I went twice, both were female doctors and knew it was my 1st and 2nd time and they were as careful as possible..it was so painful that I cried during the examination and the pain lasted for hours afterwards...both doctors said there was nothing wrong with me...and the 1st time I was actually really relaxed, because I believed all those women saying that it doesn´t hurt and wasn´t expecting any pain...please tell me I am not the only one...

I get get hungry after one to two hours. I get really painful stomach aches sometimes and im not sure why. I don't eat breakfast sometimes, but the stomach pains are usually after i eat dinner. The stomach hurt in the stomach area and sometimes in the upper abdomin. I think that that it might be more than one type of stomach pain. I usually feel better after eating. I get full easily but i eat more than i need. No matter how much i eat i still get hunger soon after. When im hungry, i get pale and my skin gets translucent so that you could almost see my veins. I was wondering if anyone knows why i get hungry so easily and what the stomach pains are.

I've had a few people say that I probably have this from the traumatic situations I've been in. (Like from years of abuse and being sexualy harrassed)

Basically, I'm sixteen, and even though I'm not completely unfortunate looking or weird, I still haven't had a boyfriend, let alone many friends. I really feel like I've been missing out, and I don't want to leave high school with regrets. So my questions are: Do the medications really work? What ones are best? And how can I deal with this on my own in the mean time?

My brother in law is having a romantic relationship with a patient that he is treating. He continues to see the patient on a professional level.

Is he ethically obliged to stop matters now, or can love take its course?

By the way, he is a vet.

Three weeks ago, I got my period and it was unusually light.. I usually start very heavy, lots of cramps, etc. But this time, there was no pain and not all too much blood.

Halfway through the week the blood started congealing and becoming brown early.. I thought it was just an unusually light period.

It's three weeks later now and ever since one week after my period started, the blood has been becoming blacker and coming out very, VERY little at a time. Now it either comes out in flecks of brown, is relatively fresh and looks like small drops of blood a few hours old, or significantly resembles tar and is very sticky.

I'm still a teenager and my friends say it could be my hormones going crazy, but after three weeks of it I'm becoming wary and want to know if I should go get it checked out.
