Question 2

how to reduce buttock fats?

Accepted Answer

See Dr., and then...: Helpful weight loss diets have natural foods that take time to chew but contain few calories. Examples include carrots, celery, and iceberg lettuce (little/no salad dressing). When shopping for fruits, buy small ones no bigger than a tennis ball, because fruits have sugar. Drinks without calories include water and green tea. A calorie is a calorie, but surely avoid sugar & simple starch calories.

Question 3

what causes pain in one buttock?

Accepted Answer

Nerve: If the pain is in one buttock and goes down the leg you possibly should be checked out for sciatic nerve.

Question 4

how to fix bursa on the shoulder?

Accepted Answer

You can't.: The bursa in the shoulder is a potential space between the acromion (bone on top of the shoulder) and the rotator cuff.  If you have a bursitis, you can treat it with an occasional steroid injection.  If the pain persists you may need to have a surgery to take out the bursa.  Get an evaluation with a shoulder specialist.

Question 5

do thumbs have bursa?

Accepted Answer

No: There is a bursa at the level of the wrist involving the flexor polices longs tendon but not in the thumb itself.

Question 6

what's  subacromial bursa?

Accepted Answer

Normal structure: Its a fluid filled sack between the rotator cuff and the acromion.  It resides below the acromion, hence "sub-acromial".  It functions to help the rotator cuff glide smoothly below the acromial bone.  When a sub acromial bone spur irritates it, you get subacromial bursitis, or impingement syndrome of the shoulder.  This can be painful, and a risk factor for rotator cuff tears in the future.  Its usually treated with anti-inflammatory meds, pt, and rest.  If not better, a work up is warranted.

Question 7

causes of boil on the buttock?

Accepted Answer

: Depends. These often arise when germs enter the hair glands at their base and fester or germs planted from scratching. Those near the anus may arise from a fistula inside the large intestine.  Aggressive boils suggest you have a resident colony of staph in your nose.

Question 8

when i orgasm, my buttock hurts?

Accepted Answer

Muscle Spasm: Sounds like you are having a muscle spasm in your buttocks. The act of intercourse can result in a pretty vigorous work out of the buttock muscles. This could be the cause of the pain. Exercising your buttock muscles on a regular basis should make the muscles stronger and therefore less like to have pain when you are having intercourse.

Question 9

why does only my left buttock itch?

Accepted Answer

Fascinating question: Commonly, when something itches, it must be scratched.  However, picking at your buttocks is an unsightly thing, even here in the backwoods of texas.  It is hard to see your face through this monitor, and your rear is even harder to visualize.  Probably the best thing you could do would be to show your derriere to a doctor.  Maybe you have a rash you cannot see?

Question 10

why does my left buttock itch but not the right?

Accepted Answer

Asymmetry: Our bodies are bilaterally symmetric, but not exactly so. So one organ may be slightly bigger than the one on the other side. Sweating is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and can be different one side to another.  Total absence of itching on one side should be checked by by your doctor.
