I noticed that I have two vaginal openings, meaning I have 4 holes. I have one vaginal opening that seems normal, and a smaller opening just above it. How did I discover this? I have a yeast infection currently, so I was applying Vaseline to some tears I had with a mirror. That’s when I noticed the smaller hole above my vaginal opening. Is the smaller opening large enough that I can insert my finger into it? Or is it smaller than that? It is probably large enough that I could insert something as small as a q-tip.

I am a 68-year-old female experiencing irritated bowel diarrhea multiple times a day, especially after urination, along with lower abdomen pain that is tender when pressed. I also have a low-grade fever and cloudy urine. I had diverticulitis and surgery in 2019 but haven't had gut pain since. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I was having intercourse and started bleeding. I have an IUD (Mirena) and haven't had a period for the past 7 years. This was the first time I bled during sex, and there was no pain, just light bleeding. What could be the cause of this bleeding, and what should I do?

My period is late by a day. However, my last period was 2 weeks early, which came 4 days after I had protected sex. I’m 39. Could I be pregnant or possible perimenopause starting?

My 18-year-old daughter has had unusual periods in the last month. The first lasted five days, which is short for her, and the second started two weeks later and has been going on for two and a half weeks now. Both periods have been a lighter flow than normal, and the second has been a darker color than normal. She is not using contraceptives or medications, and there are no unusual medical history factors. The biggest recent change in her schedule is walking 20,000 steps a day as a freshman in college.
