Menstrual Pain

It is probably just a period symptom, but if it gets very painful, you need to go and speak to a doctor or go to hospital because it could be a cyst or ectopic pregnancy, if there is a chance you could be pregnant

Menstrual cramps are common but not a normal part of healthy menstruation, it should be noted that most women can prevent menstrual cramps and that severe menstrual cramps may be a sign of a serious underlying health problem. Menstrual cramps are a result of hormone-like chemicals that cause uterine contractions, in too high quantities they cause the blood vessels in the uterus to contract so starving the uterus of oxygen - a little like a heart attack - and thus the pain.

This would depend on a lot of different factors, but a late period on its own does not necessarily mean you are pregnant. It is quite normal to get period pains a few days before you actually start bleeding so this is nothing to worry about either. If you have recently had unprotected sex then there is always a possibility that you are pregnant and the best way of finding this out is to take a pregnancy test. However, a late or irregular period is quite common in all women so this on its own is nothing to worry about.

nothing is wrong, your period will come! I once had steady cramps for 10 days before my period. It is perfectly normal, relax! :)

This time can be varied from individual to individual but normally Danazol is cleared from the system within 3 - 6 months after discontinuation of the medication.

In 20% of women, they stop having periods, or they become extremely light. I have had Marina for 7 years, and I stopped having periods. Its really nice! The body doesn't make the the thicker lining of the uterus every month, so its not necessary and perfectly safe.

You can do any form of exercise that you want during menstruation, some people find their performance is reduced a little or find some exercises increase menstrual cramps but you know best what works for you. Yoga is one particularly good form of exercise during menstruation as it's gentle, involving stretching and breathing, there are even specific poses to help with menstrual health.

Yes, pillows can help ease your menstrual cramps. I've interviewed many women about cramps and many of them will put a pillow under their abdomen and lay on it. The added pressure seems to relieve the cramping quite a bit. Of course you can use many things besides a pillow, even hour hands. Anything to add some pressure to your abdomen. Hope this helps.

You are doing whats called "throwing up". Don't sweat it, it is a natural reaction of your body to quickly evacuate unwanted items and it happens to all of us occasionally.

It means you are either having a very light period already, or it is still coming.

Mid-cycle pain is middleschmertz, which about 20% of women experience, including myself. It's ovulation pain, and although annoying, it comes in handy when you wish to get pregnant or for naturally preventing pregnancy.

Mid-cycle bleeding, or "spotting," is caused by a drop in estrogen that occurs just before ovulation. The drop in hormones causes withdrawal bleeding and is harmless.

However, if you're worried about having a discharge, your should see a gynecologist for a checkup. When in doubt, see a doctor.

The best time is during you actual period (especially if you have period pains). By relaxing the muscles, massage can help reduce period pain as the uterus muscles will contract less (which is what causes the pain) when they are relaxed. A back massage will be particularly useful. Other than that - any time is a good time to have a massage!

It depends on personal circumstances but often low haemoglobin levels indicate excessive blood loss. In women this is usually caused by heavy or irregular periods. It is important to ensure you maintain healthy haemoglobin levels as blood carries oxygen around to the body and to the brain; low haem levels can starve the brain. Symptoms of this occurring can include lethargy and pounding headaches.

Call a doctor as soon as possible, especially if you have also felt short of breath. It may just be a pulled muscle, or a chest infection, though since there is a higher risk of pulmonary embolism - a blood clot that gets stuck in the lung - in pregnant women, it is best to get you checked over asap and make sure everything is fine! PE is rare, so don't panic, but it is also an emergency if it does happen. So if you have had an unexplained sharp chest pain go to hospital just to be on the safe side.

Hope everything is fine and good luck with your last few weeks of pregnancy.

Yes. You need to go and speak to your doctor about it. I know it can be embarassing but it is better to get it checked out sooner rather than later

An egg of a human female will live for up to 24 hours.

If more than one egg is released during ovulation there may be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours maximum. The individual may be fertile for up to a week beforehand due to the presence of fertile cervical mucus which helps the sperm survive in the vagina and reach the fallopian tubes where sperm can go into a form of hibernation while waiting for ovulation to occur.

Wow, I have been searching the internet for someone to answer this same question for me. I am so crampy, in my lower belly and my lower back. I am 5'9 and 130lbs., pretty slim and I feel a little bloated. I think is it in my head, and that's why? Or maybe I just am. I do take the pill, but I was on antibiotics for two weeks! The only conclusion I can come to is wait until I miss my period......then tell my fiance?

Its possible You could have a Pelvic infection.

This won't sound right but just tense and relax it.

premenstrual syndrome: a syndrome that occurs in many women from 2 to 14 days before the onset of menstruation

It could possibly be a cyst/ infection or fluid filled sac, go to the doctor. We have little glands (Bartholin's glands)either side of the opening to the vagina which help with lubrication. Sometimes one of them gets blocked and an infection develops. It is not serious but can be painful as well as smelly. go to the doctor.

It depends on what kind of hysterectomy you get. If it's an abdominal hysterectomy,no.They cut it out through your stomach.If it's a vaginal hysterectomy,the take it out through the vagina,but I still don't think pubic hair would be a factor. Unless your doctor told you to,I would wait until you got to the hospital.Sometimes they shave you there.
