Women's Health - November 2006

Hi, i am 22 years old and for the past few years my periods have been irregular but nothing serious, however i have been gradually geting my periods more spread apart. A few times i have gone without a period for 6 months. I was originally on birth control for about 4 years but then had to go off due to some blood pressure issues and my doctor didn't want to take any risks. I have had pap smear, many blood tests including thyroid, blood cells, etc...all came back negative. I have small cysts on my ovaries but they say nothing abnormally large. I am definitely not pregnant. Since the summer i have been now bleeding off and on for 3 months straight, it was only heavy for 2 weeks and now it's a mixture of spotting and sometimes light regular bleeding. It's really frustrating and my doctor says nothings wrong and since anything with hormones in it is out of the question due to the blood pressure thing, he says nothing can be done for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For starters, I am not sexually active and I am very hygienic. I even wear cotton underwear to stay clean. For the past week I ahve been having lower back craps as if I were about 2 start my period. However, nothing has ever happened. The other day I went 2 the bathroom, and on the toilet paper there was a clear discharge that was blood tinged. I have not had any itching or burning or any type of irritation. Another thing that I have noticed is that I have been having a light brown discharge in my panties. It is NOT old blood from a previous menstrual cycle. I dont know what is going on. I think that i have a UTI or a bladder infection, or even a kidney infection. However, I have not had any burning or itching or any type of odor. The bad cramps and aches in my sides are killing me. BTW, it is not ovulation bc I would def. know. Any help would be appreciated

Sady, you've got to listen to this. I swear, it's funny as hell. These yahoo-working people got me with a seriously complicated rule.

Context
Some content may be more appropriate in certain contexts than others. For example, questions regarding women's health issues are entirely appropriate in the Women's Health category, but are inappropriate if addressed in a sexual or otherwise inappropriate context.

Thats what it said. I said wtf to something some girl was wanting to have injected in her bloodstream. Like something alive. I got in trouble.

Now, how many times a day do you think thats happened.

Now, also, do you think you get a glow like a suntan (not as strong) on your face from lighting things close enough to your face you can feel the heat real good. Like get you wam in the winter good.

I have had constant vaginal discharge for the past 2 years. I have been to my gynocologist and I keep getting a diagnosis of yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I can't be sexual because I haven't had sex since Feburary..it still hasn't cleared up with medication. I even went for a sonogram to check my liver to see if maybe it was something with the kidneys..Nothing. Recently it has started to itch and become red. I am tired of alway have to insert medication into me every night and wearing a panty liner. Does anyone have any clue..btw discharge ranges from white and thick to stringy light brown to light blood discharge.. and all of my STD test have came back negative

For about 2 months I've been having discharge.
Description: It is thick, white, looks like cottege cheese, and has a foul scent.

It is really depressing i am scared to have sex with my boyfriend, and it is putting a strain on our relationship. I have done two abortions in the past two years and i was told that i should take a pap test after i did my last abortion but i didnt. I am really depressed. I have seen articles about bacterial vaginosis and cervical cancer. I currently have no money to pay for a doctor. Also i have tried to douche, i have tried the yeast infection package but nothing has worked. Someone help?????????

I've seen questions on here to where the bigger the guy was, the more it hurt the female. Yet, I read that also a lot of women like it bigger and someone believe it's what he knows what to do with it, despite his smaller size.

Apparently, last time I didn't make myself clear. What other OVER THE COUNTER contraceptive can I use with a condom that will help with prevention of pregnancy, besides abstinence? I can't take the meds perscribed by a dr 'cause I'm at a high risk with all those hormones put in my body. I'm a 19 year old, virgin, female and I was just curious 'cause I think I may start to become sexually active and I don't want to get pregnant. Please don't shun me for asking this question. I'm wanting to know what may be the best options.

Did you gain weight after getting the Mirena placed? Were you able to lose or maintain, or did you find it more difficult to lose weight after using Mirena?

I have heard a lot of stories about women gaining weight and/or not being able to lose, and I'm kind of scared because I worked so hard to lose the baby weight and it would be a shame to gain it back when I could just use Natural Family Planning instead.

So, let me hear your story, good or bad.
THANK YOU!
