Health - 24 September 2007

When I put my first tampon in I could feel it's presence, like I could feel it was there but it wasn't uncomfortable. Then when I took it out, it was filled with blood (even the string) was covered with blood. When I took it out, it hurt. The next day I put in a new tampon and it made me feel sort of sick, but I think it was the cramps. I felt like my stomach wasn't settled and I had a headache. Is this normal? Right now I feel much better. (Particulary because my mom is making my favorite meal.) Do I have TSS?

Also what is an STD???? People talk about it but what is it?

Thank you

If you have a Testicle removed because of cancer or damage, is it worth having it replaced with an artificial one. Or is one ball still asthectically pleasing. current rate is £1800 to have one implanted.

there are bloood at my 6 years old girl stool. Not inside the stool, but mainly after the whole process is nearly done, there's always at least 1 drop of blood will drop. I only realised it last 3 days ago. I dont know when it started. only recently, her stool start getting harder. So I took a tissue and dapped on her anus and I was shocked to see blood stain there. Initially i thought it could be a slight tear becuase of her hard stool. But today her stool is much softer but still there's bloody .. at least 3 drop and some stains. i get her to go on her knees to check. Of course she cried. I then realised that it actually from inside the anus not tear around the anus.

I am so worried. Anybody pls.... any advice?
I will be going to see doctor tomorrow. But im scared that the doctor will force open her anus.... oh dear!

Hey there, I'm having a Sigmoidoscopy next week along with Hemorrhoid Ligation (banding). Has anyone had these two proceedures done before? If so, does it take very long and is it painful? Any information would be appreciated.

Thx

My bf and I had sex lastnight...and this morning I woke up not feeling very well...(not morning sickness, I know, too soon)
So I had to use the bathroom, twice and I noticed that I am bleeding. It's bright pink but it's just spotty. Not heavy or anything.
Also, I just ended my period this weekend.
Could it just be reminence of my period? Or could it be implantation bleeding after just one night?

A female relative in her mid 60s, whom I have always liked, is developing a strange psychological state that has the people who care about her deeply concerned. She has started cutting people off, cutting them out of her life. She is threatening to divorce her husband of many years and to pack and move to another state. What this strikes me as, is delayed, very delayed "middle aged crazy". But I could suspect brain tumor or evolving schizophrenia or any of a number of other things from the choices she has been making recently, and her behavior. She tends to be paranoid and is certain those who don't agree, and who can't actively "side" with her against her "enemies" mean her harm.

She will never see a professional unless her family commits her, or unless she goes to the family doctor and he can sense something amiss, or unless she goes to the hospital for a mental collapse or heart attack or something of that sort.

Has anyone faced anything like this in their family?

Hi ! I'm a 40 yr-old male - when I was in my early 20's I suffered a bit with cramp attacks in my calves during the night - if anyone has ever experienced this they will know it is very painful - the muscles in your calf screw up into a tight ball and hurt like hell.

I have suddenly started having these attacks once again - sometimes I wak up in bed and get the odd "twinge" in my leg, and I daren't go back to sleep for fear of moving in my sleep and setting if off, thus having to endure more pain.

Sounds crazy but it's bloody awful - so..............before I see my Doctor, does anyone know of any good remedies for cramp....maybe some herbal stuff or something you can buy over the counter without a prescription ?

Thanks !

No matter how much or how little slepp I get Im so drained and tired! Im on Effexor which I thought would help with fatigue. About a month ago I went off Ritalin after being on it for 4 months. When I was on the Ritalin that was the only time that I felt I had energy or was able to stay awake. What can I do to battle this fatigue?

My girlfriend gets extraordinarily bad cycles, and for a week every month it’s hell on earth. Seems like I get blamed for every little thing, the faucet dripping, the alarm clock being too loud, not having enough mustard in the house, etc… it’s a seriously emotional roller coaster for her and it is weighing down the relationship for me. What do I do? How does a man responsibly approach this subject given the circumstances?

And thanks, this is a serious question…

I've been to the urologist and had all the tests. Doctor says that there is no damage or disease to explain my irritated bladder. I can barely go two hours without getting bladder discomfort. I produce on average 100-125 cc's of urine. I can produce 350cc's first thing in the morning. I did try Detrol LA , Ditropan and one other med and got no relief. My keigels are good and have no leakage. Any ideas?

Every day I hear different things about how to stay healthy.
Whether to use butter or oil to cook with. Drinking hot water or cold water. When's the best time to drink water. Don't drink after meals dont drink before meals. blah. blah. blah

???? I can't process it!

it's the same with beauty care. like looking after your skin and hair and everything. Theres just way too much information to listen and process.

oh and preventing diseases. way to much information on what foods prevent disease and encourage it!!!!

Does anyone else feel like this!!!!???? I'm just so confused and in the end I just end up doing it all wrong and ignoring all the advice!

Is there a book or website which just tells you straight facts of what you have to do to be healthy and to look after your hair/skin etc!!!

A friend of mine has told me a secret, and I'm not sure what to think of it. I know he's a good guy. I mean, he's my best friend, I wouldn't normally think anything bad of him, but I don't know how to deal with this.

He told me he has a certain sexual orientation, an orientation people don't know it exists. He says he can fall in love with people that have not necessarily reached the age of consent yet. In fact, he says, age isn't really important at all in his emotional world. He says he is not a pedophile, as I said, he's a good guy and wouldn't hurt anybody, but he admitted there is a sexual component in his attraction to these people.

I wish he never told me this, but now I know this information, I feel obligated to do something. Should I try to get him arrested? Should I call a mental hospital? Should I do nothing, and trust him he won't molest any children? I don't know what to do. I simply don't know.

For almost my entire life, water has been the nastier to me than cough syrup. Don't know why, but the more i get older, it gets a tad bit better. Well now, I have long term gastritis, and my skin stays super dry...any ways of getting into the habit of drinking more water?

that started a week ago in my home. I have checked for any changes to my home and can't find anything. I don't experience this when I am out of my home. It's not my furnace or hot water heater. Could it be an allergy? Could it be mold? My husaband and son don't seem to smell it. Any ideas?
