I had my first genital herpes outbreak over a month ago and since then, I've had a persistent sore near the opening of my vagina that causes pain during sex. The pain is more achey/dull and similar to a rug burn sensation. I'm 24 years old and currently taking birth control and Effexor XR for depression. During the outbreak, I also had yeast and bacterial vaginosis infections, for which I took medication. The sore only bothers me during sex and seems to get worse with consistent rubbing. What could this issue be and how can I heal it?

I am currently 14 weeks pregnant and randomly started bleeding about 15 minutes ago. I have only experienced implantation bleeding before and my pregnancy has been healthy so far. I take Prochlorperazine and Cephalexin as prescribed by my doctor and exercise about once a week. The bleeding was a gush of blood when I stood up, like a full period but without clots, and the toilet water was completely red. I have not had intercourse and am not experiencing any pain or cramping. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should I do?

I had really painful sex last night with my long-term boyfriend, and just now, I had the biggest chunk come out of me. The pain was deep in the vagina but not in the uterus, and it was sharp and stabbing. I'm 24 years old, take tri-lo-marzia tablets as birth control, naproxen for period cramps, and seroquel for sleep. The chunk was the size of a quarter or a little bigger and was solid, not like uterine lining. I'm not on my period and don't get it until next week. For the past month-month and a half, my right ovary/fallopian tube has been hurting really bad in a sharp way. I flushed the chunk when it happened during a bowel movement, and now I'm bleeding slightly with faint pink blood. Should I be concerned, and should I see a doctor sooner than my scheduled pap in August?

I'm 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant (due date 04/09), but today I had a brief sonogram and was measuring 13 weeks and 2 days. The doctor said the baby was moving a lot, but with my previous miscarriage, I was measuring 5 days behind. This was my 5th or 6th ultrasound, and for the most part, the baby has always measured the same. Did my baby stop growing?

I have been bleeding with big dark blood clots for almost 2 months straight. It has gotten to the point that I am bleeding through everything. My doctor said she needs to do a saline ultrasound but is taking forever to schedule. The bleeding has been getting worse, and I am experiencing severe fatigue and cramps. I am 51 years old, and my normal cycle never lasted more than 3 days and was light flow. What could be causing this and what should I do?
