I had a C-section on December 10th. The area where the operation was performed has turned red and is slightly open. I was prescribed amoksiklav to prevent infection, but there has been no improvement. What can I do?

I have an IUD for birth control, and today after a mile walk, I experienced an irregular amount of blood discharge, followed by more blood, blood clots, and weird tissues later. I've had the IUD for 4 years, my last period began on March 10th, and my last pap test was a year ago with negative results. I'm concerned about a possible miscarriage. What could be going on and what should I do?

What should I look out for when taking Plan B, what are the side effects, and how do I know if it was effective, especially while on my period? I had unprotected sex due to a broken condom and I'm currently on my period. Is it worth taking Plan B?

I'm not on my period, but I keep seeing blood come from my vagina, especially during sex, even though my partner is very gentle. I recently had a UTI which I've cleared, and I'm on birth control (Tri-Lo-Mili, 0.25mg). My last period started on September 22 and lasted for about 5 days, but the bleeding has continued in a brownish form. I feel perfectly fine with no redness, bumps, sores, itchiness, discharge, or cramps. I am sexually active with one partner who tested negative for STDs. My last pregnancy test was a few weeks ago and it was negative. I haven't had a pap smear or STD screening yet. What could be causing this unusual bleeding and what should I do?

I am experiencing intermenstrual bleeding that has been going on for a week. I am 20 years old and usually have regular periods. This is not normal period blood; it's red/brown spotting that turns red when I wipe after peeing. I have no pain and have never had a pap test or pelvic exam. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I think I have an ovarian cyst rupturing and I’m in a lot of pain and feel dizzy. The pain started two days ago and keeps getting worse. It's located on my left side, in my back and front, around my ovary. The pain feels like a stabbing/squeezing pressure, and nothing is making it better. I'm also nauseous and lightheaded when I move. I'm 19 years old, on ibuprofen 600mg, an iron-fortified prenatal, and a blood pressure medication. I have endometriosis. What should I do?
