I have a copper IUD and have had it for almost 3 months. I started my period 2 weeks after my last one, and this time it is extremely heavy. I know heavy menstrual bleeding is a side effect, but it hasn't happened before. Should I go see my GYN?

My grandson is 12 years old but is very small for his age, about the size of an average 8-9 year old, and his emotional maturity is also at that level. A couple of years ago, an endocrinologist suggested considering human growth hormone if he hadn't started growing by the time his friends entered puberty. Is this appropriate, and does emotional maturity align with physical maturity if there is a hormonal problem?

My husband had an allergic reaction to hair dye several weeks ago. He initially used over-the-counter antihistamines and hydrocortisone, but the rash has now spread all over his body, including his feet and buttocks. The oozing has stopped, but the red, bumpy rash is still very itchy and inflamed. What can we do to get rid of this rash, especially since he currently has no medical coverage and cannot afford to see a specialist?

Why am I abusive to my wife? I was sexually molested as a child and had traumatic experiences with both boys and men. I have had bi-sexual experiences and have been in relationships with women where I exhibited abusive behavior. I am confused about my sexuality and my feelings towards women. Do I have a borderline personality disorder? Am I just mean and angry all thetime? Do I require psychotherapy? I have been taking pills for anxiety and depression, but I still struggle with anger and abuse towards my wife. What is wrong with me?
