I've had three kids and noticed my labia extend outside the vagina almost an inch after the first or second birth. I no longer wear underwear or tight clothing due to discomfort and am curious if this could be a result of malpractice during birth or a common side effect. My sister also has this issue, but not my other sister, even though they had the same doctor. My boyfriend has seen this only a few times in his past. Do you have any insight?

I recently stopped taking birth control for the first time in 10 years, and my last period began on 7/3 and is still occurring. I am 26 years old, have a BRCA1 mutation, and was taking tri lo marzia for 16 years. My periods were regular before stopping the birth control. What could be causing the prolonged bleeding, and are there other preventative measures for ovarian cancer besides birth control?

I experienced burning pain in the urethra for 5 days after using lubricant for the first time with my partner. The pain is accompanied by symptoms like the urge to pee even after urination, some dripping, and a few-second delay before urine comes out. I also feel mild pain around the testicle area and some gland pains. The urine test was negative, but I was prescribed antibiotics. Now, the burning pain is reducing, but I'm experiencing itching instead. Is this normal, and should I continue with the antibiotics?
