Menstruation

Lots of things,if you are on your period or you are about to start your period,if you hit it,if your breasts are growing,it could also be an infection and maybe cancer.If your breast hurts have it checked right away!Once,my left breast hurt really bad,it was red and sore.I went to a doctor and she told me I had an infection,she gave me some antibiotics and it was gone in a week,so go have it checked!Good luck! :)

The previous contributor is correct, but it should be noted that cancer usually does NOT cause pain until it has reached an advanced stage.


The good news is: breast pain is usually NOT caused by cancer.


The bad news is: women still erroneously wait until their breasts hurt to check for cancer. Then it could be too late to achieve a cure.


Self examination and regular checkups should be the routine for every mature woman, and for all young woman with family history of breast cancer.


Anyone with breast pain of unknown origin should see their health care practitioner at earliest convenience -- not because of a cancer worry, but because more likely causes, like infection, can cause a world of hurt if they're allowed to fester.

The start time for symptoms associated with your period can vary with the individual, just like the actual amount of time your period lasts. Most people start getting cramps, becoming irritable, and experiencing breast tenderness during the week before the actual period starts.

no. i don't know if there is any correlation between having periods and losing weight. i know that some birth controls will make you gain weight, but they don't necessarily stop your period. i just went off birth control after being on it for 3 years and the entire time i only had 2 periods!! but, i stayed exactly the same weight.

if you are on Birth Control, you can usually skip your period by not taking your sugar pills, and starting your new pack of pills instead. This is not advisable to do a lot.

Yes, as long as it is not associated with pain (other than regular menstrual type cramping) or a bad smell.

No one can diagnose your problem online -- even based on the symptoms you provided. You should contact a medical professional/gynecologist for answers to your specific questions and to get an in-person evaluation and any necessary tests or medications.

It is never a good idea to combine medication with alcohol... Add-on: Especially Paxil. Paxil is a psychotropic drug (specifically an SSRI, or selective seritonin re-uptake inhibitor). Used for treating depression, panic disorders and OCD, it works on the assumption that other neurotransmitters are stable. Alcohol is a systemic depressant, which also causes fluctuation (specifically, depression of) neurotransmission and the neurotransmitters seritonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Side effects of using alcohol with paxil can range from exacerbation of OCD or depressive symptoms to onset of panic attack, as well as suicidal ideation or thinking.

Beans are probably the most famous fart food, but they don't produce the smelliest results. Egg white works well, beef (specially stewed), cauliflower and soya milk (which tastes disgusting but is well worth it!!!) If you want to stink someone out silent but deadly, vegetables and lemonade/coke should do the trick nicely...

No, your period will come normally.

I was pregnant when i found out i have HPV but was told it will not mess up your period. Genital warts and cervical cancer are the only problems hpv could cause and both are rare. Two of my older sisters have had HPV. One had hers frozen and the other had it removed with lasers. None of us had any symptoms and didn't know we had a problem until we had pap smears. Mine hasn't been treated because I am pregnant and should go away on its own when i give birth.

No, aspirin cannot start your period and nor can anything else, your period will only start when it is due to start. When your period starts is determined by your menstrual cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between your brain and reproductive organs; you can't skip phases of your menstrual cycle or speed-up your cycle to start menstruation before it's due.

There's no reason why a person should use tampons at all, and no age restrictions as such.

Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or women in their early teens, this is in part because a person has to be mature enough to understand health risks that come with tampons and be responsible enough to use tampons correctly to reduce those risks. Younger women are at higher risk from Toxic Shock Syndrome because vaginal tissues are more delicate so more prone to tearing through tampon use which allows bacteria and toxins into the bloodstream, but also younger women are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies to prevent them developing Toxic Shock Syndrome.

I'm a girl and I hit my period at 10 years old. My dad's girlfriend's daughters Karissa, Katlyn, and Alssya hit their periods too. Karissa is currently 18 fixing to turn 19. She hit hers at 10 years old as well. And so did Katlyn. Alyssa hit hers at 15. My dad's girlfriend, Traci, hit hers at 10 too.! So the age might be 10 through 17.

There is some debate about this, it may increase your risks of certain kinds of cancers (such as cervical and liver cancers) but it may also reduce your risks of other cancers (such as uterine cancer). You should always discuss yours and your family medical histories with your doctor before deciding to go on any medications, and birth control is not different. Risks are also increased if you are a smoker. Discuss with your doctor at your next yearly appointment about what your risks are of continuing on hormonal birth control for an extended period of time.

you should never get pregnant until YOU have actually gotten married and you can safly provide a home and food and all the support your child needs..now i usually joke on answers but this i take seriously...i don't want anyones kid to go through what i had to go through.

If you can, then ask your mom about buying them, or using them, she will be more understanding. If she says no, or your dad says no, explain why you want to use them. Something like, # The pads are not long enough and I'm bleeding over the edge. # I find pads uncomfortable. # I want to be able to go swimming in my period, and I don't want to leave blood in the pool. or if they think you're not old enough, explain that it's nothing to do with how old you are, it's to do with you being happy and comfortable, and if they still say no, definitely say, "Mom! You can't lose your virginity to a tampon!" in a loud voice*, like she's being silly, because, trust me you can't, and sometimes old people believe stuff that's not true, or try and keep you as their little girl by telling you things that aren't true. * I really do not recommend doing this in a public place, unless you're trying to get grounded. Talk to your mom at home.

Malnutrition and extreme stress are two possibilities. Also not everyone is completely regular, especially very young women. Extreme workout or sports involvement has also been known to cause a girl to miss her period.

Yes you can get pregnant if not using your birth control correctly get to your doctor and have a test done asap do not take your birth control if you suspect that you are pregnant until pregnancy is ruled out if it hasn't been 72 hours since you had sex get to your doctor or planned parenthood clinic asap and get the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy and start using your birth control correctly and more responsibly try the patch( once a week) ring( once a month) shot (once every 3 months) or the IUD( once every 5 years) if you have trouble remembering to take the pill every day hope this helps good luck and God Bless!!!

because the menstrual cycle has stopped the female hormone estrogen stops getting circulated through her body and the male hormone testosterone begins to circlulate and ultimately she begins to get more aggressive and also grows hair in awkward places and she grows a penis

There is no specific time that is optimal for conceiving a boy or a girl. It is all to do with genetics. There is a 50:50 chance of conceiving a male, and 50:50 chance of a female.

The sperm from the father determines the sex of the child.Yes, it is indeed genetic.

Females are XX and males are XY. Every sperm has 23 sets of chromosomes. The mom's egg has 23 sets also.(46 each)

generally not. birth control takes about a month to work. certain kinds are made to stop your period but others contain a week of blank pills (pills without a hormone) to allow your period to happen once a month, even while your birth control is in effect. for some people, like me, it stops your period anyway though. sometimes you have to switch different brands to see which one is right for you.

If you have been anemic for some time - your periods may have become slight. With iron stores replaced they will become normal again.

If your periods hadn't changed from the anemia they won't change from the iron either.

Depending on your age it can be, but irregularities in the menstrual cycle should always be reported to your OBGYN. If the problem persists, discuss it with him/her. Always remember to keep track of when your menstrual cycles start and end for medical references.
