so yeah, it hurts mostly when im sitting for a long time or when my right arm isn't relaxed my skin on my right shoulder blade stings/hurts. even when im holding my mouse i can feel it..it's like a permanent sunburn or something.
and its been like this since forever, i dont even remember when it started.
so what is it? is it caused by having sunburns there in the past?
Answer:
There are lots of possible causes of localised skin problems like the one you have described.Are you currently taking any medications? Certain medications can cause shoulder problems such as tingling and aching.As this is an ongoing problem, you should let your doctor know so you can find out the cause.

Why does the platelets fall down in blood?
Answer:
Generally, the amount of platelets in blood will go down because either the bone marrow is not producing enough, the platelets are being destroyed too quickly, or too many platelets are being stored in the spleen. Take a look at the source below for more information about possible causes (and more about low platelet counts). The person needs to be seen by a doctor to find out what is causing the low platelet count in his/her case. Hope this helps.
Why does the medical community insist upon regularly scaring migraine sufferers to death thru media stories?
Migraines, especially those with auras are very scary things to live with. More than a few migraine sufferers have committed suicide rather than continue to endure these monsters after all treatment options have come up short. Yet, every 6 months on average, there will be a story run on the nightly news or as an internet headline to the effect of "New Study Shows Migraine Sufferers 8 Times More Likely To Suffer Stroke Than Non Sufferers" or the recent, "Studies Link Migraine to Brain Damage". These stories are all repetitive in nature (2007's "new revelations" are the same, almost verbatim, as those which were run last year, and the previous year, etc etc) Who is real-world-spamming Migraineurs with these horror stories and for what purpose??? It's not as if it's some sort of ailment that most people can actually DO something about in response to a public health alert.
Answer:
http://www.newstarget.com/021789.html... Read this, you will find that it has everything to do with the multi billion dollar pharmaceutical giants that finance our media.
There are also stories that link migraines to a protective role in long term brain function!
I really think it depends on the drug they are trying to sell at the time

Why does the left side of my head and face keeps tingling?
It heart yesterday and I had a lot of blood in my left nasal passage. Sinus infection or am I dying?
Answer:
Get yourself to the doctor. NOW! Tingling could indicate a blood clot (pending or mini-stroke).If it is stroke, the longer you wait, the more damage and less likely your full recovery would occur. GO NOW! Go to the ER.
You've had a stroke

Why does the drug speed age you so fast?
I've seen pictures of young twenty year olds and a picture of them having used speed for two years and they look 50 years old. What in it makes it age them so fast?
Answer:
lack of hygiene. when you get high you twitch and stuff and you scratch your face because you start to develop bumps. you lose your teeth, too. but of course this is all opinion, dammit.
they don't. 20 years old after 2 years, with or with out the drug would be 22 years old.
Chalk it up as just something to muse over and something that we'll never really understand kind of, like "why is rush hour always the slowest hour of the day."

Why does skin bruise? I mean, when you see a bruise, what exactly is it?
Answer:
it is blood vessels broken upon impact. if you hit your knee or shin or any part of your body and want to avoid a bruise, rub it right after it's hit and you will break up those blood vessels and won't bruise.
It's kind of like the clotting of blood where heavy impact is sustained.
bruising is caused when blood vessels are ruptured due to trauma, pressure, etc.
i think it is broken blood vessels
blood vessels breaking
Bruises are where bleeding has occured under the skin - often from trauma such as bumping it on something. I occassionally get bruising under my chin if I eat certain foods - a chemical in the food (MSG) causes the blood vessels there to leak

Why does orange juice make me urinate more frequently?
Answer:
the acid irritates your bladder
Cause you drink more of it, most likely because it is delicious (depending on pulp).
maybe the sugars in it.
If you think it's bad now, try it with vodka!!
must be the acid...get some depends.lol
It causes more urination because of the acids and contents to pasteurize-like it.
acid makes your bladder irritated so you need to wee more coca cola can do the same cos of caffeine

Why does my throat feel constricted or tight?
Answer:
This usually happens to me when I'm about to get a severe cold or fever. So be careful with what you eat. Go to your family doctor if it gets any worse.
You could be having an allergic reaction. Seeing Dr. is a good idea.
You might be dehydrated drink some ice water if that doesn't help gargle with salt and an aspirin.
Maybe something you ate that is not agreeing, you know an allergic reaction. Take some benadryl, if you can, if that does not help quickly, call the doctor. Go to the emergency room if it you need to. It could also be anxiety, a doctor can only help you for sure!
How long have you had this problem? If it's been a month or more I would think allergies.
Do you have a fever?Foul smelly breath? It could be strep throat.
If this is a sudden occurrence you should probably see your doctor. Try to gargle with salt and warm water. Good luck to you.
Why does my skin itch when I exfoliate?
It doesnt when I dont so what happening - it drives me crazy!!
Answer:
It might be because you are drying your skin out by exfoliating your skin. Try moisturizing after exfoliating, it should help.
try rubbing sandpaper against your thigh really hardyour thigh will itch tooyou have nerve endings under surface of skin for a reasonif you didnt itch you could rub all day and rub your face to shredsthe itching is like brakes on a car
Maybe you are allergic to something in your exfoliating product. Best bet would be to just stay away.
I think you are allergic...I wouldn't do it for a while and let your skin heal. You may be over doing it...Good Luck!
are you scrubbing too hard ?
or are you allergic to whatever you are using?
also its worth moisturising afterwards as you may have made your skin go very dry
It sounds like its irritated by the exfoliation. Not sure if you're using a scrub or puff to exfoliate, but either method may be too much for your skin and are causing tiny scratches along with removing dead skin. As an example, I normally never have problems when I shave my legs but recently I shaved them and it stung a bit because my shins weren't properly exfoliated beforehand and the razor was minutely nicking the skin around the hair shaft. Sure enough, my shins were itching like crazy for a few days, until they healed.Try using an exfoliating lotion like AmLactin, a product that contains AHAs. These will exfoliate without being rough on the skin. Also, if you find your skin is itchy, avoid lotions that have fragrance in them.
when you treat your skin to any chemical product that contains drying agents, it will cause the skin to irritate.So next time you exfoliate or whatever you do to remove the natural oils and that layer of protective skin, thereby exposing the underlying skin to direct sunlight or polutents, use a non perfumed moisturizer over the skin. A good moisturizer is Franch Oil. It is actually linseed oil which has healing properties.
there are an order in which you must use your products. exfoliators, moisturisers, cleansers etc.i think you may be allergic to the product. the grains might be too rough also. you might need something lighterbe sure not to exfoliate too often. unless it is designed for daily use.the problem could be in the products you use after you exfoliate also.your best bet is to go to the pharmacy of major store and talk to a beautician. they can give you great tips on how to look after your skin. if you cant afford expensive products, find someone who can advise you in the cheaper stuff.i dont think its the actual exfoliting action that is making you itchy though. get it checked out by someone who knows what they are looking at
You might be allergic to something in the brand of your exfoliate product, or you might be allergic to exfoliate all together. Try using a different brand. You can also try Alpha Hydroxy straight. Use a little bit, not alot, after a shower because it may be too strong for you. When i first used it, it made my face kinda red I think its because i used too much, but it went away after a few hours. You might be using exfoliate too many times a week. Try exfoliating your skin (face or body) 1 or 2 times a week. Skin can only take so much, especially if you're young. Younger skin does not need to be exfoliated as many times as people in their 30's $ 40's etc.. Oh, and dont exfoliate under your eyes or eyelids. Its too delicate. Eye area doesnt need it. All the eye area needs a warm wet cloth. If you feel the need to exfoliate a delicate area such as this, i suggest to use VERY LITTLE "Alpha Hydroxy". You can buy "Alpha Hydroxy cream" in any large grocery or pharmacy store. Walmart or Walgreens pharmacy for example. Its only about $6.
If you are having continuing skin problems. I agree with talking to a dermatologist. Maybe a beautician, but some beauticians are only looking for a sale, not your well being.
Good luck. ;)
A news report on today suggested that too many people wash and exfoliate too much. This leads to them depleting the essential oils found naturally in the skin, and in many cases, develop eczema. The answer is cut down the amount of times you exfoliate, but to also use a moisturiser

Why does my skin itch every where that I shave?
I never had this problem before, until I got into some poison ivy a few months ago. The only place affected by the ivy was under my chin, where I scratched on accident, but these other places have since begun to itch over the last month or so. The poison ivy has long since cleared up, yet the itch continues.
Answer:
try putting some lotion after u shave it will help
maybe is the shaving cream u use. the other times u sed to shave did u get itchy? i think the shaving cream is allergic to your skin

Why does my right big toe hurt when i eat very sugary foods?
I've noticed this over the last few months - very strange. There are no other apparent symptoms, just a throbbing or sometimes dull ache in my right big toe.Once i cut sugary foods from my diet (my fave being toffee popcorn) the discomfort goes after 2 or 3 days.Anyone ever experience this?
Answer:
you are experiencing the symptoms of gout. You need to see your medical doctor and have an examination for Gout. There are medications that can be given to help with this condition. For the time being avoid sugar, fried foods and fatty foods.
Isn't this Gout? I'm not sure, but Google it just to be sure...
Gout?
you prolly have diabetes
GOUT - look it up with a search engine.
GOUT!! Look up the gout diet and follow it.
i think it's gout
IDK but i wish that would happen to me. maybe i'd quit chowing down on so much junk food then LOL! or maybe i should just tame my munchies..OH WELL
I think I know what that is but I never attributed it to sugar. It sounds like you may have the gout. I have had it a few times but it seemed to come from other types of foods. The gout can happen in any joint in the body but it almost always is found in one of the big toes. When I have had it, it was where my big toe connected to my foot and it felt like I had broken my foot.
eww, you have gout. do you eat alot of pickles and deli food? it causes crystals to develop in your extremities, and the sugar probably aggrevates it. i'd get it checked out, especially if you're overweight, another sign of gout.
maybe gout?
gout is caused by red-meat, isn't it?

Why does my nose bleed during allergy and sinus season?
sinus and nose bleed
Answer:
Well.if you are using Flonase nasal spray for your allergies, it could be the medication making your nose bleed. Nose bleed is one of the side effects with that medication. Most likely it's just because your nose is dry because of the weather or because of blowing your nose repeately. There is a product over the counter called ocean nasal spray. All it is is a saline nasal spray that will help rehydrate your nose so it's not so dry. Ayr gel is another one (that one might not be as messy) that will help rehydrate your nose. Don't worry about it though...you're still perfectly healthy...it happens to a lot of us.
mine does the same thing it just means its adjusting! normally due to weather change! Don't worry your still healthy! Its nothing odd or weird its perfectly normal!
Likely just the dry air and irritation from pollen. My nose does this, too. Also, Flonase can cause nosebleeds if you happen to be taking it for your allergies.
More than likely your nose is just dry from your medication.
I have 3 kids that have allergies,(ages 6 to 13) they sometimes have nose bleeds. Get some saline nose spray, it is cheap %26 will help put moisture back in your nose %26 stop the nose bleeds. If you have other symptoms you should see your Dr.

Why does my inner ear itch constantly?
i had a bad head infection this winter and laryngitis so bad i couldn't speak for three days, but they gave me antibiototics and ear drops. however, ever since i took the ear drops my ears have itched on the inside and there is excessive build up. the NHS here in london doesn't take me seriously when i complain about it.
Answer:
I would see a doctor if I were you, you may have a parasite or a fungus infection. You will need medicine for this. Doctors advise everyone not to stick q-tips in your ear canals. This pushes the ear wax down against your eardrum which may become impacted and cause problems.
Maybe you're allergic to whatever is in the drops. Why don't you get a good ear candling? That might fix the problem.
maybe if you wash and clean your ears with QTIPS then you wont have a bad head ache
Believe it or not i have had this for three weeks now! I went to my G.P. and had a course of antibiotics which helped, but it came back with a vengence ! So i went back and got more stronger tablets, so far so good, but i was told there is some form of bug which actually breeds in the ear, YUK, but it is common.Go see your G.P. and stop putting drops in, it can actually do more harm then good while you have an infection. good luck.
so itch it ...
both of my ears itch constantly, way deep inside, I have been to my ear,nose, and throat doctor and it didnt do much good. I get alot of build up also, keep them clean and try some kind on lotion that works for itching, but dont put a ton of it in your ear. like goldbond, that helps me.
Well first of all you can try gently cleaing your ears with a Q tip.Also the problem may be in your throat. There are small tube that connect the inside of your ear to your throat to make sure the pressure is equal on both sides of your ear drum (Why your ears pop when you change altitude). There may be some kind of irritation in your throat or the tubes themselves. You also may just have a slight ear infection which you can get medication for.
I'm not sure if this is the same, but I have psoriasis in my ears and they are itchy and I scratch constantly. It took a while but I finally found a doctor who took me seriously and he prescribed cortison cream that I can apply with a q-tip and it has done wonders. Try seeing someone when it is really bad so they can actually see what is happening and maybe that will help.
I would suggest a non-sedating antihistamine for daytime use, and a sedating one at night. This will address the "itching" feeling inside. I have had relief from these symptoms by pouring a capful of hydrogen peroxide into my ear (while on my side with a towel over my shirt b/c it will "bleach" the fabric if it touches it). Keep in for about 3 minutes.

Why does my heart feel like its pumping in the back of my head?
Every now and then when im playing sport my head starts to hurt and start thumping why is this and at the moment im getting it running up the stairs?
Answer:
You are experiencing 'palpitations', which basically mean you are aware of your own heart beat. Generally this is normal, especially after being physically active.http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/palpitation...If lucozade is an energy drink, and contains caffeine, then yes, a lot of caffeine can induce palpitations. I find it unlikely that you have chronic high blood pressure if you are only 13. If you were experiencing a migraine, it would be very obvious; I don't think this is what you are suffering from. However, we on this forum are not in any position to diagnose you; if you really feel concerned about your this, you should see your family doctor.
Maybe your back is out of line.I'd check if i was you.
may be a good idea to get your blood pressure checked. Sounds like it may be a bit high.
You may have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
sounds like high blood pressure to me,you will need to get it checked by a doctor.
Sounds like a migrane. Try some headache tablets, otherwise see the doctor/nurse and have your blood pressure checked out.
Stop drinking that drink for amonth and see. It may be due to hyperactive.
check with your doctor to rule out any medical reasons like HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, or it could be simple like overdoing it and not been fit enough to do what you are doing.
I got this when i was 13, and i was very active too. Iam now 15, and am still vey active, but it has stopped, i eat more friut now and that stopped it from happening, and drink lots of water. just eat your 5 a day and drink the recomeded amount of water. you will be fine.
yes id say probably your lucazade so slow down on them
Thumping means it is like hammering ! It may be because of the high blood pressure and or because of the some arterial stenosis or atresia at that particular site !But if you feel like nausea and vomiting or headache than please consult your doctor for to evaluate the reason ! Always YouRsmE

Why does my head feel like its burning when i walk a few minutes to starbucks i used to be able to sit in the
i used to be able to sunbathe for hours or at least an hour with not feeling the burn?
Answer:
Are you on any medication? Certain medications (even certain antibiotics) can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, and that includes your head. You previous injuries and burns can make the area more sensitive. Current skin rashes and other conditions can make it more sensitive.As mentioned above, thinning hair could be a possibility, too. Also, if you have lightened your hair or if you are graying now, that could be a factor.With the depleting ozone layer there is less filtering of the sun rays and we are all at higher risk of burning than before.By all means, start wearing a hat to protect your head and face when you go out and if you are not already, start using sunscreen on all exposed areas. There are face cream products available with sunscreen of you prefer that for your face.It sounds as if this is a new development. It would be a good idea to have your physician to examine the area to make sure you may not have a skin condition that needs medical attention.
If you are female like your avatar then I could have to ask you if you have noticed your hair thinning. Do you see more hair in the drain after a shower? Are you taking any drugs that cause hair to fall out. Some cancer and arthritis (Arava, MTX) drugs can make your hair fall out. Stress is also a factor in hair loss. Maybe that's why you're burning. Get a hat and go to the Dr. You could also have a hormone imbalance. Good luck to you!

Why does my freestyle glucose meter keep giving me different readings?
i mean very off readings! one min. it will be 94 then 30 seconds later it was 239? I just complained to abbott two days ago and they sent me new monitor and strips yet it is doing the same thing. Could i be doing something wrong?
Answer:
Technique is very important when using a fingerstick device. Tissue and other elements can dilute or concentrate the blood and give very different results.Try using a bigger lancet and don't try to "milk" the blood from your finger. You really need a free flowing drop to test. Also, try wiping the first drop off and use the second drop that comes out, you should see more consistent results.Good luck and God bless
You may not be coding the machine correctly. Your test strips should have a number on the vial that they come in. Use the C button on the machine to change the code number to the correct number. Also, be sure that your finger is completely dry (no left over water or alcohol on it). If your finger is still wet when you poke it and use the blood on the test strip, you will dilute the sample. Alot of people don't realize this.
Chances are you are doing something wrong, but it's easily fixable with a little trouble shooting. If all else fails, try the One Touch Ultra 2 or any on the One Touch products by Lifescan- if Lifescan is a product that is preferred by your insurance, you can get a free machine and your test strips will be covered at a minimum copay- hopefully.
Good luck, you'll get it!

Why does my face turn white sometimes?
I noticed this happens to me at work sometimes: my face loses all colour and the shadows under my eyes stand out, so I look like the living dead. It's not because I'm tense or unhappy at work, although I get a bit bored sometimes. I'm mostly very healthy and don't have any bad habits, so what's going on?
Answer:
Your blood sugar level could be low. Try eating an orange or some type of fruit that you like. You might even have been breathing shallow while concentrating on your work and not realized it, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain. Try deep breathing exercises, you can do them at your desk. Concentrate on taking a deep inhale and them on the exhale do so that your stomach rises, that gets more oxygen to the lower parts of your lungs. Also stay hydrated, drink water all during the day, keep a bottle next to you as much as you can do so.
your dead you just dont know it
There are 102 causes of pallor. Perhaps it's the lighting. You haven't mentioned any other symptoms that go along with this but it wouldn't hurt to mention it to your doctor.
I find that it's to do with lack of sleep. Treat yourself to an early night and have a lie-in over the weekend to improve your appearance! Simple, but it works.

Why does my face cream contain on the ingredients list: "citric acid and/or sodium hydroxide"?
It's on a tube of benzoyl peroxide that I'm using at the moment. Doesn't it seem strange, considering the two ingredients are so very different but can still be substituted for one another?
Answer:
Actually they aren't being substituted one for the other at all. When they produce a product for facial use, they have to adjust the final pH to match that of human skin. One or the other will be used depending on if the batch is alkaline or acid, to counter balance the entire batch. So either one or the other would have been used, but not both. If the batch was alkaline, they would likely have used the citric acid, and if it were acidic they would use the sodium hydroxide. It's not like you didn't have garlic powder so you used a clove of garlic. It's so you don't chemically burn your skin with a product that's too acid or too base.
Believe they both qualify as astringents or "pore reducers."

Why does my eye constantly produces yellowish discharge all day long without appearing to be pink??
what i mean by pink is that my eye looks good to me
Answer:
Depends what environment your in, a dirty one is more likely to make your eye do that. i'm not a doctor though, go see one just to be safe.
If it's producing a yellowish discharge chances are it is infected. You probably have conjunctivitis, or "pink eye." A weeping eye is the tell tale sign, and left untreated is when it turns hot pink. No need to put off treatment.You will need antibiotic eye drops for that. Go to your doctor asap. Tell them over the phone that you think you have an infected eye, it's producing a yellowish discharge, and you need to be seen TODAY. It's very very contagious, so you need to wash your hands frequently, and dry them with paper towels. The bath towel you are using should be washed in bleach and hot water after each use. Do not share hand towels or washcloth with anyone, and change them daily, too. Change your pillow case every day also. Anything that is fabric that you come in contact with needs to be changed out daily, washed it hot water and bleach.You could easily damage your eyes by not getting medical attention. If you wear contact lenses, quit wearing them and get new lenses. The infection will linger in that pair of contacts so they must be thrown away. Your eye may look okay, but the inside of the lower lid is where you should focus your attention. Your doctor will know what it is for sure.If your doctor cannot work you in today, please go to a walk in clinic. They are open from like 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. They take insurance, you don't need an appointment and they will have you in %26 out in half an hour.Get well soon. Don't touch that eye!
Pink eye is just a nickname for Conjunctivitis. and that is what it sounds like you have. You eye can look normal (not bloodshot) because you have a high irritation resistance. however the yellow puss discharge is highly contagious and you need to go to the doctor to get an antibiotic and an ointment to clear it up or you will be passing it back and forth with everyone you are around

Why does my ear hurts when i talk more than 5min on the cell phone? Is it harmful? and what to do?
Answer:
Your ear is protecting you from using too many minutes? ;-) ~
it is harmful
it happens to me
just dont hold it so closeand press it hard on ur ear
maybe even turn the volume down
You might be pressing the phone too hard to your head, or is the volume set too high? Microwave shields (previous answer) may or may not be the answer, depending on how much time you're actually spending on the phone.
You are probably just pressing in too hard. Other than the obvious issues of talking on the phone while driving or operating saw blades there are no real scientifc links to cell phone use and diseases. There are some studies that show a possible link to some issues, but these are very rare studies. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jht...
It could be that your eardrum is damaged or you have some sort of damage inside your ear, which is being agitated by the sound waves.Have a doctor do an ear canal inspection to make sure there is no bleeding or anything.
Why does my cat have quarter size open sores on left shoulder?
4 months ago my familly adopted a cat that was on allergy medicine to help heal some sores on his shoulder-dime size-they healed quickly. 4 wks later we noticed them resurfacing, took him to our local vet and was treated with antibiotics and ointment. original sore partially healed while another developed behind it. took back to the vet for advice. she has never seen anything like it and wants to do a biopsy. we have already spent hundreds of dollars on this mystery and can't afford much more, we also do not want to return this sweet feline to the humane society. Today we came home to a the inside of our house covered in cat urine and fecices. HELP
Answer:
So sad. Maybe you should surrender the kitty to the humane society. I know that sounds awful and i'm not sure I could do that but the medical bills will just keep going higher and higher. I have been there before and almost ended up in the poor house. I just think you only have a couple of options so I say pay for as long as you can and if he's still sick then surrender him. I do animal rescue and I know this sweet kitty will be treated if treatable. I hope everything will turn out great for the 2 of you.
im really sorry to say this but i would get the cat out of your house asap because you could get whatever it has. hope your cat gets better
Hi. Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with your new kitty's health. I think it is important to realize that you have committed to this new pet and you should be committed to maintaining this cat's health. I know it has been a lot of money (especially since it was unforeseen) but I encourage you to continue to care for this animal. There are a number of illnesses that could cause these lesions on your cat's skin. Some examples are bacterial, allergic contact dermatitis, tumor, autoimmune, parasitic, etc. Some of these illnesses can be treated easily and in a relatively low-cost manner. I think a biopsy of the lesion is a good option at this point. It may be enable your vet to finally make a diagnosis. Work with your vet and make up a plan that works for you, your cat and your pocketbook. Most vets will allow you to set up a long-term payment plan with them, ask about this option.
I sincerely wish you and your cat the best of luck. Take care!
Skin conditions in pets and humans can be hard to diagnose and treat. I have to wonder why the house was covered in cat urine and feces. Was the cat ill? Did the cat not have access to, or not know where the litter back was? Is the cat stressed and trying to communicate that?The problem with this cat could be incredibly simple to treat once the cause is found. Do you really not have the money to continue treatment or do you not want to spend the money to continue treatment? If it's the latter, you shouldn't have adopted the cat in the first place.

Why does my belly button smell?
my belly button smells quiet bad. i shower daily and have good personal hygiene.
Answer:
Doesn't matter if you're skin and bones or if you're overweight.sheesh.
It's a HOLE, everything gathers in there. My husband calls it his lint trap. ;)
Take a few Qtips, swirl them around in there to get as much out as you can.---Could take more than a few.
Then you take some alcohol on a Qtip and swirl that around in there----could burn a bit if it's raw and sore.
Then take some more Qtips and swirl them around until your navel's dry.Make sure you dry it out thoroughly every time you shower or if you're sweating a lot.---This happens to everybody at some time or another. I have this happen about once a year, mostly in the winter when I'm covered from head to toe all the time.If it's sore and red, grab some Neosporin and swirl it around in there---with a Qtip. :)
GO TO YOUR GP AS YOU MAY HAVE AN INFECTION GET IT CHECKED ASAP
maybe because your not cleaning it with baby oil and cotton buds once a week..
You have to wash the belly button and dry it too.
Build up of soap maybe
Im not being funny...but does it smell like poo??
Are you sure the smell is not emanating from the region further south from your belly button
It is becoming infected, due to perspiration, Keep it dry. Go to doctors or the nurse who will probably give you some poder to put on.
Probably because not a lot of air circulation gets into the most inner part of it. And also, sweat could get into it.It's just something to live with, I guess. and quit smelling your belly button!! :) LOL
you must make sure that you dry your skin with towel after shower. Moist areas are reservoir of a fungal infection. try to consult your physician, it may be a fungal infection which one of the signs and symptoms is a bad smell.
Its probably infected. I had this once, and when I stuck a cotton bud in it came out with nastyness and blood on it. A little Germolene or TCP on a cotton bud, few times a day, will heal infection.
It happens to most people. Just wash and dry it often.
Are you overweight? sweat and other "things" and odors collect in the belly button. persons whom are "fat" the BB will collapse or crease and the odors seem to stay there longer.
Wash it...and then dry it too.
I think it happens if you put on alot of weight around your stomach, the depth of your bellybutton increases and makes it harder to clean and particularly dry properly. Other than that it could be an infection, best to see your GP really.
i had the same problem before. later on, i figured out what was happening. Firstly, i did not dry the insides of the belly button properly. moisture built up and soon bacteria started growing on it. Secondly, i was probably not applying soap to it when i was showering. so my belly button was'nt clean! that's probably wats happening to you, considering that bacteria give out smell during their life processes. Yes, it sounds absolutely disgusting. but its the sad truth. I suggest you dry the insides of your belly button before applying baby powder. it shouldn't be serious. So rest assured. :P
Belly buttons do !! Make sure when you bath or shower you give it a good soap up and rinse properly; but don't poke it about too much !
you might have an infection. Try cleaning it with some cotton wool and some antiseptic - TCP, dettol etc. If it doesnt improve go and see the doctor.
try washing
I had the same problem. If you look closely when you clean it, there's a greyish dirt that contains the smell. It comes from persperation, moisture from showering, and dead skin cells. The dead skin cells trap the moisture causing it to grow fungus or sometimes the skin decays, nothin serious. All you have to do is clean your belly button with soap and dry it thoroughly after you shower. Periodically use alcohol and a cottonswab to clean it out.

Why does it itch so bad when a masquito bites?
Answer:
When a mosquito bites you (it's actually a puncture, not a bite), it first injects a little bit of saliva that contains a chemical that prohibits blood clotting so it can drink without problems. This chemical is a skin irritant to most people and causes a very localized histamine reaction, resulting in swelling, redness and itchiness.
When a mosquito bites, it injects saliva to help the blood clot in you then sucks blood out. The saliva is a poison to your body, so when white blood cells show up to stop the invading poison it results in the itchy feeling.That's my best most educated guess. But I know the saliva being injected part is right lol
Why does it hurt deep?
in your toe, zit, or other stuff that has puss in there? and why does it feel better when the puss is out, what is it that the puss does to your skin that makes it hurt
Answer:
The pus exerts a force/pressure in the area that contains it which is why it hurts. when you take out the pus it is less painful because it doesn't push against your pressure/pain sensors anymore. However this isn't recommended because it may lead to scaring.
The pus is taking up space that was once occupied by other things (tissue, nerves, etc)...so when that space becomes occupied by pus, it puts pressure on those other things and makes it hurt...when the pus is out, it allows the other stuff back to where it belongs.
The collection of white cells (the white junk inside a zit) presses against a nerve and when the zit content is removed the pressure is relieved.

Why does it feel like my lungs literally itch?
Its so irritating! Its on the left side behind my rib cage and I feel like im gonna cry becuase I'm so freaking uncomfortable from it! Just FYI I have a cough that keeps coming back and this feeling comes along with it each time, been to the dr and they give me an antibiotic that helps for the time being and then this coughs rears its ugly head again and the lung itching starts uuuhhhh! Any thoughts?
Answer:
"Itching" of the lungs could be a number of things, some serious and some not. Could it be that you have asthma and don't know about it?.. Or it could possibly be more serious disease known as pleurisy, (an inflammation or possible scarring of the pleura). The Pleura is the lining of the lung and one of the symptoms is itching which feels like its "in" your back near your lungs, I would ask your doctor for an x-ray if it continues to bother you.
do you have any allergies?

Why does it burn when a blood vessel burst in my hand?
I have had several blood vessels pop/break in my hand. When it pops I have a very bad burning sensation in my hand shortly followed by a dark bruise. This has happen several times a couple in my fingers and once in the center of my hand
Answer:
Von Willebrand disease, or vWD, is an inherited disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot properly. Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, affecting as much as 1% of the population or more. When a blood vessel is cut or torn, platelets (small cells that float in the blood) plug the hole in the blood vessel to stop the flow of blood. A substance in the blood known as von Willebrand factor (vWF) helps platelets stick to damaged blood vessels. Another function of von Willebrand factor is to carry the important clotting protein, called factor VIII, in the blood and to the site of the injured blood vessel. People with von Willebrand disease have a problem with the amount or quality of one or both of these blood components. The most common treatment for von Willebrand disease is desmopressin. This medication causes a temporary increase in the von Willebrand factor levels by causing release of vWF from blood vessel storage sites. It can be given intravenously or intranasally (into the nose), but may be ineffective in some Type 2 and all Type 3 patients. Patients with Type 3 (and some Type 2) will need intravenous treatment with Factor VIII concentrates that contains both factor VIII and von Willebrand factor in high molecular weight form. Patients with Type 1 may also require the use of this medication in certain situations, such as major trauma or major surgery although they can generally be treated with desmopressin. No evidence suggests that extensive activity restrictions are necessary for most patients with mild type1 vWD. Patients with more severe forms of vWD should follow guidelines developed for patients with severe hemophilia. Avoid medications with known antiplatelet effects such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Heavy menstrual bleeding can sometimes be controlled with birth control pills. But its still best to consult your doctor and ask him what should you do..

Answer:
Von Willebrand disease, or vWD, is an inherited disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot properly. Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, affecting as much as 1% of the population or more. When a blood vessel is cut or torn, platelets (small cells that float in the blood) plug the hole in the blood vessel to stop the flow of blood. A substance in the blood known as von Willebrand factor (vWF) helps platelets stick to damaged blood vessels. Another function of von Willebrand factor is to carry the important clotting protein, called factor VIII, in the blood and to the site of the injured blood vessel. People with von Willebrand disease have a problem with the amount or quality of one or both of these blood components. The most common treatment for von Willebrand disease is desmopressin. This medication causes a temporary increase in the von Willebrand factor levels by causing release of vWF from blood vessel storage sites. It can be given intravenously or intranasally (into the nose), but may be ineffective in some Type 2 and all Type 3 patients. Patients with Type 3 (and some Type 2) will need intravenous treatment with Factor VIII concentrates that contains both factor VIII and von Willebrand factor in high molecular weight form.

Why does heartburn sometimes come back 1-2 hours after taking an antacid?
There's a new commercial on TV for Pepcid Complete, featuring two guys. One guy takes Pepcid for his heartburn, and it goes away for good. The other guy takes Tums or Rolaids, and he keeps having to take more tablets every few hours because his heartburn keeps coming back.My wife and I usually use Mylanta Supreme liquid when either of us get heartburn. It's not the strongest antacid, but it tastes good and doesn't have any chemicals like aluminum or magnesium. Sometimes, the heartburn goes away for good after one dose. Other times, it will come back an hour or two later - just like in the Pepcid commercial. Does anyone know why heartburn sometimes comes back, even after taking medicine? Any tips on how to keep it from coming back (besides using a stronger medicine)?
Answer:
Pepcid complete is actually a two medicine thing. The first is an antacid that neutralizes acid in the stomach immediately and the second actually shuts off the production of acid. Your heartburn isn't really returning, your stomach is still producing acid, there is just no more antacid to neutralize it. So its not really stronger, but a different type of medication performing a different task.If you have heartburn this bad you really should consider trying pepsid or Prilosec. Don't eat such big meals.
You should know that using any ant-acid product is harder on your system than those selling these products want you to know. Take an honest and thorough evaluation of your diet, the size of the portions you eat and the way it is eaten, in addition to what is being eaten. I've suffered with this same ordeal until I became so tired of dealing with it, I went through the process myself. Within two days I was rid of the constant heartburn. Eating healthy takes into consideration many different aspects of how we consume the foods we need to support a healthy lifestyle.
First off make sure your doctor knows about this, it could be the start of something serious. Prilosec OTC is a great product. You take it once a day and works good. antacid tablets and liquids are not always good to take. Make sure also you don't lie down right after you have eaten a meal. If you wake up during the night with it, try elevating your head and upper back. Again.. if you have heartburn often make sure you talk to a doctor about this.

Why Does He Stay Up?
My dad stays up till between 2am and 4am in the morning...when he has to get up for work at 7:30am..then because he has hardly had any sleep...he gets really grouchy and snappy at me (and my sister)..and moody with my mum...and he looks absolutely dreadful..he also has eczema which he scratches constantly..everyone we can think of has talked to him about it...but he doesn't listen to warnings he never has done.i get worried.because he ended up in hospital with cellulitis the other year and the doctor told him to stop doing what he does because.if it comes back it will be much worse...and it is possible to die from it..he thinks he's 18 and can do what he wants.when the reality of it is that he is 48 and not a spring chicken anymore...he knows how we feel about it...i love him.and i want to know...why does he do it?
Answer:
He could be depressed or something could be playing on his mind. Worry and stress can do this also. Have a chat with this doctor.
sounds a bit like depression...has he seen a doctor?
we ALL need sleep %26 he's obviously not getting enough
Sounds like depression to me, with not a lot of sleep proberly making it worse. Theres not much you can do he needs to help himself (with a trip to the doctors) you could email nhs direct(www.nhsdirect.co.uk) the will email you back maybe they can give you some advice.
Good luck.
well honey im 70 years old and i have sons his age . he is old enough to take care of his self believe me he dosnt want any advice if he dosent listen. he must be hard headed like my sons lol .i love them 2 but they pay me no mind so let him be he will be ok with less stress that could be his problem.
He is not using drugs is he? Like illegal ones. If not he is
probably depressed and should be seem be a Dr. this seems
a little odd. I am the opposite I go to bed very early sometimes 6:30 but I cannot ever sleep past 4am even if I
stay up late.

Why does exercise lower your blood pressure? thanks.?
Answer:
Stronger, well conditioned muscles are more efficient than weaker, poorly conditioned ones, including the heart. They require less oxygen to do the same amount of work.When you use your muscles the need for oxygen increases. This starts the heart to pumping harder and faster. But only a certain amount of blood can travel through the circulatory system at a given time. As this maximum amount is approached a "back pressure" begins due to the resistance in the veins and arteries. Blockages from plaque (cholesterol) can increase the resistance. Thus, an increase of blood pressure is experienced.A stronger, well conditioned heart also pumps blood more efficiently.Exercise improves the muscles efficiency and helps reduce plaque buildup by washing it away slowly over time with the improved blood flow. For more information see the links in the "sources" box below.Sincerely,
TerryI have a question:Did anyone else realize that TICH4592 first said there is no such thing as blood pressure, but then he went on to explain what it is?I am no hydraulic expert but when a fluid is moved through a closed loop, "pressure" is created. When we pump water through a closed pipe system, water pressure is created. When our heart pumps blood through our closed circulatory system, "blood pressure" is created.There's no such thing as "Blood Pressure"? Com'n TICH4592, get real! And you call your self a "Cardiovascular Physicist". Shame, shame, shame and sham, sham, sham!
increases circulation, so that when you are not exercising the heart does not need to pump so hard to get the blood thru your body, it also helps lower weight, less weight, easier for blood to pump around
There is no such thing as "blood pressure", although there are four 'pressures' associated with blood flow round the cardiovascular system.
Here's how it works.
When you exercise, more physical stress requires more blood flow around the vascular system. The greater the stress, the greater cardiac output is required, so (besides dilating the blood vessels to facilitate flow), the brain both increases mean arterial pressure and pulse rate, giving greater output volume at each heart-beat, and more heart-beats per minute. Since pulse-pressure (the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures) is directly proportional to stroke volume, the greater stroke volume increases pulse pressure accordingly.
Since the systolic pressure is mean pressure (and remember, the brain has increased this) PLUS two-thirds of pulse pressure, {Ps = Pm + 2Pp/3} systolic pressure also increases.
So increased exercise means increased systolic pressure, as well as increased mean pressure, all because blood flow has to increase.
Diastolic pressure also increases at the aortic valve, but often this does not show at the brachial artery, (although because of arteriosclerosis) it usually does in the elderly, because a sclerotic arterial system more accurately reflects the pressures generated within the left ventricle.
Sorry if the truth hurts.
How nice to have an intelligent conversation.
There are four pressures, Ps, Pd, Pm, and Pp, each of which behaves differently. The level of each is detemined by a different equation for any cardiac power output, so they do not rise, nor fall 'together' and so can't simply be lumped together and called "the blood pressure".
Firstly, I didn't "explain" what "IT" is; I explained what each did; - quite a diff'rent concept.
I have a question for you. One, the first of 3 readings of what you call "the blood pressure" measured by auscultation at the brachial artery is 160/80. The second is 170/70 - Has "IT" risen? -or has "IT" fallen? And the third one is 150/90..what's happened now? Has "IT" (what you call the "blood pressure) risen? fallen? or what? I'm able to describe to you in detail exactly what's happened.
(Incidentally, they're actual clinical readings taken from a set of records of a 24 hr monitor of a patient). They are crystal clear to me. What do you have, as an explanation?
I repeat: THERE IS NO SUCH PARAMETER AS "THE BLOOD PRESSURE". It exists only in the collective mind of the Medical Industry.
Incidentally, I would observe simply that it is quite obvious that you are no hydraulics expert. It is the pressure gradient caused by pumping that makes the fluid traverse the conduit, not the other way round, as you postulate.
Oh, and incidentally too, there is absolutely not a shred of scientific evidence, in any research texts, that the total peripheral arterial impedance (not 'resistance' -look it up) increases with flow. Quite the opposite. Impedance decreases with increasing flow, because of vasodilatation induced by the brain via the central nervous system.
Why does cow milk trigger my allergies and goat milk does not?
I have never thought much about this, but it seems that cow milk makes me feel sickly, while goat milk (cheeses) actually seems to energize me. Any ideas?
Answer:
they may have different proteins, and in a true allergy, its protein that is the trigger. If you are truly allergic rather than lactose intolerant (in otherwords, if you swell, itch, have trouble breathing, rather than just indigestion) than you may only be allergic to cow's milk protein, and thus would be fine with goat's milk or sheep's milk etc.
lactose
Drink goat milk
alot of times, the allergy is from the form of processed milk you consume. Try Organic milk. My mother in law can only drink Organic milk without any allergic reactions. I myself have noticed that my system is alot better on the Organic Milks.

Why does chocolate cause you to breakout with acne?
Answer:
Chocolate doesn't cause you to break out, the dirt and oil in your skin is what causes you to break out.
this could mean your allergic to chocolate
or there is too much oil in the chocolate and being contributed to your facial features
i think it's because of the caffeine in it.
it's not the chocolate that causes it it's the oil on your hands from the chocolate when you wipe your face
it's the same way with junk food and greasy stuff it's the oil on your hands getting into your pores
that is just a myth. they say that greasy foods do it too... its just how you take care of your skin. i had bad acne for a long time. its not as bad but you can take birth control pills to help with them or i use a green tea soap that dries out your face and helps them, but you only wash your face at the most 2 times a day.
Actually its not a myth. I stopped eatting ice cream and chocolate for a while and my acne started to clear. I dont know why chocolate cause it though..
It doesn't. Hormones and overactive oil glands cause acne.
Yes, you will get acne when you use more oily food. Some tips to prevent acne are to include green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water regularly to flush out toxins. Avoid deep fried snacks. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...
Why does cancer make you sick?
Answer:
Cancer is a type of disease where cells divide uncontrollably and can spread to nearby or distant parts of the body. There are many different types of cancers, and symptoms can vary a lot, but here are some general ideas. If the cancer is interfering with the function of an organ, that can make a person sick. Cancer cells can sometimes secrete substances such as hormones that can make people feel sick. Cancer cells use up a lot of energy and can make people lose weight and feel tired. Cancer can cause pain. Finally, treatments for cancer can make people sick.If you know of a particular type of cancer causing particular symptoms, you might try asking about that, and someone may be able to give you a more specific answer. Hope this helps.
Why does breathing in sheet rock dust cause Cancer?
Answer:
The dust particles stick to your lungs - mesothelioma.
not all steets
I have seen no report that it does so. A pneumoconiosis perhaps, but I have seen nothing on that either.
Why does biodiversity of pathogens cause MSRA and flesh eating disease?
Answer:
These infuriatingly clever bacteria have adapted to protect themselves from destruction by many types of antibiotics. Fortunately, it caught early and treated aggressively, with both MRSA and necrotizing fasciitis, there are still some antibiotics that can often combat it (e.g., Bactrim, Septra).Unfortunately, it may just be a matter of time (particularly if the frightening trend of over inapporpriately prescribing antibiotics to "treat" viral infections continues) until these organisms have adapted themselves to the point that there are NO antibiotics that will kill eliminate them. Bacteria: 1
Humans: 0
MRSA, methlocillyn resistant staph aureus, was a result of too many people not finishing their antibiotics and the bacterium which normally lives on our skin became resistant to all antibiotics.
Flesh eating disease is the result of infection by an anaerobic organism, a whole other ball of wax.
So it isn't really biodiversity that CAUSES these things, it just makes it possible for the organism to exist.
Why does autism exist?
Answer:
No one really knows, that's why they are continously studying it. But you got to remember, even those with autism flourish (look at J-Mac).
Because God wants it to. He want's people to realize that everyone is different, but they're still people. We all have feelings and likes and dislikes. We all can love so love everyone!
Why does a test for diabetes take 3 hours?
My doctor wants to test me for diabetes. why does the test take 3 hours? what will they do to me? What will they use for testing and what is an acceptable range?
Answer:
You go in having fasted for 12 hours. They take a blood sample to see what your fasting blood sugar level is. It should be less than 100 ml/dl. Then you drink the lovely sweet liquid. They draw blood at 1, 2 and 3 hours. At 1 hour it should be less than 180. At 2 hours, less than 155. At 3 hours, less than 145. If any two tests are out of range, you get a positivie diagnosis for diabetes.
make a list of your questions and ask your doctor.
I have diabetes and have taken a test that lasted several hours. I believe they are going to have you drink a VERY sweet cocktail periodically and test you periodically to see how your body (blood) handles the excessive amount of sugar. Hope you do well...Diabetes sucks!
They will test you when you go in. They give you a solution to drink, wait a bit then re-test, then repeat the process. They do that to see hou much your sugar levels vary. I'm not sure what the normal range is.
If it's going to take three hours, then what your doctor is doing is an OGT (oral glucose tolerance) test. This tests not only for diabetes (which can also be tested for by a simple fasting blood sugar) but also impaired glucose tolerance, which is a prediabetic state in which you body can regulate fasting blood sugar levels well, but is starting to loose control of the level of glucose after you eat.
This test is performed first by taking a fasting glucose level (so you have to come fasted, no food for at least 8 hours prior) then you take a precisely metered amount of glucose orally (usually it's a fairly nasty tasting orange slurry concoction) and take another level at 1, 2, and 3 hours (some people take more time points than that or with different timing) after the meal had had time to go through your body. There are cutoffs at each levels, which you can look up on any health related site (they change them every so often, so make sure to get recent ones) and anything above a certain level is considered to be diabetes, however, there is a second, lower cutoff which is considered impaired glucose tolerance
They want to see how sugar effects your body. It takes time for the sugar in your body to build up and they want to see what effect and how much. This is normal. Next time your doctor says something that you are unsure of ask.
They take your blood before you eat and after you eat to see how your glucose (sugar) levels are. You glucose goes up after eating, which is normal, but how much it goes up and how long it stays up is what your doctor is looking for. As far as range it's better for your doctor to discuss this with you.Ask your doctor if he could do an AlC test instead this is one simple blood test that will give you your glucose levels for the past three months, but there my be a reason he wants to do the other test, so listen to what your doctor says. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Why does a stroke patient start to lose bowel control?
Answer:
A stroke does not affect the bowel control unless it affected the spinal cord. The main reason they have accidents is due to the hemiplegia and physically they can not get there or they have cognitve difficulties and does not have the insight to go to the bathroom.
erm generally they dont.i work in a home for the young physically disabled and look after 17 people with strokes,none of them lost bowel control.see your gp. asap.
when presented with hospital bill
It has to do with what part of the brain was effected by the stroke. My Dad just had a stroke, and because the part of the brain that tells his lungs to breath was effected, he now needs help breathing.
maybe nerve damage to sphincter muscle control
Because the portion of the brain which controls the nerves sending signals to the muscles controlling your ability to expel feces (bowel movments) have been damaged by the stroke. It is pretty common problem.

Why does a person feel so tired and worn out after they received a dialysis treatment?
Answer:
The blood is drained from the body and this includes blood vessels supplying blood to the muscles. When the blood is removed from the muscles, they don't recieve oxygen and therefore have to use anaerobic methods to contract by making ATP. Lactic acid is a by product of this anaerobic metabolism and when lactic acid is present in the muscles, they become sore and your brain precieves this as being "tired". As blood is restored to the muscles, higher concentrations of oxygen provide the means for the mitochondria of muscle cells to produce higher amounts of ATP through the krebs cycle. Which eventually allows the removal of the lactic acid(which is the actual pain/tiredness).
Having been hooked up to a machine for several hours, sat doing nothing and having all your blood withdrawn and then returned, what do you expect?
In medicine, dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy which is used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function due to renal failure. It is a life support treatment and does not treat any kidney diseases. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly lost their kidney function (acute renal failure) or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney function (end stage renal failure). When healthy, the kidneys remove waste products (for example potassium, acid and urea) from the blood and also remove excess fluid in the form of urine. Dialysis treatments have to duplicate both of these functions as dialysis (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal).You may have some discomfort when the needles are put into your fistula or graft, but most patients have no other problems. The dialysis treatment itself is painless. However, some patients may have a drop in their blood pressure. If this happens, you may feel sick to your stomach, feel tired, vomit, have a headache or cramps. With frequent treatments, those problems usually go away.
I have been doing dialysis for 3 years so far. This is my third time on dialysis. I have had 2 failed transplants.Dialysis is a life-sustaining therapy and without it I would be dead within a week. Dialysis replaces my kidneys (I have none). It removes all the poisons or waste products that build up in my body (potassium, sodium, phosphorus, etc) as well as excess fluid.Many people think that because we just sit there and have our blood cleaned we have no business being tired afterwards. Well think of it this way, during the time we are sitting there ALL of our blood is being removed, cleaned and returned. During that time, we are also having excess fluid removed that we accumulated on our days off. As a result, our blood pressures drop and they can drop excessively. When that happens we can suffer painful muscle spasms, vomiting, headaches, burning in the pits of our stomachs or we could lose consciousness.Also, a lot of dialysis patients are anemic or severely anemicSo, if you combine all those factors, it's no wonder we are tired and worn out after a treatment.Alicia - These symptoms don't always go away with frequent treatments. I do dialysis 3 times a week and every treatment brings another side effect. The most common being a drop in blood pressure.
because your body has gone Thur a long and intense treatment. i would feel like sleeping all day after my treatments. just think that you just had all your blood taken out and cleaned and put back into you it is rough on you physical and mentally
Why does a panadol fix a fever!! ??
i was just really wondering that.
Answer:
LOL! Panadol is so damn bad and bitter, that fever cannot stand it and it just leaves!

Why Does A Bladder Infection Causes Diabetes Like Symptoms?
Why Does A Bladder Infection Causes Diabetes Like Symptoms?
Answer:
Irritation of the bladder and urethra makes you pee more often......it does not, however, make you pee large volumes of the urine which is the case in Diabetes.
Bladder infections never caused diabetes symtoms to me. You need to get checked out by a doctor.
Bladder infections cause urinary frequency. One of the symptoms of diabetes is peeing a lot, which is how the kidneys try to excrete all that glucose.
I have diabetes.but I dont think it is like a bladder infection...unless your thinking when your undiagnosed your thirsty and pee alot? Ive had a UTI and I definately did not want to pee...ever again

Why does a 5 year old go to the bathroom in his under ware?
Answer:
Seriously? More informaiton would be helpful... Just at night, during the day, urinating and bowel movements?I'm assuming this isn't a new situation. If it is and he has been using the toilet just fine until now, then you may want to talk to his doctor to rule out urinary tract or bladder infection. Also there could be psychological factor if there has been anything stressful happening. If it isn't a new situation, then keep reading.The most common situation is with boys wetting the bed. They lack total control of the muscle used to keep urine in the bladder and sleep so soundly that they don't wake up to go. It's actually very common for parents to wake up their son 3 or 4 hours after he goes to sleep so he can go on the toilet and then let him go back to bed. Many boys can then hold it the rest of the night; however, some have to be woken up again 3 or 4 hours after that. It may be easier to put a pullup on for the night.If it's during the day, it could just be that he is too busy to stop what he's doing to use the bathroom. Some kids think they will miss out on something if they take a break, so they wet their pants, but most don't put that much thought into it. They just are too busy.If you are talking about bowel movements, it could be that he isn't completely "potty trained", or "poop trained" as many parents call it. Most kids find it harder to have a bowel movement in the toilet because the pressure is different and they aren't relaxed. It's almost as if they don't know how to do it sitting down. Give him a stool to put his feet on so he can apply the right amount of pressure. Then put a stack of books he likes next to the toilet so he has something to do other than just sit there.Hope this helps.
cuz he's 5. and i need pts cuz i just got a question deleted.
Why do your cheeks turn red when you blush?
Answer:
It is due to the sudden release of adrenalin, which causes your heart to pump faster and blood rushes all over. Your cheeks have thinner skin than other areas of your body and hence turn red quicker and are more noticeable.
some chemicals in your body.
In short It is because your blood is rushing to your face.
The blood rushes to the skin on your face.
Because you have a lot of blood vessels in your butt.
Why do you think there is now a higher incidence of autism than ever before?
I understand the statistics are 1 out of every 166 children, or something astronomical like that. It doesn't seem like it was that high when I was a child (I'm 31 now). What are your hypotheses?
Answer:
The reason is the expansion in the mid 90's of the diagnostic requirements. Many who were previously diagnosed as mentally retarded or schizophrenic or other developmental delays now fall on the autistic spectrum. So there's nothing contributing to this increase other than shuffling of the diagnoses. In fact, there's been a proportional decrease in the above mentioned conditions to the increase in autism. Everyone loves a conspiracy, so vaccines have been blamed...but there isn't any science to back up these claims. It's been tested over and over, and over.
better awareness and people are more aware of it especially medical people and better equipment and science to detect it!!
there is a link between the shots that children get when they are 18 months. It is linked to autism. If you ask your doctor they will say its b/c of the preservatives in the shots and they use preservative free..or something like that. But there is a link between the shot and autism. They will never ever say this is true though. My doctor is the one who told me this and she had me wait on one of my daughters shots until she was older. They will never admit this could you imagine the hysteria.
There has been lots of attention given to the possibility that autism is 'caused' by immunizations that young children get in their regular schedule.I've read studies and studies and I think it more likely that rate increases (if there are rate increases) are caused by the fact that that there is a longer life expectancy, so that autism can be diagnosed and statistics amended.It seems that genetic, delivery, harmful substances taken during pregnancy are potential culprits.
ASD/Asperger's/autism are tested now at a young age. 31 yrs ago, it was practically unknown.
My 5 yr old has ASD. He was diagnosed prior to getting all his shots and I had an easy, uncomplicated pregnancy. Even though it is not proven, I think it is more genetic. while researching, my husband noticed a lot of autistic characteristics in himself when he was a child.

Why do you think drinking plenty of fluid would reduce blood potassium level?
Answer:
Classically, we get concerned about sodium dilution when a person drinks too much water. You've probably heard the term, "water intoxication" associated with that condition. When too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid. Excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration. As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drop. Another way cells try to regain the electrolyte balance is for water outside the cells to rush into the cells via osmosis. Although electrolytes (which include potassium, sodium, etc.) are more concentrated inside the cells than outside, the water outside the cells is 'more concentrated' or 'less dilute' since it contains fewer electrolytes. Both electrolytes and water move across the cell membrane in an effort to balance concentration...thus the potential for potassium levels to be affected...along with other electrolytes.
Why do you tan faster with moist skin?
Answer:
For the same reason you should wear sunglasses on a cloudy day...almost. The suns rays are magnified by the water, giving your skin more sun exposure. Just like clouds are made out of water, also magnifying the rays and doing more harm than a sunny day.
h2o magnifies solar radiation

Why do you start breaking out in your teens?
Why don't small children have acne? Why does it hit you when you're 14 - 19?
Answer:
this is because when you hit purberty, your body is raging with hormones and these hormones cause you to break out, because they tell the body to produce more oil than is nesseccary, ect.
Acne is a response to the onset of puberty. It is caused by hormones in your body and is completely natural. It can run past age 19, though. You can have pimples/breakouts way into your 40's. It isn't as likely and is usually cared for by a dermatologist.

Why do you smoke ciggaretts?
Answer:
I don麓t because ...
茅 muito ruim para a sa煤de
= Translation =
= heargh!
i dont
i don't
I WOULD NEVER SMOKE!!!!!! I feel very strongly about this.
actually i don't. but people who do are usually addicted, which means that they feel like they need the nicotine in tobacco
im addicted
I don't
I DONT
Well, I don't smoke but these are some reasons why some people do:
1) They think it makes them look cool and fit in,
2) They keep their weight off or lose weight,
3) Peer pressure from friends, family, or even clubs that they are in.
4) They want to be like their role model, who might smoke.Those are just a few reasons people might smoke. I hope that answers your question! :)
I started smoking back in the very early 70s when it was cool.well now its not so cool, I have spent the last year trying to stop..it is the hardest thing I have had to do..its a drug, and so for the rest of my life I will have cravings from time to time.oh well.so be it. But I will not let it get the best of me in the end. Or it will be my end because smoking KILLS very slowly. Summer
When I was 16, I started dating this really cute girl who smoked. I had always enjoyed the smell of cigarettes, and when we started going out, I started smoking smoking. I thought it was really cool. I'm 18 now, and still smoke, even though that particular girl has been out of the picture.
I am totally addicted.
don't
Why do you retain water when you have renal failure?
my friends dad is going through renal failure and he told me that his legs are swollen because of water retention.
he was also talking about high blood pressure .can someone explain to me why this all happens??
Answer:
The kidneys are made up of lots of tiny filters/sieves that clean and filter all of the blood in your body. Normally, 100% of the filters are working. But if some of the filters are damaged and only, say, 20% of them are working, the body tries to compensate for this by increasing the blood pressure so it can force more blood through the 20% that are left. This is why blood pressure goes up when kidneys fail - because the body is trying to force all the blood through the few filters that are still working.
Because the filters aren't working, the body also isn't able to get rid of as much sodium in the urine as it usually would. As the level of sodium builds up in the body, water stays behind as well and this excess water causes swelling of the legs and ankles.
Best wishes for your friends Dad!
Renal failure means that the kidneys are failing. The kidneys are responsible for flushing all of the toxins out the body and cleansing the blood. When the kidneys fail, the body can't do this. The body begins to retain fluid and common places are the feet, legs, and hands. The excess fluid raises the blood pressure because the heart has to work a lot harder to pump the blood through the body.
Renal failure means that the kidneys are shutting down. That means they are not getting rid of the fluids through urination and because of it the fluids are staying in the body and going else where. ankles legs where ever. When you retain water/fluids your blood pressure also goes up. That is why when you have high blood pressure they also put you on a diuretic so it helps to get rid of excess fluids.
when you have renal failure your kidneys are not filtering the toxins out of your body. when i had failure i stopped peeing all together. that is why you go on dialysis to filter out the toxins out of your body.he could ask his doctor to give him lasic, that will help the swelling. that is just part of renal failure.

Why do you pick on Tourette Syndrome?
This is one of my many videos of Tourette Syndrome. Please watch it before you answer the question, thanks.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wzomldvetck...
Answer:
Education is the key to this disorder. Once we learn about Tourettes and also learn what it is NOT, the mystery disappears and the stigma will follow. Great video Jamie Grace! Blessings to you. Keep up the good work.People can learn more here:http://www.tsa-usa.org
congratulations to you on taking a stand for something that you believe in.
My answer is that I think people always mock the things that they don't understand. It's a way of hiding their fear. People mock the fat, the thin, the black, the white, the clever, the stupid, etc etc.
Why don't you take that and make it positive, as in, the more tourettes is seen in the media, the more people will be motivated to learn about it, and the fear will go away, and therefore the mockery...
good luck to you.
well, the video says it all, people are screwed up. usually making fun of others makes people feel better about themselves. and those people have issues.
People make fun of things they do not want to or try to understand. I have two children who are handicapped and they get made fun of all the time and I tell them to ignore it because people do not take the time to try to understand the handicap.
I suffer Tourette's %26 it's not easy. People think I fake it on purpose, just to excuse myself from getting in trouble, but I really can't help it.
because there is so many people out there that do not understand what it is.

Why do you not get cancer of the heart....?
..or at least, I've never heard of it. Does anyone know?
Answer:
think u can!!got this from googleYes. However, heart cancer is extremely rare. The vast majority of heart tumors are noncancerous (benign). A 20-year review of 12,487 consecutive autopsies in Hong Kong identified only seven cases of cardiac tumor 鈥?an incidence of less than 0.1 percent 鈥?most of which were benign. Benign tumors of the heart include myxomas, fibromas, rhabdomyomas and hamartomas. Cancerous (malignant) tumors of the heart are most often sarcomas. Occasionally, cancer can spread to the heart, such as from lymphomas that originate in the structures of the chest near the heart. Other cancers that can spread to the heart include melanomas and sarcomas. Treatment of heart tumors is surgical removal.Cancer can affect the heart in other ways, such as causing damage to the heart valves (marantic endocarditis) or stiffening of the heart muscle (cardiac fibrosis). Cancer treatments can also affect the heart. Certain chemotherapy drugs 鈥?such as anthracyclines, high-dose cytoxan, 5-FU, taxanes, herceptin and IL-2 鈥?can damage the heart. Radiation therapy directed at or near the heart can cause damage to the heart muscle and increase the risk of coronary artery disease later in life.
Probably because the heart is just muscle, and cancer grows on organs or tissues usually. Just a guess!
the heart takes enuff abuse with love lol
i guess its a special organ .
i heard a researcher saying that cancer is not a disease, dont chuck this out.
read it fully.
anyways what happens is that once there is a trauma to a region of the body the body requests the repair of that part.but cancer happens when the brain doesnt send out the signal to stop once when fully repaired.as you can see lung cancer is higher among smokers as smoke damages the lungs.. so a repair intiative happens that fails..
similarly ulcers, in mouth stomach.. and everyother region.where as the heart unlike the head is very much protected by the ribs and its pretty safe from most trauma other than extended use and fat buildup...
so there is no need to repair what aint damaged.
so thats the reason that cancer doesnt occour in heart. although it seems there are occourances but less than a handful of them
The heart can get cancer, but it is extremely rare. Angiosarcoma (also called hemangiosarcoma) is a blood filled tumor occuring in soft tissue. Here is a link if you want to learn more.http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic138.ht...
I have never heard of heart cancer is it rare.
Cancer of the heart muscle called angiosarcoma do occur but are rare n occur more often in children n more often on the right side of the heart.Cancers like melanoma can spread to the heart.This cancerous spread is called metastasis. Moreover cancer is said to occur more commonly in tissues which have actively dividing cells like the bone marrow, skin, etc. Since the heart cells are essentially non-dividing, it can be said that, that is the cause of heart cancer being so rare.
i think i might have the answer.cancer is the overgrowth of cells in our body. and this only apply to those cells which have the capability to regenaerate, of course. and in our body as a whole, we have 2 types of cells - the one which can regenerate like skin cells and the one which cannot regenerate such as cells in the brain and heart.our heart consists of muscles called myocardia. and whenever we don't have the sufficient oxygen supply, then this muscles will be damaged - they will suffer from ischemia or necrosis. once the heart is damaged, the cells cannot regenerate to replace the damaged ones, instead the damaged area is replaced by fibrous tissu or scar tissue.so, based on this fact, i think that's why there' no heart cancer. heart doesn't even has the cells that can be a good potential to be the source of abnormal growth. =) yeah, since our heart cannot regenerate ~ well, that's what i think.and just FYI, the brain too doesn't have cells that can regenerate but stil we can have cancer in the brain. why is that? that's because our brain also composed of supporting cells, the glial cells, apart from the brain cells itself (neurons). this glial cells can regenerate whenever they are damaged and thus becoming the potential source for cancer growth.
One can. My boss died from it. Started in a lung and spread to his heart. Dead 6 weeks after diagnosis.
Its possible to, but I have never heard of anyone having it.

Why do you lose weight without changing your diet w/ diabetes 2?
Answer:
When blood sugar is uncontrolled, the nutrients you eat do not fuel your cells; instead they build up in the blood as glucose which is filtered out into the urine. This can cause weight loss. Additionally, eventually, the body begins to break down fatty acids for fuel and this also causes weight loss.Sugar does not "eat away" at your muscles.The person above me is leading you to a scam. Beware.
the sugar in your blood starts to eat away at your muscles cells after it has completely ate away at all your fat cells and this is also why some ppl lose body parts,,,b%26#92;c their sugars go to high
for controlling diabetes. Better you must visit this site http://thediabeteszone.com/
Not everyone does. Some people like me have to constantly struggle just to maintain my weight and not gain. As you get older your metabolism comes to a screeching halt making it difficult at best to lose weight.
it depends on your blood sugar levels
Why do you have to wait 24 hours to give Neulasta after administration of chemotherapy?
Answer:
Neulasta is what is known as a granulocyte colony stimulating factor. It works by stimulating the bone marrow cells to divide more rapidly to increase the number of white blood cells which are introduced into the circulation.Chemotherapy works by disrupting mechanisms required for cells to divide. It is taken up by all the cells in the body which are actively dividing. Normally, cancer cells are more rapidly dividing that normal cells, and they take up more of the chemotherapy, but normal cells will also take it up giving some of the side effects. Your bone marrow cells are also affected by the chemotherapy and this is what causes the white blood cell count to go low in the first place. So, if you give Neulasta before the chemotherapy, you have just set up your bone marrow cells to be killed more by the chemotherapy as they are now more actively dividing. Hope this helps
I don't know.
I never asked questions, I just did it.
Why do we get pain in our sinuses? need ab?
Answer:
If the sinus cavities fill with fluid or infection, the pressure can cause pain over the areas that are involved. There are many sinus products over-the-counter, usually and antihistamine with a decongestant. The antihistamine reduces the amount of histamine fluid build up, and the decongestant thins out the tissues to make it easier to breath and relieve pressure.
Most products us a combination of generic Chlor-Trimeton (chlorpheniramine maleate) and an ephedrine product, so now you have to ask at the pharmacy for them - they're kept behind the counter.
Your question, need ab? It the mucous discharge is clear, white, antibiotics wouldn't help. If the discharge is dark yellow to greenish, then antibiotics would help the infection.
Maybe you have a sinus infection.
Why do toenails turn yellow?
Answer:
Not enough fresh air, that is, always having feet "shut up" in shoes, or wearing nail varnish for too long a period.
Fungus or bacteria on them
Toenail funges.
nail infection people have to see a doctor and they give u medicine to clear it up
It can be from bacteria or fungus, but it can also be a condition where the nail has grown back extra thick. You need to see a podiatrist in order to have it checked out.
Fungus. The fungus can eventually cause damage.At night, smother yourtoes and feet with a mixture of half water and half grapefruit seed oil. Then don't walk on them or touch them for at least an hour, or until the liquid completely dries.Do this every night for ten days, and see if it helps. It shouldn't hurt, and will certainly cost less than treatment from a doctor.One way to kill fungus is to smother it, to cut off its oxygen supply.
Mine don't. I wash my feet though...don't you wash yours?
toenails turn yellow when there is fungus underneath the nail you need an anti fungal cream or spray lotrimin af is good but there are generics out there that are cheaper ask the pharmist and they will be able to help you locate the products and ways to prevent it from coming back my friends paint their toenails and they don't turn yellow some little germy got under there and made your toenail its home
It is probably afungal infection. You need to the doctor for a prescription. The other at home remedy that you can try is Vicks vapor rub. Apply to the nail 2 times a day. if you can't go to the doc this may help.
Why do they chlorify the swimming pool water?
If it's not chlorified, what kind of diseases would spread?
Answer:
Chlorine as known as Bleach (obviously) is used to to prevent all types of growth in the water of pools. It has a wide spectrim of coverage...such as Alge, Prevents mosqitoe's egg growth, Parasites such as Cryptosporidium, as well as Bacteria.
hence many types of disease could be spread if chlorine was not used...Crytosporsosis, Staph infections, to name a couple.
Chlorine does not directly prevent diesease. Chlorine is added to so that things that usually grow in water will not be able to survive. Mainly it algae and thus water animals that live off algae.
im not sure of disease as such but the water will turn a green colour and bread tadpoles and frogs to become clear water again simply chlorifiey and you have clear water

Why do some zits squeeze easily, while others have to be dug out with fingernails?
Answer:
I wouldn't suggest you "dig" out your zits.. sounds like it could leave some nasty scars.
Now to answer your question, all zits are not alike. The pore that is more easy to squeeze has its bacteria, oil, dirt that is clogging it very near the surface. However, other zits have their bacteria deeper within your skin. So don't even try popping those. You will end up bleeding and possibly scarring yourself.
Heres a tip to make popping easier (although I personally don't recommend popping your pimples unless it is absolutely necessary)-- take a washcloth and soak it in warm to hot water (not to hot!). Squeeze out the excess water and gently lay it on top of your face. Let the steam sink into your pores-- this will open them as well as pull the pus from the pimples outward. Doing so will make popping your pimples much easier.
yuck!!!!!!!!!!...
eeeewwwww
no idea. be careful of scarring though!
Why do some people's blood veins poke out of there arm ?
I have noticed it's usually found on guys
Answer:
Some because they have low amount of fat. Some others because their muscle demand more oxygen (weight-lifters) so the veins (and arteries) enlarge to transport nutrients more efficiently.
tends to be in fitter people - they have less fat under the skin, which normally hides/covers veins.
My son is a runner, i notice his arm veins bulge after a long run.
they could have high blood pressure
i aint sure why, and wonder that myself,, i am a pretty large lady and no one can find a vein in my arm, when i get my blood drawn, and they always have to use the top of my hand,, it may have to deal with how much fat a person has,, not real sure
My boyfriend and I are both this way.He is very fit and lean. There's not much fat on his body, so his veins are directly under the skin as opposed to hidden under the fat.Mine stick out because I'm naturally very skinny and have no fat on my arms.So the basic answer is because there's not any fat to keep the veins concealed.
I'm going with low body fat index. My veins stick out and I'm on the light side, do not have high blood pressure, in fact mine is on the low side of that. I've always been kinda scrawny and always had visible veins, never had a problem giving blood, ha, ha.

Why do some people have very oily skin yet they dont have acne?
im in high school and i see alot of kids that have more oily skin than me and they rarely get acne. i mean acne is caused by overproducing oil so how do they not get acne and i do?
Answer:
Yes, oily skin is not the only factor to cause acne, another factors is nutrition, stress, life style, etc...Read nice articles on acne, stress and foods :- It's true - stress makes teens break out, study shows, the link : http://www.acneskin123.com/its-true-stre... out.php- Is sugar linked to acne, how about dairy foods, check the answer here : http://www.acneskin123.com/acne-diet-lin...- Taking Care of Acne Prone Skin, the link : http://www.acneskin123.com/taking-care-o...- Nutrition to Fight Acne, the link : http://www.acneskin123.com/nutrition-to-...Hope this helps.
Acne can also be caused by dirt and clogged pores, so as long as they keep their faces clean, they shouldn't have too much trouble with acne.
I have oily skin but no acne. But I do have blackheads that I have to go for a facial every month. What helped me was cleansing twice a day (morning and night), drinking lots of water, eating more fruits and vegetables, and basically keeping my system healthy and free from toxins.I get pimples once in a while but I don't pick on them or touch them. And I make sure that I don't touch my face unless my hands are clean. Oh, and getting enough sleep is important too.
If the kids you see with "oliy skin" in school don't have
acne, then you might just be mistaking sweat for oil.
A lot of people can have very active sweat glands, but
that does not necessarily mean they're acne-prone.

Why do some people have orange palms?
I ahve seen some people who have natural skin tones, except for their palms, they seem to have a carrot orange tinit to them.
Answer:
It could possibly be that they are applying a self-tanner, which can turn the palms orange, but not the rest of the skin.
They probably eat a lot of cheetos
The first answer said it all.I initially thought it was from eating and drinking a lot of carrots and carrot juice, but that only affects the fingernails.

Why do some people get mosquito bites and others dont even though both people?
get bit by them?
Answer:
well, my biology professor once told our class that it's the female mosquitoes that bite because they need a tiny bit of blood to keep their eggs warm. Supposedly the liquid they leave under the skin is a type of anesthetic to numb you and also it makes you itchy because it's to alert your body of that spot so it can be healed. Oh! and he also said that they bite some ppl more than others b/c they sense for the warmest blood. I'm not entirely sure that this is completely correct but it's what i was told. lol
I was told they are attracted to some more than others
Well some people are just more attracted to them than others so some will get more mosquito bites than others its pretty simple.VOTE BEST ANSWER =)
mosquitoes are attracted to the white skin people than the darken. that's the law here in costa rica on those little creatures. why... don't know'
Your question was going well, until the last line! If both get bitten, then they both have bites!! DUH. Perhaps you meant why they effect some more than others. That would depend on how vulnerable a persons immune system is. The weaker the immune system, the more the bite will effect you.
They don't bite me, I don't know why. My friends camping with me used to hate that. It's not my fault. Iraq was the same way. One of my friends covered his head with a shirt. When he woke up, the little circle of forehead that was exposed had MANY bites on it. Was quite funny because he was so narcistic. I, however, didn't cover up and had not one bite... ever.
i get bit by them and get huge bumps my bf gets bit and not a thing. my daughter is the same as her dad. also if you eat banana's you are more likely to get bit

Why do some people eyes stay wide open when they are unconscious or after they are dead?
Answer:
No purposeful muscle control.
Maybe rigor mortis. Not enough energy to power the muscles that close the eyelids
Because they forgot to close their eyes while becoming unconscious or while dying
Becausee the muscles stop working, and that's why you usually see on the shows that people close the eyes. Because then if they have their eyes wide open, well ,it's a little bit creepy.
Because they struggled to stay alive or concious?
Why do seizures end and last only a short time?
Why do the symptoms of epilepsy go away after only a short period of time?
Answer:
there are so many different types of seizures, some are over in a heartbeat, and some last for minutes, if not hours (there is a condition called status epilepticus where you are in continuous seizure). the actual seizure is only part of what is going on, a lot of people who experience seizures have an "aura" beforehand, something that occurs before the seizure, then there's the post ictal stage after the seizure, where you are lethargic. some times only drugs stop the seizure.
Then that is lucky, because some seizures can last for a very long time.
This is not always true, It all depends on what type of seizure you have grand mall or petit mall the petit mall seizure are not as bad as grand mall seizures.Francine
They don't all last for a short time, some can last for a longer time.

Why do scars never go away?
Answer:
scares do go away... only problem is we don't live long enough for it to heal, same as being paralized, your nerves heal but it takes like 150 years for it to heal.We also around 33 stop reproducing cells quickly enough to heal stuff.
The same reason if you key a car you get a huge scratch, it'll never go away unless you paint over it. You can get operations done to remove the scar, it works well I heard.
Because permanent damage has been done to the skin tissue.
I don't know...but if you ask my husband they are "cool" ;o). If you do want to get rid of them, when you first get hurt, use vitamin E, that is supposed to help.
why do birds sing so gay?
why do we fall in love?
because your skin slowly heals
Why do red heads have such fair skin and get lots of freckles of everywhere?
no offense to any red heads, i just seriously wanna know..
Answer:
to understand this, you need to know what genetics are and how they work, ill try to keep it simple so that others with no minimun genetics knowledge can follow.a strain of genetics does not only state one particular trait, infact, one strain can state the colour of your skin colour and also the type of ears (looped or unlooped) one will have.reseach has shown that certain traits like to stick together, like, blonds are more likely to have blue eyes. Just like this,
people that have red hair are more likly to have freckles.Once again, this is a very simple explanation, im trying not to make it to complicated
becos they make better lovers
It's the irish blood. Irish or scottish mostly.
