Four days ago, my husband and I had sex in the shower. After the shower, I started to have this white vaginal discharge. It doesn't smell and it's not thick. I have had it ever since. Today, we had sex again, and it started hurting inside like I was cramping up. Now, I have the discharge and the cramping. What could be wrong???

I think I have been developing migraine headaches. I have alot of pressure/pain at the top of my head, combined with dizziness, lack of concentration and a strange metallic taste in my mouth. These headaches are now coming every day.

Does it sound like migraine to you?

I am 14 and I am in gymnastics. I am short. I weigh more than all of my taller friends. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I think I am fat. My family and friends say I am not even close to being fat. They say I am perfect. Why do I weigh so much? Is it because I am a gymnast or am I fat?

I’ve had a bit of an alignment problem with my teeth for a while and I’ve finally decided to get it fixed with veneers, but when I got to the dentist I was informed that veneers would not be the best options because I have a cross bite (the canine tooth on the bottom row overlaps with one of the tooth in the front row),she said if I got veneers it would get dislodged/crack or break when I bite and this would be a problem cause veneers can’t be replaced. I was wondering what other cosmetic surgery can be done to fix this problem, because the only other options she gave me were to get braces and I am not really interested in that, I think I am too old for that. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem with the cross bite?

Thanks, your reply is greatly appreciated.

I find it a bit odd and wondered how other people felt. A male I used to know felt that only a particular type was attractive and all others repulsive. Do men have preference like that? I dont mean shaved/unshaved but rather the color and shape. Are men picky about this or something?

I am just starting out with dieting and exercise. I am looking to lose 20-30 lbs and I was just wondering if any of the diet pills were worth trying.

I have been having BHA peels which has dried out my acne but I still have the clogged pores... resulting in tiny little bumps around my chin area.
My beauty therapist recommended getting an hr of full on microdermabrasion next since my skin has dried out resulting in now acne scars and the clogged pores.
Will micro get rid of the clogged pores... as I hate having a bumpy face.

My orthodonist said that I needed braces, but only for the top part of my mouth, becuase the bottom is straight. Anyway, me and my parents need to choose the cheapest there is. I have heard that there is such a thing as 4 braces, like, just for the 4 center teeth, not the back teeth, is this cheaper or not? also what is the cheapest braces you can get (just the top ones)

Alcoholism runs in my family. I have a family member who is an alcoholic. She is not in denial and has been in and out of AA for years. She realizes she needs help and is going to enter a 2wk rehab soon. She is the type that hides this disease so well that we never know when she is on or off the wagon. No one would ever guess she has a problem. She is single, lives alone, and has no kids (and so far it has not affected her job) so there is no one to really hold her accountable for her drinking. Recently she told her immediate family/friends that she relapsed several months ago (this even includes her boss). She's trying everything she knows to get well, and I'd like to help her anyway I can.

Besides holding her accountable daily and going to meetings with her, what are some things I can do to help that a person wouldn't normally think of? If anyone has experience with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Okay, our teacher left us this reasearch assignment and I no matter how I search, I just can't seem to find the right answer. She's asking us what is the role of Colloids in kidney dialysis... Does anyone have any idea? If you know any resources, please tell me. Thanks a lot~!

It healed off center in a way that there is a protruding lump above my collar bone. instead of the bone being healed completely attached diameter to diameter; each part of the bone is off centered to the other part. This does not keep my arm or body from functioning, however my collar bone cannot be as strong as if it was correctly connected. sometimes this does cause me a minimal amount of pain and irritation.
my concern is i will soon have insurance. but if this is considered a cosmetic surgery, it may not be covered
thanks

Hey everyone, I wondered, how come that some people are so slim but still eat so much while some obese people eat little but still struggle with their weight? I guess it's the genetics but is there any way to improve one's digestive system?

I am recovering from anorexia. I am 20, 5'5, and weigh 110. 6 months ago I was 91. I want to stop gaining so bad! Is 110 enough for me? My parents want me gain more. I still dont have a period. But I really don't want to gain anymore! But I honestly dont want to lose either. At 110 I can still fit my size 0/1 jeans, because I can't gain any weight in my lower body. Honest opinions please. I know I can't trust myselfon this one.

We are suggestions for sleep 8-10 hours. I've heard that if we sleep more than that we will be tired the next day. Why so?

I am 29 and am being treated for breast cancer. My onc told me he was concerned about my current weight. I start chemo (A/C) in a few days and he says there will be weight loss. I weigh 105 pounds. Any ideas on foods that can give me weight gain besides unhealthy foods? Any answers would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Please NO nasty remarks. The palms of my hands are, from time to time, very, very red in the mornings, when I first get up. The back of my hands have some splotchy redness to them too. Does anyone have any idea of what this is? No rude answers PLEASE!!

It seems like i could never get enough sleep. In school days, I have 6/7 hours of sleep; in holidays, even when i can sleep for longer, i still wake up tired. What's the problem and is there any solution to it?

What would you do if your friends kept on taking pictures and how dangerous is it for your eye. Now I wasn't extremely close or anything but those this really hurt.
