I think I have a yeast infection. I'm 20 years old, and I've been experiencing itching in the vaginal area and around my butt, with slightly more discharge than normal and it being slightly thicker. I had a normal pap test in January, I'm on birth control (Lo Loestrin), and I've had no sexual activity for the last two months. What should I do to confirm and treat this?

I am 17 weeks pregnant today and I went to sit in my parents' recliner and I went to pull the handle back to recline it and it jolted back and I was jolted backwards. Is this a cause for concern?

I am experiencing severe cramps and brown spotting between periods. I am on Mirvala birth control and have been dealing with this for about 4 months. My last pap test was 2 years ago and it came back normal. I have had an STI in the past and am wondering if it could be related. What could be causing this and what should I expect when I see a doctor?

I am 4 days late for my period, and I find it strange because my period is usually on time. I have been experiencing cramps and a liquidy discharge. This month, I moved and my lifestyle has changed completely, including eating poorly and increased drinking and smoking. I also bled while ovulating, which has only happened to me twice before, both times after taking an emergency pill. I had intercourse a week after ovulating, using a condom, and there was no ejaculation inside me. Should I be concerned about pregnancy, and what could be causing my late period?

I have been spotting for over 2 weeks now. It is constant and varies from dark brown to light red. I usually start my period on the 11th or 12th of every month, but this time I started spotting on the 20th without any period cramps. I also have slight stomach pains and a musty smell from the spotting. Could my low iron be the problem, and what else could be causing this?
