Hmmmmm??

True or false?

CDC says true

cdc.gov/std/Gonorrhea/STDFact…

I used to teach health, so I've addressed this common problem many times. Women often do NOT see symptoms like men do, since the affected areas are INSIDE! Here are some symptoms they CAN notice, though:

-cramping (not period-related)
-fever
-abnormal (pus-like) discharge that smells bad
-fatigue
-general abdominal discomfort

If you get any of these things, see a doctor PRONTO! it may not be gonorrhea, but something else just as bad, which can cause further infection and even sterility if not treated.

Cough is not a disease actually; it is a symptom of any kind of obstruction in the respiratory tract. Coughs can originate in the pharynx, bronchial tubes, trachea and the pleura lining of the lungs.

In Ayurveda, coughing is known as Kaasa roga. It is predominantly an effect of the vitiation of the vata dosha. but the pitta and the kapha doshas can also cause coughs. Based on the causative factor, there are five types of coughs – vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, kshataja and kshayaja.

Vataja cough is dry and hacking in nature. There is little phlegm observed. Side symptoms are headache and pain in the chest. In pittaja cough, there is yellow sputum which may sometimes have streaks of blood in it. Other symptoms like fever, excessive thirst and burning sensation in the mouth and the pharynx are also felt. In kaphaja cough, there is a thick mucus discharge, which is slimy and white in color. This cough makes the whole body feel heavy.

Kshataja cough is vata vitiation to the extreme limit. There is dyspnoea and blood in the sputum. Kshayaja cough is a very serious kind of cough in which pus is observed in the sputum.(1) useful Herbs in the Treatment of Cough

Impetigo is a skin infection that normally affects the younger children and infants. it is extremely contagious bacterial infection and hence needs immediate attention of the parents.

Impetigo mainly occurs on the facial skin, particularly around the nose and mouth. it can also appear on the other body parts like neck and hands but the diaper area is the most common site where impetigo mainly attacks a child.

Symptoms of Impetigo – Impetigo patients chiefly experience red sores, which is the major symptom of impetigo. these sores may itch and can burst when they are filled with fluid. as a result fluid may lead for a few days after which a yellowish crust may form on this part.

Sometimes, painless blisters may appear on the skin of the impetigo sufferers. in severe cases of this contagious skin infection, painful sores filled with fluid or pus can occur, which may form deep ulcers.

Types of Impetigo – Impetigo skin infections are of two types. They are bullous impetigo and non-bullous impetigo. Children are more commonly affected by the second type i.e. non-bullous impetigo. it is typically caused by ataphylococcus aureus but in rare cases it can also be caused due to an infection of group a streptococcus. Non-bullous impetigo starts in the form of tiny blisters that ultimately form crust after bursting.

Bullous impetigo occurs as large blisters that get filled with fluid or pus but do not burst open. these blisters most often remain on the skin of the sufferer for longer time duration. Bullous impetigo is caused by staphylococcus aureus.

Causes of Impetigo – Impetigo can be caused by any of these two bacteria – staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes. these bacteria do not harm a person until they enter the body system through a cut or other abrasion. When these bacteria get into the body, infection results and eventually impetigo is caused.

Adults usually get affected by impetigo when the bacteria causing this skin infection find their way into the body as a result of any injury caused to their skin. mostly, other skin conditions like dermatitis are responsible for the bruises on the skin that allow the entry of the bacteria through skin.

Since impetigo is highly contagious, patients should maintain cleanliness and the condition must be treated properly.

Today I have been having what I would call bladder pains. they occur right around my pubic line and last only a few seconds. they aren't making me keel over or anything. they are mainly irritating, kind of like a short spasm, like a mild short, stabbing pain. I will get one and a few hours later I get another. At one point, I had about four in a row. last night, I had a pain on my right lower back. could I be passing a stone? I have had an attack like this before with a bladder infection but had buring while urinating , and urgency to go. this time I haven't had any other symptoms but started to drink cranberry juice and lots of water as a precaution. I will wait a day or so before I decide to go to the doc because otherwise I feel great. what do you think it could be?

kidney pain, the presence of pus or blood in the urine, extreme pain when urinating, a small grain of sand in the toilet after you pee. i think you might have a UTI 9urinary tract infection) signs and symptoms occur at different times. you are doing the best thing you can do for yourself without seeing a doctor, drink lots of cranberry juice and water and try to flush out your bladder

pain in the kidneys

I'm a Medical Scientist, according to your symtoms, i would say it is not a stone related problem. but i would say It is a UTI or cystitis. this is because passing of kidney stone will be able to feel the stone moving from the uretra and move to the bladder, when the stone pass through the ureters, you are able to feel an extream pain. your symtoms shows cystitis, which is a form of bladder infection by bacteria. If your urine is cloudy, this might be the main causes. please proceed to a doctor to have early treatment.

Cheers,

Allan

Signs and symptoms
You're not likely to have signs and symptoms unless a kidney stone is large, causes a blockage, is associated with an infection or is being passed. Then the most common symptom is an intense, colicky pain that may fluctuate in intensity over periods of five to 15 minutes. The pain usually starts in your back or your side just under or below the edge of your ribs. As the stone moves down the ureter toward your bladder, the pain may radiate to your lower abdomen, groin and genital structures on that side. If the stone stops moving, the pain may stop too. Other signs and symptoms may include:

bloody, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine
nausea and vomiting
persistent urge to urinate
fever and chills if an infection is present

Not all kidney stones cause symptoms. They're often discovered when you have X-rays for an unrelated condition or when you seek medical care for other problems, such as blood in your urine or recurring urinary tract infections. The pain becomes agonizing only when a kidney stone breaks loose and begins to work its way down from your kidneys to your bladder through the connecting tube (ureter).

I think if you had a kidney stone you would know. You would have a lot of pain in your back and I mean pain, a fever and blood in your urine. Are you having mentrual cramps maybe?

Symptoms of a kidney stone are….pain in your side and back, in the kidney area, blood in your urine, and pain in the abdomen. also nausea and vomiting, if the pain gets severe.

No, I do not think so. A kidney stone will laterally bring you to your knees and you will be counting the carpet thread's on the floor. You would not be able to pee with out pain, nor sit, stand, lay or anything… It sounds like you appendix tho.. I would see the Dr…

I get that quite often…or something similar. It's very likely NOT a kidney stone…because a kidney stone will make you keel over and want to die…lol. The pain is unbearable. I had it for a few months, went to the docs and ER multiple times. I had ultrasound after ultrasound, and all sorts of tests done. Their medical opinion: just a weird thing. Doctors…I hate them. It was said that it was a kidney problem, which I took seriously as I have kidney disease in my family…but if you're not in severe, consistent pain…don't worry too much right now. but if it does keep up, go to the Docs just to be on the safe side.

P.S. The pain eventually passed on its own…but it was there for months.
