Question 1

my daughter age6 has a very large unexplained bruise starting just under her knee and finishing above her ankle. she has marian's syndrome.

Accepted Answer

Response: Hi Joe, 
Do you mean marfans syndrome? I have searched online and it looks like there may be a cross over in terms of Marian's to Marfans.

If this is the case, Marfans syndrome, is a problem with connective tissue. Tissue that holds joints, stablizes blood supplies. The bruise around the knee joint maybe developing into a hematoma which is a small pocket of blood leaking into the weak tissue.

Question 2

in the marine corp do they offer semen tests?

Accepted Answer

Is this a Navy joke?: Elaborate question please. Usmc has health benefits like other branches of service, so if clinically indicated, could have semen analysis performed. Dna testing / "id" done differently (cheek swab), if that is what you mean. No arbitrary testing.

Question 3

measurements of vintage hollywood ladies, sophia loren, 38-24-38marilyn monroe, 36-23-37ava gardner, 36-23-37. how did they get and keep that fig?

Accepted Answer

Mostly genetic: Body image is too often a distraction. Be healthy and fit as you care to be. Mostly be with those who love you. Give to those who you can.

Question 4

if you have marfan syndrome, will they know it immediately after you are born?

Accepted Answer

Not if mild features: Marfan syndrome persons can have mild or moderate symptoms, so they can look pretty normal as babies. The physical features of taller height, long arms, long fingers, flat feet, high-arched palate, small lower jaw, chest deformities, abnormal back curves, etc..., become more obvious later as they grow up.

Question 5

what do lymph nodes feel like? can they ever just feel like fluid with no margins?

Accepted Answer

No: Lymph nodes are like little beans. The feel like beans of various sizes but similar shapes. Areas of multiple enlarged beans can mean a problem. If the beans grow together in a mass and start to stick together or onto something else, that can mean a big problem. Individual, movable beans less than a nickel in diameter are usually ok in kids, teens, and young adults... but may need an exam by a Dr.

Question 6

why does my husband shair marijana with his female co worker while working at nite are they having sex?

Accepted Answer

Marijuana: First off why are they smoking marijuana at work to begin with, that is very irresponsible. If you are worried that he is being unfaithful ask him about it and tell him how you feel. My conclusion however is there is not much respect coming from him in any direction given his actions.

Question 7

today i had bloody maroon colored diarrhea. recently had a colonoscopy that found nothing. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Source could be : Higher up such as small bowel or stomach. Talk to your GI doctor as u may need an egd and if thats negative a small bowel capsule study.

Question 8

when u say that its common to have xtrabeats from atria do they usually come from the sinus or r they ectopic? if u have ectopic r they more malign?

Accepted Answer

Ectopic: We don't generally talk about "extra" beats coming from the sinus node, as those are normal sinus beats. Rather, extra beats or PACs come from an ectopic focus, but isolated PACs are generally a common and benign finding.

Question 9

i want to do martial arts but mom says they are not ladylike. what if i need to defend myself?

Accepted Answer

Try different tactic: Martial arts has nothing to do w/being ladylike. If that's her concern, you'll never convince her otherwise. Instead, explain how practicing martial arts will develop your physical fitness, strength & endurance. It will improve your discipline & help you set & reach goals. It will develop your self-confidence. All these are important qualities for men & women. In addition to defending yourself!

Question 10

ive had my merina iud for 4 months today after intercouse with my husband i had bright red blood as i wiped and the completely gone is this normal.

Accepted Answer

Normal: This can sometimes happen from the mirena and the physical impact against the cervix and uterus. As long as the bleeding has completely stopped, it is not an emergency. However, be sure to call your OBGYN office to let her know of the symptoms, and pay close attention to other times you may notice bleeding. It may provide clues to another cause. Hang in there!!
