I've heard that it's natural for men to have a strip of hair from their belly button, but is it normal for women to have it?

I was looking for some great workouts and i decided to do jump-roping, but i heard some rumours that it's bad for your brain because of jumping up and down too much, should i still consider jump-roping or look for another work out?

I'm 17 .. i had a stroke while i was 14... and most people say that most forms of birth control i can't take because of the heart and stroke risks. Has anyone went ahead and took the pills after a stroke.. or maybe knows of something i can use besides condoms. it would be a big help..thanks

I think I'm underweight. I am 13 (going on 14), 5' 0", and weigh 87-90 pounds. If I am underweight, what would be a good and healthy way to gain weight? (besides junk food) And what's the average weight for someone my age?

i have ocd. its not that bad at all compared to other people...i mean if you've seen that episode of true life about ocd i'm am nothing like that but i can see that its there. for example, when i go out to eat, everything on the table has to be in a row....not in one necessarily but you know gridded almost? and i hate it when food touches...and i can't brush my teeth without having my hands being wet up to my wrists...its been getting worse though...like things i have to touch before i go one...or when i write i have to have every question take up the same amount of lines....

i mean all of this isn't getting in my way of everything...not slowing me down..i can leave somethings behind...well, sometimes...but they do bug me afterward if i haven't done something...i think its getting worse because of stress though...

do you think i should wait and see what happens or get help?

I am eighteen years old and my body has been hurting for many months, probibly over a year. I have been growing and suffering from stress, but the pain has increased over the past few months. The pain also effects my ancles, causing my feet to hurt every time I get up to walk. I have talked to my mom about this and we have disgussed seeing a doctor. Is this pain simply stress and growing pains or something bigger?

I got off my braces and my teeth were straight. I wore my retainers like I was supposed to for about six months. Then I stopped wearing them, and its been a few months and I feel as if my front teeth are starting to JUT OUT a little bit. I decided to put my retainers on once again, and am wondering if it is already too late. The retainers are really tight, and when I put it on, a little bit chipped off of the top one, but barely. Will my teeth go back to the way they were when I got my braces off again? Is a little chip in the retainer a big deal?

After many years playing basketball my knees and my ankles are horrible.

I've broken/sprained my ankles numerous times and my knees are just as painful...I've been to doctors and have been put on pain medication.

Now, I'm a tad bit overweight (but not horribly overweight)...I can play many sports without getting winded or tired... but the result is always aching ankles and knees. This keeps me from being as active as I once was.

What exercises can I do (that are specifically geared towards losing fat) that won't wreak havoc on my ankles or knees?

For the last year I have been very depressed and hardly left the house. When I do go out I'm very unfit. I even get out of breath walking round the block.

I really need help to regain my fitness. But it is difficult because I find it really difficult to go outside because I get nervous.

What excercise can I do. I'm not even 30. I can't be so unfit.

About 2 years ago I dated a guy who entered me through my anus and it hurt so much, but he was extremely selfish, so he never cared if I pleaded him to stop. Since that relationship I haven't dated any guys at all, and have no desire to. I'm not even attracted to guys. That was a mistake I made, but anyway, back to the subject. Since than I'd notice little bits of bright red blood on my tissue paper. I always thought my anus was trying to heal after the abusive relationship. I went to a doctor and she just said I have a cut there. That was 6 months ago. Recently I've started to notice more blood. And in fact, there is blood now in the toilet, on the poop and a lot more on the tissue papers. I donno what to do. The anus is itching like crazy, and I feel it'll be another waste of money to go see a doctor. What should I do?

My dentist tells me that I need to wear it or else my teeth will shift. Well what about after three years when I don't have to wear it? Is it just for them to make an extra buck or two?
