Breast & Ovary complaints

[Android raptor]

I want to go to an OBGYN just to see if there's anything I can do to ease some of my pre-period BPD. I get depressed, lose all motivation for everything, and I barely realize that I'm due to bleed until my thyroid nodules swell, and I can feel them.

Would trying the minipill be an option? That's what I tried first to make sure my body didn't have a bad reaction to BC before getting an IUD. It wasn't the godsend the IUD was, but it didn't make anything worse so I figured it was safe to proceed with the IUD.

Try talc or baby powder, It helps me now that my girls got bigger from the treatment I am currently undergoing (from 32E to 36G, but I also gained 15kg overall), You can also rub on yourself some vaseline before fitting your bra.

Around here it gets really hot (like 113F/45C hot) and I also get irritated under the boobs even after I use mostly sport bras nowadays, so I feel your pain of going thought more than 1 bra a day, but I had rather have skin irritation than being impaled by the underwire

Maybe repurposing the creams cyclists use to prevent saddle sores would work? It's kind of fighting the same fight - a bacterial utopia in a sensitive area, coupled with chafing and hitting the limits on how much moisture can be wicked away. Chamois creams do a few things to help - moisturize and soften the skin to keep fabrics from rubbing being the main one.

There's a couple basic formulations - European style is probably more helpful here since it leaves a cooling sensation, but the scent tends to be a bit stronger, at least in the regular formulas (I like Chamois Butt'r Eurostyle but it doesn't smell so great to most people, and yes, most have stupid pun names...) A while back they started selling formulations for women trying to take into account the different chemistry involved, but not my area of expertise.

Most people don't really get what those creams are for, they're a preventative you put on beforehand. If they can protect someone in a bicycle race for 4-6 hours maybe they'd help with something similar.

Generally after getting a wax it is advised to avoid using scented shower gels, wear tight clothing and not to go swimming for several days afterward. Then provided you exfoliate regularly and keep the area moisturized it should keep ingrowns at bay.

I follow all of the above but thick hair is both a blessing and a curse, I suppose.

And men shit up sites with their cockbains to the point that the Salon boards have to hand out bans when you go around talking about wanting to fuck every woman that lives as if we don't all already know it. Women and men BOTH need spaces and you can quit crying about it because women will still be around talking about our problems. You have plenty of spaces to have Guy Talk, literally just make a thread in General Discussion, while spaces for Girl Talk tend to get overridden by MEN in drag and interrupted by MEN who feel the absolute need to come in to make obnoxious jokes or complain about us when you can just not click it. That's the whole reason this board is around in the first place!

I wish reaction gifs weren't looked down on in this moment because I would give you a big THANK YOU Michael from The Office gif.

glad to see IUD talk, where I live they are really offered as a last resort if you haven't pushed out a kid yet. after 3 years of chronic pain and non stop bleeding they finally put it in which was an absolute miracle - because they also did a laproscopy at the same time, i got to have a sleep during it - then my second iud i thought i would be brave and stay awake for it. never again. i even went to a specialised clinic to have it placed and i still had a vom because i was in so much pain.
i totally recommend it for my gal pals but with the stipulation they go under for it.

Having full DD tits in the summer sucks ASS.

I'd love nothing more than to get my tubes tied or a hysterectomy someday. Also underboob sweat is the worst.

 

[Doppelmonger]

Other than the underboob sweat, the wet sensation I get between my hair and neck is uncomfortable to say the least. Most of my life I had short hair cuts but just recently I decided to let it grow to shoulder length and I am kinda regretting it in this heat. Ponytails and buns help a lot but I am yet to get completely used to it.

Maybe repurposing the creams cyclists use to prevent saddle sores would work?

I have not thought of that. I will try to get a tube of that later today. Thanks for the suggestion!

I like boobs. Small boobs are neat too, boobjobs are a tool of the devil.

This is my worthless contribution to a thread where women talk about the sort of issues with boobs that men don't find interesting.

On a more serious note, my mother had breast cancer, and she and all her friends who got it too went to mammograms regularely. Not a single one got an early detection through them, it was always discovered by them feeling the lumps.
I wonder if that early detection thing they push is just for another regular examination that they can charge your insurance with, not because it is effective.

Big proponent of more ladies going into the Autism Thunderdome and triggering dudes there by reminding them that embryos aren't people.

Just a few things I've learned over my many decades on this planet.
Many women are worried that their small breasts won't be enough to breastfeed. I had AA sized boobs when I was younger. Not even big enough to fit the smallest size bra. When I got pregnant they grew to a (very) small B and they were PLENTY big enough to breastfeed. They completely disappeared after I stopped breastfeeding each time and looked, no joke, just like spaniels ears. Just completely flat skin flaps. Still managed to make enough milk.
The other thing is, I had my first babies in my early 20's. It wasn't difficult. I could handle the night feeds and exhaustion easily, I had plenty of physical and emotional energy to think up exciting adventures, teach them to read, and to make gardens and camps and secret huts in the woods that we could sleep out in. My last 2 were 47, and 49. This was MUCH MUCH more difficult. The energy levels were not the same, I could no longer run about all day, then dig in the garden, then read 16 storybooks in a row whilst simultaneously making and serving dinner, feeding the baby and bathing and pj-ing a couple of grimy and wiggly boys. My youngest 2 could run faster than me by the time they were 3 and knew that if they took Mama's stick she couldn't walk very fast. They had to be parented differently because they had very different parents! I now worry about their future with elderly parents. The quality of your eggs is very much a worry at that age, they have to live their whole lives with the consequences of my ignorance of fertility. Nobody told me that women often have a 'fertility surge' right before menopause that causes those tag-along kids that are 10+ years younger than their siblings. My second to last baby's in-utero nickname was "Perry" as in "We thought the missed periods were Peri-menopause". Our youngest baby's was "Oh FUCK! It's not menopause this time either!"
Dont get me wrong, You adore your kids from the get-go, but planning their births and how many you have, is a Huge improvement over Surprise! Your family just got bigger!

That was literally me i was the last one to be farted out. My partner agrees that we aren't having kids, i don't want them period, i want to get a hystorectomy and get it over with but literally no one will do it "becausse you might regret it!". Bitch please you chop of dicks and tits left right and centre without a care in the world, if i dont want kids why can't i just have the damn surgery.

 

[Doppelmonger]

why can't i just have the damn surgery.

You forgot to say that it is a life saving surgery and it is needed to avoid whatever the dysphoria of the day is, duh!

 

[Android raptor]

I've talked to even women who've had kids that had to fight just to get their tubes tied. I think a lot of people greatly underestimate how hard it is for women to get sterilized to this day.

I've said before but I completely get why girls are trooning out en masse, who the fuck would want to be a woman with the shit way they're treated and not even given control of their own bodies (especially if they don't want to reproduce). It's better in the US that a lot of the world, but it's still far from perfect especially in red states (which also tend to have higher maternal mortality).

My complaint is that my tits are small. I have accepted them for the most part, but I admit that some days I wish they were bigger, especially when I try on a super cute shirt or dress that looks off because I don't fill it out right.

Mammograms are useful, but if you have a doctor who dismisses your reasonable concerns, then you are fucked.

Mammograms are less useful if you have particularly dense breasts or naturally fibroid-full breasts. But again, if your doctor is a dismissive bitch, you're fucked.

I will never forgive my mother's doc who dismissed her for 2 years after she raised a concern. Oh, oop, I don't have to, because he's dead of liver cancer. Rot in hell.

I’m just glad I’m small enough that bralettes always work fine. So comfy. And I get to stay cool even in the summer. I can just wear something with a foam liner if I need more filling. Yeah it’s padding, but so what.

Tbh I wish breasts were more desexualized in the US so women could go topless when it's hot out just like men without having to worry about getting arrested or creeped on. Plus it would make it easier for moms who are breastfeeding.

I know it's legal in some cities, but not everywhere and you still risk harassment/etc even where it is.

I know going topless is desexualized closer to the equator, but at this point the southern US especially has pretty much the same climate like half the year. We might as well get the same ability to go topless in the heat without anyone giving a fuck.
