I started having itching in my vulva after my periods ended. The itchiness started this Thursday and is localized to my vulva. My skin does not look different, and I have no known allergies. I take birth control and have experienced this itching before, similar to a yeast infection. Is there any fishy odor or vaginal discharge? Do I experience painful/burning sensation with urination? Am I sexually active? Do I have any pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding?

I just had my 30th birthday in April and since then, I've been spotting and bleeding what seems like all the time. Some days I spot, and sometimes I flow like I'm on my period. I'm not using any medications, and I thought I was just going through menstrual changes. My cycle time was every 20 days before that. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been experiencing irregular periods for about 8 years. I have two abnormal growing follicles on my left ovary, and I have seen several doctors without a clear diagnosis. I was on birth control for a year but stopped due to significant weight gain. I am currently taking only iron supplements and vitamins. What could be causing my irregular periods, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

My period is late. I have a 32-day cycle and my last period was on April 9th, lasting for 5 days. I tested positive on an ovulation test on May 5th. Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant. So far, I've had negative pregnancy tests and no period as of a couple of days ago. Could I be pregnant?

I took a pregnancy test after a missed period and had faint positives on multiple tests, followed by positive digital tests. I have symptoms like tenderness, heavy breasts, fatigue, mood swings, headache, lower back pain, sore legs, and warm flashes. Today, I experienced bleeding, not heavy, and I'm worried about what's happening. Should I be concerned, and is it okay to wait until my scheduled OB/GYN appointment?

I am experiencing pain during intercourse for the first time, which started a week ago. The pain is dull and localized in the vagina. I am 35 years old, have no unusual discharge, genital redness/bumps/sores, urinary symptoms, abdominal cramps outside of intercourse, or fever. I have had one partner in the last 3-4 months and have not been diagnosed or treated for an STD. What could be causing the pain and what should I do?
