I had cone biopsy 4 years ago - I couldn't Orgasm before I got it done, had never had one in my life - but I get them plenty now! \nMost women usually reach climax through clitoral stimulation as opposed to vaginal, so unless you were one of the ones who got to it through vaginal stimulation - I wouldnt say it has anything physical to do with the operation - I would say it is more to do with the mental anguish that you went through at the time. Cone biopsies are done to remove cancerous cells from the cervix - as a woman, being told that you have cancerous cells there is a very scarey thing - and also being told that most types of cervical cancer are caused by the HPV virus (human papilloma virus - aka genital warts) which is passed on by the guy, can be very off putting - so without realizing it, you could have a mental stigma attached to sex now which is hindering your progression to orgazm.\nIf you still enjoy sex and its not painfull or anything like that - think long and hard about how you felt when you were told you needed the cone biopsy - work your way through those feelings, and then try and stimulate yourself to orgazm. i think that once you can reach it on your own, you'll be better able to reach it with someone else!

I dont know what it could be but you should ask to see a different gyno- get on a medical plan because 5 months does seem a little too long too be bleeding like that. be careful you dont become anemic. Is there someone else that works there that would be more helpful?

I had UVPP surgery (took out tonsils, reshaped roof of my mouth and soft palate), about 8 years ago and it took awhile for foods to taste the same. Be patient.

i wish there was.you have no idea on how i wish this was true.  my dad whom i  love very dearly told me that he has prostrate cancer back in September. he told me that he was going to the "mayo" clinic. an extremely prestigious hospital for this treatment. with an above average sucesss rate. so i was very content with that. but as my mom and dad  go to Melbourne Florida every year to there winter retreat. he still hadn't gone to the mayo before they left. i questioned my dad why and he stated that he is going to seek full treatment in Florida with a doctor he knows and trust. well its late November and he hasn't gone for treatment of any kind. Ive called on a daily bases and spoken to him about it and questioned what he is doing to resolve the issue. his response is " i haven't got the time to take care of it yet" i questioned of "yet" to him. he explains of how he has to do this and that(things of no meaning). he is a vein man i know. and that is his issue. he is 75 years of age. Ive always known that your parents will die. but Ive never felt it like i feel it now.but the kicker is , i finally got to speak to my mom without him there. he doesnt have prostrate cancer. he has lung cancer. he quit smoking at the age of 33. but he worked his entire life as a journeymen electrictian. who knows what he was exposed to over all those years. so in answer to your question, i really wish there was. id read it to eternity. the bible as you so hiddenly speak doesn't tell you how to deal with this. if it does and you really see that it applies. then e-mail me about how i should read scriptrure...chapter... verse.... does it really apply? ask this of yourself before you offer advise.

I did get your private posting to me, but for some reason I couldn't send you anything back- it said that you hadn't confirmed your address.  Yes-  it is harder to diagnosis Trich in men than women, so this could be the case with your situation.  Besides examining your discharge under a microscope, they can also do a DNA test.

I have the same problem. I am going to see a Urologist as this has been going on for years. Your Gyno should be your first stop, and I'm sure you do all the instructions from them-( wiping from front to back, urinating after sex, drinking cranberry juice or pills, drinking lots of water and in my case taking an anti biotic after sex). I would say it is time to see a kidney specialist as UTI's are so miserable, and sounds like you have reached tolerance to many antibiotics.

This letter could mean that not enough cells were obtained for a good test.  Please don't worry too much if it didn't say anything about abnormal cells.  Bad tests can happen.....it stinks, but it is a medical reality.

I was diagnosed with a stage four ovarian cancer 2 years ago when I was 17.  I was supposed to only have 6 rounds of chemo, but I had the option of two more rounds, which I did.  I also had a surgery which took 5 hours.  I havent had any reoccurences.  It hasnt been five years, but I have had been cancer free.  I would just go with any additional treatments that the oncologists offer.  I hope everything goes well with your wife.  If she needs anyone to talk to she can email me, because I have been through it all.

Try talking to your doctor and see what he has to say.

Actually I have this problem and despite not being a doctor there is still hope for people who have non-obstructive azoospermia. I am still looking for an answer for my own problem.  They found sperm in me and one fertilized an oocyte from my wife using a procedure ICSI at a clinic. ICSI is (intra-cellular-sperm-injection…I may be wrong on what it stands for but I know I am close).  Unfortunately the after fertilization the developing clump of cells (help me here medical people) was not viable for transfer (it stopped dividing). By the way… getting your testicles operated on for Sperm retrieval really is not that painful.  The anxiety for me was the most difficult part. \n\nDon’t settle for losing hope.\n\nAzoospermia that is non-obstructive (NOA) can be caused by many different things.  Many people who have NOA have sperm retrieval that is viable for ICSI.  In short I got please email me and I would like to discuss the issue with you.  Respond to my answer and give me your email address. I will email you more info. \n\nTHE TOP DOCTOR I believe in the US if not in the world for treating NOA is Dr. Peter Schlegel from Cornell.\nThe treatment for NOA is described here:\n\nhttp://www.cornellurology.com/uro/cornell/infertility/srt/azoospermia.shtml\n\nHere is the info on Schlegel\nhttp://www.cornellurology.com/uro/cornell/faculty/schlegel.html\n\nObviously you know there are 2 categories of azoospermia \n1. Obstructive Azoospermia (read about it elsewhere)\n\n2. Non-obstructive Azoospermia\n-Obstructive can be cause by an absence of the vas deferens or retrograde ejaculation.  Basically this has many successful treatment options because the problem is simple a plumbing issue.  One way or another obstructive azoospermia patients often can have sperm extracted for assisted reproduction.\n-The shit really hits the fan when you find out that you have NOA or non-obstructive azoospermia.  This can be caused by a myriad of things such as:\n-Genetic abnormalities:Klienfelter's XXY , Y chromosome micro-deletions or other genetic anomalies that are currently unidentified as causes of azoospermia\n-Damage to testis: 1 Exposure to radiation (chemotherapy does a number on spermatogenesis) 2 Exposure to chemicals that disrupt spermatogenesis or kill the primary germ cells in the testis  3 Traumatic injury to the testis (i.e. torsion)\n-Infections Mumps (for some reason it knocks out the germ cells of the testis0\n-Other:-Variocele (normally doesn’t cause azoospermia) -Endocrine abnormalities or problems related to hormones affecting spermatogenesis -Undescended Testis damages the testing\n\nCurrent NOA treatments involve ruling out all possible causes and for some a TESE procedure for sperm retrieval is done if there is a good chance for finding viable sperm for fertilization of oocytes (assuming your wife or partner would go through hormone stimulation and egg retrieval) it costs big bucks!\n\n\nExperimental treatments that could be solutions to NOA in the future.  (Don’t hold your breath and don’t get too excited as no-one really wants to have children that are deformed or go through procedures that are have only been tested in animals)\n-In vitro spermatogenesis (assuming you have round spermatid or germ cells)\n-Germinal cell transplantation (not sure if it would be your kids anymore though)\n-The use of round spermatids for ICSI fertilization has been documented in a small number of cases. However, I wouldn’t want to risk having a deformed child by doing this.\n-Stem-cell therapy\n-Genetic therapy (not anytime soon)

I guess I missed the question but assume you are looking for a diagnosis....It is hard to say could be aspiration pneuminia but that is much more common in the right mid lobe of the lung vs left.  Does the patient have a history of smoking or working in a coal mine or with asbestos?  You need to present all of the info here if you are expecting help.  HOw was the temperature taken?  if it was rectal then it isn't such a high fever, but if that is axilary then you add a degree which makes the situation more concerning.  The resp rate is high so you should have given oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute as comfort due to shortness of breath.  What did the nail beds look like...pink or dusky?  Is the person dehydrated and in need of IV fluid or just IV antibiotics to help decrease the fever?  And just because the person has Alzheimers does not mean they are not still a person, you can still talk to them and ask them questions, they sometimes have lucid moments.  Also, the family should be able to give you oral history or you could even call the nursing home.  Some patients have been at long term care for years and the staff get to know them pretty well.  Good luck, I hope I helped..........P.S.  I am a nurse in long term care.

First of all, take a deep breath. You are not alone. I have had a couple of these; they came back inconclusive and I had to have a D&C (actually had several of those too). \n\nIt should take about a week. If the doc has not called you back, you call him. I know from experience that waiting is pure torture! The mind can go to all kinds of weird places. \n\nHang in there and be sure when you re-visit your doc that you bring your questions written down. I would also suggest that you bring another person with you when you get your results (assuming you get them in the office). \n\nRemember, Endo. cancer is very slow growing and has the most successful rate of cure. But there are other phases before it gets there. Hyperplasia...Complex Hyperplasia, and Complex Hyperplasia with Atypia. (that last one was my dx) \n\nI suggest that you also visit a web site called hystersysters.com. I would have never gotten thru my ordeal with out that support from those wonderful ladies. \n\nBest wishes to you.

I believe this means that the cells from your cervix have shown some abnormal changes that that need to be further investigated.  This varies in severity, although nearly all abnormal smear tests 'go back to normal' by themselves without treatment. In the U.K, if you have an abnormal smear you wil be referred to hospital for a further investiagtion (a colposcopy) or you will be asked to attend another smear test in 6 months time. This is most common with 'borderline' (very minor) changes that are likely to correct themselves.  If you are referred to hospital after your first abnormal smear (or after the second) you will undergo a colposcopy.  This is where they stain your cervix with a solution to show up the abnormal cells better.  They then take a biopsy to be sent away which checks the severity of your abnormalities.  I believe that usually treatment is only offered once the results of the biopsy come back, but in the U.K you can be offered treatment at the colposcopy if the doctor thinks you are likely to require it.  This involves burning the abnormal cells with a laser (you get a local anaesthetic!).  I believe this treatment is almost 100% effective in removing abnormal cells and preventing their return.  \nIn all, abnormal smear tests are quite common and most will clear themselves, or even with the treatment do not pose much of a threat-in younger women especially to find cervical cancer is EXTREMELY rare, so don't worry.  \nI think that your abnormal cells are likely to have cleared/been treated before you get pregnant. If not, I'm quite sure that being pregnant and having abnormal cervical cells will not affect the baby but Im not sure if it is possible to carry out the treatment on a pregnant woman-so I'd check with your doctor just to be sure before you do get pregnant.\nBoth myself and my sister have have abnormal smears, she had a colposcopy done a fortnight ago and I have to get one next week-I also know many other young women who have had the same, so its more common than most people think!  \nI'm also sure your doctor/nurse would be able to offer you more advice but I hope this helps you a little! \nAll the best!

all cases are never similar. Just ask ur friend 2 follow a check up every 6 month coz when u get operated, doctors burns the small one so that they dont come back, dont worry. be brave n support her
