I am a 25-year-old woman who has not had a period for over a year. I am not using any medications and do not have any known medical conditions or symptoms like weight changes, acne, increased hair growth, unusual temperature sensitivity, appetite issues, diarrhea or constipation, anxiety, palpitations, or sweating. What could be the cause of my lack of periods, and what tests or actions should I consider?

I am 50 years old, had my last period in October, and had unprotected sex on December 6. Should I take a Plan B pill for peace of mind, and what should I know about potential side effects and informing my regular doctor?

I have been spotting with clots for about 2 weeks. The spotting was dark red for the first few days but now it's brown. I am 32 years old, have a history of PCOS, and last had a period in September 2019. I also experienced headaches and nausea recently. What could be causing this spotting and what should I do?

I finished the Depo-Provera injection 4 weeks ago and now experience heavy bleeding after intercourse with my partner. The bleeding is more than my usual period flow and occurs every time we have intercourse. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 37 years old. My last pap smear was 3 years ago after the birth of my daughter. Is this bleeding normal after stopping Depo-Provera, and how long does it typically take for hormone levels to return to normal?

I have a hard lump on my vagina that doesn't hurt, but it's been there for 3 to 4 months and is increasing in size. What could it be, and what should I do?

I am 25 weeks pregnant and my stepdaughter's mom got a COVID-19 test. Two people at her work tested positive, but she wears a mask and has her own office. She wasn't required to test but took two tests, one of which was negative, and the other result is pending. Should I still be worried about her possibly getting a positive test result, given that I'm pregnant and concerned about the baby?
