Yeast infection UTI connection?

[ariana-08-08.livejournal.com]

Hei

I just almost had a UTI (I did not have enough bacteria to get any antibiotics) and the doctor told me to drink lots of water, I drank a lot if water, cranberry and orange juice over the next couple of days, and I got better, now about a week later the same awfull "I'm about to wet myself" feeling is back. And I am wondering if it might be possible that an yeast infection might be causing the UTI? Is there any connection there? Can an yeast infestion cause an UTI?

Dealing with unsavory responses to age difference in relationship?

[celery-soda.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend is ten years older than I am (I am twenty). We're disgustingly happy. His parents are pleased, his closest friend and his wife are supportive, my friends are supportive. We see the same therapist (him for a few years longer than I), and she thinks it is a positive thing for both of us.

However, we get a lot of bullshit about the age difference. My partner and I have discussed it at length, and the only big pattern we've noticed is this:

Whoever is insulting me, it's always about my morality (I'm skanky/slutty), and it is only directed at me. In other words, no one insults him. Mostly it comes from a few staff members of an organization I used to work for and he used to be on the board of. Anytime they've said something inappropriate to me on "work time" (like when a mid-ranking staffer called me to ask me to volunteer then said it looked bad to date a board member if I used to work there, and she thinks we should fill out paperwork to prevent nepotism), I've reported it to their superior.

We also already have a "rule" in place where, at larger functions, I text him if someone has said something inappropriate and we leave together (per the advice of our therapist).

How do I deal with it when they are not working, though? We both already don't return calls from the few "offenders" if they don't leave an organization-related voicemail, since one woman in particular likes to send barbs over the phone. I avoid the offenders at events, and I limit their access to my Facebook profile.

I am hesitant to respond with insults of my own; thus far my response is either to report it to their superior, or point out the flaw in the argument. (When someone implies I am a gold-digger, I joke about the debt my recently graduated partner accrued to earn a professional degree. Now that he actually has a lucrative gig, this won't work anymore but oh well.) When I discussed it with their superior first, I pointed out the issues that arise when the staff of a progressive organization starts slut-shaming women. If it helps you to know, their superior is receptive and concerned about the behavior.

Any other suggestions? 

Small, hard lump on the inside of my labia.

Hey there, I'm new and join because I'm a little scared and would like some advice.

I have a lump on the inside of my labia minora, it's small, hard, no bigger than a pea. Smooth and inside the skin, I had to feel for it to find it and it can be moved around. It doesn't hurt, doesn't pop but gets irritated if I try to squeeze it and it doesn't itch. It's shown up before but I thought it was a cyst or some weird ingrown hair because it showed up after shaving. It went away after awhile and now it's another one has appeared again also after shaving, I think in the same spot. I was scared it might be a genital wart but it hasn't shown up any where else.

Please help.
