Breast & Ovary complaints

[analrapist]

I considered an IUD a few years back but heard too many horror stories and it scared me off.

My mother is infertile because of scarring from an IUD. Consequence-free, they are not.

That would be an added bonus for me. Hope mine makes me completely infertile tbh (especially since I'm more than a little tokophobic and live in a red state).

If every girl with big boobs always complains about back problems then shouldn't the solution be to strengthen the back muscles?

It is!
Unless your breasts are truly, freakishly large (and no, I don't mean "Anything above a D-cup) there is a huge benefit to working out, getting stronger, and going braless at home.

I’m so glad you brought this up because it’s 100% accurate IMO.

Doesn't the uterus play a role in working memory, too?

I’ve had anaemia my whole life. I take iron supplements daily, but even though my doctor says it’s helping I don’t really believe him, because I still often feel weak and light headed. I’ve recently gone off my birth control because I’m trying to get pregnant, but thankfully it doesn’t seem to have made anything worse (yet).

What's your diet like?

What's your diet like?

Carb heavy. Mostly rice and vegetable sauces with whole grain bread, sometimes chicken, even less often beef. Never fish or pork.
I’ve tried eating red meat every day, it only helped a little. I find the supplements easier to manage than entirely changing my diet.

More likely the problem is genetic. Leukaemia runs in my mother’s family and anaemia has many of the same symptoms so I get screened regularly. Thankfully the tests always come back negative, but it doesn’t rule out something else working poorly.

And they're using tools originally meant to remove bullets.

Excuse me what

My breasts are taut, muscular, and flat because I am a man. My only complaint is they're not much fun to play with.

 

[seri0us]

I wish my boobs were even.

That's pretty common, I've opened up various fake "medical consulting" things online where I never answer, I'm just curious what people are worried about.

The pincers they use to insert IUDs were originally meant to pluck out bullets. The design was only updated in 2020.

Edit: here is a company selling an alternative product, along with the history.

I read somewhere that the original design of tampons was tubular pieces of cotton to put inside bullet wounds. Then one day, a nurse that was treating soldiers saw these things and thought "Hold on".

Listen ladies, if you're having troubles with suspicious lumps in your breasts, send me a pic of them (exposed, frontal) and I'll give you a free consultation. Trust me, I'm a certified doctor and it'll be strictly confidential and professional.

Hey fellow women, have you ever heard such a clever comment like this before? I haven’t, not when I was 16, 20, 25, 30 or now. Not in DMs, or in person, or across the street or from a passing car. Not when I was pregnant, holding the hand of my toddler.

I do love an original incel, I mean man.

I have always wondered is the boob flattener more effective than a hand test truly or was that made just to avoid sexual harassment cases. I don’t know much about my own health much less women’s.

You've had really noticeable lumps in your breasts for 20 years? So noticeable that doctors were offering you free consultations on the street?
You might wanna actually get em checked out. Lucky I'm here. I'll be very respectful, never fear.

Maybe they're more effective for boobs that are mostly fat, easier to image or something.

I thought mammograms were an xray or some other internal imaging thing to detect cancer that might not be detectable otherwise?

 

[anliteralidiot]

I've had my boobs flattened, and it's for something they might not possibly feel. But it's mostly for older women who don't have as dense of tissue.

Spoiler: context

My right one was really warm to the touch, tender, and my left was not. My grandma had died the night before they had this sudden weird spike, so that made me more existential and worried. My PCP couldn't feel anything, but she agreed that it was worrisome to hear those kinds of symptoms.

I got the flattening, and an ultrasound at a breast care center, where they didn't allow men in. It sucked because my husband is a literal saint, and I'm a nervous wreck, but the nurses were very nice so it wasn't too bad.

ETA: i fucking hate how my period BPD creeps up on me!!! I'll be feeling like absolute BPD types of shit: clingy over my husband, jealous over random shit at work, the works. And I won't think of my period until I feel a cramp.

Your whole life, even as a kid? If so, that is something to dig into a little further. I'd ask your primary care doc to run the standard tests for an anemia work-up if they haven't already. If those are clear, I'd ask for a referral to hematology so they can rule out anything more. It's possible you have something called a thalassemia. It's a genetic condition where one of the units in your red blood cells doesn't work correctly and that causes them to malfunction slightly. The minor ones show up as a persistent anemia throughout life that never goes away and is poorly responsive to treatment. It would be something worth knowing if you are going to have kids since most of them are hereditary.

Period BPD? I think that's PMDD, dawg. It's the stereotypical "PMS" symptoms that everyone makes fun of and thinks never really happens.

 

[Sun Sucker]

Over the years my period itself has gotten shorter but its effects before & after have gotten worse. Boobs ache for multiple weeks before I get it, have extreme sensitivity and therefore aversion to some foods afterwards. The emotional side of things have to be the absolute worst, I cry at the most nonsensical things, have random anger spikes, and already having ADHD on top of that means I find it very hard to focus whenever it arrives. I don't hate it like some women do, willing to go through it for the simple potential of finding someone I'd like to have a family with one day, I just wish I could get shit done quicker.

 

[little meow meow]

i take my birth control to skip periods. it’s not because they’re annoying or anything ( they are, but. ), but because i’m a bpd bitch and it mixes with my pms to make me actually insane and insufferable. it’s the worst and i wish i didn’t have to take it.

in other news, does anyone else’s whole vagina hurt when they’re on their period? it’s not just the vulva but inside too to the point it’s extremely uncomfortable. i’ve tried googling anything about it but i don’t really see anything so i’m worried it might be something serious.
