Hair Loosing Problem:-
__________________________
Q: I am a 23-year-old man and I am losing hair from the top of my head. I can already glimpse my scalp between the hairs. I need help!
A: Most men lose their hair because of male pattern baldness. It is inherited and can set in at any age. A plethora of medical conditions such as thyroid disease, mineral and vitamin deficiency as well as heart disease can also cause this. It is important to consult a dermatologist to rule out these conditions. If no treatable cause is found, you are left with the option of regular use of minoxidil solution (if stopped the hair may fall out again), hair transplant surgery or wearing a wig.

Pain During Period:-
_______________________
Q: I have terrible pain during my periods and am unable to go to work for two days. Taking that much leave is really bad for my career.
A: Anecdotally, avoiding caffeine (coffee, tea and cola drinks), alcohol (for those crucial days) drinking at least three litres of water daily, avoiding both refined carbohydrates and calorie dense comfort food (chocolates) and increasing consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables reduces pain in the long run. Certain yoga poses done regularly as well as aerobic exercise for 30-40 minutes a day also helps. For immediate relief of the painful cramp, try a hot water bottle placed on the abdomen and analgesics like ibuprofen or paracetamol.

Urinary Tract Infection:-
____________________________
Q: I had a hysterectomy several months ago. Following that, I develop urinary tract infection frequently. I have chills, high fever and burning while passing urine. I take antibiotics for a day or two. The fever usually subsides only to recur a week or ten days later.
A: Urinary tract infection is difficult to eradicate, especially if it hospital acquired, follows catheterisation and is recurrent. A culture and sensitivity test of the urine will help to determine the organism and help choose the appropriate antibiotic. It usually needs to be taken for 7-10 days.

Exercise Wise:-

Q: Following all your advice in the newspaper I started yoga and running. Every part of my body of my body hurts and I waddle when I walk because of pain.
A: Exercise has to be increased gradually. Start with just 10 minutes a day six days a week. Then increase by 5 minutes a day every week until you reach 40 minutes a day. You need to do stretching and flexion daily as well. It is better to learn yoga with an instructor so that you do the asanas properly and avoid the ones unsuitable for you. Try applying ice to the painful areas. It will provide some temporary relief.

Psoriasis Gene:-
____________________
Q: My marriage is being arranged with a man who has a skin condition. I found that it is psoriasis. Is it contagious?
A: Psoriasis is a common skin condition where a faulty immune system makes the skin cells grow so fast that they cannot be shed in a timely manner. They pile up making the skin flaky and itchy. It is not contagious, but certain inherited genes make you more likely to develop it. Your children have a 10 per cent chance of eventually developing psoriasis if you marry this man.
