I am a 42-year-old female with a history of irregular periods. Recently, I have been experiencing multiple periods within a 6-week span, each lasting 3-5 days with a couple of days break in between. I am on the birth control pill Junel, which I have been using for about 8 or 9 years. I have experienced a lot of stress recently and have not had a gynecological exam in about 3 years. What could be causing this irregularity and what should I do?

I have been experiencing pelvis pain below the belly button, more pronounced on the right side, for about 30 days. The pain is tender to touch and slightly worse when taking steps or when there is pressure on the bladder. My last period was from January 17-21, and my appetite and bowel movements are normal. I don't have a fever, and my appendix is fine. What could be causing this pain, and should I seek medical attention?

I have a 24-day menstrual cycle and got my periods on April 22, ending on April 25. I had sex on April 28 and now I'm experiencing severe nipple pain, breast pain, vaginal dryness, abdominal pain, cramps, and frequent urination at night. I also felt like vomiting while traveling. Am I pregnant?

I went to the OBGYN today where he said I had a massive vaginal infection and a herpetic lesion, but I have no history of herpes and my partner recently tested negative for herpes. The doctor said it doesn't look like herpes, but I'm concerned. Is it possible to have a vaginal lesion that is not herpes or another STD?
