Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you feel something abnormal when you are doing you a self check then schedule a visit with an Obgyn and show them what you feel. Then they can repeat the examination to make sure all is normal

Question 3

large vein going through my left areola & it slightly makes my nipple look diffent than the other, not painful, no swelling, no lumps i have the iud so im not sure what it is but kinda freaking out, sign of cancer?

Accepted Answer

: This vein may have weak valves accounting for its size. It doesn't appear that you have any other breast pathology, but a breast surgeon can examine &amp; reassure you. There are a few methods of removing such a vein if you wish to.

Question 4

i had unprotected sex 4 months ago and i have an iud i took 2 home pregnancy tests 2 weeks ago and both came out negative but now in my lower abdomen their are lumps and slight stiffness i have also been constipated what is wrong with me ?

Accepted Answer

Constipated: Most likely nothing is wrong. The lumps you are feeling may be stool in the colon - try increasing you fluids and over the counter fiber or stool softener.  If you’re still feeling lumps after a few normal bowel movements or any abdominal pain, follow up with your doctor. Best wishes

Question 5

i have a painful lump on my outer labia where the fordyce spots are. it looks like it may have a head. it started around the time i should've gotten my period (i am on iud). doctors aren't available until november. what can i do in the meantime?

Accepted Answer

: This sounds like an infection of a kin gland or cyst. Try using warm compesses for a few days. If the area becomes hot or red or cyou have fever pl go to urgent care. Hope you feel better

Question 6

do iuds have similar side effects to the pill? i.e. decreased libido?

Accepted Answer

Only hormonal IUD's: Only hormonal IUD's may decrease libido.; The non hormonal IUD's do not.

Question 7

33 f healthy pea size lump left side on back near spine . dr checked it 2 mos ago and again and said ok.. should i get 2nd opinion ?

Accepted Answer

Sounds benign: This is not a typical location for bad things and it does not appear to be enlarging so i think your doc is probably correct.  Sounds like it might be lipoma. Maybe this has been there for many years.

Question 8

im going to get it checked out on tuesday but being that i have this painless moveable lump on my left side  of neck for months now can it be cancer?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: A lump that is less than 1 cm and is very mobile and has not changed in size is not likely to be cancerous.  If it is stuck down or getting larger then there is more of a possibility.  Keep your appointment to have it checked.

Question 9

my lower stomach was cramping and when i felt it there was a hard lump on my left side and a few hours later i checked again, and it moved to the right side should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: What you described suggests movement of gas in the intestine and is a normal phenomenon. If you have additional symptoms, it may warrant seeing a doctor.

Question 10

about 10 yrs ago i was at my brothers and tripped over a garage step and hit my head hard, could that be the reason why im getting constant headaches today?or is it cause of a lump i have on top of the left side of my forehead? im getting it checked?

Accepted Answer

: 10 years is a rather long time but dose not exclude a contained sub-dural bleed that can be the cause of the headache. Also the fall may have aggravated your upper cervical spine causing headaches as well. The bump that you have should cause localized headache. I am glad that you are getting this checked out
