I have brown discharge and I’m only on the end of my second week of birth control pills/beginning of third week. Today I noticed the discharge. It’s a little and it’s like regular discharge just brown. My last period started and ended on January 15-19. I have been taking the birth control pill for 4 months. I have a history of irregularity in periods in the last few months, but since I've been on the pill, I felt like the first few months I got brown discharge, last month I did not, now I am experiencing it again. There is a tiny bit of an odor, but no itching, redness, soreness, or swelling.

I have recently noticed scratches or marks on my vagina. I am 22 years old and not using any medications. I am concerned if this could be a sexually transmitted disease, even though I haven't been sexually active for a year. What could this be and how can it be treated?

Hello, last week my daughter was sick with a fever of 101°F and a cough. I took her to the ER, and they diagnosed her with a viral sickness (after a negative rapid COVID test). Now, I'm starting to feel sick with a temperature of 99.5°F and I'm 21 weeks pregnant. What temperature should I be concerned about?

I just found out I'm pregnant and have a wedding in 5 weeks. I'd like to lose 10 pounds safely. Is it possible and is it safe during pregnancy?

My period is 5 days late, and it had been inconsistent for a while. I stopped taking a certain medicine, and it was back on track for two months. This month, I was scheduled to start my period on the 2nd but still haven’t had it. I’ve taken tests before and it was never a pregnancy, so I didn’t want to go buy a test yet. When should I take a pregnancy test, and what other tests should I consider?

I think I may have a peptic ulcer. I have bad pain in my lower back and top of my abdomen, which tends to go away when I eat. I'm 23 years old and have tried ibuprofen for the pain, but no other medications. Should I go to a health clinic or the emergency room?
