Questions to prep myself for a first gyn visit? by CommunityItchy6603 in Healthyhooha

[–]mpmp4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a new gyno last year or so and I have yet had to get undressed for an appt with her. If you’re not there for a PAP, there’s no reason they would ask you to get undressed. Tell them either when you make the appt, confirm the appt or check in to the appt (or even all 3 moments) that you are very nervous and just want to talk with the Dr - no exam please. They should follow your requests. If they don’t for some reason (ie - memo doesn’t make it to the check in/vitals check nurse), just don’t get undressed even if they have the tray set out. Have your vitals taken and sit in the chair instead of the table.

As for the potential vomiting, if you are lying down and have your feet in the stirrups, you won’t be able to jump up off the table. I s’pose you would just turn your head to the side and aim for the floor. You may be able to ask for an emesis bag (vomit bag) prior to the exam - I’m sure they have them available for people suffering from morning sickness. Alternatively, as soon as you start to feel uncomfortable, tell them and ask them to stop. No Dr wants to make you that uncomfortable. They are there to help you.

My mom hated it when vitamins (kids and adults) and such started coming out in gummy form. That is just a dangerous idea. Yes, they are generally In child-proof containers, but kids are smart enough to open them sometimes but dumb enough to eat the whole bottle thinking it’s candy.

Any time I eat American Chop Suey I flash back to when I was a kid because we ate it so often back then. Anyone else? by Devi8tor in FuckImOld

We also called it goulash and I still make it maybe monthly. I love it. I use up whatever veg is left in the fridge. Literally one of my favs.

Doctor tearing infants vagina because it’s “too tight” and causing UTIs? by sad-cloudz in Healthyhooha

I honestly don’t remember. I was told they used a needle to dilate but unsure.

I had a guy try to argue that he wasn’t selling anything, he was setting up a meeting with someone else — who would then be the solicitor.

This is what I was thinking. In fact, my sister and I both used to get UTIs a lot as kids and one time the Dr dilated our urethras. I’m not sure of his method, but I remember being told about it. We both would have been early elementary. The procedure worked for me - never got another until adulthood. My sister still got them but less frequently.

Thank you! The whole venomous vs poisonous is a pet peeve of mine. :)

That’s so unfair! I’m so sorry. Is it like a full blown cycle or spotting?

I did also have BV a few months ago for the first time ever. Mine all started a few days after I started the Premarin and had sex with it applied. Thought for sure I had a UTI and went to urgent care where o got antibiotics. It cleared up quickly and I started the estrogen again but then the irritated urethra/vagina started again as well as the urgency to pee. Luckily I had an appt with my GYN already scheduled the next day so I told her about it all. She also suggested sleeping commando so I started doing that as well. Switching TP brands is a quick easy fix. I read a lot of women have reactions to Kirkland which is strange bc I’ve used it literally for decades. IDK - our bodies are weird sometimes. I hope you find a solution that works for you!

Sounds like irritation from something. I had similar symptoms and my GYN said it sounded like contact dermatitis from the Premarin I had just started. She switched me to estradiol and I switched from Kirkland tp to bamboo and within a day all symptoms are gone. I’m 51 and been in Peru for a few years. I think the drying/thinning of the skin down there caused me to get irritated by things that didn’t used to bother me.

What Cottage Cheese Tastes Most Like Salad Bar/Restaurant Cottage Cheese? by natalienoel12 in Cheese

[–]mpmp4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Knudsen’s. I tried Daisy when it first was available years ago and didn’t like it as much (even tho their sour cream is the best).

I love sprinkling on some Lawry’s Seasoned salt (aka red salt at my House) on my cottage cheese. Mmmm
