I am taking Doxycycline for a mycoplasma genitalia and ureaplasma infection, but it is making me very dizzy and nauseous. I think I threw up from it this morning because I forgot to take it with food, but I’ve been dizzy with a slight pressure behind my eyes since Friday (started taking Thursday night). Has the nausea been stable or getting worse? Is it constant or does it flare up? When did you start using Doxycycline? Has it helped at all? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

Why is my period lasting so long? I had sex for the first time 18 days ago and not too long after it I got my period. It was supposed to end today, but a few hours later, I started to see a little red again.

I started birth control 3 weeks ago and have had brown discharge for the past 7 days, cramps for the past 2 days, and noticed red blood today. This is my second time taking birth control, and my last period was on November 21st. I am taking the pills regularly and don't start the placebo pill for another 5 days. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

I have a soft, pliable lump just below my mons pubis within my outer labia majora. It can be felt by rubbing from the labia minora outwards, starting next to or just above the clitoris. It is not visible from the surface, not red or painful, but I sometimes notice it when sitting a certain way. I discovered it by chance a few days ago. It's sometimes hard to locate since it moves around when touched. I gave birth 4.5 weeks ago. Do cysts or swollen glands happen that high up on the labia majora? Most information about cysts/swollen glands locates them at the opening of the vagina, which mine is not. What could this be?

I am a 41-year-old male experiencing weak erections for the past 3 months, which sometimes prevents me from having sex. The condition has been stable, with occasional normal erections. I am not on any medications and have no known diseases or health issues. What should I do?

I am 45 years old and have been experiencing prolonged and irregular bleeding since May 16th. My period started with heavy flow, then light, and lasted for three days, but then started again on May 27th and has continued with varying heaviness. I have fatigue but no other symptoms. I went to the ER, where an ultrasound showed a thick endometrial lining, and my blood work was normal. I was given transexamic acid, which didn't work, and then Provera for ten days, which stopped the bleeding. I am concerned about the cause of this prolonged bleeding and whether it will start again after I stop taking Provera. What could be the causes, and what further tests or treatments might be necessary?
