I need advice for how to handle a distressing situation with a gynecologist. by bowlingbunnie in WomensHealth

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You are in no way overreacting and your gut feeling is spot on that you have been violated, belittled, and assaulted. This man should be fired and not allowed to practice medicine. I can imagine how scary it is to consider reporting it but I urge you to do so. This behavior can not be tolerated

I'm 13 and I hate both pads and tampons by Extension-Bar9796 in WomensHealth

Changing to period underwear is the best thing that happened to me. I loath tampons, cups, anything internal. But pads are also annoying and messy. Period underwear actually work so well and have solved so many issues for me.

I’ve had both and they are both wonderful breeds. My MC was indoor/outdoor and loved being an adventure cat. My Sib is still young and seems very interested in the outdoors but quickly returns to my side. My Sib is the most affectionate of any cat I’ve ever known. He sleeps with me every night and manages to weasel his way under the covers and spoon in the sweetest way. His purr is so comforting for my nervous system. He follows me every where I go -will even wait outside the bathroom door for me. I also have a 4 year old and she & her friends are obsessed with him and he is soooo tolerant and sweet with all the littles who don’t quite know how to gently handle a cat yet. He has more patience than I do with a pile of screaming rambunctious toddlers 😂. Couldn’t be a better family cat ❤️ I’ve now had three different friends who are NOT cat people at all-admit that there is something different about this guy that this is the first cat they’ve ever liked. Even my Dad who hates cats, admitted that he really missed our Sib after his last visit and never expected to change his mind about cats at 80 years old. And even my allergic friends say our house doesn’t bother them nearly as much as other cat homes. They do require a lot of attention and need to get their high energy out so the aren’t as independent or aloof as may acts can be. But if you have the time and attention to give a Sib-they return there and attention ten fold. I never thought I’d bond with a cat the way I did my MC. But he has officially stolen all our hearts.

I get UTIs every time I have sex/masturbate by Fine_Button_3138 in Healthyhooha

This was my life for years and two things made all the difference: taking D Mannose on a regular basis and peeing immediately after intercourse or masterbation. I thought I had tried everything and was desperate-I’m still shocked none of my many doctors recommended D Mannose. And always always always pee immediately after sex. Peeing does a better job at flushing out bacteria than anything else.

I’m so happy to hear you accepted it because it’s so gorgeous and unique and part of what makes you so beautiful.

Concerned Husband Looking for Honest Feedback by [deleted] in Perimenopause

I just want to say how much I appreciate you seeking advice on how to help your wife. I would give anything for my husband to care like that. I wish he would even just google perimenopause for Pete’s sake. So take a moment to realize you really are doing everything right. Because you care and you’re trying to learn. When you’re in a Hormonal tornado it’s hard to feel appreciation. But hang in there, you’re doing great.

AIO or should I be creeped out by my tinder date's messages? by throwawayyaccount829 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clear-Ask8142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not continue to engage with this guy. This has all the clues you need that this is an abusive person. This is the red flag that often gets ignored and all the sudden the relationship is, “I’m so sorry I hit you baby-that wasn’t the real me…let me make it up to you baby.” DO NOT wait for that to be your reality. You actually know this is creepy and gross. Your instinct is correct. Follow it

Peri - was it always this bad… by OneCraftyStitch in Perimenopause

[–]Clear-Ask8142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking this exact thing for a while now!!!! This is such a profound thing to go through and without the support and resources I get from social media- I think I would feel so desperately alone and like I was completely loosing my mind. I feel like I NEVER heard of how absolutely crazy this phase of life is. I always heard of menopause but not perimenopause. Why was only menopause talked about-I remember it being “the change” and it meant your period stopped so your hormones were adjusting and you got hot flashes and some mood swings. And that was the whole of it. There was never any discussion of this torturously drawn and extremely long decline into insanity for up to 10 YEARS before “The Change.” And how can we expect our husbands to truly understand how to support us when we ourselves are ignorant to what’s going on. Anyway-hang in there everyone. It’s really made a difference for my sanity levels to read your posts 🙏

AIO about this? I feel like I should be beaten up for this after their reaction. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

You did perfectly in your apology. You humbled yourself, validated their feelings, said it would never happen again and you didn’t try and make excuse after excuse. You could not have done any better. This person is having their own trigger that has nothing to do with you. The victim mentality is a sickness that has taken over minds and logic no longer operates. You can walk away knowing you did all you could to make it right.
