Women's Health - December 2007

I'm 23 female and have been having pain in my temples, mostly the left side. Feels like my temple is on fire. I feel a sensation of almost burning/heated feeling. I've had this for about 3 months now. I went to a neurologist, and had an mri. The mri showed that the cause of my heated pain in my temples in Trigeminal Neuralgia. I do have a shocklike pain in my high cheekbone area as well, with mostly being on the left side. My MRI of the brain showed, that my Pituitary gland is enlarged, and the neurologist thinks there is no tumor present. My neurologist prescribed antiseizure medication, which i've been taking for 3 weeks, and has no effect at all, i've tried endomethacin & Carbatrol, and also Topamax for migraines, with no relief of this heated pain. Could the pituitary gland be the cause of my heated pain?, anybody with these symptoms out there?! Any suggestions? Thanks.

I stopped taking the pill just over 10 weeks ago. My partner & I are using condoms now until after the wedding, but we wanted 2 get the pill out of my system 1st, so have gone off it. Still waiting for my 1st normal period! have had 3 preg tests (just incase - even tho we've been careful) and are all neg. Saw my doc after 8 wks and he said it can take up to 10 wks to get 1st period. Now Im going away for 3 weeks and cant see the doc again. i hope i get them whilst away. but if not, then its 13-14 weeks till i get back and see the doc. Have had the odd quick stab of pain and thought im about to get them, but no. this has happened all the way through (not just more lately).
Is 10 weeks really the max time? Is there something wrong with me or should i patient until i get back?
Thanks in advance... :)

And when I went to the toilett , I had white Discharge. Which yeah i know is normal, but there was like a reddy substance on it.. But like i got Toilet paper and wiped and it didn't Show on the toilet paper but it did and then it went more pinky kind of on my undies and i couldn't tell if it was my period or what. Like there was hardly ANY,

Many Girls and Boys do not get time for Regular STD testing from physician.
So Inflatable dolls and Sex toys should be distributed in every city, like Condoms are free at Health dept .?


Star Please if you can .

And I just had sex. We used protection. But I'm wondering, what are the chances of pregnancy?
My period usually comes around the end of one month, or the beginning of another.

Just trying to take precautions.. :)
Thank you!

I called NHS driect who are calling back,what do you think they might say?

I have had it 3 years ish. For the last 3-4 days i have been bleeding. I have only been bleeding enough so that i notice it when i wipe myself. There has been no blood in my knickers. I have also been getting really sharp pains, lasting a minute or so in my lower abdomen, on my right side.
I have told this to NHS direct and they are going to call me back. What might this be?
Could i be pregnant? I used to have really heavy, painful periods along with diahorrea, before getting the coil in, but these eased since getting it fitted, however the last period was really bad like before i had it in.

What might this be?

I had unprotected sex 2 days before my period. From that, I received genital herpes and a few days later I took acyclovir (for the herpes), will the medicine make me be late for my next period or could I be pregnant, even though I did have my period 2 days after the sex?

1) ok for my first question, how old were you when you started masturbating (girls) im 13 and yes...sometimes i masturbate. i dont feel that guilty for doing it because its all natural and its not like it causes any harm.
2) ok for the second question, why do people think its so bad to tell pre-teens what masturbating is or how to masturbate? ive seen lots of questions about girls and how to masturbate but on all of them, there has only been about one answer that would acually tell them. why do people think its so bad to pleasure yourself when you are not doing harm to your body? this second question is mainly to the people that say something like "your too young to know" or something like that on someones question.

What foods/drinks should i consume or what medicines are there to trigger a menstrual period?
someone told me I should have a sort of cinnamon drink, but it turns out cinnamon delays periods. and i need to get mine started because it's been absent for 3 months now (and no, i am not pregnant or have an eating disorder. the absence of my period is due to stress).

so please, if anyone knows of anything that'll work (food, drink, medicine, etc.) to get my period going, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

p.s. i don't want to go to a gynecologist. so while you may be itching to throw out that piece of advice, please don't and answer the question. thanks again!

Okay, I've been thinking about birth control and my mom thinks it could be a good idea too. But I have no clue where to start. I know talking to a doctor would be a good first step but I want some outside intake. Does anyone have any suggestions to what brand or type would be good for me? Or what I should STAY AWAY from? Im "younger" and just started being sexually active. And i have obviously never been on birth control before. Any suggestions. I would even like risk factors and odds if you have them. Thanks. I would really appreciate anything! :P

My boyfriend wants to try but I told him tearing could happen without some kind of lubrication and he suggested lotion. What do you think? Would it be harmful?

About a month ago I got the depo shot and it seems as though I am tighter down there. Is this what happends when you get the shot. I mean I know it is supposed to make your cervical muscles tighten. I just dont want this tightness to make sex painful. Any insight into this or experiences you have had?

For about 6 months now I have been deathly terrified of throwing up or getting sick. My mom thinks it's always because I am high stress and nervous but I feel like i'm sick all the time. I even feel nauseous during most of my day so i have been taking fever reducers and have become dependent on them! If anyone has advice for me please let me know!

I took my last pill on November 27. My withdrawal bleed started on the 29 and ended on the 2. All month I was fine up until about 2 weeks ago when I started getting nausea that lasted all day long and gets worse at night, I've actually had a couple of instances where I've run to the restroom thinking I was getting sick, painful, shooting type pains in both breasts, they are swollen as well. Weird cramping/ pulling/ aches in my abdomen and CRAZY mood swings. I've snapped on so many people and felt out of control with my emotions recently. Really bad headaches that seem to last for days. (And a stuffy nose, although that's probably unrelated). And a yeast infection, which I NEVER get, and no, I haven't taken any antibiotics that could make me get one.

I'm just wondering if this sounds normal? I thought that if I were going to experience side effects of going off the pill that it would have happened closer to the time that I quit taking them, not almost a month later?

I Already Know That Taking Other Drugs While On Birthcontrol Lowers The Affectiveness Of It. & I'm Starting On A SLIM-FAST Diet & I'm NOT Sure What Kinds Of Stuff It Has In It. Like If It Has A Certain Kind Of Weight Loss Drug In It Or Wat. & I Don't Want To Get Pregnant...

My girlfriend and I have tried a couple of times to have sex but we've consistently run into a problem. It feels like there is something blocking the inside vagina. It feels as if I can only put the tip of my penis in and she felt it was in the wrong place. Do you know what could be happening/what I am doing wrong?

We think it might be her hymen that we may have not broken...but could this be true?

*note* One position seemed to feel "right" as she was sitting on my lap with her back to me.

I'll be seeing a doctor soon, but is there anything I should be knowledgable about? I don't have any cramping or discharge. The only thing I feel is that sort of 'icky' feeling that I should be having a period, but there's nothing. As far as I know there is no history of any disease in my family that could mess with my cycle. What could be wrong, and what exactly should I ask my doctor when I finally see him?
