I've been having this sudden, really sharp pain in my vagina that only lasts a few seconds, but it's happening at least once a day now. On top of that, I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my abdomen. My periods have been all over the place too; sometimes they skip a couple of months, and other times they're on time. It's kind of worrying, and I'm curious to know what's causing this stabbing painit's so intense it leaves me speechless for a moment. Is it like muscle contractions or something?

The sharp, stabbing pain youre experiencing could be due to ovarian cysts, pelvic muscle spasms, or hormonal fluctuations, especially considering your irregular periods. It's important to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough examination and possible imaging to determine the exact cause and manage your symptoms effectively.

Question

I'm supposed to get my period in about three days, but I started having upper stomach pain today. Could this be related to my period? I'm curious why periods cause stomach pain. I'm a 27-year-old woman and would really like to know how to ease this discomfort.

Question

I'm looking for some advice on an issue my spouse and I are facing. We've been married for six years and have a five-year-old daughter. We were apart for a while due to work, so we really haven't had regular penetrative sex in a bit. Now, when we're trying to get back into it, my spouse says she feels irritation in her vagina during penetration, even though we have a lot of foreplay and she's wet before we start. It's causing us to have trouble having intercourse. Should we be using a lubrication gel or is there any other remedy you'd suggest?

Question

My girlfriend and I are really worried. Her last period started on March 1st and we had unprotected sex on March 17th. She took an emergency contraception pill just three hours after. Now, weeks later, she's missed her period, and we've taken three pregnancy tests, which all came back positive. She's also been experiencing stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting. What should we do?
