unusal discharge

hey ladies! i was looking in the archives and am still unsure about my current situation.

peeling vagina

[invitations.livejournal.com]

in my previous post, i had asked about my clit looking like it was very raw, and a pinching feeling when i walked. the answers that i got suggested it was a yeast infection, despite the absence of white discharge (i was having breakthrough bleeding at the time).

i went to the nurse practitioner on campus, and they didn't actually take a sample from me, because i had just gotten my period that morning (i had to wait it out the whole weekend since our health services isn't open then). so i described my symptoms (itching, redness, etc).

she gave me diflucan. the single dose (i don't know if there's multiple doses, this was my first yeast infection). i took it at about 12 30 in the afternoon yesterday, and just a few minutes ago (around 12 tonight), i noticed my entire vagina was peeling. like sunburn almost.

a girl who responded to my previous post said that her clit actually peeled while she had a yeast infection. i checked the archive, and googled it, but didn't really come up with anything useful.

my questions are:
is this a side effect of taking the diflucan?
when will it go away (estimate)?
is there anything i can do in the meantime to moisturize that area (with non-scented lotion, being careful not to get anything inside, etc..) to help the peeling?
should i see the doctor about this?

Someone posted earlier about having hot flashes and worrying if it was a sign of pregnancy... I'm on Levlen and I frequently get Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, Weakness, Chills... all of that and I used to joke about being 17 and going through menopause (which I don't think is likely) but I'm curious to what could be causing it? I don't think is pregnancy (I get my period every month, lasting 3-5 days) and I should add, last time I checked, my doctor told me I was mildly anemic and I have HPV. I wanted to get a few suggestions before I went to the doctors and it end up being nothing serious.

Thanks in advance

I am on the combined pill, and I have just broken up with my boyfriend. Should i keep taking the pill. or shuld i stop. I wouldn't be taking it to prevent pregnancy, but to prevent some outrageous mood swings I have as a part of PMS

Early UTI (how accurate?)

[ihatepavel.livejournal.com]

Ladies, I'm a little (OK....a lot) paranoid and ridiculous when it comes to health, so bear with me.

I've been having some symptoms of the very early stages of a UTI, but nothing glaring enough to send me to a doctor to check it out. It could just be dehydration.

However, I went to the doctor yesterday for an unrelated issue and asked her to do a UA just to be sure, and she said it came back clean. Mostly out of curiosity, is there a possibility that the test is erroneous because of how mild the symptoms are (i.e., is it possible that the UTI wouldn't show up until symptoms were more advanced)? Or is it kind of an all-or-nothing sort of thing?

Thanks in advance.

An odd question.

This is a weird question, so I'll cut it to make it work friendly for your friends pages.

( The odd question here. )

i want to try using tampons but i have tried so many brands and nothing works.

i am very *cough* tight and i need to find a tampon that is VERY small.. i wil work my way up but to just get used to them

Unexplained vaginal bleeding

[just-a-duck.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone, long time reader, first time complainer.

This morning I got my period. It seems pretty heavy already. Sounds normal enough. But this is like my third period in about 6-8 weeks. I had a full period, then stopped for about 3-4 days, then another FULL period, then stopped for about 4-5 days. I was so happy I thought it was finally over. Then I started my period again today.

Background info: I am heterosexually active. We use condoms and I am on the ortho-evra patch. I use it on my bum and change it every seven days as required, with one week off. I put my most recent one on this sunday.

Possibly related: I have had an awful case of runs for the past 3 days. I read up on it and it seems like giardiasis, but I was wondering if it could be related to this.

The Millionth Discharge Question

[the-clincher18.livejournal.com]

I have been on BC for three months now and the last period I had was almost all brown, was lighter than usual lasting only two full days, and had excess mucous, a lot more than usual. Its been a week and a half since my last period, and I have an excess amount of discharge. Its white, creamy, but a little sour tasting. Also, for the past week, I have been experiencing abdominal cramping, nauseousness, and dizziness, could these be signs of pregnancy?

So, my question is:

Did I have a "true" period

Is the brown/mucous normal with BC?

Why do I have so much discharge?


Thanks in advance!

I dunno if this really belongs here, but I was wondering if birth control can help prevent mood swings. This is the first time ever that I've had mood swings and I always feel like crying over anything and everything. Pleeeeaaaase help me out here <33 If birth control doesn't help, any suggestions on what might?

Hi all:

so it's the second day of my period. i have leak problems sometimes at night, so i went to sleep last night with:
1. an overnight pad on with a liner stuck horizontally onto my underwear right in front of the very front of the pad and right behind the very back for extra coverage lengthwise.
2. cotton swab shoved in my buttcrack (someone here suggested it) because blood sometimes trickles there -hehe
3. a super tampon (for about 8 hours)

I STILL LEAKED and ruined my underwear.

i'm really out of solutions and patience. i don't want to dislike having my period, i want to respect it, but things like this make me really frustrated.

any ideas? i'm not a particularly heavy bleeder, but i guess i roll around during the night, so i bleed then too.

thanks so much for any words or advice

I was wondering if you could eat anything to make your vagina smell better. I don't have thrush of anything, I just mean in general.
My man said it smells yucky, I don't think it does but maybe others smell different. I've never been that close to have a good sniff before.

bladder weakness

[teazle.livejournal.com]

hi

this is the first time posting here, with a kinda embarrassing problem. every time i have a long bath (more than 15 mins), for the rest of the evening, and sometimes into the following morning, i have slight bladder weakness. not enough to be noticable to anyone else, but embarassing for me.

i assume its because the warm water relaxes the muscles, but i'm sick of having to wear pads or do anything about it, because although its something very minor, it stresses me out.

i know its not exactly a vaginal issue, but just thought maybe someone could offer some advice.

Since I've gotten off birth control, this problem has gotten much worse. I have what feels like a UTI, but it only occurs at night. Usually around 8pm. I'm not doing anything unusual during this time. It's not right after sex. However, having sex - irritates it majorally. The other night when I had sex it felt like I was burning FIRE afterwards. I feel like almost a little lubrication helps and eases the pain. My vagina just feels really dry and irritated and I feel pressure near my ovaries.


I've been burdened with UTIs before, but normally they bother me all day. So I'm stumped. I don't want to jump on the bandwagon of antibiotics because I have horribile stomach problems that antibiotics normally make worse.


Any ideas?

Yasmin & Spotting duration

[gifte.livejournal.com]

I started Yasmin last Monday, 1st day start. This Monday, I quit leaking, but yesterday I started spotting. I know it is expected. What I would like to know is for how long does it usually last? I read the pamphlet and up to 3 months sounds so unrealistic =/ I guess I'm looking for a bit of hope =P

Input would be nice. If you think this is a daft entry, sorry, I'm just really frustrated. I don't like bleeding for 7 days straight, and spotting is just mehphf.

Boob questions; I am in so much pain.

[pseudo-sexual.livejournal.com]

My boobs started to get bigger around 2 weeks ago, it wasn't much of a big deal. Since my boobs are a small B I really wouldn't mind them getting bigger. Well thats what I thought until about an hour ago. My chest hurts so badly. One of my friends suggested it being the skin stretching but this is an aching feeling not only in my boobs but in my ribs underneath (above my bellybutton/actually underneath my boobs). I took some tylenol hoping it will help but if it doesn't do you know of anything I can do to ease the pain?



Oh and this may be a strange question but when you have sex on a regular basis do your boobs get bigger? A friend of mine swears she read this somewhere but I can't find it anywhere. I know birth control can cause a growth spurt but I don't see why sex would.
