I have pinkish discharge that isn't my period. It starts 5 or 6 days after my period ends and comes and goes. It's slimy and I can't smell it at the moment. My last period started on November 11 and ended on November 15. My periods are regular, and I've spotted like this in between periods one other time. I've been on blood thinners since August for a pulmonary embolism that has cleared up. I'm 38 years old and not taking any hormone pills. What could be causing this discharge, and what should I do?

I am 29 years old and 20 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have been experiencing severe acid reflux, gas cramps, and constipation since recovering from a stomach virus that led to dehydration and a visit to the ER. Additionally, I have tested positive for a GBS UTI for the fourth time despite three rounds of antibiotics. I am concerned about the impact of another round of antibiotics on my gut health and would like advice on how to manage these symptoms and the infection effectively.

I had my IUD removed on March 20th, and I had intercourse several times that month. I started my period on April 12th, but it ended with tiny spots on April 15th. I'm nervous that I might not get pregnant due to my IUD, which I had for 3.5 years. I need help figuring out when I am fertile.

I noticed a lump on the lateral side of my left breast and had an MRI Breast (Contrast) done. The findings showed a well-circumscribed enhancing mass lesion in the left breast with a type-III dynamic curve, classified as BIRADS IVB, and advised a biopsy. I have several questions: 1) Is FNAC enough or should I go for a biopsy? 2) What are the chances in % of this being cancerous/malignant? 3) Are the subcentimeteric cysts and lesions found in both breasts normal or something to worry about, and do I need follow-up? 4) If the main lesion turns out to be non-cancerous, should I still get surgery? 5) If it is cancerous, should I get surgery followed by chemotherapy/radiotherapy? Additionally, will this cause any problems during pregnancy or to my mammary glands, and can I take precautions to prevent it from turning cancerous or due to a previous injury?

I had unprotected sex two nights ago. My boyfriend had the tip of his penis inside me, and there might have been precum. He also might have fingered me after he ejaculated, but we're not sure of the sequence. My period is due in four days and is usually regular. Should I be worried about getting pregnant and should I take a contraceptive pill?

I have had a small cyst on the inner lip of my vagina for a year or so with no pain. Recently, it has grown with a white dot in the center. What is this and what should I do?
