I have been experiencing painful intercourse and wiping, with redness and possible swelling around the vaginal opening. The pain is sharp and occurs in a circular pattern around the vaginal opening. I am using an overa birth control ring and have noticed some mild burning after intercourse. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

I had a surgical procedure scheduled last week, but a urine HCG test came back positive, indicating pregnancy. I took an at-home pregnancy test which also showed positive. Today, I experienced cramping on my left side, bleeding, and a small blood clot, similar to a normal period. Could I have miscarried? I believe I am at most 4 weeks pregnant, with my last menstrual cycle starting on 8/1/2020. I was previously told my tubes were blocked and pregnancy was unlikely without IVF. What should I do next?

I'm having vaginal itching but no discharge. The itchiness started on Monday and comes and goes, but it's mild. The itch is more inside, and there are no visible skin changes. I have no known allergies and no other relevant medical history. I had symptoms of a UTI last week but they were gone by the weekend. What could be causing the itching, and what should I do?

I'm experiencing new irregularities with my period, including spotting and cramping between periods. I'm 24 years old, have been on the pill since I was 18, and my last period started on November 26 and ended on the 28th. What could be causing this and should I see a doctor?
