Lupus patient due to have cervical surgery next month, any special considerations to be aware with regard to my lupus.

If you are undergoing steroid treatment, or have recently completed a course of such treatment, you should let the surgeon know before the operation. You should also advise the surgeon and any nurses who will be present if you have sore joints or pain in your back which may make you uncomfortable during the procedure. Beyond this, it's unlikely that you will encounter any special difficulties. Most cervical surgery can be done quite quickly and without deep incisions, reducing the chance of complications.

I started masturbating at a young age maybe age 8 or 9 and was always able to achieve orgasm. When I turned 16 I became sexually active and since then I haven't been able to achieve the same thing since rather it be during sex or masturbation. I can get close sometimes but it feels like I get half of an orgasm never the full thing like I used to it's as if I hit a brick wall and boom it's gone. It's very frusterating and I don't understand why I stopped even being able to get one during masturbation. I started taking birth control 3 months after starting to have sex so I thought mabe that had affected me but I have been off it now for a month and have not seen any change. Please help do you know of any reasons why this could have happened? Thank you

At 22 wks weeks my husband and I went in for a regular prenatal exam and I was told my Ob/gyn that I needed to go and have emergency surgery to have a cerclae put in to keep my little second child from being delivered early. So of course I had the surgery just to better my baby's chance of survival. I still delivered at 35wks 5days but my baby was born healthy (5lbs 8oz). I was told after delivery that there was scarrig done to my cervix from the cerclage. My dr. didn't have time to remove the cerclage before my water broke so he burst through my cerclage. At my pap smear, my regular Ob dr. said that I had a hole in my cervix that is almost beyond repair so having another baby would be very high risk. I found out at an appt yesterday that I maybe pregnant. Should I fear the worse or be as happy as I want to be?
