Women's Health - August 2007

Well May 15th was the last time I had my period so July 16th I went to the doctor to get a blood test and see if I was pregnant (it was a no :) ) I also got birth control that day as well (Yasmin) It's been three weeks and three days since I've been taking them (same time everyday) and this week I'm supposed to get my period but it still hasn't come. I haven't seen ANY kind of blood since MAY! No spotting or anything! Is this normal? (By the way I'm 19 and have never had intercourse).

I recently went for a scan due to my TSH levels being off the charts...and my doctor found that my thyroid (the left lobe) was actually growing back. It was totally removed in 2004 (was 4x the normal size as well as hypothyroidism) and in doing the biopsy afterwards, they found a small pre-cancerous cell.

Question is, has anyone been through that before and what was your outcome? The doctor wants to monitor the regrowth and I'm going back in October, but I can't help thinking what the heck is going on??

My vigina is red, very itchy and tingles with burning sensation. Could it be an infection? This is the 5th time i have had this type of problem within the last few months. I am not on birthcontrol or any other medication. I dont know what it could be. My doctor keeps telling me its yeast infection. but i doubt it. I'm married....so i dont sleep around. i dont know what it is and what causes it.

I work in the Engineering field, and I can't think of one woman that I've worked with that is obese. While in the Nursing field, it seems that about half of them are obese. Is there a reason for this, or is it just my imagination.

Im confused on cleaning your vagina.
Okay so this is my confusion.
They say it's bad to clean inside your vagina with soap or douche.
So does this means u cant clean ur labias is it bad to clean ur lips with soap? and what about when you clean your behind area wouldnt the soap at least eventually slip a bit around the interior area of the vagina.
My mom never told me anything about this.
and all this time i've been cleaning myself down there with soap like just the whole complete area the labias and vulva.
If i've been doing this this whole time that means i probably have an infection by now since im 16? i get daily vaginal discharge. and if so what can i buy so i can be safe and have good proper hygiene thank uu

Help....

im 17 yrs old and i got the coil fitted only 5 days ago... i got it because me and my partners condom split and i took the morning after pill too late so i got the coil as an emergency....

ive decided im going to keep it and use it as protection for the next 5 years.
But the problem is im prone to infections....

Ive had herpes and bacterial viagnosis and thrush before, when i got the coil 5 days ago i havnt stopped bleeding... as if i was on a normal period... so god knows what my period is going to be like...

ive just realised i have got thrush now.. will this lead to an infection in my womb? will i get infertile from it? ive been using tampons cause of the bleeding, should i not? do you suggest i get the coil removed? ive been on tablets to stop infections... will this stop an infection for sure?

has anyone got any personla experiences or tips to give to me?
im rlly nervous... help!!!!!!!

I started taking the depo shot and it seriously is drying me up...I have not had a period since using the shot and Im on my 4th (stupid me for getting it again with all the problems I have had down there). I do spot every once in awhile and its basically the end of the 3 months I have a little spotting.
Im not able to clean out myself. Im so dry in there. I have to use KY inserts for myself and my partner uses KY as well, caue I am unable to make my own fluids anymore with this shot. therefore I am unable to clean myself out
when we have sex everytime there is blood, new blood, dried old blood, old clotty blood, its disgusting. sex life is really not there anymore cause of this problem.
everyone says douching is bad but what else can I do myself? I need to clean out the blood that continues to stay up in there becaue my body is unable to clean it out itself like it should.

Did anyone who had large fibroid tumors in uterus successfully go another route than surgery to deal with the problem of pain, etc. My gyne told me my uterus has doubled in size since Januaary, I have two large fibroids, and there is no other option than partial hysterectomy. I'm in lots of discomfort as my uterus is pushing against my bladder and stomach but I would like to avoid surgery if possible. Thanks.

It's my family reunion and we're going swimming. I don't want to seem like a dud by not swimming but I also don't want to announce to my family that I'm on my period. I REALLY want to swim but I can't use a tampon. Is there anything else I can do?

Has anyone had a breast reduction?
How did it go? Did you get good results? Was there a lot of scarring?
I am a 6'2 tall girl with 36 E breasts and I have excruciating pain in my neck. My back also hurts but not as much as my neck. So I would like to get my breasts reduced to a cup size C. Also, I am an athlete (basketball) and smaller breasts would definitely make running easier.
What risks are involved?
What will happen when I decide to have kids?
Will they get as big again as they are now?

Thanks
