I have a large uterine fibroid (12.3cm) and am scheduled for surgery. I have breast symptoms such as lumpiness and asymmetry in the areolar area of my right breast, which persist after my menstrual cycle. My Pap test was negative. Given my family history of uterine cancer (my maternal grandmother) and the absence of breast cancer in my family, I am concerned about my risk of uterine cancer and the relationship between my fibroid and breast symptoms. What should my concerns be, and what screenings or diagnostics should I undergo?

I noticed a blister/pimple in my vagina, which is not causing pain but I can feel it. I am 27 years old and have not had any recent pap tests or pelvic exams. I had herpes a few years ago. What could this pimple be and what should I do about it?

I experienced a heavy period after not having one for three months, which stopped after two days. I am 19 years old, take medication for BPD, and have a recurring cyst outside my vagina. What could be causing this irregularity, and what steps should I take?

I took a pregnancy test and the first one came back negative, then I took one right after and it came up positive. I'm on an IUD and haven't had a period for 4 years. I was feeling nauseous and took the test an hour ago. What kind of pregnancy test should I use, and should I be concerned about the positive result?

Why am I spotting and bleeding after ovulation? I'm 21 years old, my last period was June 15-20th, and I started spotting on July 11th. I have gained some weight recently but no stress. The bleeding was somewhat heavy for two days but only when I wiped, and it went from spotting to bleeding back to spotting in the same day. I also have breast tenderness and light cramping on the left side. I was hoping I was pregnant because that is my goal, and I had sex during ovulation. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is it a hormonal imbalance?

I tested positive on two pregnancy tests last weekend, but I've been experiencing brown blood for a few days followed by red bleeding and cramping. An ultrasound showed no sac. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
