I’ve been having lower abdomen cramps on and off for about a week, unrelated to my period. The cramps have been constant for the past two days, starting as soon as I wake up and lasting all day. I’m not bleeding or spotting, and my period is regular. What could be causing these cramps, and should I get them checked?

I had unprotected sex on multiple occasions and the condom broke last night, but there was no ejaculation. My last period was from July 4 to 9. I have light cramping, sore breasts, and back pain. My period is a couple of days late. Should I take Plan B, and if so, will it still be effective? What could be causing my period to be late, and should I be concerned about pregnancy or other health issues?

I have been spotting since June 14th, with days of less or no spotting and other days with a little more than spotting. My last normal period started on May 4th. I have experienced a little stomach pain and nausea. I have a medical history of diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease, and a fibroid that usually causes heavy bleeding rather than spotting. What could be causing the spotting and what should I do?

I tested positive for pregnancy and started bleeding the next day. I went to the doctor and tested negative. What could have caused this and what should I know about the bleeding and future pregnancies?

I am experiencing severe pain during sex, which started a week ago. The pain is localized in the vagina/vulva area and is described as sharp, achey, and burning. I was previously treating a UTI with Azo and have been taking ibuprofen for menstrual cramps. I am 22 years old, my cycles are regular, and I am not on any birth control. My period started on the second of this month and is currently on day 5. I have not seen a doctor yet, but I am concerned about the pain and swelling during sex.

I am 6 months postpartum and my period came back at 6 weeks postpartum. This month I had my period 3 times, and the current bleeding is particularly heavy. I have been to my GP twice, but he's refusing any testing and telling me to just wait and see. I also discovered a small round hard lump in my right vaginal wall, which my GP examined and said to wait and see if it gets bigger but is not a concern. The lump has been the same, with no pain at touch, only discomfort, and I often have pain during intercourse. I am not taking any medications. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?
