output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } There is evidence that grape seed extract is beneficial for a number of cardiovascular conditions. Grape seed extract may help with a type of poor circulation (chronic venous insufficiency) and high cholesterol. Grape seed extract also reduces swelling caused by injury and helps with eye disease related to diabetes. Many people are interested in grape seed extract because it contains antioxidants. These are substances that protect cells from damage and may help prevent many diseases. However, it's still too early to say whether the antioxidant properties of grape seed extract really benefit people. Researchers are studying grape seed extract to see if it might lower the risks of some cancers. For now, the evidence is not clear. Grape seed extract has been studied for use in many other conditions -- ranging from PMS to skin damage to wound healing -- but the results have been inconclusive.
system: What are the risks of taking grape seed extract?
output: No one knows what the highest safe dose is. Grape seed extract comes from grapes. Side effects. If you have a bleeding disorder or high blood pressure, talk to your doctor before you start using grape seed extract. If you take any medicines regularly, talk to your doctor before you start using grape seed extract. It could interact with drugs like blood thinners, NSAID painkillers (like aspirin, Advil, and Aleve), certain heart medicines, cancer treatments, and others. Given the lack of evidence about its safety, grape seed extract is not recommended for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
system: What should you know about grape seed extract?
output: Although fairly new to the U. S., grape seed extract is now used to treat a number of diseases. Doses of between 100-300 milligrams/day have been used in studies and are prescribed in some European countries. Grape seed extract comes from grapes.
system: How much grape seed extract should you take?
output: Grapes -- along with their leaves and sap -- have been traditional treatments in Europe for thousands of years. No one knows what the highest safe dose is.
system: Can you get grape seed extract naturally from foods?
output: Grape seed extract is derived from the ground-up seeds of red wine grapes. There are no other food sources.
system: What is the most common side effect of a colonoscopy?
output: This is the most common side effect of colonoscopy.
system: What is a colonoscopy like?
output: Your doctor will use a long, flexible tube called a colonoscope to look inside your colon. It has a light and camera to help her see what's going on in there. She may also insert air inside your colon to get a better view. She might use water or a suction device as well as certain surgical tools if she needs to remove a polyp. All these things can move and stretch your colon, so you might feel uncomfortable for a day or two after the exam. You may also feel nauseous and might even throw up. These symptoms usually aren't dangerous, but if you have vomited or are in pain, call your doctor right away.
system: Is it normal to bleed after a colonoscopy?
output: You could notice blood from your rectum or in your stool after a colonoscopy. Most of the time, this happens because your doctor had to take a tissue sample or remove a polyp from your colon. Call your doctor right away if it continues or if there's a lot of blood. Certain medications, such as vitamins and over-the-counter painkillers like aspirin, can increase your risk of bleeding. If you take them, be sure to tell your doctor before you go in for your procedure.

output: All these things can move and stretch your colon, so you might feel uncomfortable for a day or two after the exam. If you take them, be sure to tell your doctor before you go in for your procedure.
system: Is a colonoscopy safe?
output: On average, two serious complications occur for every 1,000 procedures performed. If it does, your doctor may need to repair it with surgery.
system: Can you have a bad reaction to anesthesia in a colonoscopy?
output: It saves lives, so if your doctor suggests you get one, be sure you do. You may feel woozy or shaky when you wake up. In rare cases, some people can have serious reactions to the medications such as heart or breathing problems. But your doctor and her team are trained to identify and treat these side effects. Tell her if you're allergic to any medicines or have ever had a bad reaction to anesthesia.
system: Does improper storage cause birth control pills to fail?
output: Birth control pills should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, so don't keep them in your bathroom. Make sure to keep them in their original packaging so that they're protected.
system: What should you do if you accidentally miss a birth control pill?
output: Just take it as soon as you remember and continue taking your next pill at the regular time. If it's a mini-pill and it's been more than 3 hours, use a backup method of contraception. If you're taking combined pills and miss two or more hormone pills, you should call your doctor. What you should do next will depend on what kind of pill you're on, so she can advise you. No matter what, you should use a backup method of birth control like a condom since your chances of getting pregnant are much higher after you miss two or more pills.
system: How do other medications affect my birth control pill?
output: Some medicines can make your birth control pill less effective. Most antibiotics are safe to take while you're on birth control pills, but one -- rifampin ( Rifadin IV) -- can stop the pill from working. Tell your doctor you're on birth control if he prescribes you rifampin. Other medicines like mood stabilizers, epilepsy medicines, and HIV drugs can also make the pill less effective. Make sure to discuss these with your doctor.
system: What are combined birth control pills?
output: A pack of combined pills usually has 21 to 24 days of hormones and 4 to 7 days of reminder pills. You should get your period while taking the reminder pills. You might take one pack of combined pills every month, or you can take the hormone pills continuously to delay or stop your periods. It's generally considered safe to skip or eliminate your periods, but you should discuss this option with your doctor and then follow her instructions on when to take the pill. Mini-pills packs contain only 1 hormone, progestin.
system: When does the pill start working after you take it?
output: The pill doesn't start working immediately. You need to take it for at least a few days before it becomes effective. That's why it's important to use a backup contraceptive, like condoms, when you first start taking it. Talk to your doctor about how long you need to use a backup method. Some recommend you use one during your entire first pack.
system: Will I get pregnant if I miss a pill?
output: The moment you realize it can be scary, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get pregnant. No matter which kind you use, it's crucial to take them exactly as prescribed, even on the days you don't have sex. Talk to your doctor if you just had a baby or are breastfeeding and want to take the birth control pill.
system: What are mini-pills birth control pills?
output: Combined pills contain two hormones, estrogen and progestin. If you're taking mini-pills, it's very important to take all 28 pills at the exact same time every day. If you're late taking a pill by just 3 hours, you have to use a backup method of birth control, such as a condom.
system: When can I start taking the pill again after pregnancy?
output: You got busy and forgot to take your birth control pill. You need to take it for at least a few days before it becomes effective. Remember, the pill doesn't protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases, so you need to continue to use condoms every time you have sex, especially with new partners, to stay safe.
system: What triggers a herpes outbreak?
output: Some commonly reported triggers include: Stress Illness Surgery Vigorous sex Diet Monthly period Your doctor can diagnose genital herpes by visual inspection if the outbreak is typical and by examining a sample from the sore(s). Once a person has the virus, it remains in the body.
system: How does drinking alcohol affect my heart failure?
output: It can affect your heart rate and worsen your heart failure. Your doctor may tell you to avoid or limit alcoholic beverages. Alcohol may also interact with the medications you are taking.
system: How can food labels help with your diet and heart failure?
output: Nutrition labels and an ingredient list are required on most foods so you can make the best choice for a healthy lifestyle.
system: How can you make sure to limit salt in your diet if you have heart failure?
output: Learn to read food labels. Use the information on food packages to help you to make the best low-sodium selections.

system: Does anal sex raise your chances of getting anal cancer?
output: Receptive anal intercourse is strongly related to the development of anal cancer.
system: When is anal cancer diagnosed?
output: Most anal cancers (80%) are diagnosed in people who are over age 60.
system: How many people get anal cancer?
output: The American Cancer Society estimates that 8,200 cases of anal cancer will be diagnosed in 2017 and about 1,100 deaths will occur that year from anal cancer. By contrast, some135,730 people are predicted to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the U. S. in 2017, and about 50,260 people are predicted to die of the disease the same year.
system: What tests do I need if I think I have anal cancer?
output: If cancer is suspected, a biopsy should be done and the specimen examined by a pathologist. Staging workup may include an abdominal and pelvic CT scan, a pelvic MRI scan to assess the pelvic lymph nodes, a chest x-ray, and liver function studies.
system: Who can get anal cancer?
output: The incidence rate of anal cancer is six times higher in single men as compared to married men. Receptive anal intercourse is strongly related to the development of anal cancer.
system: What are the most common symptoms of anal cancer?
output: The most common symptom associated with anal cancer is bleeding. Because anal itching can also be a symptom of the cancer, many people initially attribute their bleeding and itching to hemorrhoids. This can delay the diagnosis of anal cancer.
system: What are the treatments for anal cancer?
output: Anal cancer is primarily treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.
system: How can anal cancer be prevented?
output: Gardasil, one of the HPV vaccines originally approved for the prevention of cervical cancer, is also approved for the prevention of anal cancer in men and women.

system: What are the symptoms of anal cancer?
output: The most common symptom associated with anal cancer is bleeding. Because anal itching can also be a symptom of the cancer, many people initially attribute their bleeding and itching to hemorrhoids. This can delay the diagnosis of anal cancer. Other signs and symptoms of anal cancer may include: Pain or pressure in the anal area Unusual discharges from the anus Lump near the anus Change in bowel habits Anal cancer may be detected during a routine digital rectal exam or during a minor procedure, such as removal of what is believed to be a hemorrhoid.
system: How is anal cancer first detected?
output: Other signs and symptoms of anal cancer may include: Pain or pressure in the anal area Unusual discharges from the anus Lump near the anus Change in bowel habits Anal cancer may be detected during a routine digital rectal exam or during a minor procedure, such as removal of what is believed to be a hemorrhoid. The cancer may also be detected with more invasive procedures such as an anoscopy, proctoscopy, or endorectal ultrasound.
system: When is anal cancer usually diagnosed?
output: Approximately half of all anal cancers are diagnosed before the malignancy has spread beyond the primary site, whereas 13% to 25% are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, and 10% are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to distant organs, or has metastasized.
system: What is the survival rate for anal cancer?
output: Approximately half of all anal cancers are diagnosed before the malignancy has spread beyond the primary site, whereas 13% to 25% are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, and 10% are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to distant organs, or has metastasized. When it is found early, anal cancer is highly treatable. The overall five-year survival rate following diagnosis of anal cancer is 60% for men and 71% for women.
system: How does age and gender affect your risk of anal cancer?
output: By contrast, some135,730 people are predicted to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the U. S. in 2017, and about 50,260 people are predicted to die of the disease the same year. Prior to age 35, anal cancer is more common in men. However, after age 50, anal cancer is slightly more common in women.
system: Who is prone to get anal cancer?
output: By contrast, some135,730 people are predicted to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the U. S. in 2017, and about 50,260 people are predicted to die of the disease the same year. In this subgroup, the prognosis is worse, than for non-immunocompromised patients.
system: Who is most likely to get anal cancer?
output: By contrast, some135,730 people are predicted to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the U. S. in 2017, and about 50,260 people are predicted to die of the disease the same year. Prior to age 35, anal cancer is more common in men. However, after age 50, anal cancer is slightly more common in women.
system: Why shouldn't you ignore flu symptoms when you're sick?
output: You usually don’t need to see a doctor for a run-of-the-mill cold. But call her if you have signs of the flu, such as a high fever, body aches, and fatigue. She can give you an antiviral drug such as oseltamivir ( Tamiflu) or zanamivir ( Relenza). If you take one in the first 48 hours that you’re sick, you can ease your symptoms and shorten your illness by 1 or 2 days.
system: Why shouldn't you smoke when you're sick?
output: Smoking damages your lungs and irritates your throat. That can make your cold symptoms worse. So ditch the cigarettes and steer clear of secondhand smoke.
system: Why shouldn't you skip meals and snacks when you're sick?
output: You might not have much of an appetite, but it’s important to eat something. Calories and nutrients will fuel the immune cells that attack cold and flu viruses. The result: You may get better faster. Try eating a bowl of chicken soup. Research shows that this classic may actually relieve some of those symptoms.
system: Why is getting stressed bad when you're sick?
output: A hormone your body makes when you’re stressed is hard on the immune system. It also increases inflammation, which can make your stuffy nose even worse. Make an effort to focus on relaxing and recovering, and you may be back on your feet sooner.
system: Why should you drink lots of fluids when you're sick?
output: When your throat aches, it’s not as easy to gulp down liquids. But when you stay hydrated, you can thin your mucus and break up congestion. It can also fend off headaches. That can make your cold symptoms worse.
system: Why shouldn't you skimp on sleep when you're sick?
output: One study found that people who get less than 6 hours of shut-eye a night are four times more likely to get sick than those who log at least 7. So go to bed early and take naps during the day. Are your symptoms keeping you up? Soothe a nighttime cough with a little honey, and run a humidifier to help you breathe easier. A hormone your body makes when you’re stressed is hard on the immune system.
system: Why shouldn't you power through when you're sick?
output: Don’t keep up with your usual routine. Make rest a priority. Cancel those plans and stay home from work or school. Along with helping your body recover, you’ll also keep from spreading those germs around. That can make your cold symptoms worse.
system: Why shouldn't you insist on an antibiotic when you're sick?
output: Nearly one-third of antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary. This can raise your risk of side effects, such as diarrhea and allergic reactions. It also contributes to a huge global health problem: antibiotic resistance. That’s when bacteria get used to the drugs, so they don’t work anymore. Calories and nutrients will fuel the immune cells that attack cold and flu viruses. That can make your cold symptoms worse.
system: What mistakes do people make when they get sick?
output: You try to power through. You ignore flu symptoms. You skimp on sleep. You bug your doctor for an antibiotic.
system: What is erectile dysfunction?
output: Erectile dysfunction, also known as ED or impotence, is the inability to attain or maintain an erection of the penis adequate for the sexual satisfaction of both partners. It can be devastating to the self-esteem of a man and of his partner. As many as 30 million American men are afflicted on a continuing basis, and transient episodes affect nearly all adult males. But nearly all men who seek treatment find some measure of relief.
system: What causes erectile dysfunction in older men?
output: Because erections primarily involve the blood vessels, it is not surprising that the most common causes in older men are conditions that block blood flow to the penis, such as atherosclerosis or diabetes. Another vascular cause may be a faulty vein, which lets blood drain too quickly from the penis. Other physical disorders, as well as hormonal imbalances and certain operations, may also result in erectile dysfunction. The vascular processes that produce an erection are controlled by the nervous system and certain prescription medications may have the side effect of interfering with necessary nerve signals. Among the possible culprits are a variety of stimulants, sedatives, diuretics, antihistamines, and drugs to treat high blood pressure, cancer, or depression.
system: What causes erectile dysfunction in younger men?
output: Erectile dysfunction in younger men. The sexual difficulties may also be linked to these factors: Depression Fatigue Stress Feelings of inadequacy Personal sexual fears Rejection by parents or peers Sexual abuse in childhood
system: What happens after hip replacement surgery?
output: You will likely stay in the hospital for four to six days and may have to stay in bed with a wedge-shaped cushion between your legs to keep the new hip joint in place. A drainage tube will likely be placed in your bladder to help you go to the bathroom. Physical therapy usually begins the day after surgery and within days you can walk with a walker, crutches, or a cane. You will continue physical therapy for weeks to months following the surgery.
system: What is a hip replacement surgery?
output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier.
system: What are possible risks of hip replacement surgery?
output: Infection and bleeding are also possible, as are risks associated with using general anesthesia. Other less common concerns that you and your doctor must watch out for are: Your legs may not be of equal length after the surgery. You must be careful not to cross your legs or not to sit too low because the joint may be dislocated. Pieces of fat in the bone marrow may become loose, enter the bloodstream and get into the lungs, which can cause very serious breathing problems. Nerves in the hip area may be injured from swelling or pressure and can cause some numbness. The replacement parts may become loose, break, or become infected.
system: How long will my new joint last after hip replacement surgery?
output: We now know that about 85% of the hip joint implants will last 20 years. Improvements in surgical technique and artificial joint materials should make these implants last even longer. If the joint does become damaged, surgery to repair it can be successful but is more complicated than the original procedure.
system: Is hip replacement surgery safe?
output: Hip replacements surgery has been performed for years and surgical techniques are being improved all the time. As with any surgery, however, there are risks. Since you will not be able to move around much at first, blood clots are a particular concern. Your doctor will give you blood thinners to help prevent blood clots from occurring. Infection and bleeding are also possible, as are risks associated with using general anesthesia.
system: What can I do at home after hip replacement surgery?
output: There are a few simple measures that you can take to make life easier when you return home after hip replacement surgery, including: Keep stair climbing to a minimum. Make the necessary arrangements so that you will only have to go up and down the steps once or twice a day. Sit in a firm, straight-back chair. To help avoid falls, remove all throw rugs and keep floors and rooms clutter free. Use an elevated toilet seat. This will help keep you from bending too far at the hips. You should ask your doctor before returning to such activities as driving, sexual activity, and exercise.
system: What activities should I avoid after hip replacement surgery?
output: For anywhere from six to 12 months after hip replacement surgery, pivoting or twisting on the involved leg should be avoided. You should also not cross the involved leg past the midline of the body nor turn the involved leg inward and you should not bend at the hip past 90 degrees. Remember, by not following your therapist's recommendations you could dislocate your newly replaced hip joint and may require another surgery. Even after your hip joint has healed, certain sports or heavy activity should be avoided.
system: What technique is used during a hip replacement surgery?
output: The main difference between the two procedures is the size of the incision. While most hip replacement surgeries today are performed using the standard technique (one 8 to 10 inch cut along the side of the hip), in recent years, some doctors have been using a minimally-invasive technique. In the minimally-invasive approach, doctors make one to two cuts from 2 to 5 inches long. The small cuts are thought to lessen blood loss, ease pain following surgery, shorten hospital stays, reduce scar appearance, and speed healing.
