Answers
1)   Ask a pharmacist to recommend something.The actual pharmacist not just a clerk. - Melissa M

2)   dont worry when i went out of country and back i didn't take a crap for a whole week. But i did have to pee. If you're not peeing then you definately need to see a doctor

constipation by the way
eat fiber - Bob Hope

3)   Eat a lot because you evacuated all you had in their in China. - (A+)

4)   Well if you feel like there's something wrong go to the doctor. What was you eating over there maybe the food wasn't setting well with you. - Wasabi's girl

5)   When you travel to a new area, the bacteria that are endemic to the area are new to your system, so you will have diarrhea for a while.

Next time, talk to an Infectious Disease doctor before you go, as there are treatments to help control this.

And if your stomach doesn't recover in two weeks, see an ID doc. - Frank

6)   I think you could be suffering from chronic dyslexia. - David Wilson

7)   Take some laxatives or something. Also make sure you are drinking your bodies necessary amount of water. I would also make sure you are getting lots of vitamin c. You could just have a mild stomach bug. You can get them from mishandled food, very common in places like mexico, and I'm guessing some Asian countries. Your body should fight it and you will probably get over it soon. If it lasts for more than a week after you get back though, maybe you should go see a doc. You can check out this wiki page that I found referring to the stomach bug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveler's_diarrhea
But please, don't just take yahoo answers advice. You know your body better than anyone, and if you think you are really sick, its better to go see a doc. - jambaintoyou

Question 2
i excrete large clots of blood, im thinking it has something to do with my kidney, anyone know?...  
they are coming from my rectal area as i am excreting them out, i have pain in my lower abdominal area which is why i thought first of kidney troubles, i am a 42 year old male, i have no health problems i know of which could relate to this.

Answers
1)   Where are the large clots of blood coming from? You have a few orifices in your body- where they are coming from could tell us a whole lot more, as well as any symptoms you might be having, whether you are male or female, and your rough age (Within 10 years is fine)

EDIT: This is hemmorhage, as someone else has pointed out. Any bleeding to do with your kidneys would come from your ureter (through your penis). The kidneys are not connected to your bowels, but any large clots that are coming out are indicative of a much larger problem. You should see a doctor right away, especially with the belly pain. This could be a very serious issue- any time you have rectal bleeding that is not associated with hemmheroids (Hemmhehoids produce bright red blood and streaking with pain upon evacuation) you should go to the emergency room. Clots indicate something really really bad is happening, such as rectal cancer or crohn's disease. If they are black or tarry stools, go in right now- don't wait. It means you could lose too much blood before you could drive there. - Kristen

2)   Excrete as in stool? It's not your kidneys if it's coming out that way. - LYNN in FL (suspended @#*%)

3)   It sounds like a hemorrhage (internal bleeding). You need to go to the doctors. It's not always related to the kidney, it could be something else. - sheena

Question 3
What is causing my mysterious tight skin and how can I treat it?...  For the past two years or so I have suffered from tight skin on my face and neck. My face is also a reddish colour (although my neck is not this colour while still having the exact same tight feeling). I only wash with water in the shower and wash just once or twice a day with lukewarm water. My skin does not feel particularly dry but if I do not scrub at it in the shower then I do tend to get a build up of dead skin.

My diet is fairly healthy - I avoid all 'junk' food and try to keep it as balanced as possible.
I wanted to know if anyone else has suffered from the same problem (without having dried their skin with harsh topicals or anything like that) and if so whether they can give any advice. Obviously I am aware that I can use a moisturiser but as my skin is so sensitive they tend to disagree with it (makes it redder, causes pimples etc.).

Could this problem be down to some sort of food intolerance/allergy (I m not aware that I have any), or is it purely hereditary and something that I am forced to treat externally with moisturisers?

Thank you :)

Answers
1)   It's probably the very water that you use. Water alone does not clean and if not moisturised is much to harsh. I have sensitive skin too and use the tea tree products in summer and the Vichy in winter.

There is also a Bee product on the market that is really great and is all natural. I mean it too, no BS.

You need to clean your skin and put something on it or you will look 80 before your time. - Gideon Jones

2)   Most likely you are just dry from the face scrubbing leading to a tight feeling. Once a day washing is generally enough and even then many people need moisturizers. Use one that is noncomedogenic so you know it won't clog pores and cause acne.
Tight skin can be a sign of scleroderma, but it is uncommon and dry skin is common, so make full use of the moisturizers and see a dermatologist if that is not enough. - curator

3)   Since you obviously like to take a natural approach to skin care, I'll recommend a 100% natural moisturizer. Dr. Hauschka's Moisturizing Day Cream, or Rose Day Cream Light, are designed for people with your skin condition. If you find you like the brand, I recommend adding the other steps of the cleansing process as well.

Question 4
How do some heart attacks kill people INSTANTLY?...  How come some people are dead before they hit the ground if they get a heart attack? Like if the blood and oxygen stops going to the brain how does that instantly kill someone. Also you die immediately if shot in the chest aswel which is probably a lot better but how does it happen?

Answers
1)   Some people have weaker hearts than others so a weaker heart would be unable to recover from the shock of a large heart attack. It also depends on the severity of the attack.

You don't really die "immediately" if shot in the chest, first it depends if the heart is what was shot, and it depends where the bullet hits. - David

2)   My cardiologist told me that if the LEFT artery of the heart was blocked then having a heart attack would be deadly. A heart attack basically happens because the blood vessel is clogged and the heart is trying to push blood through it. If the left artery is totally blocked(called calcification), then the artery tears and you are dead right away..... - What Will The Spill Kill?

3)   a massive heart attack leads to cardiogenic shock which affect brain function and also other vital organs, these contributes to a faster brain death. In gun shot hypovolumic shock due to large amount of blood loss within minimal period contribute to a faster death. - aziz

Question 5
Acne scar. Is it an ugly thing?...  I have an acne scar under my left eye.
My parents insist its not noticeable but it JUST IS.
I fully understand that when you have an imperfection you see it as being far worse than anyone else does because it is your own.
Was wondering, is this considerably unattractive?. I have the impression that a scar with a heroic or interesting story behind it would make me think less of it, or perhaps even be proud of it. However, i inflicted it on myself by picking a spot years ago and i am therefore extremely insecure about it, i hate photos and avoid looking in the mirror in general.
Thoughts on scars/facial imperfections in general?

Answers
1)   Scars aren't ugly. They're just part of you. Some have awesome war stories, but some don't. The ones that don't still look fine. I think the only person who'll notice it would be you, because you're judging yourself. If another person comments on it, just say that you'd tell them the epic story of how you got it, but it'd take too long. - Nikolai Mcleman

2)   Hey, Its like you've just said it looks ten times worse then what we think. Its all about how you feel about yourself; Everyones insecure about something or the other; i mean for me its my weight i'm a size 8/10 but i still feel im fat and hate looking at myself in the mirror or i hate looking at pictures of myself.
Me as an indvidual scars dont bother me; just because someone has a scar on their face it doesn't instantly make you unattractive as cliche as it sounds its about whats inside that counts...xx - BroWn_EyeZ
