meggs's Advice
Excuse me mr_smedheader ... I am a doctor, are you? why don't you do your research. Meg
Well, don't go diagnosing yourself... that just makes things worse. First off, if you can accept what people are saying (you are skinny) - you do not have anorexia. You just have the typical teenage girl body image.
Oh gosh yes!!! Most often, they are gotten from wiping back to front, tight underwear. It is not considered a sexually transmitted disease at all. It is just bacteria.
This is normal. You period "blood" is not actually all blood. It has nutrients and proteins etc. This brown discharge is just the first layer of your period - which is stacked full of nutrients, which makes it brown. Leg cramps and bloating are 100% no...
I do not care what anyone else thinks or says to you. No, you are not old enough to make that decision yet. You have not had enough life experience to be responsible enough to have sex. So, don't do it.
it depends. If your partner knows how to properly do it, no. If your partner doesn't - it will. There is a sphincter muscle in your anus that pushes things out, not in.
This could also be not a yeast infection. There are some STD's that act like a yeast infection. You need to see your doctor immediately
no - your vagina cleans itself out on a regular basis ... there are never "warnings" about it being your last one. A thinck discharge is more likely to mean an infection. You should probably consult your doctor.
A urinanry tract infection is nothing to be worried about. Not everyone with a UTI has symptoms, but most people get at least some symptoms. These may include a frequent urge to urinate and a painful, burning feeling in the area of the bladder or ureth...
Thats life, my suggestions is - suck it up and do your homework.
no - that is not implantation bleeding. That is called spotting. It is because you lost a level of horomone. When you go off the pill for that week, you have a period. You went off for a few days ... that was bleeding like a period.
That is your hymen, and it is a thin tissue membrane in your vagina near the very top.
get a new system. It is not the disc, it is the scanning laser in the machine.
a fetus is considered a life when it reaches the age of viability. This is around 22-25 weeks. This just means when the baby is able to live outside the womb. Before 23 weeks, it would die because it is not developed enough. Meg
shampoo every second day and condition every day. Shampooing everyday can actually damage your hair.
Me being in the medical field, I believe that you have what we call "medical student syndrome" ... this is when you see a list of symptoms, it magnifies your symptoms so that it "fits" ... you may be going through a minor depression, but nearly 100% of...
You need to go to your doctor and give a history for them to know. They will ask: 1)did you have unprotected sex in the last month 2)do you know his sexual history anyway, without knowing anything - I would say you need to have an internal exam an...
I agree, tell him everything you just said on this forum. Or ditch him - guys are not that important when your a teen.
You are not alone, and yea it is sad. These guys are doing it to fit in. He is trying to act cool by saying he was hung over for three days. Unless he has chronic liver failure, that is medically impossible. I am a doctor in Canada. Your liver and kidn...
You do not need to prove to anyone that you are cool. I know this means nothing to you, but I was there once. I was bullies very bad as a teen. I was stabbed in the stomach and almost failed school because I was so scared. I would leave for school in t...
Hi there, I am a Doctor in Canada. While on Depo-provera, you are NOT supposed to have a period. The horomones are in your body constantly, unlike the pill which you have a week long break to have a period. Depo is very effective, about 99.7%. Befor...
A rape fantasy is a very common fantasy. You are 14, it is normal for you to be curious about sex. Reading about it and thinking about it is healthy. But having sex right now for you is irresponsable. Ultimately, you do not know what you are getting in...
Hey there, Long distance is hard - I know. Being in medicine, I don't get to see my man through the year very much. Here's one way of looking at it. You miss him - a lot. But missing him this much is a good thing. It shows you how much you really need...
Hey there, First of all, make sure you are telling him you love him for the right reasons. If you are saying it, just to hear it back - that is bad. You need to act independantly of his feelings. When your cuddling, watching a movie - just say his n...
Hi there, most women go through a phase when they feel so insecure about their relationships with men that they think they might be more comfortable with women. They call it a break-up, because it is broken. Throw it away, and get a new one! Bi-se...
Hey there. Go nuts! Masturbation is a very healthy way of dealing with innner physical desires without emotion behind it. Fantasies are normal and healthy - but to a degree. My advice to you is stick to making out with him, but draw the line at the bel...
Hi there, I am a doctor in Canada and my first advice to you is the most responsable - see a physician. You say you are not in that position, may I ask why? You can private message me. If you do not plan on replying here is my second advice. I girls...
In agreeance with olga, you are very much too young to be involving yourself that close with your boyfriend. A person (regardless of age) should never move in with someone, unless it is a relative, if there is any type of dependancy. You would be depen...
Hi there. I am a Doctor in Canada. Yeast infections can cause a rash, however, some STD's mimic the symptoms of a yeast infection as well as cause rashes. I would have your physician do an internal exam as well as a pathogen swab of your cervix. Al...
Hey - if this girl makes you happy, then go for it, but here are a few things to keep in mind. - there is so much that a person can experince between 13 and 15. Socially, intellectually, sexually and emotionally - neither of you are on the same level....
As a medical student, the suggestion I have is to see your physician. Pregnancy can chage a lot of horomones and chemicals in your body. These could be simply moles or they could be an infection. Either way you need to know.
The above is not entirely true. You can get Herpes alone. Many people in the population have Herpes Simplex 1 on their lips (cold sore). If you have an open sore and scratch it or pick at it and then soon after touch yourself or masturbate, you can tra...
Hi there, I am a doctor and it is normal for a girl to miss periods especially if you are young. Your body sees your reproductive tract as a "not necessary" action. This means, instead of putting its energy into readying itself to be pregnant, it wi...
Hi There, Please disregard brentblack's comment, he is somewhat of a troublemaker. It does not hurt a lot of girls these days. Because of gymnastics and sports, your hymen can get torn very easily while you are sill a child. The only reason sex trad...
Wow - I am very strongly opinionated and I don't think you want to hear this but. You are too young to even think about raising this child. You do not have a life of your own yet! You can not even think about keeping this child. I agree that abortion i...
if it does - no big worry. Just insert your finger, hook it and bring it out. If your finger isn't long enough, get him to do it. It happens a lot. If your man has already got to the point of ejaculation, the chances are that the condom is still on. If...
Hi there, I am a medical intern and noticed your post. first of all you need to see a physician NOW. Do not wait because STI's (most of them) can have permanent damage even if they are curable. Your doctor willtake a swab of your penis. This is done...
Change for yourself only! People will know if you change for them, and will learn to disrespect you in the end.
jealousy will make a guy do anything. There are so many sayings that come into play here... 1) People want what they can't have. - You are suddenly off the list which makes you a challeneg, or a trophy. If he can get you back around his finger, his co...
I am somewhat of an "ol' fashioned" person. I believe that a man should be the one to propose, just because it is tradiotional. I love the man and woman roles, and although there are many modern female traits I take on, I am opposed to asking for his h...
Thank you very much for your advice. I feel like I do want to ask him what he sees for us. Whether marriage is something he actively wants vs "will do if necessary".
Dear Sadaf, I understand the implications of your culture. More often than not, they will check your hymen before you get married and if it is not intact, you could loose your right to get married. I am going into medicine and feel that the best way f...
when I orgasm I feel an extreme tingle and a need to go deeper. if you want to try this, it is a sure fire never fail for me. Have your guy half sit up and half lay against your headboard (with pillows behind him). Straddle him and hold onto the head...
yea - I agree... the worst thing he'll do is joke his way around the topic. It is just hard to be taken serious when I am so young... he is 7 years older than me... I guess what I am really asking is how to I let him know I am serious - regardless of age.
reply - dawn69 I'll be done my first degree in two years
