Problem: Article: If you develop calf pain that won't go away after a few days, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your leg and calf muscles, ask questions about your lifestyle and how you might have injured it, and maybe even take X-rays of your lower leg (to rule out a fracture of the tibia and fibula bones). If necessary, your doctor will refer you to a musculoskeletal specialist, who has more specialized training. Other types of healthcare professionals who could help diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries include osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists. However, you should always start with your doctor, as he can also rule out other, potentially serious causes of pain, such as blood clots, vascular injury, baker's cysts, or a potential surgical emergency like compartment syndrome. Calf muscle injuries are usually just mild Grade I strains, but sometimes surgery is required if the muscles are badly torn. Furthermore, some serious medical conditions can cause calf pain or refer pain to that region, such as a bone fracture, bone cancer, bone infection (osteomyelitis), venous insufficiency, sciatica from a lumbar disc herniation or complications related to diabetes. As such, medical specialists such as an orthopedist (bone and joint specialist), neurologist (nerve specialist) or physiatrist (muscle and bone specialist) may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of your calf pain. X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scan and ultrasound are modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your lower leg pain. Calf muscle injuries are relatively common among those who play tennis, basketball, football, soccer and volleyball, as well as those who run track and field. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Rest and home care modalities (such as ice) are appropriate for mild-to-moderate calf muscle strains. Research calf injuries on the internet (only medically reputable sites) in order to flesh out your understanding of the condition and learn more about treatments and their expected outcomes. Factors that can predispose someone to a muscle strain (or "pull") include older age, previous muscle injury, less flexibility, lack of strength in the muscle and fatigue.
Summary: Schedule an appointment with your doctor. See a specialist about your leg. Understand the various types of treatments available.

Problem: Article: Even when you're not on antibiotics, douching can lead to conditions in the vagina that promote yeast growth. Douches usually contain chemicals that kill off that good bacteria and leave room for the bad stuff to take over. Douching can also change the pH level in the vagina. Instead of douching, wash with warm water only. Avoid using harsh soaps or body washes. Products with added scents can cause irritation. Don't put perfumes and sprays on your vagina. If you absolutely must add a scent, use a spray made from water and a gentle essential oil, such as a few drops of lavender. Tampons can encourage the growth of extra yeast. If you have your period while you're on antibiotics, switch to pads. Just make sure they're unscented, since a chemical-based perfume might irritate your vagina. Wipe from front to back to avoid any transfer of bacteria from the anal area to the vagina, which can encourage infection. Make sure your vaginal area stays clean and dry. Dyes and fragrances applied to your vagina can lead to the growth of yeast.
Summary: Avoid douching. Avoid using perfumes or feminine sprays. Use unscented pads instead of tampons. Wipe yourself thoroughly after using the restroom. Use only unscented, white toilet paper.

Problem: Article: It may seem trite, but there's practical wisdom in this saying. If you approach a guy while putting up some false facade, you'll feel pressured to maintain that facade throughout your entire relationship. Since you're aiming for marriage, you'd have to hide your real self for the rest of your life to make things last. You'll need to create a positive first impression when searching for potential matches, of course. Start things off by demonstrating your best qualities rather than pretending to have qualities you don't actually have. Have some self-confidence. Every person has his or her own faults, but no one is entirely without merit, either. Valuing yourself is the easiest and surest way to encourage others to do the same. Body image is one aspect of self-esteem that many women struggle with. Instead of lamenting the physical features that seem less-than-perfect, try focusing on features that you do feel pleased about. By drawing attention to those features, you may feel more confident about your overall appearance, and that renewed sense of confidence may catch the attention of possible matches. Everyone has shortcomings, and being aware of your own problems can be a good thing. Instead of changing yourself in the hopes of making the right guy fall for you, though, you should implement changes for the purpose of improving your own life. By making changes for yourself, you'll become happier independently of any relationship. You'll be more satisfied with yourself and your life at any given time regardless of whether you're single or married. If you believe in God or some type of higher power, spend time praying about your desire to marry. Ask for guidance on your search and during your relationship with a possible future husband. Of course, you don't have to follow this piece of advice if you don't believe in any type of higher power. Individuals who try to build their lives on a foundation of faith should strive to build their future marriages on the same foundation, though.
Summary:
Be true to yourself. Know your own value. Improve yourself for yourself. Pray for guidance.
