I'm a 40-year-old woman experiencing irregular bleeding during my cycle, which started after having sex. I'm on day 22 of my cycle and usually have a regular cycle between 26-31 days.

I was using my vibrator every day on a high setting, now I have a red blister on my clit. Is that normal? How long have you dealt with the redness? Is this issue stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the redness or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

Hi Dr. I started taking Premarin during my period to try and prevent a dip in hormones because I get migraines every month. I currently have a migraine. Do you think the pill could cause migraines too? Is there anything else you recommend? Thank you.

I've had my period for almost three weeks, with some days being heavy and others light, and there is clotting. I am not using contraceptives, my last period began on June 15th, and I am on prescriptions for anxiety, depression, allergies, and blood pressure. I have been under stress. What could be causing this prolonged and irregular bleeding, and what should I do about it?

I am considering a partial hysterectomy due to severe periods, anemia, and two 5cm fibroids. My doctor recommended an ablation, but my surgeon insists on tying my tubes or my husband's vasectomy before proceeding. I'm hesitant about the hysterectomy. What other options or recommendations do you have?

I have PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder) and have been experiencing irregular periods for years. I also have thyroid issues, weight gain, and unwanted hair growth. What treatment and lifestyle changes are required for this?
