Embarrassing Illnesses

I started my Period on my dads birthday. My mum told me it was when she got pregnant with me 13 years ago. Is this just a coinsidence? x

hi ive had the 12 week injection to stop me getting pregnant and ive been bleeding every day apart for 1 week and the 12 weeks has past and im still on my period whats wrong with me ive also noticed a small pea sized ball lump on my vagina whas this is it vulva cancer please help

i am on the combined pill and have been for about 3 months but i havnt been having a break. durning the last week of my pill i come on and have been on for about 8 days now and i am very heavy sometimes with clotting, is this right? im begining to get worried.

Hi there, since I started my periods they have always been very irregular and extremely painful. Ive been on practically every pill and ive had the injection and the coil and the implant none of these have worked and the pills actually made it worse.
My doctors are clueless about whats wrong with me and are wanting to completely shut down my overies to try and restart everything because they believe i have an imbalance in my hormones.
I have increased hair growth, weight gain, mood swings and i sometimes get quite bad hot flushes all times of the day. Im desperate for help and even if i could find the name of what i have so i can find a doctor who can help me id been more than grateful, it would really change my life.
Thankyou

I am 32 and i have suffered with irregular periods since i was 15, i could miss for 6 months at a time, i was never worried about it until the time i was sexually active, at which point, i started to worry bout being pregnant (luckily never happened). I have never had heavy periods, although for the last two years they have either been heavier than normal or i just spot. I have seen my doctor and she suggested it could be poly-cystic ovarian syndrome as my testosterone levels were raised, but when i went for the scan it was negative for PCOS. Could it still be this or is there anything else that could be causing it.

Hello, I am 25yrs old and I have always had irregluar, heavy and very painful periods. I have had two children and the births were only two hrs and 15mins and the second child was two hrs and thirty mins long I would like to to know if there is anything that I should worry about as my periods are coming every two weeks in the past six weeks I have been to my G.P. and she has put me on Mefenamic Acid 500mg but it does not stop the pain nor the bleeding it does reduce the blood flow. Can you help. Thank you C.C.

do you have to wear a tampon when you go swimming ?

hey ive been on the pill since i was 16 and im 19 now but for the last 6 months i went onto yasmin but because of my routine i could never get the time to get down to the doctors to get my pill so i stopped taking it and it has been about 6/7 months now and i havent had a period at all ive taken countless pregnancy tests all showing negative and havent had any spotting or anything=( this it really worrying me and my hormones are everywere because of it i constantly feel asif im constipated and get pains sometimes if i knew this was going to happen i would of never went on the pill. ive been to my doctors to see the nurse practitioner to try and get me back on the pill to make me get back into a routine but it keeps constantly being delayed as she wants to keep testing that im not pregnant even though im not ive tested a billion times myself i have an appointment tomorrow with a doctor hopefully some positive news. id never thought id want to come on so much x

Hi,
I'm 15 and whenever i do any exercise even when i'm not on my period i get bad period pains and it's really painful when i am on my period, it's even caused me to start as i always get bad pains when i am about to start. People say that exercise makes it less painful but for me it makes it worse, is this normal?
