I have been experiencing intense waves of pelvic pain spreading from my pubic bone to my belly button over the last month, accompanied by irregular bowel movements, including diarrhea and constipation. I have a history of UTIs and constipation, and I am currently on the Evra birth control patch for menorrhagia. I am concerned about the severity of the pain, which has caused me to faint once, and whether it could be something more serious than constipation.

If I took Plan B, spotted two weeks after for five days, is it uncommon to miss my next period? I took Plan B on December 1, 2022, following unprotected sex. Two weeks later, I experienced spotting for five days. My next period was expected between December 17-21, but it hasn't come yet. I have light cramping and slight fatigue. I've taken Plan B before and each time I received two periods in the same month. How can you be sure I'm not pregnant, and what is causing the cramping without bleeding?

My periods are delayed by 5 days, and I took a pregnancy test which was negative. Should I wait for it to come or take any medication?

I have a blister on the inside of my leg closer to my butt area. I started researching what it could be yesterday and am concerned it might be herpes. I am sexually active and have been with the same partner for a year. I am experiencing mild itching but no burning, pain, or discharge. I am 25 years old and not on any medications. What could this blister be and should I be concerned about herpes?

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum. I am still having bright red bleeding and am passing clots in various sizes but mostly small. Today there appears to be a chunk of gunk when I wiped. Is this normal this far out? Also, when do the sutures typically dissolve if I tore during delivery?
