I've been in a relationship for 7 years and have tried to have penetrative sex, but it hurts so badly that I need to stop. The pain is mainly at the vaginal opening and deeper, feeling like there's a 'block' or barrier. The pain is sharp and stabbing. I'm 27 years old and haven't tried penetrative sex in a few years. What could be causing this pain, and what can be done to address it?

I missed my periods by 12 days and have been experiencing nausea for 3 days. I am 25 years old, had unprotected sex at the start of the month, and used a home pregnancy test that showed one thick line and one light line. I have a history of thyroid issues. I am unmarried and considering an abortion. Are there safe and legal options for abortion, and will it affect my future pregnancies?

I have pain in my urethra, which is swollen and hurts when I walk, pee, or sit. I'm 21 years old, and my last pap test in August 21 was normal, but I've had recurring yeast infections for years. I also have a swollen urethra. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I recently returned from a trip to Mexico where I experienced weight loss and symptoms similar to Montezuma's Revenge. My period was delayed and I had light spotting, followed by a shorter and lighter period than usual. I am on birth control pills and had protected sex before the trip. I took multiple negative pregnancy tests and have symptoms like nausea, frequent urination, and stomach pain. Could these symptoms be related to a stomach virus or a urinary tract infection, and how do they affect my period and pregnancy likelihood?
