answer RUI question

My stomach hurts, but I don't have diarrhea, and I'm not hungry. What should I do?

Unfortunately, without knowing more specifics, I wouldn't be able to help pinpoint what might be wrong. However, I can give you some questions to ask yourself.

1. Is the pain severe? Is it so bad you want to double over and scream?

2. Is the pain recurrent? Has it been around for say, a day or more?

3. Do you have a fever? If so, is it a high fever or a low one?

4. Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

5. Does eating certain foods make the pain worse? Especially spicy foods and/or caffeinated ones?

6. Is the pain directly in your stomach? Does it move? Is it on the left or right side?

7. Did the pain start after eating excessively? Or after heavy drinking?

8. You mentioned that you don't have diarrhea, but are you constipated?

9. Is your stomach/abdomen area swollen or tender?

10. Any vomiting at all?

There are so many diseases/conditions that occur around the digestive system and abdominal area. I don't want to freak you out, or scare you. It could be something completely harmless. For instance, I recently (very much accidentally) ate a tiny piece of raw tomato. Ugh. I'm rather allergic to them, so for the next few days my stomach was in agony.

However, if you have any of the severe symptoms (vomiting, *high* fever, severe constipation) get medical aid as soon as possible.If you've been under a lot of stress lately, and/or the certain foods aggravate your symptoms, you may have the beginnings of an ulcer. If you don't have any of the above symptoms, sorry for taking up so much space.

:DIf you don't have any of the more severe symptoms above, I would suggest just coddling yourself for awhile. Get plenty of rest, non-carbonated/caffeinated liquids, and eat rather bland food.If your stomach pain gets worse, or lasts more than a few days, or leaves and returns, screw the bland food and all that. Get medical attention.

However, (once again) do jot these symptoms down in a notebook, planner, scrap paper...whatever. That way, even if this isn't anything serious (as I'm sure we're all hoping!) you can ask someone about it later. You can ask what caused it, how to treat it, how to prevent it, etc.

Anyway...good luck and I hope this helps big kiss from jessica

answer Adriana question

What is genital herpes?

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex viruses (HSV) type 1 and type 2. Most genital herpes is caused by HSV type 2.
Most people have no or minimal symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When symptoms do occur, they usually appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving ulcers or tender sores that may take up to four weeks to heal. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months later.
Although the infection can stay in the body forever, the number of outbreaks usually decreases over a period of years. You can pass genital herpes to someone else even when you experience no symptoms.

How common is genital herpes?
About 45 million Americans, age 12 and older have genital herpes. It’s estimated that up to one million people become infected each year. Genital Herpes (HSV-2) is more common in women than men.

How can I get genital herpes?
Herpes is a virus that can be passed through sexual contact. You can get genital herpes by having sex with someone who has open sores and when someone has no sores. However, herpes is most contagious when a person has open sores. People with herpes should not have sexual activity when sores or other symptoms of herpes are present. HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips or “fever blisters.” Condoms can lower the chances of getting herpes. Along with condoms, Valtrex ®, a drug used to treat herpes, can help lower the chances of passing the virus during vaginal sex.

What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
The symptoms of genital herpes vary from person to person. Some people have severe symptoms, such as many painful sores, while others have mild symptoms. An initial outbreak of genital herpes usually brings about symptoms within two weeks of having sexual contact with an infected person and can last from two to three weeks. The early symptoms can include:
an itching or burning feeling in the genital or anal area
flu-like symptoms, including fever
swollen glands
pain in the legs, buttocks, or genital area
vaginal discharge
a feeling of pressure in the area below the stomach
Within a few days, sores (also called lesions) show up where the virus has entered the body, such as on the mouth, penis, or vagina. Sores can also show up on a woman’s cervix, which is the opening to the uterus or womb, or in the urinary passage in men. The sores are small red bumps that may turn into blisters or painful open sores. Over a period of days, the sores become crusted and then heal without scarring.
Other later symptoms of genital herpes may include:
small red bumps on the penis, vagina, or wherever the infection began. These bumps may become blisters or painful open sores that can take up to four weeks to heal.
itching or burning in the genital area
pain in the legs, buttocks, or genital area
vaginal discharge
feeling pressure or discomfort around your stomach
fever
headache
muscle aches
pain when urinating
swollen glands in the genital area
Some people may have no symptoms – but they can still spread herpes! Sometimes only very mild sores appear, but are mistaken for an insect bite or other skin problems. If you have HIV, a genital herpes infection can be worse.
If you have herpes, do not have any sexual activity with someone who does not have herpes when you have sores or other symptoms of herpes. Even if you don’t have symptoms, you can still pass the virus to others.

Can genital herpes come back?
Yes. Herpes symptoms can come and go, but the virus stays in the nerve cells of your body even after all signs of the infection have gone away. In most people, the virus becomes “active” from time to time, creating an outbreak. Some people have herpes virus outbreaks only once or twice. Other people have many outbreaks of herpes each year. Scientists don't know what causes the virus to become active, but the number of outbreaks a person has tends to go down over a period of years. Some women say the virus comes back when they are sick, under stress, out in the sun, or during their period.

How do I know for sure if I have genital herpes?
Doctors can diagnose genital herpes by looking at visible sores if the outbreak is typical, and by taking a sample from the sore for testing in a lab. Herpes can be difficult to diagnose between outbreaks. Blood tests, which detect HSV-1 or HSV-2 antibodies, can help to detect herpes in people without symptoms or during the time between outbreaks.

What is the treatment for genital herpes?
There is no treatment that can cure genital herpes; the virus will always be in your body. Certain drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir can shorten outbreaks and make them less severe, or stop them from happening. Depending on your needs, your doctor can give you drugs to take right after getting outbreak symptoms or drugs that you can take on a regular basis to try to stop outbreaks from happening. When used along with safe sex practices, Valacyclovir (brand name Valtrex ®) can also help prevent you from passing the infection to someone else. Talk to your doctor about which treatment plan is best for you.
During outbreaks, these steps can speed healing and prevent spreading of the infection to other sites of the body or to other people.
Keep the infected area clean and dry.
Try not to touch the sores.
Wash hands after contact.
Avoid sexual contact from the time the symptoms are first noticed until the sores have healed.

Is there a cure for genital herpes?
No. Once you have the virus, it stays in your body and there is a chance that you will have outbreaks. Medicine can shorten and stop outbreaks from happening.

Does genital herpes cause problems during pregnancy?
Yes. If the mother is having her first outbreak while she is pregnant, she is more likely to pass the virus to her baby. If the outbreak is not the first one, the baby's risk of getting the virus is very low. Babies born with herpes may be premature or may die, or they may have brain damage, severe rashes, or eye problems. Doctors may do a C-section to deliver a baby if the mother has herpes lesions near the birth canal to help prevent passing the virus. Also, acyclovir can help babies born with herpes if they are treated right away.
It is not yet known if all genital herpes drugs are safe for pregnant women to take. Some doctors may recommend acyclovir be taken either as a pill or through an IV (a needle into a vein) during pregnancy. Let your doctor know if you have genital herpes, even if you are not having an outbreak. He or she will help you manage it safely during pregnancy.

Can I breastfeed if I have genital herpes?
If you have genital herpes, you can keep breastfeeding as long as the sores are covered. Herpes is spread through contact with sores and can be dangerous to a newborn. If you have sores on your nipple or areola, the darker skin around the nipple, you should stop breastfeeding on that breast. Pump or hand express your milk from that breast until the sore clears. Pumping will help keep up your milk supply and prevent your breast from getting engorged or overly full. You can store your milk to give to your baby in a bottle at another feeding. If the parts of your breast pump that contact the milk also touch the sore(s) while pumping, you should throw the milk away.

What can I do to prevent genital herpes?
There are things you can do to protect yourself from getting genital herpes:
Don’t have sex. The best way to prevent any STD is to practice abstinence, or not having vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
Be faithful. Have a sexual relationship with one partner who has been tested for herpes and is not infected is another way to reduce your chances of getting infected. Be faithful to each other, meaning that you only have sex with each other and no one else.
Use condoms. Protect yourself with a latex condom EVERY time you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Condoms should be used for any type of sex with every partner. For vaginal sex, use a latex male condom or a female polyurethane condom. For anal sex, use a latex male condom. For oral sex, use a dental dam. A dental dam is a rubbery material that can be placed over the anus or the vagina before sexual contact.
Know that some methods of birth control, like birth control pills, shots, implants, or diaphragms, will not protect you from STDs. If you use one of these methods, be sure to also use a latex condom or dental dam (used for oral sex) correctly every time you have sex.
Talk with your sex partner(s) about STDs and using latex condoms. It’s up to you to make sure you are protected. Remember, it’s YOUR body! For more information, call the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at (800) 232-4636.
Talk frankly with your doctor or nurse and your sex partner(s) about any STDs you or your partner have or had. Try not to be embarrassed.
Know the symptoms. Learn the common symptoms of genital herpes and other STDs. Seek medical help right away if you think you may have genital herpes or another STD.

What should I do if I have genital herpes?
See your doctor for testing and treatment right away.
Follow your doctor’s orders and finish all the medicine that you are given. Even if the symptoms go away, you still need to finish all of the medicine.
Avoid having any sexual activity while you are being treated for genital herpes and while you have any symptoms of an outbreak.
Be sure to tell your sexual partners, so they can be tested.
Remember that genital herpes is a life long disease. Even though you may have long periods with no symptoms, you can still pass the virus to another person. Talk with your doctor about what you can do to have fewer future outbreaks, and how to prevent passing the virus to another person.

answer dina question

If you're a teen, chances are pretty good that you have some acne. Almost 8 in 10 teens have acne, along with many adults.

Acne is so common that it's considered a normal part of puberty. But knowing that doesn't always make it easier when you're looking at a big pimple on your face in the mirror. So what is acne, and what can you do about it?

What Is Acne and What Causes It?Acne is a condition of the skin that shows up as different types of bumps. These bumps can be blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts. Teens get acne because of the hormonal changes that come with puberty. If your parents had acne as teens, it's more likely that you will, too. The good news is that, for most people, acne goes away almost completely by the time they are out of their teens.

The type of acne that a lot of teens get is called acne vulgaris (the meaning of "vulgaris" isn't as bad as it sounds — it means "of the common type"). It usually shows up on the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest.

The hair follicles, or pores, in your skin contain sebaceous glands (also called oil glands). These glands make sebum, which is an oil that lubricates your hair and skin. Most of the time, the sebaceous glands make the right amount of sebum. As a teen's body begins to mature and develop, though, hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum, and the glands may become overactive. Pores become clogged if there is too much sebum and too many dead skin cells. Bacteria (especially one called Propionibacterium acnes) can then get trapped inside the pores and multiply, causing swelling and redness — the start of acne.

If a pore gets clogged up and closes but bulges out from the skin, you're left with a whitehead. If a pore gets clogged up but stays open, the top surface can darken and you're left with a blackhead. Sometimes the wall of the pore opens, allowing sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells to make their way under the skin — and you're left with a small, red bump called a pimple (sometimes pimples have a pus-filled top from the body's reaction to the bacterial infection). Clogged pores that open up very deep in the skin can cause nodules, which are infected lumps or cysts that are bigger than pimples and can be painful.

There are a few myths out there about things that cause acne. Acne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french fries or pizza, chomping on chocolate, or drinking sodas. Some people do find that they notice their breakouts get more severe when they eat too much of a certain food, though. If you're one of them, it's worth trying to cut back on that food to see what happens.

Stress doesn't usually cause acne either (although it can make existing acne worse because stress increases sebum production).

There are also myths about what helps make acne better. Acne isn't really helped by the sun. Although a tan can temporarily make acne look less severe, it won't help it go away permanently — and some people find that the oils their skin produces after being in the sun make their pimples worse.

What Can I Do About Acne?To help prevent the oil buildup that can contribute to acne, wash your face twice a day with a mild soap and warm water. Don't scrub your face hard with a washcloth — acne can't be scrubbed away, and scrubbing may actually make it worse by irritating the skin and pores. Try cleansing your face as gently as you can.

If you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." This means it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne. And when you are washing your face, be sure you take the time to remove all of your makeup so it doesn't clog your pores.
If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog pores. If you have long hair that touches your face, be sure to wash it frequently enough to keep oil away. And if you have an after-school job that puts you in contact with oil — like in a fast-food restaurant or gas station, for example — be sure to wash your face well when you get home. It can also help to wash your face after you've been exercising.

Many over-the-counter lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are available to help prevent acne and clear it up at the same time. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly — don't use more than you're supposed to at one time (your skin may get too dried out and feel and look worse) and follow any directions to see if you're allergic to it first.

What if I Get Acne Anyway?Sometimes even though they wash properly and try lotions and oil-free makeup, people get acne anyway — and this is totally normal. In fact, some girls who normally have a handle on their acne may find that it comes out a few days before they get their period. This is called premenstrual acne, and about 7 out of 10 women get it from changes in hormones in the body.

Some teens who have acne can get help from a doctor or dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in skin problems). A doctor may treat the acne with prescription medicines. Depending on the person's acne, this might mean using prescription creams that prevent pimples from forming, taking antibiotics to kill the bacteria that help create pimples, or if the acne is severe, taking stronger medicines such as isotretinoin, or even having minor surgery. Some girls find that birth control pills help to clear up their acne.

If you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don't touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it. This might be hard to do — it can be pretty tempting to try to get rid of a pimple. But when you play around with pimples, you can cause even more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Plus, the oil from your hands can't help! More important, though, picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars on your face.

well a big kiss and have a sweet day jessica

answer michel question (what is rabies)

Rabies is a viral infection of the brain and spinal cord that is almost always fatal. The rabies virus is carried in the saliva of infected animals and is typically transmitted through an animal bite, though contamination of any break in the skin with infected saliva may result in rabies. In developing countries, dog bites are responsible for the overwhelming majority of cases. In developed countries, canine rabies is largely controlled through vaccination and most cases are related to wildlife exposure. In the United States, most cases are attributable to raccoons, skunks, and bats.


The incubation period usually ranges from 20 to 90 days, but may be substantially longer. Initial symptoms may include numbness, tingling, and itching at the site of the healed bite wound, as well as fever, headache, malaise, mood swings, and personality changes. This is followed several days later by hydrophobia (the classic rabies symptom), producing uncontrollable spasms at even the sight of water, as well as aerophobia (fear of air), hallucinations, agitation, and increasing lethargy, progressing inexorably to coma. A smaller number of rabies patients develop paralysis as their main symptom, followed by mental deterioration and coma.

Between 1980 and 1992, ten American travelers died from rabies contracted while abroad, indicating a low but measurable risk. Administration of rabies immune globulin and rabies vaccine after an animal bite or scratch, as described below, is highly effective in preventing rabies. Rabies vaccine before travel is therefore reserved for those at high risk for rabies exposure, such as animal handlers and spelunkers (cave explorers), and for those who may be at risk for animal bites and may not have access to postexposure treatment if necessary, either because they will be visiting remote, inaccessible areas or because supplies of the appropriate biologicals may not be available. Some poorer countries may not have rabies immune globulin or may offer only one of the older, brain-tissue-derived rabies vaccines, which are much less effective than tissue- and avian-culture vaccines, are painful, and sometimes cause neuroparalytic reactions, including meningoencephalitis, mononeuritis multiplex, tranverse myelitis, and ascending paralysis of the Landry type.

Travelers who require rabies vaccine before departure should receive a total of three 1.0-ml doses, injected into the deltoid muscle, on days 0, 7, and 21 or 28. Three types of vaccine are currently licensed in the United States: human diploid cell vaccine (HDCV), rabies vaccine adsorbed (RVA), and purified chick embryo cell vaccine (PCEC). All appear to be safe and effective. The most frequent reaction is pain, swelling, redness, or itching at the injection site. Other side-effects may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, muscle aches, or dizziness. Allergic reactions are occasionally reported after booster doses of HDCV. The three-dose series appears to be effective for at least two years. Those who remain at risk for rabies two years after immunization should either be tested for rabies antibodies or given a single booster dose of vaccine. Immunosuppressed individuals who receive rabies vaccine should be tested for rabies antibodies before departure.

All animal bites and scratches must be promptly and thoroughly cleaned with large amounts of soap and water, whether or not the person has received rabies vaccine, and the local health authorities should be contacted. If there is a risk for rabies and the victim has not been vaccinated, he or she should immediately receive rabies immune globulin (infiltrating as much as possible into the bite site and giving the remainder intramuscularly) and should immediately start a five dose series of rabies vaccine, to be given on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Those who have been previously vaccinated should be given a dose of rabies vaccine on days 0 and 3 and no immune globulin. In a country where rabies is endemic, postexposure treatment should be given whether or not the attack was "provoked". Pregnancy is not a contraindication to postexposure treatment.
The only rabies immune globulin available in the United States and Canada is human rabies immune globulin. The recommended dosage after rabies exposure is 20 IU/kg. Two other types of rabies immune globulin, non-pepsin-digested (non-purified) equine rabies immune globulin (ERIG) and ammonium-sulfate-precipitated (purified) ERIG, may be given in other countries. Purified ERIG appears to be considerably safer: only 0.0025% of those receiving it develop anaphylactic (severe allergic) reactions, compared to 3.8% of those receiving the non-purified preparation. The recommended dosage of ERIG is 40 IU/kg.
Antimalarial drugs may interfere with the immune response to rabies vaccine when it is given in a dosage of 0.1 ml by the intradermal route, which is sometimes done to reduce costs. Rabies vaccine should not be given by the intradermal route if there isn't time to complete immunization before starting malaria prophylaxis.
Any traveler who receives treatment for rabies exposure while abroad should be reassessed after returning home.

NOTICE: On April 2, 2004, the manufacturer of IMOVAX Rabies Vaccine (Aventis Pasteur) announced that several lots of vaccine had been found to contain live rabies virus that had not been fully inactivated. In the United States, lot numbers X0667-2, X0667-3, W1419-2, and W1419-3, which were distributed from September 23, 2003 through April 2, 2004, have been recalled. For a list of the lots recalled in other countries, go to the Centers for Disease Controlwebsite. No unusual adverse events associated with the recalled vaccine have been reported to date. Health care providers should contact persons who received recalled vaccine and follow the recommendations outlined by the Centers for Disease Control. Any persons who received rabies vaccine between September 23, 2003, and April 2, 2004, should contact their physician to determine if they received vaccine from one of the recalled lots and, if so, whether they need further evaluation.

Rabies
Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease which infects domestic and wild animals. It is transmitted to other animals and humans through close contact with saliva from infected animals (i.e. bites, scratches, licks on broken skin and mucous membranes). Once symptoms of the disease develop, rabies is fatal to both animals and humans.
Approximately 55 000 people die from rabies each year. The vast majority of these deaths occur in Asia and Africa. Children are at particular risk. Annually, more than 10 million people, mostly in Asia, receive post-exposure vaccination against the disease.

Two types of vaccines to protect against rabies in humans exist - nerve tissue and cell culture vaccines. The nerve tissue vaccines cause more reactions subsequent to administration and are less potent, but also less expensive, than cell culture vaccines. WHO recommends replacement of nerve tissue vaccines with the more efficacious, safer vaccines developed through cell culture. It also advises that cell culture vaccines that have been specifically authorized for intradermal immunization represent an acceptable alternative to standard administration by the intramuscular route. Administration through the intradermal route should be considered in settings where cell culture vaccines are unaffordable and/or in short supply. Periodic booster injections of rabies vaccine for persons whose occupation puts them at continuous or frequent risk of rabies exposure are advised.
