Answers to womens health questions on womens health problems can help a woman better understand her health and how to improve it. Today, a woman must both attend to her career while taking care of family responsibilities. Before and after work, she is likely involved in meal preparation, seeing to the family’s needs along with doing the non-stop stream of household chores. It is easy to understand how women can become nearly exhausted and begin asking womens health questions and looking for answers.
And to make matters worse, there is so much health information available that is at the same time confusing and conflicting. Who to believe? Who is trying to sell me what? Even doctors are often promoting this and that product as the latest greatest solution to various maladies and womens health problems. Perhaps you find yourself asking questions such as these:
Womens Health Questions #1 – Are Bioidentical Hormones Different from Synthetic Drugs?
Yes, bioidentical hormones are very different from the synthetic drugs. The term “bioidentical” means that the hormone is exactly the same as what the body naturally makes. The body will treat a bioidentical hormone as if the body produced it naturally. When used in dosages similar to the body’s normal production, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can provide health benefits without the side effects associated with non-natural or synthetic drugs. Synthetic hormones are not natural to the body – they are different from natural hormones so they can be patented and marketed by the drug companies.
Womens Health Questions #2 – Are There Really Any Best Vitamins for Women?
Absolutely! We all have what is referred to as dietary gaps, meaning, it is difficult to consume the necessary foods that provide needed nutrients every day. Who regularly eats the recommended 5-9 servings of vegetables and fruits each day? It is difficult for anyone to do and besides, the nutrient values found in foods today are lower than decades ago. Taking a high-quality, broad spectrum, anti-aging daily nutritional supplement formulated specifically for women helps fill in the dietary gaps that we all have.
Womens Health Questions #3 – Why Should I Be Using Natural Cleaning Products?
For sure! Since 1945, more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been invented, the majority derived from a petroleum base. When using home cleaning products that you pour out of a container, you receive exposure either through your skin or from the fumes that you breathe. And what is even much worse is when you spray the petroleum-based toxic cleaners into the air, doing so means you will be breathing the airborne chemical particles directly into your lungs which will contribute to various womens health problems! Natural cleaning products are easily available that are priced competitively and reduce exposure to the harsh chemicals found in regular household cleaners and sprays.
Womens Health Questions #4 – Why Do Uterine Fibroids Develop in Women?
Uterine fibroids are known as muscle tumors and in most cases are non-cancerous. They are a very common growth in the female genital tract. Fibroid growths afflict as many as 80% of American women in their 30′s to 50′s. One in four women will have complaints serious enough to seek medical treatment! The true causes of fibroids remain unknown, however, there are several factors that do seem to affect fibroid growths in women.
Womens Health Questions #5 – Where Can I Find Answers to More Questions About Health?

Understand what are normal changes in the reproductive cycle and health and what changes and symptoms indicate hormonal imbalances brought on by poor nutrition, excessive stress and other lifestyle factors.

You poor thing! I agree with the posters here that an endocrinologist would probably be the best place to start. However, having had the experience of residing in a place where there are no full-time endocronologists available (small town, mid-western America), if you can't find an endocronologist a good internist can also help you with all of these issues. Look for an office that consists only of internists so if you have any emergencies you can always see whatever doctor is available. I'm diabetic and take preventative medication for high cholesterol / blood pressure, and although an endocronologist was not available where I live I have been extremely happy with my internist. Ask around or ask your current doctor's office for a referral. Your symptoms don't sound good, so you probably need to get checked right away to make sure you haven't crossed over into becoming a full diabetic. Good luck to you; hope you feel better soon!
tubals can sometimes do funny things to our cycles.
i had mine tied in 2003 and about a year ago,out of the blue-i started having all sorts of problems.
my period usually lasted for about 3 days and was moderately to light flow. about a year ago it started last longer and longer-it now goes about 7 days and the flow is so heavy that at night i have to not only wear both the tampon and the pad at the same time, but i have to also line my bed with towels and set my alarm clock to get up and change things or i'll have a mess when i wake up.
i pass huge clots and have been hospitalized twice to receive blood transfusions due to my blood levels dropping so low.
i was diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia and have to take iron tablets everyday. my dr told me i could have surgery to stop my periods altogether but my boyfriend of two years has no children and we're going to be married eventually and want to have one together (i can have invitro done).
my advise to you is to monitor this situation-if you start to have abnormal bleeding (spotting during a time you're not supposed to have your period-i was doing this too), you have severe cramps with your next cycle or the same bleeding pattern-i would make an appt with your dr to have it checked out. the chances of you getting pregnant are less than 1%
I found this AMAZING website for physical therapy cyberpt …
That’s good, and by the same token I’d certainly volunteer to take that little toy’s place- tho not in her ear.
have u had sex? could be from friction.
if not i'd make a doctors app.
sorry i cant help more
You have to try and get over it because they can help you but only if you go. If you dont do anything about it, it can turn into a bigger problem. They are there to help you, think about it… how meny other woman do they see every day, its nothing new to them. Don't be afraid they wont hurt you. You'll be happy as soon as you get it over with.
Sounds like some serious irritation and it most likely is too your pads. I know you have changed different kinds, but make sure they are not deodorant, this will cause some serious irritation for most woman. Second try another brand or if possible try a tampon. I had the same problem and actually had to go to using tampons because I was allergic to pads.
I doubt if you have a yeast infection. However, watch what your washing with and call your doctor if it keeps persisting. Good luck to you
Say this to the nurse:
"The "GYN" in OB/GYN means gynocologist. As in, everything to do with girl parts. If you're having trouble with your girl parts you should see your gynocologist. I'm having trouble, I want to see a doctor. If you don't make me an appointment I'm calling the Medical Board and reporting you."
Most insurance providers allow you to get a second opinion. Find out if they'll pay for that.
Camp out in the lobby of your doctor's office.
Bring snacks and don't leave until you get an appointment or see a doctor.
Go to the emergency room.
They have to treat you. You fill out forms and they pay for everything.
EDIT:
If it was just the liquid, I'd say your system was trying to regulate after the birth, and you just needed time for hormones to settle down. As you know, giving birth wreaks havoc on the hormones and your system could be "confused" for a while. This shouldn't cause pain.
Because of the pain, I think there could be an underlying injury. Sometimes when muscles and tissues heal, they produce a thick, clear, odorless liquid. This could be normal, but if this injury isn't something your body can fix on it's own, well, you won't get better.
I think camping in the doctor's lobby is your best bet.
That or calling the California Medical Board and complaining.
Good luck.
that laughing is annoying
I am sorry I really do not have much information for you. But I know that in most states you can go to the health department and they will give you birth control pills there with little or no cost to you. I didn't know if you knew that or not. When I first got married my husband and I were so poor, we couldn't afford food much less birth control and health care coverage. We heard that you can also get your yearly "womanly" exams there too (at the health department). I went there and I got a free exam and also free birth control for one year.
I hope you get well soon and again I apologize for not being of much help regarding your question.
I don't use that but your period is prob just a little late. If you're experiencing your usual PMSing then I wouldn't worry about it. It's prob just the hormones and your body adjusting. Your right wait a week then take the test.
because they think they know everything!lol
