Women's Health - November 2007

Ok, so i've decided that at 26 i should probably go for a basic check at a GUM clinic. I have no reason to believe there is anything wrong, just for peace of mind really. The thing is i keep putting it off just as i don't really know what happens. I have now made an appointment but just wonder if someone can give me the lowdown on what tests they do and how, so i'm prepared

I am 18 and I just had my first annual exam at my Mom's doctor. When I went in they had me change into a gown and checked my breasts and it was ok, but then she said now it's time for the pelvic and the next bit was just awful!!. I had to lie down and they lifted my feet up and spread my legs open. They even put my ankles in things at the end of the couch to hold my legs apart . She put her fingers inside me and I could not see what she did because of a drape but it felt like she put a needle in me. I have never had this exam before, I hated having my legs held up like that. Do they do this every year? I have not had any problems down there and was not expecting an intimate exam.

I am 27 and admittedly i am overweight and for the past two weeks i have been feeling really rough my symptoms are headaches, feeling sick and a general feeling of being completely out of it. I was recently diagnosed with having a herniated stomach and gallbladder problems and it has been recommend that i have my gallbladder removed. I have been under a great deal of stress recently and i am in a job that is not keeping my mind occupied and that i find rather boring. I also have a low progesterone level and desperately want to start a family with my partner but i think that i should get my weight and health under control first. Up until about 6 years ago i was a healthy size 10 but now i have gone up to a 18/20 for no apparent reason - could this be the hormone in balance? I am really struggling to get everything back under control and my doctor is not very pro active with these things - any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really getting me down.

A few days ago, I started having pain when urinating and wiping. It was very itchy and the sides would bleed when I used T.P. to scratch it. Yesterday, it started not only hurting a lot when I wipe, but my clitoris started hurting a lot and throbbing after I used the restroom. I've had yeast infections before, and one bladder infection, but nothing like this. I've been taking Pearls, but it's not helping. Going to try Cranberry, but may end up getting to the doctor. If anybody has had this before please let me know...it sucks!

Do you guys think minority of women that have had abortion would have post abortion syndrome while the majority of other women don't?

I don't trust the statistics. I think there's more since women tend to be not opened about their sufferings from abortion. But I think there may be more women that don't have post abortion syndrome since imnotsorry.com has more stories than the stories of women that do regret their abortions.

After my period stopped for the first time, i was diagniosed wiht PID, after i was cured of the infetcion I stayed a year wihtout having any menstrual cycle. Then after a boost in iron and fish oil it came once then stopped again.I canot take hormones or any other heavy medication because i can't handle it in terms of side effects.Is there anyway that can cure my amenorrhea other than the hormones(i cannot take them at all).Isn't it a good sign that it came after a year of abscence? but now it has been 2 months and a half and no sign.The thing is that some PMS symptoms are there every months like heavy constipation, light cramps, sugar cravings and aggressive mood.So i really need to cure my amenorrhea cz it is stressing out and i wanna have children one day.....i am 26 and not married but i am planning to. Please i am desperate i really need ur help! thank you.

She says that it fells like a contraction. She says it feels like it is pulling at her uteris. She is not pregnant. She has a 3 year old so she compares the feeling to that of contractions. Also they come and go but today she said there has been a few intense ones. She is not pregnant we do know that!!! We have scheduled a Dr. appt. with a gynecolist but it is in two weeks.

I was taking Yasmin for about 2-1/2 years. I started having some problems with muscle twitching, so my nurologist suggested that I think about any medication I started taking when the symptoms started. That was yasmin. So I asked my gyn to switch me. She put me on Loestrin 24. I hated it. I had breakthrough bleeding all the time. I was on it for two months and switched to Femcon fe. The first month was good, but now that I am half way through my third month, I have breakthrough bleeding and mild cramps almost every day. Also - my hair is getting very, very thin. I'm freaking out. My gp and gyn keep telling me not to worry and to stay on the pill through the 4th month. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to stay on it but I'm afraid if I get off of it, it will casue another hormone change and my hair loss will get worse or take even longer to correct itself. Please help. Do I stay on it or stop taking it.
