  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday February 15, 1973 page 5 By £ana Starnes an d Dr. hibey Crist Question: Is it advisable or is it harmful to have sexual intercourse during your menstrual period'.' Also, I have always been very irregular; my periods range from four to six weeks a- part and even eight weeks apart twice, and last for four to five days never more, Is this an indication that something is wrong'.' -Signed, D,C, Dear D.C.: As to the advisability of having intercourse during a menstrual cycle, we leave that up to the individual couples involved. We know of no scientific evidence that has reported harm' in having sexual intercourse during a menstrual period. With regards to your Irregularity, please see your local physician. Question: last year, I took birth control pills for three months, and did not have a period during that time. My doctor said it was unusual, but not harmful, I stopped taking the pills, and thsn had a period two months later. My question is that I would like to take the pills again, but I am afraid of what they are doing to my system, Could you please comment on this - or suggest someone who could tell me exactly what my problem is? -Signed, Was Scared, Dear Was Scared: It is not unusual for a patient that in on birth control pills to have scanty periods or to miss a period, We suggest that before you start on the pills again, however, that you see a physician either in the Health Education Clinic or student infirmary for a thorough physical examination and repeat cancer smear. Question: How large are the various ILDs and is insertion painful?-Signed, M,B„ Dear M.B.t Intrauterine devices range in size from a quarter to the size of your thumb nail. The amount of pain depends on what part of the menstrual cycle you are in when the IUD is inserted, We usually recommend that the intrauterine device be inserted during The smallest HID is a delcon shield, largest is Orthu's gynacoil, The Question: I heard you speak about two years ago, and I seem to remember >ou saying that douching is not necessary, I am married now and I would like to know if this is true and why, If douching is necessary, what method do you most recommrnd? Also, how effective are Norforms? -Signed, Interested, Dear Interested: Douching is not necessary because it is felt that in most cases it will alter the normal acidity in the protective environment of the vagina, and thus may actually encourage infection. However, most women want to douche right after a menstrual period, and most doctors will recommend an occasional douche with a mild vinegar and water solution - usually one to two tablespoons of white distilled vinegar to a quart of warm vviter, We feel that the commercially prepared solutions arc not necessary and the most they do is sensitize the sensitive vaginal mucousa. We are not aware of any studies that have compared Norform to douching with vinegar and water. Question: In your article of Monday, September 20, 1971, you answered a question from "Inquisitive Reader" regarding male circumcision in older males, I am approximately six years older than Inquisitive and am on the verge of getting married next year and am considering the same operation; however, some of the comments I have heard regarding the long and painful convalescence period have held me back. How long is the convalescence period and how painful will this time period be for an older male? Also, how long must the male remain in the hospital? -Signed, Abhors pain and suffering, Dear Abhors pain and suffering: The convalescence period usually lasts from three to four weeks, The pain varies with the individual At the pri-sent time circumcisions are done in the hospital and the patient stays in the hospital overnight, The surgeon's fee runs somewhere between S70 and $80, however, this may be misleading since other costs have to be figured in. This could include recovery room fee, use of hospital bed, anesthesia time and laboratory fees. This could bring the cost up to somewhere between S200 and $300, We understand that plans are being made to start doing circumcisions in the clinic and this would certainly reduce the cost considerably, Please contact the Urology department of N.C, Memorial Hospital for further details. Question: Whenever my girl friend and I make love I am hampered by prercnture ejaculation, especially if I do not use a condom, My ejaculation will usually occur two minutes after I have entered (often less). If we practice fellatio the time required for me to ejaculate is greatly increased, Is there any solution for my problem, as my "quickies" leave my girl friend very unsatisfied and/or frustrated, -Signed, DWP Dear DWP: There is a solution to your problem, Treatment is available based on the work done by Masters and Johnson using the principle of sensate facus and a manuever called the "squeeze technique," Professional help is required. The results of treatment reported by Masters and Johnson have been quite impressive. Of the 186 men that were treated at the foundation there were only four failures, Please get in touch with Dr, Crist at 966- 2136 for proper referral, (Questions should be addressed to Lana Starnes and Dr, Takey Crist, in care of the Daily Tar Heel, Student Union, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.) a menstrual period. 5th Dimension Concert Tickets Go On Sale Monday, Feb. 9 Student Government Productions has announced that tickets for the 5th Dimension concert, March 5, will go on sale, Monday, Feb, 19.
