Women's Health - August 2007

I've been experiencing hotflashes--in my leg! It's very sporadic and lasts less than a minute each time. At first i was joking that someone must have a voodoo doll of me and they're dangling it over a flame but now that it's happened several times (always the same spot) I am wondering if it could be a sign of poor blood circulation in that leg.

I'd hate to dismiss something potentially dangerous but it seems like such an odd symptom, it's hard to take it seriously. Thoughts anyone??? Thanks!

I am already short tempered but near that time of the month my anger intensifies....my close friend has a thing for incessantly talking about her self (her views, her days, her adventures, blah blah blah). And she claims she's a "good listener." Sh'es also pretentious, thus we clash. I do admit she's very smart. Its overdoing it that's the problem.
I come very close to erupting in swearing words.
I also get more self-deprecative due to the bloating

Any suggestions

okay, for me personally it seems like sex has become such a casual "event" in my life, and in my opinion kissing is more personal than having sex with someone! does anyone else feel this way? (oh, and im 25 & have just recently found my "person", so im not currently sleeping around, but in the past, well thats history, lol)

im just wondering if im the only one that feels this way... i feel like it goes from sex, to kissing, to oral sex... with oral being the most personal?

It is a moral/religious issue for the individual woman. A moral dilemma to be sure, but why or how exactly is it a social and political issue? Please explain your answer as best you can, focusing on the social and political aspects w/o reference to the moral/religious issues which are limited to the women who finds themselves having to decide whether or not to follow the medical advice. they get.

So I was having sex for the second time with my boyfriend of 3 years-- I lay down on my back and lifted my legs up. He stuck "it" in and I screamed. We looked at my vagina and there was(still is) a TEAR/RIP at the bottom outside of my vagina. It bled a little and burns when I pee/touch it. Will it HEAL? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!

When I go pee , there's a white something in it. This has happened probably the last 3 or 4 times I've went to the bathroom. I don't really know how to describe it, but i'll try. It's not slimey or thick..It's about an inch long and half an inch wide and the thickness of a sheet of paper. It looks more dried than wet. Maybe somebody else has had this and can describe it better. It's not painful. I don't think it's any kind of discharge either, but I could be wrong.

Do you have endometriosis and:

1- have you been able to have children?
2 - did any women in your family have this condition?

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis 2 years ago. My first surgery (laparoscopy) was both diagnostic and therapeutic. I was relatively pain-free following the surgery for a little over a year. My 2nd laparoscopy was done earlier this year because I was in severe pain (pelvic, leg, and lower back). It got to be so unbearable that I began having difficulty walking. After the 2nd laparoscopy, the pain seemed better, but not totally gone. Over the past 2 weeks the pain has been severe.

I'm just wondering if there are other women who have dealt with this (or are going through this now) and can maybe shed some light on things for me.

For example, would a petite woman have a smaller vagina that a large woman? [scientifically speaking, real question, just something i was wondering]

I have been on Aviane since September 2006, but starting in May, I start breakthrough bleeding on the 3rd to last day of my active pill every other month. I talked to a random nurse (I don't usually see her) at my gynecologist's office and she said that the bleeding is just annoying but I should still be safe. I know that she is a nurse and that I should be able to trust her, but I have read on reputable websites that breakthrough bleeding after the third month on birth control means your prescription is too weak and that you are not protected. Does anyone have any experience with this?? My boyfriend and I use spermicidal condoms anyway, but I am just curious about this stupid pattern. She gave me a prescription for Lo-Ovral, but I would rather stay on Aviane if I am protected and just bear through the annoying bleeding every other month (weird, I know). Thanks.

Also: about to have dental work done and I am going to be on Valium and Vicodin - i dont think those interfere or do they?

I've been been taking ortho tricyclen lo for 2 years and noticed a VERY big decline in my sex drive. Im going to switch over to desogen (sp). Should I take extra precaution while having sex, or will it just be as effective. Also, if anybody is on Desogen, did you experience any weight gain because I would like to be on somethign that puts some weight on me !

Since about January my periods have been irregular whereas always before that were consistent. In March I had my period twice, then 6 weeks later in May and not since then. During this time, I increased amount of exercise - running about 3 miles per day and light weight lifting. In addition, I am also a student so stress may be a factor. However, I have had severe gas, bloating, and constipation. It has gotten progressively worse overtime. Generally, when I eat something my stomach hurts. Some things do not bother it as much, such as popcorn but foods like Mexican and drinking beverages like beer make me really uncomfortable and in a lot of pain. The pain is slightly sharp and severe enough to interfere with my life. I've been to a gastrologist who is giving me meds, to learn what I have or what will make me better trial by error. I don't want to wait months after trying different meds. Has anyone had similar symptons?

Okay, well I have my period and it's been a few days since I got it this month. Anyway, I've never used a tampon before and since I'm going swimming and can't use a pad, I don't know what to do. I'm going swimming tomorrow by the way. I know how to use a tampon but one time I tried putting one in and it kind of hurt. I barely got it in 1/2 an inch. Can anyone help?

Does masturbating mean you are not a virgin, does it count as abstaining from sex?

Soo...I'm still a bra size 28A, and I'm in the 8th grade. Be honest with me now - is this small for my age?
AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - No comments like "Everyone is different, you'll develop at different times", or "Don't worry about them. They'll come sooner or later." Just, in general, is this small for my age???
