She has tried two different birth control pills and a hormone rod implant, but her periods remain heavy and constant. She also has generalized anxiety disorder, scoliosis, and acne.

I have been experiencing severe bladder pain since an appendectomy 3 weeks ago. I recently had a gush of bloody discharge after urinating. I have had a complete hysterectomy, so no female organs are present. The pain is sharp and achy. I am 36 years old and currently taking cylexa. What could be causing these symptoms and what treatment options are available?

I remove my Gellhorn pessary weekly and clean it myself with soapy water. It recently fell into the commode. Can I clean it with rubbing alcohol? I am 69 years old and have been wearing the pessary for about 8 years. I am not using any medications and have no other relevant medical history. Additionally, there is some bleeding. Can I put the pessary back in right away?

I had two positive pregnancy tests, one on Monday and a fainter one on Wednesday. However, on Friday, three tests were negative, and I started bleeding. Could this be a chemical pregnancy, and what should I do if the bleeding becomes prolonged or I experience pain?
