For the past 15 years, every time I get sexually stimulated, either from a partner or through self-stimulation, I experience severe lower abdominal cramping that forces me to stop due to intense pain, which subsides after about 5 to 10 minutes. This happens consistently at the onset of sexual stimulation. My gynecologist suggested taking Advil before sex, but this does not work and I don't believe it's a solution. What could be causing this problem and what can I do about it?

I had a Pap smear done and it came back normal, but I tested positive for HPV16. My GP removed the two small genital warts I had and advised me to do a Pap smear every year to ensure no changes. What would you suggest?

I had an abortion last week at about 5 weeks of pregnancy. I am Rh-negative blood type and was given an Rhogam shot. I'm scared because I read online that having this blood type and undergoing an abortion could lead to future infertility, miscarriages, or birth defects. Additionally, I want to know when I can start exercising again and when my next period should start.

I'm having a period problem. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2015, but I've never had this issue before. My last period was from the 18th to the 21st, but I've had light spotting every day since then until it got heavier and I started passing clots. I put a tampon in last night and woke up with blood everywhere. My last pap test was in 2015, and it was abnormal with cells frozen off my cervix. There is an unusually strong smell. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I started using a vaginal insert for a yeast infection two days ago and noticed pink/red discharge whenever the cream flows out. I had intercourse with my partner the day before starting the insert, and he penetrated me with his fingers, which were a bit rough. Could this have caused internal bleeding, and should I be concerned about the pink discharge?
