Question: what happens to someone when they get bacterial vaginosis?
Answer: bacterial vaginosis often clears up on its own. but in some women it doesn't go away on its own and for many women it comes back after it has cleared up. antibiotic treatment works for some women but not others. about 1 out of 4 women find that bacterial vaginosis clears up without medicine after a week. 1 bacterial vaginosis recurs in about 1 out of 3 treated women. 2 complications your risk of complications from bacterial vaginosis is higher: during pregnancy. compared to pregnant women who don't have it women who have bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy have a higher risk of early (preterm) delivery or uterine infection after pregnancy. also pregnant women may have an increased risk of miscarriage. after gynecological surgery. women with bacterial vaginosis at the time of an invasive vaginal procedure have an increased risk of developing more serious infection or inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) or endometritis. surgical procedures linked to bacterial vaginosis-related infection include endometrial biopsy surgical abortion hysterectomy intrauterine device (iud) placement cesarean section dilation and curettage (d&amp;c) and an x-ray test that examines the inside of the uterus the fallopian tubes and surrounding area ( hysterosalpingography ). 4 when exposed to hiv or other sexually transmitted diseases. women who have bacterial vaginosis when they are exposed to sexually transmitted diseases (including hiv ) have an increased risk of becoming infected with the sexually transmitted disease. 1 webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the advice of a doctor. healthwise disclaims any liability for the decisions you make based on this information. © 1995-2011 healthwise incorporated. healthwise healthwise for every health decision and the healthwise logo are trademarks of healthwise incorporated.

Question: what exams and tests help doctors to evaluate or test people for bacterial vaginosis?
Answer: your doctor may only test you for bacterial vaginosis if you: have symptoms. are going to have a hysterectomy or surgical abortion ( bacterial vaginosis increases infection risk afterwards). are pregnant and have had a preterm delivery in the past (a past preterm delivery may have been caused by infection). your doctor can diagnose bacterial vaginosis based on your history of symptoms a vaginal examination and a sample of the vaginal discharge. laboratory tests to detect signs of bacterial vaginosis may include: wet mount. a sample of vaginal discharge is mixed with a salt (normal saline) solution after placing it on a microscope slide. the prepared slide is examined to identify the bacteria present to look for white blood cells that indicate an infection and to look for unusual cells called clue cells. the presence of clue cells is the most reliable indicator of bacterial vaginosis. whiff test. several drops of a potassium hydroxide (koh) solution are added to a sample of vaginal discharge to determine whether a strong fishy odor is produced. a fishy odor on the whiff test suggests bacterial vaginosis. vaginal ph. the normal vaginal ph is 3. 8 to 4. 5. bacterial vaginosis usually causes the vaginal ph to rise above 4. 5. gram stain. a sample of the vaginal discharge is placed on a microscope slide. a special dye is applied to the slide causing certain types of bacteria (gram-positive bacteria) to turn a shade of purple while coloring others (gram-negative bacteria) pink. in bacterial vaginosis gram-negative bacteria especially gardnerella vaginalis are most common. oligonucleotide probes. this test detects the genetic material ( dna ) of bacterial vaginosis bacteria. oligonucleotide probe testing is very accurate but is not routinely available in most labs. the presence of clue cells an increased vaginal ph and a positive whiff test are enough evidence to treat for bacterial vaginosis. bacterial vaginosis may be detected during routine pap testing. but pap testing is not a standard test to diagnose bacterial vaginosis. webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the advice of a doctor. healthwise disclaims any liability for the decisions you make based on this information. © 1995-2011 healthwise incorporated. healthwise healthwise for every health decision and the healthwise logo are trademarks of healthwise incorporated.

Question: how does exercise affect blood sugar levels?
Answer: normally insulin is released from the pancreas when the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood increases such as after eating. insulin stimulates the liver and muscles to take in excess glucose. this results in a lowering of the blood sugar level. when exercising the body needs extra energy or fuel (in the form of glucose) for the exercising muscles. for short bursts of exercise such as a quick sprint to catch the bus the muscles and the liver can release stores of glucose for fuel. with continued moderate exercising however your muscles take up glucose at almost 20 times the normal rate. this helps lowers blood sugar levels. at the same time insulin levels may drop in anyone not taking insulin so the risks of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is minimized. but intense exercise can have the opposite effect and actually temporarily increase your blood glucose levels right after you stop exercising. this is especially true for many people with diabetes. the body recognizes intense exercise as a stress and releases stress hormones that tell your body to increase available blood sugar to fuel your muscles. if you have diabetes you may need to check your sugar after exercise to see if this happens to you.

Question: how soon can i exercise after having my baby?
Answer: it is best to ask your health care provider how soon you can begin your exercise routine after delivering your baby. although you may be eager to get in shape quickly return to your pre-pregnancy fitness routines gradually. follow your health care provider's exercise recommendations. most women can safely perform a low-impact activity one to two weeks after a vaginal birth (or three to four weeks after a cesarean birth). do about half of your normal floor exercises and don't try to overdo it.

Question: what benefits can exercise offer during pregnancy?
Answer: maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best. regular exercise during pregnancy can improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts such as backaches and fatigue. there is evidence that physical activity may prevent gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy) relieve stress and build more stamina needed for labor and delivery. if you were physically active before your pregnancy you should be able to continue your activity in moderation. don't try to exercise at your former level; instead do what's most comfortable for you now. low impact aerobics are encouraged versus high impact. do not let your heart rate exceed 140 beats per minute. the pregnant competitive athlete should be closely followed by an obstetrician. if you have never exercised regularly before you can safely begin an exercise program during pregnancy after consulting with your health care provider but do not try a new strenuous activity. walking is considered safe to initiate when pregnant. the american college of obstetrics and gynecology recommends 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise per day on most if not all days of the week unless you have a medical or pregnancy complication.

Question: how much do i have to walk to get good exercise?
Answer: there are two exercise recommendations in the united states. 1. the surgeon general recommends 30 minutes or more of accumulated moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days per week to improve health and fitness. "accumulated" means you can do it in shorter bouts throughout the day (for example 10- or 15-minute intervals throughout the day) and "moderate intensity" means you feel warm and slightly out of breath when you do it. walking counts! here are some suggestions to incorporate walking into your day and accumulate 30 minutes. think about your day and how you can increase walking. get off the bus before your destination (you may even save time this way). park your car farther from the store. take a walk at lunch instead of having your food delivered. walk for errands instead of driving short distances. get rid of your riding lawnmower! keep your walking shoes handy. leave a pair at your office for quick 10-minute stress-reducing walks. 2. the american college of sports medicine recommends 20-60 minutes of continuous activity three to five times a week at 60%-90% of maximum heart rate and two to three days of resistance training. walking counts!

Question: what is aerobic exercise?
Answer: imagine that you're exercising. you're working up a sweat you're 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's 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's 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's labeled vo 2 or volume of oxygen consumed. it's the amount of oxygen the muscles extract or consume from the blood and it's expressed as ml/kg/minute (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's 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.

Question: my doctor prescribed a statin for high cholesterol but i'm afraid of side effects. can exercise help lower my levels?
Answer: the research is mixed on the effect of exercise on cholesterol. some studies show that exercise helps lower it while others do not. when exercise does lower cholesterol the effect may be what researchers consider statistically significant but clinically it may drop only a few percentage points and not enough to lower cholesterol into a healthy range. you might consider making a deal with your doctor where you agree to try three months of regular exercise and attention to your diet to lower your cholesterol and if the change at three months isn't enough to put the value in a healthy range then you can discuss how to proceed with your physician. you should know that the side effects of statins are easy to monitor not everyone gets side effects and they are effective medications. as for the type of exercise to lower cholesterol most of the research involves aerobic exercise so walking jogging biking swimming dancing and all cardio machines at the gym count. how much aerobic exercise you need to do or how hard it should be is unknown but aim for five or more days per week for at least 30 minutes at an intensity of approximately 65% to 75% of your maximum heart rate. consistency is important if you try the three-month experiment so plan carefully. set a weekly exercise plan at the beginning of each week and make the plan as realistic and specific as possible. write down the days of the week the time of day the type of exercise and the duration. again be as specific and realistic as possible to increase the probability of doing it. if and when you miss a day get right back on track and always set your weekly plan at the beginning of every week. the good news is that even if your cholesterol doesn't come down with three months of regular exercise you'll certainly get more fit and research shows that other lipid risk factors for heart disease improve with regular exercise. for instance triglycerides almost always drop with regular aerobic exercise sometimes as much as 60 mg/dl and hdl cholesterol the "good" cholesterol rises in some people when they exercise regularly (hdl cholesterol carries "bad" cholesterol away from arteries and to the liver where it's removed from the body). good luck with the three-month experiment if you decide to try it. but even if you don't get the results you want and end up needing a statin there are so many other benefits of regular exercise that it's certainly worth the effort.

Question: can you get pregnant after gastric bypass surgery?
Answer: assuming you were fertile before the surgery yes. in standard gastric bypass surgery the surgeon makes an incision in the belly and cuts out most of the stomach. a portion of the small intestine is also cut and reattached to the new small stomach. all this cutting takes place well away from the reproductive organs (ovaries fallopian tubes uterus and vagina). direct damage to these organs is extremely unlikely and infertility is not considered to be a risk of weight loss surgery. on the contrary experts suspect that fertility sometimes goes up after gastric bypass surgery. there’s no proof that gastric bypass surgery directly increases fertility but it’s known that weight loss in general improves fertility. women are usually counseled to avoid pregnancy for a year or more after gastric bypass surgery to achieve maximum weight loss. the delay also allows time to correct any nutritional deficiencies that occur after the surgery. women who get pregnant after gastric bypass surgery usually have healthy pregnancies and deliver healthy babies. their rates of pregnancy complications may be lower than severely obese women who have not had weight loss surgery.

Question: what causes blisters on the inside of the eyelid and how can i prevent it and cure it? . i have diabetes anemia and cirrhosis of the liver. and in ausust i had to have a blood transfusion because of the severity of the anemia. i have in the past couple of months been getting blisters on the inside on my eyelids. they sometimes become so infected that it is painful and crusts over and swells almost to the point of closing. what causes them and how can i prevent this? what can i do to make the go away?
Answer: hi i found this info at <link> read through it may just interest you. herpes zoster also called shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. this is the virus that causes chickenpox. sometimes many years after you have had chickenpox the varicella-zoster virus becomes active again and causes shingles. shingles is an infection that produces fluid-filled blisters on the skin often near certain nerves. it may spread to the eyes. if the varicella-zoster virus spreads to nerves in your head your face eyes and nose may be affected. the virus can cause several problems including: blisters on or inside your eyelids damage to your cornea (the clear dome on the front of the eye) uveitis (inflammation to eye tissues behind the cornea) glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye) cataracts. several medicines are helpful in treating herpes zoster eye infections. acyclovir is an antiviral medicine that greatly limits the effects of the virus and helps reduce complications. this medicine is most effective when started as soon as the first symptoms appear. steroids can sometimes be used to reduce eye inflammation. antibiotics prevent infection from other organisms that may get in your eyes while you have herpes zoster. painkillers (such as acetaminophen) and lubricating eye drops may lessen your pain. medicines for glaucoma help keep the pressure in your eye at normal levels. blisters dry up and form scabs about 5 days after they appear. you may develop permanent scars and longstanding pain numbness or skin discoloration. if your cornea is affected it can become permanently scarred. early treatment with acyclovir lessens the effects of the varicella-zoster virus and can sometimes prevent serious complications. shingles can be recurring problem. his sounds very similar ti what you say? so do hope this helps you. good luck

Question: how can i handle headaches during pregnancy?
Answer: headaches can be caused by tension congestion constipation or in some cases preeclampsia. they can occur anytime during pregnancy. recommendations: apply an ice pack to your forehead or the back of your neck. rest sit or lie quietly in a low-lit room. close your eyes and try to release the tension in your back neck and shoulders. try tylenol (acetaminophen) occasionally. stay away from ibuprofen and other aspirin-like anti-inflammatories (nsaids) since these reduce amniotic fluid and can also thin your blood which could make it harder to stop bleeding during delivery. ask your health-care provider before taking any other medications for your headaches. contact your health-care provider if you have nausea with your headaches if your headache is severe and does not go away or if you have blurry vision double vision or blind spots.

Question: how do we maximize our chances of becoming pregnant?
Answer: for most couples becoming pregnant occurs naturally. some couples have difficulty conceiving and ways to maximize chances of conception become important. other parents may want to time the delivery of their babies during particular times of the year or space the birth of their babies according to a desired schedule. the first step in maximizing the chances of conception is by estimating the time of ovulation. ovulation is that time of the menstrual cycle wherein the egg is released from the ovary and travels towards the fallopian tube. in women with regular menstrual cycles ovulation usually occurs 12-14 days prior to the onset of the next menstrual flow. simply counting back fourteen days from the expected date of the onset of next period should be the time of ovulation. the couple should have intercourse for several days before day of and day after the expected time of ovulation. there is usually some variation in the time of ovulation even in women with regular cycles so a few extra days of intercourse before and after expected ovulation is advised. if the cycles are irregular and unpredictable estimating the time of ovulation becomes difficult and professional assistance may be helpful. another option for a woman with irregular cycles is the use of ovulation predictor kits available over-the-counter at most drug and grocery stores. these kits can be used to determine the approximate time of ovulation by detecting urinary hormone elevations that precede ovulation. another approach is to have intercourse every other day throughout the menstrual cycle. this approach will take out the stress or anxiety involved in timing intercourse. basal body temperature timing is a technique of checking the body temperature every morning and charting the results. if the temperature rises by a certain amount and stays elevated it can be assumed that ovulation occurred. difficulties with this method are that it is tedious and only provides the woman with information about ovulation after it has occurred. ultrasound images of the ovaries can be performed to monitor the growth and collapse of the ovarian follicle during the cycle. the follicle is the fluid-filled structure that surrounds the egg and it can easily be seen on ultrasound. this method is probably the most accurate in timing ovulation. it is also the most expensive and is usually reserved for selected couples who are experiencing difficulty in becoming pregnant. it is important to remember that even though intercourse and ovulation coincide pregnancy may still not be achieved in any given menstrual cycle or even after several consecutive menstrual cycles. in many situations the failure to conceive after multiple attempts is not a reason for alarm. it is not uncommon for pregnancy to occur only after several months of consistent attempts. couples who have experienced an inability to conceive after several cycles may consider seeking professional advice to determine if an infertility evaluation is necessary.
