Women's Health - January 2007

I delivered my baby 3 weeks ago (yesterday) and starting at about 5 days postpartum my blood pressure got sky high. I have always had LOW blood pressure, and didn't have any pre-eclampsia or blood pressure problems DURING the pregnancy. Needless to say, it was 179/106 and I was hospitalized because of it after I had him and discovered that my terrible headaches were because it was in fact very very high. My doctor doesn't really have an answer as to why it's doing that and thinks that it will eventually resolve on it's own, but he doesn't know that it will for sure either. I am currently on blood pressure medicine (2 diff kinds) to bring it down and even taking those it's still sitting at around 135/95!! Has ANYONE ever heard of such a thing....getting extrememly high blood pressure postpartum....not related to having pre-eclampsia? It's really really starting to stress me out. Any advice or suggestions?

the age when women begin their menstration is falling all over the world. there are girl now starting at age 9 - even 8.
what is the cause of this? if the trend continue the way it is, in a couple of years girls will begin menstrating at age 6.
ps: serious question seeking serious answer.

I'm in a monogamous, safe sexual relationship and have never had a problem with odor. I go for routine checkups and bathe regularly, so I'm alright there. After my last cycle though, there's been this unpleasant "fishy" smell. Its not noticeable until after sex. Iknow BV carries that tell-tale scent. I've had BV once before, a few years ago and was treated. Is it possible that that's what's going on now?

I've already scheduled my appointment, so just plain ol' experience-related advice would be nice.

I have lately been so tired that I don't change my underwear before I go to bed...also I am on a budget and don't have that many pairs and don't like doing laundry all the time...is it okay for me to do this...to wear my underwear to bed after I wore it all day, and also is it okay if I change my underwear at night, but wear the underwear I slept in all day the next day? Or would doing this cause a vaginal infection?

i do alot of reading on this particular subject and am just curious to see what others think and feel too. it seems to me that women go on them to help something or prevent something- ovulation because of cysts, pregnancy, acne, whatever, and all they end up with is more physical,emotional and sometimes psychological problems. why are so many women going on them. yes, some pills do have "low" side effects, but it is something that will always have something negative attached with it. i wasn't always against the pill. i was on it for 2 and 1/2 years and had bad side effects like most do. then, i discovered that it was better before them. is anyone in aggreeance with me here that birth control pills are not good for you? thanks for your input!

I'm a guy, and not sure of what exactly a routine pap smear tests at an annual gynecologist appointment.

Do they routinely test for STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea with each pap smear even if not specifically requested?

I just picked up my first prescription for the Pill yesterday. I tried to order 3 packs so I wouldn't have to go in every month but they said I could only get one pack at a time. Whats the shortest number of days I have to wait to get my prescription filled again (theres 28 days of pills in the pack)? Also, in a few months I will be on vacation when my pack runs out. What should I do then?
