I was having really bad cramps and passed a lot of clots. I'm on day 11 of bleeding. Should I be concerned? I've never experienced cramps this bad before, and my periods are usually irregular. I'm due for a pelvic exam, and I haven't had any irregular results from past exams. I'm 31 years old, not taking contraceptive pills, and my last sexual activity was on June 10th and 11th, without taking Plan B. What should I do?

I have a cyst-like bump between the labia and vulva. It is tender to touch, with some redness in my groin area. I woke up with it yesterday, and the swelling and pain have increased since then. The cyst is firm and elongated, not round. I take birth control and am 28 years old. I had bacterial vaginosis (BV) about a month ago. What could this be, and what should I do?

I have been bleeding for over a week and a half, which isn't normal. The bleeding has been stable, and I am not using any medications specifically for the bleeding but do take medicine for other health issues. I am 38 years old and have a medical history of asthma, depression, migraines, allergies, endometriosis, and cervical cancer. What could be causing the prolonged bleeding, and what steps should I take?

I went to the ER today because of vaginal burning but no UTI. Can you interpret the results and help me understand if there's anything serious like cancer or if it's treatable?

I have had Mirena for 7 months and have been experiencing nausea, black discharge, fatigue, and occasional cramps. I stopped getting my period a few months ago, and I had unprotected sex on the 14th. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
