asked 2 years ago

I’m 32, and I’m shy of the way my face looks. It’s terrible! My face, neck and partially shoulders are covered with pimples and blackheads. I turned to a dermatologist, and he said that some blood tests need to be done, still, I’m not sure if it will help my recovery. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of this horrible acne?

I can understand your despair as I’ve had the same problem during the puberty. Actually, about 50 million Americans face this issue every year. By the way, it’s not rare among women of your age and even older too. 15% of American women deal with acne at an adult age.

You did right that you’ve turned to a doctor but ignoring his advice was a mistake. The results of your blood tests could show if the hormones are the cause of your problem. Hormonal disbalance is quite a common reason for acne in adult women. Birth control pills may be helpful in such a case. They stabilize the levels of the female hormones and gradually your skin condition will get better.

Too oily skin is one more frequent reason for acne. Topical creams and ointments containing salicylic acid, retinoid, benzoyl peroxide or antibiotics are applied in such case. They help to reduce skin oil production and diminish the inflammation of the skin. In case antibiotic is used, it helps to fight the bacteria living on the skin. The effect of such treatment is not quick. You will notice improvements in a month or two, but the game is definitely worth the candles.

If the situation is really tough, you can be recommended taking some drugs. They may be antibiotics or Isotretinoin. The latter may first worsen the situation as it works by speeding up the process of acne maturation. However, after several months, you’ll see another person in the mirror.

There are also some cosmetic procedures that can help to deal with acne. Turn to the dermatologist as proper treatment can be prescribed only after your skin examination.

Can Antidepressants Cause Premature Menopause?

Hi, I’m a 49-year-old woman, I wanted to know, by taking antidepressant drugs, can you break the cycle by anticipating it? Thank you.

Hello, antidepressant drugs can belong to different pharmacological classes, each with different characteristics and peculiarities. Not knowing which class you mean, it’s hard to answer. However, the most used products do not normally interfere with the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, it is possible that depressive or anxious syndromes create menstrual irregularities. In any case, the best solution would be to address this question to your psychiatrist (or to those who prescribed your therapy) and possibly ask for a gynecological opinion to evaluate other possible causes.

How To Delay Period

asked 2 years ago

Hi thank you in advance for the consultation. I have just purchased Yasmin to delay my menstrual cycle by 3 days because I am on vacation. The period is due in 10 days, do you recommend me to start taking one tablet a day for 10 days as I read earlier or start 3 days before the period as I read on the package leaflet? Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Everything depends on the menstrual cycle length (on average every 28 days) to establish roughly the beginning of the intake. I recommend starting from the middle of the cycle (16 ^ -17 ^ day of the cycle) for at least an equivalent period, suspend 1/2 days before when you want to have the menstrual flow. The following month the cycle will return to its usual rhythm.

Hi, I’ve been engaged for almost 2 years. In the sexual sphere, I have always been inclined to engage sexually, but for almost a month I have been unable to reach orgasm. I really want my boyfriend, but this thing is also leading to a decline in desire. Can I have answers about this? Thanks.

Hello, from the information you provide, the reasons for this drop in desire could be varied. Even a traumatic or mournful event, a stress carried on for a long time or even work worries, can create physiological pauses from an active and gratifying sexuality. Try first to talk to your partner and possibly with a psycho-sexologist. In case of no known contraindications, you can avail of Female Viagra (Lovegra, Womenra, Lady Era) therapy.

Pulling pain in testicles. What can it be?

Alex Staff

asked 2 years ago

For a week now, I have had a dull pain in the testicles, no dangerous pain, but enough to get me concerned. A pulling pain that becomes more pronounced when I lightly touch the scrotum. At first I thought it was due to a pair of tight jeans I had in the beginning of the week, but it stays on and now the death anxiety begins because of testicular cancer crawling on.

I can’t feel any testicle is bigger or different from before. The testicles are also not particularly tender. It is only that dull feeling that radiates towards the stomach and wouldn’t go away.

Getting pain in the area around the testicles can be due to several reasons. There are various symptoms associated with pain in the testes. Sometimes the pain in the scrotum can be persistent and weak, in other cases it can be experienced as a pain that comes and goes. If you suddenly get hurt in the scrotum it may be a testicle that has twisted. It is then common for the scrotum to turn red and that it is only one of the testicles that aches and feels swollen.

The most common causes of pain in the testicles are inflammation, hernia or a blow to the scrotum. A more unusual but serious cause is testicular twisting, which causes the blood supply to the testicle to deteriorate and causes a lot of pain in the scrotum. On the testicle there is a small appendage that can also screw itself, which is much more common than the testicle itself does.

This is called bit-distortion and hurts but is not as dangerous. A twist of the testicles is more common in young boys than men but can happen at any age. If you have groin hernia, pain in the scrotum may be due to the hernia being pinched. This means that a piece of bowel has come into contact. The scrotum then becomes red, tense, swollen and sore and the swelling often extends up to the groin. Strokes, hard bumps or pressure on the testicles hurt but are usually harmless.

If you suddenly severe pain in the testicles and the pain does not go over, it may be due to testicular twisting or distortion. In the case of testicular twisting, you need surgery, so you should take this pain seriously and seek care directly. Bitesticle inflammation may be due to a sexually transmitted disease. If the pain is due to inguinal hernia, the only treatment is surgery, but adults need not be operated if the symptoms are few or mild.

If the pain gets acute, it is important that you seek medical care immediately. Although it is unusual, the pain may be due to testicular twisting and then need surgery. You should therefore seek emergency care if the pain is sudden and does not subside within a few minutes.

How to get rid of nightmares?

anonimus

asked 2 years ago

It’s been months since I had a good night rest. About twice or even three times a week, I wake up in cold sweat and with a racing heartbeat because of the nightmare. The dreams sometimes repeat, but in most cases, they are different. I can’t stand such a torment any longer. Please help me to stop the nightmares.

To tell the truth, 2-6% of adults experience the same problem as you do. But, on the whole, the statistic is not comforting as some studies claim the prevalence of nightmares among the adult population is about 85%.

Well, to be able to help you, we should first determine what is the cause of your nightmares. There are several key factors, which can cause such an issue. They are physical or emotional trauma (including post-traumatic stress disorder), stress or anxiety, intake of certain drugs, alcohol or drug abuse, late-night eating, violation of the sleeping schedule.

If the problem is post-traumatic stress disorder, the imagery rehearsal therapy may be helpful. Its major goal is “reprograming” your brain for a positive outcome of your dream. Hence, you can turn a nightmare in any dream you would like to have.

In case you have nightmares because of stress or anxiety, psychotherapy, counseling or intake of sleeping pills may be options.

If the adverse effects of some drug are to blame, you have to turn to your healthcare provider concerning your dose titration or giving up the drug.

Keeping to a healthy sleeping schedule you can also improve the situation. If your brain “knows” exactly when it should “turn off”, you are less likely to have any bad dreams.

The same is true for those who like to have a snack right before bedtime. The digestion process makes your brain stay active even after you’ve gone to sleep. As a result, excessive brain activity can evolve nightmares.

Hope I have given the answer to your question and you’ll be able to get rid of the nightmares as soon as possible. Still, I strongly recommend you to consult with a physician on the matter of your poor sleep quality.

Periostitis Caused By Overtraining?

Elliot

asked 2 years ago

Last April, while I was preparing for marathon, I felt pain during the workout and at the end of training, at the 3rd lower middle of the right tibia; just after the race, I underwent a rmn test which showed: “modest medullary edema 3rd lower tibia”, and since then I have avoided running, dedicating myself to mountain biking, in addition to getting a magnetotherapy device at home. Do I have to do a check up? Is a two-month stop enough? Could the picture be compatible with periostitis? Is it possible that the wrong shoes have favored this condition?

I have 4 inch penis. Any tips on products to improve my sex life?

Harold

asked 2 years ago

My penis measures up to slightly under 4 inches when fully erect, and due to some highly individual angulation problems many sex positions are off limits for me. What products would you recommend to help in my situation?

1 Answers

Dr Kaufman Staff

answered 2 years ago

Dear user, let me assure you that, with 5.2 inches being an average penis size, you might be comparing yourself to unrealistically high standards. However, it is a pity you do not mention what kind of “angulation problem” prevent you from enjoying a wonderfully perfect sexual life. I recommend that you seek medical advice regarding the angulation issue, because it might be Peyronie’s disease which required physical examination. As for the rest, there are no products that are effective for penile augmentation. If you experience erectile problems, or decreased desire, linked to self-confidence issues, you would benefit from drugs like Viagra and / or supplements to step up your sex drive. You should make an appointment with a doctor in order to establish the necessity to take one of such medications. Therapy can also be a very helpful addition to the measures taken, because ultimately, it is the ability to communicate with the couple and find out how to give pleasure to your partner outside of the traditional penetrative sex that matters. Good luck!
