I'm on birth control and I skip the placebo pills to skip my period. I got my period for longer than normal and now have bleeding a little more than spotting and a brown discharge. I've been dealing with this for about 4 days now. I'm also diabetic and have been taking birth control consistently for about 1.5 months. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had a string around a sexual device in my rectum, but the string came off. How can I get it out?

I have a couple of small raised red bumps on my labia that I've had for a few years. One of the bumps has recently become painful and raised, looking and feeling like a blood blister. Is there any reason I would need to see a doctor, or have cause for concern?

I woke up feeling fine, but after using the bathroom, I experienced pain around the anus and vaginal opening. The pain has been on and off, more constant after using the bathroom. I am 22 years old, have not had a pap test or pelvic exam, and have no known medical history. What could be causing this pain?

I recently had unprotected sex and my boyfriend finished inside of me. Now I’m really itchy inside, there’s a foul odor, and it kinda burns. I’ve had a yeast infection and BV before but it never itched or smelled this bad. I’ve also just taken Plan B three days ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My last normal period was on Jan 29th 2010. I started on birth control pills after that, missed a couple, and had irregular periods in February. I took a pregnancy test in March that came out positive. An early ultrasound in April estimated me to be about 6 weeks pregnant, changing my due date from Nov 3rd to Nov 23rd. I am now 21 weeks and 5 days pregnant, but my belly is measuring larger than expected. If Jan 29th was my normal period, which one of the other two periods in February were real periods? When did I get pregnant? How accurate are early ultrasounds? When could I have ovulated and gotten pregnant?
