The time before last when I had sex, it made my period come early, starting right during intercourse. This last time, I had sex and experienced bleeding a few hours later, which is 5 days early. Can I be pregnant even if my period comes? Could it be miscarriage signs? What could be causing this, and what is your advice?

My period ended last week and on two occasions I have had some very light, bright red spotting. I am 47 years old. I am also experiencing some twinging pain in my cervix. I had a colposcopy in September 2007 and a very minute abnormal pap. Any advice?

I was just diagnosed with a fibroid tumor the size of a 4-month-old fetus. I am 52 and have been in menopause for six years. The doctor said I will need a partial hysterectomy, leaving my ovaries due to the size and the fact that the tumor is trying to fall apart, causing some bleeding. This surgery would be performed by a scope if all goes well. I'm more afraid that if the procedure didn't work, I would undergo the full surgery and then later have bladder problems. Do you have any advice for me?

I keep getting recurring yeast infections. This is my 5th one in the past two months. No matter what I do, it keeps coming back. I've had yeast infections when I was young but would get them maybe once a year or less. I've been dealing with this on and off for almost 2 months now. It goes away then comes back. I haven't had a pap test or pelvic exam in 4 years and need to find a place to go to in my area that will take me without health insurance. My kidneys were inflamed and a cyst burst on one of them before these yeast infections started occurring, and I was taking antibiotics and pain medications for that. What can be done to prevent these recurring yeast infections?

I have a boil-like nodule that I initially thought was an infected ingrown hair. When it opened, it discharged blood and hard blood-colored particles instead of pus. The nodule is located near the vaginal area and has been bleeding intermittently for a day or two. What could this be and what has caused it?

I'm a 21-year-old female and I have been spotting between periods for 2 months. Initially, I thought it was ovulation spotting, but now I'm spotting again 6 days before my next period. Is this something serious?
