I have been bleeding for 10 days, with periods of light bleeding, heavy gushing with blood clots, and then spotting. The bleeding seems to be getting worse due to the blood clots. I am using birth control, iron pills, B12 shots, and allergy medication, all for over 7 years. I am 5'5" and around 170 pounds, and I usually have a period once every 3 months due to my birth control. What could be causing this irregular and prolonged bleeding, and what can I do about it?

I used shaving cream on my vaginal and anus area and there is a serious reaction. Both sides of my vagina look chafed, my butt crack is pink and itching, and there is a thick, white discharge with a slight smell. When did the itchiness start, and are you currently using any medications?

I am a 24-year-old female. I had sex on 12/1 and 12/2, and had a period on 12/19 that lasted 8 days with light pinkish red bleeding the first day and spotting the rest, brown tinted the last 5 days. My last normal period was on 11/11/20, and I usually get my periods every 38 days. I am now 12 days late. I recently took penicillin for a tooth and have experienced fatigue and bad heartburn for the past week and a half. I had a pregnancy test at the hospital a week and a half ago but don't remember the result. Could I be pregnant, and what could be causing my delayed period?

I am 22 years old, 18 weeks pregnant, and weigh 255 pounds. I have had two early miscarriages and one missed miscarriage where I had to take misoprostol. I have heavy periods and bled heavily after miscarriages, but no dangerous amounts or hemorrhage. I am concerned about postpartum hemorrhage due to my history of heavy bleeding. Does my history of miscarriages lower my risk of postpartum hemorrhage? Is there anything I can do to minimize this risk?

I have been on my period for about 2 weeks now, starting with brown discharge and then a heavy pink/brown flow, and now only brown discharge. I had an IUD (Mirena) placed in February, and I was on birth control pills before that. I've had pregnancy-like symptoms such as fatigue, back pain, and severe cramps, but I thought they were related to the IUD. Additionally, I am experiencing vaginal dryness, itchiness, burning sensations, and occasional blood when I wipe, which is not period blood. I have seen minimal yellow-grey discharge recently. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?
