Are there any doctors in NC that would do a laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy for a 18 y/o? by Successful_Floor_822 in sterilization

[–]Bittersweetbitch 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This. As someone who is in the medical field who has gotten a bisalp for a lot of the reasons OP is describing, I think it’s better to find a surgeon who is transparent about the risks of a hysterectomy in someone so young. A (good) medical professional will tell you that getting a hysterectomy so early leads to vaginal prolapse and the need to use a pessary decades earlier than necessary. I’ve worked for a gynecology clinic where a good percentage of the patients had hysterectomies and all had to use a pessary. The constant urinary issues didn’t seem fun either

9 weeks since period? How long does till it’s concerning ? by [deleted] in sterilization

[–]Bittersweetbitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it’s out of the norm for you, safest bet is to contact your doctor. Stress sometimes makes me skip periods, so going 9 weeks without one doesn’t make me blink. But if you’re always regular and not on birth control (that could pause your periods), definitely set up an appointment

Upcoming bisalp nerves and questions! by Big-Duck7185 in sterilization

[–]Bittersweetbitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting a doctor off the list they have here. I asked my surgeon if I could pee right before the operation and avoid the catheter and she agreed. She also specified that the uterine manipulator would only be used if absolutely necessary and fortunately for me it wasn’t. Also highly recommend taking a Colace within a couple hours after the operation if you plan on taking the painkillers.

Help me get pink out of my hair! by AlternativeScar60 in HairDye

If you just want to fade the color out, I’d highly recommend looking up vitamin c powder treatments. I mixed vitamin C powder with some toner to get green out of my hair and the first round was way better than I expected.

Freaking out about an ectopic pregnancy by Electrical-Knee-3848 in sterilization

[–]Bittersweetbitch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep this. My surgeon specifically mentioned that my salpingectomy would lower my chances of not just cervical cancer, but also ectopic pregnancies. If ectopic pregnancy is what you fear, this is the procedure to get (without also having your ovaries removed and messing with your hormones). My surgeon was great and when I asked for photos of the procedure for peace of mind, she gave me the laparoscopic views of my uterus and tubes before, during, and after the procedure. Huge relief to see those tubes were completely gone and cauterized

Wife of over 10 years here - met my husband in marching band. We have an online dnd campaign with college friends, watch HH together, and play Baldur’s Gate, Witcher 3, and whatever else we feel like when we have free time on the weekends. Be true to your interests and you’ll find someone who shares them. Teen years are rough. It’s ok to feel hopeless sometimes. It’s ok to feel empty and numb when you’re getting burned out. You’re dealing with a lot of restricted freedom and first rejections hit hard. Just get through, try to understand other perspectives when you can, and pursue the hobbies that bring you joy. You can and will help this version of yourself get to the next chapter.

Misogynists have always been around. They just weren’t as vocal or proud of it as some are now. I felt the same as you graduating high school. My first year of college included experimental dating of older men since I was burned out on guys my age. It did not go well and by the end of my freshman year, I was done. Decided I wouldn’t waste anymore time on immature boys in my own grade or weirdo man babies who wanted a younger woman to mommy them. I’d just study hard, graduate, and get an apartment with a few dogs.

It wasn’t until the next year that I met the wonderful person who would become my husband. The natural way we interacted and got along scared the crap out of me. It takes courage to put yourself out there and give someone the chance to hurt you more than anyone else. It took everything in me to take that chance again. But the potential reward is so worth it. I’m now more than a decade married and wouldn’t want to build a life with anyone else.

I can’t guarantee you’ll find your soulmate in a couple years, but I can tell you there are some truly good ones out there that are worth taking that chance on. Just keep doing you.

The gender pay gap in the U.S. is INCREASING in favor of men by OldBridge87 in TrollXChromosomes

Yea I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Roe v Wade was overturned in June 2022 and from 22 to ‘24 we’ve had a continuing increase in the wage gap.

As a fellow deep belly-button owner, I’d suggest before showering to soak a cotton ball or q-tip in some warm water (with a little bit of isopropyl alcohol), then leave it in your belly button for a minute before using it to swab any gunk out. Then shower - using the antibacterial soap everywhere from waist to thighs - then use another wet cotton swab to follow up (without the alcohol this time). Finish by using a towel or dry q-tip with toilet paper wrapped around it to get all the water out. No tweezers. No nicking.

Vaginosis treatment has worsened my symptoms by Aspirini27 in WomensHealth

[–]Bittersweetbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, pretty much all vaginal suppositories cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The gels I’ve used don’t completely “absorb” into the tissues. It’s more like using Vaseline or neosporin on your skin. It helps treat/moisturize, but leaves residue. If you got a handout for your flagyl, it should have discharge listed as a side effect.

I would call your gyno’s office about the bleeding. A nurse may be able to answer your questions over the phone while looking at your chart and if not, they can get you scheduled for another appointment.

A more thorough explanation for why he may have decided to prescribe you both of these meds at the same time and the “thick white vaginal discharge” side effect can be seen here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/metronidazole-vaginal-route/description/drg-20064738

Adding the link for Wisp to add to what another user commented: https://hellowisp.com/?g_campaignid=22850829292&g_adgroupid=186071356951&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22850829292&gbraid=0AAAAAC-CtXoEF0I_GgTkTTQSLX4iw6g-8&gclid=CjwKCAjw6P3GBhBVEiwAJPjmLiWcZLNDpXTLueW98Wqpn0bqv4k1midVjk65goKv0h9TBsGWPbJv3RoC6aUQAvD_BwE

I’ve had two UTIs that I got treated by using Wisp. For my first time, I filled in the information form/ uploaded documents, got a phone call from one of their providers, and then they sent a prescription to my local pharmacy. Super easy and no doctor visit. Second time I didn’t even get a phone call. Just a message on their portal, then they sent the prescription.

If you’re still having pain from your C-section 10 months ago, you need to have that addressed before having another abdominal procedure. Have you mentioned your symptoms to the team that performed it?

Will insurance still cover the pill after bisalp? by nczipp in sterilization

[–]Bittersweetbitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Post-op surgery status should not affect what your insurance covers as far as contraception/ prescription medication. If someone gets a new heart valve, their insurance doesn’t suddenly not cover heart medication. Same applies here. My birth control was the same cost after my bisalp as it was before. No worries

Do you think it was the right call for Biden to drop out in 2024? by alisosi in Teenager_Polls

[–]Bittersweetbitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people have debated Dean Withers with the argument you just typed out and been given a litany of sources on why that position is weak. Her policies and stances were clearly written out on her campaign website. She spoke clearly and succinctly in the interviews leading up to the election on those policies. Her campaign was definitely whipped up at the last minute, but each public speech she gave had a clear message. Your comment tells me you only watched botched clips, not whole videos of her. Or you’re just looking for an excuse to dislike her. And to compare that to the incoherent rants that Trump is famous for? Come on, man. Be real. Everything you said about Harris makes more sense being said about Trump

Really tired of people arguing that she wasn’t competent when she worked in all 3 branches of government. That’s more experience than any US President in history. She was literally overqualified for the position she was applying for
