about

I'm a med student, so health related questions I can usually answer pretty well. I also like to think I'm somewhat decent at giving advice. I can also give you an honest opinion.




"I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, or where I'm gonna wind up. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next."





"I believe in colors. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."


advice

When I poo it feels hard to poo and there has been blood in the toilet after I have had a poo

Blood in stool can be a sign of internal bleeding. Definetly see a doc.

so like, im a guy and all right, and im really young, im about to turn 20. not that it matters with this question
but for some reason, often, whatever i eat turns up in my shit, and its nasty.
like a month ago, i ate cotton candy icecream at Cold Stone and my shit was neon blue. And yesterday i had Chipotle and this morning when i went to shit there was corn in the shit and some bits of salsa. n kits kinda nasty i mean, you know. And it wasnt even digested corn or chewed corn... it was like fresh from the fridge corn. Like it was perfect. And last week my roomate cooked brocolli and carrots and when i shitted there were litttle sprouts in the shit. I mean, i dont have diarrhea or anything, my shit is fresh, but for some reason, whatever i eat turns up in my shit. I didnt wanna look at it to see what was wrong, so i took my digital camera and me and my roomate took a pic of it with our eyes closed. So i uploaded it on my computer and zoomed in on the delicious stuff in the shit to see exactly what it was. And me and my roomate were like thats gross dude.
Is tehre something wrong with me or my diet, or is it like some kind of disease. Because im not fat or anything, i work out alot with my roomate and all the girls check us out... so i dont think its my health, but im not sure........

There's a few possibilities. Something could be wrong with your intestines/pancreas or maybe your digestive enzymes are lacking. I'd see a doc.

I'm a straight A student and I got a 72.5 on a science quiz! I've ruined my grade completely!
I also am on the lacrosse team but I have never played before and there are other girls on the team who have been playing since age 4. Help!!!!

-_-

It's just one quiz, relax. I'm sure if you ace the rest of them you can still get an A. If not just see if you can do some extra credit or something.

I was wondering how you'd keep your vagina clean. My boyfriend wants to eat me out and I wouldn't mind him doing it, but I just don't want to be dirty down there or smell the wrong way and we usually hook up like that in the afternoon or in the evenings and i'm usually not at home so i just want to make sure that it's completely clean. So any tips?

Your vagina is a self-cleaning organ. The only thing you can really do is shower before. I wouldn't use a douche or any vagina cleaner because it can disrupt the natural bacteria increasing the risk of infection.

what do you do when your being replaced

If people are dumb enough to try and replace you, then you don't need them.

If you have sex for the first time can you get pregnant. Even if only the tip of the penis went in. And the man DID NOT cum. And it did not last anymore then 2 minutes.

Having sex for the first time doesn't make a difference on preventing pregnancy. From what you described it's highly unlikely but possible.

I am 16 and am going to have sex with my boyfriend (protected of course) but do boys like a girl better if her vagina is waxed or does it really matter. I know it sounds weird but I wanted to know before doing anything! Help me please!

Um usually waxed or shaved as long as you don't have a bush.

how much sperm can it take to get pregnant.....and how far does it have to get for a female to become pregnant.? help.!

One mature sperm, or spermatozoa is all it takes. And it has to travel to the fallopian tubes to reach the oocyte, or egg cell. Basically, use protection if you don't want to get pregnant because there's always a chance since there's millions of sperm.

I keep dreaming about it with my crush but its like I really wanna do it.What age do I need to have my first kiss? :[

You don't need to have your first kiss at any age. Don't rush things, relax it'll happen.

i dont know how to fell about this he says he had sex with his ex way before we even like each other i belive him but im not sure not to think. he wants me to go to the irth and he will only go if i do. i dont think i want to though i want to be supprotive.

can you give me some adive on what i shoukd do please.

You shouldn't have to go, it's not your child. This is probably not what you want to hear but you should stay away. He doesn't sound like the brightest crayon in the box...you might be next.

ok so i have had my period and i humped my bed and im rly rly rly rly rly scared can i be pregnant????plz help u dont understand!?

You need male sperm, coming from a real live man to have a chance of being pregnant. You're gametes will progress through meiosis and form a zygote and implantation will occur, aka you become pregnant. If a bed had the power to do this the earth would be over populated.

All of a sudden my friends are like desperate for guys and hanging out with these gross guys. Were all 18, and they're like 20-25. They aren't in college. Their like drug dealers and just basically ghetto losers. I'm repulsed by them and I can't stand when they want to go to one of their parties. The whole time I'm worried im going to get shot, they all think I'm the hottest and constantly want to hook up with me, but I refuse too and they don't really like me because I won't drink or smoke. But obviously I'm not going to put anything in my body that they have possession of. My friends are acting like whores and they'll probably end up with stds and it's ruining our friendship because I never want to hang out with them anymore because of this.

What do I do?

Did you talk to your friends about them? You can't really pick your friends' friends but just don't hang out with them when those guys are invited. If they're real friends then they'll start to miss you and ditch the guys to hang out with you instead. If they don't then they're whores and you deserve better friends... :)

Who do you think I should pick???? I am stuck and I think I have fallen for three guys. I need help on whom to chose. I have chemistry with em all and we get along well.

Guy 1- He is drop dead gorgeous, he can sing, write poetry, hes athletic, and hes a christian

Guy 2- Hes cute, funny, sensitive, loving, and smart

Guy 3- Hes intelligent, not so good looking, sweet, caring, funny, and can play instruments.

Well from what you wrote guy 1 sounds the best. But obviously you shouldn't ask people over the internet to decide from a description of a few characteristics who to date.

20/f

I am in a commited relationship, but for some reason I feel the need to have affairs. I am currently on my 2nd affair, the first is still kinda ongoing, but not as much as in the past, due to over time, it gets harder to keep it up. Is something wrong with me? Why do I feel the need to have affairs? I know you can't get in my mind and tell me whats goin on in there. But...IDK. just tell me something, please :)

If you want to have affairs you should end the "commited relationship".... you wouldn't want someone doing this to you.

Me and my boyfriend lets call him Kyle, have been going out for 4 years. We have never kissed or even hugged. The most we have done is hold hands. How should I go about kissing him?

Really? Just kiss him. 4 years is a long time, I'm assuming you should be comfortable enough around him.

I don't smoke, I just want to know.

I hear all sorts of rumors, such as:
- It makes you stupid
- It damages brain cells
- It contains the same carcinogens as cigarettes

Are any of these true? Are there any other physiological / psychological effects?

They're all false.

However, if you let it take over your life, then it becomes unhealthy due to the fact that you're dependent on it. It doesn't contain niccotine but just like anything else that can become addictive so can weed.

Well I am a 14 year old girl and I feel like out of my friends I am the ugly one. The guys always talk to them and ask them out but never me. I know I need to be more social but I don't know what to talk about. I need advice on how to make myself prettier and get guys to notice me.

If you smile a lot it makes you more approachable. Have fun and be confident.

Okay so I have a bf, and we have been going out for 2 months. And I have a guy friend that asked me to give him a picture of me in my bra, should I?

Sorry but this is one of those rare stupid questions. Obviously no, unless you want to ruin your relationship...

a guy just texted me asking me to prom and i dont know if anybody else will... But the thing is that this guy has kind of a stuttering prob, which isnt bad but my friends just kinda laughed and are like "well do you want to go?" And i dont really know. I want to go to prom, i really do!
But this is so complicated because people are gonna be talking and my friends will just laugh at me and i just feel bad.. i dont want to say no.
He isnt like "weird" he plays sports and has friends and stuff but still... idk. My OWN friends are kind of iffy about it.. HELP!

Honestly, who cares what your friends say. If you wanna go then go! I'm sure it would make him feel good too.

In about October my hemoglobin level was about a 11.8, normal is 12. Well I am now having difficulty concentrating sometimes, head hurting, lightheadedness, fatigue, cold hands and feet, I am shaking, I crave ice alittle bit, and when I walk up the stairs my head throbs from the back up to the front and it is hard to breath for alittle bit after walking up the stairs. What could my hemoglobin be?

No one can really predict your hemoglobin on here. The normal ranges for a healthy male is 13.5-18 g and 12-16 g for a healthy female. 11.8 is slightly low but it could be that for a number of reasons. I would suggest seeing a doctor and getting it properly measured.
