Will hormone treatment change my personality?
I suffer from excessive sweating and body hair and, after researching on the internet, think I may have too many male hormones as opposed to female estrogen. I am considering going to my GP about it but am worried the treatment might change my personality. I am very much a tomboy and also I'm gay so I'm worried that if I start increasing my female hormones I'll change which I don't want at all. I'm not so worried about turning straight because I think being gay has more to do than just your hormones but I'm scared that my personality will change in other ways. Does anyone know what the side effects to taking female hormones are?

Menstrual problem.....?
I am asking on behalf of a worried friend. She had to have a surgical termination 5 months ago after medical termination did not work. Periods prior to this were regular. She is 27yrs old and was very ill during pregnancy and had to have abortion due to health reasons. Since Feb 10th she has not stopped bleeding and is getting worried. Doctors cant do an internal exam due to heavy menstruation. She has been tried on various meds to control the bleed but they dont have much impact. Doctor has recommended a scan but still waiting for this. She is worried as has been bleeding for so long without any break. Can anyone advise what may be wrong, she is also worried about fertility now. She also has enduring abdominal bloating too. Please only serious answers

NHS Unfair?
I am 23 years old with a bust size of 34 G, I was a C cup at 10,
I have always had large breasts and to be honest I am sick and tired of them.
I went to the doctors 3 years ago with a BMI of 36 (15 stone) I spoke the surgeon and he said that my BMI would need to be 30 or less for me to be considered. I went back to the doctors 2 weeks ago and my BMI now is 29 but have been told that the NHS do not do breast reductions anymore. I am now 12 stone so lost the weight they wanted and now I have been rejected.
I am not doing it for vanity reasons, I have a severe bad back 98% of the time, burning in my neck and I have had a fungal infection underneath my breasts as well (not very nice) I know they will get bigger and I just do not know what to do.
I cannot afford £3,500 to have a reduction and to be honest can't afford to spend £35-£40 on bras that are strong enough to support me!!!

Weight loss during pregnancy?
I have always been 9 an a half stone but in the past 4 weeks have
gone to 8st 6. Now i am really worried about this as i use to have
eating problems for a while, no matter how much i wanted to eat i
couldn't i tried to force myself to and i would throw it up...not
on purpose! And i lost alot of weight then but carried on seeing
the doctor and went back to my normal weight!
And the same thing is happening again...cannot eat anything, in the
past 5 days i have managed in total 2 slices of toast and half a
sandwhich. I spoke to one of the midwifes about it and all she
kep saying was my BMI was saying i am a healthy weight...that may
be true but to lose that weight in that time whilest pregnant
cannot be good? like i said i cant eat at all...i smashed my
plate up last night as i got so wound up that i couldnt eat it!
I tried small portions...you know little and offen...didnt work
I tried just toast and crackers but i cant even eat them now.

I have Henoch-schonlein purpura (rash only, no other symptoms) what
treatments or therapies could help?
I have seen the dr, and I have been to see a dermatologist at the hospital.
They told me there is nothing I can do but it has been there since january,
predominantly on my legs and very bad on my feet and ankles, it's really d
epressing me now. There doesn't seem to be any medicinal cure and I have
been told that it will go on its own; but I just can't take it anymore!!
Please please please, does anyone know what I can do to make it go away?...if you have any advice for me I would really appreciate it! Getting desperate now and just wish I could wear skirts this summer....it's horrible having to wear jeans/trousers all the time : (
Hives-like rash all over body coupled with intense oesophagal pain?
Could someone please tell me if they know what I might be suffering from.
Doctors don't seem to know and I have had this condition since I was 20.
Some doctors say that the rash and the pain are not related, but having
had it for several years, I know for certain that the two are related,
since they always happen at the same time. The pain goes from my throat
to the centre of my body, where it is chronic. It literally feels like
someone is stabbing through to my back, or like a sharp crisp just
sliced through from my throat to my centre. The rash is like hives - all
over my body from scalp to soles of my feet. I know when I get the pain t
hat the rash will follow the next day, or vice versa. I get this about
four times a year on average and each time I feel as though I am dying
from the intense pain. (the pain comes on when I lie down).I know of
conditions like acid reflux but that doesn't cause a rash. Alternatively
there are conditions that cause a rash but no pain. But both?? HELP
Can Antidepressants make you ''sick'' if you been using it for about 5 years?
My friend has been using Antidepressants for the past five years. Lately she was
acting different. She is usually a fun, loving person but lately she is mean and
rude to people. If you try talk to her about it , she is clue less, it's like
she has no idea what she is doing, she will get upset, cry and ignore you for
about 2 weeks before she will talk to you again like nothing is wrong. Is it
possible that Antidepressants can do that? What can I do to help?

Any medical proefessionals?- Tiredness and aching bones?
Hi there
I am 26 and for quite a few years now I have suffered periodically from bouts of tiredness, and aching bones. I cannot ssem to notice a link between when I get it and why. I have had all blood tests recently, so I am not anaemic, diabetic or no underactive thyroid etc. I am worried but don't want to feel as if I am wasting GP time as my symptoms can sound very vague. I am otherwise healthy. Any ideas please?

Testosterone question?
1) I know you gain weight from it because of muscle mass but does it also get rid of the feminine fat in the body that is produced by estrogen? And do you gain any fat or look fat at all?
2) My gynecologist told me after I had hysteroctomy(which will stop periods) I would still need hormones(testosterone) but would it be ok to take it very little like once in a month maybe. I am talking about the smallest dose. Because I dont want to have testosterone effects like facial hair and such.
3)If you stop taking it will the voice change be permanent?
4)breasts: Anyone know how to remove get rid of breasts without the use of surgery?
