Question 3

mason, one sex partner past two years and one previously was told he has hpv. what's next.

Accepted Answer

HPV: You were exposed to hpv as a young man.  You most likely cleared it and have nothing to worry about.  96% of us are infected by age 26.  If you have a history of any anal warts then the next step is to get an anal pap smear with the reflex hpv hybrid testing. But if you have no anal history then there is nothing to advise you to do.

Question 5

when making salt water gargle is it best to use plain water or water thats been boiled first then cooled or warm ? can you pre make it in mason jar or any jar and leave set out and use as needed over a few days or is it better to make new each time?

Accepted Answer

: I never go to this level of effort. If your water supply is city water approved for human use I take it directly from the tap, make a briny solution that looks cloudy and use it. It is important to gargle &amp; spit it all out as there is too much salt in it for you to swallow.  If you have an uncertain water source do whatever you for daily consumption.

Question 6

james is a 68yr old man with diabetes 220pounds and 5.11 , today when he stands hes dizzy and loses his motion as well, his sugar is 193, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: He may have low blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension), especially if he is on antihypertensive medication or medication for prostate problem. 
Sugar level of 193 should not cause any symptom except he has lost significant volume because of uncontrolled hyperhyperglycemia which can also cause orthostatic hypotension or exacerbate this adverse effect from the above medications.

Question 7

my husband is a brick mason, he showers everyday after work... but today the brick dust didnt completely come off him after intense scrubbing.. long story short we had intercourse, but he stuck a finger in and i think my vagina is having a reaction?

Accepted Answer

More likely: trauma from rough skin on his finger/hand. I know from experience with masonry and working with masons that their hands can be very rough and calloused... unless he wears waterproof gloves continuously.

Question 8
