Acne breakouts can happen at stressful times due to hormonal changes that increase the secretion of sebum from the pores, clogging them and causing pus to accumulate. It can also happen when the normal bacteria that lives on your skin gets out of hand and over-colonizes, leading to infection. Most over-the-counter acne…

Make-Up application. Lovely.

I'm all for this sort of thing. I always order the same thing at restaurants and when I don't have someone around to cook for me...I eat the same everyday. And I make left-over....so i can it all again and again. "D - Mharren

A rant is always good! Pounds aren't the only 'weight' that needs to come off sometimes, so does the emotional weight. It is not easy for most people to drop weight whenever they want and it is even harder to drop weight when you are already close to your ideal BMI interval. People that are admitted to the hospital…

When we want to hike up the caloric intake of patients we do it either by IV feeds or through their diet (in the hospital). A good way to up your caloric intake is to eat food that have more complex proteins and sugars. Carbohydrates are complex sugars that get broken down into smaller and smaller units until they become…

IBS is sadly just an umbrella diagnosis we apply to gastrointestinal disorders for which we cannot find empirical causes for. We generally just theorize about it. I myself have this issue as well as intermittent colitis. Generally patients are advised to increase their fiber intake to help bulk up stool, as well as prevent…

Uh....depends on the type of headache really. If you feel pulsating sensations, see spots, or experience anything 'pressure-ish'....you need to stop and see a physician. These are signs of strokes or pre-existing aneurysms in runners that just haven't blown yet. If you have feelings like this or have in the past see your…

I've had unexpected reactions when I've been thin. I lost weight and was showered with compliments and male attention and all the things I thought I wanted....but I was disgusted by it, and by them. I mean the compliments were nice, I heard "Stunning' a lot. But I'm Ukrainian, we're pretty, especially if we're slim, but…

I actually answered you.... "It is absolutely possible, in fact, it is likely, especially at the beginning of a heat wave. While it is true that your body does increase the amount of sweat secreted to try and cool your body when it is hot, there is also a hormonal reaction that is triggered to retain water by sending more…

Just like a healthy body needs exercise....it needs rest. Any exercise will raise your blood pressure which can make the swollen blood vessel nets that are responsible for your hemorrhoid worse, not to mention sweat irritating your rash. Take some time to rest. The sooner you rest, the sooner you get better. Feel better…

I broke my L1-L4 failing a back handspring when I was 16 and have osteoarthritis from my Lumbar through to my coccyx. I have a congenital connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome that causes me to be overly flexible, which was good back in the gymnastics days, but sucks now, cause my joints are all too lax…

This is an iffy question we get all the time. If you really want to know how likely it is as the cause, then when your in to see your physician ask if he'll pull up the side-effect stats in his CPS or PDR (Canada or US). The statistic is minute, because its not conclusive. Sort of like how anti-depressants 'seem to cause…

Hopefully this isn't too lude, thats not my intention. I was having a little difficulty uh....self-handling, AS effectively as before while laying on my stomach. Just sumthin in the way... /blush - Mharren

Stress does increase cortisol which leads to heightened metabolism. Short answer. But there are two kinds of 'stress'. DIstress and EUstress. Stress is really a term that refers to pressures that affect the homeostatic balance of the body. It can come from positive or negative things, but the affect is the same on a…

If this phenomena started with a recent, drastic diet change it can be your hormones adjusting to changing leptin, ghrelin, and insulin levels. The thing with nutrition when it gets down to molecules, is that it all gets broken down into the same base units. It's possible that you're missing a base unit that you were…

Unwaxed chest.

Oh this. If you've been using condoms as well you're likely fine. But blood-captured pregnancy test is in order for anyone affected by this. Yikes.

If there is no fever and no respiratory symptoms than a mild to moderate, low-impact cardiovascular-oriented activity for a shorter period of time than usual should be fine, but pay attention to your body and what its telling you. If it says quit. quit. If you need to go to a gym or other place where there are multiple…

I've had cosmetic surgery; a breast reduction when I was 18. I was very satisfied with the results, though I do wish I had taken a picture of my breasts before the operation because I don't remember what they looked like. I have put off an abdominoplasty because my weight has not been stable. My weight is always a…

I assume this is one of those 'energy shot' products you can purchase as convenience stores and what not? I don't personally or professionally recommend them. Caffeine and other legal stimulants work on the brain the same way illegal and prescription stimulants do. It seems to me that companies are trying to market…

Body Dysmorphia is a psychiatric condition that is similar somewhat to visual distortion. That's why when you see pictures meant to illustrate the condition it is often shown as a thin girl looking into a mirror and seeing a very large girl, or a muscular man looking into a mirror and seeing a very thin man. Being…

BEST: When no one comments on my weight period. WORST: The original bat-man theme but 'bat-man' replaced by 'Fat girl'......while doing a routine on the balance beam and everyone joined in.
