I have been experiencing persistent itching and irritation in my vaginal area for over six months, along with a constant white, dry discharge. My family doctor has not been able to diagnose or cure the problem, and I am seeking advice on what could be causing this and how to treat it.

I had my period five days early this month and it lasted for five days instead of the usual three. My breasts have been tender and sore for almost a month, and I feel flutters in my lower left side of my stomach. I've been feeling extremely hungry even after eating a lot, and I've noticed my nipples are darker and have some white discharge. I took a pregnancy test from a dollar store which was negative. Could I be pregnant?

I am 4 days late on my period, experiencing abdominal cramping and fullness, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. I have taken negative pregnancy tests. What could be causing these symptoms?

I had a pap smear almost 2 years ago that came back with abnormal cells and a diagnosis of HPV. A colposcopy within a month was negative for HPV. Another pap 5 months ago was also negative for HPV but still showed abnormal cells. I have had the same monogamous partner for almost a year. Recently, while applying medication for a hemorrhoid, I noticed small white bumps near my anus. They don't hurt, itch, or burn. What could these bumps be?

I have been on the birth control pill BeYaz for 8 years and want to stop due to side effects and my partner's plan for a vasectomy. I'm concerned about potential withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, nausea, depression, mood swings, and jitters. How common are these side effects after stopping the pill, and what can I do to minimize them?
