I was put on birth control for a cyst by my ob/gyn a month ago and have bled every day since. The bleeding has gotten heavier, requiring me to change my tampon every 1.5-2 hours. I'm 47 and perimenopausal, but even in my regular cycles, I've never been this heavy. Now I have cramps when I lay down or stand and sit. Is all this normal until the cyst shrinks and goes away?

Hi, I had a UTI last week and was on an antibiotic but only for 5 days. I went to the emergency room for treatment and checked out okay except for some thickening in the uterine lining. Since I still feel tinges of pain occasionally and saw a tiny bit of blood on my toilet paper today, I am worried. I am 53 years old, have not had a period since September, and took over-the-counter menopause relief for 3 months. I am in the off month. What specific question can I answer for you?

I have a very foul vaginal odor. My physician had lab tests done from a swab, and the results indicated no infection. What could be the problem, and should I see a gynecologist?

I've had 7 miscarriages and my last 2 pregnancies were managed with lovenox shots and baby aspirin, but I still miscarried. My OB has done various tests (hormone, chromosome, blood clot, uterus, sugar) which all came back normal. I'm 32 and have no known health problems. I don't know where to turn or what to do next to have a successful pregnancy. What suggestions do you have?

I got pregnant while taking diet pills. How big a risk is it for the baby? I stopped taking the pills at five weeks of pregnancy and was using Slimquick twice a day.

I woke up this morning and saw a large, dark brown blood clot. I've never had this happen before, and I have a submucosal fibroid. The blood clot has been getting worse; initially, they were small and bright red, but now they are large and brown. I've been bleeding for an entire month since June 24, I'm 21 years old, and I've been experiencing lightheadedness and dizziness, likely due to anemia. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
