After having sex, I always bleed, and this time it was quite a bit with severe cramping lasting for about 2 days. I do not have a period anymore due to an IUD, but this happens every time. I am 24 years old, taking Vyvanse, Hydroxyzine, and Wellbutrin, and have a history of ovarian cysts and genital herpes (managed with Valacyclovir). Should I be worried about this, and what should I do?

I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and haven't seen an OB/GYN yet. Starting yesterday, I've had severe muscle cramps or spasms in the vaginal area. My menstrual cramps are always severe, but this type of cramping is new. I'm currently using Ondansetron for nausea, Aimovig for chronic migraines, and Topiramate for GERD and hiatal hernia. I had a small amount of spotting about 20 minutes ago. Should I be worried about the pain inside below my cervix when I pee?

I'm 4 days late on my period and I’m not sure if I’m pregnant because my boyfriend and I don’t use protection. In the past, I would always get negative results when I would take a test. My last period was last month from the 2nd to the 8th, and I used to be on birth control. What should I do to confirm if I'm pregnant, and what could be causing my delayed period?

I have a yeast infection causing swelling in my vagina. It's been going on for a couple of days and I usually get them before my cycle. The opening of my vagina is very irritated, tender, and swollen. I've had white slightly yellow discharge and no unusual products used recently. I've tried Monistat before, but it doesn't help. Is there anything else I could try or get prescribed?

I have a large uterine fibroid (12.3cm) and am scheduled for surgery. I have breast symptoms such as lumpiness and asymmetry in the areolar area of my right breast, which persist after my menstrual cycle. My Pap test was negative. Given my family history of uterine cancer (my maternal grandmother) and the absence of breast cancer in my family, I am concerned about my risk of uterine cancer and the relationship between my fibroid and breast symptoms. What should my concerns be, and what screenings or diagnostics should I undergo?

I noticed a blister/pimple in my vagina, which is not causing pain but I can feel it. I am 27 years old and have not had any recent pap tests or pelvic exams. I had herpes a few years ago. What could this pimple be and what should I do about it?
