fibroid tumors and endometriosis
Maybe you can give a little explanation/help for these cramps?
First off I want to say I'm 22 and I know my body fairly well normally. That being said for the past few months I've been having these odd sharp cramps sort of like menstrual cramps (which I get very painfully) but I can be weeks away from my period when I get them. Sometimes these cramps will be in my lower abdomen, sometimes in the same area as menstrual cramps and sometimes shooting up the vagina it seems. A few times I've been walking and had to stop and wait for the cramp to pass or pull over when driving if it's really intense. They last anywhere from 20 seconds to a bunch at once for about 10 minutes.
Any advice on this?
I'll be seeing a doctor soon for a pap test.
In my family there is history of:
cervical cancer (mother)
fibroid tumors (mother and grandmother)
endometriosis (mother and possibly grandmother not sure)
diabetes (Uncle (dads side) and Grandmother)
thank you for answering.
I have had very similar issues in the past hun. See your doctor and have a trans-vaginal ultrasound, to rule out ovarian cysts, which sound like a likelihood for your situation. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Endometriosis at a particularly young age, both of which can cause menstrual-like cramping, in a range of severity at any given time. The pain you are experiencing sound very much like the pain I had when suffering from the cysts. It may be worthwhile to see an Endocrinologist to rule out hormonal imbalances. Good Luck hun, and feel free to email me with ?'s.
Get Intimate Again
All you hear about is male sexual dysfunction. Well women have their problems too.
They can have chronic (recurring) or acute (all the time) lack or loss of sexual function. Surveys show that approximately 43 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 59 suffer some sort of sexual dysfunction.
There symptoms can be:
1. Lack of interest in sex and therefore they avoid it altogether
2. Unable to be aroused, either through physical contact or emotional suggestion
3. Lack of orgasms, none or delayed
4. Pain during sex or very tight vaginal muscles that prevent intercourse completely
The cause:
A woman's sex drive and libido is different from a mans.
They can be aroused through mental suggestions and through physical touching. The blood flow and her hormone levels are both responsible for this. If anything disturbs this, the process cannot be completed.
1. Depression
2. Stress
3. Anxiety
4. Fatigue
5. Marital problems (any relationship)
6. Menopause
7. Insufficient Hormone levels
8. Surgery (hysterectomy)
9. Vaginal or pelvic infections
10. Fibroid tumors
11. Endometriosis
12. Arthritis
13. Thyroid disease (Grave's Syndrome)
14. Medications (birth control pills, anti-depressants, allergy medications)
How to Prevent this:
Make time for yourself.
Go to the gym (if possible), ride a bike, take a nice relaxing walk
Do deep breathing exercises to relieve stress
Spend time alone with your mate
Talk to a doctor who is knowledgable about this and sympathetic to this problem
Ways to treat this:
Try Replens Vaginal Moisturizer every 3 days
Some people are helped by Premarin Vaginal Cream, only by prescription
Estrogen Replacement Therapy - pills that are taken every day for a few years
Vaginal dilators - a small device (about the size of a tampon) used to prevent and repair vaginal spasms
Pelvic exercise - Do your Kegel's everyday This is a muscle that you can contract while doing almost anything else. If done right, it can help with orgasms and the pain of vaginal spasms. Do five them wait, and then 5 more, everyday!
Sex therapy can sometimes help. Talking about your problems helps some people. Either alone, or with your partner.
