What does it mean to have the fallopian tube irrigated and what is a partial Salpingectomy? I was under the impression that my left fallopian tube was fully removed due to an ectopic pregnancy nine years ago, until last month when a CT showed tubal ligation clamps. I was never discussed nor possible future fertility treatments and other information regarding the procedure with the partial Salpingectomy. I had another eptopic pregnancy December of 2016 which resulted in my right Tube being fully removed. I have my report from the 2009 procedure but I am confused about the procedure and what my options are with partial Salpingectomy and should the doctor be held accountable for me being depressed in thinking i had no Left fallopian tube at all.

I recently had a doctor's exam for a lump in my armpit and a breast exam. I shaved my armpit that morning, and the doctor did not wear gloves. I am worried that if the doctor had a cut and blood came into contact with any nicks from shaving, could I be at risk for bloodborne diseases such as HIV?

Does international travel affect your period? I traveled from Hawaii to Japan in April and experienced jet lag, leading to inconsistent pill-taking times. When I got my period in May, it started and stopped irregularly with brown discharge throughout the month. In June, I still have brown discharge on the first day of the active pill. Should I be worried, and what can I do about it?
