Pap Smear: If you are truly 30 years old and a female and you do not know this, then you need immediately to get into see a gynecologist and begin your female care with this important exam that include assessing if you have any risk for cervical cancer.  

A good gynecologist will get you into good and regular practice to make sure your health is always protected.

Question 2

is pop corn healthy?

Accepted Answer

Mostly, yes: if popcorn is air popped and not covered with butter, oils, and salt, it is a reasonably healthy snack option. It does contain fiber which is good for your digestion and complex carbohydrates and is naturally low in fat and calories. When lightly buttered though, it goes from about 30 cal per cup to about 135 cal per cup. Enjoy!

Question 3

sometimes it can help but sometimes you may still need surgical release.

Question 4

are pop tarts bad for health?

Accepted Answer

Can be: They are high in unhealthy carbohydrates and some may be loaded with a lot of preservatives, dyes, etc. 
I would avoid them or limit significantly, at least.

Question 5

how can we treat p.e. in men?

Accepted Answer

PE: Pulmonary embolism?  Same way as in women.  Heparin or lmwh acutely.  Search for underlying source ( ? Dvt) and cause - hypercoag state, etc. Coumadin (warfarin) longer term.

Question 6

what is the cost of prp injection?

Accepted Answer

Varies from practice: The cost of prp is set by individual practices/physicians. It typically is not covered by insurance companies, who deem it "experimental." my practice bills $550 for a prp injection, which includes the venipuncture, the  processing of the blood, the injection, ultrasound-guidance and the office visit. I've seen some practices charge as much as $2000, but most charge $500-1000 per injection.

Question 7

i took an at home pt is it accurate?

Accepted Answer

PT=Preg test?: If you mean pregnancy test the answer is usually if positive, sometimes a false negative.

Question 8

2weeks delalyed and 2negative pt results?

Accepted Answer

See below: If you did the test correctly at two weeks after a missed period, you are not likely to be pregnant. You may see your doctor for a blood tests and/or ultrasound. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Practice safe sex.

Question 9

how many cans of pop can i have in a day?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, NONE!: Soda pop has no dietary benefits: its acids lead to tooth decay, as can sugars. High fructose corn syrup is being shown not to satisfy hunger; so we eat/drink more. Caffeine can interrupt sleep, cause jitters, make u urinate more often, cause/exacerbate reflux. Artificial sweeteners also don't turn off the "hungry sign" so we eat/drink more. If u must, 1-2 cans at most. Water/juice are better.

Question 10

if i feel pinching would a pt be positive?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: "PT" ? Is PT meant to stand for pregnancy test? What type of pinching. I am sorry but your question isn't clear. Consider clarifying and resubmitting.
