I have been experiencing sharp, stabbing pain in my lower abdomen, specifically where my right ovary used to be, for the past one to two months. I have had a hysterectomy, so I no longer have my uterus or ovaries. The pain was not consistent until a month ago. I was diagnosed with gallstones and kidney stones a month ago but am not experiencing issues with urination. Before my hysterectomy, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and interstitial cystitis. Can these conditions still be causing issues even though I no longer have my ovaries or uterus?

The pain you're experiencing is likely not related to any remaining female reproductive organs since...

I have had a partial hysterectomy and am experiencing vaginal bleeding when I wipe. I haven't had a pap test or pelvic exam in a long time, and my doctor said I don't need one. I have one ovary left with large polyps, and I'm going through menopause. What should I do?

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing diarrhea for a couple of days, along with some upper abdominal cramping and bloating. I'm not sure if it's due to my diet or something else. Should I be concerned and see my doctor?

For the past 15 years, every time I get sexually stimulated, either from a partner or through self-stimulation, I experience severe lower abdominal cramping that forces me to stop due to intense pain, which subsides after about 5 to 10 minutes. This happens consistently at the onset of sexual stimulation. My gynecologist suggested taking Advil before sex, but this does not work and I don't believe it's a solution. What could be causing this problem and what can I do about it?

I had a Pap smear done and it came back normal, but I tested positive for HPV16. My GP removed the two small genital warts I had and advised me to do a Pap smear every year to ensure no changes. What would you suggest?

What is this bump on my vagina? I never noticed it before and I’m not sure if it’s normal or not.
