Is it safe to fly before surgery?
According to information found in airline magazines, flying can contribute to the risk of DVT or deep vein thrombosis. Any sedentary state such as a long car or train ride can have similar risks. Exercises in your seat and getting up to walk around every so often can help. Medical tourism, that is traveling for the purpose of medical care, is on the rise from 500,000 US residents who traveled outside the US for medical care in 2007. Often far less expensive, patients who do their homework can see considerable savings without sacrificing quality care. Specialty insurance that covers Accidents, Sickness, Complications of Surgery and other valuable benefits is available for medical tourists whether they have major medical health insurance or not - so if you are medical tourist and a victim of DVT, there's coverage available that can help.

Can you go through the menopause while on the pill?
Your body produces a variety of hormones throughout the month. The first hormone tells your ovaries to ovulate. Once the egg is released, it is released along with another hormone that tells your body to get ready for a fertilised egg. If no fertilised egg arrives, the uterine lining breaks down and you get a period. As your body starts menopause, two things happen: firstly you stop producing the hormone to tell you to ovulate and secondly your body runs out of eggs to ovulate. If your body doesn't think you've ovulated, you don't get a period. If your body is not producing the hormone naturally, then by giving it synthetic hormones (i.e. the pill) you are artificially tricking your body to think it's ovulated and you will get your period. That is how the Pill works - it prevents ovulation but still still gives the body the hormones it needs to go through the mentrual cycle. Many women use the Pill instead of other types of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) during the first years of peri-menopause so they can regulate their cycles and hormones while still preventing pregnancy (though their chances may be greatly reduced of getting pregnant). You will get your period if your body has the right hormones (natural or synthetic) at the right time, whether you have actually ovulated or not. However, you cannot get pregnant without ovulation.
The word "menopause" means the "end of monthly cycles" a Greek word pausis (cessation) and the root men- (month), because the word "menopause" was created to describe this change in human females, where the end of fertility is traditionally indicated by the permanent stopping of monthly menstruation or menses. Natural menopause occurs when the ovaries naturally begin decreasing their production of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. Menopause is not a disease that needs to be cured, but a natural life-stage transition.
Menopause signals the end of fertility. It generally occurs between age of 45-55.
BCP's do not regulate your system, they suppress it using synthetic hormones. This can cause suppression of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis which tells our bodies what hormones to make & when. Taking synthetic hormones over a long period of time can throw your entire system out of whack causing Estrogen or Progesterone deficiencies or dominance long after you discontinue their use. The symptoms of these things can be very problematic for years - depression, fertility issues, mood swings, fatigue, etc.
Some people have problems - some don't - it depends on how long you were on them & how quickly your own body can bounce back.

How do you hold a girl when kissing?
Typically, you should put your hands around their neck, their chest, or even their waist. Do whichever one is comfortable. If you are looking to spice things up, you may want to hold their face or tousle their hair with your fingers. Do what feels natural and if you're confident, move your hands, and let them explore down his back and near his hips. Good luck! :)
Why do some girls get upset with you for staring at other girl's feet?

What are usually the first signs of menopause?
The first signs of menopause typically include irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, and night sweats. Many women also experience changes in mood, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms are linked to fluctuating hormone levels, particularly estrogen, as the body transitions towards the end of reproductive capability. Each woman's experience can vary significantly in terms of the timing and severity of symptoms.
When you measure your bust and under the bust you get an incorrect bra size why?
Women's bodies are not always perfect and bra sizes go by standard sizes. To find the best fitting bra, you would:
- measure the circumference of the chest wall; lift the breasts so the tape measure sits right below the breast tissue, and
- measure the circumference by putting the tape measure at an even level around the back and directly on top of your nipples.
Note: Some women have asymmetrical or lopsided breasts, one slightly bigger in the cup.
You might want to be professionally fitted at a bra shop, then use those measurements to buy bras at your preferred store.

How deep is the hyman located?
Its been told that the hyman is located at the opening of the vagina. but from personal experience, the hyman is actually located no more than 3-4inches within a womans vagina. Also, the hyman does not always determine wheather are not a girl is a virgin. The hyman is a delacate layer of skin, which can be torn by doing vigarouse activities, such as bike riding,masterbation with a dildo, doing splits,getting hit near it and etc... So the hyman does not always dtermine virginity. Going back to the persanol experience. My boyfriend and i were having a conversation about my cherry(hyman)being poped. I've never bleed during sexual intercourse and he is the second guy i had have sex with. Whenever it was time for him to go deeper, it would hurt like hell, so I questioned my doctor and got the information i needed. My boyfriend and i had sex and yes, i bleed like a virgin. So there ya go....
