I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and also problems with my kidney, how can I know which organ is aching?


I keep having this pain behind my ribs, are they from my intestine or my kidney? any doctors?
Thanks for answering.
----------

I would recommend zapping to get rid off the parasites, and then a bowel cleanse and a kidney cleanse

In my opinion. Hulda Clark's methods are the best, as follows.

Dr. Clark's Kidney Cleanse

1st Preparation:

½ package of:

* dried Hydrangea root (hydrangea arborescens)

What does that mean when a radiologist says that "there are bilateral cervical ribs"?


If you imagine the bones in the neck, the main part looks like a tyre. Through the centre of the tyre runs the spinal cord, the tyre is protecting it. To either side of the tyre are then arms which hold onto the muscles and ligaments in the neck. Sometimes the last bone at the bottom of the neck can develop longer arms and this can attach either to your first rib, or to the breast bone. The report suggests you have this on both arms. It can occur in 1 in 200 people, and can often be a coincidental xray finding. Sometimes it can cause problems, in which case you may experience various symptoms in your arms such as pain, coldness, numbness etc. In this case you may need surgery on the cervical ribs. If you have no symptoms, sometimes physiotherapy may help.  (+ info)

What is cervical mucus like on the day of ovulation?


I've heard that you get egg white cervical mucus 3-4 days BEFORE ovulation actually occurs?

I got an abundance of egg white cervical mucus on cycle days 13 & 14 and now the last two days it hasnt been there.

But according to that theory does that mean I'll ovulate on cd 16 or 17? Something like that.

How soon after experiencing your peak amount of egg white cervical mucus will you ovulate?
----------

Having prime rib for christmas eve, want to buy now how are we supposed to store it?


I am going to buy prime rib to have christmas eve for a gathering we are having. Someone told me not to buy it now, because freezing it will ruin it. Christmas eve is 11 days away and I just want to know if I should wait until its gets closer. I have cooked prime rib before, but I always bought it the same day I was cooking it. With it being christmas it might be hard to find if I wait until christmas eve. Any suggestions?

Call your local market and order one, giving them the date you intend to pick it up.
I live in a medium size city and all our grocery stores do this.  (+ info)

Why is cervical cancer called cervical cancer, if the cervical area is the neck?


I'm taking an anatomy class, and we learned that the medical term for the topmost part of the spine is the cervical area. Isn't cervical cancer cancer of the cervix, though?
----------

In anatomy, 'cervical' is an adjective that has two meanings:

1 of or pertaining to any neck.
2 of or pertaining to the female cervix: i.e., the neck of the uterus.

Don't skip any of your anatomy classes.  (+ info)

Cooking a Prime Rib at 280 degrees for inside temp 120. How long will it take to cook?


I have a prime rib that is 10 3/4 pound with 5 or 6 ribs. What I'm trying to figure out is cooking at 280 degrees and to be done at 120 degrees how many hours will it take.
I am useing a digital thermometer
----------

I agree with the other person that you really need a meat thermometer to do this. I DON'T agree that you need to cook a prime rib to 135 degrees. Go to 120 degrees like you are planning. Let the meat set at least 10 minutes after you take it out of the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute so the meat will be nice and moist and all the juice wont run out immediately when you cut it. While it rests, the temperature will rise another 5 to 10 degrees. I like prime rib at 125 degrees. This will be between rare and medium rare. If you have someone who doesn't like it that rare, give them meat from the ends, which will be more done. If I was cooking it, I would plan on it taking about 2 1/2 hours. To make the outside nicely browned, I would start in a hot oven (400 to 450 degrees) and then immediately reduce the heat for the rest of the cooking time.  (+ info)

What kind of cervical infections are common during pregnancy?


I had an emergency doctor's visit today to figure out why I'd been spotting off and on and he mentioned that he thinks it is a cervical infection. I was just wondering what kind of cervical infections there are and how dangerous they are.
----------

Here's an article for more information about the various cervical infections during pregnancy and what to do:
Bleeding during pregnancy: Why it happens, what to do
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy has many causes. Some are serious, and some aren't. Know when to contact your health care provider.
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy can be scary. It's not always a sign of trouble, however. In fact, most women who experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy — particularly during the first trimester — go on to deliver healthy babies. By understanding the most common causes of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, you'll know what to look for and when to contact your health care provider.
Bleeding during the first trimester
Many women experience light vaginal bleeding during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Possible causes of vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy include:
Implantation. You may notice a small amount of vaginal bleeding very early in pregnancy, about 10 to 14 days after fertilization. This "implantation bleeding" happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of your uterus. It's usually earlier, spottier and lighter in color than a normal menstrual period, and it doesn't last long. Some women mistake this light bleeding for a period and don't realize they're pregnant.
Cervical changes. When you're pregnant, more blood flows to your cervix. You may experience harmless vaginal bleeding after contact to your cervix, such as after sex or a pelvic exam.
Miscarriage. Up to 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Vaginal bleeding is the primary sign of miscarriage. But bleeding doesn't necessarily mean you're having a miscarriage. Remember, most women who experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy go on to deliver healthy babies.
Ectopic pregnancy. Sometimes an embryo implants somewhere outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. This is known as an ectopic pregnancy. An embryo implanted outside the uterus can't survive. And without treatment, life-threatening blood loss is possible. In addition to vaginal bleeding, an ectopic pregnancy may cause abdominal or pelvic pain.
Molar pregnancy. Rarely, an abnormal mass — instead of a baby — forms inside the uterus after fertilization. Vaginal bleeding is the most common sign of a molar pregnancy.
Infection. Some cervical infections cause bleeding in early pregnancy.
When to contact your health care provider
During the first trimester, if you have slight vaginal bleeding that goes away within a day, tell your health care provider at your next visit. If you have any vaginal bleeding that lasts more than a day, contact your health care provider within the next 24 hours. Contact him or her immediately if you:
Experience moderate to heavy vaginal bleeding
Experience any amount of vaginal bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain, cramping, fever or chills
Pass tissue from your vagina
What to expect next
Your health care provider will likely ask questions about the bleeding and do a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, your health care provider may do lab tests or an ultrasound to assess your baby's well-being.
Typically, vaginal bleeding during the first trimester doesn't require treatment. Sometimes, however, your health care provider may recommend resting until the bleeding subsides. If you have a cervical infection, you may be given antibiotics.
If your health care provider diagnoses a miscarriage, you may choose to let it progress naturally or speed the process with medication or a minor surgical procedure known as dilation and curettage (D and C). During this procedure, the doctor dilates your cervix and gently suctions the tissue out of your uterus. Sometimes a long metal instrument with a loop on the end (curet) is used after the suction to scrape the uterine walls.
If you have an ectopic or molar pregnancy, you'll need prompt treatment. Sometimes an ectopic pregnancy can be treated with medication. In other cases, surgery is needed. With a molar pregnancy, a D and C is needed to remove the tumor from the uterus.
Bleeding during the second or third trimester
As the cervix begins to thin out and relax in preparation for labor, the thick plug of mucus that seals the opening of the cervix is dislodged. When this happens, you may notice a thick or stringy discharge that may be tinged with blood. This "bloody show" is a normal sign of impending labor that may occur up to a week or two before delivery.
A bloody show near the end of pregnancy isn't cause for concern. But other causes of bleeding during the second or third trimester are more worrisome, including:
Miscarriage. Vaginal bleeding is the primary sign of miscarriage. Although miscarriage is most common during the first trimester, a risk still exists in the second trimester.
Preterm labor. Light bleeding in the second or third trimester may be a sign of preterm labor, especially when accompanied by regular contractions, dull backache or pelvic pressure.
Problems with the cervix. A cervical infection, inflamed cervix or growths on the cervix may cause vaginal bleeding in the second or third trimester. Occasionally, light bleeding may be a sign that the cervix is opening prematurely (cervical incompetence). This can lead to preterm birth.
Placenta previa. Painless, bright red vaginal bleeding in the second or third trimester may indicate placenta previa — a serious problem in which the placenta partly or completely covers the opening to the birth canal. The bleeding may stop at some point, but it nearly always recurs days or weeks later.
Placental abruption. Rarely, the placenta begins to separate from the inner wall of the uterus before birth. This may cause bleeding that's scant, heavy or somewhere in between. The bleeding is usually accompanied by abdominal pain.
Uterine rupture. Rarely, the uterus tears open along the scar line from a prior C-section. This may cause vaginal bleeding, intense abdominal pain and abdominal tenderness. If your uterus ruptures — either before or during labor — an emergency C-section is needed to prevent life-threatening complications.
When to contact your health care provider
Contact your health care provider if you have any amount of vaginal bleeding in the second or third trimester. You'll likely need an exam in the doctor's office or hospital. Seek immediate care if you have vaginal bleeding accompanied by:
Pain
Cramping
Fever
Chills
Contractions
What to expect next
To determine what's causing the bleeding, your health care provider will likely do an ultrasound and a vaginal exam. Monitors may be used to detect contractions and track your baby's heart rate. If you've lost a significant amount of blood, you may need intravenous fluids or a blood transfusion. Your health care provider will closely monitor your baby for signs of distress.
Depending on the cause of the bleeding and various other factors, treatment may include bed rest or medication. If you have a cervical infection, you may be given antibiotics. In some cases, an emergency C-section may be recommended.
Details are key to diagnosis
If you experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, don't be shy about explaining your symptoms. Describe how much blood you passed, what it looked like, and whether it included any clots or tissue. If you use pads to soak up the blood, keep track of how many. All this information can help your health care provider determine if the bleeding is a normal part of pregnancy or something more serious — and what to do next.

Good Luck to you.

What should the normal cervical length during pregnancy be?


I am 22 weeks and my cervical length is 2.2cm and I am just curious if anyone else had a cervical length around the same and how where you treated.
----------

with this pregnancy due to complications with my first I had my cervix measured every two weeks I was told that as long as your cervix 3.0cm that it was considered normal so your are short and need to be watched. I had the same problem with my first and was put on strict bed rest until I delivered at 35 weeks. With this pregnancy I had a cerclage(cervix stitched shut) placed at 15 weeks to prevent premature opening of the cervix again   (+ info)

What does cervical cancer vaccination do for me?


If I get it, what exactly does it prevent? What are the benefits?
Are there any downsides or any side effects to getting vaccinated for cervical cancer?
----------

I am actually getting the shot. The vaccination is a dose of 3 shots, and what it does is help prevent against cervical cancer, hpv, and some other diseases. It is not a for sure thing, but at least you will be more protected than women that have not received the shot. I would recommend that you get it.

As for the side effects well...I fainted after my second shot. The first one was fine, but the second one hurt really bad. However, I didn't eat before I was injected with it, so that may be why. Some other side effects are dizziness and nausea...typical side effects that could come along with any other shot. I'm going to get my third shot at the end of January, hopefully I don't faint after that one!

I hope I helped! :)  (+ info)

How much rib roast or tenderloin should I buy for my dinner party?


I am having a dinner party with at least 4 adults and 2 kids, but it could be as many as 9 adults and 2 kids. (I'm calling today to find out who's coming.

Anyway, I'm going to serve a good quality beef roast (either rib roast or tenderloin, whichever my butcher has) and I was wondering how much meat to buy. How much meat do you usually buy and how many people do you serve with it?
----------

when i was catering i did 1/2 pound per person along with everything else you have that should be plenty..BUT always make sure to get at least 2xtra pounds just in case someone seems savagly hungry .. for its always better to have a little more food then never enough as my gram always said. you can always send some leftovers home with the guests if they want some or just keep them for yourself for the next days meal or even freeze some for future meal...

i tend to like rib roast but tenderloin may be a better option for a dinner party.

Enjoy!!
