Well my freind is throwing a pool party on Thursday night, started my period today, and it will last through the week. Can I use a tampon to go swimming? Will it absorb any water?
Answer:
Of coarse you can use a tampon to go swimming... you'll feel like if you don't even have your period with it on... I don't really think its absorbing water since it'll be inside you absorbing blood, and you don't have to worry about it slipping out or anything... just remember to change it every four hours to prevent leakage or infection! Have fun =]
Yes you can were a tampon for swimming they can stay in for upp to 8 hours! and stay in side the vagina so no water is absorbed go to www.beinggirl.co.uk for more info - have a nice pool party at your friends!
yes u can u a tampon for swimming i do and no it won't absorb any water hopefully you won't be that heavy but u should be fine .
You can definitely swim with a tampon in and no it won't absorb the water. Just make sure to get the correct absorbency (light, regular, heavy, super heavy, etc). It's important to get the correct one, for example if you have a light flow you don't want to use the super tampons). Have fun at your party!
Tampons are for swimming and physical activity so yes you can use it while swimming.
It won't absorb water it will absorb menstrual flow.
Yes, you can use a tampon. I wouldn't think it would absorb any water. I've always stayed away from pools during my monthly so I would not know about that.
wear a tampon it lasts for 8 hours. if you wear a pad it will get puffy and their would be blood in the pool
yes you can use a tampon for swimming tampons are for swimming and being active like doing a sport etc. it won't absorb in the water.

Im in so much pain?
my bladder[i think its my bladder] is in so much pain it hurts to walk...i have a bladder infection took my pills on time but idon't no what to do about this pain.Got any ideas?
Answer:
cranberry juice does not get rid of the infection it prevents it so it is too late for that.
try laying down. can you take ibuprofen with your meds? if so then take some. also try putting a heating pad or a warm washcloth on that area it helps some. if it doesnt feel better in 45min then go to the ER. sorry i couldnt help you any more. i hope you feel better soon.
go to the ER.
Yes, there is an over-the-counter product...I think it is called Urostat. You use it short-term, usually the first couple of days of a urinary tract infection. It relieves the bladder pain, and you will notice it turns your urine orange. Your doctor may be able to prescribe the same thing for you.
And, drink plenty of water...but you know that.
drink cranberry juice it will help get rid of the infection faster. For the pain, motrin will help the best unless you have a prescription for a pain medicine. Also, i use a heating pad it always helps me..goodluck sweetie
There is amedicine called uristat. Take it for the pain! It helps alot!!! Make sure you eat before you take the pills though. First time I took them on an empty stomach and wound up throwing up all this red stuff. I totally freaked out and rushed to the hospital. It will turn you urine a orange/red color, so dont be alarmed.
Go to the doctor if you haven't already. The infection could go to your kidneys, if it hasn't already started. They will prescribe norfloxacin or another antibiotic and a pain killer specifically for UTI's. Don't worry if your urine is orange on this med.
You can get Azo OTC...but it may not be strong enough, so you'll have to ask your doctor for prescription strength Azo. In addition, you need to get another urine test after you finish the antibiotics to make sure that all the bacteria is gone. If it isn't, you'll have to start another antibiotic. If you still have pain, there is a major problem. You need to get back to the doctor for the urine test, and then additional testing like an abdominal CT to check for inflammation.
go to doctors
I have been in major pain to for days, only I have
endometriosis, check it out to make sure you don't have
the symptoms.
Tell that to the drs in the ER. Don't wait because it could be something else.
Don't try to diagnose yourself, see a doctor.
If you have a bladder infection you want to ensure that you clear it up completely.
As others have said, Cranberry Juice can be very useful in clearing up a bladder infection, however, talk to the doctor about this condition.
get a wheelchair or crutches and call in sick to work. maybe take some tylenol or another painkiller if your doctor says it is okay. but you should definately tell ur doctor about the pain cause it could be a side effect or a reaction.
feel better.

I'm in pain soooo bad!!!!?
I am 13 years old,and I have REALLY REALLY bad cramps! I tried everything! What should I do???? Its killin me!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Have you started your period yet? If you have and its either that, or If your period havent stopped and you have really killer cramps, it could be endometriosis. Go to a Dr and she/he will find out whats wrong. If nothing's wrong just slow down the caffine drinks and drink more milk, and take a warm bath.
from my observation i would suggest a heating pad and some type of pain reliever. however any of the esteemed ladies that often answer questions might have a better perspective.
I ended up having to get on birth control because my cramps got so bad I'd throw up! Other than that, a heating pad works great and taking ibuprofen.
you should have your parents take you to the dr.if there menstrral they can give you meds to help or sometimes constipation is very bad cramps good luck
Going on birth control (Pills) works . My niece was placed on them during her teens because she had painful periods and it help. Speak to your mom

I'm honestly curious...and not trying to be weird?
What do strippers do when they have their periods, especially at fully nude clubs? Do they have to take a few days off or something? Would they just wear tampons and hide the string? I know there are health requirements concerning STI's, but are there some for menstruation?
Answer:
They either use a tampon or something called cup (like a diaphragm) if its available in the country
They wear tampons and hide the string. A lady's got to do what a lady's got to do. You know?
I really don't know but when you find out let me no
I believe they use a tampon and hide the string.
i think that they us a tampon and hige the string
Ok using tampons i guess not all tampons have strings either, but you can sort of push the sting inside a bit so you can still grab it

I'm having vaginal problems, have any advice?
Well after having three pregnancies I've noticed everything around my vaginal area seems out of place. It just feels different down there, like everything is starting to get loose and start to fall south. Also I've developed some vaginal skin tags. I'm thinking of seeing my doctor to get advice. But a different doctor I saw about this after my first pregnancy, just said it was normal and all I could do was kegels exercises and possibly have the skin tags removed. But mostly I just had to deal with the new changes. I'm to the point now that I don't want to deal with it anymore and it's getting worse. A friend suggested that a holistic chiropractor may be able to set my uterus back in place and that it may help. I was wondering what others thought and if anyone has any ideas or suggestions?
Answer:
After 5 pregnancies I thought I had the Grand Canyon down there!! LOL
I actually have done and still do the Kegel exercises. It is squeezing the vaginal muscles- as if you were holding in a poop. Do them 10 to 15 times at least 3 times a day.
Strengthening your stomach muscles is also very important because they help hold every thing in place- including your pelvic bones. If your pelvis shifts thats one way you get lower back problems.
The skin tags can be removed by your doctor. I have them also %26 removed them myself. Freeze with an ice cube, snip off with clean,sharp nail scissors and put antibiotic ointment over them. Not for the squeamish!
quit ******* so much lol just kidding I have no idea
i think kegals are all you can do...after three kids, can you expect to be as tight as you once were? Just deal with it, and understand what came out of it.your 3 kids
you need to do some tightening excesses and keep doing them it will be fun for you both so start straight away. Keep squeezing
It is the only thing that can fix this problem.
I only had one kid and everything feels different. Not to be gross but my tampons fall out at times! We are trying for another baby and I told hubby that I was going to ask for a couple extra stitches this time...LOL! Never hurts to ask =)
your uterus falls out because of bad posture so id suck it in bebe
I think you should see a doctor and have surgery. Also, don't have any more kids. Use protection (condoms, pills, diaphrams, etc..) And try to do those exercises, i forgot what they're called. You can either use you finger or a tampon to do them.
wow. I'm glad I don't have kids.
I would recommend looking into Vaginal Rejuvenation.

Im having trouble sleeping?
plzz give me advice on to fall asleep easily!
Answer:
ambien and lunesta have both worked for me during menopause when I had insomnia. I took them for a year , and to get off them, I didn't sleep much for two nites, but then stating sleeping again. Also, my doc said,If you can't sleep, get up and do somthing till you feel sleepy, clean, read,whatever. I also sleep with the sound of a fan blowing and do deep breathing. Thinking about things that are pleasant helps if possible. I would also have a CHECK UP!
It could be a sleeping disorder, however, I doubt it. Try Lunesta, or something of the like. Hope everything gets better :)
put earmuffs on, make the room oitch black and eat cereal before you go to bed
You are worrying about losing control of the circumstances of your life. Promise yourself that you can worry about it when you wake up in the morning.
Maybe your 2 hot at night and you need it to be cooler what I do is get a nightstand and put an airblower up to my face im asleep in 5 minutes hehehe hope it helps u ^_^
there is an over the counter sleep aid called Sominex. It is not as strong as a prescription med, but it helps me a lot on those occasions when I have trouble sleeping. Also, it won't make you feel sick or dizzy in the morning like most prescription meds do at first. Its worth giving a try, and its pretty cheap. Get the extra strenght purple box.
good luck!
Are you frequently stressed out? Do you have a history of insomnia? If so, seek your physician for medical assistance. However, considering that you do not have any of these problems... Personally, I find that one of the best way to relax and fall asleep is to clear your mind and enjoy a glass of red wine (Cabernet Sauvingon, Pinot Noir, Chianti, etc..). Because grape skins - which are removed when making white wine - are bursting with melatonin, the hormone that keeps our body clocks in check and tells us when it is time to go to bed. Therefore, red wine is a healthy and natural sleep inducer, since a glass of red wine a day is also beneficial to your health as you age. However, remember that you should naturally fall asleep without having to take anything, so use it sparingly as a sleep inducer. Cheers!

I'm having sharp pains in my chest?
My period is supposed to start in a few days and I'm having sharp pains in my breasts. Is that normal? It usually doesn't happen to me but I've been aching all over the past few days and some months before my period I do get aches all over my body, but this is the first time it has been in my chest. But I'm only 16.. so is that supposed to happen? Could it be something serious?
Answer:
Let me tell you what happens to me. Each month, my mentrual symptoms are always different. Some months, I may be so happy and BOOM--my period starts! Next month, I am SUPER tired and cranky. The next I have severe cramps. The next I may be VERY emotional and needy. And then the next my breasts will ACHE! You said you are having sharp pains, so I may be off here, but I will try to help. My breasts ache and my nipples are very tender. It hurts a lot when I take off my bra at the end of the day. I was told my breasts have water systs in them during this time. It's normal and always goes away usually right after your period starts. You're young so you will notice different symptoms each month. Nothing usually is constistent when it comes to the symptoms for most of us! If the pain doesn't go away after you start or after your period is over--GO see a doctor!
That's just Heart Burn. Take the Pink stuff.
It sounds like you might have pulled a muscle in your chest. Have you been working out lately, lifting heavy stuff, pulling or pushing stuff around? I actually pulled a chest muscle once just from stress alone. Anything's possible. But if you're scared, call a doctor and make sure it's nothing serious. Good luck!
no nothing serious- i have those too and i talked to a doctor who only treats breasts and she also told me this is normal and nothing to worry about.
but do ur monthly self checks of ur breasts-
most likely a hormonal link since it happens around the time or ur period
I know that feeling. I don't think (although not 100%) it is related to your period. I think you have a rib that has subluxated. It is common and a chiropratcor would be my first palce to visit.
