I am having regular periods for 10 days with heavy flow. I am 19 years old and had a similar issue when I was 17, which was treated by an Indian doctor. I have not had any unprotected sex, no lower stomach pain, and I am not on any birth control. My last gynecological exam was 2 years ago, and I have an ultrasound result from that time. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I was fingered on the morning of July 8th between 2am-9am at different times. There was no penetration, but there was precum from my partner masturbating. I don't remember if he used that hand or not to finger me. Just in case, I took the PiDana pill (1.5 mg levonorgestrel) that same morning between 10am-11am. However, I later read that the pill is not effective if your BMI is 30 or higher (my BMI is 30), so I took Ellaone earlier this afternoon. Am I safe from getting pregnant? The first day of my last period was June 29th.

I have a single bump on my labia minora that has been present for about 4 years. It does not hurt, itch, or have pus, and it has remained the same size. I occasionally bleed after or during penetration, but there is no pain or itchiness associated with the bump. I have been tested for STDs and have not tested positive. What could this bump be, and what should I do about it?

I got my period 5 days early this week, on day 25 instead of the usual 30-32 day range. It started with watery discharge with a tinge of blood, followed by passing dark brown clots that were gummy and stuck together. Today, the blood texture is more normal but I'm still passing some clots and feeling shaky and weak. I'm 18 years old, on Accutane, and have never been sexually active. What could be causing this unusual period and should I be concerned?

I didn't have my period last month. My last period was from June 5th to 10th. I'm 21 years old, not using any contraceptives or medications, and my menstrual cycle is usually 29 days. I've had cramps and tender breasts, and I've had sex recently. I've taken pregnancy tests but they've all been negative. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have thick cream-colored discharge and pimple-like bumps on my vagina. It started last week when I had COVID-19, and it's been pretty constant. I'm also super itchy. What color is the discharge? Is there a noticeable odor to it? I never get my period due to having the Marina IUD. Should I be concerned about an STD or could it just be a yeast infection?
