I am experiencing brown stains when I wipe after urinating, between my periods. This has been happening more frequently, especially when I am more active, and it started about a year to a year and a half ago. It is not my period, and there is no bad odor or itching. What could this be?

How can I get Metrogel without a prescription, and are there alternative treatments for bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections?

I have a sharp pain in my lower stomach, a fishy smell, a strong chemical smell like a musky or urine smell, and a thin white-gray discharge. The inside of my vagina also feels swollen but there's not much pain. I'm 18 years old with no medical problems, and this has been going on for 3-4 months. My urination is pretty normal, but sometimes I feel uncomfortable after peeing. There's no pain when urinating, and I have no risk for STDs. What could be causing this?

I noticed UTI symptoms such as burning when I pee, pressure, and overall discomfort last Friday. These symptoms seemed to improve but returned with spotting and blood on Sunday. I took an at-home UTI test and a pregnancy test, both of which were negative. I have never bled between periods and my periods are always regular. My last period ended on September 23rd. I am now experiencing pinkish-brown blood in my underwear and when I wipe. I am concerned and unsure what is happening. I am sexually active and not using birth control, and my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I have no known allergies except for penicillin. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My period is going to start on the first day of my wedding, and I would like to know if I can take pills to postpone it. What are the side effects if I'm planning pregnancy, and if I have a few cysts on my ovary? What about the withdrawal bleeding that happens after stopping the pills, and how many days should I use them?

My Pap smear test indicates few neutrophils with mild severe inflammatory smear. What does the conclusion state for my Pap smear? Do I have any symptoms, such as vaginal discharge?
