I had an IUD (Liletta) placed after an abortion in 2021. Recently, I've been experiencing abnormal cramps and heavy bleeding, and I can't locate the strings of the IUD. Should I take a home pregnancy test, and should I schedule an in-person appointment with a gynecologist to check the IUD's placement?

I am not pregnant, but I observed milky substance coming out from both nipples. I am 33 years old, take antidepressants for the past 3 weeks, and had my last period 8 days ago. I have no other symptoms like pain, swelling, dizziness, or fever. What could be causing this milky discharge, and what should I do?

I've been on birth control for 6-7 months, never missed a pill, and always take it at the same time. I occasionally spot, especially after starting a new workout routine and taking amoxicillin for an infection. I'm sexually active and took a negative pregnancy test. Is this spotting normal, and what could be causing it?

I have been bleeding for a week now, not during my period and I'm not pregnant. The bleeding is getting worse and has been happening after my period for the past two months. I'm 21 years old, not using any contraceptives or medications, and have had one sexual partner recently. I have abdominal cramps on my left side but no fever, urinary symptoms, or STDs. What could be causing this irregular bleeding and what should I do?

I have a vaginal tear that occurred due to sex, causing severe pain and a foul odor. I haven't bled from it, but there is a lump next to the tear. My discharge seems normal but has a strong smell. What should I do?

My boyfriend recently experienced a metallic/battery taste on my clitoris during oral sex, while my actual vagina does not have this taste. I am 24 years old, and this concern started about a week ago. I am not experiencing any abnormal discharge, itching, swelling, or soreness, and my last pap smear came back positive for HPV. I have been taking dietary supplements, birth control, a women's multivitamin, fiber, and a hair growth supplement, and I recently stopped taking AZO dual protection probiotic and prebiotic. I also took one boric acid vaginal suppository over a month ago. My last period ended on September 18. What could be causing this metallic taste, and is there anything I can do to lessen it?
