I'm a 66-year-old woman who had a urinary tract infection (UTI) three weeks ago. I was treated with antibiotics for five days, but I never felt completely better. Last night, I started feeling uncomfortable again, going to the toilet frequently, and noticed pink marks on the toilet paper. This morning, I'm still experiencing frequent, small amounts of urination with pink marks. I'm very uncomfortable and don't know what to do. I'm drinking water constantly and can't see my doctor until tomorrow. Can you help me and tell me what to do?

What does it mean to be pregnant based on my lab reports, and what should I do to ensure a healthy pregnancy?

I have doubts about whether I may be pregnant. I am not using any contraceptives, my last period began on December 17, and I am 22 years old. My periods are not regular, and my last period lasted 8 days instead of the usual 3 or 4 days. I live with my fiance and we do not use any method of protection. I have some anxiety and stress, but no other significant medical history.

We are currently trying to conceive. It is 6 days after my period and only when I go to the bathroom there is blood when wiping. What could this be?

I’m on birth control but got my period a week early. It has lasted a week so far. I’ve been on birth control since November 2022. My last period began May 25 and ended May 29. I take 200mg of Lamotrigine daily, 10 mg of buspirone twice daily, and 75mg Welbutrin daily. I am 28. My period has been very consistent the last several years, but I regularly experience heavy bleeding and severe cramps. Symptoms of this period have been mild. I have not missed a birth control dose. Should I go to an urgent care, ER, or try to get in with my PCP tomorrow, or wait until my scheduled appointment this coming Tuesday?

I have a recurring issue of yellow discharge and foul-smelling symptoms. I've been using boric acid vaginal suppositories and have taken metronidazole, but the problem keeps coming back. Will it show up in my blood work, and what can I do to prevent it from recurring?
