I haven't had sex in 3 years and tried to recently, but penetration was extremely painful and impossible to continue. The pain is sharp. I'm 56 years old, easily get urinary infections, and had a hysterectomy at age 28. Are there any other symptoms or medical history the doctor should know about?

I have an IUD in for 10 months and am experiencing sudden severe cramps. I have endometriosis and have been having mild cramps on and off during my period, but nothing this serious since the IUD. My last period was on January 6 and it was pretty regular. I am 39 years old and not taking any medications. The cramps started an hour ago and are consistent and really painful. I have been having my period regularly with mild spotting and cramps, but these cramps came on suddenly and haven't stopped. There is no bleeding or discharge, and the pain is in my entire lower abdomen. I have slight nausea, no fever, and slight constipation. What could be causing these severe cramps and what should I do?

I want to talk to a gynecologist about trying to get pregnant. I am 19 years old, my last period was from November 6-8, and I am not using any medications. My cycle length is between 21-25 days, and my period was 5 days before I got on birth control, but now it's only 3 days after being off birth control for 9 months. Can I still get pregnant with a 3-day cycle? Should I take prenatal vitamins, and if so, what kind? When should I take them, and does it matter the time of day? Also, when is my fertile window, and how do I know if I can have a baby?

I have a personal question about a spot that’s by my vagina but not inside the vagina. It is about the size of a golf ball and is tender to the touch. I’m not having any discharge or odor from my vagina. How long have you been concerned about the spot? What symptoms do you have? Are you using any medications, either for the spot or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
