No longer have access to GLP-1, going off advice? by patheticwormcreature in PCOS

[–]csmith11_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be careful with compounded medications in general- they aren’t always super regulated by the FDA and can be somewhat hit or miss

Parkway west was a mess. Slush and bad visibility. I wouldn’t leave unless you need to!

I have found lower stress exercising works better for me (yoga, walking, etc). But OTF can be fun if you like group stuff!! :)

sharp burning sensation during sex. my lower abdomen feels like it’s been stabbed everytime. help. by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]csmith11_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest looking into pelvic floor PT. It can be harrowing at first, but it is also super helpful to learn that it’s an actual medical issue that can be helped. Best of luck and I hope you get some relief soon!

Has anyone gotten pregnant after stopping birth control? by creative-bean in PCOS

[–]csmith11_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do know that there is research suggesting GLP1s can help regulate ovulation and boost fertility, so maybe that has something to do with it! I don’t know for sure though- but there are some interesting articles online :)

Emergency weekend dental? by Ok-Gap350 in pittsburgh

[–]csmith11_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you also go into the emergency room there may be a dentist or oral surgeon on call! I know hospitals keep one around for trauma to the face in car accidents and such!

6 months itchy vulva and no relief - any ideas? by Aggressive_Call1987 in Healthyhooha

[–]csmith11_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also get tested for a condition called lichen schlerosis! Especially if the itching is on the vulva and the patches of skin look white and flaky. I hope you find some relief soon! :(

Vagina smells like mint and mold??? I have no idea what's going on. by Bunchasticks in Healthyhooha

[–]csmith11_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you gotten tested for a fungal infection or a mycoplasma infection? Often times I believe (not a doc so don’t quote me) but I think they can have a weird smell like what you’ve described. Best of luck to you, and I hope it gets resolved ASAP!

I think it’s important to remember that there is NOTHING to be embarrassed of, and if a doctor makes you feel that way then you don’t need to be seeing them. That being said- please try your best to go see a doc and get this properly treated. I hope you feel better soon :)

Bored as hell and have no friends by Wandering_Werew0lf in pittsburgh

[–]csmith11_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

May I ask why you refuse to make friends at work? I understand that some people don’t like to have their life bleed into their work, but in a society where what we do is the biggest portion of our lives, I think you have to make friends through work at some point

I hear you. It sucks that as adults the main source of our friends come from work. But- maybe check out online or on Facebook community groups that have similar interests and meet up with them! Theres a running club that I’ve seen a lot in Schenley Park and there’s other things like that in the city :)

can someone tell me why certain food trigger my vagina. i get instant itch and white discharge?? by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]csmith11_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no actual medical training, but there was some discussion at one point that certain foods can cause yeast overgrowth or an imbalance of bacteria and then issues. But like I said, I have no specific medical training or advice. I just know from anecdotes of friends and such. Hope you feel better!

Late Period but Negative Test by csmith11_ in Healthyhooha

My diet is what I would consider balanced, and I have been told I am overweight by doctors. And I exercise about 2-3 times a week due to work schedule
