Question 1

what to do if i get naked on camera for older guys to make myself feel better?

Accepted Answer

Speak with : Seek a therapist and speak with them in regards to why you think you need to participate in such behavior just to feel better.  Your self-esteem and self-confidence could be the core of the problem.  All the best!

Question 2

how do i get kid brother to leave me alone? he puts cameras in my room and harasses my boyfriends.

Accepted Answer

Not okay: You should remind him to not do things to you that he wouldnt want done to him.  You should voice your concerns to your parents to help you out.

Question 3

if i am at home on my pc with a camera, will you be able to see me and i be able to see you through healthtap?

Accepted Answer

Healthtap: Yes that can happen under the right circumstances.

Question 4

is that capsule camera good as colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Not for prime time.: Capsule colonoscopy is not fda approved. It does not seem as accurate as colonoscopy at this time. In one study, 5 cancers were diagnosed with 2 of them missed by capsule colonoscopy. If a polyp is identified by capsule colonoscopy, it still needs to be removed by a regular colonoscopy. You get another prep. There are newer steerable models (with magnets) which may improve accuracy.

Question 5

does having that tube camera thing hurt what is it like?

Accepted Answer

No discomfort: I'm not sure if you are talking about a Gastrointestinal Endoscopy or not.   This is a procedure that a doctor can look at your digestive tract.  It is usually done under conscious sedation.  This is where you are semi-awake and usually able to respond to commands, but do not remember the procedure.  There can be some mild bloating and gas afterwords which can result in some mild discomfort.

Question 6

is this iris transillumination or just my cheap camera?

Accepted Answer

Camera: If you are referring to "red eye" when you use your flash, it is most likely not iris transillumination. Transillumination is when light can pass through the iris. When you take a picture in the dark, people's pupils are dilated, so the light is bouncing back from the retina through the pupil, not the iris. Some cameras use multiple flashes to constrict the subject's pupil prior to taking the shot.

Question 7

i had a camera inside my bladder and it showed spots inside , what is this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It  is hard to say from the description.  It may  evidence  of  inflammation , chronic  infection  or  other problems.  Ask your  md  what  he  found, what it means and how to treat it.

Question 8

do infrared (ir) cameras pose a risk to human eyes?

Accepted Answer

Tnfra red light: The amount of infra red light emitted by a camera has no ocular effect.

Question 9

what happens to the virtual endoscopy camera; it defecated out or what?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Usually the camera passes out with the stool the day of the test. There are cases where patients have had strictures of the small intestine where the camera was caught. Often doctors will order a small bowel series prior to capsule to rule out these stricture. There is also a special capsule that can also be used to detect stricture that might prevent the camera from passing.

Question 10

i'm going to need a colonoscopy. i'm scared of the camera roaming around inside me?

Accepted Answer

Dont be scared: You are taking charge of your health, being proactive and thats a great thing. You will be properly anesthetized and probably have the best 30 minute nap  of your life! :-) good luck!
