I have noticed a lump on the inside of one of my vaginal lips that itches occasionally and looks like a spot. I am in a committed relationship and recently underwent a repeat cone-biopsy, which has led to more frequent use of pads or panty liners. My discharge appears normal, but I am wondering if the lump could be due to insufficient air to the area or if it could be an infection. Additionally, the labia surrounding the bump has turned slightly blue/purple, and the area towards the back/bottom of my labia is tender to touch. Could this be an infection or something else?

My period has been only 2 days long and very light, followed by 3 days of bright red spotting. This has been consistent since January, and it's different from my usual medium flow for 3 days followed by light flow until day 5. Is this normal, and what could be causing this change?

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 13 days. I am 30 years old, my last period was 26 days ago, and I am experiencing bleeding, clotting, back pain, cramps, and consistent nausea. I have not been using any medications specifically for the bleeding, but I used Advil and antibiotics for a sore throat a few days ago. What could be causing this and what steps can we take to increase our chances of getting pregnant?

I accidentally took my birth control pill for Wednesday and Thursday together on Wednesday. I then waited a day, letting Thursday pass without taking a pill to get back on track. I then continued taking my pills for Friday and Saturday as scheduled. I then had unprotected sex Saturday night. I wanted to know if I'm at risk for pregnancy or will I be okay even though I skipped a day to get back on track from accidentally taking two.

I have a history of itching, localized swelling, and feeling odd a few days after being stung by a bee. I was stung twice today and took one Benadryl. After taking Benadryl, I felt very sleepy and a little out of it. I am currently taking Toprol XL 25 mg twice a day and Crestor 20 mg once daily. I have a history of PVCs, which have worsened due to menopause. I am wondering if it is safe to take another Benadryl if my allergic reaction worsens.
