Accepted Answer

Get tested : you have symptoms of urethritis-  the most common causes of this in young men are sexually transmitted infections-  Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.  at minimum you should see a health care provider and be tested for these (the test uses a swab of the urethra, and the results are available in a couple hours.  even if your symptoms are mild, if left untreated it could lead to inferility.

Question 2

Question 3

what would be the benefits of sonic brush?

Accepted Answer

Timing, dexterity: People who have dexterity problem (stroke victim, arthritis, geriatric population) should used sonic brush since it does all the mechanical movement for you.  Secondly, it comes with the timer to make sure you brush the area long enough to achieve good result.  Lastly,  it produced enough fluid movement to almost produce a flossing effect (adequate for straight teeth area).

Question 4

can i get cooties from using someone's brush?

Accepted Answer

Cootie Brush: If we are talking about a hair brush, one must make sure that the person who used the brush last does not have open wounds, expecially if infected or head lice, which is the most common of all cooties one can get from a bush.  If we are talking about a tooth brush, that's in its own league:).

Question 5

what do i have bad breadth even though i brush and gloss twice a day?

Accepted Answer

For how long?: Could possibly be due to another cause other than teeth.  Do you smoke?   Any abdominal symptoms?  Heartburn?   In short, i can not say for sure but i would suggest further evaluation by your doctor.   Good luck!

Question 6

how can i sanitize my makeup brushes?

Accepted Answer

Medical Questions: I am sorry this question is not being answered, but it may not be in the scope of our medical practice. I have no recommendations about how you keep these items clean. But, i would guess warm water and some soap of some kind.  Your girlfriends may have some tricks to take home with you.

Question 7

what does body brushing do for cellulite?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Body brushing may induce a temporary swelling in the skin, but does not improve cellulite long-term.

Question 8

should you floss before or after you brush?

Accepted Answer

Either way: It doesn't matter.

Question 9

is dry brushing proven to have health benefits?

Accepted Answer

No studies but...: As far as I know, no one has done any research studies proving dry brushing is beneficial, but there are no studies showing it's not beneficial. It has been used for 5000 years and many people attest to its benefits. It makes sense to me that it would help, it can not possibly be harmful &amp; it only costs the price of a brush.

Question 10

is brushing my theeth 5+ times per day is good?

Accepted Answer

Don't overdo: Brushing 2-3 times a day, GENTLY, with a soft bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized dollop of toothpaste, for 2 FULL minutes by the clock, will get your teeth 60-75% clean.  You need to floss daily to reach the places a toothbrush can't.  Go to your Dentist, have your teeth examined and cleaned, and ask for oral hygiene instructions tailored to your needs.
