I think I have vulvitis. I have swollen, itchy labia and a small 'slice' like cut at the top. The itchiness started on Thursday and has been coming and going, but it's getting more swollen and uncomfortable over time. My skin is red and raised. I have no known allergies. I had sex on Wednesday with someone new, which was impromptu and not fully prepared, leading to dry and vigorous intercourse. Could this have caused my symptoms?

I took a pregnancy test yesterday, which showed a faint positive, but today's test was negative. I'm 21 years old with symptoms including light vaginal bleeding/discharge, food aversions, stomach cramps, headache, and nausea. My last period was about two weeks ago, and my last Pap test was in January with no issues reported. What should my next step be?

I am a 28-year-old female with a copper IUD (Mirena) inserted since December 2018. My last period was from September 9-13, and I am currently 9 days late. I have taken two negative pregnancy tests and have had flu-like symptoms recently. What could be causing my delayed period, and should I be concerned?

I'm testing negative for pregnancy, but I'm late for my period and have been spotting for the last 3 days. I'm not using any contraceptives and this is our second month trying to conceive. What could be causing the spotting and late period, and should I be concerned?

I just had sex for the first time with my boyfriend 4 days ago, and since then I've developed a small, painful, ulcer-like sore on my labia majora and a small red sore under my clitoral hood. I don't understand because he used a condom and he said he had a blood test done a month ago with negative STD results. What could be wrong?
