It’s now easier to get antibiotics for UTIs. But here’s what to do if your symptoms don’t go away

Many women can go straight to the pharmacy and get antibiotics without having to wait to see a doctor. But some symptoms can signal a more serious infection.

#PuertoRico governor signs law to recognize #fetus as human being as critics warn of consequences

By DÁNICA COTO, February 12, 2026

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — "Puerto Rico’s governor on Thursday signed a bill that amends a law to recognize a fetus as a human being, a move doctors and legal experts warn will have deep ramifications for the U.S. Caribbean territory.

"The amendment was approved without #PublicHearings and amid concerns from opponents who warned it would unleash confusion and affect how doctors and pregnant or potentially #PregnantWomen are treated.

"The new law will lead to 'defensive health care,' warned Dr. Carlos DĂ­az VĂ©lez, president of Puerto Rico’s College of Medical Surgeons."

Puerto Rico governor signs widely disputed law to recognize fetus as human being

Puerto Rico’s governor has signed a bill that amends a law to recognize a fetus as a human being. It's a move that doctors and legal experts warn will have deep ramifications for the U.S. territory. The amendment was approved Thursday without public hearings and amid concerns from opponents who warned it would unleash confusion and affect how doctors and pregnant or potentially pregnant women are treated. The president of Puerto Rico’s College of Medical Surgeons warned that the new law would lead to “defensive health care" and questioned why the medical sector was never consulted.

Vielen Dank fĂŒr das Bekanntmachen dieses Threads.

Deshalb brauchen wir Gendermedizin.
Endlich.

Vielleicht magst du noch den Hashtag #WomensHealthcare zufĂŒgen, darunter haben wir im Fediverse schon einige Dinge zur Frauengesundheit gesammelt.

Ich hol hier mal nen Thread von Bsky rĂŒber, weil er sehr wichtig und informativ ist (von @raindiercks.bsky.social):

So. Wie angekĂŒndigt. Hier mein wĂŒtender Rant zum Thema #Frauengesundheit ab 35. Genau genommen zu den Themen #Perimenopause #Menopause #Wechseljahre #Womenshealthcare. Und zu der unterirdischen Ă€rztlichen Versorgung. Ja, ja, ĂŒber die Themen spricht man nicht. Nee, genau das muss sich Ă€ndern! Denn wusstet ihr, 1/

Der mĂ€nnliche Körper reagiert anders auf Krankheiten als der weibliche Körper. Das haben Medizin und Forschung lange Zeit ignoriert – und lebensgefĂ€hrliche Fehldiagnosen riskiert.

I just found out yesterday that Vermont guarantees the right to contraceptives & sterilization in their constitution. I feel so dumb that I got excited about NH HB606 when we could have just gone to Vermont. (HB 606 will still help women who can’t go out of state for whatever reason but how was I so uninformed??)

Also the link claims to contain a list of providers that will do sterilization procedures on people who are 21 years old regardless of their family status, so they presumably would help trans people who want to be sterilized who don’t have a medical condition like 606 requires.

VT constitution guarantees "That an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy is central to the liberty and dignity to determine one's own life course and shall not be denied or infringed unless justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means."

18 V.S.A. § 9493: (a) The State of Vermont recognizes the fundamental right of every individual to choose or refuse contraception or sterilization.

**I have seen Courtney Jones, Concord NH & while she was obsessed with giving me a hysterectomy (yay!) she was not at all helpful with perimenopause & she told me to my face that my vomit level migraines were not due to my menstrual cycle at all until neurology did then she pretended she had been saying that all along, so don’t see her-she’s a gaslighter.**
