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'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.
It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.

I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance. I was diagnosed with a cyst in my right ovary and was prescribed Regestrone for five days, which brought on my period. The doctor also advised me to start taking Diane 35 on the fourth day, which I've been taking regularly. I've only two more tablets left from my pack. I did have unprotected sex during the first week of starting the pill, but there was no ejaculation inside. Should I be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy?
The chances of pregnancy are slim. You shouldn't worry about it since you said there was no ejaculation inside. Kindly wait for your periods or consult a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.
