I am a 26-year-old female who has been on birth control pills for nearly 10 years. Recently, my periods have become heavier and more painful, and this month I have experienced light spotting but no full period. I have been under significant stress due to recent life changes and a loss. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing these changes in my menstrual cycle and how can I address them?

I am experiencing discomfort when my clitoris is rubbed, which has happened twice now. After the second incident, I noticed a small blister/sore next to the clitoris. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been experiencing reddish, pinkish discharge with very painful pelvic pain that comes and goes in a constant manner. The pain is achey and stabbing. I am 24 years old, on birth control pills (Junel 1.5/30), Wellbutrin, and Lexapro. I also have recurrent back pain, constipation, and an undiagnosed leg tremor. I have not been able to undergo any evaluations due to psychological trauma from sexual abuse. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I used Monistat 1 last Monday for a yeast infection and the symptoms are mostly gone, but there's still some occasional itching. Should I buy another Monistat treatment to get rid of the residual infection?

I have bumps on my vagina that have been present for three weeks. They are not painful or itchy, but the fluid inside is white. I suspect they might be related to burning my vagina with hot wax or ingrown hairs. What could these bumps be, and what can I do to treat them? Additionally, I have recurring yeast infections. Is there a way to prevent them?
