I think I had a yeast infection a couple of weeks ago and used Monistat, which improved it slightly. After my period, it seemed to go away, but then I noticed mild itching again. Four days after my period, I noticed a bad smell and a cheesy discharge. Could this be vaginitis from the yeast infection? I am 37, married, and not using contraceptives. My last period began 9 days ago.

I just had my IUD removed on Wednesday and I'm experiencing heavy bleeding, which is progressively getting worse. I'm 20 years old, have chronic anemia and vertigo, and recently got a bladder infection for which I'm taking antibiotics. Is this heavy bleeding normal, and what should I do?

My menstrual cycle has changed. I've been having my period for 7 days instead of the usual 4, and my cycle has shortened from 40 days to 22 days. I'm not using any contraceptives or medications, and I'm 27 years old. What could be causing this and what tests should I undergo?

I’m in the military at Fort Drum and haven’t been seen by a gynecologist as I should. I might have some type of infection, with symptoms including abnormal discharge, discomfort when sitting in certain positions, and discomfort during sex. I’m 27 years old and not using any medications. How can I get seen and what could be the issue?

My vagina gets a strong odor and sometimes has a thick white substance coming from it, especially if I skip a day without showering. I am 18 years old and haven't had a recent pap test or pelvic exam. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

I have the Paragard IUD and have had it for 3 years, with a previous IUD for 6 years. My period is usually on time, but I'm now 6 days late with only light spotting. I've taken a negative pregnancy test and am experiencing nausea, lightheadedness, light cramping, and more than usual discharge. What could be causing this and what should I do?
