I have been experiencing abnormal bleeding for over a week, which started light and then got heavier, with cramps mainly in my ovaries. I normally have regular periods that last no longer than 4 days. I am 26 years old, sexually active, and not using any contraceptives. My last pap test was two years ago when I was pregnant, and it came back abnormal, but they said that's common in pregnant women. I have no other significant medical history.

Every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I get a BV infection with yellow discharge. I haven't had sex in 6 months and tested negative for BV during that time. I recently started sleeping with him again and the issue began. I've been using boric acid to clear the discharge, but it comes back. How do I stop getting BV infections after sex?

I have a rectal prolapse and I’m afraid I might have a vaginal prolapse. How can I check for that myself, and what should I do if I think it’s getting worse after two years?

Can a boric acid suppository taken 4 days prior to a yeast/BV test interfere with the test results, and how long should I wait after using a boric acid suppository to get reliable test results?

I have been experiencing swelling in my face and breasts, a very abnormal and short menstrual cycle, nausea, moodiness, and abdominal swelling with vaginal pressure. I have the Paragard IUD and feel like I might be pregnant. What are the chances I am, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I have had period symptoms but no period, and they've been late for 3 days. My last period began on February 12, and I am not on any contraceptives or medications, only taking vitamins. I haven't been sexually active, so I know I'm not pregnant. I'm 23 years old, generally have regular periods, and have been experiencing anxiety and abdominal cramps. I also have vaginal itching and swelling, with a white/light yellow discharge but no strong odor. What could be causing this and what should I do?
