My period won't stop. I've been using Nexplanon for almost 8 years, and this is my 3rd time with it. My last period began in June and has been constant since then. I'm 25 years old, not sexually active, and overall healthy. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding, and what should I do?

I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection. I noticed it the day before yesterday and it's been the same since. I took an over-the-counter one-day medicine for it. I'm 27 and have no other medical history. I'm experiencing burning, itching, vaginal discomfort, and white, thick, odorless vaginal discharge, but it's not coming out on its own. How do I get the discharge out and what else can I do for relief?

My partner and I have been unable to have sex for the past month because every time he puts his penis inside, I get sharp, stinging pain on the inside of the top of my vagina. The pain has been stable, and there is no bleeding during sex. I have the Mirena IUD for a year and have had surgery to diagnose endometriosis. The pain started before my recent period, and I had some cramps due to endometriosis. I have no abnormal vaginal discharge, but there might be a slight odor. I do not experience pain with urination. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I have constant recurring thrush and take probiotics every day. When I feel the start of thrush coming along, I take the Diflucan tablet, but it seems my body is used to this drug and not helping me anymore. I haven’t had thrush in about 2/3 months and it’s back again, but I used to get it every month without a doubt. I’m 20 and I started using Diflucan about 2 or so years ago. I am on the contraceptive pill, which when I researched, does say things about being on that. What are my symptoms? What are the investigations done?
