Question 1

what parts are removed in fgm cutting?

Accepted Answer

Female genitalia: Female genital mutilation (fgm), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is defined by the world health organization (who) as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.".

Question 2

how is an i.u.d. removed without pain?

Accepted Answer

Almost without pain: Iud removal is typically very quick and should cause only minor cramping.  It is a good idea to take some  Ibuprofen before having this done so that it will minimize any discomfort you might experience.  If the iud string is not seen, it may be more difficult as your doctor will need to go inside the cervical canal and look for the string.

Question 4

what modern medicines are made from plant extracts?

Accepted Answer

Fun to know: The list includes aspirin, quinine / quinidine, digitalis, morphine, the vinca alkaloids, taxols, atropine, ipecac, and senna. These are as powerful, for their uses, as any synthetics. There are a huge number of "traditional healing plants" from "herbal" / "Ayurvedic" medicine that are mildly effective, ineffective, or harmful. The whole business cries out for good work.

Question 5

what foods should be avoided after the gallbaldder is removed?

Accepted Answer

NO diet restrictions: Presumably you had a 'fatty-food intolerance' before gallbladder surgery.
Generally after gallbladder removal there are no diet restrictions.  You may experience 'looser stools' after surgery due to 'free-flow' of bile in G.I. Tract but that can be counter-acted with 'a little' Metamucil 3x/day.

Question 6

i havr a nutri bullet it extracts food. is it healthier than a juicer?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Many gadgets grind, puree, or otherwise mash up or break down food into more easily digestible particles. Before the days of gadgets, we just chopped up, cooked, and chewed our food. Whatever the gadget, one must figure out what's in the end product. For example, if many fruits are put into such a machine, then fruit juice is the end product... And fruit juice has too much sugar.

Question 7

why is the prostate removed?

Accepted Answer

benign prostate hyperplasia causing urinary obstruction to relieve obstruction
carcinoma of prostate in some cases.

Question 8

can chalazion have to be removed?

Accepted Answer

No: Sometimes conservative treatment with warm compresses will cause them to resolve.  Some will resolve with an injection of steroids.

Question 9

how is dust removed from the body?

Accepted Answer

GI tract: Dust that gets into your mouth and is swallowed is eliminated by normal GI tract motility and digestion.  Dust that you inhale will be trapped by the lining of the breathing tubes and is carried towards the pharynx by constant ciliary action from where it is swallowed and eliminated by the GI tract.  The eye flushes dust into the throat by tear and lid action and the nose has flushing action also.

Question 10

can you have your bladder removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes but . . .: Why? Talk to your doc about what's going on in your life that would make you ask this question. Yes, the bladder can be removed, but usually only when someone has extensive bladder cancer. Frequent urinary tract infections are not enough reason for surgery. Nor urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control). You mentioned constipation which can sometimes aggravate/cause incontinence. Fix that 1st.
