HealthHow To Start A Running Program-it Is Very Slow But Safe. by laurend1985(op): 6:41pm On Oct 29, 2012
You always had a goal to run a race one day but you did not know where to start. I have the program for you because it starts you out slowly, very slowly. This may help you from being injured or developing a lot of musculoskeletal problems; however, you will need a good pair of running shoes and a stop watch.

HealthJump Rope Fitness For Beginners by laurend1985(op): 11:09pm On Oct 13, 2012

* If you have problems with your lower extremities, ask your doctor about doing this program.


Beginner jump rope program
Jump rope for 30 to 45 seconds
Walk in place 1 minute

HealthRe: I'm Afraid I'm Infertile! by laurend1985(f): 10:42pm On Oct 11, 2012
You will probably be okay but you have to stop using an emergency contraceptive as a regular contraceptive. It might take months before your body heals itself. If you are having sex put on your big girl pants and go to the doctor to get a contraceptive or ask boyfriend to use a condom. Let's see him be responsible too.
HealthRe: I'm Afraid I'm Infertile! by laurend1985(f): 10:35pm On Oct 11, 2012
I looked it up. You hormones are probably off from using Postinor. If you need to take birth control get the pill or condoms. Stop using it that way, it's only for emergencies.


Take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex. This 2-pill dose contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel. (In some countries, a 1-pill formulation is available under the brand name Postinor 1 or Postinor2 Unidosis, and a single pill contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel.) Click here for a list of countries where Postinor and other emergency contraceptive pill brands are available, or you can search for other morning after pill brands available worldwide using our pills database.
HealthRe: I'm Afraid I'm Infertile! by laurend1985(f): 10:33pm On Oct 11, 2012
mamaxxx: Doctors in the house I need your advice on this. So there was a period of about 8 months when I bled wenever I had sexual intercourse, the bleeding usually started during and lasted till the follwoing day after intercourse. It stopped though, without medical intervention. (Please don't ask y I didn't seek medical help then)

I've had regular mensutural periods, up until 3 months back when I was on regular intake of postinor for about 2 months..which even left me bleeding atsome point for about 2 weeks.

Now I'm scared that with my past neglect of my sexual health I may have damaged something there and thus rendered myself infertile. Please talk to me!

Ps- I take my reproductive health very serious now, I've even run a couple of tests and scans which shows that everything is healthy except that I have an inverted womb, however I'm scared that the result of this my past carelessly with only surface when I try to conceive. I'm scared, I want nothing more than to be a mother.


Please also note that my patner and I have been having unprotected sex , thought he withdraws before ejaculation, but I still wonder y conception hasn't taken place. I just need reassurance
What is postinor?

The only way to tell you are infertile is to see a doctor and let him tell you. Do you want to have children with your boyfriend? Does he want to have children with you? These are the things you should be asking? You might not be infertile just unlucky but your boyfriend is using the withdrawl method of birth control, he might not be ready to have children.

Shea butter might clog your pores be careful. Do you have access to something stronger like Retin A, benzoyl peroxide, or clearasil(Salicylic Acid)
HealthRe: Any Help On Pimples by laurend1985(f): 9:31pm On Oct 10, 2012
relaxbeauty: applying lime every evening and leaving it for 20-30 minutes and washing it off works well! apply shea butter afterwards.
Shea butter might clog your pores. Can you go to a skin doctor? You might need something more powerful.

The generic name of the Rogaine is called Minoxidil and it is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication which also slows or stops hair loss and promotes hair regrowth. Now off-patent, it is available over-the-counter for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. Minoxidil must be used indefinitely for continued support of existing hair follicles and the maintenance of any experienced hair regrowth. It is marketed under many trade names, including Avacor Physician's Formulation, Loniten (oral), Mintop, Amexidil, Rogaine, Spectral.DNC, and Vanarex. Kopexil is a derivative of minoxidil missing the piperidine substituent.

The Hair max Laser comb is sold in the US and Europe. You would have to have someone buy it for you and bring it to Nigeria. Minoxidil you might be able to find at a pharmacy.

HealthRe: What Are The Side Effects Associated With Performing Cunnilingus by laurend1985(f): 10:15pm On Oct 07, 2012
shevon: Good evening. Before you guys start passing abusive comments, I just want you to know that I'm married and I love my wife.
I actually introduced her to cunninglingus and I love (and I mean really love) eating her cos her response when I do turns me on and this helps our sex life a lot.
I just want to find out if there are health implications and (if possible) how to prevent any.
Doctors in the house, please, your take.
You will be okay. You can't catch a disease if you and your wife are faithful and I never heard of catching something from MouthAction especially if it is man to woman.
Your wife should wash up after because she could get a yeast infection.
HealthRe: Arse Hole Ache by laurend1985(f): 10:09pm On Oct 07, 2012
Are you constipated? You need to eat foods with a lot of fiber and drink at least 8 glass of water. You might have hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins causing them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoid formation. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.


Hemorrhoid Symptoms

The most common symptom and sign from hemorrhoids is painless bleeding. There may be bright red blood on the outside of the stools, on the toilet paper, or dripping into the toilet. The bleeding usually is self-limiting.

Bleeding with a bowel movement is never normal and should prompt a visit to a health care practitioner. While hemorrhoids are the most common cause of bleeding with a bowel movement, there may be other reasons to have bleeding including inflammatory bowel disease, infection, and tumors.

Self-Care at Home

Symptomatic treatment for hemorrhoids can be done at home.


Warm Sitz Baths

Sitting in a few inches of warm water three times a day for 15-20 minutes may help decrease the inflammation of the hemorrhoids.

It is important to dry off the anal area completely after each Sitz bath to minimize irritation of the skin surrounding the anus.
Dietary Changes

[b]Increased fluid intake and dietary fiber (roughage) [/b]will decrease the potential for constipation and lessen the pressure on the rectum and anus during a bowel movement, minimizing further swelling, discomfort, and bleeding. Dietary fiber supplements may also help bulk up the stools
Stool Softeners

Stool softeners may help but once hemorrhoids are present, liquid stools may cause inflammation and infection of the anus. Your health care practitioner and pharmacist are good resources to discuss their use.
Activity Suggestions

Individuals with hemorrhoids should not sit for long periods of time and may benefit from sitting on an air or rubber donut available at most local pharmacies.

Exercise is helpful in relieving constipation and in decreasing pressure on the hemorrhoidal veins. Individuals should be encouraged to have a bowel movement as soon as possible after the urge arises. Once that urge passes, stools can become constipated and straining with a bowel movement may occur.
Over-the-Counter Medications

Many creams, ointments, and suppositories are available for symptom relief and may be used for comfort. However, they do not "cure" hemorrhoids. Often they contain a numbing medication or a corticosteroid to decrease inflammation and swelling.

HealthRe: Planks For Stronger Abdominal And Back Muscles. by laurend1985(op): 3:09pm On Oct 07, 2012
UmericanGirl: Planks are evil sad
I have my parents doing the beginner planks and they really feel them.
HealthPlanks For Stronger Abdominal And Back Muscles. by laurend1985(op): 7:18pm On Oct 06, 2012
Planks are for the fit and unfit.

The plank exercise has become the gold standard for core workouts (abdominal muscle and muscles that surround the spine and the back). ACE (American Council on Exercise) conducted a study in which, of the 10 best abdominal exercises, the plank ranked number 10. You don't need any equipment, so it fits right into your budget.

Most of my clients and boot-camp enthusiasts incorporate planks in their workout. I realized that everyone can do a plank, from seniors to women who are expecting. You just have to find the best plank position for your fitness level. Planks strengthen your abdominal wall; thus, providing support for your back. Anyone experiencing back pain due to weak abdominal muscle should definitely consider planks as an exercise for your rehab program.

If you never performed a plank, start with holding the static plank position for 5 to 10 seconds and gradually build up to 45 seconds to a full minute. After you have conquered basic planks, move up to the next level or to a different plank for advanced exercisers. If your lower back aches while doing the plank, you are pushing yourself to hard; drop down to a lower level.

I tried putting the pictures on this thread but they say the pictures are too large. Here's the article.
