Avatar f tn When it comes out in feces, sometimes it can be pushed up into the urethra and cause a bladder infection. It sounds like when you are wiping her clean, some of the fecal matter is going in to the urethra. Try wiping from front to back, so that you aren't dragging any feces over her urethra opening.
Avatar m tn When disease spreads through the fecal-oral route, it means that contaminated feces from an infected person is somehow ingested by another person." http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/F/fecal-oral.html "Many diseases of humans are passed via what we euphemistically term, the "fecal-oral route." This is a polite way of saying that infection-laden stool from one person found its way into the mouth of another, with the expected consequence of infection.

Avatar m tn My son is 15 years old and has been oozing brownish liquid that smells awful not feces from the rectum
Avatar m tn d go to a doctor and maybe have them take a swab and sample from inside your nose to test for infection. It may be a sinus infection, or something stuck up there. My mom as a child put cotton from a stuffed toy up her nose, and it began to smell the air up around her. The doctor looked up her nose, saw the material and pulled it out. If its just a sinus infection than strong antibiotics may help. I had a sinus infection and had to take two very strong rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it.
Avatar n tn My brother injected himself with what he says is a mixture of his own feces and water. He did this IM and now has a knot in his arm at the injection site and a fever. He refuses to go to the doctor. I just need to know what can happen to him. He said it was about 1.5cc worth of this "solution" he created. Why does he have this knot? It's not a normal abscess if it is an abscess at all.
Avatar f tn Make sure when you wipe after a BM that you wipe from front to back to prevent any feces from causing a UTI. Always urinate after sex, and drink plenty of water. The older we get the bigger the chance of developing diverticulitis, which can be controlled with diet... it just happens. The yeast infection was most likely caused by the antibiotics. Get a second opinion on having a colonoscopy with diverticulitis, as they can perforate the bowel which is already weakend within the pockets.

Avatar f tn The litter itself is very safe. The risk of infection is in the cat feces, so if the cat has an accident don't try to clean it up. Also the person who said if the cat has not been outside they are not likely to be infected is right. I had a cat that just passed and she had never been outside so I had no problem changing her box. Better safe than sorry if you don't know. If you have to change the box where disposable medical gloves and a mask that can be tossed every so often.
Avatar m tn Can you tell me specifically?
Avatar m tn When I was a child, I once counted the days to find out how long I could go without excreting feces from my body. I know that the days were close to a month or over a month without passing a stool. Up until the age of 18 years of age, it has always been typical to prevent excretion for 2 weeks or more, and if I had to guess, about 3 weeks on average. This was a normal part of my life for 18 years.
Avatar n tn Wow thank you so much.
Avatar m tn i noticed after pulling out that i had feces on my penis. didnt think much of it. then about 12 days later i started to experience a number of diferent symptoms. first day i noticed my throat hurting. not a sore throat but more like my throat muscles were sore and tender to the touch. i then researched online and found that what i was experiencing could be hiv related. i started to get anxiety but i figured if i didnt experience any of the other symptoms i was ok.
1901003 tn?1322953897 My cat, Boots is 7 years old. She is fixed. This didn't start happening until she got fixed. Sometimes she will have bright red blood come out in her feces. Lately, it hasn't done it. I really can't afford to take her to the vet. What could this be? It doesn't happen all the time. She got fixed when she was 2 and she did have complications she pulled a stitch and also pulled a muscle after being fixed but the blood in her feces didn't start until after she was fixed.
Avatar f tn I am worried I could have gotten hiv from the shower. I live in a large complex that everyone shares a common shower/bathroom. My fear is the showers aren't the cleanest of clean and I don't know what others do in them. I had a bad cut on foot that became infected from shower bacteria I'm assuming (open wound). Could I have contracted HIV through this open wound from bodily fluids in the shower. Ie: semen, feces, anal mucus if it was present in high vital load.
Avatar m tn For months now i have had this issue of needing to take a poo only a few minutes after i take my first. In the morning when i go to the toilet, the feces are regular but only a few minutes after, i need to go again. and this time the feces are gassy and loose. this has been happening consistently for months now, i need to take 2 or sometimes 3 poos in a row and its annoying. if i dont take that 2nd or 3rd poo, then it really troubles me while running, the pressure builds.
Avatar n tn that could be from something you ate, like salads etc.... Or it could be that your food is going thru your body to fast, and you are not getting the benfits from your food. Or the old wives tale says it could be that you have a cold. I would call your Dr. if you have it again. Hope this help, I have the rainbow of feces for about 3 weeks.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I have a question: can someone get infected through their own feces if open wounds in their anus are present?
Avatar f tn My beagle dog often eats her own feces, what is causing this and what can be done about it/meds?
Avatar f tn I feel as it is filled everywhere in mouth.This all thinking creates anxiety.Then I go to the toilet pass motion/stool/feces and after lay on bed and relax and after it takes time and gets normal on its own.Nothing serious has ever happened.I have also talked to my cousin and sister about it but they say that its normal sometimes they get it but they do not worry aa its natural it will not do any harm.What do you people say? Why do I start thinking that it would do something to me?
Avatar n tn There are other ways to contract the coxsackie b virus--can catch from dog feces as indicated in Medical Textbook Internal Medicine, 15th edition chapter 250 pages 1482-1593 ........"enteroviruses are spread from person to person directly, although enteroviruses have been isolated from flies, cockroaches, food naturally exposed to flies, DOG FECES, and a number of other vehicles......." The actual medical textbook reference may help more that the opinions of anonymous posts.
Avatar f tn The concern in changing the cat litter boxes is catching toxoplasmosis from the cat feces, which can be harmful to you and your baby. If you are the only one who can change thr box-keep washing your hands after every litter change and talk with your doctor. Although, if your partner, friend, neighbor, or family member could change it for the next 9 months that would be your safest bet! From what ive heard, touching and handling the cats are fine..
Avatar f tn One of the first thing the nutritionist did was take a poo sample. You can alot about the health of the person from their poo. Blood in the stool, undigested food, too much mucus, etc. can all be indicators of some digestive trouble. Certain smells can indicate digestive issues as well. If you're really worried about it, ask him why he does it and perhaps you could suggest he use toilet paper rather than his hands to handle the poo.
Avatar m tn I need help regarding the risk of hiv transmission that affected to me. Yesterday, i was using toilet to take dump. I don't know how and why, there was little bit feces got into my uncircumcised penis area and that feces that got into me had diameter around 0,5cm. I assumed that i got that feces when i used shower toilet spray to wash my *** at that time and when that shower toilet spray had the feces stained that got into me from the previous users.
