I’ve been having my period for around 10 days now with spotting that doesn’t seem to go away. I started bleeding abnormally when I was about to begin being sexually active again. I’m currently still bleeding and it’s been around 10 minutes. I am using Aviane as contraception and have missed one pill this cycle. The bleeding was very light but became heavy when I was about to be sexually active. I feel slight pressure on my abdomen. This hasn't happened before, even when I've missed pills in the past. When should I see a doctor?

I had a bad yeast infection that caused my vulva to swell and hurt severely. I took fluconazole, and while the symptoms seem to be gone, my vulva is still very swollen and painful. I have Arnicare pills. Do you think they will help, and what else do you recommend?

I think I might have a yeast infection. I have inflammation and itching, but I'm in between doctors and the wait times are long. What can I do to remedy or medicate it until I can see a doctor?

Can vaginal yeast infection cream be used after intercourse without a condom? Will this affect or mix with sperm or potentially contaminate fertilization of the egg?

Within the past year, my menstrual cramps and symptoms have gotten worse. I experience such severe cramps that I can't sleep, and the pain radiates to my legs, causing them to go numb. My periods are also irregular, and I have a history of a cyclical ovarian cyst, migraines, and depression before my period. How do I determine if this is primary or secondary dysmenorrhea, and should I be concerned about the recent increase in pain?
