I have been bleeding for 12 months despite trying the Mirena IUD, the pill, and the Depo-Provera shot. My last pap test and pelvic exam were 3 months ago and were normal. I used to have PCOS. What could be causing the prolonged bleeding and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

I got off my period last Wednesday and noticed bleeding during self-gratification. I have an IUD (copper) and the bleeding has been stable. I'm 22 years old, not using any medications, and had a rape kit done last Friday. I don't have pain, but it's uncomfortable and a little sore down there. There's no odor. When was my last pap smear? It was on Friday morning. Is there anything causing this that I shouldn't be worried about?

I had my period for 15 days and just got off. However, after I showered, my vagina is burning and feels dry. I have PCOS and endometriosis. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I’m still bleeding heavily after 10 days. This is new for me, as I had two period cycles in the same month. I just stopped taking the birth control Depo shot, and I’ve always had heavy bleeding cycles. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My vulva area is hurting. The pain started on April 20 and comes and goes. It feels achy and sore, and I have very small bumps on both sides of my inner vulva lips. I also have vaginal discharge that was initially white but is now a bright green-yellow color and clumpy. The discharge itches and feels good when I rub it but gets sore afterwards. There is an odor, and my vulva can get swollen from scratching too much. I have Vestibular papillomatosis, which I didn't have before. I was sexually active on April 17th, and it hurt when first trying to have intercourse after 9 months. I have not taken any antibiotics recently, but I did bathe with men's body soap. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
