I am a 40-year-old female trying to get pregnant. My period has lasted for 8 days this month, which is highly abnormal for me as my usual cycle is about 3 days. What could be causing this prolonged menstrual cycle?

I had a da Vinci surgery on March 29, where both ovaries and tubes were removed along with a cyst. A week later, I experienced severe pain under my right ribcage, which was managed with Percocet. I am still experiencing significant pain in the same area, especially when standing up, and cannot lay on either side. My doctor said I shouldn't be feeling pain this far out, but the pain is sometimes hard to stand up straight. How long should I expect this type of pain to last, and could it be due to a pinched nerve or other complications?

I have had a Bartholin cyst since December, which is not painful. In the past, I experienced painful Bartholin cysts that burst after taking antibiotics. Recently, I had slight pain during urination on the third day of my period after holding my urine for 20 minutes. Today, on the sixth day of my period, I am still experiencing spotting. What should I do about these issues?

I have been bleeding for almost a year and I am planning to start birth control but it says I shouldn’t take it if I have unexplained vaginal bleeding. Is there a way I’d be able to take birth control in order to treat the unexplained bleeding or should I just make a doctor’s appointment?
