I have been experiencing stomach bleeds for the past 4 days, unable to keep anything down, including water. My stomach is swollen, and my urine is almost red. I have been given IV fluids and medications at the hospital, but the symptoms have returned. My back is tender, and I am currently taking Ondansetron, Famotidine, Lansoprazole, and Tylenol. I am 33 years old and do not drink alcohol. My stomach looks swollen, and my bowel movements appear black. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I missed my birth control pill on Monday and doubled up on Tuesday, then had sex from Wednesday to Friday. I missed another pill on Saturday and doubled up on Sunday. I induced my period, but it's much lighter than usual. Could this be implantation bleeding, and what are the implications of doubling up on my pills?

I had sex over the weekend and a couple days later, I experienced itching in my vaginal area. I thought it might be a yeast infection, but I started my period, making it hard to tell if I have the typical discharge. I'm worried it could be genital herpes. How can I tell the difference, and what should I do about the itching and discomfort?

I am late for my period by one week and have taken four negative pregnancy tests. I am 24 years old, have no symptoms, and am not using any medications. I have regular periods, but recently experienced increased body weight and stress. Additionally, I had COVID two weeks before my missed period. What could be the cause of my delayed period?

I recently finished my period 2 weeks ago, but I am bleeding now and it’s been for about a day. I thought I was spotting but it feels like my period. I’m not sure what’s going on. I had unprotected sex before my most recent period and took the morning-after pill. I’ve never had a pap test and have slight cramping and headaches. What could be causing this bleeding and when should I seek further help?
