I recently had partial hysterectomy ( I still have my uterus ) and the hot flashes began soon after.Night sweats very often disturb my sleep,anxiety with no apparent reason and depression.I’m not very good at taking medications and looked into natural remedies.Primrose oil,black cohosh,magnesium etc.However,studies show that there’s no proven effectiveness and there are side effects too,like damaging the liver.I need help!!

Does anyone have any sugestions on how to get a good night sleep when you have Fibromyalgia? I take my Ultram and Aleve before I go to bed. I fall asleep fairly easy but within a few hours I am awake and hurting. I have to get out of bed and move around and then I start all over again with trying to get some sleep. Some night all I get is 1 to 2 hours of sleep and it is taking it’s toll on me.

do they do a gynecological exam even if the surgery is completely unrelated to that area? I’m wondering because I’ve never had one, but I’m going in for a surgery where I’ll be put to sleep next week.

I napped for about three hours today and when I woke up I felt sick. Around 8pm I took two advils to relieve my headache. I took a clariten around 9pm help clear my sinuses. Now it’s 10pm and I want to go to sleep, but I know I’ll have trouble since I napped for three hours before. Could it be dangerous to take two advil pms now?

I am 23 yrs old and I have always been irregular since I started having my period at 13. Last month, I was nearly a month late and the doctor prescribed me Primolut N, and my period came after a week. During the course, I noticed that I was so energized and felt so good. I am usually very difficult to get up in the morning, sleep for 9-10hrs, and still not feeling refreshed after a long sleep. On the other hand, it is like a chronic fatigue. I read online and I came to the conclusion that I am suffering from hormone imbalance, which must be Progesterone, that causes irregular period and fatigue. In the past, I had taken a test for hormones and I was told that one of my hormones is lower than what it should be. At that time, I didn’t pay attention and forgot which one it was.
This is my CF test result,
Estradiol = 61pg/ml
Progesterone = 0.3 ng/ml
fsh = 6.8 mIU/ml
LH = 14.7 mIU/ml
prolactin = 16.7 ng/ml

although it is said that, it can be varied every day, before pre-ovulation and mid-cycle, I believe it is progesterone which is causing me all these problems. I looked for the supplement on the internet for Progesterone. I found nowfood natural Progesterone cream has lots of rave reviews. I wonder if it is suitable for a 23 years old young woman. I will go for detail check up and see the doctor when I have enough money, but I have to cure this right now with some over the counter medication. Thanks for the reply.

I had this spotting 7 days before I am supposed to start. I have never spotted that early before. It was only one time and that was yesterday morning. I am so tired now I can hardly keep my eyes open and slightly dizzy. I got plenty of sleep and not taking any drugs either. I am TTC so I guess it is possible to have this all in my head. Can a women really have these symptoms when she really is not pregnant just becasue she is hopefull?

I hear your temperature rises close to ovulation or during it! last 2days i cant sleep i got hot flash’s and im only 25.

I’ve always had a normal sex drive, not high, not low. Never really denied when my husband asked for sex. He usually has a bit on the high side sex drive.

I’m 23 years old, married for 3 years, and mother of a 7 month old baby girl. I’m always taking care of her, but recently I’ve just gotten back to work. Do I have a low sex drive because of work? I was thinking my sex drive dropped because I barely get any sleep, taking care of my daughter all throughout the night. Any help? Thanks.

I have always had a problem with heavy periods. Infact, I was once put on birth controll so they wouldn’t be quite so heavy. I can’t do that now, though because hubby and I sort of TTC. I’m miserable, though. I know this is TMI but, for the first few days of my period it is VERY heavy. For example, I will wear a pad(Stayfree ultra thin overnight) and tampon(OB Heavy Days- a step above super plus) both for security but, I usually have to change the tampon every couple hours because of major leakage. I get nervous at night because I have had "accidents" before due to "leakage". Of course, I’ve learned to controll that now somewhat by, getting up every so often to change hygenic products. This sucks, though because it means waayyy less sleep. I just wish I could figure out a way to controll my heavy periods because I am so miserable and bloated feeling because of this. HELP!
I do not wish to go any kind of birth controll since hubby and are are sorta trying to have a baby.
Also, I am 26.

I had breast cancer at age 15,my mother died from it at age 52 so hormones are not advisable.I have been looking for a natural supplement because the palpatations,nausea and particulrly the hot flashes are driving me insane.I can be totally naked over the A/C vent and sweat still pouring off me and it lasts for 10-30 minutes several times a day.I wake up at night trying to take my skin off cuz it’s too hot!GRRRRRR.The lack of sleep and embarrassment from this is making me emotional.I also have daily headaches.I have had SVT and been on ATENOLOL for 20 years so many herbs are dangerous for me.What can I do?????

hi, i had a question about my itching "down there"
in october i went to the gyno to get it checked out.. i had an infection so i took medicine for 7 days..

i stopped the ovules on sunday, and last night the itching was so unbearable i only got a couple hours of sleep..
ive been using a vinegar/water solution and just recently bought vagasil..should this help??

the itching is unbearable!!!

My mother just had an abdominal hysterectomy and a week later she is suffering from bad headaches, nausea, constipation, and sleep deprivation. Is this common? If not, what should she do?

I am a almost 30yrs female and tired of not having any sex drive. I feel horrible in relationships because I know I should want to have sex more, I just rarely seem to want to. I probably am one of the only females that would rather perform oral sex 90% of the time and have intercourse every once in a while.

I don’t want to be like this anymore and have horrible insurance and very little time to be running around investigating this problem…so if anyone has any insight please provide it.

I do notice that I tend to have much more of a sex drive in the morning, and at night I am just not interested. I am not ruling out the idea that it is emotional however I do believe I have hormone imbalances. (I have horrible acne, extremely light menstrual cycles, don’t sleep well, low body temp. and lots of other signs of such.) When I can get into it, I don’t orgasm and half way through am waiting for it to be over. I also recently noticed bleeding and have cramps a day or 2 afterwards

I have told my doctor all my symptoms and he did blood work, It came back with high Cholesterol. he did not prescribe me anything, I Also went because I feel tired all the time, all I want to do is sleep, no motivation, no vitality, no interest for sex, pretty much the symptoms of Low testosterone or Hypothyroidism. I am a 27 year old male, My sister suffers form Hypothyroidism so there is a history in the family. Now I have been dealing with Clinical depression for a couple of years now, it just comes to me, for no reason at all, I do not feel depress now, but I want to be the old me, full of energy. I am only 27 and I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. Does anyone know a good doctor, that treat me that specializes in hormones in the Chicago area.
