Question 1

i am of child bearing age, 29- two negative tests with the 2nd being a week after the first one.

tests taken due to heavier period blood and severly?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy Test?: Women usually test when they miss a period. Although there are early pregnancy tests - many women take tests around 14 days after sexual activity.  Usually having a period equates to not being pregnant. Are you testing to see if the heavy bleeding was due to a miscarriage.

Question 2

hi! i have 2 tan-brown spots on my back and i want them gone. i just noticed them tonight and i am a child under the age of 18. mom dont know about it?

Accepted Answer

You are a minor!: Nobody will do anything to you without your mother's or father's legal consent. You are only 9 years old. Speak to at least one of them about your concerns.

Question 3

i am an aggressive child. is this a symptom for a particular condition or disease?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: Do you seek dominance? Do you like to self advance at the expense of others? Do you distain the truth or at war with it? Can you exercise control/impulses? Do you only like the senario: "i win-you lose."  if you are saying yes to all of these questions-the aggressive traits can be a symptom for a "disorder" that needs psychiatric/psychological attention. Not being provoked is worrisome.

Question 4

i am scared my child will get cancer. why?

Accepted Answer

Me too: Cancer is very common, so i don't think you have an unreasonable fear. Fortunately, there are several things to improve our childrens odds. Not smoking, no excess drinking, mantaining an appropriate weight, being physically active, having your house tested for radon, and when old enough, undergoing appropriate screen tests eg colonscopy. Knowledge gives us power over this dreadful disease!

Question 5

how can i ensure that i am giving my child's medicine correctly?

Accepted Answer

See below: Follow the directions on the bottle. If the medication is a liquid, use the proper measuring device instead of household silverware.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nothing wrong with being concerned.But make sure that the symptoms are allergic in origin.And talk to your pediatrician to make sure your child is not uncomfortable. And , if allergic, rest assured that the problem is not super dangerous.

Question 7

i have obesity diabetes i am 55 years old i am not a child . i need help what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Lifestyle : Changes are essential centering around weight loss, dietary modifications & regular exercise.  This may be reversible.

Question 8

i am 47 youngest child 11 had partial hysterctomy and just been diagainosed with infection in breast due to childbirth. how is this possible?

Accepted Answer

That : That is an unusual situation.  It is very rare for women who are not breastfeeding to get a breast infection ("mastitis").   I would like to be sure that you have had a mammogram and complete breast assessment.  Please recheck with your physician and see if you need a mammogram or other breast testing to rule out something more serious.  There are some conditions that can look like a breast infection but are more serious, such as a malignancy.

Question 9

i am adopting a child & still breast-feeding my biological child. i am pumping & taking fenugreek to increase my supply. what else can i do?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Congratulations! many herbs and foods can increase your production of breast milk. For a list of many good ones see http://www.Breastfeeding-problems.Com/galactagogues.Html
fortunately once you start nursing your adopted baby your milk production will likely increase naturally.
