I've been dealing with some itching in my vulva and tried using Candid B, but it hasn't really helped. It's not because of any white discharge, but I noticed some redness there too. I've also got this itching between the skin that connects my anus and vagina. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

That could be bacterial or fungal vaginitis,visit your Gynaecologist for appropriate management.

I recently found out I have HSV1, but I tested negative for HSV2. I think my partner also has HSV1 and not HSV2. If he performs oral sex on me when he's not having an outbreak, is there a chance I'd end up with HSV2 genital herpes, or would it just be HSV1 genital herpes?

Since you and your partner both have HSV-1, the risk of transmitting HSV-1 to your genitals through oral sex is present, but you will not contract HSV-2; if infected, you may develop genital herpes caused by HSV-1, which tends to be less severe and less likely to recur compared to HSV-2.

I'm a 32-year-old woman with a 3-year-old kid and have been having heavy periods. My gynecologist recommended a pelvic scan, which showed an echogenic polyp measuring 22.7x16.7mm in the anterior endometrial cavity with no color flow. I had a laparoscopic surgery in 2016 and my pap smear was negative. Is this polyp something serious or can I leave it as it is? What should my next steps be?

You should go for HYSTEROSCOPIC removal of polyp and endometrial biopsy for further evaluation as it is showing endometrial hyperplasia You should do your beta HCG measurement also
