Question: What are the symptoms of ???????tertiary syphilis?
Answer: This is the final, most severe stage of syphilis. It can appear 10 to 30 years after the initial infection. You might experience permanent organ damage and death. Complications may include: Brain (neurological) problems Stroke Infection and inflammation of membranes around the brain and spinal cord Numbness Deafness Visual problems or blindness Personality changes Dementia Heart valve disease Aneurysm Inflammation of blood vessels You can pass this STD on to your unborn child or to your baby during childbirth.

This could happen for up to a year. Even if your symptoms don't return, the infection is still alive in your body. Syphilis will get worse, and you can still infect your sexual partner.
Question: What are the symptoms of latent syphilis?
Answer: If you're not treated for secondary syphilis, the disease may progress to the latent (hidden) phase. Not everyone who has syphilis will go through this stage. If you do, you won't have any symptoms, maybe for years. In some cases, symptoms will never return. But the infection isn't gone; the bacteria remain dormant in the body. Some latent cases may progress to the tertiary stage of the disease.
Question: What should I know about syphilis?
Answer: What symptoms you have depends on which stage of the disease you're in. But the stages can overlap, and symptoms don't always develop in the same order. You could even be infected with this sexually transmitted disease ( STD) and not have any signs of it for years. The stages of syphilis are called âprimary,â âsecondary,â âlatent,â and âtertiary (late).â This article deals with the symptoms typical of each stage. You might not even know you have it.
Question: What are the symptoms of primary syphilis?
Answer: You might notice that the lymph nodes near your groin are enlarged. Typically, the first visible sign of syphilis is a small, painless sore (doctors call it a âchancreâ) on the skin (you may develop several sores). It normally appears at the spot where the bacteria entered your body. The sore won't hurt, and it may be hidden inside your rectum or vagina. You might not even know you have it. The sore will heal on its own in about 3 to 6 weeks. It means you're about to enter the second stage of syphilis. It can appear 10 to 30 years after the initial infection.
Question: How can I tell if my cat is purring because of affection?
Answer: Kittens can purr when they're only a few days old. It's probably a way to let their mothers know where they are or that they're OK. Purring also helps a kitten bond with its mother. Mama cats use it like a lullaby.
Question: How can I tell if my cat is purring because of relief and healing?
Answer: Even though purring takes energy, many cats purr when they get hurt or are in pain. It might simply be a way for a cat to soothe itself, like a child sucks their thumb to feel better. The low frequency of purrs causes a series of related vibrations within their body that can: Heal bones and wounds Build muscle and repair tendons Ease breathing Lessen pain and swelling This might explain why cats are able to survive falls from high places and tend to have fewer complications after surgeries than dogs.
Question: What are typical symptoms of migraine headaches?
Answer: People who get migraines describe them as an intense pulsing or throbbing type of pain, often on one side of the head. Along with the pain they can also have symptoms like: Flashing lights or "aura" Nausea Sensitivity to light Vomiting When you have one, you may be unable to do your normal activities.
Question: How do estrogen levels trigger migraines?
Answer: These headaches are triggered by things like: Bright lights Foods or drinks Hunger Lack of sleep Stress Strong scents A drop in the female hormone, estrogen, can also set off migraines. That's why women who get migraines often have headaches right before their period, when estrogen levels are low. During pregnancy, estrogen levels rise, bringing many women a break from these headaches. But they often start up again after the baby is born.

Question: What are serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for depression?
Answer: Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors ( SNRIs) affect the action of both serotonin and another brain chemical, norepinephrine. This class includes desvenlafaxine ( Khedezla or Pristiq), duloxetine ( Cymbalta), levomilnacipran ( Fetzima), and or venlafaxine ( Effexor). Side effects are usually mild. They include upset stomach, sleep problems, sexual problems, headache, anxiety, and dizziness, and weakness.
Question: What drugs other than antidepressants may help treat depression?
Answer: For instance, some people recovering from depression will benefit from drugs for anxiety or insomnia. In addition, certain atypical antipsychotics -- (primarily used for schizophrenia or bibolar disorder) such as aripiprazole ( Abilify), brexipipzole ( Rexulti) or ( Seroquel XR) -- have been shown to enhance the effect of antidepressant medicines for depression when an antidepressant alone isn't fully effective. While not classified as a medication by the FDA, l-methylfolate ( Deplin) has proven successful in treating depression. Considered a medical food or nutriceutical, it is a prescription strength form of the vitamin B known asfolate and helps regulate the neurotransmitters that control moods.
Question: How can norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs) help with  depression?
Answer: Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors ( NDRIs) affect norepinephrine and a different chemical in the brain, dopamine. This class of drugs includes bupropion ( Wellbutrin). Side effects are usually mild, and include upset stomach, headache, sleep problems, tremor, and anxiety. Wellbutrin may be less likely to cause sexual side effects or weight gain than other antidepressants.
Question: How can noradnergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSAs) help with  depression?
Answer: Noradnergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants ( Na SSAs) also affect serotonin and norepinephrine in your brain. This class of drugs includes mirtazpine ( Remeron). Side effects are usually mild, and include upset stomach, sleepiness, weight gain, anxiety, and dizziness.
Question: How can you find the right depression medicine for you?
Answer: You may even find that a medicine that used to help just doesn't anymore. You may have to put up with some trial and error. While antidepressants usually begin to show significant effects within a few weeks, it can take several months before you feel the full effects of a new drug, so don't give up. Over time, your doctor may want to increase or decrease the dose, depending on how you're doing. If you've given a depression drug a chance and it still isn't helping, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may recommend that you try another antidepressant. With time, you should be able to find a medicine or a combination of medicines that helps. Don't ever stop taking a medicine without your doctor's approval, even if you're feeling better.
Question: How can selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) help with depression?
Answer: Newer Antidepressants. This class of antidepressants include citalopram ( Celexa), escitalopram ( Lexapro ), fluoxetine ( Prozac ), fluvoxamine ( Luvox), paroxetine ( Paxil), sertraline ( Zoloft). They include upset stomach, sleep problems, sexual problems, headache, anxiety, and dizziness, and weakness.
Question: What do you need to know about medications for depression?
Answer: But these drugs don't cure depression in the way that antibiotics cure infections. Instead, they can help ease the symptoms. You will probably need to continue medication even after you feel better. This helps reduce the risk of relapse. Depression can sometimes be like other chronic illnesses, like diabetes or heart disease, that need ongoing treatment. However, they are still the right choice for some people with depression -- especially if newer antidepressants don't help.
Question: Can you prevent genital herpes?
Answer: The only sure-fire way to avoid getting genital herpes is to abstain from sex or have sex only with someone who is also herpes-free. Short of that, a latex condom offers some protection if it covers the infected area. Remember, you can get genital herpes by receiving oral sex (fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus) from someone with a cold sore on the mouth. Likewise, you can get oral herpes from someone's genitals by way of oral sex. If you know that a sex partner has genital herpes, you can reduce your risk by having sex (vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse) only when he or she has no symptoms. Nevertheless, genital herpes can be contagious even when there are no visible symptoms, so you should always use a latex barrier, such as a condom or a dental dam.
Question: Is there a cure for genital herpes?
Answer: Genital herpes is a lifelong condition for which there is no cure.
Question: Is there a test for genital herpes?
Answer: The blood test looks for antibodies to the virus that your immune system would have made when you were infected. HSV-2 almost always infects the genitals, so if antibodies to HSV-2 are detected in the blood, you probably have genital herpes. A blood test that shows antibodies to HSV-1 means you could have genital or oral herpes. That's because oral herpes, typically caused by HSV-1, can be spread to the genitals during oral sex. Studies are under way to investigate medicated gel products that can be placed in the vagina to reduce the transmission of herpes and HIV.
Question: What is an erection?
Answer: An erection starts in your brain. Something you saw, felt, smelled, heard, or thought makes your nerves send chemical messages to the blood vessels in your penis. The arteries relax and open up to let more blood to flow in; at the same time, the veins close up. Once blood is in the penis, pressure traps it within the corpora cavernosa. Your penis expands and holds the erection.
Question: What is ejaculation?
Answer: When you're aroused, tubes called the vas deferens squeeze sperm from the testes toward the back of the urethra. The seminal vesicles also release fluid there. The urethra senses the sperm and fluid mixture. Then, at the height of sexual excitement, it sends signals to your spinal cord, which in turn sends signals to the muscles at the base of your penis. These contract powerfully and quickly, every 0.8 seconds. This forces the semen out of the penis as you climax.
Question: What is the anatomy of a penis?
Answer: The head or glans is at the end of the shaft. The opening at the tip of the head, where urine and semen come out, is called the meatus. They have a maze of blood vessels, tissue, and open pockets. The urethra, the tube that urine and semen flow through, runs along the underside of them, in the spongy tissue of the corpus spongiosum. Two main arteries (one in each of the corpora cavernosa) and several veins move blood in and out. Nerves relay messages to and from other parts of your body. Once blood is in the penis, pressure traps it within the corpora cavernosa.
Question: What types of liver cancers are there?
Answer: Because the liver is made up of several different types of cells, several types of tumors can form there. Some of these are benign (noncancerous), and some are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body (metastasize). These tumors have different causes and are treated differently. The outlook for health or recovery depends on what type of tumor you have.
Question: What are some other risk factors for liver cancer?
Answer: Other risk factors for liver cancer may include: Your sex. Men are more likely to get hepatocellular carcinoma than women. Your weight. Obesity can increase the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. Your race. In the U. S., liver cancer is most common in Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Anabolic steroid use. Male hormonesabused by athletes to increase muscle can slightly increase liver cancer risk with long-term use. History of diabetes. Studies have suggested a link between diabetes and liver cancer. This is likely due to the link between diabetes and fatty liver disease. Inherited metabolic diseases. Diseases that disrupt the normal metabolism of the body have been shown to increase your risk of liver cancer. Rare diseases. Studies have found a link between liver cancer and some rare diseases like alpha -1-antitrypsin deficiency, tyrosinemia, and Wilson's disease.
