| 14-year itch? | | 5:19pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | I have been married to my husband for 14 years.
To my astonishment, he has just suggested he
would like to see me making love with other
men. |
| Trouble up top | | 5:18pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | I am 25 and since I started on a new brand of Pill,
I have had awful pain at the top of both breasts.
My doctor says it is “mastitis”. However, I’m
really terrified I may have cancer. |
| Smoker’s lung | | 5:17pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | I have a stressful job, so I smoke ten a day to
keep myself calm. However, I now find I’m
coughing each morning and bringing up some
rather mucky-looking stuff. |
| Sore point | | 5:15pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | I recently acquired a great new boyfriend, who
is wonderful in bed. But after a night with him,
I was alarmed to see my clitoris had become very
swollen and painful. |
| Low joint | | 5:13pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | My mother, age 60, recently had an X-ray and
the report said there was “a little osteoarthritis” in her knee. The whole family is alarmed by this. |
| Lactation sensation | | 5:06pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | While breast-feeding my new baby the other day,
I suddenly found myself feeling very “horny”. As
soon as my partner came home, I got him to make
love. Is there something wrong with me? |
| Tender tum | | 5:04pm Monday 12th May 2008 | | My doctor has given me some pills for a sports
injury. But every time I swallow one, I get a really bad pain in my tummy. |
| On the take | | 5:04pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | Yesterday I was telling my doctor about the
various vitamins I always take and she replied
abruptly: “Don’t waste your money on that
rubbish!” |
| Taking up the slack | | 5:02pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | Since I gave birth to my third baby, I have felt very “slack” down below. This is having a bad effect on my relationship with my partner because both of us feel my vagina is now much too loose. |
| Into danger | | 4:58pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | I'm 36, and last night in bed my boyfriend pointed out my left nipple has suddenly started turning inwards. |
