Elena, a 49-year-old teaching teacher, discovered that abnormal vaginal bleeding was the first sign of her problem during a routine physical examination. Joanna, a 32-year-old painting art gallery, had a boyfriend who was deeply in love with her, and every time they had sex, she felt scorching pain. Renee, a girl who used drugs, already had three children in an orphanage, yet she became pregnant again.
