I made it (close enough to) a week without asking you a question, vaginapagina =o I am improving.
First question: I've had bladder issues since I was little, for no real reason. Wetting the bed, peeing my pants, things like that. Now that I'm older, it rarely happens, but I do still occasionally wake up to a wet bed. I don't currently take anything for it, as it's such a rare occurrence, and is easy enough to clean up (rubber backed sheets are pretty awesome). The thing is, while I'm ok with dealing with it, it's still embarrassing. I'm not really sure how to broach that with any future partners. So far, it's only ever happened once and my reaction was basically "can we never talk about this? ;-;" I find talking about herpes far easier than this.
Second question: In the last couple months I've gotten two bumps in my pubic area. At first, I assumed an ingrown hair, or a clogged pore, or something similar, but then they kinda changed. Got hard, painful, and developed a head, but would not pop. The first one has left a scar, and when the second one popped, it oozed blood and some kind of puss. I think it's still healing and it's been a couple weeks. Any thoughts as to what they are? They're rather small, about a centimeter in diameter.
Third: For the last two or two and a half years, my body has been messed up. My periods have changed significantly, and the symptoms I get prior to and during it are far more extreme than they used to be (that that they're really bad, just...not nice like they used to be). I'm 22, and I had an abortion a little over three years ago (it was kind of between the first and second semester, I no longer remember how far I was along, just that it was close the cut off, and afterwards I lactated a bit for a few months). Is my body changing because I'm older, or could being pregnant have affected my hormones more permanently?
Praise: I love vaginapagina. It's incredibly nice to be able to talk about herpes without feeling embarrassed or ashamed in any way, and help people through my experiences with it. <3 I nearly cried the other day, it felt so good.
