My period is 1 day late, and I took an HCG test this morning which was negative. I am experiencing lower back pain, extreme fatigue, and new gas pains. My cycles are usually 28 days, and I typically get severe pre-menstrual cramps starting 7 days before my cycle, but I didn't get them this time. Could these symptoms indicate pregnancy, and what should I do next?

I have been experiencing constipation for about 5 months, followed by severe diarrhea and pain after taking a laxative. I had a CT scan and colonoscopy 2 months ago, both of which were clear. I visited the emergency department, but was dismissed. I still have nausea, occasional stomach pain, and am passing a lot of gas. I am concerned about potential bowel damage or obstruction. What should I do?

I just found out I'm pregnant, probably around 6 weeks, and I've been having off and on mild aching on my right side but no bleeding. My prenatal visit is a couple of weeks out. The pain has been stable and bearable, mostly constant today but previously off and on, especially when I'm in bed or at work. I took Excedrin a few days ago for a bad headache but otherwise don't take any medications. I'm 24 years old and have no other medical conditions. The pain is dull and stable, localized to one spot on my right side, and I have a little nausea in the morning that subsides after eating. No bleeding, urinary issues, or other symptoms. What could be causing this pain and should I be concerned?

I've been having really painful cramps for the past week and I'm not on my period. I frequently experience cramping that lasts for about 20 seconds. My last period was two weeks ago and it was two weeks early. I'm not taking anything specifically for the cramps but I am on Vivance for school on weekdays. I am 18 years old. My last period started on August 29th and ended on October 2nd. I've lost a couple of pounds and experienced some bloating. The cramps feel like period cramps but 10x worse. I had burning and pain during urination a couple of weeks ago, which was helped by Azo pills. The pain is in my lower abdomen. I've been having a lot of sex lately, which might be contributing to the pain.

What could be causing my discharge to be white and then slightly yellow, with a noticeable odor and thick texture, especially since I've had chlamydia, BV, and yeast infections in the past, and I recently had unprotected sex with a new partner whose test results for STDs were negative?

I have recently experienced extreme pain and sores all over my genitals, starting with tender pain and burning. I have one sore on the lip of my vagina and multiple sores now, causing extreme pain and discomfort, making it hard to walk. I have taken Tylenol but no other medications. I have a bit of discharge, slight burning while passing urine, and am experiencing stress. What could be causing this and what should I do?
