I have been bleeding between my periods for a couple of months with severe pain during my cycle. The bleeding between periods is light and constant, with no pain. During my cycle, I pass clots. The pain is localized in my abdomen and back, feeling like someone is twisting my abdomen, and I experience nausea and bloating when the cramps worsen. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am not sure if I swallowed my birth control pill this morning as it might have gotten lost in my drink. Should I take another pill from the same day of the next pack to double up on birth control for safety, or should I not take another one? And how many pills do I take tomorrow?

I've been experiencing yellowish discharge and a weird odor from my vagina for about 3 weeks. The discharge is constant and has a medium texture. My periods are regular, and I had my last one 29 days ago. I am sexually active, having had oral sex with one partner in the past 3 months, but I don't have any unusual cramps, itchiness, or other symptoms. I've never had an STD screen or been diagnosed with an STD. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I went to the ER 4 days ago with severe back pain, nausea, and fatigue during my first menstrual period after stopping birth control. The doctor gave me morphine, zofran, and tramadol. I then visited my OB-GYN who prescribed Loestrin 24. For two days, I was bedridden but pain-free, though dizzy, tired, and vomiting. I took zofran to alleviate these symptoms. My period has stopped, but I still feel unwell. Why am I still experiencing dizziness, fatigue, and stomach pain, and could it be related to my hormones?

I have not had a period for 12 months and recently noticed a thin line of black in my underwear. I am 53 years old, had my last period in 2020, and was recently diagnosed with a fibroid. My mother had ovarian cancer at 38. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am COVID-positive and my last period was from the 18th to the 22nd of this month. Today, I started spotting, which is unusual for me. I have a copper IUD and have experienced spotting before, especially after intercourse. I also have some stomach soreness due to persistent coughing but no dizziness or vaginal discharge. What could be causing the spotting, and should I be concerned?
