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?

My mom is 62 years old and had no period since 2008. She started seeing 1 to 2 brown discharges once a month for the past 3 months, which have been light to yellow. She is not using any contraceptives, has no sexual intercourse, and is only taking diabetes medication (Metformin). She had normal pap smear and other tests in February 2020. What could be causing the discharge, and what tests or treatments should she consider?

I have had 3 miscarriages in the past year and am currently 5 weeks pregnant. My hCG levels are more than doubling, and I had a fetal pole and heartbeat at 6 weeks. However, I am concerned about not having morning sickness and the safety of having sex during this pregnancy. Should I be worried about these factors, and what should I do next?
