What is your opinion about children in secondary school being allowed to obtain birth control?


This is even happening without the parents being informed, is this a good idea, or not?
----------

It is a terrible idea.

Under the age of 18, the parents have the right to know anything they choose about their child.

If mountains of paperwork and parental permission is needed to get a wisdom tooth pulled, how does it make any sense that kids can sneak around (pitifully uneducated) and obtain BC and in some areas abortions with no consent from parents?

It encourages secrecy between kid and parent, but if the parent had to provide it, there would be many mistakes and broken hearts, ruined lives, etc that could be prevented.  (+ info)

What is the difference between primary and secondary risk factors for heart disease?


And a reputable source would also be greatly appreciated.
----------

There are major and minor risk factors for atherosclerosis (so I guess it could be primary and secondary; and also atherosclerosis is the leading cause of heart disease).
Major risks are: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, diabetes
Minor risk factors: male gender, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, stress (type A personality), elevated homocysteine, oral contraceptive use, increasing age, familial/genetic factors
Notice how a person can control all the major risk factors and at least half of the minor risk factors just by having a healthy life style!  (+ info)

What are the secondary effects of losing your virginity?


Im 21 and i had sex for the first time with my bf this past weekend. Sunday I bled a little bit, however it is Wednesday and I'm still bleeding. When I have to go pee it hurts really bad! Is that normal?
----------

It's normal to bleed for a few days after your first intercourse. But it isn't normal for it to hurt when you pee. If it stings when you uriniate, I'd guess you have a Urinary Tract Infection. It happens because when you have sex, bacteria gets pushed up into your urethra, giving you an infection. That's why it's important to always make sure to pee before and after sex. It's no big deal to have a UTI, but you'll want to get it under control. Drink 100% Cranberry juice, or take a cranberry supplement pill and that should take care of it.

Hope this helps :)  (+ info)

Can Cervical Cancer be a secondary cancer?


For instance, could someone have/had bladder cancer and then have lesions show up on the Cervix? Everything I've read says Cervical cancer is a primary cancer only. Just wondering if anyone has heard of it being a secondary cancer.
----------

Anything *can* be a secondary cancer, HOWEVER, I've never, ever heard or read anything about anyone having secondary cervical cancer. I bet it's extremely rare.  (+ info)

How do you recover from secondary ammenorhea?


Recently, I've been dealing with disordered eating and a lot of exercise, and I've always been regular in my periods. I am fifteen, but my last period was 2 months ago and very light and crampless, then my period skipped. I'm trying to fix this disorder, but, if I eat healthy again, and gain some weight, will my periods come back in time? How much exercise should I continue to do?

I researched this for you — Amenorrhea (absence of menses) can be a transient, intermittent, or permanent condition resulting from dysfunction of the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries, uterus, or vagina. It is often classified as either primary (absence of menarche by age 16 years) or secondary (absence of menses for more than three cycles or six months in women who previously had menses). The menstrual cycle is susceptible to outside influences; thus, missing a single menstrual period is rarely important. In contrast, prolonged amenorrhea may be the earliest sign of a decline in general health or signal an underlying condition such as hypothyroidism.

The causes and diagnosis of secondary amenorrhea and a brief summary of treatment options are reviewed here. The etiologic and diagnostic considerations for oligomenorrhea are the same as for amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is discussed separately. (See "Etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of primary amenorrhea").

ETIOLOGY — Pregnancy is the most common cause of secondary amenorrhea. It may occur even in women who claim that they have not been sexually active or are positive that intercourse occurred at a "safe" time. It is also important to note that apparent menstrual bleeding does not exclude pregnancy, since a substantial number of pregnancies are associated with some early first trimester bleeding. Thus, a pregnancy test (measurements of serum or urinary human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) is recommended as a first step in evaluating any woman with amenorrhea.

A logical approach to women with either primary or secondary amenorrhea is to consider disorders based upon the levels of control of the menstrual cycle: hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, and uterus. After excluding pregnancy, the most common causes of secondary amenorrhea are [1] :

Ovarian disease — 40 percent
Hypothalamic dysfunction — 35 percent
Pituitary disease — 19 percent
Uterine disease — 5 percent
Other — 1 percent
Hypothalamic dysfunction — One of the most common types of secondary amenorrhea is functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, which by definition excludes pathologic disease. Although rare, infiltrative diseases of the hypothalamus can cause secondary amenorrhea.

What are the chances of secondary-inhaled marijuana smoke shows up on a drug test?


I am about to begin the hiring process for a police department. I do not smoke, but many of my friends do, and I'm consistently in the midst of it. I've never actually got high from being around them, but I am just curious as to the possible effect it would have on a drug test.

Please, no immature responses.
err excuse the grammatical errors, was typing in a hurry.
----------

It depends on the type of test you're going to take. A hair test--when they take a sample of your hair--where they can see when you've smoked, it shows up even if you've inhaled secondhand marijuana. The blood test may ware off in 2 weeks. I'm not sure. Just avoid your friends if they're smoking.  (+ info)

How many years of post secondary education does it take to become a PHYSICIAN?


Hey guys,
so i am thinking of my future and wanted to know about becoming a Physician. I was wondering how many years to complete all of the education for a physician? Also, What are the high school subjects needed?
Thanks sooo much!
=)

PS: If you are Physician can you please give me your opinions on the job itself if that is not too much trouble?
----------

It depends. Technically, you are not required to have a bachelors degree (regular college) to go to medical school but it is nearly impossible to get accepted to a US medical school without one. It normally takes 3-4 years to complete medical school plus 3-5 more years of residency and specialty training if you want to specialize. So, between 7 and 14, depending. You'll likely be 30 when you're done, at least, if you're not Doogie Houser.  (+ info)

If you have pulmonary hypertension secondary to sleep apnea, how long since you were diagnosed?


I have a co worker who is the same age with the same diagnosis. We were diagnosed in the same year, so we assume we have had the disease for about the same amount of time. We both have the C-Pap. He is not on oxygen during the day. I am on oxygen therapy 24/7.

He has been a smoker. He had pneumonia last year , and it seems his disease has begun progressing much more rapidly than mine. He has been hospitalized, and needed a respirator twice in the last six months.

Is this a usual sequence for this condition?
----------

i have c.o.p.d., and sleep apnea. i use albuterol inhaler with a machine when i'm short winded. i also use advair inhaler every morning and can use it at night if needed.i have a cpap for sleep apnea. every one is different. i do not smoke. i quit several years ago. i never was a big smoker, a pack every two days. try not to be exposed to any tobacco smoke. this can get worse and your problems will progress faster,this seems to be close to the usual sequence of these respiratory problems. i hope you feel so much better. god bless you . take care., susie  (+ info)
