I am 36 years old and experiencing heavy bleeding with large clots, minor cramping, and minor chest pain in the upper middle of my chest. I had a normal pap test last year but had an abnormal one about 6 years ago. Should I seek medical attention?

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?
