I am a 'cured' cervical cancer patient of 20 years. I have two sexual partners, one of whom is very recent. With one partner, I experience a watery pinkish-bloody discharge during intercourse, but not with the other partner. The first partner is more aggressive and can maintain intercourse for longer periods. As a previous cancer patient, I worry that this new partner has uncovered a new cancer situation. What could be causing this discharge, and should I be concerned about a recurrence of cancer?

I am 62 years old and postmenopausal. I have been taking progesterone in addition to hormone therapy for two weeks and am experiencing vaginal bleeding, cramps, and bloating for three days. Should I stop taking it, or is this a normal side effect?

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.
