I have been bleeding since the day after I had sex, and the pains are unbearable. I am also on birth control. The pain is localized in my stomach and is sharp, causing me to stop whatever I'm doing until it goes away. I am currently using Ibuprofen and I am 18 years old. Is this normal, and what should I do?

I recently got off my period two days ago and have noticed a strong, sour odor that hasn't gone away after washing and changing underwear multiple times a day. I was tested for infections and STDs three weeks ago, all tests came back negative. I have endometriosis and had chlamydia five years ago. What could be causing this odor and what can I do about it?

I’ve been experiencing a persistent, stable, and constant fishy odor from my vaginal area for about 3 months. I’ve tried using boric acid, which helps temporarily, but the odor returns. I am 19 years old, have no other medical conditions, and am not taking any medications. There is a small amount of thicker discharge, but no itching, burning, pain, swelling, changes in temperature, abdominal pain, or urinary issues. What could be causing this odor, and what can I do to resolve it?

I'm 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant and am experiencing some bleeding. I have not had bleeding before during this pregnancy, and everything has felt fine so far. I feel a bit bloated and full. I take no medications, exercise regularly 5-6 times per week, and commute by bicycle, totaling approximately 11 miles a day. This is my first pregnancy. Do you have any advice?

I'm having vaginal pain during sex with my partner. The pain started when he put his penis in me and has been declining since he took it out. The pain is dull and aches, feeling like sandpaper. My partner is 23 years old and is not using any medications. I have had four partners in the last 3-4 months and have not had an STD screen. What could be causing the pain and what should I do?
