I have had my period since the end of February and it has not stopped. The longest I went without using tampons or pads was about 8 days. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 31 years old. My last gynecological exam was about 2 months ago, and the results were fine. However, I am still bleeding heavily and have occasional lower stomach pain. I am scared that this continuous bleeding could be life-threatening or affect my ability to have children. What should I do?

My girlfriend and I recently had sex. I used a condom but it broke. Soon after it broke, I replaced it. I hadn't cum yet. The next evening we bought the Plan B pill. Is there any chance that she is pregnant?

If you go to an OBGYN and the wet mount comes back negative for yeast, can you still have a yeast infection? How long does it take for the swab culture result to come back for a yeast infection? Could antibiotics like Ceftriaxone and Doxycycline cause a yeast infection in a few days, even after a negative wet mount result?

I am a 45-year-old woman who had an ablation at 40. I have a higher risk for clots and take Eliquis. I haven't had a real period in over 2 years, only occasional pink discharge. Do I still need to continue taking the mini pill for birth control, and can I have a test to determine if I am done with menopause?

I need a gynecologist to explain my ultrasound results to me. The impression from the ultrasound states: 'New bulky rounded echogenic material epicentered over expected location of fundal endometrium. Abnormal endometrial thickening (hyperplasia/dysplasia or potential malignancy not excluded).' I have been experiencing heavy periods with clotting, pelvic pains, and shorter ovulation periods, leading to iron deficiency. My family doctor won't give me a specific answer, and I have been waiting to be referred to a specialist for a biopsy. The endometrial tissue measures up to 2.9 cm, and the uterus is described as bulky and heterogeneous, measuring up to 13 cm in length and 7x6 cm in transverse. What could these findings mean, and what should be the next steps?

I have been experiencing tingling sensations around my anus and inner thigh for the last two weeks, which come and go. I am sexually active and had an encounter on November 21, which included protected intercourse and body-to-body contact. I noticed a small cut on my testicles after the encounter and have had occasional diarrhea and frequent urination urges since then. I am concerned if this could be related to an STD, specifically herpes.
