Hello, ever since I’ve had a new sexual partner I’ve had a very uncomfortable vaginal odor. I’ve already gone for tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea and they’ve come back negative. I have no idea what to do I have never experienced this before. How long have you dealt with the odor? Is this issue stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the odor or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

This month's period has been unusually heavy and painful, with today passing a blood clot the size of my thumb. The pain is frequent and stabbing. I am on Prozac, 20 years old, and have anemia. I am not on birth control and sometimes have unprotected sex. What could be the cause of this and what should I do?

I want to learn more about bacterial vaginosis (BV), what it is, where it comes from, and how it can be treated and prevented. I am a 19-year-old female with an IUD and have noticed a fishy odor sometimes after intimate activities, but no other symptoms like itching, burning, redness, or discharge.

I have been taking a progestin-only pill called Sharobel for the past couple of months. Today, I switched to a combined pill, Estrallya, and experienced leg pain after taking the first pill. The pain is constant and achy, and I also have swelling in my left calf due to a poor valve in my vein. Can I switch back to Sharobel, and if so, when should I start taking it again?

My last period date was September 13, and it has been 14 days more than my expected date of period this month. I am 19 years old, not taking any medications or vitamins, and my pregnancy test was negative. I have been drinking alcohol this month and experiencing irregular sleeping due to shifts. Is it the reason for the change in my menstrual cycle?

Can a doctor determine the difference between an early medical abortion (EMA) and an incomplete miscarriage, and if so, how might they find out if someone had an incomplete medical abortion?
