Can heat/ hot weather cause bloody noses? I was wondering because when I lived up north I never got bloody noses, then I moved south (Florida) and suddenly got spontaneous bloody noses often-including the summer. I can't really think of a difference between the locations besides weather that would cause this. However, when I read over causes of bloody noses just to see, I don't see hot weather there, just other weather causes like dryness in the winter.
Also, while on the matter, what causes some nose bleeds to bleed more heavily than others or to not stop when you pinch your nose?

I have been on a diet for a week now. I have been doing low carb, but still eating fruit. I have cut out all the fast food and sodas. I am also exercising. Think this will work? Any more ideas? Thanks.

I was just wondering, Does herpes 1 feel the same as herpes 2? I have had one on my lip before and it hurt so bad i hated to even move it.
Story behinde it. I had sex with my boyfriend and we always use condoms now and after we had sex for an hour i started to hurt and get sore and then i got swollen. i first thought maybe because of the condoms. The lubricated ones always irritate me inside so i wanted to use the non-lubricated ones but i think they both bother me inside*but doesnt mean i am going to stop using them* as well. So a few hours later i thought that maybe he had tore part of it. So being the weekend i called my doctor and had an appointment today. Which she looked at it and she said it looked like it had been strecth bad but it didnt rip. she said my skin was really irritated and that some skin looked raw like skin was coming off. She tested me for herpes. I mean that freaked me out. I mean it doesnt hurt that bad if it was like it was on my lip. help please.thanks.

i'm trying to make a d-1 football team and im finding it incredibly difficult since i weigh only 170 lbs as a safety. i've been working out and i am getting stronger, but slowly, and im not getting heavier. i've taken a lot of stuff ranging from creatine to protein to weight gainer. none of it has helped me gain weight. is there some kinda supplement that slows metabolism?

In April I had a pap smear done. I guess everything came back normal cause the doctor had said if anything bad they would call. (but tomorrow I will call to make sure) They reason why I had went to get a pap smear because my family doctor assumed that I had a yeast infection so she put me on Canesten or whatever...it did take the burning and the itching away but couple weeks later the itching came back but it wasnt as bad. But I scratched it so hard that I ruined the skin thats around the inner labia. Well I developed small bumps after I did this intense scratching and hoped that it would go away. The skin is still cracked and sometimes it looks like the skin is trying to come off. Bumps developed where I screacted the most!! When i got the pap smear the doctor put me on a three day treatment cause she said it just sounds like a yeast infection. The iching went away completly but the bumps are still there...and sometimes at night I get this little burning and iching feeling where I scractch again. But what I am asking is do you think that this sounds like a yeast infection or hpv?
Ps. I notice a bump under the clitoris but the hood is covering it

a D&C,laparoscopy and removal of a vaginal legion(not sure what it was yet, waiting for pathology results to come back)?It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since my surgeries and I've been bleeding brown since the day after.I know bleeding is normal,esp. after all the procedures I had done,but why would it be brown for so long?And there's been kind of an odor.Not foul,but it has a stronger than normal scent.Doesn't really smell like just "old blood" either.No green,itching,or any sign of infection so I'm not sure if it's just because I've been having discharge for so long?It is possible to have THAT much old blood?Every once in a while I will see pink/red when I wipe but I'm sure that's normal.My body readjusted pretty well in general after what it went through,only bled 1 1/2 days and some severe cramps.I haven't had any sexual activity or used any tampons,like ordered,so there's no possible way of STDs or anything like that.I'm sure this is probably normal,but can anyone just reassure me?

So my mom has been in and out of a loop for about 2 years now. We believe it's depression, but she won't go to a doctor or a therapist no matter how much we support her. She drinks a lot and sits up in her room. She often comes out just to vent and yell at my father for events that happened years ago that really just make no sense. Then she can do a complete 180 in seconds and start crying and talking about why she is so sad.

I bieleve she knows she is depressed but refuses to get help. Our family has tried, and her friends have tried as well. We don't know if something is chemically or mentally wrong with her. Whenever we try to help she pushes us away and then says that we don't help her. Sometimes she gets into these moods and we don't believe she has been drinking.

She isn't tearing my family apart, but it's getting to the point where I just want to rip out all my hair, because she says she wants help... and then turns around and says she can do it on her own.

HELP!!

I got sober over a year ago, and with sobriety came 60 extra pounds that I want to lose. I tried running but it was to hard on my knees. I am going to try it again maybe just 3 times a week instead of everyday. I am on a fixed income so gym memberships or fancy weight loss programs are not the answer for me.I know diet is important I love eating healthy. I am looking for any tips, advice or encouraging stories. I know it will take time. If anyone has anything to that might help me please share with me. Thanks

I was diagnosed with Chlamydia and took the prescribed 7 day dose of doxy. My boyfriend was given 7 days worth of 500mg levaquin. If he had started it on a Tue and we had intercourse on Sat. how likely is it that I will be reinfected since he had not finished his prescribed dose? I mean he will have taken only 5 of the 7 days of Levaquin.

Ok, so I've put on a little more weight than I'd like to have right now. I'm a pretty strong guy willing to change my diet and put in some gym time, but I'm not quite sure what excercises I should be starting with. How many reps? what machines? Are there any particular routines or patterns I should be looking into?

I'M 15 , 16 in july :-) and im 135. I'M not really fat but My belly is starting to look kinda dull and has a little bulge. I was wondering what would be the best exercises to do every week. I'M going to england, spain, scottland, and france in august and I dont want to look bad on the beach. I dont want like super muscles just not that flabby and a little toned.

I'M willing to eat less to help too. But I was wondering about the exercises. I think I have two 5 pound dumbells somewhere but I could get different ones too.

Any ideas?
