I have been experiencing pain during sex, specifically at the beginning, for about a month. The pain is inside my vagina and I'm not sure how to describe it. I haven't used any medications for the pain as it only occurs at the beginning of intercourse. I am 23 years old and have been on birth control since I was 16. I've never had this issue before and have been with the same partner for months with no issues until now. Sometimes, I have very light bleeding after sex and occasionally experience itching and discharge. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?

I skipped my period and had very little spotting. All pregnancy tests came back negative, and I still don't have my period. I am not using contraceptives, and my period has been on time. My last period started on October 1st and ended on October 7th. I have slight stomach pinches, no vaginal discharge, and no dizziness. I have a history of bladder incontinence and UTIs, and I have to pee more frequently if I drink water. I am 29 years old, never been pregnant, and have noticed normal PMS symptoms like breast tenderness. I do feel tired because I work full time, but no nausea. There have been no recent weight changes, changes in exercise routine or diet, or excessive stress.

I have a sudden lump on my vulva, inner labia. It is very painful, and there appears to be a dark spot on the surface of the skin where the lump is. Is it possible that it is still a bartholin cyst, and what type of pain is it? Is there any redness, and can you share a picture of it?

I have been experiencing burning sensations in my vagina and frequent urination for the past three weeks. I have been treated for both a bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection, but the symptoms persist. I am currently on antibiotics for a presumed urinary infection, but the tests have been invalid due to the antibiotics I'm taking. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to alleviate the pain and burning?

Should I take any pregnancy tests or STD tests for good measure?

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and experiencing soreness around my belly button, which looks slightly bruised. The pain is sharp and located on the right side of my belly button, sometimes extending up under my bra line. I have no other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or fever. There's just a little discharge, no bloating or gas, and no sudden or excessive weight gain. I haven't had any previous surgeries or medical conditions related to my abdomen or belly button. What could be causing this pain?
