My doctor says I should tough it out. Is there no more serious effect from the swelling? I don't want to put up with this, and find out in a year from now that I have to have my foot cut off!

This si really really embarassing but I really need help in what to do. I;m going to be living in a dorm soon and Ill have to shower in the dorm's shower which is basically a publis bathroom. At hoem theres a trashcan and a toilet etc. near the shower so i dont have to worry about "leaks" before I get dressed and out of the bathroom. But the dorm showers are going to be different. What are you supposed to do when your in a public shower, theres no trashcan or toilet near you and you cant just walk outta the shower risking "leaks" on teh floor....this is really embarassing and maybe gross but I really need help in how I should ahndle this

I have recently had a second pelvic scan to see if they scan find a reason to why I'm having all this pain and problems. The first scan I did have came back normal and so did the laproscopy, But since then my situation has not changed and some times feels much worse. Everything which I have read on these problems says that this is Endometriosis. But I have still not had the diagnosis.
But when I went back for my scan results this time he has said the it is showing fluid in my uterus, and as the swabs showed no infection that its ok?? Now I just cant seem to think that this is normal, Has anyone had this problem before? I really would like some help with this its drving me crazy. Thank you for any answers

Is it normal to have a blood glucose level (in mmol/L) of around 7.0? Sometimes it goes down to 2.0-3.0, but I've only been measuring it for 2 days, and this is while I'm on holiday, relaxing and having plenty of food.

I don't know if I'm diabetic or not, I have to do more tests, but wanted to also monitor myself while waiting...

Is it normal for a woman's body to get tense, and for her to have discomfort, sometimes even pain in the vaginal area, with the only cure that seems to work is masturbation?

A friend of mine is having their gall bladder removed, most liklely through keyhole surgery (in the UK) but they have a history of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, occasional constipation and stomach problems generally in addition to being gluten intolerant and they found out about the gall stones because she ended up in hospital with pancreatitis.

What I'm wondering is about the potential side-effects of things like chronic diahorrea and the like. Could taking the gall bladder out actually HELP her other problems or would it most likely make them worse? What can she do or expect to happen?

She's in her mid 20s and otherwise fit and healthy.

I figured out that I was consuming at least 250g of sugar per day - primarily from drinking about a litre of flavoured skim milk - and decided I should cut out the flavoured milk to reduce my sugar intake. Yesterday - the first day I tried my new diet - I was feeling ravenously hungry all day, presumably because I was drinking so much milk it was a substantial food source for me, I think, and my stomach felt very acid.

I could cope with that, but this morning I woke up feeling nauseous and vomited, and had a revolting migraine most of the day (though I'm prone to migraine already). Could this be because my sugar has dropped so dramatically and suddenly? Would it be wiser to drop it more gradually?
