Did anyone suffer a spontaneous rupture of their symphysis pubis during delivery of a baby?

---

and if so, did doctors recommend a C-section next time round?
yes i did and the doc did say he would like me to have a section the next time but i did not want it so he just monitored me all through the next baby and i was fine had a normal delivery so do not worry they have to suggest it as it is their job hope this helps  (+ info)

Can living at a higher altitude be a risk if you've had a spontaneous pneumothorax?

---

I've just recently had a pneumothorax(ruptured lung) now i understand that it is possible for me to get it again and more often. i want to know if living at a higher altitude can affect whether or now it will happen more often than living at a lower altitude?
Hi Aaron,

Yes, it is slightly more risky because your lungs have to work harder. I am not sure of the altitude you are talking about but at 5000 feet above sea level (Albuquerque, NM, USA) many of my patients did well.  (+ info)

What is the best way to hide spontaneous erections?

---

I'm a 20 year old guy and I get spontaneous erections fairly frequently. I wouldn't say they're out of control (I manage to control them most of the time). However, when they do happen, it's very annoying! I work at a public institution and interact with visitors. I've never gotten a spontaneous erection at work yet (I saw one of my hot co worker's thong and I did get a hard), but I dread the time it happens.

ANy tips?
wear bikini briefs instead of boxers. it won't be noticeable.  (+ info)

What causes spontaneous orgasms during sleep?

---

What causes spontaneous orgasms during sleep? "Spontaneous" meaning a person is lying there perfectly still and is receiving no stimulation whatsoever.
Sorry, I meant in women, not men.
hormones! subconscious! anything at all

it is normal, in men/boys it is called wet dreams but in women/girs it also happens without the 'wet part"

enjoy!  (+ info)

What's the difference between spontaneous abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth?

---

I'm pretty sure there's a difference between stillbirth and miscarriage, but are spontaneous abortion and miscarriage two different things?
Okay, first for the people that don't know what "spontaneous" means, it means without a plan. In other words it was not a choice or planned.

A spontaneous abortion is the MEDICAL term for a miscarriage. The two words are interchangable.

A stillbirth is when the fetus is technically old enough to survive outside of the uterus, but dies in the uterus...usually they have to induce labor and you have to deliver the baby. Or they will simply do a c-section and remove the baby.

Most spontaneous abortions/miscarriages happen within the first trimester (rarely between 13-24 weeks, after 24 weeks it is considered a still birth).

A spontaneous abortion or miscarriage does not require a death certificate, however most states do issue one for a still birth after 24 weeks of pregnancy.  (+ info)

What are the chances of a uterine rupture?

---

I will be almost 3 years since my last c-section. (34 months to be exact) My hospital does not have an anesthesiologist available 24-7, so I am considering having another c-section. Does anyone know the chances of having a uterine rupture 34 months after having surgery? I just don't want to undergo surgery if my chances are very slim of having a complications, especially if a VBAC would be safe. My doctor has left the decision up to me. If anyone has had to make this decision, I am interested in why you chose either way.
If you do have a rupture and the anesthesiologist isn't in-house when it happens, you WILL have a C-section with local anesthesia, and you won't enjoy it.

The hospitals near me don't allow VBAC without a full C-section team in-house.

Why did you have the first C-section? That can influence your risk.

ACOG recommends having personnel for C-section immediately available. Any physician who disregards that advice is playing with fire.  (+ info)

How long does it typically take for a cerebral aneurysm to rupture?

---

I recently had a cerebral aneurysm rupture and bleed out in my brain. After a very long surgery I am now recovering. I was curious how long it was in my brain before it ruptured?
It is true, there is no way to know. Although more than likely, it had been there a while. Aneurysms, unless caused by trauma, tend to grow fairly slowly. Some aneurysm locations in the brain can be faster than others due to differences in blood flow.  (+ info)

How is a fracture different from a rupture?

---

I ruptured my right ankle's ligament while coming downstairs. The Doc says its not a fracture, but a rupture. But still he plastered my ankle with POP.

So what is the difference between a fracture and a rupture?
The term 'rupture' is associated with soft tissue, while a fracture (or break) typically refers to harder tissue such as bone. You can rupture a blood vessel or a ligament, but you can't rupture a bone. Similarly you can fracture a bone but you can't fracture a ligament.

The ligament is what connects the bones in your ankle to one another, holding them in place. A fracture of the bone or rupture of the ligament will both feel quite similar and both will likely to be rendered immobile as they heal, hence the cast.  (+ info)

What are the symptoms of a plantar fascia rupture?

---

I was running yesterday and I felt a tearing sensation on the bottom of my foot and today I can barely walk. I've had plantar fasciitis before, this felt different. How do they treat plantar fascia rupture? Anyone know? Not a lot on the web about it.
If you strain your plantar fascia, it can become inflamed, weak and swollen, making it painful to stand or walk. The pain may be strongest when you first step out of bed in the morning or if you have been standing for long periods of time.
There are lots of different options for healing plantar fasciitis. You can give your feet a rest for a few days and avoid doing activities that make the pain worse. You can also trying icing the area, using an over-the-counter pain reliever and buying shoes with extra support. If your condition worsens, your doctor can give you shots of steroid medication.
If the pain in your foot persists, you should consult your doctor!

Is it possible to rupture a blood vessel in your penis?

---

I am a male and I had sex for the first time last night and when we were done, I noticed a small red circle near the base of my penis. It was the color of blood. It's somewhat diminished today. Did i bruise my penis or rupture a blood vessel or something? Perhaps the pressure on it from having sex did it?
EDIT: I should provide more information I am 21 years old and a senior in college. I held out for a long time I know lol. I am also a gay man, so I didn't bump against any "vaginal wall" but it could have been thrusting into the anal cavity to hard perhaps???? Any thoughts?
OMG I think it's a hickey!!!! That would make sense since he did suck pretty hard for foreplay!
Edit: Engaged... And you can just go somewhere I can't say on yahoo... Seriously. We were also not made to fly in airplanes or travel on wheels but we do anyway. Take your homophobia somewhere else and attempt to come out of the closet sometime.
This is a tough one. I could suspect a hickey, a rupture, or disease. To get to the bottom of this would require too many personal questions that should not be asked or answered here. If you're still in school, visit the school nurse (that person is NOT going to laugh at you or be judgmental) or the health center if you're in college. If you're an adult on your own, then ask a friend of yours who is a nurse, or see a doctor.  (+ info)
