What are haemorroids?

Asked by Deepak in Personal Health at 4:17 AM on February 13, 2008

anisha's Answer

in a few individuals the veins in the anal canal and rectum can dilate to a great size and come out of the anal canal, this is called as haemorroids.. they can also cause blood loss.. in the early stages the mass goes back after the stools, but later it remains completely outside... the treatment consists of removing the dilated veins and is a simple procedure with no major complications... a stool softening agent has to be used after the operation and even before the operation... in some individuals the haemorroids is secondary to some other problem in the abdomen which needs to be assessed and treated accordingly...

Why should I get a GYN exam?

Asked by No.1 in Personal Health at 3:30 AM on February 13, 2008

anisha's Answer

ideally GYN exams are to be undertaken
before assuming the sexual life
once in three years thereafter.. this is primarily aimed at identifying the cervical cancer at the earliest and treat it...

also GYN exams are necessary to rule out sexually transmitted infections which can cause white discharge per vaginum..

if u have excessive bleeding or painful menses or foul smelling discharge then an GYN exam is necessary to find the cause for it...

Does permanent straightening really work?

Asked by Kavita in Personal Health at 4:19 AM on February 13, 2008

anisha's Answer

hairs can't be straightened permanently.. because the curled hair is a natural property which is inherited and it will come back once the hair starts growing.. so there is nothing like permanent straightening... the procedure has to be repeated often and is quite expensive.. so try to present urself in a better way with what u have, rather than relying on this temporary procedures which would please only few...

Is there any ayurvedic oil for controlling snoring. If so any one can specify.

Asked by Kannan in Personal Health at 3:56 PM on February 13, 2008

anisha's Answer

snoring is due to obstruction to the breathing while sleeping... this obstruction happens due to relaxation of the muscles of the pharynx while asleep.. so it is hard to treat this condition with any oils... but there are two currently popular treatment methods which are very successful:
1. intermittent positive pressure ventilation- which helps to overcome the obstruction'
2. uvalo-palato pharyngoplasty- this surgery helps to remove the obstruction and is very successful... i am not aware of any ayurvedic treatment...

my frnd is vomitting blood along wid food from the last three days. what may be the problem wid him????

Asked by Sumaiya in Personal Health at 10:20 AM on February 13, 2008

anisha's Answer

if he is a alcoholic... then the liver would be damaged and it would cause dilatation of the blood vessels in the esophagus.. these dilated blood vessels can lead to vomiting of blood.. it is advisable to get an endoscopy done to know the exact cause of the bleeding.. and if it due to the dilated vessels then the vessel has to be ligated or a sclerosant agent should be given to reduce the size of the vessel.. well until an endoscopy is done nothing can be said.. so get it done at first, the treatment would depend on the cause...

WHAT IS THE USE OFTHE MEDITATION

Asked by Thirumalaisa in Personal Health at 3:02 PM on February 13, 2008

anisha's Answer

there is a story which helps one understand the power of the mind and the need to control it... this control is achieved by the means of meditation... the story goes like this:
a man while walking on a beach got hold of a alladin lamp... the genie came out of it and said that it is at his service and will do anything for him... but put a condition stating that he has to give some work to genie at any point of time... the man said okay... he ordered all the works he had to genie... genie did them successful.. but a point arrived where he couldn't assign it any work... the genie started spoiling the whole home... then he asked the genie to climb the stairs and come down and do this till he assigns another work...

this is the same with ur mind... it has infinite potential... but the mind should be occupied with some work... or else it will turn into a devil's workshop and will have devastating effect... so the meditation is essentially to keep control over ur mind and hence over the body.. meditation helps to tap the hidden powers of the brain...
