I’ve been experiencing an unusually long menstrual period, sometimes just spotting and sometimes a light flow, for almost 4 weeks. I am overweight, stressed, and 23 years old with no history of uterine problems. I am not using any contraceptives, and the bleeding started around mid-December. I have never had a Pap test and have not noticed any swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells. I was hospitalized in August with meningitis and have gained about 15 pounds in the past year. My periods used to be pretty regular, and I’m on 30mg Cymbalta daily for anxiety disorder, which I’ve been taking for the past 6 years.

I've been dealing with an odor and white discharge in my private area for a few months. I've tried probiotics but they haven't helped. I've never had a Pap test before and have been sexually active with one person. Sometimes I experience itching but no pain or burning when I pee. I avoid using soaps in that area when I shower. Can you help me make it go away fully?

I’ve always had regular periods up until some months ago and they started lasting for a full month and this is the third month long period that I’ve had and then I’ll be off for a few days and then a few days later I’ll start again. I was on birth control for pain but it didn’t work so they took me off and then I got a shot that is supposed to completely stop your period. Are you using any medications, either for the pain or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I’ve had a thick yellow discharge with itching and an odor. I first thought I had a yeast infection with the itching but the symptoms are more common with trichomoniasis. Would you possibly be able to give advice for treatment?

I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection and took Monistat 1, but it's still there. How long have you dealt with the yeast infection? Is this issue stable or getting worse? When did you start using Monistat? Has it helped at all? Do you have a white discharge that has a consistency like cottage cheese? Do you have vaginal itching/swelling/soreness? Do you get a pain/burning sensation with urination? Is there a strong fishy odor? Are you currently on any regular medications? May I know your age?

I have been experiencing long gaps between periods, 3-6 months per cycle, for nearly 2 years. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and my last period began on 27th September. I am 27 years old, have had consistent weight but recently gained about 5kg, and have been with my boyfriend for 7.5 years. I get mild acne but nothing too serious. I was on birth control but came off it 2 years ago, which is when I noticed irregular periods. I had an abnormal smear and had the cells removed last year in June. What could be causing these long gaps between periods, and what should I do about it?
