well i am a generally trim person (male age 17)and my abs arent bad but right above my hips and outside of my inner ab range (where you would notice the six pack that i dont completely have) i see these bulges come out over my hips and it is impossible for me to have a flat stomach and look really tirm. I think this is probably because my pelvis is tilled forward but this useless tissue that is not fat comes out of nowhere.

I had a c-section 2 years ago and for a week and a half now i have had burning on my ceserian line and on my left side where my ovary is. My ovary is also just aching on its own i havnt ever felt this before its keeping me up at night. What in the world could this be from? Could this be a infection or what?

Also, it's not just reserved to jewelry, if the metal zipper on a shirt has no inside lining I also get a rash from it. I can only wear gold, and some silver, which is annoying because I don't want to spend a fortune on jewelry, and if I could wear metal, I would. Anyway, I was wondering why metal causes my skin to react this way. Is there a way I could still wear metal without getting a rash? Also, is there any metalic-looking jewelry that would not cause this reaction?

I am already 16 years old and am pretty much flat chested. I got my period 11 months ago. I am a healthy weight (I am not too skinny but no where near fat).

My Mum wears a C cup and is on the light side of her healthy weight range. My Mum is 5ft2 and I have grown in the last year and am now 5ft3. I have had a little bit of acne occasionally but very little (luckily!). Why am I so flat chested? I realise that I am a bit of a late developer considering my Mum had her period when she was like 13, and wore a C cup when she was 15 years old I think (old photos of her) and had already grown to 5ft2 tall where she still stands today.

It's not fair! I am too old to be wearing kids tops and most womens tops just accentuate the lack of nothing on my chest!!! What do I do and what could be causing this problem? Will I ever grow? My Dad's sisters have medium to large breasts.

I have been everywhere and talked to everyone to help with this problem. I have changed my shoes, slowed my stride, rested for 4 months, ran on softer ground, got good arch supports, tried taping, I even saw a sports medicine doctor who did x-rays and then advised me to see a Physical Therapist. I saw the PT religiously for about 6-8 weeks, which made the pain go away, but then I started running again. So, then I saw someone that makes orthopedics, she studied my stride and said that my arch is very flexible without very much muscle. She showed me some arch exercises which haven’t seem to help much. Currently, I can’t run 2 min/walk 1 minute for 30 minutes at 5.0 mph without searing pain. Ice and ibuprofen seems to help, but doesn’t cure what is causing this ongoing problem. I’m starting to wonder if I have a problem that requires more invasive measures. Can anyone help?

Is it really a good idea to "flush out" my system? Does the digestive tract REALLY carry 3-5 pounds of waste in it that needs to be cleaned out? How can I cleanse my colon and all that? Is it really healthy?

I've had this problem for at least 15 years -- waking up at night trying to swallow accumulated postnasal drip mucus, drinking tons of water, then waking hours later with a screaming full bladder. In winter it's worse because of the dry air, so I have a terrible night if I don't have a humidifier. Is this normal?? Does anyone else have this nighttime mucus swallowing thing?? Am I going to be chained to a humidifier for the rest of my sleeping life?

At 1000-1500 calories a day.

I weigh at least 320, im 15, about 5'7.

As far as what i am eating, today i had a pack of crackers for lunch which was 220 calories.

then counted the calories on a sandwich that i made and it was 245, so i can do that and keep it under 1000. But from what ive read it's bad for my metabolism, so i should try to get something in for breakfast.

Also my mom suggested taking vitamins.

But i have it all planned out for myself, all i really need to know is how much weight i should lose a month.

My step-son is only 4 years old, but he has terrible body odor if we don't put deodorant on him. He doesn't have the typical little kid dirty smell, it's major body odor, like a teenager that hasn't started wearing deodorant yet. Could this be a thyroid problem? He also is very hyperactive and won't eat if we don't make him. Has anyone else heard about the b.o problem in a kid before?

I'm 18 and i have a septate hymen, but recently it broke when i was taking a tampon out ( talk about painful =/) but it only broke at one end so now it just hangs there and it freaks me out!
I've heard about people snipping their own so i wasn't sure if i should try to snip it on my own or go to a doctor.

the problem is that i'm too embarrassed to ask my regular doctor and there's no way i want to go to a gynecologist yet( they scare me).

What should i do?

I have asked my wife to walk on my back to maggase and "crack" it, but she thinks she is too heavy. Is it dangerous for a heavier woman to do this? What actual injuries, if any, could occur? What is the maximum "safe" weight of a woman to walk on the back of a 6', 180lb man?
