Women's Health - June 2007

My doctor suggested I get the gardasil vaccine. I'm 23 years old and have no STDs. I'm also in a monogamous relationship and in plans to marry the person.

I'm a little confused about the vaccine? I always thought it was for people who already had HPV, but my doctor said that's not the case.

So, my question is; if I'm planning on not having any further sexual partners should I still get the vaccine. I understand that I may not always be w/ my partner (not always divorce, but god forbid death) But, I would never be promiscuous or have unsafe sex.

I'm just afraid that 10 years down the road they are going to find something wrong with this vaccine? I don't want that to happen. It's still relatively knew.

So, please tell me what you know about the vaccine? Should I get it? Are there side effects?

Should I get a breast lift or a breast reduction? I don't think I can afford both. Which one would get me the best results for what I want? Please answer if you have first hand knowledge.

I have been dealing with constant (EVERY DAY) breakthrough bleeding for 6 weeks now. My doc switched be about a month ago to Losetrin 1/20fe, but even after having my period at the end of the pack, it stopped for half a day, came back a bit, then went away again. In order to prevent another 6 weeks of bleeding, my doctor has perscribed me Femcon, a higher does pill. My question is, I have taken the next two active pills of Loestrin already, and my doc said I could swtich right to the Femcon tonight: Will I be protected from pregnancy if I have unprotected sex this weekend? I am going away on vacation, so i really need to know. She said I should use protection just in case, but I should be fine. I need a more definite answer. I take my pills the same time every day, never missing any, and the femcon has the same "ingredients" as the loestrin, so I am thinking I should be ok? Thanks!!

I'm 5'3" and only weigh around 110 lbs so my 36A breast size seems like it should be proportional, but it isn't and I hate it! I don't like the way clothes or bathing suits fit and on top of having a very youthful face, I feel as if I look like a young girl. I don't want responses to this such as telling me not to do it. I want answers. So here are my questions:

1.) Is it possible to get financing if I have yet to build much credit and don't have a cosigner?

2.) With a certain amount down, which I am assuming most financers require, how much were your payments? (A little personal, I know - but I need as much info as possible!)

3.) What is the REAL recovery period?

4.) Do prices vary substantially from state-to-state or area-to-area? If so, is it enough to where it would be worth it to travel (within the country, only!)??

Thanks so much, and if there is any other info you could give I would really really appreciate it, I'm just trying to gater as much info as possible!

I've had uneven breasts since I was a teenager. I was told by my physician that it is normal for women/girls to have uneven breasts because we are not symmetrical. My doctor also said that it may even out a little as I mature; that didn't happen for me.

Instead, I think it kind of got worse because the bigger one became saggy. My breasts are about 1 cup size different (A cup and B cup), but it's is VERY noticeable, because of the sag.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the sagginess and even out my breasts without any surgery?

Thanks in advance.

I have always had irregular periods, but about a year ago they went crazy. I began skipping or having very late ones. Now for the last 3 months I have had none at all.. yet I bleed every single day..sometimes fresh blood and other times it is brown like you get at the end of your cycle. It's only spotting here and there never a constant flow. I have no "extra" pain other then cramps.. I am only 28yrs old and have been over weight my whole life. Cervical cancer runs in my family but they all had alot of pain and I do not have any. I know I am not pregnant this has been going on for a long time. I don't have insurance and I can't find anyone who will see me... even a clinic. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this may be?????

Please help!
