I found one inside my vagina once. Eventually it popped and went away.
Then I found one a second time on the outside which also went away. Just recently I have found another one. I am concerned because I have never had sex before and I doubt it was passed down from my parents. Also, I am scared about talking about it to my parents. It might lead them to think I had sex before. What should I do?

I have been in the dental field for over 10 yrs. and have worked in offices in the past who did allow patients to make payments on their dental work. However, about 50% of the time, they were cheated out of the money they were owed, and eventually stopped allowing payments.
I don't know any other business that allows patients to make payments for services without either getting financed or it being a service that can be "cut off", such as car insurance or water. I am sure there are many dentist who would allow their regular, long time patients to make payments, but they don't know anything about most new patients or patients who they have only seen 2-3 times. I woudn't do work for someone I barely knew, and then let them make payments to me. Why are some patients so shocked and get so mad when their dentist won't let them make payments?

My dad experienced chest pain one day, and the doctor referred him to the hospital a few months ago for a stress test and a heart scan procedure. However, he became worried about the procedures of the test during the heart scan. He claimed to have seen the technician inject some radioactive fluid into his veins via the I.V. After the injection, the doctor put the needle into a champagne-like cup, upside down, and didn't immediately dispose of it properly, into a disposal can for needles. What my dad is worried about are the needles, because he fears that they have the potential to be reused, as what he had seen that day. He seems to be afraid to be affected by HIV, hepatitis, and other illnesses. So what are the chances here of the needles being reused?

Thanks!

For years I've read (and personally known) about benefits of chamomile. A year ago I read that it's being known to destroy turmors. It is also so potent that women throughout the ages have taken it to make their periods come down.

Similar to grapefruit it also interferes with certain drugs (medicines), including CANCER medicines, such as Etoposide, Paclitaxel. Vinblastine, and Vincristine. It should not be taken with blood-thinning medications, for it does precisely the same effect as these drugs.

Being this herb so potent, with such proven health benefits, why isn't science paying closer attention to it?

i wanted to try it because its hard to wash them properly under the tap, you cant get into the little hole in the centre.
The dishwasher would get them cleaner and more hygienically clean, wouldn't they?

Last year I (after regular methods, anti biotics, rinses etc) had sinus surgery for chronic sinus pain, pain is located under my eyes and cheeks mostly. I find after all this effort and time I still get this pain, they wanted to treat me for migrains but the pain is in my face not my head and the side effects were worse than what I suffer with now! Has anyone ever had, or heard of someone with sinus pain that responded to nothing?? I'm ready to go to a neurologist but would rather here what regular people have done before more doctors advise me! Thanks

I don't cook, and I don't eat right, because the span of my kitchen skills is "add water and stir". But I want to start by making quick and easy meals so that I can continue to improve my health and my eating habits. Any online resources that offer simple menus of foods for each meal (Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks) to make that are pretty common for even the most inexperienced cook?

I always make healthy choices when they are available, but I want to take more control over my diet, instead of hoping that there is a healthy selection to choose from when I go somewhere. Besides, eating out is expensive, and you can't guarantee that foods are as healthy as advertised.
