I have a few questions about my menstrual cycle. This past month, my period was almost a week late, and I experienced lightheadedness a few days before it started. I also suffer from menstrual-related migraines that occur almost every month right after my period ends, sometimes lingering for a few days, and I occasionally feel fatigued for a week after my period. Additionally, I have a sensitive stomach and take naproxen around my period. I'm not on birth control. What can cause these symptoms, and is it normal to feel lightheaded and fatigued after my period ends?

I have missed my period and have been experiencing nausea daily and randomly throughout the day, but a pregnancy test was negative. I am not using any contraceptives. I have been dealing with the nausea for a week. My last pap test was in April with normal results, and there are no signs of swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells. I had a baby in March, and three weeks ago, I had a very heavy period that required a hospital visit due to excessive blood loss. What could be causing these symptoms?

Can you have severe right side pain at the onset of your period, and is it too soon to be peri-menopausal at age 44?

I had the Paraguard IUD removed due to severe back pain, and I started a combination pill. After stopping the pill for 4 days and restarting, my back pain returned. I'm concerned if this is related to hormone fluctuations or if there's another underlying issue, such as endometriosis. What should I do to manage the pain and ensure it doesn't affect future pregnancies?

I had a test for yeast infections at the doctor's office, and the doctor saw yeast under the microscope, but the culture came back negative. I have been dealing with what I believed to be a recurring yeast infection for over a year now. I have had symptoms like itching, burning, and some discharge. Why might the culture test be negative when the microscopic examination showed yeast, and could I still have a yeast infection?

My wife, who is 45 years old, has been experiencing excessive bleeding during her period for the last 3 weeks. She has had a normal period before this, but now her haemoglobin is low, and she has received a blood transfusion. The hospital is suggesting a D&C (Dilation and Curettage) procedure. Is this procedure really necessary, and will it cure the problem permanently? She had a similar issue a year ago that was resolved with birth control pills.
