Question 1

Question 2

Warm compresses: If it continues to pain or bleed, see a dermatologist.

Question 3

so i'm 16 and started birth control 2 weeks ago, i began to realize that i grew like a lump, or a bean sized mass on right underneath my nipple help?

Accepted Answer

Patience: The increased estrogen from the pill can result in some increased breast tissue density - that will likely recede as the ovaries are suppressed by the pill.  It would be safe to continue self breast exams and it the mass persists or enlarges then see your ob/gyn for evaluation and management.

Losing weight: To lose weight, get ur resting metabolism rate done(weight loss centers do this). This determines the total number of calories you need to lose 1-2lbs/week. Decreasing 500cal/day will give you a 1lb wt loss in 1wk; drink water (1/2 your body weight), eat small meals about 150-200cal 2-4x/(depending on your metabolism rate) and 500cal/meal at night: lean protein/veggies; avoid carbs, .

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Eat more: to gain mass you need to eat more calories than you use in a day. You also need to challenge your muscle with strength training. Adequate protein for muscle mass gain is between 1-1.5 grams per kilo of present weight.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Clear margins: Depending on the nature of a mass, the edges may be clearly discernible or diffuse. Discrete implies readily identified margins. The rest depends on the clinical context.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 9

i want to gain mass, give me a precious piece of advice?

Accepted Answer

High weight low reps: First of all, always perform slow movements and keep your form strict. Higher weights to allow only six to eight reps per set will stimulate muscle growth.  Three or four sets each of three exercises per muscle group. Work each muscle group once weekly.

Question 10

which foods can i eat to gain healthy weight to gain mass?

Accepted Answer

Calories + protein: The addition of calorie dense foods such as nuts, whole grain pastas, raisins, whole milk, pure fruit juices, butter, avocado, and complex carbohydrates is a healthy way to add more calories to your diet.  Lean proteins are also important.    Exercising to build muscle mass will increase weight and metabolism, and improve overall mood and health.  Good luck!
