Movies: “Flight of the Phoenix”
Starring James Stewart, Peter Finch,
and Ernest Borgnlne, This entire
movie is about the construction of
an airplane by the survivors of one
that has crashed. By some strange
chance, (probably a screen writers'
fantasy) an engineer is aboard who
has built model airplanes. He
masterminds the construction of the
plahe which they use to get away.
Like I said, the whole flick is
about the construction of this
plane. It’s a desert flick so lay in
plenty to drink. Channel 9.
Wednesday

In view of later developments, this

understatement. Channel 9.

Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner,
Box 974, East Lansing, Mi. 48823
Q: Are there any methods whereby a virgin woman with an intact hyman
can loss the pain usually associated with her first experience of sexual
intercourse?
A: The hymen is a thin (usually) membrane located Just past the urethra,
or urinary outlet, on the way into the vagina. The hyman has an opening
large enough to insert a finger or two or a tampon (tubular internal
sanitary napkin, i.e. Tampax). In very rare cases, the hyman may be
totally closed; this Is always discovered because menstruation becomes
Impossible, By the time a woman has sexual intercourse for the first time
these days, she has probably had some stretching of her hyman already.
This can be from heavy petting or the use of tampons.
If the hymenal opening is small, it can be stretched easily over a period
of a few weeks, A well lubricated finger, starting with a small one and
working up to a couple of fingers, gently inserted and moved around
stretches the hymen nicely. Some women are loathe to do this themselves
or to use a finger. A cooperative friend can help, or a gynecologist can
lend her a set of dilators (sort of artificial fingers). In situations where self
dilation Is not possible or doesn’t work, a physician can widen the opening
in the membrane In a couple of minutes with the aid of a local
anesthetic.
The horror stories that persist about painful first intercourse are largely
myths and misinformation perpetuated by ill informed roommates and
acquaintances. The stories are sufficiently anxiety provoking so that many
women face Intercourse for the first time with trepidation that should be
reserved for medieval tortures. Anxiety and anticipation of pain greatly
magnifies any discomfort that may exist.
Furthermore, it Is extraordinarily difficult. If not impossible to become
sexually aroused while anxious. Lack of the lubrication that normally
accompanies sexual excitement is a primary cause of painful intercourse
(first time or later). If a woman has a choice as to when she has
intercourse for the first time, she might pick an occasion when she Is
sexually excited, and when there Is plenty of time and comfortable enough
circumstances so the experience is not rushed. Finally, she and her partner
should have provided adequately for contraception.
Q: My first urine of the day Is accompanied by a foul odor, not unlike
that of rotten eggs. What could be causing this? I >feel no pain or burning,
but I do have to urinate quite frequently.
A: Urinary tract infections can cause foul smelling urine. Frequently can
be a sympton of an infection though there is no pain or burning.
Sometimes the odor of urine Is influenced by foods that we eat. Asparagus
is noteworthy for producing odoriferous urine. Since your condition sounds
as If It has been persistent, It would be wise to consult a physician.
*'**************
Q: I take birth control pills. Am I protected from pregnancy during the
week that I am not taking the pill each month? I’ve heard that It Is
possible to become pregnant during the menstrual period.
A: You are protected from pregnancy during the week you are not taking
the pill, assuming you have taken the pill correctly during the preceding
three weeks. The menstrual period associated with the pill Is not a true
one. Suppression of ovulation continues during the false period as the
system Is still under the influence of the hormones of the pill.
It is possible to become pregnant by having Intercourse during the
menstrual period, but it Is extremely rare. In order to be so lucky, the
woman would have to have a very short menstrual cycle (under 21 days)
and have Intercourse toward the end of menstruation. In this way, the
sperm might still be present and alive when she ovulates again and
pregnancy can occur.

Q: Owl My right Jaw aches. My wisdom teeth have been coming In on
both sides of my lower Jaw for three years and I have never had any
pain. Now my entire Jaw aches from the bottom of my ear down to my
molars, the tooth Itself does not ache. At times, I cannot close my mouth
and if I sneeze, the pain is almost unbearable. Neither the skin, tissues,
nor any glands feel swollen. Because the tooth Itself does not ache, I
question the cause. What do you think?
A: A fairly wide variety of difficulties can cause an aching Jaw. An
abscessed or Infected tooth can cause pain which is usually localized in the
area affected and is accompanied by considerable swelling. The gums
surrounding or partially covering wisdom teeth are especially prone to
Infection and inflammation from accumulated food and debris. The
inflammation can generalize to the entire area, cause swelling of lymph
nodes and result in a fair amount of pain on movement of the jaw. An
Infected or abscessed tooth must be treated by a dentist- in the case of
wisdom teeth they are often removed after the infection Is quited down.
Gum inflammations can be controlled by vigorous tooth brushingg, gum
massage and flushing the area with large amounts of water to keep food
particles from accumulating.
Many aching jaws result from problems within or around the joint where
the jaw hinges to the rest of your head (temporomandibular joint). Some
people actually develop an arthritis in this joint. More often, anxiety and
tension resulting in a constant clenching of the jaw results In sore muscles
and a sore joint. This can produce the exact symptoms you describe. As
V your teeth can result In mechanical stresses
which can lead to muscle aches and pains In the area. Vigorous gum
chewing or cigar chompina can also cause difficulties If you are out of
shape. A visit to the dentist is a sensible place to begin investigating the
problem.
