Periods, Pregnancy, and Chick stuff

Since this seems to be a topic that generates many questions amongst us girls, I thought I would post a link here to an excellent DAN article that covers most of it.

Topics covered are cancers, breast issues including breast feeding and diving,(is that what I have to look forward to, pee-valves for my nipples while diving in a drysuit? :p ) pregnancy and diving, endometriosis, breast implants and diving, menstruation, birth control, osteoporosis, etc, all as it relates to us girls and diving.

Here is the DAN article.

Thanks, I actually just printed that out for my female students.

What about for guys ?! Why aren't there medical stuffs related to diving for guys ?

:-)

Hi CADiver, welcome by the way! :)

Anyway, many women who get into our great sport have concerns related to women stuff.....so we created a forum for women to interact and ask female related questions.

I think guys should get equal time with their own special forum time too so there is a guy forum where guys can talk about guy stuff if they want to. How's that for fairness!? :)

No I'm not, just wondering where us guys can talk about our prostate issues?

So create a new thread concerning about guys

Lottie :o)

Any time us girls create something and say girls only, it is like a wet paint sign, lol, but we love our guys! ;)

...yes.
Can't live with 'em. Can't live without 'em

:D

Thanks for the article link posting

Thanks for the link, a friend of mine just found out she is pregnant. Of course she has concerns about diving and such so I am going to pass this along to her.

As far as the ScubaChix and Manly Man areas, I think they should be eliminated. I would rather see this in a SCUBA health and medical area. The thing is many of us "Manly Men" is most of us have "ScubaChix" in our lives and visaversa so this information is just as important to us.

Plus where do all the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transexuals, crossderssers, transgenders, and anything else they will think of go? Do we need to make areas for them as well? (Just a little fun from another thread)
