I've been on my period for over a month now. I'm 24 years old, was on birth control until March of this year, and have only been using ibuprofen for migraines. I gained a lot of weight due to the birth control. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding and what tests or examinations should I undergo?

I am having abnormal vaginal bleeding that is not my usual period, despite being on the pill and taking it consistently. The bleeding started as light brown discharge and has now turned into blood with clots, lasting for over two weeks. I have stopped taking the pill for now, but the bleeding has only gotten heavier. What could be causing this and when will it stop?

I recently got prescribed Metrogel for BV and have several questions: Can I use Metrogel during my period? What is Gardnerella vaginalis and should I start treatment? Will the treatment clear BV faster than it going away on its own? Can BV cause a yeast infection or will Metrogel? How can I prevent BV and yeast infections? How long does BV usually take to clear up? Should I refrain from intimacy during treatment? Can BV be transferred to my partner? How effective is Metrogel and can BV come back? Are there specific reasons females get BV? Is there a way to prevent a yeast infection from Metrogel? Can BV turn into other infections if left untreated? Can BV last without symptoms, and if so, how long? If BV is untreated and intimate with a partner, can it get worse or spread?

I am experiencing a lot of pain in my pubic area, which started about an hour ago and is constant. The pain is achey, sometimes sharp, and seems to originate in my pelvic area, occasionally shooting both up and down. I have had ovarian cysts before, but this pain seems lower and more central. I am currently on birth control and am 30 years old. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

My vagina has been vibrating like I have been sitting on a cellphone getting text messages for about 3 weeks, and it gets worse at night. I am 29 years old and have been experiencing this for 3 weeks. I had a very long and heavy period prior to this, which lasted for about 2 weeks. The vibrating sensation continued through that entire time and has not stopped since the period ended. I am not experiencing any pain, burn, itch, numbness, or changes in skin color. Occasionally, I notice quick twitches in other parts of my body, but they are not frequent. I am taking Pamprin multi-symptom at a normal dose, but no other medications.
