I do all of the usual things, drink water, pee after sex, take cranberry pills, drink cranberry juice etc. Are there any other ways to prevent UTIs? These don't seem to be working completely. Any suggestions?

I can't afford a gym membership right now so I need something I can do at home.
I am in pretty good shape but I can't seem to make an impact on my lower abs.
I'm not looking for a 6-pack here, just to be better toned and crunches/sit-ups/etc. aren't doing it anymore.

I went to a waterpark two days ago and i was dumb enough not to apply a secure amount of sunblock..so obviously i got burnt, but it wasn't that bad, in fact it was pretty much only my shoulders. However, yesterday i could not stop itching! Mainly on my upper back and stomach, sometimes my chest too (strange because i didn't burn in any of those areas..). It felt horrible and i didn't know what to do. I suspected my skin was just overly dry and so i applied some moisturizing lotion. It didn't help at all, and i don't know what to do. To numb the itching i use ice ( in a pack, not directly) i don't know if thats harmful or not, but it temporarily relieves the itching. Also, i bought some Aveeno itch relieving powder to bathe with, and thats barely helped, if at all...what should i do? And how long will i itch like this?

I have prostate cancer and my treatment is: Hormone Therapy and External Beam Radiation. Is my blood OK to use for what ever purposes blood banks use it?

I can't help any other way at the moment and wish to continue helping others. Prior to my cancer I would do volunteer work. Now I am too tired to do the physical work I used to do. Even driving my car has been too much.

My 9 yr old broke his tibia and had the cast removed last wk, after being on for 6 wks. Now he's in a boot for 3 more wks, still no weight bearing. So here's my question: I've noticed his "bad" ankle (the one that was in the cast) is bigger than his good one. It's not the whole leg, just the ankle area. And it's not something you would necessarily notice unless he's holding up both feet side by side. Why is this? I was expecting the broken one to be smaller, if anything, than the good one.

Just FYI: he's a very cautious kid, I know he hasnt beared any weight on it. And he's not complaining of any pain, just the stiffness you would expect after being in a cast for a while.

Thanks a bunch for any thoughts/facts/info!

I got my period for the first time last August. Its almost been a year and I've had it only 3 times since then. I have never had sex before in my life, I'm only 15. Is this weird or it is normal?

Ever since my son was born last year and the loss of one ovary and stelization of the other I have noticed that the underarm odor and perspiration has worsened. Nothing I use works very well and oddly - one arm is worse than the other. In fact the left under arm is ok but the right is "sweatier" and the odor starts almost immediately after applying deodorant. Am I crazy or does the delivery and sterilization have anything to do with this?

I know a dude like that. You'll think he's fat until he takes his shirt off to go swimming. & you'll see that he's built. He has sexy abs.

My leg cramps mostly cleared up and my dad thought I might have been dehydrated drinking alot of water helped alot and most of the cramps are gone but a little over a day later I still have a dull cramp in my thigh.

Is this just a residual cramp or should I just cave and see my doctor?

None of my symptoms fit a blood clot and I'm not in pain but the leg still feels kinda weird
