I am 39 years old and have been experiencing bloating, SI joint pain, back pain on my right side, headaches, fatigue, and severe pain during intercourse that has never happened before. The pain subsided but has been replaced by a dull pain in my ovary, back, down my leg, and on the right side of my back. I have not had a period in 7 weeks, am slightly constipated, and experienced vaginal itching after sex a week ago. My functional doctor suggested I contact an OB/GYN due to concerns about an estrogen absorption issue and a possible UTI. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have no health insurance and can't afford to go to a doctor, but I am experiencing massive cramps, back pain, and a discharge. I have not had a period for over a year, and my periods were regular before that. I am 41 years old and have had several abdominal surgeries and hernias. I have tried Tylenol and Midol, but they do not help with the pain. The discharge is pale, cloudy, thick, and sometimes greenish, with no noticeable odor or itching. My urine is strong. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

Hey! So me and my boyfriend got pretty intoxicated last night and ended up having unprotected sex, I also forgot to take my birth control which I usually take at 9 every night, I woke up this morning and took a plan b. My question is should I take my birth control right now too? Or should I just take the assigned pill tonight?

Is it bad that I haven’t had my period for 42 days? I'm 15 years old, not using any contraceptives or medications, and my last period started on January 20th and ended on January 24th. I'm not sexually active, had mild cramps on Monday, and my period was supposed to start five days ago. I use the app Flo to track my period and noticed I was 40 days late. I don't have any discharge like I usually do. When should I be worried about it, and when is it good to start going to the obgyn?

I have a bump on my genital area for about 1-2 weeks. It's a single bump, not very big, and located where the lower buttocks ends and the genital area begins on the left side. It hasn't been painful but became tender after I popped it, releasing a clear sticky liquid. I have no itching, no medications, and a history of chlamydia cleared months ago. I also got the bump right before my period. What could this be and what should I do?

I'm a week late for my period and took a negative pregnancy test. My last period was April 12th, and I had spotting last Sunday. My period has shortened from 4 days to 2 days in the last year, and I've experienced increased cramps. I'm 31 years old and usually have a 32-35 day cycle. This is our first month trying to conceive. What should I do next, and is it normal to have light spotting and early periods when trying to conceive?
