Frequent UTI's: Causes of recurrent uti's are: bacteria entering the urethra during sexual intercourse 
urinary tract problems
problems emptying the bladder completely due to blockage, muscle or nerve problems

see a urologist to see if you have an obstruction and, if you resolve it, you can end the problem you have with your recurrent uti's. Good luck.

Question 7

so i read that beauty products and toiletries last about a yeari want to know more specifically about face wash containing salicylic acidhow long is i?

Accepted Answer

Salicyclic Acid Life: Thank you for your question.  Beauty products and toiletries have varying amounts of time they remain effective and referring to the manufacturer's guidelines and expiry dates is the best recommendation.  Face washes that contain salicyclic acid are no exception to this and inspecting the product is the best approach.  If no expiry date is listed, assessment by a medical provider is recommended.

i was diagnosed with adhd last year.i feel like its ruining my life.im always late for school,often absent.getting up in time for school is the hardest task of the day.i always forget important things.i cant stand it anymore.what can i do? please?

Accepted Answer

: I am reluctant to accept the label ADHD when diagnosed after the age of 6-7 years of age. There are too many conditions that can mimic ADHD symptoms. I would get a new opinion after a good evaluation. Improvements require a proper diagnosis for proper treatments to work.

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: Is not a sign of pregnancy. Please see your doctor to determine reason for bleeding. Take care.

Question 10

i lost 60 lbs weight wirhin 1 year.i have strech marks& does strech mark mean i have loose skin or so.what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Thinning of skin: Stretch marks are common when patients gain and lose a large amount of weight, such as in pregnancy.  As the skin stretches, collagen thins, and leaves stretch marks.  There are some treatments to improve the appearance.  If the stretch marks are red, sometimes laser can help lighten the reddness.  Retin a (tretinoin) cream (which is mainly used for acne and photoaging) can help long term but it is irritating.
