I want to start using birth control pills but I don’t know which one I should choose. I’ve never used birth control pills before, and my last period began today. My periods are regular, a little long (up to 8 days) and painful, but I haven’t had any changes in weight, diet, exercise, or stress levels. I recently had sexual intercourse, and I’ve never had a Pap smear. I don’t have any acne or headache issues, and I’m not allergic to any medication or have any other medical conditions.

I am 5 days late on my period. Should I be worried? I am currently sick from COVID. Could that possibly delay my period?

What would you recommend for persistent vaginal itching, especially at night, in a 72-year-old woman who has been using Vagisil for three years without relief, and had a hysterectomy at age 40? She had her last pap test and pelvic exam about four years ago with no irregular results.

I recently switched to the Depo shot as my birth control in October. I received my first dose at the end of October and missed my expected period. I started a period on November 21st, which has been ongoing with bleeding and spotting. I'm concerned about the prolonged duration. What should I do?

I just had a baby on August 20th, 2020. I had sex for the first time on September 12th using a condom, and again on October 31st. My first period after childbirth was from October 2nd-8th. I haven't had a period since then and recently tested positive for pregnancy. When did I get pregnant?

I have been experiencing recurring yeast infections for the past three months, despite taking multiple doses of vaginal ovules and fluconazole tablets. The symptoms initially included itching, solid discharge, and occasional spotting, but now mainly consist of spotting and discharge, especially when exerting pressure. My swab test results were normal for yeast and BV, but I am concerned that the fluconazole may have affected the test results. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?
