1822032 tn?1338818179 Hi, My boyfriend is 25 and he's recently started to bleed after taking a dump. It's not spots here and there... it's a lot of blood after he wipes. He has a colonoscopy next month, but he's scared he might have cancer. Has anyone else had this problem? Inbox me or comment please. I'd like to ease his mind if I can.

I wish more states would do something like this. "...Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center is excited to be a part of this statewide campaign to alert women and those who love them to the subtle changes that could signal ovarian cancer," says Donna Walthall, director of marketing at Dana-Farber.
Avatar n tn You can get reinfected form your partner if you are sexually active and in that case both of you should get checked and treated simultaneously, or abstain from sex till you are cured fully if your partner is not infected. You can also get reinfection, if you are living in a mold infested house. You have to keep your private parts dry and ensure that the clothes you wear are also clean and dry. Living in a moist environment can also lead to recurring fungal infection.
Avatar m tn Hemorrhoids are not uncommon and most can be treated with over the counter medications and a change in diet. Getting more fiber may help and so will stool softeners when you need them.
Avatar m tn Elevating your testosterone to normal levels improves cholesterol, heart and bone health--so I am told. I suggest you discuss it with your doctor. If you are concerned about a low sex drive or erectile dysfunction it will also help that. I wish you well.

Avatar n tn But, the trouble with supplements is that you can overdose very esily, unless used judiciously or prescribed by a doctor. For instance, Viatmin A and E are easily available from our daily food and being fat soluble, they get stored in our tissues and overdosing is very easy. I do not know, why the Companies are packing such easily availble vitamins along with some other difficult to get nutrients like zinc, omega3 or B12. So, while taking supplements, always do consult the doctor.
Avatar m tn Certainly if it can be heard by another person besides himself, he should drop into the ER and have the doc take a listen and do some diagnosis.
Avatar n tn I think if it was your appendix, when that lets go you will know about it, been there and dont want to go there again, and if the pain is down that low I think the gallbladder would be out of it. You need to have a think of what you were doing just before the pain come on, if you were straining then it could just be muscles? Been to a doctor yet, let him have a poke around.

Avatar n tn In June 2003 I had a major surgery to remove a carotid body tumor--located in the "Y" of the carotid artery in my left neck. It was the size of a pop can and not visible from looking at me.. I was 283 pounds, thought I had a fat neck. The Mayo doctors worked a long time to remove it as it was affecting my speech, breathing. I have several complications, with the 39 units of blood and fluids, my eye sight was damages..
703858 tn?1274669802 I know what you mean and I've had both breast cancer and ovarian cancer. I never even knew the symptoms of ovarian cancer until just before I was diagnosed. I know I will eventually die of ovarian cancer and I worry about my daughters and their future. There is no way I want them to go through this. There has got to be more research money put toward the early detection of this cancer. It is the only way we are going to beat this awful disease!

Avatar f tn Shame on them...Sept is national ovarian cancer awareness month ( ? ) ( also national leukemia and lymphoma awareness month ) ?? Waited and waited for some mention of at least one gyn cancer... Obama's mother apparently had ovarian cancer yet not one word!!!!!! As with Ronni I am (no offense) sick of pink ! and have sent my dollars to Yale research in honor of all of you.
Avatar f tn September is TEAL Month ( National Ovarian Cancer Month ) and I was thinking that if everyone on this forum emailed or wrote to their local papers/ radio stations and /or favorite womens magazine, tv talk show ; asking if they are planning any articles or features on detection / treatment-research / survivior stories on ovarian cancer in September, perhaps we as a group could generate some much needed interest in this cancer.
Avatar f tn I have just seen in some journals comments about activities in September for OVCA awareness and found one near me in Morristown NJ. I was wondering if anyone else is in my area and would want to join me for the walkathon? It is September 14th.
414018 tn?1268611672 Hi lovely ladies, Just wanted to share that this week starting tomorrow is ovarian cancer awareness week in Australia, not sure if this is the same for America. Anyway I just wanted to create a post that people could contribute to about any events or fundraisers that occurring and share positive stories or experiences. This year I am selling merchandise again and getting an article in the local paper with a photo of all my family and friends wearing the shirts we did up last year.
272338 tn?1252280404 September will be here before we know it along with National Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. A few days ago I ran across something that really disturbed me. I have been recieving Womens Day magazine for quite some time now. I recently recieved my Sept. issue with a subscription renewal notice. I sat down and began reading the magazine, and by the time I finished, I had made up my mind that i would not renew my subscription.
