I got my period last January 17 and started bleeding again recently. I took Plan B on January 27 or 28, and the bleeding was light at first but is now medium. I'm 20 years old, not using any medications, and my periods are usually regular but sometimes delayed by 2-3 days. I had unprotected sex after taking Plan B and am concerned about the bleeding and potential pregnancy. Should I be worried, and is there anything I can do to manage this situation?

I have had a yeast infection and was prescribed fluconazole, but I still have discharge and a smell. I have also used Monistat 7 suppositories, but the issue returns. What should I do now, and how can I manage this without insurance?

Can herbs such as raspberry leaf tea and shepherd's purse really help stop a heavy menstrual flow that is very heavy and has lasted for several days?

I noticed a large 'bump' on my right front collarbone three weeks ago, which is getting larger, sometimes aches, and is tender. I had a chest x-ray, a CT scan showing several nodules in my right breast, and a mammogram. My doctor says it's just cartilage, but I don't believe him and want to rule out breast cancer, bone cancer, and lymph glands. What should I do?

Every 15 days, my menstrual cycle starts and lasts 5 to 7 days. This has been consistently happening for 3 months now, but off and on for over a year. The periods are extremely painful, and the blood clots are between quarter and nickel size. I never had problems with my cycle being painful until after a miscarriage 5 years ago. Is this an urgent situation I should see my GYN about, and what are the possible causes and treatments for this condition?

I recently switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen to its generic version, and my hair has become incredibly greasy, worsening with each shower. Is this hair change related to the switch in birth control, and will it go away if I switch back?
