Question 1

i think i have a hymenal tag.  is it ok to have?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's just character, harmless.

Question 2

i was wondering is a hymenal tag something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: The hymenal ring is the remnants of the hymen.  This is broken down during intercourse.  Remnants of the ring look like skin tags and  are usually nothing more than a landmark for gynecologists.  They usually don't cause any problems.  If they are unusually large, they can cause problems with intercourse and can be surgically removed.  Best wishes!

Question 3

i have tissue protruding from my vaginal opening. i thought it was a hymenal tag but it is a loop-like structure and protrudes in a u shaped fashion. ive had it since i was very little. it sits at the bottom of the opening?

Accepted Answer

: See your gynecologist for a differential diagnosis. Good Luck

Question 4

i noticed something hanging out of my vagina. it looked identical to a tampon string. i pulled on it but it was actually my skin. i got scared and tried googling. could it be a hymenal tag? is this normal? theres no pain. do i need to go to doctor?

Accepted Answer

: A tiny piece of skin  coming out of a vagina that is virginal and has never had any objects inserted  can be a few things ,skin or a parasite like a pinworm ( which usually itches ) if a person used a tampon it can be the string from a tamopon

Question 5

hi! is there anyway i can have a doctor break my hymen without pain (using some local anesthesia)? i'm a very scared person. thanks

Accepted Answer

Hymen: Sure - this is not uncommon. This is usually done by the OB/GYN

Question 6

if nothing--sex, etc.--has torn the hymen around introitus, then how is it that the dr. had to stitch it up during the exam under anesthesia?  he stitched it up after he hit it with the speculum.

Accepted Answer

Exam under anesthesi: In order to do an examination of the vagina, uterus, etc, your doctor would have had to stretch the hymen (if still intact) to allow visualization of the upper vagina and cervix. If this caused a tear at the hymen, which is likely, she/he would have sutured that to stop any bleeding. Usually such bleeding will be slight and will stop by itself, but sometimes it may take a stitch to stop it.

Question 7

what is the use of tagamet (cimetidine)?

Accepted Answer

Reduces stomach acid: Tagamet ( cimetidine) reduces production of stomach acid through blocking h2 receptors on the gastric parietal cell. This helps reduce aid indigestion / heartburn and can help heal erosions of the lining of either the esophagus or stomach. The h2 blockers are not as potent as the proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole.

Question 8

can you tell me about tagamet 300 (cimetidine)?

Accepted Answer

Stomach acid reducer: Tagamet (cimetidine) is one of the older drugs used for stomach and duodenal ulcers. Before tagamet (cimetidine) persons on occasion had to have part of their stomach surgically removed to treat ulcers. Tagamet (cimetidine) significantly reduced stomach acid production allowing the ulcer to heal. It is not quite as strong for a better word as say Prilosec which blocks all acid production but at a low cost tagamet (cimetidine) 300 may be just fine.

Question 9

can you tell me about taking tagamet 300 (cimetidine)?

Accepted Answer

An old acid blocker: Tagamet (cimetidine), Zantac (ranitidine), Pepcid (famotidine) are H2-receptor blockers, introduced by prescription in late 70's/early 80's. All reduce acid production dose-dependently, &amp; promote drug tolerance (requiring increasing doses of drug to block increasing # of receptors with chronic use). OTC dosing is a fraction of original prescription doses. Similar side effects, efficacy, duration.

Question 10

please advise if it's okay to split tagamet 300 (cimetidine) in half?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is OK to split a Tagamet asplit a Tagamet tablet.
