system: What is cryotherapy and how can it treat genital warts?
output: Your doctor can also freeze the warts off using liquid nitrogen and a cotton-tipped applicator or a special device called a cryoprobe. The cold is applied for 10-20 seconds. If you have a lot of warts, or if they're large, your doctor may numb the area first with a local anesthetic.
system: Can you get surgery to treat genital warts?
output: This can get rid of all your warts in a single visit. After giving you a local anesthetic, your doctor can remove your warts using different methods. These include: Cutting them off with scissors Shaving them off with a sharp blade (this is called shave excision) Using a laser to remove them (curettage laser) Burning them off using electrocautery, a process that uses a low-voltage electrical probe In most cases, you won't need stitches after surgery.
system: What are the creams, gels, and ointments that can be used to treat genital warts?
output: Options for gels, creams, and ointments are imiquimod cream, podofilox gel, and sinecatechins ointment. Imiquimod is a cream you apply yourself to external warts to boost your immune system. You apply imiquimod 5% cream at bedtime, 3 times a week for 16 weeks. You apply imiquimod 3.75% cream every night. With either strength, you should wash the treated area with soap and water 6 to 10 hours after you put it on. You should also avoid sex while imiquimod is on your skin because it can weaken condoms and diaphragms. Podofilox and podophyllin resin are gels designed to kill the warts. After they are applied to the external wart, the area needs to air dry before coming in contact with clothing. Podofilox isn't recommended for warts on the cervix, vagina, or anal canal. It's also not meant for larger areas. If you use too much or don't let it air dry, you could spread the gel to other areas and cause irritation to skin areas. Sinecatechins ointment is made from green tea extract. Sinecatechins 15% ointment is applied to warts 3 times a day for up to 16 weeks. You should avoid all sexual contact while the ointment is on your skin.
system: What happens if I don't get treated for genital warts?
output: Genital warts may go away on their own or stay the same. If you're not treated, you could also get more or larger genital warts.
system: What are side effects for treatments of genital warts?
output: They're rare. They can include discoloring of the skin or scarring, especially if you haven't had enough time to heal between treatments. Rarer still is severe, chronic pain. If you have anal warts, having a bowel movement might become painful. You could also get a condition called a fistula that requires surgery.
system: How can acid solutions treat genital warts?
output: You should also avoid sex while imiquimod is on your skin because it can weaken condoms and diaphragms. If you use too much or don't let it air dry, you could spread the gel to other areas and cause irritation to skin areas. If you have vaginal or cervical warts, the recommended treatments are: Cryotherapy or liquid nitrogen Surgical removal Acid solution If you have warts in your urethra (the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to your bladder), your best treatment options are cryotherapy or surgical removal.
system: How can irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cause depression and anxiety?
output: Depression and anxiety: It's common for people who have IBS to feel like they're losing control over their lives. If your symptoms are bad, you may find yourself always trying to map out the nearest bathroom. Because there's a link between your brain and gut, this kind of stress can make your IBS worse.

They can help you address your stress and help you figure out what's causing it.
system: How are results from a sedimentation rate test measured?
output: Your sample will go to a lab. You should have the results in 1 or 2 hours. A lab technician will place your red blood cells into a tall, thin tube and check how far they fall in 1 hour. When you have inflammation in your body, abnormal proteins in your blood make red blood cells form into clumps. These clumps are heavy, so they fall to the bottom of the tube more quickly than single blood cells. The faster the blood cells sink, the more inflammation you have in your body.
system: When might I get a sedimentation rate test?
output: Your doctor might order the sed rate test if you have symptoms like these: Headaches Stiff, swollen, or painful joints Pain in your shoulders, neck, or pelvis Appetite loss Weight loss without trying The sed rate test can be part of the process of discovering if you have one of these conditions: Infection (including of the bones) Cancer Arteritis (inflammation of the blood vessels) Lupus (an autoimmune disease that damages the skin, joints, and other parts of your body) Polymyalgia rheumatica (causes stiff and painful muscles) Rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks your joints) Systematic vasculitis (inflammation in your blood vessels) You might also get this test once you've started treatment for one of these conditions.
system: What conditions are identified with sedimentation rate test?
output: Your doctor might order the sed rate test if you have symptoms like these: Headaches Stiff, swollen, or painful joints Pain in your shoulders, neck, or pelvis Appetite loss Weight loss without trying The sed rate test can be part of the process of discovering if you have one of these conditions: Infection (including of the bones) Cancer Arteritis (inflammation of the blood vessels) Lupus (an autoimmune disease that damages the skin, joints, and other parts of your body) Polymyalgia rheumatica (causes stiff and painful muscles) Rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks your joints) Systematic vasculitis (inflammation in your blood vessels) You might also get this test once you've started treatment for one of these conditions.

system: What other tests might I need in addition to a sedimentation rate test?
output: These include: Anemia Older age Kidney problems Thyroid disease Pregnancy or having your period Obesity Drugs like birth control pills, methyldopa ( Aldomet), theophylline ( Theo-24, Theolair, Elixophylline), vitamin A, cortisone, and quinine The sed rate test can only tell your doctor that you have inflammation somewhere in your body. It can't show where the inflammation is or what caused it. Your doctor will use the sed rate test together with other tests of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein, to make a diagnosis. Talk to your doctor about the results of your sed rate test, and any other tests you have. Make sure you understand what the results mean, and how they'll affect your treatment.
system: What is the sedimentation rate?
output: It's one clue for your doctor that you might have a disease linked to inflammation, like arthritis or cancer, or an infection. The sed rate test measures how fast red blood cells fall to the bottom of a tube. Inflammation creates proteins that make red blood cells fall more quickly. Another name for this test is erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR). Red blood cells are called erythrocytes. Sedimentation is the process by which they fall to the bottom of the tube.
system: What does a high sedimentation rate mean?
output: The sedimentation rate -- or âsed rate,â for short -- is a blood test that checks for inflammation in your body.
system: What can affect sedimentation rate test results?
output: Some conditions and medicines can affect the speed at which red blood cells fall, and they may affect your test results. These include: Anemia Older age Kidney problems Thyroid disease Pregnancy or having your period Obesity Drugs like birth control pills, methyldopa ( Aldomet), theophylline ( Theo-24, Theolair, Elixophylline), vitamin A, cortisone, and quinine The sed rate test can only tell your doctor that you have inflammation somewhere in your body.
system: How is a blood sample taken during a sedimentation rate test?
output: It's just a basic blood test. Let your doctor know what medicines (and supplements) you take before you have the test. Certain drugs can affect the results. Also let your doctor know if you are pregnant or are having your period. A nurse or other health care provider will take a sample of your blood, usually from a vein in your arm. He will first tie a band around the upper part of your arm to make your vein fill with blood and swell up. Then he'll clean the area with an antiseptic, and place a needle into your vein. Your blood will collect into a vial or tube. The process should only take a couple of minutes. Afterward, you'll get a piece of gauze and a bandage over the area to stop the bleeding. You may feel a slight sting as your blood is drawn. Afterward, you may have a small bruise. You might feel feel dizzy and sore, and there might be some bleeding.

output: Request a non-stop flight and an aisle seat. Check as many bags as possible, but remember to keep your medications in your carry-on. Use airport shuttles, or ask for a wheelchair if your gate is a far distance. Ask for early seating for a few extra minutes to board and get comfortable. Use the bathroom before you get on the plane. Airplane bathrooms are often small and not handicapped-accessible. If you are on a restricted diet, request a special meal in advance.
system: How can cervical position help you know where you are in your fertility cycle?
output: Another way to learn about where you are in your fertility cycle is to check the position of your cervix. If you put two fingers into your vagina, you should feel the cervix at the end. Before you ovulate, it should feel hard and dry, like the tip of your nose. During ovulation, you should notice that it seems to have shifted higher and that it feels softer and wetter. But you should always make sure that your hands are clean before you start poking around. And since it may be hard to tell exactly what you're looking for, you may want to talk to your doctor first.
system: What is the pattern of cervical mucus changes for a woman with a 28-day cycle?
output: For a woman with a 28-day cycle, the pattern of changes in her cervical mucus could look something like this: Days 1-5: Menstruation happens. Days 6-9: Vagina is dry with little to no mucus. Days 10-12: Sticky, thick mucus appears, gradually becoming less thick and more white. Days 13-15: Mucus becomes thin, slippery, stretchy, and clear -- like egg whites. This is the most fertile stage. Days 16-21: Mucus becomes sticky and thick again. Days 22-28: Vagina becomes dry. But your cycle could be very different from this pattern, which is why it's useful to mark changes on your own fertility chart. Ideally, you should check your cervical mucus every day, possibly every time you go to the bathroom. If you rub some toilet paper or your fingers -- after washing your hands -- over the opening of your vagina, you should be able to find cervical mucus. Examine the color and consistency between your fingers, and write down what you find.

You're not contagious during this stage, but syphilis may still affect your heart, brain, nerves, bones, and other parts of your body. This phase can last for years.
system: Why does polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cause weight gain?
output: PCOS makes it more difficult for the body to use the hormone insulin, which normally helps convert sugars and starches from foods into energy. This condition -- called insulin resistance -- can cause insulin and sugar -- glucose -- to build up in the bloodstream. High insulin levels increase the production of male hormones called androgens. High androgen levels lead to symptoms such as body hair growth, acne, irregular periods -- and weight gain.
system: What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
output: PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder in women of childbearing age and can lead to issues with fertility. Women who have PCOS have higher levels of male hormones and are also less sensitive to insulin or are "insulin-resistant."
system: What is Metformin (Glucophage) for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
output: Metformin is a diabetes drug that helps the body use insulin more efficiently. It also reduces testosterone production. Some research has found that it can help obese women with PCOS lose weight.
