I've got these blisters on one of the lips of my vagina, and it's super painful. I've been experiencing some burning and itchiness too. I always have protected sex, but about a few weeks ago, I did receive oral sex. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Blisters on one lip of your vagina along with pain and itching could be indicative of genital herpes. Since you mentioned receiving oral sex a few weeks ago, it is possible that you have contracted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genitally. I recommend taking antiviral medication such as Acyclovir (400mg three times a day) or Valacyclovir (1 gram twice a day) to help manage the symptoms and reduce the duration of the outbreak. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding sexual contact until the blisters have healed can help in the healing process.

I've been taking Meprate, and I'm concerned about some side effects. Last month, I had really bad pain on the lower right side of my stomach, but it went away after my period was over. Could this be something serious or affect my uterus in some way? I'm a bit worried.

no it will not affect your uterus

I'm really worried about what's happening with me and my husband. We've been having great sex for a year, but lately, it's like he can't fully enter me. It feels like there's something blocking or that I'm just too tight, and he also says it feels different and is uncomfortable, sometimes even painful for him. Could this be related to the fungal infection I had last month? What can we do about this?

I noticed a small lump about the size of a pea under my skin near my clitoris about a month ago. It disappeared but now it's come back and feels like a hard little ball. What could this be and should I be worried?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a benign cyst, possibly a Bartholin gland cyst or a blocked gland. While it's usually not a cause for concern, it's a good idea to get it checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any issues and get proper advice on how to manage it.
