I am 5 weeks pregnant and had a little bleeding earlier today that presented in the toilet after I used the restroom, along with mild cramps that come and go. I take vitamins, cetritizine, and a probiotic, and I exercise frequently. I had an abortion about 10 years ago and have recurrent BV. Should I be concerned about the bleeding and cramps, and what should I do next?

I have sudden and constant sharp right lower pelvic pain that started recently and is tender to touch. The pain worsens when walking or laying down, and I have experienced similar pain during/after intercourse about 4 months ago. I am 23 years old and have no other medical conditions. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I have HSV-2 and my husband also has HSV-2. We want to have another child, but I'm concerned about the transmission of the virus during pregnancy and delivery. I had a vaginal delivery with my first child, who is now five years old and healthy, but I didn't know I had herpes at that time. Should I be on suppressive therapy for herpes, and should my daughter be tested for herpes given that she didn't show any symptoms?

I am 4 days late for my period, have taken 4 negative pregnancy tests, and my period is usually regular. I am using condoms and taking vitamin D3 tablets. Should I be concerned, and when should I see an OB/GYN?

I’m 20 years old and I feel a small hard lump on the left outer labia. I am not sexually active and it doesn’t hurt. How long have you dealt with the lump? Is this issue stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the lump or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I am on my second day of my menstrual cycle and experiencing heavy bleeding, almost gushing, requiring two maxi pads that last only 30 minutes. I feel fine with occasional cramps. Should I go to the ER?
