Hi Laurie, I was just wondering if you have a recommendation about the most effective method of birth control. I want to stay away from chemicals is possible. Cora

Well, Cora, there are a few options, though not many, available to you. There are chemicals in just about everything, from birth control pills to spermicides to the latex used in condoms and diaphragms! I am excited about a new method of Natural Family Planning called PFT 1-2-3 ((Personal Fertility and Reproductive Health System). I spoke personally to people involved with this product, and it looks quite promising. By simply licking a hand-held plastic triangle outfitted with colored lenses, you can determine your day of ovulation and fertile days. Thus, it's helpful not just for those avoiding pregnancy, but also for those planning a pregnancy. Reportedly, some gentleman used the device on a date to determine if his girlfriend was "safe" for the evening. Of course, it does not detect diseases, just the chance of pregnancy.

Good to hear from you again, Cora. Here's the scoop on the triangles: They cost about $75, and they are about 97-98% effective in predicting the time of ovulation, according to the literature. Of course, it's up to the user to abstain or use an alternate method during the "danger" times. Let me know if you need to order a kit. Take Care Cora, Papgal

Dear Cora , Sorry my reply is late, but I've not yet found a reputable dealer whom I can recommend to you vis-a-vis the PFT 1-2-3 triangles. You may, however, contact them directly at: Chain Reaction, Inc. Medical Research Group http://www.pft123.com

 

Dear Victoria, As for HIV, while there continues to be new breakthroughs almost monthly concerning drug "cocktails" (mixtures) which boost compromised immune systems, those at risk continue to be the same as when this whole thing started - those who practice risky behavior. Male homosexuals and I.V. drug users who have not or will not protect themselves during certain practices, and those who sleep with them, continue to contract the disease. At least we don't have to worry about mosquitoes anymore, but the jury is still out on toilet seats (just kidding - but use those paper covers anyway).

Dear Josh,

As my trusted partner once said (but I don't think he made it up) "it's not the meat, it's the motion." What that means, I have no idea.

Seriously, though, some women actually prefer a wider penis, not necessarily longer. It seem to "get the job done" better, if you know what I mean.

Dear Papgal,

Can too much sex with a larger penis stretch you out? And after women give birth doesn't the vaginal opening become wider? IS there a way to remedy this without surgery? I heard that in the olden days women would use alum because it was a vaginal constrictor and it, at least temporarily, caused the vagina to contract. Also what are the surgical procedures like and how much do they cost....just out of curiosity...

Hi again, Cora. Your question about vaginal tone is a good one. Unfortunately many women do complain about feeling "loose" down there, particularly after having had a vaginal delivery. The vagina does naturally have a large potential space so I can't imagine a penis alone would make it any larger, even a penis belonging to a man who is well endowed. A baby, however, can stretch the vagina and the opening to the vagina, called the introitus. I've seen women with gaping vaginas where you can nearly see the cervix without a speculum. Most of these women have had multiple pregnancies (like five or more children). What can be done? I'm not too familiar with surgical procedures. I imagine you could tighten the opening by pulling the excess skin together. I would first suggest exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. One kind of exercise is called Kegel exercises. A woman can do these by sitting in a chair with her legs slightly apart. Then, she should contract the pelvic muscles by pressing the buttocks together as though stopping and starting the flow of urination. She can check how strong the muscles are by tightening them around her finger. The more she is able to squeeze her finger with the vaginal walls, the stronger the muscles. Repeat these throughout the day, doing them twenty times each set, four times a day. Many women report success with this and they don't have to resort to surgery. It's best to avoid the knife.

----i.e. gaping vaginas (as per your last response),

While at the same time you've been able to actually see the cervix of these gaping women without a speculum, I have another question: Have you ever seen a set of car keys? Please let me know, as this has been "driving" me crazy for months.

Dear Webmistress,

Dear me, where to start? Your question opens up a whole "can of worms" so to speak (although another nurse actually saw this can), but I'll try to narrow it down . . . could it have been the guy who hadn't washed his penis for two weeks, got mold from his toilet on it, then wanted to know if it all was sexually transmitted -- even though he hadn't had a partner in some time, needless to say? Or was it the feminine product that some lady forgot she had inserted a month previously, and the ensuing stench when said green slimy item was brought out into the open air? Perhaps one of the many examinations where I suddenly notice tiny somethings moving in the genitalia area . . . well, I could just go on and on. It seems like I have many gross stories, but for some reason l can't think of any more right now. Hope this holds you till next time!

---Love, Papgal

Dear Papgirl,

I am planning on getting pregnant in the next few months and hoping that when the time comes for the delivery that I can have an at home birth with a midwife. I am also almost forty so I know that my chances of a complicated birthing do go up. Please tell me what kinds of things I should consider in this situation and also how to find a good midwife?

I have to admit, Laurie, some of those gross stories I have heard from you in the past have really impressed me of the importance of good genital hygiene (and at least remembering where to put the kitchen utensils).

So do not hesitate to tell us more since it may provide a lesson to whoever reads.

Hello,

I'm back. I apologize for the delay. No excuses, I'm just plain lazy. Now, I have many questions to respond to.

Let's see, first I will talk about the new sanitary protection item on the market . The "Instead" was a real breakthrough development in the last year. I am told it was designed by a woman athlete who needed something to use on her menses so she could "jump around a lot". It's basically a size 80 diaphragm with a little bit larger pouch to cup the blood as falls down from the uterus, through the cervix ,and into the vagina. Although I personally found it to be usable, I have heard several complaints from a few women who have tried it. One complaint is that when it is removed it can be a bit messy, blood splattering everywhere as the spring releases. If you are careful, you can prevent this by cupping your hands around it as you remove it. Another woman said that it leaked while she was using it. Apparently her cervix is tipped and the Instead wasn't covering it adequately. It was also uncomfortable for her. Luckily, she is a Nurse Practitioner and she was able to remove it herself without any assistance. During my practice, I've had to remove stuck diaphragms from a few patients so I imagine I may see a patient or two in the future with a stuck Instead inside her (not any worse than other items I've retrieve from other vaginas). Another concern I have, which may be unfounded, is the possible risk of endometriosis. If the Instead is used at night or during intercourse there is the possibility of retrograde menses. This is one theory of the etiology of endometriosis. Endometriosis is the condition whereby uterine tissue implants itself outside the uterus and can cause a variety of symptoms from painful intercourse to painful menses to a plainly painful abdomen. Other than these concerns, I think the Instead is great. Perhaps there is a tiny reduction in the risk of toxic shock syndrome compared to using tampons.

Next was the question about the use of midwives during pregnancy. I think midwives are the best, and if I were to get pregnant I wouldn't hesitate to have one for my delivery. In fact, home births with midwives have a much lower complication rate than those with MDs in the hospital. Midwives, generally are much more in tune with the whole birthing experience. They understand women's needs and concerns and are, in my opinion, better equipped to assist the woman with her birth (key word here is assist). So many doctors think they are the ones who are delivering the baby. I know, I worked in labor and delivery in the hospital. I highly don't recommend it.

Last, I finally have a question about pap smears. Of course the woman who wrote this question was the one who first taught me about pap smears and she knows the answer already. What is the difference between a Low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial lesion verus a High Grade Intraepithelial Lesion? The latter is much worse to have on a pathology report. It all has to do with the amount of tissue at the cervix that has dysplastic (pre-cancerous) tissue. Low grade means that approximately one third of the epithelium (cervical tissue) is involved. High grade means that more is involved. The worst high grade report can be a precusor to invasion, meaning carcinoma or cancer (not good). It's important that a woman who has a pap smear with an abnormal reading, such as the above, have further examination. A colposcopy is recommended. I do a number of these procedures each week. During colposcopy, a clinician looks at the cervix with a high powered magnification instrument, called a colposcope. If she sees any abnormal areas, she biopsies those areas. Biopsies then confirm whether or not the tissue is cancerous.

Thanks for all the challenging questions. I promise to check in more often in the future.

Love, Pap

Dear Papgal,

What kinds of things could be related to a radical decrease in sexual drive. A few years ago I thought about making love all the time. Now, even though I love my partner a great deal, sex is one of the last things that comes to mind. I had a check-up recently and medically everything seems fine. What other kinds of things could cause this loss of appetite?

Dear Sabina There are so many causes for a decrease in libido. Since everything is okay medically, perhaps the cause has to do with emotional or psychological issues. Are you able to spend much time together where you both don't feel tired or stressed out? Exercise and outdoor activities done as a couple can be a big booster of the endorphins which can promote sexual feelings. I've heard that Ginko Biloba is a herbal sex stimulant. But really just spending time together doing fun activities is the best way I've found to increase sexual desire. Let me get back to you with other ideas. I'll ask around. I'd like to know more ways to help this problem as well. Any suggestions out there?

Ginko Biloba, I thought was for memory so it is interesting that it is also for libido but thank-you Papgal for telling me about that. I will look into it. Actually I am feeling a lot of tension at the moment and I am sure that is partially responsible for it.

Dear Jamine,

Yes, it is true, you can get gonorrhea in the eye. It tends to grow easily on any mucosal surface which includes the eye. However, this form of gonorrhea is very rare. The more common areas to be affected are the vagina/cervix, the urethra, the throat and the anus.

Dear Mistress V. I haven't heard of it taking that long to test for HIV. In fact, one of the newer tests, the PCR test, can detect the antigen (the virus) within days of exposure. This is the test they use for rape victims and people who need testing and results done immediately. I think it is expensive though and not readily available. The only answer I can think of that might be related to what you are asking is that maybe there are newer strains of the virus that are harder to test for, thus staying "dormant" for some time before they can be detected by a blood test.

Love, Pap.

Dear Mysterious Stranger -- Yes, believe it or not, men can and do get yeast infections. No special seminars or training to get this. We commonly refer to it as "jock itch". Yeast, yeast, yeast. It's everywhere! It's in the foods we eat, the beer we drink. It's not sexually transmitted but skin-to-skin contact with someone who has it can be irritating. It lives in the throat for many people and sometimes oral sex can promote its growth in one's partner. What can prevent and treat yeast infections? Besides the usual assortment of antifungal cremes and pills, some alternative treatments include acidophilus (found in yogurt), garlic supplements and tea tree oil. --pap

Dear Laurie,

Of late I found myself itching around my vaginal/inner thigh area. I ignored the itching for some time but eventually I noticed that my inner leg creases were lined with dry, scaly, flaking skin. It left pink patches of the skin behind when it flaked off (they didn't feel raw though). This problem has made me very nervous. What is it? What should I do now? And what should I do in the future to prevent it from occurring? I'm quite diligent about genital hygiene so I can't imagine how it happened. Thanks a lot, Liz.

Dear Liz - - The most common cause of vulvar/vaginal itching I encounter with my patients is candidiasis or just plain "yeast". You can try to help alleviate the situation by putting an antifungal creme on it, like "gynelotrimin". Mycologue, a prescription creme might also help. If the symptoms persist, it could be a variety of conditions from a simple allergic reaction to something like a new soap or detergent. Sanitary pads often have perfumes and other chemicals that can irritate the skin. Psoriasis is another condition that has symptoms like you are describing. You may need to consult a dermatologist. Truly yours, Papgal

Dear Papgal, I just found out that I have HVP (genital warts). I have a few questions to ask. 1)Can I spread the disease when there are no warts present? 2)I've been having frequent vaginal discharge, but it is not smelly or a different color, just white. Could that be another disease or the HVP? 3)I have a new boyfriend and we haven't gotten sexually active yet, how do I tell him?

Hi All! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I had a few things occupying my mind the last few months, like my wedding and honeymoon. Now, I see that there are a few questions I've left unanswered for quite a while, one about HPV and one about doing a pelvic exam on a virgin. First, I'll tell you a little about HPV (human papilloma virus). This is a wart virus and there are many different strains of this particular virus. Some strains are pretty benign but can be problematic because they cause unsightly warty growths on the genitalia. Some strains are invisible to the naked eye and some strains are more virulent and can promote cancer - cancer of the vulva , of the cervix, of the vagina and of the penis. It's difficult to know which strains you have. Getting pap smears and speculum exams regularly helps in diagnosing abnormalities. HPV is a tricky virus. From the time of exposure to the time of developing warts can be from weeks to years. Experts surmise that up to eighty percent of the population have been exposed to this virus, not all people developing symptoms. Honesty, in my opinion, is always the best way to approach this dilemma in a new relationship. Unfortunately, there is a lot of unknown information in this area. Secondly, the question about being a virgin and having a pelvic exam done. I've had many patients who were virgins and I've done a pelvic exam on them. It's always best to be very gentle and to use the smallest size speculum. With care and caution, the hymen will remain intact.

Is hpv something that can be in our system for a long time and not manifest? How do you know you have it if there are no symptoms? Is it only active when warts are present? What about sexual relations with a non infected person or an affected person? Does it affect you for life? Is there any medication now or is there one possibly that can eliminate the virus?

I feel like small tremors or "vibrations" inside my vagina every 10-15 minutes. No, I don't have anything stuck up there, but I was concerned what can cause this or is it normal.

Also, my second question is: I gave myself an internal vaginal exam with my fingers and felt as if I had a small growth on the roof of the vagina. It felt like a small pimple. Can you explain?

I have a strange question, but I am pretty concerned about it. I was wondering if prescription yeast infection creme can be harmful to a condom in the same way petroleum is? I recently had sex, totally forgot I had the creme in, and now I am afraid that it prevented the condom from working correctly. Thanks- concerned

I'm trying to figure out if vaginal warts can be passed onto a baby during birth. I have had 2 "experts" in this field with differing beliefs. One states yes, the other no. What is your belief and where would I find more information on this? I have found tons of info. relating to warts, but none that clarify my question. Thank you.

My question doesn't really apply to birth planning it more or less applies to if the baby my girlfriend is carrying is mine or not. How can i tell if it's mine or not? The doctor that we saw said that the date that she concieved was during the week that she was having her period, but she swears that she did not have sex that week at all. Now can you give me a good web site that can help me determine when approximately she may have concieved? But www.myhealthcare.com was not helpful at all, the estimations were off by 1-2 weeks. thanks for being helpful.

Hi Victoria, I haven't been back here in years. I noticed that there are a lot of sleazy questions. I feel uncomfortable answering these. I really don't want my name associated with that part of this webpage. I hope you understand. It has nothing to do with you because I still think you are a wonderful person and friend. Maybe we could rewrite this. I'd like to respond to the legitimate questions that you sent me by email. For now, it's probably best to remove my name, if that is possible. Thanks, Laurie

Hi again Victoria Please take my name off this page. Maybe eliminate the page altogether? Please, please - I really feel uncomfortable about what people have been writing. Also, it doesn't look good when you type in "papgal" on the yahoo search engine and there's obscene language. I don't want my name associated with this. I hope you understand. I think the rest of the pages are great and maybe we can figure out something different for me. I'm not really a papgal any longer.

My husband of 10yrs loves oral sex, but lately he says I have a different taste, I also noticed a diffence in my scent, it is not bad or foul, just different.

Hi Laurie, Since this morning I've had a brownish discharge found in my underwear. It's not red, but it looks brownish red. My period's not due for over a week (I'm on the birth control pill so it's my period's pretty regular). I was just wondering what it could be and if it's anything to be concerned about. Melissa

Dear Laurie, I don't know if you cover male anatomy. My son is two years old and appeared to have a yeast infection, topical penis head reddish and the skin fold appeared red and puffie and slightly seperated instead of laying smoothly against each other. He was treated with topical nystatin, two weeks later he was cultered and put on bactroban topical for possible staff, which did grow slowly, then a topical anti-inflamatory. Two weeks later he's pulling at his diaper, the skin is still pinkish and separated not smoothly together as it had always been. I was referred to a dermatologish today who told me everything is normal, not to use anything on him. Everything is not okay, he's clearly still bothered by it and his skin has not returned to how it once was. I should mention my son is autistic and being treated for excessive yeast build up in his body. My friend (very reliable, holistic) counseled she thinks he's irritated because his body is eliminating the excess yeast from his system via his urine? I would greatly appreciate any thouhts or referrals you would send ,my way Sincerly Kimberly
