I have a Mirena hormonal IUD that was inserted in February 2019. I recently had a full-body x-ray and noticed that my IUD appeared off-center in the image. I have also experienced some stomach pain over the last week, which usually subsides within an hour after meals. I am not currently sexually active and not on any medications other than a few herbal supplements. Should I be concerned about the IUD's position, and is the stomach pain related to it?

The IUD should be in place, and the position seen in the x-ray can still be within the uterus on one...

My menstrual cycle has been irregular for a while now, and my last cycle was on December 20. I am 22 years old and not using any medications. I am concerned about whether I could be pregnant and, if so, how many weeks along I might be. What are the possible reasons for my irregular cycle and what tests or examinations should I undergo to determine the cause?

Is this a hemorrhoid or something serious?

After sex, I get little tiny cuts under my vagina opening and above my anus. They heal quickly but cause mild pain and itching. I sometimes experience vaginal dryness during sex, which seems to worsen the issue. What could be causing these cuts and how can I address the problem?

I am 4.5 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing light-brown discharge for the last two days. I had a previous missed miscarriage last year which started with brown discharge, and I am concerned. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

When should I start being concerned about my period not coming on when it should? It’s 5 days late, and it has never been this late. When is it concerning? I am fully a virgin, and have never had sex before.
