I am 21, do I need a Pap smear test?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Lately I have been having weird discharge and I’m worried. At first my discharge changed to being heavy and watery with a weird odor then just dry and uncomfortable meaning I stopped having a discharge. Now it heavy once again with the same odor. I did go to a doctor yesterday and was offered a Pap smear exam but because of my fears and backed out. Initially I believed I had a yeast infection so that’s what I told the doctor and because I didn’t want to do the Pap smear he just decided to give me a one dose medication for a yeast infection. However today I’m not so sure I made the right decision. I have noticed a change in my discharge since taking the pill, however when I went to the bathroom and wiped a noticed a brown streak in my discharge. I immediately start to panic and reading up on YouTube only increased my fears. I am honestly worried sick.. to the point of breaking down. I need some advice before i approach my sister. P.S My period started 14 days ago (last for 7 days). Also, noticed that I barely ever get aroused and when I do I don’t get “wet”. 21 year old virgin. I would have mentioned a lot of these things to my doctor but he was so fast paced, somewhat in a hurry that I forgot. Help me.

I have a history of light PCOS and recently have been diagnosed with a 21 mm Sub serosal Myoma?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I’m a 32 years old woman who has history of light PCOS and recently have been diagnosed with a 21 mm Sub serosal Myoma. I have been having serious pain around uterus area on and off and it becomes very serious on my periods. Recently I have taken Epimedium pills and that gets me even worse and I bleed after taking that. What do you suggest ? Should I stop taking Epimedium? I have hard time finding any helpful information on Epimedium known as Horny Goat Weed which has helped me with my sex life but otherwise have negative effects on me.

Thank you very much

I take clozaril, is it dangerous to have MAC anesthesia in combination with this medication?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hello!! I have a question about anesthesia. I need to get surgery on my foot to cut down a bump on a bone. The doctor said it’s only going to be a fifty minute procedure and I will be able to leave the hospital the same day. I take the medication clozaril for a sleep problem (even though it is normally prescribed for schizophrenia), and I was just wondering if it is dangerous to have MAC anesthesia in combination with this medication. Is it better to use a certain anesthetic than others when in combination with it? I was told by my doctor that I just shouldn’t take it the morning of the operation but I just wanted to get a second opinion because I have never had surgery before and am a bit nervous about it. I am 41 years old, female, weigh 135 pounds, am 5’7, and clozaril (200 mg a day) is the only medication I take. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

I am having some symptoms that are beginning to worry me. I have been fatigued more so than ever before, there is blood in my urine, I have lower back pains, as well as nausea when I eat anything except bread and crackers. I have started having some severe migraines, as well as just headaches, every day. On top of all of that, I have had swelling in my feet and ankles. This has been going on for about 3 weeks.

I received a chest x-ray, chest CT scan with contrast dye and an MRI would these tests show breast cancer?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi. I am a 41 year old woman.
Last year I was hospitalised with a severe bacterial infection. I received a chest x-ray, chest CT scan with contrast dye and an MRI. I also had a follow up chest CT scan with dye a few months after leaving hospital. This was September 2016.

My question is, would these tests show breast cancer, and secondly, would it be risky to have a mammogram so soon after these tests that use radiation .
Thanks.

Creatinine is 1.1 and my TSH is 6.18 does this indicate a thyroid problem?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Just received my bloodwork test results. My BUN is 25 , my Creatinine is 1.1 and my TSH is 6.18. I’m taking 50 mcg of Levothyroxine. Does this indicate a thyroid problem or something wrong with my kidney. Last year everything was normal and I’ve been taking Levothyroxin for around 8 years. Does my dose simply need to be increased or am I in big trouble..

My daughter, 17, is suffering from; leg muscle cramps?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

We are frustrated, in and out of doctors offices for 3 months now. My daughter, 17, is suffering from; leg muscle cramps (12 months plus, relieved with iron, doctor told us to take her off the iron because of nausea, now the cramps are back, immediately after stopping iron), daily outbreaks of hives, diarrhea, nausea with vomiting, low grade fever, and, a new symptom, heartburn. She must have given over a quart of blood for tests so far. All the Doctors tell us is that the blood work was fine, and leave it at that. Her white cell count has been high, a couple of times. She has been treated with antibiotics, iron supplements and calcium supplements. In fact, when the vomiting and diarrhea started, we were told, “It probably isn’t even related.” even though these were symptoms they seem to really be concerned about at first, almost relieved when we told them no. The nausea has always been there, with occasional vomiting, the frequent vomiting is a new development.

A blood level dhowed that there was naltrexone in the blood and this is two months after i took it
I took the test after sufferering from severe sweatiness my skin feeling itchy and burning urination
I know i had a sensitivity to it when i took it and i think the metabolite is sticking to my intestines and getting reabsorbed. I took it for crohns and this was the worst thing i ever did. It is affecting hormone level negatively.
Anyone know of any medicine that can pull this out of my system your advice is greatly appreciated

It says no groupings, no increased nuclei , no moth eaten fibers, occasional atrophic fibers . No degenerating or regenerating fibers seen.
