What do you think of yourself then?
I'm just depressed about it and I laugh about it.

My dad had cancer of the stomach a couple of years ago. He had his stomach removed and a new one made from intestinal tissue. Had chemo & radio and thankfully is now well again.
However the whole family has gone to war with each other laying blame at each other's feet and I have had enough.
From Northern Ireland, diet consisted of fried everything and little fibre, fresh fruit & veg.
Which would be the more likely to have caused the cancer ? My dad smoking or his bad diet ?

What can cause a middle-aged female to have trouble urinating? No pain or burning and very full bladder, but could not urinate without "pushing" forcefully. Originally was a light stream, then after pushing, was able to let out a burst of air and then the urine came out...Very weird.

What are some things that can cause this problem and how do I keep this from recurring?

(I do not have medical insurance and am low income, so would prefer to see if there is something I can do, short of paying for a doctor's visit and lab tests, if I can avoid it).

I just started working out again, and bought a new elliptical. I am not overweight at all, just out of shape, and my knees are buckling constantly during my workout. They never buckle at the same time, so I can always catch myself before falling, but i'm still nervous. Does anyone know why this is, just weak knees?

I have combination skin, but in the winter my skin is so dry it's flakey and peeling. I have to use acne treatments, which makes it worse. I need a very moisturizing mask that won't cause me to break out. Homemade or in the store, i'll take anything.

p.s. daily scrubbing and exfoliating does hardly anything to help

Will the surgeon do the procedure in his/her office or at a hospital? I'm having a breast lift done due to extreme weight loss.

My seven-year-old daughter lost her two front over eight months ago and I am quite concerned that I can neither see nor feel signs of her permanent teeth coming in. Her dentist assured me that the x-rays show there are teeth there. Is there anything we can do to speed this process along? I am concerned that as other teeth fall out she will have difficulty eating.

Yeah pretty much there are a more than one (3 to be exact) some bigger than the other the doctors ran a sonogram and said that the are not filled with liquid which is a good sign and should be going down however that's not the case they started to go down but pretty much stalled (not sure if that's spelt right) no these are the conditions I have surrounding my enviornment. I have athletes foot for a couple of years now but it came back and spread a little, I have cats and the litter along with they're urine creates this unbearable smell, There's a nasty mold growing in my bathroom I mean the whole ceiling is practically black and the plaster is bulging. I have been real stressed out lately can that play a factor? I was thinking that staying in my house is not such a great idea since there are like health hazards everywhere there including the cat waste smells, the mold, and the lack of ventilation in my bathroom. I would also like to add that i was playing basketball & got hit there.

My left tear duct is red and swollen. A coworker said I must have a blocked tear duct, as though it was something common. Any ideas?

Ladies - have you ever wished you could urinate as easily as men do? Do you envy men because we never have to worry about dirty toilet seats, and can go to the bathroom anywhere when no toilet is available?

It feels tingly like it would if it fell asleep, but it has been a constant feeling now for almost two days. I can still walk and run on it without much of a hastle or any pain, but it's starting to worry me? Trying to see if this is normal or has happened to anyone else before I go see the doctor. Thanks!

I am a 19 year old female and my doctor suggested I get a hymenectomy. I have never been able to use tampons and any kind of vaginal penetration attempted by my boyfriend stops because of the severe pain. My gynocologist suggested that I get a hymenectomy to aliviate this problem. However, the prospect of surgery down there is scary to me. Has anyone had a hymenectomy that can walk me through what the post-op is like? How much downtime is involved? Did it hurt badly? Do you feel it was worth it? Anything you can tell me would really help!
Thanks!
