Question 3

paraco-denk 500/30 can making me loss weight?

Need more info: It may be causing you to lose your appetite . I would strongly advise you to consult with the physician who prescribed this medication because there might be other reasons why you are losing weight.

Question 4

why does my back keep hurting? should i try a new chair or desk?

Accepted Answer

Posture + exercise: In the absence of other medical problems, one of the best things someone who is relatively young can do is to get more exercise, and specifically more abdominal exercises. Having proper posture at a chair or desk can help too. Sit up right, flex your abs, keep both feet flat on the floor or on a stool, and avoid leaning on the armrests while typing. 
If the pain persists, you should get a physical.

Question 5

i have a standing desk at work. from a health perspective, is that a good or bad thing?

Accepted Answer

Generally good: Having a tall, standing-type desk is generally a good thing for many reasons: less strain on the back (because most desk chairs promote poor posture), improved leg and core strength, and less neck strain.  However, be sure to not "hunch over" your desk and be sure to keep your legs moving (vs just standing with no movement for any prolonged period of time). Find a way to relax if you get tired.

Question 6

shamal from pakistan i have physicaly problem my age 18 my deck is small and thin i am worried please tell some tip/ medicin that my got long and fat ?

Accepted Answer

Penis: Assuming you mean your penis and not a "deck" (which in america is  a type of porch), then there is no magic pills or devices that will make your penis get larger or thicker.  Plastic surgery is the only viable option that some plastic surgeons can perform.

Question 7

deit to loose weight?

Accepted Answer

Losing weight: To lose weight, get ur resting metabolism rate done(weight loss centers do this). This determines the total number of calories you need to lose 1-2lbs/week. Decreasing 500cal/day will give you a 1lb wt loss in 1wk; drink water (1/2 your body weight), eat small meals about 150-200cal 2-4x/(depending on your metabolism rate) and 500cal/meal at night: lean protein/veggies; avoid carbs, .

Question 8

what is fuch's dystrophy and the dsek procedure?

Accepted Answer

Corneal lining: The inner lining of the cornea consists of cells which pump fluid from the cornea keeping it clear.  When these cells are deficient or incompetent, the cornea swells with fluid.  This when spontaneous is called fuch's.  Surgical replacement of the cells from a donor can restore clarity in a procedure called dsek.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Many factors: There are a lot of considerations. It is important to take breaks from sitting but also rest your eyes and arms. Look for good ergonomic guidelines. Here is a place to start- https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/index.html

Question 10

i am short and sitting at a desk, could this hurt my back?

Accepted Answer

Can be anything: Could be muscles, nerves or even joints causing your pain.  If stretching, performing core strengthening exercises and nsaids don't help, i would consider speaking with your doctor regarding more thorough evaluation. You may need an ergonomic evaluation to make sure you are sitting appropriately for your spine and job.
