I went to the doctor with concerns over a brain defect I have. I have been experiencing more symptoms related to the defect and I wanted some tests to ensure that it isn't getting worse. The end result of it worsening could be paralysis, so naturally I'm concerned. The first thing he said was that it must be stress causing my symptoms. Frankly I don't feel that I am under any stress at all, I'm feeling pretty good about my life in general. The only stress I have is a doctor who doesn't listen. I also live in an area where it isn't easy to get a new family doctor. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with a doctor who thinks that anything a woman complains about is in her head or due to stress?

I was on the depo shot for about a year. My peiod went away the next month. After 8 months on the shot I bled for about 40 days. I took my last shot in May. 3 months later I bled for 6 weeks and now nothing. I have been waiting almost 2 months for another period and it doesn't show any signs of coming back. Has this happened to anyone else?
While on the depo shot I gained about 5lbs every week. My migranes increased (they were already bad to begin with). I went to my doctor ever month or so because something was always hurting but all my bloodwork always came back okay. Even though I would feel worse and worse I never went back to the doctor about my problems because I didnt want them to think I was a hypochondriac. Now that I am off the shot I am fine. My OBGYN says that I should have never been on it. I say if you feel abnormal or your body hurts while you are on the shot please go to your OBGYN and tell him/her it might be the shot.

I'm not sure which is normal, being able to hold it, or not. (Please pardon the bluntness) My husband and I have opposing views on the matter, and I'd like to know if there is a right answer to this question, or if every woman is different. Please advise!!!

woke up from a deep sleep with severe cramps, sharp pains in my vaginal area. It hurt so bad but I felt the need to go the bathroom, I sat on the toliet but I didn't have to pee. Just felt severe pain and my vagina clenching and unclenching. Two days later while I was having sex with my boyfriend it felt weird down there so we stopped. There was blood and this bloody thick chunks of discharge. It wasn't my period as i had it two weeks before and after that hour of bleeding it stopped. Any ideas what it could have been?

I told him he should get a vasectomy so we wouldn't have to worry about it at all and I could be free of this B.C.(birth control) but he refuses. He said I should get my tubes tied but it's not me who doesn't want any more kids, so I'm not cutting off my tubes just because he feels he's done reproducing.What should we do? Should I keep trying to convince him to get the vasectomy or should I suffer taking B.C. for the rest of my life?

Okay ladies. If you were working at Mrs. Field's one night and a guy came in around your age and bought a cookie or something, and then asked what time you were getting off your shift because he'd like to take you to a movie after your shift, what would you say?

And would you rather him say he would like to or ask if you would like to see a movie?

My friend is a quarter of an inch shorter than me and hasn't grown since the last two years. She says that having a menstrual period for a while can slow down ur growth in height. I first didn't believe her, but then i notice that i havent grown either since the last two years? I thought maybe it was depend on our genes.(her mom is 5'2 and her dad is 5'12-6'0, while my parents are 5'8 1/2 and dad 6'1) Is she right?

nothing to do with health) today me and 2 friends walked home from school(my first time)and (about 1.5 miles) and i didn't see if it was ok. so by the time i got home 1 hour and 30 min later my mom called a bunch of ppl and was worried and crying! so i made up this story that the bus waz having problems and went back to school. i said another bus was coming to pick me and my friend up and took me to their house. from there (down the street a little) i walked home. and that was that. my mom was relieved and she called all the ppl back and i found out that she called my bus driver and left a message saying that i told her the story how the bus broke down!! (the bus didn't really break down) so the bus driver called back and i sayed my mom was busy. so i really don't know what to do. should i tell my mom the truth orkeep going with the lie.

my mom also has a work party this weekend andi am going with her but if she finds out i lied i won't get to go!!!

Ok um well, my parents are tall(mom is 5'9 and dad 6'1), my mom's family are very tall, but my women in my dad's family are short 5'2-5'4. I'm 14 and i've been 5'4 for two years. I've only changed in height last year(only grew a half an inch), so i was wondering, will i stay at 5'4? Do i have a chance of having my mom's height or my aunts's height from my father's side?

well my mom just told me that i will be seeing a gynecologist in about 2 weeks and im very nervous...she told me that my doctor was a male and i really dont have a problem with that its just that im really scared about the kind of exams he will be doing...im 16 and she said its time for me to go but i dont agree. I want to know how can i prepare mself for it and what will he do to me? I do have very irregular periods and i was also wondering whether i should tell him that or not because i have 2 periods every month and i started m cycle when i was 11. could this be a reason that she would take me? But will i be there for a long time? Im very afraid its gonna hurt and im just praying for a flat tire on the way there. Pretty ridiculus huh...but this doctor stuff has always freaked me out. I have never even allowed my pediatrician look down there so i really dont know how im gonna just flat out show the doctor everything that i privately own. Can you all please help me?

It only lasts for three days usually and I can never be sure when it will come back. Sometimes it is almost two months in between periods. Could it be that I am not healthy? What is causing this to happen?

Hi, My best friend just ran out of insurance, she was covered under her parents and her current job doesn't offer it to her, and she needs to get a gynecological check up to get a Pap Smear, etc... Is Planned Parenthood an afforadable option for her to go to? Please only serious responses. Thanks.
