Health Issues
Questions:
- Is urinating painful when you have your period? Mine is. Sould I be concerned?
- I found out that my triglyceride level is almost 600. What exactly are triglycerides, and how can I lower my level?
- I am considering gastric bypass surgery. Is this a good idea?
- My daughter seems to have a cold that she just can't shake. Could it be allergies?
- Shouldn't asthma be treated with inhalers?
- My 8-year-old is scheduled for allergy testing. What can we expect?
- It hasn't been too terribly hot. Do I need to worry about sunscreen this early in the season?
- What's the truth about playing in the rain? Doesn't the cold, damp weather make you more susceptible to a virus?
- I've heard you should eat dried fruit if you're anemic because they're high in iron. Is that true?
- Could you tell me what to look for in a good toothbrush and how often one needs to be replaced?
- Is flossing really that important? If so, how is it done properly and is it necessary for children?
- I recently read that mouthwash can actually worsen bad breath. Is this true?
- I've seen plaque rinses and ant-cavity washes. Is it wise to use a product like this?
- I got a flu shot through work, but I still ended up with the flu? Why? If the shot doesn't really protect me, than why get one at all?
- I exercise three days a week and don't eat fast food more than once a week, but my doctor says my cholesterol is high. How can this be?
- I am a healthy mother of three. Between school, family responsibilities and keeping the kids safe and healthy, I haven't been to the gynecologist or to any other doctor since my youngest was born three years ago. Do adults need well checks?
- Can seeing a chiropractor help reduce mental stress, or do people see them mainly for medical reasons?
- We have a strong history of diabetes in our family. How can I ensure that we are not at risk?
