am a homosexual and of 16 years of age
can i have sex with a gay now.will it harm me or can i do it safely
|
|
What age to have sex is a personal choice however Indian laws still consider you a minor and that can bring trouble to your partner. Gay people have sex either as active partners or passive partners. If you are a active partner you will insert the penis while the passive partner allows intercourse via his anus. The passive partner thus can (especially initially) get pain and can suffer injury to the anal region. Long term problems like infections (HIV or any sexually transmitted disease) and loss of sphincter control leading to stool incontinance should be kept in mind.

Your intention of wanting to manage stress are good but methods completely wrong. Alcohol and smoking will cause severe damage to various organs. Your bodily symptoms are signals from your body to you. The signals suggest the danger ahead and telling you mend your ways. Stop drinking, smoking and eating spicy food and visit a psychiatrist for learning other ways for managing stress.

i ve developed silght fatty growth on upper eyelid of both eyes. Dr said it is just a growth and not to worry im not convinced and it looks ugly although it is small im taking black olives in the morning on empty stomach.
|
|
Fatty growths near the eyelids could be due to high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Get your blood lipid levels done from a lab and if the reports are high then start working on reducing the fat intake. This is a signal from your body (though ugly looking) to take care as high fat levels means future heart problems. If you want to get rid of the fatty growth, consult a plastic surgeon.

I was having severe pain in my elbow and when i went to the doctor they told me that my ESR is high and they gave me an injection. When I was 15 i had the same problem and knee pain. I was given Panador injection for 5 years. Could uou please give me some advice ?
|
|
It is likely that you could have had rheumatic arthritis. This is a common condition that requires long term treatment with monthly penicillin injections. After the course of up to 5 years no treatment is required unless your nervous system or heart was affected as well. All further treatment or worries depend on your current clinical status which you may get evaluated from your doctor.

|
|
Going by the treatment and the outcome of pregnancy, be assured that your doctors are good at their work. Keeping the past in mind you must keep a close follow up with your doctors. Being anxious and stressed out will affect your health and hence the baby. Stay relaxed, hundreds of women have aborted only to have healthy children later, we are certain you will be one of them, best wishes to you from goodhealthnyou.com

I recently suffered from mumps 2 weeks back & then recovered but discovered that my semen was chocolate coloured & then changed to reddish in a day or two & is persisting like that. It is also not that thick as it used to be. I have no problems while urinating. What is the cause and what should i do? Is it true that one should not indulge in masturbation while suffering from mumps?
|
|
There is no such rule that says that one must not masturbate when having mumps. More importantly mumps are known to cause testicular damage and given the complaints you have it is advisable that you seek opinion from a urologist at the earliest.

1)How effective are vaginal pessaries as contraceptives in alongterm heterosexual relationship. what are the disadvantages?
2)Is the pill a better contraceptive in alongterm heterosexual relationship.what are the disadvantages?
Pl reply to my email
|

The failure rate of the vaginal contraceptive pills is twice as much of the oral contraceptives. The former are easy to use, can be used when required but can lead to reduced pleasure during intercourse. The latter though most effective when used without supervision from a doctor can increase risk for cancer breast, cervix, uterus and also increase chances of d diseases.

I would like to know more about circumcision from the point of hygiene. at what age can it be performed, how long is the operation, what is the post operative care to be taken, how long does it take to heel up, where all can it be done, how safe is the operation (are there any chances of any problems), what is the cost involved(approx).
|
|

The operation lasts less than half hour and post-operative care of taking medications, avoiding infections through good hygiene is required. Heeling takes place in a couple of weeks. The surgery is done by most surgeons and can be done virtually free at government hospitals or for a few thousand rupees in private hospitals.

My friend has been going through work stress, he has been adviced TRIKA.50mg daily for 3 weeks, Pl advice, what does this tablet actually do? Are there any side effects if it is taken for 3 weeks?
|

Trika is a anti-anxiety medication and is similar to calmpose. Taking the medication for a short while is fine but in the long run there is always a risk of addiction. Better medications for reducing stress are available and more importantly your friend should learn stress management at mental level and also do so at physical level through exercise, yoga and meditation.

Thank you so much to reply to my question. I was most worried about the disease coming to the baby. Now, I can be more confident that I too can have a healthy baby, if not normally, at least by artificial insemination. I have been under total control of lupus and I am likely to reduce my intake of steriods, for the sake of conception.
Now, I am taking 10mg of prednisolone, Along 5mg and Envas 2.5mg for my BP was on the higher side. Now, I have a specific low salt, low fat diet too in order to reduce the risk of BP and kidney functions. I have also taken 6 pulses of cyclophosphomide-500mg injections(IV). I have been asked to repeat the C3 and C4 compliments again on the 20th of this month. So far, C3 is in the border limit and C4 is normal. I only hope for the best results and improvement in the coming years.Please reply regarding the mecical intake and if there are any other treatments available for lupus please let us know.
|
|
Nothing can control a human being without the human being giving in. In case of lupus too, several studies have shown that keeping a positive attitude helps speedy recovery. The medications are right, the only precaution now you ought to take is not consider pregnancy till you are off medicines. This is because all medications affect the fetus and can cause malformations. Discuss these issues with your doctor, get off drugs when possible and then think of pregnancy.

i would like to have information regarding what are the consequences if one has a hole in his heart?
|
|
The heart has 4 chambers, 2 atriums and 2 ventricles separated from each other by a septum. The clinical symptoms vary depending on the location, size, and flow of the blood (right to left or vice versa). Lung infections, fatigue, loss of consciousness on exertion or cyanosis are the usual consequences with death being the outcome if the hole is left untreated. Please consult a cardiologist for further treatment.

I am diagonised with leptospirosis, but I am not able to establish the cause for it, as I have just come back to India after a long stay abroad. Advise me about my next steps that I should take with regard to diet and other precautions. Also should i get a second opinion on this test already done earlier?
|
|
The source of leptospirosis infection is the urine or blood of rats, mice, cattle, dogs, goats, etc. This urine or blood contaminates water, soil or vegetables which then infects humans. You must take antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor, maintain good nutrition, hydration and hygiene (clean every vegetable and drink boiled water). Almost any organ can get affected and if your condition worsens or you have the slightest of doubts, visit your doctor. If your test is positive and you have doubts you may ask for another test for confirmation. But if you have started treatment and the second test comes negative, it does not mean the first was incorrect.

AIDS experts say that one needs to do Elisa test three times to confirm for the infection. You can also go in for the specialised Western blot for confirmation. Time frames differ from people to people, therefore it is difficult to say on the same. Do read up articles on our site on the same. It will give you a better idea.

I am a S.L.E. Patient since 4 years, and I am married. I have not conceived yet. My husband had oligoasthenospermia and is now alright. What are the chances of me having a baby? Is is too risky? Do lupus patients also give birth to a normal healthy child? please clarify. Will my baby also inherit lupus in future? If if cannot be normal conception please suggest any other alternative ways apart from adoption.
|
|
Lupus is an autoimmune condition and will not affect your child. Whether you conceive or not depends on your partners sperm count and your reproductive system functioning. If you are on steroids, you must check with your gynecologist whether or not your reproductive system is functioning normally. If normal conception is not possible, you must consult an infertility expert to consider various treatment options.

Is it possible that the hymen of the female remains intact even after having intercourse for once or twice and is it essential that a virgin girl will have her hymen intact and she will bleed hving intercourse first time.
|
|
Virginity can not be checked in a sure shot way. An examination may reveal an intact hymen which does not presuppose that the girl did not have sex as a woman can have an intercourse and yet have an intact hymen. If the hymen is partially open and lax, there may be no bleeding during intercourse. Also if the hymen is not intact it does not mean that the virginity is lost as the hymen my break off by indulging in sports and exercise rather than sex.

My problem is that my 24 yr old brother is addicted to cough syrups. He refuses to discuss his problem. And threatens to leave the house if forced to go to a doctor. Please help.
|
|
Addictions to cough syrups are becoming an increasing problem. If he refuses to consult a doctor, try and get a doctor (psychiatrist) to visit him at home. Once the doctor explains the dangers of the habit, he may feel motivated to leave the habit. Also doctors will substitute the cough syrup with other medications so that no withdrawal effects are seen. Many addicts fear withdrawal symptoms and hence refuse treatment. At times patients are having mental problems like depression, insomnia, anxiety which they self treat with cough syrups, once they realize that there are better ways of managingthese problems, they accept to kick the habit.

I am a mother of 5 years male child. We were trying for the second child. After one and half years also I did not conceive. Doctors, said one of my tubes is blocked and 99% chances are very rear. I was on Clomid for 6 months. After that I heard that there is homeopathy medicine which can cure this tube blockage. Can I take homeopathy. If so how long it will take to conceive. We are financially sound to go for artificial insemination. Please suggest me since I have crossed 35
|
|
To begin with at the age of 35 the chances of having a abnormal child increase. If your tubes are blocked artificial inseminisation will not help, you will require something similar to a test tube baby. Homeopathy is a choice you may make but how and when it will help is not predictable.

My son is 3. He is having continuous discharge from his ears. His doctor says that his ear drum has been punctured and would need repair. I would like to know what are the investigations to be done and how to go about it so that the diagnosis can be determined and treatment instituted.

|
The investigations in this case will not be diagnostic but will only be supportive in nature, for example a CBC may show increased neutrophils which will mean a acute infection, but that will not confirm anything. The final diagnosis in this case is dependent on the ENT surgeons examination only. The doctor is correct and surgery may be required.

What drug would you suggest is the best for depression. At the moment on Setraline.
|
|
Depression is caused by deficiency of brain chemicals - serotonin or norepinephrine or both. All drugs are good but act on different brain chemicals. We have no test to tell which chemical is imbalanced, hence if fault lies in norepinephrine; sertraline, which acts on serotonin, may be ineffective. This does not make the drug or the treatment ineffective. It means some other medication requires to be tried. In addition, which drug to use depends on type of symptoms, severity, duration, whether concomitant medical problems are there or not, etc. Sertraline is safe and effective, continue to follow your doctors advice.

My doctor informs me that my sperm-count is very low and I cannot have any further children. Please inform what medicine I should take. I have a son aged 14 years and want to have a second child.

There is no medication that will increase your sperm count. Occasionally if the hormones are deficient they may be given, but how much effect they will produce on sperm count is difficult to predict. You may consider artificial inseminisation, where the doctor could isolate your good quality sperms and use them for conception. Please consult a infertility expert.

Low backache is most commonly due to bad posture while at work/studying, wrong sleeping postures or improper sleeping mattresses as well as lack of exercise to the back muscles.

Fats are of two types - Mono-saturated fats & Polyunsaturated fats. Mono-saturated fats are bad for health as they increase the cholesterol levels while Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fats are good as they help decrease cholesterol. Kardi oil is better than groundnut oil because it has high PUFA contents.
