I got my period 5 days early this week, on day 25 instead of the usual 30-32 day range. It started with watery discharge with a tinge of blood, followed by passing dark brown clots that were gummy and stuck together. Today, the blood texture is more normal but I'm still passing some clots and feeling shaky and weak. I'm 18 years old, on Accutane, and have never been sexually active. What could be causing this unusual period and should I be concerned?

I didn't have my period last month. My last period was from June 5th to 10th. I'm 21 years old, not using any contraceptives or medications, and my menstrual cycle is usually 29 days. I've had cramps and tender breasts, and I've had sex recently. I've taken pregnancy tests but they've all been negative. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have thick cream-colored discharge and pimple-like bumps on my vagina. It started last week when I had COVID-19, and it's been pretty constant. I'm also super itchy. What color is the discharge? Is there a noticeable odor to it? I never get my period due to having the Marina IUD. Should I be concerned about an STD or could it just be a yeast infection?

After my menstrual cycle ends, I suffer from body pain, fever, chills, throat tightness, and overall weakness. This has been happening for four years and occurs premenstrually or postmenstrually. My period is regular and lasts five days, with the symptoms lasting for 3 to 4 days. I take Tylenol when pain occurs, but it only provides temporary relief. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to manage them?

I have been experiencing milky white discharge with a noticeable odor for about 3 months, and I recently had sex with someone who has greenish yellow discharge. I had trichomoniasis during my pregnancy, and I'm concerned it could be an STD. What could be causing this discharge, and what should I do?
