Girl only! Girls, I need your help! Please read and answer!?

I have a few questions that I have been wondering about lately. I was wondering if anyone here has asked their doctors about using tampons before they started using them. I was also wondering how you asked if you did and what their response was. Also did the doctor try to make it as comfortable as they could and how embarrassing was it after you said it. Also how did you bring yourself to ask? If you haven't asked what are some ways that I could ask my pediatrician. I have a female doctor. I trust her and all but I am just to nervous to ask about tampons but I want to hear what she has to say. I have no one else to talk to about this and I do not want to just "try" them before I talk to my doctor. I have tried several time to ask but I chicken out. I know that every girl has to deal with period but I still find it so embarrassing. What can I do?

Missed period?


It's going to be embarrassing at first, but I assure you once you do ask and she starts talking, and you see how comfortable she is you'll be fine. She deals with stuff so much worse than this that she'll be glad for a break ;) Say something along the lines of "I'm about to get my period again and this time I was thinking about trying tampons. Do you have any tips or are there any concerns I should know about? I feel silly asking but I'm not really sure what I'm doing". She'll be more than happy to talk to you about it and will make you feel right at home. I didn't talk to my doctor, but you should be perfectly fine. Good luck!

Had my tampon in for over 24 hours and it got stuck way up me. I feel fine and I got it out, please tell me?

Oh my fing goodness! Take it from someone who lives with a pediatrician. They're doctors every day there job is to hear stuff like that and it's absolutely fine. Just ask you don't have to be evasive or beat around the bush. Doctors have high ethics to keep in mind and they are predominantly never going to say anything that may discomfort you in any way. I myself work at a hospital there are codes to follow. And a tiny question like yours is absolutely harmless! Don't fear that she will think you're weird she'll just answer your question. Even if your doctor had been a male the same amount of respect and ethical morals would be displayed towards you! Personally pads are better because tampons if they get stuck up there too long you could get T.S.S.

I had normal vaginal birth four months ago, I bled for six weeks then stopped for a week, I then got my period

Just tell her you are considering using tampons but are not sure about them and she will probably take it from there

Post-Hysterectomy women - hoping for some feedback!?

Don't use em, unless you really need em.

Simple, who else is a 38b ?

Remember that every female has a period. It's part of life not something embarrassing. If you can't get yourself to ask though, write down your questions and hand her your list next time you're there. Maybe that will break the ice, so to speak.

Sex excersizes?

Is it safe to get a copper IUD if you have a nickel allergy?

what may be embarrassing to us, is normal to a doctor. that's what she's there for, to answer your questions. she's not going to judge you or think your question is stupid. just blurt it out.

does this happen to anyone else?

I would def talk to her. So many girls ask her the same thing and she will totally be understanding. I talked to my doctor about it and I even had a cool mom I could talk to. So dont be afraid. She is the best person to talk to. Good luck!

foods to eat while on your periods?

There's nothing bad about using tampons, you shouldn't even need to ask your doctor. But if you feel like you must for whatever reason, just ask her! Every girl has their period and I'm sure she's heard way wierder questions than that. There's no reason to be nervous.

Pad or tampons? ( more details)?

Write down any questions you have. Hand the list to your Doctor and tell her you have some questions.
I personaly dont recomend tampons. They lengthen the time of a womens period.

[[ is it true that if u r on the pill, u dont have to take the last 7 pills in the package? ]]?

why be embaressed? there's nothing to be embaressed about. i ask my doctor whatever i want. i ask questions that are much more embaressing than that. but really, don't be embaressed. be proud. proud to be a woman. that's corny i know but true. just ask.

ok I havent had my period in 6 months what the heck?

Doctors are generally very good at answering questions in a nonemotional way, which tends to put people at ease. However, if you read the insert on the tampon box, it explains step by step how to properly place and remove a tampon. That's how I learned, and have never had a problem in 20 years.

Whats kunt? but spelled with a c it wont let me spell it completely?

there really isn't anything you should be embarassed about asking your dr. they hear everything and trust me..will be professional and answer any question you have. That one is pretty simple. If it bothers you that much have your mom ask.but really..I would relax if I was you..the dr will understand. think of it as practice...cuz as you get older the situations get a lot more embarassing!

What is a hymen?

Well now that you are a woman you don't need to get embarrased to ask those questions. You can just try them yourself...there is no health issues with them unless you leave it in for more than 8 hours. Your doctor is not going to laugh at you...she will answer your question and all of them. She would rather you ask her then not at all.

If you are really that embarrassed to ask your doctor. Why don't you just ask your friends? They will tell you and you trust them right?

Oh, and there is directions on the box if you decide to try them yourself =]

Good luck dear.

Girls Please help.?

Hi! Dont be scared! Its totally normal. Your doctor is there for help, advice and support-thats her job. I bet she has seen FAR more embarassing things than an enquiry about a tampon. I didnt start using them straight away-i was too scared, then one day i just did it, it was quite uncomfortable at first but its normal. I dont use them all the time now however, only if i really need to like swimming or somethn like that. You shouldnt be scared to ask or try, talk to your friends about it cos they will all be in the same position. Every girls your age is going throught his right now and every girl has to go through it or has been through it. It i snormal so dont worry! Ask your doctor and just say to her you are a bit scared of trying to use a tampon, and she will explain to you how to do it and what to do. Good luck!keep smiling ;)

How long does it take to get your period after being on the depo for a year?

I am a nurse and work in a doctor's office. You should feel no embarrassment since they are professionals and you are asking a very common question. Just try by asking something like: I'd like to start using tampons and I need some advice on what kind is best and the best technique for inserting them." There is no shame in asking this. Trust me. Using feminine products is something we girls are all stuck with! It will be a comfortable, easy conversation. Doctors and nurses see and hear things you can't imagine. You'll be so glad you asked. Good luck!!

for women or girls did you ever try to use a mens urinals just for the fun of it too see if you can do it?

Can you ovulate on the pill?

Let me reassure you; doctors have been trained for years before they are allowed to work and in their training they get to see so many patients with conditions that embarrass them that they learn to make such patients feel very comfortable. So there's no need to worry or feel ashamed or anything. As a female, your doctor will even have had the same worries as you when she was your age, so she's bound to be sympathetic.
Here's how to bring up the subject: say, "Hi, I've got some questions I need to ask someone but I'm feeling really embarrassed about it." The doctor will then help you to say what it is you need to say.
Here's another option: take a packet of tampons to the doctor with you and pull it out of your bag or pocket and simply say, "Can you please explain these for me?"
You can do it.
