Health - 24 November 2006

I am a 20 year sophmore in college. I only do 13 credit hours of school. I am always finding it hard to get up in the mornings for classes and as soon as I am done with class I go right back to sleep. I go to bed really early every night usually around 9 or 10. I have been on the Depo shot for 6 months now, but I was always tired before. I dont like to drive because I always feel like I will fall asleep at the wheel. Can any one help me?

Hmm, okay so here it is. I'm an 18 year old girl who never used a tampon. They basically freak me out, I mean, I tried, but it hurts a LOT. My questions are:

1. how big should your vaginal opening be if you are a virgin? I have this like flesh stuff covering up the entire area, but when pressure is exterted, you can see two small holes. Like straw sized.
2. Should you be able to see the opening, in a relaxed position? I cannot see mine. You actually have to exert pressure on it (and it isn't all that easy) for my finger to glide in just one inch.
3. I have like two small openings, is that normal?
4. Will it hurt a lot when I have intercourse? I mean, I can't even comfortably get two fingers in there, AT ALL. I want to save the special day for my wedding night.....but I dont want to be a mess wither though :(

I'd appreciate any help. Sorry, but I just dont know what "normal" is when it comes to female genitalia and want to make sure everything is okay.

I'm a 17 years old girl. I really don't know what to do anymore, I can't seem to do anything right. I have a few friends, I also have horrible grades. I'm failing almost all of them, and I don't understand why because I used to be very good in school. I'm in 12th grade which means I'm supposed to go to the university next year, but I don't know if I'll be able to go anymore. My parents also always yell at me and doesn't seem to care about me. They never let me do ANYTHING. I've never had a boyfriend and boys just don't like me.
I don't know what to do anymore...

I was diagnosed with a fibroid tumor over two years ago. The thing has gotten bigger over time and is now starting to look like the early stages of a pregnancy,. I cannot wear any of my cute little dresses anymore because the stomach bulge from the tumor is embarassing.
I haven't been to the obgyn in two years because I do not have very good health insurance and it is very expensive. The last time I did go she just told me that as long as I am not having any complications from it, than there is nothing I should do about it. I am starting to become embarassed with the way that I look and I want to get rid of it. I have done some online research about it but it talks about having surgery or getting pills to shrink it. Surgery is too expensive and I can't afford it and the pills seem like a gimmick.
Is there anything that I can do to rid mysel of this ugly tumor?? Help
I am only 30 and I do not want to have to dress like an old lady.

My mom bought some Alkerselzer (sp?) and it doesn't say that it is drowsy; but both my brother and her took it and they went to sleep. Shouldn't medicine say when they are drowsy and if so where is it supposed to be on the label?

I was just wondering, because I once had one on one of my lymph nodes. I remember that it sort of felt like a little hard knot. Does it look sort of like a stone or a calcium deposit or what?

I heard that in addition to the breathing patterns, you are also supposed to clench your sphincter and pull in your abs. I find this very difficult to do along with the controlled breathing. I think it's called 'root lock' or 'bandah'. Is this necessary?

I've been reading other peoples' questions about pimples or pimple-like things on their privates, but no one was very specific about where these things were occuring.

I have something that looks like a pimple. There is just one of it. It is right on the middle of my perenium (that's the flat skin between the scrotum and the anus).

I tried to squeeze it like I usually do with the occasional pimples I get elsewhere on my body (thighs, face, etc) but I can't squeeze anything out of it.
It is white, so that's why I thought it was a pimple.

It is almost like a little piece of my skin that is dangling off. It feels very attached. I kind of want to just tear it off but I'm afraid that would really hurt.

I don't think it is an STD because I don't have very much sex and I always use protection, and I've never gotten any other STDs, and this doesn't seem to match the decriptions i have read of genital warts or anything like that.

I've had this for several weeks now.
Any ideas what it is??
