I am 23 and have recently started spotting but only during orgasm. I have had my ovaries removed years ago but still have everything else. My most recent PAP was normal. I have no other pain or symptoms. No pain or spotting during or after sex. I am on a daily birth control pill (YAZ) without placebo pills due to ITP. I always have spotting because of the pill but now it's definitely after orgasm. What tests should I ask my gynecologist or internist about?

I am a 50-year-old woman who has always had normal Pap smears and has been in a monogamous relationship for 15 years. My last Pap smear was abnormal, and the HPV test came back positive. Is it possible to contract HPV in a long-term monogamous relationship, and what should I do for follow-up and prevention?

I had sex with my girlfriend and noticed some semen had crawled up the shaft of the condom to about midway. The condom felt snug and there was no noticeable slippage or breakage. How nervous should I be about pregnancy, and is this normal?

I have been experiencing strong headaches, vertigo, anxiety, and irregular periods for the past 3 months. I have developed an intolerance to birth control and plan B within the past 2 years with severe side effects if taken. I am currently waiting for my health insurance to start but am wondering if it sounds like a hormonal imbalance?

My wife is in her 26th week of pregnancy and we need to fly for 5-6 hours from the east coast to the west coast of the USA in two weeks (when she will be in her 28th week of pregnancy). Does it pose more risk for pregnancy to fly at high altitude during the day time (particularly around noon) instead of evening/night time? What kind of risks are associated with flying during pregnancy, especially during take off or landing?

My period was due today and still hasn’t come. I’ve been feeling sick for the past 2 days and extremely tired. I took a test today and it was negative. I had minor cramps earlier today that only lasted about 30 mins to an hour. I only have one Fallopian tube and I’m on birth control. Is it possible I could be pregnant?

I have noticed that the sides of my vagina are purple, and one side seems to have extra skin that is more purple. I have never checked this area before and am unsure if this is normal. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

I need to find a clinic for a termination in Catania, Sicily, and a free abortion clinic in Pozzallo Sicily (the first ferry stop). I am 8.5 weeks since the beginning of my last period.

I have very sensitive nipple pain with minor abdominal pressure, am breaking out badly, and have a different odor when I pee. My period is about 2 weeks away. I do not use contraceptives, my last period began on August 6th, and my last pap test in February 2020 was normal. I have irregular periods ranging from the 6th to the 13th of the month. Could I be pregnant, and what could be causing these symptoms?
