miggyE Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 :thumbsupsmiley: this may have already been asked ..but ill give it a go. do we need prescription to avail ANY amount of viagra or similar meds? yes, a consultation is needed to be on the safe side. Viagra was first used as a drug to treat High Blood. so, if you have decreased blood pressure, or any problems regarding blood pressure, this could be dangerous to downright lethal!

miggyE Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 please consult a dermatologist so that he/she can explain the best treatment options for you.. :mtc: i agree with sir peterparker. its hard to visualize what treatments you might need unless a derma could get an actual look at the problem.... Oh, and make sure he/she is a Board Certified Dermatologist. maraming tao ang nag-mamarunong pag dating sa Derma Quote Link to comment
daredevil67011 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 MTC docs, please help. I had sex with my ex-gf last night. Problem is i now have this itch in my DICK (it's between the underside of my dickhead and the cut foreskin)! The itch is bearable though, but it feels more itchy the more i scratch it! Is this some kind of fungal infection? What med should i use? Quote Link to comment
kanski Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) ^brod, mahirap manghula kung ano ang meron ka kaya, patignan mo nalang yan. :upside: dermatological question.. have pimples since elementary.. they left some pretty bad scars. any remedy for it? try looking into resurfacing treatments via fractional laser with a dermatologist. this i think is the treatment of choice for acne scars at the moment.

skyscraper Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Questions doc re: Birth Control Pills Is it safe to stop tablet taking for a week after her last period and then continue on the 8th day? However during those 7 days, we have intercourse without any protection. Is there a possibility that she can be pregnant? She is taking Gracial BC pills. Need your advice docs. Thanks in advance.

However during those 7 days, we have intercourse without any protection. Is there a possibility that she can be pregnant? She is taking Gracial BC pills. Need your advice docs. Thanks in advance. not really my line of expertise, so have to quote "wikipedia" here goes: Effectiveness The effectiveness of COCPs, as of most forms of contraception, can be assessed two ways. Perfect use or method effectiveness rates only include people who take the pills consistently and correctly. Actual use, or typical use effectiveness rates are of all COCP users, including those who take the pills incorrectly, inconsistently, or both. Rates are generally presented for the first year of use.[1] Most commonly the Pearl Index is used to calculate effectiveness rates, but some studies use decrement tables.[58] The typical use pregnancy rate among COCP users varies depending on the population being studied, ranging from 2-8% per year. The perfect use pregnancy rate of COCPs is 0.3% per year.[1]Several factors account for typical use effectiveness being lower than perfect use effectiveness: * mistakes on the part of those providing instructions on how to use the method * mistakes on the part of the user * conscious user non-compliance with instructions. For instance, someone using oral forms of hormonal birth control might be given incorrect information by a health care provider as to the frequency of intake, or by mistake not take the pill one day, or simply not bother to go to the pharmacy on time to renew the prescription. COCPs provide effective contraception from the very first pill if started within five days of the beginning of the menstrual cycle (within five days of the first day of menstruation). If started at any other time in the menstrual cycle, COCPs provide effective contraception only after 7 consecutive days use of active pills, so a backup method of contraception must be used until active pills have been taken for 7 consecutive days. COCPs should be taken at approximately the same time every day.[19][59] Contraceptive efficacy may be impaired by: 1) missing more than one active pill in a packet, 2) delay in starting the next packet of active pills (i.e., extending the pill-free, inactive or placebo pill period beyond 7 days), 3) intestinal malabsorption of active pills due to vomiting or diarrhea, 4) drug interactions with active pills that decrease contraceptive estrogen or progestogen levels.

kanski Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 ^ punta ka sa lahat ng tertiary hospitals na may training program for ophthalmology, both gov't (pgh, east ave., jose reyes, etc.) and private (makati med, st. lukes, etc.), at meron silang libreng pa-opera. you will just have to pay a minimal fee for the icl (intra-ocular lens) na ipapasok sa loob ng operated eye. if you want to to be free from the burden of paying even the icl, try approaching the phil. band of mercy w/c is an ngo that offers free materials needed for cataract sx, including the icl. when i used to work with (not for) them, patients only need to pay a registration fee of P500.00. i have no idea if that is still the case. but it is worth the try to go to them and find out for yourself kung gusto ninyong maka-libre nga. their original office is at east ave. beside sss (look for bpi and a mang ...something fastfood joint w/c are in front). i heard (but not confirmed) that they have also set up shop in malacañang, tanong mo nalang saan doon.

PallasAthena Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've been on the pill for quite some time and just this week, in the middle of a pack, I've been bleeding. Bright red siya and unlike the period, nothing solid. It's the first time in years this has happened, and I'm worried. What could be the possible causes? Quote Link to comment

Bright red siya and unlike the period, nothing solid. It's the first time in years this has happened, and I'm worried. What could be the possible causes? what you are experiencing is medically termed as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). Improper balance of estrogen and progesterone may result in DUB. It may result in low estrogen states from low-dose oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) as well as high progestin activity oral contraceptive pills. Bleeding irregularities are very common with the Norplant System, depo-medroxyprogesterone injection, and the "mini pill," which is often the reason these contraceptives are discontinued. i would suggest that you consult an OB-GYNE asap.. :mtc: Quote Link to comment
happyoldman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 There is an MPA I see once in a while outside of her workplace. She let me have sex with her without condom that's why I like her. (With her other customers she demands the use of condom, that's what she tells me though I don't believe her). Lately, there is a fishy odor that comes out of her sex organ once she has orgasm. This odor is very strong just before or after her menstruation, so strong I feel like vomiting. I am able to smell this when we are in a doggy position. She denies she has STD. According to her MPAs in her workplace undergo medical check-up once a week. Anyone MPA that tests positive for STD is suspended. My fear: does she have sexually transmitted disease?

peterparker Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 napaparanoid lang ako nung last time na nag do kami ng gf ko meron syang singaw na maliit at na-bj nya ako possible kayang magka herpes ako? the only way to know for sure is to have your gf`s singaw checked out by a physician.. a dermatologist will suffice.. :mtc: Quote Link to comment
FloydSteven Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 hi doctors, Just a question on HIV. I often have sex with multiple partners, all of which are females by the way...and I always use condom on all of them...never did it live with any of them. Do I still need to worry about catching HIV? or do I still need to have myself checked for it once in a while? Thanks,Floyd Quote Link to comment

Do I still need to worry about catching HIV? or do I still need to have myself checked for it once in a while? Thanks,Floyd using condom only decreases the chance of getting HIV, one study shows that using condom reduces the risk by 85%. That sounds excellent, but it is not. If you persist in sleeping regularly with someone who is positive or with numbers of unknown people who are possibly positive, then eventually, condom or no condom, you may get AIDS. Vaginal or anal sex using a condom is not a low-risk or no-risk activity. It carries a medium risk at best. The most effective way to prevent sexual transmission of HIV is to abstain, or for two people who are not infected to be faithful to one another, but then again, the decision is still yours to make. Have yourself tested once in a while to see if you are HIV positive or not. Quote Link to comment
