Hello doctor,

I am 21 year old female. I was intimate with my partner for the first time yesterday. He rubbed his penis on my vagina without protection and came on my stomach.

Since yesterday, I have had white thick mucus discharge, discomfort, and a burning sensation during urination. Kindly help.

I am a 30 year old female. I seek your guidance and expertise on the hormone estrogen, as I believe it plays a crucial role in women's health, and I would like to understand its functions and implications. I have several questions related to estrogen.

1. What is estrogen, and what are its primary functions in the female body?

4. Can you recommend lifestyle and dietary choices that might support healthy estrogen levels and women's overall well-being?

Kindly suggest.

I am 32 years old with a height of 5 feet and 5 inches and currently, I weigh 198 pounds. My last menstrual cycle occurred 37 days back and the current one started five days back. My period looks dark brown, and it is very light. It looks more like dirty water instead of blood. I am worried. Please help.
