Vulvovaginal pain for 10+ years
Hormonal causes
Hello, I’ve been dealing with vaginal pain for most of my life, and I thought it was caused by hormones but now I’m unsure. Most of my pain is in my vestibule, however it’s sometimes in the vulva and clitoris (although not as much as the vestibule). I have never been able to have penetrative sex, and have done pelvic floor therapy and mental health therapy. I got my hormones checked, and was told it is because of low progesterone. I have been on a progesterone hormonal cream since January (now May) and I saw some improvements but not completely. I’m not sure if I should keep sticking with it, or try something else. I included a picture of my hormone panel above.
My vulva and especially vestibule is always red and uncomfortable, and certain ways of sitting and walking make it uncomfortable. I pretty much always have a discharge, and it is cream colored and somewhat thick, mostly around my period. I get a burning brown/black discharge before I start my period and after it ends, and it feels like lava.
I used to be on hormonal birth control pill for about 4 ish years (I’ve now been off for about 6 or 7 months) for heavvvvvyyy periods. My compounding pharmacist who made me the progesterone cream also said my adrenals are likely taxed, because I have had very high stress than the normal person (I am working on it, things are improving) and have high cortisol. She also thinks that my ovaries are probably not ovulating as they should, maybe because I had a restrictive eating disorder about 8 years ago during which I lost my period for about a year and had acne for the first time in my life after as well as osteoporosis. I’ve gotten STD panels and always been negative, and once the doctor gave me meds for a yeast infection and didn’t swab me. Next day went to someone who did swab me and it came back with zero yeast.
I’m saying all these symptoms to hopefully hear from people who have insight, since I’ve been to so many doctors and none seem to help me. I’m currently in urgent care as I write this because I believe I may have a yeast infection, although my symptoms are almost always like this.
I really want some help, I want a sex life, and I don’t want to live with this pain any longer. Please help! <3 I’m trying to remain positive.

Hi, this is my 3rd BC in a row. Had my 1st one last March 2024 and had an emergency Marsup as I suffered for 5 days + menstruation. It was really painful and had to go to ER and luckily, I had a OBGYNE in mind to do the procedure. The recovery was fast, instant relief. Then after a month, April 2024, it reoccur again, went to my Obgyne, gave me antibiotics and pain reliever but after a day, got my mens and I can't do the vaginal steaming. it was a struggle having BC and menstruation. The next day, went back to my OBgyne and she did I&D. again instant relief, the 3rd one, this month May 2024... first it was just a cyst it doesnt hurt but the next day it hurts but i can tolerate the pain coz it was not during my menstruation anymore. the 3rd day it hurts a lot, went to my OBGyne but gave me pain meds and i did vaginal steaming during the 1st day that i felt that it came back. Did steaming twice a day and the next day as well but during the 4th day i stopped as it hurts a lot and after steaming, it grew bigger and painful..later that day it finally burst. not sure if the pain meds helped too. but instant relief and avoided another procedure. Thank you, Lord! Praying this will be the last one as I feel that the procedure that my OB did is effective as i think the hole that was made during marsup and i&d open on its own.
Updated: 3rd day since it burst but its still swelling a little bit but I asked my mom to looked at my vulva she said its the same size but when i look at it, the one that had the cyst is a little bit bigger and the minora is still swelling a little bit. the day after it burst I kept on massaging it gently to ensure all the pus is out until I had a white clear discharge with no smell. how many days the swelling will subside? does white clear discharge means all pus are out? I dont want to have this again. also currently taking antibiotics as I visited another gyn.

Hi y'all. I have a slight problem. I have had my cat for 8 years. Her name is Luna, I adopted her when she was 2/3 ish. She was a little fluffy nugget then. I am not really sure of her full background and history but she was scared of everything when I first got her. Within a year of having her, she got a horrible UTI and my vet and I decided that she needed to be switched to a different cat food. All was well for 2 years. I got married 6 years ago, and as a wedding gift was given a kitten. So I've had Luna for 8 years, and Potato for 6 years. They aren't super loving towards each other, but they will snuggle together on the bed or the couch, and will sometimes groom each other, but Luna likes her space. We've had a few times here and there where Luna would pee on the carpet, we would take her to the vet, get a diagnosis of UTI, and remedy it. We changed her food to a urinary care one, even though it was super expensive. That seemed to do the trick.
Fast forward to now. Luna is probably 10/11. We recently fostered a mama cat and her two kittens, kept them separated from our other two cats. Of course my family fell in love with the kittens. We slowly introduced the kittens to our two cats, and while Luna and Potato weren't super thrilled, they seemed to accept them. Potato more than Luna. She seemed okay with everything as long as she got her space on the bed/couch. But now, after almost a year of having the kittens (Fish and Steve) Luna is peeing on the carpet in multiple places. We took her to the vet, thinking the worst, and she was diagnosed with stress. Honestly it's understandable because she didn't take to our first baby very well, but didn't want to take the anxiety medication and just refused to eat. Now she eats so very little but is very overweight. All blood tests came back negative for anything. Thyroid is fine. Blood sugar is fine. No UTI. But she just seems to be upset and sad all the time, and is now hissing at Potato all the time, which is now stressing out Potato.
With 4 cats in the house, we were going through the special urinary food super fast, even with trying to separate the cats and let Luna eat it. We switched the food to a cheaper option. So it's very possible she's just reacting to the change in food. I want to get a special food bowl that only opens for her, but we can't afford 200$+ on that right now.
To top all this off, we are moving in two months across the state for my job. It's going to be extremely stressful on our cats, but especially Luna. My question is, do you think it would be best for her to be rehomed, even though it would be stressful on her since I've had her most of her life, or do we just put her back on the expensive food and hope her stress levels come down eventually? I want what is best for her, and if she isn't happy with what is happening here, then I want to change that the best I can.

Just FYI had receptive unprotected anal intercourse a couple days prior to the development of this fresh hell.
But seriously, wtf is happening to me. Could this be herpes?? I went and got a blood test which said I have HSV 1 and possibly HSV 2 (HSV 2 reading is right on the cusp which has high rates of false positives) but apparently that’s useless bc like 80% of ppl have HSV 1 antibodies in their blood?? Apparently if I notice a bump I need to get that swabbed but how tf am I supposed to make that happen when it seems like not a single healthcare provider carries HSV PCR swabs and the window to get it swabbed is like two days.
A run down on my symptoms…when it first started (like a day after the last time I had sex, although I’d had sex multiple times in the few days before that too) I noticed pain in my anus which was gradual at first but after a day or two turned into a lot of pain and absolute hell during a BM. Then I noticed some white/yellow discharge coming from my anus to the point that it was wetting my underwear…then about a week passed and I notice what looks like a rash or possibly lesions around the area, which is when I go get that HSV blood test. I start taking Valacylovir for like a week and I’d say it clears up pretty quickly after that. But it had already been fading before the valacyclovir. Discharge went away. That was in January. Ever since, there’s still some pain every now and then during a BM or wiping and I have noticed the occasional possible red lesion mark around the anus (although not nearly to the extent of the first ordeal). I had cast doubt on HSV just because there’s not much on the internet about HSV inside the anus but I’m starting to wonder if that is in fact the cause of this?
I’ve been to an STD clinic, an urgent care clinic, and a proctologist and nobody seems to know what’s happening. Of course when I was at the proctologist my asshole decided to be perfectly fine that day and so he couldn’t find anything wrong. I’m currently using diltiazem ointment he prescribed me, wet wipes, aquaphor before a BM. I think I’m gonna retry the valacyclovir and see if that does anything. Anyone who does anal have any experience with this???

Hello, I did a TOC yesterday. Should get results in 10days. I had tried a week of doxycycline, then azithromycin and then a week of doxy and 2 days of moxi (started having side effects so I quit). My prior symptoms were yellowish to clear discharge and pain while urinating. Now I only have the symptom of a pain at the tip of my penis/urethra that’s mostly noticeable after peeing. It’s less noticeable after I drink plenty of fluids

My husbands mother has had an issue initially with bedbugs and hoarding due to illness. while hoarding is an illness in itself we deemed that she simply could not be left alone mentally an need to care for her. we spoke often about how ill she was and both came to an agreement that we must care for her and what better way then get an extra room and simply care for her. shes been living with us for a few years now. and im starting to see her and what her issues are.. she WAS ill at one point but got much much better. i realised that she had issues at one point but she will not help herself in ANYWAY shape or form to the point that she justifies being disgusting. when she lived on her own we tried twice to get her out of a nasty situation. she had a major bedbug infestation in both of her houses. we cleaned out her house and basically got rid of everything but there were still some hanger ons and it infested her second place that we helped her out of....
this second place was next door to us. so we could of been closer. she neglected her dog and made us go out pick up SOME stuff for her. while we had that space she let the dog shit and piss all over the house and never even bathed she would simply buy new things an sit on her ass while trash and shit and piss would build up around her (this was when it was very bad and we decided to take her in) she got out of there which i though was for her own good. she brought in the bed bugs into a few of our homes and they infested our stuff us needing to start over constantly. we even got many exterminators but also costly. we changed to some natural fungus treatment and FINALLY it worked after 3 years of trying to get rid of them.
just this year alone i have a child on the way and its increasingly frustrating that even with a cleaner environment, her getting mental help. getting the proper meds and support i over heard her say to her therapist that she feels unwelcome because of how apparently obsessively clean i am. I am also NESTING and i never really lived in a messy home i dont like it. im not even asking her to clean her own room it is her space but my husband and my step son have tried to clean her room because frankly it does smell to some degree. and theres alot of clutter(way less horrid then what she had but bad nonetheless)
she just orders clothes instead of cleaning them even upon offering to clean her clothes for her. she hoards trash around my house saying she will recycle but she doesnt (beside the recycling bin itself) so i do it for her and she gets angry. she does have incontinence issues so she wears diapers. while she can go to the bathroom on her own she sometimes misses (understandable) but she leaves her dirty diapers on my counter instead of putting them in the trash literally next to the toilet. and leaves feeces and blood on the toilet seat for me to clean. she always makes us buy her things now and horribly unhealthy food all the time and complainss when we sometimes make food for her she doesnt like. (in an attempt to be sure everyone eats what they like we all take executive decisions as a group on what to eat). i feel like were leaving alot of legroom regardless even if we dont like it but its never good enough. this woman refused to eat a pizza because the peperoni was under the cheese..... my husband started getting angry (i always was and i regret this decision)
but i need a more clean home for my baby and i can no longer tend to this woman (aswell as myself and the rest of the familly. my husband has stepped in ALOT and talks to his mom telling her that she needs to for the child but she always gives me these passive aggressive or petty comments. like when i clean she says (my mom used to move furniture around to clean it). or (can you leave the bathroom door open ((so she can breathe but she never had an issue with the window open) i keep it closed to keep the animals out. her cats cant even pee properly so were constantly cleaning the cat litter for this woman. we run errands for her. we setup her appointments for her, we attempt to help her clean her room but she refuses putting everyone else at risk. she gets angry with us for not doing things her way. sometimes me and my husband argue and she says WE bother HER when we argue. to basically stop arguing because it makes HER uncomfortable. after being forgiving for so many years she runs the entire familly bending all of us around her damn fingers for her own convenience. frankly i gave her the benefit of the doubt for a very long time and i just cant take it anymore. even establishing to her that we need her to take care of herself a bit more so we can focus on the end of my pregnancy and when that baby arrives. she still acts like we HAVE to do everything for her. weve asked her to move her own car simple as so that we dont have to pay for tickets... today i just picked a ticket off of her car and she WILL blame my husband for not moving it. we work from home and dont always have the time to do it on time while she has zero responsibilities and NOTHING to do . i was at a point once where i told myself she cant shes sick. but she has no issue going out on her own when she wants to go shopping. she rarely leaves the house but shes perfectly able. i hate to say this but shes flat out LAZY and aa HOARDER simple as and is trying nothing to get better for herself when we directly ask her she gets better for 2 days then she reverts back to slob and (do everything for me go buy me more coke) attitude. i know i shouldnt butt in to the whole therapist thing either but she makes them housecalls instead which means we cant even live in our own house while the therapist is around. and when she sits on the couch.... she then stays there fo DAYS. making my livingroom a mess and TMI but i can SEEEEE her skin sheds ON MY COUCH.
im cleaning 24/7 my husband cares for me and helps me clean and so does his son. and we all contribute. except for her. its a big familly. and when i cant, i ask for help and i get it. BUT i see the stress my husband also undergoes. we have to care for absolutely everyones incompetence with a baby on the way and its extremely stressfull. the LEAST that i want is to keep her own stuff in check but she is completely ignorant.
I need to vent and i frankly want to yell at her and just tell her to wake the fuck up and take care of herself or shes out of my house. but truth is i have still seen my husbands mood improve to some degree knowing his mom is still in a better environment regardless. we cant just kick her out again to be left to her own.
sadly however im starting to think she should just no longer be my business and it should just be me taking care of my house regardless of her being here no matter how anngry or pettty she gets. she completely disagrees with how i handle my house. my relationship. and my familly as a whole. again i dont want to listen in on someones therapy session but the walls are thin. she makes her therapy sessions about how shes uncomfortable and dislikes how I handle MY life decisions and MY kids and MY relationship with my husband.
i love him and she cant even be grateful that we took her in to help. she cant even be grateful that she has a cleaner home to die in. and shes definitely taking advantage of us. when she doesnt need to. Im just TIRED

Earlier this month I had my first confirmed UTI that seemed to clear up after a week of antibiotics and a confirmed E-coli culture.
After a full week of thinking I was better, I began to experience increased urgency and frequent urination. Quickly I had a telehealth appt and a doctor prescribed me a different antibiotic. Thinking this would finally knock it out, I proceeded as usual.
The day I ran out of those antibiotics I began to feel the increased urgency again. Went to the ER and they gave me a third round of antibiotics and supposedly sent it in for a culture. It’s been over two weeks and I haven’t heard anything about the culture.
I was fine once again for about a week when a couple days ago I started to experience the frequency and urgency to urinate 1-2 times an hour. I went to the urologist and he said there wasn’t any bacteria upon the first test but there was traces of blood. He seemed to reassure me that nothing is wrong and I just need to proceed as usual til they can look at this new culture. I am now waiting anxiously to hear back and it could be days.
Having this kind of frequent urgency is disrupting my life drastically. I am starting a new job soon and have a plane trip after that to get ready for. Please advise me on what I should do? Peeing every half hour to an hour round the clock. I am able to sleep, barely.

So I (13 M) had just gotten out of the bowling alley after my mom Took and picked up our landlord (50-60 F) (will call her bun for now) from the hospital because her blood pressure or sugar was up so high she was gonna pass out so she called my mom and she took her to the hospital before. and now my mom has me going there to walk her dogs. and bun told me she walks the dog at 12 pm to 7 pm and I’m fine with 7 pm but waking up at 12 pm is a little to much for me because I don’t get up as fast and when I do I don’t have time to eat so when I ride my bike over which is like 5 mins to get there is fine but there’s 4 dogs and 1 of them eats the other dogs poop and when we get back that one Dog likes to lick me and I get pissed and don’t tell bun but I tell her that one dog like to eat poop and she said that she can’t really do anything about that and I ask her if there’s any thing she wants me to do for her before I go back home and come back at 7 because I’m that kind of person I likes to help because she sick. and she had me pick up dog poop off the floor because the dogs like to poop and pee on the floor anyways. I didn’t know that because I wasn’t in her house before and there was a lot of poop so I did my thing and did it .and I’ve been walking her dogs for about a 3 weeks now and my mom the the brightest idea to do and give my number out to bun and I was pissed because I don’t want my number out to somebody. I only do it to people like my friends and other kinds of people and she didn’t tell me that she give my number out to her and sense I realize I’ve been doing this for ( three weeks now) and I’m doing things like fixing her fence and picking up dog poop and taking them for long walks which she recently had me do and now my father agrees with me now that I should be payed (so am I the asshole?)

I 15F got a laparoscopy about 3 weeks ago. I had appendicitis and a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was treated, went to hospital, got surgery, and stayed for about 5 days then left in pain. I was only in pain for about 4-6 days after surgery including pain while peeing. All symptoms went away and i have been good till about 3 days ago i got that familiar feeling from surgery, a VERY strong pain in my blatter along with 2-3 drops of blood 🤔 Obviously i track my period and know this isnt the case, but i do workout occasionally and smoke (which i shouldn’t have after surgery but did anyways) i healed fine and now im feeling bad, does anyone think i should go to the hospital?

Breed: Lab x German shepherd Age: 4.5 months, unspayed female Weight: 24lbs Location: Tacoma area, WA
History: I am a volunteer foster with a local rescue group. We picked up a litter from a rural animal hoarding situation. Puppies were confined in a crate in unhygienic conditions in a barn for first 5 weeks before we got them. Luna is the smallest of the litter. Flea/worm treatment and parvo vacc given.
She had urinary urgency (constantly squatting with no urine, or little drops at a time, often with no control ie just sitting there and would pee on herself, or would pee and then walk away like she was done but was still draining urine). She has pus-like discharge, green -yellow thick and creamy. It would be down the insides of her legs, large amounts draining constantly. A couple times a day the urine would be thick, gel-like and discolored. Sometimes she would just pee a gloop of straight pus.
Vet check: she was given a 10 day course of clavamox. Started on forti-flora and another puppy probiotic, I was giving her plain Greek yoghurt and bone broth to encourage hydration on top of Blue Buffalo Puppy food.
After 10 days of antibiotics she continued to have discharge and urinary symptoms. Vet did a Ultrasound a week after completion of course of antibiotics and said she'd never seen a bladder so full of pus. Apparently looked like a "snow globe" . She drew a syringe of urine for sample via U/sound and sent for culture. Result came back clear. Told that it will probably clear up.
A month has passed, she continues with the same symptoms. Was sitting on my feet while I was making dinner a few days ago and just peed all over us both. Her littermates potty trained beautifully. I've had a lot of experience with large breed pups and this seems unusual. I continue to find drops of pus and thick urine around the house daily. She continues to be crusty with pus inside her legs every morning (cleaning with sterile water wipes).
Third vet visit today (different vet) said he thinks vaginitis, will clear on its own. Thought follow up U/sound was unnecessary and that blood work would show nothing. He said that this is common in young females who have not been in heat yet.
The rescue is wanting to adopt her out ASAP and are proceeding with applications after today's "all clear". It isn't sitting right with me and would hate for a family take on a pup that might not be ready yet.

Im a 31 year old female with endometriosis and ADHD. I weigh 45kg and 154cm in height. White, female, generally pretty healthy bar the endometriosis and physically active. Take ADHD meds during day and melatonin at night usually for ADHD related sleep onset issues.
Now on codeiene 30mg, Pregabalin 50mg x 3 times per day. Anti sickness meds from post op complications and suspected pudenal neuraglia.
I had a larsoscopy in January. My aterty was cut (unsure which bit likely a branch of lilo lumbar or espgatric) I bled into my pelvis and labia and crashed in the ward a few hours after surgery. I developed a grade 3 hematoma. The hospital discharged me with no follow up or aftercare plan so no one has physically assessed me since surgery bar my GP. My GP arranged an ultrasound 4 weeks post op to confirm blood has reasborded. I had a UTI around this time, which resolved. However the nausea, stabbing pains in hematoma site, reduced ability to open my bowels/bladder, reduced sensitivity on my left leg and labia have not resolved. My GP suspects nerve damage, and I am now on Pregabalin as a result to manage the burning sensation and pain in my groin. I can barely walk or sit some days due to pain. I've been on Pregabalin 2 months so fairly adjusted to it. It brings some relief.
However, Everytime I have a "pain flare up" my former hematoma site darkens and becomes bruised, this can be from as little as having sex or walking to trying to do more physical activity. This builds up over days until it is sore to touch and I begin to lose mobility due to pain. Opening my bowels and fully emptying my bladder becomes almost impossible, to the point I'm in agony just going to the toilet. I've started to manually evacuate (I've done this occasionally for many years due to IBS related to endometriosis) and notice how blocked my actual back passage feels, it feels like there is this bump pushing down into it from the part close to my vagina that I cant seem to adjust or move. I cannot tolerate insertion to my vagina that is at 12 o'clock (near my bladder) or six o'clock (near my rectum).
Yesterday I lost my footing due to trying to get off the toilet after weeing due to stabbing pain in surgery site after emptying my bladder. I noticed the entire area has developed patches of brown/blue markings, and I am experiencing loose bowel motions and today. The pain is so bad I can't sit anymore today and have been in bed most the day. My usual stretches and pain killers are bringing no relief.
My GP is concerned and has referred me to a urologist, endo specialist and rectal surgeon. My boyfriend is also a doctor (junior) and has no idea why the bruising appears and what causes these bad pain flares. All vaginal swaps and urine tests came back clear.
If anyone has any ideas or in this area, please let me know.

half vent post, half wondering what y'all think. I'm looking for opinions.
I've posted on here a few times and my situation is quite complex. I had my hysterectomy on March 29th and then a cuff repair for partial dehiscence on April 15th. I'm 5 weeks post op from that and I'm now on my FIFTH rounds of antibiotics because I have a pretty significant infection going on. I had 4 organisms at one point and I'm now down to 2 that seem hard to treat... I can't remember the other 2 I had but they have been treated, however I still have e.feacalis and e.coli up there.
I was originally on amoxicillin right out of surgery, then clindamycin, then ciprofloxacin, then penicillin VK for a week, had a 1 week break, and now I'm on penicillin VK again for 2 weeks this time. I was worried because I've read online that e.coli is resistant to penicillin, but on my test results it says it's susceptible...? My doctor said I can take cefdinir if the discharge I'm experiencing doesn't clear up by the end of it, and that should clear it, but she said the penicillin should treat both this time, even though that 1 week of penicillin was originally supposed to clear the e.faecalis the first time! 😭
I don't know what to think. I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm nervous and burnt out from all the complications I've had and I have to go back to work tomorrow because I can't make it by on my state mandated disability anymore, it barely pays me anything. I asked my doctor if I can use boric acid again (used it a lot pre surgery) because my pH is messed up from not only being a trans guy taking testosterone, but also probably from all the antibiotics and surgery. She said boric acid won't hurt anything since my cuff looks good, but I'm only 5 weeks post cuff repair and I still have stitches in! She said they're supposed to dissolve this week, but I'm scared and don't know what to do. I've tried getting in to see another doctor at that practice who I like and have gone to before, but I won't be able to to see her until June 12th. They won't get me in sooner unless I'm experiencing worsening symptoms or different types of symptoms.
If you're someone who was given the clear to take any sort of vaginal suppositories after surgery (probiotioc, boric acid, ect) how soon did you start? Or if you're someone whose dealt with a lot of infections and antibiotics, how did you cope with it?? I feel like I'm losing hope.

Species- cat Age- 2 yrs Sex- male/neutered Breed- Domestic shorthair Body weight- 14 lbs originally( 12lbs now)( he was not overweight just very tall, he has always been very slim and toned) History- There is a history of spraying, no blood or lack of urine, just a marking issue i assume. It was on and off. Clinical signs- (described below) Duration- 5 weeks.
Week 1- urinating outside the litter box, urinating often, blood in urine. Went to the vet and got prescribed antibiotics for 6 days. Also was prescribed food for urinary issues ( i forgot the name i will edit once i get home.)
Week 2- doing okay on antibiotics, no more blood, going in the litter box.
Week 3- 2 days after finishing antibiotics he is urinating outside the box again, next day he is blocked(can’t pee). He looked skinnier so i weighed him and he was down 2 lbs from last time he was at the vet. we took him to the emergency vet and he was hospitalized for 5 days.
Week 4- back from vet, seems happy, has energy, is playing, seems to be gaining weight back. He was still urinating outside the box but i was told that’s normal so i wanted to wait a few days for it to let up.
Week 5(right now)- 1.5 weeks after pickup from e-visit, he is still straining to urinate, going outside the box, and seems to be losing weight and energy again. We are calling the vet to get him another appointment.
I’m worried that this will just be what he has to live with for the rest of his life. How long should i let it go on before considering euthanasia? If anybody has seen similar situations i would really like some advice.

( Also In my childhood ( when I was in 3rd or 4 th grade ..I had to control the pee for hour or so due to travel or strict teacher in school)
Present : now coming to present I still do get occational frequent urges to pee in small amounts but it last only for 30 mins or less and then disappears for months. ( But I feel this happens on specifically those days when I drink lots of water I one sitting most probably after lunch )
•Problem( why am I writing this?- So next month I am going to have a medical test for a job which will contain blood and urine test .. I being huge overthinkiner and anxiety person thinks what if urine test tells me I have prostate cancer ( bcz I have been have this issues like bedwetting and etc 👆since childhood ) and I get rejected for job , my alk exam prep will go in vain ) this thought of overthinkking is killing me every single day and I am not able to concentrate on my exam next week which will qualify me for medical test .

Can prostate cancer be found out through regular urine medical test does for jobs ?
Pls reply 🙏

Im 8dpo (31F lap turned abdominal. Kept ovaries and cervix) and i think im past the worst of it. While im still pretty much couch ridden, I figured I would put this out there to maybe help someone else preparing for their surgery! Obviously we all know these experiences are highly personal and will not be exactly like anyone elses experience, but I personally found it helpful gathering peoples experiences and reflecting based on what I know about myself so I thought id write the kind of post Id want to read! I tried to make easy to skim but also included plenty of details!
Heres some things Im glad I did beforehand

• washed and changed my bed sheets -cleaned my bathroom well
• moved things i knew i would need to a hight where I don’t have to bend down to get them. I moved my toilet paper to easy accessible places, my pj shirts and underwear on top of my dresser. Set up a bed stand for water and meds. Also moved my fridge around.
• as for buying stuff, i mostly had everything i needed but was glad to have comfy sweat pants, backless slippers and highwasted underwear. Also those rechargeable battery bricks were handy for charging my phone in the hospital or sitting somewhere not near an outlet. -exercised. Dont stress about this one, i know chronic pain is often the reason for this surgery. I had to stop my routine months before surgery for this reason. But I was glad to be familiar with proper squat form and have strong arms and legs to help get myself up and down without using my core. I also did yoga therapy that helped me understand how to transfer my weight to different parts of my body which helped too!

Heres some things i was extremely stressed about but ended up not being a problem
-Food. My mom came and cooked me some large portion of meals. I ended up throwing most of it away. The idea was to freeze some of it but it was too much of a hassle. I didn’t have much of an appetite and definitely gravitated towards things in the BRAT diet especially bread. I spent the first few days eating like i had the flu and was really sensitive to grease. My mom made wedding soup and it was too greasy. I think i could have survived this week just on a package of bagels and different spreads.
-cleaning and chores. Im pretty sure I have OCD.. this experience has confirmed it. I looked out at my thriving garden yesterday and said to my partner absent mindedly “wow. Things really thrive when im not out there being over involved “ and like wow that is a lesson i did not expect to learn. My partner has been clearing the dishes each day and did some more involved chores once this week. So if you live alone I would advise paper plates and maybe some to help ya once a week for the first week at least.
-in terms of my surgery i was really scared of having a catheter which i did end up needing to have for a day. It was weird but not at all painful. Honestly it was kind of the worst part of my recovery so far just because i felt i had to pee so bad while it was in. Idk if thats typical. Taking it out was not at all painful but also weird. They used the catheter to put sterile water back in my bladder. As soon as i felt a twinge of uncomfortable full feeling i told my nurse. She removed the catheter and i peed it back out no problem.
-being bored. This week has felt like one day. Since it takes me 10x as long to do anything, the days are flying by. I got myself plenty of low key things to do (crafts, activity books, ect) and haven’t even had time to do any of them yet! I still have a feeling this will change in the coming weeks though..
-having enough help. I secretly wished one of my friends or family members would stay with me for a while just so I could be the solo focus of their attention. I live with my partner and two dogs and he has been totally enough support. I needed help getting up and down up until about day 5. He also makes my meals and cleans them up for me and would bring me my meds and water the first few days. I think it makes sense if you live alone to have someone stay a week with you, but ive been fine and honestly anytime someone has come to “help” its just felt draining. I didn’t know how much of a hermit I would wana be.
-my dogs. I piled myself in pillows if i was sitting on the couch with them. I also had a no chew spray near by that we used when they were pups but only had to use it one time. My partner helped to coral them the first few days too. I have not yet been puppy stomped
-the stairs. Its been fine I just have to go slow.
Heres some things I found out along the way that were helpful

• keep cough drops in your pocket. Coughing aint fun and my throat was irritated from being intubated for about 4 days after surgery. Also keep the paper so you can spit em out when they’ve done the job if you want. I started getting a tummy ache from having too many.

-keep lil pillows by your toilet. The hospital gave me one that was plasticy and easy to wipe off (like an outdoor pillow insert). Or even a balled up towel would work. I couldn’t wear a binder because of all my incisions but this helped take the pressure off my stomach/incisions when i needed to have a bowel movement.
-if you stack pillows on either side of you, they can act as “arms” that are handy to push down on when you get up.
-sip your water and take your stool softeners as soon as they say you can! It took me until day 4 to poop but it was no problem when it happened.
-lots of deep slow breaths to calm your nerves and pain.

• those squeezable applesauce packs. Great for when you take your pain pills.

Heres some challenges I encountered that surprised me.
-my throat was so sore! For the first 4 days my throat was irritating, it felt like I had a flap of skin sticking down. The first day it hurt but the rest was just so annoying.

• breathing was a challenge. The first few days i was in bed, it was hard to breathe. I couldn’t take a Deep belly breath because of my incisions. I tried to regularly take a big breath filling my lungs though. Once i started being able to get up and walk around it became less of a problem. I think they have a tool for this at the hospital too but i was not offered it and forgot to ask.

-always laying on my back is getting old. I haven’t quite figured it out yet but im getting there.
-not really a challenge but my lower belly is numb. Apparently that can just happen (even long term). Which has actually been helpful since I can’t feel my lower abdominal incision at all
Lastly!! The pain/symptom scale: Day 0: honestly don’t remember much except feeling i need to pee and my throat being sore. Day 1: was still in the hospital. Pain like cramps and burning pain near certain incisions. I was able to walk the hall but very tired after. Sore throat. Day 2: burning pain near bellybutton incisions. Heavy lung feeling. Left the hospital. Day 3: heavy lung feeling. Pinching pain in incisions whenever I stood or sat. Had some moderate discharge that was yellowish with red and brown. Otherwise no pain Day 4: more like a sharp ache when i stood/sat. Discharge again but a very light amount. Day 5: felt strides..any pain was mild cramping. Tried to shower myself and make myself breakfast which led me to be very tired for the rest of the day. Day 6: most tired yet. Pain the same Day 7: felt like turning a page. Pain very little and energy very good.

/uw Part four is here! Here's part one, part two, and part three! This one's probably a little more unpolished than the other ones, but I hope that doesn't ruin it! CW: Death, blood. I made a render in blender, but it got the post removed! Take two!

The end of the book, thin as it is, draws near. The text is overwritten dozens of times, always with the same phrase: "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT". Same as the other pages, though, it's easy enough to look past the bad coverup job. History cannot be erased, after all.
...
When I arrived at the hospital, I was in bad shape. I had a fractured skull, a missing eye, a lesion in my frontal lobe, and I was in hypovolemic shock. They didn't think I was going to make it.
It was a miracle that I even woke up from my two-week coma, but it wasn't all perfect. From the moment I opened my eye(s), I didn't know where I was. I had to relearn everything. My name, my address, my identity... They were all gone.
It was as if I was a new man who'd been transported into a stranger's body. Everyone talked to me as if they knew me, but I couldn't say the same for them. Especially that drow, Eldred. He claimed we were childhood friends. Every day, he'd tell me stories of our history together, but they were stories I never wanted to hear. It felt wrong listening to him talk, knowing there was a man who knew more about me than I did.
The moment I was discharged, I fled to my apartment. I drew the blinds, locked the door, and cut off all contact from the outside world. I wanted to run away from it all, to start a new life, not some travesty of another man's life.
After a few days of my isolation, Eldred (presumably) got worried about me, and came knocking on my door. I didn't answer. I wanted nothing to do with him—or anyone, for that matter. He was a remnant of my old life, and I couldn't let him influence me.
A couple days later, he did the same thing. He offered some kind, reassuring words through the door and left. He did this again, and again, and again, for weeks. I was running low on food and supplies, so I was faced with a choice: leave my safe haven, or starve to death in my own home. I didn't like either option. Although... there was another way.
After 17 days of his repeated attempts, I finally answered the door.
"Ith!" Eldred cheered. "You... you really answered!"
"Yeah."
"So uh... Have you been doing alright?"
"I'm fine."
He looked over my shoulder. "Have... you not left the house?"
"Not yet."
"Jesus, Ithael..." He pulled me in for a hug, but I didn't react. "Do you, uh, need anything?"
"Could... you go to the market for me?"
He let go of me. "Yeah, of course! I'll... I'll be back!"
"Alright."
I slammed the door in his face. Just another echo of my old life, that's all he was... A few hours later, he knocked on the door again. I almost didn't answer, but then I remembered he had my groceries.
He exclaimed with clearly-forced optimism, "Heyyyy! Hope you've been alright! So, I was thinking, and... I was wondering if you wanted to do dinner together?"
"Not out there. Never out there. Here. Please."
"I figured you'd say that... so I got ingredients! I found this recipe for some pan-seared chicken in the library earlier, and it sounded really good!"
"...Alright." I took the bags from him and walked over to the kitchen. "Come inside."
"I, uh, was going to make it for you—"
"It's fine," I interjected.
I rummaged through the bags for the cookbook he talked about and flipped through the pages. It didn't look too difficult to make, but I wasn't sure how I knew that. This was the first time I had cooked anything, after all.
Assumedly hearing the pans clattering, Eldred wandered over to the counter, sitting down in a chair across from me. "Need a hand?"
"I'm alright."
"Are you sure? I mean, you were just—"
"Shut it," I commanded. I didn't mean to be so stern. What had come over me? I decided to brush it off. The recipe called for a diced onion... I needed a knife.
He slumped down in his seat. "Sorry... I, uh, got these books for you, by the way."
I glanced up from the cutting board. "...'Healing trauma: a guide for survivors'? And... 'How to cure amnesia'?" I scoffed. "If they could have fixed it, they would have, Eldred. It's incurable."
"We can't know until we try!" He strolled over into the kitchen, flipping to a bookmarked page. "See? This one here says—"
"It doesn't matter."
"Ithael... I'm here for you, man. I'm just trying to help—"
"And I don't care."
I focused myself back to the task at hand, ignoring his look of disdain. The room fell uncomfortably silent. I needed to fillet the chicken. I rummaged through the bags, trying to find—
"Seriously?" Eldred huffed. "I put in all of this work, and you just... don't care?"
"Never asked for it." Now, where was I? Right, chicken—
"That doesn't mean anything! Let me help you, you're clearly struggling!"
"I could manage without you." I continued to avoid eye-contact.
"Why are you so dead-set on pushing me out of your life?!"
"You were never in it to begin with, Eldred. I'm not the Ithael you knew."
"And who cares that you aren't?! Can't we still be friends?"
I tried to explain, "You're just a remnant of my past—"
"And that's an excuse to treat me like shit?! You know what?" He grabbed the books. "I'm done trying to fix you."
"Fix me?" I scoffed. "So I'm a problem, then? Something to be solved?—"
"You're twisting my words! Why... Why do you hate me?!"
"Face it: I'm a different person! Move on with your life, already!"
"What gives you the right to say that?!"
"Oh, what gives me the right?!" I waved the knife around a little too recklessly. "Were you just in a coma for two weeks? Did you just get thrown into a world that knows you better than yourself?! Where's your excuse, huh?!"
"...What do you want from me, Ithael?"
"I want you to get out of my life!"
Time slowed to a crawl as a deep pit formed in my stomach. I yanked my hand back like I'd touched a hot stove, and the knife... clattered to the floor. That look in his eyes... I'd never forget it. I had never seen a man so afraid before.
He grasped at his neck, his face turning pale as his hands soaked with blood. He fell to his knees, mouthing some words at me, but the only sound that came out was a sickening gurgle. He struggled to keep his balance as he fell flat on his face. His breathing grew labored and shaky as he lay there, a crimson puddle forming around his neck.
I knew that I should have gotten help, but, no matter how hard I tried, all I could do was watch. He cried onto the tiled ground, his breathing growing quieter and quieter, until he finally went silent.
What had I done?
...
It seems that he forgot to put any kind of warding spell on this newspaper clipping, as if he didn't expect anyone to get this far. Or perhaps he was too preoccupied with deceiving himself.
"As rumors regarding the disappearance of Eldred Wyndorn continue to circulate, the enigmatic Ithael Ralich opens a new therapist's office. In response to the whispers, Ithael states, 'There's a profound lack of support in this world, and every person could stand to have someone like Eldred by their side. I hope I can step up and fulfill a role he would have approved of.'
In other news, authorities are taking steps to curb the rising number of missing persons cases. Officials urge citizens to adhere to newly-instated curfew until the threat is solved, but claim there's nothing to worr—"

Why nightmares and ‘daymares’ could be early warning signs of autoimmune disease

An increase in nightmares and hallucinations—or ‘daymares’—could herald the onset of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, say an international team led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. The researchers argue that there must be greater recognition that these types of mental health and neurological symptoms can act as an early warning sign that an individual is approaching a “flare,” where their disease worsens for a period.
5-20-2024 Yoga and meditation-induced altered states of consciousness are common in the general population, study says
Yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and other practices are gaining in popularity due to their potential to improve health and well-being. The effects of these practices are mostly positive and occasionally transformational, yet they are known to sometimes be associated with challenging altered states of consciousness. New research by a team including investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital reveals that altered states of consciousness associated with meditation practice are far more common than expected. Although many people reported positive outcomes, that were sometimes even considered transformational, from these experiences, for a substantial

Total in-episode expenses and resource use before the index surgery (preop) and including/after the surgery (postop). The comparisons are separated for analysis into (A) single institution cohorts (1 and 2) and (B) multi?institution cohorts (3 and 4). Moyamoya disease is a rare condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain, especially in children. Narrowing and blockage of vessels significantly increases the risk of stroke and requires surgical revascularization for treatment. Although research shows that outcomes of revascularization are better
5-20-2024 Study explores links between social media use, mental health and sleep quality
The more time you spend on social media, the greater the likelihood of having unpleasant social-media related dreams that cause distress, sleep disruption and impact our peace of mind. Flinders University’s Reza Shabahang says that the vast and rapid adoption of social media has the potential to influence various aspects of life, including the realm of dreaming. “As social media becomes increasingly intertwined with our lives, its impact extends beyond waking hours, and may influence our dreams,”
5-20-2024 How are asthma and heart health linked?
Although the heart and lungs are neighbors in your chest, people may think of them as separate entities with unrelated problems. But a growing body of evidence suggests that asthma—one of the most common lung disorders—is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Asthma is a serious chronic disease in which airways are inflamed, often in response to specific triggers. It affects about 25 million people in the U.S., including nearly 5 million children, causing millions of annual visits to doctors’ offices and emergency rooms. “We call these major changes
5-20-2024 STUDY EXPLORES PATIENT TRUST IN PHYSICIANS
Trust in one’s physician drives positive health practices. In a scoping review, SUNY Poly Professor of Sociology Dr. Linda R. Weber discovered new developments in the measurement of trust, identified those measures of trust that have known reliability and validity, and compared those instruments’ conceptualizations, dimensions, and indicators. The paper is published in the journal PLOS ONE. Weber explains that 10 dimensions emerged from the study: fidelity, technical competence, communicative competence, interpersonal competence (i.e., caring), honesty, confidentiality, global, behavioral, fairness, and system trust/accountability. In addition, these findings provide the foundation
5-20-2024 TIMESAVING TIPS FOR COOKING HEALTHY MEALS
Living a busy, fast-paced life can make it hard to find the motivation to cook a healthy meal at home. However, learning some shortcuts in the kitchen can keep your healthy eating goals on track and help you avoid grazing on unhealthy snacks, grabbing the first thing you see in the fridge or going out for fast food. Why cook at home? Research shows that maintaining a healthy weight is challenging when you eat out too frequently. Restaurant portions often are super-sized
5-20-2024 UNDERSTANDING PERIMENOPAUSE VS. MENOPAUSE
Menopause marks a significant transition for women, yet understanding its precursor, perimenopause, and its symptoms can be complex. Dr. Stephanie Faubion, director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Women’s Health and medical director of The Menopause Society, says experiencing perimenopause and menopause can be confusing for some. She says it is not only patients who may find it confusing, but medical providers as well, due to lack of training in menopause management. “Menopause is defined by no menstrual cycle for a year,” says Dr. Faubion.
5-20-2024 LOW-DOSE IRON SUPPLEMENTATION HAS NO BENEFIT FOR BREASTFED INFANTS, SHOWS STUDY
The American Pediatric Association recommends iron supplements to all healthy infants who breastfeed longer than four months, while its European counterpart, Society of Gastroenterology, Hepataology and Nutrition, does not recommend it. These deviating guidelines stimulated researchers to design a new study. Breastfeeding is strongly recommended, and the proportion of children are breastfed during the first half of life is high. The researchers wanted to determine whether breastfeeding babies could benefit from extra iron.
5-20-2024 ALLERGY MEDICATIONS COME WITH HAZARDS: BE AWARE
People with seasonal allergies often turn to over-the-counter and prescription medicines to relieve symptoms like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, congestion and itchy eyes, nose or throat. But they often aren’t aware that these meds—including antihistamines—have as much risk for potential side effects, drug interactions and overdose as other drugs. “All medicines have side effects associated with them even when they are taken appropriately and according to dosing directions on the label,”
5-20-2024 I CAN’T AFFORD OLIVE OIL—WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?
If you buy your olive oil in bulk, you’ve likely been in for a shock in recent weeks. Major supermarkets have been selling olive oil for up to A$65 for a four-liter tin, and up to $26 for a 750 milliliter bottle. We’ve been hearing about the health benefits of olive oil for years. And many of us are adding it to salads, or baking and frying with it. But during a cost-of-living crisis, these high prices can put olive oil out of reach. Let’s take a look at why
5-20-2024 Researchers uncover biological trigger of early puberty
Heather Brenhouse, associate professor of psychology, says disrupting the caretaker relationship can really traumatize a child or a developing rodent. Credit: Ruby Wallau/Northeastern University New research conducted by the Brenhouse Lab reveals how early life adversity triggers early puberty and late-life anxiety, paving the way for potential interventions. The onset of puberty has been creeping downward for decades. In the United States, the average age of girls reaching puberty ranges from 8.8 to 10.3 years old. The early start of puberty, which is associated with many health risks, can be

Brain-spinal cord duet’s neurodynamic symphony is now accessible to scientists via novel multi-organ implants. Credit: Dmitrijs Celinskis A sensory process such as pain is no ordinary phenomenon—it’s a symphony of neural and vascular interactions orchestrated by the brain and spinal cord. Attempting to dissect this symphony by focusing on a single region is like trying to understand a complex melody by listening to just one instrument. It’s incomplete, potentially misleading, and may result in erroneous conclusions. Enter the Carney Institute’s team of visionaries. Their mission? To develop tools that allow

Participating in a three-week car-free challenge has enhanced the health and well-being of Oxford residents, according to research conducted by The University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), in partnership with climate charity Possible and Low Carbon Oxford North (LCON), conducted this research project. After ditching their cars for three weeks, 10 out of the 12 drivers across Oxford who participated said they plan to continue with reduced car use beyond the project. The findings of this research project show that: Day-to-day transport emissions were slashed
5-20-2024 Research shows linked biological pathways driving skin inflammation
A certain biological pathway—a set of linked reactions in the body—drives the inflammation seen in the skin disease psoriasis, a new study finds. The work could lead to improved therapies for all inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic and allergic dermatitis and a type of boil called hidradenitis suppurativa, say the study authors. The findings are published in the journal Immunity. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to irritation and infection, but when out of control, it can lead to the reddish, flaky, itchy lesions that
5-20-2024 Prescription co-payments linked to more hospital admissions in New Zealand, study finds
A new study from researchers cautions that bringing back the $5 co-payment for prescription medicines could see a jump in hospital admissions. The study analyzed health data for 71,502 people and found those who didn’t pick up a prescription because they couldn’t afford the $5 fee had a 34% higher rate of being admitted to hospital.
5-20-2024 How a simulation is informing COVID-19 vaccine policy after our ‘return to normal’
As the saying goes “There is no such thing as normal” and this has been especially true after the pandemic. Before the emergence of the omicron COVID-19 variant, countries like the U.K. had high vaccination coverage along with widespread exposure to COVID-19 in the population. This combination of vaccine and infection-derived immunity is termed hybrid immunity and is different to vaccine immunity or infection immunity alone. In contrast, other countries, including Australia, New Zealand and those in the Western Pacific, had a very different pandemic experience.
5-20-2024 Researchers find intriguing connections between Alzheimer’s disease and other common conditions
A study has found that while some medical conditions appear to increase our likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease, others appear to decrease the odds. The study, led by Dr. Yijun (Nicholas) Pan and Dr. Liang Jin, analyzed data from 2,443 older Australians living in Melbourne or Perth who are part of the Australian Imaging, Biomarker and Lifestyle (AIBL) study, an internationally recognized cohort for dementia research. “We found anxiety and other neurological disorders are associated with increased likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Pan said.

5-20-2024 Study finds tyrosine kinase Csk promotes germinal center B cell survival and affinity maturation
The authors found that Csk (a tyrosine kinase that attenuates B cell receptor signaling) is required for germinal center maintenance and efficient antibody maturation. The immune system strikes a fine balance by identifying and neutralizing disease-causing agents while carefully avoiding destruction of healthy tissues and cells. Now, researchers from Japan have shed new light on one of the processes that helps train immune cells to act only against genuine threats.
5-20-2024 Significant gaps between science of obesity and the care patients receive, say experts
As research continues to produce evidence about the underlying causes of obesity and optimal strategies to treat and manage obesity have evolved, there are disparities in application of the latest scientific advances in the clinical care that people with obesity receive. Widespread adoption of current findings, consistency of care and expertise in obesity care varies by health care professional and institution.

Symptom course of depression for individuals who dropped out of treatment and those who completed treatment. In the dropout group, there is an initial decrease in symptoms while the patients were still in treatment, which tapers off as they drop out. For completers, there is close to a linear change over time. This suggests there is a relation between the more that an individual continues to participate in ICBT and their depressive symptom improvement.

5-20-2024 Study sheds light on bacteria associated with pre-term birth
Researchers from North Carolina State University have found that multiple species of Gardnerella, bacteria sometimes associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and pre-term birth, can coexist in the same vaginal microbiome. The findings, published in mSystems, add to the emerging picture of Gardnerella’s effects on human health. Gardnerella is a group of anaerobic bacteria that are commonly found in the vaginal microbiome. Higher levels of the bacteria are a signature of BV and associated with higher risk of pre-term birth, but it is also found in women who have no sign
