Accepted Answer

Bechet's disease: Is an autoimmune process associated with ulceration throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

Question 2

ion braclets do they work?

Accepted Answer

Agree with Doc: Agree with dr. Proffit. They look cool, probably triggering a placebo effect. We will look at anything that romises to make us feel better, golf like a pro, perform like a magician. Unfortunately, it's ghostly crap. Next time you drive by a fancy new neighborhood, stop in and have them thank you for helping pay their mortgage!...

Question 3

is the ice bucket challenge a scam?

Accepted Answer

No: It is simply raising awareness for a rare but devasting neuromuscular disease: you can send a check if you don't like ice water.

Question 4

what is age bracket for being middle age?

Accepted Answer

Up to you!: The term "middle age" isn't in my opinion, a medical term with a clear definition of a start and end point.

I think traditional medical age related associations don't really hold true as often.

We are seeing young patients with diseases of older people, and we have older patients with bodies, health and attitudes of much younger patients. 

You are as young as you want to be ;-).

Accepted Answer

Ortho bracket ?: Use dental wax if it is sticking you in the cheek -- you can get this at Pharmacy if you have none. Get in to the Orthodontist tomorrow and get it fixed. Do not try to bend anything. Good Luck.

Question 9

i am a male having aback pain problem. it started when i carried a heavy bucket. them sometimes i suddenly feel the pain. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Muscular: Paula,

Probably a muscular issue. It should go away with rest and limitation of lifting. The symptoms to watch out for are arm or leg weakness or numbness, or urinary or bowel incontinence. If you have those, seek immediate medical attention. 

Hope this helps!

Question 10

how do i know if my hymen is brocken ?

Accepted Answer

"broken" = sex: Breaking one's hymen is another way to denote virginity or having (had) sex. So if you haven't ever engaged in sexual activity whether penile, digital or foreign body, then your hymen is "intact". However, most hymen will have a small hole to allow for menstrual flow. This is not a "broken" hymen but rather normal. Check out http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/femalehealth/hymen.html for more info.
