nope i saw nothing..Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Means the testes left in the abdomen or within the inguinal canal instead of descending into the scrotum. The testis develops in the abdomen like the ovaries of the female. However, in males, the testes descend into the scrotum but if they fail to do that, they cannot produce sperm satisfactorily and also carries a higher risk of malignancy.
Who are you thinking of??? Something you saw?
who ar...kekeke dun tell u... -
hmm..
alfagal saw something at camp! -
Where did that old wife's tale come from? Far from being smarter, the risk of Down's syndrome rises significantly for mothers after 35Originally posted by alexkusu:which brings me to another question.. i heard kids that are born when the woman is past her prime are smarter. Any truth in that? -
hor....down syndrome.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Where did that old wife's tale come from? Far from being smarter, the risk of Down's syndrome rises significantly for mothers after 35

Recent research has shown that those who drink >3 cups of ordinary coffee per day have higher blood pressures but normal blood cholesterol whilst those who drink decaffeinated coffee have higher cholesterol levels and normal blood pressures.

jus wonderin oxford, do u happen to know the disease mechanism of giardia lamblia? issit by mechanical obstruction of absorptive surface of the intestine? does it produce a cholera like toxin?
apparantly, it infects homosexual men -

Just wondering, would you advocate bilateral prophylactic orchidectomy for such a person?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Someone consulted me recently about undescended testes. Unfortunately he only sought help at the age of 30, by which time there is little that can be done to salvage his reproductive capability.
Message to guys is: you've got to let them hang out
But its really a wonder how some people can live for 30 years without realising that an empty and underdeveloped scrotal sac is not normal. Just like a man i've seen who actually thought that it was normal to have 3 balls. Turned out that his third ball was an epididymal tumour that had been growing steadily for years.

Mechanical obstruction? Ya...I know it's been mentioned but I find it difficult to believe. Under the microscope the organisms are not really that numerous that mechanical obstruction is likely. You see them in the lumen and occasionally invading the tissues but they are not really that numerous. It's not like spirachaetosis where the entire surface is coated with organisms. No toxin that I know of.Originally posted by alexkusu:jus wonderin oxford, do u happen to know the disease mechanism of giardia lamblia? issit by mechanical obstruction of absorptive surface of the intestine? does it produce a cholera like toxin?

Some patients who have bad watery diarrhoea only have few organisms, so I dun think mechanical obstruction is the reason. Bottom line: I dunno the mechanism but it's not my field...
Yes, it is quite common in homosexuals...they used to call it gay bowel disease. The human rectum is not designed for sexual intercourse...it's lined by glandular epithelium designed for absorption, not squamous epithelium to resist friction... -

I know what you mean...there is a 10x increased risk of malignancy in undescended testes and since his testes are already non-functional, why not remove them? Fact is: there is some residual endocrine function although the sperm count is way down of course. It's up to him which he prefers...the higher risk of malignancy versus the need for homonal replacement. -

Oh well, nvm then -
There was an interesting programme on BBC recently about chimerism. Wonder if anyone has seen it?

i have this infection in the upper lid of my right eye...
what shud i do b4 going to the clinic?

Conjunctivitis!

Nothing serious la.. jus a common eye infection that affects mainly children..
at most you could lose an eyeball or two

Viral conjunctivitis
think i got this coz of the extensive use of aerosol in my room... -
When it has affected your vision already, you have to see the doc. If it is an infection, he/she may give you antibiotic eye drops. When it is an allergy, the doc may give you eye drops which help you with the allergy.
It doesn't sound like conjunctivitis but still visit the doc before it gets even worse. -
Hi,
Jus need some advice
I took postinor2 on 31st mar.
then suffered from fatigue and nausea 2 days after it. it lasted for 3days.
Last afternoon, I started bleeding.
In the product label, it states its side effects of bleeding (withdrawl and spontaneous) 2-3days after. Is my bleeding considered that? Even if so, what is withdrawal or spontaneous bleeding.
How do I know if I am alright? -
I think your bleeding is the early start of your period. Is it a weak bleeding, just spots, or a bleeding like during the period. (both are the side effects)Originally posted by postinor2:Hi,

I am not sure what is the withdrawal bleeding, I suppose it is the case when the abortion happened, and spontaneous bleeding should be the period (which can start earlier after taking Postinor). But not sure about it.
Have you taken just 1 pill or both pills as it should be?
When taking Postinor 2, you should visit the doc to check if it worked and you really are not pregnant, moreover when you suffered the side effects.
Don't take Postinor more then once a month, instead use a proper contraception - condoms or the pills, then you don't have to be worried and don't have to create a new ID in the forums to stay anonymous. Responsibility

Yes its like my period.
I took it as it was. 2 pills, twelve hrs apart. okie the second dose was 2 hours late though.
You mean i will still concieve even after bleeding?
why is it so that when you say I suffer from the side effects, i'd better go check? you mean they are e signs of conception? -
If your bleeding is like your normal period and has occurred at the usual time of your period, then there's nothing to worry about yet. If you get a normal period the following month (with effective barrier contraceptive), then you can set your mind at ease...you are not pregnant.Originally posted by postinor2:Yes its like my period.

However, if your menses the following month is late or abnormal in some way, it will be worthwhile to do a pregnancy test. Postinor has a 85% effective rate, which means that it can fail in a significant number of cases nonetheless. What I would be more concerned about is the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy....vaginal bleeding may not necessarily mean there is no pregnancy.
So I suggest you watch your next menses and do a pregnancy test to set your mind at ease..
