Question 1

what is the best probiotic to treat vaginal yeast infections?  currently taking stephen langer 16 strain, 3 billion  cfu. please give exact name! :)

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Studies in probiotic use for recurrent vaginal yeast prevention have been disappointing mostly showing minimal efficacy. At this point there is not a specific brand that we can recommend.  Prevaleaf makes some good products that I recommend to my patients.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Mg: A milligram is larger than a microgram. 1 microgram is equal to .001 mg.

Question 3

why are some people "loners"?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Many of us -- myself included -- enjoy work and play without a lot of other people necessarily being around. Einstein called himself a "natural loner" though he was wise, productive & cared deeply for others. Introverts are brain-wired to prefer a low-stimulus environment. A person who lacks social skills or has or acquire mental illness may withdraw from others. The riddle is telling who is who.

Too large?: If  the weight of your breasts is causing you chronic pain than that is problematic.

Question 5

Question 7

how to help extract large deep splinter?

Accepted Answer

See below: •wash your hands
•use tweezers to grab the splinter
•if the splinter is under the skin or hard to grab: sterilize a pin or needle by soaking it in rubbing alcohol or placing the tip in a flame. Use the pin to gently remove skin over the splinter. Then use the tip of the pin to lift the end of the splinter out. You will probably still need to use tweezers.

Question 8

how safe are large dogs with small kids?

Accepted Answer

It depends: A small child should never be left alone with any size dog. However a well trained large dog should not be a problem if the child is not alone with the dog.

Question 9

what exercises can make your butt larger?

Accepted Answer

Along the lines of: Squats, lunges, leg presses and deadlifts are classics resistance exercises.  But also, any exercise which has you explosively jumping from a squatting position to standing or in the air will engage the gluteus muscles.  In fact in climbing stairs does!  Unfortunately if you consume too many calories, this will also enlarge the buttock area but because of gaining fat.

Question 10

can lunber tap pain last for several weeks?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't: I assume you are talking about a post-dural puncture headache caused after a spinal tap.  If so, the resulting headache usually lasts only a few days.  If symptoms persist despite adequate hydration and analgesic treatment, you could consider a blood patch.  A blood patch is the placement of some of your own blood in the epidural space near the source of the CSF leak.
