Would I go to my OBGYN or my regular doctor? Has anyone taken this to increase their breastmilk and been successful?|||My OBGYN prescribed it for me, though this is not to say that your GP wouldn't prescribe it. I had tried to increase my supply by several methods- fenugreek, mother's milk tea, mother's milk tablets, brewer's yeast, drinking plenty of water, oatmeal- and nothing worked. My doc told me that she had taken reglan for all three of her kids and it had worked for her. My milk production more than doubled. I went from ~15oz of milk a day (I was exclusivlely pumping by this time so I knew my output) to ~32 oz of milk/day within 2 days. I even started to freeze my milk and have a nice backup supply. So yes, for me it was successful.
In response to Ellen above. My milk supply has not diminished since I have stopped taken the Rx. The only time I have noticed any decrease is when I am close to my period and when I became sick with a stomach virus. After this sickness I simply took a week's course of the medication and my milk went right back up to where it was and has remained steady. Everyone responds differently, what Ellen stated above may have occurred to these women but it is not set in stone, I am an example of this.|||Reglan has been used for mothers exclusively pumping for preterm babies who are getting extremely low volumes despite frequent pumping and excellent management. Although I have personally know 2 women using it under doctors' care who have used it long term, the general course of treatment is 2 weeks, and milk volume usually decreases as the medication is withdrawn. The side effects are serious, and most doctors do not use it for increasing milk volumes because of that. I know the people who did the original research at Yale New Haven Hospital, and I was used in preliminary studies when my baby was in the NICU there.
There are many other things that can be done if the course of breastfeeding is normal to increase milk volumes. The first is to increase stimulation through more frequent breastfeeding, pumping or both. The next is the use of herbal galactogouges such as fenugreek, Blessed Thistle and Goat's Rue as well as Mother's Milk Tea and oatmeal and making sure your diet and fluids are sufficient. If you are doing all that you can, check Dr. Jack Newman's website for information about another medical gaglatogogue that is more difficult to find, but much safer.|||Either can prescribe it to you if needed.
Before you feel as though your supply is low,you should consider a couple of things first.
Most woman think that their supply is low,when in fact the milk is now adjusting to your baby's needs.In the beginning it overflows because it is not regulating yet.It doesn't know how much the baby will eat and when.Milk is also done on a supply demand basis.The more you empty them,the more milk you will produce.
Try feeding your baby on demand instead of a schedule so you can up the supply.
Stick to simply breastfeeding.If your baby is on solids,then your baby will not produce the milk since it gets filled from another source of food instead.
There are also some natural herbs you can try as well.Make sure you are getting plenty of rest and fluids followed by a healthy diet.
A great website to check out is www.kellymom.com|||Regular doctor.

What will the doctor do if i go on birth control to settle my period?
I am going to try to go on birth control to settle period, but what tests will the doctor give me? Will he give me a pap smear? Even though im a virgin? Can it still be confidential even though it's just for my period?|||I went on it to sort my period.
Because there was clearly a problem with my period so I started the pill (6 week long periods) he did blood tests to find out why.
Because I had high LH levels I then had an ultrasound to check for cysts (didn't have any)
But no, no pap smear.
The confidential varies on your age and location.
Here in the UK, I'm 16, so it was. I'm not sure in other situations though.|||Explain the situation to your doctor. He/She should completely understand as this is a common reason to get on birth control. They will probably have sto do a pap-smear / pelvic exam to make sure everything is in good shape and ask your medical/social history to make sure you are a candidate in the first place. This is normal procedure, even for virgins. Anything you go to the doctor for should be confidential. If they break your trust by sharing info with anyone they are breaking the law (HIPAA).|||They might do a pap smear, but it's good to have one, so don't be worried. It doesn't hurt that bad. It feels like if you gently scratch your arm with your fingernail. It can still be confidential. I recommend Planned Parenthood if you want it to be confidential. Most have a sliding fee scale, if you don't have alot of money, and they ask if they can say Planned Parenthood is calling if they have to call your house. Some have special hours for teens. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/|||You do not get tests if your a virgin (dont lie to him either) ...should be confidential BUT if your parents have to pay for the pills....they will know. If your under 18 they have to know about any prescription you take, by law.|||i'm on birth control and i went to my dr
they give you a full exam, pap smear and all...
I'm pretty sure it will be absolutely confidential
just relax, and the tests will be easier and less painful for you.|||no the doctor should just give you pill and will not examining you he may take blood test and things like that but not Any smears or that so don't worry !

What kind of doctor has the most intresting job?
I am looking forward to be a pediatric neurologist (I'm a junior in high school with a 4.5 G.P.A) but I am also looking to be a heart surgeon. Is it ok to be unsure of what kind of doctor you want to be before starting medical school?|||First of all, different people have different interests. Right now, forensic pathology is getting quite a run on the TV shows. Using television as a guide, there have been series about many different specialties. Alas, as yet I have been unable to sell my pilot to the big producers about a proctologist who is kidnapped by aliens from Tralfamadore.
My troubles aside, keep an open mind, and congratulations on a most enviable GPA. You will get a better idea of what type of medicine appeals to you as you rotate through the specialties in your third and fourth year in medical school.|||It is definitely okay. You don't really need to know what you want your specialty to be until you're halfway through med school. Awesome idea for a specialty--pediatric neurology is fascinating, and neurology pays good money, too.|||sure..it's better to decide after you join med school. that way, you can make a more informed decision rather than jumping to conclusions with limited information.|||You are fine not knowing exactly what you want to do. At least you have a direction. Check out the movie "Something the Lord Made" if you haven't seen it. Very inspiring.|||those are very nice jobs which pay alot, and i don't know much about medicine, but i think the most intresting job in medicine is being a p.a. because, p.a.'s get trained in alot of diffrent fields of medicine, and can move to any other field as they wish. they're very smart also, but don't make as much as heart surgens and stuff. but, if you're a p.a. you can move from radiology to cancer at any time you wish. let's say you're working in radiology. you won't just know things about radiology, but you'll know things about other fields too. as i said, i don't know much about medicine as i am going into law, but i know p.a.'s can do all kinds of stuff. good luck choosing !|||It really depends on the individual. I know pathologists who think it is the most facinating thing on earth because they get to figure out what really killed someone and see where diagnoses went wrong. But they never deal with patients directly and that would be real boring to someone else. Some people like to solve mysteries, like neurologists. Other's like to solve things quickly by cutting something out, like a surgeon.
Different strokes for different folks.
I work with a lot of medical students and residents and I'd say that most don't really make up their minds what specialty they want to pursue until their third year when they are in the clinics see what doctors really do.
Except for sugeons - they seem to know from the start. No indecision on their part or they'll never be accepted into the fraternity.|||Orthopedics.
Man, they get to saw, and break bones, and cast, and the skeletal system is fun!
Watch a documentary on Orthopedics. It's not a tender physician practice. It's more like a sport.|||You're better off NOT having any pre-determined ideas, and keeping your mind open to anything. You don't have to make a decision on a specialty until you're in your last year of medical school, applying for residency positions.
Keep your eyes and ears open during your clinical rotations, and you never know what might grab your interest.
Being a heart surgeon may seem exciting, but it's the same operation every single day, and people die. Some get a charge out of that, but it's high stress. Pediatric neurology is an entirely different thing, and would attract someone quite different than the heart surgeon personality.
Once you get onto the wards, you'll figure out where you belong. Specialties seem to attract certain types of people. You'll understand once you're in the middle of it. When you find "your" people, you'll know where you belong specialty-wise.
Don't forget to have fun in college while you're maintaining that GPA!

What will the doctor do for my 9 month olds awful cough?
He caught a cold from the dr office I believe last week.It started with sneezing then runny nose and now its the runny nose with a bad cough.The cough has gotten worse the last 2 days.He has no fever,but the cough is terrible.I don't want to take him to the ER tonight because I don't know what they will do and he is sleeping soundly now.I am going to take him to the doctor in the morning.Does anyone know what she will do?|||If the diagnosis is croup, then he'll probably get an oral dose of steroids and some antibiotics. If the doc suspects whooping cough, there is a nasal swab test. If the baby is wheezing, he might get a nebulizer treatment.
There are many different kinds of coughs. If he's sleeping well now, that's a good sign, as whooping cough and croup tend to get worse at night.|||if your baby's cough is viral, antibiotics are not necessary and even dangerous. Your doctor will do tests to see if your son's cough is viral or bacterial. If it's viral (almost all colds are), your doctor will give you medicine to help him feel better. On the rare chance it's bacterial, then your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. But don't ask for antibiotics if it's a virus, they won't do anything. In fact, they will just make your son more suspectible to other bacteria.|||They will likely do nothing. Doctors don't like to give medicine to babies and there's not much that will get rid of the common cold but rest and time. Its a huge pissoff for sleep deprived moms. Still, take him anyways to make sure it's nothing serious like croupe but don't be surprised if they tell you good luck and send you off. I once spent hours in the middle of the night with my terribly coughy daughter and they sent me home. They were right, a day or two and it went away but i couldve knocked him out after 2 hours of sleep|||she will check for infection. If he doesn't have an infection she will send him home. Tell you to keep his fluids up, keep him warm, avoid cool breezeways, rub salve on his chest or back and put a humidifier in his room.
To wash his and your hands every time you wipe his nose, clean his bedding daily, wash all toys and door hands over with soapy water once a day (or more if you have time) and wait it out.
More than likely he doesn't have an infection if still alert and no temps.|||she may put him on some antibiotics, or tell you just to use a humidifier in his room.|||give you medicine and advice how to get rid of it. its probably not that big of a deal

What do i say to the Doctor tomorrow about my Eating disorder?
Okay, I'm a 13 Year old, 123lb, Male, 5'8 and im pretty shy. I'm going to confront i have a eating disorder to the doctors tomorrow, my friends have been worried and told me to go, along with my family being very scared. Do i explain to the doctor how i feel when i eat, and why i barely/rarely eat over 1000 Calories. How i feel in the mind, and how i feel physically. Thanks for the help by the way.|||First tell the doctor that;
You have an eating disorder, tell him that you barely eat over 1000 calories a day. The doctor, will probably make you feel very comfortable he will ask you why you think you have an eating disorder and will ask you why you have an eating disorder. ( whats happening in your life that makes you do this). Don't worry, doctors are meant to make you feel very comfortable, even if your really shy. You Just have to trust him. And believe in yourself. Tell yourself. that if you tell this to the doctor, you will get better, you will be a normal weight and you will start to eat healthy again. And think about how much your family and friends will be appreciative that you told the doctor and that you will be healthy. Just stay positive ! and believe in yourself, you can accomplish this !
Hope I helped :)|||Say whatever you want, but do you realise all they do is send you to a psychologist who tells you to eat a normal amount, and you are expected to do it.
Then they just ask you stupid things about how you feel?
Basically you go for help for an eating disorder and the way they help is by telling you to stop cutting your calories, or throwing up, or whatever it is that makes your eating abnormal.
You need to figure out if you want to go and talk about your feelings, regular therapy. Like whatever is causing the eating disorder. If it's just some weird diet thing then I wouldn't bother. It depends how long you've been doing this for.|||you need to tell your doctor everything. maybe sit down before you go and write of list of everything that you feel. this will help you remember better. im so glad to hear your getting help. good luck to you.|||Write a note about everything your feeling and want to say.
Once you get there just give the doctor the not and let them read it.
It may be weird but trust me it will be way easy.|||Just say everything that is on your mind.
please do itll be food for your health!

What doctor do I go to see for a concern on my genitals?
I have this little bump on the shaft of my penis. It is skin colored. I have had my family doctor look at it and they say it is nothing. However, I don't like visually how it looks and am very self conscious of it. I am always very hesitant to go to a doctor. What doctor should I go to for this? A dermatologist? What should I say my concern is when scheduling an appointment. I am embarrassed to deal with this. What are my options?|||Not necessarily a urologist, it depends on where you live.
If you're in the UK, you can go to a sexual health clinic (GU Medicine Clinic). There should be one at your local hospital and when you phone up you should either be given an appointment within 48 hours and asked to attend a walk in service. The BASHH website below has a list of clinics in case you want to phone first and find out directions etc. Treatment is free by the way.
Same principle as the urologist you would see in other countries. They have examined plenty of genitals before so they should be able to tell you what is wrong and offer treatment. Perhaps also test you for other infections - it's always good to have a general check up!|||You go to a UROLOGIST!
Have been there. I was nervous at first (he asks you to drop your pants), and then he feels your private parts with his gloved hands.
But hey, that's his job! He touches hundreds of penises every week. :D

How does a doctor put a cast on a broken arm?
Out of curiosity. After a doctor decides that someone who has broken there arm needs a cast, whats the procedures from beginning to end.|||"Physically it's easy, just wrap (wet) plaster sheets around the area to be stabilized.
Fixing the fracture and knowing how tight to wrap and how far to extend it take a wee bit of training.
putting on a cast involves three items. they are a stockinette, cotton wrap and the casting material.
you first pull the stockinette over the broken area. this is usually a thin white tube that comes in a long roll and can be cut to length. slits in it can be made for thumbs or to mold around ankle area etc. next you will wrap the area with the casting wrap. it once again is usally white and made of a cotton blend. it comes in various sizes like 2in (good for the wrist/arm) 3in (used on lowere legs/etc) 4 and 5 in. this helps keep the cast nice and soft. then comes the fiberglass casting material. it comes in all colors and widths.

Why would a doctor make a teen get a thyroid ultrasound? What thyroid conditions are there?
The doctor believes that a 17 year old has a lump in her throat.
What could show up in an ultrasound?
What conditions result from thyroid problems?|||I recently had an ultrasound. They are looking for what appears to be a "pouch" like skin inside your throat.
It could be serious, like cancer. However, at the age of 17 that is unlikely. They found I have excess mucous building up near the thyroid. Not serious.|||They look for different things. First, they look to see how the overall gland measures. Is it big, is it small, is one lobe larger than the other, etc. Then they look for echotexture, that is, to see if it looks the same throughout (homogeneous) or not (heterogeneous). When it is the latter it could mean things like an autoimmune disorder such as Hashi's or a mutlinodular goiter that is too small to present on the ultrasound. Then they look for nodules and cysts. If they find one, they measure it. They measure the vascularity within the nodule and also through the gland itself. They look for calcifications or any other abnormalities within the nodule. Any nodule above 1cm needs to be biopsied. They will usually do a wait and see approach for anything smaller and repeat the ultrasound every 6-12 months.
As far as what conditions... well there are a few.
Non-toxic mutlinodular goiter (lots of nodules, normal or low thyroid function)
Toxic mutlinodular goiter (lots of nodules, increased thyroid function
Cancer
Hashimoto's (this would show up with an antibodies test most of the time, although 10% of the time no anitbodies are present. It also is common to have normal thyroid function at the time of diagnosis, although most people are hypothyroid).
Graves' Disease (hyperthyroidism caused by an autoimmune disorder).
Hope this helps!
|||Thyroid nodules are seen in an ultrasound. for more info go to mayoclinic. com. nodules can be "just watched" or treated with synthetic thyroid meds to slow down their growth, and/or surgery. the thyroid cancer group with the best info on all of that is www.thyca.org. they also list great doctors who specialize in thryoid. (some endocronologists just do diabetes.) anyway, knowledge is power, and there are also two support groups through yahoo health groups...one on just thyroid and one for thyroid cancer. all these places will give you a good idea of what questions to ask.

I just purchased health insurance, I haven't seen a doctor for a check up in over 10 years. I want to go to get a full check up from cholesterol check to everything else. Am I supposed to select an OB/Gyn or do general docs do pap smears too? And if I select an ob do they also do lab tests for hormone/cholesterol etc tests?|||I've been complaining about this stupid issue for years. Why do women need to see a specialist just because we're women? Most women I know see one doctor a year, and that is their gynecologist. As a result, they miss out on all the routine screening like cholesterol levels and blood sugar that they would get if they went to a family practitioner
Though doctors seem to be realizing this problem. Many family doctors will do a "well woman" exam that includes a pap smear. And many obgyns will run blood tests if you ask. The benefit of going to a gyn is that if you have a gyn issue, you already have a specialist. But honestly, it doesn't really matter. Just make sure either doctor does the tests you want.|||You need a good family doctor to monitor you for day to day issues that crop up.

What kind of doctor performs a circumcision?
I am 22 years old and I am planning on getting a circumcision.
What kind of doctor will perform this procedure?|||The most obvious doctor to perform an adult circumcision is a urologist, but most of these only meet patients who have medical problems that make circumcision essential. They therefore often have only one 'standard' way of doing a circumcision which may not give you the cosmetic results you desire.
Plastic surgeons often also do circumcisions and will carefully consider where you want the cut line placed (close behind the glans or nearer the body) and how tight you want the resulting skin. However, plastic surgeons tend to be the most expensive option.
Many general surgeons and quite a number of physicians offer an 'in office' circumcision service. As long as you can find one who knows about the cosmetic results and is prepared to give you the sort of cut you want, these are going to be the cheapest and possibly the most experienced ones.
Congratulations on deciding to give yourself the lifelong health and sexual benefits of circumcision.|||You had better hope for the kind of doc that has good eyesight and a steady hand. :-p Find a Urologist with those characteristics and you've got it.
If you REALLY want to do it, that is. I've got 20+ years on you, Amigo, and if I had the decision to make, mine would be no circumcision. I think it's an unnatural thing. I have no problems with my circumcised penis, I just think I'd rather have the foreskin, thank you very much.
Unfortunately, too late for me. But that's a decision you should really think very hard about and talk to other guys about. And don't do it because you feel 'different' or left out of some no-foreskin club. Whatever you decide, do it for yourself, not for someone else's idea of how you should present your penis to the world.. ;o)
Either way, good luck, Amigo.|||What kind of doctor performs a circumcision?

There is no shortage of doctors anxious to chop off a male's foreskin.

What type of doctor would I go to for swallowing problems?
I have been having problems swallowing. Always feels like I have a ton of mucous and I feel like my swallow is off. What type of doctor handles this? And what is a swallow study, does it show the mechanics of how you swallow? Thanks.|||Start with an ENT, who may prescribe a swallowing study (also known as a "video swallow", "cookie swallow", or "videofluoroscopic swallowing study".
The study should be conducted by a speech pathologist proficient in the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders. The radiologist and an x-ray tech will also be present.
You will be fed thin liquid barium, thickened liquid barium, barium-laced puree (usually applesauce), and a cookie smeared with barium (I always used bagels, as their texture more closely resembles meat than a cookie does). It actually takes far less barium for a video swallow than it takes for an upper GI series.
The study will show how material passes through your upper aerodigestive tract (mouth and throat) in real-time on a videotape or DVD. The speech pathologist will write up a report on the dynamics of your swallowing and recommendations for any needed treatment, which will be sent to your doctor. The radiologist will also send a report, but it won't be nearly as in-depth as the one from the speech pathologist.|||Go to a gastroenterologist and get checked for GERD.

What are the chances of not getting your doctor for delivery?
you see this in movies all the time LOL, mom wigging out because her doctor can't be found and they have to use the on call doctor. How often does this really happen though? And is there any way to ensure it won't happen??
Did your doctor come in as soon as you got to the hospital or not until it's actually time to deliver?|||No, I'm not sure where my doctor was but another doctor who worked in his practice who I hadn't seen before delivered my baby. I didn't really care though because the only time he was there was while I was pushing and that only lasted for about 2 minutes. The nurses were the ones who were actually there the whole time and helped me through it.|||At my OB office, each patient sees every doctor in the practice throughout her pregnancy because whichever doctor is on call that day/night will be delivering your baby. It really doesn't matter to me anyways because the doctor only comes in right as the baby is about to come out, or if you are having complications. The nurses at the hospital are the ones who are with you through 8, 10, 12+ hours of labor. I feel that all the doctors at my practice are competent and trust them all.|||"Is there any way to ensure it won't happen?"
No. I mean you could kidnap and hold your doctor ransom but that is illegal, immoral and just plain wrong ;-)
Our Doctor came to the hospital the morning of and delivered our son shortly there-after. I don't really know how to ensure that it won't happen because nobody can predict the future.
Just pick a good hospital, and do all that the geniuses say to do and all should be well. Millions of babies are born every year, as healthy as they wanna be, without benefit of your doctor. And as concerned as you are about controlling every aspect of your birth it seems like you will be fine since I don't think you'll be leaving ANYTHING to chance. Good Luck!!|||My regular OB/GYN doctor was on call when I got to the hospital however her on call off time was 7am.

What are the duties of a doctor when a lady go for abortion?
A devout doctor insists it violates his religious dictates to accommodate anyone out side marrige. and he refuses to make a referral, clamimg that would make him complicit. what is your opinion?
you will be the doctors' side or patient?|||Most OB GYNs agree that it is okay for a doctor to refuse to perform abortions. However, the vast majority of OB GYNs also agree that when a doctor refuses to do a procedure due to their religious or personal values, they have a responsibility to refer the patient to a doctor who will do the procedure. This behavior would be considered unacceptable by the doctor's peers.|||I would get a new doctor personally. the dr has the right to refuse help, however if a woman wants to get an abortion she should have that right. |||I would get a deferent doctor.|||Watch this video.

What type of doctor travels to their patients to give treatment?
Please tell me what type of doctor travels to their patients. (either visiting them at their home, the school, anywhere? Please give a specific answer.|||Home care physicians. They can act as your primary doctor or they can provide consults to your primary doctor in the event that you are unable to visit him/her.|||Years ago, many if not most doctors made house calls.

What to expect when seeing a doctor about migraines?
I plan on seeing a doctor this week. For the past couple of weeks, I've been having migraines to the point of vomiting.
What should I expect when I see the doctor? What kind of questions will they ask? Will they schedule me for a CAT scan?|||If you have already been diagnosed as having migraines then a change in medication and further advice on your diet and life style would seem likely. However if no such diagnosis has been made previously then tests such as blood pressure etc on could come your way. A CAT scan might follow if indicated but that is way down the line.It really depends on the results of the investigation.

Can parents waive doctor-patient privilege for their teenage child if child is missing?
If the case scenario is if the teenager is missing, can parents waive doctor-patient privilege for a police investigation?
If you can answer this question in specific to laws in New York that'd be great, but answers from other states and countries are welcome too.|||Well, I am not in NY, but FL... and I do know that if it is to aid in an investigation, absolutely you can waive the rights and should.
This would come under HIPAA as well, and you, the parent, would simply sign a medical records release at the physician's office, allowing the transfer of medical information to the authorities.
Hope this helps... it is a very easy process actually, since you are responsible for a minor child.|||People routinely waive privilege for a lot less.

How does a doctor determine the correct dosage of Teretol Retard?
I am taking Tegretol Retard for epilepsy - 200mg twice a day. I keep reading that the minimum effective dosage is 800mg a day. Is this correct or is it dependent upon the individual? Also how does the doctor determine the dosage? Is it done through blood tests or is it simply a case of trying to see how much is effective?|||ITS DEPENDED ON EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL|||200mg twice a day is the recommended starting dose. The minimum effective dose of 800mg per day is just a guideline where most people start to see improvement. The correct dose for you is the lowest dose that controls your seizures whether it's 400mg per day or the maximum of 1600mg per day. Blood levels are the next most important parameter. A Tegretol (carbamazepine) blood level of between 4-12 mcg/ml is effective for the majority of patients. The dose is determined by starting with 200mg twice a day and slowly increasing it, until a favorable response is seen, up to the maximum daily dose.

What is the name of doctor in San Diego that will perform a circumcision in the hospital?
Most SD doctors, make you go home after giving birth and COME back to their office with your son to perform the procedure three days later.
This is due to insurance. I need a doctor that will come to the hospital in San Diego and perform the procedure there.|||If you persist in having your son mutilated, please wait until he is at least 8 days old, as the risk of hemorrhage is much greater before that time,. Your doctor should know that.
Please do your research before making this important decision. Check websites on "circumcision deaths" and "Functions of the foreskin", as well as the one below.|||You aren't going to be able to find a doctor who will go to a hospital to perform the procedure. Medical insurance and licensing doesn't work like that. Private practice surgeons can only perform in their office unless invited by a major hospital to do it over there. Plus you can't pay a doctor enough to make him do that.
Why does it bother you to do it three days later? Most doctors wait not just because of insurance but because it's much safer on the baby.
Plus if it bothers you that much why not wait until your child is 18 and can make his own decision about his own body. I mean after all you have no right to mutilate his penis without his permission.
I'm shocked you could find a doctor out west willing to circ a child without a medical reason. A vast majority of parents don't do this anymore because of how much it damages the penis and yields no medical benefits.
If you want it done in the hospital you have to find a doctor already working in the hospital.
-Connor|||I'm not sure why you want healthy tissue removed from your boy's genitals, especially when there is no medical reason to do so. An intact baby is much easier to care for than a circumcised one (less pain when changing his diaper for example) and not a single medical organization in the world recommends infant circumcision. Why not let him make the decision for himself when he reaches adulthood?|||I'm sure you have your sons best interests at heart.....unfortunately your doing it wrong and will be mutilating your son by allowing this cosmetic surgery to be done to him, it has no benefits either.|||Perhaps one should take into consideration the interests on ones son before deciding on such a procedure|||Circumcision is Unnecessary Risky, and Painful. Complications occur 2-10% of the time!(1) If you count more "minor" skin tags, complication rates as high as 55%(1) have been documented. Perhaps worst of all, more then 117 (4) to 230(5) infants in the U.S. die from circumcision every year.
DO YOUR RESEARCH The circ rate is down to 30% in the U.S. and the value of conformity is subjective any way.
No official western medical organization in the world recommends it, not even in Israel!. The Royal Dutch Medical Society, The British Medical Association, the Canadian Pediatric Society, and the Royal Australian College of Physicians have all made official policy statements against circumcision. The AAP, the AMA, the AAFP, and the AUA are in agreement that there are no proven benefits. they all have officially termed circumcision as non-therapeutic or ritual surgery.
What is the foreskin? Information about the foreskin is virtually absent during discussions of anatomy in biology classrooms, and yet, the foreskin provides a well-documeted set of crucial sensory, protective, immunological, hygienic, and sexual functions. The foreskin is a double fold of skin that is twice as big as its appearance. It can make up to 80% or more of the penile skin covering, and includes around 12-20 square inches of skin (the size of a 3x4 or a 4x5 index card!), and in turn includes a specialized sheet of dartos muscle(42,44). One of the functions of this mobile skin system is to glide up and down the shaft of the penis in order to facilitate non-abrasive stimulation during sexual activity without any need for artificial lubricant. This frictionless gliding mechanism is the principal source of stimulation for the intact penis and facilitates non-abrasive intercourse.
Not surprisingly a centuries worth an nero-anatomical research was corroborated in a 2006 study which measured the sensitivity of all the parts of the penis. they concluded
The five component tissues that are routinely removed at circumcision were significantly more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis ... which is the amputation scar on the ventral side (51)
The Victorians designed circumcision with the intention of denudation, desensitizing, and disabling of the penis. This evidence is present in medical literature in as late as the 1970’s!
The foreskin, like the eyelid, also serves an important set of protective and immunological functions. The foreskin protects the delicate glans of the penis and puts the urethra at a distance form its environment protecting it from foreign contaminants of all kinds. While simultaneously shielding the penis from injury. The foreskins inner fold and the glans of the penis are comprised of mucous membrane tissue. These are also present in your eyes, mouth, and all other bodily orifices including the female genitals. These mucous membranes perform many immunological and hygienic functions. Certain components such as Langerhans cells(52), plasma cells(53), apocrine glands(54), and sebaceous glands(55), collectively secrete emolliating lubricants(56) rich in enzymes such as lysosomal enzymes, cathepsin B, chymotrypsin, neutrophil elastase, immunoglobulin, and cytokine(58,58) whose function is to sequester and “digest” foreign pathogens. The foreskin is also responsible for the production, retention, and dispersal of pheromones such as androsterone(59). In time we will discover even more information about the foreskin and its functional components.
The intact penis is naturally clean and maintains a level of hygiene that is optimal when compared to a penis that has been altered by circumcision. In fact, a myriad of rigorously controlled studies performed by objective researchers among racially and socioeconomically homogeneous study groups in developed urban settings have shown that circumcision is often associated with either an increased risk of bacterial infections, viral infections, and major STD’s, or no significant difference.(60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,6…

There is no medical reason to justify routine infant circumcision. When you compare the risks versus the supposed benefits, the results are staggeringly in favour of leaving them well alone. These are some of the complications: http://www.circumstitions.com/Complic.ht…
If he decides on circumcision when he's older, he's:
-Not at risk of fatal haemorrhage
-Not at risk of fatal infection
-Not at risk of glans amputation, degloving or adhesions and skin bridges.
Any surgery is easier on an adult and has fewer complications, and the complications are less serious. The reality is though - in a non-circumcising country, which the USA is fast becoming with a neonatal circumcision rate of 33% (and falling) in 2009, it is incredibly rare for an intact man to want to be without his foreskin.
The reasons circumcision still continues in the USA and not in Europe or Australasia are religion and money. Doctors peer-reviewing studies in the USA have an overwhelming cultural or religious bias. These studies are laughed at, refuted and rejected internationally. The lack of a public health system encourages the practice of unnecessary but lucrative surgery - but increasingly, medical insurance companies are refusing to cover circumcision as not only is it deemed a cosmetic procedure, but they're also paying for the fix-ups - around 9% of circumcised boys have meatal stenosis, a narrowing of the urethral opening requiring surgery, virtually unheard of in intact boys.
Some common myths:
- It's easier to keep clean.
It's NOT. An intact penis should only ever be wiped gently like a finger - http://www.fathermag.com/health/boy-care… A circumcised newborn's penis is an open wound sitting in excrement. Often, the glans (which is raw where the adhered foreskin has been torn away) begins to heal onto the skin of the penile shaft, resulting in skin bridges: http://www.noharmm.org/IDcirc.htm This is a comparison between cut and intact newborn boys: http://www.drmomma.org/2010/01/cut-vs-in…
I'll add to that to say that it's also NOT cleaner in adulthood. Around half my partners have been intact and half circumcised. I've never had a smelly intact partner (except a smoker, who smelled like smoke) but I have had smelly circumcised partners. In intact men, the skin hangs freely over the glans. In circumcised men, it bunches behind the coronal ridge, making sweaty folds. I had a partner who found it very hard to stop these folds from stinking of sweat. Cleaning under the foreskin takes the adult man less time than it does for a woman to keep her vulva clean.
-It reduces his risk of HIV
Highly questionable. The studies in Africa were very poorly conducted and controlled for, only showed any benefit for female-male transmission (most sexual transmission in the USA is homosexual) and one study was abandoned when a similar INCREASE in transmission to women was shown. In any case, 60% was the supposed reduction, when the risk can be virtually eliminated with condom use. Any vaccine trial showing a reduction of 60% would be abandoned. More here: http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/full/1…
-It reduces his risk of UTIs
False. Circumcision commonly causes meatal stenosis in boys, or narrowing of the urinary tract. It is virtually unheard of in intact boys. For this reason, and because the foreskin is no longer protecting the glans and urethra, it may increase his risk of urinary tract infections. In any case, UTIs are rare in boys - even more so after the first 12 months - and can be treated with antibiotics. More on UTIs: http://www.circumstitions.com/Utis.html
- It reduces his risk of STDs
Highly questionable. Other studies have shown no difference or an increase in STD transmission among circumcised men - who may be less likely to use condoms as they already have reduced sensation. In any case - newborns aren't sexually active! This is one he can decide when he's older. http://www.circumstitions.com/STDs.html
- Most men are circumcised
False. Around 80% of the world is intact: http://www.circumstitions.com/Maps.html
- It's just a snip!
False. In adult males, the foreskin has separated from the glans. In infants, it must be torn away from the glans first - yes, even with the Plastibell procedure, which DOES involve cutting. Circumstraints are bolted to a bench and the infant is firmly strapped in place. You don't have to do this for a heel prick. Videos made by and for medical professionals: Gomco - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXVFFI76f… %26amp; Plastibell - http://www.drmomma.org/2009/08/plastibel…|||FIRST DO NO HARM. Male circumcision aka cutting off penis parts of a baby boy is trauma and harm affecting the male for life and removing a great source of pleasure for life.
The alleged benefits are contrived by people trying to keep the practice going – they want to pass it on to the next generation. There is no data that shows HIV, HPV or any STD change or any real benefit to cutting off parts of a baby boys penis.
A whole range of sensation and sexual and protective function are lost. The lips and fingertips have similar touch sense. To take this away from another person without their consent is heinous.
BTW, the infection thing is part myth part bad medical advice. Boys that are natural should not have their foreskin touched by others. The US medical advice was to pull it back and scrub with soap. That causes problems including infections. Natural boys really have no problems if you don't retract THEIR foreskin.
circumcision makes the penis dirtier, a fact that was confirmed by a study recently published in the British Journal of Urology.1 For at least a week after circumcision, the baby is left with a large open wound that is in almost constant contact with urine and feces--hardly a hygienic advantage. Additionally, throughout life the circumcised penis is open and exposed to dirt and contaminants of all kinds. The wrinkles and folds that often form around the circumcision scar frequently harbor dirt and germs.
Thanks to the foreskin, the intact penis is protected from dirt and contamination. While this important protective function is extremely useful while the baby is in diapers, the foreskin provides protection to the glans and urinary opening for a lifetime. At all ages, the foreskin keeps the glans safe, soft, and clean.
Throughout childhood, there is no need to wash underneath the foreskin. Mothers used to be advised to retract the foreskin and wash beneath it every day. This was very bad advice indeed. When the foreskin becomes fully retractable, usually by the end of puberty, your son can retract it and rinse his glans with warm water while he is in the shower.
You should know that infant boys are EASIER to care for when they are natural (intact). The foreskin does not retract until late childhood or even puberty, so you do nothing special, just wipe the outside of his penis clean and leave it alone. Furthermore, to prevent painful and bleeding erections later in life, doctors are now commonly leaving more skin behind- in a cut boy this means you may have to push the left over skin back at every diaper change and clean beneath it to prevent it from adhering or infecting. The very thing that mother's think they avoid by circumcising! In short- Intact = wipe like a finger, NEVER retract Cut= vaseline, clean thoroughly, push back remaining skin to prevent adhesions etc (the last step perhaps for several months or years).

Why not let him make the decision for himself when he reaches adulthood?|||I'm sure you have your sons best interests at heart.....unfortunately your doing it wrong and will be mutilating your son by allowing this cosmetic surgery to be done to him, it has no benefits either.|||Perhaps one should take into consideration the interests on ones son before deciding on such a procedure|||Circumcision is Unnecessary Risky, and Painful. Complications occur 2-10% of the time!(1) If you count more "minor" skin tags, complication rates as high as 55%(1) have been documented. Perhaps worst of all, more then 117 (4) to 230(5) infants in the U.S. die from circumcision every year.
DO YOUR RESEARCH The circ rate is down to 30% in the U.S. and the value of conformity is subjective any way.
No official western medical organization in the world recommends it, not even in Israel!. The Royal Dutch Medical Society, The British Medical Association, the Canadian Pediatric Society, and the Royal Australian College of Physicians have all made official policy statements against circumcision. The AAP, the AMA, the AAFP, and the AUA are in agreement that there are no proven benefits. they all have officially termed circumcision as non-therapeutic or ritual surgery.
What is the foreskin? Information about the foreskin is virtually absent during discussions of anatomy in biology classrooms, and yet, the foreskin provides a well-documeted set of crucial sensory, protective, immunological, hygienic, and sexual functions. The foreskin is a double fold of skin that is twice as big as its appearance. It can make up to 80% or more of the penile skin covering, and includes around 12-20 square inches of skin (the size of a 3x4 or a 4x5 index card!), and in turn includes a specialized sheet of dartos muscle(42,44). One of the functions of this mobile skin system is to glide up and down the shaft of the penis in order to facilitate non-abrasive stimulation during sexual activity without any need for artificial lubricant. This frictionless gliding mechanism is the principal source of stimulation for the intact penis and facilitates non-abrasive intercourse.
Not surprisingly a centuries worth an nero-anatomical research was corroborated in a 2006 study which measured the sensitivity of all the parts of the penis. they concluded
The five component tissues that are routinely removed at circumcision were significantly more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis ... which is the amputation scar on the ventral side (51)
The Victorians designed circumcision with the intention of denudation, desensitizing, and disabling of the penis. This evidence is present in medical literature in as late as the 1970’s!
The foreskin, like the eyelid, also serves an important set of protective and immunological functions. The foreskin protects the delicate glans of the penis and puts the urethra at a distance form its environment protecting it from foreign contaminants of all kinds. While simultaneously shielding the penis from injury. The foreskins inner fold and the glans of the penis are comprised of mucous membrane tissue. These are also present in your eyes, mouth, and all other bodily orifices including the female genitals. These mucous membranes perform many immunological and hygienic functions. Certain components such as Langerhans cells(52), plasma cells(53), apocrine glands(54), and sebaceous glands(55), collectively secrete emolliating lubricants(56) rich in enzymes such as lysosomal enzymes, cathepsin B, chymotrypsin, neutrophil elastase, immunoglobulin, and cytokine(58,58) whose function is to sequester and “digest” foreign pathogens. The foreskin is also responsible for the production, retention, and dispersal of pheromones such as androsterone(59). In time we will discover even more information about the foreskin and its functional components.
The intact penis is naturally clean and maintains a level of hygiene that is optimal when compared to a penis that has been altered by circumcision. In fact, a myriad of rigorously controlled studies performed by objective researchers among racially and socioeconomically homogeneous study groups in developed urban settings have shown that circumcision is often associated with either an increased risk of bacterial infections, viral infections, and major STD’s, or no significant difference.(60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,6…

There is no medical reason to justify routine infant circumcision. When you compare the risks versus the supposed benefits, the results are staggeringly in favour of leaving them well alone. These are some of the complications: http://www.circumstitions.com/Complic.ht…
If he decides on circumcision when he's older, he's:
-Not at risk of fatal haemorrhage
-Not at risk of fatal infection
-Not at risk of glans amputation, degloving or adhesions and skin bridges.
Any surgery is easier on an adult and has fewer complications, and the complications are less serious. The reality is though - in a non-circumcising country, which the USA is fast becoming with a neonatal circumcision rate of 33% (and falling) in 2009, it is incredibly rare for an intact man to want to be without his foreskin.
The reasons circumcision still continues in the USA and not in Europe or Australasia are religion and money. Doctors peer-reviewing studies in the USA have an overwhelming cultural or religious bias. These studies are laughed at, refuted and rejected internationally. The lack of a public health system encourages the practice of unnecessary but lucrative surgery - but increasingly, medical insurance companies are refusing to cover circumcision as not only is it deemed a cosmetic procedure, but they're also paying for the fix-ups - around 9% of circumcised boys have meatal stenosis, a narrowing of the urethral opening requiring surgery, virtually unheard of in intact boys.
Some common myths:
- It's easier to keep clean.
It's NOT. An intact penis should only ever be wiped gently like a finger - http://www.fathermag.com/health/boy-care… A circumcised newborn's penis is an open wound sitting in excrement. Often, the glans (which is raw where the adhered foreskin has been torn away) begins to heal onto the skin of the penile shaft, resulting in skin bridges: http://www.noharmm.org/IDcirc.htm This is a comparison between cut and intact newborn boys: http://www.drmomma.org/2010/01/cut-vs-in…
I'll add to that to say that it's also NOT cleaner in adulthood. Around half my partners have been intact and half circumcised. I've never had a smelly intact partner (except a smoker, who smelled like smoke) but I have had smelly circumcised partners. In intact men, the skin hangs freely over the glans. In circumcised men, it bunches behind the coronal ridge, making sweaty folds. I had a partner who found it very hard to stop these folds from stinking of sweat. Cleaning under the foreskin takes the adult man less time than it does for a woman to keep her vulva clean.
-It reduces his risk of HIV
Highly questionable. The studies in Africa were very poorly conducted and controlled for, only showed any benefit for female-male transmission (most sexual transmission in the USA is homosexual) and one study was abandoned when a similar INCREASE in transmission to women was shown. In any case, 60% was the supposed reduction, when the risk can be virtually eliminated with condom use. Any vaccine trial showing a reduction of 60% would be abandoned. More here: http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/full/1…
-It reduces his risk of UTIs
False. Circumcision commonly causes meatal stenosis in boys, or narrowing of the urinary tract. It is virtually unheard of in intact boys. For this reason, and because the foreskin is no longer protecting the glans and urethra, it may increase his risk of urinary tract infections. In any case, UTIs are rare in boys - even more so after the first 12 months - and can be treated with antibiotics. More on UTIs: http://www.circumstitions.com/Utis.html
- It reduces his risk of STDs
Highly questionable. Other studies have shown no difference or an increase in STD transmission among circumcised men - who may be less likely to use condoms as they already have reduced sensation. In any case - newborns aren't sexually active! This is one he can decide when he's older. http://www.circumstitions.com/STDs.html
- Most men are circumcised
False. Around 80% of the world is intact: http://www.circumstitions.com/Maps.html
- It's just a snip!
False. In adult males, the foreskin has separated from the glans. In infants, it must be torn away from the glans first - yes, even with the Plastibell procedure, which DOES involve cutting. Circumstraints are bolted to a bench and the infant is firmly strapped in place. You don't have to do this for a heel prick. Videos made by and for medical professionals: Gomco - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXVFFI76f… %26amp; Plastibell - http://www.drmomma.org/2009/08/plastibel…|||FIRST DO NO HARM. Male circumcision aka cutting off penis parts of a baby boy is trauma and harm affecting the male for life and removing a great source of pleasure for life.
The alleged benefits are contrived by people trying to keep the practice going – they want to pass it on to the next generation. There is no data that shows HIV, HPV or any STD change or any real benefit to cutting off parts of a baby boys penis.
A whole range of sensation and sexual and protective function are lost. The lips and fingertips have similar touch sense. To take this away from another person without their consent is heinous.
BTW, the infection thing is part myth part bad medical advice. Boys that are natural should not have their foreskin touched by others. The US medical advice was to pull it back and scrub with soap. That causes problems including infections. Natural boys really have no problems if you don't retract THEIR foreskin.
circumcision makes the penis dirtier, a fact that was confirmed by a study recently published in the British Journal of Urology.1 For at least a week after circumcision, the baby is left with a large open wound that is in almost constant contact with urine and feces--hardly a hygienic advantage. Additionally, throughout life the circumcised penis is open and exposed to dirt and contaminants of all kinds. The wrinkles and folds that often form around the circumcision scar frequently harbor dirt and germs.
Thanks to the foreskin, the intact penis is protected from dirt and contamination. While this important protective function is extremely useful while the baby is in diapers, the foreskin provides protection to the glans and urinary opening for a lifetime. At all ages, the foreskin keeps the glans safe, soft, and clean.
Throughout childhood, there is no need to wash underneath the foreskin. Mothers used to be advised to retract the foreskin and wash beneath it every day. This was very bad advice indeed. When the foreskin becomes fully retractable, usually by the end of puberty, your son can retract it and rinse his glans with warm water while he is in the shower.
You should know that infant boys are EASIER to care for when they are natural (intact). The foreskin does not retract until late childhood or even puberty, so you do nothing special, just wipe the outside of his penis clean and leave it alone. Furthermore, to prevent painful and bleeding erections later in life, doctors are now commonly leaving more skin behind- in a cut boy this means you may have to push the left over skin back at every diaper change and clean beneath it to prevent it from adhering or infecting. The very thing that mother's think they avoid by circumcising! In short- Intact = wipe like a finger, NEVER retract Cut= vaseline, clean thoroughly, push back remaining skin to prevent adhesions etc (the last step perhaps for several months or years).

What is the earliest a doctor will do an ultrasound?
I was just wondering at about what week or so will the doctor give you an ultrasound? I'm really excited to go but I think I'm only 4 weeks or about 4 weeks...And I was just wondering how much longer I had to wait for my 1st ultrasound. My doctor's appointment is Oct. 7th so I don't want to wait that long to ask lol...Thanks ladies!|||Mine was at 8 weeks to confirm my pregnancy.|||It depends on the doctor, I only get one at 20 weeks. If your doctor does a first trimester ultrasound it's pretty common to wait until 8 weeks when you have something to actually see. Prior to 8 weeks there is a chance that you will not see a heart beat which might unnecessarily worry you. At 4 weeks you may not even see a yolk sack, there really isn't anything there to see on ultrasound. The heart beat starts around 5-6 weeks but it's not uncommon to be a little off on dates so 7-8 weeks from your lmp is a safer time to check.
I just had my first appointment at 6 weeks and just had a pap and blood work. At 10 weeks I will hear the heart beat by doppler the same as I did my last pregnancy.|||Doctors wont do a ultrasound until 19-20 weeks it is called a complete fetal assessment...it is 1 hour long appointment where they take look at the baby...you dont get to see the screen while the they assess the baby but the last 10mins of the appointment you get to look at the baby.
I just had my 19 week ultrasound a few days ago we are having a girl.
Good luck and Congrats God Bless|||12 weeks is usually the date when you'll have your first ultrasound, and that's only if you want to screen for any medical issues with your baby.
If there are any specific concerns or other medical issues (let's hope not) then maybe you'll get one done sooner, and then more frequently after that throughout your pregnancy.
I'm pregnant with my first child, and I had one at 12 weeks, another one at 20 weeks, and should be having one at 36 weeks.
It is one of those times when you don't want to be unique, you want to be normal, because that means everything is progressing normally. So you'll need to be a little patient. When I used to run out of patience I used to google "ultrasound X weeks" depending on how many weeks I was at, and I'd just admire other people's ultrasound pictures and imagine my baby looked like that.
A really good website tells you about baby growth week by week is:

I'm assuming you already know about:
www.whattoexpect.com
www.babycenter.com
There are so many out there, the more you read, the more patient you'll be. Baby center have baby progress videos too which is nice.
Good Luck!|||Between 6-8 weeks. The doctor told me to go for my first ultrasound around mid october, I am too excited too wait, it's driving me mental. LOL. but he said to me, there's no point doing it earlier, because there would be a hard chance of seeing the embryo/fetus, and then it would mean another ultra sound would have to be repeated.(more money spent) etc.
Anyway go to the doctor on October 7th and your doctor will tell you whether he wants an ultrasound now or in a few week time.. Good Luck..|||I had my first appointment at about 8 weeks, my midwife did one for free that day. I was feeling pretty rough, and she thought it might help me through my first few weeks if I got to take a peek and see what was making me feel the way I was.

My last few doctor visits shows that I have high blood pressure, so I'm pretty sure I will be prescribed medicaition. I have a bit of anxiety and would like clonidine.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is caused by dehydration.
Hypertension is a state of adaptation of the body to a generalized drought, when there is not enough water to fill all the blood vessels that diffuse water into vital cells. As part of the mechanism of reverse osmosis, when water from the blood serum is filtered and injected into important cells through minute holes in their membranes, extra pressure is needed for the "injection process." Just as they inject I.V. "water" in hospitals, so the body injects water into tens of trillions of cells all at the same time.
Water and some salt intake will bring blood pressure back to normal.

At the law school which I graduated from, they offered a joint JD/MD degree program and that is ideally what you are looking for as these programs do all of the balancing for you and that takes a load off when planning your schedule.
These programs typically six years to complete and one usually takes the first two years of law school as one unit and the first three phases of medical school as one unit, but it is up to you which track you start first.|||I don't know about a lawyer, but I am also looking into becoming a doctor. You will first have to get a four year degree. There are certain courses you will have to take like, organic chemistry, biology, english, calculus or some other advanced math class. Anyway, check online or at the college you wish to apply and see what they require. It is not a requirement, but they recommend that you major in some sort of science. I think I am going to major in biology. It is a heck of a lot easier than organic chemistry. So after you obtain a four year degree, and maintain a GPA of at least 3.75, you must take this test called the Medical College Admissions Test, or the MCAT. The MCAT is basically like the SAT, or ACT, but it's on steriods. If you aim to score a 10 in each section, you will do fine. After you test high enough to even be considered, you will have to start applying to medical schools. This requires essay writing, interviews, more tests, ect. If you end up getting accepted into medical school, you start your medical training. This involves learning about different diseases, how to diagnose patients, and learning about the health care of patients. The first two years is a lot of studying and test taking, then the last two years are a lot of hands on with actual patients. After you finish medical school, you must take your residency test and train more extensively. The residency is basically what you want to do as a doctor. Do you want to work with OB/GYN, do you want to be a surgon, would you like to be a pediatrication? ect..... Anyway, it costs about $175,000 to $250,000 depending on where you go. (It may be more or less in some cases.) You can look into grants and student loans though for assisstance. The average time it takes to become a doctor is 12 years. It could be as little at 11, or as high as 16-18. Again, it just depends on what you want to get into exactly. Anyway, I hope this helped you. Good Luck!!! Maybe one day we'll be working together at a hospital in the future. If you have any further questions about becoming a doctor, try out this link. I found it to be very helpful:

How do you find a doctor to perform tubal ligation?
I am a 27 year old female with no desire for children and never in my entire life have wanted them. It is effecting my relationship because my overwhelming desire to not have a child is causing me to abstain from intercourse. How do I go about finding a doctor that will overlook the usual doctor "god complex" and perform this surgery?|||Have you considered Essure or Adiana Tubal Sterilization
Essure is a coiled spring device that is inserted through the uterine cavity into the tubal openings using a hysteroscope. This can be done as an office procedure. The Essure micro-insert consists of a stainless steel inner coil, a super-elastic outer coil, and polyethylene fibers wound in and around the inner coil. When released, the outer coil expands to anchor the micro-insert in the fallopian tube. As the device expands to fill the tubal opening, it gradually becomes scarred in place and forms a barrier so that sperm cannot reach the egg. The device extends from the uterine cavity, through the interstitial segment of the tube within the uterine muscle, and into the isthmic segment of the fallopian tube outside of the uterus.
Adiana is another new hysteroscopic sterilization procedure. It was approved for use in the US by the FDA in July 2009. Adiana uses radio frequency energy and a polymer microsinsert that together result in tubal blockage in the interstitial segment of the fallopian tube that is within the uterine muscle.
With the Adiana procedure, a catheter is positioned immediately inside the opening of the patient's fallopian tube using a hysteroscope. The catheter applies low-level radiofrequency (RF) energy to remove the thin layer of cells that line a 1 cm section of the inside of the fallopian tube. A soft polymer matrix implant, that is smaller than a grain of rice, is then inserted into the tubal opening. As scar tissue grows into the inplant, tubal blockage occurs. The area of the tube that is affected is smaller than with the Essure device. The portion of the tube outside the uterus is not affected. Similar to Essure, a confirmatory hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is performed three months later to ensure the fallopian tubes are completely blocked and that the woman can begin relying on Adiana for permanent contraception.|||call them up and ask

How common is it for a doctor to hit on his or her patients?
I realize doctors have ethical rules against dating patients, but just how common is it for a doctor to flirt, hit on, and ask out a patient? How common is it for a doctor to date medical staff? Which medical staff tends to date doctors most often (ex, other doctors, RN's, medical assistants, phlebotomists...). Can the relationship between a doctor and a patient ever work out? If you are a doctor, what is your experience with this and what are the stories you have heard and can share here. Thanks.|||Its not ethical as you already stated for a Doctor to make passes at his patients, But sometimes it happens they are human. I would imagine Doctors often meet people in their medical field and become attracted to them. Its okay if both are available.Its possible to meet a patient and have a meaningful relationship again if both are available. I guess if you are single and available it doesn't matter what your profession is as long as you are compatible.|||I'm not a doctor but I don't think that doctors should be hitting on patients. Also, if a relationship started and anything went wrong, the doctor/patient relationship would become uncomfortable.
Doctor and his medical staff would be similar. People in all professions need to try to make sure their personal and professional relationships don't get in the way of each other.|||Well it's illegal and though I'm not a doctor all the doctor's and nurses I know (a lot of family members are in the medical field) have their own lives outside of the office i.e. wives and husbands that aren't in the medical field. So from my perspective I would say it doesn't happen at all.|||why are you asking the same question again ???|||Yes it can work out, but you can't be his patient anymore if it does.
I assume most doctors are afraid of losing their medical licenses, so it's probably not common. Be careful not to confuse empathy with being hit on.
From the many times you've asked about your doctor possibly hitting on you, it seems like you want to go out with him. I think you need to make the first move, because if he does, he could get in trouble. Tell him you can't be his patient anymore because you have feelings for him and were wondering if he'd like to go to dinner sometime. If you do this, make sure to find a new doctor first. But like I said, be very careful not to confuse his empathy for you with romantic feelings.|||My doctor is a 70 year old woman, so I think maybe I might be a little biased with my answer....
It is VERY common.|||I probably do not have the expertise to answer this, so I will take a guess. Maybe 10% of doctors out their would hit on patients.

Can a doctor prescribe a different med or higher dosage after one week?
My meds hardly work and I have an appt tomorrow. It is non refillable and I have 30 per month but I need to take two to function. Can the doctor prescribe a higher dosage or a different medication after a week of being on them?|||A doctor can change his prescription anytime he believes it need to br changed like when it is causing a bad reaction or side effect, he feels that it is not working, or the patient is unable to tolerate the medication. He can also adjust the dosage higher or lower depending on the patient's reported reaction.|||The doctor can do whatever they want. If it's a high schedule drug (usually one that forms dependance) or if it's a special antibiotic (high risk of mutating and forming resistence), the doc will have to call a number to get permission to dispense more. But if you're already on the pills and you tell him it's not working, or you think maybe it's working a little but only for an hour or so, he'll probs give you more. Tell them if you take two and if that is working. Dr's don't care, they're not the police. He'll likely respond by giving you more with an aside about the dangers of self medicating. Self medication/changing doses can be extremely dangerous by the way. If I were you, in the future I'd call the doctor to ask if you can increase the dose prior to increasing the dose. 9 times out of 10 they will agree the dose should be increased, but some drugs store in fat and are metabolized in a way that is dangerous to increase the dose too quickly (meaning, you must take small doses over a few weeks to reach steady state in the system at which point the effects will be felt, bc larger doses can lead to electrolyte abnormalities, heart attack, seizures, coma, death).|||That depends on the medication and your insurance.

What kind of doctor would I take my son to for treatment of bedwetting?
I plan to take my 7-year-old to a doctor at Children's Hospital for help with bedwetting. What kind of doctor should I take him to?|||well, would start with a pediatrician, and from there hopefully they can refer you to an incontinence specialist, or possibly an urologist if deemed necessary.
good luck, my son has this same problem, and still waiting for a good fix!!|||First thing that you have to think about is is it hereditary??? Parents who have problems with bed wetting some times have children who have the same problems. I know that I had the same issue and my youngest daughter also had the same problem until she was about 12 years of age. What we did was use pull ups until she out grew it. As for which doctor you should take him to start with his pediatrician if it's genetic you don't' want have to put him through unnecessary tests. The pedicatirian will determine if he needs, nephologist ( a doctor who deals with kidney diseases. Because they will determine if it's caused by an organic cause. IF it's genetic than it a matter of time.|||I am assuming you first went to your pediatrician for blood work and urinalysis........At the hospital, I'm assuming you would want to see a urologist to rule out a medical problem. You may need to see a child psychologist if it turns out not to be medical but emotionally caused. There are several emotional reasons that can cause this condition.

talk to him about it. make sure he does not feel judgement and try different strategies together, what does he feel causes it?|||my brother had the same problem and the pediatrician gave him a buzzer to put in his underwear and when it got wet it would beep REAALLLY loud (my room was next to his)|||start with your pediatrition, but expect him/her to refer you to a psychologist (assuming your child has no medical problems). It could very well be depression/stress, and, unfortunately, i speak from experience as a bedwetter. Please, please PLEASE do NOT punish/humiliate your child (as my parents did me); it will mess the child up terribly. Give them lots of love and be patient; most often the bedwetting is cured in time. Sincerely, good luck, i feel for both you and the child. (i started wetting the bed due to my parents' divorce when i was three-- has your child suffered anything similiar?)|||there really is not medicane or anything to get rid of it but you can have him wear diapers at night until he learns how to stop at night
