My last period was on October 12, but my cycles have been late by 2-3 days for the past few months, and they usually last 25 days but have been 30 days recently. I have tested for pregnancy and the results were negative. My periods are always painful and short, but they have always been on time. Should I do blood work as soon as possible, or is it okay to wait since it's only been 4 days late?

I started my period on March 24th and it ended, but I started bleeding heavily again on Saturday. I am 46 years old, have been fixed for close to 20 years, and am on various medications including thyroid medicines, metformin, and lorazepam. I also have irritable bowel disease syndrome and sciatic nerve issues. What could be causing this heavy bleeding, and what should I do?

I have recurrent yellow discharge and foul-smelling symptoms, which I believe are related to bacterial vaginosis. I've been using boric acid vaginal suppositories and taking metronidazole, but the symptoms keep coming back. Will it show up in my blood work, and what can I do to prevent it from recurring?

I had unprotected sex 11 months ago and have experienced vaginal and anal irritation since then. I was vaccinated for Gardasil 4 about 10 years ago and have tested negative for various infections. My partner was also tested and was clean. I have a few concerns: 1) Could I still have genital warts after 11 months? 2) Once the pH in my vagina has gotten off, is it more likely to get off again in the future? 3) Why am I experiencing this irritation again, and once you get a fungal infection, are you more likely to get them again? 4) Is there any STD that can present symptoms like this 10-11 months after exposure?

I have PCOS and my periods have been lasting 2 weeks. I was on Yaz for 7 months and am now on Claria, but the issue persists. My PCOS is getting worse, and my weight has also increased. How can I stop my period and lose weight, and how long will it take for my PCOS to improve with Claria?
