so im a 18 year old girl. and im single. but i recently got this huge crush on one of my coworkers. im really shy. at my job we're allowed to date coworkers. i feel guilty cause hes a coworker and hes 22. hes single though. i just spend a lot of time there and i dont like teenage guys my own age for some reason. hes really nice, smiles a lot, funny, charming, cute, and awesome. i dont know what to do though. i have been getting to know and like him more and more because hes kind and repspectful. i wanna get to know him more. i dont know if he likes me. i see him looking/staring at me a lot of times. sometimes he looks away right away as if i didnt see him staring. does he dislike me when he does that? i hope not. im not mean to him i dont bother him. im nice to him. last week we looked at eachother at the exact time it was weird. and sometimes theres this smile he does like hes trying to get me to smile or tell me something. is it ok for me to flirt with him and like him? what to do?

I very rarely get headaches. For the past month, I've been getting them atleast 3 to 4 times a week.
My period doesn't come for another 2 weeks and I'm bleeding. I feel terrible. I haven't been able to do anything today because I've been so weak.

I got tested during a physical last month. I have normal blood sugar levels, according to the doctor, and am nowhere near being diabetic yet (as my diabetic-for-20+-years-father assured me).

The thing is, I realize that even though I'm doing everything I can to avoid getting the dreaded disease (I'm not obese, monitor my diet and get regular excersize), diabetes still very much runs in my family. Right off the bat I can name about seven (immediate and distant) relatives who have it.

If there is much of a chance I could still get it, I'd like to hold it off as long as I can (having a chronic health problem is no good when you're in college, and I do intend to enlist in the military after I graduate, but that's beyond the point).

How much of a risk do I still have?

I just moved to Chicago after working on a telemetry floor in MA. I am now looking for a new job. I am interested in both the OR and the NICU. I have been interviewed for both positions, but I can't decide which area I'd be happier in. Any suggestions?

I got a full physical-- results of fasting blood test --Triglycerides 299 &Thyroid "barely" abnormal Hyper. I am not losing weight, I am overweight, I'm 5'2" 140 lb. My dad has to test his blood sugar several times a day (does not yet take medication) and my paternal grandmother has diabetes, but my blood sugar came back 87. I have had several situations where I get clammy, shaky so much so I can hardly walk, anxious & have nausea, after I get some food it takes about a 1/2 hr. to feel normal again. I also get real tired in the afternoon, plus I have hemorhoid problems which might have to be removed surgically (yes, I am a mess). I will be following up with my Doc but does anyone out there have these types of problems & how have you handled them? Thanks for all constructive advice--please don't tell me to get off my fat butt and get some exercise--I do swim, do water aerobics and get on my treadmill. Thank you in advance to all who reply.

Hello.. I'm a 21 yr old female. 5'9 180 lbs. 2 months ago I was having severe heartburn that i had never had before. I visited the doctor and he asked if there was any blood in my stool, I said no, and he prescribed me some acid reducer stuff. Anyway that very night i used the restroom and there was indeed blood.. about 1/2 a cup or more of it in the toilet and on the paper, bright red. I even felt dizzy after. I went to the ER and they examined me, said there was no hemmorhoids or anything.. they kept me over night but only did an xray, blood test, urine sample. The couldnt conclude what it was just said maybe an infection and sent me home. Its been about a month now and I just had some weird anal leakage.. of oil.. i keep having to run to the bathroom and its just yellow/orangey drops of oil in the toilet as if someone poured some italian dressing in it. I havent eaten anything that I dont normally eat, and Ive never had this happen before.. could the two incidences be related?

This is going to sound gross, but please be mature about this. These past two days my muscles are sore from exercising (because the previous two days I began working out at the gym). Needless to say, I've been drinking more water, less soda, in fact i haven't drank anything else besides water these past four or so days.

What's scaring me is not that I'm sore, but my urine has been dark, like a brownish color when I went to the bathroom earlier this morning today. When I got home from going out and went again, my urine was still dark. Its scaring the living crap out of me. My friend told me my body was detoxing, but I'm scared it could be a health problem, especially since now I'm more thirsty and less hungry and I'm drinking a LOT more water.

Please help?

I have a friend that was just diagnosed with this but the doctors here haven't told him exactly what it is so he is going to another doctor in another country of second opinion. Does anyone know what this disease is, what causes it, and if there is any cure?

Ok in this section I see more and more questions from men requesting ways to "make it bigger" and I am wondering whats with the obsession?

The average man is about 6" and the average woman has a vaginal canal that is between 3.5-5 inches. This being said, as the vagina is a muscle that can contract and expand, why do men seem to think they need 11" penis' to please a woman?

I do believe it to be porn, though often those guys look like shi* AND have ugly thin, or small equipment lol... What do you think it is? Is it porn in addition to the "notion" that a REAL man has a large penis? I am curious because of the questions, and my husband is my first and only so I dont know about all the other sizes and all that.

BUT I have heard horror stories from my friends who have experienced the 11" and the 5" and have said often that if a guy doesnt know what he is doing it doesnt matter what his size is. Ladies do you agree? Guys what is your take?

I developed a burning sensation when urinating about 2 weeks after unprotected sex. I also developed a medium sized pimple like bump on the lower under side of the shaft of my penis around the same time. I didn't go to the doctor and it's been about 3 months since the symptoms first appeared.

The burning sensation went away after about a month, but the bump is still there, only it has gotten slightly smaller. It kind of looks like it's under the skin. There also seems to be a hole at the top of it which looks like a large pore. I thought that it was an ingrown hair because I get those alot, but those usually only take about 2 months to release the almost fully grown hair. I thought that it was syphlis at first but according to all the medical websites the sore is supposed to heal on it's own. It doesn't hurt. Could it be a genital wart? I think it might be but why is it under the skin and why does it have the small hole at the top? Anyone ever have something like this?

Last October I was diagnosed with HPV (Human Papola Virus) and they did a biopsy and it showed I had pre-cancerous cells. Well, 2 weeks after that I found out I was pregnant! Now, 11 months later I now have an 8 week old son.
I just got my pap smear done last week (my 6 week post pardum check up after having the baby) and everything looks great! No HPV! and No pre-cancerous cells!!
Can HPV really go away like that??????
