I have been experiencing bleeding from the vagina with a bad smell for 4 days. I am 40 years old and had a pap smear a year ago with no issues. I don't have pain or sores, and I haven't had unsafe sex. I once had an infection but never with blood. Could the infection cause bleeding, and could you recommend some medicine for this?

What are the risks associated with future pregnancies, especially considering a past seizure that was not diagnosed as epilepsy and was provoked by a gas geyser incident?

I'm not sure if I have genital herpes. I've been concerned about it for a few months and I'm sexually active. I'm experiencing a little bit of biting and itching, and my gynecologist said I tested positive for a yeast infection. I took yeast infection medication for 2 days, but I'm still experiencing symptoms. Could this be associated with the yeast infection, and could it be something else like herpes?

I am on birth control pills, specifically Tri-lo marzia. I tried skipping my period by skipping all my placebo pills and moving on to my next pack, but now I am on my placebo pills and my period hasn't started yet. How long should I wait for my period to start, and could the antibiotics and medication for a UTI and yeast infection last week delay my period?

I recently felt a lump/bump on the left side wall of my vagina while checking for my IUD strings. It's larger and rounder than a pimple, and located near the harder part in the middle, which I assume is the beginning of my cervix. It doesn't hurt when touched, and I've never explored inside my vagina before. I had a pap smear recently that showed everything was fine, and I had a false positive for gonorrhea in October. Is this lump something to worry about, and could it be a cyst?
