November 21, 2012

Does exercise help you keep your memory?

November 20, 2012

I have iron deficiency anemia, and have had colonoscopy and an upper GI endoscopy. The results of both were normal. I have plenty of iron in my diet. I don't have heavy menstrual periods (in fact, they're very light). Could my anemia be caused by donating blood? I usually give blood every eight weeks.

I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area. It seems to get filled with blood when I put more pressure while using the toilet. It’s almost like swollen skin — very soft, without any hardness. What could this be? Are there any home remedies?

November 16, 2012

For the past few months, I’ve had bloating and bowel movement changes such as constipation, diarrhea, slim stools, mucus-type stools, and bowel movements that I’d consider violent and explosive. I went to an urgent care center, where I was told I was impacted — with advice to buy stool softeners. The pain lasted 3-5 more days. I have had no weight loss, but I am tired a lot. Any suggestions?

November 15, 2012

I had a spinal tap. The doctor said the tests on the fluid were all normal. But the printed report suggested a low protein level. Is this a problem?

November 13, 2012

I have a severe snoring problem. I also am getting frequent headaches. Could my headaches be sleep apnea-related?

November 12, 2012

When your TSH count is 0.13, is this hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism?

November 09, 2012

What would cause a male in his mid-50s to feel soreness in both breasts? There is no apparent hardness or lumps.

November 08, 2012

I read that oral-to-vaginal contact may cause a change in normal vaginal discharge. Is this a yeast infection? Can it be treated with Monostat?

November 07, 2012

I am 70-year-old woman, and for the last 2-3 years my fingernails have begun to split in a lateral manner. I take calcium, so I’m wondering what is causing this.
