Women's Health - March 2007

My girlfriend has been worrying that she is having problems with her "pills". I'm not sure what she is on as far as this birth control but she says her periods are getting heavier and harsher. I have definitely noticed a change in mood as well. She has recently been given antibiotics which have somewhat depleted her "natural" immune system and now she is on a form of steroid to help give it a boost. Is it possibly the steroids?

Endometriosis? Every period is so painful that i require heavy prescription narcotics. Sometimes i even have to take off of work for it! I have lower abdominal pain intermitantly all month, back aches during my period along with migraines or bad headaches. All of this accompanied by heavy bleeding! As fun as this is i'd like to know if this is a normal period or i need to see a doctor. Ive had cysts rupture on my ovaries before and severe UTI's. Any ideas?

I am going to have a tubal ligation. I haven't had tedoc consult yey. But I am wondering. Bear in mind I know absolutely nothing other than I want a safe form of birth control (I am 35 and have 3 children and that time of my life is over) Where will my eggs be? Will I release vaginal mucus anymore? Will my periods be heavier forever? Anything else?

Is it normal to get heavy discharge the week of/before your period? And is mucusy-looking (not necessarily the color) discharge normal?

Do you still get heavy discharge the week before your period is supposed to start if you're pregnant? I'm kind of paranoid, as always, that I might be pregnant.

I am overweight and I started using a treadmill 2 weeks ago. At first I was taking it easy and only doing about 5 minutes at a time, but I have increased to 30min. This week I started my period and it is about 10 days early. I have been bleeding for 7 days now. My periods usually only last 4-5 days and are very light. This time I am bleeding pretty heavily. I know I should probably go to the doctor but I have no insurance. Any ideas what could be wrong. Could it be the excercise?

What can I do to decrease stretch marks in these areas. I'm 5 foot 7 and around 150 pounds, not too overweight. I don't understand why I aqquired these, but they make it hard to become intimate with my boyfriend and I'd love to get rid of them. I haven't had any children so I don't understand why this has happened. Has anyone any suggestions on how to decrease the look of them or remove them or does anyone know when they will fade. I'm in my mid-teens. Will tanning reduce the look of them?

My girlfriend was just prescribed birth control to regulate her periods. The medication says that you should wait until your next period to start, the problem is her next period probably won't be for another 6 months. What should she do? This is the first time she's been on birth control pills.

Its weird. I am 13 and weigh 160 pounds. I think its all going to my breasts. Is that possible? I wear 32 double d's and I'm only a size 5 in pants. I exerside every day to lose weight. I eat only three meals a day and very healthy. I swim, can run three miles , and I can bike 5 miles , I have no belly fat. I don't know whats wrong with me. I can't lose the stupid weight in my breast. I am scared to death of sergery though. I don't have back problems either. I try to hide it but i cant. I need answers. I also get harassed by boys a lot at my school. I really hate it. They touch me not nicley and they grab me. I have gotten boys so many detention. I am only talked to at my breasts.
