I have excruciating period pain that has been causing me to scream and cry in pain for years. The pain is localized in my lower stomach/stomach area and is very sharp and stabbing. I'm 19 years old and have tried Tylenol, Aleve, and Advil, but none provide consistent relief. My periods are decently regular, sometimes starting a few days early or late, and the pain starts a day before bleeding and increases significantly on the first day of bleeding. I occasionally have spotting after intercourse and experience pain during intercourse only at certain angles. What could be causing this pain and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I thought my period was coming on and it’s a couple of days early and it’s really light, barely there, and brown and doesn’t smell or look like period blood. What does this mean?

I have been experiencing tender breasts, cramping on one side, fatigue, and headaches for a few days. My period is not due until April 30th, but I noticed a pink discharge when I wiped. My last period was April 2nd, and my cycle is regular. I am not on any birth control and have been sexually active during my fertile window from April 9th to 19th. I have not noticed any changes in diet, weight, or medications, but I have been eating more than usual and feeling hungrier. What could these symptoms mean?

I had anal intercourse and took an emergency contraceptive pill within 12 hours. I am concerned about the possibility of pregnancy if semen from the anus gets into the vagina. What are the chances of getting pregnant, and is the emergency contraceptive pill effective in this situation?

I’ve developed a painful burning sensation on the right side of my vaginal lip over the last 24 hours, which feels like a cut and worsens with walking or pressure. Ice packs and Advil help. What could it be and what self-care remedies can I try?
