Should I talk with this girls mother?

2009-06-03T03:21:00.001-07:00

A friend of my daughter's has been over at our house three times in the
last 2 weeks for dinner. She eats a lot of food and then she says she
will be back in a minute and she goes outside and vomits all of that
food up. She is not a small girl and she told me she has a stomach
problem, and that her Mom knows she does this and has been seen by a
doctor. She says her doctor put her on Oxycontin, for this problem. She
is 17 years old and looks healthy, I am just worried about her. Should
I ask her Mom about this or just mind my own business?
ABSOLUTELY talk to this girl's mother. I am the mother of three
teenaged girls, and I know I would want to be told if one of my girls
was engaged in this kind of behavior.

The girl's story sounds kind of fishy (I'm pretty sure they don't put
you on a powerfully addictive narcotic painkiller for stomach
problems!) but to give her the benefit of the doubt, you could say to
the mom, "You know, Jane [or whatever her name is] spends a lot of time
at our house with my daughter, and she told me about her stomach
problem and her prescription for oxycontin. I'm sure that's really
difficult for her and for you, too - I get so concerned when she throws
up all the time. I'd like to help, if I could. Maybe if you told me
more about her stomach problem, like what the doctor says she should do
or not do, or eat or not eat, I could prepare meals and make sure we
have snacks on hand that are going to be OK for her? Or, if you just
want someone to listen, I am willing to do that, too...."

That way, you are not saying - "Look, I think your daughter is bulemic
and possibly has a problem with painkillers," but you are letting her
know the situation so she can follow up on it however she sees fit, and
offering support, too.

Equally important, though, is talking to your daughter. She needs to
know that her friend has a problem, and that how that friend is dealing
with it is not OK. Help your daughter to see that although she can (and
should) continue to befriend this other girl and support her as much as
she can, she can not "fix" her. Only the friend can fix herself!

Hope this helps....
I took your advice and talked with her Mom, as I was afraid, she did
not know any of this and she has been getting the drugs at school. Her
Mom will get her professional help! Thank you, Betsy
Dear Miss,
You are still an adult and thus owe it to a child to
try to help. Oxycontin is NOT what they give you for stomach problems.
Oxycontin is morphine for pain and likely to make a person sick to
thier stomach. That is why they often give you phenagren (spelling?) to
calm your stomach when you take the Oxy. Could be an eating
disorder-thats my bet. I would approach her mother with concern and in
a helpful manner. She may look healthy now, but that wont last if she
has an eating disorder. Her behavior and age would certainly point this
direction.
She 'seems' to have a valid explaination, and there's no physical
reason to assume anything from what you're saying. However, if you want
to talk to her mother- do it. It'll cause no trouble if she's telling
the truth, and if she's not, you could be bringing an important problem
to attention.
oh my goodness yes oxycotin was out lawed years ago it killed several
people !!! one of the side affects is it makes u skinny go to the mom
the girl is a bilimic and needs to see a pycologist this problem is
mostly mental look at her nails if thery're yellowish its for sure!! do
it nw omg and get rid of that oxycotin shes lucky shes not already dead
make 100% sure she get proffesinal help!!!
I would not think they would put a 17 year old on Oxycontin for a
stomach issue unless she has cancer. That is a seriously addictive drug
! I would say speak to her mother. At the very least tell her to stop
throwing up on your tulips and use the bathroom.
Have to agree with poopy. Oxycontin is not , I repeat, NOT, used to
treat eating disorders. Talk to the girl's mother. Unfortunately, if
her mother is aware of the situation, she may be in denial.This child
needs help.
I would be concerned for the girl. When she's puking at your house on a
regular basis, right after eating your food, it does make it your
business. It wouldn't hurt to call and have a quick chat with her mom.

My mum took away my pill 3 days before my 7 day break, i recently had sex what should i do ?

2009-06-03T03:18:00.001-07:00

ok so i was on my pill( combined pill microgynon 30) which i got from
the doctor without permission from my mum..But she found it and took it
off me binning it three days from when i was meant to have my seven day
break.Me and my boyfriend recently had sex without a condom..I dont
know when im supposed to come on my period or what i should do.. Help ?
** ( i mean we had sex a day before she took it off me )

This is not an easy one to answer. The phrase
'recently' had sex without a condom doesn't say whether you're within
the time period for emergency contraception (and there are more options
than the pill, an emergency IUD can be fitted up to 5 days after sex
and is actually more effective than the morning after pill). You should
get withdrawal bleeding from your pill withing 7 days of stopping it,
it's not a 'period' but your body's response to falling hormone levels.
If you had unprotected sex within the seven pill free days, regardless
of what point in the pack they started, and then carried on, or are
able to carry on taking your pill, then you should be fine. if that
seven days isn't up go back to your doctor or GUM clinic, get a repeat
prescription and carry on, taking a pregnancy test 28 days after the
unprotected event to make sure you're not pregnant. If you haven't
followed these steps then its more uncertain. There are so many
variables in the efficacy of the combined pill, ranging from your
bodies efficiency in metabolising and excreting the hormones, to your
gastrointestinal floras ability to recycle the oestrogens. some women
ovulate soon after stopping the pill, for some it takes longer for
their body to resume it's normal hormonal regulation.

On another note, even if you are still a minor, which i guess you are,
if your doctor has deemed you competent to request a course of
treatment your mother can't just override that and prevent you having
treatment, and your doctor isn't obliged to get any kind of permission
from her. That said. if you're having sex at a young age I as a parent
would be concerned if it was one of my own children and while I
understand that I couldn't stop them i'd much rather sit down and talk
things through with them. The fact you didn't and your mother caught
you out is probably the reason that she was so pissed. And there is no
way in hell you should be having sex without condoms at your age, there
is no such thing as a 'safe' partner, een if you were both virgins
and/or tested, I know from bitter experience that people screw around
when they're younger and the amount of STIs in the young population is
vast. Unprotected sex should be something you have with someone in a
long term relationship who you trust absolutely implicitly.

I'm a nurse and a parent.
Try to remember when your last period was and that'll give you an idea
as to when you can expect your next one. In the future, you might want
to insist that your boyfriend use condoms or maybe go to a planned
parenthood clinic and get the depo shot - that way, your mother won't
be able to find your birth control and confiscate it.
well firstly you shouldn't have had sex without a condom when you knew
your mom took away your pill. Secondly, tell your mom, you are sexually
active and you need the pill, or just use condoms. If you've been on
the pill awhile I wouldn't worry, it's still prolly in your body

you might get pregnant so get a pregnancy test if you dont get your period within a week /10 days of your stopping of the pills.
sex with no protection may lead to pregnancy - see your doctor
get the morning after pill fast and tell your mom thanks for possibly ruining your life

Girls do you get this or have this problem

2009-06-03T03:12:00.001-07:00

Do you have really stinky or sweaty feet and dont care to admit it? Or
are you one of those girls that try and act like your perfect?
My Feet Stink Aswell But Maybe Its Just The Shoes You Wear Or You Could Wash Them More!!

Hope This Helped
They aren't stinky and sweaty, but my toes seem to have circulatory
issues so i keep getting chillblains in the winter. Its always a gamble
to figure out if i need to be wearing my oh-so-comfy summer cotton
sports socks, or the ichy wooly ones. Oh, and it makes my toe nails and
toe tips kind of ugly, so i wear nail polish in bright colours on the
nails.
My feet stink at the end of the day. I shower every night and in the
morning put on fresh socks (I wear socks to bed) because I don't want
to risk that my feet will start stinking if I was sweating in bed. As
long as I make sure I change socks and shower nightly, the smell isn't
bad. But, if I'm running around in the heat all day -- I definitely hop
in the shower when I get home!
The soles of my feet, and palms of my hands sweat. Always. I can't help
it. My feet only stink though if I wear one pair of sneakers everywhere
I go for a long period of time. But, don't worry, sweaty feet is
normal! =P
mine do but only in my black flats. i rarely wear shoes so mine don't
that much. my sisters used to really bad and the doctor said that it
was from her not drying her feet well enough after a shower. she
started drying better and it went away.
honestly, my feet are the only thing on me that BARLEY ever sweat
unless im playing soccer, but i put babypowder on them every morning as
welll

Is my clitoris damaged?

2009-06-03T03:05:00.001-07:00

I was playing paintball with my stupid boyfriend and his friends last
weekend. He ended up shooting me point blank in the crotch. The
paintball nailed me right in the clitoris and I dropped to the ground.
My stupid boyfriend thought it was funny and laughed, but that is a
different matter. Anyway, two days later my clitoris and vulva are
still badly swollen and I have problems walking. It hurts bad. What
should I do? Is my clitoris damaged?
sounds like shock. swelling is a defense mechanism so that could be a
good thing that you are experiencing swelling. your body is trying ot
heal itself. it can also be a bad thing because it can also be a sign
of irritation and infection. go to the doctor if the problem persists
over 5 days.
I would think that it would be sore just from bruising. I mean, a
paintball can do major damage...my cousin just got a 3rd degree burn
from one. I would say put some ice on it and try not to do to much
walking if possible. If it is still really bad in a week go to the
doctor and have them check it out and make shur everything is ok.
unless you were laying down with your legs spread, i doubt it hit you
right in the clitoris, since this is covered by your labia. its
probably just bruising of the area. Regardless, see a doctor just in
case.

Do men(or women) like pubic hair on a women?

2009-06-03T02:39:00.001-07:00

I personally do not like hair in my mouth :)

and my bi friend said she doesnt like it either.
yes and no.

some people think its attractive on a person to be all natural, especially whenever it comes to hair.

some don't like it there at all because they think its not clean and
its a one way spell to disaster (they exaggerate a little too much i
think)

i personally think its somewhat attractive, but only if its trimmed and CLEANED!!!!

pubic hair collects the scents that accumulate down there in you
private area, not to mention the germs and chemicals, so if its trimmed
and CLEANED, im okay with it, but shaved is nice to as long as its not
coarse, thick, or prickly... shaved guys or girls need to be smooth,
not prickly.

i hope this helped.
Body hair on a woman does not bother me. I prefer a woman with natural
pubic hair, and even some hair on the legs is perfectly natural. It's
only the Americans who have this hangup about pubic hair.

And men who wax thier body hair are gay.
it is provided some veil naturally

its protin part that grows hairs

so excess protin utilized by body

we are more conscious about others body not much aware about ourselves,

but lot of people answering that self heigine is must

so some time it disrupt and can be remove if not needed

what else ...
Pubic hair is a most feminine part of the body, and it is very nice viewing. Trimmed is very nice.

What should I do if one of my penises is longer than the other?

2009-06-03T02:37:00.001-07:00

My second penis is about 3 inches shorter than my first one. Is this something I should be worried about?
Well, when I have sex, I use three or four of the smaller ones first, and then finish off with the larger ones.
Not to worry. Check them both against your third penis and have the
shortest one amputated, then you will be normal. Have your second pair
of testicles descended yet, or haven't you reached the age of secondary
puberty?No. My fourth breast is much larger than the other three.

The human body isn't symmetrical. One of my testes also hangs about an inch lower than the other.

My doctor said i'm healthy and normal, so I bet you are too.

Don't worry.
that is very normal. in summer u will feel more streched. do not worry.
If still you want to make sure try to find video of Oprah show with Dr
Oz on men health this show was aired about a year ago.

I masturbated a lot yesterday now I have this problem, please help?

2009-06-03T02:34:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I was watching some dirty stuff on tv and I masturbated for a
few hours. I didn't use lube and well now my penis really hurts? It's
red and it feels like I have rug burn on it and it has bled a bit.
There's a bit of scabbing on it too, and it looked like there was blood
in my pee. Is there anything I can do about this? Muslim women really
turn me on... Serious answers only please.
i would say maybe because you dry masturbated but then you said blood
in pee and that does not sound to well i would suggest seeing a doctor
You should see your doctor. You may have irritated it, or you could
have caused some blood vessels to break within the penis. You should go
and get it looked at to see if there are any problems.
if you wacked it too long you may have caused your self a bladder
infection, and next time try some lotion. if it doent start getting
better in a few days then see a doctor.
Call your local newscaster and see if they'll do a feature story on you
and your problem. As a public service so that this won't happen to
someone else.

put some neosporin on it and leave it alone for a few days

been in that boat before

1 hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give it rest.

It'll b fine man. Its just like the hurts on our body. It will recover.

BTW what is lube?
You've gone through the second stage....In a few hours you will go through the last one. YOUR PENIS SHALL FALL OFF

What size condom should i get?

2009-06-03T02:30:00.001-07:00

looking to buy condoms, havnt tried any on. my penis is 17.3 CM and pretty fat. what do you reccomend?
one size does NOT fit all , the normal ones are for around 6", magnum XL, XXL are the bigger ones.
Penis circumference is what you need to know. If you use a condom that is too big, it will slip off, too small, it could break.

TROJAN® Magnum® condoms are 15% larger than standard condoms. TROJAN® Magnum® XL condoms are 30% larger than standard condoms.
I went to buy some the other day They told me it was 10 bucks . so i
gave him the 10 bucks & he said thats 10.80 cents I said whats the
80 cents for . he said tax . I said y dont they stay on by themselves?
None

Pull out or impregnate that *****...

Or even ejaculate in the mans anus

I accomodate of various sexual orientations you see :D
it just depends on how big your dick is.

and it depends on how long your gonna be doing it because it could get filled up pretty fast.
2.54cm=1inch. so your saying your penis is over 8 inches? If so, a huge condom...

Is it ok if he sleeps inside of me?

2009-06-03T02:10:00.001-07:00

My b/f wants to but im scared that something weird may happen. Should I
let him or is this a bad idea. Or im i just being a wimp.sleep while penis is in me...??

does he love your stuff that much that he HAS to get some even when he is sleep???? damn i need a girl like that...

Yes it's fine, but make him be in you from behind
and cuddle up like spoons, do NOT let him lie on top of you or you will
wake up at 3am after having a horrible nightmare that you were being
suffocated and you will have to wake him up so you can get him off of
you. He'll be a dead weight on your ribs and affect your breathing.

.

Men sleep like they are dead after good sex.

no it is not a good idea because he will probably get wood overnight a
few times and have like pre-jac and get you prego, or have a wet dream.
I dont think its weird ....I actually wanted my boyfriend to do that to me but he wouldnt.

I broke up with him.

=/

Try it and if you dont like it...you can just tell him.
ummm...I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but are you asking if he can sleep with his penis inside of you???

if that is the question then....if you want t get prego then yea sure...why not
Unless you can both sleep perfectly still, it will slide out when he is no longer hard.

(Little trick to get him out...cough)

Should i sacrifice my abs?

2009-06-03T02:05:00.001-07:00

in order to get the nutrients for arms n pecs, i can then lose the fat
being an ecto-mesomorph and hoepfully regain the six pack plus the arms
n pecs. I seem to find it hard to gain muscle mass so everything says
to eat more, therfore losing six pack.

Sometimes you have to give up things in life to gain more, lol. I
prefer a guy with a nice six pack over muscular legs and arms, well
arms are nice because then they hold me tight and i like that but yes
go for it I mean you'll get it back babe <3

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
ooooh my precious precious six pack heaven forbid.

someone call the press.
dude i have everything and i didnt have to give up anything....just eat what you want and keep your BMI under 7%
get a life and just train and eat in moderation........u have been looking at too many mens magazines

How can i gain weight?

2009-06-03T02:02:00.000-07:00

and don't tell me to eat! ha ha i do eat i just cant seem to gain
weight. i weigh about 135 pounds and haven't been able to gain weight
no matter how much i eat. i'm pretty active (when there are surfable
waves).i try to keep everything as natural as possible when it comes to
improving my body and do not trust pills, shots or any other chemical.
i want to know, besides steroids, what is the best weight gaining
routine?

You might think you eat enough but do you know the minimum amount of
food you need to eat daily??? Your BMR so to say?? Huh? I bet that you
don't... You need to be eating 500 calories more than your BMR so you
better know your number and hit the gym. You can find how to count your
BMR here:

http://www.36pounds.com/2009/04/22/8-rul...
I was 135 in college, im now 150. I drink protein shakes for lunch, and
also try to eat a little more each day. Make sure you are eating foods
high in calories. It takes 3,000 calories to gain 1lb. So make sure you
add on a few calories to your meals each day. Maybe an extra slice of
bread with peanut butter or something. Try and be creative.
brewing yeast. It has a lot of vitamin B, too. It will make you gain

weight in a week. Either buy at pharmacies, as supplement, or in any

place which specializes in brewing. Three pills a day/three tablespoons a

day - depends on the product, and you are there. Good for bones and

hair as well.
Eat. You may not be eating the right things. You need to eat pasta and
bread. Also you may want to start taking multi-vitamins and also taking
in some protein shakes. Also work out and make sure your calorie intake
is high and clean. The more you eat your metabolism will eventually
slow down.

hey...I really don't think you need any extra supplements or
medications, just to gain weight. Get on a solid high-calorie diet, and
you'll have no problem putting on the weight. I'd suggest checking out
this fitness site that I follow:

Try new meds, or am I afraid it won't work either?

2009-06-03T01:55:00.001-07:00

meds work on trial and error.

I am on a new med for my thyroid, I am keeping my digits crossed that
it will help ... if it doesn't I wish someone would just let me go. I
am tired of fighting I am tired of coping I am tired of crying...
Better get out of here, into the real life and ''work'' there.

Really!

This is the only help. No pills!

The things you can do - those are the greatest! The other things - it's useless to fight with them.

The moment you leave them, they are decrypted :)

Voila! Listen to your feelings - you're afraid, it surely won't work!

Hey there!

I can definitely see your worry over the possibility that your
medication will not work. Anxiety itself bases on the impending doom of
the future. The best thing to do right now is TRY to stay calm. I mean
be proud that you are on the road to getting better. Medication is
about trial and error, good luck! Take care!
My meds sometimes get out of balance, that's why the simple and obvious
path is the one I need. Ayn Rand provides me with just such a "yellow
brick road" to follow.

my startegy when im sick is to down every bottle
of medication i can find but it never works....i just seem to get
sicker....never mind then..

High blood pressure. 145/110. but he refuses to see a doctor n takes all his frustration on me.?

2009-04-27T04:41:00.001-07:00

what should i do? he is always irritated and takes it out on me .he has his own business. he makes furniture and is extremely good at it.the problem is for the past 2 weeks has been edgy all the time and thats taking its toll on me. what am i supposed to do?

That 110 number is horrible. My 2nd number was 90-100 and I went on meds to get it to 70-80. He's a walking heart attack. And if I miss my pills, my mood gets worse, too. Tell him you want him to live to see his grandkids, etc. Some cliche. It should work.

Men can be so stubborn about this!
First off don't nag him about it- it will make it worse. Is there a friend/ minister/ family member you can get to help with this?
You can't force someone to take a pill, but find out why he refused to take it. Is it rumors about side effects of the pill (some do cause impotence) or something else? I have found that making a person understand the side effects of high blood pressure sometimes helps.
I would also approach the life insurance issue - if he dies who will take care of the kids - not trying to scare you.
If all else fails, make a bargain with him: If you try working with a doctor for one month I am willing to do ____ (be reasonable).
If you work and have access to EAP counseling please do that - you would be surprised how much it can help! Other counseling could help you too - sometimes there are sneaky ways to help someone who isn't wanting help now.
Good luck

Hi Cool
There is not much you can do for him but you can make him realise what he is getting him into if he doesn't get his blood pressure checked out.
You could use the blackmail tactics of what might happen to people he will leave behind and how these people might think.
I hope this helps.

Approach him with genuine concern... but do your homework first on high blood pressure and it's risks. Lay it all out for him in black and white. Let him know that he has a doctor's appointment next Tuesday (for example) and tell him that you would really like to see him get some help.

They are not good as I have tried ed slimming tablets and they did not work for me!
You already know that to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. You've tried dieting, keeping a food diary, creating an exercise regimen, and perhaps even hypnosis. It's now obvious that the problem isn't with the technique, but with your willpower
Nowadays, people are very concerned about body image, and, as a result there are many diet pills available and most of these are hazardous to your health.
Why harm yourself if there are natural alternatives.
I started a month long diet and I have found that I have lost 4 pounds in only one week by "Life Style 30 Days" which has given me tonnes more energy than I had before and also, the vitamins my body needs to stay healthy.
However, there is also a much shorter diet called "Life Style 9 Days." And with the right attitude, this program can help you lose weight much faster.

How do I lose some weight?

I could do weight watchers? Or not eat lol

I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 months now and have tried almost every single weight loss pill thats out there... 99% of them don't work, I say 99% because I recently tried one that is starting to show some real results, acai berry pills..? so far I have been taking them for 2 months and I have lost 22lbs! YEAH ME.. 28lbs to go, but anyways I got them for free from this website, they may still be doing it.. not sure but check it out.

The key for losing weight is easy - consume less food and move more often - the difficulties appear when we actually try to put that into practice! There are lots of temptations out there don't you think?! The only method which clearly showed results for me is green tea, it can be checked out in the resource box below, they have a few free trials remaining, it was featured in Reader's Digest and CNN. I melted away 20 pounds, it clearly does produce success!

I tried everything to lose weight, and nothing worked until I tried acai berry. I understand they say that pills don't work, nevertheless they certainly worked for me, and they have been featured on the Rachael Ray Show too.There's a free trial happening at the moment at http://pedipn.ramlane.com , why not try it, why not?

WOW. You weight 287 lbs.
I would suggest you to eat fresh vegetables, fruits and meats. Do some stretching exercise before or after you wake up. You should do some exercise walking half an hour everyday. Please avoid eating Fast Foods.

I have a severe dental phobia......The only way they can fix my teeth is with sedation....I want them to sedate me and do all the work at once...In the dentist office they can only sedate me and pull my teeth but I want the all work done at in one visit.. So I was advised to go to the operating room where they will sedate me and do all that's needed..What I need to know is what differently will they do as far as sedation and what other advice or comfort tips can you give me???........Thanks /Blessings

I went to an oral surgeon and had IV sedation. There was a RN in the room with me, she started an IV in my arm and that was the last thing I remember. I woke up in a recovery room and then my husband drove me home. Oh and they gave me a pill to take 1 hour before my appointment to relax me. I hope this helps. People that don't have a true dental-phobia have no idea how bad it is for those of us that do.

Im always hungry.......why?

2009-04-22T01:16:00.000-07:00

Recently, whenever i eat a meal, i get hungry after 10mins all over again! Im 17 years old and i weigh 110 and am 5'6 if that helps...but yahh my question is why am i always hungry all the time?! i feel a wrenching feeling in my stomach.
ps. don't say that im pregnant, because im not! ive never been involved in anything sexual.

Sounds like you are not eating the right foods. I used to do that a lot when I ate foods that tend to process quickly like white rice, processed grains, high sugar foods, etc.
Eat more whole grains and less processed ones. Also add more fruits and vegetables, which make you feel full because they are loaded with fiber. Also, drink water, this will help with hunger as well.

Well it could be because you don't eat enough. Or your metabolism is extremely fast.
You are pretty thin as it is so you might want to eat a few more calories when you sit down to eat. I'm not suggesting eating junk food either. I'm saying eat a banana with your sandwich or some grapes. Or add more meat into your sandwiches that is always a good idea especially if it's a lean mean like chicken or turkey. I like to put avocado in my turkey sandwiches because not only is it healthy for you, it takes so good with turkey. Maybe you eat too many empty calories like sugar. Take a look at your diet and try to put healthy alternatives into your diet so you stay satisfied without the extra weight. Oh, Apples are great as well.

lucky , you just have a high metabolism! your so thin so dont worry its really good and a healthy sign! be grateful for it! i am the same height ( a tad smaller) and 128 pounds. i wish i was your weight

Can your dentist tell if you use dip or chewing tobacco?

2009-04-22T01:09:00.001-07:00

If so, how often would you have to do it for it to be noticeable? How often after use of tobacco will your dentist be able to tell that you use it?

For God's sake, enough chastisement about using tobacco! That does not help at all with my answer. I TRIED dip about a month ago, and it was gross, I don't recommend it, but I'm just wondering if it leaves a permanent marks in my mouth or if it's just for a while.

well i dip and when i went to the dentist they didn't say anything to me about it but they were talking and said that my gums were reciting so they probably knew that i did

yeah uhm dont smoke in the first place! im having a HUGE lecture in classes about nicotine tobacco and other stuff. will power is as powerful as u want it to be. try to quit! and yes the dentist can DEFINATLY tell if u have been doing dip. quit for your health and be careful! Wish you luck!

I dunno how long it takes, but chewing tobacco is not good for your teeth or anything else. The dentist will see soon enough.
Are you trying to hide the fact that your chewing tobacco from your dentist?

Normally about the first time you use it creates a film across your teeth. Within a week even after brushing the dentist can tell.

I stopped taking my birth control pills after three months, and now i am bleeding what might this be?

2009-04-21T04:49:00.000-07:00

Ok i was placed on birth control pills for three months to regulate my period and now the three months have passed. i took the last active pill on April 3rd my period ended on the eleventh, i did have sex after it ended . now for the last two to three days i have been seeing light bleeding. what might this be?

i am off the pill of the pill !!! the doctor told me that after the three months do not take anymore i should just wait and see if my period becomes regular

i wouldn't wory about it, i have this prob;em to and have been to the docs about it and i still get bleeing after intercourse to but it normal because your body is still trying to regulate the menstrual cycle. i have been off the pill for 5 monnths now.

are you completely off the pills now? just the 3 month course? or are you to continue the pills?
the spotting is normal if you discontinued the pills. some teens/adults need to stay of BC continuously in order to regulate or lighten (the flow) their cycle.

What lifestyle choices/habits cause diabetes?

2009-04-20T05:06:00.001-07:00

What small, seemingly insignificant choices/habits can cause diabetes over years or a lifetime? And what chloices/habits can help prevent it? I didnt mean generally speaking, i meant specific choices.

processed foods, any food that is white is bad for you generally , exercise helps keeping your weight down also , but a lot of folks are predisposed .

Source(s): the whiter the bread the quicker your dead a doctor told my wife that 7 years ago

Genetics are partially linked to diabetes, but a sedentary lifestyle mixed with a high fat diet both factor into the development of the disease. If you're worried about getting diabetes, you'd be wise to start exercising regularly while revamping your diet. You'd be surprised how effective those two methods are. Exercise alone has been shown to be twice as effective as medication in controlling blood glucose levels (mainly because the body can use at least 95% of the glucose it produces).

I'm assuming you're talking about Type 2 diabetes (Type 1 is auto-immune). No specific cause but a number of factors can contribute to it...like sedentary lifestyle, overweight, high sugar/fat diet..a FAMILY HISTORY of DM. also other diseases like hypertension...
risk also increases with age (45, 50 ++) and certain ethnic groups have a higher predisposition...

In my own experience with my hubby, I noticed he drinks a lot of water and urinates often, he lost 10kg in 1 month w/o dieting, he suddenly has the sore in his toe nail(under the nail, he feels sleepy most of the time, as it runs in his blood(family history) i suspected that he has high blood sugar, and yes its positive........hope the above helps you...I also find this blog very helpful for diabetes treatment:

Why Worry About Your Diabetes?
Diabetes Mellitus is an inherited disease which occurs when the Islands of Langerhans on the pancreas are unable to produce enough protein and insulin to process the carbohydrates (sugars and starches) we eat. The sugar stays in the blood until it spills over into the kidneys and then is output in the urine. Symptoms of the disease include extreme thirst, excessive urination, constant hunger, loss of weight, itching around the groin, marked fatigue, changes in vision, and slow healing of cuts and scratches.

People who are over weight and lead sedentary life styles are at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. But not all heavy people have diabetes. The exact cause is not known. Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder.

sorry not any life style or habits are predisposing factors but the genetic factors auto immune disease factors and infection of the islets of langerhans (insulin producing cells )are the celebrated reasons

I'm 13 and a half yrs old and im kinda wanna watch porn very frequently shud i give it up or watch?

2009-04-20T05:02:00.000-07:00

should i watch till i get bored or break my head and somehow stop watching by taking really serious measures. some of my friends say tat they have got bored of watching it and there is nothing wrong with watching porn so what should i do? plz help..............and i also masturbate while watching thanks

I would still watch porn just not as much maybe like half of how much u watch now. And also ur young and are gonna keep whackin it for a while so don't be embarassed I started watching porn when I was 9 believe it or not and it did get boring after a while just give it time and the urge to watch porn and whack it will eventually stop. If u want to stop soner then watch the same one over and over that worked for me. I hope I helped.

hey man, in my opinion and from experience its best if you don't watch it. first of all because it can be addicting, maybe your not addicted now but down the road it can be. also when you watch porn you get a false image of girls. they are not all willing to let guys have sex with them, these girls and guys are getting payed to do this. if you want to grow up and have good relationships with girls, and your future wife its best you just wait till you have sex instead of watching other people do it. it gives you a wrong picture of how sex really works, its supposed to be a close loving connection between two people and porn ruins that image. you should try to stop if you can, and focus on other things. it is ok to masturbate, but try to use your imagination and thoughts instead of watching people do it. not to mention it is illegal for you to watch anyways, if you get caught you could get in big trouble.
well thats all i have to say. good luck, and hopefully you will make the best decision to help you later in life.

a boy your age should not be watching porn at all. it distorts the way men treats women. it makes young boys think that women are there for only the guy's benefit.
wait until you are older. masturbate by all means but do not watch porn. you can easily become addicted to it which may ruin your future relationships.

Circumcision is it bad?

2009-04-20T04:59:00.001-07:00

Im 17 and have a really tight foreskin ive used this cream and done stretches as told by my doctor, he now says I will have to be circumcised. I would prefer to be natural but it does seem like it would make things easier if I was circumcised. Are there any alternatives as im going back to see my doctor soon and want to make a decision.

You probably dont *need* to be circumcised. If you want it for other reasons, then you're probably old enough to make that decision for youself (although I know more than one guy who did it as an adult and seriously regretted it so be careful making that decision).
Does this tightness hurt? Is it causing you problems? If not, why fix something that isnt broken? If it is causing you problems, you can just get a small cut to losen the foreskin, or get a minor circ if you wanted.
Despite what some people on here are saying-most women could care less if you're cut or not. Personally I prefer uncut guys-it feels better for me-but I'm engaged to a cut guy. I dont really care. I mean...honestly...if a woman didnt like you just because you hadnt been cut, well..she's rather stuck up anyway.
Have you had sex yet? If so did it bother you when you did? If not...I'd definately wait to see what happens there...it might be perfectly fine. I mean, this isnt major surgery, but there are some risks-primarily being you deciding you dont like it. You cant just take it back unfortunately.
Its really up to you. I'd do some research on it if I were you. Make an informed choice and you (hopefully) wont regret it in the long run :)
PS jsut because you had it done as a baby doesnt mean it didnt hurt. You just dont remember the pain.

If you've already tried the cream and stretches, the next option is preputioplasty. It's a surgical loosening of the foreskin. It's not as extremy as circumcision as it just loosens the foreskin rather than removes it (which is quite extreme for this problem, and results in more healing necessary, more loss in sensation etc). So I suggest you google that for some information and then ask your doctor about it; if he still pushes circumcision then see another doctor. They can also do a dorsal slit rather than circumcision though I heard the results from that are not as good, it's still better than circumcision. Good luck.

Circumcision at any age is bad.
Infant circumcision is infant abuse, and is cruel and barbaric.
Don't let your doctor talk you into circumcision, it is NEVER necessary, and most doctors want to mutilate all males by circumcision as they make money from it, and many of the doctors are also members of the religions that try to mutilate all males by circumcision.
Circumcision always damages the penis and sexual sensitivity, and doctors NEVER discuss the diminished sensitivity, and don't disclose the adverse effects and complications that result from male genital mutilation, called circumcision.
There is also a small operation, that your doctor didn't tell you about, because he obviously wants to circumcise you. This operation is called a preputioplasty, or dorsal slit, which cuts a small opening in the foreskin to facilitate retraction.
If I were you, I wouldn't go back to that doctor. You can find a doctor in your area who will treat you by typing in Doctors Opposing Circumcision, and they have a list of doctors who aren't intent on mutilating males by circumcision.
Have you tried stretching with the penis flaccid, and inserting both index fingers into the foreskin opening and pulling sideways, gently?
All stretching must be done gently and gradually, so as not to cause scarring, and pain. Mild discomfort is all you should feel.
The stretching takes several months to accomplish, doing it daily, several times per day, for 10-15 minutes at a time.
Circumcision is the worst hoax ever perpetrated on the male sex.
A foreskin is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.

It seems that you have run out of options for keeping the foreskin and you are really better off without it.
A short period of discomfort ( I won't say pain) and then no more tightness, smegma, split foreskin, odour and no danger of paraphimosis.
incidentally it is perfectly natural for the glans to be bare - circumcision just makes it permanent.

Hey it seems a scary concept but circumcision is not a bad thing! I had my operation at the age of 10 since I had the same symptoms as you did but I'm glad that I have had it now since it the pain is worse as you get older, my brother in law had his op when he was 40 and he suffered greatly. Plus ladies prefer circumcised penis' since they like guys who regularly clean downstairs so thats a positive. You won't have any problems later on in life and my doc said that your better having it done at a young age.

i got cut at 18 for this reason.
please don't let anyone tell you it's wrong or it male mutation as it is not (i know 1 person who will say it is)
you will get people saying don't do it as you lose feeling dut you don't and it will not hurt as much as you think
if you tried all the other things getting cut is you best answer.

cut at 18 and 31 and it was the best thing i had done
thumb down time from the idiots who don't know

Depends. I am circumcised and honestly there isn't anything good about it. However I have restored my foreskin. Sex is SOO MUCH better uncircumcised. Circumcision takes away a lot of sensitivity.
Make sure you are going the stretching right and you arent forcing the skin, if it hurts at all you are just making the problem worse. Just pull the skin back as far as possible WITHOUT pain durring an erection and hold it there for at the very least 5 mins and do that several times a day. When you go back to your doctor ask him for some steroid cream to use with the stretching, it works perfectly my friend had the same problem and it worked great! You don't need a circumcision, most doctors just say that in this country.
If I was in that situation I would avoid getting circumcised at all costs.

Circumcision is NEVER necessary. Persist with the stretching and you will succeed without being mutilated. I can't improve on e w who has given a thorough case against getting cut.
Many doctors now refuse to do it, even though some still force it on helpless babies. As you are an adult, you have the right to have your own penis mutilated, but you're a fool if you do.

i am circumcised and i am not jewish or anything, my mother did it because she said it would be cleaner for me in the future and my wife would appreciate it. good luck though because i don't know if they numb it with a needle or something haha.

well i had it done when i was a baby so it didnt hurt at all, and its not bad at all, its pretty normal for me, but having it done at your age, i think i wouldnt do that, but you might have to do it.

Alz the skin is not going to streach overnight you have to be on it everyday and it will take some time before it streaches out . give it some time and be diligent on working it eventyually will get it done

Is my penis small or medium or large?

2009-04-20T04:55:00.001-07:00

Its a little over 7 inches when fully aroused and I was wondering if that was small or average.... Haha tat a weird thing to ask. well I am 15

Don't worry. That's not weird at all. That's what guys do. We compare.
That's an awesome size. You're one of the lucky few to be that endowed. I'd be parading that thing around

That's a great size, really depends on your age though. But the average size is 6 inches so that's pretty good im 14 and im 7 and change. its only gonna grow more so my bf says and for our age we are avg-above avg.

I have a problem all men experience.? penis LONGER not by pills or devices

2009-04-20T04:52:00.000-07:00

Hi, i would like to know what are the healthy ways to make my penis LONGER not by pills or devices.

Well, not all men experience this desire; I never have. Never thought mine was small or short and never had any difficulties or concerns having sex that my tool was too tiny. You are just either really insecure or probably misinformed about penis size, and listen too much to your other guy friends. All guys lie about penis size and height and how much sex they have gotten. Always remember that.
Average adult penis size for 76% of all males is 5.4 to 6.2 inches Only 12% of all guys are larger than that. All your friends that claim an 8 inch penis are most likely lying. The vagina is stretchable, but most perfectly accomodates the 5 to 6.4 range with no issue at all. Many girls would be hesitant to accept an 8 incher.

The ONLY time in your life that your penis will be able to grow is during puberty! That's the bottom line, sorry.
No pill, cream, lotion, potion, contraption, device, gizmo, gadget or exercise will make it larger permanently. The only "proven" way to enlarge a penis (post puberty) is surgery, but the cost, pain and risks hardly outweigh any gains one might achieve from it.

All men dont experience this. :L
I don't.
theres one way ive heard that you can do "jelqing" which is like stretching the penis every so often. but tbh it would take ages to see any significant increase anyway and its just a waste of time.
so you just need to live with the penis size you have.

Hi, to be honest, the world is critical today about all this kind of stuff but the truth is, its as big as it is and there is nothing you can do about it. There is nothing wrong with what you do, who you are or what you look like. No matter what people say, bigger is not always better! :)

You get what your genes give you, and that's it. All pills, creams, and devices are nothing more than modern versions of snake oil. Lots of promises, little or no results.
And, as a man, I don't need my penis to be longer. I've fathered three children and satisfied several lovers. (And I am quite average.)

there is no practical way to make your penis bigger, there is a surgery which costs thousands of dollars and doesn't even make your penis more than half an inch longer if that. the best thing you can do is learn to like your size.

If you are still in puberty it will continue to lengthen up to around 18/19 and thicken for a while beyond that
If you are an adult , save your money as there is no proven method that works .

Well you can try rubbing it or losing some weight. Losing weight makes it come out.

Brown vaginal discharge 2 weeks after period?

2009-04-20T04:47:00.001-07:00

my last period was about two weeks ago and it came really early. today is probably around the time that it should have come, and today i am having brown vaginal discharge (the kind you get the day after your period is over). should i be concerned?
thank you so much for any help.

The brown discharge is just really old endometrial lining, and is probably because there hasn't been much time to build up much since your last period. You have had a cycle upset for some reason, and your body is probably trying to reset things. It generally takes a cycle or two to do that, and in the meantime odd things may happen. If things don't settle down again within two or three cycles/months, then it is a good time to visit the gynecologist.

i wouldn't be.... i had the same question for my doctor. she said that it was normal, and that i shouldn't be worried. but you can check out web M.D., or you can call your doctors when their open. i wouldn't be worried though
