I was wondering how you'd keep your vagina clean. My boyfriend wants to eat me out and I wouldn't mind him doing it, but I just don't want to be dirty down there or smell the wrong way and we usually hook up like that in the afternoon or in the evenings and i'm usually not at home so i just want to make sure that it's completely clean. So any tips? (link)
Hey,

It is recommended to leave your vagine alone - it cleans itself, that's how that organ is designed. If you *insist* on working on the smell (we all have it, it's natural and very human), you could use those special wipes designed to be used "down there" or special shower gels and so on. You won't be dirty down there as long as you wash daily and wipe and you know the rest. Just don't try to clean the "inside", you may do more damage than good that way...

I dont want to be told to go to a doctor i have tried they cant find anything.

I have had ultra sounds, xrays, cat scans, mri, blood, etc. I am on the depo shot for birth control. That is the only medication i was taking at the time. I just started 2 days ago my anti depressent again which i had been off of for 6 months. I get extremely sharp pains in my stumochany where from the top to my lower adominal. I have also been having chest pains but on my right side of the chest. Occasionally in my lower adominal it hurts when i urinate. I get nauses. There is no way im pregnant either ive had pregnancy tests done as well.. any ideas. I know you guys arent doctors but made just one of you have had the same symptoms.. i hate not knowning. oh i also have a mass on my ribs but i dont think that has anything to do with this. (link)
Hey,

Have you gone to *a* doctor or gotten a second, third, maybe even a fourth opinion as well? It looks like you're in a lot of pain and I can tell you this: no one here will be able to give you a better advice than "go get checked" again. I mean, what other advice can we give you? This is your health we're talking about, not a school homework or what song to choose for your party. One thing I can think of is the antidepressant having some sort of side effect. BUT I believe I speak for all of us here if I tell you that you're better off talking to a professional until you get some answers and hopefully solutions. Your health is too precious and priceless and I know there is better advice for you from someone in the medical field. Don't give up, feel better. *hugs*

i've had my period for 4 years now, (i'm 18), and i've had about 4 extremely bad periods. i don't even know how to explain it. its like someone put my uterus in a blender and put it on the highest notch. i can't walk, i can't talk, i can't eat, i'm throwing up, i can't sleep, the pain is intolerable, and all i can manage to do is writhe on my bathroom floor and scream as if i'm in labor. but like i said, that's only happened 4 times since i started, at least that i can remember. well, my last period was on december 11th and it was one of the bad ones. a friend was over and my mom had to take her home at 7 in the morning. i didn't want her to hear me screaming.

and now i'm supposed to be starting my period this weekend and i'm fucking terrified. i don't know if i can handle another period like that. and soon i'm going to be graduating highschool and getting a job and such and how am i supposed to keep a job if i have to miss a day because my periods are that horrible? is there anything i can do?

Hey,

I've been like you since I was 11 and now I'm 21, but I get the pain and vomiting and screaming every other period. Now, I've always been told to go and get an ultrasound done, 'cause that usually answers a lot of questions. I still haven't seen one, but that's another story, haha. Get an appointment and get yourself checked. Have you tried taking painkillers for it? Not necessary prescribed stuff, off the counter pills like Midol work for me. I am in love with Midol right now, it does make a difference but see a doctor before taking anything and read everything about that pill before taking it. Best of luck, keep warm. I hope your next period isn't one of those excruciating ones.

Hey,

Expect many shades of red during your period. You're fine. =)
