Women's Health - December 2007

i'm 18
5'2''
120 lbs.
athletic build
and i'm happy with my body except MY HUGE BOOBS!
they're not proportionate with my body....at all.


i want to get a breast reduction covered by my insurance (tufts)

i have:
-obvious neck pain
-indents in my shoulders from bra strap
-lower back pain
-bump at the bottom on my neck (spine)
-i'm getting hunch backed
-difficulty working out. the movement of them hurts my chest afterwards
-breathing feels deep and heavy

i have even dropped 10 lbs since the summer to see if i'd drop a size in my chest...and i'm left with a smaller body and the same size boobs. so now i look even more odd.


my questions are.....

do you think i have a chance here to get a breast reduction covered by my insurance?

who judges whether or not insurance will cover it, and what is their criteria, specifically?

what are the steps i have to take to start this process?

(please share a personal story if you have one.)

thank you!

As they say only people that live in hot countries can start early. I am from Scotland, Uk. So of course i didnt live in a hot country, but i know for a fact that i started at 8, and at the time the doctor told me its normal, every girl is different. Are they right, is my doctor right? where can i find the right answer as to prove to them. I am gratefulf or any help xx

Well I turned 18 in October. Recently I have started checking my breasts so I was laying in bed and I pressed on my right breast a little bit and on the side where my arm is in the middle I felt what I think is a lump so it got me worried and I looked on the internet at the symptoms but I dont have any of the symptoms. I read somewhere where your breasts get lumpy because they are still developing maybe this is what this could be but i'm 18 so they should be developed by now shouldnt they?

I am 22 y/o and for the most part, I have a normal period that lasts 5-7 days, and occurs about every 3 weeks. My period started on Nov. 23 (which was around the normal time), but instead of stopping after 5-6 days, it hasn't slowed down much at all. I'm now on day 17 (Dec. 10).

Earlier today it seemed to slow down enough so that I didn't have to worry about wearing any sanitary pads or anything, but just now (after laying down for bed and trying to sleep for an hour), I realized that the flow picked up again. Before today, it hadn't slowed at all (this was the first time).

It hasn't been super heavy the whole time, but just a regular constant flow I guess. I haven't done anything different from what I've always done, I'm not on the pill, and I also am NOT feeling any of the other side effects that I normally get when menstrating (cramps, bloating, etc.)....

I have an appointment to see the doctor in a little over a week, but does anyone have any idea what's wrong??? Thanks

I lost my virginity last week to my boyfriend who I love and it did hurt. I have had sex with him three times and every time it really hurts when he first enters me and then the pain goes away after a few seconds and then it's fine. Is it just because my body is new to this and will the initial pain go away with time? I don't think I have a medical condition because I don't have any pain when we are having sex, only right when he enters me. Any input would be great! Thanks!

Is it true that when a girl is about to get her periods, seven days before and after the date, conceiving can increase chances of pregnancy? BEFORE and AFTER the date, is it so that having sex during that period can cause pregnancy.??

anal sex :(

We still didnt have sex yet since I have never had anal sex before.
What should I do? Should I let him do that? Why is he interested in that only?

Is it healthy? Is it ok? Have you ever done that? Do you allow your guy to do it for you?

Thanks

It’s been four weeks now since the (vaginal) birth of my son and I have been having weird stomach problems. Anytime I eat something I get stabbing pains in my stomach. As soon as I take a bite of food within five minutes I get this sharp stabbing pain in my stomach. I was wondering if it could be from my stomach going back to normal or something else. My husband mentioned in might be an ulcer and I plan on going to the doctor next week to get it checked. I was just wondering if someone knew what might cause this and if it could possibly be normal.
