I had the Paraguard IUD removed due to severe back pain, and I started a combination pill. After stopping the pill for 4 days and restarting, my back pain returned. I'm concerned if this is related to hormone fluctuations or if there's another underlying issue, such as endometriosis. What should I do to manage the pain and ensure it doesn't affect future pregnancies?

I had a test for yeast infections at the doctor's office, and the doctor saw yeast under the microscope, but the culture came back negative. I have been dealing with what I believed to be a recurring yeast infection for over a year now. I have had symptoms like itching, burning, and some discharge. Why might the culture test be negative when the microscopic examination showed yeast, and could I still have a yeast infection?

My wife, who is 45 years old, has been experiencing excessive bleeding during her period for the last 3 weeks. She has had a normal period before this, but now her haemoglobin is low, and she has received a blood transfusion. The hospital is suggesting a D&C (Dilation and Curettage) procedure. Is this procedure really necessary, and will it cure the problem permanently? She had a similar issue a year ago that was resolved with birth control pills.

I had unprotected sex on January 22nd, but my partner wasn't fully inside me and didn't ejaculate. I took Plan B the next day and am now 5 days late for my period. I've taken multiple negative pregnancy tests. Today, I experienced heavy cramping, lightheadedness, and fainted. What could be wrong and what should I do?

I came off birth control (Tri-Nessa) a month ago and my hyperthyroid symptoms (Graves' disease) are worse. Tri-Nessa always made me nauseous, and I'm worried about side effects from the replacement, Tri-Sprintec. I also have chronic yeast infections and thyroid eye disease, both flaring since stopping birth control. Should I restart birth control, and will it be harder on my body to get back on if I wait longer?
