Latley my vaginal area has been having a fishy odor, a little itchy, not too much, the discharge is white/clear, never green or yellow, and i dont have a lot of discharge, only before I start my period, which is normal, I am sexually active but I never had unprotected sex, and Ive had this thing before kinda, what could it be?

and it doesnt burn or anything when I urinate, I dont have pain in the abdominal area, and it doesnt hurt when I have sex, only if I am dry, but that's typical anyways. Its just more of the smell and itch (more towards the inside, not the outside), and I also shave

and I dont think its a yeast infection cause Ive had one before and its nothing like this

I've heard how people have had seizures but aren't necessarily epileptic. Some is from drugs/medications, & I also hear how stress can trigger it off, too. What are other reasons?

I have a respiratory infection and the Dr. prescribed Phenergan w/ Codeine for my cough. I usually get this prescribed and it has a sweet fruity taste but I went to a pharmacy closer to home this time and this one tastes very bitter. Why would it taste so different? Does it differ from store to store or did they screw up the prescription?

I was wondering if a dermatologist can take one look at your skin and determine the extent of sun damages, Can they also take one look at moles and skin lesion to see if there is any possibility of skin cancer. Is it stupid to not trust your dermatologist?

I play varsity basketball and i have been getting extreme shortness of breath, dizziness, rapid heart beat, shaking and trembling, blurred vision, intense chest tightness (feels like somebody is stepping on my chest). I have collapsed twice and fainted once during these episodes. I have already had an ekg, echo, and have been to a cardiologist. Results came back to be normal. I have always had shortness of breath during sports but i do not have asthma. I am only 15 years old and today at practice i had another episode. My doctor told me i have something called vasovagel syncope. I agree with her i might but ive been researching for a few months now and it seems my symptoms are muchh more extreme then vasovagel. I have no idea what this is but its getting brutal. When i walk up a flight of stairs i become out of breath and dizzy and i am not out of shape to the extent or at all. After the results came back i thought i was good to go..guess not..PLEASE leave your opinions on what this is

I've been told mulitple things. 1: Don't pop them, they will scar your face or wherever they are. 2: Only pop them when they are ready and thoroughly clean them out, but after this do not continue to pick at them because, THEN you will come out with scars. What is true and what should i do for easy zit removal and quick skin recovery?

Today a friend and i were have a discussion and he felt he needed to get something off his chest... he says he thinks he has testicular cancer. He says there is a "something" on the side of his left nut... Not wanting to mis inform him, I come to you. So is it something everyone has? I know i do, but then again, maybe i have cancer too... who knows. If i don't get any answers here i'm off to the doctor's office. Anyway if anyone wants to help me out, with some info about what all is in the sack that would be a great help. Thanks

A friend of mine, I recently discovered, frequently eats grass, pencil shavings, erasers, and paper. He says that he eats grass because he likes the taste, but he eats paper when he is upset. I have seen him eat grass quite often, as well as a soft plastic knife (albeit very slowly, and he only managed the tip), a wedge-cap eraser, and almost half of a paper tablecloth. It sounds comical, but since seeing him eat the tablecloth I've been sort of worried. Does he have pica? Are these habits a risk to his health? Is there some sort of psychological reason for his compulsions to eat non-food substances? Any sort of input would be greatly appreciated.

think of this ... even typing this- tears are flowing. I was wondering if anyone knows of any home remedies or anything ... anything.at all that could cure or even slow down this disease. I really don't know what I would do without her ; as I'm sure everyone feels about their mom. I'm only 22 ... I don't think I can handle this; emotionally I'm a wreck. Probably more than she.

I get cold VERY easily comparing w/other people. I live in the hills which gets pretty chilly but I wear like 3 upper body layers, sweatpants, socks &slippers. I need the heat at minimum 69 degrees at night &feel most comfy when I have my heat pad on to fall sleep. During the day my parents want the heat off so I need my portable heater on next to me.
I do cardio & resistance 1-4 hours a week &was a world class athlete my whole life, laying off about 7 years ago from hardcore training. I am 23 yr old female, 5'6'' 142 lbs- definitely NOT skinny &i think my circulation is fair. I drink plenty of water, dont smoke &i think i got my thyroid tested a few yrs back- no deficiencies anywhere. My mom was diagnosed recently w/both hyperthyroidism and hypothryoidism...i hope this crap isnt hereditary, but again i havent been told in all my yrs of seeing doctors that I have a single thing to worry about. I eat extremely well 95% of the time.

Can anyone figure this out?
Thanks so much in advance

a friend's mom has colon cancer, came back after a surgery in hich they removed part of the intestines (surgery was a year and half ago) and she has been going through therapies (chemo/radiation) for the past 6 months now.
the cancer has attacked the lymphnodes and they see spots on liver and chest area. I have done a search on life expectancy but it is not clear to me how long she could survive in her state.
Does anyone who has experienced in friends or relatives the same scenario, know what we should expect? How long could she live?
