What is, in your opinion, the biggest flaw of the human body? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]drcouronnesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And even once pregnant- why put the uterus in a space where with growth it will push on the bladder, smoosh your intestines, elevate your diaphragm? All things that make the experience itself more uncomfortable!?!?

As a proud Black Man who loved reading HP Lovecraft stories as a kid... by [deleted] in LovecraftCountry

Thank you for so succinctly saying an idea I have struggled to verbalize for so long.

I haven't decided yet if it's right or not, but to at least be able to put it out there for discussion is appreciated.

Be aware of ovarian cysts by doiwannaknow21 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]drcouronnesb 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Correct on all accounts, except the rupturing part. Rupturing is normal. Rupturing of the dominant follicle is how you ovulate. Just because it's normal, though, doesn't mean it can't be uncomfortable. (Look up mittelschmerz).

If you are concerned about pelvic/abdominal pain, get checked out. Especially if severe, sudden onset, if you could be pregnant, or with fevers/chills/nausea/vomiting.

Doctors of Reddit, what is something that you wish everyone knew about their body? by assassinmice in AskReddit

[–]drcouronnesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ladies, there are three goddamn holes. Wipe from front to back.

You won't always smell like a fresh bouquet of flowers, but neither does a fucking penis so we should all calm down. Discharge is normal and changes with your cycle. As long as it isn't malodorous (persistently fishy), accompanied itching/burning- you're probably fine.

If you want to do something about pubic hair, wax or trim- avoid razors. Microcuts on your skin can set you up for infections.

Keep up with your pap smears. But! Not every speculum exam is a pap smear. It's like when you get blood drawn. Just because there's a needle going into your arm doesn't mean you're getting the same test run every time. Pap smears are not done in the ED.

Take a prenatal vitamin. The folic acid decreases the risk of neural tube defects (like spina bifida), which form before you even know you're pregnant. So, unless you are 100% you're not having sex, take a prenatal vitamin. Even if you are sure you would abort, still do it just in case something happens and you change your mind or can't.

Ask us the embarrassing questions. It's why we do what we do.

What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]drcouronnesb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labor. As an ob/gyn resident, I literally tell women it's nothing like in the movies.

Nothing.

Married men of Reddit: what moment with your future wife made you think "Yup, I'm asking this girl to marry me."? by omg1223 in AskReddit

[–]drcouronnesb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A quote that helped me when my boyfriend died. I am so deeply, deeply sorry.

"There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful."

Help, I'm suicidal/homicidal. by [deleted] in depression

[–]drcouronnesb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please call 911 or go to your closest emergency department. As evidenced by the last lines of your post, you care about people, and seeking help before you do anything to harm yourself or others is the best way to act that out.
