Why Am I Gaining Excessive Body Fat Suddenly?
Sometimes changes in weight can be due to various factors aside from food. Hormonal changes during puberty, stress, lack of sleep, or even certain medical conditions can play a role. It's also possible that stopping the green tea might have affected your metabolism. I recommend seeing an endocrinologist for a check-up to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, focus on eating balanced meals, staying active, and getting enough rest.

Do I need another i-pill after vomiting post unprotected sex?
Vomiting within a few hours of taking the i-pill can indeed affect its absorption and effectiveness. Well, the medication might not have had enough time to work before you vomited. In this situation, it's advisable to take another i-pill to ensure maximum protection. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to emergency contraception. Just remember, the i-pill is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.

Why doesn't my 1-year-old want sex with husband?
It's completely normal for a baby to affect intimacy between partners. When a woman becomes a mother, her focus naturally shifts to caring for her child, which can sometimes lead to a decrease in sexual desire. Stress, fatigue, hormonal changes, and body image issues post-pregnancy can all play a role in this. It's important to communicate openly with your partner about how you're feeling. Taking time for yourselves as a couple, seeking support from loved ones or a counsellor, and incorporating small gestures of affection can help rekindle that connection.

Why Do I Have Persistent Chest Black Patches?
The patches on the chest could be due to a few different things, such as a skin condition like dermatitis or a fungal infection like tinea versicolor. Sometimes, changes in skin color can also be related to hormonal imbalances or even just a buildup of pigment in the skin. I recommend you see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can suggest the best course of action, which may include topical treatments or lifestyle adjustments.

Why are Diaformula user comments non-Ugandan?
It's not uncommon for online reviews to come from a variety of backgrounds, and sometimes, certain medications may be more popular in different regions. In fact, the lack of Ugandan heritage comments doesn't necessarily reflect the effectiveness or origin of the medication. If you're considering using Diaformula for your diabetes, it's always best to consult with your physician first. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health needs and medical history. It's important to prioritize your health and well-being, so seeking professional guidance is a great next step.

Why do I feel burning and nausea with anxiety?
Feeling anxiety can definitely impact your digestive system, leading to symptoms like burning or acidity in your food pipe, and a sensation similar to impending vomiting. This could be due to the connection between the brain and the gut, often called the "gut-brain axis." Stress and anxiety can trigger acid reflux by increasing stomach acid production. To help manage this, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding trigger foods like spicy or acidic items may also help. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Why does my erection fade during sex?
It's actually quite common for some people to experience differences in their erections between masturbation and sex. When you're masturbating, you're the one in control, and the stimulation might be different compared to when you're with a partner. Sometimes, anxiety, stress, or even performance pressure during sex can affect your ability to maintain an erection. It's all part of how our bodies and minds work together. One thing you could try is focusing on relaxation techniques or talking openly with your partner about any concerns you may have. If the issue persists, consulting with a sexologist can help rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Could water in my ear for a year be harmful?
What you're experiencing could be due to a condition called otitis externa, commonly known as swimmer's ear. This happens when water gets trapped in the ear canal, leading to irritation and sometimes infection. To help you out, I'd recommend avoiding putting any objects in your ear and trying to tilt your head to allow the water to drain out naturally. It's also a good idea to see an ENT specialist who can assess your ear and recommend appropriate treatment, such as ear drops or antibiotics if needed.

Sometimes genetics play a big role in determining our adult height. If your parents are on the shorter side, you may end up being shorter too. Other factors like nutrition, overall health, and any underlying medical conditions can also affect your height. There are ways to address this. I recommend consulting with a endocrinologist to rule out any underlying issues and discuss possible options. They may suggest certain lifestyle changes, exercises, or even hormone therapy if needed.

Why do I pee excessively in the morning?
Human beings tend to urinate more in the morning than in the evening after sleeping for a long period. This is because our kidneys expel more of the blood impurities overnight. Therefore, we should expect to pee more after we wake up. In the absence of other symptoms like pain or unusual color, it is usually normal.

Why are my SGPT and SGOT high at 21 weeks pregnant?
Elevated serum GOT (394) and GPT (327) levels in pregnancy are not widespread. These levers might be indicators of liver damage, which could be caused by some liver conditions or infections like Isaak's disease. Fortunately, you are already taking medication. Stick to your doctor's recommendations. Don't forget to have a healthy lifestyle that includes good food, proper hydration, and sufficient sleep. The monthly checkups can tell whether the problem is under control.
