Health - 20 August 2006

I asked this question several days ago as a spoof. But the answer I got were quite interesting. One person said the penis is a muscle. Another said the penis is a tendon. I'd just like to clarify that the penis is neither a muscle or a tendon. The penis is made out of and grows because it is made of a sponge like tissue that once filled with blood flow, becomes 'engorged' and becomes stiff or hard. This sponge is called corpus cavornosa. At the tip on the under side is a gland called the 'glands penis' that's where stimulation mainly occurs.

My friend has this condtion and she has no idea what is causing it. It started about a month ago and is gettin worse. At first she thought they were ingrown hairs and her husband pop them. But, later they turned a dark purple. They nearly cover her intire behind now. She has no idea what they are and neither do I.But I told her I would ask Yahoo Answers and see if any one else has this skin conditon. I have never seen anything like it before and hope to get some info on it here. Yes she knows she should go to a doctor but like me no longer has insurance to cover it. Most companys are no longer providing insurance and most insurances are no longer interested in anything but sitting on their butts while you suffer and they complain or just cancel your insurance if you get a major sickness. Some even drop you when it is not major illness they just want the wealthy to support them. They don't mind paying out to those who are wealthy enough to afford the high premiums. Can anyone help?

I've got cavities in my teeth and my dentist says he can't do normal fillings in them and he was talking about inlays and onlays and I don't know what he's talking about.

Why can't he do fillings in my teeth? And what are inlays and onlays anyway and what happens if I need them?

My great-uncle died from cancer of the oesophagus (the food tube from the mouth to the stomach) It then spread to other organs, such as the heart and lungs. What makes the body decide to turn on itself? And why do children get? They're so young!! It's just so sad :(

Ok, I would really like dentists only to answer this question or if you havehad the same problem as me. I have a tooth and it hurts at random moments, not after eating anything at all, it just hurts with a small amount of pain for about 3 seconds. There is not hole or discoloration, and it is the back one next to the molar (not a wisdom tooth). It is not sensitive to heat/cold/sweets, or any food. Can either someone who has had this problem answer this or someone who has/had the same problem as me? Please? I asked this question like 3 times now and havent found a god answer. So I will try until I get a good answer. Thanks =)

Ok so don't yell at me for how stupid this might be.

But lately I'm getting much more paranoid about what a normal stool looks like. For example, this morning, my stool looked normal but sometimes the bowels would shoot out fast (but still formed) and I still feel like I'm having diarrhea mixed in with a normal bowel movement. Is this possible?

Or is diarrhea much more obvious and should not be mixed in with normal, formed bowels?

What does a normal stool mean to you? Is it ok if some bowels come out faster and are not long and thick like some other ones?

I apologize in advance for the oddity of this question...

Before I got married I was about 180 lbs. I am up to 215 after 3 years. The problem is that I don't have any self control when it comes to junk food. Before I got married, I used to simply not buy any junk food, therefore it wasn't in the house, and I didn't have easy access to it. It was the only way to control my junk food habit because if the junk food was there.... I would eat it. I could eat a half a package of Oreos, or a box of Ho Ho's in a sitting.

Now, my wife keeps buying junk food, even though I ask her not to. The obvious solution would be to go shopping with her, and remind her that I shouldn't eat certain things. However, I am not always able to do this due to severe back problems (had surgery recently but it didn't help).

So since I have no self-control, and my only method for controlling my junk food habit (not keeping any in the house) not possible, how can I control my eating of junk food? Hiding it doesn't help, I can usually easily find it if my wife hides it.
