I have painful nipples, white clear discharge, and a burning sensation around the rim of my vagina. I'm on antibiotics (nitrofurantoin), metoprolol, and a blood thinner (Xarelto). I thought it was a urinary tract infection. Could this be a yeast infection?

I have tissue on the posterior fourchette that hasn't healed well following some fleshy clusters of bumps near the vaginal entrance on the left side. I've had the bumps for about a month and a half now. They are not itchy or a different color. I am 30 years old and supposedly got an HPV vaccine at least a year or two ago, but I don't remember getting all three shots. What could these bumps be, and what should I do about them?

I am experiencing heavy bleeding and irregular periods. I have taken a pregnancy test which was negative, but I am concerned if it could be a miscarriage or just a heavy period. What could be the cause, and what steps should I take to regulate my cycle?

I am a 28-year-old woman with regular periods and no current medications. I took Plan B on September 2, had an early period from September 11-16, and another period a week ago. Since then, I have noticed significant hair thinning, back cramps, lower abdominal pressure, and increased anxiety and depression. I have read about taking spironolactone for hair loss but have not taken it in about six months. What should I do to address these symptoms and hair loss?

I am on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and my periods started the day I arrived. I am only here for a week, and a pharmacist recommended Primolut N. Will that help shorten the periods? I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and my last period began on December 24. I am 34 years old and have no other significant medical history.
