Trying to determine if I am experiencing decidual bleeding or my regular period. I had a sexual encounter on October 2nd where semen got near the vaginal opening. On October 6th, I had some spotting, and on the 7th, the bleeding picked up and has been filling up tampons since then. I am 19 years old, not using contraceptives, and have no other medical history to note. My last period started on September 3rd, and I was due to start my next one on October 7th. I have had mild cramps and normal flow, but with some larger clots. What could this be?

I have noticed little bumps in my inner labia. I think it might be Vestibular Papillomatosis or HPV. The bumps are a little itchy, and my vaginal discharge has been brown and then white. I'm not currently sexually active and got vaccinated for HPV once. What could these bumps be, and what should I do?

I have redness and itching around the outside of my vagina that is not related to any infection as per a swab test. I have been treated with antibiotics, creams, prednisone, and anti-inflammatory medications, but the symptoms persist. The itchiness started about a month ago, and my skin is red. I am currently using prednisone, celebrex, and silver cream. I am also diabetic, and my GP initially diagnosed the itch as cellulitis, prescribing antibiotics, which helped initially but then the symptoms returned.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and had a brown discharge this morning with no pain. I also had an internal ultrasound yesterday which showed everything was good, including a heartbeat of 161. Is this brown discharge normal, and should I be concerned?

I’m 17 weeks pregnant and came across something on social media about an amniotic fluid embolism. How rare is this, and is this something I should worry about?
