I am experiencing pain during sex and bleeding afterward. The pain started during sex and is localized in the lower abdomen. It is a stabbing pain. I had chlamydia about a month ago, which was cured, and bacterial vaginosis two weeks ago, which was also cured. I also have irritable bowel syndrome. I am 17 years old and have a thick, brown/white discharge that is a little itchy, but there is no foul odor or redness. I recently took antibiotics for BV. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I am 54, still menstruating heavily, and have a walnut-size ovarian cyst, a 5mm Tarlov cyst, unspecified connective tissue disease, ANA+, borderline lupus, degenerative disc disease, and serious osteoarthritis. I am scheduled for a radical hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. How will my connective tissue disease affect the hysterectomy, and am I at risk for weight gain post-hysterectomy?

I've been getting positive pregnancy tests at home, but my blood test at the doctor's was negative. I'm only 2 days late. I'm experiencing nausea, sore breasts, and a missed period. I haven't had a pap test before, and I had a miscarriage 3 months ago. How old are you, and do you have the serum beta HCG test report? How are your menstrual cycles usually?

My wife's periods have been going on for almost 11 days now and have been irregular for over a year. She has been taking Tranexamic Acid Tablets for the last 3 days, but they haven't helped this time. She had an ultrasound that revealed fibroids. She is 34 years old and is experiencing lower abdomen cramps for the first time. How can her prolonged periods be managed?
