Women's Health - April 2007

So today I went to the bathroom and pulled down my pants so I could pee. But before I sat down I noticed something that looked like a string hanging between my legs. So I pulled it out and it was disgusting. It felt like mucus. It was like snot except it didn't come from my nose. I've seen stuff like this on my underwear before, but I've never actually touched it. What is this stuff? It was pretty nasty.

I've been getting the small bumps in my vaginal area and they were of concern to me so i went to the doctor and she said that it didnt look like herpes & thought it was an ingrown hair, but she did a test to make sure ,Im waiting for the results and am worried.
from the last time i went to see the dr. another "bump" has appeared and the other one gone.
there is no puss or anything to "pop" they are just bumps that kinda irritate me down there. they are usually around the clitoris.and just recently i got a cold sore in my mouth, so now i am really scared!
Ive only been with 2 people my whole life, one of whom i am still with and have been for the past 6 years.
could this be herpes? Ive been looking all over the net as to what it could be.
is herpes only spread through sex?

can you help me....im scared. :(

Okay heres the thing. on the 21st of march i went and had my tooth pulled. the doctor put me on medicine for the pain. The following Saturday i noticed a pink discharge when i went pee but that was it. The monday after that(2nd) i started spotting a brownish discharge.( thats gross i know sorrrrrrryyyy) about 8 days before my period is suppose to start. I've noticed that my breast have been really sensative for about three weeks and believe it or not i got heartburn from french fries. i hardly ever get heart burn. My question is ..do you think the spotting would just be from the medicine messing up my birth control? i want it to be something else but i'm trying not to get my hopes up...... what do you think. no rude answers please. thanks

If every month each ovary has multiple follicles that are "semi-maturing" but not fully to ovulate, doesn't it seem like every month you are wasting tons of eggs?? Only serious answers please.. It just makes sense to me, if every month you have 10-15 follicles on an ovary, then you are going to waste them all and go through menopause quicker??

i am 18 years old and a 34/36 DD. I would like to be a 34 full C. I am wanting the surgery because finding bras has become impossible. i need the cup of a 36DD but the band of a 34. I can't find bathing suits or cute clothes and i'm miserable. i also have found it hard to lose weight due to self image problems...not to mention how painful it is to run! i have indents in my shoulders and when i get my period i cannot even walk down the stairs because they get so sore. i had open heart surgery in 03 at the age of 14 so i am not terribly worried about the pain. i am just trying to decide if it is worth all the pain just to be a few sizes smaller. i like being chesty because i feel feminine but i would like someone to look at my face. i get comments everyday and get yelled at by administrators and teachers at school when i wear something barely lowcut. i can't stand it anymore! but i'm terrified that i'm going to lose sensation in my nipples. advice please?

Why do guys make fun about girls and their periods? You give them a little bit of info and then they use it to make fun of you.

I am having a pinch in my vaginal area during my menstruation. It started last night, my 3rd day. I was 9 days late, it came on and I am having back pains, buttock pains and this pinch, feels like someone is pinching the inside of my lips instead of having stomach cramps. Anyone know what it could be?

For the past couple of days when I wipe I have been wiping blood. I just finished up my period and I know it isnt that. When I wipe from the front I dont wipe any blood but when I wipe from the back end I do wipe blood. It is like "fresh" blood. I have wiped with baby wipes to see it maybe it was a cut down there (it would of stung) but it didnt. Does anyone have any suggestions on what it couldl be?

I don't know what is wrong with me. Since I was 17 I haven't had a regular period and now I'm almost 23. There are times I don't get one for months or even a year at a time. At that time, I also gained about 30lbs. and since then have been up and down in the weight department. I have tried to exercise but I'm sometimes I'm soooo lethargic that I can't even get out of bed to even walk around the house. I went to my doctor for a routine physical and she says that it's all in my head. In other words, it's mind over matter. I have a feeling that I have a sluggish thyroid, but when I had my thyroid tested she said the results came out fine. I can't get a full thyroid test at my doctor's office. In order to get one, I need her approval to go to another place but she won't give me one because again it's all in my head.
I started taking vitamins and stopped drinking soda even to see if this would help. I also limited the amount of refined sugar and pasta in my diet but still no avail. Help?

Someone told me that even while you exercise and diet on the depo shot or the pill you won't lose weight. Is this true?

I have been on the pill for 6 years now. I started with Alesse and found that it increased my hair growth and was put on a higher dose pill which made my gain 20lbs fairly rapidly. Then my doctor put me back onto Alesse and I got a wierd brownish period and was put on Nordette which made me put on another 10lbs but regulated me. Now for the past 31/2 years I have been on Yasmin.I changed to this because it was the latest Low Dose at the time. Now I am severely moody the week before my period. This is something I noticed as well as my husband and family. I have also found that I am staying at one weight despite all my efforts at diet and exercise. I am 185lbs now at 5' 10" and was at the start of this 155lbs. I would like to know about a low dose pill that doesn't affect weight as much and one that will help my mood.

I went to the ER on Sunday because I was having trouble breathing and even though nothing was found wrong I was told to keep an eye on myself for the next couple of days.

I called my Mom, a registered nurse, and told her my symptoms.
Shortness of breath, night sweats, hot flashes, major temperature fluctuation, dizziness...

Her first response was, "Are you sure you're not going through menopause?"

She might as well have said I had brain cancer!

I'm only 22! I have no kids and my husband and I want them very badly.

I've been trying to get a hold of my doctor to schedule an appointment but he's not available and I'm SOO freaked out I'm at the point of tears. Can menopause happen in someone so young, and if so, does that mean I can't get pregnant? Please help!

My mother had six children and didn't start menopause till her forties. None of my grandmothers had early menopause.

HELP!!

I feel like my boobs have gone on a growth spurt, they're incredibly sore visibly larger. Usually they get sore before and a little after my period, but that was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Also, is it normal to have a lot of clear/white discharge that can sometimes be watery?

I had an IUD implaned about seven months ago and I love it. Since I've had it inserted I no longer have to worry constantly about my birth control and as an added bounus I no longer get my period. There is however a down side. Up until I got my IUD I've had flawless skin, never had any problems with breakouts, but after I got my IUD it's acne city! I haven't had clear skin in seven months, I can treat my skin so that the breakout go away rather quickly but, is there anyway that I can prevent the breakouts, short of removing my IUD?

My daughter is in Russia and when she comes home she only has 28 days for her birth control to be effective. What is the most convenient form that will work in that length of time. She has never been on birth control before. What are her options? She tried getting the birth control pills in Russia but that isn't really working.
