I discovered a purple bubble-like think on one of my vagina walls. It doesn't hurt at all, not when I touch it or anything. It's purple and large. I don't know what it could be. It looks like a bubble but is not, obviousley, and like I said it doesn't hurt at all.

I just found out my wife cheated on me a few weeks ago and I'm afraid my 4 month old could get something if she got an STD from the Guy. Should I be worried?

Marijuana has never given anyone cancer of any kind. If you don't believe me do the proper research. I had a man come to my school today and lecture us on Marijuana and cigarettes.. he claims that cigarettes have 3 times as much THC in them then marijuana and when i corrected him by saying that "cigarettes contain absolutely no THC" I got In school suspension for 5 days. Marijuana is not addictive and the only real health problem it causes is lowered sperm count.. and i believe that is only the stems in the plant.

Does the human papillomavirus go away on its own, or does it stay in your body forever?

I don't want to get too personal, but my brother invited me to his campus last weekend, we met some girls, had a few drinks, and I woke up without pants inside a KFC dumpster next to a complete stranger who mumbled something like, "There's one with meat on it".

I've been coughing ever since.

I got a stress test done about a year ago because I was having problems running. When I was younger I was diagnosed with sports induced asthma and put on an inhaler. When I asked my new doctor to write a prescription for an inhaler he hooked me up to an EKG, and a daily heart monitor for 1 week. When I did my stress test my heart rate was over 200 and I was walking uphill. I was fine, no pain. When I run I get a sharp pain along with a lot of pressure at my sternum, I cough a lot and I have a burning sensation while breathing. I need to breathe through my mouth because I become short of breath. This is the kicker, this happens only after about 2 minutes of jogging at a 9minute mi pace. Now as of now I am not really in shape per se I mean i'm a tiny thing but I haven't worked out in about 3 months. But when I did my stress test I was training for a .5 marathon I was runnin 5 mi a day. What is wrong with me? Anyone have any answers?

Antibiotics are anti-bacterial, not anti-viral and doctors know that full well so why do they keep giving people antibiotics for no reason when they know that they will do more harm than good? Haven't they pledged to do "no harm"?

Someone I know has a sore in their mouth. I was wondering since it's painful does this mean it couldn't be cancer??? This person does not want to get a biopsy due to psychological problems, so please don't suggest it. If cancer is a silent killer, that would mean that if this person bit down on the inside of their mouth and it's taking a long time to heal (3 months) and it hurts, that would most likely mean that it's not cancer because cancer doesn't hurt, right???

Has any-one had the radio-iodine treatment for high thyroid problems and how has it affected your day to day? "living if any"

Hi-
I've recently been feeling very, very tired. I'm often hungry, a few pounds heavier and feeling down. I know that this could be caused by a thyroid problem, but I was checked for it 2 years ago, could it have cropped up since then?
I also recently stopped taaking the mood stabilizer Lamictal, but that should not have this effect.
Any experiences? Thanks!

I'm taking an esthetics class at Georgia Career Institute. We do treatments on clients that come here. I help them find better ways to treat their skin. I heard that the pH balance of Dove soap is awful. Clients usually ask if it's ok to use Dove on their skin, because they have heard that it causes problems with kidneys and also causes blood clots. I didnt know what to suggest for them...???
