I had my period a week ago and I am still bleeding. I am 43 years old, do not use contraceptives, and this irregularity is new. My last period started and ended on September 6-11, but I started bleeding again on September 13 with small blood clots. I have been experiencing light bleeding since then and also dealing with night sweats. My periods are generally regular, and I have not experienced mood swings or frequent urination. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding?

I have brownish yellow and greenish yellow discharge, and I noticed small sesame seed-like particles in my urine coming from my vagina. The discharge started a month ago before my period and has a slight odor and mucusy texture. I have high prolactin and a pituitary adenoma, for which I take Cabergoline. My last period started on March 2 and ended on March 7. I also noticed white mucus-like particles in my urine and had clear mucus discharge before the current discharge. What could this be, and is it serious?

I have PCOS and have been bleeding for close to 40 days, some days light and others heavy. I've taken birth control pills for the last month to regulate my hormones. Is it possible I could be pregnant, and what are the best methods for trying to conceive given that my hormone levels appear normal and my main problem is not ovulating naturally?

I have a small but painful red lump on my labia. I first noticed it yesterday. It only hurts when something is touching it and the pain is sharp. I am currently using Ibuprofen and took Valacyclovir because I thought it was the beginning of an outbreak. I have a medical history of HSV-1. What could this lump be and how should I treat it?

I ordered Northedrine to delay my period and I’m nervous that it’ll affect me. How can I know if I am okay to take the pills or not?

I have a boil on my inner labia close to the clitoris that won't heal. I squeezed it, and only blood came out. The skin keeps re-healing, but the bump never goes down. I use Polysporin. What could this be, and what should I do?
