Health - 25 September 2006

I am 40 years old. Even though my kids are grown up, My vaginal muscles are very slack. I have incontenience when I jump up and down or sneeze. My poor husband has put up with this loosness for years, and I dont have much, actually, no feeling in there. What is the best method, devices out there. I tried the usual after birth home exercises but to no avail. Please Help.

I stopped using birth control pills about 3 months ago. I got my first cycle 1 week early, I got my second cycle 1 1/2 weeks late, and now my third cycle is one week late again! I have been using condoms and have been as careful as can be. My boyfriend ejaculated and got some on his hand, so he washed it off and then fingered me. I saw he has only washed his hands with water and tapped them dry. Could I still be pregnant? I feel like I am PMSing like I always do, but I also know that pregnancy symptoms are almost the same as PMS symptoms. I have ordered some preg. tests online. I just want to know is it normal to have my cycles disturbed after stopping birth control even 3 mos later? (I was on it for almost 2 yrs) Could I be pregnant b/c my boyfriend only washed his hand with water amd lightly tapped it dry bfore fingering me?? I really hope this is all a big scare! I am 21 (and dont want to be pregnant!)

I am a 33 y/o old male and tend to go to the toilet a lot to pass water. I do drink quite a lot of fluid in a day like tea, coffee, coke etc ...but within 20 mins of finishing a drink I have to go to the toilet! I suppose you could say 'dont drink too much then' but I dont feel that that's the answer as I am told a male bladder can hold half a litre.

Is there anything the doctor can prescribe to sort this problem out ?

I asked a question about a month ago about being treated for endo with birth control. I began spotting and it continued for three weeks. Dr. said that I am not responding to the birth control as it was prescribed and she scheduled a laporoscopy and DNC October 5th. She said that she will cartarize anything she see's in there.
What should I expect?

I had a laporoscopy to remove my appendix 5 years ago...and it was not a fun procedure...could be the appendix part of it??

Please give me any ideas, hints, ways to get relief and actually relax while off from work. Oh, could I be at risk of being infertile?

Lots of questions....Thanks Ladies!

I apologize if this is spelled all wrong...spell check didn't give me the "hook up". :)

Currently taking 2250mg of ascorbic acid (powder), 10 MSM capsules, 3-1000mg fish oil capsules, 1-200mcg selenium tablet, and one daily multi-vitamin daily. I try to eat at least two meals a day, but sometimes I can't even keep it all down. My stools and occasional vomit usually consist of excess bile. Alternative therapy doctor has seen me for the last 3 months, knows of all my current problems, realizes I'm in the middle of a flare. Unfortunately, I've been flaring for more than a month now, and frankly, I'm getting tired of it. He says to give it time, it will pass, continue taking supplements, rest, etc. He says he'll prescribe me steroids, but I have serious problems with taking them.

Is there anything that has worked for you, personally, to bring yourself out of a flare quicker?

I've asked this before but I'm looking for more answers. I have given my boyfriend oral sex four times now. The second to last time we did it my throat started to hurt about an hour later. Then we did it again a week later and my throat was hurting worse but it had been gradually getting worse all week. He doesn't have any STDs or anything like that, we are positive. Could I be getting sick from this or is it just a cold going around?

I've noticed for about a week and a half that when I am in the shower washing my hair a lot of it comes out.

While I wash it, I can actually run my fingers through my hair and pull out about 10 strands. It's freaking me out!!! I've made an appt. with the doctor for this Thursday, but I was wondering if this has happend to any other women out there?

Thanks for your feedback!!

I took a plug out of the socket today and got shocked. My hands weren't wet or anything, so not really sure why. Is it harmful to get shocked?

So we all know that Eddie Van Halen has/had cancer and he is recently divorced (or separated) from his wife, Valerie. Apparently he has been drinking a lot and not taking the best care himself but why do so many people criticize him, his appearance and what he does? He is a human being who just happens to be dealing with a ton of issues and knowing a person who is dealing with or lost their life to cancer - I get sick of radio DJ's and thousands of other cancer-free people make light of what he is going through. I believe he needs counselling and will make it through this and hopefully make a good spokesperson about surviving cancer.

I've kissed several girls throughout my life. None of which was exciting to me. The feel of her toung in my throught was an immediate turn off. Any other sexual contacts with girls is extremely erotic to me. I am have lost my virginity to a girl and enjoyed it very much, so... why not kissing? Is sonething wrong with me?
