Women's health (TW)

Women's health (TW)

Hello fellow forum dwellers,

I had no idea where to put this or what to call it but I think it needs a space... (so yes feel free to edit or move, but I don't think I've breached any guidelines @Ru-bee @rav3n @tyme not sure who else)

This is a place where you can talk all things specific to the female reproductive system or body...

  • Periods
  • Cervical Screening Tests (new name for pap smears)
  • Menopause
  • Hormones
  • Fertility issues

----------------------------------------------------

So here I'll go first

I'm due for a cervical screening test and I'm booked in for about 12 hours from now...

They have these home kits but I can't be on my own after so I opted to have a female doctor do it, that and to check something else out...

I can't even handle tampons without completely being triggered... let alone anything remotely medical!

Yeah I'm scared...

There's a library next door almost and so after I'm going to either start a new sheet on my spreadsheet for the upcoming election or work on my photobook project... as a way to settle... and probably play bubble shooter...

I turned up at an urgent care clinic today for a rash that started underneath my stomach and spread.

5 scripts, 3 creams, 2 antibiotic tablets for both a bacterial and fungal infection to try and get it under control.

Told that if the rash keeps spreading to go to emergency.

Oh dear. I hope the rash goes away soon @avant-garde

As a person well experienced with the effects of Policy Lag, I was scrolling in the hope of seeing glimmers.

This isn’t it.
