Can anything other than STIs cause bumps on the vagina? I just woke up to them today. The bumps are swollen, and my vulva is itchy, but not the bumps. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, no vaginal discharge, pain when urinating, and I just shaved a day or two ago. I only had sex with one person, and he hasn’t been with anyone, and I have no history of STIs. I also had a baby 2 months ago.

My vagina is causing me pain, with symptoms including lower stomachache, shakiness, and a burning sensation that has been ongoing since Monday. I am 19 years old, did not have sex, but took Plan B. What could be causing this and what treatments can I try?

I've had two partial hysterectomies within an eight-month timespan. I'm still experiencing severe pain similar to a urinary tract infection, affecting my back, lower abdomen, and legs, making work difficult. I'm 29 years old and have been on antibiotics without relief. My bowel movements have changed in size and color, and I sometimes feel full despite having just gone. My doctor dismisses my pain, saying I have no female organs left. What can I do for relief and where should I proceed next?

I missed my period and think I have pregnancy symptoms. I'm not using contraceptives or medications, and I'm 20 years old. My last period began on October 10, and I threw up after drinking orange juice. What should I do?

I've been experiencing extreme sharp pain in my lower left abdomen near my ovaries, which only occurs during my fertile days and worsens on my ovulation day. The pain is relieved by heat or ibuprofen and disappears after my fertile days. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2010 and had cysts removed from both ovaries in 2009. I'm 34 years old and have not had any recent pelvic exams or ultrasounds. I'm not on any medications. What could be causing this pain and what can be done to manage it?

I had sexual intercourse earlier and right after, my ovaries started feeling discomfort/pressure and a little pain. The pain started about 10 minutes after intercourse and has persisted. I'm not sure if it's an ovarian cyst that maybe ruptured or if it was caused by deep penetration. The pain is more pelvic than ovary and switches between both, mostly feeling like discomfort or ache. I'm 22 years old, on a low-dose birth control, and have no other medical illnesses. My last period started on February 1st, and I have no vaginal spotting. I also felt a little uncomfortable/dry during intercourse.
