My period has not stopped for 2 weeks, and I already went to the ER due to passing out by losing too much blood in 1 day a few weeks ago. They did pelvic exams and ultrasounds but couldn't find anything, so they prescribed me birth control pills to end the bleeding, which also has not been working at all. I have really bad dizziness, short breaths, nausea, constipation, and cramps. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding, and are there any non-hormonal medications that can help?

I left a tampon in too long and found it 4 days later. I am concerned about Toxic Shock Syndrome or any other issues this could have caused. I am 29 years old, had no irregular results from past exams, and it has been 2 years since my last exam. I was having bad cramps and a bit of diarrhea after removing the tampon, and I have a minor rash, but it's likely related to a recent tattoo.

I recently took Plan B and experienced my period a couple of days later, followed by another period-like bleeding with cramps. I have taken Azo for UTI pain relief. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have had what I believe is bacterial vaginosis (BV) for months and nothing seems to be getting rid of it. My symptoms include a very strong unpleasant smell and a lot of discharge. I have an IUD and am 22 years old. I had chlamydia a few years ago. What treatments have I tried, and what else can be done?

I am wondering if I'm pregnant. I have the IUD Kyleena, which I've had for 11 months. My last period started on November 8 and lasted until November 14. I'm 18 years old and on 100mg of sertraline. I've experienced symptoms such as nausea, mild cramps, constipation, insomnia, fatigue, and my breasts have gotten bigger. My gums have been bleeding when I brush my teeth. What could these symptoms indicate, and is there a chance I could be pregnant?
