I am 53 years old and had a normal pap smear last week, but endometrial cells were mentioned. I still have periods every couple of months, but no heavy bleeding or spotting between periods. What does the presence of endometrial cells mean, and should I be concerned about endometrial cancer?

I had sex several times last week with a latex condom, experienced severe period cramps, a tear/fissure in the interlabial sulci area, intense itching, burning during urination, and noticed bumps on my labia majora and groin area. I am concerned about potential herpes infection, yeast infection, or other bacterial infections. What could these symptoms indicate, and what steps should I take for diagnosis and treatment?

I have an ovarian cyst with daughter cyst (5cm and bigger than ovary) and uterine fibroid. My OB/GYN removed my Nexplanon implant and put me on levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol birth control pills to help shrink the cysts and manage severe chronic low back pain worsening with periods. I have been bleeding for almost a month, passing tissue, and experiencing nausea. Should I be seen at the ER?

I have been experiencing light bleeding for two months, with significant bleeding only when wiping and small clots in the toilet in the morning. I have a history of abnormal periods, am not pregnant, and have not had a period or cramps in three months. I also experience a slight ache in my left ovary. What could be causing this and is it an emergency?

I have a large (small orange) sized lump on the posterior side of my vaginal wall. I had a hysterectomy with removal of cervix and both ovaries two years ago. Intercourse with my husband hurts so bad that I cried last time. It is like being cut with daggers and then pouring salt on the wound. We have never had this problem before and we used plenty of lubricant, tried going slower and changing positions to no avail. By the time we gave up I was nauseous from the pain. Can you tell me what this could be?

My wife is 25 years old and her expected period was January 28. She had her last period starting December 28 and ending January 6. We calculated her pregnancy weeks starting from December 28, expecting it to be 11 weeks, but an ultrasound today showed she is only 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant. How should we interpret this discrepancy and what should we know about her pregnancy timeline?
