I am experiencing sharp and stinging perineum pain that is not constant but becomes very intense when I wipe. The pain started a few days ago and has been stable but slightly worse. I am a 25-year-old sexually active female with no medications or contraception, and I have been dealing with excess vaginal discharge and occasional swelling and pain of the clitoris. I recently shaved in the area. What could be causing this pain and how can it be managed?

I took 4 pregnancy tests a week and a half ago, all indicating I was pregnant. My first appointment isn't until the 27th. Yesterday, I started spotting, which is a bit heavier today, and I have mild cramps. I am very anxious because I tried for 4 years to get pregnant and fear something is wrong. What should I do?

What do the terms anechoic, dominant, and complex mean in the context of a pelvic ultrasound? Also, what do loculated fluid and partial hydrosalphix indicate, and are they always associated with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)?

I have small white canker sore-type ulcers on my clitoris. I noticed them after using a spin bike at the gym, which caused extreme sensitivity. There is a bit of a smell, and the area is worse despite not being touched for months. I am a menopausal 53-year-old with no other medical history in that area. What could this be and how should it be treated?

I am a week late on my period and started bleeding yesterday, but it seems abnormal with larger, thicker blood clots. My periods are usually regular, and I have had my tubes tied for 7 years. Should I be worried about this irregularity?
