I am 18 years old and have been experiencing a burning sensation in my vagina for one day, which has been on and off for about a week. I am currently being treated for a UTI with sulfamethoxazole. I am not sexually active and not on any birth control. I am experiencing above-normal amounts of discharge, which is white and jelly-like, but does not smell or look abnormal. I am also curious about when it is appropriate to have a first OBGYN visit and your thoughts on masturbation.

I went off birth control a little over a week ago and am experiencing some weird discharge. The discharge started today and is a creamy color, pale brownish/yellow, with no strong odor. My last period ended about a week ago and is regular. I have a history of chlamydia but tested negative twice, and a history of BV. What could be causing this discharge and should I be concerned?

Is it normal to have sore breasts and vaginal discharge four weeks after a medical abortion, and what should I do if I suspect the abortion was not fully successful?

I was supposed to get my period today, but I've been experiencing cramps since yesterday and very faint spotting, but no actual blood. I've lost about 10 pounds recently, my diet has been poor, and I've been under stress. I've also used emergency contraception twice in the last three days and have been taking Diane 35, but not always at the same time. Additionally, I've been feeling a weird tingling sensation every time I use the bathroom, which has become more frequent. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have been experiencing new and irregular periods, including spotting or bleeding for a week, while my usual period lasts only 4 days. I am 21 years old, do not use contraceptives, and have noticed irregularity since February, possibly related to an abortion in January. My last period started on April 25th and ended on April 28th. I have mild cramps and clots with bleeding. I have not experienced any significant weight changes. What could be causing this irregularity and what can I do about it?
