I had Mirena inserted during surgical treatment for endometriosis just over a year ago. After about a 6 month adjustment phase, Mirena really seemed to help my endo symptoms. Over the course of the last 4 months, the symptoms have been returning and my periods are becoming heavier instead of lighter. Could endometriosis be returning even with Mirena in place? What should I watch for or do in the meantime?

I have black discharge but no period. The discharge started one month ago for 3-4 days, then again after a month for 4-5 days. My last period was from March 15 to March 20, and I haven't had a period for 75 days. My periods have not been regular from the start. I have stress and have lost weight. How can I get my period back quickly?

Today I went to a barber in Florida, USA, and received a haircut. At the end of the haircut, the barber used a shavette razor on the sides of my neck, resulting in a razor burn on the right side. I am unsure if the barber installed a new razor when he performed the shave. What is my exposure to Hepatitis B or C infection? I understand HIV exposure is very low. The razor burn site is stinging 10 hours after the visit.

I had a total hysterectomy about a month ago and have been experiencing complications such as nausea, chills, insomnia, burning sensation during urination inside my vagina and above the incision, difficulty pooping without a water enema and suppository, and an inability to hold anything down. I am 42 years old, and my last pap test two weeks ago showed an abnormal rise in my gallbladder. I also have anemia and feel like something is seriously wrong. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I undergo to determine the issue?
