I haven't had my period since June, with only spotting at the end of July and again around August 12-13. I'm 22 years old, have had unprotected sex using the withdrawal method, and my last menstrual period started around June 20. I've tested negative for pregnancy twice, but I have light abdominal pain and brown spotting. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am 61 years old and experiencing burning inside the vagina area with one small bump and another farther up. I also have peeling skin or something that looks like that. I am diabetic and had a pap test 10 years ago with no irregularities. I have no periods and no recent vaginal trauma. I started a new job about a year ago where I sit 8-10 hours daily.

I have a small painful bump on my vagina, like on the lip, it's not a pimple, it doesn't have a head. I am 23 years old, had some itchiness around the area starting 24 hours ago, and a few days ago I had UTI symptoms. I've never had a pap test or pelvic exam. Additionally, on Sunday morning I had to go to the toilet to pee about 10 times in one hour and it was very painful with a spot of blood. The last urination it felt like something came out and there was relief, but every time since I need to urinate it hurts at the very end almost like a cramp. A couple days before my period, I get thrush-like symptoms, but not crazy discharge. The area gets super itchy and a little bit of white discharge. I got my period today, the area is still quite itchy. What could these issues be?

I am 14 weeks pregnant and experiencing severe back pain and left side kidney pain that is on and off for the past two days. I have had a clear urine test but still have pain. What could be the cause of this pain, and what tests or treatments might be recommended?

I had unprotected vaginal sex with a partner on December 15th. I experienced symptoms similar to gonorrhea and chlamydia, but tests on January 3rd and January 30th (46 days post-exposure) for HIV and other STDs came back negative. I am concerned about the accuracy of my 6.5-week test results on a First Generation test, whether body chills without fever are a symptom of HIV, and my overall risk level.

I've been on birth control pills for several months now, and my period has been consistent every month except when I took Plan B. My last period was from March 1st to the 7th. I'm 20 years old, my weight is within the normal range for my height, and I've taken pregnancy tests that were negative. My partner also uses condoms during intercourse. Is it normal for my cycle to fluctuate month by month even when on birth control, and what could be causing these fluctuations?
