My mom wants me to see a gynecologist for regular check ups and stuff.she wanted me to ask on here (she doesn’t know how this works.lol.) when is the appropriate age.Im currently 13 btw.

Also out of curiousity,do they weigh you there? And what happens at the gynecologist.Like how does the checkup go? :S
Also,will your parent be with you through all of this? or just some of it? and it isn’t ur family physician that is doing this.right?

So my friend said her mom wants her to start going to the Gynecologist??? =O We are both 16… I was just wondering if your suppose to get exams or something???
Oh yeah… we’re not sexually active lol

my mom always yells at me for sitting on the floor (or any cold surfaces) and she claims that the coldness will damage my ovaries and i wont be able to have kids 8(
is it true??has anyone else heard of this? i totally believed her at first but now i think it’s just a old russian wive’s tale

oh, and now shes saying that putting my laptop on my belly when its hot is going to poison my ovaries with radiation. is this true too?

Who was the first woman to use PMS as a defense in a court case in California?

Also, if there are fewer than 100 instances of this defense being used in the state, where can I go to find a list of those women?
Supposedly my father told my mom that his mother was the first woman in california to use this as a defense in a court case. His name was William Slusser, and I’m trying to find him. He has been absent from my life.

By the way, it was natural, no hyterectomy. No medical problems.Oh,and they say it depends on when your mom did. well guess what, she was 55!. Anyone that can tell me they have been through this? I woul be most appreciative.

My period ended and I feel a lump the size of a pea on the left side, it is also hard. I researched and found out about ovarian cysts, how do I know if I have it or not?
I haven’t told my mom yet because I know she’ll freak out. I’m planning on waiting for another week to see if it gets bigger.

Hi,
Please let me know if anybody has hot flashes and how they dealt with it. My mom has it- during night, even using a towel which is not baby soft hurts her, her hair when it falls on her body causes more discomfort. She complains of having depression. She has been having it for 10 yrs and she started going to gynec but there is only temporary relief. Had anybody of you had it? How did you fight it? She does not want to go for hormonal supplements and is more interested in organic products. Kindly help me out here. No crude jokes or rudeness please.
Thanks in advance.
She has been having them for a long time as a result of menopause.

Help! When I was 14 I started my period [September-ish] and in January i started getting this itching, burning, feeling and it hurt to pee–it felt like i had to go, but when i went barely anything came and it burned! It would come and every couple months. My periods still weren’t even regular yet. I know it’s was stupid but i started being sexually ‘playful’ with my boyfriend–which lead to being sexually actuive. and the iching, burning, and everything became a bit more frequent, ever 2 or maybe 3 months, and the symptoms would last about a week. and by now I was almost 16.
My boyfriend and I stopped and we know it was stupid and wrong, and we’ve completely taken care of that, even with our parents and everything so you don’t need to lecture me on that, please. I thought it was a yeast infection around this time so i took some like couple day thing to fix that and used the cream to stop the pain and itching. it went away then, but came back a month or two later.
It wasn’t consistent, and still isn’t, but i never wanted to go to the doctors because i was scared. so at this point in time it’s been at least two years, and it comes and goes.
I started thinking it was a urinary tract infection because all the symptoms for that fit me. and I talked to my dad about it–I’m closer to him then my mom. and i said it would go away and be gone for like 2 to 3 months so it wasn’t a big deal. but he was willing to take me to the doctors and said i should get it checked out.
Now I’m 17 and I’m still with the same guy, and we both have only EVER done stuff with each other, and although it has been over a year since we had sex, we still will play around occasionally but we are always REALLLY careful, like even when we did have ‘sex’ we would always pull out before he even exploded, not mattter if he had a condom on or not. [so i don't even know if you could call that sex to begin with but whatever.]
but right now I’m really scared because today it was itchy, but i went to the bathroom and was totally pain free, but before i went to bed i noticed it was really red, which is unusual for me. Then I noticed on the inside of the ‘lips’ or whatever you want to call them, there are white dots. I know normally there are bumps in the skin[[not huge or anything]] but now the inside skin is bright red, and the bumps are a white-ish color.

I’m really scared, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
My boyfriend knows, and my dad knows most of it, but i just don’t know what to do.
I have always said once i turn 18 i’ll ask the doctors about it, but going from 14 to 18, would it get worse and turn into something really bad?
I’m scared I may have waited too long, please give advice, besides just simply going to a doctors.
have any of you ever had anything like this?
I mean I have researched it and i know some women get yeast infection every single month for there whole life, am i just that unlucky. :[ Or is something really bad wrong with me
I’m the type of person that jumps to the worst conclusion first, so i reply with your knowledge or opinion would be greatly appreciated!!

I started my period about a year ago and I want to learn how to use a tampon. I was just wondering how long the recommended time for leaving one in is. My mom says only 2 hours at max, because of TSS, but I have seen other people say that it’s 8 hours max. So I was wondering what the recommended time is.

and my face is flushed right now. I’m 22, and I was having some problems burning down there, no bladder or vaginal infections. My gyno said I could be low on estrogen, and so gave me estrace cream. I used it tonight with no problems, it helped me feel better down there..BUT now I feel really warm and kinda feverish, my face feels hot and is flushing a bit..My mom said it’s my body adjusting, but I don’t know? I’m kinda worried!!!

I am a virgin.
I sometimes masterbate.
I have odor,discharge,iching,small bumps.
My mom doesn’t know.

I am 18 years old and sex hurts a lot. I did some research and a lot of people reccomend I get checked for a disorder just in case something’s wrong. I don’t know who my OBGYN is and my doctor is a male pediatrician who I don’t know how to get an appointment with (my mom makes the appointments) and I don’t want to talk to about this anyways. Do they offer these types of exams at free clinics?
