Occassionally i have a sharp throbbing headache on the forehead area and it is so bad that it affects my vision i start to have blurry vision and i can't think straight as if am confused. I get sensitive to strong odours and light. Sometimes i become so nauseas and feel so weak. Sometimes my mouth and hands become numb I don't know what it is and I do not know what to take since it is becoming a recurring problem.

I get these clumps of little white hairs that grow, from areas on my sides and stomach right above pubic area, usually out of stretch marks. If I do not pull them they tend to in-grow and have even gotten so bad as to cause me to get a staph infection. The hair clump looks like feathers, with a single hair base, with a solid white base, and then usually several hairs no longer than 1/4" all held together at the base. I'm concerned that I will get another infection if I don't manage to find them in time. The only way I am able to locate them is to just run my fingers over the skin on my stomach and sides feeling for a slight flesh colored bumps. What are these? Can they be prevented?

I am a male 45yrs old who likes to removal all my body hair. I tried to ask my doctor about it but he looked horrified and it was a humilating experience. I don't like shaving and waxing and have looked at laser hair removal but the only nearest clinic is to expensive. I don't seem to be able to forget about it.

I started my first course of Nordette contraception. Some say that I will be protected after 7 active pills ( yellow ones) and others-say that I should wait for 14 days. If I have intercourse and I have taken the active pills for about 8 days, would I be Protected against falling pregnant. Please can u assist?.... Thank you...

Hello, I'm karen. I hope this is the right bulletine to talk about health problem. I have a symptom of gas leak. It's been over 8years. I'm always in trouble with social life activity. Because of Bad smell. Who likes it. Even me hate it. I understand people's avoiding. Anyway I decide not to live like this in forward life. I've gone and seen to so many doctors but they just say " It is not a disease, just a symptom. " I can not take it. And I can not wait anymore. I do excercise everyday over an hour at least. And I don't have constipation. Also I never had any hurt with my bowls and anal. I never feel any sign until gas comes out of my anal. Even it is in my stomach. Also I can not force gas not to come out. Gas is out of my control. How can I get out of this hell? It is a living hell. I can not work at an office with co-workers, I can not go to the movies. Let me know please.

Hi, Im having two white coloured pimples type on my penis.Intially only one was there now it became two .it is not on the penis head. Im very much worried about this ,Please suggest what kind of problem is this..Is it better to consult with an Urologist ??
Posted by Chris on 29/01/2011 at 12:35
have a small swollen bump on the head of my penis(near opening urethra hole). I have had it for several months and it is not painful but is worrying concerning it getting more reddish. It all started with small tiny flesh on the top of the penis head, along the upper-side adjoining the skin. This red swollen thingy on head of my penis is getting more severe when I took exotic seafood. Could it be cured by anti-inflammatory drugs or it requires small sugery ?

I have been experiencing something that I think is unusual and have been watching it to see if it goes away, gets better, or gets worse. Well during the past few weeks, I have noticed that there is black spot on my left breast nipple. At times when I would look at it and squeeze the nipple, more of it would come out. At times there is probably as much as a size of a pencil eraser then at other times there isnt as much. Before experiencing this, I had a rash that was all over my breasts and it was itching and uncomfortable. I talked to a family member who is a nurse and they told me to use hydrocortisone cream, to help with the itching and irritation. This did help and the rash went away. However, I still have one spot that is still there. And it also happens to be on my left breast, the same one that has the black liquid that comes out of my nipple when squeezed. So if you have any advice please feel free and let me know. Thanks so much, smalley19

hi....i am a 16 years old teenage boy. I had this itching under my foreskin 1 month after i had sex. Now it stopped but there seems to be small red bumps under my foreskin and a little bit on my penis head. It doesn't itch or anything but i don't feel comfortable knowing its there. I am very scared about this. I hope it is not STD. Any advice of what it may be?

About 10 years ago, about time for ejuculation it felt like an obstruction in my penis. The seminal fluid flowed out, yet there was no feeling as previously. As time went by, it got worse with practically no feeling of enjoyment, greater difficulty in reaching a climax where to the point that now, it's impossible to reach a climax at all. The desire for intercourse is as strong. Is it age related or some type of damage incured 10 years ago?

Hi, recently about 3 weeks ago I noticed that there was a lump in the skin of my scrotum. I hadnt noticed it before and it much resembles the size of a mosquito bite. A few days prior, I had sex, but I do not think that was the cause as there are no other reactions. Its been a while now and it has not gone away, it pea sized and feels like a cyst. It has the consistency almost of a sort of hard mass in the scrotal skin not attached to anything. It is noticeable from the outside of the skin. What is it and how can I fix it?-Thanks

im a lesbian in a relationship obviously with another woman. All the talk on "issues" on the net seem to be about same sex partners. I need help! My girlfriend has a problem and is too shy to talk to a doctor about it. Shes an a very "wet" girl. She constantly has stains in her panties that are thick and yellowish ( i noticed this doin our laundry) its thick crusty and yellow. And when we have sex she is always SOAKED in fluids. soaked to the point where my entire hand and air get wet (way more than the average woman!!!) the bed gets soaked sometimes even the blakets... and theyre ALWAYS a strong vaginal odour during and definately after sexual activity.And when i have my fingers in her i can feel that her vaginal fluids are thicker than anything ive ever experience! She showers every morning before work and after work. so i know its not a cleanslyness issue. WHAT IS WRONG???
