Question 1

Is bacterial vaginosis an STD?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis isn't considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD)

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my episiotomyit still causes me pain, even though it's been three years since I gave birth. It's particularly uncomfortable during my periods and when I'm having intercourse. Should I be worried that this pain hasn't gone away, and is there anything I can do to relieve it?

Accepted Answer

Episiotomy incision involves the wall of the vagina. Generally, the wall of the vagina is strong, but post surgical intervention, it may weaken. It is important to maintain vaginal wall muscle strength through Kegel's Exercises. Do these everyday to improve muscle strength. If the pain persists, please visit a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Question 3

I'm really worried and could use some help. My girlfriend and I had sex the day after her period ended, and I gave her an Unwanted 72 pill 48 hours later. A week after taking the pill, she got her period again, and a blood test showed negative for pregnancy. But now, it's been a month since all that, and she hasn't gotten her period again. She's feeling pain in her stomach and like there's something moving in a circular way. Could you tell me what might be going on?
