I have lower back pain, nausea, and cramps that feel like PMS but are occurring a couple of weeks after my period. These symptoms have lasted for about a week. I am using a progesterone-only pill (POP) for birth control and am sexually active, but I have no urinary symptoms. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I recently had sex when I wasn't wet enough, and it hurt, like a burning hurt, around the vagina opening as he entered me. I have a small bump that is irritating to touch, but it is not a blister that opens or breaks. Could this just be irritation from sex? Is it herpes or warts?

What is the best birth control method for my 15-year-old daughter who has been experiencing severe mood changes, crying, and potential weight gain with the NuvaRing, and had trouble with the patch coming off? Our family has a history of depression and weight gain, and she has not been sexually active.

I am 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Yesterday, after light swimming and dinner, I noticed a small amount of pinkish-red blood when I wiped. The bleeding has since stopped. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks a few months ago and have a cyst on an ovary, which was checked by ultrasound due to consistent brown spotting. Is this bleeding normal, or should I go to the hospital for a check-up? The last ultrasound showed a heartbeat.
