Hi. I'm an early teen, so I'll still gain some more weight. But do you think I'm underweight? I look healthy and everything. Im not bony or like a stick. Is it my bones that causes me to weight this little or my fat or what? I'm just wondering. Thanks!

In the U.K., the NHS (National Health Services) has denied Hifu (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to victims of prostate cancer.

The U-turn comes despite the research published last month in the European Journal of Urology which found that _eight_ out of 10 men were healthy five years after being treated with Hifu.

The groundbreaking ultrasound therapy has been shown to kill _nine_ out of 10 prostate tumours, and five years after treatment, 80 per cent of patients show no sign of the cancer recurring.

(inspired by the same question asked elsewhere)

I have been on the pill for about 5 months now. I just got off my regularly scheduled period about 2 weeks ago and yesterday had some spotting in the AM with heavy flow for about an hour in the afternoon and that was it. For the last month and a half I feel like Im exhausted all the time and I feel like im getting sick atleast once a week. This time, I have been sick for about a week and a half (fever and cold symptoms). I went to the doc and they checked for anemia and those sorts of things all was negative. Everyone keeps suggesting pregnancy.....could that be possible? I have had no missed period at all...and I took a pregnancy last night and it was negative. Atlease 10 people have asked if I was and now Im nervous

I think I get enough sleep and I eat about six times a day, but still seem to get irritable and cranky at night time. I work about 10 hours/day and work out, plus I am studying for my engineering Master's, do I just have too much going on, or should I try meditation or something to that extent? Any advice would be appreciated.

I recently had surgery and the wound is starting to heal. The problem is that when I cover the wound with a gauze pad (as instructed), it either catches on the stitches (painful) or gets clotted with blood and, when I remove it, it pulls off the scab that otherwise is protecting the healing incision. My question is that is it okay (no detrimental effects) to place a thin coat of vaseline on the gauze before applying it, or to use pre-made petroleum jelly-coated gauze? Or is this inadvisable and why? Thanks for anyone who can help!!!! :-)

Over the past weekend and early in the week, I suffered from food poisoning. As a result, I now have what seems to be pretty bad hemorrhoids/anal fissures. I haven't looked but it seems that the entire rim of my anus is swollen. Pain is not as much of an issue, as that I can deal with, but it is the bleeding. For the past 2-3 days, it has been bleeding consistently. Not a lot on a regular basis, just more as if it is completely raw, like a bad scrape. I've tried sitz baths, neosporin, ice packs, and resting on my stomach as treatment.

The pain has dramatically declined, so I have a feeling it is working somewhat, but the bleeding has not. I have yet to try Tucks pads as I have seen recommended, are they really the best way to help stop the bleeding and are there other home remedies to stop it?

when its winter time and I'm outside my hands get so cold that they hurt. I was helping my husband clean snow off the cars & had to go inside cause my hands hurt so bad!! When I got in and tried to warm them up a bit they hurt so bad I wanted to cry!! Also sometimes when I'm outside and put 2 layers of gloves on they still get so cold I need to go inside cause they hurt. Can anyone explain why this happens & should I see a doctor or am I worrying too much?? Thanks in advance

And I called in to work. They said I need a doctors note and I am off tomorrow so it gives me time to get rest cause I am soooooo tired feeling. I go back Sunday evening. The problem I don't have a doctor and I HATE hospitals, I am scared of them for reasons I don't want to even think about. I won't go unless I am literally dying . I don't know what to do. NC law says you can be out of work up to 3 days without a note but I work in a restaurant and they will fire anyone, they don't care plus I am new.

What should I do. I thought about copying one I have on my computer and making a fake one but I don't want to get caught, that will be worse than not having one. I can't go to a regular doctor I am FLAT broke. What should I do?
