I haven't had sex for a long time and recently experienced bleeding after sex twice. I am not using any contraceptives, but I use condoms. The bleeding was stable and improved, and I have no pain, itching, burning, foul odor, redness, soreness, or swelling. My period is normal, and I had a little white vaginal discharge. What could be causing the bleeding, and what should I do?

How normal are headaches at 11 weeks 3 days pregnant and could it be a sign of something serious?

I think I might have endometriosis, but I’m scared the doctor will want to give me birth control before doing other tests. Can I decline birth control for other tests? I’ve had symptoms for years but no diagnosis. I’m currently using condoms as contraception and only take over-the-counter pain medication when needed. I’m 22 years old and don’t have a family doctor due to a shortage in my area, so I go to walk-in clinics for any issues. Will this affect any potential diagnosis?

I have noticed a new issue around my breast, which appeared about 3 days ago. It is itchy, especially when exposed to warm water in the shower, and is dry. I have eczema, but this is not usually in this area. I am currently sick with sinus issues and cannot recall if this has happened before. What could this be and what should I do?

I'm currently on birth control but experiencing pregnancy symptoms. I took a negative pregnancy test this morning, but my symptoms make me feel like it was a false negative. I've been on this birth control for about six to eight months and haven't gotten my period in a while because I don't take the sugar pills. I'm 21 years old and not using any daily medications, except for Tylenol this morning for a headache. A couple of weeks ago, I missed my pill a few times, but not consecutively. My current symptoms include a headache on the left side of my head, sensitive nipples, bloated/pressure feeling below my belly button, nausea, and frequent gagging. What could be causing these symptoms if I'm not pregnant?

I started birth control in October with no issues, but this month, I finished my period a couple of weeks ago and have been having a very light period for the past 4-5 days while still on the hormonal pills. I took Plan B on January 3rd and this problem started on January 24th or 25th. I'm supposed to start the sugar pills next Tuesday and shouldn't be having a period now. What could this be and how long could it last?
