I'm 23 and T-E-R-R-I-F-I-E-D of going to the gynecologist. I've never been, and I know that's pretty bad. I know I need to go, but I'm so scared. I'm afraid of it hurting and stuff. What can I do to help myself?

If you have never been then you have no idea if it is bad or not. But from my experiences, depending on what you are going for..they will always be gentle and use plenty of lubrication to protect you from being hurt.
If you are terrified, you need to explain to them that you have these feelings. Im sure they will be understanding. Just relax, I know that doctor's appointments can be anxious. Just take a deep breath and be honest with them. Don't ever doom yourself before you even begin.
Good luck.

14/f

I've been sweating under my arms since July. It won't stop. And I don't even have to be hot or nervous. It's embarressing and all I wear is hoodies and it's going to look a little bit odd in the summertime. It's getting pretty ridiculous and I don't know how to stop it. I've tried everything. Certain Dri, Secret Clinical Strength. Nothing will make it go away so it seems. My mom agreed to take me to the doctor and see what he says about it but I don't think that will be anytime soon.

Has anyone had this problem and found a way to cure it? Please..

You probably have and will be diagnosed with Hyperhydrosis.
Usually it is the armpits, hands and feet.
Go and see the doctor and don't be embarrassed.
I have a couple of friends who have it.

I think I have it , because i frquently have to go to the restroom , and sometimes what comes out isint even worth going to the bathroom for but it feels like im about to bust or pee in my pants . Im always having to ask to go to the rest room in every class & thats only 50 mins each .

i didnt want to go to the doctor [ at first ] because i thought my parents would be able to find out that iv had sex . because that could be a reason why i might have one .


So if yall would please , can any of yall tell me what they do when you go ?

thanks so much .

If you have a UTI you will have one or more of the following symptoms: Burning/Itching in the vaginal area, Burning sensation while you pee, Constant urge to urinate even if only for a split second, Pain while urinating and possible pain in the lower abdomen/stomach. (And possibly more..)

You can receive a UTI from many things aside from sex. Colored panties, Not wiping correctly, A vaginal infection reaching the urinary tract, It is less than a centimeter apart. ect.

When you go to a doctor to see if you are diagnosed with a UTI (very common in women) all they do is take a sample of your urine. Ask about your symptoms and test it for certain microscopic grades of bacteria that is related to UTI's.

You should be given pills to take for 3-7 days to clear up the infection and you should drink plenty of water. Also Apple cider vinegar possibly mixed in with some tea definately helps to get rid of the pain and you should go to an organic Health store and get D-Mannose. It is a vitamin that adheres to the bacteria in the lining of the bladder and prevents it from growing more while getting rid of the painful symptoms of a UTI. You will feel better immediately. Promise.
All of my answers to you are from expierence as a female. I get these about twice a year. Good luck and I hope that I helped.

I'm 22 years old. Pretty much all throughout my teen years I had a flat chest. Around 19 or so, they started to grow a little bit. If each bra cup could be a different size, one cup would probably be a training bra size and the other cup maybe an A. Is it normal for them to be so small and so differently sized? I was also born 3 months early, December instead of March. Could my prematurity have anything to do with it?

Thanks.

it is very well possible that the prematurity had an effect. But I have a similar issue. So dont feel bad. My right breast is so much bigger than the left I feel embarrassed about it. I even asked my doctor, she said it was normal and no 2 breats are perfect in size. The cup size is not bad or anything, your body just doesnt carry a large breast structure.
Hope that I helped.
Good luck.

What are good foods and drinks to have during your period? What are bad foods and drinks?

Water water water!!! Drink plenty of water and stay away from junk food and salty foods. Try to eat healthy and take vitamins. Bad foods are like chips and cake and all that crap. Now being a female i can make an exception for chocolate but not too much. Try to buy one candy barand use it all week. Eat wholesome foods. Whole grain. And STAY AWAY from greasy foods!
Good luck.
Hope that I helped.

I really want to use a tampon but I am scared. I'm scared it will hurt when I am putting it in. How can I get over being scared?

Always relax, and use a Playtex gentle glide. They are easy for the first time. Or tampax compact. Both are simple and compact clicks when its in and you can just push it up a little bit inside of you afterwards and then pull out the applicator. Its that easy.
Good luck.
Hope that i helped. ;p

im a girl. and for quite a while my voice has been cracky/croaky does this mean im hitting puberty and if so how long will it last till i get my peirod?

Honey, There is no tellin. It took me about 1 year. But sometimes it takes people a lot more.
For instance, I hit puberty at 8-9 years old and got my period when i was 9 going on 10.
So my guess would be about a year or 2 maybe even less.
Good luck.
Hope that I helped.

well how can i get rid of blackheads on top of my lip????? it's really annoying and cross. now i know how to avoid them but how do i get rid of them??????????????????????

They say not to, but pop them. Yes, it will hurt. But when u pop those suckers they will be gone for good if u follow these easy steps:

1. Wash your face with soap.
2. Pop it.
3. Put alcohol on it. (swab it or something)
4. Ice it.
5. Wash 2x daily.

Good luck.
Hope that I helped. ;p

Ive had my period for a while now (im 14) but tampons are wierd for me.

When i first put them in, they go in fine and they bout a half and hour later, they sort of slide down a little and i start feeling them and it starts to hurt. what can i do to prevent this? what am i doing wrong. and please dont give me directions for putting them in, because i know how.

I would say either upgrade to a larger size tampon like from super to regular or try to push it up after to insert it with the applicator.

I have the hardest time sleeping at night. This has only been affecting me for about this past week. Before then, I had a regular sleeping pattern.

During the week last week, I'd go to sleep around 9:30 PM then wakeup around 1:00 AM Or 2:00 AM and not be able to go back to sleep.

During the weekend, I couldn't go to sleep until around 4:30 AM then I'd wake up around 2:00 PM.
How can I get back on a regular, healthy sleep routine? Please don't suggest Benadryl, I've tried that already and still no luck.

I have the same exact problem. I went to a Psychiatrist and he perscribed me Seroquel. It is a sleeping aid also an anti-hyperactivity depressant. It works and doesnt manke you groggy in the morning after taking it for about a week or so because it has to work in your system first. Maybe you should try it. Also there are over the counter sleeping aids. (Excedrin PM, Tylenol PM) They are supposed to help. Try lowering your caffeine intake during the day. Hope I helped.

how do u get a yeast infection?

thanks

You can get a yeast infection from a multiple of things:
Wearing a thong.
Using a scented soap down there.
Using lotion down there.
Wearing panties without cotton lining.
Wearing colored undies.
Not bathing correctly.
Not wiping correctly.
Not eating enough yogurt having enough acidophilous in your system to balance your PH correctly.
Not eating healthy.
Sweating.
Not bathing enough.
Being pregnant.
Wearing too tight pants/underwear.
Wearing pantiliners ALL the time. (Your vagina needs time to breathe)
Not changing your tampon or pad on a regular basis. (leaving it in too long)
Thats all I can really think of at the moment.

I need a fast way to lose A LOT of weight, I weigh about 140 lbs. and I'm 5'4", its may not sound fat, but believe me, it looks really fat. I want to lose about 20-30 lbs. in about a month, but I don't know how to without hurting myself or using diet pills. Please, help.

Im in the same boat...but at this point im not going to give you advice that i wont take myself...im almost to the point where im going anorexic again..the best thing i can tell you is just work out and eat less fattening foods. Sorry i couldnt give you better advice..but like i said i wont tell someone to do something that i wont...

[view]

how can you tell when you're getting a little chubbier.. i mean, my armpits have these weird little fat thingies that aren't supposed to be there. its flat on most people. help! what are they-underarm flab?

I dont know what they are called but i have them too. Most girls do have them unless they are REALLY skinny. The way to get rid of them is to do push ups with your legs propped up and do the exercises at the gym that work out your chest. Good luck

Okay, so i'm a 14/f. About 4 months ago, i was 125 pounds, and i was disgusted with my body. So i decided i was going to lose weight. Well i chose the wrong path to take. I basicly cut down on food. Well, now i am 115 pounds. And today i realized something was wrong.

I was starving, and my friend, my boyfriend and my mom went to the mall, we ate there and i had about 4 peices of orange chicken and like 3 pieces of broccoli, and a fork full of rice, and i was full and i thought i was going to throw up because i was so full.

And I'm not like that, usually, i can eat pretty well. Is there any eatting disorder that can relate to this, because i'm 99% sure i'm not Bulemic or Anorexic.

And please don't say "just eat more", it's harder than you think.

Help please?

Well I was anorexic for 2 years. I could it like a piece of chicken smaller then my pinky and be full and my stomach would bloat up. Its really hard because i finally got down to 105-110 abnd i got locked up...i gained so much weight you'll never believe it. I came out weighing 160!!! Now mi down to 150.. its pathetic...The only way how i got over my anorexia is learning to love myself. Spending time alone and not worrying about what others think about me. Loving me because I am me. You need to do some serious soul searchin...and it wont happen right away but i promise that it will work! if it doesnt feel free to cuss me out. But trust me on this one. And if you would like any help or guidance...feel free to AIM me...

I've had a problem for a few years with gas bloat in my stomach. Usually it happens after I eat, but not all the time. Tonight I had mexican food and about an hour after I got back home I started to bloat just below the ribs. It's finally subsiding now, but it was REALLY painful, so much that it bent me double when I tried to stand straight. It happens when I drink soda as well (which gives me painful hicups on top of that).

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this and why the gas isn't being let out quicker? I also have trouble with burping, I can feel the gas come up but then it just stops. Any help would be much apreciated!

I have the same problem and it got soo bad that I had to goto the hospital. My doctor told me it had something to do with acid reflux. I would see your doctor or goto a walk in clinic and see what they say just to make sure. Try taking Pepto Bismol? Or and anti-acid works too...like tums..or something similar...hope i helped!

Many things could be wrong..
You could have an overactive bladder.

You could be drinking too much soda and juice and not enough water.
Hope I helped!
