Health - 16 January 2007

I have gotten 2 bloody noses (maybe 3) in the past couple months. I never used to get them, I'd say the last time was 10 years ago. And it is in only 1 nostril (my right). Any particular reasons? I don't pick my nose as I've found on the internet could cause this. Are there any causes like a high salt intake or high cholesterol? I do have high blood pressure but it is regulated with a prescription.

My mom gets it during the winter season, every year. She's been to the doctor's, and they ruled everything else out. She has a prescription and exercises to help alleviate the problem, but it just never seems to go away. Any suggestions??

Hasn't had a Bowle movement in 4 days.

His stomach hurts & is bloated. I've given him loads of water & juice - but hasn't helped.

When he tries to do a poo - he cries becuase it hurts him.

Think he's to old for rectal laxatives ( he's 6 )
Will massaging his stomach help loosen things up ?

i wasn't sure if i was pregnant or not i had some symptoms like a missed period, breast tenderness but i never took a test. then yesterday i had severe cramping which i thought were menstrual cramps then i started feeling them in my buttocks and vagina as well as lower abdomen and when i went to the bathroom i passed a small white circle with blood and then heavy clots came after that. and about 5 minutes later the severe cramping stopped and i was just really achy. ive bled today and am still aching. do u think it was a miscarriage or just a really bad period

I get nervous and anxious over really stupid things like going to the doctors office or even going to school. i feel like i am going to be sick. I am on lexapro for the anxiety and hopefully it will calm my nervousness down. The reason i get like this is becasue i am very shy and dont have much self confidence.Anyone else like this?

Last night i was under a lot of stress, so i decided to masturbate in order to relax. However before i was able to do so i noticed blood on the head of my penis, around the opening. As of last night there has not been any more bleeding, nor any detectable blood in my urine. I am also on accutane for acne, so my skin is really dry(everywhere) as a result. This has only happened once before, and that was when i was on a previous course of accutane. I went to see my doctor and he said it was erosion on the tip of the penis and had prescribed (antibacterial) ointment. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what advice you might have. Currently i am just moisturizing the area and drinking lots of juice.

My dad has been on Methodone for 20+ years. In the past 2 years he has OD'd three times. He is severely depressed because I lost my mom in '05 and I just moved out this past December. This weekend he OD'd again. He uses the liquid version on the drug and he takes home 2 weeks worth of bottles every Friday. He refuses to get help and I finally had enough. I need to know if there is anything I can do to help him besides babysitting him. Thanks in advance

Sickle cell disease is caused by an autosomal recessive gene. Because the disease causes anemia and pain, parents who have the trait in their families often get tested to see if they carry the gene for the trait.


1.If each parent has one copy of the recessive gene, what are the chances that their children could inherit two copies and have sickle cell disease?


2.If one parent has sickle cell disease and the other parent is not a carrier, then what are the chances that their children would have the disease?



How would I construct a punnet chart for both of these? Be detailed I wanna know HOW you got your answers. Thanks!

I am normally a very laid back and easy going person. Since the new year I have been working out 3 or 4 times a week. I have noticed that I have been more aggressive and quick to anger since I have been working out. I thought that exercise helps reduce stress levels, but I seem to be getting angrier. Has anyone else had an experience like this, or is there an explanation?

I have had a very very very light period for over a month now. Never heavy enough to wear a tampon, some days so light that I don't need a pad. Color- pinkish some days and just a brown discharge others. Any opinions???
