Question 1

what causes a wound to weep?

Accepted Answer

Swelling: Not a lot of information from your question. Going to presume the weeping is clear liquid in which case it's likely that the wound is near a swollen limb such as a venous ulcer of the leg. Need to control the swelling with a compressive bandage to affect healing.

Question 4

what causes an ecu tendon to tear?

Accepted Answer

Repetitive extension: Multiple causes can lead to extensor carpi ulnaris tendon pathology. The mechanism to "tear" would be loading the tendon by extension and radial deviation repetitively or a significant lift resisting this motion. Secondly inflammatory processes like rheumatoid arthritis and gout can weaken the tendon prior to tear.  Finally an old fracture or RA with prominent ulna can compromise the ecu tendon.

Question 10

there is a tear part of my hymen and i can see a small hole on it and its slightly painful, what causes this and what should i do? still a virgin btw

Accepted Answer

You don't need to: do anything unless it is bothering you.  A female's hymen is not likely to be competely intact at age 18. If there were no  holes in the hymen - blood would not be able to exit the body during your period. On the other hand,  If you are having continual pain - get it checked out.
