I'm a bit confused about corpus luteum cysts. I read that they're connected to ovulation and menstruation, and nothing to do with being sexually active, but a gynecologist mentioned to me that it's not possible if you're not sexually active. Can you clarify how they actually develop?

I'm experiencing a burning sensation near my vaginal area when I pee, and there's also itching around that area and my anus. I've noticed there are some small pimples near my vagina too. What could this be and should I be worried?
Burning sensation near the vaginal area when passing urine and feeling itching near vaginal area and anus and I can feel a small pimples down the vagina. These symptoms could indicate a possible yeast infection or a bacterial infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Monistat for yeast infection. Apply it externally around the vaginal area and follow the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen for the burning sensation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because my girlfriend was expecting her period yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. She recently lost her virginity, and we're wondering if that could be the reason why it's late. Could this be affecting her cycle, or should we be concerned about something else?
Yes, it is possible for periods to be delayed after losing virginity due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. However, it is important to rule out pregnancy as well. If pregnancy is a concern, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is negative and the delay continues, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) under the guidance of a healthcare provider to induce menstruation.
