Menopause

Usually around their late fourties to their early fifties. This is when their "monthly gift" goes from painful to EXTREMELY painful because the female body can no longer reproduce and hold onto it's eggs at this age.

Yes

Go see your doctor right away!

Goes back, reverts

i was told by my ob that she cut and burned them "really good"......but now i have read where they can heal and grow back together after this method.........so i am not sure that burning them is the best way. i think removing them is the better way from what i have read. good luck!

The signs of menopause are: sensitive breasts hot and cold flashes moodiness forgetfulness missed periods no periods gaining weight (in all the wrong places) bloating constipation diarrhea headaches depression Some women get few hot/cold flashes or very few symptoms. Others may get one or two out of the above list. Please read up on menopause (your local book stores have great books on the subject) and learn about this new phase your body is going through. I went through mine with no HRT (not good for you because it's related to cancer of the breast and heart problems.) HRT is Hormone Replacement Therapy, and it's best to seek out a Homeopathic doctor and he/she can help you in this area. Menopause is just another area in which a woman is destined and nothing to be afraid of. No, you don't dry up and blow away and life is just beginning. No more periods, the kids (if you have any) are grown up and you can start to do what you want to do in your life. You can go back to college for a few courses (I did) get another job or go out and work and so many other wonderful things. I'm glad I've had my menopause and although doctors say it takes about 10 years, I think they are wrong. Once your periods cease, you will always be in menopause, but the symptoms will subside. Good luck Marcy

The palm is in the hand. It is a body part. The little finger in the hand is referred to as the pinky.

It requires the person, who has an underactive, or overactive, thyroid to take natural hormone replacement therapy. The therapy is either a daily pill from a special compounding pharmacy, or a rice grain sized pellet surgically implanted by a doctor underneath the skin. The surgical slit is tiny, as is the pellet. If you have ever seen a micro-chip inserted for identification, it is similar to that procedure.

It could be a yeast infection, go to the doctor asap. I differ from the response above... When having a lump it can mean different cause... First thing you need to ask yurself are you sexual active? How many partners? Do you shave (can be an engrown hair, hair follicles) you can also get pimples in the area. It can also be a std. My advice is to go to your ob/gyn

If you are 3 weeks late a pregnancy test, it will be accurate.

Have you considered you maybe going through "the change" - menopause usually begins between the ages of 45 and 55. If your pregnancy test is negative continue to use birth control until you have missed 12 periods in a row - to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

Think about it. Sperm is just the single swimming cell with the chromosomes. Semen is perm mixed in with liquid. The seminal vesicles and prostate gland produce the liquid that provides the sperm with a proper environment in which to swim in to fertilize the egg. So yes they are very important.

Menopause is only a term for the change that happens to women when they cease to be able to have babies. So if a woman has had a child or not she will usually go through the menopause at about late forties or fifties.

Yes, I think so, I went through menopause at 38. Make sure you find medical assistance that accepts that you are having an early menopause otherwise you may be treated for a range of other disorders including psychological, and, if you are menopausing your hormones will be all over the place and you are at risk of complications.

Sometimes your skin doesn't need much of a reason to develop a spot of pigmentation. Unless they grow, become tender, irritated or discolored you can safely ignore them. If you think of them as genital freckles you'd be fairly close. If you don't trust it or if you are not sure what the spots are, I strongly recommend you to see a doctor. Don't hestitate to make a call right now, just to know for sure.

Gum pain can have many causes. Some of the causes include gingivitis, periodontitis, hormonal changes due to pregnancy, and localized ulcers.

Yes, in the United States hormone replacement is legal. In fact, there are specialists in the area of age management. Ask your general practitioner for a referral or recommendation to a bioidentical hormone doctor.

There are many, I would nominate my roommate Karan Kohli

At 12 you're likely to be irregular anyway so I shouldn't worry too much about it. The only circumstances where you should perhaps take further steps is if there is the possibility that you could be pregnant.

I think the man should separate from the woman...immediately. This is not to condone the rage or angry behavior (shouting?), but it seems to be an imperfect response to inexcusable behavior. It is a vicious cycle and is not good for either party. If it is early in the relationship and otherwise things are good, a good communication class for both parties might be in order. But if the abusive behavior continues, then it is a deal breaker to the relationship.

There is little difference between male and female abusers. See the external links further down this page.

Before I could offer any suggestions - I need to have EXPLAINED what is meant by "the rage such abuse often triggers?" It sounds like - when you are abused? you then rage. Is this the case??? If you are raging at her then in all probability and from experience - she is trying to defend herself!!!!!!!!!!

Abuse is abuse period. I am a man that recently left an abusive relationship with a female Narcissist. The abuse was mostly non-verbal - silent treatment, withdrawing and other manipulating, control tactics that infected me like a slow poison over time. I made a stand and left the woman, which is the only viable option. It hurt tremendously, but you have to respect yourself.

One method abusers use is to revicitmize the vicitm by including the naive commmunity in on joining him in order to do so.

It is best to leave abusive relationships in the past.

Stalkers and the Borderline Personality

The Borderline Personality

In recent years psychologists have learned about and done case studies on a new personality disorder which the DSM-III-R classifies as an Axis II disorder- the Borderline Personality . This classification includes such personality disorders as the Anti-social Personality, the Histrionic Personality and the Narcissistic Personality. Several psychologists (including myself) diagonosed my stalker as afflicted with the Borderline Personality. Characteristic of the Borderline (derived from research done by Kreisman & Straus, 1989) are:

a shaky sense of identity

sudden, violent outbursts

oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection

brief, turbulent love affairs

frequent periods of intense depression

eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies

an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone

Not much research has been done on the Borderline Personality, and for many years it was difficult to diagnose- and to treat. A Borderline often feels as though his/her life is marked with a distinctive emptiness; a void in which a relationship often acts to fill. Many times the Borderline is a victim of an early dysfunctional family situation and/or emotional/physical abuse by those he/she trusted early on in childhood.

The Borderline is psychotic , in the original, psychological meaning of the term: he/she is not in control and not in touch with reality. To the Borderline, a softly spoken word of advice can be construed as a threat on his/her emotional stability. An outsider's viewpoint that the Borderline is not in touch with reality often ends in a bitter and irrational dissassociation from the outsider on the part of the Borderline. Often, the Borderline ends up very much alone and victim to his/her disillusions.

The Borderline stalker is very apt to see his/her actions as perfectly justified; he/she has paranoid disillusions which support these-often with disturbing frequency. The Borderline often has brief love affairs which end abruptly, turbulently and leave the Borderline with enhanced feelings of self-hatred, self-doubt and a fear that is not often experienced by rational people. When the Borderline's relationships turn sour, the Borderline often begins to, at first, harass the estranged partner with unnecessary apologies and/or apologetic behavior (i.e. letters of apology 'from the heart', flowers delivered at one's place of employment, early morning weeping phonecalls, etc.). However, the Borderline does not construe his/her behavior as harassment- to the Borderline he/she is being 'responsible' for his/her past behaviors.

The next phase of the Borderline Personality develops relatively quickly and soon he/she feels suddenly betrayed, hurt, etc. and seeks to victimize the estranged partner in any way he/she can. Strangely enough, this deleterious behavior is always coupled with a need to be near or in constant contact with the estranged partner . While sending threats to the estranged partner, it is very common for the Borderline to begin to stalk his/her estranged partner in an effort to maintain contact. This effort is motivated by the excruciating fear that the Borderline will end up alone and anger that [the estranged partner] has put him/her in this position. We are finding, in many cases, that a great deal of stalking behavior is associated with Borderline or related personality disorders. Earlier research did not incorporate the Borderline Personality in stalking profiles; research now is beginning to focus on the Borderline in such disorders as Erotomania, etc.

IF I have understood the question correctly, it sounds as if the abuser (in this case a woman) may be trying to provoke her male partner into attacking her physically. If this is the case, DON'T fall for it. DON'T get into a rage; just walk out. What she is doing sounds like calculated trickery based on the knowledge that for many people the key image of domestic violence is that of a man beating up his female partner. Although professionals, such as social workers and judges may be theoretically aware that there are many forms of emotional abuse, many have real problems getting to grips with the concept. Consider, too, that if your abuser can 'turn the tables' on you and make you appear the abuser, she will feel morally as high as high can be.

IF I've understood the situation correctly, and it's quite possible that I haven't, and IF your partner is succeeding in sending you into a monumental rage, then arguably you are two consenting adults playing a very dangerous game of 'abuse me'. (I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but something in the relationship seems odd over and above the abuse. On the face of it, you seem to be claiming the right to rage on the grounds that the abuse is so painful. Get out before something worse happens.

The medical term for menstrual cramps is dysmenorrhea. There are two types of

dysmenorrhea, primary and secondary. Read below in recommended links - "Menstrual Cramps" and "Natural Remedies for Menstrual Cramps".

In primary dysmenorrhea, there is no underlying gynecologic problem causing the pain. This type of cramping may begin within six months to a year following menarche (the beginning of menstruation), the time when a girl starts having menstrual periods. Menstrual cramps typically do not begin until ovulatory menstrual cycles (when an egg is released from the ovaries) occur, and actual menstrual bleeding usually begins before the onset of ovulation. Therefore, an adolescent girl may not experience dysmenorrhea until months to years following the onset of menstruation.

In secondary dysmenorrhea, some underlying abnormal condition (usually involving a

woman's reproductive system) contributes to the menstrual pain. Secondary dysmenorrhea may be evident at menarche but, more often, the condition develops later.

If you have not had a period for more than a year and experience menstrual bleeding you should get checked. Pap smears should be done regularly especially after menopause because if a woman still has periods in earlier years a sudden change in amount of bleeding can alert her, but not after menopause. Post-menopausal women who have not had a hormone level test should get one if they feel below par or develop hair growth on upper lip that is noticeable. This hair growth could indicate a hormone imbalance which can be corrected.
