What is an episiotomy?\n\nAn episiotomy is an incision performed between the vagina and the rectum that is used to increase the opening of the vagina to assist in delivery of a baby.\n\nUses\nPhysicians use episiotomies to lessen perineal trauma, minimize postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction by reducing anal sphincter muscle damage, reduce the loss of blood at delivery, and protect against neonatal trauma. In many cases though, episiotomies cause all of these problems.\n\nEpisiotomies may be indicated if:\n\nthere is any sign of fetal distress while the baby is in the birth canal \na delivery occurs too quickly for the vagina to stretch naturally \nthe baby's head is too large for the opening \nthe baby's shoulders are stuck \nit is a breech birth or forceps delivery

it is very common in men for sperm to build up in the epididmus which can cause this type of build up and/or pressure. The epididimus is crescent shaped and lays along your testicle.this is where your sperm go to get their tails. it is almost like an assembly line and they go through many processes before moving into your testicles where they are stored until ejaculation. you may also feel extreme almost painful pressure when ejaculating. Many mens testicles also pull into their bodies as they are closer to climax or when ejaculating.

An orgasm is a physiological event that occurs at the highest point in sexual excitement and is usually associated with a wave of intense pleasure. During orgasm, both males and females experience involuntary muscle contractions. In males, contractions of the muscles of the prostate, vas deferens and seminal vesicles induce emission (movement of semen into the urethra) and ejaculation. Females experience rhythmic contractions of the vagina and uterus, thought to facilitate the transportation of sperm. Also called climax .

It's not too bad. They put you to sleep. They make 4 small incisions. One just over the belly button, and 3 in your upper right abdomen. They pump you full of air and use a scope to guide them. Then they remove it and sew you up. \n\nThe worst part I found was the gas. You get serious gas pains. Take my advice and just fart. Don't be shy about it cuz it's the only way. The gas pains lasted for about 2 days. They wouldn't even let me leave the hospital until I farted. (nurse's exact words: U cant leave until you fart)\n\nAfter u expell the gas its not bad at all.\n\n\nIt's way better than that horrid gall stone pain!!!!

there are sooo many bad things....that hole is for out only it is controlled by a muscle called the sphinxer(sp?) and that hole contracts when u poop, anal sex loosens that muscle and u inturn lose control of u'r bowel movements(not after one time, but in time)...u can also get hemorroids(sp?) which never go away unless u get surgery to cut them out, they get inflammed and bleed and are very dangerous....also after anal sex u will be constipated..my friend said she couldn't take a dump for over a week so she had to go to the doctor and get a laxative tablet to put up her butt...u will get small tears which are open and leave u vulnerable to infections and diseases....if u still decide to do it...u need to wear a condom and use lots of K-Y Jelly...not baby oil or vaseline pls....good luck- and just say no if u don't want to...if he doesn't respect u'r wishes then he's not worth it anyway :-)

I went through different types of labor, several different scenarios, so here you go:\n\nContractions feel like someone is squezzing you really hard around your back and tummy. They really do hurt.\n\nWater breaking just feels like water gushing (or dribbling). Doesn't hurt a bit.\n\nGetting an epidural feels like getting your blood taken for a blood test, then you feel like cool water is running through your body. Minimum pain, and you are REALLY happy to get the epidural.\n\nOnce you have the epidural, you might still feel some pain if it wasn't doen right or if your spine is crooked. I felt pain at the top of my uterus. \n\nIf labor is induced and you get no epidural, labor feels like you are going to die and it's the end of the world. Really unmanageable, so do not let them induce you without having an anesthisiologist right there, or get the epidural first.\n\nIf you get drugs to dull the pain (not an epidural), it doesn't mean ou won't feel pain. You may not see clearly, and you will not remember much, but you will contniue screaming the whole time. (My husband almost passed out listening to me.)\n\nTransition feels like your perineum and everything down there is stretching, stretching. You may feel hemmeroids pop out at this point. (Even with an epidural, you still feel pressure.)\n\nIf you get an epidural, pushing the baby out doesn't feel like a darn thing. You can look down and see the baby coming out and be relaxed.\n\nIf you don't get an epidural, pushing the baby out STILL doesn't hurt as much as the earlier parts of labor. In fact, I loved it, because you are finally DOING something productive, finally pushing it out. Also, the pressure of the baby kinds numbs things a bit.\n\nDelivering the placents feel like a minor contraction. Not bad. \n\nBeing sewn up... if you have an epidural, you don't feel it. Otherwise, you get a shot of painkiller and it's not bad at all.\n\nFinally, holding your baby in your arms feels WONDERFUL if you had a good labor experience. \nIf you had a bad labor experience, you may feel very depressed. I had 2 good experiences and 1 bad experience. It took me 2 years to get over the bad one.\nRemember that no one is rating you based on your labor. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. All labors are equal and just as good. Be proud that you made it through!\n\nGood luck!

Ask your doctor about stripping the membranes.  It is basically a rough exam where he/she pushes around inside of you to help things move along.  It is uncomfortable, but well worth it to get the little bun out of the oven.  Worked like a charm for me with my second one.

What is an epidural and why is it helpful?\nAn epidural injection places anti-inflammatory medicine into the epidural space to decrease inflammation of the nerve roots, hopefully reducing the pain in the back or legs. The epidural injection may help the injury to heal by reducing inflammation. It may provide permanent relief or provide a period of pain relief for several months while the injury/cause of pain is healing. \n\nWhat happens during the procedure? \nAn IV is started so that relaxation medication can be given. The patient is placed lying on their side on the x-ray table and positioned in such a way that the physician can best visualize the low back using x-ray guidance. The skin on the back is scrubbed using 2 types of sterile scrub (soap). Next, the physician numbs a small area of skin with numbing medicine. This medicine stings for several seconds. After the numbing medicine has been given time to be effective, the physician directs a small needle, using x-ray guidance into the epidural space. A small amount of contrast (dye) is injected to insure the needle is properly positioned in the epidural space. A mixture of numbing medicine (anesthetic) and anti-inflammatory (cortisone/steroid) is injected. \n\nWhat happens after the procedure?\nPatients are then returned to the recovery area where they are monitored for 30-60 minutes. Patients are then asked to record the relief they experience during the next week on a post injection evaluation sheet ("pain "diary"). This will be given to the patient when they are discharged home. \n\nA follow-up appointment will be made for a repeat block if indicated. These injections are usually done in a series of three (3), about two (2) weeks apart. The back or legs may feel weak or numb for a few hours. This is to be expected, however it does not always happen.

Yes, this happens b/c of the increased blood flow to the area. It makes all of the nerve endings much more enhanced. IT ROCKS DOESN'T IT. (Same thing in prenant women too.)

The physical part of the pain is a burning pressure feeling deep inside your vagina.  The emotional pain far outways the physical aspect... Is he going to tell everyone?  Will we be together forever?  Is he just after P****?  What will tomorrow be like with him?  What if everyone finds out I had sex and now they think I am a sl**?

Front to back.  Just think, you don't want to be pulling poo/bacteria into your vagina and urethra (causing UTIs and other nasty infections).  As far as the "pooting" goes, that's normal, I believe teenagers  call it "queefing"?  It happens because air goes up and gets trapped and then if you contract your stomach muscles at all then it comes out.  It happens a lot when condoms are in use because the latex provides an air tight seal and the man pushes already present air up the canal... (or at least that's when the BIG ones happen LOL)

I had my son naturally. It feel like nothing else you could imagine. And yes it hurts alot. Try to go to the bathroom as much as possible before you start to push. Also the body is an amazing thing. When you start to go into labor your body will naturally try to 'clean itself out' so that there is more room for the baby to come down the birth canal. Its quite miraculous actually. Don't worry, you wont be thinking about that when the time comes! The worst part for me was getting sewn back up after my epesiotomy. That really hurt!! Take as many birthing classes as you can and get the book What to Expect When Youre Expecting. Its the best thing you can do for yourself. Also exercising throughout pregnancy will really keep you in shape for labor.
