Anorexia in young males
Common Questions and Answers about Anorexia in young males
anorexia
Many people with anorexia nervosa, due to trauma in their pasts, want to lose weight for the complete opposite reason, to look sexually unattractive.
In my own case, because of a lifetime of being raped and abused, I wanted to become emaciated so that men would find me unattractive and would be sexually repulsed by me, so that they would leave me alone. I hope that by losing weight the abuse might stop.
Also ive recently had bloods done but my LFT (liver function test) has come back abnormal its been that way for 4 mounths now. Oh and i also suffer from anorexia but am having help for it and am trying to recover.
Im 18 and I get aroused but hardly ever want to act on it. My partner gets aroused much more often than I and I, more often than not, say no even if she arouses me as well. We've been together two years and it's becoming frustrating to both of us. I'm not sure why I do it. I know that I always "don't feel like it." we participate in sexual activity roughly 4-5 times a week. There are just days when I absolutely don't want to do any sort of sexual activity.
It is difficult to comment on this without physical examination. In young males, most commonly routine UTI’s or STD’s can cause pain and discomfort in the testicles.
I would suggest that you encourage your boy friend, to visit a urologist for physical examination and further investigations if required. A routine urine analysis with culture and ultrasound would be enough to confirm with the diagnosis.
re crossing into the area of Anorexia. I have heard about the trend with young people, especially girls, thinking that Anorexia is a "cool" or "in" thing. Well, it isn't. People die from this mental illness.
Please, concentrate on being fit and healthy. When you exercise, do not do it in excess, but do not be a couch potato either. Go with moderation and go with an activity you actually enjoy. Do not become Obsessive/Compulsive about exercise or weight loss.
Mostly it appears to be thinning and I began to notice it about a month ago and to me it seems to be getting worse by the week. There is no history of hair loss in my family men or women before menopause. I have been experiencing irregular periods for the past two year but they have recently been regular. It seems strange to me that a female of my age would be having hair loss. Do you think its permanent? What should I do?
Yes, she's too young -- these meds aren't approved for people that young, though doctors can prescribe them. Her brain is still developing. These drugs aren't even recommended long-term for adults, so imagine if this becomes, as mentioned above, the med merry go round. I'd stick with therapy and realize that all 13 year olds are nuts in some way that sometimes lasts but usually doesn't.
Hi, new here with a question. All of my 12 leads show slurring of the R wave in just the inferior leads. I know that early repolarization is common in males but I'm a young female. It also is typically associated with a slow HR but I tend to be fairly fast most of the time. I've had one ablation for SVT and continue to have problems tachycardia and apparently have PVCs frequently but I never notice them.
s likely that no treatment is needed---just let your doctor know if you have repeated episodes of your pulse being higher than normal or if you have dizziness/weakness/palpitations (though palpitations in a young, healthy person are usually not serious either). I'm so proud of you for making progress in your battle against anorexia. You've made so much progress since we started chatting nearly 1-1/2 years ago. I hope you're as proud of yourself as I am of you. Keep up the good work!
I doubt this is a "tumor" or "breast cnacer" .. very often in younger males these lumps are hormone related and may well go away just as the increased size of the breast. You should see your Dr. so he/she can examine the lump and there shouldn't be any needles involved at all.
I was wondering if her doctors have considered issues like bulimia/ anorexia in her. Other than this issues that may need to be considered are recurrent infections, food allergies/ intolerance, parasitic infestations etc. Without a clinical evaluation it would be inappropriate on my side to comment further. I would suggest a detailed evaluation by a gastroenterologist for the above mentioned possibilities. After a cause is diagnosed, it can be managed accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
For some males, especially young males it takes very little stimulation for an erection to occur. This does not mean you are gay or that you are attracted to other males. It most likely is the stimulation of the showers.
I know this must be embarrassing for you but rest assured there is nothing wrong, this can be quite normal. In time this will not be an issue as you mature and become less sensitive.
Good luck to you. I promise this will get better.
Hello,
The commonest cause of testicular pain amongst young males is epididymitis or orchitis and normally orchitis and epididymitis co-exist. The treatment is antibiotics and painkillers only.
The other pain which can present as testicular pain is pain of a stone in the ureter (tube which brings down the urine) and this can present as testicular pain. Maybe an ultrasound to rule out a stone in the urinary tract may help.
because some investigation may be needed. Breast lumps such as you describe are fairly common in very young males are are often due to hormonal changes but at your age you need to see your Dr. for a clinical breast exam and possibly some testing. Breast lumps in males or females should NEVER be ignored. Take care .....
