Women's Health - October 2007

I used to be so skinny. All the time people would tell me I didn't know how lucky I was and that it would catch up with me someday. When I went on birth control, it did. It seems like my metabolism just stopped. Unfortunately, when I was super skinny, I never developed good diet and exercise habits, so it was hard to get into the habit once I wasn't skinny anymore. Now I'm not on birth control anymore, but it doesn't matter. I have to be so careful of what I eat. I am way more conscious now than I ever was before, but I'm still nowhere near where I need to be health-conscious wise. I stopped gaining weight and hit a plateau and I have so much problems motivating myself to get up and exercise. I still have a curvy figure, I don't appear to be overweight to a lot of people because I'm tall, but I see it. I miss my old self. I guess the moral of the story is that if you fall into the still-skinny-don't-exercise-or-eat-right genre, take heed, it will catch up with you and ...

For about a few weeks now i been experiencing extreme sharp pains in my vagina. I cannot walk properly, sit, or stand at times because of the pain. I am only 17 and a virgin and absolutely too embarrassed to tell my mom because she is going to assume im having sex which im not. so how do i figure out what is wrong without her knowing or does anyknow or think they know what is up? what if it doesnt go away soon?

well, i mean in general, not all girls, but for the most part. Because I am really skinny (my waste) and have small boobs (they are still there tho!) but my problem is I have a butt and big thighs. See, i'm a gymnast but it seems to have made them bigger because they are muscular. I hate them. but do guys like average legs, like boy size legs, or do they like curvy women on bottom?

is 8 3/4 inches actually TOO big? I have never met a girl who can take it all and they sometimes complain about pain. I'm worried it will effect my sex life my whole life. Is it possible to get an operation to reduce it maybe 2 inches?

At ages 14 to 17 years old young female womens started to have unprotectived sex with their partners soon of a later there belly grows big and try to hire an abortionist to clear their problems by killing the babies while inside the womb.

Do you agree that young girls should'nt have an unprotectived sex at ages 14 to 17 years old girls like that are sometimes get tempted by their partners to have sex.

I did a speech on this on my high school auditorioum and show some disturbing and educational footages about abortionist and how babies are born.

So I was obviously in a situation where a condom failed, and the next morning I went and got the Plan B pill. Took it as directed and a few days later I got my period for a very short cycle. Is there any chance I could still be pregnant?

i have hpv, that's what my doctor says i have. i know hpv is a sexually transmitted infection. my husband besides being at work is pretty much home with me or a relative who lives with us, so i'm postive he's not fooling around. i can always get a hold of him at home or at work. so what else can you get cervisitis from? could it be from the hpv? my doctor didn't say anything about a std and i'm postive she would, so i'm clear as far as i know.

What can cause it?

I haven't been in the mood for eating lately, but I'm usually I big eater that will eat most things they put infront of me. But I seem to not want food, like my body rejects it. And when I ate just a bagel with nothing on it I felt really sick afterwards.

When ever I shave my pubic hair I always get a red rash on the sensitive skin. I've tried hair removal creams as well but within a few hours my hair has already grown enough to be visible around my bikini line. Besides waxing, what can I do?

I've been dieting and exorsizing for a month now, and I just started my period for the first time that I've been doing this. For the week leading to my period, I worked the hardest, but didn't loose a thing. Now that I'm 3 days into it, I've lost a couple pounds. So I was wondering if pre-period is it harder to loose weight? Or during your period? (I wasn't bloating or cramping or anything, so it wasn't weight from that, if you do gain any from bloating)

I just changed my birth control from Sprintec to Yaz. I am concerned that because of the different amount of 'non-active' pills, that it will cause my cycle to be delayed, or skipped. Is this possible? Are there other side effects from changing from one BC to another?

I had just missed their call and when I called back the office was closed and I got the answering service. According to posted office hours which coincide with the hours stated on their message, they should still be open for another hour and a half.
I like my doctor very much but should I complain about staff not being avaiable when they say they will be?
I know I'm upset because I'm worried about my results (I'm 8 weeks pregnant) and I know that it's Friday afternoon and they were probably anxious to leave for the weekend...
Am I overreacting? Should I just let it go?

When I get my period it only lasts 2-3 days. I've talked to some of my friends and theirs last about 4-7 days. My first day is light-medium flow, the next day, somewhat light and the third day theres like nothing but the brown discharge. Is this normal to only have a period 2-3 days? I mean I'm not complaining cuz its so nice, but I'm just curious.

I went to the doctor today because I am having sharp pains under my belly button down to around my bladder. I've had this after sex which was 3 days ago and tsill do. The lower pain has seem to risen to under my belly button and I have a lot of gas but it doesnt subside. It hurts when I walk for the most part and raise my leg. Not really just sitting there. My doctor said it could be a cyst and took some tests to rule out pid but i have to wait to find out and im flipping out. I dont think its pid but he mentioned that and scared me and I dont have an std that I know of i been with my bf 2 years. What does this sound like it cuold be? Do cysts cause pain higher in your intestines? Also I feel like I had a similar stomach ache like this before when I ate weird things by my doc dismissed it was my intestines. Does pid usually cause pain that high in the area to? I have no fever or vomiting. Please help!

I have been getting a semi heavy period for about two weeks now. i went to my gyno and he said that i have a small cyst on my left ovary since i didn't ovulate last month, but it should be gone in about two weeks. i'm 18 years old and i just started my period about a year and a half ago.. my mom was a late starter, she also had a cyst at about my age. Is it normal to have a prolonged period after not ovulating? This is scary to me, i just need some peace of mind ! =D thanks!
