I think I have a uterine prolapse. I've been concerned about it for a year, but was told it was my normal anatomy. I have symptoms like cramping, pelvic pain, urinating when coughing or sneezing, fullness in my pelvis/lower belly, frequently urinating, and feeling like I have to pee but nothing comes out. I also have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have two children, both delivered vaginally. Yesterday, I experienced a popping sensation in my vagina followed by intense painful cramps and couldn't walk without pain. I have a picture that suggests something is not right. What should I do?

For the past 2-3 weeks, my vagina/vulva area has been super dry and itchy with no discharge or smell. I was on antibiotics around November 29th and recently started a new medication for my rheumatoid arthritis, sulfasalazine. Could these factors cause yeast infection symptoms now, and what should I do about the itchiness and dryness?

I've had a very regular period for about 7 years. My husband and I started trying for a baby a couple months ago. I have officially missed my period this month, but I have about 10 negative pregnancy tests. Is there a chance that I am pregnant?

Hello, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend 20 days ago while she was ovulating. We did not use any contraceptives but I used the pull-out method. She was expecting her period 10 days ago but hasn't got it yet. We are really scared about this. She took a urine test 19 days after the incident which was negative. We are not expecting a child at this point. What could be causing the delay in her period and can we trust the negative pregnancy test result?

I used PH balancing boric acid suppositories because I felt a yeast infection starting a day after sex, and have been in discomfort for 3 days now, thought a UTI may have started as well. I realized I used them with a cut/tear inside from the sex. Will this heal soon or do I need a pelvic exam? I'm uninsured so I'd really like to save the visit.

I had a laparoscopic surgery to remove a large cyst from my right ovary 3 weeks ago. I found out today that I am 7 weeks pregnant. I was 4 weeks pregnant during the surgery and my pregnancy was not detected. I am concerned about the potential side effects of the anesthesia on my baby, such as congenital defects, neurological damage, brain damage, or fetal death. What should I expect regarding the health of my baby, and would these potential damages be visible in a 7-week pregnancy ultrasound?
