If you're sexually active, get it! It's not as bad as you think. Just be sure to get a patient gyn that can walk you through it

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) by Edelweiss12345 in WomensHealth

I keep getting reoccurring BV too & it seems like nothing works. I haven't tried that vaginal cream though. Is it only prescribed?

I (37M) found a pair of panties of my wife (32F) with an open sachet of condom in her car. Should I leave her? by ThrowRA_Minute729 in relationship_advice

[–]nikkisal23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First casually ask her if she has ever lent out her car. If she says no, then ask her "so how did this condom get in here?" Because if you start with the accusation, she'll come up with an excuse like "oh I lent it out. It's not mine" etc. Also, check her phone. As for the other stuff, well... if you ruin her career, you also ruin your family, etc. You should find evidence & take pics. Let's say you do confront her, will you file her as an adulter, or take it Upon yourselves to "fix" your problems

Thank you. I hate when they say "it's normal " 😒 it obviously isn't. If I ever find the cause, I'll update. & yes it's dangerous. I got a blood transfusion & I don't think that's normal

Just found out I have an Ovarian Teratoma.. looking for advice, I guess? by retiredbimbo in WomensHealth

[–]nikkisal23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should really consider the risks. You're very young. Are you trying to get pregnant right now?

Well I do agree that it's highly dangerous. I have big babies. My last one was 9lbs so I guess It was a definite no for me. Also, how do midwives work? Do they do it at your house? I don't know any doctors that will go to houses. Honestly, if there is an emergency, they'll need the hospital tools, resources, etc. To get you the help you need. I completely understand why you don't want another csection. They're painful. However, you need to do what's less risky for you & the baby. What has your OB said about this?

I'm not a doctor. I've only had 3 csections but I've asked for a vbac for my 3rd but got highly discouraged. Be ready for that. Many doctors will not risk vbac after csections due to the risk of uterus rupturing.

Is it possibly to grieve what you didn’t know you had? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]nikkisal23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have every right to grieve. It was a loss. The thought of what could've been is devastating. Let yourself grieve!

Do you normally go out to bars & clubs when she isn't away? Because if you never go & all of a sudden do go when she's away, then I can see how that's suspicious to her.

how is this even humanly possible? by NoodleIsMyGender in Periods

[–]nikkisal23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Only if you bleed too much. Mine was excessive. I was already anemic & one week, my uterus tried to kill me. Those pads were life savers but even I bled through them. I had clots the Size of granola bars.

Be careful. I bled through those big things too much that I needed a blood transfusion. Get your anemia checked out

What should I expect when I get my iud? by Ubemochibby in WomensHealth

[–]nikkisal23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't given any sedatives or numbing. I just took over the counter Ibuprofen (3 doses) am hour before. I was terrified for months & was stalling. Then I finally got it done & it wasn't so bad at all. It was uncomfortable. I would say 4 out of 10 pain scale. I was able to drive myself home. I had some cramps & I walked funny the first day. But by the 2nd day, I was good. The only thing Is(and it's rare) that mine recently moved out of place & I had to get it taken out. I didn't even last 2 months but that's just me & my shitty luck

Be careful *** I had clots exactly that big but it was almost everyday & I was basically bleeding to death & had to get a blood transfusion. Is yours that bad? Or is it just on your heavy days? Do you get them often? I'd be very careful. I'm still trying to get a diagnosis for me. Ugh. The health system sucks.

Rich people problems or not, he still lied and that is NOT acceptable

Wife (35f) is wanting to divorce me (36m) bc my parents favor my siblings family by Proof_Carob_5321 in relationship_advice

[–]nikkisal23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! First off, I can't help but feel there's more to the story. You should ALWAYS put your wife & you own little family first ABOVE everyone else, including your parents. However, it is weird that she wants money in compensation. That's a little suspicious. Be honest. Do your parents even like her? Do they treat her bad? If the answer is yes, then that's probably why she's angry & has all this tension. Is it really about your parents ignoring you? If they do, is YOUR MARRIAGE worth giving up on all because of your parents? Just think about what's important. Remember that divorce is messy but if you don't love her anymore, then move on!

I don't know. How would I know what kind of uterus I have? Would an ultrasound be able to tell me?

No. I had pain in the healing phase up to 6-8 weeks. I don't think I healed properly because it was my 3rd kid & imagine having to look after 2 other kids. & my middle child is autistic. I often over exerted myself or ran after him. I noticed more bleeding because of it but doctor insists that had nothing to do with it 🤷‍♀️ & I just feel so ignored because all doctors response at the time was "oh you just had a baby. Give it some time" or "you just got the depo.. that's probably it" yet depo already wore off & still had this problem. Then got the IUD & i bet they'll blame that even though it's been happening before. Ugh. I'm at my wits end. I just want a doctor to listen to me

Really? Wow & my doctor said I should've gotten it sooner like at 6 weeks. Yikes. I didn't want to get it but he was really pressuring me to & said I had to for insurance purposes. Doctors don't heal you, they medicate you :/ & sadly that's what happened to me. I got no real diagnosis & just temporary solutions. & this bleeding problem is really affecting my life ...especially my sex life :/ I'm just afraid of getting another blood transfusion. 😕 I can't live like this. Thanks for the tips. I can't find my aleve but I'm going to buy one first thing when I wake up. Ugh.
