I'm going to start chemotherapy on Thursday. I understand that I will lose all my hair, and will probably shave my head. I'm just wondering, whether to do it before the first session, or if I can wait a little longer.

I've tested a few different bottled waters... poland spring, deer park, and generic "spring" waters. I used an aquarium ph test kit. The "spring" water comes up very low on the ph scale somewhere between 4 and 6. My tap water comes up either basic or slightly alkaline. Since I started having heartburn and reflux, I figured it might be from the acidity of all the bottled I was drinking so I switched back to tap. I know that a slightly alkaline system is more desirable and most disease and cancers can't exist in an alkaline environment.

Does anyone know if acidic drinking water alters your body chemistry and if it is worse for you to drink alkaline tap or acidic bottled water.

Okay so basically i'm getting my braces off on friday but i have this one concern. I have to wear elastics and i've noticed that if i don't wear them my teeth shift back. So once i get my braces off.. won't the same thing happen? my teeth will just shift, even with a retainer?

Why is it that male circumcision is so much more accepted than female? I'm not saying that female circ is ok by any means, I just think that male circ is just as bad. I know that the intent with FGM is to keep women under control, but a little known fact is that male circumcision was first thought up as a way to stop boys from masturbating. Either way, the intent doesn't change the fact that the real effects are the same. The foreskin is very sensitive, and losing it decreases sexual pleasure significantly. Plus, without foreskin, the glans of the penis is exposed, and develops to be thicker, like a callus, further decreasing pleasure. There are no proven medical reasons for it, in fact the foreskin helps keep dirt and bacteria out. It's kind of like eyelids - you wouldn't cut off your eyelids as an attempt to keep your eyes cleaner, would you? The other thing people often bring up is the fact that male circ is a religious ceremony. Female circ sometimes is too!

After years of considering plastic surgery, I've decided that I'm 100% sure I want to go through with it. I found a trusted surgeon who is very well known but I'm yet to see him. Can someone please tell me how the process works? Do I call to set up a consultation? Are the consultations free? And what happens after that? How long do I have to wait to actually do the sugery? I've done alot of research on the actual surgeries but I would like to know details about the consultation, and what the next step is.
Thanks!!

I usually go to bed at around 10pm and sleep right through to 7am. I usually sleep well, only waking to go to the toilet, although I do have lots of dreams. The problem is that I always feel shattered by early evening and can't wait to go to bed. I then fall asleep immediately as soon as I get to bed (+ I often fall asleep on the sofa before that).

I'm only 31 and I feel like I should have more energy! I don't work stupid hours, I'm not stressed and I get lots of exercise.

Is this normal?

I can touch around 9-5 right now, but my goal is to be touching around 10 feet by August. If I jump on a mini-trampoline for 20 minutes a day, will it help out my vertical jump?

I have two bumps toward my anal area. I have had unprotected sex with my husband --we've been married for six months-- maybe four times. Now a couple of days after this I began to feel the difference. And my vagina is leaking like a white/cream liquid. I've been wearing a pad to help it not get on my underclothing; it just comes on the pad a little like a couple of smears.. What could be wrong.. I also have alil bump by my lip, but i have haad a bumpb like this in the past, but not the vaginal bump.. Oh I was a virgin before 6months ago as well so keep that in mind.

I've asked my gyne and also my derma to prescribe a birth control pill for me. But it's not for birth control purposes. I've read from somewhere that it helps to control acne breakouts. I've had problems with acne, especially during my pre menstrual cycle. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
