Hi, For years, I have had the worst menstrual cycles known to man! Extremely heavy bloodloss, to the point I have to change my tampon every 30 minutes and I also have to wear a tampon and a pad. Also, the cramps are surreal and I usually have to take a 800mg Ibuprofen just to deal with the agonizing pain. It’s hard to sleep through the night because of the blood loss and I can barely go to work on days when I have my period. But worst of all, I have killer PMS in the days leading up to it. Extreme bloating. Rage, to the point where I want to hurt someone or something and have to stop myself. Extreme moodiness and tears for no reason. Panic attacks for no reason. Insomnia. I’m always hungry. Extreme fatigue. Intense migraines. This is what I’m going through right now. Because the symptoms are so extreme, I used to think I was pregnant, but PMDD just makes more sense. How do I combat this? I tried birth control but even low-dose was too strong. And I bled a lot and I have moderate to severe anemia (more than likely due to heavy blood loss and not getting enough iron). I really need an alternative way of dealing with this. Please help!

my friend brought this up in class today. me any my teacher said no and he insist he’s right.

Is HPV only a sexually transmitted disease or is it something that can develope on it’s own?

I have found that prostate cancer is predominate in blacks not because of their skin color,but relative to the physical wrok done as slaves.Most balcks are natural built with more muscle mass than whites and the prostate cancer rate can be traced to the deterioration of muscle mass over a period of time. Other factors include weight gain and the increase of the human life span with respect to sexuality. There is a relationship between sexual aggression and the loss of muscle mass and prostate cancer this also is demonstrated with people have sexual impotency problem having a low prostate cancer rate. Also people using steriods will have a high prostate cancer rate because of the relative decrease in muscle mass.

I am 66 years old and for the last several years I have been having a few health probems.. but everything is on my right side. My right foot and big toe joint have arthrtitis, my right big toe nail has toe nail fungus, the muscles and bones in my right foot and leg dont work as good as the left, my right foot has increased in size over the last 6-7 years, my right shoulder hurts when i throw, my right elbow hurts, dang,,, this aint all.. I had prostate cancer and it was on the right side of my prostate, I have Conns disease(non malignant growth on the adrenalin gland) and its on my right side,Im hard of hearing and my right ear is much worse than my left… the basal artery in the back of my neck is much smaller on the right side than the left.. these are the things I can think of!!!! nothing wrong on my left side.. ohhh my right arm is more wrinkled or looks older than my left… other than that, Im in good shape!!! walk 8-10 miles daily and eat reasonably healthy..

why are STD’s readily passed from a male to a female than from a female to a male?

I know this isn’t really a womans health thing as I am a man, but tend to be up on health issues, so I felt it wouldn’t hurt to ask,

I am only 25 years old, so I don’t really think it could be a prostate problem, or for that matter even a over active bladder problem.
So I am thinking maybe a Urinary Tract Infection, or some sort of diabetes.
Are there any kind of home tests you can buy to tell?
Is there anything else it could be?
I don’t really have health insurance, so I am trying to figure out if this is serious enough to call a doctor.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
guess I should add some more med history to this,
There is no history of diabetes in the family, I am 5’11″ at 185lbs, so overweight yes but only mildly.
There is a mild burning sensation that accompanies the pee, and seems to last a little bit after going to the bathroom.
I do have high blood pressure, but its not extremely high, and the doctor felt it was because I don’t like doctors.

Otherwise I have never been sick.

I am fairly active as I work in a manual labor field.

And no chance of an STD as I haven’t been sexually active.

why does more public money go towards curing and researching breast cancer than it does with testicular and prostate cancer even though more men die from prostate cancer (10000 a year in the UK)
