I have left-sided pelvic pain that is sharp and stabbing. I am on my period but it's definitely not that type of pain. I have had it for three days and tried ibuprofen the first day but it didn't work. I have no appendix or gallbladder. I am also starting to feel nauseous. I have a history of endometriosis (removed once), ovarian cysts, asthma, and I am a diabetic on oral medications. I am 40 years old with mostly regular cycles and not sexually active. What could be causing this pain, and do I need to go to the hospital to get checked out?

I have been using the NuvaRing for a couple of years and am going on vacation in 8 days. I am supposed to take my NuvaRing out in 5 days, which would mean I would have my period for most of the trip. Can I take it out earlier or leave it in longer to avoid having my period during the vacation?

I have not had menstruation for 3 months, and I have had irregular periods since high school. I started having regular periods after losing weight, but they became irregular again after moving to another country. I am 22 years old, do not use contraceptives, and am still a virgin. My last period was in September, and I have experienced stress and a slight weight gain since moving to Canada from the Philippines. I had an ultrasound in 2019 that showed an imbalance of hormones, with higher male hormones. What could be the cause of my irregular periods and what can I do about it?

I am worried about potential listeria exposure from eating chopped chicken liver and microgreens during pregnancy. I have avoided cheeses and deli meats but have eaten unpasteurized honey and microgreens. I am 38 years old, taking prenatal, thyroid, asthma meds, Pepcid, and cipralex. I have Hashimoto's and am 17 weeks pregnant. I have had normal ultrasounds so far and no symptoms of listeria. What are the risks and signs of listeria, and how can I ensure the safety of my fetus?
