I had a tampon stuck in my vagina that I did not know about. It came out 4 days after my last day. Since then, I have had lower back pain and cramps. Is this related? I am 29 years old, have no vaginal discharge, no fever, and have never experienced this incident before. I haven't had a pap test or pelvic exam in almost 2 years, and I don't have insurance. My tubes and ovaries are good, and there is no blockage. I had sex while the tampon was in but didn't know it was there. Could I get pregnant in this situation?

Do you have pain, spotting, or any other symptoms related to the issue you need looked at?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as discharge, itching, burning in the pelvis area, pressure, cramp-like feelings, and swelling in the vulva area. I took boric acid, which seemed to worsen the symptoms, and I have also taken fluconazole without full relief. I have had elevated leukocytes in my urine but no nitrates, and I am concerned about the possibility of bacterial vaginosis or a vaginal yeast infection. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms and what steps I should take?

I'm 22 years old and think I might have an STD. I had unprotected sex in August/September, and since then, I've noticed bumps near my anus, clear milky discharge, small pimples on my inner labia, and a clear patch at the bottom of my vaginal opening. I also experience occasional vaginal itching, especially after physical activity. I used Monistat for a few days, which helped temporarily, but the symptoms returned. I felt two bumps near my cervix. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do?

I have been feeling moody and under the weather lately. Is it because my estrogen levels are low?

I recently got an IUD about 2 months ago, but I'm bleeding through my tampon in less than an hour. Has the bleeding been stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the bleeding or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
