Child is in pain in Health ·
Noah Hughes said:I actually took a moment to look up shingles online, and honestly, it doesn't seem to match what I'm experiencing at all (at least regarding the other symptoms)... It seems it might just be some strange child... 🙂

Thanks! 😉

And is it possible that by pressing on it, you might be putting pressure on a nerve as well? 🤷

Stuck tampon in Women's Health ·
Chloe Johnson91 said:My ovary has shifted closer to my uterus, and I suppose an ovarian displacement isn't exactly something to brush off, even if my doctor seemed completely indifferent about it. I don't know, she also mentioned that Ureaplasma isn't really a big deal, yet everywhere I read, it's described as being quite dangerous.

😲
you need to change doctors immediately!
At your very next appointment, you should probably explain exactly why you switched gynecologists and make it clear that you expect high-quality care as a patient.
Honestly, it's just unbelievable...

Chloe Johnson91 said:So, I have my routine annual exam this coming Monday. My gynecologist gave me this rather unsettling look and mentioned that one of my ovaries appears to be "adherent." When I asked her to clarify what that actually implies and whether I should be concerned, she told me not to worry and to just come back in a month once the Pap smear results are in. Apparently, based on that, she isn't particularly worried about it.

I haven't actually encountered that particular expression before, so I suppose I’m not entirely sure whether I should be concerned about it or not.

I was hoping someone might be able to provide a brief explanation of what actually happened here. Why would it have shifted? I suspect there might have been some inflammation involved, though I didn't experience any actual pain—aside from a bit of stinging right before my period, which I honestly just assumed was perfectly normal. Also, I find myself wondering if it will ever settle back into its original position, or if there is a possibility, God forbid, that I could end up losing it entirely.

I suspect you might need to consider finding a different gynecologist.
I have no idea what you mean by that, but I do know that it isn't right for a doctor to perform a quick procedure like that without offering any explanation first.
I am not entirely certain whether you are planning to seek private care or if you will be navigating this through your insurance provider, but regardless of the route you take, I feel that your gynecologist—or any physician, really—has a fundamental responsibility to explain the situation to you. It seems only reasonable that they should provide at least a general overview using language that is actually understandable.
I recently had an incredibly pleasant experience with my gynecologist, and because of that, I’ve decided he’ll be my doctor moving forward. To be honest, even though I usually... I suppose I should add my thoughts to the discussion below. Everything went perfectly, and my doctor was truly wonderful. He actually took an extra fifteen minutes out of his schedule—without me even having to ask—just to walk me through the ultrasound and explain exactly where the baby is positioned and what I should be mindful of moving forward. Honestly, more physicians ought to be like him. 👍

How long did it take you to plan your career change? in Women's Health ·
Kimberly Booth said:We’re looking at a five-year gap before the first child arrives, followed by another four years before the second. For us, that seems like quite a significant stretch of time.😉

Did you find yourself naturally swept up in the moment both times?

We've been trying to get this sorted for about four months now, and so far, we haven't seen any progress at all...

Sohosustav ... we paid for 500 photos on 4 CDs, plus a 3-hour session on 4 DVDs, along with an album featuring 150 shots in 5x3.5" and 6x9" sizes $1667 and the pictures are truly lovely; I would say those guys are three times better than most of the famous photographers out there, and they didn't even ask us for a deposit—at least not in our case!
Initially, I was considering Lisjak, but he was far too expensive, so Sohosustav seemed to be the only reasonable alternative for me. I haven't posted any of the photos here, but I would be happy to email a few if anyone is interested.

What exactly counts as proper feminine hygiene? in Women's Health ·
No offense intended, but I’m genuinely struggling to wrap my head around this: :confused:
What is the actual purpose of wearing pads EVERY SINGLE DAY?? I mean, for what? What exactly is leaking out of you on a daily basis (outside of when you're actually on your period or ovulating)???

Red bumps or rashes on my skin? in Health ·
It seems quite likely that we are looking at some sort of fungal skin infection, perhaps something similar to tinea versicolor. I would suggest they start by seeing their primary care physician first. If it turns out to be an infection, they will probably be prescribed a topical cream to be applied twice daily for a couple of weeks.

Raymond Williams7 said:There are, specifically laser treatments.
Take a look at the Mayo Clinic website.

Raymond, thanks 👍
I suspect I might head over there for a consultation once summer wraps up. Avoiding the sun after treatment feels like a bit of a mission impossible, given how sensitive the scar area would be.
The site is here: www.polyderm.com

How often should I be washing my hair? in Health ·
I was absolutely convinced that I just had naturally oily hair, and honestly, it drove me crazy... until I finally realized the real culprit was my own routine. It turns out I’ve been applying my conditioner to my entire head instead of just focusing on the ends. It feels quite silly now, considering I spent years struggling with this issue 😬
Since I started limiting the conditioner strictly to my hair ends, the greasiness issues have completely vanished.
I also realized I have this habit of unconsciously running my fingers through my hair throughout the day, and then by the evening, I’m left wondering why everything looks so limp and greasy 😁 ugh 😁

Is it healthier to drink with your meal or after? in Health ·
coppergardener said:I have so much stomach acid I feel like I could digest a leather jacket along with the fur... so I end up drinking constantly; I’m always hungry and I can’t even swallow food without liquids.

just try not to drink ice water while you're eating hot meals.

It is somewhat concerning if you are constantly feeling hungry and find it difficult to swallow food without liquid assistance. 😕

One should also make an effort to chew food thoroughly. I realize that sounds quite trivial, but a significant number of people simply don't chew enough and tend to eat far too quickly...

Regarding cold drinks during a hot meal... ideally, one should avoid them during the meal itself, but if it is absolutely necessary, what you mentioned certainly holds true. Furthermore, I think we all make a common mistake: we drink cold things in the summer and hot things in the winter... in reality, it probably should be the other way around (though drinking cold things in the summer is arguably much worse) because the temperature fluctuations aren't particularly good for the stomach or general digestion.

From a doctor. 😬

Oziljak in Health ·
So, I’ve had this scar for quite a few years now. It isn't exactly recent, and while its appearance has certainly mellowed out over time, it remains pretty noticeable...
My main issue isn't actually the pigmentation—it blends in well enough with the rest of my skin tone—but rather the actual texture. I suppose I'm wondering if there are any specific treatments offered by dermatologists or surgeons that focus on smoothing out the surface of a scar? 😕

Butt acne/breakouts in Health ·
I suspect that no amount of pills or topical acne treatments will actually do much here, since these are almost certainly just sweat-induced breakouts. My suggestion would be to try a gentle exfoliant while you're in the shower, and then follow up with some baby powder—doing that twice a day should help. It’s also probably wise to stick to loose cotton clothing rather than anything restrictive, and I’d avoid sitting on leather or plastic chairs if possible; if you do that, it should clear up within a few days 😉. I have also noticed that a bit of sunshine or even a tanning bed can help dry them out, which eventually causes them to recede

Is it healthier to drink with your meal or after? in Health ·
Kate Cooper said:I find that I really need to have some liquid with my meals; otherwise, I start having trouble swallowing after just a few bites. 😳 In my opinion, drinking while eating might actually be healthier since it seems to help things digest more smoothly and quickly. 😎>

I believe that is incorrect. Drinking during a meal can actually make digestion more difficult because you end up diluting the stomach acids responsible for breaking down food. It is generally recommended to wait about 15 minutes after eating before drinking anything, preferably sticking to water.

I have a surgical scar on my shoulder. I was wondering what kind of surgical or non-surgical methods might help soften its appearance? Are there specific creams or treatments you would recommend? Does anyone here have any personal experience with this?
