My last period was around 12/5/22, and it is now 18 days late. I've taken pregnancy tests which have been negative, and I have no pregnancy symptoms. I use VCF gel for contraception and have a history of hypoglycemia with seizures when glycerin levels are very low. What could be causing the delayed period, and what steps can I take to address it?

I'm experiencing a 2nd degree prolapse, and my period has stopped. I'm wondering if it may be caused by the prolapse. I'm 28 years old, not using any contraception, and have had no sexual activity or chance of pregnancy. I've had symptoms like abdominal or back pain, dizziness, breast tenderness, and nausea, but no fever. What could be causing my period to stop, and are there any health concerns if this continues for months?

I have a yellow discharge and some lower back pain. The lower back pain has been bothering me for about a week. The pain is dull and achy. I thought I had a yeast infection about a week ago and used Monistat, but the itching stopped, and the discharge didn't. I'm 56 and no longer have a period. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a question regarding pregnancy symptoms. My last period was three weeks ago, and I had unprotected sex several times last week. I took a pregnancy test earlier than recommended, so the result might not be accurate. I am currently experiencing bleeding five days before my next period is due, and I am concerned. What could this bleeding be, and when should I test again for pregnancy?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and used a carpet cleaner containing 2-butoxyethanol, which I had on my hands for several hours. I am concerned about potential teratogenic effects from this exposure. What is my realistic risk from this exposure (inhalation and direct skin contact with diluted cleaner for several hours)? Should I be worried about birth defects? If so, which ones and when will I be able to know if they've occurred?

My daughter, who is 14 years old, has been experiencing extreme fatigue, difficulty attending school, light and noise sensitivities, vision problems, lightheadedness, and regular upset stomachs for over a year. She was diagnosed with POTS and dysautonomia, has slow eye reaction times, a high heart rate when walking, and issues with balance. She used to dance 5 days a week but now can't play a full Ringette game without needing rest. She is currently taking only iron. Where should I be referred to rule out Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
