I have recently tested positive for HPV and have no symptoms. I am concerned about how it spreads, how long it stays active, whether it can become active again, and if there are any preventive measures or medications available. Additionally, I would like to know the likelihood of reactivation and whether I am too old for vaccination.

I am not getting periods for the last two months, and I have taken pregnancy tests four times, all of which were negative. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and my last period began in January. I am 21 years old and have a history of occasionally missing periods for one month. What could be the reason for this, and what should I do next?

I’m not sure if my bleeding is period bleeding. I am 15 days late according to my app tracker, and I took a Plan B pill. I’ve tried to take a pregnancy test a week ago, and the first test was “negative,” but the other four tests had errors and showed up blank. I didn’t dip the test stick immediately after peeing in a cup. What could be causing the bleeding, and is it possible that the delayed test stick dipping could have caused a false negative?

I'm 79 years old and have been experiencing a burning pain in my left nipple for a few weeks. The pain comes and goes and is sharp like a pinch. I'm currently taking Fiorcet for back and neck pain, Lorazepam for panic disorder, Temazepam for sleep, and thyroid medication. I also have a bad bladder infection and am on antibiotics. There is redness on the side of my breast and slight pimple-like things on the side of my breast, which are not painful. The nipple is painful on touch, but there is no discharge. I've lost 24 lbs, and my breasts are very heavy, so I don't wear a bra at home. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

I have been on birth control pills (Amethia) for about two years, but I stopped taking them today due to breakthrough bleeding problems. This morning, ejaculation occurred inside me. Is there a chance I could get pregnant?

I think I just had a miscarriage but I’m not sure if it was or if it was a blood clot. I am 22 years old and have had an IUD for 2 years. What should I do?
