Stapedectomy - When Packing Will Be Removed?
Can anyone tell me how long it took for the gel packing to "melt away" after the surgery? I don't have an appointment until a month after surgery-which seems unusual after reading other posts. I'm only 5 days post-surgery, but the packing is driving me crazy. I think it is causing a loud whooshing noise whenever I am sitting up. I think it is also making it painful if I lie on my non operated side-as if it is putting extra pressure on the ear drum?

View 1 RepliesNuvaring Fell Out During Sex - Should I Put It Back After 3 Hours?
Recently My nuvaring was taken out for sex, and yes I know you don't have to, but I do because of the painful friction when its not inserted deep enough. I realized the next morning that it was out still (more than three hours), and put it back in like the pamphlet says.. Only I didn't realize that I was in my third week, which comes with different instructions. Not knowing what to do, I left it in and took it out on my normally scheduled day. Now I have my period and my question is should I put a new ring in now, on the first day of My period, or on the day I would have taken it out had the cycle not been interrupted, or should I put it in a week from day that that I took it out the first time? I took it out Thursday put it back in Friday morning and took it out Sunday. Now today my period started. What do I do? How long should I use extra protection for?

Nuvaring fell out during sex in which he ejaculated inside me. I didn't notice until the next day and re-inserted the Nuvaring about 15 hours after it fell out. I need to know if the sex I had last night could have gotten me pregnant. Do I have to take the morning after pill or will I be fine since I had it in consistently before the sex and put it back in the next day?

I received a handjob from a stripper and afterwards i noticed some blood on my penis (not my own), i wasn't cut or anything and afterward i looked at her hand and lo and behold she was bleeding somewhat. I understand hiv isn't a risk for handjobs but what about with blood involved directly coming out of her wound and into my penis?
View 3 RepliesHIV :: Dry Sperm With Fresh Sperms Combined On A Wound?
I was trying to wash my cloth by hand with some amount (large) of fresh sperm on, then I notice that there is a yellow clot (very likely to be someone else's dry sperm)... and I got a wound on finger 10 hours ago (so the wound is probably under the process of vasoconstriction)...
So if:
(1) The clot (dry sperm) contains HIV and
(2) The HIV got activated by the new fresh sperm and
(3) got to the surface of my finger where there is a wound (in recovering, there might be Lymph on the wound)
Will I get HIV?
(1) I was 'flushing' the cloth with warm water (approx. 45-50 degree) (I am using my hand washing it)...
(2) After washing I can feel my hand is sticky, so some of the sperm got on my hand and very likely
If this is regarded as an exposure ... Shall I take PEP as soon as possible?
Hip Replacement :: Wound Leaking - 4 Weeks Post Op
My wound was leaking at one week post op , then continued till i had dressing change last monday . Dressing stayed dry all week , removed it this morning at 4 weeks post op so could have a shower then realised an arc of fluid was coming out of a central point in the wound - rest of the wound is fine and dry. Not painful and doesnt look infected but I wondered if anyone else has had a wound problem like this , and how long it lasted ?

View 2 RepliesImpetigo :: Returned From Sea Side And Juicy Wound On My Knee
I have this bacteria called IMPETIGO. To be honest it's the worst thing I had in my life. I'm 18 years old and having this kind of bacteria is simply awful. It all started when I returned from the sea side, I was there on holiday with my best friend. During the trip I had nothing, everything was fine, but the last day a juicy wound appeared on my knee. It was itching a bit. The next day when I arrived home another one appeared on my FACE! I was traumatized! I stood like this for 2-3 days, after I told my mom she took me to a specialist. The doctor gave me antibiotics and Fucidin cream. I started the treatment about 3 days ago, the wounds are looking better now. The major problem is that in 6 days from now I'm leaving to London to visit some relatives and they have a daughter, she's 10. I'm so scared that I could give this bacteria to her, I feel so embarrassed. Please help me, could someone tell me if there is any possibility that I can avoid this ?
View 1 RepliesWound Care :: Yellow Liquid Coming Out Of The Scrape
I scraped both of my knees yesterday afternoon. When I got home I washed them with soap and water then let them breathe out a bit. When I went to sleep I put on 2 non-adherent sterile pads and when I woke up, one of them was healing perfectly but the other had a yellow puss come out of it. There is this weird liquid coming out of the scrape and when I put the pad back on for another hour or so today, yellow stuff was still coming out of it. It hurts to move my leg and to put pressure on it. Should I be getting this checked out?
View 1 RepliesKnee :: Pre TKR - No Wound / Minor Injuries Or Skin Scratch ?
My TKR is 12 days away now and I was told I that if there was a single break in the skin on that leg the op would be cancelled because of the infection risk. Even an insect bite would be a problem...
I have to say I never realised how often my legs had minor wounds... I'm generally quite outdoorsy and I'm permanently covered in bites, bramble scratches, nettle rash (which I always manage to scratch open) etc, or accidental scratches from playing with dogs and cats, or catching my leg on a fence whilst struggling to get my dodgy legs over a style...
i never even think about it, but now I feel like I have to wrap the leg in cotton wool to protect it these last few days... Just got me wondering... What aspect of your surgeries took you totally by surprise? What did you have have to think/worry about that you never even thought about before?
Wound Care :: Swelling Face After Poking Mouth With Toothpick
My mother was using a toothpick the other night and poked herself in the mouth pretty hard. Her face started to swell really big she took some Advil that seemed to help with the swelling i am just wondering how or if this is an urgent thing to have looked at, as she and my step father are now on an island and far away from any health care! I am worried she could have an infection!
