I took a 2-year break from sex and now, if I have sex a week before or right when my pill cycle ends, I bleed. I was told by my OBGYN that this could be due to the break causing my cervical wall to develop grooves. I am using birth control pills and have no STDs. Is this normal, and should I use a dildo in between sex to get my body used to it again?

I am a 58-year-old woman who experienced light vaginal bleeding after not having a period since May 2009. I am not using contraceptives, have a history of hypertension and depression, am pre-diabetic, and have scoliosis. I also recently had Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated. Should I be worried about the bleeding, and what should I do?

I am experiencing an itchy feeling in my vagina, which is painful when peeing. The pain started 3 days ago and is constant. I have a brownish, smelly discharge and feel cuts. I am 26 years old, have an Implanon contraceptive, and an 18-month-old baby. What could this be and how can it be treated?

I found a small, hard lump in my breast a few days ago. I am 27 years old, have no other symptoms, and no medications. My mother has a history of sarcoma diagnosed last year. I am due to have my periods in 3-4 days and want to delay them by 5 days. What should I do about these concerns?

I've been experiencing an annoying itching/tickling/tingling sensation behind just my right nipple for the past 2-3 months. No other symptoms seem to be there. I go in for a mammogram with ultrasound in a few weeks. Have you heard of this before?
