I have experienced a heavy menstrual flow for 26 days, filling a super plus tampon every couple of hours. I have never had a period last longer than 7 or 8 days. I am 42 years old, not using contraceptives, and taking medications for a decade. I have iron deficiency anemia, fibromyalgia, GERD, and IBS. What could be causing this prolonged and heavy bleeding, and what should I do?

My fiancée, Sarah, is experiencing white/yellow discharge, urinary urgency/frequency, and constant pain 3 inches below her belly button, along with constipation and loss of appetite. She recently engaged in a threesome and is worried about potential STDs or other infections. What could be causing these symptoms and should we be concerned about more serious conditions like ovarian cancer?

I have a swollen lump on the right side of my pubic area. It was initially thought to be an ingrown hair but went away and has now reappeared, being more swollen and painful. The lump is about the size of a lima bean, sore to the touch, and I've been experiencing nausea. What could this be and what should I do?

I had an abortion a month ago. When I took a urine pregnancy test, it still shows one vivid line and a very faint line. I still haven't got my period yet. Is it possible that another pregnancy has occurred? Is it safe to have an abortion again?
