I have been struggling with acne and vaginal discomfort for over a year, which I never experienced before and came very much out of the blue. I have tried all sorts of holistic advice, including cutting gluten and dairy from my diet, with no improvement. I am 24 years old, wash my face twice a day with a gentle face wash soap, use a mild day cream, and wear no makeup. My acne is both cystic and blackheads, mostly on my chin, jawline, and cheeks. Four years ago, I received a high amount of antibiotics for a year due to Lyme disease. What advice do you have?

I had a D&C, uterine ablation, and a tubal ligation 3 years ago and I haven't had a period since, but I have started cramping rather badly with some bleeding. Is that normal?

Is there anything I could use to potentially see my period back after going into menopause at age 47? What medication do you recommend, and can I get it in the Caribbean or buy it without a prescription in Antigua?

I had a regular period lasting five days, followed by spotting five days later that lasted only one day. My periods have always been regular, and the only other time I had spotting was during my first pregnancy. I took an ovulation test that came back positive. Why would I spot five days after my period, and what does a positive ovulation test mean for my chances of pregnancy?

I am a 49-year-old female who had a partial hysterectomy and still has my ovaries. I am experiencing severe hot flashes, especially after eating, and other symptoms of perimenopause. My blood work showed good results, but I am concerned about my hormone levels and need to know if there is anything I can do to alleviate these symptoms. I have tried Black Cohosh, which caused severe headaches, and have started vitamin E supplements, juicing, collagen, CBD oil, and daily gym visits. How can I find out if I'm missing progesterone or need estrogen? Can HGH be used to help, and can it be prescribed?

I just received my pap results from an exam I had one year ago, which indicated 'atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-H), cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.' I had another pap test with the same results and am now scheduled for a colposcopy. I am worried and confused about whether this means I have cancer, especially since the results were the same a year apart. What does this mean, and what should I expect from the colposcopy?
