Heya. Wasnt sure where to find a way of contacting any of the doctors.
I have a large problem with eating and weight loss and gain.
I'm 5"10 (178cm) and around 9 stone (60kg), but I have cycled (usually last a months or so) when I'm never hungry and just don't eat and when I'm constantly hungry and cannot stop eating.
This means that my body keeps fluctuating in weight (around 58kg-65kg) which doesn't sound like alot, but I'm worried about the long term effect, particularly on my breasts. – this is because my breasts seem to be the frist body part ot gain/loose weight and so they keep changing size, making me worry about sag later in life.
Is there a way I can sort this out?
I understand a dietician/nutritional info is the way forward, but as I understand they're rather expensive and the NHS ques are huge.
Thanks if you do get back to me.
Hi Dr McKenna, i was wondering if you could help me, whenever i got to the toilet and excrete, a lot of blood always comes out. This has been happening for a few weeks now and i'm worried that there is something seriously wrong but i'm worried about seeing a profesional. Thank you
Hi Pixie, I live in Australia and just wish to send a note to you and your fellow doctors to tell you how wonderful I think your show is. Bringing into light all those "Scary" problems we all have is a great thing. Even I have learnt a lot.
Please keep it up and keep it coming, you a a true gem.
Cheers,

Hi, I have a problem with my vulva and vaginal lips, I believe I have a prolapse as my vulva is very swollen looking and hangs down and the lips are very stretched hanging so much that they rub on my underwear and get very sore and itchy and i also tend to suffer from cysts in the area also. The reason i think I have a prolapse is because even though I have had an hysterectomy when I was 31 I have difficulty getting feaces out of my anal canal, I have to sometimes resort to doing it manually. I am a 48 yr old woman with 3 grown up children, and have been single for 18yrs, I am so embarrased about what I look like down below, I have been to my gp (male)about this problem, when the doctor examined me (with female Nurse present)he told me to go home and forget about it, but the nurse did not hide the look of horror as she looked at my underneath, this is very depressing and embarrasing. I asked the dr for a referral but he said no. Please can you advise. Thankyou
