I'm experiencing sharp and stabbing pain during intercourse and when inserting a tampon, which started about a month ago after having intercourse during my menstrual period. The pain is localized inside the vagina, close to the outside, and mainly toward the front. I'm currently using an iron supplement, Alesia 28 (birth control), and an antidepressant. I'm 16 years old and have a history of being born without a one-way ureter valve, which was eventually developed, resulting in minor kidney damage. Is there any cause for this pain, and what can be done to alleviate it?

I noticed some red/purplish spots on my right butt cheek that weren’t there a week ago. They’re not on my left cheek, and they don’t hurt or itch. What could they be? Is it herpes?

I have a histology report of my placenta from a 37-week C-section delivery. The report mentions non-reassuring heart tones, arrest of labor, and a small placenta for gestational age. Additionally, I am experiencing sudden issues with breastmilk availability and have PCOS with insulin resistance. Is it safe and beneficial to take metformin while breastfeeding?
