I have been taking combination pills for a while, but the timing last month was a bit off, though I have taken one every day. I had unprotected sex a day before my withdrawal bleeding was supposed to come, but it didn't. I took Plan B within 48 hours and had spotting on the same day. Does that mean Plan B worked? I still haven't gotten my withdrawal period yet. Is the irregularity new, and how old are you? When did your last period start and end? Have you experienced any recent changes in stress or weight? Is there anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

I believe I have a vaginal infection. It has been recurring for the last couple of weeks. My doctor prescribed clotrimazole, but it caused too much burning, so I stopped after three applications and switched to Canes Oral yesterday. I am 74 years old, a widow for the past three years with no sexual partners. I also have an underactive thyroid, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, all of which are being treated by my doctor. What can I do to treat and prevent this vaginal infection?

I have a small, pea-sized lump on my outer labia that is just below the surface of the skin. It feels hard but doesn't hurt unless I squeeze it. I noticed it two nights ago and it hasn't grown or changed in size. I'm concerned because I have no insurance and can't afford a doctor visit. What could this lump be, and how long should I wait before seeking medical attention if it doesn't go away?
