Diseases & Conditions - 9 September 2006

I'm 19 almost 20 and i had a this problem since i was about 12 or 13, I begin to see like little white spots aroundthe shaft and along the sides of my penis, sometimes they become small little white bumps but just sometimes when I first saw them i figure they were like pimples, a few years later when I discovered what STDs were I became too scared to talk to my parents about it or go to a doctor, now recently I noticed a large bump on the side of my penis,, i saw it when i pulld up the hair, and i figured it was a pimple so i squeezed it and a bit of puss came out , like just a white dot just today I squeezed it again and alot more puss came out and it was bleeding so I put perodize on it, but the lump is still there, can anyone give me their insight?. I'm still a virgin, btw

We scrub and put astringent on it but it still comes back. She is not a dirty child. So it is not due to uncleanliness.

I have been having fairly severe stomach pains and nausea. Additionally, there is a little area of swelling....basically a "pouch" right above my navel (right where my stomach is, I guess.) Any idea what this could be until I can get it checked out? None of the medical websites seem to address all the symptoms I'm having (especially the swelling.)

His understanding is that if he dont take plavix for the rest of his life, that the stent(s) will fill up. The Drs also said that the arteries are now ok, and his veins are what is still wrong with him, but they indicate that nothing can be done, even tho its a vascular problem in his lower legs. No Dr has ever done an ultra-sound of his lower legs, only the top half at which time they found the trouble with the right renal artery and left femoral artery and rushed him to the hospital. I have tried checking online for info and what I am finding indicated plavix for the heart and also veins in the legs, to keep clots from forming. He cant afford plavix only making 960 a month from SS. I cannot believe nothing can be done for his lower legs, especially when no tests have been taken, we are getting a second opinion. I am going in thurs AM for removal of lung cancer of left upper lobe, will sure rest easier knowing its not hopeless for him. Thank you all so much. Marti

My husband and I are having our first baby in March. I'm about 12 weeks pregnant and recently found out that my husband's biological mother has neurofibromytosis that runs through her family. Her mother had it and two of her siblings have it. My husband, his brother and sister are all healthy.

I read about the disease, but am wondering what the odds are that our baby will have it, and am also wondering if my doctor would want to do an amnio or CVS test...

I'm so nervous and scared... I pray that our baby is healthy, as it took a long time and lots of fertility treatments to bring him/her here.

Thanks for any info or feedback that you may have.

Here in the UK, there has been no evidence to suggest that pancreas transplants are going to be as commenplace as say, heart, lung, transplants have become. On the face of it, I would of thought it would be no more complicated of a procedure than other vital organ transplants. What's the main reason for this?

We have tried chemo, but the liver and kidneys shut down, so we were forced to stop. We are now at a hospital in Mexico that encourages a strict alkalaine diet to help combat the growth of cancer. We are set to return home in 3 weeks.
