My vigina is red, very itchy and tingles with burning sensation. Could it be an infection? This is the 5th time i have had this type of problem within the last few months. I am not on birthcontrol or any other medication. I dont know what it could be. My doctor keeps telling me its yeast infection. but i doubt it. I'm married....so i dont sleep around. i dont know what it is and what causes it.

I'm trying to eat a cleaner diet. Meaning less process foods and zero fatty meats, and more whole foods and fish.

I feel that my body craves fatty foods and sugar highs. What's a good way of dealing with the side effects of the transition?

I feel my energy is up, but I often feel bored or that I'm missing out since I'm not eating fatty meats and cheeses and sweets anymore (then when I'm eating unhealthy I get depressed, it's like I can't win against myself).

I often thinking about junk and MISS it. Even though I feel 100% better. It's weird.

I haven't had a cold or been swimming or anything like that, so I'm unsure as to why It's suddenly happened.

A patient complains of pain starting in the jaw and radiating down the neck. Upon questioning, he states that when he is under stress he grinds his teeth.

March this year I had the stomach flu , since then my stomach hasnt been the same. I'm confirmed to NOT have the following :

Any thryoid problem (Hypo, Hyper, Hyperpara)
Pancreatitis (The head of my pancreas is large)
Gallstones
Cancer
Celiac Disease

I've had over 4 thyroid tests (bloodwork for levels 3 times) including scan and uptake, normal.
CT scan of pancreas along with testing of Lipase, normal.
Ultrasound of abdomen, only finding was a large pancreas, no gallstones.

I have absolutely NO idea whats wrong with me NONE at all and its so frustrating.
I refuse to believe its all in my head because it is not.
The day after I had the stomach flu (which was incredibly violent) my stomach ( in between and below breastbones ) felt so nauseous in such an odd way.
A month later I got acid reflux that hit me after drinking Gatorade and that started me on Protonix. Ive had a history of LPR but never literal reflux I could feel. I was COMPLETELY fine before I got that stomach flu.

When I sleep, my eyes are sometimes open a slit or more. My friends have told me this a few times. At sleepovers, they would try and talk to me after I was already asleep because they saw my eyes were open and they thought I was still awake. I was fast asleep and don't remember this at all. (not even seeing a blurry image) Another friend saw this on a long bus trip and thought I had had a seizure! The doctor has even given me medicine that seals my eyes shut at night. I've also tried wearing a sleep mask, but it sometimes feels like my eyes are "soffucating." It causes me to be a very light sleeper and I was just wondering if anyone has a similar idiosyncracy and could tell me Why this happens and what they do to get a good night's sleep.

I work in the Engineering field, and I can't think of one woman that I've worked with that is obese. While in the Nursing field, it seems that about half of them are obese. Is there a reason for this, or is it just my imagination.

don't we need to know what is CAUSING all of these problems?not just research treatments or cures. years ago you never heard of these things,all these ailments that plague us ... in the old days,not everyone suffered from heartburn etc - is it the genetically altered foods we consume? what is going on,i would like your opinion on this and any ideas you may have on the subject ......

Im confused on cleaning your vagina.
Okay so this is my confusion.
They say it's bad to clean inside your vagina with soap or douche.
So does this means u cant clean ur labias is it bad to clean ur lips with soap? and what about when you clean your behind area wouldnt the soap at least eventually slip a bit around the interior area of the vagina.
My mom never told me anything about this.
and all this time i've been cleaning myself down there with soap like just the whole complete area the labias and vulva.
If i've been doing this this whole time that means i probably have an infection by now since im 16? i get daily vaginal discharge. and if so what can i buy so i can be safe and have good proper hygiene thank uu

What do our eyes tell us. What can I diagnose from my eyes about my health?
I heard that pupils don't "dilate" whatever that means if you're on drugs. What does that mean?
And what do the red lines you occasionally get on your eyes mean?

Help....

im 17 yrs old and i got the coil fitted only 5 days ago... i got it because me and my partners condom split and i took the morning after pill too late so i got the coil as an emergency....

ive decided im going to keep it and use it as protection for the next 5 years.
But the problem is im prone to infections....

Ive had herpes and bacterial viagnosis and thrush before, when i got the coil 5 days ago i havnt stopped bleeding... as if i was on a normal period... so god knows what my period is going to be like...

ive just realised i have got thrush now.. will this lead to an infection in my womb? will i get infertile from it? ive been using tampons cause of the bleeding, should i not? do you suggest i get the coil removed? ive been on tablets to stop infections... will this stop an infection for sure?

has anyone got any personla experiences or tips to give to me?
im rlly nervous... help!!!!!!!

I started taking the depo shot and it seriously is drying me up...I have not had a period since using the shot and Im on my 4th (stupid me for getting it again with all the problems I have had down there). I do spot every once in awhile and its basically the end of the 3 months I have a little spotting.
Im not able to clean out myself. Im so dry in there. I have to use KY inserts for myself and my partner uses KY as well, caue I am unable to make my own fluids anymore with this shot. therefore I am unable to clean myself out
when we have sex everytime there is blood, new blood, dried old blood, old clotty blood, its disgusting. sex life is really not there anymore cause of this problem.
everyone says douching is bad but what else can I do myself? I need to clean out the blood that continues to stay up in there becaue my body is unable to clean it out itself like it should.

My boyfriend is in his early 30's. When we have sex he only last for maybe a minute, sometimes more, but usually less. Sometimes he can't even get an erection. Can someone give me some advice on why this is happening. Our sex life really sucks.
