I have been experiencing lower abdomen pain on and off since the end of January, which has been sporadic and mostly subsided. The pain sometimes goes across my stomach and into my vagina, and lower back pain started on the right side and now extends across the right side of my back. I have had a CT scan of the abdomen and a pelvic ultrasound, which showed an 8mm ovarian cyst. I am 71 years old and have hypothyroidism. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do about it?

I have a lot of dryness, itching, and irritation due to menopause surrounding my vagina. The itchiness has been constant lately, mainly at night. I have no known allergies and no other relevant medical history. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate it?

I've been experiencing heavy and prolonged bleeding since I received the Depo shot in April. The bleeding lasts for up to two weeks, stops for three days, and then starts again. I'm concerned and scared about potential cervical cancer. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and experiencing weird burning/pain/soreness under my breasts on both sides, especially in the morning and after eating. The pain goes away on its own sometimes, but taking Mylanta helps. I also have occasional back pain. Could this be related to gas, reflux, a stomach ulcer, pancreatitis, or something else? What signs and symptoms should I monitor for?

I have been experiencing light vaginal bleeding for a month now. The bleeding has been stable, and I took medication for a yeast infection two weeks ago. I am 27 years old, sexually active, and have been using an implant for contraception for 10 months. My weight is normal, and I have no history of cystic acne or hair loss. I have not had an ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries. After sex, I experience a burning feeling. What could be causing the bleeding, and is the burning sensation related to it?
