Why do I feel a rough, hard tube-like thing when I stick my finger into my vagina? It was never there before, and there is no discomfort, discharge, or other symptoms. I am 42 years old, my menses is late, and I haven't had a pap test in years. I suspect a slight infection due to a yeast infection smell but no discharge. What could this sensation be?

I have questions about pre-implantation bleeding vs. menstruation. I had pretty bad cramps yesterday for maybe an hour. I'm about a week late on my period but I just stopped taking birth control about a month ago. I had a period right after coming off of it on March 1, 2018. On March 19, I had sex for the first time but the man did not ejaculate. It was uncomfortable for me so we stopped pretty quickly after it happened. I had pretty bad cramps yesterday for about an hour. Ever since then, I have had a brown discharge that I can only see when wiping. I don't want to go through the stress of getting a pregnancy test if I don't have to, and I also think it may be too soon to tell anyway.

I have a bloody mucus discharge from my rectum. I have no pain or discomfort and have never had a hemorrhoid. Should I worry about it?

I am 67 years old and my test results came back positive for pseudomonas aeruginosa, Prevotella species group 1, and enterococcus faecalis. I had a pap test in August which was fine, and a pelvic exam in April for white discharge with no odor. I started having the discharge and yeast infections after starting Estroil vaginally. What should I know about these results and my symptoms?

I think I had a miscarriage and am unsure. I am 26 years old and passed an unusual clot this morning. I have a picture. I am currently on the NuvaRing and just had a baby on February 16th. My periods have been normal since delivery.
