What are Herpes and do they REALLY exist?




My friends said i have herpes but i don’t believe them nor do i believe herpes exist. Can you please help me? When will it go away?







If you have Chlamydia and both you and your partner are being treated at the exact same time, do you have to abstain from sex?




Do I have a digestive disorder?




Since I was around 16, I have had intermittent stomach aches and constant gas. I’m 21 now and I probably should of done something about it sooner, but I’ve gotten so used to dealing with it. It got noticeably worse about 3 yrs ago. I have not noticed my symptoms get any worse after eating a lot of any specific kind of food (such as dairy), but I don’t think I should rule out some sort of food sensitivity as a cause. I tried gasx and beano, but they didn’t work at all. I’m thinking about trying a probiotic supplement. So what do you think might be wrong with me? Anyone have the same problem? Should I see a doctor?
Ps. I asked this question before, and it seems a few people misunderstood, so let me clarify. I definitely do not have trouble digesting dairy and I do not have any other symptoms except gas and stomach pains. There’s no nausea, diarrhea or constipation.




Light,milky brown discharge, what could this be?




I’m on depo and i havent had a period since my first shot in feburary and I’ve only had one occurence of spotting early on, no other bleeding since then. Recently, my discharged has turned milky white. I thought i may have a yeast infection but there was very little irritation, no smell, and after a few days the irritation went away but the white discharge remained. This morning i woke up and found that i had light brown milky discharge, this is obviously indicative of blood. What could this mean? I have had sex regularly a few times a week.

I have had no cramping, no sore breast, and no more frequent urination or fatigue.
I DON’T HAVE PERIODS! Everything related to stuff like this is related to periods. If i had periods this would be normal and I wouldn’t be asking this. However, I don’t, so please give me other answers other than "it’s normal before you’re period"!!!







I am reading Sex Lives of Roman Empire. If the book is correct then STD could have been rampant in Roman Empire. Was that why Christianity rose to the power and the Empire fell?







I was just curious to hear some other opinions on this because so far i have been getting mixed answers.

Daily i take a whole foods vitamin packet, which has 6 supplements in it. one of them is a multivitamin, three are multi-minerals, one is an antioxidant and the other is a probiotic.

Also daily i take one small biotin supplement and a silica supplement.

So this adds up to 8 supplements per day. Can this be bad for my health? Or is it a good thing?
This is the vitamin pack i take everyday:

It says that it is whole foods vitamins so is a good kind?

Also, i do eat healthy, but i take all of these supplements because i want to make sure I’m still getting all of the vitamins i need. But people have been telling me that taking all of these vitamins can damage my liver.




Why do I get so many yeast infections?




For some reason, I have always got yeast infections?? I talked to the doc. he didn;t act like it was a big deal. i have changed soaps, detergents? I notice it the worst after my husband & I have sex a lot. Especially if we use a condom. Could this be why? Anyone else share my problem?







I’ve heard both sides.
It’s actually getting better on its own. Well, I’ve been drinking a lot of water. I had one a couple of weeks ago and was on antibiotics prescribed by the doctor. I also got an "anti-viral" shot. I didn’t go to the doctor this time around.




antibiotics?




why do antibiotics have an expiration date?







does it cause bad breath or bad body odor? serious answers only.




Antibiotics?




My doc gave me some antibiotics to clear up a skin problem today. I have had 2 doses of it but after each dose i have been feeling dehydrated and have had allot of pain on one side of my stomach. I have also been going to the toilet about once every 15 minutes for the past 5 hours since i took the first one, although it doesn’t hurt, I am wondering if i should stop the pills and just use the cream he prescribed. What do you think? I’d call em but it is past midnight.







If someone gets herpes and they have slept with many individuals, and maybe two of the seven have herpes. Can it be proven which one gave you the herpes beyond a reasonable doubt.







I have sores inside and outside my mouth at the same time.. I was tested negative for HSV-1 but I am wondering why I am still getting these. So i will say it is herpes. Is this normal for someone with herpes?







I eat plenty of fiber, drink water, exercise, and take a probiotic supplement. I still have issues with constipation, though. Although I have a bowel movement every 2-3 days, I feel like I can never empty my bowel. Additionally, I feel like my rectum is full, but I can’t push it out until my body is like "ready" (whenever that is) and then it seems effortless. What can I do?




How can one get rid of thrush?




Since i have been pregnant my oral hygiene has change quite considerably. I know that is normal but seeing a dentist is just not in my budget right now. When i saw my OB she told me i had thrush and should see my doctor. I have made an appointment with my doctor but it seems too far away and having thrush is very uncomfortable not to mention painful as well.
Can anyone help me with a safe home remedy, even if its just temporary, I will see my doctor soon.
