Question 2

my fecal matter is rust colored.  should i go see my doctor about it?

Accepted Answer

Would not hurt: It is difficult to know what you mean by rust colored. If you have any doubt that you may be bleeding in your intestine, it would be prudent to see your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 3

i found tiny rust colored worms on my mattress what do i do if they went in my nose?

Accepted Answer

See below: The worms are probably not worrisome for parasitic attack or infection.  If the worm crawls into your nose, symptoms would be like having a foreign object inside:
•constant nasal discharge from one nostril.
•foul odor. Pus or blood drains from a nostril.
•pain, swelling, and/or tenderness.
See your doctor if you have these symptoms.

Question 5

Question 6

34 female. oily (rust-colored), foul smelling diarrhea after eating tonight. been having some mild nausea after eating this past week. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Acute diarrhea: You are undergoing an episode of acute diarrhea. which can be from infections;viral, bacterial, fungal, food intolerance, usually go away in few days.
Acute, watery diarrhea is usually caused by a virus (viral gastroenteritis.) Medications such as antibiotics and drugs that contain magnesium products are also common offenders. Recent dietary changes can also lead to acute diarrhea. These include intake of coffee, tea, colas, dietetic foods, gums or mints that contain poorly absorbable sugars. Acute bloody diarrhea suggests a bacterial cause like Campylobacter, Salmonella or Shigella. Eating contaminated foods such as ground beef or fresh fruit can cause diarrhea due to E.coli 0157:H7. Diarrhea associated with recent antibiotic use suggests an infection with Clostridium difficile.
Most episodes of acute diarrhea resolve quickly and without antibiotic therapy with simple dietary modifications. See a doctor if you feel ill, have bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain or diarrhea lasting more than 48 hours.

Question 7

i've been experiencing a rust colored discharge.  how do i make it stop? last month, i was on a birth control that had me bleed for the whole month, when they were over i menstruated normally and then the discharge started to happen.  it went away for abo

Accepted Answer

It : It may be that you need a different formula of birth control pills, with a different combination of estrogen/progesterone.  Hormone balance can affect spotting which is what i suspect your discharge is.  I am very glad that you had a complete medical evaluation. It would be reasonable to call the physician who saw you and ask about your birth control preparation.  Also, the antibiotics can affect the efficacy of the birth control pills.

Question 8
