I have a chalazion on the top lid of both eyes and every eye doctor i've asked has said to simply put a hot compress on it. But I've done it, and instead of shrinking, it gets bigger! is this supposed to happen?? Is my only other option draining it/getting surgery to remove it?

anyone whose had any sort of chalazion in their eye and has had this type of experience who could offer advice would be greatly appreciated.

My grandmother died just a few days ago in palliative care. It was so sad because she passed away just after me and my dad said good bye and said we promised to visit her again tomorrow. We just walked out of the hospital when we got a phone call from grandpa that grandma was gone...grandpa sat beside her for the whole time.
Did she choose to die at that point because she was glad to see us for the last time? Or was it only a coincidence. I keep thinking it was the moment she chose to leave because she was happy to see us. I had the impression that she was holding onto life until the end. She had cancer in the liver for 15 years.

went to ER almost 3 weeks ago for sudden sharp pain in lower left chest. EKG was fine, monitor was fine sent home have been to primary, gastro and see cardio doc tom.
The ache has been pretty constant since then with occassional little pains in different areas of the chest but mostly left side to middle both above breast and under as low as bottom of ribcage. when I have a little sharp pain it hurst more if I move or take deep breath. Entire chest feels a bit tight but not really any shortness of breath or coughing or wheezing.

Aside from the pain it makes me nervous that with some of the pains I sort of get an overall little wave of lightheadedness. this is only for a fraction of a second.

Plenty more symptoms available if anyone is interested. I do have gi symptoms and also asthma. If I swallow a gulp of a drink, chest sort of hurts in center as it goes down. I know it could be tons of things but just wondered if a cardiac prob would have such constant ache
freakin out a bit here

The girl I am dating told me she has HPV and it was found in a PAP Smear when she was 16. She told me it was not sexually transmitted because she had only had sex with one guy at the time and had used protection. I don't believe her. Is this possible?

Hi
we have spent 2 years going to doctors and seeing a GI
specialist.
They refuse to test her for anything, saying it is too
upsetting for her.
Pediatrician gives merilax wich makes it runny but she still
wont go unless we give a suppository or make her push.
she cries for about 1 hour on the potty.
Still only goes about weekly.
Doctors are not helping saying it is stool holding.
I can not believe this because we see her push with nothing coming out.
when she doesnt go for a while she sometimes throws up.
We have asked about stenosis,gluten and thryroid
and begged for tests everywhere.
Why is no one concerned about my child?
Please I dont need to be told to go to a doctor again.
Does, anyone know what these symptoms could be.

doctor just called me today and told me that my pap smear was abnormal and positive for the hpv virus. i told my boyfriend who just kept saying "if i gave it to you, i'm soooo sorry". has anyone had it and it go away? i was reading online and it said the body usually fights it off on its own, but what should i do?
can it be abnormal with no infection?
i'm really scared and don't know what to do.

the doc told me not to drink 3 days before my blood test. Really, would 1-2 beers matter? It's not like having 3 martinis the night before.

If someone has full blown aids, and they have sex with someone and "pass" it to them is it automatically full blown aids as well or does it always start off as HIV?

Also, say if someone was diagnosed at 20 with hiv and they started eating healthy, exercising and taking all their medications, what is the average number of years hiv patients survive?
