I’m still bleeding heavily after 10 days. This is new for me, as I had two period cycles in the same month. I just stopped taking the birth control Depo shot, and I’ve always had heavy bleeding cycles. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My vulva area is hurting. The pain started on April 20 and comes and goes. It feels achy and sore, and I have very small bumps on both sides of my inner vulva lips. I also have vaginal discharge that was initially white but is now a bright green-yellow color and clumpy. The discharge itches and feels good when I rub it but gets sore afterwards. There is an odor, and my vulva can get swollen from scratching too much. I have Vestibular papillomatosis, which I didn't have before. I was sexually active on April 17th, and it hurt when first trying to have intercourse after 9 months. I have not taken any antibiotics recently, but I did bathe with men's body soap. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I have been on my period for 3 weeks now, and I am on the pill, which is the highest dosage one. I have been on this pill for a while now. My last period was maybe 2 months ago, and I have been on birth control pills for 2 years. I am 17 years old and started using the pill when I was in grade 9. I have been sexually active, so I don’t know if this could be a sign of pregnancy or not. What could be causing this prolonged period, and what should I do?

I have terrible pelvic cramps and irregular bleeding. I've been taking doxycycline and metronidazole for 5 days, but my symptoms are getting worse and I'm bleeding more. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am experiencing itching and redness in my vaginal area, frequent urination, and the symptoms have been present for a day or two. My skin looks red and dry, and I have tried Monistat and Azo for a possible yeast infection. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I’m 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. My hcg levels have been doubling nicely every two days. I went to the OBGYN yesterday and he did a vaginal ultrasound, said my uterus looked thickened and told me everything looked great. (Too early to see the baby). I noticed though a couple hours later a few drops of brown blood in my underwear, I also had some cramping as well. This morning I don’t really have cramps but there’s still some blood when I wipe after I peed. Is this normal? This is my first pregnancy. I’m 28 years old and have no PMH.
