if i cut a mole off my body will i die?

Hi medfag, check dr. Elist on penor enlargement, share your thoughts.

Why do I put things in my dick hole while I fap.

Nope, but if you don’t do it with a good margin they might grow back. If you want them removed, got see a dermatologist

what kind of doctor are you?

Canadian, 23, non trad background (i.e non STEM). Final year of school is coming up but GPA looks like it will be around 3.7 which is not great but not bad. I also am currently prepping for the MCAT (signed up for a course and stuff). Do you have any advice for whenever I get into med school? Probably the pre clinical years especially? I have taken some anatomy, basic bio and intro chemistry but med school here is not like the USA cause most don't have mandatory pre reqs. I'm a little anxious that I might struggle but I have heard that a fair amount of med students come from from non STEM majors. What was your experience with that like? Any classmates like that?

Also what are your thoughts on British and Australian medical schools? It's more expensive than Canada but comparable/a bit cheaper than US schools. Was contemplating those as a back up plan.

why does the tip of my dick have white colored patches on it. don't think girls will appreciate it very much if i'm ever getting laid.

Can high blood pressure cause tinnitus?

Have checked, he is the only one that has published an article on this particular implant. You should check it out yourself and decide. It’s definitely biased but seems to report increased self esteem after surgery. I suggest you search for some testimonies, the article doesn’t report any possible complications afterwards, which you should be aware of.

No clue, when did it start?

I’m doing my residency at the moment, not a doctor yet.

Dont mind this med school fag everyone he reads from a text book

What is your residency in? Fam med? Psyc? Gen sx?

is it true that if u masturbait too much you die?
i once did 9 in the same day

I have moderate but constant pain in one of my molars, it's very sensitive and it hurts when I drink water and when I try to chew. My tooth looks normal.

Would you advise against sucking a log of shit out of Andy sixxs asshole?

I researched the shit out of it, seems legit. I consider having one bc tiny dick.

What littman stethoscope do you recommend for general use?

Difficult to answer for me, I’m European. So we right away start with med school, no elective courses in the pre clinical years. But anatomy bio and chemistry are a must to understand basic concepts in med school. Unfortunately don’t know too much about British and Australian med schools. From what I hear here people aren’t too fond of the British.

Will taking adderall at ~80mg a day and staying awake for 3 days straight during finals week permanently damage my brain?

Any other problems? Does it itch? How long do you have this already? And how has it progressed?

slut

Got it thanks for the input. In your pre clinical years, how much physics and math did you apply? Here most schools don't require physics or stats/calculus but in the USA almost all schools require it for some reason.

No, not unless you do it for a year. Amphetamine can cause structural changes to the neurons In the basal ganglia but only at high prolonged dosages. Worry more about your heart. That can KILL you.

It can make the tinnitus worse. Did you have tinnitus for a longer time? Or did it suddenly start? Is it one or two sided? Do you also hear less then you have (which ear)?

Right bow doing general surgery.

Any tips for a pre-med fag? Aside from high MCAT and GPA, already on that

Go see a dentist, sounds like a cavity

I am not OP but I know a fair amount of stuff about nootropics from the research I have done for my degree. Honestly when it comes to adderall most of the clinical literature finds minimal benefits for non ADHD individuals. Some of the benefits can even be attributed to placebo. Modafinil is way more effective but the long term impact on the brain is unknown. My advice: don't bother with "cognitive enhancing" meds.

No one would advise you against it.

Where do you live?

I use a classic III

USA, sorry if this mirror the question the other guy asked. Didn't notice it before I posted.

Though I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with the burden and stressors of med school

>Any other problems?
nope

>Does it itch?
nope

>How long do you have this already?
i noticed it like 2-3 years ago. it began with the frenulum, it used to have the same white tint and it disappeared if i didn't jerk off for a longer while

>And how has it progressed?
it seems to just keep getting bigger little by little.

worth a shot i guess.
two years ago i tripped on the stairs and i fell forward on the stairs (going up). my hands managed to prevent me from completely falling but due to this my left elbow started hurting, accompanied with a tingling sensation in the ring and little finger. I tried everything, three physcial therapists, went to a neurologist and got an mri of the elbow and an EMG. They said they couldn't find anything significant. Meanwhile i'm still suffering from the tingling sensation, pain in elbow is gone. Where the fuck do i go from here?

I would advise against it, but that’s mainly because of your heart not your brain. No clue what it does on the long term though, not quite sure we know.

Well depends on your definition of dangerous. Wouldn’t recommend because it won’t be good for her vagina and bacterial flora.

Apart from calculating concentrations and titrations, and some physics on vectors not too much. You can manage with the math you’re taught in high school (atleast that’s where I’m from)

Well don’t know how it’s in the States, but I got in through another way after not getting into med school after high school. I have earned my bachelor in bio medical sciences first, afterwards I did the pre-clinical part of med school in a year and then started my residency.

So look if there are other ways to get in if you don’t, just keep working hard. Read books. It’s a breeze after you finally get in. It’s not too hard, it’s just a lot to learn in a short time frame, try not too cram but understand the concepts. Doing it this way makes you really remember it, instead of reproducing.

Do you have any other places with these patches? Your chest, arms, legs or face?
Does it hurt? Does the skin feel more tight at that spot?

Where did they measure the EMG, wrist or elbow? They could tell by MRI and sometimes also by ultrasound (the latter is much cheaper). Does really sound like an ulnar neuropathy, but they should be able to tell by EMG

>Do you have any other places with these patches? Your chest, arms, legs or face?
no, no other places.

>Does it hurt?
no

>Does the skin feel more tight at that spot?
no, but i think the texture of it is a little different. a little more smooth. though i'm not sure.

btw, the white patches so far have only appeared on the back side of the glans.

emg was done at the elbow, they also used some sort of a needle near the little finger that made waves appear on a screen.

Sounds like lichen sclerosus. You could google some pictures. Any people in your family with auto-immune diseases?

I have a pain that feels like pinching, in the left side of my abdomen. It comes and goes, but is particularly worse when I eat something spicy or acidic. Seems like an ulcer. What's the best diet to keep inflammation down in my intestines/stomach?

that is a lie you would have died after number 5

are you jesus user

There are dozens of schools in the Caribbean. Some Canadians go there after high school.

They should’ve done more tests with the EMG apart from those two spots? Have they?

IV

no they haven't. the neurologist pretty much said can't do anything else for you gl bro. What should be tested then?

Abdomen or behind the ribcage? Any other accompanying problems apart from the pinching, like nausea, vomiting (any blood)?

behind the ribcage. No nausea, vomiting, or blood to speak of.

i googled and it looks nowhere near as extreme as those pics. just innocent white colored areas on my dick. like pic related except of course i'm not black.

>Any people in your family with auto-immune diseases?
i don't think so

Well, towards the bottom of the ribcage. Not in my chest aria.

Stimulating different points on your arm and wrist, not just near the elbow

First thing a doctor could try is eradicating Helicobacter pylori in the stomach. If that doesn’t work it might be heart burn, just let them prescribe you proton pump inhibitors. Also do you take medicine, any painkillers?

No medicines or painkillers taken at the moment. I was taking pepcid, but it didn't do much for the symptoms.

It could start of more innocent than you find on google. Yeah vitiligo is something that could also start in the genitals. There are some other typical spots you could check, sometimes they’re hard to see. But check armpits and thighs, and check your feet. A UV light can show whether these spots are depigmented (if so might be vitiligo)

I would never go to the Caribbean med schoolw. They are diploma mills for retards and the residency match rates in Canada are horrrible. At least Australian and British medical schools have excellent quality of education and mostly smaller class sizes.

Go ask your doc for a H. Pylori eradication. If that doesn’t work get a PPI, preferably 40 mg once a day.

how likely would it be that there is a nerve entrapment near the shoulder or upper back?

Unlikely, that should cause more harm to other parts of your arm/fingers. Your problem lies with ulnar nerve. Impingement or rupture in plexus brachialis (the ulnar nerve branches of from there) will cause problems in other branches as well

Thanks. What are the dangers of H. Pylori if left untreated?

So what do you recommend, should i go back and get another emg for the plexus brachialis?

Peptic ulcers which could ultimately lead to a perforation of your stomach (PPU).

I shoved a pencil up my ass Will it come back out?

What wrong with me OP?

Is it possible to pull back my foreskin without surgery. Ive been able to see the tip of my head little by little every time

How do you feel about medical education being such a cluster fuck in the U.S., making it so damn annoying to "prove oneself's" worthy of it, and yet its apparently producing nothing but shit since medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death in U.S.?

I have lower back pain from waking up in a bad position. Went to the gym that day and lifted up a weight and felt a sharp pain. Is there anyway to fix this besides stretching which i already do. Any medicine

he's not even from the US, read a bit before posting.

Can you move your ring finger and pinky just as much as the other fingers? Do you feel the difference between sharp and soft touch on those fingers? I’m guessing the EMG wasn’t done right, they should’ve atleast done EMG stinulation on your wrist, below the elbow and above. If the just did elbow and pink finger, it wasn’t a good examination

i have brown skin and there is a browner dot on my leg, could it be cancer?

Thanks again for your advice. Last question, are there any OTC remedies for this, or only prescription?

It is but don’t recommend, if you have phimosis, go see a doctor.

Attached: 6002856196.jpg (2112x1614, 142K)

Can’t really answer it as I’m not studying in the US. But it’s hierarchial structure and really competitive which enables this kind of behavior. I doubt it’s 3rd leading cause though, any source?

Fak me life mate, sorry anonmedfag, enjoy actually being a medical doctor out of a love of medicine then, my kudos and utmost gratitude and admiration

Rest and painkillers. Just don’t lift heavy things for a few weeks, take enough painkillers so you can walk normally, don’t try to overcompensate by limping.

every so often i get pain in either of my balls. im not evne doing anything when it happens, jsut sitting. its a strong sharp pain that makes me wince, itll go away for a bit then come back, then go away then come back. then it goes away for a while until another day when it happens again. im not even fapping before or during when it happens so i dont know what the problem is

Post a picture, can’t help you based on this alone.

80% of ulcers are H. pylori related, but omeprazol (PPI) is OTC. You could try the PPI (40 mg omeprazol once a day) first if you’d rather not see a doc for a prescription. For the eradication you need certain antibiotics.

See
And it's legitimate, granted I have not bothered reading the John Hopkins study myself and you know media likes to overhype findings but.....considering my treatment and multiple.....MDs telling me that uric acid and high ALT are completely unrelated (obese 26 year old at the time, post cholecystectomy....at 25.....) high liver values.....gouty arthritis on left heel....other inflammatory sequelae..... and those idiots telling me unrelated.......

It's metabolic, fructose metabolism in liver---> uric acid and me having been (and currently back towards) being a fatass.....there"s the accumulation and of course they are related since all I had were METABOLIC disorders due to shit diet and excess sugar.

Oh oh oh btw.....did not have metabolic syndrome....because ya know.....check marks didnt quite make the 5 selection criterias....they wanted to wait until my pancreas started being retarded to realize its metabolic (insert facepalm)

Haha appreciate it, i make long days but enjoy every bit of it if it means I can help someone. That’s why I make these threads, not everyone has the luxury of going to the doctor as much as some should.

Crap forgot the link to npr talking about the study

I can move them perfectly fine, no difference in sensation, sharp or soft. I didn't explain it quite right, they used a needle in my hand like pic related.

IS THERE A FUCKING SOLUTION TO CONSTANT REFLUX HOLY SHIT WHY DOES MEDICINE HAVE ZERO ANSWERS BESIDES GENERIC "OY HAVE SOME PPI AND DONT EAT SPICY FOOD BEFORE BED AN KEEP YER MEALS SMALL AND NON GREASY"

IM TIRED OF REFLUX, THIS SHIT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, ITS NOT HEARTBURN ITS JUST CONSTANT REFLUX THAT MAKES MY AIRWAY SWELL AND MAKES RESTRICTIONS ON BREATHING UNTIL I BURP ENOUGH OF THE STUPID GAS OUT OF MY STOMACH SO THE BLOATING GOES DOWN A BIT AND STOPS PRESSURING ACID MIST UP MY ESOPHAGUS THIS SHIT HAPPENS WITH EVERYTHING I EAT AND ANTIACIDS DONT DO SHIT FML I DONT WANT SURGERY ANYONE GOT HOLISTIC OR NATURPATH RECOMMENDATIONS? I THINK I GOT A LOT OF BACTERIA IN MY INTESTINES OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I GET BLOATING AND SWOLLEN STOMACH NO MATTER WHAT. ALSO I HAVE NUMBNESS FEELINGS ACROSS TEH FRONT OF MY ABDOMEN AND THE DOCTORS DONT KONW WTF IS CAUSING THAT AND SAY DONT WORRY ABOUT IT ITS NOTHING LIFE THREATENING BUT FUCK MAN THEY WONDER WHY I HAVE ANXIETY HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU RANDOMLY HAD TINGLING NUMBNESS ACROSS THE FRONT OF YOUR STOMACH COME AND GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY?

Also don’t forget that not all docs are as good as you hope they are. You have bad employees everywhere, doctors are just as much humans. Sad to see you’ve had a bad experience. Do know that a lot isn’t known or has been accepted as a fact because of a lack of hard evidence. Not too sure about this particular case though.

When do you start feeling the warning signs of a heart attack. Few uncles and a guy I play darts with just dropped dead recently. They were in their 50's / 60's, and the scariest part is that they literally just "dropped dead". Is it possible to not feel any warning signs at all? What should people over 50 be wary of in terms of changes of their health that could be a sign of imminent heart attack?

There is a reason why a lot of us fat-ass weebs keep body pillows, They are great for sleeping posture.

Well make them do a ENG, might give different results. If you do need surgery for an impingement, it’s unlikely it would solve your problems because you’ve had it for 2 years now which lowers your chance of getting rid of those symptoms.

Like I said earlier, try h pylori eradication. And I must ask, how long dis you try to use the PPI and in which dose?

Problem with cardiovascular problems is that the moment the tip scales it doesn’t end too good. Best thing is to minimalize your cardiovascular risk. Eat healthy, check your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides (not necessary if you’re young). These are all riskfactors, which unfortunately you don’t have to notice until it goes wrong.

Glad I could help some of you out. Going to sleep now. Will be back soon with another med fag thread.

So basically i'm fucked. I was on my way ascending to normiehood in the gym and lost all that progress. Could the symptoms get worse by working out?

what if i had a stool test for h pylori that was negative, should i try eradiaction anyway? my doctor prescribed rifaxin in case of overgrowth of bacteria, will that kill h pylori? thanks

i tried omeprazole twice daily, 20mg in morning 20mg at night for months, it did not stop the reflux. the gastro had me try pantoprazole for a month, it made the reflux bland but did not stop it from happening. he said i would most likely have to take PPI for the rest of my life. thats when i quit going to him because the PPI makers clearly say on the box not to use it long term

Been suffering from blueballs the last 3 times I've masturbated, with the pain lasting a good amount after finishing even. One time as bad as a whole football team running over my balls, but I've probably overdone it on the teasing there. I'm concerned I might have testicular cancer or some shit, it's been running semi in the family

Wouldn’t say so, the problems you have are quite mild, severe ones have also loss of strength in the fingers, you only have some sensory loss. Working out too much always puts a strain on your body, this could indeed be caused or worsened by flexing the arm. To ensure it doesn’t get worse don’t lean on your elbows, don’t flex/cross your arms too much

have been drinking heavily basically everyday for one year. How many years has that cost me

why do i have a bruised feeling on my back between my spine, it never goes away its been like 6 months, but there is no marking or bruise there? but it hurts to touch really bad, like its bruised hard? could that be a hernia?

Nope they reside in your stomach. You need to eradicate with a PPI, augmentin and claritomycin. And afterwards 4 weeks of just PPI. PPI’s can take up to 6 weeks to really start working. 20 mg twice a day is fine. PPI’s are also prescribed for patients for their whole life. These things are written on OTC meds to ensure people consult with a doctor first. PPI’s are harmless (apart from some side effects, namely manboobs)

I fucked my lower bavk a while back, all muscle pain is gone but got shocking feeling down back of left leg and lost flexibility to touch my toes, what do you think ?

Im putting my bets of a slipped or ruptured disc

Hernia’s tend to have pain in a larger segment all the way to your leg, not locally. Is it also swollen? Or does it only hurt when applying pressure

Could be, go see a doctor!

>. You need to eradicate with a PPI,
i thought h pylori thrives in low acid condition, and actually lowers the stomach acid (raises pH) by itself. so PPI help it survive?

do you think if i had a negative stool sample the h pylori could still be to blame? for some reason it seems like the docs or the insurance are too cheap to do multiple tests, i asked about a blood antibody test and they said its not necessary

its not swollen it just hurts when i put slight pressure on it with my fingers. if i reach behind my back and find my spine with my fingers, and follow it up to a point, there is a spot between the spine knobs that hurts like crazy when you put some finger pressure on it. if i bend down to touch my toes and let my body hang forward, the same area burns like a hot burning pain when it stretches. i cant sit without a backrest for any period of time because the area starts to hurt . so if i sit cross-legged on the ground for like 10 minutes for example it starts to hurt real bad. i need to be sitting on a couch or chair with a back rest. its the spine knobs just below my shoulder blades

if by drinking heavily every day you mean roughly 10 shots worth of alcohol/day then i'd say you've taken roughly 15 years off of your lifespan. The general rule of thumb is 3 times 5 to get 15 years off ur life lol

What are PPI’s?

proton pump inhibitors

bullshit. churchill would have been dead at 50 and james ellroy too.

Since a few (3 or 4) weeks I feel cannon waves on the right side of my neck about thrice a day. This 'attack' lasts about 5 seconds. 19yo. Don't have any palpitations. No history of heart problems. My question is: should I worry? Os it hypervigilance or perhaps a side effect of recent molly use?

Does your awful grammar hinder you in your studies or have standards slipped so much that any semi-literate can get a medical degree if mom and pop pay enough?

>using drugs that can easily kill you
>wondering why there are weird feelings

stop using drugs

I’ve got phimosis. I’m 29 years old. The glands are that sensitive it’s painful to touch. Is there a solution other than circumcision?

I think I have fucked up my gastrointestinal about 4 years ago with drugs and alcohol.
Symptoms are: nausea, pain on the right side in addition to shoulder blade and also down next to the spin, amnesia I’m white like snow, tiredness. Sometimes swollen stomach after meals. How much time do i have?

I have an immensely difficult time urinating. Not like, painful, but I have to push and wait like 20+ seconds to pee (19 male here, no detectable diseases, masturbates often which is prolly why lol).

Anyone got any ideas what it is or how to fix?

i was just diagnosed with testicular cancer yesterday and had an orchiectomy today to remove the cancerous testicle. i was told it was nonseminoma but also that i got it out in time. Is this true or is it far too optimistic?.

I need anus transplantation.

> nausea
when do you have nausea? What provokes it?

> pain on the right side
what do you mean right side? What kind of pain? Does anything provoke this pain?

> amnesia
how long have you had it? Long-term of short-term memory loss?

> bleak
since when did you notice you're more bleak, is it constant or does it come and go?

monday is my first day on surgery rotation, any tips?

Do you take some meds?

I have 2 penises and only 3 people know about it. My girlfriend and obviously parents.

It is stump pain in the right side of my back. my doctor mean it can be a ulcer and gives me Pantoprazol 40mg/daily.

With amnesia I mean I’m bleak constantly since about 4 years.

I get nausea by doing physical work or after workouts.

Would laxatives work?

Do you smoke anything else ? Could be Acute coronary syndrome made worse by smoking causing the blood vessels around your heart to shrink. Don’t push it bro. Take care of yourself. But if you really don’t give a fuck take sublingual nitroglycerin, it’s a vein dilator.

interesting. maybe you already have cardiovascular disease and the marijuana is triggering a cardiovascular event? a heart attack is an event not a condition. do cardio workout.

this is coming from someone that had an enlarged heart.
