I feel like I pulled a muscle in my vagina, and it's very painful to walk. I've been to the emergency room twice, and while the first doctor said I had a UTI, the second doctor said I don't have a UTI but a pulled muscle. I also had a CT scan for my pelvis and buttocks. How long does it take for a pulled muscle to heal, and should I rest in bed or sit in a chair?

I have a strong itch outside the opening of my vaginal canal. I have white normal discharge and no odd smell. There are small red bumps but they don’t look like they are filled with fluid. Should I get tested for STDs?

My 12-year-old daughter has been on her menstrual cycle for over 2 weeks. She is experiencing a light period and is currently taking a multivitamin, a vitamin D supplement, and montelukast. She is also overweight at 185 pounds. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding and what should we do?

I have developed several hard, white, seed-type spots on the labia. I am a monogamous woman, 70 years of age with no sexual activity. These spots do not itch, burn or seep, but are annoying to me. I don't know whether to see my OB/GYN, my GP or seek a specialist. The condition began with one, however I now have 4-5 spots. What could it be? Cysts?

My doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong birth control pill, causing continuous bleeding. I was advised to take Provera to stop the bleeding but was told to avoid sun exposure and drinking. I have an upcoming trip where I will be in the sun the entire time, and I don't want to have my period during the trip. What can I do to stop the bleeding and manage my period for the trip?

I had the Mirena IUD inserted over a year ago with no complications. However, during my bimonthly check, I could only find one thread (usually there are two). Is it still working, and should I book an expensive appointment? I would like to avoid that as much as possible.
