Unfortunately, due to a lot of stress I haven’t had my period since December 27, I’m only 17 so I know its not menopause and hopefully nothing serious. So I’m going to the gynecologist for the first time soon to make sure everything is okay and hopefully get this problem fixed quickly. But I have a few questions on what the normal appointment consists of, what procedures they do, what I need to be prepared for and what I might need to do at home to be ready for the appointment? Please don’t be perverted in your answers.

Been on clomid for 7 months, with no success, blood results show that i am not ovulating, and there are signs of premature menopause.Is there any natural remedies to help with ovulation?

I want to know any siddha doctor is available in Dubai. My sister in law has a problem, she pre menopause and b coz of that she is undergoing many problems such as intestinal problem, headache and some others. All the allopathy specialists are asking her to take hormone treatment. If she takes the hormone theraphy she becomes unconsious some time. Pls anyone help in this.

I’ve been reading articles with evolutionary explanations for human behaviors, and just about every article gives off the impression that men are naturally polygamous, cheat on their older wives because they can no longer reproduce and are therefore sexually useless, are justified in dropping their older partners for younger, more fertile ones, etc.

It sounds an awful lot as if they’re basically implying that women are only worthy of male affections as long as they’re young with perky breasts.

How, then, does evolutionary theory account for women still desiring male companionship after they are older and their children have left the house, women still wanting to have sex after menopause, and the fact that women live longer despite being useless once their reproductive careers are over?

For example:

"Many believe that men go through a midlife crisis when they are in middle age. Not quite. Many middle-aged men do go through midlife crises, but it’s not because they are middle-aged. It’s because their wives are. From the evolutionary psychological perspective, a man’s midlife crisis is precipitated by his wife’s imminent menopause and end of her reproductive career, and thus his renewed need to attract younger women. Accordingly, a 50-year-old man married to a 25-year-old woman would not go through a midlife crisis, while a 25-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman would, just like a more typical 50-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman. It’s not his midlife that matters; it’s hers. When he buys a shiny-red sports car, he’s not trying to regain his youth; he’s trying to attract young women to replace his menopausal wife by trumpeting his flash and cash."

"Until very recently, it was a mystery to evolutionary psychology why men prefer women with large breasts, since the size of a woman’s breasts has no relationship to her ability to lactate. But Harvard anthropologist Frank Marlowe contends that larger, and hence heavier, breasts sag more conspicuously with age than do smaller breasts. Thus they make it easier for men to judge a woman’s age (and her reproductive value) by sight—suggesting why men find women with large breasts more attractive."

a relative of mine (we live in the same houshold) is going through pre-menopause and i would like to know what i can do to help her in this time.

I’m 41 and recently I’ve started gaining weight with no changes in my diet. I’ve been cranky, tired, have developed allergies and have started having panic attacks about death. Every night I lay in bed thinking about death and I start to cry and hyperventilate. I feel like I’m going crazy. Any of you ladies gone through menopause have any of these symptoms?

I am 32 years married woman having 2 kids with the past his. of artheritis which is now normal with 58 kgs weight and 5.1 height. From last 6 months i was feeling terribly depressed & nervous all the time & very lethargic i was not having interest in even routine house jobs. My behaviour was become very irritating & i was getting angry with very small things. But before 10 days i have taken a treatment of accupressure for my artheritis as my legs and hands were paining all the time. But now in this week my nervousness , hypertension (Which doctors were relating asPMS) is gone i am feeling more positive and energitic but when i went to gyno he given some test to do as my HB is 10.7 and i have some big gall bladder stones which are not even paining but before 2mths i have change my IUD and last month my period came quite early on 1st Feb. but this time till now my periods are not come but i dont have any depression is this a early menopause? i hve to fix next appt.DR. to show repo.

How can one know that she’ll not have hot flashes if she is not having it on peri menopause period.

Or can this occurs during menopause?

I have had swollen breasts for over 6 weeks now. The two periods I have had in this time have been reasonably light and the heaviness in my breasts did not go down after each period.

Is this a menopause symptom? Please help, I am 38 years old and haven’t even thought about menopause before now.

I’m having Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis treatment, to burn or laser it off. Then will be put on medication that will pretty much put me into temporary menopause and will give me nasty symptoms. If that doesnt work, Ill have a hysterectomy.

Since the return rate is high, I’m concerned about possibly putting myself through multiple surgeries that have risks aswell as medication hell, when I could just get rid o f it for good.

So which is safer.. hysterectomy or the laser treatment and medication? My doc said he doesnt want to do a hysterectomy on the first attempt. I dont wana deal with this pain any longer!

My mother went through a pre menopause in her 20′s and wasn’t able to have children anymore and she was blessed to have me as her only child, she always say that. but is it genetics you think? i’m 19 and i’m turning 20 this december, could it possibly happen to me?

continue to have a sex drive after menopause? What is the purpose of this in nature?

I’m currently in my fourth year of menopause and was wondering if any other females in menopause are experiencing memory problems. If so, how do you deal with it? Do you use any kind of herbal remedies, like Ginger, Asian Ginseng, or Ginko Biloba? The symptoms do not warrant a trip to the doctor; just looking for advice and/or suggestions. thanks.

Women: If something similar to the titanic happened today?

would you save yourselves before men? Would you take a seat from a man who is younger than you or is a father and husband or is a leader in society or is a single father? Would you save your husband first?

Would it still be women and children first?

If so I think women are ridculously selfish.

men care more about women mcuh more than vice versa

From my other question

"Absolutely. And yes, I would take a seat from a younger man, father or not, society leader or not."

Why should a younger man die, leader or single father die so some single woman can survive?

And before you go on about evolution please tell me how women past menopause have ANY value since they can’t reproduce while men of most ages can.

"Human nature is what it is, men will find it insanely difficult to see women die, so they will put women and children first."

Everyone in the other question said it wouldnt change. but then I found this.

A 2005 stampede on a Tigris River Bridge in Baghdad left nearly 1,000 dead of which most were reported to be women and children. During the religious observation of Hajj in 2001, sixty-six percent of the victims in that stampede were women.

I find it funny how the more masculine woman is the one expecting to be protected.

In recent years the Titanic’s record as the worst peacetime, maritime disaster has been beaten–by a horrific ferry sinking in the Philippines in 1987. Over 4,000 people–mostly women and children–died in that disaster. Unlike the Titanic, most of the survivors of this Philippines disaster were men. Similarly, when the ferry Estonia sank in the Baltic sea most of the survivors were men. When questioned why they hadn’t helped the women and children to be saved, survivors were quoted as saying: "Hey, it’s survival of the fittest"; "It was every man for himself" and "If women want equality so much–they’ve got it!" Again, in 1996, a boat sank off the shores of Indonesia. Like the Titanic, the ship was inadequately equipped with lifeboats. Unlike the Titanic, the men received preferential lifeboat treatment ahead of women and children. Women died that men should live!

The last two periods were with heavy bleeding sometime with clotted blood. Is is a symptom of menopause ? Anything to worry on this heavy bleeding ? No pain.
