Open Question: How does a doctor diagnose premature ovarian failure?

POF means you are going through menopause early (like before the age of 40). Just curious as to how a doctor would diagnose that.

Open Question: Do over the counter remedies work for Menopause?

I am having a terrible time with this Menopause thing and wanted to know if anyone out there has experienced these over-the-counter remedies instead of taking hormones subscribed by the drs? I don’t want to go that route for I have a high percentage of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.. in my family as it is, so figure I don’t need anymore added on at this point. I already deal with diabetes (boarder-line), and heart disease, so would like to stay clear of them. I realize that each one acts differently on everyone person but thought I would get some advice.

Here is a list of some:
Black Cohosh
Red Clover
St.John’s Wart
Ginkgo
Thanks for listening.

Open Question: Regular vinegar or apple cider?

Trying the old remedy of mixing vinegar w/water, drinking it 3x a day for chronic fatigue/joint pain/weight loss. I am using regular white vinegar. Is white vinegar okay, or does it have to be apple cider vinegar?

It REALLY bothers me alot. Has ruined my self esteem .I have redness and inflamation on nose and cheeks (with some small visible veins on my nose). It always feels hot and gets worse with stress, some foods (spicy, sweet, dairy), and most of all: with heat.

I am 18/male and had this problem for 4 years.. Gets worse every year. Im sick of it and want to get to the bottom of it. I’ve tried everything that can be offered by western doctors.. Metrogel, antibiotics, so on.. NOTHING has helped, just aggravated it. It has been steadily getting worse every year, and now is 100% permanent, and gets worse with any of the triggers.

As far as alternative medicine, I have tried Accupuncture and ayurveda. NO RESULTS! What do you think would be the best thing to do to GET rid of this! I can’t stand it anymore!!! Im so self concious about it. I need to stop it b4 college.

Thanks alot

Open Question: Endometriosis and adhesions?

I have had endo since I was 13. The past 2 years I have had to have 5 surgeries because of it. My last one was 4 months ago, I had a hystorectomy. I am only 28 so they left my ovaries because they didn’t want me to start menopause at this early of an age. I have no children but felt it was my only option because I also had adnodmynosis and between the 2 I was in horrible pain. Everytime they went in my adhesions were on my bowel and alot of other places. Now it has been 4 months and I am starting to experiance pain in my lower abdomen. It is dull most of the time but hurts more when I eat. I think I have adhesions growing on my bowels again but the doctors said no it is probably IBS. They keep giving me meds for IBS the isn’t working. I wanted to see if anyone else that has endo have had similar problems with it affecting your bowels.
