I recently experienced light pink spotting followed by three days of brown discharge. I have never dealt with spotting before and have irregular periods. I also experienced cramping, nausea, and fatigue. My last period was from 05/31/22 to 06/04/2022, and I haven't had any stomach pain, dizziness, or vaginal discharge. I am 21 years old, have had two kids, and took Plan B two weeks ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

What can be the cause of my period starting and stopping after intercourse, given that I had taken Plan B a week before and had intercourse again when the bleeding started?

What is the difference between Diclectin and Mar-ketorolac, and should my pregnant girlfriend continue taking Mar-ketorolac for her upset stomach?

I am 31 years old and experiencing breast pain with no lump. My doctor recommended a mammogram, but I am concerned because the recommended age for mammograms is 40. Is it safe for me to have a mammogram, and should I be worried about my symptoms?

I have been experiencing a vaginal odor for 2 weeks, which returned after taking antibiotics and having sex with my boyfriend. I have an IUD hormonal device and have had it for 3 years. My symptoms include a discharge that is between clear and light yellow, like egg whites, mild itching, and a slight fishy odor. There is no redness, soreness, or swelling. What could be causing this and what can I do to resolve it?

I just got a STD screening and Pap done, and my doctor said I have a yeast infection. I forgot to mention that I went to a river after having sex, which caused tears. Could I possibly have gotten something from the river? I am experiencing pain, burning, and white patches on my vulva that are extremely sensitive and painful. I was given fluconazole, nystatin topical, and nitrofurantoin mono-mcr on 6/21. I see improvement in the yeast infection but still have the patches and pain. Could this be related to the river water exposure or something else?
