Question 2

Accepted Answer

: Compulsion to eat ice is often associated with iron deficiency. Talk to your doctor. It would be safe to take oral iron supplement and multivitamins. 
If you are done with child bearing, your doctor can prescribe a pill that can limit your period to once a year. It will also prevent iron deficiency by limiting menstrual blood loss.

Question 3

is eating ice-cream bad during periods?

Accepted Answer

No: Issues with ice cream during your cycle

Question 4

spotting lately on & off !! eatting lots of ice lately !! not being hungry tired some of the time . 2 period in december & i was intimate. help me ?

Accepted Answer

Blood test: Eating ice in women is often associated with iron deficiency anemia. You may see your doctor for a blood test. You could take oral iron supplement available over the counter. If you intend to be pregnant, take pre-natal vitamins. If you do not want to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time.

Question 5

can putting an ice cube in your vagina delay your period ?

Accepted Answer

Ouch-that is cold..: Your menstrual cycle is regulated hormonally and nutritional/physical/healthy status can influence it--i.E professional runner/gymnasts often have irregular/infrequent periods because they train so hard/long and have low body fat.  Medication use, acute illness can also alter your menstrual cycles, but i sincerely doubt that putting ice in there would do it--it may give a frostbite. Good luck.

Question 6

ihave these ice pick headaches my glands are swollen&hurts when i swallow haven't had a period for about 4months i'm always tiredget short of breath?

Accepted Answer

Ouch : You need to be evaluated.  You may have serious medical issues that could be detrimental to your health.  Please see your clinician.

Question 7

there is a chinese tradition that you cannot ''eat ice cream during your period." is there any science behind this?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps...: I am not aware of any scientific recommendation to avoid ice-cream during your period.  But maybe you have just explained why the Chinese are usually thin!  Women tend to crave chocolate, sweets and fatty foods during their periods and can put on weight during this time so knowing this and avoiding it could be helpful.  Best wishes!

Question 8

i had 3 6oz glasses of wine on ice over a 4 hour period and took an etg test 36 hours later with a 500 cut off. would i pass?

Accepted Answer

Most likely yes: The metabolism of alcohol is fairly straightforward and follows a pattern of zero order kinetics which means it disappears at a steady state over time.

Question 9

i am 10 days late on my period and i usually have monthly periods, but i have been drinking a lot of ice coffee could that be the reason why i am late?

Accepted Answer

I don't think: coffee and late periods are related. Check  a pregnancy test and make sure you are not pregnant, assuming you are sexually active

Question 10

how long does it usually take for a bruise to heal? what can i do to avoid aggravating it and speed healing beyond the initial put-ice-on-it period?

Accepted Answer

Not Too Complicated: If you were mugged by five large thugs in an alley in South Central, it could take weeks. If you bumped your forearm on the door knob to a dressing room in Macy's, maybe a week. So, if it's sore, decrease use to that area 'till it feels better. If it's swollen, elevate it if you can. Tylenol (acetaminophen). And time. Not too complicated unless it gets worse for some reason, then get it looked at.
