treatment during the primary infection may be an opportunity to help the body is natural defense system to work against hiv thus patients may gain improved control of their infection while on therapy and perhaps even after therapy is stopped at one time the hope was that if therapy was started very early in the course of the infection hiv could be eradicated most evidence today however suggests that this is not the case consequently early treatment is not likely to result in a cure although other benefits may still exist the current recommendation is that patients with primary infection should be referred to clinical studies where the potential role of therapy can be discussed and further explored if emotional or social situations make adherence to such treatment questionable however

have in common not a lot except they were both part of my weekend i flew to quebec city on thursday for a pair of speaking engagements over the weekend my afternoons were spent at a quaint country restaurant that overlooked the st lawrence river i spoke on what i am passionate about great food healthy eating and ways to bring more of that into your family is life a common theme amongst the crowd was what to do with the picky eaters in their families sometimes i feel like we are misusing the word “picky ” it almost gives the impression that the eater is carefully selecting and discerning about their ingredients i do not consider an adult or a child who will only eat pizza hot dogs and chicken nuggets “picky ” i consider them really deprived and terrible eaters it is time to stand up and place the challenge back on the parents with the question “what are you willing to do ” if i were to tell you that it is time to break your kids out of the salty processed food habit could you stick to it will you be willing to have a few nights of introducing new healthy food that they may initially reject it helps if you start them truly hungry — so no giant glass of juice or milk with dinner it also helps if you throw in some education explain the benefits of fresh vegetables and lean proteins for muscle development brain development healthy skin better eyes etc it will be natural

soapbox for us to get back in the kitchen and start cooking more if you feel like your kid is only eating pizza for 12 out of 21 meals in the week a good transition is to help them make an after school “pizza” on a sprouted grain english muffin with organic tomato sauce and a non processed cheese like a low fat mozzarella and a sprinkle of fresh herbs have them help to make it and if you do not already have potted herbs or fresh herbs in your garden i encourage you to start now and have your children pick some for the family meals watch as the “picky” eaters in your family start picking

can i keep my hair and skin oil free in the summer,oily hair is a natural production if you wash your hair frequently it causes your body to produce more oil the less you wash it the more the production slows down ways to absorb body oil is to use baby powder just use a small amount at the roots and pat the white color out some hair salons have colored hair powder that can be used if you do not like the white powder as for the face or skin a light lotion that is less greasy should be applied as a moisturizer there are also face towelettes that can be used to blot the face and

taking plavis i was taking plavix for at least 11 years and have never felt good 3 months ago i stopped taking plavix and feel better my question is does taking omega3 fish oils have the same affect on the blood,i strongly urge you to contact your doctor as soon as possible by going off plavix you have put yourself at a much greater risk of experiencing a life threatening blood clot no one should discontinue a prescription blood thinner without consulting their doctor first you do not say why you were prescribed plavix clopidogrel but it is often given to people after they have had a heart attack recent stroke angioplasty procedure or if they have peripheral vascular disease these conditions put a person at an increased risk of developing a blood clot that travels to the lungs or possibly the brain causing problems breathing or a stroke to answer your question omega 3 oils are thought to have blood thinning properties but they are in no way a substitute for a prescription anticoagulant like clopidogrel in fact a 2002 study showed they had no effect on coagulation or platelet function after surgery clopidogrel works by making your platelets a type of red blood cell that enables blood to clot more slippery so they do not stick together easily this effect reduces the chances of blood clotting and traveling to the lungs or brain again i urge you to contact your doctor and discuss this issue with him or her at three months without plavix you could very well have a blood clot brewing your healthcare provider will want to examine you and perhaps run some tests to make sure you are safe there are many other types of anticoagulants available for your use besides clopidogrel if that product causes side effects wishing you well +it is the weekend i am experiencing an allergic reaction to newly prescribed metformin is it ok to take benadryl i will call my doctor tomorrow morning for the time being is it ok to take benadryl,well that is an interesting question i suggest you consult your gynecologist to make sure everything is doing fine medically speaking some women find they feel more frisky after tubal ligation or hysterectomy because they know they can not become pregnant for some women this knowledge makes them feel more relaxed and playful about sex perhaps this is the case for you i can not think of any medical reason why a tubal ligation would make you feel aroused all the time but if it is a problem then i certainly suggest you consult a medical professional if it is not a problem i would suggest going with the flow and enjoying yourself take

if that makes sense when i try to stand with proper posture i get a pain between my shoulder blades very little movement in my back neck and shoulder area i do not want to bombard my doctor with too many questions what should i ask her what do you think she will do to help,your question is an important one for women with epilepsy who wish to have a family there is little scientific information on this subject and most of what we know if based on clinical experience of doctors taking care of women with epilepsy the bottom line is that most physicians with expertise in managing epilepsy encourage their patients to breastfeed even if they are taking anti seizure medicine the baby has developed for nine months in the presence of the anti seizure medicine and as such for the baby to continue to be exposed to it after delivery usually does not create problems i am unaware of any [known] descriptions of problems with breastfeeding while on trileptal oxcarbazepine if blood levels are done in mom and her baby while breastfeeding the baby is level will be around half of the mother is so the baby is definitely getting some of the drug but it usually does not create problems as

article pointed out that there is every good reason for patients to understand the nature of a doctor is training and by which board he is certified first let me explain that board certification implies that the doctor has “passed the tests ” the tests are completion of an approved residency program and passing oral and written examinations at the conclusion of the residency these residency programs are monitored by the individual specialty as well as other credentialing organizations such as the american medical association the american college of surgeons the american hospital association the american residency system is the envy of the world board certification is an important qualification credential and emblem that one is considered in the eyes of his fellow doctors to be qualified to practice the specialty the confusion arises in areas where there is no specific board cosmetic surgery is one of those there is no american board of cosmetic surgery that is within the scope of the american board of medical specialties that organization regulates the 23 major specialties in most states any licensed physician is not restrained from any aspect of medical practice that may sound surprising but the reality is that states only license physicians as physicians and not by specialty it has been stated that “cosmetic surgery can be performed by any licensed physician from a plastic surgeon to a pediatrician ” the reality is that you will not find any pediatricians or psychiatrists performing cosmetic surgery because they cannot get privileges to perform them in a properly credentialed hospital or outpatient surgery center the medical board of california which licenses and disciplines doctors does list each physician is board certification that information is given to the board by the physician himself every doctor should be proud of his background training and credentials it should not be hard for patients to glean whether or not the specialty in which a doctor is certified is appropriate for their particular needs +i have bloody stools for 2 years is this irritable bowel syndrome,definitely it could be due to low fiber intake and low water intake ibs

+are yeast infections contagious,no yeast infections are not contagious in the way a cold or the flu is yeast infections are caused by a fungus more specifically a yeast called candida candida is a commensal organism meaning that under healthy conditions it lives harmlessly in our bodies we all have candida living on our skin and in our intestines and healthy women carry candida in their vaginas when the body is defenses are in balance candida is not noticeable or bothersome however certain conditions can give candida the opportunity to grow excessively a low functioning immune system use of topical or oral corticosteroids such as prednisone often for asthma or autoimmune conditions damage to the mucous membranes the skin lining the mouth vagina and gi tract antibiotic use in these situations candida can grow on the skin or in the lining of the mouth gi tract or vagina the fungus creates a white patch or plaque across the mucous membranes in the mouth visible candida infection is called thrush in the vagina it is a yeast infection in people with weakened immune systems candida can grow almost anywhere in the body because candida is normally present in all our bodies someone with thrush can not exactly pass it to someone else that person already has candida to develop thrush a yeast infection or another candida infection that person may have one or more of the above risk factors or conditions +is it okay to have a tb skin test the day before oral surgery i need a tb test done for college and am scheduled to get it tomorrow but am having my wisdom teeth surgically

and onto my shoulders i was recomended to try a fluid diet and i was wondering if that would help to clear it enough to give the cream a chance to really help because im in a lot of pain and its really itchy thank you hannah,a fluid diet for eczema never heard of it as part of any treatment eczema is genetically dry skin so if you are having an exacerbation or worsening of your symptoms you may need a change in treatment the mainstay of eczema management is moisturization so find a good moisturizing cream that is free of perfumes topical steroid creams are very helpful but the best ones require a prescription call your medical provider control itching with antihistamines assuming you can take this type of medication please avoid scratching and digging at these areas open eczematous skin can become secondarily infected so if you think your eczema is infected you will need to consult your medical provider for treatment usually antibiotics eczema is usually with you for life so finding the right combination of medications and supportive treatments is important i do not think a fluid diet for two weeks is going to help in any way +my systolic pressure is 124 and my diastolic

much would mean your mans sperm is not mature enough you need mature sperm to get pregnant so stop for a month let his sperm get healthy so day 1 is the first day of your period day 14 give or take a day should be ovulation day you heed to have unprotected sex day 8 or 9 this gives you mans sperm time to get in place its ok it can live for up to 7 days inside you its there just waiting for your egg to fall but do not worry some sperm go left and the rest right so if by day 21 you get spotting then the chances are your pregnant a week after you miss your next period you go get tested best at your doctors but do stay relaxed in mind and body getting can be that easy but if you stress yourself you could blow your chances its just best to put it to the back of your mind and just enjoy the

some i have went to the doctor and they did an x ray and said things looked fine but since i am still having problems i feel like something else is wrong could i possibly have a fracture or is it just

be mild moderate or severe if you have injured only a little bit of the ligament you may be able to walk on the foot and just have mild swelling with a more severe sprain you will not be able to walk most importantly it is important to treat the ankle well while healing this means full rest elevation of the ankle ice and medicine to reduce the swelling stay off of that foot either resting or with crutches for at least 7 10 days if you did not do that it is possible that the ankle ligament is not properly healed in your case its important to see your doctor again if it is still causing you pain

knees could be due to a variety of different reasons i would first see how your body responds to doing other exercise that may be a little lower impact such as walking swimming kayaking water aerobics using the elliptical rowing stair climbing yoga or some strength training exercises you can determine if the problem is specific to the type of exercise that you are doing this way you might just be doing too much too soon with jogging try dialing back your current jogging routine by building in more days of rest in between exercise sessions spending less time per session or jogging at a slower pace you could also try experimenting by adding interval training into your routine where you incorporate intermittent bouts of jogging into your walking routine lastly try experimenting with different ground surfaces if you are jogging outside the grass or a dirt path might provide less impact than concrete also it might be worthwhile to invest in good pair of running shoes as well if your painsoreness persists in spite of making some of these changes then i would suggest meeting with a doctorspecialist and discontinuing jogging until you can find out what is causing this +regular

get angry easily and hold on to it i do not like the way i feel which makes me even more upset omg what the heck,i am sorry to hear you are experiencing these distressing symptoms being a woman is rarely easy when you say you had a partial hysterectomy i am not sure exactly how to interpret that the term hysterectomy refers to removal of the uterus only however many women use the term to mean they had their uterus and their ovaries removed are you saying you had your uterus removed but retained one or both ovaries i am going to go with that interpretation at age 45 you could indeed be entering menopause it is a little early but not unheard of having had your uterus removed should not really affect how well your ovaries function maybe they are just starting to wind down naturally your best bet is to see a gynecologist he or she can assess whether or not you are in perimenopause if you are there are certain things you will want to know such as how menopause affects vaginal tissue you may also want to decide whether or not to go on hormone replacement therapy of course there could be other causes for your symptoms a sluggish thyroid comes to mind we women tend to attribute all our mood changes to estrogen levels but that is not valid many other hormones can affect the way we feel physically and emotionally it would be good to get a workup from a medical professional to find out what is really going on wishing you well +20 year immunity cycles i keep getting sinusitis every 6 8 months for the last 2 years prior to that i was getting this every 2 4

on taking this important first step in reducing your weight to a healthy level i salute you second be sure you have received the ok from your health care provider to undertake a diet and exercise program if your doctor has cleared you to exercise then your shortness of breath may be normal simply due to your current size do not let this discourage you it may not be realistic for you to expect to perform say 20 minutes of aerobic activity at this point that time will come right now 2 minutes might actually be more realistic for you i would suggest you start with simply walking if you can manage to walk for 2 minutes 10 times a day there is your 20 minutes do that every day and you will gradually build up stamina if you have been watching one of those television shows where 300+ pound

mulberry root extract or hydroquinones that can even out the skin tone and when you add ingredients in like caffeine and the niacinamide as i just mentioned that also can help with the redness and

+what are gallstones,gallstones are stones that form in the gall bile bile is a watery liquid made by the cells of the liver that is important for digesting food in the intestine particularly fat liver cells secrete the bile they make into small canals within the liver the bile flows through the canals and into larger collecting ducts within the liver the intrahepatic bile ducts the bile then flows within the intrahepatic bile ducts out of the liver and into the extrahepatic bile ducts first into the hepatic bile ducts then into the common hepatic duct and finally into the common bile duct from the common bile duct there are two different directions that bile can flow the first direction is on down the common bile duct and into the intestine where the bile mixes with food and promotes digestion of food the second direction is into the cystic duct and from there into the gallbladder often misspelled as gall bladder once in the gallbladder bile is concentrated by the removal absorption of water during a meal the muscle that makes up the wall of the gallbladder contracts and squeezes the concentrated bile in the gallbladder back through the cystic duct into the common duct and then into the intestine concentrated bile is much more effective for digestion than the un concentrated bile that goes from the liver straight into the intestine the timing of gallbladder contraction during a meal allows the concentrated bile from the gallbladder to mix with food gallstones usually form in the gallbladder however they also may form anywhere there is bile in the intrahepatic hepatic common bile and cystic ducts gallstones also may move about within bile for example from the gallbladder into the cystic or common duct +what should i do if i suspect an overdose

seen people use rubbing alcohol on their skin and that has no effect on the type of bacteria that causes acne and will only dry out and irritate your skin so what you really need to do is to use

it is related to having your iud taken out or it could be hormonal as you are trying to become pregnant are you taking any hormones either way keep a menstrual journal a written record of how many days you bleed and how heavily it flows and how much pain or other related symptoms you feel on each of the days show this record to your gyno after about 2 months in the meantime be sure your gynecologist he or she is aware that you are having this bleeding problem if there is pain either while you are bleeding or in that region any other time including during intercourse be sure to tell herhim that too write it down as well on the menstrual journal the idea is to determine a pattern if your system becomes more stable and your periods become more regularly spaced and less heavy and severe as time passes that will be good because it should indicate that your hormones simply needed to adjust and are becoming normalized but if this does not happen if you keep right on having either very long periods or very heavy periods or more than one period a month or any combination of those things you will need to have your gyno do a complete examination and look over your menstrual journal this will be crucially important because you will need to rule out any serious health issues that might have either started showing up because they had been hidden by the iud or have just developed right now you may have endometriosis which is a condition that can be disguised by iuds or by taking birth control medications you will need to rule out anything like uterine or ovarian cancer which are unlikely but can sometimes happen and you need to be sure you do not have hpv or other health conditions which can be catching and you need to be certain the iud did not accidentally cause inflammation or injury either while it was in or while it was being removed hope you are well soon and good luck in becoming pregnant if all goes well before long you will have a healthy baby

unfortunately that is not how it works unless you have a pre existing calcium deficiency not likely in an otherwise healthy 16 year old boy taking calcium will not help your bones heal the process of bone healing is called remodeling your body removes dead bone cells and builds new ones in their place this process occurs on a pretty predictable schedule for common fractures like the one you describe the remodeling process normally takes 6 to 8 weeks unfortunately your son will just have to wait this out what will help the bones heal on schedule is not engaging in activities that put stress on the areas of the fracture resting the hand to keep the fractures stable will allow the body to do its remodeling job and get the bones back to normal wishing you well +can vitamin b12

in breathing for 10 weeks and a constant cough for 6 months with clear phlemg,shingles can occur in many areas of the body if the outbreak is on his chest back abdomen etc where it can be easily covered by clothing the risk of transfer will not be very high if it is on his face then more caution against direct skin to skin contact should be exercised assuming that he is currently under treatment usually with an oral anti viral medication this will also reduce the chance of spreading it to others your two year old is vulnerable assuming they had a varicella chicken pox vaccination at age one if not exposure to shingles can actually give an unimmunized person chicken pox for you assuming you had chicken pox as a child or the vaccine you are also vulnerable from direct skin to skin contact do the best that you can without treating your husband like a leper not everyone who is exposed will even get it but a few simple precautions like covering the area with clothing will help my husband had shingles and both my daughters got chicken pox the incubation period is 14 to 21 days from the time they first are exposed he had them on his chest and they did not come in contact with that part of him but they got them anyway i think exposure is more than touching the scabs evidently but the old saying that if you get them once you will not get them again is only true with chicken pox if a person is susceptible and exposed and their resistance is low they will get shingles if exposed to them or if their body will not fight it off some people opt for a shot that i am not sure of the name of it but if a person gets it within a certain amount of time after the recover from the shingles they are less likely to get them again but they say it is quite expensive so just being in the same house and touching things the person with shingles has touched will cause a child to contact the chicken pox as it is of the same virus if you expose him to it he will only catch chicken pox which if you have it once you can never get it again +are there any stretches or exercises that can prevent cramping in my feet when i exercise,stretches and strengthening may or may not help and it depends on what the cause of the cramping is check with your doctor if exercises do not help and the problem persists here are stretches for your calves and your feet hold each stretch until your muscles feel looser and repeat two to three times with each leg do these every day calf stretch gastrocnemius muscle 1 lean against a wall with both hands and keep your back straight 2 the leg that you want to stretch should be straight back with the heel flat on the floor 3 bring the other leg forward with the knee bent 4 move your hips toward the wall while keeping your rear foot flat on the floor 5 put a folded towel under the ball of your foot keeping heel down to lift the foot and increase the stretch calf stretch soleus muscle 1 take the same starting position as the stretch above 2 lean forward with your hips but this time bend the knee of the rear leg this will put the stretch lower in your calf near the achilles tendon and will also stretch the muscles in the foot 3 hold on to the back of a chair if you need balance here are strengthening exercises repeat 12 15 repetitions three sets each do these every other day heel raises 1 while standing with shoes on lift your heels off the floor end on tippy toes 2 to accentuate the movement stand on the edge of a step with heels off the edge like a back dive off a diving board and lower heels below the step then raise hold the wall or banister for balance towel pull 1 sit in a chair barefoot with your toes on the edge of a towel start flexing curling your toes and pulling the towel to draw it up under your toes marblepencil grab 1 pick up marbles or pencils with your toes while sitting or standing barefoot make sure that your shoes fit well in addition to the stretching and strengthening tight shoes and even tight laces can cause the muscles in the feet to cramp particularly if you do long periods of exercise exercising on a cardio machine like the elliptical where the foot remains in the same place for long periods can also cause cramping try the following if you experience cramping while on the elliptical 1 shifting your feet 2 leaning your weight on your arms 3 pedaling backward or 4 stopping and getting off to walk around it is not always easy to determine the cause of cramping in addition to the exercise conditions listed above cramping can also be caused by medications for example diuretics nutritional deficiencies hydration status and circulatory problems check with your doctor to rule out medical causes if none of the exercises help and the cramps continue +my mother feels anxious claustrophobic lost appetite and lethargic,the things that he fears appears to have loud noises start by having his hearing tested by a professional audiologist in a sound controlled booth he may have ultra

having diabetes and high blood pressure,a good appetite is a sign of good health but if your appetite has suddenly increased in might be a sign of disease an important distinguishing point is if you

weight gain steroids such as prednisone and dexamethasone which are given for asthma joint and skin problems can cause an increased appetite certain antidepressants cause an increased appetite and

parent passes along the gene mutation that causes cf the child is called a cf carrier because if he or she has a child with another person who is a cf carrier their child will have cystic fibrosis if you are a cf carrier you do not have the disease and cannot get the disease cf is not in any way related to copd which is usually caused by external factors such as smoking tobacco copd is not an inherited disease and cannot be caught from another person copd is not in any way related to or associated with carrying the cystic fibrosis gene mutation if a cystic fibrosis carrier develops copd

realize experiencing a severe headache while taking a blood thinner can be a sign of a medical emergency especially if it is accompanied by sudden weakness dizziness confusion or the inability to speak clearly in that case you should call 911 as you probably know all the over the counter headache remedies called non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs nsaids have blood thinning properties therefore it may not be a good idea to combine them with a prescription anticoagulant blood thinner nsaids include aspirin ibuprofen and naproxyn read the label of any brand name medication to see if it contains any of these so what does that leave you with acetaminophen tylenol is the primary over the counter pain reliever that does not contain an nsaid assuming you are not allergic to it you can

there needs to know what is normal so if there is a change they can say aha this lump was not there last month men are supposed to do testicular self exams they should be doing an exam ideally once a month best in the shower when they are soapy and wet and that will tell them what their normal baseline is but our biggest problem in urology is that men are diagnosed with testicular cancers late

inability to digest and absorb sugars the most well recognized malabsorption of sugar occurs with lactase deficiency also known as lactose or milk intolerance in which milk products containing the milk sugar lactose lead to diarrhea the lactose is not broken up in the intestine because of the absence of an intestinal enzyme lactase that normally breaks up lactose without being broken up lactose

malabsorption other sugars in the diet also may cause diarrhea including fructose and sorbitol fat malabsorption malabsorption of fat is the inability to digest or absorb fat fat malabsorption may

common cold is a self limited contagious illness that can be caused by a number of different types of viruses the common cold is medically referred to as a viral upper respiratory tract infection symptoms of the common cold may include cough sore throat nasal congestion runny nose and sneezing more than 200 different types of viruses are known to cause the common cold with rhinovirus causing approximately 30 35 of all adult colds other commonly implicated viruses include coronavirus adenovirus respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza virus because so many different viruses can cause a cold and because new cold viruses constantly develop the body never builds up resistance against all of them for this reason colds are a frequent and recurring problem in fact children in preschool and elementary school can have six to 12 colds per year while adolescents and adults typically have two to four colds per year the common cold occurs most frequently during the fall and winter months the common cold is the most frequently occurring illness in the world and it is a leading cause of doctor visits and missed days from school and work it is estimated that individuals in the united

dysmorphic disorder is a very recognized condition where the patient is mind does not really reflect what their appearance is they always thing that they are not as good looking not as young they are unhappy with their appearance and despite having often very nice and appropriate procedures they want more they want something different well frankly in our training for example we were trained by psychiatrists in interviewing you know how to interview how to ask the question how to get to it now sometimes it is not very hard because you know they come to us and they are 38 years old and they have had 3 face lifts already but sometimes you have got to do a little more work but generally you kind of get at the issues because you look at them and you listen and you get a sense and it just does not seem right in other words the patient is worries seem disproportional to how good they look to you that is how you sort it out and the sorting is important because that patient generally presents i think a much bigger challenge than one might want to take on because they often are not satisfied regardless of the high quality of the work delivered that is one condition that has to be sorted out the other condition is someone who does not necessarily have the wrong view of their appearance they just feel like they have to be up to the minute and every year they just have to have something done to keep up with the joneses almost it is like a badge of honor or courage oh yes i just had a face lift this year but the problem with that is with each successive operation becomes more difficult more fraught with hazard and runs the risk of going over the edge of looking natural we had a very high profile patient come in here who i have known for 25 years although i have not operated on her she was operated on by one of my teachers and when i first met her and she came in and asked me about having the chemical peel the chemical wrinkle removal process well i know that my teacher did that procedure on her many many years ago and again it is a long lasting procedure she certainly did not need it so i advised against it and respectfully declined to take on the case well i saw her later and somehow she had something else done and i have to say it was not very good she looked wrong she looked pulled she looked strapped to the 747 look and that you can not disengage that i mean that it is permanent you can not reverse it so sometimes peculiar to our community here particularly the hollywood environment there is a little greater tendency towards that people are struggling very hard to hold on to that youthful appearance but +what causes breasts in an 8 year old my 8 year old grand daughter has breasts maybe aaa size her mom started buying her training bras a

and bacteria within the intestine the great differences between ibs and ibd makes it unlikely that they are caused by identical processes it is more likely that the manifestations they share for example abdominal pain and diarrhea are a function of the ability of the intestine to respond to disease causing processes no matter how different in a limited number of ways +i have got bulimia and i

to hear you are going through this it just goes to show how negatively pain can impact so many aspects of our lives i commend you for being committed to your sexual health and marital relationship you are a good wife for wanting to build that intimacy back up i would suggest you start by assessing what non sexual positions are the most comfortable for you for example if sitting in a chair provides relief try adapting that for a sexual purpose have your husband sit on a chair and then sit on your husband if that makes sense another suggestion is to try having sex in a water environment such as the shower or a bathtub this may be especially helpful if warm water gives you pain relief just be careful nobody slips you may simply have to experiment to find positions that work for you do not be shy about seeking out aids such as swings or slings that suspend from the ceiling if you need something like that to help take pressure off your back during sex a less expensive and less permanent solution may involve plenty of pillows to prop and support body parts again experimentation is going to be key here if you feel shy about expressing your feelings or needs to your partner please do not hesitate to consult your doctor a nurse or a psychotherapist who is experienced in sexual health to help with communication and to help you find solutions believe me they will understand your concerns and treat you with utmost respect all the best to you i lay on the edge of the bed on my back hubby stands next to bed and pulls me towards him if your husband is tall you can use pillows to

deffenatly came from my husband or possibly the childs grandparents or great grandparents,sickle cell trait is a genetic disorder that occurs when a child inherits one sickle cell gene from a parent if a child inherits two sickle cell genes one from each parent then that child will have sickle cell disease so to answer your question if your son has been diagnosed with sickle cell trait then he had to have inherited a sickle cell gene from one of his parents if you his mother know positively you do not have sickle cell trait which is diagnosed by blood test then your son must have received the gene from his father sickle cell trait may never produce symptoms so you should not assume you do not have it unless you have been tested for it your son needs to be aware that he can pass along this sickle cell gene to his own child if the child is mother also has sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease the child can be born with sickle cell disease hope this helps +i am 51 years old and

fact your family doctor believes your partner has a problem with alcohol is enough evidence for me unfortunately you cannot control what your partner does or how he views his alcohol abuse the only thing you can do is ensure the safety of yourself and your children i suggest you look into al anon which is the family group of alcoholics anonymous this group can give you support and guidance in dealing with your loved one is presumed alcoholism the fact your partner has not physically harmed you is irrelevant the wide ranging negative effects of alcoholism on children is well documented you should seek treatment in order to equip yourself to help your children trust me they will feel the effects of their father is alcoholism later in life again i am sorry you are dealing with this

unless you are in direct sunlight +why do we need sleep,it is a simple question that you would think would have a simple answer we know that sleep has restorative effects on our bodies down to the cellular level but how it all works from a biological perspective has been somewhat of a mystery now we have got more details to help tell the story of just what exactly goes on new research suggests that during the initial stages of sleep energy levels increase dramatically in brain regions that are active when we are awake the scientists behind this latest study believe that this surge of cellular energy may replenish the brain is processes that we need to function normally during the day “energy ” by the way refers to atp adenosine triphosphate which is our body is chief energy molecule it is also the same energy currency in other animals like rats which were used in the study the researchers found the following * atp levels increased in four key brain regions that are normally active during wakefulness when the rats were in non rem sleep * during this time however an overall decrease in brain activity occurred * when the animals were awake atp levels remained steady * when the rats were gently nudged to stay awake three or six hours past their normal sleep times there was no increase in atp levels what does all this mean the authors concluded that sleep is necessary for this atp energy surge as keeping the rats awake depriving them of sleep to mimic a sleep deprived human prevented the surge the energy increase may power restorative processes absent during wakefulness because brain cells consume large amounts of energy just to perform daily waking functions indeed there is a lot to do when we are awake in addition to all the tasks we complete consciously think about all the things we do practically subconsciously like breathing think about things we do almost on autopilot surfing the net walking the dog sometimes even driving a familiar route all this activity requires — you got it — the atp energy that appears to be produced by a good night is sleep and a good night is sleep is exactly what the doctor ordered to prepare us for the rigors of our day no sleep no energy expended in the brain to help us recover from the day and in essence recharge our minds for the next adventures of the next day it is also worth noting that the precise mechanics of the brain also remain a mystery to some degree there is no doubt that the brain requires a lot of energy to function as the body is master of ceremonies we already know that sleep loss can actually result in brain loss in fact the obligations of the brain may be the only reason we need sleep because without a brain the body is not worth much and it certainly can not do much in addition to food water and oxygen the +my daughter in law is three months pregnant and has sinus drainage and her ears hurt what can she can do for relief,she would have to speak with her obgyn to

pregnant,during the first visit for getting a dental bridge the abutment teeth are prepared preparation involves recontouring these teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to

have had an artificial eye for around 30 years i would like to know if there are any options for an eye transplant,not yet that technology is not even close to being perfected +why does my butt burn i walk around and my butt or around my anus on the outside burns i think it might be because i wipe to rough after i use the bathroom but could it be something else,the good news is that most people do not have to drastically change their diet when they start on the blood thinner warfarin coumadin but you do have to pay close attention to what you are eating the goal is to keep the level of vitamin k about the same from day to day you can do this by knowing which foods have a lot of vitamin k and not making any big changes in how much of them you are eating each day foods that have a lot of vitamin k include most of the green leafy vegetables like spinach kale lettuce cabbage swiss chard endive and seaweed greens such as turnip collard and mustard are all high in vitamin k as well other vegetables that contain a lot of vitamin k are cauliflower broccoli and asparagus liver is also high in vitamin k other things to watch out for include green tea canola oil and soybean oil peanuts and potatoes do not have a large amount of vitamin k but watch out for cashews and pine nuts they have a bit more vitamin k so eat them sparingly so what does all this mean if you have always had a salad for lunch then it is probably fine to keep eating one every day as long as it is ok with your doctor if you want broccoli or asparagus with your dinner for a change then it would be best to skip the salad that day and remember to keep your portions small liver has a lot of cholesterol so i would recommend skipping that altogether if your doctor has recommended a multivitamin make sure you take it every day they usually have vitamin k in them as well so you want to be consistent talk to your doctor before making any changes in your diet do not take any over the counter medicines or supplements

then rest assured it is normal it is probably some mucus being discharged in the final stage of your period if this discharge is new as in it started happening just recently then it might be worth

at 3 of 4 level plans only blue cross is listed if the marketplace is touting to be just that why is only one company listed i live in florida could it be that another negative to the website fiasco is that many insurers decided not to participate offering their plans per their websites if there is an inkling of truth to this the issues with the marketplace could be far more reaching than not being able to sign up,plans actually had to make decisions as to whether they would participate in the marketplace this spring and summer well before the website was launched so although the website launch has been a fiasco it is not responsible for the number of plans participating in general rural areas have a much smaller availability of health plans because it is harder for plans to contract with specific providers to form their network so if you live in a rural area there are going to be fewer plans available than in an urban area regardless of the marketplace plans may be hesitant to participate in states using the federal marketplace rather than states that chose to run their own florida is not running its own marketplace +is their a conflict of smoking marijuana while on bactrim

this helps you good luck +had a stroke on the brain in 2012 its 2016 i cant get no more than 5 hours of sleep a day,it is hard to say what is causing this although outwardly everything may look healed that is not necessarily the case inside it takes about 6 weeks for scar tissue to become as strong as suture it is possible you popped a small suture during stretching which is now causing you a little pain or it is possible this is simply residual pain from the surgery it is not uncommon for nerves that were cut during surgery to start waking up around this timeframe you might expect on and off pain from this nerve healing process for several months if you have been doing vigorous exercising i would advise you to speak with your doctor it is possible you worked out too hard to quickly this probably would not cause any serious or lingering health problems but it is worth investigating if you have not been cleared by your surgeon to exercise then you should stop until you have clearance wish i could give you a better answer but it is impossible to say what is going on here without a physical exam if the pain persists or if you suddenly spike a fever over 101f you definitely need to seek medical attention wishing you all the best +my son got a scrape on his elbow there appears to be a rash where the bandage was could this be an allergic reaction at first they were just

which is pain that comes and goes the pain usually is in the lower abdomen since the muscles fail to contract in a normal pattern and the colonic contents move through the colon rapidly there is little opportunity for water to be reabsorbed this leads to watery diarrhea if the lining of the colon is inflamed and breaks down bleeding may occur with colitis particularly colitis involving the distal colon rectum and sigmoid colon the pain often crescendos and precedes a diarrheal bowel movement after the bowel movement the pain may relent but then returns with the next episode depending

aspects of our lives are inter related problems in one area often create difficulties in others too for example a husband or wife losing a job generally puts a strain on their marriage that strain can cause tension creating an emotional rift between them if one of them has struggled with overeating alcoholism depression or poor anger management those issues are likely to return and all of this can overflow into problem with children who live within this strained home environment when this happens to you the most important first step after realizing how overwhelmed you feel is to really look at the ‘mountain what you will see upon closer inspection is that the mountain is not really one big weight it is more like a pile of rocks some of those rocks might be really heavy but they are each much more manageable than the mountain that you previously perceived once you see your problems as a pile of rocks you can begin to sort them from pebbles to boulders tossing out the pebbles is relatively easy is being five minutes late for work because of traffic really worth all that frustration you can also move many of those rocks off of you if talking to jane at work causes nothing but aggravation you can minimize your interactions with her the result is that the mountain is no longer so big and unmovable you will also begin to see how to move other rocks that did not seem to budge before so for instance as you begin to lighten your load when your mother makes those critical comments that she so frequently tosses out you will begin to see them as her problem — not one you need to carry you might still get upset but perhaps less so and you will be able to move past it more quickly +went to er 4 days ago after 2 weeks of ear pain diagnosed with bullous myringitis prescribed

although exercise can benefit almost everyone with osteoporosis it is important to remember that it is only one component of an overall treatment program other essential lifestyle recommendations

arteries after we eat a super high saturated fat meal so i would try to direct someone to “cheat” responsibly in other words even when we are “cheating ” we can make better choices like a guy is having his favorite steak and potato meal from a restaurant try to choose a leaner cut of steak filet mignon top sirloin or london broil for example and try to keep the amount of steak eaten within 6 ounces or so take the rest of the 12 or 16 ounce steak home for sandwiches the next day he might be more satisfied with this smaller portion of steak if he has enjoyed a broth or tomato based cup of

them from the pharmacy that is if they are stored properly away from direct heat or light and in a cool dry place i do not recommend keeping medication longer than a year because passing time increases the likelihood that mistakes can be made while taking it if you have not used the lorazapam in years most likely you do not need it so i would recommend discarding it the best way to dispose

nuts oils and dairy the nutrition label can help you determine which foods are free of gluten the term gluten free can be helpful but is not a regulated claim even though the fda is working to define it when you read a label look for gluten containing ingredients including wheat barley rye oats due to likely cross contamination brewers yeast and malt beer labeling laws requires allergens to be labeled including wheat proteins so any food that says contains wheat is off limits this does not apply to barley rye and oats or items that may have been cross contaminated so if there is any doubt

90 of women who become sensitized do so during childbirth when their blood mixes with the rh positive blood of their fetus 1 once exposed a mother is immune system produces antibodies against rh positive red blood cells for more information about events and procedures that can put you at high risk for rh sensitization see the what increases your risk section of this topic the minimum amount of blood mixing necessary to cause sensitization is not known but many women become sensitized during pregnancy or childbirth after being exposed to as little as of rh positive fetal blood 1 fortunately rh sensitization can almost always be prevented with the rh immune globulin injection when an rh negative person is immune system is first exposed to rh positive blood it takes several weeks to develop immunoglobulin m or igm antibodies igm antibodies are too large to cross the placenta so the rh positive fetus that first triggers maternal sensitization is usually not harmed a previously rh sensitized immune system rapidly reacts to rh positive blood as during a second pregnancy with an rh positive fetus usually within hours of rh positive blood exposure smaller immunoglobulin g or igg antibodies are formed igg antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy fetal red blood cells this causes rh disease which is dangerous for the fetus some rh negative people never become sensitized even after exposure to large amounts of rh positive blood the reason for this is not known webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace

need to be tested several times over the next 12 months to be sure you did not pick up the virus from your sex partner i would also suggest you have a conversation with your health care provider about whether or not you should take more aggressive measures than repeated screenings he or she is in the best position to advise you above all else please practice safe sex by using a condom unprotected

the last day no change in routine tho am sexually active he pulls out is there a chance i could be pregnant also my period came early and these last couple of days has been more like spotting any suggestions no insurance right now so any advice would help should i wait it out or buy a pg test,okay first you need to understand that periods can change especially as you get older with more stress more sex ect the brown discharge is probably old blood and seeing as you said it had been 12 days that may explain why it is brown and spotting and it can last several days after your period pulling out is not a guarantee method of birth control not that i am saying anything else is guaranteed you maybe pregnant some women have their first period after conceiving ovarian cyst are also maybe a possibility and any chance of toxic shock syndrome but chances are it is just an abnormal period if it continues or you start to have pain or new symptoms the only safe bet is to call your obgyn good

a lot or hold reading materials very close to your face these activities can cause you to get a headache i guess you could say cataracts can indirectly cause you to get a headache if you have

girlfriend experienced vaginal bleeding the next morning after we had intercourse the day before it was not her first time and we always use condoms so we are not sure what could be the cause,this sounds just exactly like an issue that i dealt with for months in 2014 hubby and i went on vacation and on the last couple of days i was having an itch right at my waist line in the back it was not too bad and i did not think too much of it at the time it would come and go the day we got home it got worse i looked in the mirror and there was a couple of spots each about the size of a quarter that looked like hives i put an ice pack on it to relieve the itching and after half an hour or so it went away over the course of about 2 months my nutritionist and i tried and tried to figure it out but it would just come and go several times a day sometimes on my arms other times it was on my stomach or legs or back very random at times it would be circular in shape other times it would show up as long lines or irregular shapes definitely looked like hives though then suddenly it just stopped i realized one day that it had been a week and no new out breaks it started on our vacation in august 2014 and ended sometime around novemberdecember 2014 then just this past week it happened again i noticed my arm pits itching a little one evening but again did not think much of it was not too bad just a little annoyance a couple times the next morning i woke up to bright red pits and the same hive looking spots on my stomach i started thinking about what was different during the time that i did not have the hives the only thing i could come up with was the while on our vacation last year we had lots of specialty coffee drinks from a famous coffee shop that i will not name here i continued to have them several times a week until sometime in the fall do not remember when just last weekend we decided to have them again a couple times that weekend large ones two days later the hives were back that makes me sad but i guess maybe i need to lay off the expensive coffee drinks and just have my coffee here at home it can be different things for different people but thought i would mention this just in case it might help someone else i never thought at the time that my coffee drinks could be the problem and it may just be a coincidence but for now i think i will avoid them

husband is physician is having him undergo an endoscopy this test will help figure out what is going on so that you your husband and your physician can work together to put together a treatment plan

normal skin it can cause burning or redness but never infection or scarring all you have to do is stop using it on irritated areas and the skin returns to normal still it is probably better not to use salicylic acid on sensitive areas like the face or groin where it is likely to make nearby skin raw and uncomfortable it generally is recommended that salicylic acid not be used by people with diabetes or in areas where there is poor circulation because of concern about how normally the skin can heal however in practice salicylic acid is withheld only when there are clear signs of ongoing

allergic reaction to something on the first exposure this does happen especially with certain foods like peanuts and shellfish when this happens it usually occurs in infancy or childhood and produces a very strong allergic reaction an allergic reaction is basically the body is overreaction to a perceived threat if you are exposed to a potential allergen food pollen medication etc the body may not react at all or may produce a mild immune response to that substance this may not produce symptoms after multiple exposures to the same allergen the body may overreact to it causing an allergic response this can range from mild rashes vomiting to severe swelling of the face or throat difficulty breathing a severe allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis and requires immediate medical attention if you suspect you have developed an allergy to a substance i would suggest you consult your primary health care provider also i would suggest you avoid whatever substance you believe is causing your allergic reaction what begins as a mild allergic response on one exposure can vault to anaphylaxis on another exposure hope this helps yes that is why you have to be careful in finding

like a bruise would feel like,i am sorry to hear you are suffering chronic pain can be hard to deal with it sounds like you have had all the right tests to rule out the usual culprits of right upper quadrant pain gallbladder problems liver problems bladder infection kidney issues etc if none of those are causing the pain it will be classified as idiopathic which means doctors do not know what is causing it many people suffer from pain of unknown origin as you do you do not say how long the pain is been going on but there are many things that could cause such pain that are not detectable by any scan or blood test for example you could have somehow damaged cartilage between your lower ribs that can be very painful and can take a long time to heal or you could have injured a muscle in that area unfortunately medical science does not always have all the answers especially when it comes to pain the good news is all the scary possible causes have been ruled out such as cancer the other good news is idiopathic pain often goes away as quickly and mysteriously as it began the bad news is you may never know what is causing this pain i wish i could offer you a better answer but like i said medical science unfortunately does not always have an answer wishing you all the best +what are the symptoms of lupus sun sensitivity,in the u s suicide attempts account for over two thirds of

exactly is the cause and cure i was injured in a car accident,i am not sure why you believe you are leaking cerebrospinal fluid csf from your nose but if you truly are you need to seek immediate medical attention csf leakage from the nose certainly can occur after trauma such as from a car accident csf is a colorless fluid that circulates throughout the spinal cord and brain in fact this fluid actually helps cushion the brain like a shock absorber a nasal csf leak due to trauma is considered a serious problem because you can get meningitis inflammation of the membranes surrounding the

juvederm xc and hydrelle which contain local anesthetic to help reduce the pain during injection however i will tell you that it takes a bit long for the painkiller to take effect and by that time the piercing of the skin is done recently there has been some interest in stem cells that would augment fat transfer into the face the article mentioned that “fatty tissue has the highest percentage of adult stem cells of any tissue in the body ” and that “adipose fat stem cells have the capacity of cell memory especially in the use of re volumizing the face ” my impression is that fat transfer is still not the preferred method because of the inconsistent results sometimes the fat can shrink sometimes it can get lumpy and that is not what patients want i prefer the man made injectables because they have a very low incidence of lumps bumps and reaction if they were to cause any trouble the filler will dissolve and disappear within several months one of the doctors quoted in the article said

tests hpts are advertised to be sensitive on the first day of a missed period—or perhaps a few days before in the most recent review of accuracy of hpts published in august of 2011 such claims were tested one brand first response® detected 97 of pregnancies on the first day of a missed period the ept® manual 54 and digital 67 and the clear blue® manual 64 and digital 54 tests all detected fewer actual pregnancies these results may reflect that the first response® could detect as little as 5 5 miuml of hcg in the urine while the other two brands could detect 22 miuml generally speaking a reliable pregnancy test in a doctor is office should be able to detect a level of 22 units of hcg or higher remember it takes an implantation to produce hcg to trigger a test in a study where day of implantation was documented with a sensitive blood test it was determined that 10 of viable pregnancies were not yet implanted by the first day of the missed period having read all this you can now understand why a gyn may recommend using a hpt twice if the first instance is at the time of missed flow about 97 of viable pregnancies will have implanted by seven days after the first day of missed menses taking a second reading can also enhance accuracy where your hpt is not one of the super sensitive brands +i had a dull pain in my lower right stomach need a second opinion,in my opinion right

for her to get the 2nd dose of flu shot,for vitamin b 12 and folate deficiency anemia the treatment depends on the cause of the deficiency if your body stores are depleted of vitamin b 12 your doctor will most likely prescribe vitamin b 12 injections and may also recommend high doses of b 12 supplements or a b 12 nasal spray there is a good chance that many of the symptoms of deficiency will improve once the body is provided with the needed b 12 most people with vitamin b 12 deficiency have a permanent inability to absorb vitamin b 12 and will need injections every one to three months or pills daily for the rest of their lives some forms of gastric bypass surgery are associated with deficiencies of iron vitamin b12 and other nutrients typically absorbed in the part of the stomach that

psychologist psychiatrist and medication why else can i do,since you are in treatment with both a psychiatrist and a psychologist and you have tried as you said many medications without sufficient help you also indicated that you have serious agoraphobia which keeps you in your home what is the treatment plan to handle your agoraphobia i think this needs to be discussed especially with your psychologist who would seem the one with special expertise in this area you might also consider getting a second opinion from another psychologist who might have more of a behavioral orientation which would help you take small steps toward leaving your home i understand that this could be difficult to do but you really need someone who can offer you a treatment plan to properly address your primary symptom which appears to be the agoraphobia +my systolic pressure ranges mid 120s to mid 140s and my diastolic ranges lower 50s to mid 60s is this normal or okay,believe it or not when you walk into a room what your eye sees can actually determine whether or not you are going to have an easy time falling asleep or a bad time so the first thing i tell people to do is clean up your bedroom get the clutter out because it is pretty hard to fall asleep with a stack of laundry over here and a big pile of books over there and a very sort of jumbled night table okay and so i talk to them about cleaning up the clutter getting that stuff out of the way so that when you walk in you are more peaceful more serene surrounding that may also have to do with color so there are studies that look at what is the color of your bedroom and how can that affect your ability to fall asleep it turned out that the color itself is not important but the hue of the color is so the brightness of that color turns out to be a big factor so when you are painting your bedroom you do not want a high gloss finish you want more of a matted finish now granted a very bright yellow is probably not a great place to fall asleep but a more muted yellow probably is so again it may not matter the color so much as the brightness of that color +throat still sore after antibiotics i was diagnosed with a throat infection and given antibiotics i have completed the 10 day antibiotic treatment 4 days ago and my throat still feels sore and raw it does not feel as sore as it initially was and it is not causing me

the bumps had mostly went away but after a day of heavy lifting in 105 degree weather it seems like the pus is coming back i also went swimming in a chlorinated pool the next day is it possible that my poor habits are causing these pus bumps to continue to form or is the penicillin not working right i can swallow alright and there does not seem to be a very high fever should i up the dose on my penicillin if the doctor okays it,most helpful answer assuming your strep was lab confirmed and diagnosed i would not be too concerned with those white bumps right now white bumps incidentally is not a definitive sign of strep these can be seen with a variety of different viruses and can even be trapped food particles not pus it would not be wise or recommended to change your dose of penicillin penicillin is the drug of choice for strep so if you do have it then this will work the fact that you are improving is a better sign swimming in the pool is not relevant swimming does not cause or

drops lighten the color of your eyes if not then what will besides contacts my eyes are too dark when i look in the mirror at my eyes i see a dark brown but i want to make my pupil lighter,when you look at your eyes in the mirror you see three basic colors the white of your eyeball the colored part of the iris and the black of the pupil let is look at these in a little more detail everyone is eyeball is white it is just how they are made everyone is pupil is black because the pupil is actually an opening that allows light to go inside the eyeball the pupil looks black because there is no light inside the eye to illuminate it if there were the pupil might look bright white or even orange as if it were glowing would not that be cool the iris is the colored part of the eyeball the iris is not a muscle but it does expand and contract to control the size of your pupil and by extension how much light gets inside your eye the color of your iris is genetically determined genetics is

have severe cramping or other symptoms that are really hard to push through sometimes it can hold one is self back from doing many daily things even walking would you consider birth control an effective way of reducing the pain when just applying heat and taking midol or pamprin just is not enough just because teens may need birth control does not always mean the want to be sexually active and some have a hard time telling their parents that think of the health benefits,absolutely i have dozens of teens on birth control who have never been sexually involved hormonal regulation menstrual pain heavyfrequent periods and even severe acne also hormone related are some of the medical indications to use birth control pills teens do have birth control access even without parent permission but when it is for a medical reason and not contraception parents should be involved and supportive really good question the incidence of non sexual teens is probably pretty low in this day and time but yes god bless them it happens i think you have to address the cramping first obviously lots of possible causes again i say you start at the most obvious cause and work your way back to the most obscure with girls cramps are most commonly due to menes blood flowing thru the cervix clots hurt more the cervix which is the distal end of the uterus which extends down into the vag is very sensitive to stuff going thru it dilating it that is why clots hurt more than just thin blood some doctors from my experience over the years have used bc pills to control blood flow down the uterus to the vag i am not a girl but i have been married twice and i have 2 daughters one started her periods at age 8 very cruel joke from mother nature both my wives had endometriosis and had bleeding problems cramps were an everyday occurence so was overflow bleeding geez i felt so bad for my girls nothing prepares a girl for that gone are the days when girls cramps were written off by professionals as nerotic i know it hurts altho some girls tend to be drama queens who actually knows how bad it hurts except them historically bc pills a cocktail of hormones i think seem to reduce blood loss also affects weight gain bigger boobs too fluid retention lovely but my answer to your direct question is if it is bc pills then yes it could help with the cramps and who knows or wants to know if they are sexually active just put them on the pill hope for the best if it does not work with the cramps let them know they should tell you so you can seek other answers parenting is tough especially with girls this is my best answer to be honest my cramps were much less severe and sometimes i never even had cramps while i was on birth control however if you do not truly need birth control i would advise finding another method to control your cramping think about what birth control is and what it does to your body you are literally swallowing one tiny pill that completely changes the mechanics of your body i do not know for sure what types of negative effects they have truly linked to birth control but it all just seems too much to be necessary i do not take any pills

is an increased risk for developing overt diabetes a person with prediabetes may have a normal blood sugar but only because their body has compensated for this with an increase in the amount of insulin produced as prediabetes progresses the overproduction of insulin just will not be enough to compensate for high sugars and they become overtly abnormal and elevated people with type 2 diabetes

come into contact with infected areas but it is better than no protection at all if you continue to have problems reaching orgasm during intercourse i would suggest you consult a psychotherapist who specializes in sex issues it is possible though not likely there is something else going on here besides desensitization of the penis lastly i should mention that i hope your girlfriend also is at least 18 otherwise you know your relationship is not exactly ethical and not legal in many places and that is no basis for a relationship wishing you all the best +what is the expected impact of

pregnancy tests hpts are advertised to be sensitive on the first day of a missed period—or perhaps a few days before in the most recent review of accuracy of hpts published in august of 2011 such claims were tested one brand first response® detected 97 of pregnancies on the first day of a missed period the ept® manual 54 and digital 67 and the clear blue® manual 64 and digital 54 tests all detected fewer actual pregnancies these results may reflect that the first response® could detect as little as 5 5 miuml of hcg in the urine while the other two brands could detect 22 miuml generally speaking a reliable pregnancy test in a doctor is office should be able to detect a level of 22 units of hcg or higher remember it takes an implantation to produce hcg to trigger a test in a study where day of implantation was documented with a sensitive blood test it was determined that 10 of viable pregnancies were not yet implanted by the first day of the missed period having read all this you can now understand why a gyn may recommend using a hpt twice if the first instance is at the time of missed flow about 97 of viable pregnancies will have implanted by seven days after the first day of missed menses taking a second reading can also enhance accuracy where your hpt is not one of the super sensitive brands 7 10 days +how do doctors determine hom much blood you have lost family

because the tip of the hair will have a different shape and it will feel rougher to the skin as it grows back in that will soften over time plucking is fine as well however that can cause ingrown hairs and some redness so you have to be careful there there is a cream called vaniqa that affects an enzyme that the hair follicle requires to grow and it blocks that enzyme it is kind of a reverse

question thank you for asking i can think of one very good reason why you might experience these symptoms while engaging in a competitive gaming situation the fight or flight response when you are competing you probably feel stressed you want to win and you are very highly focused on performing well this combination of factors could stimulate your sympathetic nervous system sns to respond the sns responds to acute stress by producing a series of changes within your body often call the fight or flight response during fight or flight your pupils dilate to better allow light into the eye and assess escape routes or in your case see the video field better your breathing accelerates your heart rate increases your blood pressure rises your digestive processes slow way down and your bladder sphincter may suddenly relax oops important to our discussion though is the fact the sns stress response diverts blood flow from the extremities to the muscles this is probably the reason your hands and feet become cold your sns is diverting that blood to your core and to the large muscles of your body in case you must jump up and run away from whatever danger your brain has perceived fight or flight is a primal reaction so the threat your sns is responding to could be the competition or the action occurring in the video game itself when the sns kicks in you usually feel an adrenalin rush the sns causes your body to be flooded with other hormones too including testosterone and cortisol if you feel that an sns response is in fact responsible for your cold hands and feet while gaming you can take steps to address the problem try meditating for several minutes before a competition focus on your breathing and keep it slow and regulated if possible focus on your breathing during the competition too you may be surprised to discover how much you can control your body is response to stress wishing you well +used a heating pad on my stomach for pain the next day i had very sudden

seem to skip that area so moisturizing really helps and using a product that is what is called a keratolytic so your skin is made up of proteins called keratins and lytic means to break that up so ingredients like urea or lactic acid can help those skin cells become less sticky and will exfoliate them off a little bit better and then moisturizing really helps you can soak your feet in a little bit of water and olive oil for about ten minutes and then when your skin is nice and soft and damp you can put an ointment like aquaphor ointment or even just vaseline or even just crisco oil if you like and then put on a sock to help lock that water in and that will help keep your feet soft and smooth +left shoulder blade has had a stabbing pain arm is numbing and left hand no feeling,hi try

eat is about 30 minutes before you begin to exercise and the best snack is one that combines carbohydrates and protein with an emphasis on the carbs and you do not need a lot of food protein is not a fuel for exercise so you do not want to overdo it for carbs aim for the equivalent of a half bagel or a large banana for protein consider a couple tablespoons of peanut butter or a small cup of yogurt to get both if fresh food is not an option look for energy bars with 25 to 40 grams of carbohydrates and about 10 grams of protein steer clear of caffeine and warm fluids which tend to speed food through your intestine as well as dairy and high fat or high fiber foods all of which can upset your stomach slow down the absorption of carbs and leave you feeling sluggish you should also stay well

ol penicillin i am assuming you have not had a urinalysis or a urine culture if you are self diagnosing and self treating a uti with an old prescription of penicillin i would strongly caution you

kill cancer cells as well as healthy white blood cells since white blood cells are the body is main defense against infection this means you are at an increased risk for getting an infection while you

symptomology and is only diagnosed through other unrelated serum blood testing neutropenia is an abnormal low number of neutrophils neutrophils are a form of white blood cells that help the immune system to fight off infections the bone marrow produces these cells which release chemicals when the body is being attacked by bacteria such as caused by wounds your bone marrow creates these cells they then travel in your bloodstream and move to areas of infection they release chemicals to kill invading microorganisms during chemotherapy interference with the bone marrow is ability to produce neutrophils may occur resulting in even more intense neutropenia treatment of neutropenia is directed at its cause such as eliminating certain medications antibiotics psychiatric drugs & antiepileptic meds etc and other causes it is advisable to control the neutropenia before starting chemotherapy i wish you well on your journey to renewed health +penis has two tone colors and my penis head has

get hungry during or after exercise or you feel your energy is running low during the workout then have a snack 30 minutes before the workout carbs and protein like in an energy bar are good if you feel okay during the workout not eating then it is okay some people can eat a full meal before working out but for the most part too much food in the gut will make you feel uncomfortable during the workout again if you run low on energy without food during exercise then have something to eat it is often recommended to not have a full meal at least two hours before exercise though three to four hours is better the reason for this is called blood shunting to put it in simple terms blood shunting is a process where your body diverts more blood to certain areas that need it we have a set amount of blood in our body but the amount that certain areas of your body receive can change at different times the theory is that not eating close to when you exercise will allow for more blood to be delivered to your muscles instead of being partially diverted towards digestion this will allow your body to work more efficiently during exercise to help you get the most out of it you can eat something small right before exercise but be sure to not eat too much if you are exercising in the morning try to have something like a glass of juice a piece of fruit or a slice of toast before exercising so that you have some energy and are not exercising on a completely empty stomach also there is the possibility that eating a heavy meal before exercise may cause you to feel uncomfortable

antibiotics to treat sepsis are combinations of two or three antibiotics given at the same time most combinations usually include vancomycin to treat many mrsa infections however once the infecting

this dealing with a constantly runny nose can be very annoying the medical term for a runny nose is rhinitis the runnyness is caused by inflammation of the nasal tissue the most common type of rhinitis is allergic rhinitis however it is possible to have the non allergic variety too another flavor of rhinitis is called gustatory rhinitis and this refers to getting a runny nose when you eat other things can cause a runny nose such as exposure to cold weather if you have never been diagnosed with nasal allergies this would be a good time to see your health care provider to determine if your runny nose is caused by allergies or not if it is an over the counter or prescription medication may help dry up your nasal tissue if your runny nose is not caused by allergies then your only option may be to invest in a lot of tissue not the best news i know hope this helps +should i go to the doctor when i was young i went to the doc for asthma & i got an inhaler i am now 19 in optimal physical health going to the gym 56 days a week for 1 5 hours each & i have not used my inhaler since i was 15 or so and while my body is in shape enough to handle cardio i can not breathe after about 2 minutes of running so badly that i have to stop running bc my lungs feel like they are closing i do not know if this is a normal reaction to cardio or if it is my asthma coming back should i go to the doctor,yes you could have exercise induced bronchospasm an asthma like reaction to exercise you will need to be properly examined +hi i have recently undergone a vasectomy and after 1 sample i was asked to do another after putting my second sample in the urologist has asked to see me face to face in 7 days time im not sure if this is normal and i have worked myself up about this thinking they may have detected something in my sample showing something serious like prostate cancer since the procedure i have had little aches and pains in my left testicle which i assumed was normal and may very well be ive also had a bit of a dull ache in my lower left back which comes and goes i may not even notice this for days should i be worried about them calling me in they have not said its urgent or asked me to take someone in is it normal to be asked to see your urologist after a result,semen analysis is not suitable to diagnose prostate ca azoospermia has to be established before declaring sterility this re testing is most likely a part of that very protocol to detect any viable number that could lead to impregnation though vasectomy is very safe method and only 1 failure rate is there

really greasy i only wear makeup with sunscreen on my face is that enough,you need to wear sunscreen on any part of the skin that is exposed to the sun oftentimes it can be the fragrance or preservative that is really causing the reaction so if you tend to be sensitive look for ones that are fragrance free and dye free that is a good place to start also apply it a few minutes like 10 15 minutes before you go out in the sun to try to help protect and make sure you reapply it often enough you can do skin testing to see if you truly are allergic to the ingredients i have found that most people are allergic to an ingredient other than the active ingredient in sunscreen those can be avoided in the future so they can still get great sun protection if you really are allergic to the sunscreen ingredient you need to look for sun protective clothing there is clothing that has ultraviolet protection built into it that lasts through multiple washings and you can find these on lots of stores or even online and look for ones that have an ultraviolet protection factor of 30 or higher a regular t shirt only has an spf or upf of about 3 or 8 depending if it is wet or dry so dry has sun protection of about 8 and wet goes down to about 3 so you really need to look for clothing that is sun protected wear a hat with at least a 1 inch brim that is going to cover over your face effectively and try to stay in the shade as much as possible so it is really sun smart behavior put altogether that will protect your skin +i always feel tired when wake up in the morning my eyes feel

divorce what about dating,yes +does masturbation cause arm numbness and pain,if you think your dog has poison ivy you should definitely wash your dog because if you are getting it from your dog then that is going to keep happening until you get that resin off the dog the one thing is you can not spread it from yourself so if you have poison ivy on your body and you scratch that is not how you spread it it might be from under your nails or from your gardening toolkit or from your dog those can be sources of it but it is not from the rash itself the way to treat it is really to see your dermatologist and get a strong cortisone cream or ointment or gel to put on it to help dry it up when it is bad enough you may even have to take cortisone by mouth which is not the ideal thing but sometimes when it is bad enough and it is uncomfortable that helps knock it out pretty well it can start even two to three days after your exposure so i have had patients come in and it is three or four days later and all of a sudden the rash starts to come out so it does not always happen right away the one thing is if you think your dog has poison ivy resin on its fur you have about ten minutes from your exposure to go wash it off so if you have any suspicion if he is out in the woods and he starts running around and he comes back and touches you and you know he was in an area where there was poison ivy try to get inside as quickly as possible you can use soap to get that off your skin but after ten minutes it is in and you are going to have to deal with it taking antihistamines also helps so you can take that as well something like benadryl or claritin or allegra all those types of antihistamines can help a lot but sometimes when it is bad enough you just have to take prednisone by mouth for up to two weeks even before it starts to calm down +i wish to get pregnant but i am in contact with a person with cytomegalovirus cmv infection,thyroid nodules should be

surgeon thanks +how many times a day should i brush my teeth,i wish i had something useful to suggest some method of convincing a loved one to shed unhealthy habits and pick up good ones it is such a common situation when we care deeply for someone who is putting their own health in jeopardy almost eveyone experiences some form of this during their lifetime parents worry about their teenagers putting themselves in risky situations children of alcoholics or smokers family members who do not take care of themselves we wonder if their unhealthy habits will lead to serious illness or death that will take them from us prematurely or cause problems that we have to deal with or put us in a position of having to look back with regret that we should have done something to cause them to change we have heard stories or seen movies where someone is behavior takes a turn for the better after an emotional conversation either a pep talk or a crying session or a stern lecture etc sometimes it actually works in real life other times it just gets awkward or backfires in my experience it usually backfires or leads to hurt feelings and resentment however at least we can look back and convince ourselves we tried my advice is to try for one of these intense conversations when the timing seems right then you can at least live with yourself without wondering if you should have done something differently tell her how it makes you feel and how it might impact you if she has a stroke or heart attack or goes blind or she ends up on dialysis or loses a foot because of her actions learn how it makes her feel to have diabetes and to have to choose between the sacrifices of doing nothing and allowing her disease to progress vs the sacrifices of making changes that are difficult

get into all types of mischief since they readily explore their expanding environment they think nothing of taking a steak knife out of the dishwasher and run down the hall with it when they are caught and disarmed they will collapse to the floor in a tantrum because you took their knife possession is important to toddlers so they may hide things so they can keep it for themselves it is not unusual for them to take car keys and throw them behind the couch or worse flush them down the toilet correct the toddler gently but firmly tell them about your things and hisher things focus on the behavior but not the child for instance hiding mommy is keys was a bad thing good boys or girls do not do these things and you are a good boy or girl these odd behaviors tend to be very temporary so hang in there +which pilates exercises are good for someone with parkinson is disease,the primary symptoms of parkinson is that may be helped by exercise are slowness of movement stiffness and loss of balance and posture and so exercises that improve these should be done for improvement of balance try standing exercises as part of your pilates workout whether you are working on a mat or the equipment standing exercises challenge your muscles and your brain to maintain balance improvements in people with parkinson is are typically slow but they can occur if you work hard and consistently as for slowness flexibility and strength are part of the solution many pilates exercises work through a full range of motion and so stiffness and flexibility should improve make sure your instructor focuses some of the attention on a full range of movements and holding those positions to improve flexibility as for strength it typically improves quickly for beginners this is because strength is not only a function of the mass of the muscle but also because of improvements in nervous system patterning impulses from the brain through the central nervous system to the muscles when you pattern the transmission of impulses from the brain to the muscles by repeating exercises over and over the brain gets better at recruiting more muscles and you get stronger patterning is important for people with parkinson is because patterning may diminish with a loss of dopamine so repetition of the exercises should help pure strength is also important not only for activities of daily living but also for well being it is fair to say that under most conditions feeling strong feels better than feeling weak and since most of the pilates exercises build strength whether on the mat or the equipment there is certainly benefit to be gained one of the limitations observed with parkinson is patients who do pilates is the lack of motor training for the activities you do during your normal day like opening doors getting in and out of cars and walking so make sure your instructor helps you with that there is important research in animals to show that regular aerobic exercise has a positive effect on parkinsonian symptoms in one study scientists gave rats a medication that induces parkinson is disease by destroying brain cells that make dopamine after administration of the medication to all the rats the researchers then had half the rats exercise for seven days while the other half remained sedentary after the study they found that the exercising rats lost only 6 percent of their dopamine containing neurons whereas the sedentary rats lost 87 percent that is a substantial difference with the potential for important clinical improvements in symptoms based on those study results you might want to add aerobic exercise in addition to strengthening balance and flexibility work if you have trouble walking because of balance problems then try holding on to the side rails of the treadmill research proves that activities of daily living motor performance and ambulation improve even if you hold on and +on 40mg lisinopril to get to 12080 vertigo when standing almost fainting normal hi

pressure med wdiuretic in 1 week of stopping i have gained 5 lbs & have swollen legsankles do i need to go on a diuretic,the amount of sleep that a child needs is going to be based on that child is age actually we have a great article on webmd where you can actually click on the different ages to find out what your child is sleep need is going to be but generally speaking what we are finding in national sleep foundation is polls is that kids are not getting enough sleep and they are also not getting sleep at the times that they need it may be an enjoyable thing to because you are coming home late to be able to spend some time with your child and have them stay up past their bedtime but it really can be a detriment to their health in the long run in the first year of life children are going to sleeping north of 18 hours in some cases maybe as little as 12 or 13 hours but that oftentimes occurs if you have a very colicky baby or a reflux baby try to know and understand what health issues could be going on there when you get into the 2 to 3 range that is when your children should be sleeping about 11 – 12 hours then when you start to move into grade school you are going to be looking at 9 to 10 hours and you should your kids should stick to the 9 to 10 hour range almost through high school very few high schoolers get that much sleep and so interestingly what we have found is first of all high school age children tend to swing and want to stay up late and sleep late and so anybody out there who has a high school age kid knows that the kids want to stay up til 200 am and then they want to sleep til noon uh that is a natural occurrence for them believe it or not in minnesota they actually changed school start times and they found that kids increased their grades by almost a full letter grade by actually going to school later and staying later so when you are talking with your children about sleep one of the things that you want to say is hey this is very important for you first of all it helps you learn second of all it helps your overall mood and finally it really helps your health and so i try to make the importance of sleep greater for children so that way they can get an understanding of it it is not that mom or dad wants you to go to bed at a certain time because they are mean it is because they are actually doing something better for your health +does your hair grow thicker while you are pregnant,in my opinion you should get a mri of brain done again as it could be re accumulation of fluid or revival of an unremoved tumor not scaring

calories to lose weight you run the risk of falling short on key nutrients that is why choosing nutrient rich foods is particularly important when you are dieting fortunately some of the foods richest in nutrition fruits vegetables and whole grains also happen to be low in fat and calories they also tend to be higher in fiber so they help fill you up even when you are eating less to lose weight even on the healthiest diet however you may fall short on nutrients over time the nutrients that are most often in short supply are iron and calcium but if you are dieting to lose weight over an extended time you may run a risk of falling short on other nutrients taking a multivitamin can help ensure that you meet your basic needs while you try to lose weight but remember a pill is no substitute for a healthy nutrient rich diet “dieting” typically entails food restriction in both the amount of food as well as the type of food that you consume both of which could potentially lead to malnourishment if done incorrectly the good thing is that the types of food that you should be restricting on a healthy diet typically do not offer you much nutritional value anyways which is why you would want to restrict them in the first place you should not have to worry about nutritional deficiencies when dieting so long as you are eating a balanced diet with a variety of different foods and as long as you are not following a very low calorie diet be wary however of some diet plans that severely restrict certain foods or food groups altogether some of these diets may have varying degrees of merit but it is best to consult with a dietitian or doctor before undergoing major dietary changes to help distinguish between helpful and harmful dietary practices +can herpes be spead through

small study even found that having a history of stretch marks doubled one is risk for prolapse stretch marks you might be thinking why would that be the bones of the female pelvis do a great job

this,acetaminophen is used more as a fever reducer and for pain ibuprofen which is also known as motrin or advil can be used for pain that is caused by inflammation so the theory is is that if the area is inflamed that is really what is causing the pain acetaminophen or tylenol is also referred to as apap in some formulations you want to be careful you want to make sure that you do not exceed more than 4 000 milligrams a day for an adult if you are an elderly person you do not want to exceed 2 000 milligrams a day and you would want to avoid things like alcohol they are noticing that there have been some challenges with acetaminophen in the cases of people taking too much of it they were not aware that they were taking prescription medications with acetaminophen in it so you want to talk to your pharmacist first before you consider choosing these products on the advilmotrin side once again you do not want to drink alcohol with them it really helps create nausea it could upset the

lubrication and gentleness bleeding is not a problem there is a sexual practice called fisting also some very large objects have been removed from the rectum by er doctors thus if the anal opening can

their diet iodine is not found in many vegetables or other foods seaweed is the notable exception companies began adding iodine to salt in the 1920s because almost everyone uses salt in cooking adding

what kind of problems this can cause also what happens to the sperm that does not come out and if any damage has been caused till date how can i know & possibly cure it,while it is uncommon to conceive after having had a tubal ligation it can happen moreover there is an increased risk of it being a tubal or ectopic pregnancy thus you were wise to do a reliable pregnancy test given your prior history of super light flows while actually pregnant if you develop any pregnancy symptoms your should have the test repeated by a gyn or local family planning clinic as an ectopic pregnancy can delay the production of normal amounts of hcg pregnancy hormone a more likely explanation for the too light flow would be a missed ovulation if the pregnancy test is negative then the next most common cause of a missed period is not having ovulated that cycle in a normal cycle estrogen is produced all month estrogen is responsible for building up the lining of your uterus so you have something to shed each month in a normal cycle progesterone production increases following ovulation progesterone stabilizes the uterine lining in preparation for a possible implantation of a new pregnancy if you are not pregnant that month the levels of estrogen and progesterone fall triggering the release of the uterine lining—your period so if you do not ovulate the estrogen build up of the lining continues but without the usual ovulation associated progesterone thus the hormone levels do not decline and the lining stays up inside the uterus—as a missedlate period alternatively just a small amount of the top of the lining can be shed which appears as a very scant flow causes for not ovulating are many thyroid problems pituitary problems ovarian cysts physical stressors e g sudden increases in exercise crash dieting emotional stressors problems with partners children finances increased body weight anorexia rotating shifts at work etc you mentioned a prior history of weird periods that were never normal that might also suggest alterations in your ovulations there is a second less common cause for not having a period or a too light flow in some women the estrogen levels become very low the levels are so low that no uterine lining is available to be shed bottom line repeat the pregnancy test if you have pregnancy signs if it is negative then you may want to keep a menstrual calendar if your cycles become absent for three months or are just minimal spotting see your gyn or clinic for follow up certainly if you develop other symptoms such as pelvic pain e g ovarian cyst get seen promptly if your tubes are tied its almost if not completely impossible to get pregant periods are wierd and not really predictable just dont assume its over yet wear something for the next few days

to gain muscle because i have a very hard time putting on weight what can i do to lower my metabolism enough to start putting on weight and getting bigger i also do not eat very well but tend to eat a descent amount of protein every day,the goal should not be to lower your metabolism but to start feeding yourself better and reap the benefits of activity which can result in muscle gain it does not matter if you get adequate protein if you are missing out on other important nonprotein calories and nutrients that is because inadequate carbohydrate and fat intake total calories means protein is used for energy instead of for muscle formation exercising more can increase your appetite and weight training can gradually help you put on muscle it may take time to see results but because muscle weighs more than fat you are likely to gain weight here are some tips eat regular meals and snacks every day try to plan your meals ahead of time and have items you can put together for quick and

fashioned oat with one tablespoon honey 1 banana 1 cup skim milk protein in meal = 20 grams lunch 2 grilled chicken breasts 8 ounces 2 cups of veggies broccoli green beans califlower 1 apple 1 serving

v neck and you are just walking around it is incidental sun exposure the sun exposure is cumulative your skin remembers that first exposure as a child and that is been building up building up building

preventable the number one way to prevent it is to get screened most men should begin colorectal cancer screening at age 50 if you have colorectal cancer in your family or other risk factors tell your doctor you may need screening at a younger age several screening methods are proven to reduce colorectal cancer rates colonoscopy you have probably heard of this procedure the downside of it is that a flexible tube about the thickness of a finger is inserted into your anus the plus side is that it can save your life your gastroenterologist gut doctor can usually see and remove polyps or cancer before it spreads if your colon is clean you probably will not need another colonoscopy for several years flexible sigmoidoscopy this scaled down version of a colonoscopy is another reasonable option fecal occult blood test this involves you smearing stool on a paper card and bringing it to your doctor each year your gift is then checked for blood because colorectal cancers often bleed blood in your stool usually earns you a colonoscopy to look for cancer the most recent figures show that the incidence and death rate of colorectal cancer is 35 higher in men than in women also a 2006 study showed that men were more likely to develop polyps and cancer earlier than women therefore early screening may be even more important for men is health some of the other things men can do today to start lowering colorectal cancer risk are eating like a hunter gatherer not a caveman cut back on the red meat like burgers and steaks instead fill up on more than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day these changes alone could reduce your risk by about 50 getting off the couch active men get less colorectal cancer the american cancer society recommends 30 minutes of activity five days a week quitting smoking and limit drinking keep alcohol to one or two drinks a day +i acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus mrsa while in hospital,hi found you this little piece of

into a room what your eye sees can actually determine whether or not you are going to have an easy time falling asleep or a bad time so the first thing i tell people to do is clean up your bedroom get the clutter out because it is pretty hard to fall asleep with a stack of laundry over here and a big pile of books over there and a very sort of jumbled night table okay and so i talk to them about cleaning up the clutter getting that stuff out of the way so that when you walk in you are more peaceful more serene surrounding that may also have to do with color so there are studies that look at what is the color of your bedroom and how can that affect your ability to fall asleep it turned out that the color itself is not important but the hue of the color is so the brightness of that color turns out to be a big factor so when you are painting your bedroom you do not want a high gloss finish you want more of a matted finish now granted a very bright yellow is probably not a great place to fall asleep but a more muted yellow probably is so again it may not matter the color so much as the brightness of that color +i have been eating saladsno cheese okra and asparagus and drinking

disease can occur in adults and even in the elderly symptoms in infants infants with celiac disease typically have diarrhea steatorrhea abdominal cramps abdominal distension irritability muscle wasting and failure to thrive and grow these symptoms typically occur after the introduction of gluten containing cereals into their diets symptoms in children children with celiac disease typically have diarrhea increased amounts of fat in the stool steatorrhea flatulence passing gas short stature and weight loss proper treatment with a gluten free diet can lead to accelerated catch up growth in height however if untreated childhood celiac disease can result in short stature as an adult as children with celiac disease enter adolescence many will experience spontaneous remissions reduced symptoms and remain free of the signs and symptoms of celiac disease until later in adulthood this later reactivation can be precipitated by stress such as pregnancy or surgery symptoms in adults adults with celiac disease may have symptoms of diarrhea steatorrhea weight loss and flatulence however many adults do not have diarrhea or steatorrhea they have either no symptoms or only vague abdominal discomfort such as bloating abdominal distension and excess gas they also may have only one or a few signs of malnutrition such as iron deficiency anemia abnormal bleeding or bone fractures some individuals with celiac disease and gastrointestinal symptoms are mistakenly diagnosed to have irritable bowel syndrome ibs there have been changes during the past 20 years in the way in which celiac disease is diagnosed the average age at which celiac disease is diagnosed has increased probably because of the increased awareness that the disease can first cause symptoms or signs in adults whereas in the past diarrhea was the initial symptom in 80 of patients it now is the initial symptom in only 40 a small proportion of patients about 15 are now diagnosed with blood antibody tests because they have a close relative with celiac disease and they are being screened to see if they also have the disease +can you get genital herpes from a pelvic exam i have been married for 19 years and we even use a condom when having sex we both have always been healthy i recently had a pap smear done and on that same day felt very swollen in my vagina the next day we tried to have sex but it was too painful and couldnt then i noticed a bump followed by by more bumps and high fevers the following few days the bumps turned into sores they checked me and said it is herpes could i have gotten from the tools they used to check me,that would be highly unlikely since those tools a vaginal speculum would need to be unwashed unsterilized and still wet from a previous patient that had genital herpes most vaginal speculums are not plastic disposable ones many clinicians still use metal ones but these must be autoclaved sterilized before any subsequent use make sure your diagnosis of herpes is laboratory confirmed not just by clinical observation before you let your mind run amok while it is not uncommon for a married man to stray and have sex with someone else you need to make sure the diagnosis is correct since genital herpes is almost always sexually transmitted it is normal for you to have concerns +i started chantix a week ago and i am expirencing some horrible side effects my

pregnancy this is quite normal and happens for a few reasons during pregnancy the cervix neck of the womb and vaginal walls get softer and discharge increases to help prevent any infections travelling up from the vagina to the womb towards the end of pregnancy the amount of discharge increases and can be confused with urine in the last week or so of pregnancy your discharge may contain streaks of thick mucus and some blood this is called a ishow and happens when the mucus that has been present in your cervix during pregnancy comes away it is a sign that the body is starting to prepare for birth and you may have a few small ishows in the days before you go into labour increased discharge is a normal part of pregnancy but it is important to keep an eye on it and tell your doctor or

a positive result took another on september 7 it was positive then another september 8 it was positive is it possible to be pregnant only 2 weeks after sex,depending on what kind of test you used some are very sensitive to the hormone that they measure to determine whether or not you are pregnant and can therefore give a positive reading earlier some can show a positive result at 2 weeks home tests can also give false negatives one common reason is that you are using or reading them incorrectly even if you think that can not possibly be the case make sure you read and carefully follow the directions exactly if you have had that many positive tests you could very likely be pregnant you should schedule an appointment with your doctor who will probably do another urine tests and a blood test to be sure +how do you treat a burn,first err on the side of caution always see a medical professional for any burn that is not obviously minor that generally includes any burn that is large

patient to tell us everything that we believe is important for their safety there are some drugs that people do not want to own up to there are people who for example have taken cocaine and it is left some damage in the nose and we need to know what the damage came from we remind the patient though that this is confidential it is it does not go beyond the office and does not go beyond the operating room and it is up to the patient if they ever want any of that revealed because they do not have to have their medical records released to anybody there is not a cop in the world that can demand your medical record they can demand your drivers license but nobody has the right to demand your medical records without your permission so they are held in strict confidence it is much more important that we know these things than that the patient because we do not want the patient to worry that oh my god i do not want anybody to know now we need to know for the patient is safety i could recount

exam much better,some clinicians are just more gentle than others for women i would suggest a female provider md pa or nurse practitioner not that men cannot be gentle i am a man but a woman provider should be much more sympathetic to your concerns make the appointment and then call them personally a day or so before your exam to discuss your concerns knowing that you have had a bad experience in the past should make them more understanding take their time and make this important exam less stressful for you a small amount of bleeding can be expected with a pap sometimes but certainly the

stop hormone replacement therapy,once you and your clinician have decided that it is time to stop what is the best approach the simple answer is that we do not know formal studies to evaluate this question have failed to show that either going cold turkey or tapering off is better so the choice is really yours the important thing is to know that women in general have about a 5050 chance of experiencing hot flashes again although maybe not as severe as initially after stopping some studies suggest that symptoms peak within 3 months after stopping hormones after you stop take some time to evaluate how you feel before beginning any new medication so you do not get the two effects confused there are a couple of other things to keep an eye on once you have stopped ht if you develop vaginal dryness or recurrent urinary tract infections ask your clinician about vaginal estrogens nonhormonal lubricants and moisturizers can also help with dryness and you might want to ask about a bone density test we know that women who stop ht often lose bone depending on your bone density score and risk profile you might be a candidate for an osteoporosis drug bone sparing at any rate discuss calcium and vitamin d supplements weight bearing exercise and fall prevention with your clinician another good idea is to have your cholesterol rechecked in about 3 months after stopping ht

fatigue an early sign of pregnancy,you can become allergic to the ink at any time or any medicine that you are taking also you can become allergic to it even though you have been on it for a very long time so if you are having a reaction one thing is that it could be an allergic reaction but it could also just be something that is occurring in the area of the tattoo that has something to do with the tattoo but because there is pigment there you can not really see the skin clearly so i would say that this is one time that even though you do not have insurance it is worth seeing a dermatologist to have the area evaluated to make sure that the skin is otherwise healthy oftentimes with a simple cream they can knock out that allergic reaction if that is what it is or the hypersensitivity reaction another way of calling it or do a biopsy to see if there is anything else going on in that area that might be more serious that might need to be treated it is also important to remember that itching is part of a tattoo is healing process intense itching like want to scratch your arm off itching when the old skin dies and flakes off the new skin growth itches like crazy for a few days before settling down cool showers and your tattoo aftercare ointment gently massaged into the tattoo will help but all in all the itching will pass after the tattoo is healed allergic reaction to the ink will look more like red speckles or spots all around your tattoo unusual oozing puss or smelly discharge you will know within hours of receiving your tattoo if you are allergic to the ink most tattoo pigments are completely organic and allergic reactions are rare and most often to red ink never put a first aid product or anti itch lotion onto an unhealed tattoo you will first off be in a ton of pain and subsequently ruin your tattoo a tattoo artist +is it okay to take tylenol and advil together for pain\ i have shingles and im in tremendous pain i took 800 mg of ibuprophen at 3am can

but it also did not work pls tell me what you think it is n what u think i shld b afraid off can it b cancerous can it damage my sight thank you,i am sorry you are going through this unfortunately it is impossible to diagnose something like this without a physical examination i would suggest you return to the doctor if possible the same one you saw last time seeing the same doctor multiple times for the same ailment helps create an accurate history of the problem also your health care provider can for example compare the size of the lesion now to its size when you were last seen this information can be valuable for coming to a diagnosis in answer to your question could it be cancerous again i have to say i do not know if the growth is inside your eyelid then i would say the chances are it is not cancerous if the growth is on your eyelid such as within or below your lash line then i would say it is slightly more possible this could be a cancer but overall not very likely cancers of the eyelid are not all that common your best bet is to return to your health care provider for a re evaluation hope this helps +i have calcification found lots of small movable lumps is it serious,skin peeling on the fingertips or tips of the toes is not expected as a result of diabetes there are probably multiple potential causes including both systemic internal conditions and contact

+what is your opinion of thermage,it does not seem like anyone really knows exactly why some people yawn during or after exercise but there are some theories one thought is that you may be trying to get more oxygen think about what a yawn actually is a long deep breath of air this deep breath may serve as a means to get more oxygen into your body which makes sense because exercise can make your body oxygen deprived yawning can also increase heart rate and blood pressure helping to increase the cardiac output that your heart might need during exercise some research suggests that yawning could actually provide a cooling effect as a way to regulate your core body temperature after exercise as well of course you may just be yawning because you are fatigued or sleep deprived or it could be a side effect of some medications too there really is not one single answer as to why we yawn during or after exercise excessive yawning may be the sign of an underlying health condition however so

intentional pain to try and stimulate someone who has fainted is not something that should be done in most case paramedics do this to check and see if someone is responsive or dead so as long as the fainting victim is breathing just elevate those legs and allow them to recover gently as a former paramedic i can tell you that is never a good idea to hit someone in the chest a person who has fainted should be gently rolled over on their back shaken gently and asked are you ok if they do not respond tilt their head and use your thumb and forefinger to pull out the chin to open the airway if you suspect a neck injury do the chin lift only listen for breathing by putting your ear to their mouth an listening for 10 seconds if they are breathing have someone call ems and support their head holding their airway open by putting your forefingers on each side of their jaw at the angle near their ears and gently push upward if they are not breathing then you can check their pulse in the

and leave dark splotches on my skin some of them also smell funny help,it is important to start with skin that is smooth and exfoliated so the first thing you should do is take a shower and exfoliate really well especially over thicker skin area such as the elbows knees and ankles once you have done that you can even moisturize to have your skin well hydrated a lot of the newer self tanners come with moisturizers in them already when you apply the self tanner you can apply it in smooth strokes and skip the elbows knees and ankles until the very end and then just brush it on there you can even take a towel and wipe it off there because areas that are thicker will absorb more of the product the newer products also come with ingredients that make them less likely to streak and with fragrance that make them less likely to have that awful smell that the older products did i also recommend using one that is a shade lighter because they come in several different tones use one that is a shade lighter than the one you think you might start with so if you think you would want a medium start with a light and put it on in layers over a few hours over the course of the day in order to get to the color that you want and then you can just reapply it once a day to maintain that color +diagnosed with pleurisy and bronchitis should i up the pain medicine go to er or ride it out,i assume that you have been prescribed a brace since you are recovering from a fusion procedure if so it is unlikley that any type of chair would be very harmful for you as long as you are wearing your brace some types of furniture that may be helpful to avoid are ones where your knees have to bend a lot more than 90 degrees for you to get your bottom down to the seat ones where the cushions are extremely soft causing you to sink down into them ones that do not have arms that are available to help you get out of the chair and ones that have a[n] odd angle betwee[n] the seat and the back recliners in and of themselves are not inappropriate as long as you enter and exit the recliner with the seat in the upright position and you do not recline excessively it really is primarily an issue of comfort and unfortunately 5 days out from a fusion procedure it is hard to be comfortable in any chair a lot of that has to do with the surgical pain and dissection of the muscles this will improve exponentially with time +my baby gave me thrush on my nipple could i use clotrimazole to treat it,yes you can use an antifungal cream but use it after you feed your baby wipe your nipples before you nurse if you

does not itch scalps will itch there are so many different causes of itching that it would not be possible to blindly sort them out over the internet if your newly grey scalp is itching it would be

of hair dye every week that eventually caused a lot of breakage in my hair i can honestly say the grey hair could be causing your scalp to itch because of my experience that every time new grays

interesting question to me because i love obscure stuff i should start by saying there often is no answer to why for many weird body occurrences when medicine can not figure out an answer to why they call the situation idiopathic this basically means of unknown origin then too sometimes these weird symptoms actually are normal in your case for instance if your toes have always itched at night then that probably is just normal for you who knows why maybe there is something unique about the way the nerves in your toes function there are certain conditions that can produce the symptom you describe though one of these is raynaud is phenomenon in raynaud is blood flow to the fingers toes and the extremities more generally is disrupted by exposure to cold temperatures the vessels go into spasm and the tissue lacks oxygen so it burns or itches or feels painful a rather obscure symptom of raynaud is is itchy toes of course if you do not have any other symptoms of raynaud is then it is unlikely this is the cause of your symptoms another obscure possible cause of your symptoms is gout usually gout presents with a complaint of sharp pain in the big toe especially at night gout normally causes swelling too if you do not have nighttime swelling and redness in the toe then it is unlikely gout is the source of your symptoms i suggest you continue to monitor the situation and record your symptoms in a log book even if you just write down the dates and times your toes itch it could be helpful to your doctor in arriving at a diagnosis if there is one like i said many times we have no idea what is causing a benign symptom like itchy toes wishing you well +can you start your period early if you forget your birth control pill for 4 days,yes stopping missing those pills +does walking

cholesterol gallstones include gender gallstones form more commonly in women than men age gallstone prevalence increases with age obesity obese people are more likely to form gallstones than thin individuals pregnancy women who have been pregnant are more likely to form gallstones than women who have not been pregnant pregnancy increases the risk for cholesterol gallstones because during pregnancy bile contains more cholesterol and the gallbladder does not contract normally birth control pills and hormone therapy the increased levels of hormones caused by either treatment mimics pregnancy rapid weight loss rapid weight loss by whatever means very low calorie diets or obesity surgery causes cholesterol gallstones in up to 50 of individuals many of the gallstones will disappear after the weight is lost but many do not moreover until they are gone they may cause problems crohn is disease individuals with crohn is disease of the terminal ileum are more likely to develop gallstones gallstones form because patients with crohn is disease lack enough bile acids to solubilize the cholesterol in bile normally bile acids that enter the small intestine from the liver and gallbladder are absorbed back into the body in the terminal ileum and are secreted again by the liver into bile in other words the bile acids recycle in crohn is disease the terminal ileum is diseased bile acids are not absorbed normally the body becomes depleted of bile acids and less bile acids are secreted in bile there are not enough bile acids to keep cholesterol dissolved in bile and gallstones form increased blood triglycerides gallstones occur more frequently in people with elevated blood triglyceride levels risk for pigment gallstones black pigment gallstones form whenever there is an increased load of bilirubin that reaches the liver this occurs whenever there is increased destruction of red blood cells as there is in sickle cell disease and thalassemia black pigment

sex one would think that a culprit could be found to explain the bleeding i was surprised to learn that in three separate studies about 50 of women evaluated showed no obvious reason for the bleeding

persists or is recurrent when all the possible causes have been ruled out then you might be one of the 50 where there is no pathological reason for the bleeding until a work up has been done i would suggest that bleeding after sex is not a symptom to be ignored +is it normal for my girlfriend to be irritated down there after sex usually after sex when we begin again she complains that it hurts

could she be showing signs of pregnancy in such a short period of time,trying to get pregnant can be exciting but also frustrating at times your wife would have to ovulate before being able to conceive so conception just before ovulation would not cause her to have a negative ovulation predictor test it is possible that she had not ovulated yet or that she did not ovulate at all that month it is possible that the weird feeling was because she was getting close to ovulating remember that it is important to test for ovulation for at least 7 days midcycle regardless if her period does not start when anticipated then take a pregnancy test remember that 85 of couples trying to conceive will do so in 1 year +small raised black mole on the fold of my labia majora i am worried it might be

common loud snoring occurs in almost 25 of the population by itself snoring is not considered dangerous to health however in about 5 7 of all men and 2 4 of women the snoring is associated with episodes of stopping breathing observed by a bed partner additionally daytime fatigue and sleepiness may be present when these symptoms are present with snoring sleep apnea is a possible diagnosis

care provider about what screening tests still are necessary to undergo a related question for you is a mammogram necessary at age 86 the answer to your question lies in many individualized factors

many other health problems then she may choose not to undergo colonoscopy the purpose of colonoscopy is to detect precancerous polyps at an early stage in order to remove them colonoscopy is recommended once every 10 years for people at an average risk for colon cancer ultimately if the 86 year old woman in question is of sound mind she is entitled to make her own informed decision about

carefully and make sure you are comparing apples to apples even though your employer coverage may feel like it is too costly an option because most employers provide some kind of premium assistance

physician about the allergy to penicillin many folks mistakenly think that they are allergic to penicillin when in actually they were never allergic to this agent or the allergy has worn off i remember reading that only 20 of individuals with a verified penicillin allergy continued to have a negative reaction after the passage of 10 years from the last dosage taken years ago doctors would culture the throat & would have to wait days for sensitivity results in determining if a patient had strep throat and the appropriate antibiotic that would be needed today in the physician is office a patient can know the results through a swab of the throat and a 10 minute wait period it may be a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor or medical clinic that way your throat can be viewed by a medical professional a diagnostic determination probably made on the spot and you can discuss the possibly that you may not be allergic to penicillin feel better soon +could i be pregnant day of

understand your concern in all honesty i must give your doctor kudos for wanting to wean your teen off the medication many doctors who hand out meds for mental or mood disorders are like drug pushers the trouble with some of these drugs aside from the numerous and ill side effects in teens and young adults is that as your child grows and their chemistry changes these drugs are no longer effective then you have to try a different drug until you face the same issue it is a vicious cycle and the one suffering the most is the child who is beginning to feel much like a guinea pig by this point my advice is to give it a try to see how it works out if you have concerns about the anxiety returning perhaps the doctor would be willing to provide something to be taken in cases of extreme anxiety and if it turns out that this situation is not working out you can ask for your teen to be put back on meds please remember teen years are very anxious times for all children in teen years i experienced it myself and my own teen is currently having issues sometimes the best medicine is to assure them that they are normal and everything will work itself out anxiety attacks are scary and can escalate into all sorts of fears like those of being in the process of dying it helps to be reminded that it is only an anxiety attack not death and it will pass once they calm themselves i wish you all the

harmful for you as long as you are wearing your brace some types of furniture that may be helpful to avoid are ones where your knees have to bend a lot more than 90 degrees for you to get your bottom down to the seat ones where the cushions are extremely soft causing you to sink down into them ones that do not have arms that are available to help you get out of the chair and ones that have a[n] odd angle betwee[n] the seat and the back recliners in and of themselves are not inappropriate as long as you enter and exit the recliner with the seat in the upright position and you do not recline excessively it really is primarily an issue of comfort and unfortunately 5 days out from a fusion procedure it is hard to be comfortable in any chair a lot of that has to do with the surgical pain and dissection of the muscles this will improve exponentially with time +i have a itchy rash that comes and goes what could be causing this the rash appears in different areas of my body for an example a

you do sex every alternate day on the week of your ovulation will you be pregnant with a boy hi my doc told me to try to every alternate day after 12 days from 1st date your period started i am want

percents im young adult male on strict balanced low calorie diet and i wonder whats the minimal daily intake of unsaturated fat in grams or grams per body weight and not percents the only info i found was that with vlcd some researchers speculated that 15 to 25g of fat will decrease the chance to develop gallstones but on the other hand famous vlcds sold on the market contain less then 10g of total fat a day one contains 6 9g another 4 7g and another 8 4g and theyre popular and considered safe,there is not a minimal recommended amount of unsaturated fatty acids based on body weight the institute of medicine iom does provide adequate intakes for the two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids for males 19 70 year old linoleic acid la 17g per day for males alpha linolenic acid ala 1 6g per day these fats are essential because they cannot be made by the body lower levels would still prevent essential fatty acid deficiency but it is difficult to say how low you could go the question is why would you want to lower your fat intake to such a low level the iom recommends a range of total fat between 20 35 of calories some very low calorie diets vlcd may go below that but that should not occur without a doctor is supervision for more on vlcd see this article it is important to remember that you need fat to absorb fat soluble vitamins for satiety and satisfaction and to obtain other

risk if fear of joint pain after exercise keeps you from exercising try using heat and cold on painful joints or take pain relievers which may make it easier for you to exercise and stay active the safest exercises are those that place the least body weight on the joints such as bicycling swimming and water exercise light weight lifting exercises are another option but if you already have osteoarthritis first speak with your doctor no 3 avoid injuries or get them treated suffering a joint injury when you are young predisposes you to osteoarthritis in the same joint when you are older

as flat as possible during stretches to avoid twisting knees when jumping land with your knees bent do warm up exercises before sports even less vigorous ones such as golf cool down after vigorous sports wear properly fitting shoes that provide shock absorption and stability exercise on the softest surface available avoid running on asphalt and concrete if you have a joint injury it is

collagen production and also eliminate or dramatically improve acne scars and surface changes such as sun spots so with this treatment this new generation of co2 lasers you can have a lot less

easier for spotting to occur often such spotting will present after intercourse or even heavy exercise typically it does not develop into a full on period like bleed other reasons for spotting after sex can include problems with the face of your cervix for example if you have a new infection with chlamydia that can make the cervix friable easier to bleed when touched by fingers penis etc if you had a polyp in the cervical canal the polyp tissue is very fragile and bleeds easily my best guess is bcp caused spotting if the spotting persists or you have risks for chlamydia e g new partner or

doctor put me on arm sling now doctor says fractured humuras,an earache from a cold can be a sharp dull or burning pain that can range from mild to very painful even if the trapped fluid in the ear is not infected the fluid puts pressure on the eardrum causing it to bulge and throb with an earache from a cold you or your child may have difficulty sleeping run a fever and have green or yellow mucus in the nose because colds are self limiting an earache with a cold usually goes away on its own still if you have an earache an ear infection may be likely which means you might need to see your doctor for a diagnosis and proper treatment while earaches can occur first with a cold virus sometimes a secondary ear infection may occur these ear infections are usually sudden in onset and extremely painful in the beginning that is because the sensory nerve endings in the eardrum respond to increased pressure with pain after the eardrum stretches a little the earache pain may ease up other symptoms of an earache from an ear infection may include the following loss of appetite this may be apparent in young children especially during bottle feedings pressure changes in the middle ear as the child swallows causing more pain irritability poor sleep pain may be more persistent when lying down as fluid is shifting fever ear infections can cause temperatures up to 104 degrees f vertigo you may have a sense of spinning drainage from the ear yellow brown or white fluid that is not earwax may seep from the ear indicating the eardrum has ruptured difficulty hearing fluid build up in the middle ear prevents the eardrum from functioning properly the sound is then unable to be transmitted to the bones of the middle ear and from there to the brain otitis media with effusion

night what can i do to stop i am a 38 year old female with oab i am currently being treated with oxybutynin er 15 mg,i am sorry your bladder issue is disrupting your sleep how annoying since you are already taking an appropriate medication i suggest you have a chat with your health care provider to see if the dosage is right or maybe you need a different medication for the overactive bladder one thing you can do is stop drinking fluids close to bedtime i realize oxybutynin can cause dry mouth and other unpleasant side effects but cutting of liquids within a couple of hours of bedtime might

partial hysterectomy in my ‘40 is at 51 i have hot flashes mood changes and depression is this is menopause,it sure sounds like you are becoming menopausal one test that would probably help would be to do a blood test to measure your estrogen level estradiol and a hormone called fsh follicle stimulating hormone made by the pituitary and as the ovaries stop working the pituitary gets working harder to try to stimulate them and the fsh goes up if you are having bothersome symptoms estrogen would most likely help and presuming you are basically in good medical health otherwise your health care provider could prescribe it to you another possibility as you mentioned that you were dealing with significant depression would be an ssri type antidepressant it might well help with your mood and should also help some with hot flashes +is shingles contagious,i am not a doctor but i have breast fed 8 children and have some experience in this area it is absolutely possible if you have breast fed in the past i do not know if this can happen if you have not breast fed before even semi distant past you can start producing milk again if your sexual partner does a lot of caressing and sucking on your breast if you are still ovulating andor having a period and even if you are using birth control this can happen it does not necessarily mean your pregnant you can always ask your partner if it

previously +what stage is cirrhosis of the liver when the person becomes delusional we just found out my son in law has cirrhosis of the liver he is currently in the hospital and the doctors are running test they will do a biopsy on monday if he does not have a fever he is currently having periods of being delusional thinking various things are happening when nothing is going on our daughter said this morning that he told the nurses rats where running along the floor,i am sorry for the illness of your brother in law i do not know his medical history and i am not a doctor but i will try to provide you with some information as follows the symptoms as you describe can occur at any stage of liver disease but a diagnosis for the condition is not usually made until acute liver failure occurs sometimes the symptoms appear even when liver disease has not been diagnosed the condition is called hepatic encephalopathy because the liver is damaged and cannot adequately remove toxins from the bloodstream the toxins build up in the body causing confusion fatigue and sometimes hallucinations hepatic encephalopathy can lead to mental deterioration personality changes coma and even death but hepatic encephalopathy may also be reversible through treatments directed at removing the toxins and eliminating protein from the diet patients with hepatic encephalopathy may experience delusions hallucinations or illusions a delusion is a wrong fixed idea such as “i am the king of england ” a hallucination occurs when a person perceives something through the senses where there is no actual stimulus an example of a hallucination might be seeing rats running down a blank wall an illusion is a sense oriented defect in which a stimulus is present but incorrectly identified by one of the senses an example of an illusion might be seeing a crack in a wall and believing that it actually a trail of rats summary many times there are no overt symptoms of liver disease during the early stages of liver disease including cirrhosis it is suspected that your brother in law may be in a more advanced stage of liver disease your brother in law appears to be in an acute stage of liver disease that has resulted in toxin build up within the body causing stage 3 hepatic encephalopathy hepatic encephalopathy patients may have a reversal of this condition with efficient and timely medical treatment unfortunately some hepatic encephalopathy patients do not respond to treatment and death may occur i hope that this answer has been helpful and that you and your family remain well during this period of medical uncertainty +my son is 2 has eczema mild at moment he suffers from diarrhea constantly but not ill he also is prone to chest infections and penis infections currently

in your 2 year old child a number of disorders can present with these features many of the children are simply having the repeated viral upper respiratory tract infections that are a normal part of growing up in others the symptoms are the first manifestations of asthma but in an important minority there is a clear history of persistent or recurrent episodes of pneumonia or of chronic sputum production indicating more severe pathology it is important to rule out uncommon causes like bronchiectasis cystic fibrosis and immunodeficiency in consultation with your paediatrician as the same is

with them i spent 5000 for the hearing aids and now i feel they are not working i am 86 but in relatively good health i have had labyrinthitis most of my adult life the hearing is getting worse as i age,see an ear nose and throat ent specialist again one that specializes in inner ear disorders neuro otologist based on your brief posting i am not sure that you have labyrinthitis which typically does not last all of your adult life i suspect you have something different but that is just a blind guess also see an audiologist someone who can re test your hearing and see if your hearing assistive device can be improved it should not be causing your vertigo to be worse some forms of hearing loss and vertigo can worsen with age and you may be told at some point that little can be done

what will be the incentive for employers already providing very good health care coverage to maintain the plans they have it seems to me that this opens that door for everyone to have access to

time it has happened i did feel it once before about 2 years ago and the same thing it was sore around the area and in the same spot which is losated to back part of the anal area,most helpful answer without being able to examine the area it sounds like either a hemorrhoid or possibly an abscess however your doctor needs to examine you to exactly determine what it is in addition to the bump a hemorrhoid is often itchy it is typically caused by constipation or having to strain more when having a bowel movement they are not typically sore but can be especially if they get inflamed however an abscess is more likely to be tender as it is a bacterial infection with a build up of pus in the area i have included a couple of links above to help you learn more about both of these conditions you need to determine exactly what is causing it by seeing your doctor in order to know how to treat it it could be one of these conditions or something else +my nose is bleeding and eyes are bloodshot

best meet your health needs for the coming year is far from simple if you get your insurance through an employer you will likely be given a few plan options from which to choose if you buy insurance in the private market you can search for plans available in your area and compare the benefits side by side at either healthcare gov or ehealthinsurance com when evaluating each plan take the following factors into consideration do the math estimating what your out of pocket costs will be over the course of the next year is one of the most important considerations when choosing a health plan that means calculating the cost of items such as expected deductibles co pays co insurance and prescriptions once you have added the numbers ask yourself is it cheaper to purchase a high deductible plan with a lower monthly premium that costs me more before benefits kick in or do i see a doctor frequently enough to make it worth my while to pay more each month for a plan that covers costs right away for each doctor visit or treatment also factor in your worst case scenario what will your maximum financial exposure be if you get sick and need serious medical care most insurers offer plan modeling tools on their web site to help you factor in how many times you typically see a doctor during the year how many prescriptions you take and whether you are planning a surgery to help you figure out what your total out of pocket costs might be and which plan options might best serve you review covered services if you are planning to become pregnant and your plan does not cover maternity care a common situation in the private market you will be left with a hefty bill upon baby is arrival carefully check out the list of excluded benefits in the health plan summary if in doubt call the insurance company directly to confirm that the type of care and services you require are covered under the plan you are considering provider networks and drug formularies is your doctor in the network are the three medications you take each month listed in the health plan is formulary if not you are in for sticker shock provider network and drug formulary information should be listed in

prescription tretinoin creams a revolutionary innovation in the cosmeceutical industry is changing that now all you may need to do is go to your drugstore or department store and look for products that contain dna repair ingredients these ingredients now come in every product imaginable — creams lotions serums sunscreens and here is the wonderful thing they really do work dna skin repair ingredients are usually based on enzymes derived from a variety of sources including plankton and plants most of the major skin care companies are already selling dna repair products and are closely following the new research all these products seem to improve the skin so it is not necessary to buy the most expensive one these enzymes work by restoring dna that has been damaged by free radicals most often caused by sun exposure pollution and other environmental factors dna damage is what causes sagging wrinkles and rough textured skin in other words it is what makes you look old dna repair products do not seem to fade brown spots though and though they soften fine lines they will not have the dramatic effect of botox or hyaluronic acid fillers that plump deep creases still people really notice a difference after a few weeks of using these products and they are usually happy with the results one of the advantages of most dna repair products is that unlike tretinoin and retinols which should only be used at night they do not interact with sunlight and can be used during the day in fact a few sunscreens already include dna repair ingredients although the research is still coming in this may be the wave of the future in sun protection +my granddaughter has a cough and nasal discharge that disrupt sleep can a 3 month old have an allergy,we all love our pets we treat them like family members and in many ways we treat them better than people but can they cause you misery where you least expect it yes indeed snoring pooches in our bed can wreak havoc on our sleep and we are not always as inclined to kick them out as we would a snoring spouse i was reminded about the trials of sleeping with a snoring dog when i read an amusing blog called “fully vetted ” the author and veterinarian patty khuly brought up a few interesting points * if you suffer from insomnia aside from your snoring bed partner then your problems finding sleep are even more challenging — especially if you awaken in the middle of the night and can not get back to sleep thanks to the nasally roar of your neighbor * the same physical issues experienced by humans when they snore airway obstruction must also affect snoring dogs dogs who snore are almost certainly experiencing some degree of respiratory compromise that affects their waking lives too so yes i guess dogs can be victims of sleep apnea just like humans * but unlike humans dogs do not sweat they regulate their body temperature through panting — using their tongue and airway as a cooling mechanism dogs who are unable to move air efficiently are not only more likely to suffer heat stress they are also less likely to move enough air into their bodies to oxygenate their blood efficiently which helps explain why snore prone breeds can suffer from chronic fatigue * dogs that endure a lifetime of poor breathing can end up getting hiatal hernias which can be life threatening so yes something as seemingly harmless as snoring can instigate other health troubles that create a domino effect down a dangerous path but then again the same can be said for humans who snore due to something like obstructive sleep apnea which can trigger respiratory and circulatory distress farther down the line all this brings to mind a recent headline about dogs who die while traveling on planes it turns out that short snouted dogs are most likely to die on planes–bulldogs pugs and similar breeds made up about half of deaths in past 5 years short nosed breeds — known as “brachycephalic” in the dog world — have a skull formation that affects their airways they can not cool themselves off so easily and are prone to heat distress and in severe cases death luckily humans [all] have similarly shaped nasal passages what distinguishes those who snore and may suffer health consequences from those who do not is usually related to something other than the shape of one is nose body weight especially neck circumference is one such factor the thicker your neck the higher your risk for snoring among other health challenges but it is interesting how the problems that plague our four legged friends are not all that different dogs and humans +i have or think i have hair loss when should i contact my doctor,call your doctor if your hair loss is sudden rather than gradual you notice hair shedding in large amounts after combing or

toothpaste or which brush he wants to use after he brushes for the count of 10 it is your turn for 10 go back and forth a few times kindergarten allow her to do the morning brushing solo but use an egg timer so she knows how long to brush at bedtime you get to help or at least take a turn after she finishes elementary school children this age should be able to brush their own teeth but you may

has been causing me pain for approx 10 yrs have seen ents over the years now i have to get a biopsy the doctor is going to remove a fairly large sample around 1 i will be asleep for it if this was cancer would not it have taken over already then again i guess it would depend on the type of cancer i have not used tobacco i have noticed that this hurts more at certain times of the month i am a woman the doctors have no answer for this,surgery is one of two main treatments for early stage prostate cancer radiation is the other surgery may be done to remove the prostate and its cancer it may done to remove and test lymph nodes in the area to see whether the cancer has spread it also may be done to fix urinary problems that are caused by a tumor pressing on the urethra the stage of your prostate cancer along with your age and general health will affect the type of surgery you choose surgery choices radical prostatectomy is an operation to remove the entire prostate and any nearby tissue that may contain cancer it can be done as open surgery through an incision cut in the belly or as laparoscopic surgery through several very small incisions in the belly laparoscopic surgery is done with a tiny camera and special instruments to remove the prostate sometimes lymph nodes in the area also are removed so that they can be checked for signs of cancer this is called a lymph node biopsy nerve sparing surgery helps preserve the nerves that are along the side of the prostate and that are needed for an erection this is only done when there is little chance of leaving cancer cells behind if you already have sexual function issues nerve sparing surgery may not be the best choice for you laparoscopic surgery is most often done by hand a few doctors now do this surgery by guiding robotic arms that hold the surgery tools this is called robot assisted prostatectomy what to think about removing the prostate can cause erection problems and bladder problems but for many men these problems get better over time if you and your doctor decide that you need surgery be sure to choose a highly skilled surgeon at a hospital that has a good success rate studies show that men have fewer side effects from prostate surgery when they have a skilled and experienced surgeon 15 surgery may completely remove your prostate cancer but it is not possible to know for sure before surgery whether the cancer has spread beyond the prostate when cancer has spread it cannot always be cured with surgery alone webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the

adults who have been circumcised and initially after the circumcision they are hypersensitive they can feel more than they like it is almost more uncomfortable than they can take and then it levels off some men will tell you that they do not feel any more or less after the circumcision some men feel very maimed that the sensation is dramatically lost if the foreskin is a sensory organ and they lose that there are other men that do not like having a foreskin that they find it to be a problem for them whether they find a lot of infection or maybe it is social maybe in the gym all the other guys in the shower are circumcised and they feel out of place there are risks to the surgery in good hands those risks are minimal but they can not be eliminated so the circumcision in newborns or adults needs to be looked at by you by your partner in discussions with your doctor as to what you feel is best for you as a family understanding that there are pros and cons to both sides usually an

cushion causes friction between the bones leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility inflammation of the cartilage can also stimulate new bone outgrowths spurs also referred to as osteophytes to form around the joints osteoarthritis occasionally can develop in multiple members of the same family implying a hereditary genetic basis for this condition secondary osteoarthritis is caused by another disease or condition conditions that can lead to secondary osteoarthritis include obesity repeated trauma or surgery to the joint structures abnormal joints at birth congenital abnormalities

the glucose in the solution is important because it forces the small intestine to quickly absorb the fluid and the electrolytes the purpose of the electrolytes in the solution is the prevention and treatment of electrolyte deficiencies in the united states convenient premixed commercial ors products that are similar to the who ors are available for rehydration and prevention of dehydration examples of these products are pedialyte rehydralyte infalyte and resol most of the commercially available ors products in the u s contain glucose infalyte is the only one that contains rice carbohydrate instead of glucose most doctors believe that there are no important differences in effectiveness between glucose and rice carbohydrate infants and young children most acute diarrhea in infants and young children is due to viral gastroenteritis and is usually short lived antibiotics are not routinely prescribed for viral gastroenteritis however fever vomiting and loose stools can be symptoms of other childhood infections such as otitis media infection of the middle ear pneumonia bladder infection sepsis bacterial infection in the blood and meningitis these illnesses may require early antibiotic treatment infants with acute diarrhea also can quickly become severely dehydrated and therefore need early rehydration for these reasons sick infants with diarrhea should be evaluated by their pediatricians to identify and treat underlying infections as well as to provide instructions on the proper use of oral rehydration products infants with moderate to severe dehydration usually are treated with intravenous fluids in the hospital the pediatrician may decide to treat infants who are mildly dehydrated due to viral gastroenteritis at home with ors infants that are breast fed or formula fed should continue to receive breast milk during the rehydration phase of their illness if not prevented by vomiting during and for a short time after recovering from viral gastroenteritis babies can be lactose intolerant due to a temporary deficiency of the enzyme lactase necessary to digest the lactose in milk in the small intestine patients with lactose intolerance can develop worsening diarrhea and cramps when dairy products are introduced therefore after rehydration with ors an undiluted lactose free formula and diluted juices are recommended milk products can be gradually increased as the baby improves older children and adults during mild cases of diarrhea diluted fruit juices soft drinks containing sugar sports drinks such as gatorade and water can be used to prevent dehydration caffeine and lactose containing dairy products should be temporarily avoided since they can aggravate diarrhea the latter primarily in individuals with transient lactose intolerance if there is no nausea and vomiting solid foods should be continued foods that usually are well tolerated during a diarrheal illness include rice cereal bananas potatoes and lactose free

pregnancy,doctors and nurses get information from medicine labels and packages textbooks and research journals they also share knowledge with other doctors and nurses and talk to the people who make and sell medicines the food and drug administration fda is the part of the u s government that controls the medicines that can and can not be sold in the u s the fda lets a company sell a medicine in the u s if it is safe to use and works for a certain problem companies that make medicines usually have to show fda doctors and scientists whether birth defects or other problems occur in baby animals when the medicine is given to pregnant animals most of the time drugs are not studied in pregnant women the fda works with the drug companies to make clear and complete labels but in most cases there is not much information about how a medicine affects pregnant women and their growing babies many prescription medicine labels include the results of studies done in pregnant animals but a medicine does not always affect growing humans and animals in the same way here is an example a medicine is given to pregnant rats if the medicine causes problems in some of the rat babies it may or may not cause problems in human babies if there are no problems in the rat babies it does not prove that the medicine will not cause problems in human babies the fda asks for studies in two different kinds of animals this improves the chance that the studies can predict what may happen in pregnant women and their babies there is a lot that fda doctors and scientists do not know about using medicine during pregnancy in a perfect world every medicine label would include helpful information about the medicine is effects on pregnant women and their growing babies unfortunately this is not the case +what is

take a more detailed medical history and more importantly someone who can examine you your testicles are too important to rely on a blind guess via the internet +i have made hiv 12 + p24 antigen test am i free from hiv,well that is an interesting question vitamin e does possess some anti clotting properties some research does suggest that taking high doses of vitamin e and i am referring here to vitamin e supplements can indeed contribute to hemorrhagic stroke however the amount of vitamin e required to cause bleeding in the brain is not well established and could be influenced by many factors including the individual is age and overall cardiac health keep in mind also that taking other anticoagulants in conjunction with vitamin e could increase the risk of bleeding in general for example combining vitamin e with a daily aspirin fish oil supplements krill oil supplements or prescription blood thinners like warfarin coumadin is inadvisable it is my opinion that individuals should not put themselves on anticoagulant therapy many people have heard that taking a baby aspirin every day is good for heart health for example this may or may not be true it would be better to consult a medical professional to find out if this type of therapy or vitamin e or whatever is right for you or not i hope this helps +do some diseases cause vitamin or mineral deficiencies,i feel like smoking is not all that different from any other health issue too much fatty meats is bad for your cholesterol causing your arteries to clog then you get a heart attack then you die so now you have to stop eating the foods you like there is also the too much sugar or sodium gives you diabetes along with other diseasesdeficiencies also shortening your lifespan so now you cant have salty or sweet foods that you like so with my brilliant brain i came up with a conclusion and its not rocket science its common sens that a lot of you lack and this is that too much of everything is bad for you for one second forget about smoking being bad and think of this for example you go to the beach with your family you bring sunblock very common product to bring to the beach and to apply on yourself the purpose of this chemically engineered lotion or oil is to black uv rays from you getting badly burnt by them and to avoid you getting skin cancer so in your eyes its a good product wrong did you ever think of what long term effect this chemical product will do once it seeps in through your pores and into your body through the course of time of course not and the truth is that 100 of the products you buy and apply on your skin and consume are all not safe chemicals and are not grown or raised naturally so everything you use kills you i am a smoker and i like smoking i smoke a pack in 4 days making me a light smoker and i am very aware of what smoking does to your health but i feel that if i enjoy it and i dont abuse it cuz too much of anything is bad for you so i decided i should just smoke same goes for the fatty meats sweets and salty foods enjoy life dont put all these restrictions on yourself just have to remember not to push it its all about the right dosage +can

some ed issues and had blood work and the above information was on the test results i am 71 yrs old i weigh 195 lbs 6 ft tall and i am in good health taking no meds my blood pressure is 12268 fit and very low body fat i exercise approx 45 min at least 5 times a week with these blood test results and my physical condition no meds blood pressure good what best guess would give me hint where to go from here,hi when shbg levels are increased beyond what is expected there is likely to be less free testosterone available to the tissues than is indicated by the total testosterone this could lead to poor libido in men males 10 57 nmoll in men aged 70 89 years modulation of androgen action may occur via an age related increase in shbg and reduction in free testosterone without a decline in total testosterone concentration increasing age bmi and lh are independently associated with lower free testosterone further investigation would be required to assess the clinical consequences of low serum free testosterone particularly in older men in whom total testosterone may be preserved ok so far so good then i think it works this way your shbg is 118 which is double what it should be this affects your testosterone and lowers it so hence ed has your doctor offered you anything to raise it back up yet if not you could try some dhea it is a hormone this helps raise you testosterone lift your libido and kick up you energy levels but get your wife to keep an eye on you it can give the odd person some funny side effects and with this you could take some tribulus this works along the same lines they work together so would help the dhea but this is up to you how you go this is just a suggestion i am on both daily for ed and a whole load of other things that seem to work for my ed and i am 67 good luck +we own our own business and provide and pay 100 of our employees health insurance as a small business with 5 employees will there be tax credits available for employers,there are tax

gastroenterologist or general surgeon may do this type of procedure an anal abscess can be a simple drainage procedure or a more involved surgical removal so finding the most skilled specialist is important a general or rectal surgeon is the appropriate physician to see for treatment of an anal abscess an abscess is a collection of pus an anal abscess may develop in the deep tissues surrounding the anus or be more shallow under the skin they both require immediate treatment to lance the abscess and let it drain therefore it is important that you see a surgeon a general practitioner may be able to take care of a small abscess in the office antibiotics alone usually cannot treat the problem without proper treatment an abscess can cause a widespread infection septicemia you are more likely to get an anal abscess if you have diabetes inflammatory bowel disease such as crohn is engage in anal sex or have an impaired immune system such as from aids or chemotherapy if you have recurrent anal abscesses and there is no clear explanation for their cause a consultation with a physician who specializes in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract gastroenterologist may be

if the mammogram is abnormal,do not panic if you are told that your mammogram is abnormal or that there is a spot on your mammogram an abnormal mammogram does not mean you have cancer the overwhelming majority of abnormal mammograms are caused by benign harmless processes in some cases it may just be an area of thicker or more dense breast tissue a cyst or a benign lump such as a fibroadenoma when a mammogram detects a suspicious area the patient may be advised to obtain further mammograms of that area to have an ultrasound or other imaging study of the breast to see a specialist in diseases of the breast this is usually a general surgeon or to have a biopsy performed of the suspicious area a breast biopsy is the removal of a piece of breast tissue for examination under a microscope the biopsy can be performed surgically in which an incision is made and the area removed or it can be done as a stereotactic core biopsy stereotactic core biopsy is a technique of removing samples of the suspicious area without the need for traditional surgery in this technique the doctor with the aid of a special mammography machine and a computer can identify precisely the abnormality in the breast and then obtain very thin core samples of breast tissue with a special needle this biopsy test is done with only a local anesthetic in the area of the needle puncture and is generally painless fortunately most breast biopsies give benign results while mammography is not sufficiently accurate to diagnose or exclude breast cancer alone it is currently the best method available to screen for breast cancer since its more widespread routine use breast cancers are found when they are significantly smaller and more curable more women are surviving breast cancer as a result of mammography and early cancer treatment continued use of routine mammography should be encouraged until a better alternative in breast cancer detection has been found +what should i do if i suspect an overdose of

possibility is ibs +though my baby is exclusively breastfed why does he fail to thrive,please note that the weight gain of your baby is fine normally birth weight doubles by the age of 6 months which i think it has as for 7 12 months of age the weight is only a very little bit lesser probably because of reflux issues also babies pass stools either 10 to 15 times a day or once in two to three days so i do not think there is constipation i feel that if the baby had any major problems then the child will not be able to become double of birth weight by 7 months of age according to me the child is having a fair amount of weight gain which is slightly on the lower side probably due to the reflux which will go away eventually with age also you can give multivitamins and calcium supplements to

strength in youth the time of peak bone mineral content velocity the time around puberty when bone rapidly forms is an important time for children and early teens to be exercising because 1 research shows that increases in estrogen in girls helps bone form puberty is when estrogen rises and exercise added during this time enhances the effect on bone density 2 research shows that active youth have higher bone density than inactive children 3 research suggests that denser bone formed during childhood may track into adulthood that is if children and teens exercise enough to create denser bones than their sedentary peers then they may have thicker bones as adults as for young adults it is generally believed that peak bone density is reached by the time we reach our late 20s or early 30s and research suggests that athletes in this age group have higher bone mineral density than sedentary individuals for middle aged and older adults bone density decreases by about 5 per decade after the age of 40 some scientists believe that during these times of life it may not be realistic to expect substantial increases in bone density but rather we should expect a reduction or attenuation of the loss of bone that we experience as we age these scientists may be right because there is little evidence that walking weight lifting or any other type of exercise substantially increases bone density in older adults what you can say with some certainty is that active individuals in these age groups do maintain their bone density while their sedentary peers do not and that is a good thing equally important for older adults in terms of osteoporosis is the effect of exercise on the risk of falling when individuals with osteoporosis fall they typically break bones and in fact sometimes the bones are so brittle that they break before the person hits the ground for example just stepping off a curb could break a brittle bone in the hip and then the individual falls as a result people fall for many reasons including poor balance poor vision decreased strength and range of motion and cognitive impairments like dementia exercise can not help every factor but studies show that exercises such as balance training e g tai chi leg strengthening and flexibility training e g yoga can reduce the risk of falling in older adults as for which exercises are best for people with osteoporosis the simple answer is 1 weight bearing exercises that cause force on the bones like jogging stair +what is a good evening routine for skin care,it looks like kidney problems you should consult a

an overdose of ativan,if your doctor put you on a low dose aspirin regimen i would urge you not to discontinue it without your doctor is approval your health care provider would not put you on an aspirin regimen unless he or she believed you needed it if you are experiencing undesirable side effects like the bruising and bleeding issues please make an appointment to discuss these with your health care provider because he or she needs to know that this is happening your doctor may want to take you off aspirin lower the dose or put you on a different medication altogether if on the other hand you started taking daily aspirin on your own because you have read it might be good for you or help prevent a heart attack or something then you probably are ok to stop going to an every other day regimen is a great way to taper off the dose do that for a week then go to every second day for a week and so on until you are down to once a week at that point you can stop i want to make a point that no one should self medicate for heart concerns with aspirin whether low dose or regular strength blood thinning should be done only under the supervision of a health care provider also when a person is on an aspirin regimen he or she should be aware of over the counter supplements such as fish oil and vitamin e that also have blood thinning properties taking too many or too much of these products can cause the bleeding and bruising problems you describe i hope this helps +what can i do to help with arthritis in my feet on the bottom of my feet and they hurt badly,have you had them

the diagnosis but since she was diagnosed i told the er when she died they put the 1st cause of death as breathing failure septic shock infarcted bowl and heart failure i think were in there as 2nd and 3rd ,most helpful answer my experience in care of copd patients included use of steroids to decrease inflammation antibiotics to treat infection and nebulizer treatments to improve oxygen levels assuming there are no drug allergies to those medications my instinctive answer would be that the treatment for copd would not have had adverse effects on breathing i see several of the same patients

child in college is being treated for depression we feel more support is needed but live far away what can we do,when you are bitten by a malaria infected mosquito the parasites that cause malaria are injected into your blood and invade your liver cells the parasite reproduces in the liver cells which then burst open allowing thousands of new parasites to enter the bloodstream and infect red blood cells the parasites reproduce again in the blood cells kill the blood cells and then move to other uninfected blood cells the time from the initial malaria infection until symptoms appear incubation period generally ranges from 1 9 to 14 days for plasmodium p falciparum 12 to 18 days for p vivax and p ovale 18 to 40 days for p malariae 11 to 12 days for p knowlesi symptoms can appear in 7 days occasionally the time between exposure and signs of illness may be as long as 8 to 10 months with p vivax and p ovale because these parasites can survive in the human liver for a long time the incubation period may be longer if you are taking medicine to prevent infection chemoprophylaxis or have developed partial immunity due to previous infections malaria can begin with flu like symptoms in the early stages infection from p falciparum is similar to infection from p vivax p malariae and p ovale you may have no symptoms or symptoms that are less severe if you are immune or partially immune to malaria common malaria symptoms include fever chills and a rapidly rising temperature headaches nausea and extreme sweating symptoms may appear in cycles the time between episodes of fever and other symptoms varies with the specific parasite you are infected with episodes of symptoms may occur every 48 hours if you are infected with p vivax or p ovale every 72 hours if you are infected with p malariae p falciparum does not usually have a regular cyclic fever after the early stages life threatening complications develop rapidly with p falciparum and p knowlesi and if untreated may result in irreversible complications or death 2 if untreated you may recover in a week to a month or longer after being infected with p vivax p malariae or p ovale malaria can be a very serious disease for a pregnant woman and her unborn baby fetus and for young children medication choices are limited for a pregnant woman or a child infection with p falciparum can lead to death for a

pressure after percocet following knee replacement reversal drug felt like heart attack explain taken percocet before for previous knee replacement pressure 7030 for several hours reversal drug 18 of regular dose felt like heart attack please explain this reaction,i wish i could explain this but it is impossible to know what happened without knowing the specifics involved percocet generic name oxycodone apap is an oral tablet taken by swallowing usually post surgical pain is treated with intravenous iv medication not pills it is possible your post surgical blood pressure issues had nothing to do with the percocet normally low blood pressure in the recovery room is treated with iv fluids i do not know what reversal drug you were given for the percocet i am going to assume you received naloxone brand name narcan i do not know why this would cause you to feel as if you were having a heart attack i could speculate but that would be of no use if you are truly concerned about this i advise taking it up with the surgeon who performed your knee replacement surgery he should have access to the anesthesia and nursing records that show exactly what medications you were given the times they were given and the dosages you received perhaps your surgeon could shed some light on what happened wishing you well +i have anterior cruciate ligament tear…do i need surgery,my chest feels very heavy +what is best for seasickness or motion sickness,this is an area that we have to be a little careful with because of the fact that i get a lot of questions from pregnant women about this there are products which can be used which actually are not drugs at all they are called sea bands there is actually a product that is a wrist bracelet and it applies pressure to certain areas of the wrist and there is no side effects but it does tend to work i also ask people if they are going to be going on a boat trip or a long boating or a train trip because that is when people tend to feel the most seasick or motion sickness there are a few things that i tell people to keep in mind try to not read when you are traveling in a train or in the car this is known to be a trigger of causing this you also want to try to maintain a good sight a straight line of vision because if you are moving your head allover the place you are going to get dizzier even more then also try not to drink or eat excessively when you are on these type of trips i know it is hard but once again alcohol can cause you to not feel so well get a little dizzy especially with a little nausea there are products that are available if you are pregnant though these products are not meant for you to take because they are not safe in women who are pregnant but for an average adult they contain antihistamine and what it does is it causes a little bit of drowsiness and it tries to kind of calm down that center in the brain that triggers nausea and vomiting they may cause a little bit of drowsiness so you want to be careful but they are available in a tubal form as well so it is easier for people who maybe do not have access to water or to have a drink or older adults who really have a problem sometimes swallowing pills so great products they are available once again talk to your pharmacist because if you are on some other medications there could be some interactions so we will need to talk to you first before we recommend those products +my last 2 periods have been painful and heavy and a strong odor and the 1 st period was 2 wks late i am 48,given your age you are probably getting close to

brain tumors,brain tumors can be benign or malignant benign brain tumors do not contain cancer cells usually benign tumors can be removed and they seldom grow back the border or edge of a benign brain tumor can be clearly seen cells from benign tumors do not invade tissues around them or spread to other parts of the body however benign tumors can press on sensitive areas of the brain and cause serious health problems unlike benign tumors in most other parts of the body benign brain tumors are sometimes life threatening very rarely a benign brain tumor may become malignant malignant brain tumors contain cancer cells malignant brain tumors are generally more serious and often are life threatening they are likely to grow rapidly and crowd or invade the surrounding healthy brain tissue very rarely cancer cells may break away from a malignant brain tumor and spread to other parts of the brain to the spinal cord or even to other parts of the body the spread of cancer is called metastasis sometimes a malignant tumor does not extend into healthy tissue the tumor may be contained within a layer of tissue or the bones of the skull or another structure in the head may confine it this kind of tumor is called encapsulated tumor grade doctors sometimes group brain tumors by grade from low grade grade i to high grade grade iv the grade of a tumor refers to the way the cells look under a microscope cells from high grade tumors look more abnormal and generally grow faster than cells from low grade tumors +i recently got lasik surgery now vision is blurry and can not see fine

ibuprofen belongs to the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug class *nsaids the answer to your question depends on which brand of pamprin you have it is important to look at the active ingredients found on any over the counter medication label to make sure you are not duplicating ingredients if you are referring to pamprin all day it would be the same as taking ibuprofen since they are both nsaids therefore i would not take motrin with pamprin all day it would be acceptable based on the ingredients to take motrin with either pamprin multi symptom cramp or max +how can i treat my baby and

fainting syncope some of which are serious after a fainting episode further testing is often recommended to make sure a serious cause of syncope such as an abnormal heart rhythm is not responsible +how are breast changes early signs of pregnancy,changes in your breasts are another very early sign of pregnancy when you conceive your body undergoes a rapid change in hormone levels because of the changes in hormones you may notice in one to two weeks that your breasts have become swollen sore or tingly or they may feel heavier or fuller or feel tender to the touch in addition the area around the nipples called the areola may darken pregnancy is not the only thing that can cause breast changes a hormonal imbalance that is unrelated to pregnancy could be responsible the changes could also be caused by a change in birth control pills or they could be a premenstrual symptom if the changes are an early symptom of pregnancy keep in mind that it is going to take your body several weeks to get used to the new levels of hormones but when it does your breasts will feel less painful than they do in the beginning +what causes heart failure,a typical pregnancy is nine months long but to give

vision will be impaired,i am sorry you are going through this it is not uncommon to mistake one medication for another it happens to the best of us it sounds like you did everything right you flushed your eye and sought medical attention it would not be uncommon for you to have a dry swollen feeling in the lower lid after placing campho phenique in the eye you do not say how long ago this happened it is possible the situation will clear up you can continue lubricating the eye with plain saline eye drops such as nature is tears brand bausch & lomb brand saline drops for sensitive eyes or any generic brand of sterile saline solution do not use plain tap water as this will only irritate the eye further if the problem does not get better within a week of the time you sought medical attention

you never know when you will need one wishing you well +i wish to get pregnant but i am in contact with a person with cytomegalovirus cmv infection,as you lose weight your caloric intake will decrease

has any relevancy but i believe i did this about 35 seconds after he came on my thigh i also went to rinse myself off shortly after,most helpful answer yes you can in fact anyone who has had chicken pox can get shingles in the future that is because shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox like chicken pox shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus once the virus has gotten into your body it gives you chicken pox after you have recovered from chicken pox the varicella zoster virus lies dormant inactive in your system if it ever re activates it causes shingles shingles can occur any people of any age but the rate of shingles increases as you get older according to the centers for disease control and prevention cdc about half of all shingles cases occur in

normal,given that [the pregnancy test] was negative and you mentioned increasingly light flows over time my best guess is that this is a normal mirena side effect simply stated if the uterine lining is like grass or lawn estrogen is like the fertilizer causes a thickening of the lining and progesterone is like the lawnmower keeps the lining thin by three different mechanisms this is why depoprovera high dose synthetic progesterone brings about a thin lining and why birth control pills relatively progesterone dominant bring about shorter lighter periods the mirena distributes significant amounts of synthetic progesterone right at the level of the lining of the uterus that is why a large percent of mirena users lose their periods after 12 months of use as mentioned this can also happen with birth control pills and the depo provera shot a thin lining is a healthy lining when it is caused by hormones in birth control methods your lining will regrow after the mirena is removed or even toward the end of the five years as the level of hormone in the iud is tapering down +for about two years now i have been having a problem with my ears i know this will probably sound

catching a cold or flu,the developing fetus receives its nutrition from the mother is blood therefore high fat diets and some vegetarian diets are discouraged during pregnancy because they may not provide all the nutrition needed for the developing fetus bulimia anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders in the mother need to be addressed and treated weight reduction diets are avoided excess intake of sugar alcohol megavitamins and caffeine should also be avoided because a safe amount of caffeine has never been confirmed to date it is best to avoid caffeine entirely women who feel strongly that they need some coffee are advised to drink no more than one cup per day there is no proof that one to two cups of coffee daily cause pregnancy complications listeria is a type of

are strictly controlled to exclude phenylalanine megavitamins contain double or even triple the recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals high doses of vitamin a have been implicated in producing birth defects the better idea is to avoid megavitamins and instead follow the recommendation that has proven benefit take a prenatal vitamin containing folic acid folic acid intake in the mother prior to and during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of birth defects involving the brain and spinal cord the u s public health service recommends folic acid for all women of childbearing capacity studies have shown that if folic acid is begun at least four weeks prior to conception the risk of birth defects of the spinal cord and skull can be reduced by more than 70 in women with or even without a history of having infants with birth defects of the spinal cord or skull folic acid should be taken one month before conception and continued through the 12th week of pregnancy in fact continuing prenatal vitamins through pregnancy and even through nursing is probably wise these prenatal vitamins are available over the counter if a particular brand makes you feel nauseated simply switch to another brand or try taking the vitamin at night because of the risks of mercury poisoning and nervous system damage in the fetus from contaminated fish pregnant women are

question is a bit more complex than it might seem the first question is how did you take your daughter is temperature is it an oral temperature armpit ear forehead each of these methods produces a different normal temperature range for example we expect to see a temperature around 98 6 with an oral reading but an armpit temp will be lower than that a rectal or ear tympanic temperature may be higher than 98 6 secondly if you took your daughter is temperature orally did you do so shortly after she would had something cool or cold to drink if so this can lower the thermometer reading significantly an oral reading should be taken at least 20 minutes after eating or drinking anything try taking a second reading to see if the number changes if you are taking an oral reading be sure to do it properly have your daughter lift her tongue then place the tip of the thermometer well under your daughter is tongue up against the midline frenulum the tissue that divides the underside of the tongue have your daughter gently close her mouth while you hold onto the thermometer in order to keep the probe well seated under the tongue the thermometer should stay at about a 45 degree angle third are you sure the thermometer is accurate cleanse the thermometer and take someone else is temperature do you get a relatively accurate reading if your daughter is oral or rectal temperature really is 95 2 and she has other symptoms such as sluggishness paleness difficulty speaking or responding to your questions mental confusion then you should seek immediate medical attention it is not common but certain types of serious illnesses or infections can cause a drop in body temperature and since your daughter is just 5 years old you do not want to take any chances i hope this helps +when i wake up i feel stomach aches super hot muscle soreness headachesmigraines constant hacking and sweating,an earache from a cold can be a sharp dull or burning pain that can range from mild to very painful even if the trapped fluid in the ear is not infected the fluid puts pressure on the eardrum causing it to bulge and throb with an earache from a cold you or your child may have difficulty sleeping run a fever and have green or yellow mucus in the nose because colds are self limiting an earache with a cold usually goes away on its own still if you have an earache an ear infection may be likely which means you might need to see your doctor for a diagnosis and proper treatment while earaches can occur first with a cold virus sometimes a secondary ear infection may occur these ear infections are usually sudden in onset and extremely painful in the beginning that is because the sensory nerve endings in the eardrum respond to increased pressure with pain after the eardrum stretches a little the earache pain may ease up other symptoms of an earache from an ear infection may include the following loss of appetite this may be apparent in young children especially during bottle feedings pressure changes in the middle ear as the child swallows causing more pain irritability poor sleep pain may be more persistent when lying down as fluid is shifting fever ear infections can cause temperatures up to 104 degrees f vertigo you may have a sense of spinning drainage from the ear yellow brown or white fluid that is not earwax may seep from the ear indicating the eardrum has ruptured difficulty hearing fluid build up in the middle ear prevents the eardrum from functioning properly the sound is then unable to be transmitted to the bones of the middle ear and from there to the brain otitis media with effusion symptoms of acute otitis media will disappear but the fluid which is called an effusion may remain trapped fluid causes temporary and mild hearing loss +can i have root canal treatment for cracked molar,i have read through your complaint and the relevant details a cracked tooth can be root canal treated depending on the direction of the crack within the tooth especially if it involves the vital part of the tooth called the pulp the pulp is the vital part when it is inflamed or infected you get pain so in this case root canal treatment will help you get rid of the pain it is in this sequence that the treatment should have gone first root canal treatment then crown lengthening and then temporary crown followed by a permanent crown but the pain you experience at the moment seems to occur because of increased height in the temporary crown it can be corrected by shaping the portion of the crown which gets hit first when you bite the reason for the general pain is again the same one the decision of whether root canal treatment has to be done or not can be confirmed only with an x ray hence i am unable to say you without witnessing the x ray of the tooth i request you to send me the x rays if you have any it will help me give you a better answer revert with x rays to a dentist online > +if you have an orgasm during intercourse will that

an hour on the eliptical i have chronic leg cramps overnight especially in my right foot where i have hardware from a broken ankle occasionally the cramps turn into a searing moving pain that travels through the muscles making it impossible to stand and walk the cramps out it must be from dehydration after exercise although i do drink powerade zero throughout my workout and at least 15oz of water at night,my opinion it has to do with the fact that you just strenuously exercised the muscles in your legs and with going to bed right after you did not give your muscles proper time to relax with a

questions may help your health professional diagnose whether you have ocd 6 do you have repeated thoughts that cause anxiety and that you cannot get rid of no matter how hard you try do you wash your hands frequently or keep things extremely clean and neat do you excessively check things if your health professional suspects you have ocd he or she will look for a full range of symptoms that will confirm the diagnosis including 1 recurrent and persistent thoughts impulses or images that are intrusive and inappropriate cause anxiety or distress and are not simply excessive worries about real life issues attempts to suppress or ignore the thoughts or get rid of them with other thoughts or actions a recognition that the obsessions are created in your own mind and do not make sense repetitive behaviors such as hand washing ordering praying or checking that you are driven to do in response to the obsession the behaviors are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing a dreaded event for a diagnosis of ocd the obsessions or compulsions must be time consuming more than 1 hour a day or greatly interfere with your normal routine at work or school and affect social activities and relationships early detection early detection and proper treatment is very important in improving the course of ocd this disorder is often a long lasting chronic condition that will

in the colon or rectum usually grow very slowly it takes most of them years to become large enough to cause symptoms if the cancer is allowed to grow it eventually will invade and destroy nearby tissues and then spread farther colorectal cancer spreads first to nearby lymph nodes from there it may spread to other parts of the body usually the liver it may also spread to the lungs and less often to the bones and the brain the long term outcome or prognosis for colorectal cancer depends on how much the cancer has grown and spread experts talk about prognosis in terms of 5 year survival rates the 5 year survival rate means the percentage of people who are still alive 5 years or longer after their cancer was discovered it is important to remember that these are only averages everyone

ovulation and while she is having her period,it depends how long after actual ovulation if one knows the actual date of ovulation conception can occur up to 72 hours after ovulation as sperm can live inside the cervix for up to 72 hours under ideal conditions an oocyteegg has at least a 48 hour lifespan after ovulation as you may know the most likely time to conceive is about 14 days before the start of your next period so if one had a regular 28 day cycle ovulation is around day 14 a regular 34 day cycle will have an ovulation around day 20 if one has a regular 24 day cycle ovulation can be as early as cycle day 10 the problem arises among women who have periodsbleeds which are not linked to an ovulation these non ovulatory bleeds can occur randomly as the too thick lining of the uterus begins to shed on its own the woman in this case could have a bleed and then an ovulation anytime thereafter an even more risky scenario would be the women who mistakes bleeding associated with the release of an eggoocyte as a period in that case she could get pregnant from intercourse during her supposed period because she is actually at a very fertile time bottom line getting pregnant during a real period is unlikely especially if it has been 14 days since ovulation occurred if [there is a concern] do a reliable pregnancy test about two weeks after the date of intercourse a urine test should be reliable around the time of [the] expected period lastly if a woman is really scared about having an unplanned pregnancy the worry can cause her flow to be late a urine pregnancy test can

made to start getting pregnant although it may be advisable to wait for the first normal menstrual period after you stop taking your pills he says but this precaution is not essential some women conceive within a week or two after stopping birth control pills i advise women to complete the cycle so they do not have irregular bleeding he says in general the middle of the month is when ovulation and potentially conception are most likely to take place so the optimal fertile window is a couple of weeks after stopping contraception an important point to consider however is that if there has been a previous pregnancy or miscarriage wait about three months to give the body a chance to recover he says this is where a waiting period makes sense as far as other types of contraception the intrauterine device iud must be removed before a woman starts attempting to conceive he says couples can just stop using condoms when they are ready to conceive he adds +2nd degree

not a perfect study some of the research relies on people is recollections of what they ate and it is hard to draw any conclusions about whether there may be some benefit to a low saturated fat diet in older or higher risk populations but we can not ignore such a clear challenge to our way of thinking and hope that it just goes away we need more research more data and more open minds many are

the symptoms get too bad,when still working at the muhammad ali center about 10 years ago i asked one of my fellows dr holly shill to look at our pd population change from diagnosis to 25 years first thing i want you to notice is that 25 year range she found after looking at the unified parkinson is disease rating scale in more than 600 patients and 3 000 office visits several important things 1 diagnosis of pd usually occurred at a score of about 25 2 levodopa produced about a 12 point benefit a dopamine agonist about an 8 point benefit 3 patients with prominent tremor did better than patients with no tremor we did not look at gait specifically but we did look at disability which we defined as 12 hours of effort to get 8 hours of pay this had nothing to do with a need for a walker or wheelchair on average people reached this point or a score around 60 at an average of 12 2 years after diagnosis i am sorry i cannot give you an average duration to a need for assistance with walking but hope that 12 years to retirement is good news +why do i have what look like blood blisters on my vagina lips and near the anal area,several genes have now been definitively linked to parkinson is disease the first to be identified was alpha synuclein in the 1990s researchers at the national institutes of health nih and other institutions studied the genetic profiles of a large italian family and three greek families with familial parkinson is disease and found that their disease was related to a mutation in this gene they found a second alpha synuclein mutation in a german family with parkinson is disease these findings prompted studies of the role of alpha synuclein in parkinson is disease which led to the discovery that lewy bodies from people with the sporadic form of parkinson is disease contained clumps of alpha synuclein protein this discovery revealed a potential link between hereditary and sporadic forms of the disease researchers studying inherited parkinson is disease discovered that the disease in one large family was caused by a triplication of the normal alpha synuclein gene on one copy of chromosome 4 this triplication caused people in the affected family to produce too much of the normal alpha synuclein the study showed that an excess of the normal form of the protein could result in parkinson is disease just as the abnormal form does other genes linked to parkinson is disease include parkin dj 1 pink1 and lrrk2 parkin dj 1 and pink 1 cause rare early onset forms of parkinson is disease the parkin gene is translated into a protein that normally helps cells break down and recycle proteins dj 1 normally helps regulate gene activity and protect cells from oxidative stress pink1 codes for a protein active in mitochondria mutations in this gene appear to increase susceptibility to cellular stress lrrk2 which is translated into a protein called dardarin was originally identified in several english and basque families and causes a late onset form of parkinson is disease subsequent studies have identified this gene in other families with parkinson is disease as well as in a small percentage of people with apparently sporadic parkinson is disease researchers are continuing to investigate the normal functions and interactions of these genes in order to find clues about how parkinson is disease develops they also have identified a number of other genes and chromosome regions that may play a role in parkinson is disease but the nature of these links is not yet clear +my mom suffers wdiverticulitis & is afraid to eat

occurance and i need ansers,i am sorry you are dealing with this the issue of mrsa methicillin resistant streptococcus aureaus infection continues to grow as a public health concern as you have learned it can take multiple rounds of antibiotics to treat mrsa because only the infected spot on your nose is itching i doubt what you are experiencing is a side effect of medication i guess my point is it is impossible to say what is causing the itching and tingling without a physical examination if you are scheduled for follow up with your health care provider you are probably safe to take a wait and see approach with this as long as you do not develop a fever or additional symptoms increased rednessswellingheat at the infection site feeling like you are coming down with the flu that sort of thing if you do not already have a follow up appointment scheduled i would suggest making one you and your doctor want to be sure that infection is well and truly gone in the meantime be sure take precautions against spreading any possible remaining infection by washing your hands often and thoroughly not sharing towels or clothing that may have touched the infected spot and routinely disinfecting routinely touched surfaces by using antimicrobial wipes or something similar i hope this helps +i and my bf are virgins do we can get sti and we involve in smooch and breast sucking and

doxycycline vibramycin oracea adoxa atridox and others twice per day for seven days unlike gonorrhea there has been little if any resistance of chlamydia to currently used antibiotics there are many other antibiotics that also have been effective against chlamydia as with gonorrhea a condom or other protective barrier prevents the spread of the infection +i heard about a vitamin booster called iss t ibose does it give you energy when you are feeling tired and exhausted,i am unfamiliar with iss t ibose ribose is an organic compound found within our bodies and the foods we eat it is a simple

bacterial prostatitis that does not respond to long term antibiotic treatment and that causes repeated urinary tract infections surgery may be done to remove part of the prostate or to remove infected prostate stones prostatic calculi however this does not always cure the infection and it may make the symptoms worse surgery is generally done only if all other treatments have failed surgery choices surgical removal of part of the prostate to treat an infection that does not respond to antibiotic treatment or to remove prostate stones is called transurethral prostatectomy what to think about removing prostate stones may not cure prostatitis because the surgery may not remove the portion of the prostate containing the stones webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not

job security have recently generated news stories about an increase in men requesting vasectomies with this in mind i looked back at my own practice and spoke to a number of urologists for many it does seem that more men are requesting vasectomy this fits with what we know about past drops in childbirth rates during tough economic times when money is tight limiting family size is a common theme after all raising a child is not cheap i have seen an increase in both vasectomies and vasectomy reversals in my own practice over the past 6 months many of my patients are worried about the economy and how this will impact on their personal finances these concerns have made many couples rethink their own home situation as fears increase it appears that families are turning inwards some parents feel they are complete and so opt for permanent sterilization via vasectomy for others this introspection leads to a different conclusion some that have had a vasectomy realize that they do want more children and so move ahead with a vasectomy reversal +can i get shingles after having scarlet fever as a child my mother is 80 and has been iin a lot of pain the last few weeks with her hip now she

common cause of anemia this is because iron is major component of hemoglobin and is essential for its proper function chronic blood loss for any reason is the main cause of low iron levels in the body as it can deplete its iron stores to compensate for the ongoing loss of blood anemia that is due to low iron levels is called iron deficiency anemia women are more likely than men to have iron deficiency anemia because of the loss of blood each month through normal menstruation this is generally without any major symptoms as the blood loss is relatively small and temporary iron deficiency anemia can also be due to small repeated instances of blood loss for instance from colon cancer or from stomach ulcers stomach ulcer bleeding may be induced by medications even by very common over the counter drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen advil motrin in infants and young children iron deficiency anemia is most often due to a diet lacking in iron a doctor is interpretation of complete blood count cbc results may give clues to suggest this type of anemia for instance iron deficiency anemia usually occurs with low mean corpuscular volume microcytic anemia in addition to low hemoglobin +what is the difference between lovaza and the otc fish oil products,if tuberculosis have not done irreversible damage to the tube and endometrium inner lining of the uterus then pregnancy can happen either naturally or with treatment a simplest way to check these two things is one mid cycle ultrasound around day 13 or 14 of menses to see the uterine lining anything more than 8 mm to 9 mm should be reassuring and one tubal patency test like hsg hysterosalpingogram in case of damaged or blocked tubes ivf would be a better option in vitro fertilization as it will also reduce the chance of ectopic pregnancy for further information consult an infertility specialist online > +can any of the medications i take for my asthma cause harm to my baby,medicines all do very different things and all have their own side effects i would hope your doctor is not sending you the message that they are arbitrarily interchangeable he or she should be telling you the pros and cons of each what

triplets with in vetro trying to have one more so be careful +how do i find insurance that will cover pre existing conditions after losing employer health coverage,well it is hard to say a number of conditions could be causing the pain you describe unless you are running a fever you probably can safely take a watchful waiting approach to see if the situation improves if you begin to run a fever you definitely should seek medical attention lower right quadrant pain frequently is associated with appendicitis by the way appendicitis is considered a medical emergency so if you spike a fever and the pain gets worse you have won a ticket to the er however many other non emergency things could cause the pain you are describing for example a piece of hard stool could be stuck in the intestine temporarily this is a frequent cause of abdominal pain of all kinds in this case the stool eventually moves on and the pain goes away even a pocket of intestinal gas could cause the symptoms you describe as always my usual advice in any medical situation is this if things start moving toward worse instead of better see your health care provider meanwhile get a thermometer do not rely on whether or not you feel hot to the touch or anything of that sort monitor your temperature every four hours is fine and just keep close tabs on the situation chances are it will clear up on its own

hands feet arms or legs but can be felt anywhere the sensation is usually unpleasant most people have experienced paresthesia in the form of the pins and needles sensation that occurs when an arm or leg briefly “falls asleep ” the sensation is caused by sustained pressure placed on a nerve this kind of paresthesia is temporary and reversible paresthesias can also occur regularly when nerves experience ongoing or lasting damage some of the causes of chronic or persistent paresthesias include carpal tunnel syndrome meralgia paresthetica numbness over the outer thigh compression of a nerve in the spine radiculopathy restless legs syndrome shingles herpes zoster stroke or transient ischemic attack multiple sclerosis transverse myelitis the treatment for paresthesias depends on the cause if a reversible cause is present treating it should help improve the paresthesia symptoms for paresthesias that can not be cured medicines that act on nerves may be helpful for some people +i just had

with pregnancy please advise should i continue taking them or stop for now i am going back to us in 2 days thank you,taking folic acid is an important part of your pre natal care studies have shown its benefits in preventing birth defects always follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor with that said 5 mg daily of folic acid is within the normal suggested dosing parameters for a pregnant woman note pregnant women taking other prescription prenatal vitamins may already be receiving the recommended dosage of folic acid 400 micrograms 600 micrograms daily if you still have concerns it is suggested that you phone fax or email you doctor from spain for clarification you may also consider discussing your question with a physician in spain +red spots on penis which looks like tiny pimples i went to a dermat who recoed me some antibiotics and steriod creams mid march after these spot had subsided i noted that my shaft was blood red but very dry so again visited dermat and he said its nothing but allergy and gave me moisturiser some steroid cream now come mid april the red spots noted in mid feb are back again although much lesser this time i dnt have any other associated symptoms such as itching burning or pain during or without urination but im worried about why it is taking so long to heal,people often discuss the importance of care in selecting safe foods and beverages for consumption we recommend that foods be freshly cooked and be piping hot such foods are safer than those on a buffet that have been sitting out for hours water should be bottled and sealed or boiled alcohol is ok but ice cubes are not but sometimes people do everything they are supposed to do regarding the selection of food and beverages and still get sick often it is really the lack of sanitation within the food industry contamination may occur anywhere from when the food comes out of the ground to the preparer or the server food can be tainted at any point along that route so restaurant hygiene and food service worker hygiene may be out of the traveler is control but both play a role in whether disease is transmitted and sometimes it is the travelers who contaminate themselves remember try to clean your hands before eating whether with soap and water or a hand sanitizer and travelers should avoid touching their face mouth or mucous membranes with their hands +i have a white spot about the size of a large grain of rice in the back of my throat on my tonsil of the left side its a small white spot but it is very easy to see upon emamination i have just gotten over a cold that did start with a very sore throat but that was about a a week ago now there is only a spot on one side of my throat i am worried its some kind of infection i can touch the area with my tonge and it is much warmer on that side of my throat than the other side it is mildly irrated,the tonsils may have little holes or crypts in them that can trap food and other debris sometimes this debris can calcify and create a little stone like mass called a tonsilliths tonsil stone since i have no way of seeing your little white spot first hand it would not be possible for me or any medical provider to be able to give you an exact answer based solely on your brief description it is possible to have localized infections so since you are concerned it would be in your best interest to have your tonsils examined by a health care professional since you are just getting over a cold it is certainly possible that it is evidence of an infection on your tonsil one concern would be strep throat however if you have strep your throat is typically quite sore with fever and oftentimes swollen glands in the front of your neck if you feel fine otherwise strep throat is less likely however if it does not go away after a few days get your doctor to check it out another possibility is a tonsil stone however since you had a cold recently the above is more likely but here is more information about tonsil stones im not a doctor so dont take my word as gold but i get these little white spots on my tonsils too they irritate me like crazy one evening i had enough so i took a flash light and went into the bathroom and took my fingernail and poked at it and it popped out of the tonsil and it stopped bothering me i still get them a lot but i just go in there and get it out i

digestive disorder where your system is inflamed and irritated like irritable bowel syndrome it could be a food allergy those can appear at any time during life it could be a sensitivity such as to lactose or gluten it could also be some kind of stomach bug you picked up from a dirty surface or slightly spoiled food start by keeping a food diary write about what you eat and when your symptoms

have aneurysm of the left basilic vein doctor can perform an aneurysmectomy need second doctor opinion,most helpful answer yes moderate smoking is still harmful that is like asking how much poison should i take every day before it becomes harmful you are nearly a non smoker so why not just go all the way and stop completely stopping things that you enjoy are difficult i know but in the case of cigarettes there are really no safe limits secondary smoke and even third hand smoke has been found to be harmful so even a pack a week is going to cause problems over time clearly the more cigarettes that you smoke the worse your risk becomes while you are pleased to have cut down our 12 pack a day habit to a pack a week you need to do your body one more favor by stopping altogether you can do it i feel like smoking is not all that different from any other health issue too much fatty meats is bad for your cholesterol causing your arteries to clog then you get a heart attack then you die so now you have to stop eating the foods you like there is also the too much sugar or sodium gives you diabetes along with other diseasesdeficiencies also shortening your lifespan so now you cant have salty or sweet foods that you like so with my brilliant brain i came up with a conclusion and its not rocket science its common sens that a lot of you lack and this is that too much of everything is bad for you for one second forget about smoking being bad and think of this for example you go to the beach with your family you bring sunblock very common product to bring to the beach and to apply on yourself the purpose of this chemically engineered lotion or oil is to black uv rays from you getting badly burnt by them and to avoid you getting skin cancer so in your eyes its a good product wrong did you ever think of what long term effect this chemical product will do once it seeps in through your pores and into your body through the course of time of course not and the truth is that 100 of the products you buy and apply on your skin and consume are all not safe chemicals and are not grown or raised naturally so everything you use kills you i am a smoker and i like smoking i smoke a pack in 4 days making me a light smoker and i am very aware of what smoking does to your health but i feel that if i enjoy it and i dont abuse it cuz too much of anything is bad for you so i decided i should just smoke same goes for the fatty meats sweets and salty foods enjoy life dont put all these restrictions on yourself just have to remember not to push it its all about the right dosage +how are menstrual migraines treated,the short answer is no but this deserves a bit more discussion heartburn is a pain that you feel around mid chest and is caused by acid moving back up into the esophagus from the stomach this pain often will go away when you take an antacid product such as a chewable tablet like tums or rolaids or a liquid product like maalox despite its name heartburn does not involve the heart ischemia is a condition in which body tissue does not get enough oxygen usually due to decreased blood flow the term ischemia is often applied to the heart muscle but ischemia can happen to any muscle or even the brain when the heart suffers from ischemia it can trigger a pain response which is called angina this pain also occurs mid chest like heartburn so it can sometimes be tricky figuring out if chest pain is a result of stomach acid heartburn or ischemia the two conditions heartburn and ischemia have different underlying sources and are not related except in terms of causing pain in the chest i hope this helps +after sex all my fiancés come comes out of me when i stand up even happens after i rest is this normal it is really embarrassing i can lay down for an hour after sex then when i stand it will all come out we are getting married soon and i am worried if this is not normal we will not be able to fall pregnant please help ,hi i take it you mean faeces

should monitor closely sometimes itching can progress into a more severe allergic reaction some opioid pain relievers like vicodin can cause a release of histamine in the body this histamine release

people when they take opioid pain relievers you can take an antihistamine with the vicodin to see if that helps stop the itching i would recommend you speak to your care provider to see if you should stop the vicodin and take something else of course if you experience swelling of the face tongue or throat along with the itching you should seek emergency medical attention these can be symptoms of a life threatening allergic reaction itching is a not uncommon side effect from opioid pain relievers in my experience but keep an eye on your symptoms anyway wishing you well +what common medications

has an erectile dysfunction,although annual influenza injectable vaccination has long been recommended for people in the high risk groups many still do not receive the vaccine often because of their concern about side effects they mistakenly perceive influenza as merely a nuisance and believe that the vaccine causes unpleasant side effects or that it may even cause the flu the truth is that influenza vaccine causes no side effects in most people the most common and serious side effect that can occur after influenza vaccination is an allergic reaction in people who have a severe allergy to eggs since the viruses used in the vaccine are grown in hens eggs for this reason people who have an allergy to eggs should see an allergy specialist before receiving the influenza vaccine also the vaccine is not recommended while individuals have active infections or active diseases of the nervous system less than one third of those who receive the vaccine have some soreness at the vaccination site and about 5 to 10 experience mild side effects such as headache low grade fever or muscle cramps for about a day after vaccination these side effects are most likely to occur in children who have not been exposed to influenza virus in the past another type of influenza vaccine nasal spray is made with live attenuated altered influenza viruses this vaccine is made with live viruses that can stimulate the immune response enough to confer immunity but do not cause classic influenza symptoms in most instances the nasal spray vaccine flumist is only approved for healthy individuals ages 2 to 49 this nasal spray vaccine contains live attenuated virus less able to cause flu symptoms due to a designed inability to replicate at normal body temperatures this live vaccine could possibly cause the disease in infants and immunocompromised people and does not produce a strong immune response in many older people side effects of the nasal mist include nasal congestion sore throat and fever headaches muscle aches irritability and malaise have also been noted in most instances if side effects occur they only last a day or two this nasal spray has been produced for conventional flu viruses and should not be given to pregnant individuals or anyone who has a medical condition that may compromise the immune system because in some instances the flu is the side effect caregivers should read the vaccine precaution insert before giving any vaccine injectable or nasal as these inserts are occasionally updated +i am unemployed and my benefits are about to run out will i be eligible for

case of chickenpox can get shingles people who have a weak immune system are vulnerable to reactivation of the virus that causes shingles many factors can weaken your immune system including aging injury and illness some medicines slow down the immune system for example medicines that destroy cancer cells chemotherapy can interfere with the immune system transmission exposure to shingles will not cause you to get shingles but if you have not had chickenpox and have not gotten the chickenpox vaccine you can get chickenpox if you are exposed to shingles someone with shingles can expose you to chickenpox if you come into contact with the fluid in the shingles blisters if you cover the shingles sores with a type of dressing that absorbs fluid and protects the sores you can help prevent

evidence like ultrasound results pregnancy tests etc only she has the right to reveal it or not she may need some psychological help not trouble her for documentation to prove or disprove her story she has experienced a loss but perhaps the loss was her inability to ever have a child because of the hysterectomy this can be very very difficult for a woman who wanted a child so desperately that her mind may have created one i trust that you will approach this with sensitivity and understanding my heart goes out to all of you +i am swollen through the stomach neck and face i have no energy

currently unaware of but if you are running i would start off easy and for a short amount of time and then work up to a longer run if your chest continues to hurt take a break to lessen the pain and then gradually get back into the run it is what i do personally when i run since i get pain when i run as well and it seems to help me personally i know from experience because i went from me almost passing out 1 time and doing this i can run 15 minutes without stopping and i am able to do track without feeling like i am going to pass out my personal advice start in small amounts like 3 4 minutes then walk until your breathe is fully regained then start the 3 4 minutes until you feel like your running exercise is done then over weeks gradually up the time you run and less rest but stay safe while doing this it sounds like something like i have and i personally have a heart condition and this helped me although i am not a doctor this is just something i personally did and could possibly help you but i do hope this helps you have a good day +do you have any information about why a child female age does not wipe her butt when she poops,that is a difficult question to answer not knowing anything about this child addressing a child is hygiene habits or lack of is difficult some parents but important nonetheless especially if you are the one doing the laundry have a sit down talk about the importance of bathroom hygiene not just for cleanliness and odor but for medical reasons stool left on the skin will tend to burn if she already has irritated skin this could be the reason she does not want to wipe now give her some hydrocortisone ointment andor a good barrier cream used for diaper rashes to soothe these sore areas she is old enough to help with the laundry so it may be wise to have her wash her own underwear pointing out that if she wiped better they would be easier to clean buy her some new undies some really nice ones but only give them to her when this behavioral problem has been finally solved be persistent in your efforts but do not punish often it is best to reward for good or expected behaviors than to overly punish or embarrass a child for unacceptable

are safe to take during pregnancy,pregnancy is always a tough one and the one thing i can tell you is that the recommendations are usually for lifestyle modification pregnant women should modify their diet i know it is hard because they want to have certain foods usually spicy but they need to cut down on these particular items they need to really eliminate caffeine from their diet as well this will really help with the heartburn problem if needed their obgyn may recommend a calcium tablet like a tums which they can chew during the day but they want to be careful for the amount that they chew because there are calcium limits in pregnant women antacids that contain sodium bicarbonate should not be taken by pregnant women because they can lead to fluid retention some doctors recommend

this means it kills off many types of bacteria in the body both good and bad your body contains many good bacteria these microorganisms aid in functions like digestion when amoxicillin kills off these helpful bacteria you might experience side effects like diarrhea eventually your body should repopulate its good bacteria on its own but you can help that process by consuming a probiotic you can either eat yogurt or another product with active cultures or you can take probiotic capsules these supplements contain active bacteria that can take the place of the ones eliminated by the amoxicillin taking a probiotic also may make you less likely to experience the unpleasant side effects of antibiotic therapy such as stomach upset or vaginal yeast infections of course you should not take a probiotic including yogurt if you are allergic to any of its ingredients wishing you well +can a guy get sick from performing unprotected oral sex on his partner i am a 15 yr old male and my partner

steroids for your lungs and you do not actually have copd that is not a good thing they put my grandmother on prednisone which is a steroid anyway steroids like this can become an issue for you especially if you do not need them because your body becomes dependent on it oxygen is also something that your body will become dependent on if they put you on a portable oxygen machine or if they had you put one in your home and you use it constantly your lungs will become dependent on that extra oxygen and after so long your body will not be able to go without it this happened to both of my

questions i have for this patient is how long have they been taking gaviscon gaviscon is an antacid and to be honest it should only be used for about two weeks if you are using it longer than that then it is time to probably see your doctor or healthcare provider to have it looked at common side effects of antacids of long term use are constipation and diarrhea they also bind to certain medications and vitamins so you want to make sure that you are spacing them if you have any questions at all come to talk to the pharmacist tell us what medications you are taking we will be able to

followed really worried i am a 1st time mom to be pls help anyone experience this tnx,because you vomited after taking the azithromycin i would suggest you contact the health care provider who prescribed it to let them know this can signal an allergic reaction but it could also have happened simply because you were nervous about taking the antibiotic let me reassure you that your doctor would not have prescribed azithromycin knowing you were pregnant unless he or she thought it was safe for you that said i would definitely suggest you get in touch with your doctor to discuss your concerns the vomiting and diarrhea and see if he or she can prescribe something else for you i also invite you to participate in webmd is pregnancy community where you can connect with experts and other moms to be wishing you and your baby all the best +i am having pain in a very specific part of my head for 1 year seeing blue flash,the selection of a surgeon is really a complicated and somewhat daunting process today for many reasons first of all medicine is becoming more and more specialized there are more and more subdivisions within given specialties and within those subdivisions there even further subdivisions so you have to not only be in the right church you have to be in the right pew you want to be in the right place compounding it is the fact that there is a little bit of blurring of specialty lines one is not prohibited by law from migrating from one is specialty into one of the 4 cosmetic surgery specialties basically there are 4 recognized specialties that perform cosmetic surgery plastic surgery which is cosmetic surgery all over the body head and neck surgeons who perform the cosmetic surgery only of the face and neck dermatologists who perform skin peeling and other and liposuction and again procedures on the skin and then ophthalmologists these are eye specialists who further specialize just in the reconstructive and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids so you have a lot of different participants in the delivery system and the question is how do you pick which one and that is where you have got to do some homework not every ophthalmologist for example has had additional training to be an excellent eyelid cosmetic surgeon and not every dermatologist has had the additional training or experience to be a world class chemical skin peeler to remove wrinkles not every plastic surgeon is good at both breast augmentation and nose jobs which are operations in two different arenas so you have got to be armed with questions so that you can ferret out who really is most appropriate and the answer comes with how specialized are you doctor now in the world of cosmetic surgery if you have a choice between a plastic surgeon an ophthalmologist a dermatologist or a head and neck surgeon you need to find out what each of those doctors majors in for example head and neck surgeon may major in nose jobs and do more nose jobs than say face lifts or eyelid surgery on the other hand across the street is an ophthalmologist that does eyelid surgery exclusively so if you needed to have an eyelid surgery example you would be very well served by going to that eye surgeon who only does eyelids maybe by some of the other doctors but you would feel more comfortable being in the hands of the most specialized so how do you ascertain that you ask the doctor is training and then you ask what i think is probably the key question that most people do not ask did you have a fellowship in cosmetic surgery fellowships are the finishing school of the world of cosmetic surgery and by the way fellowships exist in other specialties the fellowship is the practical training in a very narrow sphere of cosmetic surgery because cosmetic surgery is really a well +my period was to be last may 22 but untill now i havent had for this month i take p test but its negative am i pregnant my period for the month of april was 22 to 25 and i

through this foot pain can make it unbearably hard to get around your case study is very interesting i have never heard of foot pain related to heart issues but since you have been through this before

situation with luck this symptom will not turn out to be related to your heart but if it is at least you will have caught it early all the best to you +i have urination issues i just finish going and

fell experienced excruciating knee pain when attempted to kneel 8 days later xrays were normal help,my short answer to your question is this any time you have got a lump on the head and you are worried about it it is ok to go see the doctor a major point i want to make is this never ever take a blood thinning pain reliever such as advil ibuprofen also goes by the name motrin aspirin brand names excedrin bufferin anacin etc or naproxyn brand names alleve naprosyn after hitting your head these medications can cause bleeding which could turn a not so serious injury into a very serious injury i am glad your husband seems to be doing fine and it is always better for the swelling to be on the outside of the skull than the inside however if your husband has dilated pupils the black dots at the center of his eyeball slurred speech or loss of balance you should take him to the doctor right away these can be signs of a more serious head injury with a bruise the size you are describing it is likely your husband has suffered a concussion these may range from mild to severe again if you have any concerns about the extent of his head injury your safest bet is always to seek medical attention since it is been more than 24 hours since the accident you do not need to rush to the emergency room but you definitely can get evaluated at an urgent care facility or ask your primary care provider to work your husband in for an appointment soon best wishes to you +what is your illness if you have a swollen eye trowing up blood and have 100 5 fever the eye is brownish in

hand smoke has also been associated with heart disease in adults and ear infections asthma sudden death syndrome in children •2nd hand smoke has no safe exposure level i am not an expert on building structures or their air circulation systems and do not have technical details of your building is air circulation system with that said i will provide my understanding of the air quality in many office buildings occupied today and referred to as sick buildings these buildings may have poor air exchange systems filtering systems that are inadequate in size not adequately cleaned or otherwise properly maintained my own anecdotal accounting is that many of these types of building almost never receive fresh air as windows are only for the aesthetic purpose of providing natural light the windows are sometimes permanently fixed shut in effect the building occupants may be continually breathing the same polluted air irritations of the eyes ears and throats are frequent complaints of these building occupants due in part to chemical and environmental containments from indoor and outdoor sources in summary •2nd hand smoke is dangerous it can cause cancer and other chronic health problems •many office buildings today circulate unhealthy air • my conclusion is that your health problems at least in part may be due to the effects of 2nd hand smoke being breathed in while working

my stool is hard it cause rectal bleed when i have my bowel movement other part of stool is soft i eat lots of fiber and drink lots of fluid i have bowel movement every day this bleeding comes and go i went to my doctor and she gave me suppository but it didnt help alot the bleeding is come and go its only when the tip of my stool is hard then it cuse bleeding again,sorry to hear you are going through this from your description it sounds like you are experiencing moderate constipation that is causing a hemorrhoid to flare up occasionally a hemorrhoid is a swollen vein in the rectum a hard piece of stool can basically scratch this swollen vein and cause it to bleed slightly frequently hemorrhoids also feel itchy and painful perhaps this is why your doctor gave you a suppository to try suppositories often are prescribed to treat the symptoms of hemorrhoids it sounds like you are doing everything right in terms of eating a high fiber diet and drinking plenty of fluids because only the tip of your stool is hard it makes me think maybe you are not noticing the urge to have a bowel movement and are holding stool in your rectum too long even though you are having a bowel movement every day you might try going to the bathroom a bit more frequently to see if you perhaps need to have a bowel movement but just are not feeling the sensation to go however do not strain needlessly in an attempt to force a bowel movement that will just make any hemorrhoid situation worse as long as you are not allergic to any medications you also might try an over the counter hemorrhoid medication

currently i have at least three bm is a day and yes this hard piece is scraping against my hemorrhoid and causing pain and sometimes a little bleeding i would think the answer might lie in what we are

the explanon birth control and sex immediately after am i protected from pregnancy i got the nexplanon implanted in my arm on the 5th or 6th day of my menstral cycle i was told by my doctor that

up until i read the pamphlet they sent home with me that clearly states to abstain from sex for 1 2 weeks any possible outcome of pregnancy,hi any info on this implant seems to be about the implant it self and what to do if it goes wrong and some small bits just like the bc pill using condoms for the first 7 days as a backup all you can do is wait and see just hope things will be ok if you was on

imbalance how can i get pregnant with a hormone imbalance i have stopped taking the birth control pills because i want to get pregnant however i am having my period every two weeks now,hi this a piece of info i extracted from a piece about two periods a month ok the info come from ivillage another reasons for twice a month periods is abnormal thickening of the uterine lining this thickening can be due to hormonal imbalance or to taking estrogen without a progesterone medication as well estrogen causes the uterine lining to proliferate and become thick and lush while progesterone thins out the lining a balance between these two hormones is necessary to ensure regular moderate periods so it may not be as easy as i write but if you get a hormone test done from this it would tell you which hormone is out of whack it then would be to get them back on track by adjusting them in my mind it should work try seeing an obstetrician perhaps heshe will understand this and make it work they must have seen it before do hope this helps you good luck +is it normal to have a large area of skin discoloration and atrophy after a cortisone injection,both localized atrophy of the subcutaneous tissues

much as he did last year which is worrying me is this normal,the height that a person achieves is primarily genetically determined every normally healthy person will stop growing at some point some as early as 14 usually girls and some in later teen years usually boys the only way to know if growth has stopped is to see an endocrinologist and have an x ray exam to check the status of his growth

is to be expected now the fever is gone and he is still miserable we returned to the md to see if he had something going on like & ear infection & were told he is fine before this he was my happy little guy &now he is miserable and fussy no matter what we do,finding the reason or reasons why a child is fussy is always a clinical challenge it could be teething remember that you can treat the misery with ibuprofen he does not have to have a fever to use it if his mood improves after a dose of ibuprofen you may have fixed the problem children get tummy aches headaches backaches or get in

lifting and the bar came down wrong and my wrist popped it hurt a whole lot for a couple days then it went away that is until i lift something even a gallon of milk it hurts the same area as original injury my coaches said it was a sprain yet its been three weeks and still hurts if i lift anything my question is is there something more serious to blame other than a sprain,the history of hearing a pop indicates a soft tissue rupture tendon or ligament and this should not be taken lightly if there is a complete tear the healing will not be complete and surgery would be needed to have ful limb function it would be recommended that you consult with your doctor and get a mri which would help make a proper assessment of your injury and based on that future mode of management can be determined

with my wife i have a cyst condition which i have been taking an antibiotic for prescribed by my doctor,for a simple penile yeast infection balanitis you can have sex now if you use a condom and your sore penis is up to it otherwise wait until you are symptom free i have no idea what you mean by a cyst condition and which antibiotic you are taking and for why so i would suggest you call your doctor for patient specific advice someone who knows the details of your case if you do have sex while you are still experiencing a yeast infection make sure that you use a condom however it is often best to try to wait until the yeast infection is gone just to reduce the risk of spreading it it also can sometimes be a little sore on the penis when the yeast infection is in full power make sure you maintain proper overall penis health by using a quality penis nutrient cream health professionals recommend man1 man oil look for one that includes a superior antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid good luck you could always use a condom but if not wait a few weeks for sure it would not be a bad idea to use an antibacterial penis health creme too i use one called man1 man oil just to be sure things are nice and clean down there because as we all know condoms are always a good idea until you are in the moment hope this helps and good luck +is counting calories the way to lose weight,if you can keep it up counting calories is a pretty good way to lose weight it can be tough for some people to stick to over time however one of the things i like about counting calories is it makes you more aware of portion sizes then even if you stop counting calories you have a better idea of what a normal portion size is portion size is one of our biggest enemies today when it comes to weight control a thousand calories a day may be a bit on the low side generally we do not recommend people go below 1 200 calories per day because that may not give you the energy you need to get throughout the day exercise is such an important part of any weight loss plan and it could be tough getting through a normal day and exercising when you are consuming so few calories you also run the risk of not getting enough of the daily vitamins and minerals you need make sure you are eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and lean proteins lean meat chicken low fat dairy or beans to get the nutrients you need each day +can a cold develop into the flu,the cold and the flu are caused by different viruses so a cold can not turn into the flu but there is nothing stopping you from getting a cold and the flu at the same time or a few days later you catch a cold and the flu in very similar ways – being around someone who is sick or touching something like a phone or door knob that someone touched and contaminated with a virus the cold is generally a mild infection that lasts for four to five days and gets better on its own sometimes you may feel sicker after a few days if the cold leads to a sinus infection or bronchitis the flu is worse and hits you like a ton of bricks one minute you feel fine and a few hours later it hurts to get out of bed the flu usually resolves on its own after a week or so but can also lead to a sinus infection or bronchitis and unusually even pneumonia neither the cold not the flu typically has nausea or other stomach problems if you have those symptoms there is a good chance you have another type of infection or something else the best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine but you also need to wash your hands often to help prevent spreading the cold or flu to yourself +i am sunburned on various areas of my body taken benadryl with no results yet,hi suggest you get her to a doctor get some blood tests done to check her hormones she could be

exercise it likely is not sustainable so i suggest she focused on doing something she enjoys if your wife did not exercise at all before it is possible she is gaining some muscle mass and losing fat

pregnant from precum the day after her period then taking the morning after pill i had sex with my gf twice this weekend once on sat night and once sun morning i did not use a condom nor did i cum inside of her she just got off her period the day before we had sex i was worried so i had her take the morning after pill she also took the morning after pill last month for the same incident should she be ok not getting pregnant since i didnt cum inside her and she took the pill,use a condom for goodness sake stop playing sexual roulette with your girlfriend you may be fine this time i do not know but it is only a matter of time before she will become pregnant maybe next time viable sperm can be present in seminal fluid and that sperm can remain alive for a week or so while a woman can only become pregnant a few days a month sperm do not understand that many will just wait around hoping that an egg ovum will appear you will sleep better if you keep all of your penile emissions the seminal fluid and your ejaculations well contained in a condom and since you and your girlfriend are clearly having regular sex she could benefit from using an effective form of contraception as well

ended on friday then it is highly unlikely that she will become pregnant day after pill or not sperm can live for 24 72 hours in the female body most will die off en route searching for an egg however it only takes one egg and one sperm a woman is cycle works like this period starts and triggers a turn of events the lh phase is the phase when her body is not fertile typically 10 16 days from the day the period starts depending on her specific cycle then the fertile days come in to play for about 4 5 days her body will be in a fertile state but typically it is the last two days of this particular cycle when she is most ready to get pregnant once this phase is over her body prepares to have another period to shed the lining that has built up to accept the pregnancy i would suggest getting an app on her phone that tracks her cycle and her most fertile times of the month mostly because i do not see you two using a condom or birth control no matter how many people tell you that you should at least this way you two will have a better understanding of where her body is at and when its at that point to try and keep from getting pregnant it can take about three months to get the app lined up with her cycle to track the days with the most accuracy please keep in mind that this is for a woman with a normal cycle however even with an abnormal cycle it is highly unlikely to get pregnant within a few days of ending a period this +what happens to someone when they get obsessive compulsive disorder ocd,with obsessive compulsive disorder ocd you develop disturbing obsessive

during exercise,because a tampon in the vagina also exerts pressure on the urethra the tube where urine passes out of the body it can act as a kind of “stopper ” this may help control leaks drips and

medical center in new york city warns not to make a habit of it and says to remove the tampon as soon as you are done working out a tampon inside a dry vagina he says can cause significant irritation

bottle of ipecac on the shelf in case junior ingested something poisonous ipecac will reliably cause vomiting about 20 30 minutes after it is given so the idea was that you could at least get your child to vomit back the poison we know now that advice to keep ipecac handy and use it after poisonous ingestions was wrong though it does cause vomiting that 20 30 minute lag in effectiveness means that in many cases the poison has already been absorbed or has at least traveled beyond the stomach so it can not be brought back up some ingested things cause as much damage on the way out as when they were eaten and vomiting them will only make things worse most importantly drinking ipecac will prevent emergency physicians from being able to use truly effective treatments for ingestion such as activated charcoal or medical antidotes there are current no situations where national poison control centers advice the use of ipecac and the american academy of pediatrics does not recommend parents keep ipecac in their house if you think someone has ingested something poisonous your best next step is to call the nationwide poison control center at 1 800 222 1222 in the us try to have the most important information available to discuss what was ingested when was it ingested who took it and how much was ingested they will tell you what steps to take whether you need to go to the er or what to monitor at home +husband of 19 years has genital herpes would this lay dormant for that long would doctor just be casual about it would he not know for 19 years ,hi yes in can hid for years unless

support the knee the good thing is it does not take hours and all of them can be performed at home 1 sit to stands starting position sitting with both feet flat and her walker in front of her exercise slowly and with control come to a standing position finish position slowly and with control return to the seated position important safety and progression points 1 in the beginning let her use both arms to push up 2 as she gets stronger and can perform 10 repetitions with little effort have her only use one arm to push up after that progress to using no arm movement to come to standing 3 once that becomes easy switch chairs chairs that are lower to the ground are much more difficult to get out off however when you do this allow her to push off with both arms and progress her through just like you did before 4 also if loss of balance or dizziness upon standing is a problem make sure someone is standing next to her when she is performing this exercise 5 start slowly begin with just 3 repetitions and progress to 10 2 knee extension starting position sitting up straight in a chair with both feet flat and a leg weight attached to the ankle exercise slowly and with control straighten the leg like you were going to kick a ball finish position slowly lower to the floor and repeat for a total of 10 times switch the ankle weight to the other side and repeat important safety and

chair with both feet flat on the floor and the leg weight from the previous exercise lying on the thigh exercise lift the leg up towards you keeping the knee bent slowly lower and repeat for a total of 10 switch the weight to the other side and repeat just performing 1 set of 10 repetitions of each of these exercises can make a big difference in her strength and mobility however it is important that as she gets stronger that you increase the resistance lower chair or a heavier weight these exercises should challenge her but not exhaust her the key is to start small and build from there as with any new exercise program make sure its ok with her doctor before beginning +how do i treat a burn,first err on the side of caution always see a medical professional for any burn that is not obviously minor that generally includes any burn that • is large • involves the hands feet face groin or major joints • causes severe pain or loss of sensation • causes skin changes besides simple redness such as blistering • causes skin redness that does not blanch white when pressed immediately after a burn run cool tap water over the skin for 10 minutes then cool the skin with a moist compress do not put ice butter or anything else directly on the burned skin clean the skin gently with mild soap and tap water take acetaminophen tylenol or ibuprofen motrin aleve for pain simple

added articles to point me in the right direction,there are certainly many different paths that you can take to eat healthy and there is honestly no one right approach with that said i personally am weary about any diet that is heavily focused on one central theme or ideology i do not think that it is always good to promote only one certain food or completely omit certain food groups altogether we know that some foods are generally better than others but there is still a lot left to learn also a healthy diet should be based on a lifestyle change not something that you follow short term just to promote a certain result a healthy diet is one that you can sustain long term and that does not leave you feeling hungry or feeling deprived so overly restrictive diets are not the answer either

area how do i protect my groin from this,i am an avid biker and there are many solutions that translate from actual road biking to stationary biking first start off by wearing proper clothing yes a good pair or two of biking shorts with padding are just as beneficial on a stationary bike as well as the ones that move also make sure that you clean your shorts after each ride since residual bacteria can cause irritation yes biking shorts are expensive but a couple of good pair makes a huge difference make sure you have a good fitting seat now if you are a health club you cannot change it but if this a home stationary bike you can change the seat not all seats are made the same and since a seat might be large and comfy it does not always translate into being good for reducing chaffing as far as creams or ointments this is where you may have to experiment using petroleum jelly is fine but i would add some shea butter to the mix some people use k y jelly instead and of course there are tons of commercial products like brave soldier which i have used changing riding positions also helps simple changing your lateral position on the seat every now and then you can reduce continuos

heavily focused on one central theme or ideology i do not think that it is always good to promote only one certain food or completely omit certain food groups altogether we know that some foods are generally better than others but there is still a lot left to learn also a healthy diet should be based on a lifestyle change not something that you follow short term just to promote a certain result a healthy diet is one that you can sustain long term and that does not leave you feeling hungry or feeling deprived so overly restrictive diets are not the answer either lastly a healthy diet is evidence based and not something formulated on personal claims or anecdotes a diet that promises you everything is probably too good to be true if you are looking for more specific examples this site

often anyone is guess as to what ultimately causes dementia in a given person what about sleep habits well it turns out that we may have clues now to a link between the development of dementia and a sleep disorder known as rapid eye movement rem sleep behavior disorder let is call it rbd for short the facts * with rbd the paralysis that normally occurs during rem sleep is incomplete or absent allowing you to “act out” your dreams translation you are not experiencing typical rem sleep that keeps you in a normal cycle of sleep * these dreams are often vivid and violent compelling you to talk punch kick scream and even jump out of bed translation you are not getting the restful sleep you need * rbd is usually seen in middle aged to elderly people and more often in men the researchers of this latest study found that 63 percent of people who experienced rbd developed dementia with lewy bodies or parkinson is disease in later life in some cases the disorder was detected up to 50 years before the neurodegenerative condition developed it is not too surprising that rbd is also linked to parkinson is as 30 to 60 percent of people with parkinson is disease develop dementia fyi lewy body dementia is a rare form of dementia whereby small round clumps of normal proteins called lewy bodies named after their discoverer become abnormally clumped together inside brain cells whether the lewy bodies directly cause gradual damage to the brain cells impairing their function and eventually killing them or are only a marker of some other destructive process is not known scary we have already seen that sleep loss causes brain loss and when you look at the risk factors for dementia — eating a healthy diet engaging in regular exercise — both of which have been shown to reduce the risk of developing dementia by up to 60 percent is there any surprise that getting a good night is sleep is just as important clearly we need more studies done to help us understand the associations between sleep habits and our risk for illness later in life we also need more information on associations that go beyond just rare sleep disorders like rbd the statistics are far too breathtaking * one in three people over 65 will die with dementia * twenty percent of us do not get enough sleep — banking less than 6 hours of sleep on average * heart disease diabetes and obesity have all been linked

unprotected sex about 3 to 4 days before it takes our sperm 3 days to get in place and can live for 7 days ok so far then now if around day 21 she gets spotting then there is a good chance she is

enough oxygen to the brain i feel dizzy and have blurred vision often this does not help since i have an ef of 30 40 thank you,i am sorry you are going through this i think the reason your care providers are not intervening is because your hemoglobin count is rising naturally it has progressed from 10 to 11 7 it may not be rising as quickly as you would like but it is a good sign that the level is coming up on its own as you probably know hemoglobin is the protein on red blood cells that transports oxygen i am assuming you are referring to your hemoglobin number because that is the blood test that most closely fits the reference range of 13 to 18 you are referring to when hemoglobin levels are low we call it anemia technically you are anemic you can not increase your blood volume but you can take steps to help the anemia clear up more quickly eating iron rich foods and fruits that contain vitamin c may help however you should check with your doctor first because excessive iron consumption can hinder the action of some medications specifically green leafy vegetables like spinach should not be eaten if you are taking warfarin coumadin also you must not take iron supplements with antacids and treatment for ulcers frequently involves taking antacids in fact just to be clear i never recommend anyone take an iron supplement without a doctor is supervision it

anxiety and depression issues for years and a few months ago i had to quite taking my abilify cause i could not afford it so im just taking effexor instead of both ive had a lot of stress lately and bad attacks but when i was on both meds i was fine my attacks can last for a few hours i go to sleep fine and wake up fine then im back to havimg these attacks could it because im not taking both meds together anymore ,it is wholly possible that this is related to you stopping the abilify especially since you seem to have been fine when on both it is also possible that your depressionbipolar disorder has simply gotten worse but i think that would be rather unlikely since your sleeping habits are unchanged as for how long the attacks last it is not unheard of for them to last from a few minutes to upwards of a few hours it depends on what triggers them how severe the attack is and your individual reaction to them i can attest from personal experience from seeing a friend and having one myself there are the traditional things you can do for yourself to make the attacks more manageable avoiding triggers being properly rested breathing exercises etc and if that does not help maybe your doctor could recommend new medications such as a generic less expensive form of abilify if there is one +i got my flu shot can i still spread the virus against which i am immunized by sneezing

take now any recommendations,there actually are a few recommendations that could be used for a nasal decongestant in a pregnant woman who has a stuffy nose saline solutions are fine to use they come in a variety of forms including a nasal gel that they could apply inside their nose it will help loosen up the mucous and therefore it is easier to breathe also doing things like running a vaporizer or humidifier during the day humidifier is fine at night a vaporizer has a medicine cup in it you can put in things like vicks vaposteam inside of it it will create this nice menthol air and that actually will help you breathe a little better at night you could use a little bit of vicks vaporub rubbed on the chest it is okay to use and that will also create that vapor effect but other than

on the cardio machines and it really ought to be eliminated the idea behind the fat burning option is this because fat is denser than carbohydrate it requires more oxygen to burn so to maximize the percentage of fat you burn compared to carbohydrate the fat burning mode would have you work out at a pace at which your body can deliver lots of oxygen to your muscles that generally means a slow pace to keep you from getting breathless the problem is that when you exercise at a slower speed you burn fewer total calories from both carbohydrate and fat because you simply do not do as much work further the way to get aerobically fit is to get your heart rate into the training range usually 60 to 85 of your maximum heart rate which is hard to do at slower speeds and fitness is ultimately what you are after whether your goals are better health burning calories or improving heart and lung capacity the bottom line is that the fat burning mode probably will not be intense enough to maximize total calorie or fat burning or to help you increase or maintain optimum fitness levels use the cardio mode to maximize your exercise benefits using the fat burning mode on exercise machines at the gym actually is not the best way to burn fat the key concepts to understand here are the percentage of calories that come from fat and total calories the fat burning mode is typically set at lower exercise intensity where more calories burned come from fat not as many calories burned during higher exercise intensity will come from fat the point to understand though is that while more of the calories that you burn will come from fat at a lower exercise intensity you have the potential to burn more calories per session doing higher exercise intensity the percentage of calories burned from fat will be lower during the higher exercise intensity but you will be burning more calories overall including the amount of calories from fat also higher exercise intensity leads to a greater boost in metabolism even after you are done exercising which burns additional calories it is best to do exercise that you are comfortable with and that meets your level of trainingconditioning in general however increasing the time spent on exercise and increasing exercise intensity will provide a greater potential to burn more calories and lose weight +what is in or surrounds the breast and wraps

use but one negative test does not vindicate him you may have to randomly test him from time to time to be sure and make sure he is observed getting the specimen many teens have some tricks +are there special risks associated with epilepsy,although most people with epilepsy lead full active lives they are at special risk for two life threatening conditions status epilepticus and sudden unexplained death status epilepticus status epilepticus is a potentially life threatening condition in which a person either has an abnormally prolonged seizure or does not fully regain consciousness between seizures although there is no strict definition for the time at which a seizure turns into status epilepticus most people agree that any seizure lasting longer than 5 minutes should for practical purposes be treated as though it was status epilepticus status epilepticus affects about 195 000 people each year in the united states and results in about 42 000 deaths while people with epilepsy are at an increased risk for status epilepticus about 60 percent of people who develop this condition have no previous seizure history these cases often result from tumors trauma or other problems that affect the brain and may themselves be life threatening while most seizures do not require emergency medical treatment someone with a prolonged seizure lasting more than 5 minutes may be in status epilepticus and should be taken to an emergency room immediately it is important to treat a person with status epilepticus as soon as possible one study showed that 80 percent of people in status epilepticus who received medication within 30 minutes of seizure onset eventually stopped having seizures whereas only 40 percent recovered if 2 hours had passed before they received medication doctors in a hospital setting can treat status epilepticus with several different drugs and can undertake emergency life saving measures such as administering oxygen if necessary people in status epilepticus do not always have severe convulsive seizures instead they may have repeated or prolonged nonconvulsive seizures this type of status epilepticus may appear as a sustained episode of confusion or agitation in someone who does not ordinarily have that kind of mental impairment while this type of episode may not seem as severe as convulsive status epilepticus it should still be treated as an emergency sudden unexplained death for reasons that are poorly understood people with epilepsy have an increased risk of dying suddenly for no discernible reason this condition called sudden unexplained death can occur in people without epilepsy but epilepsy increases the risk about two fold researchers are still unsure why sudden unexplained death occurs one study suggested that use of more than two anticonvulsant drugs may be a risk factor however it is not clear whether the use of multiple drugs causes the sudden death or whether people +i am donatin an egg its going to be

heperin affect my bladder muscles in hospital 1 5 days subject to four or five heperin injections in abdomen urination painfuldifficult now,most helpful answer i am sorry to hear you are going through this it sounds distressing i have never heard of heparin causing side effects with urination but that does not mean it is impossible heparin can cause abdominal pain and so it is possible the symptoms you describe could be related to the medication you do not say how long ago you were discharged from the hospital or why you were there to begin with i want to point out many things other than heparin could cause the symptoms you describe for example if you had a foley catheter inserted to drain urine from your bladder this can be a source of painful urination for a while after it is removed

behind the eardrum in a space called the “middle ear ” the medical term for this is “otitis media ” sometimes called “acute otitis media” to stress that it begins suddenly acute otitis media almost always occurs after a child has had nasal congestion for a few days most typically from a cold if your child complains of ear pain and has not been congested it probably is not an ear infection even if your child really does have an ear infection you do not necessarily have to rush to have it checked an antibiotic is not thefirst thing he needs in fact it may not be necessary at all so what should parents do about a weekend or middle of the night earache if the child looks miserable and sick he really should be seen right away if the pain is more mild or moderate give him a dose of pain medicine like ibuprofen or have him hold a warm heating pad against the ear if the pain subsides with these simple measures an emergency trip to the doctor or er is not necessary what happens if you delay starting antibiotics for an ear infection as long as the child is not super miserable it is ok to wait a bit ear infections it turns out usually go away on their own waiting a day or two if your child is reasonably comfortable is a good way to avoid extra costs hassle and antibiotics note that this advice is meant for children older than two who can speak and describe what they are feeling if

determin if i need to go to the hospital i do not know what caused this i woke up at 3am with them when i stood up for too long i would get really dizzy and faint feeling i have them from my mead down to my toes and everything in between,green stool or poop is a common stool color change it may be due to bile pigment in the stool because diarrhea moves food too quickly thorough the intestine so the chemical can not break down or the green color may be due to certain foods like green leafy vegetables or green food coloring but if it accompanied with nausea or increased diahrrea then it is likely

ask is whether your pregnancy is likely to be normal and uncomplicated or complicated and high risk if you have high blood pressure diabetes or a history of previous pregnancy complications are younger than 18 or 35 and older you should seek care from a health care provider experienced in treating women with your type of medical condition such as an obgyn or perinatologist if you are at low risk for complications your family practitioner or a nurse midwife may be right for you once you decide the type of provider that best suits your needs you will need to select one person in particular you may want to schedule an introductory visit to meet with the health care provider you are considering and determine if you feel comfortable with him or her here are some questions to ask during your meeting how long have you been in practice when and where did you receive training are you board certified do you have professional or patient references have you had any problems with your medical practice to get this information contact your state medical licensing board what are your general philosophies about pregnancy labor and delivery think about how they fit in with your own beliefs how many babies do you deliver per week how many children do you have are you in a group practice if so will i see every provider with whom you rotate during my doctor visits do i have a choice about whom i see and who delivers my baby note if you choose a health care provider who belongs to a group practice usually all the members of the group will see you during your pregnancy and one of them will be there for the delivery who will i see at each appointment will you be in town around my due date note that there are no guarantees that a specific health care provider will deliver your baby since no provider is available 24 hours a day make sure you know the other providers in the practice or with whom the doctor shares delivery responsibility if i have a question who do i call who responds to the calls do you accept questions via e mail am i allowed to write a personal birth plan will it be respected a personal birth plan is a written agreement between you and your doctor as to how your baby will be delivered it gives the parents more of a role in the decision making process however the plan is no guarantee that your birthing process will go as planned since complications can arise if complications arise your doctor will make decisions based on your and your baby is safety what is your policy on inducing labor if i go beyond my due date another important

it in any way i am not diabetic to my knowledge i put arnica on it and it feels a little better but it is still a concern,bmi is a tool that estimates body fat based on height and weight measures of individuals as bmi increases so does your risk for heart disease high blood pressure type 2 diabetes and certain cancers but this tool is not perfect it can overestimate body fat in individuals who are very lean but weigh more like athletes and it can underestimate body fat in people who are thin but have low muscle tone bmi is calculated from your height and weight and is used as an indirect screening tool for body fat and risk of diseases or other health conditions bmi does have its limitations however as some individuals such as athletes may have a high bmi because of increased muscle mass as a result they might have a high bmi but not a high percentage of body fat there are other more direct measurement techniques for body fat percentage some of which include • underwater weighing • air displacement • dual energy x ray • bioelectrical impedance • skinfold measurements there are however trade offs with each method the more accurate methods tend to require specialized equipment that can be very expensive and require additional training and take longer to implement the quicker and cheaper methods may not require much additional training but may not be as accurate researchers have to choose which method will best fit their needs let is just keep it simple if your waist is above 45 of your height you are too fat and if you work on just that number you will become lean and healthy for example a man who is 72 tall 6 need to keep his waist under 32 and a woman who is 68 tall 58 needs to keep her waist under 30 just measure your height in inches and multiply times 45

good ways to diagnose lactose intolerance most people who consider themselves lactose intolerant have never been formally tested for intolerance this is unfortunate because at least 20 of people who think they are lactose intolerant are not and 20 of people who think they are not intolerant in fact are intolerant why should so many people believe that they are lactose intolerant when they are not this erroneous belief may be common for several reasons people with unexplained undiagnosed gastrointestinal symptoms are looking for an explanation for their symptoms since lactose intolerance is a well known condition it provides these people with a ready and welcome explanation for their symptoms confirmation that lactose intolerance is present often is made subjectively and without careful correlation between ingestion of milk or milk products and symptoms extrapolating from data on the effect of placebo it can be hypothesized that between 20 and 40 percent of people who think they feel better on stopping milk in fact are no better feeling better for them is analogous to a beneficial positive response to placebo formal testing for lactose intolerance is valuable not only can testing confirm lactose intolerance and prompt the institution of a reduced or lactose free diet but it also can exclude lactose intolerance and direct attention to diagnosing other conditions and diseases that are responsible for the symptoms elimination diet probably the most common way that people self diagnose lactose intolerance is by an elimination diet a diet that eliminates milk and milk products there are several problems with this type of testing milk products are so common in prepared foods from the supermarket or restaurant that it is likely that an elimination diet that is not rigorous i e does not eliminate all milk containing products will still include substantial amounts of milk thus persons with severe lactase deficiency attempting an elimination diet may be ingesting enough lactose to have symptoms and erroneously conclude that lactose intolerance is not responsible for the symptoms people often make the assumption that they are lactose intolerant based on a short trial of elimination a short trial may be adequate if symptoms are severe and occurring daily but not if the symptoms are subtle andor variable in the latter case an elimination diet may need to be continued for several weeks because symptoms of lactose intolerance are subjective and variable there always is the possibility of a placebo effect in which people think they feel better eliminating milk when in fact they are no better as discussed previously with subjective symptoms such as those of lactose intolerance a placebo effect might be expected to occur 20 40 of the time if an elimination diet is to be used for diagnosing lactose intolerance it should be a rigorous diet a rigorous diet requires counseling by a dietician or reading a guide to a lactose elimination diet the diet also needs to be continued long enough to clearly evaluate whether or not +i have urination issues i just finish going and when i stand up i have an urgent need to go again,period cramps are

sexual contact while it may be less common than transmission from genital to genital contact it happens if you question that disease carrying potential of your sexual partner it would be wise not to

ended a little over a week ago but there is still some spotting as far as i know it is not possible for me to become pregnant i had a tubal ligation after my last child 10 years ago also been having aversions to certain foods and smells could this be the onset of menopause i am almost 40 years old,this is a very interesting question that has quite possibly a simple answer gently plug your ears with your fingers and breathe heavily through your nose for a moment or two can you hear yourself breathing most people can that is because plugging your ear canal blocks outside noise from being transmitted through the nerves of the ear to the brain instead your ear hears your body is internal sounds like breathing it is possible your headphones are blocking external noise and allowing your ears to hear your body is sounds instead if you are playing music through your headphones at a low sound level your ears will continue to pick up your breath sounds while you may actually be breathing in a labored fashion when you put headphones on such as if you are exercising chances are it just sounds that way to you because you are not used to hearing your normal breath sounds of course if you feel short of breath or feel you have trouble breathing then by all means you should see a doctor if you are otherwise healthy and not having additional symptoms you may not need to get this checked out as always though if you have any concerns about your health especially your breathing you should consult a medical professional hope this helps i thought i was the only one i think it also deals

had a caesarean there were two doctors that performed the operation that lasted nearly for an hour in addition to an experienced md there was a resident doctor should this be acceptable to be honest i

training in obstetrics in order to learn by observing and participating they need to do those procedures your hospital is most likely a teaching hospital that has many residents in many different specialty area instead of seeing this as a training session view it as you had two doctors for the price of one one highly experienced and another in training two heads and four hands are always better than one head and two hands +i am only 14 and i thiink my low blood pressure is caused by my anti depressants is this bad i take wellbutrin bupropion 300mg every time i stand up i become dizzy

mirror a lady decides whether she is happy or unhappy with the state of her skin and when she sees the vertical lips lines and maybe the deep lines around the crow is foot area and some frown lines here and some forehead lines at some point she is going to ask herself well should i do something about it now she could use an entry level procedure like botox that will help the squint lines it is very good for the vertical frown lines but it does not change the overall characteristics of the skin when there has been a lot of sun damage that brown color the kind of an unhealthy look sun damage brown spots age spots whatever you want to call them it would take a resurfacing the removal of that damaged layer of skin and forcing nature to regenerate fresh new skin and that is really what the chemical peel or the laser peel does so some patients may need a little help with restylane a little help with botox a lot of help with the chemical or laser treatment when you look in the mirror you decide what you do not like and then you have to consult with a specialist who will tell you what the remedies are and for some people treatment a is not proper and for others it is and that is the value of the consultation only if it is really bothering you a lot i mean everybody everybody has kind of a tipping point there is a point where one day you look in the mirror and you say you know what i know it is not going to get any better i think i need to talk to a doctor about this and that age could be 40 it could be 65 and people have come in here to consult for the first time with a cosmetic surgeon at 75 or 80 my first question is where have you been no but whatever is right for the patient is what counts it is all in the eyes of the beholder if you see you are starting to wrinkle should you rush in in your 40s and 50s we are here to serve when appropriate at any age now does the chemical peel do any kind of lifting in fact it does not correct the jowls or the sagging neck but a lift in the sense that it does tighten the skin on the face it will make this groove a little better not enough perhaps to solve the problem completely but what it does is it gives you a youthful looking skin because it is not wrinkled it does not have the age spots does not have the brown spots does not look like you have baked in the sun and that is something that no other process obtains +i heard the irs can only collect health insurance penalties for not signing up by deducting them from tax refunds if you structure your withholding to never get a refund can you permanently

and a severe spasm i have been tested for caeliac and have had many blood tests and urine tests done please help,i am sorry to hear you are going through this it sounds miserable and worrisome i want to emphasize your need to stay hydrated even if drinking water gives you nausea maybe try drinking water at different temperatures to see if one is more palatable than another or see if there is a vitamin water flavored water or type of sports drink you can tolerate despite the fact you have been tested for celiac and other conditions in the past my advice to you is to keep pursuing a cause for your symptoms some conditions take a long time to be diagnosed such as gastroparesis sometimes tests need to be repeated periodically and the results compared in order to reach a diagnosis it is ok to be very pro active with your health care providers in pushing for additional testing or repeated tests depending on how much time has elapsed in order to get a diagnosis i would suggest keeping copies of all your lab results and imaging films usually these can be provided to you on cds for easy storage you will want to keep these for new doctors you may consult and for comparison of test results

coming from,i am sorry to hear you are suffering chronic pain can be hard to deal with it sounds like you have had all the right tests to rule out the usual culprits of right upper quadrant pain gallbladder problems liver problems bladder infection kidney issues etc if none of those are causing the pain it will be classified as idiopathic which means doctors do not know what is causing it

blood test for example you could have somehow damaged cartilage between your lower ribs that can be very painful and can take a long time to heal or you could have injured a muscle in that area

from spinal stenosis and arthritis does it really have any long term effects on memory,i would be reluctant to use medical marijuana on an elderly person who may have problems with memory and mental processing as it is however a pain managment specialist may have different ideas this 95 year old should really see a pain specialist so that hisher pain can be pharmaceutically managed taking into account all of there medical history personally i have never prescribed it for these reasons as a former pain pill addict and current medicinal user of cannabis i must respectfully disagree with the doctor new research is showing that marijuana does not effect the memory in the ways previously thought however i will admit the effects of marijuana on an elderly patient especially one that has never used it before may be a bit overwhelming are you in a state where it is legal medicinally because it would be best to do under the care of a doctor considering the age factor marijuana is a much safer form of pain control than traditional narcotics it is also being shown to have benefits on numerous other conditions you can always do the research if you have any doubts or concerns also to answer your original question marijuana does not come in pill form there is a synthetic pill called marinol but it is not exactly the same as cannabis and is usually only prescribed for cancer patients there is a variety of ways to reap the benefits of marijuana i would suggest cannabis oil a little bit placed under the tongue can go along way there is also edibles such as cookies cakes and brownies but those tend to have a more psychoactive effect and may be a bit too overwhelming smoking it is an option but with the patients age i would advice against this if you are in a state where it is legalized for medicinal use talk with a doctor about your options if unfortunately your in a state like me where its not you can always find all the information you could ever want or need online just be careful and make sure you check the sources of the information your reading also be careful of the law as i can personally attest to even if your just trying to use a safe alternate to

osteoarthritis,osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease is the most common type of arthritis it is associated with the breakdown of a joint is cartilage cartilage is a firm rubbery material that covers and cushions the ends of bones in normal joints its main function is to reduce friction in the joints and serve as a shock absorber osteoarthritis causes the cartilage in a joint to become stiff and lose its elasticity making it more susceptible to damage over time the cartilage may wear away in some areas greatly decreasing its ability to act as a shock absorber as the cartilage wears away tendons and ligaments stretch causing pain if the condition worsens the bones could rub against each other causing even more pain and loss of movement oa is most common in middle aged and older people and its symptoms can range from very mild to very severe the disorder most often affects hands and weight bearing joints such as knees hips feet and the back but can affect almost any joint in the body women are more commonly affected than men +to dr moser i hope you read this thank you for answering my question some more information would be appreciated it was a staph infection that was in his testicle area i know the needle would have hurt but should he have felt much more after that it was a min or less that the dr waited before he started to lance the infected area it was a very small incision that he made no bigger than the tip of a pen,most helpful answer a staph infection in the testicle area is painful in itself let alone have an abscess surgically lanced i have done this procedure on a number of patients and as careful as i am to limit discomfort there is still pain involved just using lidocaine in this area is painful to inject and often very difficult to even use many abscesses have just a thin layer of skin over them in order to numb this area the lidocaine has to be injected in the skin not underneath in the pocket of pus this can be very difficult sometimes just a quick puncture using a sterile scalpel is less painful that trying to numb up this challenging area hopefully you are on the proper antibiotic and treatment regime and better by now if the staph infection was caused by shaving you may want to consider going back to au natural again +im 15 after i masturbate my penis hurts and feels sore when i get an erection after im a virgin and

who tend to deposit their body fat in their abdominal area first you are not obese we have to keep these measurements in perspective look at the other women on both sides of your family do some of them have the same fat distribution genetics does play a role your waist size is very good at 30 inches but may seem to be large in your eyes because the rest of you is so much smaller in comparison most women would love to have a 30 inch waist just as an aside ask your gynecologist to check you for ovarian cysts sometimes women have polycystic ovaries that lead to a greater abdominal fat distribution there is a simple sonogram and blood test you would undergo if you do not have this issue then you are left with your genetics some women simply have more active fat storage enzyme in their abdominal area others bemoan the fact that they have it mostly in their buttocks or thighs everyone is different here here are some tips to optimize your waistline 1 watch out with overconsumption of alcohol it tends to favor ab fat distribution moderation please 2 eating too many breads pastas and heavy complex carbs bloats most women esp in the ab area 3 watch your posture if you are tall hey i am 59 so i know and you stoop over that will make your tummy look large to you and the world straighten up and practice good core power throughout the day 4 speaking of core i would most definitely do a core program including pilates you need to keep that long waist and back strong and toned 5 try to keep your calories spread out over the day eating too much late at night leads to a tummy hang in the morning +cervix looks like a skinned knee today i went to the gyno for concerns i was having with my birth control she did a pap and said my cervix looked like a scrapped knee then she took a sample and i started bleeding very bad she told me its probably nothing but she took some tests i am very nervous now and i can not stop worrying anyone had a similar experiance p s i also recently had sex about 6 days ago and i cramped so bad and started bleeding this has never happened before during sex,the cervix can become friable and bleed for many different reasons so i am sorry that your gyn did not explain it to you at the time of your pap i can understand your anxiety since you were sort of left hanging after that comment the most common reason would be cervicitis an infection that obviously involves the cervix and usually the vagina many will simply self resolve but this may also show up on your pap smear when you get the results a small amount of bleeding can occur during a pap and can interfere with results so hopefully you will not have to have a repeat pap smear as you mentioned the cervix can also be traumatized during sex so this may be the underlying reason i think it would be important to have a follow up with your gyn if you continue to have post coital bleeding +is it safe to mix sulfamethtrimethoprim with a z pak urgent care would not

work done normal sent me for ultrasound normal then hida scan normal still having problems everytime i eat my stomach starts hurting really bad and my stomach swells some my stomach is constanly sore ,the next step would be to see a gastoenterlogist someone that can visually inspect your stomach with a fiberoptic scope or at least run some additional diagnostic tests medications used to block or

causes it,shingles is a skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox this virus is called the varicella zoster virus vzv and belongs to the herpes family of viruses after an individual has chickenpox this virus lives dormant in the nervous system and is never fully cleared from the body under certain circumstances such as emotional stress immune deficiency from aids or chemotherapy or with cancer the virus reactivates and causes shingles in most cases of shingles however a cause for the reactivation of the virus is never found anyone who has ever had chickenpox is at risk for the development of shingles although it occurs most commonly in people over the age of 60 it has been estimated that up to 1 000 000 cases of shingles occur each year in the u s the herpes virus that

not 100 7 months ago i slipped on ice outside my driveway and heard a large pop sound when i fell at present day i can walk comfortably i have full range of motion in all directions except upwards meaning if i grab my foot and pull it towards me there is pain inside my ankle in the ligaments that were damaged in the fall i assume i am trying to exercise it by putting half my foot on a raised object like a curb or books and gently push down what can i do to improve the healing process,i sprained my own ankle about 20 years ago and it still hurts unfortunately i waited too long to get a proper diagnosis assuming it was just a sprain i tore some ligaments and because of the delay in having an mri it could not be repaired i suggest that you do not repeat my own mistake and have a proper examination either by an orthopedist or podiatrist that handles ankle disorders you may need some imaging studies as well i am a board certified physical therapist with over 13 years of clinical experience physical therapists are experts in assessing and treating problems with the neuromusculoskeletal system including ankle injuries and sprains i highly recommend that you seek the professional opinion of a well respected physical therapist in your area physical therapists focus their practice on macro biological movement sciences as opposed to micro biological pathology what does that mean to you not only will a pt help you determine if you have ‘loose or possibly ‘torn ankle ligaments but he or she will perform a thorough examination of your entire lower body to determine what is at the root of your continued pain – often a dysfunctional movement pattern that is due in part to the initial injury but perpetuated by a host of factors if you see a physical therapist you will have an initial examination to determine a “differential diagnosis” the pt will take a thorough history and screen you to determine if there is a medical condition that requires you to see a physician for further medical workup second the physical therapist will determine a “movement impairment diagnosis” that will help direct physical therapy interventions in your question you state that ankle dorsiflexion moving the foot upwards is limited and painful otherwise you do not state why you are not “100” with limited dorsiflexion some common activities that might be painful are deep squatting running jumping and stairs the great thing about seeing a physical therapist is that he or she will work with you to find the root causes that are driving this continued pain and limited motion we will go beyond treating your symptoms these causes may or may not include things such as joint stiffness scar tissue flexibility restrictions decreased proprioception balance ability and coordinationcontrol muscle weakness and altered biomechanics these impairments can respond very well to conservative physical therapy treatments regarding an earlier answer that was posted mris and surgery are rarely needed even with severe ankle sprains if your injury was more recent and you were having trouble walking x rays might be more highly indicated to rule out possible bony pathology again a physical therapist can safely and effectively guide you in your treatment course even if you require referral for further medical workup even in the case of severe ankle injuries such as fractures that are treated surgically or non surgically i see that patients recover best when physician care is followed by physical therapy rehabilitation in all 50 +besides tender swollen

consider with your question if your uterus was surgically removed but you still have your ovaries this does not mean that you have reached menopause when the ovaries are left intact following a hysterectomy they may function normally and produce hormones for years to come in which case the absence of menstruation would not mean that you are in menopause or the ovaries may stop hormone production within a year or two after the hysterectomy and lead to an earlier menopause than would normally be expected the relationship of menopause to high blood pressure hypertension is complex and not fully understood however there are some studies that suggest that declining estrogen levels may influence the lining of the blood vessels and contribute to increases in blood pressure researchers continue to review the relationship between menopause and blood pressure you also mention that you have gained weight you do not mention if you are overweight but weight is also related to the risk of

mayonnaise,well the thing is you do not want to put ice on it if you put ice on it believe it or not the burn is kind of open skin in some cases so ice will actually adhere to the skin so when you try to take the ice off of it you will rip layers of skin with it and possibly cause an infection the recommendation is really to use tepid or cool water not super cold but right in the middle and submerse the area butter and mayonnaise to me are like wives tales people believe that they should be putting some type of ointment on it to help replace the moisture in the skin that is not the case we found out in a lot of cases now that you need to let the air get to it and let it heal by itself because when they were putting things like ointments and creams on it it was trapping in bacteria leading to skin infections if you notice though it is blistering and the area is extremely red you probably need to go and have it looked at by a healthcare provider because there are some prescription ointments and creams that are specifically used for burns +i am 28 years old unmarried i got chicken pox last month i e 10th july my last periods was on the 5th of july my menstural

penis the sore is not open at all so is there still a high risk of infection whenever we make out when she has a cold sore i never get one and she generally gets them when she is really stressed,the short answer is yes unfortunately you have exposed yourself to genital herpes it does not matter that the cold sore was scabbed over or that the lip lesion barely touched your penis a person with herpes can spread the virus even when it is not active your girlfriend is herpes most definitely was active since she had a lesion this does not mean you positively will develop genital herpes but you are flirting with disaster you need to take better precautions in the future there is no cure for genital herpes if you do develop genital herpes you absolutely must disclose the fact to your partners

treatments in development,not one but two effective new hep c treatments got a strong endorsement from an fda advisory panel merck is victrelis boceprevir was recently approved and vertex is telaprevir no brand name yet should soon get full fda approval about two thirds of people are cured when either of the new drugs is added to current treatment the telaprevir combination takes six months — half the time of current treatment — while victrelis treatment lasts eight to 12 months as usual in the world of hepatitis c treatment there are serious downsides to both drugs the biggest downside is that people who take them still have to take the standard treatment of alpha interferon and ribavirin taking these drugs is like having a bad case of the flu that lasts for months unfortunately the combination of standard treatment with either of the new drugs is even harder to take each drug adds to the anemia from the interferonribavirin combo some 40 of people taking victrelis get so anemic they need expensive doses of the anti anemia drug erythropoietin and a nasty rash is a common side effect with telaprevir the two drugs work in essentially the same way both are protease inhibitors which mean they attack a hepatitis c virus hcv enzyme that is essential for the virus to make new copies of itself each of the drugs brings virus replication to a near halt but when used alone hcv quickly becomes resistant to each of the new drugs that is why they have to be given in combination meanwhile people with hepatitis c wonder when they will see the really big breakthrough everyone is waiting for — a drug combination that works for nearly everyone and which does not require either interferon or ribavirin such treatments are in the pipeline some experts say they may come in as few as two or three years while others say it will be a decade before they are finally here what is for sure is that telaprevir and victrelis are just the first in what is hoped will be a long line of treatment options for people with the deadly hepatitis c virus +after having my teeth cleaned i can only open my mouth a few inches and closing my mouth is painful what should i

substances released by bacteria cause blood pressure to fall to dangerously low levels antibiotics are the most important treatment for septic shock however antibiotics alone do not correct septic

risk women calcium supplements may reduce the risk of developing preeclampsia and the risk of having a low birth weight baby particularly among high risk women who normally do not get enough calcium 4

generally benefit from taking the u s food and drug administration is recommended daily allowance of of calcium each day to keep their bones healthy low dose aspirin antiplatelet therapy may be a moderately effective preventive treatment for women at risk of developing preeclampsia although some experts question how effective low dose aspirin is others assert that high risk women who take it

vitamin e supplements does not help prevent preeclampsia 15 16 webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the advice of a doctor healthwise disclaims any

delayed periods are caused by pregnancy also women can experience some bleeding during pregnancy if you are pregnant ask your doctor what you should be aware of with bleeding for example when is bleeding normal and when is it a sign of an emergency there are reasons besides pregnancy for missing a period it might be that you gained or lost too much weight hormonal problems fatigue or stress

tea tree oil to clean out ear wax was not told to dilute it now it feels clogged did i damage my hearing,you may have had a partial wax impaction but when you added the oil the wax softened and now you have a complete wax impaction it is very unlikely that you damaged your hearing so assuming that you do not have ear pain or other signs of an ear infection you can lavage wash out your ear canal with a gentle stream of warm water just slightly warmer than your body temperature the warm water stream will most likely dislodge the softened wax so you can do this in the shower allow a stream of shower water to go in your ear canal a hand held shower works the best once the water gets out of your ear your hearing should return to its normal level again +why do i have insane cravings for sweets i am pretty healthy 53 and 123 lbs in the morning 20 yrs old i eat well and exercise 40 min a day but there is one problem i have these insane cravings for sweets especially dark chocolate it

child need,the amount of sleep that a child needs is going to be based on that child is age actually we have a great article on webmd where you can actually click on the different ages to find out what your child is sleep need is going to be but generally speaking what we are finding in national sleep foundation is polls is that kids are not getting enough sleep and they are also not getting sleep at the times that they need it may be an enjoyable thing to because you are coming home late to be able to spend some time with your child and have them stay up past their bedtime but it really can be a detriment to their health in the long run in the first year of life children are going to sleeping north of 18 hours in some cases maybe as little as 12 or 13 hours but that oftentimes occurs if you have a very colicky baby or a reflux baby try to know and understand what health issues could be going on there when you get into the 2 to 3 range that is when your children should be sleeping about 11 – 12 hours then when you start to move into grade school you are going to be looking at 9 to 10 hours and you should your kids should stick to the 9 to 10 hour range almost through high school very few high schoolers get that much sleep and so interestingly what we have found is first of all high school age children tend to swing and want to stay up late and sleep late and so anybody out there who has a high school age kid knows that the kids want to stay up til 200 am and then they want to sleep til noon uh that is a natural occurrence for them believe it or not in minnesota they actually changed school start times and they found that kids increased their grades by almost a full letter grade by actually going to school later and staying later so when you are talking with your children about sleep one of the things that you want to say is hey this is very important for you first of all it helps you learn second of all it helps your overall mood and finally it really helps your health and so i try to make the importance of sleep greater for children so that way they can get an understanding of it it is not that mom or dad wants you to go to bed at a certain time because they are mean it is because they are actually doing something better for your health +i do not have income so am i required to have health insurance if so where can i apply or enroll in some insurance

not say anything hurts except her throat her doctor says she is coughing due to the remaining bronchitis but i am thinking it may be something else any suggestions would be great,two common reasons

disease in which the immune system attacks the body is own tissues as though they were foreign substances lupus is not contagious no one knows exactly what causes the body to attack its own tissues a person may be born with a certain genetic makeup that affects how the immune system functions or makes him or her at risk for lupus a combination of factors can trigger the autoimmune process some of which may affect one person but not another 1 exposure to ultraviolet light usually from sunlight is known to trigger the disease process and symptom flares hormonal factors are linked to autoimmune disease though the link is poorly understood some research shows an increased risk of lupus with higher levels of estrogen but a separate study did not find evidence that the hormones estrogen or prolactin taken for hormone replacement therapy or birth control or taken previously for fertility treatments increased the risk of lupus 2 another study showed that women with stable lupus had no increased risk of symptom flares from taking birth control pills 3 smoking may increase the risk of getting lupus and may make the disease more severe some medications are suspected triggers of lupus and symptom flares some infections are suspected triggers some people who have cytomegalovirus cmv parvovirus such as fifth disease and hepatitis c infections eventually develop lupus the epstein barr

bleeding during pregnancy some studies show that up to 30 of pregnant women will experience some degree of vaginal bleeding while they are pregnant vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is more common

weaker than normal with heart failure blood moves through the heart and body at a slower rate and pressure in the heart increases as a result the heart cannot pump enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the body is needs the chambers of the heart respond by stretching to hold more blood to pump through the body in time the heart muscle walls weaken and are unable to pump as strongly as a result the

shingles itself is not contagious what i mean is you cannot get shingles from someone else who has shingles shingles is contagious from the standpoint that you can get chickenpox from direct exposure to shingles blisters in other words if a person has never had chickenpox and has not been vaccinated against chickenpox that person can get chickenpox if they come in contact with shingles blisters however if you have had chickenpox or shingles you cannot get shingles from coming in contact with someone who is having an active outbreak of shingles a shingles outbreak is triggered from within your own body it is not caused by contact with someone else so to answer your question you do not need to avoid contact with your dad you also should be aware that you can get the shingles vaccination if you are over age 50 even if you have had an outbreak of shingles in the past i hope this helps i know a man who told me his wife died from shingles i think he is a carrier even though he does not have the symptoms because after cleaning his house for him and spending a few hours talking with him and using his dishes i developed a single shingle on my hand and two on the top of my upper lip now i have never had herpes or fever blisters or cold sores ever my family members were afflicted but i never was infected i freaked out and treated the sores with a variety of things to get it to go away

different that taking it orally if you look up definition of bursitis symptoms and treatment this is one of the recommended treatments i recently had a fractured femur and am post operative three months and overdid my activity and got this pain i never have had before but with researching bursitis it was like a checklist item thank goodness i had a follow up post surgical appointment and told my orthopedic doctor he did x rays of my hip femoral head and the bump swelling i got on the side of my leg definitely follows the symptoms of bursitis the doctor did not say you have bursitis but gave me a cortisone injection quickly after seeing the bursae bump as i call it that is the only thing i fault him for but am glad i came here and coming from the medical field knew it had to be a bursae as it did not feel like muscle or nerve although i did have sharp sudden pain when it first started i had been gardening as i was feeling better but think i over did it so i am resting the area

from sperm outside your body if a man ejaculates around the labia of a womans vagina the tail like whip of the sperm may guide it to the inside of a womans vagina the mission of each sperm is to reach the unfertilized egg and it has no problem with heading in the right direction if the travel occurs quickly it can get inside where it can live up to two weeks in the womans uterus before inpregnation no once sperm touches oxygen or air it is killed think of it as bacteria it dies when its not at body temperature the two answers above are both false first of all sperm are very fragile and they are not on a mission to reach a woman is egg truth be told experiment after experiment has shown that sperm have no sense of direction and can not swim very well thus the reason that millions of sperm must be present and ejaculated inside a woman so that maybe a handful can reach an egg if present also sperm do not die when they hit the air they only die once the semen dies if you do not know semen is the liquid you can see that contains the sperm which you can not see if the semen is dry the sperm are dead think about this even under perfect conditions where both people are fertile and healthy the woman is perfectly ovulating and the man ejaculates directly into her vagina the chances of pregnancy are never more than 80 so if under perfect conditions it is still relatively difficult to get pregnant than it is nearly impossible to get pregnant in any other fashion put it this way there has never been a case other than the birth of jesus son of mary where a virgin gets pregnant so in the real world a man can not just ejaculate on a woman and get her pregnant the two must have sex it is impossible to keep your virginity and get pregnant because sperm must be inside a woman for her to get pregnant and this can not happen if there is no intercourse if a man ejaculates on a woman is stomach face breasts etc there is no chance of pregnancy because the sperm can not just waltz into a woman is vagina many women may say that they did not have sex and yet got pregnant but this is not the case knowledge is power so there you are there all from different sites some doctors and some not but you do have to remember that sperm when ejaculated inside the vagina is there at your cervix now just add all the way it has to travel through thick mucus and then it has to break into the cervix it is a long way to go i know its there job and add into that +why do my fingers turn white & get numb in cold weather,this is due to your circulation or lack of during cold weather the body will set

2 year old to a doctor after 7 days of yellow green mucous nasal discharge he started with mild 38 degree fever for 3 days clear mucous on day 1 and 2 mucous started to become yellowgreen with bad chesty cough that sounds phlegmy,maybe yellow green mucous is not a definitive sign of a bacterial infection in a two year old but it could be this color change is usually caused by stagnation of the flow of mucous just the way a pond turns green if there is not a good in and out flow of water two year olds do not blow their noses if your child is ill or feverish if he seems to be getting progressively worse then yes seeing his medical provider would be a wise decision +could advil pm and other over the counter sleep meds cause liver problems,this is not common with advil pm now there are other products in the market though so once again we have to encourage consumers and patients to read the bottle and know what the active ingredients are advil pm contains ibuprofen and diphenhydramine which is really benadryl so if you are taking benadryl for your allergies and now you are taking advil pm on top of it all that could be a problem because you may end up with a lot of drowsiness and actually you might feel that hangover in the morning like oh my head feels like it is floating it is because you have taken too much benadryl +what are the treatments for colorectal cancer,i afford patients 30 minutes if folks are doing super well the session may take 10 minutes but i allow 30 minutes if not going well or we are making lots of med changes we use all 30 some sessions are 60 minutes which depends on staffing levels at my office the patient what day of the week it is but 30 is average also some docs at big practices or public practices are not their own boss and are forced to see a patient every 15 minutes which i personally think is pushing it in areas low on psychiatrists this is common too as the idea is that 15 minutes of psych care is better than zero it does depend on many factors +pain in left toes that traveled up leg and now my leg feels bruised to touch and knee swells daily and hurts,i am sorry you are experiencing this it sounds

others i am not suggesting you are experiencing an emergency but i would recommend you get this checked out sooner rather than later if your calf or thigh hurts to touch and is hot red or swollen this could be the sign of a blood clot in your leg and you should seek immediate medical attention feel better +last period was light this month am 7 days late but not had sex this month last month period

oral herpes i feel so stupid because it did not cross my mind that not having symptoms does not mean that i can not contract the virus +what is a cataract,if you are thinking about self medicating do not do it have you been diagnosed with a bladder infection or did you self diagnose this if a medical professional diagnosed you with a bladder infection then he or she would have given you a prescription for the appropriate antibiotic to treat that infection as you seem to be aware different antibiotics are effective for different types of infections an antibiotic that treats a tooth abscess for example may have no effect on a foot ulcer that got infected when a person decides to self diagnose and self medicate they do themselves a grave disservice in taking a leftover antibiotic for a perceived infection they may delay getting the correct diagnosis and treatment this can allow the infection to get worse spread and cause other complications if you believe you have a urinary tract infection much more likely than a bladder infection i suggest you go to a clinic or urgent care center they will take a simple urine sample and tell you right away if your problem requires an antibiotic many conditions can cause symptoms similar to a uti or bladder infection even if you would had a uti before do not assume you know that is what is causing your symptoms only a urinalysis can tell you for sure if there are bacteria in your urinary tract wishing you well +i have insomnia have had it for quite a few years was told i had rbc red blood cell countdeficiency as well,hi low

unlikely to be passed on a uti is caused because of bacteria near the urethra it travels thru urethra and into the bladder in males the urethra is considerably longer and most bacteria never even reach bladder on the other hand in women it does not have to travel such a distance which makes women more prone proper cleaning and wiping helps prevent uti also it has been suggested cranberry pills and plenty of water can help prevent or get rid of uti but there is not enough information to either support or negate this antibiotics are prescribed by doctor if you experience a tender or sore urethra search for medical attention now if a male has a uti females should get checked because it seems women are more susceptible to becoming infected as well the best advice would be very open to partner when ever something intimate feels wrong and it never hurts to double check but normal infections are normal and can be rid of in a few days depending on severity and medication +what causes back pain on the right side just below rib cage i had run a low grade fever and chills for two evenings with no other symptoms then i started with a pain in my middle right side of my back it hurts

have to drastically change their diet when they start on the blood thinner warfarin coumadin but you do have to pay close attention to what you are eating the goal is to keep the level of vitamin k about the same from day to day you can do this by knowing which foods have a lot of vitamin k and not making any big changes in how much of them you are eating each day foods that have a lot of vitamin k include most of the green leafy vegetables like spinach kale lettuce cabbage swiss chard endive and seaweed greens such as turnip collard and mustard are all high in vitamin k as well other vegetables that contain a lot of vitamin k are cauliflower broccoli and asparagus liver is also high in vitamin k other things to watch out for include green tea canola oil and soybean oil peanuts and potatoes do not have a large amount of vitamin k but watch out for cashews and pine nuts they have a bit more vitamin k so eat them sparingly so what does all this mean if you have always had a salad for lunch then it is probably fine to keep eating one every day as long as it is ok with your doctor if you want broccoli or asparagus with your dinner for a change then it would be best to skip the salad that day and remember to keep your portions small liver has a lot of cholesterol so i would recommend skipping that altogether if your doctor has recommended a multivitamin make sure you take it every day they usually have vitamin k in them as well so you want to be consistent talk to your doctor before making any changes in your diet do not take any over the counter medicines or supplements

does coronary artery disease develop,arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscles are called coronary arteries coronary artery disease cad occurs when cholesterol plaque a hard thick substance comprised of varying amounts of cholesterol calcium muscle cells and connective tissue which accumulates locally in the artery walls builds up in the walls of these arteries a process called arteriosclerosis over time arteriosclerosis causes significant narrowing of one or more coronary arteries when coronary arteries narrow more than 50 to 70 the blood supply beyond the plaque becomes inadequate to meet the increased oxygen demand during exercise lack of oxygen ischemia in the heart muscle causes chest pain angina in most patients however some 25 of patients experience no chest pain at all despite documented ischemia or may only develop episodic shortness of breath instead of chest pain these patients have silent angina and have the same risk of heart attack as those with angina when arteries are narrowed in excess of 90 99 patients often have angina at rest unstable angina when a blood clot thrombus forms on the plaque the artery may become completely blocked causing death of a part of the heart muscle heart attack or myocardial infarction the arteriosclerotic process can be accelerated by smoking high blood pressure elevated cholesterol levels and diabetes patients are also at higher risk for arteriosclerosis if they are older greater than 45 years for men and 55 years for women or if they have a family history of coronary heart disease +i would like to

rupture it causes blood clots and blocks the blood vessel this can lead to a heart attack the same process can happen in all of the arteries in the body resulting in lack of blood to the brain causing

hypoglycemia can live on a vegetarian diet a vegetarian diet is a diet or lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food properly planned vegan diets are healthful and have been found to satisfy nutritional needs poorly planned vegan diets can be low in levels of calcium iodine vitamin b12 and vitamin d vegans are therefore encouraged to plan their diet and take dietary supplements

adjusting to that diet and the low calorie intake since you experience thyroid cancer the needs for energy are increased because the cancer causes the metabolism to work faster and to spend the energy

migraine headache is a form of vascular headache migraine headache is caused by a combination of vasodilatation enlargement of blood vessels and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the large arteries of the brain enlargement of these blood vessels stretches the nerves that coil around them and causes the nerves to release chemicals the chemicals cause inflammation pain and further enlargement of the artery the increasing enlargement of the artery magnifies the pain migraine attacks commonly activate the sympathetic nervous system in the body the sympathetic nervous system is often thought of as the part of the nervous system that controls primitive responses to stress and pain the so called fight or flight response this activation causes many of the symptoms associated with migraine attacks for example the increased sympathetic nervous activity in the intestine causes nausea vomiting and diarrhea sympathetic activity also delays emptying of the stomach into the small intestine and thereby prevents oral medications from entering the intestine and being absorbed the impaired absorption of oral medications is a common reason for the ineffectiveness of medications taken to treat migraine headaches the increased sympathetic activity also decreases the circulation of blood and this leads to pale skin as well as cold hands and feet the increased

itchy skin hemoglobin of 6 8 confusion hard stools,most helpful answer the answer is yes and no some of your symptoms could be indicative of dehydation namely dark colored urine extreme thirst itchy skin hard stools confusion but dehydration is not the only condition that could cause these symptoms i hope you are following up with a medical professional about these symptoms to determine the underlying cause regarding your hemoglobin results i wonder if you are referring to the actual hemoglobin test or if you are referring to the hemoglobin a1c test these are two entirely different things basically a hemoglobin test measures your red blood cell count a result of 6 8 would be quite low for either a woman or a man in fact that result would put you in the anemic category and it would require medical treatment on the other hand a hemoglobin a1c test provides a snapshot of your blood sugar control over the preceding three months a result of 6 8 would be considered within the desirable range for someone with diabetes it would be considered outside the normal range for someone without diagnosed diabetes i would suggest you make an appointment with your primary care provider

enough to alleviate the pain especially if it is caused by something like a herniated disk also note no one should take more than 2400 milligrams of ibuprofen within a 24 hour period and no more than 800mg every 8 hours again assuming you are not exhibiting any symptoms of a heart attack which generally do not include stabbing pain at the base of the neck your best bet is to continue to try home

with times of improvement alternating with times of difficulty treatments include cognitive behavioral psychotherapy behavioral therapies and medications behavioral therapies for ocd include ritual prevention and exposure therapy prevention of rituals involves a mental health professional helping the ocd sufferer to endure longer and longer periods of resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors exposure therapy is the process by which the individual with ocd is put in touch with situations that tend to increase the ocd sufferer is urge to engage in compulsions then helping him or her resist that urge cognitivebehavioral therapists help patients change the negative styles of thinking and behaving that are often associated with the anxiety involved with obsessive compulsive disorder selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ssris are the medications that are most commonly used to treat ocd these medications increase the amount of the neurochemical serotonin in the brain remember that brain serotonin levels are thought to be low in ocd as their name implies the ssris work by selectively inhibiting blocking serotonin reuptake in the brain ssris have fewer side effects than clomipramine an older medication that is actually thought to be somewhat more effective in treating ocd ssris do not cause orthostatic hypotension a sudden drop in blood pressure when sitting up or standing and heart rhythm disturbances like clomipramine can therefore ssris are often the first line treatment for this illness examples of ssris include fluoxetine prozac paroxetine paxil sertraline zoloft citalopram celexa fluvoxamine luvox and escitalopram lexapro when the improvement that people with ocd experience is not optimal when an ssri is the only medication prescribed the addition of a neuroleptic medication like risperidone risperdal olanzapine zyprexa or aripiprazole abilify can sometimes be helpful ssris are generally well tolerated and side effects are usually mild the most common side effects are nausea diarrhea agitation insomnia and headache however these side effects generally go away within the first month of ssri use some patients experience sexual side effects such as decreased sexual desire decreased libido delayed orgasm or an inability to have an orgasm some patients experience tremors with ssris newer often called atypical neuroleptic medications tend to cause fewer side effects than many of the older medications in this class the most common side effects of atypical neuroleptics include sleepiness dizziness dry mouth and weight gain sometimes people can be more sensitive to the effects of the sun while taking these medications and therefore should take care to wear adequate sunblock whenever exposed to the sun less commonly side effects of atypical neuroleptic medications can result in painless although abnormal muscle movements like tremors stiffness and very rarely permanent muscle twitches called tardive dyskinesia

geodon actually can cause some weight gain so i would actually ask this patient number one are they telling their doctors that they they may be seeing two different doctors are they aware that they are taking these medications and do they have a medication list because of the side effect profile we are adding a medication that we really probably do not need i would like to be able to find a more non drug option such as changing their diet increasing their fluid intake so we want to make sure that that patient understands that the pharmacist by looking at their medication list when they are coming to visit the pharmacy will be able to point that out and say hey you are getting an unnecessary medication for side effect of two drugs and maybe one of them they may not necessarily need so that is where the pharmacist can actually contact the physicians or healthcare provider and say doctor are you aware of this this happens all the time in the pharmacy i can not tell you how many times i say to patients does your doctor know well i went to this doctor for this medicine but this doctor does not know about this one everyone needs to know about it that is why that medication list is so important not only is it help the pharmacist but bring it to all your other doctor appointments that way they can see everything that everyone is prescribing and we can avoid medication errors and unnecessary use i also have been on sooo many anti depressants and other meds for bipolar ii and always gained weight i am a 40 year old woman who is 51 tall and at that time almost 150 pounds but i was just prescribed a very new anti depressant called fetzima there is not any generic version as of yet i am on the max dose at 80mg daily but add lamictal adderall xanax seroquel ambien xr propranolol imitrex injections cambia liquid spinx nasal spray and lastly phenergen 25mg prn migraine with vomiting but my point which i apologize for going off in so many directions thanks to the adderall 60mg daily the fetzima is supposedly much better as far as weight is concerned it actually lists that weight loss is more common than weight gain and while i would never suggest anyone to be on a stimulantadderall when i have never been addadhd i take it daily and in a pretty decent dosage to somehow get me to function thru the day it is hard to figure out as the patient why a doctor would put you on a lot of uppers and then you need downers it is crazy but with the adderall i have been on for almost 3 months and in all honestly i now weigh 103 pounds so over 45 plus pounds +am i

treated,that is a very interesting question i am glad you asked in the medical community we often tend not to treat a condition that is asymptomatic does not have symptoms as long as you are sure your

health care provider he or she can contribute their expert medical knowledge and you can take into account your personal values and feelings between the two of you you can arrive at a decision that is right for you remember too you can always change your mind if you choose not to treat your low testosterone now but experience symptoms in the future you can always opt for testosterone replacement

given me a problem because i use a syringe to clean out my ear when i was a teenager and it hurt all day long now it always is very sensitive and hurts when you put anything in it do i need to see a doctor about this ear,a tiny amount of blood would not be a cause for alarm the skin lining of the ear canal is rich in blood supply so you most likely irritated it when you used the q tip it is best to never use q tips inside the ear canal one of reasons water had a difficult time coming out of ears is because you do not have a adequate protective coating of ear wax when water meets a waxy

wikipedia under this same topic mayoclinic com or by reading here +can i find a medicaid doctor for suboxone,when blood pressure is not sufficient to deliver enough blood to the organs of the body the organs do not work properly and can be temporarily or permanently damaged for example if insufficient blood flows to the brain brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients and a person can feel lightheaded dizzy or even faint going from a sitting or lying position to a standing position often brings out symptoms of low blood pressure this occurs because standing causes blood to settle in the veins of the lower body and this can lower the blood pressure if the blood pressure is already low standing can make the low pressure worse to the point of causing symptoms the development of lightheadedness dizziness or fainting upon standing caused by low blood pressure is called orthostatic hypotension normal individuals are able to compensate rapidly for the low pressure created by standing with the responses discussed previously and do not develop orthostatic hypotension when there is insufficient blood pressure to deliver blood to the coronary arteries the arteries that supply blood to the heart is muscle a person may develop chest pain a symptom of angina or even a heart attack when insufficient blood is delivered to the kidneys the kidneys fail to eliminate wastes from the body for example urea bun and creatinine and increases in their levels in the blood occur shock is a life threatening condition where persistently low blood pressure causes organs such as kidneys liver heart lung and brain to fail rapidly +how fast can arthritis develope in a broken foot i broke my left foot over a year ago and am still having problems i have been told it is arthritis and nothing can be done except fuse the foot what no one can or will tell me is why no problem before breaking the foot but after breaking it i suddenly have arthritis can it develop that fast i feel like the doctors and insurance nurse just want me to go away thank you,hm you raise an interesting question it is true that broken bones may be more prone to developing arthritis it helps to understand that osteoarthritis which is what we are talking about here does not necessarily mean the development of painful bony spurs in a joint which is what a lot of people think technically osteoarthritis refers to the raw edges of two pieces of bone rubbing together painfully we usually think of osteoarthritis as something that comes on gradually over the course of years because that is how the disease usually progresses in healthy tissue osteoarthritis is called the wear and tear disease because under normal circumstances the cartilage between bones in a joint wears away over the decades until the two pieces of bone grind against each other however the course may be different for osteoarthritis caused by trauma such as a broken bone i would suggest you sit down with your doctor and have him or her define arthritis for you so that you understand better what they are talking about they should also be able to explain in very clear terms how it is arthritis could develop in your foot so quickly i hope this information helps i happened to be in the same boat as you except i now know for sure i have to have fusion in my wrist which will dramatically reduce my wrist is range of motion i fractured my wrist twice first time very badly in 1981 and the second time only about 2 years ago although it was set correctly yet the second time it broke very easily because it had become suseptive to breakage due to the first severe fracture it only took one year for my wrist to develope arthritis to the extend that the only solution now is fusion withtitanium i have very soft bones and my body is arthitis proned and any trauma to my bones especially to areas that bones connect to catlidge soon develope arthritis in your case i think for one your fracture must have been relatively severe and in an area where jointcartlidge has an imprtant and pehaps muli range function and two it could have not been set very correctly and or your joints like mine are proned to arthritis due trauma physical therapy is very important after the bone heals age certainly has someting to do with it in other words the younger one is the better and quicker the bone and cartlidge heal and thus the likelihood of development of arthritis is less what triggers arthritis is when cartlidges between two connecting bones ware off due to either age or trauma usually when the connecting bone to the cartlidge is repositioned off its normal or natural position which can occur with bone fracture or even after it set do get second and third openion from expert surgeons good luck had this happen to me did the fussion 3 times and they all failed i am type 2 diabetic so +i have not been well for some time now no one can give me an answer,hi dear i understand your concern

here without doing a physical examination depending on the size of the wound that lump could be a normal part of the healing process or it could be an infection or hematoma collection of blood in the tissue if your brother in law develops a fever over 101f as measured by a thermometer not just by feeling a forehead or guessing he should get checked out by a medical professional as this may be a sign of an infection developing also if the wound continues to swell turns hot to the touch or oozes a green foul smelling discharge those would all be reasons to head for urgent care i am wondering if your brother in law is up to date on his tetanus shot every adult needs a booster injection every 10 years if your brother in law does not know if his tetanus immunization is current he should be

reattached after surgery or the surgery was botched but this is rare very rare the tubal ligation is considered permanent sterilization the only way to get pregnant after a tubal ligation is to have

insurance these are doctors have pretty good knowledge on just about everything up to date nowadays it would be hard to ask them a question without getting a test to see about the throat because usually there in the back my guess is that you have probably picked up an allergy and maybe need something like flonase to cure it up try backtracking to find as nearly possible this could have

even try to stop masturbating or watching porn he told me today that im being emotional and acting like a little girl and its not a problem with him at all because he is normal am i being too emotional or is he the one w the prob,as a couple you both have a problem but it may take a few visits to a counselor to work it out if you can convince him to do it may be difficult if he is

pregnancy the higher the risk of having an overweight child and one with higher blood pressure children who are born too small which can result from inadequate weight gain during pregnancy are more prone to certain chronic conditions including heart disease and diabetes during adulthood what if you miss the mark for recommended weight gain if you are off by just a few pounds either way it

throughout the body corticosteroids also can be administered by injection into a vein this type of injection is used to treat an allergic reaction or asthma while it is unlikely this type of steroid injection would cause indigestion it is not impossible if you received a cortisone shot for joint pain then your heartburn likely is not related hope this helps +is it possible that a cortisone

but gain even more weight than when they started the diet i am not sure what your health is like or how much you need to lose but you might want to consider a different approach one that does not

should always make sure to wash your hands before applying the ointment to your incision if your incision was closed with adhesive glue dermabond you do not need to put antibiotic ointment on it and actually should avoid doing so you probably do not need to cover the wound you may experienced localized numbness at the surgical site this probably will clear up over the course of several weeks all

nuvaring typically takes a month to be considered fully effective since you did not wait for the required amount of time before having unprotected sex it is possible for you to have become pregnant

frame is different for every woman it generally occurs around days 13 15 for a woman with a regular 28 day menstrual cycle the answer to your question then is it is possible but not likely you got pregnant when you had unprotected sex the same day you inserted the nuvaring if you ever have questions about your birth control method you can always ask your pharmacist or your gynecologist wishing you well +is there any way i can still be pregnant i was supposed to get my period on the 20th but i missed it so i took a pregnancy later that night it came out negative and the following day i took

journal usually is a real eye opener 3 savor do not sneak if you feel like you are sneaking food you will scarf up food so fast you will get whiplash stop ask yourself “what was i thinking before i decided to sneak eat ” make connections between events emotions and actions you are not going to truly savor and enjoy food you need to eat behind others backs instead you are reacting to something

be avoided for someone who has a gluten sensitivity i have been tested for celiac and that is not the issue it is just a gluten sensitivity but i am unsure what all i should avoid besides wheat barley rye and being cautious of soy products,gluten is a protein found in wheat rye barley and crossbred hybrids of these grains the good news is many foods are naturally free of gluten including fruits vegetables lean proteins nuts oils and dairy the nutrition label can help you determine which products gluten free the term gluten free can be helpful but is not a regulated claim even though the fda is working to define it when you read a label look for gluten containing ingredients including wheat barley rye oats due to likely cross contamination brewers yeast and malt beer labeling laws require allergens to be labeled including wheat proteins so any food that says contains wheat is off limits this does not apply to barley rye and oats or items that may have been cross contaminated so if there is any doubt contact the manufacturer you might want to discuss with your healthcare provider if you can tolerate small amounts of gluten if you can you may not need to be as vigilant as those

share knowledge with other doctors and nurses and talk to the people who make and sell medicines the food and drug administration fda is the part of the u s government that controls the medicines that can and can not be sold in the u s the fda lets a company sell a medicine in the u s if it is safe to use and works for a certain problem companies that make medicines usually have to show fda doctors and scientists whether birth defects or other problems occur in baby animals when the medicine is given to pregnant animals most of the time drugs are not studied in pregnant women the fda works with the drug companies to make clear and complete labels but in most cases there is not much information about how a medicine affects pregnant women and their growing babies many prescription medicine labels include the results of studies done in pregnant animals but a medicine does not always affect growing humans and animals in the same way here is an example a medicine is given to pregnant rats if the medicine causes problems in some of the rat babies it may or may not cause problems in human babies if there are no problems in the rat babies it does not prove that the medicine will not cause problems in human babies the fda asks for studies in two different kinds of animals this improves the chance that the studies can predict what may happen in pregnant women and their babies there is a lot that fda doctors and scientists do not know about using medicine during pregnancy in a perfect world every medicine label would include helpful information about the medicine is effects on pregnant women and their growing babies unfortunately this is not the case +what is meant by positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia,positive symptoms of schizophrenia are those attributes

some kind of food poisoning it would be a good idea to get some acidophilus or yakult inside you to put back some good bugs inside your gut but you should be drinking plenty of water and try some very light soups at least it would be something going in and staying down stick to foods that are easily digested such as toast crackers bananas and rice until you begin to feel better avoid alcohol

lll pneumonia now i have this cough that sometimes is dry other times productive going on now for two months,immediately +what are the symptoms of whooping cough,it starts like a cold with congestion and upper respiratory symptoms after a week or so a cough develops the cough worsens over several days and the coughing fits may be so severe that you can not stop or catch your breath a coughing fit may be followed by a “whoop” as the person gasps to catch their breath it is these coughing fits called paroxysms which cause doctors to be worried about pertussis and try to confirm the diagnosis in people who have been vaccinated or who have had pertussis before the symptoms may be nonspecific pertussis is high on the list if that whoop is present but if it is absent pertussis may go unrecognized it is important to know that infants with pertussis do not always cough in young babies the first sign of pertussis may be difficulty breathing or pauses in breathing that last more than 20 seconds called “apnea ” apnea is serious and requires immediate medical attention for our infant 4mo daughter it started like a pretty normal cough 5 days later the cough had only gotten worse it went from one or two of the infant double cough pairs up to runs of 6 or 8 double cough pairs lasting more like ten seconds we took her to a walk in clinic for a persussis swab that day but she stopped breathing that night and turned blue we called the ambulance and it was a close call but still it is quite crazy how quickly it escalated if you do not hear the telltale whoop it can still be pertussis the whoop did not show up for us until after we had the apnea episodes and were already checked into the hospital the 50 or whatever for a walk in clinic could save your childs life if you end up in the hospital for a week like we did it will cost a lot more than that anyway if an infant is 6mo or older i would not be quick to run fearfully to the clinic but for young ones it is well

starch vegetable and some fat for example turkey sandwich with mayonnaise on whole grain bread with a fruit smoothie and carrots foods that are highest in calories and nutrients are foods with fat especially plant fats these include nuts peanuts seeds peanut butter almond butter avocados hummus and oils animal fats provide nutrients and the same amount of calories as plant fats but they also

treatment options for children with depression are similar to those for adults including psychotherapy counseling and medication the role that family and the child is environment play in the treatment process is different from that of adults your child is doctor may suggest psychotherapy first and consider antidepressant medicine as an additional option if there is no significant improvement the best studies to date indicate that a combination of psychotherapy and medication is most effective however studies do show that the antidepressant prozac is effective in treating depression in children and teens the drug is officially recognized by the fda for treatment of children 8 18 with depression treating children with bipolar disorder children with bipolar disorder are usually treated with psychotherapy and a combination of medicines usually an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer use of an antidepressant alone can trigger bouts of manic and hyperactive behavior the fda has determined that antidepressant medications increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children and adolescents with depression and other psychiatric disorders if you have questions or concerns discuss them with your health care provider +how rapidly should one is body fat composition change with diet and exercise,when we talk about acid peels what these are doing is that they are creating a controlled chemical burn of the skin these should be done by trained and qualified physicians ideally dermatologists or plastic surgeons what they can do depending on the concentration is cause an exfoliation of the skin that will reveal healthy newer skin behind it glycolic acids come in different strength they can be as low as a 5 up to a 70 and depending on whether or not it is buffered so how neutral it is what the ph of it is can affect how powerful that treatment is that needs to be neutralized in order to turn it off so the longer you leave it on the skin the longer the results last salicylic acid is often called a beta lift or a beta peel and this does not need to be neutralized so we have different concentrations it can be 20 30 and you have to be careful because this is absorbed into the body so we have to limit the body surface area that we apply we would not do the face and the back in one treatment because too much of the product would be absorbed and can cause systemic problems or problems internally so it does need to be done in a very careful and monitored way but it does turn off by itself afterwards you get red and you peel i like the beta or the salicylic acid peels for people who are more acne prone and the glycolic acids for general skin rejuvenation the lactic acid peels are more gentle in the alpha hydroxy or glycolic acid family of peels they tend to be better for more sensitive and more dry skin trichloric acetic acid peels tend to be very strong you have to be especially careful with these in as low as 10 concentration that tends to be very gentle but unlike the other peels every time you apply it you are getting a stronger concentration so if you take a 10 peel and you keep dabbing it over the spot you can get up to a 30 40 concentration so there is a lot of finesse that go around these products it is also self neutralizing which is good because it turns itself off but also we do not have a neutralizer for it so if you have too strong a product on your skin that can create a chemical burn that can be significant so these are treatments that should be done under the supervision or directly by your physician you need to be evaluated to make sure that your skin is healthy enough for this treatment and you need to know what to expect afterwards what the downtime is what the skincare is in order to get the best results out of them +is there a link between sleep and long term memory,a new study has found a direct link between sleep and the creation of long term memories scientists at washington university school of medicine have discovered a cluster of cells in the fruit fly brain that controls sleep by manipulating those cells scientists were able to establish long term memories in fruit flies by controlling their sleep habits using their ability to control the fruit flies sleep the scientists tested the insects ability to learn — and retain — information here is how they did it and what they found as a test of learning researchers exposed male fruit flies to other male flies that had been engineered to smell like female fruit flies after a few unsuccessful mating attempts the flies learned not to court these female in disguise flies without sleep the fruit flies retained this knowledge of the pretend female flies for a short period of time amounting to a few hours scientists put their fruit fly subjects to sleep after the courtship training with sleep the fruit flies were able to retain the same information for several days sleep enabled the fruit flies to convert short term knowledge into long term memory we have long known that there was a relationship between sleep memory and learning you do not have to be a scientist to have a sense of this think about your typical state of mind — and your inclination to retain new information — at the end of a long busy day our brains use sleep as the time to determine what information can be discarded and what is useful enough that it should be stored as longer term memories +when is the flu no longer contagious,formula or breast milk in sufficient amounts will make a baby gain weight it is okay to add some rice cereal and

out for a couple of seconds this evening i am just really sore and occasionally am getting sharp pains in my stomach,oh ouch so much for that whole working out is healthy thing right ha ha well i think you need to get this checked out i would suggest making an appointment with your primary care provider you may merely have strained a muscle but then again you could have torn one and that would require medical attention luckily the abdomen is protected with layer upon layer of muscle so it is not too likely you suffered say a bowel herniation or something nonetheless if you start running a fever or vomiting or develop any other unusual symptoms you might consider heading for an urgent care otherwise you are probably fine to just check in with your primary care provider and of course do not do any weightlifting of any kind until you are cleared by your doc to do so even leg work can strain your abs and you really need to rest them for now best wishes +i hurt my lower back now i am

frustrating symptom for all patients to deal with because this has been going on for some time you might want to get a medical evaluation to make sure you do not have a disease process that is causing the itching the fact that you have identified stress as a possible trigger tells me that while it may not be the source of your difficulty it certainly could be making it worse i would recommend that you look into stress reduction methods that are available in your area some schools and universities offer programs in stress reduction meditation yoga etc stress is hard on your entire body and could be negatively impacting other health systems as well as making your itching worse see what you can do about getting a diagnosis and try to learn to manage your stress levels +i had a snowboarding

diarrhea for 2 weeks now,most people who eliminate up sugar have a hard time the first week or so and then feel better after that the problem is that eventually most everyone who gives up sugar will eat it again and that is when the problems start a better strategy might be to cut back on sugar and try to find more wholesome forms of sweet foods instead of fighting against your sweet tooth which may cause the eventual over consumption honor sweet cravings by finding more wholesome options you can try a few squares of dark chocolate be mindful and savor it or bit of honey in your oatmeal that

health journey +does vicodin contain aspirin,in my view the role of fruit depends on the overall eating strategy if one is doing atkins or another very low carb approach then it can be problematic to eat more than a little fruit especially the higher glycemic ones like banana pineapple and grapes however for my patients who aim to follow my usual eating strategy focusing on vegetablesfruitslean proteins and lowfat dairy and minimizing all grains and fatty meats and dairy i have not been limiting their fruit intake with the exception of dried fruit limited to 14 cup daily at first i was a little hesitant to encourage fruit without limit but my experience with diabetes reversal has reinforced this strategy time and time again fruit has been crucially important for helping my patients stick to the plan most of these patients eat 3 pieces of fruit daily for example an apple an orange and a banana some patients eat even more i rarely have to intervene and ask a patient to reel it in on the fruit intake it helps so much with weight loss which offsets the rise in glucose levels that otherwise might occur another reason i can get away with prescribing unlimited fruit is because i am so strict about minimizing starch intake put it this way every type 2 patient i have coached into remission eats at least 2 servings of fruit per day +can i take hormone replacement therapy hrt

never experienced this before what could this mean,sorry to hear you are going through this nipple tenderness can be very painful and annoying the good news is if this is affecting both your nipples it is probably not something scary like cancer it would be unusual for cancer to arise in both breasts at once not to mention you are awfully young for that your sore nipples could be caused by simple dryness it is not uncommon at this time of year when furnaces get cranked up and dry out the air for the nipples to require moisturizing just like any other skin you might try applying hand lotion to the nipples to see if it solves the problem if you go braless and your nipples frequently rub against clothing that could also cause them to feel sore wearing a soft supportive bra might help along with moisturizing if you take hormonal birth control for example birth control pills it is possible your tender nipples relate to hormone issues if applying moisturizer does not help the problem i

not understand what they were speaking about when they said they had to clean out his leg due to infection could someone please tell me what this is called and what cause this to need to be done thank you_,the swelling is caused by too much fluid in the tissue which is called edema swollen feet legs and ankles are a very common problem that usually does not require treatment for example gravity often pulls fluid down into the feet when you have been walking all day this swelling usually goes away by the next day however edema that does not go away should be investigated by your healthcare provider edema can be caused by • venous stasis veins in the lower legs that do not work properly • being overweight • aging • blood clot in the leg • heart problems such as heart failure • injury or infection • excessive salt intake • pregnancy if you have swollen feet legs or ankles occasionally here is what you can do to help the swelling go down • raise your legs above the level of your heart by lying in bed or on a sofa with several pillows propping up your feet • exercise regularly which keeps your veins working well • reduce your salt consumption • wear support stockings made for men

urgent care and the doctor did not think it was food related because i did not have any breathing problems strep and flu test came back negative i was treated with antibiotics and steroids could this have been a food reaction,yes your symptoms could have been an allergic response not all allergic responses have breathing difficulties but most will have some degree of itching or hives symptoms you did not mention a swollen throat that suddenly came on after eating something certainly is suspicious of an allergic reaction a bacterial disease especially one that would require an antibiotic would typically not come on this sudden oral steroids can counteract an allergic reaction so perhaps that helped you yes it can be due to food allergy not all alergic reactions give breathing problems in severe reactions one can get symptom of breathlessness be cautious next time while eating stuff that you are allergic to +why am i losing my hair after weight loss surgery and how do i stop it i take biotin 7500mcg b complex vitamin a zinc and vitamin d supplements daily but my hair just falls out in handfuls i prefer not to wear a wig so any help would be appreciated,this could be nutritional and a lack of protein could be contributing it sounds like the nutritional supplements you are taking contain vitamins and minerals that can help with hair growth however after weight loss surgery a lack of protein in the diet can contribute to hair loss you need to talk to your doctor to determine the best ways for you to get more protein and to determine if that might be the cause you should eat a variety of types of protein including meat beans eggs rice etc +my husband and i had sex in a pool yesterday i am 7 weeks pregnant and now i am spotting and cramping is this normal,you will need to discuss this issue with your ob gyn someone who knows you and your case i cannot blindly determine if this bleeding and cramping is normal after having sex unless i had a way of determining the source of the blood your pregnancy is much too important to rely on internet advice so please contact you ob today some women need to be very careful during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy spotting could be

hoping for you it was nothing bed rest good luck hi see the above answer +having heart valve replacement surgery concerned about risk factors and other treatment options,headache has many causes and

really deep in her compared to last time we had sex here is an additional information her period started last january 5 and ended at 7 her period is normally around the first or second week of the month and lasts for 3 days ovulation is at the half of the cycle which would be on the 21 or 22 we are gonna take ecp before the 24th hour though please for us too god bless,hi found you this info do hope it helps all the way down to sorry your see why the normal volume varies from 1 5 to 5 0 milliliters per ejaculation 9or the loving spoonful or 10cc should ring a bell the sperm count varies from 20 to 150 million sperm per milliliter that means each time you ejaculate you put out tens of millions of sperm in one teaspoonful see the loving spoonful it only takes one sperm to fertilize one egg for a pregnancy at least 60 of the sperm should show normal forward movement motility you had 30 some factors which can reduce the percentage include alcohol tobacco drugs and time by time i mean the longer the sample of semen sits before it is analyzed the more the percentage will go down so my first question to you and the lab is did the lab do the motility analysis in the short time without waiting too long a repeat analysis of another very fresh sample may give you a much higher percent even so you have more than enough motility now for successful pregnancy when you marry normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results several factors reduce sperm motility exposure to heat possibly through the presence of a varicocele while sperm mature in the epididymis can damage sperm hindering their motility long periods of sexual inactivity can also adversely prevent motility studies have shown that poor motility is seen in the first ejaculate after a prolonged period of sexual inactivity whereas sperm motility improves in the following ejaculate reproductive health care providers can perform several procedures to improve sperm motility several products on the market claim to increase sperm motility some claim to provide proteins or enzymes needed for sperm to become healthy while some products are currently being tested no products have approval from the u s food and drug administration fda as of yet sorry for the humour so your 30 so your half way there but getting pregnant is all down to timing yes so your wifes cycle day one first day of her period day 14 give or take a day is ovulation day yes the day her egg drops now you need to have sex around 4 to 5 days before it takes 3 days for your sperm to get in place so by doing that your sperm is there just waiting for her egg and your sperm will live to 5 to 10 days depending where you read if all goes well on day 21 she should get some spotting if so this means the fertilised egg has buried itself in her womb if she then miss is her next period she then gets tested if all goes to plan you should end up with a baby do

penis did get a little red the problem is now my penis itchs i think becuse the skin is healing but idk ive never had a cold sore or had any sighs of harpies my penis looks fine except for one red line in the middle,most helpful answer the penis is covered with skin and skin can itch for a variety of reasons without an examination it would only be a blind guess to know the specific reason for your itching it could be soap laundry detergents or dryer softeners in your underwear causing an allergic reaction it could be fungal fungus loves warm dark moist areas simple itching not due to

evaluation in the meantime drink plenty of water this will thin your mucous humidify the air humidifier or a hot steamy shower and consider trying a decongestant during the day if the underlying cause

help repair damage from peyronie is diease as well as other claims,i think what you are experiencing is indeed normal at least if it is absent other signs or symptoms such as a fever you do not say if you are experiencing pain at the incision sites or in the area where your appendix used to be either way it is possible some of this pain is due to the development of scar tissue scar tissue will form wherever healthy tissue was cut scar tissue is kind of fibrous and can contract which could give you that pain you are experiencing when you try to stretch the good news is the pain probably will go away eventually if it is caused by scar tissue this may relax or break down so it is not so tight if the pain is caused by general post surgical tissue inflammation that also should calm down as the tissue fully repairs itself if you experience a fever or any systemic symptoms you should seek medical attention but if you are just experiencing minor pain you might give it awhile and see if this improves if not by all means revisit your doctor wishing you well +is chicken box related to herpes,in my opinion you must be suffering gastric related disorder and cefdinir is not to be blamed for

different to a non smoker a person who is not diligent in their personal hygiene practices can have all sorts of body odors i have set with plenty of them on a crowded plane there may be a smell of

step bd study almost half of those who recovered still had lingering symptoms these people experienced a relapse or recurrence that was usually a return to a depressive state if a person had a mental illness in addition to bipolar disorder he or she was more likely to experience a relapse scientists are unsure however how these other illnesses or lingering symptoms increase the chance of relapse

under 3 months of age needs prompt medical attention because at that age it is hard to tell when a serious infection might be present a fever is the body is natural response to infection or other illness and will subside when the underlying process gets better other than treating the infection or other condition causing it no home treatments can shorten the duration of a fever also remember that fever does not always need to be treated if a toddler is acting normally and unbothered by her fever and her temperature is less than 104 degrees 40 degrees celsius there is no need to treat the fever for a fever that is high or is bothering your toddler either acetaminophen mapap tylenol or ibuprofen advil motrin are good treatments you will need to know your toddler is weight do not guess and use the dosing guidelines on the package it is best to stick with one medicine if you can if you feel you need to use multiple drugs call your pediatrician is office do not ever use aspirin to treat a child is fever as it increases the risk for reye is syndrome if sponging with water helps your child with a fever feel better use a warm bath not cool with water around 85 degrees i know it sounds weird but my great granny used to cut an onion in half and put one half on the bottom of each foot then cover with socks and leave them on me all night in addition to tylenol or advil when i would wake up in the morning my fever would be gone or at least drasticly reduced and the onions in my socks would be black she said the onions drew the fever away from the brain and other vital organs i do not unserstand how it works but i used this on my children and now on my grands and it works every time it helps to understand what a fever is some of the answers on here are very misleading and are not factual at all a fever occurs when the body increases in temperature most common cause of this is an infection of some kind the white blood cells that eat the infection release chemicals that go to the brain and tell it to raise the temperature of the body the brain has a set point for our temperature 98 6f it is like a central heatingcooling system with a thermostat in a house if the temp gets hot the ac turns on if it gets to cold the heater kicks on and the temperature stays at 98 6f what these chemicals from the white blood cells do is they increase the thermostat so the brain now has a set point of 101 f but the body is still 98 6 f so the heater kicks on you get shivers moving of muscles fast makes heat you +my mole has gone very hard like a scab hello

this true,i read your query and understood your concerns from the available description it is clear that you are having frontal sinusitis which can explain all of your symptoms except tingling sensation in groin presence of pain on touch tenderness pain while in reclining position and coincidence of pain with post nasal drip favors the clear cut diagnosis one thing is that the episodic nature of pain which is not common with frontal sinusitis but can occur in few cases i feel that pain over left eye and tingling sensation is not casually related as there is no condition which can explain both these symptoms on basis of single disease the one possibility is anxiety associated with recurrent pain can be cause of tingling over the groin area although constant nature of tingling on same location points against anxiety we can expect that complete neurological examination will reveal the true nature of association at this moment i must assure you that this is not something serious and get yourself treated for sinusitis to break the event of chains for further information consult a neurologist online > +why am i still having a bloody discharge and now it has a very foul

to evaluate or test people for parkinsons disease,a diagnosis of parkinson is disease is based on your medical history and a thorough neurological exam your doctor also may check your sense of smell sometimes your doctor will have you try a medicine for parkinson is disease if that medicine helps your symptoms it may help the doctor find out if you have parkinson is disease there are no lab tests that can diagnose parkinson is disease if your symptoms and the doctor is findings during the examination are not entirely typical of parkinson is disease certain tests may be done to help diagnose other conditions with similar symptoms for instance blood tests may be done to check for abnormal thyroid hormone levels or liver damage an imaging test such as a ct scan or an mri may be used to check for signs of a stroke or brain tumor another type of imaging test called pet sometimes may detect low levels of dopamine in the brain a key feature of parkinson is disease however pet scanning is not commonly used to evaluate parkinson is disease because it is very expensive is not available in many hospitals and is only used experimentally early detection for some diseases doctors can do

wrinkle night cream as a preventative,‘tis the season i love that this is the time of year for one of the most powerful antioxidants we can eat the great news for us is that in november and december most grocery stores carry fresh and organic cranberries the age old jelly out of a can that is traditionally served at thanksgiving does not hold a candle to the different varieties of things you can do with fresh ingredients whole cranberries are extremely tart so you will need to sweeten them i usually use agave nectar but you can use brown sugar honey or regular sugar depending on the amount in the morning you can add some frozen or fresh whole berries into a smoothie for a tart and unusual flavor blend with strawberry blueberries or raspberries these berries are also excellent to add to a high fiber muffin take the fresh cranberries into lunch and dinner by using as a spread on a turkey sandwich or served with grilled chicken a simple cooked sauce made with juice and zest of an orange agave nectar and cranberries can be chilled and served with brie cheese for an appetizer another great use for fresh cranberries is baked in a dessert with apples or pears the combination of color texture and taste is fantastic again you may have to add a tablespoon of extra agave or sugar to balance out the tartness of the cranberry one of my favorite and more unusual recipes made with fresh cranberries is my cranberry balsamic and mint relish this takes only minutes to make in your food processor you put fresh cranberries orange zest brown sugar fresh ginger mint and balsamic vinegar

depoprovera 1 new infection with chlamydia this is less likely unless you have a new sexual partner or a partner with multiple other partners 2 stress many women using hormonal birth control pillspatchesringshot have had an apparent correlation between life stress and spotting on their birth control method i have also seen this occur in a couple of my postmenopausal patients yet there are no good studies in the medical literature on this phenomenon if there is a connection between life stress and the adrenal gland hormones that can be converted to weak estrogens that might be a trigger for breakthrough bleeding 3 normal effects of the depoprovera shot on the lining of the uterus simply stated if the uterine lining is like grass or lawn estrogen is like the fertilizer causes a thickening of the lining and progesterone is like the lawnmower keeps the lining thin by three different mechanisms this is why depoprovera high dose synthetic progesterone brings about a thin lining and why birth control pills relatively progesterone dominant bring about shorter lighter periods if the lining of the uterus gets very thin it can prompt more breakthrough bleeding since it has been a month of constant spotting i would urge you to return to the gyn or clinic who administers your depoprovera they can check for infections if needed and can give you a more for sure answer about the spotting if someone is having very heavy breakthrough bleeding a short course of low dose estrogen pills can sometimes terminate the spotting +i am only 31 but experiencing health issues associated

has showing up on my inner thighs why is this happening and what can i do to stop this,as a plastic and reconstructive surgery nurse i worked with many women who had large breasts that caused rashes or neck pain here is what i can tell you the type of procedure you are looking for is breast reduction not augmentation breast reduction surgery will reduce the overall size of your breasts as well as perking them up so they sit in a more natural position many insurance companies will cover breast reduction under certain conditions for example serious neck pain that does not respond to any other treatment like physical therapy and can be attributed to large breasts may be covered with rashes insurance companies seem in my experience less likely to cover breast reduction unless the rashes recur frequently and have not responded to other treatments you need to have documentation that you have seen your primary care provider multiple times and have tried prescription creams or whatever without clearing up the rashes for more than short periods of time also with rashes your insurance may be less likely to cover the procedure if you are obese because in theory reducing the size of your abdomen might help the rash problem if you have tried without success to medically treat the rashes i would suggest you schedule an appointment with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon to discuss your options he or she will not be able to tell you if your insurance will cover a breast reduction but the surgeon can give you an opinion on whether you might benefit from breast reduction and can submit the claim for prior authorization after that it is up to the individual insurer you need to know that breast reduction can impair your ability to nurse a baby it is doubtful you would be completely unable to nurse but removing breast tissue does reduce the number of milk ducts which can reduce the volume of milk your baby is able to get from nursing hope this helps +are std is

bi polar disorder since he was three initially diagnosed as adhd ocd odd and anxiety nos i knew there was a problem from birth because he never slept through the night with symptoms straight out of a textbook and after exhaustive testing i was finally able to locate a physician who was not afraid to medicate my son no one wants to medicate a child and rightly so however after the aforementioned textbook symptoms became evidenced on a daily basis there was no denying either the diagnosis or the medication regimen necessary to treat him to a lesser degree my son also suffers from social phobia and obesity the former supported in peer interaction and the latter due to medication last of all he suffers from body aches all over muscular skeletal pain he has always complained of neck and back pain originally attributed to growth spurts which he describes as wouldeep and into the bone rather than something akin to pulled muscles stretching massage and chiropractic appear to help to some degree however real sustained relief has never been achieved unfortunately my son is psychiatrist has not been able to find literature supporting my contention that his body pain is also related to his bpd these aches have been a consistent complaint since my son was first active and able to really articulate his feelings he is an active teen basketball bike riding etc and when he comes in for the day he is almost never without complaint i do believe his body pain is related to either his diagnosis or his medication he is on six but i am unable to prove this theory i also know as my son ages and grows he may evidence other signs and symptoms of this disease thus far we have been fortunate that he has not suffered any suicidal ideation substance abuse or metabolic syndrome however as he becomes an adult and is tasked with making his own decisions i can only hope he we is are able to maintain the status quo +if i purchase an aetna plan and qualify for a subsidy will my network of

symptoms,hyperthyroidism can be suspected in patients with tremors excessive sweating smooth velvety skin fine hair a rapid heart rate an enlarged thyroid gland there may be puffiness around the eyes and a characteristic stare because of the elevation of the upper eyelids advanced symptoms are easily detected but early symptoms especially in the elderly may be quite inconspicuous in all cases a blood test is needed to confirm the diagnosis the blood levels of thyroid hormones can be measured directly and usually are elevated with hyperthyroidism however the main tool for detection of hyperthyroidism is measurement of the blood thyroid stimulating hormone tsh level tsh is secreted by the pituitary gland if an excess amount of thyroid hormone is present tsh is down regulated and the level of tsh falls in an attempt to reduce production of thyroid hormone thus the measurement of tsh should result in low or undetectable levels in cases of hyperthyroidism however there is one exception if the excessive amount of thyroid hormone is due to a tsh secreting pituitary tumor then the levels of tsh will be abnormally high this uncommon disease is known as secondary hyperthyroidism although the blood tests mentioned previously can confirm the presence of excessive thyroid hormone they do not point to a specific cause if there is obvious involvement of the eyes a diagnosis of graves disease is almost certain a combination of antibody screening for graves disease and a thyroid scan using radioactively labelled iodine which concentrates in the thyroid gland can help diagnose the underlying thyroid disease these studies are chosen on a case by case basis +how can i know if my coldflu has become bacterial so i can take a ampicillin i am aware that ampicillin

vomit could this cause a problem with gastric bypass,a change in your skin type may be caused by your skin care regimen make sure that you are not using products that are over drying your skin because that will lead to increased oil gland production you should exclude any underlying skin conditions such as eczema psoriasis or seborrhea that may alter your skin is oil production you may also have combination skin elements of dry and oily skin because the nose chin center of the forehead and the cheeks all have more oil glands than any other part of the face it is not surprising that those areas tend to be oilier and may break out more frequently than other areas at the same time the areas that lack oil glands can become dry and flaky problems occur when you attempt to treat combination skin as one specific skin type many ingredients that are appropriate for the t zone the area along the center of the forehead and down the nose where most of the active oil glands on the face are located will not help the drier parts of cheeks eyes or jaws and vice versa more often than not separate products are required to deal with the different skin types on your face because different skin types even on the same face must be treated differently to truly feel and look better once you accept this fact and adjust your routine combination skin can be brought into balance at least to the extent that using the right products allows if anything using overly abrasive or irritating skin care products on oilier areas will only worsen combination skin is dual nature by making dry areas drier and creating a rough reddened appearance over oily areas plus treating skin harshly does not correct or improve oiliness in any way because combination skin should be viewed and treated as separate skin types +what if my breasts havent grown enough during pregnancy will this affect milk formation also my breast does not seem to be firm its feels loose and saggy yet small,hi yes relapse

a schedule i substance it remains to be seen if this will change as some states have voted to legalize marijuana and claim it has medicinal properties schedule ii substances include narcotics that are deemed to have therapeutic benefits yet maintain a high potential for abuse these include morphine fentanyl and even mixed amphetamine salts the brand name adderall so basically the difference between schedule i substances and schedule ii is simply in whether or not a drug is deemed to have a valid medical application hope that clears things up for you in the u s prescription drugs are categorized

doctors who prescribe sex to treat diabetes but after hearing a recent lecture i am starting to wonder “why not ” there is a general notion that sex is favorable to good health but most doctors do not specifically encourage their patients to have more sex naturally we do not want to encourage unprotected or unsafe sex associated with sexually transmitted diseases or sex that leads to unwanted pregnancies also we do not want to encourage reckless sex that leads to car accidents or dislocated hips or other unforeseen injuries and the last thing we want is for someone to have a heart attack during sex and blame us for it however i can not think of a single patient i treat who is likely to have any of those “bad outcomes” from having more sex having a heart attack during sex is very rare and in fact increased sexual frequency is associated with reduced risk of heart disease and is encouraged after recovering from a heart attack sex is one form of exercise that most people like it is good for the heart and circulation and helps maintain good blood flow to the sex organs “use it or lose it” is a fair statement particularly in older people and those with diabetes erectile dysfunction occurs in over half of men with diabetes especially after several years of poor blood sugar control and maintaining sexual frequency may potentially help delay or avoid erectile dysfunction not surprisingly eating right and exercising can help partially reverse erectile dysfunction in men by improving blood pressure blood flow body fat and hormone levels women with diabetes may also be at increased risk for sexual problems and it stands to reason that maintaining an active sex life may help prevent such problems healthy sleep habits are very important for diabetes management – and sex and sleep are closely related enough to be considered “bedfellows” perhaps sex improves sleep and vice versa similarly problems with sleep can interfere with sex sex releases hormones that help promote sleep especially in men and sleep promotes hormones that favor good blood sugar control and appetite control by the same token inadequate sleep quality or quantity promotes hormones that worsen blood sugar control appetite weight gain diabetes and heart disease so here we have a cycle of gradually decreasing health sleep and sex over time as one aspect worsens the others may too on and on it goes the shame of it is that people generally like sex and sleep and feeling good can we break the cycle is it as simple as turning off the tv an hour earlier and having more sex unfortunately it is not always so simple doctors are in a great position to help patients recognize and reverse this cycle and should embrace the power of healthy sexuality to fight chronic illness

lying about it i am not saying that mistakes can happen but they are very rare i truly hope that is the case i have been clean my whole pregnancy & never touched amphetamines before thank you for your answer +what problems could develop with a dental crown,i am sorry to hear you are going through this few things are as painful as leg cramps two common causes of lower leg cramps are dehydration and low potassium levels in the blood so your first potential solution is to simply drink more water if you have high blood pressure you should consult your physician before you substantially increase your water intake but in general drinking a few extra glasses of water a day is not going to hurt you if you have high blood pressure and take a water pill diuretic you should find out if it is a potassium sparing type of not if your diuretic is not potassium sparing you should be taking a prescription potassium pill again if you are uncertain about these things you should consult your doctor i do not recommend people run out and start taking potassium supplements which you can buy over the counter to cure leg cramps potassium is a key mineral for heart function and overdosing on potassium can cause serious heart rhythm abnormalities however eating potassium rich foods like sweet potatoes tomato sauce and whole beans like navy beans or pinto beans not only will increase your serum blood potassium levels to possibly help the leg cramps but they will be diet friendly for your diabetes everything i have told you here is based on the assumption you do not have a lot of other health issues besides the diabetes going on and that you do not take a lot of medications many medications and co existing medical conditions can cause lower leg cramps so it is always a good idea to let your medical professional know what is going on wishing you well +i have a cerbaseous cyst on my back that has developed an infection,see your doctor or better yet a dermatologist any changing mole should be carefully examined +i have asthma and was recently diagnosed can cold weather and walking in it trigger asthma it happened to me,this is a very common problem in women and when you have a diagnosis it is a relief in some ways because now we can direct treatment for it so what i like the most for polycystic ovary syndrome is all contraceptives and sometimes combined with a diuretic called aldactone and the generic name is spironolactone i find that these two together not only help balance out the hormones but also help regrow the hair oftentimes in polycystic ovary syndrome we see a triad of changes we see irregular periods along with often severe acne and hair loss on the scalp and there is also another component which may be increased hair growth on the upper lip or chin as well sometimes people have regular periods and so the diagnosis is missed because the endocrinologist or ob thinks that it can not be polycystic ovary syndrome because it can not measure the hormone imbalance but when you have those other effects of hair loss on the scalp acne hair growth on the face and sometimes with or without weight change going on oral contraceptives can help and adding aldactone or spironolactone can help as well it is very important to treat it because women who have this syndrome are at increased risk of diabetes and also heart disease later in life so it is not just an esthetic or how you look that matters it is your overall health that can be affected so you should definitely have it treated +does medicare cover shingles vaccine,yes this is an

include prescription drugs and they do not offer it at this time are there any insurance companies that offer prescription drugs insurance only,if you are buying a new insurance policy it must include

in general a high white blood count number might be defined as 10 i am not going to go into all the specifics of what that number refers to but a wbc result of 11 may be no cause for alarm and some people naturally have higher or lower results for various blood tests for example if a person always tests at 10 5 for wbc we say they live at that number in other words that number is normal for them other things that can cause a wbc number to be high are a chronic infection certain vitamins or herbs certain diets and other things if you have consistently had a high white blood cell count but your health care provider is not concerned i would suggest asking him or her about it if you test was borderline high such as 10 10 5 or 11 your provider may feel you simply have a naturally robust white blood cell count i hope this helps +i have got a wrist and palm injury in my right hand,hi first of all its not related to her father you should do physical therapy which is the only option you have

bloodwork said extremely low now im extremely high what next,it is difficult to give you a straight answer without a bit more background information but let me at least explain a common misconception about thyroid lab tests and results so that you can talk to your healthcare provider about your concerns usually thyroid function is measured using a blood test that looks at tsh thyroid stimulating hormone a high tsh number means a low level of circulating thyroid hormone in your blood that seems backwards does not it a low tsh number means you have a higher level of thyroid hormone in your blood so if your tsh lab result was high you may still be hypothyroid if your tsh lab result was low you may be considered in the normal range or in the hyperthyroid range if in fact you have moved from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism overactive thyroid gland your healthcare provider will discuss ways of treating this condition in general thyroid disorders are highly treatable you should make an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss your recent lab results and what they mean that way you will have peace of mind about what is really going on and what treatment options are

off a cold virus +fear of needles for long as i can remember i have not had blood draw in 27 years i can not overcome this fear i have had fear of needles for long as i can remember in my childhood my mother was a hypochondriac and took me to the doctor many times i must have had numerous injections at that time but i have blocked out all memory of that in the last 31 years i have only had a blood draw twice once at age 14 and at age 19 i do not know how i went through it at that time now at age 46 i could not imagine having my blood drawn i understand this is irrational i do not know how to overcome this fear,ok so let is back up a moment and run through what shingles is how it gets transmitted and what effect it has on different groups of people shingles is caused by the varicella virus this is the same virus that causes chickenpox you cannot get shingles unless you have had chickenpox if you have had chickenpox you cannot catch shingles from coming in contact with someone who has shingles however people who never had chickenpox and have not been vaccinated for it can get chickenpox by coming into contact with the active weeping blisters of someone with shingles once the blisters crust over they are generally considered to be non infectious it is uncommon for people to develop chickenpox from exposure to shingles under any circumstances and i would think it nearly impossible under the circumstances you describe i can understand why you feel the need to take serious precautions but i think your loved ones can rest easy i doubt you could carry the shingles virus to them especially from indirect contact with someone whose rash is at least two weeks old wishing you well +i had an itchy spot on my vagina i grabbed a wipe to clean the area and it bled when i

it would not be prudent from me to try and make a blind diagnosis blindly over the internet based solely on a brief description you should see a medical professional if this problem continues and yes a gyn or women is health specialist would be best if you went to an er not only would you wait hours since this is not an emergency pay too much money and perhaps get a medical provider who is not experienced in this delicate area some urgent care facilities have experienced and talented women is health care specialists so this would be less expensive +i am disabled due to a lung transplant i am 62 years old i am on social security medicare insurance a&b have my part d through humana and i have a supplemental policy through american family how hard will it be for me to change my

last dose harmful,no not really i mean it is best to take all medications on a close schedule in other words if a medication is taken once every 24 hours or daily it is a good idea to try to take it exactly every 24 hours but as nurses our guideline is you can administer a medication within a one hour window on either side of the appointed time and still be considered on schedule that means you could take the blood pressure pill at the 23 hour mark or the 25 hour mark and still be considered on schedule but honestly take a daily pill within a four hour window probably is not going to cause any problems i would try not to make a habit of it but if that is what works for you today you should be fine hope this helps +what happens to hcg levels after you have a miscarriage if you get

sensation at the anus you are squeezing the correct muscles figure out how to fit the exercises also called kegel exercises into your daily routine and you are there it may take 4 6 weeks of doing the exercises before you notice a change so be patient a regular kegel exercise routine may also help improve sexual response in men and women and may prevent other problems like stool incontinence and

people with both copd and heart failure cannot distinguish between the symptoms of each condition doctors cannot consistently or accurately tell the two apart either when someone with both heart failure and copd seeks help for breathing difficulty a doctor may use various tests to gauge the activity of each condition including physical examination listening to the lungs and heart and looking

additional surgeries on a patient even if they are considered by the patient as corrective i urge you to discuss your concerns directly with your surgeon as a former surgical nurse i have never known

options because biliary pain usually is intermittent and often seems to come on after eating fatty foods you can try avoiding fatty foods to see if this helps the pain go away another option is

lower but that represents the water you lost from sweating and will increase as soon as you replace those lost fluids which you need to do so you do not become dehydrated while being exposed to high temps can increase your metabolism and slightly increase the number of calories you burn this is only because your body is working to keep your temperature within normal ranges once you leave the

available over the counter the maximum recommended dose of zyrtec is 10mg per day studies have been done in people with chronic hives comparing the 10 mg to the 20 mg dose of zyrtec and no advantage was seen with the higher dose the recommended dose of zyrtec is not based on weight and height whenever you take a higher than recommended dose of a medication you increase your risk of side effects

sedation zyrtec use has also been associated with liver damage in rare individuals play it safe and stick with the recommended dose talk with your doctor about using zyrtec and whether the benefits of increasing the dose outweigh the risks i am a conservative medical provider so i rarely if ever push the recommended dosages on zyrtec or any drug these things are carefully studied during the clinical trials so taking two may not be considered toxic or dangerous for a short period of time even for a big guy but this dose is not recommended like many drugs this one is excreted by your

question peanut allergy is one of the most severe food allergies it can cause itchiness urticaria swelling eczema sneezing asthma abdominal pain drop in blood pressure and cardiac arrest it may even

is generally easily diagnosed based on a physical exam and visual inspection of the skin by a physician or dermatologist additionally the history given by the patient and contributory family history

laboratory test that says unequivocally this is atopic dermatitis a skin biopsy a sample of a small piece of skin that is sent to the lab for examination under the microscope may be helpful to establish the diagnosis in harder cases additionally gentle skin swabs long cotton tip applicator or q tip samples may be sent to the lab to exclude infections of the skin which may mimic atopic dermatitis since itching tends to be the main common symptom of the disease for many patients it is not possible to say all itching is atopic dermatitis itching may be seen in many other medical conditions that have nothing to do with eczema each patient experiences a unique combination of symptoms and the symptoms and severity of the disease may vary over time the doctor bases the diagnosis on the individual is symptoms and may need to see the patient several times to make an accurate diagnosis it is important for the doctor to rule out other diseases and conditions that might cause skin irritation in some cases the family doctor or pediatrician may refer the patient to a dermatologist or allergist allergy specialist for further evaluation a valuable diagnostic tool is a thorough medical history which provides important clues as to the possible causes of the patient is ailment the doctor may ask about all of the following a family history of allergic disease whether the patient also has diseases such as hay fever or asthma exposure to irritants sleep disturbances any foods that seem to be related to skin flares previous treatments for skin related symptoms use of steroids and the effects of symptoms on schoolwork career or social life sometimes it is necessary to do a biopsy of the skin or patch testing to determine if the skin is immune system overreacts to

suspected allergen and blood tests for airborne allergens generally are not as useful in diagnosing atopic dermatitis as a medical history and careful observation of symptoms however they may

during which you are most likely to dream waking up out of a deep stage 3 or stage 4 sleep is notoriously difficult that is why being awakened from a nap can be so disorienting it is also why waking

inr comes from the conversion of another value the prothrombin time pt prothrombin time is the time it takes for blood to clot in a test tube a high or low pt can suggest bleeding or clotting tendencies most often the pt is checked to monitor a person is response to blood thinners such as warfarin coumadin the problem with prothrombin time testing is that several manufacturers produce and sell slightly different pt tests to laboratories the same person is blood might have different results if tested on two different companies pt tests to solve this problem the international normalized ratio inr was created by entering a pt result into a math formula it yields the inr the international normalized ratio means one lab is test results can be compared to another is with high accuracy a normal inr is approximately 1 0 people taking the blood thinner warfarin typically have a target inr of 2 0 to 3 0 people with an inr higher than the normal range who are not taking warfarin may have

cupful,the good news is that most people do not have to drastically change their diet when they start on the blood thinner warfarin coumadin but you do have to pay close attention to what you are eating the goal is to keep the level of vitamin k about the same from day to day you can do this by knowing which foods have a lot of vitamin k and not making any big changes in how much of them you are eating each day foods that have a lot of vitamin k include most of the green leafy vegetables like spinach kale lettuce cabbage swiss chard endive and seaweed greens such as turnip collard and mustard are all high in vitamin k as well other vegetables that contain a lot of vitamin k are cauliflower broccoli and asparagus liver is also high in vitamin k other things to watch out for include green tea canola oil and soybean oil peanuts and potatoes do not have a large amount of vitamin k but watch out for cashews and pine nuts they have a bit more vitamin k so eat them sparingly so what does all this mean if you have always had a salad for lunch then it is probably fine to keep eating one every day as long as it is ok with your doctor if you want broccoli or asparagus with your dinner for a change then it would be best to skip the salad that day and remember to keep your portions small liver has a lot of cholesterol so i would recommend skipping that altogether if your doctor has recommended a multivitamin make sure you take it every day they usually have vitamin k in them as well so you want to be consistent talk to your doctor before making any changes in your

way to increase my height in few inches 2 3 before the growth plates closed i am 20 years old male and my height is 52 my father is also that height but my younger brother18y is 5 7 if it is a genetic problem how my brother is taller then me i am doing so many exercises and i take calcium pills every other night but can not see any growing up since i started to exercise since few months i really need to grow taller without taking bad pills and painful surgeries please tell me how to grow up taller before it naturally stops,the growth plates closes in most humans somewhere in the range of 13 years to 22 years of age since you are 20 years old and your father is also 52 your maximum height has probably already been reached the honest truth is that 5 2 is an acceptable height the laws of genetics sometimes provide for traits that can vary greatly from sibling to sibling in my own family there were six 6 boys three of them had brown colored eyes while the other three 3 had green eyes blood types were also evenly divided between o and a two 2 of the brothers were five 5 inches taller than the other four 4 brothers you can see a endocrinologist about any recent developments in the field of growth this specialist in diagnosing and treating hormonal issues may assess your height and make recommendations based on current medical science hgh is a drug that is available used to treat children who are short of stature my last remembrance is that the fda has not granted approval for hgh to be prescribed for adults unless they have some other acceptable medical condition besides the short stature condition this medication also comes with many potential side effects and can cost between 10 000 00 and 30 000 00 for treatment it may not seem fair right now to be 52 at 20 years old but most other people do not really care about that one 1 physical trait as times goes by and your comfort level as an adult increases you will also feel very comfortable with being 52 tall

improve the goals of treatment with medication are to treat the infection which is usually caused by bacteria if your symptoms have lasted more than 7 to 10 days relieve pressure and pain caused by poor sinus drainage reduce inflammation of the nose and sinuses caused by allergies antibiotic treatment is successful in most cases of short term acute sinusitis when it is caused by bacteria you should notice improvement within 3 to 4 days after you begin taking an antibiotic the number of days you take antibiotics depends on the antibiotic and the severity of the infection it takes weeks and sometimes months for the mucous membranes that line the sinuses to fully heal after an infection so some minor symptoms may continue during this time you are more likely to develop another sinus infection while the membrane is still healing chronic sinusitis may last 8 weeks or longer and usually requires 3 to 4 weeks of antibiotic treatment symptoms may persist or return despite adequate antibiotic treatment a different antibiotic may be needed to treat the infection referral to an ear nose and throat ent specialist also called an otolaryngologist may be needed if symptoms of sinusitis do not go away despite long term antibiotic treatment medications are used and sometimes combined to treat sinusitis antibiotics kill bacteria a few examples of antibiotics used are amoxicillin amoxil and trimox and cefdinir omnicef decongestants reduce the swelling of the mucous membranes in the nose some examples may include oxymetazoline hydrochloride afrin and phenylephrine hydrochloride neo synephrine analgesics such as aspirin acetaminophen or ibuprofen are used to relieve pain corticosteroids such as beclomethasone dipropionate monhydrate beconase aq or prednisone reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and may be given as an inhaled nasal spray mucolytics such as guaifenesin robitussin are used to thin the mucus if you are taking antibiotics for a sinus infection do not stop taking the antibiotics early just because you feel better take the entire course of antibiotics the infection may not go away if you do not take all of the antibiotics prescribed by your health professional more powerful antibiotics may be needed to kill bacteria that persist if there is no improvement after trying a first line antibiotic stronger antibiotics can be very costly and may have more side effects fungal sinusitis which accounts for a significant number of chronic sinusitis cases does not respond to antibiotic treatment it may need treatment with antifungal

clinical condition and molecular tests for cystic fibrosis can be done to clarify the diagnosis +i get eczema on my legs every summer my skin looks awful what stuff can i get from the drugstore to help my skin,it is really important to moisturize effectively sometimes just a little bit of dry skin can make your skin itchy and once you start that itch scratch cycle it can be relentless and very painful i have seen people scratch till they bleed sometimes then when that heals it heals with discoloration and that can last a very long time especially when it is below the knee which is the slowest part of the body to heal so the first and most important thing you do is to hydrate the skin this is done first in the bath or shower so a 10 15 minute bath or shower you can use an oatmeal powder in the bath if you like or a gentle cleanser then as soon as you step out just pat your skin dry so it is still damp and then use a very hydrating moisturizer by this i mean a cream or an ointment not a lotion not an oil because those are too water based too light and will actually help you lose more water from the skin so you need something more rich and emollient on top of that you can put on a white cotton sock or even a plastic lining obviously not too tight you do not want to suffocate your leg but something that is going to help lock that moisture and water into the skin so you can put a plastic wrap on top and then put a sock over it to help really lock that moisture in and that also keeps your hands away from scratching at it +can i be pregnant my last period was on

the verge of ovulating assuming your period started on 108 the date of 1017 would be right around your fertile window so yes you could possibly be pregnant keep in mind fertility calculators like the one i linked to above are not foolproof the ovaries do not consult a calendar before popping out an egg so you could possibly ovulate before a calendar says you are fertile or after if your period was due 112 you certainly could take an over the counter pregnancy test now to see if you are pregnant or not i wish you the result you desire +brownish discoloration on my left leg,not unless the

ulcerative colitis can interfere with your getting all the nutrients you need from the food you eat a well balanced diet is the first step in guarding against malnutrition you need to eat a variety of foods from the various food groups and make sure that you are getting adequate protein and calories working with a dietitian will make it easier to plan meals that address your nutritional needs but even with a well designed meal plan you may still need some of the following supplements keep in mind that actual deficiencies vary from person to person so before taking supplements discuss your nutritional status with your doctor vitamin d your body needs vitamin d to maintain strong bones it also plays a role in how your immune system functions low levels of vitamin d are common among the general adult population if you have ulcerative colitis especially if you take steroids your risk of a vitamin d deficiency along with the accompanying risk of osteoporosis is very high this risk is compounded by the fact that many people with ulcerative colitis restrict the amount of dairy products they consume to help reduce diarrhea yet dairy foods are good sources for vitamin d ask your doctor if you should be taking a vitamin d supplement experts differ in their recommendations for vitamin d supplementation so talk to your doctor about the best option for you calcium calcium is the mineral your body uses to build bones your body also uses it in multiple other ways such as helping muscles contract or sending messages through the nervous system if your system does not have enough calcium the body removes it from the bones causing them to become brittle and leading to the development of osteoporosis avoiding dairy products along with the effect various medicines have on calcium makes a calcium deficiency a strong possibility with ulcerative colitis if your doctor recommends taking a calcium supplement you will probably need 1 000 to 1 200 milligrams per day iron people with ulcerative colitis can lose iron through bleeding from the sores in the colon not having enough iron can lead to anemia a lack of iron means your body can not make enough healthy red blood cells to transport an adequate supply of oxygen throughout your body with anemia you may feel tired a lot have a fast or irregular heartbeat dizziness problems thinking and other symptoms your doctor can tell if you have an iron deficiency with a blood test if you do the doctor will probably recommend you take an iron supplement folate or folic acid folic acid is a b vitamin that your body needs to make

presented it to women i remember i was dealing with webmd at that point and coming on line and talking to all the women and telling them not to stop their hormones if anything to switch over to the natural progesterone but what had happened was the study was really done on synthetic hormones and women who started 10 years after the fact always my recommendation to women when they go on hormone replacement therapy they do it around the perimenopause when they are having the maximum symptoms that they take it for menopausal symptoms and they take the least amount they need to control their symptoms and for the shortest amount of time that they need to take it so that they are not getting into twenty years down the line of continuous hormonal replacement therapy and getting into trouble

have stretch marks on my calves inner thighs and hips cocoa butter diminished the redness what else will help,the answer depends on many different things since your weight the type of exercise how intense you are doing each exercise and how long you do each exercise will all influence how many calories you burn simply put however i would say that you have the potential to burn the most calories by running followed by biking and lastly by using the elliptical one way to measure how many calories you burn during exercise is to look at metabolic equivalents mets mets are a way to measure and gauge the amount of energy you burn during physical activity with 1 met being equal to the energy you burn simply being at rest for instance running at a 10 minute mile pace is roughly the equivalent of 10 mets or ten times the calories you burn at rest unfortunately there really is no good answer for how many mets you burn while using an elliptical a study entitled “2011 compendium of physical activities a second update of codes and met values” only lists using an elliptical at a moderate intensity which was the equivalent of 5 mets for comparison bicycling with a moderate effort 12 13 9mph is 8 mets you can find a comprehensive list of mets by doing an internet search for “compendium of physical activities tracking guide” websites utilizing a formula involving these met values for each type of exercise along with your weight and the duration can help to estimate how many calories you will burn during exercise keep in mind that these are just based off of averages but one such site is play around with the types of activities and the duration of the activity to see what can provide you with the most calories burned +i drank 4 cups of fruit soda so i have anxiety i drank 4 cups of

lives for three days or three years you will not let go with any regrets sending you big hugs +i have spherocytocis i had surgery to remove my spleen last week however i just had another gallbladder attack,this is an interesting question blood type is inherited from genes contributed by each parent in order to produce offspring with type a blood at least one parent must also have type a blood two parents with type o blood can only produce offspring with type o blood it gets a little complicated because for example genetically speaking two ab type parents can produce offspring with type o blood it may also be possible for an ab type parent to contribute the a type to offspring when the other parent contributes the o gene if either the mother or the father has type o blood the other parent must have type a blood or possibly type ab to produce offspring with type a blood the positive + and negative signs related to blood type refer to the presence or absence of rh antibodies in the blood and do not affect blood type per se so when considering genetic inheritance you can set aside the rh positive or negative aspect and simply look at the a b o system in the end the only way to determine parentage is by genetic testing hope you find this information useful my mother is ab blood my father is o blood i have o+ blood does this mean my biological father is o+ blood can 2 negatives make a positive i had read somewhere on line that it is not possible +when should you go to the hospital if you think you have pheumonia i have a terrible fluid sounding cough but hardly

to pain med for most of my needs if i need a little extra oomph i add a little caffeine i use the non buffered kind for better absorption that might cause you stomach troubles though and the caffeine could possibly as well if you are sensitive to it depending on the pain and it is reason sometimes going to the source of it can help too like a heating pad for arthritis a salt water gargle for a sore throat a scalp massage for headache that kind of thing if you have problems with diarrhea you may also want to look at the kinds of foods you are eating and if they could be contributing a bland

good job caring for your post surgical wounds be sure to keep following all the post surgical instructions you were given the risk of infection for your procedure is relatively low the classic signs of infection are fever loss of appetite feeling like you are coming down with the flu severe painswellingbleeding in the surgical area if the gooey pus you are seeing is yellowish in color chances are good this is not an infection as the skin heals itself it tends to over produce protein cells these cells look kind of yellow gooey and sticky if that is what you are seeing it is probably a normal part of the healing process do not scrub these cells off just gently wash with warm soapy water and rinse well if your surgeon told you to use antibiotic ointment like bacitracin then continue to do so according to the post surgical instructions you were given as your wounds heal you also can apply a vitamin a & vitamin d ointment often used for diaper rash to help your skin heal if you develop a

exercise also helps make you more accountable and less likely to miss out on the social mental and physical benefits of exercise a combination of aerobic type exercise and weights targeting core muscles is something to aim for find an endocrinologist that is passionate about working with people that have type 2 diabetes the surgeon general recommends 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity most days per week for individuals with diabetes it is recommended that there should not be more than two consecutive days without aerobic physical activity because the benefit of increased insulin sensitivity gained from exercise generally does not last longer than 48 72 hours moreover high intensity physical activity will tend to enhance insulin sensitivity more than low intensity physical activity also a greater duration spent on exercise appears to more effective than a lesser duration with both intensity and duration however the benefits appear to be a result of more energy being expended exercise can significantly lower a1c levels and can even help glycemic control during times when not exercising both resistance training and aerobic exercise have helpful effects on insulin and can help with diabetes management do not exercise if your blood sugar is too low and stop exercise if you feel faint have chest tightness or are extremely short of breath i generally recommend a combination of both aerobic exercise and some resistance exercise in most of my patients and the good news is that most people can do low impact exercise like walking and still see a

cause of prostate cancer is unknown but the cancer is not thought to be related to benign prostatic hyperplasia bph the risk predisposing factors for prostate cancer include advancing age genetics heredity hormonal influences and such environmental factors as toxins chemicals and industrial products the chances of developing prostate cancer increase with age thus prostate cancer under age 40 is extremely rare while it is common in men older than 80 years of age as a matter of fact some studies have suggested that among men over 80 years of age 50 80 of them may have prostate cancer more than 80 of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men older than 65 years of age african american men are 1 6 times more likely than white men to develop prostate cancer they are also 2 4 times more likely to die from their disease as compared to white men of a similar age these differences in diagnosis and death rates are however more likely to reflect a difference in factors such as environmental exposure diet lifestyle and health seeking behavior rather than any racial susceptibility to prostate cancer recent studies indicate that this disparity is progressively decreasing with chances of complete cure in men undergoing treatment for organ confined prostate cancer cancer that is limited to within the prostate without spread outside the confines of the prostate gland irrespective of race genetics heredity as just mentioned plays a role in the risk of developing a prostate cancer prostate cancer is more common among family members of individuals with prostate cancer this risk may be two to three times greater than the risk for men without a family history of the disease earlier age at diagnosis <60 years in a first degree relative father or brother and disease affecting more than one relative also increases the risk for developing prostate cancer testosterone the male hormone produced by the testicles directly stimulates the growth of both normal prostate tissue and prostate cancer cells not surprisingly therefore this hormone is thought to be involved in the development and growth of prostate cancer the important implication of the role of this hormone is that decreasing the level of testosterone should be and usually is effective in inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer recent evidence has suggested that sexually transmitted infections are risk factors for developing prostate cancer men with a history of sexually transmitted infections have a 1 4 times greater chance of developing prostate cancer as compared men without this history although still unproven environmental factors such as cigarette smoking and diets that are high in saturated fat seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer there is also a suggestion that obesity leads to an increased risk of having more aggressive larger prostate cancer which results in a poorer outcome after treatment additional substances or toxins in the environment or from industrial sources might also promote the development of prostate cancer but these have not yet been clearly identified geographical influences +how can i tell if my child has allergies or a common cold,i had some of the same

sigmoidoscopy what is the difference between a colonoscopy & a sigmoidoscopy,dietary avoidance avoiding the offending allergen in the diet is the primary treatment of food allergy once a food to which the patient is sensitive has been identified the food must be removed from the diet to do this affected people need to read lengthy detailed lists of ingredients on the label for each food they consider eating many allergy producing foods such as peanuts eggs and milk appear in foods that are not ordinarily associated with them for example peanuts often are used as protein supplements eggs are found in some salad dressings and milk is in bakery products the fda requires that the ingredients in a food be listed on its label people can avoid most of the foods to which they are sensitive if they carefully read the labels on foods and when in restaurants avoid ordering foods that might contain ingredients to which they are allergic treating an anaphylactic reaction people with severe food allergies must be prepared to treat an anaphylactic reaction even those who know a lot about their own allergies can either make an error or be served food that does not comply with their instructions to protect themselves people who have had anaphylactic reactions to a food should wear medical alert bracelets or necklaces stating that they have a food allergy and that they are subject to severe reactions these individuals also always should carry a syringe of adrenaline epinephrine [epipen] obtained by prescription from their doctors and be prepared to self administer it if they think they are developing an allergic reaction they then should immediately seek medical help by either calling the rescue squad or having themselves transported to an emergency room treating other symptoms of food allergy several medications are available for treating the other symptoms of food allergy for example antihistamines can relieve gastrointestinal symptoms hives sneezing and a runny nose bronchodilators can relieve the symptoms of asthma these medications are taken after a person inadvertently has ingested a food to which he is allergic they are not effective however in

side what is a node i had a ct scan it showed i had colitis and a prominent reactive node 9mm on the right side what is a node can this mean cancer what s the different from a node to a polyp,a node is a shortened form to mean lymph node there are lymph nodes in many places of your body like your neck under your arms groin and your mesenteric near the intestines lymph nodes react enlarge or become inflamed in response to inflammation andor infection in their immediate neighborhood colitis itself can cause reactive nodes and does not automatically mean cancer of course inflammation can be caused by cancer too a polyp is an inflammatory growth and would by inside the intestine in your case some polyps are cancer some are pre cancerous but most are benign these are questions that your

forehead i am 25 have an olive skin tone an oilycombination complexion and seem to scar more easily i have some acne scarring on my forehead and also large pores which turn into blackheads all over my forehead i have a pretty decent skin care regimen never had real acne but do have issues with small pimple type bumps on my chin not whiteheads not large not painful maybe cystic i do not want my scarring to get worse and want to minimize my pores,the issue of is it safe to have multiple procedures because they add up in length and that does have to be taken into consideration you do have to take into consideration the length of the operation but more importantly the nature of the operation the reason is that liposuction for example and what we call large volume liposuction has had some percentage of significant complications due to the nature of the procedure where there is just a lot of fluid being sucked out of the body and a lot of fluid being put in for the anesthesia and frankly it is a little less scientific than we would like it to be and for that reason the time element of the operation comes into play the volume comes in in other words that is a major operation and if you tack that on at the end of 5 hours previously with a face lift let is say it is probably not always a very good idea so again this is where common sense comes in and this is where the surgeon has to say you know you need a lot of this and maybe here is where we do have to split it up into two trips to the operating room so all these factors have to come into play the length of the operation and the nature of the operation and the patients own particular let is say underlying their physiology how they are known to heal if somebody says well i am really a slow healer again you

their lives but many women do not know that birth control pills also can be used to treat a variety of female problems and can have some surprising health benefits birth control pills are made of synthetic laboratory derived versions of the two ovarian hormones progesterone and estradiol also birth control pills can contain synthetic forms of both hormones or progesterone progestin only progestin only pills are best for women who should not or do not want to take estrogen but are not used as much because they have a higher rate of causing unpredictable vaginal bleeding for at least the first year to understand how birth control pills affect periods it is helpful to understand how the normal menstrual cycle works a menstrual period takes place when the uterus womb sheds its lining this process is controlled by the hormones made by the ovary estrogen and progesterone a menstrual cycle begins with the first day of the period lasts for about one month and is divided into two halves by ovulation the release of an egg from the ovary during the first half of the cycle only estrogen is made under the influence of estrogen the uterine lining grows to prepare for a potential pregnancy during the second half of the cycle after ovulation progesterone is also made progesterone stops the lining from growing and prepares it for implantation of an embryo if pregnancy does not occur progesterone and estrogen levels fall which triggers the shedding of the uterine lining and the next period begins some common uses include regulation of menstrual periods treatment of irregular periods treatment of painful periods and treatment for acne hirsutism excess hair and alopecia hair loss you can find more information from the american society for reproductive medicine on this topic here yes birth control pills can help manage severe acne acne that is worsened by hormonal swings in women of course birth control pills can help regulate the menstrual cycle in women who have terrible unpredictable crampy or heavy periods a regular predictable cycle for these women is a blessing girls who are competitive athletes appreciate the predictability of regular periods birth control pills prevent ovulation so women who have a tendency to get painful ovarian cysts or have ovulation pain can benefit from not ovulating for a while finally birth control pills help some parents sleep better if you have a daughter who may be secretly sexually active or may become sexually involved in the near future the birth control pill is a highly effective contraceptive for those teens who do not or forget to use condoms preaching abstinence has its limitations so parents sleep better knowing that the chance of an unintentional pregnancy is very very remote +the dermatologist says if i go out in the sun after having ipl treatments my age spots will come back what can i do,one thing about treating the skin is that it is an ongoing process so it is environmental damage and sun exposure that cause these brown spots to begin with and so once we treat them if you go back and get that damage again chances are you will have new spots created some spots that are going to come up over time just from previous exposures will still come through even if you never get sun exposure again so having the ipl treatment did benefit you because now your skin looks more clear and it is more healthy and younger skin but you have to protect and preserve that skin in order to maintain the results it does not mean you need to sit at home in a darkroom in order to maintain that result but you have to be sun smart try to wear a hat when you can use an spf of 15 or higher even if it is a cloudy day do not be fooled by a day that does not feel so hot or sunny reapply that sunscreen on a regular basis and stay in the shade when you can and that will do the best for you in order to minimize those spots from returning also using over the counter products that contain ingredients like niacinamide and retinoids can help the skin cells turn over they contain antioxidants that help keep the skin renewed and refreshed and those can help keep those spots away as well also ingredients like sepiwhite can be very helpful in keeping your skin more even in tone +for a 5 11 43 year old male 245 pounds drinking 160 ounces of beer a night be cause for concern he also smokes marijuana

sit and talk and enjoy healthy food together heck prepare the meal together it is such a win win 3 not getting enough sleep sleep deprivation goes hand in hand with the tv in the bedroom along with

problems that some people tell me dr breus i take a nap and i feel worse when i get up than i did when i fell asleep well that means that you have napped too long because then you have gone into deep sleep and you are going to have a real hard time pulling yourself out of that deep sleep now is it just because you woke up in the middle of that deep sleep generally speaking if you wake up in the middle of that deep sleep it is really hard to shake that sleepy feeling and that is when you do not feel so good what can you do if that does happen to you truthfully there is not a whole lot you could have some caffeine which would help bring you out of it caffeine by the way i do not have a problem with caffeine i do not have a problem with people drinking coffee i just want them to do it responsibly and know and understand the effects of caffeine so if you wake up from a nap and you feel worse than you did before having some caffeine will probably help the biggest thing that is going to help though is walking outside and getting sunlight sunlight is it directly affects your body is ability to produce melatonin because remember you do not produce melatonin in the light so if you wake up and you do not feel so hot before you go and grab that soda or coffee i would say walk outside and get a little bit of sunlight and even walk around a little bit and you should be able shake yourself out of it pretty quick +can blu light prevent future skin cancers,no +does anyone know how soon after you have completed chemo that one could get a flu shot,only your oncologist can answer this question it is worth asking him or her too because depending on your cancer and its treatment you may be at higher risk for complications from h1n1 flu seasonal influenza andor bacterial pneumonia all vaccines depend on an immune system response to learn how to fight the bacteria or virus if infection by that bug like the flu does occur later the immune system is prepared and quickly destroys the invaders before they can make you sick as you may already know most chemotherapy suppresses the immune system standard practice is to delay vaccination until the immune system recovers there is no standard point to use and oncologists differ in their approach they may wait for a certain period of time after chemotherapy or vaccinate when the white blood cell count climbs past a certain point it is believed that this makes a good response to the vaccine more likely other experts also recommend revaccination several months after chemotherapy is complete generally speaking children is vaccines are given on schedule even while they are receiving chemotherapy this information only applies to inactivated vaccines including seasonal influenza swine flu and most others live vaccines measles mumps rubella varicella oral polio and bacillus calmette guerin should generally not be given to people receiving chemotherapy +do testosterone boosters really work while many prescription treatments can increase those levels through injections or by topical aplication they often cause the body to further reduce its own production resulting in increasing dependance on the

pressure tablet in half later if your blood pressure is still high i take blood pressure meds and sometimes it still goes up not for long i was curious can you break your tablet in half and take it if it has been a while since you took the first whole med,i can see why you would ask this question it seems like a very logical solution does not it however i would not advise doing this first of all there are several different types of blood pressure pills some of them work by relaxing blood vessels others work in the kidneys others work by reducing blood volume water pills taking a little extra of one type of pill might not harm you while taking extra of another type of pill could cause your blood pressure to go dangerously low second it is normal for your blood pressure to fluctuate throughout the day and even in different situations for instance your blood pressure may go up if you have recently been walking or for some people simply standing up your pressure can go up if you are angry anxious or feeling emotional on the other hand your blood pressure can go down if you are feeling very relaxed or if you have been lying around all day this is normal the important thing with blood pressure medication is that it controls your pressure on average if your pressure usually falls within an acceptable range as determined by your healthcare provider then you are doing fine however if your pressure is often or regularly elevated even though you take your medication as prescribed then you should let your medical provider know lastly do not take your blood pressure too often there is no point taking it once a day at the same time every day usually is sufficient take it around noon or 1pm if possible always write down your readings and note if you were sitting down walking angry or anything that could affect your reading and take this information to your doctor appointments your provider will appreciate getting this feedback wishing you well +my mom is cousin

help you determine how bad your urinary symptoms are and check how well your treatment is working but the most important factor in deciding whether to use medicines is not your aua score but how much

inhibitors affect different prostate tissues how much your symptoms improve may depend on which tissue is contributing most to your symptoms none of these medicines will work for everyone alpha

any sexually transmitted diseases stds how do you know did your partner tell you what are your symptoms if you have discharge from the vagina or penis it is important to note any smell or color what method of birth control do you use did you use condoms to protect against stds which sexual behaviors do you or your partner engage in including high risk behaviors such as sex with multiple partners

screening test for hpv at the same time as a pap test this hpv test looks for the dna genetic information of the virus women under 30 usually get the hpv test only if they have an abnormal pap test 4

routine anal pap test especially if they also have hiv infection ask your doctor whether and how often you should be tested for men and women if visible warts are present a diagnosis can usually be made without more testing when your doctor finds abnormal tissue but cannot make a definite diagnosis you may have a biopsy for lab tissue studies testing for the type of hpv that is causing warts is

your wife is not losing weight without more information but here are some things to consider how is she tracking her calories it is possible that she is getting more than she thinks she is seeing a registered dietitian can help her examine her food intake for hidden calories high levels of activity mixed with low calorie intake may increase cortisol levels stress hormone and cause weight to stay where it is this is a theory but i have seen it many times your wife can experiment with cutting back the exercise or increasing her calorie intake unless she is enjoying the exercise it likely is not sustainable so i suggest she focused on doing something she enjoys if your wife did not exercise at all before it is possible she is gaining some muscle mass and losing fat even the scale is not moving other factors can cause weight to plateau such as stress and lack of sleep see this webmd article for more ideas weight loss and especially weight loss maintenance can be a challenging task i suggest your wife get help and support with the process the key is to address the reasons for the weight gain in addition to tackling food and exercise +am i pregnant its been like 50 days since my

this can be fixed with a combination of medications and even surgery i have had bouts with chronic hiccups my entire life until i found a permanent over the counter medicine that cured them for me and keep me from ever getting them anymore and i am in my mid 40 is i would get the hiccups for 1 to 4 days which would lead to other problems with the spasms flaring up my ulcer i am not a doctor but i know it works for me and improved my quality of life 100 the named brand medicine is not labeled for a hiccup cure and the only main ingredient is what does the job for me every day i take just one time released tablet of just plain mucinex blue and white box made by reckitt benckiser although it is designed to work as an expectorant to relieve chest congestion and it thins and loosens mucus it

get another brand it will probably not be time released so be careful as it may work for 4 hours at the most i hope this helps and please let me know if it does because it sure changed my life my dad

become less convenient you become more likely to take on healthier behaviors eating while you are on the road is a great example even though many fast food restaurants have been pressured to add some healthier items to their menus the truth is it can be pretty tough to choose a grilled chicken salad over a burger and fries especially when you are sitting in the drive through lane if you find

related to benign prostatic hyperplasia bph the risk predisposing factors for prostate cancer include advancing age genetics heredity hormonal influences and such environmental factors as toxins chemicals and industrial products the chances of developing prostate cancer increase with age thus prostate cancer under age 40 is extremely rare while it is common in men older than 80 years of age as a matter of fact some studies have suggested that among men over 80 years of age 50 80 of them may have prostate cancer more than 80 of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men older than 65 years of age african american men are 1 6 times more likely than white men to develop prostate cancer they are also 2 4 times more likely to die from their disease as compared to white men of a similar age these differences in diagnosis and death rates are however more likely to reflect a difference in factors such as environmental exposure diet lifestyle and health seeking behavior rather than any racial susceptibility to prostate cancer recent studies indicate that this disparity is progressively decreasing with chances of complete cure in men undergoing treatment for organ confined prostate cancer cancer that is limited to within the prostate without spread outside the confines of the prostate gland irrespective of race genetics heredity as just mentioned plays a role in the risk of developing a prostate cancer prostate cancer is more common among family members of individuals with prostate cancer this risk may be two to three times greater than the risk for men without a family history of the disease earlier age at diagnosis <60 years in a first degree relative father or brother and disease affecting more than one relative also increases the risk for developing prostate cancer testosterone the male hormone produced by the testicles directly stimulates the growth of both normal prostate tissue and prostate cancer cells not surprisingly therefore this hormone is thought to be involved in the development and growth of prostate cancer the important implication of the role of this hormone is that decreasing the level of testosterone should be and usually is effective in inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer recent evidence has suggested that sexually transmitted infections are risk factors for developing prostate cancer men with a history of sexually transmitted infections have a 1 4 times greater chance of developing prostate cancer as compared men without this history although still unproven environmental factors such as cigarette smoking and diets that are high in saturated fat seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer there is also a suggestion that obesity leads to an increased risk of having more aggressive larger prostate cancer which results in a poorer outcome after treatment additional substances or toxins in the environment or from industrial sources might also promote the development of prostate cancer but these have not yet been clearly identified geographical influences +heartburn and mild burping only symptoms for a week non stop ive tryed zantac 150 gasx alka seltzer nothing has worked male 22,excedrin is a

the right medicationtreatment plan for me,you bring up two important issues regarding the treatment of adhd with medications first the difficulty finding the right combination of medications when co existing conditions are present and second the use of adhd medications during pregnancy when choosing a medication to address adhd symptoms it is extremely important to keep co existing conditions in mind and not make them worse with treatment some co existing conditions such as mild depressiondemoralization or anxiety may be the result of untreated adhd and will improve once the adhd is treated

cognitive behavioral therapy cbt have been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety in persons with adhd this treatment can be a particularly useful adjunct for those with anxietyself esteem issues or who can not take medications for whatever reason that brings us to the second issue pregnancy and medications used to treat adhd basically the stimulants are not recommended for use during pregnancy in order to avoid any possibility of damage to the developing fetus there have been no studies done in humans but cardiac defects have been seen in animals given very high doses of stimulants during

2 to 4 pounds during your first three months of pregnancy and 1 pound a week for the remainder of your pregnancy if you are expecting twins you should gain 35 to 45 pounds during your pregnancy this

overdose of empracet codeine no 3,this is a very tough situation and i give a few different strategies in my book about what you can do if you have got children who are disrupting your sleep the very the easiest thing and the first thing i tell is shifts if you as a parent are an early to bed early to rise person then you may take the late shift if the child is waking up so if the child has a tendency to wake up at 400 am and you normally wake up at 530 this might be an okay time for you to be able to handle that whereas if your bed partner does not go to bed until 100 in the morning and then sleeps until 8 then they may take the early shift so having shifts in a given night is going to be important based on your own sleep habits because both parents do not need to have poor sleep just because a child or children are up only one parent really should be able to handle that situation so again structuring it through one evening and or across a week can be a great strategy let is say it is not quite that easy and you are both early to bed people okay well then what i have you do is i have you pick days during the week so the husband does monday wednesday friday and the wife does tuesday thursday and saturday and sunday you are on call if you will for your child or children +what do i do if my baby cries so hard he seems to stop breathing,hi dear actually after using

be a good listener,last week i did one of my teaching stints at the usc medical school we work with medical students to teach them how to examine the nose and other structures of the face head and neck we are not teaching them cosmetic surgery that is not appropriate for undergraduate medical students it is appropriate and important for them to understand the anatomy of the structures of the face including the nose the nasal passages and even the sinuses once you are a specialist – particularly a superspecialist – you forget how difficult it is to master early in your studies even the simple examination of the nose to be able to coordinate using an instrument to open the nostrils and a light to look in and to understand what you are seeing is not so simple when you are only a sophomore or junior medical student interestingly the technology available has not changed much since i was a medical student there is just no substitute for some of the simple things that are used that can fit into your pocket yes the light bulbs are stronger and the batteries last longer but other than that the instruments that comprise the “head and neck diagnostics” for looking into noses ears and eyes have not changed much it is interesting to listen to the students and to observe their amazement when we explain to them that they need to master the examination of the ears and the nose and even the mouth because 25 of human illnesses take place in the head and neck common things do occur commonly such as the “common cold ” we train our students to master the techniques of asking the right questions when a patient presents with some symptoms for example if a patient comes in with a blocked nose it is very important that the young doctor learn to ask about a history of nasal allergies what about the history of a broken nose when did you start to have trouble breathing is it at night only do you have more trouble in certain environments for example is arizona better for your nose than california is it worse in the summer versus the winter have you been using nose sprays what medications have you tried has anything been helpful you see medical practice has a certain

+my doctor asks me to get a tetanus vaccine upon an injury when i am doubtful of acquiring tetanus is this anti tetanus vaccine if so for how long do these vaccines are effective some say it for three months or for six months is it okay if one gets this vaccine before twenty four hours of injury,the tetanus vaccine is good for ten years but some medical providers will recommend a booster vaccine sooner than that if there is some doubt as to the previous date or if the wound is particularly prone the disease tetanus is very rare in the united states not so rare in other countries but if you should get it it has an extremely high fatality rate getting a vaccine every ten years for 100 protection is really the best deal out there in the vaccine world getting the vaccine 24 hours before a planned injury is unlikely to be very effective unless of course you have prior immunity from a previous tetanus still on board +what can i do to relieve the pain from a latissimus dorsi strain and

15 last year i did nothing about it unfortunately but i was always sleepy i would take long naps during the day i can not concentrate anxious knee pain once in a while it starts hurting and feeling really stiff goes away with rest i feel bad because i am in college and i do not have time for this i have lots of work to do do you guys think this is because of my vitamin d levels also what other tests should i do to determine the cause thanks a lot,i do not know what you mean by you do not have time for this curing a vitamin d deficiency is as easy as taking a pill once a day low vitamin d levels have been associated with bone pain general muscle weakness and even cancer thought that is unlikely in a young person it is doubtful your sleepiness and lack of concentration are due to vitamin d deficiency but i suppose anything is possible you do not need any other test to determine the cause of your low vitamin d levels it is pretty simple you are not consuming enough vitamin d and you are not getting enough sunlight on your skin this is a very common problem on the one hand we medical professionals tell people to wear sunscreen on the other hand we tell them they are deficient in vitamin d the solution is to continue wearing sunscreen when you go in the sun for prolonged periods of time and to take vitamin d supplements if you have no personal or family history of skin cancer you probably are safe to get 15 30 minutes of sun per day on your skin this will help boost your vitamin d levels given how very deficient you are in vitamin d i hope you took the prescribed 50 000 iu of vitamin d every other day until the prescription was gone the usual length of therapy is a couple of weeks you should get re tested if you have not already done so and then you may need to continue taking inexpensive vitamin d supplements for awhile until your levels are within normal range please note you should not continue taking 50 000 iu of vitamin d indefinitely that is a very large dose if you have any questions consult your health care provider wishing you well i do not believe the answer is always so cut and dry my vitmain d level has been low and getting lower for at least 5 years now i do not tolerate the heat or sunshine so i do not get very much sun but i have been pushing myself to tolerate it but i have been on several very high courses of good quality vitamin d supplements and the mainstays of my diet are all vitamin d rich but there was never even a slight rise in my levels at last check my levels were in the single digits incidentally i am always tired and always in pain these days absolutely i have had similar symptoms along with cardiac and autoimmune disorders my vitamin d level is 13 and has runned low for years i too never worried about

case managers and caregivers at residential or day programs however family members usually are a patient is primary caregivers people with schizophrenia often resist treatment they may not think they need help because they believe their delusions or hallucinations are real in these cases family and friends may need to take action to keep their loved one safe laws vary from state to state and it can be difficult to force a person with a mental disorder into treatment or hospitalization but when a person becomes dangerous to himself or herself or to others family members or friends may have to call the police to take their loved one to the hospital treatment at the hospital in the emergency room a mental health professional will assess the patient and determine whether a voluntary or involuntary admission is needed for a person to be admitted involuntarily the law states that the professional must witness psychotic behavior and hear the person voice delusional thoughts family and friends can provide needed information to help a mental health professional make a decision after a loved one leaves the hospital family and friends can help their loved ones get treatment and take their medication once they go home if patients stop taking their medication or stop going to follow up appointments their symptoms likely will return sometimes symptoms become severe for people who stop their medication and treatment this is dangerous since they may become unable to care for themselves some people end up on the street or in jail where they rarely receive the kind of help they need family and friends can also help patients set realistic goals and learn to function in the world each step toward these goals should be small and taken one at a time the patient will need support during this time when people with a mental illness are pressured and criticized they usually do not get well often their symptoms may get worse telling them when they are doing something right is the best way to help them move forward it can be difficult to know how to respond to someone with schizophrenia who makes strange or clearly false statements remember that these beliefs or hallucinations seem very real to the person it is not helpful to say they are wrong or imaginary but going along with the delusions is not helpful either instead calmly say that you see things differently tell them that you acknowledge that everyone has the right to see things his or her own way in addition it is important to understand that schizophrenia is a biological illness being respectful supportive and kind without tolerating dangerous or inappropriate behavior is the best way to approach people with this disorder people with schizophrenia can get help from professional case managers and caregivers

be identified was alpha synuclein in the 1990s researchers at the national institutes of health nih and other institutions studied the genetic profiles of a large italian family and three greek families with familial parkinson is disease and found that their disease was related to a mutation in this gene they found a second alpha synuclein mutation in a german family with parkinson is disease these findings prompted studies of the role of alpha synuclein in parkinson is disease which led to the discovery that lewy bodies from people with the sporadic form of parkinson is disease contained clumps of alpha synuclein protein this discovery revealed a potential link between hereditary and sporadic forms of the disease researchers studying inherited parkinson is disease discovered that the disease in one large family was caused by a triplication of the normal alpha synuclein gene on one copy of chromosome 4 this triplication caused people in the affected family to produce too much of the normal alpha synuclein the study showed that an excess of the normal form of the protein could result in parkinson is disease just as the abnormal form does other genes linked to parkinson is disease include parkin dj 1 pink1 and lrrk2 parkin dj 1 and pink 1 cause rare early onset forms of parkinson is disease the parkin gene is translated into a protein that normally helps cells break down and recycle proteins dj 1 normally helps regulate gene activity and protect cells from oxidative stress pink1 codes for a protein active in mitochondria mutations in this gene appear to increase susceptibility to cellular stress lrrk2 which is translated into a protein called dardarin was originally identified in several english and basque families and causes a late onset form of parkinson is disease subsequent studies have identified this gene in other families with parkinson is disease as well as in a small percentage of people with apparently sporadic parkinson is disease researchers are continuing to investigate the normal functions and interactions of these genes in order to find clues about how parkinson is disease develops they also have identified a number of other genes and chromosome regions that may play a role in parkinson is disease but the nature of these links is not yet clear +three days ago i woke up at 1am with severe adominal pain i have felt nauseous since

being proven safe or effective for use in human beings i am not even sure you can buy this compound anywhere not even on the internet that is probably because it does not actually exist as a medication yet but if you do find something in a store or online labeled as p7c3 my advice is beware it should not contain actual p7c3 which as i said is experimental so you will have no idea what those capsules contain if p7c3 pans out as something effective for human brains you can expect to see a pill on the market in 10 years or so meanwhile you can consult the webmd brain and nervous

tsh levels is not related to menopause i think what confuses some people is that the symptoms of low thyroid levels hypothyroidism can mirror the symptoms of menopause when a person experiences

for thyroid stimulating hormone by the way result like yours only indicates how well your thyroid is functioning it does not indicate whether or not you are now in menopause i hope you are following up with a medical professional about your tsh results a tsh of 115 indicates your thyroid is not producing enough thyroid hormones to meet your body is needs people with elevated tsh readings often must take prescription thyroid hormone pills if your healthcare provider has not suggested this you should ask why not wishing you well +what are adult brain tumors,hi contratubrex is the ointment of

hours i shake get hot flashes and pass out my sugar levels are normal when checked uptaking sugar when this happens was my doctors advice but it does not always help if i do not eat within ten minutes of this shaking and hot flashing then i pass out for over an hour my blood pressure is lower and so is my pulse my daily resting rate is 10471 and hr of 58 65 neither of which my physician was concerned with my temperature runs in the normal from 96 97 f shaking intensifies if i use my muscles when resting i fell no shaking only if i move why,most helpful answer so sorry you are going through this it sounds scary even if your blood sugar levels tested normal during a routine lab test that does not mean you are not having episodes of hypoglycemia when you say my sugar levels are normal when checked i am assuming you are talking about a lab test have you ever used a hand held glucometer to have someone check your sugar level when you experience one of these shakingsweatingpassing out episodes the reason your doctor specifically said to eat something sugary when this happens is to rapidly raise your low blood sugar levels it is not enough to eat just anything when these episodes occur carry a candy bar or something very sugary with you to eat when you start to feel these symptoms coming on passing out for over an hour can indicate dangerously low blood sugar levels you should not allow that to continue if you experience an episode like this again and your friends cannot rouse you wake you up they need to call 911 immediately i would strongly recommend going back to the doctor to have your symptoms reevaluated if eating sugar is not helping when you have one of these episodes by the way your blood pressure and pulse numbers look very good which is why your doctor was not concerned i hope this helps +i have noticed a massive change weight loss in myself without having any change of diet or exercise now worrying,my opinion is in your age

various tissues of the body autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body is tissues are attacked by its own immune system the immune system is a complex system within the body that is designed to fight infectious agents such as bacteria and other foreign microbes one of the ways that the immune system fights infections is by producing antibodies that bind to the microbes people with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood that target tissues within their own body rather than foreign infectious agents because the antibodies and accompanying cells of inflammation can affect tissues anywhere in the body lupus has the potential to affect a variety of areas sometimes lupus can cause disease of the skin heart lungs kidneys joints andor nervous system when only the skin is involved the condition is called lupus dermatitis or cutaneous lupus erythematosus a form of lupus dermatitis that can be isolated to the skin without internal disease is called discoid lupus when internal organs are involved the condition is referred to as systemic lupus erythematosus sle both discoid and systemic lupus are more common in women than men about eight times more common the

transglutaminase antibodies has a greater than 95 chance of having celiac disease anti gliadin antibodies are less reliable and have a higher rate of false positive tests there are two recognized reasons for false negative blood tests for celiac disease patients with deficiency of one type of antibody iga they are born that way will have low endomysial antibodies and anti tissue

this is just a guess however since i can not see them over the internet tonsilliths are innocent and can be dislodged by gargling or using your finger if you can control your gag response tonsilliths can cause your tonsils to be inflamed in order to confirm this blind assumption you will need to see a medical provider for a hands on evaluation +i had a minor heart attackmyocardial infarction,fever is generally harmless as a matter of fact fever helps fight infection so it is more therapeutic than dangerous fevers under 105 in older children is not uncommon any fever in babies under 6 months are taken more seriously but as the child ages seasoned medical providers do not get excited certainly not as excited about fever as parents i have been treating children for over four decades and i have not encountered a fever alone that would prompt an er visit but of course that is me it is not the fever that is the issue but rather the cause of the fever and those other symptoms that accompany the fever for instance a fever with a severe sore throat could be strep or a fever with a dozen other cold symptoms could just mean a viral infection a fever with lethargy stiff neck and a very ill appearing child could be meningitis roseola a common childhood illness can mount a fever in the 105 range for three days in a row before the characteristic rash appears during the fever stage this high temp certainly gets attention fever is probably one of the most misunderstood and improperly treated symptoms it is not a disease that people encounter so the more your read about it the better you will be informed and the more comfortable you will be when you see it again and again and again comfort comes with practice but until you can keep you cool when kids are hot you will need to engage the expertise of your friendly medical provider +i have been suffering from joint disease for 2 months,first let me extend my condolences on your miscarriage it is a grief unlike any other i am

atherosclerosis injury to the intima of the artery leads to the formation of plaques which are regions of thickening on the inner lining of the artery how then do the plaques form in response to the injury the smooth muscle cells from the media and perhaps from the adventitia move migrate into the intima in the intima these smcs reproduce themselves divide and make synthesize connective tissue these processes of migration division and synthesis which collectively are referred to as intimal proliferation build up cause thickening of the intima when cholesterol other fats and inflammatory cells such as white blood cells enter the proliferating thickened intima the result is an atherosclerotic plaque then as these plaques grow they accumulate scar fibrous tissue and abundant calcium calcium is the hard material in our teeth and bones hence the plaques are often hard which is why atherosclerosis is sometimes referred to as hardening of the arteries +i am 65 for 1 5 yrs have

weeks i noticed not long after the back pain seemed to subside that my left thigh has this intense dull achey burning sensation and feels like it will give out on me at times it is only my left leg and it only happens during laps if i stand straight and skate around my leg is fine is this an issue from the back pain and it is just going down my leg now would a back brace work,that is a very good question unfortunately the answer is no any time the skin is cut with an incision a scar will develop that is just the plain truth there are several things you can do after surgery to minimize the appearance of a scar but it will always be there after your incision has healed and after your surgeon has given his permission you can try massaging the scar several times a day using as much pressure as you can tolerate a scar is basically a buildup of fibrous tissue the more you massage this tissue and break it up the less noticeable the scar may be you do not need to use a fancy product while doing this scar massage either plain lotion is fine it is the mechanical action of the massage that matters when i was a plastic surgery nurse the surgeon i worked for always told patients to avoid applying pure vitamin e oil to any incision this can cause reddening of the scar in some people however a lotion or cream containing vitamin e is fine remember that your scar should continue to fade over time if your scar is unattractive to you there are some relatively new products on the market called silicone sheets or gel patches that seem to work quite well to help minimize scars they are also rather expensive reminder no scar massage before your surgeon says it is ok your incision needs to be fully healed before you start massaging it wishing you all the best for a successful surgery and speedy recovery +5 week old baby has not had poopy daiper in almost 3 days should i take her to the docotors,not necessarily but you can certainly call your doctor for patient specific

spot reduce or target a specific area of your body for fat reduction it would be nice if you could get on the elliptical machine and say okay burn fat from my thighs today or okay sit ups get rid of my love handles but that is not how it works instead fat is stored in special fat cells called adipocytes which are located all over your body the trick to reducing fat and losing weight is to stimulate adipocytes to release their stored fat and have the muscles burn it up exercise will do that for you and here is how it works when you start to exercise hormones like norepinephrine adrenaline are released into the bloodstream and transported via the circulation to adipocytes all over the body when these hormones reach the adipocytes they trigger special chemical messengers that instruct the adipocytes to release fat and just like a balloon that shrinks when you let air out of it adipocytes shrink when they release fat the released fat then circulates in the blood to the muscles which burn it up for fuel just like an automobile engine burns gasoline for fuel you lose weight when adipocytes release their stored fat and shrink and muscles burn up the fat as for spot reducing you can not do it because you have no control over which adipocytes release fat when you start to exercise we all have a consistent pattern of weight loss and weight gain you may lose fat in your face first and your love handles last but you can not control the pattern the good news is that all aerobic exercise stimulates adipocytes to give up their fat including the ones in your love handles and resistance exercises like weightlifting and abdominal exercises will tone up muscles under excess fat in fact you could tighten up your waist and loosen your slacks with abdominal exercises even if you did not lose your love handles to maximize the health and fitness benefits of exercise build up to three to five times per week of aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a session and perform resistance exercise two to three times per week all abdominal exercises on the floor will help try side bends trunk rotations and full body exercises like squats to help tone up the waist as

stomach does not absorb nutrients but it does play a role enhancing absorption of certain nutrients in the small intestine for example the stomach secretes intrinsic factor which binds to b12 for absorption in the small intestine stomach acid turns iron into a form that is better absorbed in the small intestine and people who have part of their stomach removed may be at risk for osteoporosis because the stomach empties faster which can decrease the amount of calcium being absorbed and utilized by the body anyone who has surgery to remove part of the stomach should see a dietitian to be sure they are not at risk for nutrition deficiencies +i suffered a major left sided hemiparesis in july 04 i started suffering from violent muscle spasms in my left quads muscles,hi its most probably

your uterus and out the fallopian tubes and cause a possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility so i would not put it into a young girl who has not had their family and i would put it into someone who is at the point where they have had their kids and they say they are done and it is a great form of birth control they do not have to think about and like i said the new mirena iud

another the answer also is no let me explain mrsa stands for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureas a nasty bacterium that resists treatment by many antibiotic drugs interestingly mrsa can reside peaceably on the skin and a few other places such as the nasal passages in some people without ever causing a problem this is called colonization the problem arises when mrsa invades internal tissues such as through a cut or surgery a mrsa infection presents a serious health issue that requires a strong response from medical professionals group b streptococcus lives in the intestines of many people and never causes a problem that said it is a leading cause of blood and brain infections in newborns infants are susceptible to group b strep because they do not have well developed immune systems when a baby gets infected with group b strep it often happens during the birthing process as these bacteria can be present in the vagina or rectum of the woman giving birth if a woman is known to be colonized with group b strep she may receive antibiotics during labor however these two bacteria are not in any way related if a person were diagnosed with both mrsa and group b strep at the same time it would be coincidental the only possible link between the two would be a weakened or suppressed immune system a person with a weakened immune system would be less able to fight off any type of bacterial infection and so this person would be more likely to come down with multiple infections caused by different bacteria wishing you well +how are arrhythmias diagnosed,tests used to

they itch sometimes dry out and peel any ideas,most helpful answer let is start off with your question regarding the relationship between acne and heavy sweating sweat does not cause acne especially during the teen years hormone levels can stimulate excessive oil production along with those hormones circulating throughout the body causing the excess oil the skin is going through a stage of change that predisposes it to clogging that pore clogging can develop into pustules pimples whiteheads and blackheads most foods do not cause acne with that said it is suggested to eat a healthy and balanced diet some anecdotal accountings recommend either reducing or eliminating chocolate carbonated beverages caffeine products excess sodium and fried foods despite extensive marketing through info commercial and lofty prices there is no silver bullet product solution to curing acne here are some recommendations and treatment that can lessen the acne outbreaks even though acne is not directly caused by dirt keep your face clean and free of excess bacteria can reduce pore clotting do not be overly aggressive in the face washing applying too much pressure to the affected areas can actually aggravate the situation from my own teenage years applying an astringent following face washing was very beneficial cleaning pads containing salicylic acid can cause improvement and are relatively cost effective be careful about using cover up makeup products which can further cause pore clotting do not be tempted to pop the acne blisters as this may cause spreading and infection keep your body well hydrated and exercise on a regular basis sleep for eight hours each night you can search out acne home remedy treatments the internet is loaded with various homemade recipes that may help a paste made up of common everyday products such as baking soda and lemon juice work for some individuals if improvement does not occur within 2 months of applying the above principles then it is time to consult with a doctor they may prescribe medications such as retin a accutane antibiotics and others to treat the acne stay calm and positive do not become overly stressed and allow acne to control your life with extra efforts directed at maintaining optimal physical health you should see positive results in reducing acne +does using an elliptical machine at the gym burn more calories than running on the street or bike riding,the answer depends on many different things since your weight the type of exercise how intense you are doing each exercise and how long you do each exercise will all influence how many calories you burn simply put however i would say that you have the potential to burn the most calories by running followed by biking and lastly by using the elliptical one way to measure how many calories you burn during exercise is to look at metabolic equivalents mets mets are a way to measure and gauge the amount of energy you burn during physical activity with 1 met being equal to the energy you burn simply being at rest for instance running at a 10 minute mile pace is roughly the equivalent of 10 mets or ten times the calories you burn at rest unfortunately there really is no good answer for how many mets you burn while using an elliptical a study entitled “2011 compendium of physical activities a second update of codes and met values” only lists using an elliptical at a moderate intensity which was the equivalent of 5 mets for comparison bicycling with a moderate effort 12 13 9mph is 8 mets you can find a comprehensive list of mets by doing an internet search for “compendium of physical activities tracking guide” websites utilizing a formula involving these met values for each type of exercise along with your weight and the duration can help to estimate how many calories you will burn during exercise keep in mind that these are just based off of averages but one such site is play around with the types of activities and the duration of the activity to see what can provide you with the most calories burned +can bacterial vaginosis be pasted to a man,h i yes but its not a bit like a woman gets he just becomes a carrier and will

medical consequences while humans are inherently sexual beings celibacy does not cause disease it does require an strong conviction however i have done a fair amount of non religious research on this and the answer is that the body will eventually get used to complete celibacy after a while you might have a wet dream even if you do not your sperm will eventually reabsorb into your body you might get prostatits if you are used to having release and suddenly go down to nothing and epididymitis is also possible though less common you also might find prostate fluid oozing out of you when you

why i am still very sore at the sight shouldnt they have explained this to me,thank goodness you apparently do not have meningitis how scary in answer to your last question yes i think the er doctor should have explained to you exactly what to expect after your lumbar puncture in fact you should have received some sort of written instructions beyond that i think they should have given you additional verbal information about what to expect due to experiencing six attempts it is possible the site is still sore because of multiple tries and because of hitting a tendon however if you begin to run a fever it is time to seek medical attention fever could be a sign of infection lumbar punctures are performed under sterile conditions but infection can occur after the fact i do not think

several years they developed a technique called imrt which stands for intensity modulation radiation therapy instead of large beams that focus on the tumor there are computer generated pencil sized

would advise the patient to not take maalox with it maalox can actually bind to the vitamin and will not make it work as well it will actually prevent it from being absorbed in the body there are a few tricks though that i recommend to my patients to help avoid this nausea feeling and part of it is number one taking it with some food around meal time maybe dinner is a good opportunity to take your vitamins and as long as there is something in your stomach it may actually counteract that nauseous feeling also i found that a lot of women take it at bedtime i recommend it pretty consistently and they say that it really works because you take it right before you go to bed you are sleeping so the vitamins are dissolving and you are not awake to experience that nauseous feeling but if you are having severe nausea talk to your pharmacist you may need to be switched to a different type of prenatal vitamin i will be more than happy to call your physician or healthcare provider to talk to

diarrhea lasting longer than this time or very severe diarrhea that may contain blood in the stools should be brought to the immediate attention of his pediatrician or medical provider the most important thing for you to do is maintain adequate hydration water electrolyte solution like pedialyte juices yogurt etc are all helpful a diet containing rice applesauce toast or bananas have been helpful as well since he is diapered you can contain the watery stools most of the time but make sure to change him after stooling as quickly as you can since diarrhea can lead to a nasty diaper rash

chlamydia this is less likely unless you have a new sexual partner or a partner with multiple other partners 2 stress many women using hormonal birth control pillspatchesringshot have had an apparent correlation between life stress and spotting on their birth control method i have also seen this occur in a couple of my postmenopausal patients yet there are no good studies in the medical literature on this phenomenon if there is a connection between life stress and the adrenal gland hormones that can be converted to weak estrogens that might be a trigger for breakthrough bleeding 3 normal effects of the depoprovera shot on the lining of the uterus simply stated if the uterine lining is like grass or lawn estrogen is like the fertilizer causes a thickening of the lining and progesterone is like the lawnmower keeps the lining thin by three different mechanisms this is why depoprovera high dose synthetic progesterone brings about a thin lining and why birth control pills relatively progesterone dominant bring about shorter lighter periods if the lining of the uterus gets very thin it can prompt more breakthrough bleeding since it has been a month of constant spotting i would urge you to return to the gyn or clinic who administers your depoprovera they can check for infections if needed and can give you a more for sure answer about the spotting if someone is having very heavy breakthrough bleeding a short course of low dose estrogen pills can sometimes terminate the spotting +how is epilepsy treated,the most common way to treat epilepsy is with medication specific

courtney,courtney let is answer your opening question honestly and directly the pain management doctor probably does not want to talk with you about medications you could discuss hydrocodone but will most likely be dismissed there is a reluctance by most pain management doctors to prescribe pain relief medication due to potential law suits yes some patients actually sue the doctor and win for causing a drug addiction unscrupulous patients who are actively addicted or those scoundrels who will sell the drugs my orthopedic doctor referred me to a pain management physician for severe sciatic type pain and lower back pain a bulging disc was confirmed through mri studies at l and s1 during my first pain management visit i was given a spinal injection of cortisone the doctor told me that it might not work so upon leaving the office i asked the r n if there was something else that could be prescribed if the procedure failed she flippantly told me to take an advil as the practice did not prescribe medicine and that narcotics would not work on nerve pain what an uncaring incompetent statement by a registered nurse or more likely it was just an outright lie on the 2nd visit i underwent a spinal epidural process both treatment modalities failed miserably and left me in excoriating pain i tried physical therapy ice packs a heating pad motion 800 mg 4x is a day and slept on an 18 wooden board without relief i returned to my orthopedic surgeon who prescribed hydrocodone 5 w325 tylenol taking three pills at bedtime actually helps additionally he scheduled me to see an orthopedic surgeon at the first available appointment during the end of august 2014 to evaluate my condition for surgical consideration i am relating my story to confirm the facts outlined in your question in 2014 many doctors are fearful of prescribing narcotic medications to a 24 year old person or even a 65 year old person something needs to change in the practice of pain management doctors take a sacred oath to do no harm i suggest that sending a patient away in severe pain without an adequate treatment pain is causing harm and goes against the principles and spirit of causing no harm i suggest that you find a doctor willing to treat your pain with medication sufficient to relieve the pain at the same time seek out a cause for your pain and have the appropriate treatment completed to resolve your condition without continuing to take pain medication no legitimate pain suffer should be forced to jump out of their skin cry in agony or find a drug supplier on the street there are

use a condom and your sore penis is up to it otherwise wait until you are symptom free i have no idea what you mean by a cyst condition and which antibiotic you are taking and for why so i would suggest you call your doctor for patient specific advice someone who knows the details of your case if you do have sex while you are still experiencing a yeast infection make sure that you use a condom however it is often best to try to wait until the yeast infection is gone just to reduce the risk of spreading it it also can sometimes be a little sore on the penis when the yeast infection is in full power make sure you maintain proper overall penis health by using a quality penis nutrient cream health professionals recommend man1 man oil look for one that includes a superior antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid good luck you could always use a condom but if not wait a few weeks for sure it would not be a bad idea to use an antibacterial penis health creme too i use one called man1 man

helpful answer the primary approach to properly managing acid reflux should be to actively identify and avoid certain foods that trigger your symptoms here are some of the common foods that can

smear does not necessarily indicate you have human papillomavirus hpv the pap test specifically screens women for cervical cancer an abnormal pap result does not mean you have cervical cancer in fact

are tested for hpv in answer to your question hpv is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases the centers for disease control estimate as many as 50 of sexually active men and women get hpv at some point in their lives often people who are infected with it have no symptoms so while it is not exactly true to say hpv can lie dormant in your system it is accurate to say you can be

was found at 3 yrs old at 4 she was diagnosed with scoliosis the dr said it was attributed to the spina bifida she also has severe asthma and allergies to food medications and pollendustetc how do these affect her immune system and why she is often absent from school and stays sick for longer periods of time,the simple answer to this is if both you and your fiance are fertile and you have unprotected sex then there is always a chance of pregnancy true you are more likely to get pregnant at certain times during your menstrual cycle specifically during the fertile window that occurs during and after ovulation but ovulation is a tricky thing to predict oddly enough the ovaries do not consult a calendar before releasing an egg so even a woman with a very regular cycle could get pregnant outside her fertile window period the only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test depending on the test you choose you may be able to find out as quickly as one day after a missed period read the kit is box and follow the instructions to the letter to get an accurate reading for best results test your urine first thing in the morning when hormones will be most concentrated in it whichever way you are hoping i wish you all the best +what exams and tests help doctors to evaluate or test people for influenza,doctors can diagnose influenza flu using your symptoms alone if many cases of a similar illness have occurred in the community and if the local health department has confirmed a flu outbreak tests to confirm you have the flu and to determine the type of virus may be important if the results may affect treatment decisions during a confirmed flu outbreak however testing may not be needed even if treatment with an antiviral medication is being considered in addition to flu like symptoms you have any unusual symptoms that suggest another condition health authorities have not identified any other cases of flu in your area testing may involve blood tests rarely used or a culture to identify the virus some cultures take 24 to 48 hours for results so they will not help your doctor decide whether to prescribe an antiviral medication a rapid flu test is now available that gives results in 30 minutes although this test is not 100 accurate it can be useful when deciding whether to use an antiviral medication webmd medical reference from healthwise this information

scoliosis and now suffer from right side lower backupper leg pain after long physical labor i was diagnosed in high school with scoliosis but it was not severe enough to have a brace made or surgery done i do have an obvious unbalance as one hip is higher than the other i recently got a well paying job with great benefits but it is very physical i lift light to moderately heavy boxes while walking long distances for 11 sometimes up to 13 hours and half way through each day i start to experience pain in my lower back and it travels down my right leg when i put weight on it,the back pain

thorough examination +i am a 21 year old guy trying to lose weight on a 1 200 1 500 calorie daily diet does it matter what i eat does it matter as long as i am eating fewer calories than i am burning,first you are a young male assuming that you are an average height of about 510 and you will be physically active consuming 1 200 calories is way too low for you i would aim closer to the range of 1 500 1 700 cals per day next up you really do need to eat higher quality food quality is important for health as well as weight reduction finally yes weight reduction will occur if you simply consume fewer calories and hopefully increase your physical activity you can eat five candy bars all day and drop weight if that is all you eat however eating junk plays havoc with your blood sugar levels and if it is high fat junk eating one pizza all day you will not be doing your heart any good as well the best way to go is to strive for balance you want healthy whole foods with some treats thrown in and you want to stay physically active why activity makes it 10 x easier to sustain your weight reduction +broke my collarbone last week now my feet are swelling with fluid any

shampoo make my hair fall out as soon as i quit using it it stopped i would like to get a keratin smoothing treatment but i have read similar stories where people lost their hair to the point of having bald spots breakage i could understand but my hair fell out at the root it does not make any sense,it sounds like you may have had some kind of allergic reaction to an ingredient in the shampoo normally when someone uses a product and develops symptoms that go away when they stop using the product it means an ingredient in the product was the cause of their symptoms it may not have been the keratin at all shampoos contain a wide variety of ingredients from perfumes to dyes it is possible your scalp really did not like one of the components of that particular shampoo is formula all that

a human is mouth and we do not like the same parts that dogs do infants raised with loving animals like dogs will grow up healthy and not have any more diseases than those raised without face licking dogs as a matter of fact the face licked babies may even be immunologically stronger with that said i do not think you should encourage dog saliva exposure but nor should you be appalled dogs express their love to humans by licking and this dog loves the baby +my 7 year old has been sick for a month fever productive cough fatigue three different antibiotics what is it today the doctor said he had a clean exam but she acknowledges something is wrong the fever had been hovering around 100 for the last several weeks but spiked to 103 9 today he had a chest crazy and blood work today no results yet what is keeping him so sick,as much as i would like to help you it is really impossible to diagnose anyone over the internet without the benefit of a detailed medical history some diagnostic tests

will it mess up my surgery to have it lanced now,medical conditions often do not wait until surgeons get around to dealing with it so the fact that it is painful now it would be best to have it treated now start by calling the surgeon is office to see if you can be seen earlier like today without knowing the medical details of your case type of cyst size location etc it would not be possible

come back in vogue to utilize a slow cooker or crock pot in general i am someone who likes to get great healthy food on the table fast i do not always do well with things that are slow however the amount of time it takes to prepare ingredients for the slow cooker is fast and i like that you do not have to think about it again until it is time to eat here are some tips on ways to revitalize flavor reverse bad past crock pot experiences and have a healthy savory meal that is not an overcooked pile of mush the first and most important tip to having a delicious crock pot meal is to choose the right type of ingredients this is where you should utilize ingredients that take longer to cook like traditionally tough cuts of meat these include brisket pork butt or an entire chicken by the way these are traditionally less expensive meats so if you are trying to budget for meals this is a great way to help with that — or if you are trying to budget for organic ingredients this is where you can upgrade to organic or natural cuts of meat when cooked for so many hours these tougher meats taste great and fall off the bone easily and you get the added benefit of pulling nutrients from the bone if you have had a bad experience with a crock pot most likely you have participated in the biggest mistake do not use canned vegetables in a slow cooker period ever using canned vegetables in a crock pot recipe will simply turn your meal into a vegetable smoothie canned vegetables are already overcooked when they are put in the can cooking them for another 6 8 hours will disintegrate them potatoes carrot onions and other firm veggies do well in a slow cooker using canned tomatoes is fine — mostly because you will probably be using them in a sauce so they hold up well absolute no nos canned green beans canned corn and canned peas actually let me go ahead and advise you to never use these canned vegetables if you can help it under seasoning is another mistake i see people make all the time since the food is cooking there for so long — the equivalent of a long slow boil — there needs to be a few levels of flavors there are a couple ways to do this if you are making a meat or bean dish i suggest sautéing savories like onions shallots or garlic in extra virgin olive oil first before you put in the crock pot the flavors seep into the oil better if you take this extra step also add fresh cut herbs at the very end or a squeeze of lemon or lime to brighten up the dish and give fresh flavor quickly add ingredients that are high in flavor for example fire roasted tomatoes

lifetime supply of eggs when they are babies inside their mother eggs are a time limited and time released supply time limited because all women will someday go through menopause and time released because each month only a small group of eggs gain the ability to compete to ovulate as egg number declines with aging the group of eggs competing to ovulate each month gets smaller with a smaller group of eggs competing each month women tend to ovulate sooner and have fewer days between periods eventually there are periods of time where an egg is not available and women will start skipping periods eventually there is not an egg available to ovulate and a woman will no longer have periods fertility testing includes tests for egg number and egg release test of egg number include fsh follicle stimulating hormone and amh antimullerian hormone fsh is the hormone that pushes eggs to move toward ovulation when egg supply is low fsh goes up fsh is high in menopause amh is made by eggs at an earlier stage in their journey toward ovulation amh is higher in women with more eggs and lower in women with fewer eggs amh is undetectable in menopause tests of egg release include progesterone progesterone is a hormone that is made by the ovary after ovulation if a woman has an elevated progesterone one week before her period she is ovulating if she does not she needs to see her doctor to find out why she is not ovulating the group of eggs that have the ability to ovulate will only compete if they receive the correct signals a physician will test hormone levels and make the necessary adjustments to induce ovulation egg number tests like amh and fsh predict how well you will respond to fertility drugs because they reflect the number of eggs competing to ovulate if fsh is high and amh is low a woman does not have many extra eggs to respond to medication if she has regular menstrual cycles with a progesterone proving ovulation she is getting at least one egg out if we try fertility medications and still get only one egg fertility drugs are not helping to improve chances of pregnancy as long as she continues to ovulate she has a chance for pregnancy if she wants to improve her chances after fertility drugs with her own eggs are not helping to increase the number of eggs released she can consider using donated eggs one percent of women will go through premature ovarian failure before age 40 a reproductive endocrinologist will test to see why egg number declined early and test to see if other glands thyroid parathyroid pancreas adrenal are showing

muscles were thicker and stronger after pelvic floor muscle training among women with urine leakage their thinner muscles became the thickness of healthy women is pelvic floor muscles additionally they had less urine leakage whether the problem was from stress or urge types of incontinence the use of vaginal cones andor kegel exercises to increase muscle strength were both found to improve tone

eye examination or using any drops currently so from the complaints you described there may be just a change in refraction if your refraction glass number is changing again and again then you might

450 degrees from there line a baking sheet with parchment paper and for each cake make about a cupcake size mass spread them out equally on the sheet pan drizzle a bit more olive oil on top for extra

chronic long term lung diseases that make it hard to breathe both diseases are chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases copd meaning they are conditions that cause a limitation in airflow emphysema and chronic bronchitis can occur separately or together and are usually the result of cigarette smoking in addition although it happens rarely a genetic form of emphysema can occur early in adulthood even if you never smoked in the united states copd is vastly underdiagnosed while only 15 to 20 of smokers are diagnosed with copd experts believe the majority of smokers develop some degree of airflow obstruction emphysema comes on gradually after years of exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke with emphysema the tiny air sacs in the lungs become damaged because the tiny sacs lose their stretch less air gets in and out of the lungs this causes you to feel short of breath with chronic bronchitis the airways that carry air to the lungs are inflamed and produce a lot of mucus the mucus and inflammation cause the airways to narrow or become obstructed making it difficult to breathe once the airways are irritated over a long period the lining of the airways becomes thickened this thickening of the airways results in an irritating cough hampered airflow and lung scarring the damaged airways then become a breeding place for bacterial infections such as pneumonia +can i get

is to help patients achieve remission of their type 2 diabetes this means their blood sugar levels have become normal in the absence of any diabetes medication many clinicians and patients are interested in learning my views about how to go about decreasing and discontinuing diabetes medications the main role for medications is to help reduce or delay the risk of nasty complications of diabetes particularly the damage to the retina kidney nerves and circulation the higher the average blood sugar level as indicated by the hemoglobin a1c level the greater the complication risk which increases exponentially with increasing a1c we know from clinical trials that using medication to keep the a1c at or below 7 can help reduce the risk of these complications there is broad agreement that clinicians should recommend starting or increasing diabetes medications to patients who cannot get their a1c level to 7 or less via lifestyle change many patients come to me because the a1c is already over 7 and their primary care provider proposes increasing their diabetes medication unless the patient can get to 7 or less with improved eating andor exercise habits some of these patients are already on many pills and insulin shots are the frequently the next appropriate treatment many patients would rather make the lifestyle changes than take more medication so when the doctor frames the issue in this way then a patient might become inspired to renew or increase the lifestyle efforts the clinician might say “let is recheck the a1c in three months and start the new medication if it is still above 7 0 ” there can be little doubt that using lifestyle changes to normalize the glucose levels and a1c is a good thing in contrast the strategy of driving the a1c well below 7 0 with multiple medications has little to offer most patients in terms of quality of life or reduced risk of complications most patients i see are already taking metformin which is the preferred second line treatment after lifestyle change i typically recommend initiating it in patients with a1c is of 6 5 who cannot push it any lower via lifestyle change for patients who are already on metformin i do not decrease the dose unless the a1c is 6 0 or less i might reduce the dose by half every three months as long as the a1c stays at 6 0 or less i stop the final 500 mg of metformin when the a1c is 6 0 or less for at least three months some drugs can lower the blood sugar levels below the normal range causing symptoms of hypoglycemia these drugs which include insulin and those in the sulfonylurea family which are common in patients on more than one kind of diabetes pill need to be reduced or discontinued by the clinician as required to avoid hypoglycemia so these are typically the first drugs to be discontinued it is important that patients who +where does shingles appear what parts of the body i think i might have again in a different place center of back at bra line,use anti inflammatory

silent gallstones are discovered in someone age 65 or older the chance of developing symptoms from the gallstones is only 20or less assuming a life span of 75 years in this instance it is reasonable not to treat the individual among younger people no treatment also might be appropriate if they have serious lifethreatening diseases for example serious heart disease that are likely to shorten their life span on the other hand in healthy young people treatment should be considered even for silent gallstones because the chances of developing symptoms from the gallstones over a lifetime is higher once symptoms begin treatment should be recommended since further symptoms are likely and more serious complications can be prevented cholecystectomy cholecystectomy removal of the gallbladder surgically is the standard treatment for gallstones in the gallbladder surgery may be done through a large abdominal incision or laparoscopically through small punctures of the abdominal wall laparoscopic surgery results in less pain and a faster recovery cholecystectomy has a low rate of complications but serious complications such as damage to the bile ducts and leakage of bile occasionally occur there also is risk associated with the general anesthesia that is necessary for either type of surgery problems following removal of the gallbladder are few digestion is not affected and no change in diet is necessary chronic diarrhea occurs in approximately 10 of patients sphincterotomy and extraction of gallstones sometimes a gallstone may be stuck in the hepatic or common bile ducts in such situations there usually are gallstones in the gallbladder as well and cholecystectomy is necessary it may be possible to remove the gallstone stuck in the duct at the time of surgery but this may not always be possible another way to remove gallstones in the duct before or after cholecystectomy is with sphincterotomy followed by extraction of the gallstone sphincterotomy involves cutting the muscle of the common bile duct sphincter at the junction of the common bile duct and the duodenum in order to allow easier access to the common bile duct the cutting is done with an electrosurgical instrument passed through the same type of endoscope that is used for ercp after the sphincter is cut instruments may be passed through the endoscope and up into the hepatic and common bile ducts to grab and pull out the gallstone or to crush the gallstone it also is possible to pass a lithotripsy instrument that uses high frequency sound waves to break up the gallstone complications of sphincterotomy and extraction of gallstones include the general anesthesia perforation of the bile ducts or duodenum bleeding and pancreatitis oral dissolution

weeks this is really up to the medical provider who sutured you you should not be leaving most sutures in for as long as have nor should you be taking them out yourself unless you were instructed how to do so and when i have no idea if this will hurt i do not have enough information nor do i know your skill level of doing this +sex toys and chlamydia how long would chlamydia cells be alive on sex toys i tested positive for chlamydia after my bf cheated i got treated but a few days later without thinking i picked up a sex toy which is not inserted just a stimulator and for a second it went in my mouth i realised and threw it away is there anyway that there were alive cells or infection from vaginal fluid which could dried and not been washed off that would still be alive after a few days or would the infection have died by then,it used to be said that when it dried it died but that is not always true for some micro organisms which can remain dormant for hours or even days after being

something with the liver she is on the waiting list for one in utah going on 19 years old they said she would never live past 9 and she takes tons of meds so are they at risk if i was in same room as them & if i touched things in the house and they touch it too what are the risks,ok so let is back up a moment and run through what shingles is how it gets transmitted and what effect it has on different groups of people shingles is caused by the varicella virus this is the same virus that causes chickenpox you cannot get shingles unless you have had chickenpox if you have had chickenpox you cannot catch shingles from coming in contact with someone who has shingles however people who never had chickenpox and have not been vaccinated for it can get chickenpox by coming into contact with the active weeping blisters of someone with shingles once the blisters crust over they are generally considered to be non infectious it is uncommon for people to develop chickenpox from exposure to shingles under any circumstances and i would think it nearly impossible under the circumstances you describe i can understand why you feel the need to take serious precautions but i think your loved ones can rest easy i doubt you could carry the shingles virus to them especially from indirect contact with someone whose rash is at least two weeks old wishing you well +i had the brilliant idea to

that a 4 year old child allergic to cats will also be allergic to dogs does it matter whether the catsdogs are male or female are some breeds of dog more allergenic than others if the symptom includes a puffy face which is not usual for her cat reactions could this be due to exposure to a dog or other allergenic,cats and dogs are different species but many higher allergic children are allergic to many animal danders to be sure just ask the medical provider for a blood test for cat dander as well longer haired dogs have more dander than the bald ones and there are some breeds that shed very little and are tauted as hypo allergenic dogs but i am skeptical the sex of the dog should not make a difference i never met a child that was only allergic to male dogs and not females etc w when an allergic person reacts and starts showing signs of allergy itching hives sneezing wheezing swelling etc we often blame the last thing they did something they ate touched inhaled or encountered but

chef and thinks its only for cooking with and salads and the aloe vera is great for sunburn and your skin see how you get on good luck +my 4 year old is on abilify we upped his dose a couple weeks ago and he started stuttering is this from the meds,there are no studies of aripiprazole or any other psychiatric drugs for that matter in children under 10 that does not mean we never use medicines in children under 10 but it does mean that the prescribing doctor needs to be extremely thoughtful about what they think they are treating and be very clear to the parents in explaining possible risks versus benefits small children have immature livers and so it is quite possible even a tiny dose of medicine will last longer than in an adolescent or adult abilify itself has a very long half life 2 weeks so may hang around for many weeks after it is stopped in such a small child presumably the doctor was using the smallest possible doses eg 2 mgday stuttering is not a commonly known side effect in adults but could reflect effects of aripiprazoleon the ability to control tongue or mouth muscles hopefully you are seeing an excellent child psychiatrist who knows what they are doing and who has experience is so unusual a use of a medicine like this and they should be able to guide you +my husband and i are trying to have a baby i was 10 days late for my period and today i am spotting

start date i am about to finish my sugar pills now,in short the answer is often a lot of couples trying to conceive spend a lot of energy timing sex with mathematical precision to the woman is ovulation theoretically the approach makes sense recent studies have shown the window of opportunity for a sperm to fertilize an egg is pretty small essentially it is only the four to five days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself your best chances are on the day before and the day of ovulation so the key would seem to be to have sex frequently in that five to six day window but while timing your lovemaking exclusively to those few days makes logical sense it has some drawbacks primarily because your body does not always behave with clockwork regularity even if your cycle is regular ovulation can occur at any time during the cycle if you are having sex on the day you think you are ovulating and you are off by a few days you may be out of luck so the expert advice is to hedge your bets have sex at least two to three times every week and if you have got the stamina why stop there studies have shown that as long as your partner has a normal sperm count having sex every day of the month further increases your chances +using colostomy bag after hernia surgery after 7 days have not passed stools,most probably paralytic ileus where yr gut is as its

the best oral hygiene maintenance method is to brush your teeth with a soft or medium toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste the electronic toothbrush does not offer any real additional benefit to normal individuals it is the movements of the toothbrush made by our hands that bring about thorough cleaning most of the toothpastes available in the market are good as long as they contain up to 1000 ppm fluoride brushing three times is good the main goal is to clean the food deposits from all areas rinsing the mouth after meals is good yet a simple method to keep the mouth clean using a mouthwash causes no real problem in relation to upsetting the microflora or healthy bacteria you can continue to use it once a day professional cleaning is recommended every 6 to 12 months depending on your plaque and calculus forming tendency due to plaque deposition over a long period there is temporary decalcification that might occur on the tooth surface thus on professional cleaning when it is removed there will a slight increased sensitivity however it does not remove the enamel layer at a significant level so once we continue to use the fluoride toothpaste with a toothbrush along with natural fluoride in water the tooth surface gets remineralized and then the sensitivity disappears for further information consult a dentist online > +how to correct vitamin b12 deficiency,i had gone

elliptical although it is pretty close about 100 calories per hour difference some of the difference is due to the pounding of running and the fact that you propel your body through the air so that both feet are off the ground simultaneously this kind of movement takes lots of energy both the elliptical and running burn substantially more calories than the bike at the same level of perceived exertion about 200 240 calories per hour more in a classic study comparing energy expenditure of exercise machines the order of calories burned from highest to lowest is posted below the elliptical was not studied in this research but it would fit between rowing and cross country skiing it should be noted that rowing the elliptical and cross country skiing are all very close in calorie expenditure with probably not more than 100 125 calories per hour difference among them treadmill walkingrunning stair stepping rowing cross country skiing biking stationary now this is not to say that exercises that burn the fewest calories are all bad to the contrary you can get a great workout and burn lots of calories doing any of them you would be hard pressed to say that lance armstrong is not fit he is one of the fittest human beings alive and he did it by biking the point is that if you work hard enough on any of the exercise machines and you work up a sweat and you get your heart rate into your training zone then your heart lungs and muscles are not going to know the difference bottom line is that you will get fit and healthy using any of the machines if you use them consistently and with sufficient intensity one final note there is error in estimating energy expenditure on most if not all exercise machines in some cases it can be as high as 25 percent the machine overestimates how many calories you burn there are simply too many variables for the machine to give you an accurate number and so you need to keep that in mind during weight loss efforts if you are calculating how many calories to eat based on your energy expenditure the answer depends on many different things since your weight the type of exercise how intense you are doing each exercise and how long you do each exercise will all influence how many calories you burn simply put however i would say that you have the potential to burn the most calories by running followed by biking and lastly by using the elliptical one way to measure how many calories you burn during exercise is to look at metabolic equivalents mets mets are a way to measure and gauge the amount of energy you burn during physical activity with 1 met being equal to the energy you burn simply being at rest for instance running at a 10 minute mile pace is roughly the equivalent +3 yr old son said he ate quarter 5 days ago i have been checking his poop and still nothing now what my son came to me and said he ate the money i could not find the quarter anywhere we did not see him eat it and he was not chocking i did

playing do i need t to bring him in or should we just roll with it its hard because we do not know if he actually ate it,a quarter is quite big but i have seem them harmlessly pass assuming that he did indeed swallow a quarter short of an x ray a safe and inexpensive way to find out if your three year old has a metallic coin is with a metal detector you can rent one or find out if you have a friend who may own one if a metal detector can not get a signal he probably did not swallow it if he suddenly becomes constipated or vomits you may have to expose him to a very low level abdominal x

symptoms of parkinson is that may be helped by exercise are slowness of movement stiffness and loss of balance and posture and so exercises that improve these should be done for improvement of balance try standing exercises as part of your pilates workout whether you are working on a mat or the equipment standing exercises challenge your muscles and your brain to maintain balance improvements in people with parkinson is are typically slow but they can occur if you work hard and consistently as for slowness flexibility and strength are part of the solution many pilates exercises work through a full range of motion and so stiffness and flexibility should improve make sure your instructor focuses some of the attention on a full range of movements and holding those positions to improve flexibility as for strength it typically improves quickly for beginners this is because strength is not only a function of the mass of the muscle but also because of improvements in nervous system patterning impulses from the brain through the central nervous system to the muscles when you pattern the transmission of impulses from the brain to the muscles by repeating exercises over and over the brain gets better at recruiting more muscles and you get stronger patterning is important for people with parkinson is because patterning may diminish with a loss of dopamine so repetition of the exercises should help pure strength is also important not only for activities of daily living but also for well being it is fair to say that under most conditions feeling strong feels better than feeling weak and since most of the pilates exercises build strength whether on the mat or the equipment there is certainly benefit to be gained one of the limitations observed with parkinson is patients who do pilates is the lack of motor training for the activities you do during your normal day like opening doors getting in and out of cars and walking so make sure your instructor helps you with that there is important research in animals to show that regular aerobic exercise has a positive effect on parkinsonian symptoms in one study scientists gave rats a medication that induces parkinson is disease by destroying brain cells that make dopamine after administration of the medication to all the rats the researchers then had half the rats exercise for seven days while the other half remained sedentary after the study they found that the exercising rats lost only 6 percent of their dopamine containing neurons whereas the sedentary rats lost 87 percent that is a substantial difference with the potential for important clinical improvements in symptoms based on those study results you might want to add aerobic exercise in addition to strengthening balance and flexibility work if you have trouble walking because of balance problems then try holding on to the side rails of the treadmill research proves that activities of daily living motor performance and ambulation improve even if you hold on and +i have a rash on my arms hands and back it seems to be an allergic reaction i am 5 months pregnant what i can do the place we are staying has bed bugs but i do not

cough +best treatment for infant contapation,it starts like a cold with congestion and upper respiratory symptoms after a week or so a cough develops the cough worsens over several days and the coughing fits may be so severe that you can not stop or catch your breath a coughing fit may be followed by a “whoop” as the person gasps to catch their breath it is these coughing fits called paroxysms which cause doctors to be worried about pertussis and try to confirm the diagnosis in people who have been vaccinated or who have had pertussis before the symptoms may be nonspecific pertussis is high on the list if that whoop is present but if it is absent pertussis may go unrecognized it is important to know that infants with pertussis do not always cough in young babies the first sign of pertussis may be difficulty breathing or pauses in breathing that last more than 20 seconds called “apnea ” apnea is serious and requires immediate medical attention for our infant 4mo daughter it started like a pretty normal cough 5 days later the cough had only gotten worse it went from one or two of the infant double cough pairs up to runs of 6 or 8 double cough pairs lasting more like ten seconds we took her to a walk in clinic for a persussis swab that day but she stopped breathing that night and turned blue we called the ambulance and it was a close call but still it is quite crazy how quickly it escalated if you do not hear the telltale whoop it can still be pertussis the whoop did not show up for us until after we had the apnea episodes and were already checked into the hospital the 50 or whatever for a walk in clinic could save your childs life if you end up in the hospital for a week like we did it will cost a lot more than that anyway if an infant is 6mo or older i would not be quick to run fearfully to the clinic but for young ones it is well worth the cautionary checkup if your child has had a cough for more than a few days +is there a supplement

area it is absolutely possible if you have breast fed in the past i do not know if this can happen if you have not breast fed before even semi distant past you can start producing milk again if your sexual partner does a lot of caressing and sucking on your breast if you are still ovulating andor having a period and even if you are using birth control this can happen it does not necessarily mean your pregnant you can always ask your partner if it taste like milk that would be a quick way to find out if it really is milk breast milk does tend to be sweeter than cow milk though hopefully this

treatment of conditions associated with overactive thyroid including hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancers rai treatment is based on the fact that the thyroid actively accumulates iodine which it uses

have trouble sitting still does he or she have trouble focusing and completing a task you may be wondering if your child has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder adhd for starters a diagnosis of adhd is based on a combination of inattentive impulsive and hyperactive behaviors that are inappropriate for the age of the child and most of the time adhd is not diagnosed until a child enters school

has the disorder when his or her child is going through the evaluation process q what signs should i be looking for in my child * hyperactivity a child will constantly fidget with his hands or body he may seem like he is always on the go he may have trouble sitting in his seat or playing quietly and he may talk incessantly * impulsivity a child will have trouble taking turns in play he may blurt out answers in the classroom or interrupt other children is activities as a result he may be rejected by his peers * inattention a child may be very disorganized and have trouble completing tasks even ones that are fun he may be forgetful and gloss over details q what is the difference between add and adhd the “h” stands for hyperactivity kids with add are not fidgety or loud and so they have fewer behavior problems in the classroom thus they often are diagnosed later — often a child will be eight or nine before add kids are identified q if i am worried about addadhd who should i turn to for

baby the term describes a range of physical and emotional changes that many new mothers experience the good news is postpartum depression can be treated with medication and counseling the chemical changes involve a rapid drop in hormones after delivery the actual link between this drop and depression is still not clear but what is known is that the levels of estrogen and progesterone the female reproductive hormones increase tenfold during pregnancy then they drop sharply after delivery by three days after a woman gives birth the levels of these hormones drop back to what they were before she got pregnant in addition to these chemical changes social and psychological changes associated with having a baby create an increased risk of depression +i was born with one kidney and tested

to the er and they worked on it for a couple of hours as well they put this clotting tissue on it which now is dried onto the wound does that have to come off or will it dissolve and my skin just close up over it it was not sutured because it was the entire pad of my finger,they may have used a product called gel foam or equivalent if this is the case just leave it alone the skin on your

anymore my period is extremely painful and heavy will a doctor give me a hysterectomy or am i to young,it would be highly unlikely for any surgeon or an insurance company that would pay for this elective procedure to agree that a hysterectomy is the way to go at this point it is not just your age that is a contributing factor but a hysterectomy is not medically indicated in most cases just because you have two kids and your periods are heavypainful see your gynecologist and i am sure there are other solutions to answer your concerns that are considerably less riskier than removing your uterus thank you for asking with the age of just 18 i am afraid going for hysterectomy is unwise although possible procedures like hysterectomy are permanent and there is no coming back and depression and other psychological accidents are common in such women as well also there is a long life ahead for you you may wanna change your mind to have another child due to any reason and then you will need a uterus to conceive so my suggestion is do not opt for it unless you have some severe problem with uterus like heavy periods etc hysterectomy can wait till 35 years or older age i hope it helps

other medicines especially antidepressants people stabilize and are less likely to try to hurt themselves a study by researchers at columbia university a couple of years ago compared suicidal behaviors in a large group of bipolar patients who were taking lithium or depakote over several years and found no differences between the two +can a yeast infection cause a bright redness from groin

are breathing hard your heart is thumping blood is coursing through your vessels to deliver oxygen to the muscles to keep you moving and you sustain the activity for more than just a few minutes that is aerobic exercise any activity that you can sustain for more than just a few minutes while your heart lungs and muscles work overtime the beginning it all starts with breathing the average healthy adult inhales and exhales about 7 to 8 liters of air per minute once you fill your lungs the oxygen in the air air contains approximately 20 oxygen is filtered through small branches of tubes called bronchioles until it reaches the alveoli the alveoli are tiny sacs they kind of look like bunches of grapes and you have about 300 000 000 in each lung where oxygen diffuses enters into the blood from there it is a beeline direct to the heart getting to the heart of it the heart has four chambers that fill with blood and pump blood two atria and two ventricles and some very large and active coronary arteries because of all this action the heart needs a fresh supply of oxygen and as you just learned the lungs provide it once the heart uses what it needs it pumps the blood the oxygen and other nutrients out through the large left ventricle and through the circulatory system to all the organs muscles and tissue that need it a whole lot of pumping going on your heart beats approximately 60 80 times per minute at rest 100 000 times a day more than 30 million times per year and about 2 5 billion times in a 70 year lifetime every beat of your heart sends a volume of blood along with oxygen and many other life sustaining nutrients circulating through your body the average healthy adult heart pumps about 5 liters of blood per minute oxygen consumption and muscles all that oxygen being pumped by the blood is important you may be familiar with the term oxygen consumption in science it is labeled vo 2 or volume of oxygen consumed it is the amount of oxygen the muscles extract or consume from the blood and it is expressed as mlkgminute milliliters per kilogram of body weight muscles are like engines that run on fuel just like an automobile that runs on fuel only our muscles use fat and carbohydrates instead of gasoline oxygen is a key player because once inside the muscle it is used to burn fat and carbohydrates for fuel to keep our engines running the more efficient our muscles are at consuming oxygen the more fuel we can burn the more fit we are and the longer we can exercise +what should i do if i have gastroenteritis,the good news is that most cases of

for chickenpox should i be around him and how long should i stay away what steps do to disinfect his home,keloid scars do happen in some people more than others and it typically is a genetic potential that makes you prone to that what we use to treat keloids are a combination of two things often simply cortisone injections into the scars themselves over time it takes a few treatments usually done at four six week intervals will help flatten those scars there will still be a scar but it will be smoother and flatter the other thing that we can use is a pulsed dye laser that targets the blood vessel in the scar and helps it flatten so those two sometimes used together can help that area heal and become smoother softer and flatter more quickly over time you may have to repeat the treatment because sometimes keloids reform over time but typically after a few treatments you will see the area get better and then maybe once a year or so you will have to retreat +my son is 23 yrs old he is

can i deal with my fibromyalgia at work,do not panic if you are told that your mammogram is abnormal or that there is a spot on your mammogram an abnormal mammogram does not mean you have cancer the overwhelming majority of abnormal mammograms are caused by benign harmless processes in some cases it may just be an area of thicker or more dense breast tissue a cyst or a benign lump such as a fibroadenoma when a mammogram detects a suspicious area the patient may be advised to obtain further mammograms of that area to have an ultrasound or other imaging study of the breast to see a specialist in diseases of the breast this is usually a general surgeon or to have a biopsy performed of the suspicious area a breast biopsy is the removal of a piece of breast tissue for examination under a microscope the biopsy can be performed surgically in which an incision is made and the area removed or it can be done as a stereotactic core biopsy stereotactic core biopsy is a technique of removing samples of the suspicious area without the need for traditional surgery in this technique the doctor with the aid of a special mammography machine and a computer can identify precisely the abnormality in the breast and then obtain very thin core samples of breast tissue with a special needle this biopsy test is done with only a local anesthetic in the area of the needle puncture and is generally painless fortunately most breast biopsies give benign results while mammography is not sufficiently accurate to diagnose or exclude breast cancer alone it is currently the best method available to screen for breast cancer since its more widespread routine use breast cancers are found when they are significantly smaller and more curable more women are surviving breast cancer as a result of mammography and early cancer treatment continued use of routine mammography should be encouraged until a better alternative in breast cancer detection has been found +what causes ulcerative

rate,there may be two reasons one reason would be that he is in great shape runners tend to have slower heart rates 50 60 bpm so if he is a runner in good shape this could account for a slower and

condition where one vertebra slips forward over an adjacent vertebra it typically occurs in the lumbar spine and is the result of an injury to or degeneration of one or both of the facet joints of the bone facet joints help support the weight of the spine and control movement extension flexion and twisting symptoms of spondylolisthesis although not present in everyone it depends on the degree of slippage can include pain in the low back thighs or legs pain is due to inflammation of the facet joint or compression impingement or shear forces on a disc the condition is also associated with muscle spasms weakness and tightness low back and hamstrings exercises that emphasize proper body mechanics and stabilize the spine during movements like flexion and extension and stretches for the low back and hamstrings should be prescribed pelvic tilts abdominal crunches with legs on a chair leg raises with knees bent and abdominal muscles contracted the bent knee is lifted and gluteal piriformis and hamstring stretches can all be helpful proper ergonomics while seated at a desk proper posture while standing and safe lifting technique should all be taught exercises to avoid are

grade of spondylolisthesis no exercises should be performed if the individual has symptoms and exercises that cause pain should be stopped immediately you should speak with your client is doctor

9 months of age and some experts feel kids do not have seasonal allergies until closer to 2 or 3 years old if your baby does not have a fever and seems to be fine except for the noisy breathing it is probably nothing to worry about but if the stuffy nose interferes with sleep or feeding or if he seems to be in pain be sure to have your doctor check him out +can i take a pregnancy test before my

since then before 4 weeks ago it had been 6 months since she had sex now her period is late and she is feeling sick she has recently started nipple stimulations to have larger breasts i know that stimulations can induce labor so could that combined with a lot of recent stress the sudden sexual activity and a common cold or the flu account for the missed period,if shes had a missed period that isnt coming and her test said positive shes probably pregnant and can make an ulrasound appointment to confirm if shes missed her period and the test says negative and shes taken multiple at home

the vagina its in there for 3 weeks take out for a week then in goes a new one its either these or what you have said or she try is a new brand of pill but after this long on one pill it would be a

something on his legs every few days a few more would pop up he has about 15 20 bites after a week or two i started getting these bites he is not in a daycare except on sundays in the nursery is scabies something he had to get passed to himor how is it accrued by the first person in order to pass it also i found the return air duct under the house is on the ground after it rained it filled my home with a musty dirt smell could this have done it,scabies assuming he was accurately diagnosed is a human parasite it is passed on to him by another human it could be from someone the cares for him at the sunday nursery or it did not come from the faulty air duct +accidental use of kleenex anti viral tissues on vagina now lightly burns and appears red could the tissues cause it used tissues to wipe upon a slight burning sensation i checked the box and realized they contained citric acid and sodium lauryl sulfate the area on the outermost part of my vagina is now red with small barely raised bumps does this sound like irritation i am worried because i recently found a small bump outside the opening of my vagina i believe to be a cyst due to shaving i am prone to ingrown hairshave sensitive skin the bump is smooth and is definitely not a sore or cauliflower in shape,it is not the strongest antibiotic for kids but it is effective for bacterial sinusitis bacterial sinusitis is uncommon in two year olds since most of their sinuses are immature and undeveloped at this age statistically most of these toddler sinus infections are viral and viruses as you probably know will not respond to any antibiotic no matter how strong bacterial sinusitis assuming this is what your two year old actually has can be tricky to treat often requiring longer antibiotic courses or a different type of antibiotic failure to respond in seven days may necessitate a re evaluation of this treatment regime just because he still has thick or colored mucous does not mean that a the antibiotic is not helping or b the cause is bacterial and not viral viral infections can cause stagnation of mucous and that alone can result in thick green yellow mucous you can not really use snot color as a diagnostic clue no matter what your mother told you +i am undergoing chemotherapy and it is taken a toll on my face and skin when i am well again will my skin get better,hi you are almost having like bronchitis symptoms which is turned on with cool air and temperature changes if you are having a dry cough this will cause irritation and scratching of the throat causing some blood to come out if so then you can just take an anti histamine once daily to avoid the symptoms if your cough is productive of sputum then you will need to get an expectorant and drink plenty of warm fluids… +zyrtec and

fever for two days now so far the highest temp being 101 3f now its around 100f and i cant get it to break with meds ive tried a cool bath still nothing she also has a cough with the fever could it be because he two year mollers are coming in idk what to do i never had this problem with my son,a fever is the body is natural way of fighting an infection a fever does not need to be broken or even treated especially a low grade fever like 101 3 i see children every day with fevers in the 104 105 range no problems no brain damage and no need to really treat them unless you do so clearly for comfort did you know that cool baths can actually increase the fever when the thermal sensors on the skin detect that the child is cold the brain will respond and attempt to increase body heat fever is good and should not be feared with that said the cause of the fever cannot be determined unless the child has a proper medical examination a hospital er is really not the best place and you will likely wait and wait and wait until you are seen since mildly ill people go the back of the line go to an urgent care facility if you want or you can just wait it out please spend some time and re educate yourself about the medical benefits of fever in children i can assure you that it is quite different than what you mother or grandmother taught you to believe +i have been getting really sever rib pains on both side and front and back,most probable cause can be costochondritis that is inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join get a physician examination done and chest x ray

arthritis,with proper therapy the children with arthritis will usually improve over time indeed the vast majority of children with arthritis grow up to lead normal lives without significant difficulty even for severe cases with proper medications proper physical and occupational therapy and proper surgery if necessary virtually no one with arthritis should need a wheelchair everyone is doctor knows stories of children who looked awful but did very well or looked like it was nothing serious who became very sick but these are the rare exceptions there are many recent significant improvements in treating children with arthritis for over 95 of the children with arthritis today we do not need new drugs or miraculous inventions we just need proper application of the resources we already have there are three important things for every child or adolescent with arthritis first is proper recognition and diagnosis of the disease second is proper treatment by an experienced physician with multidisciplinary support including physical and occupational therapists and orthopedic surgeons third is proper education of the patient and family people with arthritis are no different than everyone else in the world they all need to grow up have jobs get married and have families some will have some difficulty with mechanical problems many will have small things they can not do if you watch them carefully few will go on to be professional athletes or military officers but even fewer will be totally disabled by their disease there are far more children who are disabled because they are told they could not do things than children who are really disabled by their disease we should never accept a child with arthritis being told to use a wheelchair in almost every case it is hoped that we will be able to correct the problem and get them walking again this is why educating the public and physicians is so important it must be appreciated that children can develop arthritis and must be properly diagnosed and treated each child should be able to reach his or her full potential children with arthritis should be treated just like everyone else they need the same discipline the same allowance the same grades and the same respect as all the other children arthritis might affect the body but it must never be allowed to affect the mind +90 yr old mom in hospital with flu or pneumonia gets sepsis and passes why previous health issues high blood pressure fluid retention otherwise good health for a 90 year old,no it is not unusual the effects of the illness will still exist because it takes a while a week or so for the bug to be annihilated by the penicillin and your immune system also penicillin increases your white blood cell count and so your own body is still fighting the bug the medication itself does not fight it your body is still going through the purging process of getting rid of the bug so you will still feel sick and tired for a while taking too much penicillin can cause ill effects as well so try not to do that just let it run it is course +when do i use an antacid versus an h2 blocker versus a proton pump inhibitor,that is a great question and it all depends on how frequent your heartburn is if you just have an occasional bout of heartburn for instance you ate a spicy meal then you can use a regular antacid a maalox or a mylanta product you want to make sure though that you shake it really well a lot of people forget about that also too if you are taking medications you may need to space it either take it an hour before you take your medications or two hours afterwards because it can actually bind to the medicine and therefore the medicine will not work as well if you notice though that you have like two days in a row where you have had consistent heartburn then you may want to try a h2 blocker pepcid is one consideration zantac you want to talk to your pharmacist though and let us know if you are taking any other medications zantac has a tendency to interact with other medicines so if you have your medication list handy we can take a look at it and make sure there is no potential for drug interactions if it is two or more episodes a week that you are experiencing heartburn then you are going to want to go towards the proton pump inhibitor and prilosec otc is an example of that you want to use it for 14 days but once again you want to talk to your pharmacist to make sure that you are not taking any other medicines or possibly taking any duplicate medicines that could do the same thing then also if you are not feeling well after the 14 days a pharmacist is probably going to refer you back to your doctor or healthcare provider because it probably needs a little bit more evaluation +red shiny penile skin after cortisone use i used cortisone cream for a few weeks for dermatitis on my penis and the rash cleared up but my skin looks tight and shiny now my dr said to use vitamin e i am wondering if a penis health cream man1 man oil would do the trick,body heat and fungal infection also present in a similar fashion apply local anti septic ointments and wait for 8 days avoid drinking hot liquids +why are men is bathrooms so dirty,according to a recent study 85 percent of americans are washing their hands after using a public bathroom improved from 77 percent a few years ago the other 15 percent are contaminating the rest of our world nearly three times as many women wash their hands than men however apparently men have a prevailing assumption that if you do not pee on your fingers you do not need to wash your hands personally i am not overly worried about the pee guys but i do worry about the men behind those stall doors men is restrooms are considerably nastier than the women is facilities so i am told if i am forced to use a public restroom i try not to touch anything if i can help it i consider bathrooms stalls the most contaminated rooms on this planet i would love to put on some type of biological hazard suit but this is not practical i have seen impatient dancing women quickly use a men is room when the line to the women is restroom is too long it only takes one of these experiences to truly appreciate the difference for the first time i would like to reveal the inner workings of a typical men is room there is usually a bank of urinals against one wall about five men do not like to stand side by side with another man peeing so whenever possible an unused urinal becomes the “buffer ” some urinals have little walls between them but most are open there may or may not be a lower urinal for little boys in the stalls i would be shocked not to find urine on the seat even though urine is usually sterile no one wants to ever sit on it men like urinals sort of but little boys do not they are either too short to use them or too shy given a choice little boys head for the stall where they will freely pee on the seat the floor and the flush handle before finding their mark i would be shocked not to find sticky urine on the floor near the toilet men do not like to sit on strange toilets given the choice they prefer the one at home well stocked with reading material unlike women men have not developed the fine art of toilet seat hovering men are accustomed to sitting down and reading for a while women typically pee and leave no one really knows the best toilet stall to use i guess the best one would be the handicap stall but that is not very nice to occupy most will use the stall most distant from the door however you do tend to select the one that looks the cleanest and has a flushed toilet if you must use a stall you really do not want to pick a stall next to an actively occupied one it can be disconcerting to hear all of those bathroom noises next door or +is there a downside to oral erection drugs,well the downside to these products is that there are side effects for example men that have certain high blood pressure disorders are taking nitrate medications if you mix these oral erection drugs with that you can drop your blood pressure and have a serious complication this is why men who take viagra levitra and cialis if after having sex they have a heart attack they have to tell the paramedics and er doctors they have this product in their systems because one of the first things the doctors will want to do is put nitrates into their blood to stabilize their heart and their blood pressure the combination can be deadly there can be some visual disorders one of the big side effects is that the drug really is not being used correctly for many men they are either not being given enough trials with it it sometimes takes several doses before it is effective they try it once and they say it is not going to work and they will go try something else the other thing is it is become very recreational a lot of guys who do not need it are taking it which raises some concerns why because it is almost become the thing to do you know you take the drug and you are guaranteed a good erection well if you had good erections before it probably will not help but it is just kind of a macho kind of a way of just kind of having fun the other concern is that for most men that have true erectile dysfunction that is a symptom of something far more serious whether it is diabetes hormone problems metabolic problems vascular disorders that is an early warning sign and by simply throwing viagra levitra cialis at them and not addressing the cause i am really doing them a lot of disservice if it is truly the first warning sign of potential coronary artery disease i mean if it is the first warning sign of coronary artery disease and you do not do the right workup the guy may get great erections but he may have a heart attack in a year or two that could have been prevented it is essential that you understand why it is you have erectile dysfunction some men just get it and that is the way that you are but you want to make sure that there is nothing serious that you are missing +is a hot or cold compress good for a trigger finger,pain with urination can be urethritis irritation of the urinary opening

like desogen because it makes my skin very clear is there a risk to taking these together,your gynecologist andor pharmacist can tell you about that if you are not getting too much hormone you could

missing ingredient is available separately +is it common to have spasms with a splenic cyst and be unable to keep food down,spasms can occur with splenic cyst though dyspepsia is unrelated if the cyst

problem with acne in middle and high school years and have been prescribed creams to medication but none truly worked i then researched online and noticed a lot of acne comes from the food that you eat and deficiencies in zinc and vitamin a and c i went to a local cvs and purchased zinc tablets which helps in reducing oil levels from a range of 35 100mg a day be careful as overdose can occur with excessive amounts i also began eating carrots and foods with vitamin c which can be googled if scarring happens you should invest in apple cider vinegar and apply to a cotton ball and place on scar for a couple of minutes before the shower which helps removing old skin layers and making new ones that has helped my scars tremendously after 1 2 months then in the shower i recommend a body

is for herpes it will not treat hemorrhoids in any way or form +why do i have heavy bleeding for 2 3 weeks when i get my period my doctor is supposed to send me for an ultrasound,there are two major reasons for very prolongedheavy periods hormonal and what i call structural structural means when excessive bleeding is due to actual problems within the cavity or walls of the uterus some examples of this would include fibroids of the uterus endometriosis of the muscular wall of the uterus adenomyosis infections of the lining of the uterus polyps of the uterine lining or even uterine cancer hormonal causes are usually linked to missed or erratic ovulations as you may know in a normal cycle estrogen is produced all month estrogen is responsible for building up the lining of your uterus so you have something to shed each month in a normal cycle progesterone production increases following ovulation progesterone stabilizes the uterine lining in preparation for a possible implantation of a new pregnancy if you are not pregnant that month the levels of estrogen and progesterone fall triggering the release of the uterine lining—your period so if you do not ovulate the estrogen build up of the lining continues but without the usual ovulation associated progesterone thus the hormone levels do not decline and the lining stays up inside the uterus—your missedlate period alternatively the lining can begin to shed under its own weight producing prolonged bleeding another way inadequate progesterone production from missed ovulations can create too heavy a flow is as follows simply stated if the uterine lining is like grass or lawn estrogen is like the fertilizer causes proliferation and a thickening of the lining and progesterone is like the lawnmower keeps the lining thin by three different mechanisms this is why depoprovera high dose synthetic progesterone brings about a thin lining and why birth control pills relatively progesterone dominant bring about shorter lighter periods it is also why women who miss ovulations no progesterone produced are at a greater risk for too thick lining causes for not ovulating are multifold thyroid problems pituitary problems ovarian cysts physical stressors e g sudden increases in exercise crash dieting emotional stressors problems with spouses kids job money increased body weight anorexia rotating shifts at work etc if they are sending you for an ultrasound that can accomplish two things an ultrasound should be able to visualize fibroids of the uterus or suggest polyps an ultrasound can also measure the thickness of your uterine lining a very thick lining can suggest a hormonal cause like missed ovulations an ultrasound should be able to visualize an ovarian cyst if that was the cause of missed ovulations lastly as we age ovulations tend to decrease or if they occur the amount of progesterone produced may be less structural causes such as fibroids or polyps also tend to be more common as we age hopefully you will get a more for sure answer after your ultrasound +how can i overcome the problem of assuming things,its a hair follicle infection due to poorly maintained axillary hygiene the roots of the axillary

plaque of peyronie is disease often shrinks or disappears without treatment most doctors suggest waiting one to two years or longer before attempting to correct it with surgery in many cases surgery produces positive results but because complications can occur and because many of the problems associated with peyronie is disease for example shortening of the penis are not corrected by surgery most doctors prefer to perform surgery only on men with curvatures so severe that sexual intercourse is impossible there are two surgical techniques used to treat peyronie is disease one method involves the removal of the plaque followed by placement of a patch of skin or artificial material skin graft with the second technique the surgeon removes or pinches the tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque which cancels out the bending effect the first method can involve partial loss of erectile function especially rigidity the second method known as the nesbit procedure causes a shortening of the erect penis penile implants can be used in cases where peyronie is disease has affected the man is ability to achieve or maintain an erection a non surgical treatment for peyronie is disease involves injecting medication directly into the plaque in an attempt to soften the affected tissue decrease the pain and correct the curvature of the penis vitamin e pills haves also been shown to benefit some men with peyronie is disease another less invasive option is laser treatment to thin the plaques of peyronie is disease +what could possible cause a scabsore formation on the

mole was on my forearm my doctor burned it off now it is red an very itchy whats causing it to do that,assuming you had this mole removed recently i would say the redness and itching are a normal part of the healing process as the body heals a wound in this case the one caused by having the mole burned off it employs several types of cells and chemical compounds to repair the skin layers that have been damaged during that process a chemical compound called histamine can be released histamine can cause itching along similar lines the redness can be caused by various cells and the body is chemical response to the wound it is important you not scratch this patch of skin while it is healing if you pull the scab off a scar can form it is ok to rub the area with the flat of your hand if you are concerned about scratching during your sleep put socks on your hands i know it sounds wacky but it will keep you from accidentally scratching your face with a fingernail while you sleep the

involve areas where the sun does not shine if you know what i mean +is there any treatment for chronic severe diarrhea after gall bladder removal,diarrhea is troubling in 10 of people who have their gallbladders removed the diarrhea is believed to be due to the fact that following removal of the gallbladder the intestines contain more bile acids than under normal conditions in which bile acids are stored for much of the day in the gallbladder bile acids cause diarrhea by promoting the secretion of fluid by the intestines and perhaps by stimulating the intestinal muscles to contract there are no good studies of treatment of this type of diarrhea but two treatments have been proposed and appear to be effective the first are medications for example cholestyramine that attach to bile acids in the intestine and prevent them from interacting with the intestine the second are fatty acid medications for example oleic acid that may act by slowing down the intestinal muscle and perhaps by reducing secretion of fluid although the exact mechanism of action of oleic acid in these patients has not been studied it is also important remember that there are many other causes of chronic severe diarrhea such as celiac sprue ulcerative colitis crohn is disease microscopic colitis and many more it is important to work with you doctor to arrive at a firm diagnosis for best treatment

a sharp dull or burning pain that can range from mild to very painful even if the trapped fluid in the ear is not infected the fluid puts pressure on the eardrum causing it to bulge and throb with an earache from a cold you or your child may have difficulty sleeping run a fever and have green or yellow mucus in the nose because colds are self limiting an earache with a cold usually goes away on its own still if you have an earache an ear infection may be likely which means you might need to see your doctor for a diagnosis and proper treatment while earaches can occur first with a cold virus sometimes a secondary ear infection may occur these ear infections are usually sudden in onset and extremely painful in the beginning that is because the sensory nerve endings in the eardrum respond to increased pressure with pain after the eardrum stretches a little the earache pain may ease up other symptoms of an earache from an ear infection may include the following loss of appetite this may be apparent in young children especially during bottle feedings pressure changes in the middle ear as the child swallows causing more pain irritability poor sleep pain may be more persistent when lying down as fluid is shifting fever ear infections can cause temperatures up to 104 degrees f vertigo you may have a sense of spinning drainage from the ear yellow brown or white fluid that is not earwax may seep from the ear indicating the eardrum has ruptured difficulty hearing fluid build up in the middle ear prevents the eardrum from functioning properly the sound is then unable to be

airway disease and it is better to be sure before giving this medicine this mostly looks like hyper reactive airway disease for which the initial treatment is a common cough and cold medicines if this does not reduce then you should add dexona or even better hydrocortisone later on you should add montelukast and if this also does not take care of the issue then nebulization with duolin salbutamol and ipratropium and budecort budesonide is advised the last drug route of choice is inhalers these are the steps involved in the treatment and control of hyper reactive airway disease this treatment plan should be made by a physician in person after detailed evaluation as of now you can use dexona but with the consent of the physician and after the tests that i told you so that we can be sure

flaking it also can cause pain you can see a dermatologist for more information and medications to treat seborrheic dermatitis there are prescription creams that can help calm flare ups there is no truth whatsoever to the claim that mayonnaise or vitamin e oil will cure seborrheic dermatitis it is possible applying an oil like vitamin e will improve the appearance of scaly patches but then again

but i have lumps the same size in both breasts ifwhen somebody bumps into me and accidentally hits my breast it is very painful the lumps seem to not be connected in any way to the nipple however they seem to be fairly large i know breast cancer is practically impossible for someone my age but what could it possibly be thank you,you may have breast cysts or your normal breast tissue is reacting to hormonal changes during your cycle either way it is important that you have your breasts properly examined you can see your primary care medical provider or ask to see a gynecologist you are correct that 15 year olds would not likely have breast cancer so the most logical explanation would be benign cysts or fibrocystic breast lumps but this cannot be conclusively determined blindly over the internet +should young athletes be screened for heart conditions,pre participation sports evaluations are a hot topic – despite the growing data in support of testing we still have not collectively agreed on the best way to screen young people many are familiar with the italian experience of screening all young athletes with electrocardiograms – this practice has diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other conditions and likely has prevented many deaths but a limitation of screening many people for less common conditions is that some people without underlying heart conditions may have abnormal electrocardiograms leading to more expensive testing and given limited resources we unfortunately must consider both benefit and cost some have argued that sudden death from undiagnosed cardiac conditions is so uncommon that we frankly can not afford to screen everyone but recent research may suggest that screening with electrocardiograms may be cost effective according to commonly accepted thresholds one of my good friends from cardiology fellowship euan ashley who heads the stanford hypertrophic cardiomyopathy center recently published an article which directly addresses the question of whether screening athletes with electrocardiograms in addition to a medical history and physical exam is cost effective as compared to a history and physical alone cost effectiveness is typically judged in terms of cost per life year saved euan and his team found that adding electrocardiograms to a screening program saved approximately 2 1 life years per 1000 people tested at an additional cost of about 89 dollars per athlete this suggests a cost effectiveness ratio of about 43 000 per life year saved in general procedures are felt to be cost effective if they cost less than 50 000 per life year saved to give some perspective hemodialysis for end stage kidney disease has a ratio that falls in the range of approximately 50 000 scientific data can guide us but it does not help balance our budgets while we might find that a given procedure treatment or screening test may be cost effective by standard definitions that still does not mean that we have the money to do it and it is unlikely that we will stop paying for previously accepted procedures in favor of others that may be cheaper electrocardiograms and kidney dialysis are apples and oranges but the data does raise questions moving forward given limited resources who should be entitled to potentially life saving cardiac screening the nfl nba and increasingly mls have access to some of the best medical care around it is my hope that if we get our act together with regards to screening our professional athletes appropriately than perhaps we can focus the conversation on our sons and daughters who i would love to see screened on a more consistent basis in the future +i had a partial hysterectomy still have periods ovaries cervix small amt uteran tissue odds of getting pregnant the

atomoxetine takes a month or more before it works fully and it is for this reason that many doctors do not discontinue this medication over the summer if you only have 2 months off for the summer and you would want to resume the medication 5 6 weeks before school it does not lead to much of a medication holiday +pregnancy by bj i gave my husband a bj and he did not come in my mouth in a tissue

during their lives +what are the risks of ultrasound,there are no known risks to ultrasound and as technology has improved the machines have become smaller portable and available for use at the patient is bedside +is it better to apply heat or cold to sore muscles after stenuous exercise,most helpful answer everything i have read says cold if there is tissue damage the cold constricts blood flow which reduces spread of cellular components which can cause rupture of nearby cells making the injury worse and longer to heal heat is not usually applied to an injury until 72 hours have passed this is to increase circulation and promote healing more recent research shows movement of skeletal muscles produces hormone like substances that promote and speed healing of damaged or inflamed tissues throughout the body so if you can move do lastly a small meal of four parts carbs and one part protein within 90 minutes of exercise will help speed muscle recovery the body will use that energy and protein to quickly try to re construct those damaged tissues this information is from exercise physiology ice is typically among the first thing to do in the recovery process after strenuous exercise icing your muscles helps to reduce pain and decrease swelling and inflammation ice causes your blood vessels to narrow which will reduce your blood flow to the muscle or injured area never place ice directly on your skin however wrap an ice pack around a thin cloth and place on the affected muscle for ten minutes at a time you can use ice multiple times per day for a few days after exercise but make sure to allow for your skin to return to room temperature before icing after each 10 minute interval heat is typically applied to uscles or injuries that do not have swelling or inflammation heat will cause your blood vessels to expand which improves circulation and allows more blood to go to the affected area heat can be useful for chronic injuries and muscle soreness or it can be used before exercise to stimulate blood flow and help prepare the muscle for exercise heat should also not be directly applied to skin and should be used for short 10 15 minute intervals always check with your doctor before starting treatment of an injury especially if the condition worsens or fails to improve within the first few days of an injury ice can help the process of healing applying ice to injured tissue can cause blood vessels to shrink and this makes them less capable of releasing chemicals that lead to swelling inflammation and pain after a few days it probably best to apply heat to sore muscles this makes muscle spasms less likely and relaxes injured muscles however because the events behind every injury are different speak with your doctor first i have just spent the last 6 weeks in physical therapy they always apply heat or have me get on a bike to heat up my muscles for 15 minutes before i go through any table massage work next i do all my exercises then they end the session with 10 minutes of ice somtimes what contributes to soreness is 1 lack of warm up so insuffcicient oxygen was available to fuel +i have had 2 knee operations knee feels like

try and prove with other alcohols but i can suggest 2 glasses of red wine a day regards zoran markanovic dartmouth ns canada,only one study has shown that red wine can potentially benefit people with

doctors take out less since it is dangerous to take out more in fact you might even retain water after the surgery which could increase weight and if you do consume more calories then you burn you will gain weight liposuction or not the point is this if you do not continue with or start lifestyle changes like regular exercise and consuming the same or fewer calories than you burn then you will gain weight liposuction simply is not a substitute for these things and does not magically cause weight loss you can ask the doctor how much fat was removed and get the weight of it and if you have another procedure that would add to it but again if you are loooking for significant weight loss liposuction will not do that +does a tetanus shot help prevent or lessen the occurance of cold

cultures and demonstrated with varying success in adoptive mothers it appears plausible that the possibility of induction of lactation in women or females of other species who are not biological mothers does confer an evolutionary advantage especially in groups with high maternal mortality and tight social bonds the phenomenon has been also observed in most primates in some lemurs and in dwarf mongooses lactation can be induced in humans by a combination of physical and psychological stimulation by drugs or by a combination of those methods some couples may stimulate lactation outside of pregnancy for sexual purposes now what is above may sound a bit odd now read this bit below the stimulation need not be intentional epidermal touching such as with finger tips tongue or lips mental stimulation with normal brushing of nipples against the inside of brassiers can induce lactation of course it may be embarrasing but you should not be scared if it really bothers you try avoiding sexual thoughts or remove focus on some one you find attractive wear a bra one size larger etc have also found you this lactating is linked to the hormone named prolactin only when that hormone is very high you can lactate in a normal situation that hormone is high during last months of pregnancy and after the child is born and continues to be high for the duration of breast feeding if the prolactin is high without pregnancychild breast feeding it means that your hormonal system is out of balanced in a big way simple blood tests with your md full hormonal pannel blood tests will you

cause is long term stress untreated it will eventually get to sterility and very early menopause if you are talking about a pituitary tumor there is medication and holistic natural way of treating it

hair rests at the end of the telogen phase the hair falls out and is replaced by new hair the average person loses about 100 hairs each day losing excess hair can be a normal part of growing older but it also can have other causes including drugs or disease as they age men tend to lose the hair on top of their head which eventually leaves a horseshoe shaped ring of hair around the sides this type of hair loss is called male pattern baldness it is caused by genes from both parents the idea that men take after their mother is father is a myth and it is fueled by the male hormone testosterone in female pattern baldness the hair loss is different it thins throughout the top of the scalp leaving the hair in front intact a number of disorders can cause the hair to fall out people who have an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata lose hair on their scalp as well as on other parts of their body other health conditions that can cause excess hair loss include medications such as antidepressants retinoids nsaids blood thinners birth control pills and other hormonal treatments high blood pressure medications chemotherapy and radiation severe infections major surgery overactive or underactive thyroid other hormonal problems severe stress autoimmune diseases such as lupus fungal infections of the scalp pregnancy and childbirth certain hair care practices such as wearing tight ponytails or weaves or regularly bleaching or perming the hair can also lead to hair loss some people compulsively pull out their hair this psychological disorder is called trichotillomania when hair loss is related to a medication stopping the drug usually prevents further hair loss and the hair will eventually grow back hair also tends to grow back after most illnesses radiation therapy or chemotherapy wearing a wig or hat can hide the hair loss until the hair returns hair transplants are a more permanent hair replacement solution hair lost to male pattern and female pattern baldness

with heart disease retain fluid,heart failure is the result of poor cardiac function and is reflected by a decreased volume of blood pumped out by the heart called cardiac output heart failure can be caused by weakness of the heart muscle which pumps blood out through the arteries to the entire body or by dysfunction of the heart valves which regulate the flow of blood between the chambers of the heart the diminished volume of blood pumped out by the heart decreased cardiac output is responsible for a decreased flow of blood to the kidneys as a result the kidneys sense that there is a reduction of the blood volume in the body to counter the seeming loss of fluid the kidneys retain salt and water in this instance the kidneys are fooled into thinking that the body needs to retain more fluid volume when in fact the body already is holding too much fluid this fluid increase ultimately results in the buildup of fluid within the lungs which causes shortness of breath because of the decreased volume of blood pumped out by the heart decreased cardiac output the volume of blood in the arteries is also decreased despite the actual increase in the body is total fluid volume an associated increase in the amount of fluid in the blood vessels of the lungs causes shortness of breath because the excess fluid from the lungs blood vessels leaks into the airspaces alveoli and interstitium in the lungs this accumulation of fluid in the lung is called pulmonary edema at the same time accumulation of fluid in the legs causes pitting edema this edema occurs because the build up of blood in the veins of the legs causes leakage of fluid from the legs capillaries tiny blood vessels into the interstitial spaces an understanding of how the heart and lungs interact will help you to better comprehend how fluid retention works in heart failure the heart has four chambers an auricle and a ventricle on the left side of the heart and an auricle and ventricle on the right the left auricle receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and transfers it to the left ventricle which then pumps it through the arteries to the entire body the blood then is transported back to the heart by veins into the right auricle and transferred to the right ventricle which then pumps it to the lungs for re oxygenation left sided heart failure which is due primarily to a weak left ventricle usually is caused by coronary artery disease hypertension or disease of the heart valves typically when these patients initially come to the doctor they are troubled by shortness of breath with exertion and when lying down at night orthopnea these symptoms are due to pulmonary edema that is caused by pooling of the blood in the vessels of the lungs in contrast right sided heart failure which often is due to chronic lung diseases such as emphysema initially causes salt retention and edema persistent salt +what is the level of research being done to find a cure for cold sores and genital

could be another option i think a lot of people do not realize too by talking to their doctor and letting them know upfront that they are struggling with paying their medications maybe that means when they start a new medication they do not write for hundred pills right away they have you write out for 30 pills and maybe you try it first to see how you are doing so many times i have patients who come into the pharmacy and they say well this did not work and i spent 200 and i am like yeah he should have just written four months to try not three months right off the bat everyone thinks well if

uterine lining or even uterine cancer much less likely in a younger woman hormonal causes are usually linked to missed or erratic ovulations as you may know in a normal cycle estrogen is produced all month estrogen is responsible for building up the lining of your uterus so you have something to shed each month in a normal cycle progesterone production increases following ovulation progesterone stabilizes the uterine lining in preparation for a possible implantation of a new pregnancy if you are not pregnant that month the levels of estrogen and progesterone fall triggering the release of the uterine lining—your period so if you do not ovulate the estrogen build up of the lining continues but without the usual ovulation associated progesterone thus the hormone levels do not decline and the lining stays up inside the uterus—your missedlate period alternatively the lining can begin to shed under its own weight producing prolonged bleeding causes for not ovulating are multifold thyroid
