I am a 40-year-old woman with a history of irregular periods and vaginal discharge since 12/20/22. I have experienced blood in my vaginal secretion and missed my period this cycle. I took a negative pregnancy test and have been using blood pressure control medication for two years. What could be causing these symptoms, and do I need to take antibiotics for an infection?

I have been sick for months with symptoms including belly pain, frequent urination, constipation, lower back pain, a puffy belly, and nausea. I take nausea and pain medicine. I recently discovered I have a fibroid on the outside of my uterus, which was not detected by ultrasound. Do you think this fibroid is causing all my symptoms?

I got off my depo shot in July and started having normal periods until the end of November. Now I've had 5 periods in the last 6 weeks. I'm experiencing heavy bleeding, severe cramps, and occasional fatigue. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a Mirena IUD and haven't had a menstrual cycle in over 10 years. Today, I suddenly started experiencing severe cramps and heavy bleeding. I'm 35 years old, had an emergency C-section in 2010, and took Ibuprofen today for the pain, but it's not helping. What could be causing this and what should I do?
