I'm 8 days late for my period, but all pregnancy tests have come back negative. I'm not using birth control but took the morning-after pill last month. My periods are generally irregular but have never been this late before. What could be causing this delay?

I have been experiencing itchy, irritated, and milky discharge from my vaginal area for about a month. The discharge lasts for a while, then goes away, and comes back again. There is no noticeable odor. I am 39 years old, not using any medications, and maintain good hygiene. I am currently on a family planning method. What could be causing this, and what can I do to relieve it?

I had a large Bartholin cyst rupture today. I cleaned the blood, washed the area, and applied antibiotic cream. The cyst was very large and painful before it ruptured, but the pain and swelling have gone away now. What should I do next, and what symptoms should I watch out for?

I think I have vaginal atrophy. I've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex, stabbing pain that has been consistent for two years without getting better or worse. I'm 23 years old, not on any medications, and have no other medical conditions. The pain started after I had recurring yeast infections and then bacterial vaginosis two years ago. I also have an ongoing itch that hasn't gone away despite trying various remedies. I've researched and think it might be vaginal atrophy or lactobacillus overgrowth, and I'm concerned about increased blood flow to the vaginal walls. Sex is very painful, and I get no satisfaction from it anymore. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?
