31. Re: Reaction to Gardasil Vaccine
Mar 5, 2009 5:11 PM | In response to: tray_sea83

My daughter had 2 Gardasil vaccines and approximately a year later has tested positive for high-risk HPV. We also believe that her HPV is the result of the vaccines because: she did not have HPV when she received the vaccines; she suffered SEVERE side effects from them which incapacitated her for 2 1/2 months; and she continues to experience menstrual problems even though it has been over a year.

Savanna was only 12 years old when her mother took her in for her regular check-up in November 2008. The doctor suggested Gardasil, and they both refused. Her mother had heard nothing negative about Gardasil, but cancer did not run in their family and Savanna was not sexually active; she saw no need for an extra jab for Savanna.

Why menstruation occurs

Posted by Leslie Carol Botha

Every month, a woman’s uterus prepares for pregnancy, except when she is already pregnant, on birth control hormones, or perhaps nursing a baby. The whole cycle usually takes about four weeks, as long as a lunar cycle, though anywhere from three to five weeks may be within normal range for an individual woman, and sometimes the cycle is less regular than that. Most months, the woman does not get pregnant, so the nest her uterus has prepared for the baby bleeds out. That is called menstruation.

Amenorrhea is a condition in a woman during her reproductive age when menstruation becomes totally absent. Amenorrhea has two different stages; the first being primary and second is secondary. The primary stage of amenorrhea is common in an adolescent girl of 14 to 16 years old where menstrual bleeding and other normal sexual development get stranded. This is during the stage of puberty even before the girl has started her periodic cycle. The secondary one is when a lady who has been menstruating all though suddenly stops menstruating. This condition happens in absence of the various reasons responsible for the same like pregnancy, intake of contraceptive pills, lactation or menopause.
