I am experiencing vaginal itching, redness, and soreness for a couple of days after having sex. There is no abnormal discharge, but I do feel a burning sensation when urinating. I have been on Depo for over 3 years and just came off it. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I keep experiencing bleeding in between periods and a constant burning sensation in my vagina. I had a C-section a year ago, and my periods have become heavier and more frequent recently. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take?

I have persistent pain in my right breast, which is also sagging lower than my left breast. The pain is achey, and my nipple feels sore. I am 33 years old, not taking any medications, and my mother had uterine cancer while my siblings had benign breast tumors. What could be causing this pain and asymmetry, and what should I do about it?

I have PCOS/insulin resistance and my prescription for metformin is up. My OB/GYN has not returned my calls in over two weeks. Since stopping the medication, I have gained weight back despite working out and eating healthy. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, but it's not related to my current condition. I am not trying to get pregnant within the next few years, and my periods are irregular but consistent. I was a healthy 135 pounds before this diagnosis and have struggled with weight gain for 3+ years, now weighing 174 pounds. I am concerned about the recent controversy surrounding metformin. Should I be worried about its safety, and is there an alternative medication I could consider?

My cycle was 12 days late, and when my period returned on Monday 3/22/21, it has been very heavy. Could this be a miscarriage, especially since I have an IUD (Paraguard) that just expired last month, and I've had it in for ten years?
