I had a full laparoscopic hysterectomy in July 2022 due to endometrial cancer, diagnosed as Stage 1A, Grade 1. I had a clear 6-week check-up and recent pelvic ultrasound and transvaginal exam. However, I experienced light spotting tonight, five months post-surgery. Could this be a sign of recurrence, and what should I do?

The light spotting you experienced is likely due to an infection or the growth of granulation tissue...

I had a yeast infection and was prescribed Fluconazole and Metronidazole. My symptoms have resolved, but I am concerned if the infection is still present. Should I abstain from sex until after completing the medication?

Every time I have sex, I experience an urge to pee afterwards, which lasts for about an hour. I go to the bathroom but only a couple of drops come out. This is not a UTI as I've had one before and it's different. There's no stinging, just a constant annoying urge to pee. What can this be and how can I prevent it from happening?

I am taking Linessa 21 birth control pills. After finishing the first package, do I need additional protection during the 7-day break? If I take the pills regularly at the same time each day, do I still need condoms during the break? Are there any other situations that might lead to pregnancy even if I take the pills regularly? If I change the time I take the pills, do I need additional protection? If I stop taking the pills for a while and start again, can I use Linessa 21 instead of 28 for the first package, and how many days should I take to ensure safety without condoms?

I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms such as morning nausea, breast swelling, moodiness, and mild to moderate cramping in my lower abdomen, which feels like constipation. I am also having hot flashes and sweating, especially when stressed. I am concerned about whether these symptoms could indicate an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Additionally, I am currently reducing my intake of lorazepam and alcohol under my psychiatrist's guidance, and I am unsure if this is contributing to my symptoms. What should I do to manage these symptoms and ensure my pregnancy is progressing normally?

I stopped using birth control (injection) three months ago and switched to condoms for contraception. My last period ended on July 26 and was supposed to start again on August 16, but I had bleeding from August 6 to August 8. I took two pregnancy tests, both negative. I don't have signs of UTI or yeast infection. What could be causing this irregular bleeding?
