I am 21 years old and have had cracked nipples due to running for as long as I can remember. I have noticed a very small amount of white discharge with a foul smell from my nipples, especially when I don't wear a bra and run or rub against my shirt, which causes a burning sensation. I have no other symptoms, no swelling, and no lumps. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I was spotting for a week and had a foul-smelling discharge a week later. My partner also experienced itching on his shaft after intercourse. The discharge started 3 days ago and comes and goes. It is thick and white, almost like a paste. Neither of us is currently on any medications. What could be causing these symptoms and how can they be treated?

I've been having abnormal bleeding for about 5 months and I’m in pain. The pain is sharp and achey, localized in the abdominal area. I have PTSD, narcolepsy, and take medication for both. I’m 29 years old, my periods have been mostly normal but started to be irregular this year, and I’ve been bleeding every day since February. I have blood clots, and I saw my OBGYN who put in an IUD but it didn’t help. An ultrasound test didn’t find any fibroids or abnormalities, but I’ve been having a lot of pain and discomfort, sometimes feeling weak to the point of almost passing out. I’m not taking any hormone pills and change my pad around 6-7 times a day or more. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have no fever, discharge, burning or itching while passing urine, stress, or any other symptoms. What could be causing these cramps and what can I do to alleviate them?
