Problem: Article: Pain or discomfort in the abdomen or stomach will intensify as a cancer progresses and a tumor grows. The pain associated with stomach cancer will generally increase in intensity over time, and will not subside with medication. Stomach tumors can compress surrounding structures, while ulcerative cancer can erode the stomach's membranes. Both of these two things can cause stomach pain. Cancer cells secrete substances that diminish the body's hunger signals. This, combined with a tumor tricking your stomach into feeling full, can lead to a distinct loss of appetite. As a result, as cancer progresses, a patient can suffer severe weight loss. If you think you are losing your appetite and losing weight for no reason, keep a record of your weight loss and talk to your doctor. Over time more fluid will build up in your stomach and you may begin to notice lumps and swelling in your stomach. In cancer of the stomach, patients may feel a hard, irregular lump in the abdomen. This lump will move with breathing, and may fall forward when you bend over. A developed cancer may cause a hard mass in the left-upper abdomen in the area of the stomach. When stomach cancer reaches more advanced stages, it can cause continuous bleeding, which is lost as excrement. This will result in bloody or black stools. Check for blood in your stools after going to the bathroom. Look to see if they are very dark, and black like tar. If you experience constipation or diarrhea, this can be a symptom of stomach cancer. Always be completely open when discussing any symptoms in your waste with a doctor.
Summary: Note increasing abdominal pain or discomfort. Evaluate your appetite. Checks for lumps and swelling in your stomach. Look for symptoms in your stool and changes in bowel patterns.

Problem: Article: Exercising regularly can improve the strength of your legs and veins and improve your circulation. Exercises that focus on your legs, such as walking or running, are especially beneficial to help prevent the development of varicose veins or spider veins. Aim to get 30 minutes or more of exercise everyday, or at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week. Other forms of exercise, such as biking, swimming, rollerblading, and jumping rope, can also benefit the health of your veins. Staying immobile for long periods of time causes your veins to work harder to pump blood to your heart, which may result in enlarged veins. Do your best to stay as active as possible throughout the day. If you are forced to stay in one spot for long periods of time, take a short walk or move your legs at least once every 30 minutes to maintain proper blood circulation in your body. If you are travelling or attending a show, for example, get up to stretch your legs every 30 minutes or change your sitting or standing position frequently. The use of intravenous drugs outside of a prescribed medical treatment is extremely dangerous and and ill-advised. It can cause thrombosis and vein collapse as well as other health risks, such as infection. Avoid using intravenous drugs or seek help for your addiction if you are already using them. Injecting drugs into the veins in your feet, groin, or neck is especially dangerous and may cause burst veins, excessive bleeding, abscesses, nerve damage, or stroke. Be sure to avoid using any collapsed veins. For a list of treatment services in your state, visit https://drugabuse.com/drug-abuse-programs/. If you are injecting drugs, never re-use a needle.

Dispose of your needle safely after using it to avoid causing injury to others.
Summary: Do exercises that work your lower body on a regular basis. Avoid sitting or standing still for more than 30 minutes. Avoid using recreational intravenous drugs. Always use new, sharp needles if you inject drugs.

Problem: Article: Children and adolescents are notorious for pushing buttons. Often, they do this to get a rise out of their parents. However, when you respond with anger, you teach inappropriate emotional regulation. Take a moment to collect yourself. Then, respond in a soft, empathetic way. Anger and aggression do not lead to good behavior and often cause more harm than good. Maintaining your cool will show them that you are serious and in control. For example, your son asks can he play the video game for the tenth time. Instead of exploding with "No, stop asking!" say "Tom, I know you like to play the video game, but the answer is still no. Your privileges were taken away for a reason." Children and adolescents need some level of autonomy to learn new skills and increase self-efficacy. They can't do that if you're always doing everything for them. As a parent, it can be hard to give your child some space. But let them do the tasks they are capable of doing for themselves so that they can learn. Once you see that your toddler has tooth brushing down, let them do it for themselves. Resist the urge to take over when you're feeling rushed. Reinforcement works for both negative and positive behaviors--whatever you give attention to increases. Instead of nagging your child about inappropriate behaviors, stop giving attention to them. On the other hand, when your child does something desirable, offer praise or encouragement. For instance, your child helps their younger sibling clear away their toys. You might say, "Wow, Henry! Thanks so much for being a good helper!" Bad-mouthing your spouse's approach in front of the kids can give your kids an open door for playing you against one another. Respect your spouse or co-parent's differences. Discuss disagreements away from little eyes and ears. Try to compromise based on who feels more strongly about what. If you are passionate about your children eating a plant-based diet, stick to your guns. However, if you don't have a strong opinion about your children's religion, then don't fight your spouse about it, if they do. If you both feel strongly about a subject, brainstorm ways you can meet in the middle.
Summary: Soften intense reactions. Avoid over-functioning for the kids. Skip the nagging and praise positive behaviors instead. Learn how to handle parenting conflicts.

Problem: Article: If your doctor diagnoses you with amoebicidal dysentery, only a prescription can treat your condition. Ask your doctor to prescribe an amoebicidal medication, and take the full course, following your doctor's instructions as precisely as possible. Even if you stop experiencing symptoms before you finish your prescription, continue to take your medication. Just because your symptoms stop doesn't mean the disease is fully treated yet. The risk of dehydration can be even more critical for amoebic dysentery. Your doctor may prescribe IV fluids depending upon your condition. If you are not hospitalized, you will need a commercial rehydration drink to replenish your water, sugar, and electrolytes. These can be purchased from most pharmacies. Some drinks come pre-made, while others come as a powder you can mix into water. Follow the package instructions carefully if you buy the powdered variety. Use bottled water when possible. Amoebic dysentery can be severe and potentially life-threatening. If you feel severely dehydrated, you have blood in your stool, you are running a high fever, or you have cramps and pains that prevent you from moving or functioning, seek treatment at a hospital immediately.
Summary:
Ask your doctor for an amoebicidal medication. Rehydrate often. Go to the emergency room for severe symptoms.
