Womens Health Questions and Answers
Can anyone supply me their personal experiences near pelvic exams?
I'm sixteen and ever since I started my period, I've gotten exceptionally bad cramps to the point where on earth I've been physically under the weather. I've started missing school because of the aching, so my mom is now making me purloin the pill since it's supposed to help, and so I'm being set up next to an OBGYN. My mom's told me that they'll probably want to give me a pelvic exam, and explained the enormously basics of what it'd consist of. Having never be to a gynecologist before, I guess it's pointless to say I'm a bit frightened. Can anyone shed some oil lamp on the subject and/or give me their personal experiences? It'd be greatly appreciated and hopefully back me be a little smaller quantity nervous.Answers: I be nervous when I have my first visit too. I have to go when I be your age and for the exact same reason. Let me purely start off by axiom, it's worth it for the birthcontrol because it does help a large amount.
So the visit itself may come across a little unnatural your first time, but you'll get through it okay. My best direction to you is to try and not tense up too much. The more you taut up, the more uncomfortable you will be when they examine you. I be tense on my first examine, it hurt when they put the speculum within. It wouldn't normally hurt you, but if your muscles are locked up, that can be a tender experience. So try an remain as calm as possible, the total exam doesn't even take 8 minutes. They spend more time asking you question then anything else. Just focus on the reality that it doesn't last that long and soon it will be over. That's what help me, even til this day and it's be 7 years since I've been going. Don't sweat it.
I have my 1st visit to the OB/GYN contained by high conservatory. I'm 35 and I never get use to it. You can ask your doctor to make conversation you through the process. They should be able to explain respectively step with you as they are going through it.
Once you capture in the stirups (where you put your feet) they could check the outside for anything unusual. They hold this liquid (KY jelly) that they use to spawn the speculum go contained by easier. It is a lubricant. You do have to RELAX. If you are tight it hurts. I try to focus on breathing and thinking this will be over soon. Once the speculum is in they overt it up so they can check you out on the inside. They usually take a swab and swipe the inside for a pap smear (to see if at hand are any abnormal cells). They will after take out the speculum. Some doctors will put their finger surrounded by the vagina to feel around for anything unusual (again). They will press on your tummy and pelvic area. Some doctors will also put a finger up your rectum to check that out. Once i.e. done you are pretty much set for the exam. (They also do a breast exam too--most of the time in the inauguration.)
Just remember to relax. Some doctors talk through the complete thing to help yourself to your mind off of it. Ask the doctor if they will meander you through the exam. That way you know what is stirring.
Good luck.

I have white discharge (white,odorless,so I know its not an infection)! does this mean Im going to grasp it. I know your not a pshycic but app. when
Answers: Hey.
Truly.
No one can really know exactly when your period will start.
but dont verbs about it and relax motive when it starts it SUCKKSS!
Have you never had your extent before? It honestly sounds to me resembling you are depressed. Those symptoms should only be around for a hours of daylight or two before you certainly get your extent. If you can't sleep, are depressed and/or crying, having severe mood swings, can't concentrate, drinking a lot (to the point of purchase weight) you might be depressed instead of about to draw from your period.
I assume, for most women, when they are about to carry their period they might experience one or two of these symptoms and they would be fundamentally minor. They physical symptoms tend to be more common and severe.
If you are experiencing adjectives these symptoms and you don't have your term in a afternoon or two, I would talk to someone something like depression. Just a thought!
Honestly, if ur sexually active and own regular periods u could be pregnant. if ur not pregnant it could be pms.
How can I give an account if it's implantation bleeding or merely a side effect of birth control pills?
I recently started on birth control pills (progestin individual, if that makes a difference). It be about a month ago that I started. My period are normally extremely regular, and my last one be. It started two weeks ago yesterday (September 24) and ended on that Friday night(Sept 28). But consequently yesterday, I noticed I be bleeding. It started out a brownish color but is now more red, but it's not tremendously heavy. Does this nouns like a side effect of the pill or could it be implantation bleeding?Answers: It's probably the pill, but a short time ago to be sure, call your doctor. While combo pills prevent ovulation, progesterone-only (mini-pills) do not...they of late make the integral reproductive cycle unpleasant for a pregnancy to occur (thin the facing, etc). So if you took your pills EXACTLY as you were supposed to and be NEVER late (not even by an hour -- timing on the mini is VERY important) next the chance of pregnancy would be smaller amount than 2%. But again, check with your doc.
What can basis nipple discharge/leaky breast?
my breast have clear sticky discharge from the nipple, it have been doing it for heaps months on and off my time of year..why? i thought your breasts didnt run unless you were on your per. or preg.Answers: Excess prolactin level can cause that. Time to progress to the Doctor!
A high prolactin horizontal. Go to a doctor and have a blood theory test done. If your prolactin level is lofty they will probably want to do an MRI to check for a pituitary tumor. These are usually benign but can do alot of damage. Good Luck!
For a girl(Slimy)?
Is that slimy stuff between your legs normal for girls that are 14 to own? My friend has this slimy stuff between her legs and she be asking me what it is and is it normal. Is it and what cause it? and what should i tell her?Answers: Hmmmm I'm not exactly sure what your truism but if its what I think it is, its call discharge, and is completely normal. You can usually identify it beside a yellow-ish color on you underwear. If there is profusely of it or maybe its not a yellow-ish color [like kinda pale] it could niggardly infection or inflamation [a.k.a Mucopurulent discharge] if that what is it she should talk to her mom, or a doctor no issue what the emmbarassment, it could be serious. Now don't freak out, if she just have slimy stuff its probobly discharge and she shouldn't worry at adjectives, it happens to everyone.
If you want to know more or less discharge, go to

Am I still a virgin?
I kept my socks on. That means I'm still a virgin right? Am I still at my 17th virginity, or do I enjoy to move on to my 18th virginity? I plan on staying a virgin until I'm married and my boyfriend said that this opening it doesn't count. Also, is it still considered sex if there is a third individual involved?Thanks!
Answers: Of course!
I cant believe the stupidity of people on this forum. If the penis go in, but you are not fully undressed, it is NOT sex!
It's your CHOICE on whether or not you want to remain a virgin after you enjoy had sex. I enjoy CHOOSED to remain a virgin after having sex 19 times. So I'm still a virgin! I'm so elated on your choice to remain abstinent. I support you whole-heartedly.
Its funny how these sex-rights-activists say that you are BORN a virgin. Can you believe how impossible that is? God would not allow that! IT IS A CHOICE! SINNERS!
PLEASE let somebody know me you're just playing around. Because otherwise you're TOO STUPID to have sex.
If a penis go in, virginity is gone. It doesn't thing if you're fully dressed or wearing a sock on your left ear....sex is sex is sex, and once it's done, you're done. And it doesn't thing if its 2 people or 20.... again, sex is sex.
Oh, and PLEASE use a condom or something....DON'T REPRODUCE!
YOU HAD SEX!!
That mean's you are NOT a virgin anymore. Duh!
Three race, two, two hundred seventy eight, it's still sex.
If you had sex, you are not a virgin.
Your boyfriend doesn't nouns very trustworthy. Either that or he's stupid.
Penis surrounded by vagina = no virgin.
Doesn't matter if you have socks on - or a bear suit on. You're not a virgin.
Very funny.
The merely way keeping your socks on would abet would be if you kept them on your crotch. Not very imagined, I guess.
18th virginity, eh? Did you wear your socks each time? LOL
i other wear my socks ;)
but no you're not a virgin..
theres not such thing as 17th or 18th virginity
you're solely a virgin once..
after sex once..
its gone forever
keep ur socks on :D
no, i'm pretty sure if here are more than two people involved it doesn't count as sex.
and thank decency that you kept your socks on!! yes, always vacate your socks on as this will also prevent any unwanted pregnancy or stds.
virginity really isnt defined...it is up to the person to digit that out...im not going to be rude or critical of you...have sex as much as you want...as long as its next to someone you love...and make sure you hold no regrets...
you are not stupid for asking that question...
Dont be a fool...wrap his tool...;D
Absolutely!
And... though this is really for the religion page... you would still be a virgin if you own a child that convinces people he's the son of god!
you know who say you have to loose your virginity! you could own sex and still be a virgin ,it happens ,I go and get confused though with the thrid being ,orgy is more like it!
Good for you!
Well if you kept you socks on consequently yeah probably still a virgin, definitely if there's another soul, sex is between A man, and A woman. Not A man, A woman, and Another man.

Life is precious, individuals fight to stay alive even an extra second; throwing that away is a waste.
You're exactly the sort of character we need MORE of within this world, we can't spare even one. We all call for you here, so stick around.
I won't tell you to travel to therapy if you aren't interested. You hold to meet a psychotherapist half course or it doesn't help.
Meditate, revise self hypnosis, learn astral projection and lucid dreaming. Turn your brain from an opponent into your best friend. There's a million ways to do it, and they are all worth it.
Find Jesus, find Buddha. Become a scientologist for crying clearly, but don't just be another dried up bright girl who kills herself.
You stipulation to change how you see the world. It's easier than you mull over.
You need to find a few ways to cope next to the depression, that's all.
Diaries are polite. Meditation can help, so can positive affirmations. All three are ways to choose what your mind think about. If you rob control of your thoughts, and choose not to feel unpromising, believe it or not, you can drive depression and suicidal thoughts away.
You know how if you try you can convince yourself that you feel sick? It works the other opening too, you can convince yourself you feel great.
MEDITATION FOR DUMMIES is a devout book, THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING is another. Your local library should have both. If not email me, I'll suggest other ones that are perfect too.
Try this. Remember the cursed diary in HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS? Write a cursed diary. Think of a cynical thought or bad memory you want to bring rid of. Feel it like a muddy sludge stuck in your lead you want to get rid of.
Feel the sludge ooze out of your lead, down your arm, and out your hand as you write something like the memory onto a piece of paper. Write the memory or thought until you quality the sludge has poured out of your body into the weekly. The paper holds that evil thought presently.
Take the paper holding that thought and verbs it. Tear it up, burn it, scatter the ashes to the turn. That evil thought is now gone from your mind and your energy.
Trust me, it works.
You're in a tough time contained by life right in a minute. Your body is pumping out more hormones now that you ever have to deal next to before. The side effect is to get you feel EVERYTHING more intensely, cracked, sad, aroused, hungry... everything will seem to be like the most noteworthy thing ever. For the subsequent 4 years or so, you'll feel approaching a passenger in a motor being driven past its sell-by date a cliff by a drunken spastic monkey.
What I did seemed to work. Try and swot up to be a bit detached as much as you can, if you feel a strong sentiment assume it's not really yours, it's your body's problem. That way when the spastic monkey tries to sort you have a screaming fit over nought, you have a karma of stopping yourself in time.
The suitable news is by the time you find to college it'll all be over. So lately don't take your time within high university too seriously and you'll be fine.
Do this every day for a month. Lay down within a quiet room, close your eyes, and steal slow deep breaths. sort each inhale and exhale closing as long as you can.
First say to yourself "I surface my toes relaxing." and they will. Then say "I touch my ankles relaxing" and they will. Go all the path to the top of your head until you accomplish the top of your head.
Imagine that as you exhale that red smoke it blowing out your mouth as you exhale, deletion all the stress next to it. As it goes out of you, you'll discern your body getting lighter.
Just lay there, sensibly breathing, blowing out the stress, for about 20 minutes.
please please please dont murder yourself!
i dont think your dad hate you. maybe try chitchat toanother adult.
Try to relax. Write surrounded by a personal journal. Draw or paint or something close to that.
You need to in truth tell the citizens what exactly they are doing to hurt you. Because alot of times people purely don't understand. I have the same problem from the time I be little til when I moved out.
Talk in private to a therapist- approaching one at school or a guru. Your parents wouldn't need to know. Don't hurt yourself. Go for a stride around the block.

What could be cause spotting?

Answers: Post menstrual spotting is a difficult diagnosis. It often occur for unknown reasons. However, if it last more than 3 cycles in a row, it would be a biddable idea to see a gynecologist even if you don't really want to. The rationale is that post menstrual spotting can often be due to a cervical inflammation (cervicitis) or vaginal irritation. Those are slightly treatable if diagnosed correctly. I don't know of any home remedies that would even come close to treating this other than to merely do nothing and see if it go away

It individual itches when I stick my fingers in. Was wondering if it is some infection? I own this kind of discharge after my spell usually but this time there are more.

Answers: Try over-the-counted medication for yeast infections - Vagisil or some other cream or suppository. Use it all up and also put a ceiling on your intake of soda pop during that time. Eat at least one container of yoghurt. If it doesn't clear up hastily and completely, go to the doctor. What you hold described is definitely a yeast infection.
Your time shouldn't be late from a yeast infection - you may want to try a home pregnancy audition as well.
Chances are it's an infection, shift to the doctor.
