Women's Health - January 2007

I had a radical hysterectomy in June 2006 and was put on Premarin. My dr suggested that I try to wean myself off of them asap. I cut back and then totally stopped them on January 1st. How long will the horrible night sweats last?

I got a rash in my vagina from i'm assuming a new soap and loofa that i stupidly used down there. A few days after that i came down with a UTI. Could the rash be from the uti instead if it started before the UTI? the rash now erupted into sores from the bacteria hitting it (so painful) is there anything safe to use down there for it to heal faster? neosporin? or a monistat itching cream? i am NOT sexually active so please no std things

"come out", like when you menstruate. It lasted for 2 weeks. I thought that maybe 1 of the cysts filled with fluid drained itself. (1 cyst is a solid mass and the other 2 r filled w. fluid). 1 of my docs said that couldn't have been the case, but another doc said it could have been very likely that that was what happened. The docs are both internists and the next avail. appointment w. my Obgyn at the clinic is 3 weeks away. I should maybe also mention that I have severe endometriosis and have had several cysts removed surgically in the past, though the reason for the surgeries were not the cysts. The last time I saw my Obgyn at the clinic, he said I should have a hysterectomy done, but I'm afraid of another surgery, especially because I almost died after the last one because I have blood clotting problems, and it didn't stop bleeding internally until the very last second. Any prof. advice because I am very nervous about my visit to the Obgyn which is almost 3 weeks away. Thank you.

I have a rather embarassing problem that I would really appreciate some help with! I have become slightly obsessed with a married female collegue at work who I have loved for approximatly 9 years now. It has go to the point where I sometimes sniff her chair if the office is empty and I have even stolen two of her jackets and a tissue she once used to wipe her nose. I have followed her into the ladies bathroom to listen to her urinate, and often spit in her cup when making coffee. I once even masturbated into her bag, and then blamed another male collegue when she discovered this sticky evidence! How do I cure this obsession? Would it help to confront her in a dark alleyway and explain the situation? I would do anything for just one touch of her vagina.

Alrighty so I first got my period in June of 2005. I didn't get it again until May of 2006. Then I didn't get it again until September of 2006. I haven't had it since. Is it normal for this to happen? I haven't had any cramps, discharge, anything. What should I do? Oh yeah also I can't be pregnant...a virgin.

I just posted this in another section and got a bunch of weird answers. I'm not sure if those people know what they're talking about! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhSKBe4H6unjhB6hnD5dbNPsy6IX?qid=20070114151732AAh0kvs

I have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and am supposed to be drinking LARGE amounts of water throughout the day, which my nurse practitioner advised. (Yes, I'm also drinking unsweetened cranberry juice.) Some women advise to drink enough that you're peeing every 15-20 minutes. But I just heard about this horrible story: http://www.nbc11.com/news/10746017/detail.html?rss=bay&psp=news Scary stuff! Do you think she ran into problems because she was trying NOT to urinate?

Anyway, right now I'm chugging it out of these 1.5-liter bottles... I'm gulping down a bunch every 5 minutes or so, and peeing about every 15, i think. How much can I drink safely? (I'm hoping women who've had UTIs will reply, too!) Thanks everyone! :)

i get really reallllllly baaaaaadd cramps. I have been known to fall over screaming from these things and thats when im taking Midol and other pain killers as well. They go down a little with a hot water bottle and heat but i can't always lie down with that. Also i feel as if i might throw up but i never do, i also get incredibly exhausted and all pain killers make me even more tired so i end up missing school for 4 days because im either in so much pain i can't move without screaming or I'm falling asleep. I asked my doctor and he said that he could put me on antiestrogen pills but i reallly don't want to do that. he also suggested birth control but because i just got a boyfriend my mum won't hear of it. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm aware this sounds odd,but it's a question that's been making me curious for a while.

I'm married,20,female (obviously) and I was a virgin when I got married (completely unbroken in,just for him. ^_-). He's the only man I've been with sexually... yet he's flat out told me his opinion is I'm slightly loose.

He's -extremely- well endowed,so it's nothing to do with -that-. but I'm curious. Are there exercises that can be used to tighten up those muscles? Are there any reasons why a virgin would be so loose at first?

And another note: He says I was loose,but the 'first time' it was -agonizing-. That doesn't make sense to me,either. Could it be he's simply not very sensitive,too?

=) I'd love some opinions on this. Links to any exercises that might help would be great,too. Thanks. ^^
