Women's Health - November 2007

I'm 16 and for the past week i have had a lump in my lower left abdomen. It is not on the surface, i have to press to feel it. It extends from my left hip bone to just before my pubic bone. It seems to come and go, but today it didn't go away and it is big like the size of a small banana and it's hurts sometimes if i press too hard. The lump does not go away if i have a bowel movement. I am really worried. What could this lump be? What should i do?

I was a very picky eater when I was little. But when I hit puberty at early 12, I started to eat a lot of junk food and food from restaurant. But I didn't get fat at all. I reached my fullest bust (built) and height at early 13 (I spent my whole 12th year growing). My height went from 4'11 to 5'2 and my bust went from 28A to 36.5A, which is a huge change for an Asian girl!!!!!!!!

So I want to know what caused my bust (built) to become this big? So please help me out if you know. Could it be the food I was eating? I've always thought maybe I could have stayed at least a 29A if I had stayed away from all those food.

I'm 15, and I masturbate. I've used things other than my hands before, and was wondering if since I've never bleed, is it still in tact? I don't really care one way or another, just curious. I don;t ever remember bleeding or having it break while playing soccer or anything. I also don't ever remember masturbating hurt. I've never bled masturbating either. I've used something at least 5 inches long, and sort of thick, not emtremely though. Do you think my hymen is broken? Or not? Wouldn't it have broken while masturbating?

But when im 'cleaning' myself or 'wiping' after going the loo...a strange substance comes out SOMETIMES. it sometimes also comes out when im just walking around or whatever. It is sort of see through..but its not like a liquid..its more of a sticky gel type substance? it is so embarrasing for me and i havn't a clue what it is! can someone please please help me!!??

My periods due in 3 days...
For the past 3 days(including today), I have been gettin cramps, but every now and then I get this very bad feeling, the best way I can describe it as is, its like someones hand wraps around my uterus and sqeezes the sh*t out of it, I literally have to stop walking, if I'm walking at the time, and a few times even bend over, and then it goes away(it lasts about a good 10 seconds), this has been happening for the past 3 days, along with normal cramping, and I notice after I eat it starts getting stronger, but it's in my uterus area not my intestines, but also I'm having pulling like pains in both my ovary areas, yes I'm sexually active(with one gu, for 3 yrs)& yes I'm disease FREE, so thats just to clue u in. Why do u think I'm having these excrutiating pains, even though it lasts for a few seconds?

Could someone please tell me, why would a hospital contact you back after going through series of testing and finding a Cyst on my Pancreas, and being re-assured that you will be fine, that's it's just a Cyst, and you will need a follow up in three months. This was a couple of weeks ago, when I was told this. Now yesterday I was called from the hospital in regards to them needing back as soon as I can to get an Ultra-Sound on my Pancreas again. Radiologists needs to see my Pancreas again, so soon. Could it be that my MRI was mis-diagnosed? I have already had two Ultra-Sounds and one MRI within a couple of months when they first diagnosed the Cyst. Now I have to go again this week, when I'm not due for any future testing for another two and half months? You think that the radiologist caught something after I left the hospital from my results being told to me? This is scarey now, here I'm thinking I'm out of the woods, and now I'm called back in to do the same testing over the same Cyst

My grandmother had a mastectomy years back, and her insurance covers a free breast prosthesis and 2 bras. The problem is, the place she was accustomed to going is no longer open! The next available certified place is Nordstroms, and the Fitting "Specialist" appears to be no older than 20 y/o, and has about as much experience as I do! We've notified our insurance company about our dilemma, they claim only Nordstroms is available in our area. It's time for her renewal, she was hardly satisfied with the bras from last year, and we have no alternative. Any suggestions out there? We're welcome to all, this is so discouraging! Thanks to all feedback!

My boobs are sore a little bit earlier than ususal this month, they always get sore w/PMS, but usually they get sore 3-5 days later than when they started hurting I used condoms for the majority of last month combined w/my pill and have taken a home preg. test, (came out negative).
I also bought new minimizer bra's as i have really big boobs and as you will know minimizers are a little more snug than most other types of bra's

my question is should I attribute my tenderness (which my boobs are just sore, my nipples aren't sensitive or sore or anything like that) to the new bra's or PMS or both or the unlikly possibility of being pregnant?

my question is should i see my family doctor or a GYN? i'm registered under a new insurance plan (HMO) so i will be seeing a new MD either way. im 23yo female and i want to have a gynecological exam too (ive never had one before).

would it matter if i see a GYN or a family practitioner?

I have a question, how soon do your breasts begin getting tender as a result of PMS? Mine usually always do but they began getting tender about 3 days earlier than ususal... I don't think I could be pregnant as I was using a condom combined with my pill last month so the chances are VERY slim to none at all, but I also bought new minimizing bra's in the last 2 weeks as I have DDD's and wanted some added support.
Just curious what the reason they were sore earlier than ususal could be?

I find it really awkward to take shower in the gym.It is really annoying to see people running without clothes.I am kind of on the heavier side and I am very uncomfortable to run around like this.I could never understand the protocol.
Is it essential for girls to take shower after gym?
