I have been bleeding for over a week and a half, which isn't normal. The bleeding has been stable, and I am not using any medications specifically for the bleeding but do take medicine for other health issues. I am 38 years old and have a medical history of asthma, depression, migraines, allergies, endometriosis, and cervical cancer. What could be causing the prolonged bleeding, and what steps should I take?

I went to the ER today because of vaginal burning but no UTI. Can you interpret the results and help me understand if there's anything serious like cancer or if it's treatable?

I have had Mirena for 7 months and have been experiencing nausea, black discharge, fatigue, and occasional cramps. I stopped getting my period a few months ago, and I had unprotected sex on the 14th. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I am on hormonal birth control and my period is 9 days late. I took a pregnancy test three days ago which was negative, but I have been experiencing nausea, fatigue, and some diarrhea. My appetite is inconsistent, and I have had some bloating. I take a hormonal birth control pill every morning and 24-hour release Zyrtec. I am 36 years old with one child and otherwise healthy. What could be causing my symptoms and what should I do next?

My 21-year-old daughter has a painful lump in her breast that feels like burning and needles. Should she get a mammogram, and who would be the best doctor for her to visit?

I have an IUD (Liletta) that has been in place for 4 years. I've been experiencing prolonged bleeding for 3 weeks, with frequent spotting and now the blood looks 'mooshy'. I also have mild cramps and fatigue. My IUD was noted to be lower than it should be during my last OB/GYN visit in November. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
