The other day, i started going to the bathroom more frequently, i'm not sure if its a UTI or if i'm pregnant. my boyfriend and i have been trying to conceive, and yes, it does burn somewhat when i go to the bathroom, and i'm starting to drink cranberry juice. so if its a UTI how long will i have to drink cranberry juice inorder for my UTI to go away.? because i dont want to have to go to the doctor anytime soon;;

After colon cancer patients go through surgery,
the doctor makes an alternate exit (instead of the anus, since it is cut off) on the side of the body, for excretion.

What do you call the NOZZLE/CAP for the extra hole, in medical terms?

I am going in for an angiogram Wednesday. Are there effective chemical treatments available, or are the only alternatives available; an angioplasty with a stent, or a bypass surgury. If you know of a website that discusses this, please share it with me.

I have tried every single acne remedy in the last 6-7 years, including all available antibiotics on the market, homeopathy, diet and lifestyle changes, detoxification, facepacks, herbal remedies, you name it. Recently I decided to return to antibiotics. I'm using erythromycin pills and clindamycin gel. It's worked very well for the acne on my forehead.. but absolutely nothing for the acne on my chin. The chin acne is the worst for me because they are white or red bumps that either release pus and vanish or leave scars and red marks.. plus they are very painful and look ogrish. I'm close to breaking point because there seems to be no more advice or guidance out there as I seem to have tried everything with the exception of expensive lasers and peels. I've heard that chin acne has much to do with hormones. I guess my hormones still rage as I'm a 20 year old virgin so could that have something to do with it? If anyone has any pointers, suggestions or guidance I'd greatly appreciate it

hmm.. if a man has hiv, of course the virus would be transmitted from his semen to a woman right? but if a woman has hiv, how she transmit the virus to an un-infected man since i thought the man does not "receive" anything from the woman?

if the woman's vaginal fluid has the virus, is it mean if your penis touch the fluid then you would be infected? (even though if you don't ejaculate inside her vagina). What if a man's finger touch the fluid, then his finger touch his own penis, will the man be infected too?

So my doctor called me today and said the blood test I took a week ago came up positive. He said I have a minor staph infection, he didn't even want me to schedule an appointment or take any antibiotics, I guess because it's so minor. My question is, are there any good home remedies to get it out of my system so it doesn't strengthen?

I ask because I recently visited the local mall and a few days earlier, they had a fire in which a giant Christmas tree and plastic decorations burned. The mall was back open, but a whole section was cordoned off, many stores suffered water damage, which left carpets smelling sour, and the odor from the fire was still apparent. The next day after I was there, I developed a sore throat, then a headache and fever. I have tried everything to get rid of the sore throat; gargling, lozenges, tea with lemon and honey. It's been a whole week and it is better but now my eyes are very red with mucous and I am coughing and very hoarse. I went to the doctor, but he didn't think the exposure had anything to do with it; he just prescribed antiobiotics for the throat and eye drops. Your opinions, or professional diagnosis, is greatly appreciated.

my 18 yr. old sis is diabetic and she is not on any medication (expect for insulin injections). For this whole past year she has only been sleeping. she sleeps SO MUCH during the day and sleeps the whole night. every time she gets home from work or anything, she just plops in bed. Is this some kind of symptom of something or is she just super lazy? Is this normal? Should I be worried?
