Women's Health - July 2007

The reason I did this exercise (think it's called kegels or something) was to strengthen my muscles "down there". But now lately I find myself unsuccessful. What I mean by unsuccessful is that once the urine flow starts, contracting the muscles barely stops the flow. What would be the reason for the sudden inability to stop the flow? There's no discomfort and I am 100 percent positive I don't have an infection or anything like that, say, in my bladder, that could cause this weakening. I am a virgin.

I recently started Norinil birth control pills and I am on the first week of them and I just started my period. I have had alot of problems with periods in the past (even had a D&C done) but this was supposed to help the problem. Instead, this period is just as heavy (which is really heavy, including clumping) and very painful. Has this happened to anyone before? And do you think there is any cause for concern?

ok...
so i usually have very very heavy periods with really horrible cramps, my periods most of the time are irregular,
i had a period on around may 15th...

but now i'm spotting a little bit, not much, with no cramps.

i was just wondering if this was normal cause it's never happened to me before.

ok heres the deal. i thought i wasnt getting vaginal discharge but i barely figured out that that gooey stuff is vaginal discharge. ive had it for a really long time i guess. heres the rest
1. pubic hair: as long as i can remember
2. armpit hair: little tiny bit. barely
3. mood swings: like crazy these last couple weeks
so do you think i could be getting my period soon? i know lots of people will say "trust me you dont want to get it" but i really do before school starts again. please i really need your help fast. oh yeah and also, do you think my mood swings could be PMS?

My husband and I have been trying to conceive, and my period is well over a week late -almost two weeks now- so there is a good possibility of me being pregnant. I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet so I don't know for sure if I am or not.

[ The only reason I'm waiting so long to take a test is because the last 3 times I took pregnancy tests when I was a week late--all were positive, even the clinic tests, but then turned out to be false positives. One resulted in a miscarriage. I don't have high hopes this time, so I'm waiting until the 2-2 1/2 week mark of missing a period. ]

Back in May, I received the first of 3 Gardasil HPV vaccine shots, and I'm due for my second this upcoming Friday. If pregnant, will it be okay for me to go ahead with the second shot?

Sooo when I was a little girl I wished for boobs...and they sure as hell came. They wouldn't stop growing, and now I'm eighteen years old and I'm teetering between a DD and an E. Luckily they fit me since I'm 5'11'', but I'm getting breast reduction anyway this summer, and I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who had had it done and wouldn't mind sharing their experience with me as far as scarring/healing went. Even if there are some of you out there who had friends who had it done, I'd really like to hear about it if you'll share. I'm really scared and don't know what to expect!

I am a old teenager. I started watching porn when i was in 6th grade when I masturbated to get me more aroused and orgasm quicker. I only watched it when I could like, once every week, so it would not be addicting. It never was and it did not interfere with my life and did not hurt anyone. But, was it bad that I started watching at such an early age?? And do other females watch it and love it, like me?

I'm sixteen, I have 36 DD breasts and they are still growing; it has gotten to the point where barely any DD bras fit me anymore, and it's starting to become ridiculous. Besides the fact that they are too big for my body type, but they ache constantly, cause me to slouch, and my back hurts more and more every day.

And please, no comments with "don't do it". Especially by men, you don't have to live with them and for anybody to expect me to live like this so I can be eye-candy for other people is not only ridiculous but also is humorous.

I guess what I want to know is, do I really need a breast reduction; when do I know I need one? My mother is always bringing it up, and I'm seriously starting to consider it. Also, how much does it cost? What are the health risks, will I be able to nurse if I ever have a child (long ways off but still)? Anything else I should know?

I want to feel better and lose some pounds, and know I should change my eating habits and exercise, but I can't work up the desire to make it happen.

I took antibiotics from June 12-June 26 for a sinus infection. This caused my period to come about two weeks early. I am now off the antibiotics and am no longer on my period and have two pills left in this cycle of "on" pills until my period is expected (though since it came early I'm not expecting it). What I am wondering is whether if I have sex with my boyfriend -- no condom -- is my birth control going to be as active/effective as if I had never taken the antibiotics and my period had not come early?

I REPEAT: I am NO LONGER on antibiotics (it's been nearly a week since I took the last one) and am on my "on" birth control pills.

i was wondering...

i have been on birth control for over a year now..but just last month i could not get my perscription filled because it was up, so i went a month without it. now it is around the time i should be getting my period and i havent gotten it yet.

i was wondering if maybe by taking birth control for so long and now stopping if that is the reason i have a missed period or if it is something else...?
