I have had extremely heavy periods for the last 3 months, with large clots and severe pain in the lower abdomen and sometimes back/hips. I had a baby 10 months ago and started using Nuvaring last month. My OB just tells me to take ibuprofen, but it isn't helping. What should I do?

Is it possible to get a pimple or a sebaceous cyst on the inner labia, where there are no hair follicles, and should I be concerned about infection or other serious conditions?

I had my tubes tied in November after my second child. From January to April, I had normal periods, but I am now 14 days late with a negative pregnancy test. I am not using any other contraceptives, and my last period began on April 1st. I had a normal pap test in January. I have experienced a little weight gain, headaches, acne, and clear vaginal discharge with no smell. My periods were always regular before this, and there has been no recent stress in my life. What could be causing my delayed period?

I had a positive pregnancy test result on days 31 and 32. Today is day 32 and I am bleeding. How long have you dealt with the bleeding? Have you experienced this in the past? When was your last pap test, and what were the results? Any swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I just got prescribed macrobid for a UTI and took the first dose at 2pm. I don’t want to wake up at 2am every day to take the second dose. Can I take it at 7am instead, which is 5 hours past the 12-hour mark, and then consistently take it at 7pm and 7am for the next 5 days? Will this affect the medication's effectiveness?
