I have been experiencing severe right-sided ovarian pain, painful periods, pain during sex in certain positions, and weight gain. I also feel a pulling or twisting sensation in my right ovary when I stand up. Could this be ovarian cancer or bowel issues? Where would this pain be felt?

Can an OB/GYN share statistics of a 4th c-section at age 37? Does it matter if the prior 3 babies were cut from the same scar?

I have breakthrough bleeding during menopause. I'm scared and have a scheduled gynecologist appointment for a routine checkup. I think the bleeding might be coming from the rectal area as well. I have a history of fibroids without any issues. Do I need to go to the emergency room?

I am 24 years old and married, and I am currently 21 days late for my period. My husband and I have not been trying for a baby. I have had three negative pregnancy tests. My annual women's health exam showed everything was normal, and the nurse practitioner attributed my missed period to stress, though I have not felt particularly stressed and have never missed a period before. I was on birth control pills and discontinued them in August/September 2008. I am otherwise very healthy and have not had any significant weight loss or exercise changes. Is there a chance that I could still be pregnant? I have heard of women being pregnant and their results not showing until several weeks in. Should I get a blood test done? My only symptoms have been occasional bloating, clear discharge around the time I was supposed to start my period, small bumps on my areolas, and one night of abdominal cramping. What could be causing me not to ovulate? Thank you.

I have very bad pain about 3 inches down from the pelvic area, middle to left. I am not sure if I left a tampon inside me. My husband checked but didn't feel anything. What are the signs of chlamydia or an STD, and what could be causing this pain?
