I have a vaginal tear that occurred due to sex, causing severe pain and a foul odor. I haven't bled from it, but there is a lump next to the tear. My discharge seems normal but has a strong smell. What should I do?

My boyfriend recently experienced a metallic/battery taste on my clitoris during oral sex, while my actual vagina does not have this taste. I am 24 years old, and this concern started about a week ago. I am not experiencing any abnormal discharge, itching, swelling, or soreness, and my last pap smear came back positive for HPV. I have been taking dietary supplements, birth control, a women's multivitamin, fiber, and a hair growth supplement, and I recently stopped taking AZO dual protection probiotic and prebiotic. I also took one boric acid vaginal suppository over a month ago. My last period ended on September 18. What could be causing this metallic taste, and is there anything I can do to lessen it?

I have irregular bleeding when I'm not on my period. I'm not using any contraceptives or medications, and I'm 20 years old. The bleeding has been occurring for a while and it's said to run in my family. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had unprotected sex several times after my last period on February 26th. I experienced pregnancy symptoms and took positive pregnancy tests, but now I'm bleeding and the tests are negative. Why am I not pregnant but still feel very nauseous?

I noticed a small bluish dot on my labia that looks like a tiny blood blister. It appeared suddenly and was not there the other day. I am 40 years old, healthy, and shave regularly. I had intercourse with my husband yesterday and noticed the dot last night. I am concerned about what it could be and if it could be related to shaving or intercourse.
