I’m experiencing vaginal pain and discomfort, along with sores from ingrown hairs, vaginal tearing during sex, nerve pain in the buttocks and legs, and a boil. I’m concerned because I’ve been tested and everything came back negative, but I’m still worried about herpes. What could be causing these symptoms?

Why would spotting in the middle of a cycle only start in my mid-20's, happening 4 cycles in a row now? Is there something wrong possibly?

I am taking Necon .5/35 birth control pills and consistently take them at 1 pm. Today, I took my pill 45 minutes late and had sex relying on the birth control as my contraceptive method. I also want to understand the difference between combination hormone pills and progestin-only pills, and why the directions say to take the pill at the same time each day if it's not strictly necessary.

I am a 22-year-old Paragard copper IUD user for 7 months. I have been experiencing cramps but no bleeding for the past few days, and I noticed some bleeding after intercourse last night. My period routine has been normal but heavier, and I can't feel the IUD strings. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I’ve had a right pelvic ache that radiates to my lower back at times, it feels like my ovary but then it doesn’t, I have a bad coccyx sacral spine but I don’t know if it’s originating from that. I have no pain when I sleep, it starts up when I start walking and moving, my hip doesn’t directly hurt, I can move my hip and leg freely, my periods are normal, no abnormal discharge or bloating, It’s a sore ache from lower back to right lower pelvic area groin area. Some days I’m fine the next it’s bothering me. What do you recommend?
