I have a right side swollen area that has been getting bigger over the past few months. It sometimes speaks when pressed, and when it gets cold, it sometimes puffs out and hurts, while other times it seems normal. I initially thought it was due to lifting heavy stuff and pulling a muscle, but now I'm worried. The swelling is about 2 inches in size and is located near my right uterus. I am not on any prescribed medication, just vitamins and over-the-counter pain killers like Advil. I am 40 years old and experiencing really bad menstrual cramps that don't seem normal anymore.

I have a question about periods lasting longer than 7 days. I'm currently taking Aurovela as contraception. My period started on 1/17/21 and previously on 12/21/20. I'm 34 years old and not using any other medications. I started my birth control two days late this month. My cycle is usually normal, lasting 7 days, but this is the first time this has happened. I'm experiencing mild cramping, and the bleeding comes and goes.

I received a positive pregnancy test but have had recent pregnancy losses and low progesterone levels. How can I get a progesterone supplement to increase my chances of carrying to term?

I have been experiencing constant vaginal itching for the past 2-3 days. There is no visible skin change, no discharge, no fishy odor, slight redness from itching, and no pain or discomfort during sex. I am currently on Zinnat antibiotics for a chest infection and have had multiple rounds of antibiotics in the past few months due to an immune deficiency. What could be causing the itchiness and what can I do to alleviate it?

I lost my virginity this month and have since had sex a couple of times. I have been sore for a few days post-sex and now I'm bleeding, even though my period has already come this month. What could be causing this and what should I do?
