I've been experiencing irregular bleeding for the past 10 days, with periods that last a half day to 2 days, stop for a day, then start again. I also had brown discharge for 2-3 weeks post-period for the last couple of months. I'm 35 years old, not pregnant, and my last period started on December 21st. My periods are usually about every 5 weeks. What could be causing this irregular bleeding, and what should I do?

I’ve been having a brown discharge for one day, my period isn’t until the end of the month and I have no other symptoms. It doesn’t hurt to urinate or to have sex. I’m not sure what it could be and I’m just worried. Does the discharge have a noticeable odor? How would you describe its texture? When was your last period? Does it come regularly? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I'm 51 and have been on combination HRT for about a year. I recently had a large cervical polyp removed with forceps, followed by a second smaller polyp treated with silver nitrate. After the procedure, I experienced heavy bleeding, cramping, and passing clots with bright red and dark brown discharge. Is this heavy bleeding and cramping within the realm of what one could expect after having this procedure, and how long is too long?

I have a hard, sore lump on my outer right vaginal lip. It hurts when you push on it. There is no blister or head on it. I've had clogged oil ducts before on the lower part of the vaginal lip. Could this be the same thing?

I had sex with my husband on our vacation. Afterward, I experienced burning and slight bleeding when I pee, which has persisted for three days. We were having dry sex. What does this mean, and how can I fix it without going to the doctor?
