Uterine Fibroids and Menstrual Changes:
- Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that often cause heavy or prolonged periods.
- It is uncommon for fibroids to cause periods to stop completely (amenorrhea).
Possible Causes for Stopped Periods:
- Consider other causes like hormonal imbalances, stress, pregnancy, or other medical conditions.
- Large fibroids might affect the uterine lining or blood flow, but complete cessation is unusual.
Recommended Action:
- Consult a gynecologist for evaluation, which may include ultrasound and hormone tests.
- A healthcare provider can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing this strange feeling in my mouth; it's like the skin is tightening and my tongue feels really sensitive. Could this be some kind of infection from having oral sex, especially if my partner has a UTI or an STD?

The sensation of skin tightening and a sensitive tongue could be due to a variety of causes, including irritation, allergic reactions, or infections. While some STDs can affect the mouth, such as oral herpes or syphilis, a UTI is unlikely to cause these symptoms. Its best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
