I know this is a gross question but I was just curious. I once heard that the healthy color of urine is clear, because that means you have been drinking a lot of water, whereas if its real yellow then you've been drinking too much soda. Is that even true?

My daughter went to the doctors as she wasn't very well, and she was told her IBM score says she's obese..
She's 17 years old
10 stone 5 lbs
Perfect fit in size 14 clothes
5'4
and a 34 D chest.
Is there no such thing as healthy these days?
And what do you all think? Does she need to lose weight in your opinion.

I've had acid reflux/heartburn before, but not like I have it now. My friend told me the spicy seasoning in the food is probably the reason why I have heartburn. I still have lots of food leftover from Thanksgiving. Should I throw it away?

i am on a very strict diet of 1200 calories a day

i looked online at the nutrition for the charbroiled shrimp salad and i found that some sites say 180 calories and 4 grams of fat .. while others say 230 calories and 6 grams of fat .. do some sites say 180 because they are not including the tortilla strips ??

Vasle vagel reaction? vassle-vulgar????
I know it has a name and idk how to spell it to find help for it.
Here is what happens:
Generaly I am relaxed/laying down, then I try to get up quckly. My head hurts really bad and then everyting keeps getting dark. Normally this darkness is dark brown or black, and it comes in from the sides so that all i can see is in the middle of my vision.
Then I feel like I am going to faint. When I sit down or lay down it goes away quickly, so I can deal with it normally.

my problem today is that I feel like that all of the time and I have a very weird headache. What should I do? what is happening?

HELP???

I am writing a paper and want to know what the public thinks. Could educating people about HIV/AIDS make a difference in the amount of people infected per year? And how many of you if educated about this disease would be more willing to get involved and donate time and money to help spreading education and finding a cure?

Hi, my son is 17 and needs a physical exam done. Does anyone here know of any good doctors in the Baltimore or surrounding areas? I moved here from York PA and was hoping to find one.

Its hard to find a QUALITY doctor these days. I want to find a doctor that will actually make him undress for the exam and do a FULL physical including a genital/testicular exam.

This post is not meant to be funny, but Ive seen time and time again these doctors who do a literal 5 min physical exam. WTH is that about??

I just feel like we are shortchanging our families for quality care. I know generations back doctors didnt hesitate to do throughrough exams especially on kids.

Id appreciate any help on this. I am either looking for a Peds doctor or Family medicine.

Im 16, 17 soon, my left ball is bigger, and hangs lower than the right. I realise that this isnt a problem. I havent noticed my penis/balls growing. I dont have a lump on my balls. I have genital warts which have spread around my hands/stomach. I have learnt that these will go with time. However, I have pubes, and in the last 6 months have had armpit hair growing. Am I a late starter? Should i wait?
