I had a uterine biopsy on Tuesday. By Wednesday, I started having headaches, which worsened by Friday, leading me to go to the ER where a CAT scan found nothing. It is now Sunday, and I have an enlarged lymph node in the right groin area, along with ongoing headaches, shaking, chills, a temperature of 99.3, cramping, a pulling sensation in my right side, and tenderness. I also have a tender spot at the upper right labia majora, possibly an ingrown hair or a pimple, and I have HPV. My last menstruation period was a year ago, and the biopsy was done due to post-menopausal spotting. An ultrasound showed a large number of fibroids and a very small cyst on the left ovary. Is this swollen lymph node something that warrants a return to the ER, or is it something that can wait until I can get an appointment with my GYN?

If your pain is not significant, you do not need to go to the ER for the swollen lymph node. Instead...

I have white discharge that looks like little specs and no infection is that normal?

I am a 26-year-old female who has been on birth control pills for nearly 10 years. Recently, my periods have become heavier and more painful, and this month I have experienced light spotting but no full period. I am under significant stress due to recent life changes and a loss. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing these changes in my menstrual cycle, and should I be concerned?

I am 52 years old and experiencing irregular periods with heavy bleeding and clotting, possibly due to menopause. Should I go to the doctor while bleeding or wait?

I had unprotected sex on October 21, but I am on the Depo shot and have a large spleen. Could I still be pregnant?

I am not vigilant with my birth control and often miss doses. I took Ella as emergency contraception after unprotected sex, but I'm still concerned about pregnancy. Should I start my next set of birth control pills, and is there a risk of pregnancy despite taking Ella?
