Question: Who is most likely to get cauliflower ear?
Answer: In wrestling, for instance, trauma can result from opponents' heads rubbing or hitting one another during matches or from contact with the wrestling mat. Cauliflower ear is also common among rugby players and people who practice martial arts. People who participate in these activities are at higher risk than others. Protective head gear has long been commonplace in these sports. They also can be a complication of "high" piercings in the upper area of the ear, through the cartilage, if the piercing becomes infected. The most important thing you can do to prevent cauliflower ear is to wear the appropriate head gear when engaging in activities that increase your risk for ear trauma, such as wrestling, boxing, rugby, and other close-contact sports.

Question: What is an posterior wall prolapse?
Answer: â Posteriorâ means back. These prolapses happen when the tissue between your vagina and rectum (the end of your large bowel) stretches or separates from the bones in your pelvis. There are two kinds of posterior wall prolapse: Rectocele. Doctors also call this a ârectal wall prolapse.â It happens when your rectum drops down and forward and then bulges into the back wall of your vagina. Rectal prolapse. This is different than a rectocele or rectal wall prolapse. With a rectal prolapse, part of your rectum turns inside out and pokes out through your anus. At first, you might think it's a big hemorrhoid.
Question: What is an apical prolapse?
Answer: â Apicalâ means near the apex, or top. There are three kinds of apical prolapse: Enterocele. If you have this, it means your small intestine has dropped down and is bulging into the upper part of the back wall of your vagina. This can also happen at the top of your vagina, where the intestine sits on top and sinks down into it. Uterine. This is when your uterus (womb) drops into your vagina. Uterine prolapses are the second most common kind of prolapse. Your risk goes up as you get older. Vaginal vault. If you've had your uterus taken out (hysterectomy), your vagina may drop down toward its opening between your legs. That's because the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina. If it's removed during surgery, there's nothing for the vagina to hold on to. In severe cases, your vagina could turn inside out and fall through the vaginal opening.

When your bladder prolapses, the tube that carries pee out of your body (the urethra) can prolapse, too.

Answer: If your doctor suggests immunotherapy to fight your cancer, there's a lot to talk to them about before you decide if it's right for you.
Question: How does immunotherapy treat cancer?
Answer: Your immune system is made up of your white blood cells plus the organs and tissues of your lymph system, like your bone marrow. Its main job is to help your body fight off disease and stay healthy. Immunotherapy drugs help your immune system work harder or make it easier for it to find and get rid of cancer cells. It can help other cancer treatments work better. When you have immunotherapy, your immune system learns to go after cancer cells if they ever come back.

Question: Who is more likely to get breast cancer?
Answer: Women over 50 are more likely to get breast cancer than younger women.
Question: What increases your likelihood of getting breast cancer?
Answer: If a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) had breast cancer, you're two times more likely to get the disease. This is especially true if she got cancer before menopause or if it affected both breasts. Mutations, or changes, to two genes -- BRCA1 and BRCA2 -- are responsible for some cases of breast cancer in families. About 1woman in 200 has one of these genes. While they make you more likely to get cancer, they don't ensure that you will. These genes also raise your odds of ovarian cancer and are linked to pancreatic cancer and male breast cancer.
Question: Is breast cancer treatable?
Answer: Fortunately, breast cancer is very treatable if detected early. Localized cancer (meaning it hasn't spread outside your breast) can usually be treated successfully before the cancer spreads. Once the cancer begins to spread, treatment becomes more extensive. Improved screening tests and treatment options mean about 8 out of 10 women with breast cancer will survive at least 10 years after initial diagnosis. Intracavitary brachytherapy: This is the most common type of brachytherapy for women with breast cancer.
Question: Where does breast cancer develop?
Answer: Breast cancer usually begins in a small, confined area in the or glands, which produce milk (lobular carcinoma) or the ducts (ductal carcinoma), which carry it to the nipple. Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. If the tests find breast cancer, you and your doctor will develop a treatment plan to get rid of the cancer, to lower the odds that it will come back, as well as to reduce the chance of it moving to outside of your breast.
Question: How does breast cancer develop?
Answer: Breast cancer usually begins in a small, confined area in the or glands, which produce milk (lobular carcinoma) or the ducts (ductal carcinoma), which carry it to the nipple. It can grow larger in the breast and spread through channels to nearby lymph nodes or through your bloodstream to other organs. The cancer may grow and invade tissue around the breast, such as the skin or chest wall. Different types of breast cancer grow and spread at different rates -- some take years to spread beyond the breast, while others grow and spread quickly. Some you can control; others you can't. Biopsy. Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. If the tests find breast cancer, you and your doctor will develop a treatment plan to get rid of the cancer, to lower the odds that it will come back, as well as to reduce the chance of it moving to outside of your breast.
Question: Does DNA fingerprinting have medical uses?
Answer: Identify diseases that are passed down through your family. Help find cures for those diseases, called hereditary conditions.
Question: What is DNA fingerprinting?
Answer: It can: Physically connect a piece of evidence to a person or rule out someone as a suspect. DNA fingerprinting is extremely accurate.
Question: What is DNA?
Answer: It's used as evidence in courts, to identify bodies, track down blood relatives, and to look for cures for disease. They pair up with another to form what are called base pairs. Your DNA has about 3 billion of these couples. The way they're strung together tells your cells how to make copies of each other. The complete set of your compounds is known as a genome. More than 99.9 % of everyone's genome is exactly alike (100% if you are identical twins). But the tiny bit that's not is what makes you physically and mentally different from someone else. Lab workers treat the sample with chemicals to separate the DNA, which is then dissolved in water.

Question: How does marijuana work to treat migraines?
Answer: Marijuana is another name for cannabis, a bushy plant that's used to make paper, rope, and other products. Inside your brain and other parts of your body, you have a network of cannabinoid receptors. These are tiny loops of protein that affect how you feel pain. Marijuana has natural compounds called cannabinoids. When you use it, these cannabinoids go into your body and look for the receptors. They change how the receptors work, and they can calm down pain signals. Cannabinoids may also help with nausea, anxiety, muscle spasms, or other health problems. THC is the cannabinoid in marijuana that gets most of the attention. It's what makes you feel high or relaxed. But another product made from cannabis called cannabidiol ( CBD) doesn't make you feel intoxicated and may help ease pain. Several states have made it legal for CBD to be used for medical reasons.
Question: Do I need surgery for lichen sclerosus?
Answer: Surgery to remove patches on the genital area of women doesn't happen much, since the patches return. If a woman has severe vaginal scarring that causes problems with sex, surgery can help. But it's only an option once the condition is under control. Surgery to treat lichen sclerosus in men can be a good option. Doctors often do a circumcision, which is removing the foreskin of the penis. After that, the condition probably won't come back.
