Question 1

i have hsv1 and get break outs about once a year only on my lip. i met someone who has hsv1 as well but she gets body breakouts and on her anus. already having the virus can it spread to other parts of my body and how common is it to do that?

Accepted Answer

HSV transmission: Are you sure your potential partner's herpes is definitely HSV1, not HSV2? Genital or anal HSV1 usually has only rare outbreaks, usually less than once a year. HSV2 tends to be more frequent. If she definitely has HSV1, then neither of you can infect the other. People are immune to repeat infection, anywhere on the body, with the HSV type they already have. Maybe retest partner's HSV type.

Question 2

what affects can not pooping have on your body and organs?

Accepted Answer

Sewage Backs Up!: Failure to elimnate waste allows reabsorption of toxins your body is trying to get rid of as well as failure to expel new toxins getting in daily.  Think of your commode full of sewage if it backed up all over the floor. Same idea in the body.  Things are shutting down and not working well.  Effects will vary according to each tissue affected.  Beter to make sure you eliminate daily.

Question 3

why does poop get harder the longer it stays inside the body?

Accepted Answer

Loss of water: Colon absorbs water from stool and it if sits in the colon it will get dehydrated and hard. 
Wish you 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, if you have sex.

Question 4

which part of my body determines if the food i eat becomes poop or stored fat?

Accepted Answer

Intestine: The intestinal lining is terrific at treating  food and separating what is to be absorbed from what remains in the intestine to be passed as stool.  This is supplemented a little by the liver which adds things in the bile to the stool output.  Fat is usually absorbed and will be stored if you ingest more than your body can metabolize.

Question 5

am trying to have a baby but i take time to poop does it have any effect on my body?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Taking time to poop would not affect your health or reproductive ability. You should see a doctor and take pre-natal vitamins and get a general check up.

Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 6

i have very dark brown poop for 1week but i don't feel any pain in my body. no pain during pooping too?

Accepted Answer

Brown OK: Dark brown is fine. It means that it is moving slowly and is absorbing a lot of bile to give it its color. If it is dark black and tarry- that would be a concern or if bright red blood is noticed that would require attention. As long as there is no pain and its color is dark brown- that is normal.

Question 7

how long can you go without pooping? i mean i don't have to poop but i'm wondering. is it okay for the body not to poop?

Accepted Answer

Bowel movements: Frequency of bowel movements vary greatly from several times a day to just once weekly. What's most important is non-liquid stool that doesn't require strenuous pushing &amp; straining. Diarrhea is liquid stool while constipation is hard stool that's difficult to evacuate. Try to eat more fiber, drink more fluids &amp; exercise regularly to naturally regulate bowel function &amp; prevent constipation.

Question 8

my body isn't trying to push poop out, i get the feeling of needing to go, but when i get on the toliet, i don't start going, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods.

Wish you good health!

Question 9

i'm so constipated when i push i can i really feel like i'm not pushing what can i do to get all of this poop out of my body can something suck it out?

Accepted Answer

Enema: An enema may be your best bet.  You should pick up a few at your local pharmacy and see if this helps you pass this large bulky stool.

Question 10

is my body breaking down its food correctly when i poop after i eat?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: Our bodies can react to the ingestion of food with what is called gastrocolic reflex which stimulates our bowels and have a bowel movement right after we eat. However, these are waste products not from the food you had just ingested but rather from hours prior to that meal.
