I'm not on my period, but I keep seeing blood come from my vagina, especially during sex, even though my partner is very gentle. I recently had a UTI which I've cleared, and I'm on birth control (Tri-Lo-Mili, 0.25mg). My last period started on September 22 and lasted for about 5 days, but the bleeding has continued in a brownish form. I feel perfectly fine with no redness, bumps, sores, itchiness, discharge, or cramps. I am sexually active with one partner who tested negative for STDs. My last pregnancy test was a few weeks ago and it was negative. I haven't had a pap smear or STD screening yet. What could be causing this unusual bleeding and what should I do?

I am experiencing intermenstrual bleeding that has been going on for a week. I am 20 years old and usually have regular periods. This is not normal period blood; it's red/brown spotting that turns red when I wipe after peeing. I have no pain and have never had a pap test or pelvic exam. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I think I have an ovarian cyst rupturing and I’m in a lot of pain and feel dizzy. The pain started two days ago and keeps getting worse. It's located on my left side, in my back and front, around my ovary. The pain feels like a stabbing/squeezing pressure, and nothing is making it better. I'm also nauseous and lightheaded when I move. I'm 19 years old, on ibuprofen 600mg, an iron-fortified prenatal, and a blood pressure medication. I have endometriosis. What should I do?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and noticed some blood on toilet paper during my period time. This is my first pregnancy and I am on medication for depression. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

I have a lump near my vagina that has been present for a couple of years. Recently, it has grown significantly and feels more swollen and stiff. The lump is not itchy or a different color than my skin, and it is located between my thigh and inner butt, near the opening of my vagina but not too close. What could this lump be, and how should I manage it?
