For girls solitary....... Im 17yrs ripened and havent started my period on the other hand is this regular??

Please help

Answers: Since you are 17 years of age afterwards I would discuss it with your Doctor. It could be due to a low substance, hormonal imbalance, anorexia or some other grounds. It's really best to discuss it with your Doctor. Most girls hold it by age 16. But everyone is different, I wouldn't worry in the order of it too much, just manufacture an appointment to discuss it with your Doctor.

The parliament tells us that if you haven't started by age 15 you should see a doctor. http://www.4women.gov/FAQ/menstru.htm#f
Sorry for answering since I'm a guy, but this happen more often than you suppose. The best thing to do is to consult beside a physician. I had a long-suffering recently who have this problem whom I prescribed contraceptives to regulate her hormones, and she is doing just fine.

  • Ovarian cysts?

    i started my period a few days ago and since next it's been sore over my ovaries. i usually expect rather discomfort but on occasion it's a short stabbing throbbing sometimes it's only a few second sometimes it's a little longer. when i apply pressure the spasm goes away. my mom doesn't appear to be worried but i am, i have a big pain threshold so i can switch it but i've never had spasm like that earlier. it's an odd features of pain really. i don't know if i should be worried or if i'm in recent times stressing about zilch?

    Answers: If you are honestly stressed then draw from it checked out. There few things more precious to a woman then human being able to hold children so it isn't something to play around with. For my honest evaluation though, I think it's merely normal pains. Every length you have the flow is going to change and also the pains. I have prearranged many women next to cysts and it's not a pain you would name a "discomfort." I have see then on the floor screaming contained by pain, I don't penny-pinching to scare you, a moment ago letting you know that I think you would be capable of tell if it be something very serious. Either style, if you feel something isn't right catch checked, the earlier things are found the better likelihood you have beside getting it treated.

  • SO confused on the hymen?!?!?

    Ok girls only....im sorry but im so freaking confused. IS the hymen or your "cherry" on the inside or crack of the vagina!!?! Alot of people articulate inside and im scared, but i also hear it was outside.
    I remember when i be really little i was curious "down there" and i tried to stick my finger contained by lol and it hurt really bad and later one day i finaly get it in....did i break it?

    If it is on the outside afterwards how can people insert tampons minus breaking it?

    Please girls be serious and DONT answer if u dont know!!

    Thanks ladies

    Answers: It's right at the opening, and detectable from the outside.
    Here's a picture of an intact hymen - anatomy not porn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymen

    It doesn't completely block the vagina in most women, and the hole can be big plenty or stretchy enough to allow a tampon contained by, but in a quantity of women using tampons will break the hymen.

    If you got blood contained by your undies or on your hands after getting your finger surrounded by then you probably at tiniest partly tore your hymen.

    I in some measure tore mine when I was 6 - I fell rotten my bike, then I tore it the rest of the opening when I was 10 through masturbating.
    You are contained by the right track. I think you know more than you infer.
    It is inside but outside. is right at the opening of your vagina. tucked underneath you inner labia, but not inside the vaginal waterway.
    It sounds like you broke throught it.
    its at the passage of ur vagina and u can wear a tampon w/o breaking it cause its apperintelly strechy but it will eventually break i read roughly speaking it on a website a couple months ago but i don remember which one if ur still urios ask an older sister your mom an aunt

  • Has anyone taken the Gardasil shot?

    My mom wants me to purloin it but she tells me that simply virgins can take it. This is slightly embarrassing to influence, but I want to ask if they do check-ups to see if you're a virgin or not. >_< With my mom being at hand and all. Plus my friends that already took the vaccine told me that Gardasil be the most painful shot they own ever had. Is this true?! I'm so worried.

    Answers: I've had it. Don't tolerate the scare battle get to you, it's not that doomed to failure, even though yes it is more painful than most other injections. Some relations did have side effects for the first injection (we have it at school) like nausea and dizzyness but most ethnic group were fine.
    And no, they don't check to see if you're a virgin...the shot is still successful if you aren't a virgin, it's just smaller amount effective because you hold already had sexual contact so you could already enjoy HPV.
    Don't be scared, it solitary takes a second and it's worth it to be safer.
    EDITED: I would resembling to respond to Dr. Kane's allegations below. Gardasil was approved by the FDA which have rigid standards in determining drug sanctuary. A drug has to live through several years of clinical trials and phases before it can be approved by the FDA. There are thousands of drugs that go amiss to gain the FDA's approval every year. One recent example was Pfizer's Torcetrapib which erstwhile in clinical trials. It be a famous drug that elevated HDL level. In addition, the CDC found no serious side effects beside Gardisil. The FDA and CDC are independent govt agencies that are not private companies and have no incentive to push Gardisil on the public. The American Cancer Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics are not mandate its use but they are not discouraging it's use or asking people to have another look at or wait for further carrying out tests. I don't know of any physician that is "mandating" that women use Gardisil any We provide information and our educated assessment but we would not ask patients to take something they have doubts about, and that go for any medication let alone Gardisil. There are risks but within my opinion, I estimate the benefits seriously outweigh the negatives at this point. Gardisil is not a model vaccine but it does guard againt two of the most high risk strains which can impact one's defense of acquire HPV and Cervical Carcinoma. The amount of aluminum in the vaccine is miniscule. People regularly consume much larger doses of aluminum contained by the form of aluminum hydroxide which is found in the antacids Maalox and Mylanta. I would be interested to see any independent double blind studies published within a peer reviewed journal such as JAMA showing aluminum products such as antacids motivation nerve sabotage. Physicians also take risks within prescribing this as many enjoy been involved surrounded by class action suits for prescribing medication. Physicians don't receive monetary bonuses from the drug company for prescribing this; it is bent and the physician could lose his license. Also, drug companies do not provide us with trips and other rewards as they once did 10 years ago. They banded together and signed a contract prohibiting trips and outrageous rewards as they once did. Also the organization cracked down on that as well. And contained by regards to gifts, okay I'm not that crazy for the neon green golf hats beside the drug company's logo on it. Yes, we do get catered lunches but we also receive sample of medication during those lunches that we pass on to the patients to reclaim them money. Most doctors don't like the catered lunches. It's honestly a bane of your existence and I don't need a catered lunch from the Olive Garden. It regularly impedes on the bureau time. Physicians deal next to drug reps to get the free sample and we want the samples so that we can surpass it on to our patients which saves them money. If we are don't congregate with reps next we won't receive boxes of samples of medication.

    Dr. Kane is a naturopathic "doctor." She is not a physician nor does she own a medical degree. Naturopathic prescription may be beneficial but their methods are not supported by evidence based prescription or randomized double blind clinical trials over several years. Their methods are often supported by anecdotal studies. Most of the research that supports naturopathic prescription is often perform by naturopaths and published in their own naturopathic journal. Naturopaths have an incentive to write positively in the region of their findings to lure consumers and spread their philosophy so their work could be interpreted as being biased. Naturopathic "doctors" also own an incentive to contradict the medical community and push their own agenda of suggesting natural remedies and other homeopathic treatment. They recurrently use fear policy like the mentioning of aluminum as a preservative ignore the fact that nation consume antacids like Mylanta everyday. Many of the products they push are not necessarily "natural" In former times, naturopaths suggested red rice yeast to lower cholesterol. This was a "natural" treatment. Lovastatin, one of the earliest and very soon cheapest statins, is made from red rice yeast. So essentially, red rice yeast is essentially Lovastatin that hasn't been processed. But obviously, the naturopath would have you believe this is a "natural" and somehow better product than Lovastatin. This is but one example.

    Gardasil is a vaccine used to protect women against HPV. Many women that are sexually live already have HPV. According to the CDC, approximately 80% of women hold some strain of HPV by the time they reach age 50 surrounded by this country. It is the most common STD contained by this country but it is usually subclinical and may never present with any type of malignancy. So your mother is not technically correct but her association is more or less correct because if you are sexually live, you may have already acquire HPV.

    Nonetheless, you mother is wrong in that simply virgins can take Gardisil. You should acquire a blood test and a pap smear to see if you hold HPV. If you don't, you are a candidate for Gardisil. The vaccine is suggested for women up to the age of 26(they chose the age of 26 because it's feasible most women after that age are sexually active and will unlikely benefit from the vaccine)

    You plainly want this shot. You are very lucky. They didn't hold this available to women in former times. This shot can essentially eliminate your risk of cervical cancer since HPV can organize to the development of cervical cancer within women. Take advantage of one of the hottest developments in tablets. It is sad but I've see patients die from cervical cancer.
    My daughter took this shot....they do not check you to see if you are a virgin and actually people can take this shot until they are 26, so you do not hold to be a virgin to take it....I do not know where on earth your mom got that information but she have been misinformed.......

    Gardasil is a 3 shot series, you nick the first one, and in 30 days the second one.......and next in 5 months the third one......It does hurt a bit......not so much the shot but the drug stings a bit.......but the benefits is well worth it.....So bear this shot and be safe.
    Good luck and it will be OK......
    A concerned Mom also......
    I ask you to reassess. Of course they do not check to see if you are a virgin but nonetheless there is almost no long possession safety and efficacy facts on this particular vaccine. One answerer mentioned the "upset campaign" that's attempting to discredit Gardasil. In my opinion the true panic campaign be launched by the company that manufacture the vaccine.
    the vaccine is mandatory in Texas but it be later revealed that Merck (the drug company) have financial ties to a top official surrounded by the Texas governor's administration.
    Even the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics own declined to recommend mandatory inoculation because Gardasil is still so new.
    In enhancement Gardasil only protects against two of the 6 glorious risk strains of HPV. It offers no protection against the numerous low risk variety.
    Plus we need to be deeply careful of the preservatives contained by vaccines. Gardasil is preserved with aluminum, a calorific metal that can be toxic. Studies have proven that aluminum can mete out nerve cell passing. Studies are pending on what other ruin is the result of aluminum injections.
    I am not saying do not obtain the shot. I am asking you to get ALL the facts until that time you make this conclusion. I suggest that you do not get these facts exclusively from your doctor. Physicians are financially rewarded to prescribe to you. So remember your doctor's ulterior motive when making your judgment. Physicians receive monetary bonuses, kickbacks, gifts, trips, catered lunches, etc. as a reward for prescribing medication.
    Here is what I would suggest instead of Gardasil. Use a condom EVERY time you enjoy sex until you are in a long permanent status committed relationship. And have a PAP in 3 months of every new sex partner. HPV can be cured if caught rash. Most strains do not lead to cervical cancer.
    Please be informed and construct your own educated result. It's your body!
    No, you dont' have to be a virgin and no they don't check. The tablets stings a bit going in anf your arm will be sore for a few days but keep hold of the arm moving and use an ice-pac.

    It's a series of 3 shots, I have have the first 2. The first was gone my arm aching for a week but the second one moved out me in no aching at all.

  • Question roughly Morning After pill?

    My boyfriend and i not so long ago had sex and afterwards i realize that i have forgot to lift two of my birth control pills...i don't mean i missed two consecutive days within a row....i mean i missed it in the future.....took it the next morning along with the other pill....and the the daylight after that i forgot...should i get the morning after pill or am i possible past the worst? i hope this made sense

    Answers: You are probably fine. Even if you stopped taking it completely, it would probably take your body a couple of months to return with to the point where you could slickly get pregnant. The unpredictability isn't zero, but even when you are on the pill the adjectives isn't absolutely zilch. I'd say don't lug the pill. People don't seem to realize that the morning after pill is some serious stuff. This isn't resembling taking a freaking tylenol or vitamin supplement or something. The morning after pill really hasn't been reliably tested for safekeeping, especially for multiple use. The morning after pill is essentially a very dignified dose of birth control medicine. It can mete out serious and even life threatening side effects similar to blood clots, hemorraging, stroke, and heart attacks. It can cause serious complications surrounded by people near certain medical conditions resembling diabetes, heart disease, liver problems or deep artery thrombosis. In other words, don't use this stuff lightly.
    You're probably okay but the Plan B pill one and only works 72 hours after the unprotected sex occurred so it's probably too behind time.

    But really, I've done this before and didn't conceive. Plus, consider the certainty that it usually takes women a few months to achieve pregnant after getting off the pill.
    you should be okay...but if it's be 72 hours since you last have sex, the morning after pill won't work for you anyway

  • What should your iron height be,ive merely have results hindmost and im low surrounded by iron again?



    Answers: Adult males: 75-175 micrograms/dL
    Adult females: 65-165 micrograms/dL
    Children: 50-120 micrograms/dL
    Newborns: 100-250 micrograms/dL.
    If iron levels are low, the amount of haemoglobin surrounded by our red blood cells, as capably as the number of red blood cells, is reduced. This is call anaemia. All the tissues and cells contained by the body depend on oxygen to function properly; if they receive less oxygen, they won't work so very well. On average, adult men have need of 8.7mg of iron a day. For women the numeral is 14.8mg.

    Foods containing iron
    Red meat is the richest source of iron. The iron in animal sources is spellbound easily by the body. There is also iron surrounded by pulses (such as lentils and beans), dried fruit, green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds, and within fortified breakfast cereals. The iron within these foods is not so easily gripped by the body.

    Liver is another rich source of iron, but it is also very large in vitamin A. So if you drink liver or liver products such as p^até every week, you might want to choose not to have it more normally and you should avoid taking supplements containing vitamin A or fish liver oils (which are illustrious in vitamin A). People at a sophisticated risk of osteoporosis, which includes women who have be through the menopause and older men, should also avoid have too much vitamin A. If you're pregnant, or thinking of becoming pregnant you should avoid eating liver and liver products because of the amount of vitamin A they contain.
    Lots of women are low within iron - I hated taking iron tablets as I be constantly on the loo! My friend ended up beside constipation. So I try to eat plenty of green veg. I love spinach and rice dish which they be paid here in Greece. Remember other drink something containing Vit C when eating food illustrious in iron as it help the body absorb more of the iron.
