I have a red lump near my clitoris without any pus or fluid. It appeared recently and is not painful. I also have occasional vulva itching and have used an anti-itch cream, which worked. What could this lump be and what self-care remedies can I try?

I am experiencing vaginal itching after having a tampon in for about 11 hours but have no other symptoms. What could this be?

I’m having itching at my vagina. I used Monistat today but I didn’t know if I should wait to see if that works or if I should get something stronger. The itchiness is pretty constant, not worse at certain times, and my skin looks normal. I have no other symptoms except sometimes slight urinary burning, and it's been going on for 3 days. I have known allergies to dairy, shellfish, and cephalosporins.

I have been experiencing irregular periods for a year, with periods lasting only one day. I do not use contraceptives, have no medications, and have a history of kidney stones and physical relationships for the past six months. I also experience occasional depression and very rare lower abdomen cramps. Can a physical relationship be the reason for this, and is there any medicine to tighten the vagina?

I had unprotected sex yesterday and am now experiencing heavy bleeding. I know the person and we both are clean, but I'm taking medication for a yeast infection and am scared due to the blood. I've been bleeding for 12 hours, which is longer than a previous occurrence that resolved the next day. My last pelvic exam was last week and everything was normal. I had an STI in the summer but have been clean since then. I have a condition called IBS and am not on blood thinners. There has been no bleeding from gums or in stools. The sex was lubricated but there was some pain, and I'm experiencing period-like cramps this morning. My periods are regular, every 28 to 30 days, and I'm on birth control to control my bleeding.

I have a yellowish green discharge with a foul smell. I also have mild discomfort in my lower abdomen. I had my period last week and experienced something abnormal, including passing sizable clots while wearing a tampon. What could be the cause of these symptoms and how can I address them?
