I forgot to take my birth control pills on the first Saturday of the first week and the first Sunday of the second week. On Monday of the 2nd week, I took the Monday’s pill only. I have been bleeding since then for 2 weeks. I started a new pack two days ago and skipped the last week of my old pack. What should I do? Should I continue taking the pills from the new pack or stop?

I had a mammogram about a month ago. I still have pain from the compression needed to get a good view of my breast. I have never experienced this problem before. Is this a rare but normal side effect of the mammogram?

I've had 2 breast ultrasounds and have a mass that went from .5 x .3 x .6 to .3 x .6 x .5. I am 25 years old and have been concerned about this for over a year. I am using 150mg of Effexor, 40mg of Verapamil twice a day, and an Albuterol inhaler. I have a history of asthma, SVT, and anxiety. I have a family history of breast cancer, started my periods at age 13, am married but have no children, and do not smoke. The mass is causing some swelling and pain, but there is no skin change, rash, nipple retraction, or swelling in the armpit. What could this mass be, and what should I do next?

I just confirmed I am pregnant and want to remove it. How many weeks am I? What are all the medications I'm using? Am I taking any vitamins? How old am I? Is there anything else in my medical history the Doctor should know?

I had sex with a prostitute using a condom, but after ejaculation, she wiped my penis with wet wipes, and I suspect her vaginal fluid might have been on her hand. I developed a fever 10 days later. Do I need to worry about HIV or other infections?
