April 23, 2012

I have genital herpes. I rarely have an outbreak -- maybe once a year or less, but of course I have no idea when an outbreak will happen. Should I be on Valtrex to prevent transmission of the disease?

I am interested in a plant-based diet. Do you have any information on this?

April 12, 2012

I'm 48, and weigh 240 pounds. I'm on a weight-loss plan but I'm struggling with what is my best options for breakfast. I typically have low-fat yogurt with granola each morning — but think I should lay off the dairy. What's a good protein for me? Are eggs alone good enough? I don't have time each morning to make a meal.

March 30, 2012

I used to take pseudoephedrine (standard Sudafed) for nasal congestion. But I have an enlarged prostate and find that it restricts my urine flow. Is there an alternative over-the-counter decongestant that will not affect the prostate and restrict urine flow?

February 28, 2012

I consider myself a healthy man. I haven’t seen a doctor in 4 years. Do I really need to go for regular check-ups?

February 27, 2012

My husband has had loose, poorly-formed stools for more than a year. He increased his fiber intake, but that hasn’t helped. What do you suggest?

February 24, 2012

When I visit my doctor, my readings are always high at first. The doctor has me relax for about 10 minutes and the repeat is at the top of normal (140/90 or close to it). Do I have hypertension that needs to be treated? Should I be checking my blood pressure at home?

February 23, 2012

What are the risk factors for testicular cancer?

February 13, 2012

I’ve been active in sports my entire life. I had debridement surgery on my right ankle one year ago. It’s still painful. Have there been any medical advances to either replace the cartilage (synthetic or real) or re-grow cartilage?

Is it possible to cure Type 2 diabetes?
