Answers
1)   Yes, it could be an STD.

Go to a doctor and get examined. What else is there? - Obsidian 74

2)   Trust me,you'll know when it happens. - Rin

3)   You could have a yeast infection.
If you start having pain while urinating it's probably an STD.
Best to go get checked out either way. - **kristen**

4)   it might be yeast or a bacteria infection go get a At-Home Screening Test for Vaginal Health in a grocery store just to see if its just a infection first, i took one very easy heres the link

Question 2
Performing Oral Sex on Wife w/ Cut on my mouth?...  I know this sounds stupid but... I went out last Friday night and got into a scuffle, caught one in the mouth, and nearly bit my lip off. When I got home that night I rinsed my mouth with mouth wash and peroxide. The next day I did the same, the bleeding had stopped completely but the wound was obviously not healed. My wife and I got a little morning action going and I went down on her, all the way down... (I was licking her asshole). anyway. Monday around noon I began feeling extremely ill; body aches, sweats, nausea, fever, etc. I figured I had the flu. Tuesday, it got worse. Wednesday, I went to urgent care. They took blood, x-rays, the whole 9. I pointed out my lip but failed to tell them my wife and I. They told me that I had a severe bacteria infection, they gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way. Its Friday now and I'm still feeling pretty bad. I'd say I'm at about 50%.

Question:

Is there something more serious this could turn into since my doctors were not aware of the possible cause of infection?

Do you think if I just continue taking what they prescribed it'll clear up within a couple days?

Answers
1)   Yeah... licking a woman's asshole will do that to you... you really should have just been honest with the doctor. Big deal, you licked out your womans anus. Why be ashamed of it? TELL THE TRUTH NEXT TIME! A doctor needs accurate information. - Captain Obvious

2)   Hi there,

If the infection hasn't cleared up in 7 days:
Go see your doctor and tell him the whole story. You don't have to go in to detail but tell him you might have touched you wives asshole and put your finger in your mouth accidental.
You probably got the infection like that and if you got antibiotics it should do the trick.
Women get bladder infection from poo bacteria all the time so hang in there...
Good luck - Moby1122

3)   I think you will have a complete recovery. Your cut most likely had nothing to do with your problem. You probably ingested some fecal bacteria when when having oral sex with her anus. That is what made you sick. I hope you did not kiss her afterward. - bruce b

4)   You should use cialis, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://webmd74.notlong.com/AAsXY5g - Kelleigh Fioretti

Question 4
Health question. please helppp?...  I'm 16 and I have this lump that I just noticed this morning. It's in that spot right below my right ear under my jaw. It hurts when I touch it. It's like almond sized and you can't see it from the outside; you can just feel it. But it's not on the other side. What could it be? I'm concerned. Thank youuu :)

Answers
1)   PROBABLY, it's an inflamed salivary (spit) gland.
These tend to clear-up on their own just as rapidly as they appear. - Smitty

2)   You could have a blocked salivary duct. Get a very bitter lemon sucking candy and let it melt in your mouth. That will force the clog out. Enjoy your lemon drop. - bruce b

3)   This might be a salivary gland or it could also be a lymph node or other type vessel. If you start feeling any type of symptoms like pain or bleeding, numbness or tingling try to see a doctor before the week-end. Since this might not be possible try to at least call by the end of the day for early Monday or Tues. unless it gets enough to have someone take you to the nearest large hospital or trauma center where the police take there hurt on duty people. The reason for this is because they have the best doctor's, specialist's and testing machinery so the doctor can order anything with results not too far behind. When you're 16 everything might seem worrisome, but who knows your body better than you? Be honest with yourself and all health care people, follow their advise and you can live a long and happy life. This is why they all spend so much money and years learning. Good luck and God Bless - namairb2

Question 5
What is more serious me having severe dental problems or me being a pre-diabetic and refusing to take my?...  Metformin, instead I changed to bitter melon and Lovaza how effective is this? I also binge drink every week constantly without any weekends or fridays off.

Answers
1)   Pre diabetes is the most serious. It can lead to blindness , kidney failure , heart problems and amputations. The sooner Metformin is used in treating diabetes the better the results and lasting usefulness of the drug.
We know that metformin is the best drug for type 2 diabetes. It's tried and proven. Bitter melon and Lovaza are not as effective.

Of course dental problems are also serious . Or can be .
Also one of the best regimens for diabetes is a low carb diet . And most important is exercise. With the combination of the two you may not need drugs. But must really adhere to regimen.

Good luck
