I'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?

The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.

I'm 24 years old and married. On Saturday morning, I noticed a small pimple on my breast, and when I pressed it to remove the pus, I noticed some white and clear stuff leaking out. When I checked the other breast, it was also leaking when pressed. I've also been dealing with a cold and cough for about a month, and I've been massaging my body with oil daily from my neck to my stomach. Could this leaking be related to me touching or massaging my breasts daily? What's going on?

I'm trying to figure out if I'm experiencing early pregnancy symptoms or just normal stuff. My last menstrual period was on May 4th, 2016, and today I'm 10 days past ovulation. We're planning to conceive, but since my next period is still about five days away, I'm not sure what to expect. Lately, I've been feeling really sleepy and noticed some watery vaginal discharge for the past 3-4 days. Are these signs of early pregnancy, or do they happen naturally? Would love your thoughts.
