I am 48 years old and on the 4th day of my period, I have dark red flecks and one bright red spot. My last period began on November 6, and I did not have normal bleeding during my last period. My cycle length varies between 3 to 7 days. What does this mean?

I lost all my pregnancy symptoms and have been spotting for a week now. I am not using any contraceptives and the spotting has been stable. My last period started on October 18 and ended on October 22. I have taken three positive pregnancy tests, the most recent on December 20. I have experienced stomach cramps and spotting for more than a week, but it's not a regular period flow. What could be the cause of these symptoms, and what should I do?

I am a 39-year-old woman experiencing frequent but not constant breast pain, particularly in my left breast, which started about a year ago. The pain varies in severity and is often triggered by dairy and caffeine intake. I have noticed that it can completely go away with abstaining from these substances. Sometimes there are painful lumps that come and go. The pain is dull, comes and goes, and is frequent. I have been under significant stress due to recent life changes, including moving, divorce, starting a new career, being a mother, and starting a new business. My diet isn't the best, but there have been no recent changes in weight or medications. The pain hasn't worsened over the past year, but it remains frequent and inconsistent. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I had sex with someone and the next day I was experiencing severe pain and heavy bleeding. The pain started the day before and is localized in my vaginal canal. The pain is achy. I'm currently taking ibuprofen and I'm 19 years old. I had a cyst a while back. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am going to have my first sexual experience with my girlfriend. My penis head has never opened completely, and I am concerned about potential issues during sex. What can I do to address this, and is it safe to proceed with sex?

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and just started bleeding, not a lot but enough that I need to wear a panty liner. I also passed a blood clot about the size of a grape but have no other pain. Should I be worried, and what should I do?
