I'm a bit confused about corpus luteum cysts. I read that they're connected to ovulation and menstruation, and nothing to do with being sexually active, but a gynecologist mentioned to me that it's not possible if you're not sexually active. Can you clarify how they actually develop?

Question

I'm really worried because I took the meningitis B vaccine last month, and soon after I got really sick and had to go to the hospital. I'm 18, and on top of it all, my menstrual cycle seems delayed. I did a pregnancy test and it was negative, so I'm trying to figure out if the vaccine could be affecting my period. Is that a possibility?

Question

I'm having a bit of a concern during sex with my husband. At the start of intercourse, I'm experiencing some biting or stinging sensation near the entrance of my vagina. I've had sex multiple times before and never had this issue. Also, I've noticed a thick white discharge coming from my vagina, not watery at all. After having sex, I noticed a bit of hard blood, like the kind I usually see during my periods. I'm just wondering why this suddenly started happening. Could it be a sign of something?
