OK Ladies, I got a couple of questions about some female shit!

1. I got this friend that still douches with vinegar and water after sex! From my research I found out that douching is really not good for you and can cause BV (bacterial vaginosis) amoung other things but, she still insist on doing this!! Whats your take on this?

2. Also she has this serious phobia about going to the OBGYN for her annual pap smear and exam. She'll make an appt and then cancel and I'm like why, whats up with that?

Help me to help her cause I don't want her to find out later on that she has something that could have been prevented if only she had been getting her annuals. I know this is a very sensitive subject with ladies and to be honest I don't want you to think I am making light of it in anyway! But I want to help her to understand that this is important for her health and the health of her partners. Are we having sex, yes but not too often and the last time we did she had some pain and a little bleeding. She commented that it was cause its been awhile and that I stretched her out too far but I'm not really buying that but, I just want to make sure shes ok at this point and am trying to figure out how to approach this without pissing her off too much. But if pissing her off is what I have to do in order to help her then so be it!! Give me your insights and help me to figure out how to approach her on this? :cool:
 
Wow... there are sexually active people out there in 2008 who won't get checked out?? that's crazy.. with STDS so rampant... :smh:

anywho... Idk, maybe you just need to bomb some cold hard facts on her. Not only can douching cause things like BV, it can make somethings worse, she could have an infection and push it further up by douching... She could become infertile by not treating something she might have. Maybe as a precaution to yourself you should tell her you WONT have sex with her until she gets her annual. My take is, if you can take the D you can take a speculum. Tell her you'll go with her if she's scared. IF its money, help a sista out with her co-pay. Either way, if this is your woman, help her by being more proactive with it since your health is also at risk.

True story... my mom didn't get check ups for awhile, probably years because she was out there. She had untreated HPV and developed cervical cancer. Which they didn't find until they were doing surgery to remover her fibroids. Not only did she have a hysterectomy she had to undergo chemo and radiation. She wasn't even 40 when all this happened... So its not even just about having healthy sex... its so much more.
 
You need to give her this look :hmm: She needs a reality check

Stop with the douching....after sex every time :eek::smh: She is off setting her PH balance. Fear is fear I comprehend that but she needs to recognize that her health is important.
If you are going continue to have sexual encounters with this female you NEED to lay it down because you are also at risk. :smh:
The bleeding and pain may already be an indication that she has some type of infection.

Women have got to educate themselves about their bodies. :smh:


I hope that you are able to get her to see are doctor.








Peace
 
I'm going into Obs and gyne
If your friend is sexually active, its
important she gets her pap smear every three years.
Bleeding after sex could be a sign of an std - HPV
or cervical cancer.
The examination only lasts about 10 minutes,
the gyne has seen thousands of vaginas before you
so dont be shy and prevention is always better than cure.


Like the others said, douching is bad for you.
 
douching its bad for you...it just shouldnt be done as often as ol girl is doing it...she should really only be doing it about 1-2 times a month

as far as the doctor...its not fun for anyone....she really needs to find a doctor she is confortable with...but she also needs to woman up and get over it
 
hmmmm did she partake in some really risky behaviors? does she have a family history of certain ailments and she is afraid she has it/them? cuz its seems like she is afraid to find out something


she needs to slow down on the douching AND she needs to get checked up

trust me...it feels good to know everything is str8

she can get a female doctor
the exam doesn't take long...get all of it done in one shot (pap & blood work)

and tell her not to lie cuz she will only play herself
and def mention her douching behavior


oh yeah...DON'T mess w/ her tell she gets the results to her exams

Naw homie we are supposed 2 get pap smears every year
 
Wow that is scary. She really needs to get it together, because a lot of problems she could have down the road are preventable with some precaution today. Cosign on everything the ladies said. We MUST take care of our bodies!
 
c/s with all of the above.

The only thing to add is that if you are not comfortable with you urging her to see the GYN, then perhaps another female could talk to her to convince her. Let her know you care and it is for her own best health.
