Trya mondays show was wonderful. I have a question about the topic. I get bumps that aren't from razers, all the time. They come around the time of my cycle. Why is that and how do I stop them from coming?

hey tyra,
i had sex for the first time and my period was supposed to come this week, but it didnt. we used a condom and he pulled out, but my period still hasn't come. my friends say it's normal, but i'm not sure. is this normal?

Thank you for having this show! I'm 21 and I go to the gynecologist every year and have had vaginal exams but not a pap smear yet. I'm getting my first one in 2 weeks and I was really freaked out about it until I saw your show today. I'm so thankful for your show you really touch on the issues that hardly anyone speaks openly about. It is such a relief to learn that most women have similar feelings and situations! Kudos to you!

I have heard that when you have kids your cramps are not as bad. I just had my 3rd child in April and my cramps are still miserable. Is this true?

Hi tyra, i get irritation from shaving and it becomes red and itchy..
is there anything i can do to prevent this?

Hi, since you were talking about major cramps and pain, I was wondering if any of the doctors you know would happen to know why when I get my period, my LEGS go numb and I'm unable to move/walk for about 6-10 hours. I've asked several gyno's and no one's been able to give me an answer.
Thanks!!!

I am in my early 60's and have been getting a pap-spear every year since I was 25. This year when I went for my annual pap-smear my results came back and I was told that my HPV was negative and that was very good but I was told that the test also showed that I had some "A" typical cells and to come back in 6 months for another pap-smear to see if the situation had cleared up by itself or if I needed to have more tests taken to see what was causing the situation. Can you tell me please more about what would cause "A" typical cells to be present? I would be very grateful for your knowledge and advice.

Hi Tyra,

Wow! today show was great. I almost started to cry when you took the young lady to see the gynecologist for the first time. I myself had my first pap smear at age 28 and was also a virgin and i totally identified w/ the young lady . I thought that she was incredibly brave to not only go to her first visit ,but to do it on tv so that other women could be inspired. Thank you so much for todays show it was soooooo wonderful of you to take it upon yourself to go w/ her . Hey why don't you have a show about virgins over the age of 25yrs old there is more of us out here then you may think:)
God bless,
Love ur show in Texas

Tyra,
I just wanted to thank you for the "what up down there show". So many talk shows are afraid to talk about issues because they feel that women are too embarrassed to watch, and they are too embarrassed to put themselves out there. Im seventeen and though I do have a mother to answer questions, she does not know everything nor would I want to ask her some of the personal things you covered in the show. Once again thankyou for having the courage to devote a whole show to a subject that is so tabooed in our society.

Tyra,
I watched the "What's Up Down There?" show today. I thought it was done in very good taste.

I’ve been married to my wife for 25 years and two months; we have 4 daughters and one son. I am a 47-year old male and what caught my attention about the show is that most women don't examine their vagina. I've never asked my wife if she examines her vagina, I just assumed she performs self-examinations on a regular basis, as she performs a regular breast exam in-between her regular ob/gyn appointments. After watching today’s show, I asked my wife if she performs a regular self-examination of her vagina.

I realize that today’s show was geared towards women but I was informed and educated as well.

Thanks.
Ed.....

I don't know if your shows are live and if you will be able to answer my question. But I wanted to try to get another opinion. I am 24 and a month ago I had a Pulmonary Embolism. They found that the cause was the excess estrogen in my system from the birth control that I had switched to. (I was using the Depo and switched to the Nuva Ring. We want to have another baby after we get married next summer.) Two different doctors told me that the only thing I can use from now on are condoms, sponges, etc. things that don't have estrogen. Is there anything else I could use? Thanks.

Tyra, I LOVE the fact that you brought a BLACK WOMAN DOCTOR on the show! Thanks for helping to change the stereotypes of America! It is rewarding and motivating to see more people that 'look like me' doing positive things! Thanks again - Shonna

Tyra
I think that it is really great that you do shows on the personal stories. I was also just wondering about the show from 11/5/07 and why it takes so long sometimes to have an oranaism?

I just have to say thank you. I was one of those women that was afraid to go to the gynecologist or look at myself in the mirror. I took both of those steps several months ago and regularly "check" myself since. That was how I noticed something wrong... I quickly went to my gynecologist and discovered that I was infected with HSV-1. If I hadn't taken those first steps, I would never have been brave enough to get the proper health care when I truly needed it.

Hopefully women will realize that their "downstairs" are just as important as the rest of their bodies. I think that this is a topic that you and your producers would consider discussing on the show on a semi-regular basis.

hey tyra, i love that you have a show talking about things like this. womens health is alot more important nowadays with all these different syndroms and things like that going on. i am 30yrs old and i just found out that i have PCOS. i was scared because i thought that i could not have children. reading more about it i found that i can it would just be hard to. i have been through so much with this; that i pray if you know anyone that does not have a period every month, or bleeds for at least a month or more like i do. have them ask about PCOS. my best friend told me to and i am glad i did. i spend over 10 yrs worring and wondering what was wrong with me.

Thank you Tyra for informing women everywhere just how important it is to know and protect our bodies! I suffered from HPV and endometriosis and ultimitely had to have a hysterectomy at only twenty-four. I was afraid to ask questions and didn't know what was normal so I put off symptoms that were telling me that I had a problem. I have had my daughter vaccinated with the Gardisil shot series and explained to her that this is one step towards protecting her future health. Thanks Tyra for talking about a topic that so many of us just shy away from. It shows us we shouldn't be embarrassed of our questions anymore because the answers may just save a life.

OK, Male here, and YES, I did watch the show. I found it interesting that you seemed to say that women are more afraid to talk about, and examine what's going on "Down there" compared to men. You need to do a whole other show about "What's going on down there" for MEN. So many men don't have any more of a clue about down there, than their female counter parts. OK, OK, I know you're viewed by more women than men, I'm sure, but you do have male viewers. And, for those guys who don't watch your show, their girlfriends/wifes could use this information to help them. Their is a whole list of things that could be discussed on such a show, that men should know, not just that dreaded chance for cancer. Just something to toss around and throw up on the board when you are brainstorming.
