Question 4

what are the solutions or treatment  for wet dreams in night & pe?

Accepted Answer

Underwear: You won't want to stop wet dreams at night. I'm not sure what pe is, but make sure to wear absorbent underwear when you're up and around and prone to wet dreams. There is no way to stop orgasm if you are anatomically intact. It can be embarrassing if your clothing soaks through, but take precautions including double underwear if it's really an ongoing problem. It will not go on forever. Best luck.

Go back to doctor: Return to the prescribing doctor and let the doctor examine the area. Then the doctor will give you further healing instructions

Question 6

how does moist heat promote healing of a sprained ankle?

Accepted Answer

Explanation: It really helps with resolution of swelling and inflammation that always going with any sprain.

Question 7

hi. i'm 18 and got circumisioned on friday. the healing is doing great, but i can feel wet slimy(like water) round the stiches. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Just as any other wound, it should scab, which means it needs to be dry. If you have small amount of urine leakage after voiding, you may need to blot w/tp (not ideal) or place piece of gauze around to wick moisture away (and change w/each void) for a couple days to help w/healing.

Question 8

i got my wound debrided on monday, silversorb has been applied to aid in moist wound healing, since tues, theres a black spot over the skin near wound?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: A black spot could mean the skin is dead in that area and there could be some type of infection there. However, it could be a spot where a little blob of silver oxidized and wouldn't be serious. You might be able to tell more by very gently trying to wash the area. If it comes right off, and the skin looks normal underneath, no worries.

Question 9

why is part of wound healing to wash it and keep it moist, but steristrips are kept on until they fall off or the time a doctor says to keep them on? doesn't that go against how to heal a wound?

Accepted Answer

: No it does not. Open wounds are to be treated with keeping them clean till they heal. Steri strips are used for linear incisions or wounds to approximate them for healing edge to edge.

Question 10

i have a scab on my face that i am trying to heal as quickly as possible. keep the scab moist with neosporin/vaseline to speed healing, or leave dry?

Accepted Answer

Leave it dry.: Please leave it dry. Your wound is healing. The scab is protecting it from germs and dirt. You don't need to apply anything more on it.
