Most acne begins at puberty. This is when the body starts to produce androgen hormones. Androgens cause the over stimulation and enlargement of the sebaceous glands. Sensitivity to these androgens also cause acne to appear during the menstrual cycle and occasionally in pregnancy. The extra sebum or oil that the sebaceous glands produce mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria on the skin's surface which blocks the pores. Inside the blocked pore, bacteria multiply and cause inflammation leading to the spots and pustules associated with acne. Stress can also cause the production of hormones like cortisol, which can aggravate acne. Diet - many people think that eating chocolate cause pimples. Research has not been able to prove any such link, but some people find that it works this way for them. It is possible that a person eats chocolate when they are under a lot of stress, and that it is actually the stress that causes the pimples. However, healthy eating may help.	Not everyone who is overly hyperactive, inattentive, or impulsive has an attention disorder. Since most people sometimes blurt out things they didn't mean to say, bounce from one task to another, or become disorganized and forgetful, how can specialists tell if the problem is ADHD? To assess whether a person has ADHD, specialists consider several critical questions: Are these behaviors excessive, long-term, and pervasive? That is, do they occur more often than in other people the same age? Are they a continuous problem, not just a response to a temporary situation? Do the behaviors occur in several settings or only in one specific place like the playground or the office? The person's pattern of behavior is compared against a set of criteria and characteristics of the disorder. These criteria appear in a diagnostic reference book called the DSM (short for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).	Are you completely happy with the way that you look?

Male: One of the most essential steps in the ability to conceive occurs in the prostate gland. This gland is in the news a lot as researchers are discovering just how it functions and affects some important systems in our body. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra almost like your hand would grip a small cup. One of the prostate’s functions is to provide for the delivery of sperm. It produces seminal fluid, or semen. Female: Did you know that around 70% of all attempts to become pregnant using fertility drug therapy or treatments will not result in pregnancy? That means about 3 out of every 4 attempts will end in heart break, not to mention break the bank. And of the remaining 30% that do result in pregnancy, only 14%, LESS THAN HALF, will have the desired outcome. That means of the slim to few that actually do get pregnant, more than half of those pregnancies result in multiple births, birth defects, or unknown outcomes. Not too good.	According to the American College of Rheumatology, Fibromyalgia affects 2% of the population. While it is not fully understood, some symptoms include aching, fatigue, lack of sleep, morning stiffness, headaches, and depression. Causes of fibromyalgia are not known. The condition produces vague symptoms that could be associated with lesser blood flow to certain parts of the brain and higher amounts of substance P, which is thought to be a sensory neurotransmitter involved in the communication of pain, touch, and temperature from the body to the brain. Researchers have identified several other possible causes, including the following: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction Viral or bacterial infection Chronic sleep disorders Immune or endocrine system dysfunction Upper spinal cord injury Emotional stress or trauma	Research from Medline Plus Health Information indicates that 90% of the population has been exposed to HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) while 25% of the population between the ages of 25-45 have been exposed to HSV-2 (genital herpes). Both cause a lifelong infection. Herpes infections most commonly occur in the mouth, but can also occur in the genital areas and around the eyes. Some common symptoms are swelling, redness, clusters of blisters, fever, headache, fatigue, pain, and blurred vision. These symptoms are often the worst during the first infection. There are two types of the virus. Type 1 herpes (HSV-1) - Cold sores Type 2 herpes (HSV-2) - often associated with genital herpes
If you’ve ever experienced kidney stones, or you are experiencing them for the first time, you know how excruciating they can be. Perhaps you’re not sure if you’ve had them before but recall experiencing some mild or even serious discomfort during urination, a dull ache or sharp pain in your lower back, side or groin area. Maybe you’ve gone to the bathroom and were shocked, even scared to see blood in your urine, especially when you’re in so much pain. What’s wrong? These are all common symptoms and signs of kidney stones, also known as renal stone disease. The US National Institute of Health estimates that 1 in 10 people develop kidney stones at some point in their life. Researchers at the USNIH have found that those who live near large bodies of water (the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico, etc.) are more likely to develop kidney stones, as well as those who live in “soft” water areas (where water contains low levels of calcium, magnesium and other minerals). Also, people who come from a family with a history of renal stone disease are more likely to develop stones because certain genetic conditions that promote stone development can be inherited from parents.	Nail fungus is an unsightly and potentially painful problem. Most people don' t realize that nail infections are extremely common and not at all a symptom of dirtiness or poor hygiene. In fact, most people contract a nail fungus from swimming pools, showers, locker rooms, salons, or simply by wearing closed-in footwear. The fungus can invade your skin through the smallest cut or through the tiny separation between your nail and nail bed. Most products on the market today only treat the symptoms, but when you are only treating the symptoms you're simply making the condition liveable. If you really want to rid yourself of nail fungus, you have to get to the source of the problem; you have to kill the nail fungus so it will not return. When nail fungus begins to spread and goes deeper into the nail you will notice that your nails are: Thick Brittle Discolored Nails will lose their lustre and shine Nails will begin to crumble Nails will become ragged Nails will form distorted shapes Your nail can eventually fall off	Pronounced ah-stee-oh-arth-rite-iss Osteoarthritis occurs when the surface layer of cartilage-the protective tissue between bones at joints-breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. This pain and swelling is called inflammation. Over time the cartilage may wear away entirely, and the bones will rub together. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint but usually affects hips, knees, hands and spine. What are the warning signs of osteoarthritis? Pain, stiffness and swelling around a joint that lasts longer than two weeks. The joints that are usually affected are the hips, knees, feet and spine. Finger and thumb joints might also be affected. Osteoarthritis affects 12.1 percent of U.S. adults. Most people develop osteoarthritis after the age of 45, but it can occur at any age.

If you are suffering from shingles right now you probably feel ill, weak, depressed, and self-conscious. You're not alone - shingles is a very common virus that effects close to 1 million Americans every year. Living with the pain and embarrassment of shingles can be very difficult. Right now the shingles virus is attacking your nervous system and causing excruciating pain, not to mention the sore, tingling blisters that are making it hard to work, sleep, sit, or even function due to the pain. Now there is a way to stop shingles in its tracks. You no longer have to suffer through the pain or be self-conscious about your blisters. Although Herpes Zoster is not typically life-threatening, it is not an easy condition to deal with. Shingles affects the nerve endings in the skin and starts as an itchy rash that causes tingling or numbness on your skin then elevates to blisters. Shingles typically occurs on the skin of the stomach under the ribs leading toward the navel, and usually stays on one side of your body, but shingles can appear anywhere on the body. Shingles usually only lasts around 1 - 2 months, but the pain can remain for years after the shingles blisters have dried up and fallen off. You do not have to continue to suffer. You can do what 87,000 other shingles sufferers have done - take care of your shingles and the pain they cause, and get back to your normal life.	Genetic, environmental, psychological, and other factors all play a part in obesity. Genetic factors Obesity tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic link, but families also share diet and lifestyle habits that could contribute to obesity. Environmental factors This includes lifestyle behavior such as what a person eats and their level of physical activity. Psychological factors Many people eat in response to negative emotions such as sadness, boredom or anger. Even when on diets, some people will binge eat. Other causes of obesity Some illnesses can lead to obesity or weight gain. These include hypothyroidism, depression, Cushing's syndrome and certain neurological problems. Some drugs such as steroids and some antidepressants may also cause weight gain. Diet A balanced low fat diet is high in healthy carbohydrates, low in fat and moderate in protein.
