Why do many people take antibiotics for illnesses that aren't related to bacterial infections?


Dr. K that's not culture. It's called stupidity.
----------

I wish I knew the answer to this one because we are creating a host of resistant bacteria from ordering antibiotics where there is no bacterial infection, such as when people demane antibiotics for a cold. Only those who are in danger of developing a secondary bacterial illness from a cold, should be on antibiotics - such as an asthmatic prone to bronchitis or pneumonia. Physicians truly need to stop ordering antibiotics so freely and patients need to learn the disaster they are creating by asking for them. Great question! Wish there were a great answer.  (+ info)

I volunteer at an AIDS-related charity. Why are so many gay men still into?


unprotected, anonymous sex with so many different partners? Haven't we all learned anything since the 80s? With STDs and HIV on the rise again, it makes even less sense now than it did earlier. Serious answers only.
----------

Because many of them believe that HIV is no longer considered a terminal illness, but more like diabetes where all they have to do is take their treatment and live a full life. By the way, I'm straight and this dangerous misconception can also be seen among heterosexuals.  (+ info)

are yeast infections related to periods?


this is the 2nd time withing 3 months that my girl has had a yeast infection within in one week of coming on her period. are yeast infections and periods related in any sort of way?
oops, spell check within***
----------

sometimes they can be - but not necessarily.

Yeast infections are caused by a higher than normal yeast level in that area. It tends to grow there because it's dark, warm, and moist. The balance of yeast and bacteria and all the stuff that is normally present can be upset by any change in the vaginal area.

Sometimes the hormone changes caused by PMS can upset the balance. Also, sometimes women will douche during their period, and some theorize that douching washes away the good bacteria that is there to fight the yeast.

Too much friction with not enough lubricant can cause it too... so maybe if her hormones are causing her to be dry, that could also be an indirect relation.

Good luck.  (+ info)
