I have been experiencing irregular periods for about 8 months. I am 30 years old, do not use contraceptives, and my last period ended on February 28, 2022. I have gained weight and my last pap smear showed low-risk HPV. My periods have fluctuated between 30 to 80 days apart, and I have had some spotting recently. I have a history of fibroids, but they are not considered large enough to cause the irregularity. What could be causing my irregular periods and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and sometimes I feel like water is coming out of my vagina. I'm not sure if it's discharge or amniotic fluid. Sometimes it doesn't smell, and other times it smells acidic. There are days when my panties get really wet, and other days they don't get wet at all. Sometimes I feel a slight pain, like in my leg, and I pee a lot. What could this be?

Can I stop my birth control mid pack? The side effects are unbearable, including continuous bleeding for 11 days and severe mood swings. Is it safe to stop the pill immediately, and will it cause continued bleeding?

I've had discharge since I can remember and it has increased over time. Also, I've had an odor for about 2 weeks that I can't explain, and I took a home pH test that was a 5. I've never been pregnant and can't seem to get pregnant. Are these symptoms connected? And please explain.

I am a 69-year-old woman who has been absent from sexual intercourse for eight years. I use coconut oil nightly as a UTI preventative, but my vagina is very tight and dry, making intercourse painful. I have had breast cancer and understand that estrogen should be avoided. What over-the-counter products, supplements, or non-estrogen prescription options can help with my situation?
