I have had an IUD for 8 months now. I’m bleeding everyday since I got it. I’m bleeding so much that I’m having to wear pads instead of panty liners. It’s heavy and clots. Is this normal?

How can I know if I have bacterial vaginosis (BV), and what can I do to get rid of it?

I was having really bad cramps and passed a lot of clots. I'm on day 11 of bleeding. Should I be concerned? I've never experienced cramps this bad before, and my periods are usually irregular. I'm due for a pelvic exam, and I haven't had any irregular results from past exams. I'm 31 years old, not taking contraceptive pills, and my last sexual activity was on June 10th and 11th, without taking Plan B. What should I do?

I have a cyst-like bump between the labia and vulva. It is tender to touch, with some redness in my groin area. I woke up with it yesterday, and the swelling and pain have increased since then. The cyst is firm and elongated, not round. I take birth control and am 28 years old. I had bacterial vaginosis (BV) about a month ago. What could this be, and what should I do?

I have been bleeding for over a week and a half, which isn't normal. The bleeding has been stable, and I am not using any medications specifically for the bleeding but do take medicine for other health issues. I am 38 years old and have a medical history of asthma, depression, migraines, allergies, endometriosis, and cervical cancer. What could be causing the prolonged bleeding, and what steps should I take?
