My vaginal area is swollen and sore for the past 3 days. I had rough/vigorous sex recently, and the swelling started immediately after. I have no vaginal itching, no burning sensation with urination, and a white discharge that is not like cottage cheese. I have no medications and am 17 years old. What could be the reason for the swelling, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I am having burning and discharge for the past 2 months (intermittently). The discharge started in the second week of May, went away, and came back over the past couple of weeks. It is green/yellow and sometimes bloody, with no noticeable odor but accompanied by burning. My last period started and ended normally, and my periods are pretty regular. I am 33 years old, have had no new sexual partners, and use Phexxi as birth control. I have an exam scheduled for 7/6 but am concerned since this is the second week this has been going on. Could this be an infection, and what should I do?

I experienced a sharp, painful popping sensation near my left ovary for about a minute or more. The pain only lasted for a minute and I am not managing it with any medications. I am 22 years old and take Sertraline for anxiety/depression and Propranolol for migraines. I have a family history of endometriosis and very bad menstrual cycles. Should I be worried?

I was off birth control for a year and just started back up 4 months ago. Since restarting, every month I've had heavy breakthrough bleeding a week before I'm supposed to take my sugar pills. What should I do?

I was on the last day of my period and my boyfriend rubbed his penis near my vaginal area. I still had some brown bleeding from my cycle. Should I take Plan B? I am 21, not on any medications, have regular periods, and experience anxiety and stress due to college. I am also concerned about the side effects of birth control and its impact on my hormones. What should I do?
