I went to the doctor just over a month ago as i have had unusual pains in my stomach not everyday, but at least once a week. Last year i lost my baby at almost 3 months pregnant and since the miscarriage i have had very heavy, irregular periods. a few times i think ive come on because i have quite a bit of blood, then a couple of hours later nothing, sometimes i bleed for a day, a week or 2 or more weeks. its really messed up! the doctors just tell me to go onto the pill or something to control it. but its not normal, i never had problems like this before, so why is it happening? also sometimes if i have sex, the next day i bleed a pale red/pink sort of blood. im so worried it will affect me conceiving and can i get myself reffered to the hospital for fetility checks or things like that. please, please help and advise me what i can do. thank u for taking the time to read this xx

i need help, all my life i have suffered with a bladder problem[but never got it checked]. You see every time i laugh i get a sudden urge to pee, i dont drink a lot of liquids, some times i dont even have a drink in 24 hrs. i found out this doesnt actually effect it because it still happends. Apart from that i have to use the loo every five minutes, i've never been to the doctor about it because i lived with it all my life but now im 18 and its starting to really bother me, all my friends are very witty and funny and theres no chance of me avoiding something funny happening..please can you help me, i thought it may have been OAB, but i think its some thing more because every time i do use the loo it seems like i haven't gone in ages even thought i only went five minutes before hand, Please help.

Hi I'm Harry, I'm 15, 16 in a week, and have been suffering with a problem with my penis, all my life. The glans of my penis is extremely painful to touch but is fine when the foreskin is over it. It doesn't hurt to urinate but because it is so painful, it is impossible to bare cleaning it properly, so it generally gives off a very unpleasant smell that really kicks my self-esteem. It regularily produces a white discharge under the foreskin which is difficult to clean, and again smells. The foreskin can become tight at times but I naaturally have a lot of excess foreskin. I have visited my GP about it but they have only suggested canesten which did nothing. Thank you. Harry.

hi, im 14. i have torn the skin joinng the foreskin the the tip of the penis .There is scaring where it has healed but is there something i should do ??
please reply .

my 12 year old son has 1 testicle that i can see,which has started to drop, the other seems to be hiding somewhere, is this something i should be worried about, he was born with severe exompholos, does this have anything to do with it? what should i do, any info would be great.

I suffer from vitamin b12 deficiency , I get the injections every 12 weeks, but in the last 3 weeks before I get my injection, I feel so ill, depressed, lethargic, sick and all I want to do is sleep, I have been to the doctors and every time they test my blood and say my levels are normal. Yet every time I am due my injection I feel the same. Why is this?

Thanks

Hi , I belioeve you recently featured a man suffering from urinary incontinence as a result of prostate cancer/surgery?
I am interested in discovering what surgical procedure was employed to solve his problem – was it a false sphincter?
I am very interested as my son has problems with UI due to his congenital deformity ( i.e., sacralgenesis , very similar in effects to spina bifida) and we have been attempting for many years to find a surgical procedure , and a hospital which offers the procedure , to resolve this.
All previous options have been irreversible and we consider, disfiguring, such as tying off the bladder and taking a line out of the appendix for catheterisation.We are desperately searching for help.My son is a young man now and wearing pads to prevent leakage from his bladder ( which is too small and in constant flux) is not ideal to say the least.
Can you offer any advice?
