I have been experiencing pelvic pain for years, which now hurts when I sneeze, cough, or after an orgasm, and sometimes when I tighten the area. My last pap test was in October 2019, with an irregular result but no colposcopy yet. I am on birth control and citalopram. What could be causing this pain, and what tests should I undergo?

I'm having menstrual problems that I believe might be from my birth control, specifically the Nexplanon implant in my arm. My last period started on May 24th, and I have been bleeding and spotting since then. My cycles have been normal since I got the Nexplanon in December 2020, until May. I am also on spironolactone and I'm 21. What issues are you having and at what point should I be concerned if the bleeding does not stop?

I am having irritation and burning pain inside my vagina, along with an unusual smell, for the past 3-4 days. I suspect it might be due to a condom, but even after switching to a non-latex one, the symptoms persist. What should I do to alleviate these symptoms?

I have been bleeding for 10 days after stopping birth control and taking an emergency contraceptive. The bleeding has gotten heavier since last night. Should I go see a doctor?

I am experiencing very heavy bleeding (need double protection, changing every hour, bleeding through clothing) with large clots (size larger than a tampon) for the past 6 months, which is getting worse. I am 46 years old, not on any medications, and had my last normal period over 6 months ago. I have lower abdominal pain off and on, and my last gynecological exam was over 4 years ago with just a regular routine exam. I have not tried anything to stop the bleeding other than using tampons and pads. What could be causing this and what should I do?
