I have a cyst-like bump between the labia and vulva. It is tender to touch, with some redness in my groin area. I woke up with it yesterday, and the swelling and pain have increased since then. The cyst is firm and elongated, not round. I take birth control and am 28 years old. I had bacterial vaginosis (BV) about a month ago. What could this be, and what should I do?

I have been bleeding for over a week and a half, which isn't normal. The bleeding has been stable, and I am not using any medications specifically for the bleeding but do take medicine for other health issues. I am 38 years old and have a medical history of asthma, depression, migraines, allergies, endometriosis, and cervical cancer. What could be causing the prolonged bleeding, and what steps should I take?

I went to the ER today because of vaginal burning but no UTI. Can you interpret the results and help me understand if there's anything serious like cancer or if it's treatable?

I am on hormonal birth control and my period is 9 days late. I took a pregnancy test three days ago which was negative, but I have been experiencing nausea, fatigue, and some diarrhea. My appetite is inconsistent, and I have had some bloating. I take a hormonal birth control pill every morning and 24-hour release Zyrtec. I am 36 years old with one child and otherwise healthy. What could be causing my symptoms and what should I do next?

My 21-year-old daughter has a painful lump in her breast that feels like burning and needles. Should she get a mammogram, and who would be the best doctor for her to visit?
