I had a biopsy for suspected lichen sclerosis, which came back as inflammation but negative for lichen sclerosis. I have been experiencing severe pain, redness, and occasional open areas in the anal area. I have tried steroid cream and nortriptyline for pain, but with minimal effect. What could this be, and what are the possible treatment options?

My 20-year-old daughter is experiencing light bleeding mid-cycle, which started on day 11 of her regular cycle after recovering from a stomach virus. This has not happened before. Is this normal, and what could be the cause?

I'm a smoking alcoholic concerned about a possible pregnancy due to an inconclusive pregnancy test. I had the implanon removed in October and haven't had a period since. I'm feeling unwell, my breasts hurt, and I've been sleeping excessively. I'm in counseling and booked for detox on Monday. Is it possible to get a pregnancy test delivered tonight, or should I wait until tomorrow to find an open doctor?

I am experiencing an ache in my vagina, similar to the feeling after childbirth but less severe. The ache comes and goes, starting off more painful but infrequent, and now occurring more often but less painful. The ache is lower than the abdomen, near the birth canal, and is not sensitive. My periods are regular, with normal bleeding, and I have no spotting in between. I have never been diagnosed with fibroids and have had normal pap smears since a laser treatment for pre-cancer cells and polyps/wart virus when I was 19. What could be causing this ache, and what should I do?
