Question 1

i've got growth in my testicles balls(eggs) it's like i have 3 balls(eggs) what could be the problem and can i get help over the counter medicine?

Accepted Answer

: The most common cause of this sort of thing is hydrocele, a cyst filled with fluid. Hydroceles usually are harmless, but can be removed or otherwise treated if large or otherwise bothersome. There are other possibilities as well, including  various infections, tumors, and more. No OTC medicines will help at all and might delay necessary health care. See a urologist soon. Good luck.

Question 2

is it ok to eat raw eggs?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most health care professionals recommend against one of the main reasons being salmonella. Having said that the bacteria are usually outside in the shell. If the shell is thoroughly cleaned, getting the white/yolk to a glass to drink it without bacteria is more likely. Having said that most will recommend not to do it. I must admit I do it sometimes though.

Question 3

what are the benefits of eating uncooked or raw egg? and when should be taken?

Accepted Answer

Raw eggs bad.: Raw eggs contain bacteria that can make you sick.  Eggs are fine if they're cooked.

Question 4

could it be healthy to drink raw egg?

Accepted Answer

No: Raw eggs can sometimes be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria which can cause serious illness. Eggs should be cooked until the whites are opaque. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 5

how much time does a raw egg take to digest?

Accepted Answer

Same as any: other protein. varies a bit but a few hours. gets out of the stomach by 20 to 60 minutes.

Question 6

what could happen if i got some raw egg on my open cut?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It really depends.  It might be fine, but the concern would be any potential infection including samonella.  I would certainly wash it with warm, soapy water using an antibacterial soap.  If you get any redness or drainage over the next few days, i would sure have it seen about.  Thank you for your question.

Question 7

can you please tell me about health benefits and risks of eating raw eggs?

Accepted Answer

No benefits: There are no benefits but there is a major risk of salmonella infection if you do consume raw eggs.

Question 8

how much high is the risk of getting salmonella eating raw eggs and what are the factors that could influence the presence of salmonella?

Accepted Answer

Pretty good risk: There is a pretty significant risk if you eat raw eggs or undercooked eggs.  The only factor that could make a difference is if you appropriately cook the eggs.

Question 9

what do raw eggs taste like? what benefits does it provide?

Accepted Answer

Avoid them.: Raw eggs can carry bacteria, like salmonella, and cooking them is recommended.  I have not tasted them, so don't know what they taste like, and I have never been tempted to try them!  See http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/salmonella_enteritidis/
