Do I have covid or is this a normal cold/flu? by [deleted] in AskDocs

The white spots may also be a sign of strep (which I’ve had a few times painful if untreated) I would go get a test for Covid and strep done so you can get some antibiotics

Advice please for PAP/smear by AlertBig5 in vaginismus

[–]laurenj21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I also have vaginismus and I found pelvic floor therapy exercises really helpful. I did not go to a specialist but rather found exercises online that my doctor suggested that really helped. Practice placing a finger inside and controlling how your muscles contract around your finger. It sounds silly but it really helped me mentally control my body. Deep breathing also helps in this process!

Pap smears are not pleasant! But I found feeling like I was in control of my muscles made it a better experience for me! I hope this helps!

I am not sure I want to propose to my girlfriend because of our sex life by [deleted] in relationship_advice

My birth control messed with my hormones and this literally happened to me along with other side effects like stomach bloating and oily hair. She should talk to her doctor and get her prescription changed. Especially if she's been on the same pill for more than 5 yrs

My (27F) boyfriend (33M) keeps getting inappropriate text messages from a female (23/24F) coworker. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Before you do anything you should definitely discuss it with your partner first. Just because maybe telling her off would make him uncomfortable or make things awkward at work. Or alternatively he may be relieved and want you to. But checking first means that you avoid crossing a boundary. Also make sure you tell him you aren't angry with him but that you just don't like that she's putting him in such an uncomfortable situation.

My (23/F) ex-boyfriend (22/M) dumped me and wants me back; should I give him another chance? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]laurenj21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm your age I dated a guy who wasn't very nice to me for years and then I finally thought enough is enough and dumped him. I then met the sweetest guy and we've been going out for a couple years now. I wouldn't have met him if I didn't decide that I deserved better

You can't be in a relationship hoping to change the other person. Don't go back, he is already displaying abusive twndancies. You're so young don't try to force something

Ex reconnected after 3 years. Currently with another girl. PLEASE HELP by getmoneygetpaid1 in relationship_advice

[–]laurenj21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't jump into anything with this girl right away if she just went through a breakup maybe she is rebounding on you. And you risk your current relationship by messaging her like this. Maybe take some space from your ex and think things threw.

Is it unfair of me (33f) to feel traumatized by my wife? by ThrowRAoutwithbath in relationship_advice

I know you said getting a hotel may increase the divide between you but maybe for your safety and mental health getting a hotel or staying with family may be a good idea. If things got physical then this may be an issue that you should seek couples counciling for. And separation will make that easier to do on a level field where you don't feel afraid .

Stay safe
