For the past couple of months, I've been experiencing brown spotting/discharge and no period. I've taken multiple pregnancy tests, all negative. I'm 19 years old and have never had this happen before. Is it some type of infection? The discharge has no noticeable odor and is close to egg-white/chunky in texture. My last normal period was March 23, and it used to be very regular. I work 40 hours a week at a physically demanding job, which has caused me to lose 13 lbs since September 2020. I also struggle with depression and anxiety, and I consume a lot of caffeine daily, which makes me feel exhausted. At work, I sometimes experience hot flashes, blurry vision, derealization, and shakiness.

I’m having slight vaginal discomfort that has been on and off for about 3 months. It’s stable, getting better but never worse. I’m using over-the-counter Clotrimazole cream and am on birth control. I’m concerned it could be a yeast infection, UTI, or BV. What should I do?

Hi Doctor, it is about my grandfather. He is having a fever, and we did a blood test. I have attached the blood test reports. Please suggest what to do next.

I am 7 weeks pregnant and have experienced past miscarriages. I was prescribed progesterone suppositories due to spotting, but after 4 days, I started having pain in the back of my pelvis on the right side. Is this a side effect of the progesterone, and should I continue taking it?

I’ve been having my period for around 10 days now with spotting that doesn’t seem to go away. I started bleeding abnormally when I was about to begin being sexually active again. I’m currently still bleeding and it’s been around 10 minutes. I am using Aviane as contraception and have missed one pill this cycle. The bleeding was very light but became heavy when I was about to be sexually active. I feel slight pressure on my abdomen. This hasn't happened before, even when I've missed pills in the past. When should I see a doctor?

I had a bad yeast infection that caused my vulva to swell and hurt severely. I took fluconazole, and while the symptoms seem to be gone, my vulva is still very swollen and painful. I have Arnicare pills. Do you think they will help, and what else do you recommend?
