Health - 7 December 2006

O.k. This probably sounds like a dumb question..and it makes me laugh, but I really do want to know the medical reason for this.
WHY do men pass gas more than women and why does it smell so bad!? I don't get it. i have 3 boys, and the older they get, the worse their gas stinks. My hubby and I can eat the SAME food, and he stinks up the house, and I have no gas. What's the deal? Is it hormonal or something? It can't be diet, when we eat the same things but yet the 2 oldest guys in the house get horrible gas, while the rest of us don't. I don't get it!? I have taken a lot of biology/anatomy/physiology classes and can not recall recall reading anything about this!

For a long time Ive had frequent urination,then about 2 yrs or so ago sex became painful,only at first. I thought I had an infection. I dont. She says having babies(ive had 3 births) can shift the uterus and bladder around. She did a physical exam to "check" and said my uterus was pushed to the front and now sits on my bladder. Penetration dosent need to be deep for it to hit my uterus. She says nothing I can do. I want surgery,pin that uterus back up(or something). Any women here experience this? Why should sex hurt forever? Im only 26 with many good sex years ahead. I still have alot of sex but it should never hurt.

I had a live in girlfriend for 2 years, (we were supposed to gt married we hade made all the arrangements) I really loved her, things didnt work out because i was in the military, and we seperated, I last saw her 10 years ago. The break up and being deployed constantly stressed me out where i think i had a nervous breakdown, I lost alot of weight and couldnt function. I went from being frugal, clean, orderly, prompt and punctual to neglecting bills, didnt clean my house up, always late and grabbing clothes out of the dryer.etc etc(I was anti social after awhileI got into trouble and was forced out of the miliary.)


Ive had several relationships and even remaried, (now seperated) but theres not one day that goes by that I think of her everyday, is that normal to still miss and think of her after more than 10 years of not seeing her?

I left the hospital the following day with a large hole that the surgeon did not stitch properly in my opinion with the stapels he used. Subsequently an infection set in treated with BETRADINE Yes IODINE still in use here. I had a very large concave scar that took months to heal and eventually come out to the proper position. However it never stopped growing and i now have a very unsightly mound on my torso that resembles a small breast. with a scab on the top. When in the prone position it falls level but when i cough in this position it reappears as if there is something missing or not healed under the skin making my torso wall very weak. Has anyone else seen or heard of similar complications and if so what is it and what must i do to cure the problem. I am embarrassed to be seen with my shirt off even in front of my girlfriend. Help required urgently.

I've been working out at the gym for quite sometime now. First I wanted to lose weight and I did manage to do that but I lost alot of strength during that process so now I'm doing weight training to increase my strength. Now I'm wondering should I go for good form doing the exercise or should I stack up some more pounds even if it's gonna mean doing some "cheat" or partial reps. The problem is that I don't have a training partner and I workout late at night so it's always difficult for me to get a spotter for the whole workout, so I just have to stick with "do it on your own" methods to increase my intensity.
What do you suggest: Good form less weights or poor form more weights??

Okay......so it's almost Christmas and we'll be having lots of family get togethers. We have the Auntie who is as wide as she is tall. She's just the sweetest person you could ever meet. She has damaged several pieces of furniture with her weight BUT...the worst part is her Hoo~Haa smells soooo awful, that it leaves it's lasting stench wherever it's been such as cushions,beds, car seats etc....

Can't she smell herself? I mean seriously....it's so BAD, nasty, gaggingly gross that NO ONE wants to hug or sit by her. The worst is having her sit in the front seat of the car with you when the heaters on uuhhggggggggggggg

PLEASE HELP !!!

Seven years ago I had back surgery, I need to wear protection at night (diapers). I was just wondering how many people find this too weird to handle if you were dating someone with this kind of condition. Please don't say go to the doctor, I've already been there.

I've always written with my right hand but i have AWFUL handwritting. then i was told that there might be a chance that i am left-handed and i was switch to write with my right hand, in school, because i went to a catholic school and they thought that ppl who wrote with their left-hand were devil's children or something.
anyway, the thing is how can i know whether i really am left-handed or right-handed? i do a lot of things with my left-hand eg. stir, grab things, reach etc. but i also do stuff with my right hand. also, i can "attempt" to write with my left hand-its not totally impossible to me, unlike to others.
nevertheless, there is a chance that i learnt to use my left-hand through observational learing at a young age because my nanny, who was with well into the age of 12-13, was left-handed!
any suggestions anyone?
thank you in advance!
