Women's Health - February 2007

Im a teen girl and there are times when I feel my head is itchy but it is usually uncommon. Although, whenever I scratch my head I find a yellow-white solid underneath my nail. I do not think it is dandruff because normally, dandruff isn't so hard to remove. Dandruff can come off simply by brushing or shaking the hair. I'm very worried as I think I may have head lice but at the same time, I'm in doubt as I have never had lice before and I don't think my family has. Furthermore, I have not discovered any real live lice in my hair or actual eggs. But, I'm worried that the solid I find is nits or could it just be dandruff? Please advise.

Just today I found a small painless lump in my groin area (on the right side). When I stand a certain way I can see it, otherwise it is not visible. I have had one ovarian cyst in the past that burst, other than that no history of anything. I have been reading online and have found numerous things saying hernia, infection, and *gasp* possibly HIV. Since it is the weekend, I have to wait until Monday to make an appt with my Gyno. Until then, can someone give me some words to assure me its not HIV. My husband and I are looking to start a family soon and the thought of HIV will be keeping me up for nights to come. Thank you in advance.

Condoms don't actually protect you from a lot of Sexually transmitted diseases. HPV and HIV can still be contracted even if you use a condom. They are viruses and only require skin to skin contact, not necessarily sex........The whole safe sex thing is very misleading.......

I'm very self conscious about my body and I never take my shirt off during sex. I've been like this for the past 4 years. How can I feel more comfortable with my body? Does anyone else have this problem?

I had a baby 7 months ago. I started my cycle about 5 weeks after giving birth. I was very regular at first, which is unusual for me, getting my period every 28 days . I could set a clock by it. Last month I had no period and went to the doctor after about 3 weeks. He prescribed Provera 10 mg, one everyday for 7 days. He said that I should start my period a week after finishing the prescription It is now day 10 and I still haven't started. I have been having crampy feelings and mild pain on my right side during intercourse. I am not on the pill, I take no other medications. What do you think is going on and what should I do? What another week and call the doctor again? What until I finally start? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

My fiancee is going to have her first visit sometime soon because we're getting married in June and will probably be using some sort of pill (we haven't been sexually active and we're waiting). She generally feels unpleasant about going for this visit in and of itself, but is, I think, most bothered by the speculum tests. She's pretty sure she hasn't stretched her hymen yet and has been hoping to save doing so for our first time having sex. I won't be bothered either way (as I expect most women's hymens to likely have been stretched before sex by activity, tampons, or masturbation), but she wishes it that way. So for her I want to ask if anyone has had, or knows if you can have the gynecologist exams without having the speculum tests/pap smear done since this would make her feel quite a bit better about it?

I've had both, and for my two cents, I say that circumcized is MUCH better.

What do you think?

I want to know if any other girls have birth defects that inhibit the growth of 1 breast? (The other has grown normally, resulting in humiliation.) Be nice to know I'm not alone!

Hi, I'm twenty years old and I want to have my tubes tied in the future. My father has paranoid schitzophrenia, I have a 15% chance of developing it. I have a aunt that suffers from depression, a cousin that is bipolar, and a grandpa that has alcoholism. I have eczema, keratoconus, and possibly depression. High blood pressure and bad hearing runs in my family. I know most doctors won't perform the surgery on someone so young, especially if they haven't had children, but I think it's better if I didn't reproduce. I know the chance is small if I have a child that they'll develop paranoid schitzophrenia, but if I develop it, I would not want to put my child through what I went through. Any input would be appreciated.
