She had her right leg cut off above the knee. At this time, I traveled to her fearing she wouldn't survive the surgery or h

My school's incompetent health care doctor prescribed me a medication for urinary tract infection and my preseptal celluitis got worse in the time it took me to figure it out. Then I went to a real doctor. Now I'm on 3 different antibiotics at the highest dose in addition to doing heat compresses. I've had the condition for about a week but only got the real meds 3 days ago. How long will it take before the swelling goes down? It's really frustrating and almost intolerable.

This last week I noticed a weird cooling sensation in my penis. Not stinging or burning, but cooling. Sort of the feeling you get with Deep Cold.

I have chronic pelvic pain, frequent urinary tract infections, painful sex and possibly interstitial cystitis, and I can't help thinking if I were born a boy none of these problems would be happening and ruining my life.

Resolved Question: (Graphic) Fingered girlfriend, got a UTI, is bleeding. Feel like worst person, how to completely prevent this? (Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:41:32 GMT)
Back story: I was pushing fingering as we had already had sex, and despite it being really, really good, she couldn't orgasm (i think her clitoris is too high up for my penis to stimulate it) . She said it was normal for most girls and oral, hand work were the only ways to stimulate the clitoris. As I was doing it, she kept saying no, but before labelling be a rapist, we've been dating for 7 months and had had normal sex a LOT.

Quick history - she's in her late teens - had bacterial vaginitias and trichamonas but got that cleared about a month or two ago, had urinary tract infection and she's finishing up the meds on that today.

Since that point she has had no feeling in her vagina. This has never been an issue before. Did the other girl pinching her cause this?
