What causes delayed periods with negative pregnancy test results?
Hello doctor,
I had my period two months ago. Although I had unprotected sex afterward, I have not seen my period since then. I have done blood and urine tests, but they brought out negative results. I also had a scan, but nothing is showing. I took antibiotics for the same complaint. Please help me.

What causes greenish vaginal discharge with a burning sensation during urination?
Hi doctor,
So for over a year, I have had a lot of symptoms of UTI (pain while I have to hold my urine burning, frequent urges to pee. I have seen a doctor multiple times and I have taken at least two urine tests. The one I took two months ago had a leukocyte count of 25 and 0 mg/dL on culture. I took another last month, and it revealed 25 leukocytes but this time a negative on culture and a count of 100 mg/dL. I do not understand if I have an infection. Another issue I suspected is related to the greenish discharge which I have noticed for at least a year (which is strange to me because I am a virgin and I do not think I can get an STD or something). I went to a gynecologist, she did a pelvic check and she said that I had a fungal infection. She also had me do a swab to send to the laboratory. She prescribed me a cream and an antifungal pill which I was to take once and it was supposed to work within three days to a week, and I was supposed to use the cream twice daily for a week. But here a week has passed and I see no change. I also got results from the test indicating that I do not have a fungal infection. Could my discharge possibly be related to my urinary tract situation?
Please help.

How to manage the symptoms of food poisoning at home?
Hello doctor,
I am a 37-year-old female. I am writing to you because I believe I may be experiencing symptoms of food poisoning, and I am seeking your professional advice on how to address this matter. I have been feeling nauseous and queasy, and the sensation seems to persist. I have vomited three times, and it has been accompanied by stomach cramps and discomfort. I have also experienced diarrhea, with watery or loose stools. Is it likely that my symptoms are indeed due to food poisoning, or could there be other potential causes that need to be considered? Are there any warning signs or red flags that I should watch out for a while managing food poisoning at home? How can I manage the symptoms of food poisoning at home? Are there specific dietary recommendations I should follow or over-the-counter medications I can take to alleviate discomfort?
Thank you.
