I have a hormonal imbalance and am gaining a lot of weight because of it. I am 23 years old and this has been a concern since April 2020. I had an abortion in March 2020 and started gaining weight after getting an IUD, which I had removed last year. I have irregular periods, acne on my face and vagina, and sometimes lower stomach pain. I am not using any medications and have no known allergies. What can I do to control this hormonal imbalance and weight gain?

I've been experiencing irregular vaginal spotting for two months, which isn't like my normal period flow but requires wearing a pad. I'm 17 and sexually active, but not pregnant. How do I know if this is my period or something else, and what should I do about it?

My wife hasn't felt the baby move since yesterday night, it's been almost 24 hours. She is 25 weeks pregnant and has also been feeling cramps for about 4-5 hours now, which are getting better. She has had cramps occasionally during this pregnancy, and the level of cramping has been constant. She is 28 years old and not using any medication. What should we do?

I'm experiencing cramping and abnormal amounts of discharge. My last period was last month, and I have an IUD, making my periods irregular. I'm currently taking Lexapro and Advil as needed for cramps. I'm 19 years old with no significant medical history. What could be causing these symptoms?

I think I have a uterine prolapse. I've been concerned about it for a year, but was told it was my normal anatomy. I have symptoms like cramping, pelvic pain, urinating when coughing or sneezing, fullness in my pelvis/lower belly, frequently urinating, and feeling like I have to pee but nothing comes out. I also have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have two children, both delivered vaginally. Yesterday, I experienced a popping sensation in my vagina followed by intense painful cramps and couldn't walk without pain. I have a picture that suggests something is not right. What should I do?

For the past 2-3 weeks, my vagina/vulva area has been super dry and itchy with no discharge or smell. I was on antibiotics around November 29th and recently started a new medication for my rheumatoid arthritis, sulfasalazine. Could these factors cause yeast infection symptoms now, and what should I do about the itchiness and dryness?
