I've been experiencing debilitating sharp pains in my kidneys that started a few days ago and come and go. I also have lower back pain, my leg falls asleep when standing, and I feel the need to urinate frequently. I'm on Lexapro and Klonopin, and I had abdominal surgery three years ago due to a car accident. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have Kyleena IUD and experienced very short bleeding that lasted only a day. I'm concerned if it's my period or implant bleeding. My period was regular but the last cycle lasted 50 days, and I had some spotting three days before the bleeding. I'm also experiencing breast pain and fatigue. I took Plan B after unprotected sex on May 28. What are the chances of pregnancy, and how should I interpret this bleeding?

I have small white singular bumps on my labia that itch and look like pimples, and it burns when I pee. The itching and burning started a week ago, and the bumps appeared two days ago. I have no known allergies and no other significant medical history. What could this be, and what should I do?

I have been experiencing a sudden increase in light yellow, thin, and watery vaginal discharge for about a week, which is constant and has been causing inconvenience. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on September 17, which resulted in a tear in my vaginal opening. The discharge started 2-3 days after the sexual encounter. I also mentioned using a boric acid suppository two days after the sex, but only once. What could be causing this discharge, and how should I manage it?

I started using dilators about 3 weeks ago. It has been over 5 years since I've been intimate. I haven't dilated for a week now and today when I used the restroom and wiped, I noticed a bloody, almost mucus-like substance on the paper. The color isn't bright red, it's a darker shade of red. Should I be concerned? I also have a UTI and am using an ointment (nystatin & Triamcinolone acetonide) and a medication (SMZ-TMPDS sub for Bactrim DS). I've been using estradiol cream and Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets since March. I don't have any pain, but it feels like when I would get my period, as if I can feel my ovaries. Is this normal?

I'm experiencing pain and swelling on one side of my vagina, along with redness and white, clumpy discharge that doesn't smell. I recently started taking Monistat for what I thought was a yeast infection, but the swelling is new. How long have you dealt with the yeast infection? Have you experienced this in the past? When was your last pap test or pelvic exam? Any irregular results from past exams? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
