I am a final year med student and have decided to use part of what free time is available to me to offer advice to anyone who feels they have a genuine problem. Please DO NOT waste my precious time by putting forward questions which you KNOW to be NOT genuine.If I feel this is what you have done I will not answer them.
Owing to the nature of my work, my time on here is limited, although I may show as on line. Please feel free to ask me a question, however, I apologise if my answer is not immediate, but rest assured, it will be a genuine one.

Can girls get orgasm's without having sex? (link)
| |
Are you male or female?

i didn't know what category to use but when i get my braces off i wanna make sure that my teeth are white..some say if you brush your teeth with baking soda it really helps but im scared that my teeth will be like glowing white and i dont want that to look retarded. i just want a nice shade of white..and is it safe to brush with baking soda? (link)

Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide 6% strengh,(available form pharmacies)to a smooth paste. You may add toothpaste if you wish, do NOT swallow the mix. Leave on for two minutes then rinse thoroughly.
I do not advise you to use this treatment more than once a week.
The next time you have a dental checkup, inform your dentist what you have been doing.

hi, this has been bugging me for ages. when i was 13 i got the chicken pox. i went to the hospital and was seen by a male doctor. he asked me to take my top off to have a better look at my spots. i had them on my arms and body. then he told me to take my cami-top off too so i'd be naked down to my waist. i cried but he insisted it had to be done. so i did and he touched my breasts...all this was to confirm i had chicken pox. thats not normal is it? (link)

I can see no reason for a breast examination to confirm a diagnosis of chicken pox.
You must tell your mother for the simple reason it was obviously an upsetting experience for you and it's obviously been worrying you for far too long.
However, it should have been reported at the time, although you would have found it very difficult to prove. It would have been your word against his, but DO report it. You may well not be alone in this, if he is guilty of professional misconduct my guess is he will have or maybe still is behaving in this way with others. If further complaints are received from other patients, the powers that be will have no choice but to investigate.
Hope you find this helpful.

I am 5'8" and I weigh like 165 pounds.. is that too much?.. i have bigger legs but i dont look fat.. most people say i look really skinny actually. but i want to know if theyre just saying it to be nice and if i really am putting myself at risk for like heart disease or anything. (link)

Hello,
You are probably what we consider to be borderline weight for your height.
What age are you?
My advice to you would be to try to shed five or six pounds,gradually over a period of time, NOT by crash dieting.
You are very sensible to be concerned about heart disease, it goes without saying that eating a low fat diet which incorporates fresh fruit and vegetables as often as possible will go a long way to guard against this.
Be confident about the way you look, you are NOT grossly overweight by any means.

im 14/f...i feel like i sleep a LOT! like here's an average day: wake up around 10...take a nap from like 1 to 3 30...then get up and do whatever...then take another nap from like 5 to 6 30...then stay up until like 1 in the morning and go to bed and do it all over again the next day...is this normal or is there something wrong??? (link)

What is your mood like during the times you are awake?
Do you feel life is great, or is everything uninteresting to you?
There are very many reasons why you may be sleeping so much, ranging from something simple such as a disrupted sleep pattern,ie, you go to bed at 1.00am, try going at 11.00 on as regular a basis as you are able to manage, and cutting out one of your day time naps, to more complex and serious reasons why you may be tired.
If changing your sleep pattern doesn't work, I strongly advise a visit to your Doctor.
It could also be your body adjusting to the changes you are going through right now,hormones etc.

How is it that somedays I think I'm fat and then other days I look skinny?
I rate HIGH! (link)
|
You are possibly gaining extra weight a few days before your period is due owing to water retention.(I'm assuming you ARE female).
People also are slightly heavier at the end of the day than when they get up first thing in the morning, which is why that is the time of day you should weigh yourself

Okay I’m 15 and I weigh 110 and I’m 5’6 is that to skinny? I don’t think it is but some people say that is and I wanna gain some pounds. And I want it to show I just maybe wanna get to like 120 at least. If anyone knows any good ways of gaining some pounds please let me know what they are. Also will you tell me from the information I gave you up top does that sound like I’m skinny or is it fine? Thank you so much!!

Stop worrying, you are slim, NOT skinny. If you are happy with the way you look it doesn't matter what other peoples opions may be. If you receive any further comments I would just say,"really,sorry you have a problem with the way I look,I'm quite comfortable with it,thank you".
Your'e also still growing and in all probablity will gain a few extra pounds quite naturally.

i generally have my period every 27 days for about eight days. last time i only had it for 6 days and its been over 30 days and im still not getting it! what should i do? (im fourteen) (link)
|
First of all stop worrying. At your age your hormones have not settled down and it's perfectly natural for your periods to be slightly eratic.
The lengh of time you menstruate for varies , anything between three to seven day's is perfectly normal, provided the bleeding is not excessively heavy, at your age it certainly shouldn't be.
Hope this put's your mind at rest.

Okay, well I've been going to a workout camp for three weeks, and already I see great improvement in my speed, strength, and endurance. The only thing, is that WHILE I'm working out, my back sweats really bad, and completely soaks the back of my shirt! It seriously grosses me out and it is not too much fun when you're stuck with a wet shirt for a lot of the day. What can I do? (link)
| |
Any strenuous excercise which exerts your cardiovascular system will cause you to sweat. It's perfectly natural, your body's way of cooling down. Short of taking a shower to refresh yourself, there is little you can do to prevent it.

Ever since I was a baby, my face has always been chubby, even though the rest of me isn't. Not that Nicole Richie had a fat face before, but I've noticed her face has become a lot slimmer after she lost all of that weight. So i was wondering, how much weight would i need to lose for my face to be noticebly slimmer as well? (I'm 16, 5'6", and 125 lbs)

I do not advise you to try losing weight. You would need to shed too much to make any difference to your face. At your age your body is still developing in various way's, including skeletal. Dont rush thing's, there is still time for your face to alter naturally, unless of course it's in your genetic makeup to look as you do.
Stop worrying.
