I had a tampon stuck in my vagina that I did not know about. It came out 4 days after my last day. Since then, I have had lower back pain and cramps. Is this related? I am 29 years old, have no vaginal discharge, no fever, and have never experienced this incident before. I haven't had a pap test or pelvic exam in almost 2 years, and I don't have insurance. My tubes and ovaries are good, and there is no blockage. I had sex while the tampon was in but didn't know it was there. Could I get pregnant in this situation?

Do you have pain, spotting, or any other symptoms related to the issue you need looked at?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as discharge, itching, burning in the pelvis area, pressure, cramp-like feelings, and swelling in the vulva area. I took boric acid, which seemed to worsen the symptoms, and I have also taken fluconazole without full relief. I have had elevated leukocytes in my urine but no nitrates, and I am concerned about the possibility of bacterial vaginosis or a vaginal yeast infection. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms and what steps I should take?

I'm 22 years old and think I might have an STD. I had unprotected sex in August/September, and since then, I've noticed bumps near my anus, clear milky discharge, small pimples on my inner labia, and a clear patch at the bottom of my vaginal opening. I also experience occasional vaginal itching, especially after physical activity. I used Monistat for a few days, which helped temporarily, but the symptoms returned. I felt two bumps near my cervix. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do?

I have been feeling moody and under the weather lately. Is it because my estrogen levels are low?
