I can't breathe out of my left nostril and it has been this way for year. I forget about it, because my right nostril works so well, but I do remember about it time and again and worry. Is this normal, sinuses, even though it is all year round? Is there an easy fix for this?

I am looking to hear from the men here. Ladies can comment but leave the drama out please. What I want to know is this, for men is porn something separate from sex? Do men crave both sex and porn equally but differently or does the desire to view porn mean something lacking in the sexual sector? Thanks for all opinions!

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a month, and sex is probably going to happen in the near future. I want him to get tested before we have sex. It's not that I don't trust him but in his last relationship the girl cheated on him 3 times. I was just tested 3 months ago and I am clean. How do I talk to him about getting tested without offending him or upsetting him?

I sure can not find a lot of research on this, has any good research been done?
My district seems to think that the overalys are the greatest things...I wonder about the placebo effect and at the very least the overlays may help but do nothing to address a probable vision problem.
Would like to hear from some folks out there and what you think.
Thanks.
Also any good studies that you can link me to would be nice.

OK, we'll I've already seen my family doctor about my hypothyroidism...but he didn't really provide me with answers or treatment (he told me to "see how it goes from here"). We'll I want to see another doctor, but I'm scared to...I think he's going to think I'm weird and wasting his time and say something like "if you have already seen another doctor why are you here?"...and that brings me to the other problems...I have anxiety and OCD...but I'm too scared to tell him...I don't know why...I'm scared he's going to think I just want attention and think there is nothing wrong. What do you think?....I'm supposed to go to the doctor in like half an hour.

My hubby has really bad allergic reactions to cats. For the most part we are able to avoid contact with kitties, however, most of our friends own them unfortunately. We'd like to be able to go to our friend's houses more, but when we break down and do this, it ends up getting my husband really sick. He tries taking things like Alavert and Benedryll, but they leaved him doped up and don't seem to help all that much ultimately.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to control/beat the allergy symptoms? (We would prefer a natural or holisitc method as opposed to Rx meds). We hate to continue turning invitations down to people's houses, but at the same time, I can't stand to see my hubby suffer. Help!

I just changed my birth control from Sprintec to Yaz. I am concerned that because of the different amount of 'non-active' pills, that it will cause my cycle to be delayed, or skipped. Is this possible? Are there other side effects from changing from one BC to another?

i have been a habitual cracker of joints since i was very young. i remember learning to crack my fingers before learning to tie my shoes. i can crack 4 joints in my fingers, the palms of my hands, my wrists, elbows, my neck, my entire spine, the area where your leg meets your pelvic joint, knees, ankles, the tops and sides of my feet, and 3 joints in my toes. the problem is i HAVE to crack all these joints at least once an hour or i will physically get sick to my stomach. in order to fall asleep at night i have to crack all the joints in my fingers at least 100 times. could this possibly be a sign that i have some form of OCD?

Gentlemen or Mom's who've been there..
At what age does a boy begin to ejaculate with masturbation? I really do not want my son to have the 'scare' some people do the first time ejaculate is present. I would like to inform him of the possibility when he gets near that age. (If her were a girl I would speak about a period around 8 because that would give her a year to get used to the idea & starting @ 9 is common in my family - but I have no experience with this). I do not know why I'm asking here before speaking to my husband because it's probably genetic too. But I'd like to hear from others who've been there.

I had just missed their call and when I called back the office was closed and I got the answering service. According to posted office hours which coincide with the hours stated on their message, they should still be open for another hour and a half.
I like my doctor very much but should I complain about staff not being avaiable when they say they will be?
I know I'm upset because I'm worried about my results (I'm 8 weeks pregnant) and I know that it's Friday afternoon and they were probably anxious to leave for the weekend...
Am I overreacting? Should I just let it go?

When I get my period it only lasts 2-3 days. I've talked to some of my friends and theirs last about 4-7 days. My first day is light-medium flow, the next day, somewhat light and the third day theres like nothing but the brown discharge. Is this normal to only have a period 2-3 days? I mean I'm not complaining cuz its so nice, but I'm just curious.
