I think I may have a peptic ulcer. I have bad pain in my lower back and top of my abdomen, which tends to go away when I eat. I'm 23 years old and have tried ibuprofen for the pain, but no other medications. Should I go to a health clinic or the emergency room?

I have had my period since the end of February and it has not stopped. The longest I went without using tampons or pads was about 8 days. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 31 years old. My last gynecological exam was about 2 months ago, and the results were fine. However, I am still bleeding heavily and have occasional lower stomach pain. I am scared that this continuous bleeding could be life-threatening or affect my ability to have children. What should I do?

My girlfriend and I recently had sex. I used a condom but it broke. Soon after it broke, I replaced it. I hadn't cum yet. The next evening we bought the Plan B pill. Is there any chance that she is pregnant?

If you go to an OBGYN and the wet mount comes back negative for yeast, can you still have a yeast infection? How long does it take for the swab culture result to come back for a yeast infection? Could antibiotics like Ceftriaxone and Doxycycline cause a yeast infection in a few days, even after a negative wet mount result?

I am a 45-year-old woman who had an ablation at 40. I have a higher risk for clots and take Eliquis. I haven't had a real period in over 2 years, only occasional pink discharge. Do I still need to continue taking the mini pill for birth control, and can I have a test to determine if I am done with menopause?

I need a gynecologist to explain my ultrasound results to me. The impression from the ultrasound states: 'New bulky rounded echogenic material epicentered over expected location of fundal endometrium. Abnormal endometrial thickening (hyperplasia/dysplasia or potential malignancy not excluded).' I have been experiencing heavy periods with clotting, pelvic pains, and shorter ovulation periods, leading to iron deficiency. My family doctor won't give me a specific answer, and I have been waiting to be referred to a specialist for a biopsy. The endometrial tissue measures up to 2.9 cm, and the uterus is described as bulky and heterogeneous, measuring up to 13 cm in length and 7x6 cm in transverse. What could these findings mean, and what should be the next steps?
