My period is not running as usual, I have pain cramps, and I feel like my inside is hurting and like my uterus is coming out. I am not using any contraceptives, and this started a few days ago when I had my period. I had my last pap test in 2017, and there is no unusual smell, but sometimes I see small blood clots. I am 39 years old, and my last period was on April 24. I have it now, but it is not running as usual, and I feel like pushing. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I am not getting my periods and it's due for 2 months. My last period began on 13th November 2021. I am not using contraceptives or any other medications except thyroid medication for a thyroid problem. I had a miscarriage in April 2021, which led to irregular periods. I took 21-day tablets from June to September 2021 as per doctor's prescription and stopped the medication in October. Currently, I am only taking thyroid medication. I took a pregnancy test at home on 10th January 2022, which was negative. Sometimes I feel mild pain and cramps in the lower abdomen. What could be the cause of my missed periods, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

My girlfriend is pregnant, about three weeks along. She is on antidepressants (Prestiq), Klonopin, and smokes cigarettes. She is very nervous and doesn't want to go to a doctor due to social anxiety. What should she do about her medications and how can she best manage her pregnancy?

I’ve been dealing with a yeast infection type problem for over two and a half weeks. It has been up and down. I took fluconazole, then my period happened, and I did a boric acid suppository this week. I am 33 years old and have no other significant medical history. Can you prescribe medicine?

I have been experiencing vaginal bleeding for the last 3 days. My periods are typically regular, and my last period began on July 24 and ended on July 26. I started bleeding again on August 10, and my expected period for this month should be around August 21. I have not taken any emergency contraceptive pills, and the bleeding is red in color without blood clots. I have not had a blood pregnancy test, but a urine pregnancy test done at the ER was negative. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should I do?

I am not on birth control and usually get my period on the 1st of each month, but I am bleeding two weeks after my last period. It is not possible that I am pregnant, and the blood is dark red. Should I be worried about getting my period twice in one month? I have no contraceptives, and the bleeding started yesterday. I tested positive for BV two months ago and was treated with antibiotics. I take anxiety medicine and skin medication. I have dropped about 12 lbs since April and was away on a trip with a less regular routine, including not eating as healthy, not walking as much, and drinking. Could this lifestyle change have caused the bleeding?
