My period is currently late by about 8 days, and I don't know how concerned I should be. I am 19 years old, have had irregular periods in the past, and have had unprotected sex recently. What could be causing my late period, and what steps should I take to determine the cause?

I am experiencing spotting between periods, which is unusual for me as I usually have heavy bleeding. My last period was from 04/19 to 4/21 and was very light. I have a history of irregular periods and had a similar issue 1-2 years ago that resolved on its own. I am not using any contraceptives, not sexually active, and not taking any hormone pills. I had an ultrasound that showed my endometrium was thicker than normal. What could be causing this spotting, and what should I do?

I often suffer from vaginal itching and discomfort, which sometimes leads to pain after itching. I've been to doctors who said it's nothing serious, but I used to get UTIs a lot and have had yeast infections. I'm worried about being sexually active soon. What could be causing this discomfort, and what can I do to manage it?

I'm experiencing symptoms such as nausea, lower back pain, cramps on my lower right side, severe headaches, frequent urination, and light spotting with brown discharge. I'm unsure if I'm pregnant, as I've taken pregnancy tests with a faint line indicating possible pregnancy. My last period was July 19th-July 23rd, and I haven't had a pap test or pelvic exam since September 2018. What could these symptoms mean, and should I be concerned about the spotting and brown discharge?

I'm experiencing unusual vaginal odor and discharge that is not clear, which I've never had before. I'm 30 years old, have had this concern for about a month or two, and I have genital herpes. I'm sexually active with only one partner and have some redness but not much itchiness. What could be causing this and what should I do?
