User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This type of sharp, stabbing pain that shoots up through the uterus during menstruation is typically referred to as "dysmenorrhea," which is another term for painful periods. This type of pain is common and can sometimes be caused by the contraction of the uterus as it sheds its lining during menstruation. If the pain is severe and significantly impacts daily life, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible treatment options.

How do you get rid of gas pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Okay, I've had lots of trouble with gas before. Dont take gas pain reliever, it never works. What you do is get on your hands and knees, then proceed by lowering your head to the ground and rest your cheek against the floor. Then stick your butt high in the air. Relax a little bit and wait a couple minutes, then start to push. It might take alittle patience depending on the gas amount in there, for example the more there is the faster it will take to start coming out. This will work every time, because gas rises upward, and it will come out in large amounts. This has saved me from lots of suffering. So dont let that pesky gas make you miserable. You'll surely feel better with my method, so go ahead and give it a try :)

Do animals feel pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Animals typically have a central nervous system, much like humans.

The pain that they experience is unique to each animal, however some animals can feel pain in a way that is more extreme than the human experience, and others might experience the same amount of trauma in a different, more subtle way.

-If an elephant is hit on it's rear with a human hand, it will feel pain in a lesser way as compared to if a child is hit on it's rear, or a kitten is hit on it's rear.

However, some animals lack a central nervous system, such as oysters and sponges. If there is no central nervous system, there is most likely no capacity for pain. Animals with no nervous system whatsoever can't even feel anything.
It depends on what you mean by the term "hurt".

Yes, animals have emotions and can get hurt physically and emotionally.

For example, if you hit an animal, like a dog or cat with an object they react to the action cause it may hurt of does hurt. in addition the animal you are hitting may become angry or may fear you (which shows a sign of emotion).

Never, ever, EVER give 'human' medicine to animals without consulting a qualified vet ! You have no way of determining what is a 'safe' dose or whether the animal in question would suffer any side effects.

What causes a high metabolism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's not healthy to alter your natural body function but there are ways I know of just from being a health freak and weight trainer.

I know that if you don't eat a lot of meals per day your body naturally slows it's metabolism down by needing to retain it's scarce amount of energy you're giving it. It takes a while though. also, refrain from atheltic activities. i have no idea why you want to do that, if its because you cant gain weight easily then don't because i have a high metabolism and im on a bulking phase, I increase my daily caloric, protein and carbohydrate intake and cut my fat intake. along with weight training, and i manage to gain weight, at night i drink a protein shake with 300 carbs, 57 grams of protein and 1000 calories to help

Can you trim a rooster's spurs without causing him pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Trimming a Rooster's Spurs
  • Yes you most certainly can! Be sure not to cut them too short and cause bleeding. If you aren't sure, a vet should be able to show you how to do it. Before you start, it is very important to make sure you are holding him tightly enough so that he won't move when you're cutting it. I find that using dog toenail clippers works well. Just cut it short enough that he can walk and so that it isn't growing into his leg.

Another view

When they are young, use a soldering iron to cauterize the new spur growth.

Another view:

  • If they start to bleed, you can put some flour in it, but some believe this is not a good method to use.

Another view

  • Instead of cutting them, which is dangerous, you can take a pair of pliers, place them at the base of the spur near the leg, and twist until they come off. It removes the outer sheath of the spur leaving a much smaller spur underneath. I do this to my show roosters as it makes them look more "classy" to the judges' eye.

Another view

  • The plier method will make them bleed, but I have never had one scream in pain yet and I've done thousands of roosters like this. Just put some water on the spur and dab some fresh household WHITE SUGAR on it. This will keep the spur clean while helping to clot the blood. The spur shell makes for unique jewelry/pendants too.

Safest

The safest way to trim the spur is to use a Dremel tool with a cut off blade attached. As the cut off blade grinds through the spur, it cauterizes the blood vessel which prevents bleeding. The problem with clotting solutions is the rooster can cause the wound to open by picking or even straining to crow, the wound then causes "bleed out" to occur which means, the rooster would bleed to death. Grinding the spur off with the dremel would not only be the safest, it is also the quickest and least painful.

Is mango bad for uric acid?

Asked by Wiki User

When Uric Acid turns out not to be the problem then it could be blamed on Oxalic Acid. and care must be taken with eating some vegetables,such as spinach for instance, and fruit such as Raspberies, Strawberries, Gooseberries, Rhubarb, Apricots, Persimmons and Peaches. Mango has no Oxalate but in susceptible and particular people will cause Gout.

Can lifting heavy objects cause liver injury?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Weightlifting, like many sports played at a high level, causes specific adaptation of the body and this adaptation enables the athlete's performance to improve. If you undertake endurance training on a regular basis, your endurance improves. If you undertake training in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, your power, strength and athleticism improves. In any sport training, the organs of the body respond to training and improve their functioning. There is no evidence that the liver in Weightlifters is caused damage as a result of proper training. However, there could be damage to the liver if an athlete takes performance enhancing drugs. This is not permitted in sport but unfortunately people do. All drugs taken in excess can damage the liver including paracetemol which millions of people take everyday.

Can a cold draft give you muscle pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely! In fact, I'm suffering from it now. I thought I had a broken rib because the pain was so intense that even taking a deep breath, would cause extreme pain. Even bumps on the road when driving, where causing me to hold my breath to keep down the pain. After 2 days of this pain, I went to see my chiropractor. He did his adjustment, but I got no relief. I was massaged before the adjustment, but it was not done on the sore spot, which is on the right side in the rib area. They massaged my back so that was fruitless. The next day, I was no better. In fact, I felt worst. And that's when it dawned on me, it might have been caused by a draft. My computer is near a window, on the right side of my body. Being a Senior, I'm not as active as I was so the muscles, have become weak and susceptible to drafts. That day, was blustery and cold. Since my windows are drafty, the cold wind attacked the side muscles of my ribs. And then I realized what the real cause was. I'm also Mexican and the cure is SUPER EASY but ONLY if you have a 2nd person to help you! Being single and living alone, I have no help. The pain can be solved by gently patting, the muscles around the rib area with someone's hand. It's the same patting you use when burping a baby to get the gas out of it's tummy. It works wonderfully for drafts in backs. My Mexican mother taught us this when we were small. And when you have a stiff neck from a draft, take a towel and warm it up in the microwave then gently roll the towel from side to side on the neck. Don't give yourself a friction burn. Gently rub the towel back and forth while gently moving your head to ease the pain. After a couple of session, you notice relief right away.

What is the cause of shooting pain behind right ear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You have sinuses all over your head and behind the ears, jaw line, temple area are your main areas of feeling pains of twitches, shallow aches, or sporadic pain. These areas are very small sinuses and it is hard for these areas to drain unlike the nose. The pain could be sinus related - even if you have never suffered sinuses we all have them in some degree - Your body changes every seven years and for some people they get new symptoms that they have never experienced and lose others. The sinuses behind the ear/back of neck are so small that for them to drain it would be like taking a straw and filling the straw with water then putting your finger on it to stop it from dripping. It would take a long time for the straw to discharge all the water. This is exactly what your sinuses are going through. If you are still worried then see a doctor, but you may want to try sinus medication or sinus headache relief medicine first.

Can a toothache cause a heart attack?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Si porque las enfermedades dentales estan relacionadas con enfermedades cardiovasculares tales como: bacterias y virus que pueden encontrarse en un diente dañado. Investigadores de la universidad de Virginia, descifraron el genoma de bacterias normalmente presente en la boca humana sana que puede causar una infección cardiaca mortal si penetra en el torrente sanguíneo. El estreptococo sanguinis, un tipo de bacteria que esta presente en la boca naturalmente, se encuentra entre una variedad de microorganismos responsables de la formación de la placa dental. Sin embargo, si entra al torrente sanguíneo, a través de un pequeño corte o herida de la boca, puede causar una endocarditis bacteriana, una infección grave o incluso la muerte.
Las personas con problemas cardíacos preexistentes ( hipertensión, diabetes mellitus, insuficiencia cardiaca, aterosclerosis) se encuentran en mayor riesgo de desarrollar endocarditis bacteriana, ataques cardiacos y accidentes cerebrovasculares. Antes de la cirugía dental estos pacientes reciben altas dosis de antibióticos para prevenir la infección.
Un dolor de muela agudo puede con llevar no necesariamente por la liberación de catecolaminas(dopamina,noradrenalina,epinefrina), por la ansiedad del dolor y los factores predisponentes mencionados arriba a un ataque al corazón (Infarto agudo al miocardio).
según estudios realizados en Suecia y Uruguay, un dolor de muelas o dolor en la mandíbula puede ser sólo una señal de un ataque al corazón. Sin embargo, los síntomas se pasan por alto muy a menudo. El estudio demostró que las mujeres que sufren de ataque al corazón o angina de pecho pueden sufrir de dolor de dientes o la mandíbula sin ningún tipo de dolor en el pecho. Estos estudios realizados en Suecia y Uruguay, junto con varios cadiólogos y dentistas, sugirió que el dolor facial fue el síntoma más común. El dolor era también igual en ambos lados de la cara y aumenta cuando el paciente hizo algún tipo de esfuerzo físico.
