My period usually lasts 3 to 4 days, but this time it has lasted more than a week, and some of the blood is very red and not dark as it usually is. I use birth control pills and have been for many years, but this has never happened before. I started taking them for acne. Recently, my medical tests showed low iron and vitamin D levels.

I have been experiencing abnormal bleeding for over a week, which started light and then got heavier, with cramps mainly in my ovaries. I normally have regular periods that last no longer than 4 days. I am 26 years old, sexually active, and not using any contraceptives. My last pap test was two years ago when I was pregnant, and it came back abnormal, but they said that's common in pregnant women. I have no other significant medical history. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should I do?

Every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I get a BV infection with yellow discharge. I haven't had sex in 6 months and tested negative for BV during that time. I recently started sleeping with him again and the issue began. I've been using boric acid to clear the discharge, but it comes back. How do I stop getting BV infections after sex?
