system: What is hormone treatment used for prostate cancer?
output: Prostate cancer grows when exposed to the male hormone testosterone and its related hormones, called androgens. Hormone treatment for prostate cancer is used to lower or stop the production of testosterone and all androgens either temporarily or permanently. Hormone treatments can be given in many ways, such as by injection or as pills. The use of combined hormone therapy that decreases testosterone production from the testicles, as well as from glands located on the kidneys, called adrenal glands Hormone treatment may also include surgical removal of the testicles (called orchiectomy), where testosterone is produced.
system: What do hormone treatments for prostate cancer include?
output: Hormone treatment may include: The use of various drugs such as anti-androgens that block the activity of male hormones in the body The use of drugs that lower testosterone levels, including luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone ( LHRH) analogs or agonists; newer agents may also block the production of androgens by the adrenal glands. The use of combined hormone therapy that decreases testosterone production from the testicles, as well as from glands located on the kidneys, called adrenal glands Hormone treatment may also include surgical removal of the testicles (called orchiectomy), where testosterone is produced. This prevents male hormones from further stimulating the growth of the prostate cancer. Hormone treatment can be used in men with various degrees of prostate cancer.
system: When is hormone treatment used for prostate cancer?
output: Hormone treatment (also called androgen deprivation therapy or androgen suppression therapy) removes, blocks, or adds hormones to treat prostate cancer. Hormone treatment can be used in men with various degrees of prostate cancer. Factors to consider are quality of life, cost of the treatment, and how effective and safe hormone treatment may be in a particular case.

system: What is leukoplakia?
output: Leukoplakia is a white or gray patch that develops on the tongue, the inside of the cheek, or on the floor of the mouth. It is the mouth's reaction to chronic irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth. Leukoplakia patches can also develop on the female genital area; however, the cause of this is unknown.
system: What are the symptoms of leukoplakia?
output: Causes of leukoplakia can include: Irritation from rough teeth, fillings, or crowns, or ill-fitting dentures that rub against your cheek or gum Chronic smoking, pipe smoking, or other tobacco use Sun exposure to the lips Oral cancer (although rare) HIV or AIDS The presence of white or gray colored patches on your tongue, gums, roof of your mouth, or the inside of the cheeks of your mouth may be a sign of leukoplakia. The patch may have developed slowly over weeks to months and be thick, slightly raised, and may eventually take on a hardened and rough texture. It usually is painless, but may be sensitive to touch, heat, spicy foods, or other irritation.
system: What is the treatment for leukoplakia?
output: Treatment for leukoplakia, if needed, involves removing the source of irritation. For example, if leukoplakia is caused by a rough tooth or an irregular surface on a denture or a filling, the tooth will be smoothed and dental appliances repaired. If eliminating the source of irritation is ineffective in reducing leukoplakia, the lesion may need to be surgically removed.
system: How is rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia diagnosed?
output: There's no one test for fibromyalgia. Doctors make that diagnosis if you have widespread pain that's not from another medical condition for more than 3 months. Because its symptoms overlap with other conditions, it's often hard to spot. On average, it takes 5 years to diagnose fibromyalgia. Many fibromyalgia symptoms are like those of RA. But there are some key differences: RA causes inflammation in the joints. The pain can come and go. With fibromyalgia, the ache is constant, and it happens all over your body. You feel dull pain that lasts at least 3 months. With fibromyalgia, you often feel tenderness when someone touches you.
system: What drugs can help to treat fibromyalgia?
output: If you have fibromyalgia, some drugs can ease the pain and help you sleep better: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen and naproxen ( Aleve). Antidepressants. These medications can ease aches and fatigue. They can also help you get a better night's rest. Anti-seizure medicines. Drugs that treat epilepsy can give you relief by making you less sensitive to pain.

Things you'll see on the table that you should reach for include: Fish and seafood Fruits Whole grains Nuts Olive oil Vegetables Avocados Legumes Your cells use glucose, a kind of sugar, for energy. Choose low-fat dairy items because they have less saturated fat. This can help keep your cholesterol and your triglycerides in check.
system: How does a birth control sponge work?
output: The device protects against pregnancy in three ways: It releases a spermicide to kill sperm cells for 24 hours. You can have sex during that time without needing more spermicide. It's designed to trap and absorb semen before the sperm have a chance to enter the cervix, which connects the vagina to the uterus. It acts as a barrier between the sperm and the cervix.
system: What is a birth control sponge?
output: You don't need a prescription for the sponge, which is made of polyurethane foam. Out of 100 women who use the sponge, 9-11 will get pregnant in a typical year.

output: It's a form of birth control that some women use. To protect against STDs such as HIV, the male condom provides the best protection.
system: What is eczema and who gets it?
output: Eczema is the term for a few different skin conditions. But most of the time, it refers to a common skin disease called atopic dermatitis, which causes a dry, itchy, red rash. If you scratch it, it can start to ooze and crust over. Do it over a long period of time, and your skin can get thick and dark. Most people with eczema get it as children. Symptoms often improve by age 5 or 6, and flare-ups stop for more than half of kids by their teenage years. But many people still have the disease as adults, though their symptoms tend to be milder. It's less common to get eczema for the first time as an adult.
system: How can genes play a role in the link between eczema and allergies?
output: Researchers have found that some people with the condition have a gene flaw that causes a lack of a type of protein, called filaggrin, in their skin. It helps form the protective outer layer of our skin and keeps out germs and more. A lack of filaggrin dries out and weakens that skin barrier. This makes skin vulnerable to irritants, like soaps and detergents. It also makes it easier for allergens to get into the body. Scientists believe that that makes people more sensitive to those allergens and even some foods.
system: How can too many antibodies play a role in the link between eczema and allergies?
output: Immunoglobulin E ( Ig E) is a type of antibody that plays a role in the body's allergic response. People with eczema have higher-than-normal levels of it. Researchers are working to understand why people with the skin condition make too much Ig E and what role this may play in the disease.
system: How can how your body reacts to an allergen play a role in the link between eczema and allergies?
output: Some research has found that people with eczema may have a defect in their skin barrier. Small gaps in the skin make it dry out quickly, and let germs and allergens into the body. When allergens enter the skin, they prompt the body to make chemicals that lead to redness and swelling, called inflammation. Research also points to a problem with a type of white blood cell that releases chemicals that help control allergic reactions in the body. This may help explain why people with eczema have outbreaks when they're around allergens.
system: What is the link between allergies and eczema?
output: Does your child have red, itchy rashes while you or your partner have seasonal allergies or asthma? Studies show that if one or both parents have eczema, asthma, or seasonal allergies, their child is more likely to have eczema. But understanding the connection can help you manage the disease.
system: How is eczema connected to allergies?
output: But the disease can flare up when you're around things that cause an allergic reaction. Your body's immune system overreacts to substances, called allergens, that are usually not harmful. You might get hives, itching, swelling, sneezing, and a runny nose. Allergens can include: Dust mites Pollen Pet dander Some foods Children with eczema are also more likely to have food allergies, such as to eggs, nuts, or milk. They often make eczema symptoms worse for kids but not for adults. Pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites, and other allergens may make eczema flare up.
system: How can you avoid allergy triggers to prevent eczema?
output: But the disease can flare up when you're around things that cause an allergic reaction. It can help you figure out what things might be triggering them. Share the journal with your doctor during appointments. Stay away from things that irritate your skin. Common ones include wool, soaps and detergents, perfume, chemicals, sand, and cigarette smoke. Avoid allergy triggers. Pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites, and other allergens may make eczema flare up. You could try a dust-proof mattress and pillow covers, remove carpets, avoid contact with animals, and stay indoors when pollen counts are high.

output: But there are steps you can take to get a good night's rest. Go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time. Reserve your bedroom for sleep and sex only - no pets, TVs, work, or gadgets. Keep the room cool. Use soft fabrics for PJs, sheets and blankets. Skip naps. Avoid exercise, large meals or alcohol within 2-3 hours of bedtime.
system: How can learning to relax help with hepatitis C?
output: To combat anxiety and depression, exercise regularly. It helps your state of mind as much as your body. Try out some relaxation and massage techniques. There isn't any scientific evidence that these approaches will help, but many people have benefited from them. Most of all, keep living your life. Don't isolate yourself. Go out with friends. Do things you enjoy. Don't let your worries about hepatitis C keep you from doing the things you've always done.
system: How can taking care of your liver help manage hepatitis C?
output: Hepatitis C can make it harder for your liver to do its main job: break down and filter out substances from your bloodstream. As a result, medications, herbs, drugs, and alcohol may stay in your system longer, and have a more powerful effect. Some substances pose the risk of serious liver damage. Common painkillers and cold remedies with and acetaminophen can be toxic to people with damaged livers, especially if you take them with alcohol or in greater than recommended doses. Be careful with herbal remedies, too. They can be powerful medicine, and some of them can do real harm. Don't assume that over-the-counter medications are safe, either. Never take any drugs, supplements or alternative medicines before talking to your doctor. If you're a smoker, try to quit. If you're using illegal drugs, get into a treatment program. Ask your doctor whether you should cut out alcohol completely, or limit drinks to special occasions.
system: Are you awake when you get deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy treatment?
output: DBS is usually done while you're awake. You'll get medicine to relax you and prevent pain. Your doctor will attach a metal frame to your head to keep you still during the surgery. He'll shave your hair in the part of your head where the procedure will be done.
system: When might you get deep brain stimulation to treat epilepsy?
output: DBS is an option if other epilepsy treatments don't work or your doctor doesn't recommend them.
system: What will happen after deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy?
output: After your surgery, your doctor will turn on the DBS device with a small computer called a programming unit. He'll use it to adjust the speed and intensity of the electrical signals to control your seizures. You'll also get a programming unit to take home, so you can adjust your device and track any seizures you get. DBS might not stop your seizures completely, but it should cut down how many you get. You'll need to get the battery replaced every 3 to 4 years.
system: How does deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy work?
output: When you have epilepsy, abnormal bursts of electrical activity in these brain cells set off seizures. When you get DBS, the tiny electrodes that your doctor puts into your brain deliver an electric current. This interrupts the abnormal electrical signals and helps prevent seizures. It's kind of like having a pacemaker for your brain. Electrical signals will travel from the neurostimulator to the leads in your brain.
system: What are thermal burns?
output: Touching a very hot object raises the temperature of your skin to the point that your skin cells start dying. Very hot metals, scalding liquids, and flames all cause thermal burns. Steam can, too.
system: What are friction burns?
output: They include: Friction burns. When a hard object rubs off some of your skin, you have what's called a friction burn. It's both an abrasion (scrape) and a heat burn. These are common in motorcycle and bike accidents. Carpet burn is another type of friction burn.
system: How bad is my burn?
output: Doctors group burns into different categories based on how deeply your skin has been harmed. These are called âdegrees.â You can have a first-, second-, third-, or fourth-degree burn. The higher the degree, the more severe the burn is.
system: What are radiation burns?
output: Sunburn is a type of radiation burn. Other sources of radiation, like X-rays or radiation therapy to treat cancer, can also cause these.
system: What are electrical burns?
output: If you come into contact with an electrical current, you can get this type of burn.
system: What are chemical burns?
output: Chemical burns. Strong acids, solvents or detergents that touch your skin can cause it to burn.
system: What are cold burns?
output: Also called âfrostbite,â cold burns cause damage to your skin by freezing it. You can get frostbite by being outside in freezing temperatures. It can also happen when your skin comes into direct contact with something very cold for a prolonged period of time.
system: How is obesity linked to gout?
output: Gout is a disease that affects the joints. It happens when you have too much uric acid in your blood. The extra uric acid can form crystals that deposit in the joints. Gout is more common in overweight people. The more you weigh, the more likely you are to get gout. Over the short term, sudden weight changes may lead to a flare-up of gout. If you have a history of gout, check with your doctor for the best way to lose weight.
system: How is obesity linked to cancer?
output: Cancers of the colon, breast (after menopause), endometrium (the lining of the uterus), kidney, and esophagus are linked to obesity. Some studies have also reported links between obesity and cancers of the gallbladder, ovaries, and pancreas.
system: How is obesity linked to osteoarthritis?
output: Ironically, weight loss itself, particularly rapid weight loss or loss of a large amount of weight, can make you more likely to get gallstones. Gout is a disease that affects the joints. The extra uric acid can form crystals that deposit in the joints.
system: How is obesity linked to gallbladder disease?
output: Ironically, weight loss itself, particularly rapid weight loss or loss of a large amount of weight, can make you more likely to get gallstones. Losing weight at a rate of about 1 pound a week is less likely to cause gallstones. The more you weigh, the more likely you are to get gout.
system: How is obesity linked to type 2 diabetes?
output: If you have type 2 diabetes, losing weight and becoming more physically active can help control your blood sugar levels. Becoming more active may also reduce your need for diabetes medication. Gout is more common in overweight people.
system: How is obesity linked to sleep apnea?
output: Here's a closer look at seven conditions that are linked to being obese or overweight. Sleep apnea can cause a person to snore heavily and to briefly stop breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea may cause daytime sleepiness and make heart disease and stroke more likely. Weight loss often improves sleep apnea.
system: How is obesity linked to heart disease and stroke?
output: It makes you more likely to have conditions including: Heart disease and stroke High blood pressure Diabetes Some cancers Gallbladder disease and gallstones Osteoarthritis Gout Breathing problems, such as sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing for short episodes during sleep) and asthma Not everyone who is obese has these problems. Both of those conditions make heart disease or stroke more likely. The good news is that losing a small amount of weight can reduce your chances of developing heart disease or a stroke.
