Need evaluation: After one year of trying to conceive you should see your fertility specialist or gynecologist to perform an evaluation. This typically entails a semen analysis, an evaluation of your tubes as well as an evaluation of ovarian function. Based on findings, treatment will be recommended. In cases where the problem is unexplained, fertility improving strategies could be used to boost your chances.

Question 2

Salt and uric acid: No, salt does not elevate uric acid. Diet features that elevate uric acid include meats, poultry, shell fish, organ meats, alcohol, animal fats, and high fructose corn syrup containing foods and drinks.

Question 3

Question 4

can what you ate cause a bad headache the next day, i went somewhere yesterday and had a hogey sandwich that had stuff like salami and cheese in it, ?

Accepted Answer

Definitely!: Since your history suggests you have multiple food allergies, and many hogeys have processed meats, preservatives, and nitrites, and other additives in it, you could have very well reacted to it. Also, if you had other fried side dishes too (trans fat), or alcohol too with it, if you were dehydrated, this could add to a headache by itself. Best to stay away from them.

Question 5

i've been "suffering" with soft, sludgy stools that stick to the toilet on and off for a few years. i never feel like i'm finished after i'm finished and i tend to have lots of gas and bloating. i've cut out gluten, dairy and don't eat any red meat. howev

Accepted Answer

Time for stool exam: It sounds like you need to have your stool examined to see if there is a malabsorption issue, or a low grade infection, or other problems.

Question 6

i don't think i've ever had a cold sore, however due to the cold weather my lips have cracked and i have a sore area towards the corner of my mouth on the top of the bottom lip which isn't visible when my mouth is shut! it only hurts when i touch it, howe

Accepted Answer

Angular cheilitis: You probably have angular cheilitis.  You could apply petroleum jelly or aquaphor to this and your lips frequently. If no improvement consider a topical antifungal like miconazole or even a topical antibiotic since it might be secondarily infected by either yeast or bacteria.

Question 7

37 m - constipation for 2 days - took mirilax and prune juice and then had dierreah - 3rd day still feel bloated and no howe movement - could it be blockage? i have a little fullness / growling stomach pain but nothin crazy. should i go doctors?

Accepted Answer

: Could be diarrhea around an impaction. Good rectal exam will tell.

Question 8

my throat is red raw, i am aching all over, my joints ache, i have ear ache but had my tonsils removed 16 mth ago so know its not tonsillitis - howeve?

Accepted Answer

Virus? Flu? Strep?: Sounds like viral pharyngitis, i.e. a bad cold. Possibly influenza. However, strep throat is a possibility -- you need tonsils to get strep. With these severe symptoms, best to see your doctor for diagnosis and possible testing for strep.

Question 9

scratchy sore throat, runny nose, dry cough worse at night and in heat. 2 day history. just traveled with friends on a cruise ship who all have similar sx's. drinking lots of oj and taking vitamin c and resting. thinking that it is just cold a cold, howev

Accepted Answer

Likely a cold: Controversy exists about vitC supplements for a cold.  Taking the suggested amount (and not more) is safe.  Warning signs that should prompt one to see a physician are sudden worsening of the throat pain, enlarging lymph nodes, persistent fever, any resultant breathing difficulty, sinus pressure after 14 days that is not improving, and suddenly getting worse after a period of improvement.

Question 10
