  • Wisdom tooth erupting and hurting as heck. Is that normal?

    Dental - 18 hours ago

    Additional Details

    One of my lower wisdom teeth, which have started erupting a while ago is suddenly hurting a lot. The gum around that tooth is sore and swollen. I don't think it is impacted because I had a dental x-ray done a couple years ago and was told that all 4 of my wisdom teeth are growing straight so it isn't necessary to remove them. I also had 4 of my normal back teeth pulled out for braces when I was young so the wisdom teeth have got space to grow. I'm not sure what is causing the pain but I've been told that the pain may be normal during the eruption of wisdom teeth. Will the pain go away after a while? What other reasons apart from impacted teeth can cause such pain? I have my finals coming up in less than a week so I won't be able to go to the dentist and end up with sore cheeks unless it's something persistent and serious. Thanks! That really helped. At least I don't have to worry about getting my tooth removed for the time being. As for taking ibuprofen, is there a recommended dose for this infection in particular?

  • Abnormal Pap test results, Anyone have the same experience?

    Women's Health - 22 hours ago

    Additional Details

    My doctor called me yesterday to tell me that my pap test came back, I've had pap tests every 6 months for the past 3 years but didn't make it to my last test in April because I was out of the province, so I went last month. Theres been abnormal cells on all my other tests but now my doctor is sending me to a Gyno because he said that their concerned about the Squamous Cells, I was kinda too nervous to ask questions but he did mention a test that I'm going to have to have he said its like a pap test but with mircoscopes! I have no idea what any of this is, never been to a Gyno, and never heard about half this stuff! Has anyone already been through the same experience? I have no clue when my apt is, just waiting for them to call but it could be a couple months.......I'm 25 years old, with a 3 year old and pretty stressed out right now, I know it doesn't help to stress and my husband tells me not to worry about it but I can't help it, I just need to know stuff! Does anyone know what is gonna go on now? The doctor mentioned a test called a Colopscopy, something about a pap test with a microscope....... My family doctor does alot of the stuff a gyno does, where I live you dont go to a gyno unless referred, My doctor does Pap Tests, delivers babies, and takes care of u while your pregnant right up to delivery.

Going With the Flow: The Facts About Frequency of Urination During Pregnancy

Going With the Flow: The Facts About Frequency of Urination During Pregnancy

By Ann Douglas

Find yourself trekking off to the restroom more often than usual, now that you're pregnant.

There are two main reasons why you’re making all those extra trips down the hall.

First, the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy increase blood flow to the pelvic region, something that can trigger the need to urinate more frequently.

Secondly, pressure from your uterus on your bladder can increase the sense of urgency to, ahem, go with the flow.

While you should expect to be urinating more often than usual, you shouldn’t be experiencing any pain or burning during urination; nor should your urine exhibit an unusual color or odor.

If you’re experiencing any unusual or worrisome symptoms, you’ll want to get in touch with your health care practitioner to find out if you have developed a urinary tract infection. It's important to seek prompt treatment for a urinary tract infection in case it is an upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis). Untreated upper urinary tract infections have been associated with low birthweight (a baby weighing less than 2500 grams), prematurity (a baby born before 37 weeks, as measured from the first day of the Last Menstrual Period – LMP), premature labor, hypertension (high blood pressure) and/or preeclampsia (a serious medical condition characterized by high blood pressure, the presence of protein in the urine, and swelling of the face, feet, and hands), maternal anemia (low iron), and amnionitis (inflammation of the thin, membranous sac containing the growing baby).
