Is listen's a correct word?

The verb is spelled listens (no apostrophe). Listen's could in theory be a contraction, but would be unusual. "He listens to the birds singing" is an example of the verb (3rd person singular present tense).The spelling listen's would mean listen is, referentially or colloquially using "listen" as a noun."Listen's a verb that means hearing sounds.""Snoring has many causes, but a quick listen's all a doctor may need to diagnose it."Listen's could also be a contraction of - listen has. egListen's got a silent 't'. -- Listen has got a silent 't'.

What would a a doctor use to listen to sound in the body?

Doctors use stethoscopes to listen to sounds in the human body.The stethoscope (from greek-languageστηθοσκόπιο, of στήθος, stéthos - chest and σκοπή, skopé - examination) is an acoustic medicine-1device for auscultation, or listening to the internal sounds of an animal body. It is often used to listen to lung and heart-sounds. It is also used to listen to intestineand blood flow in arteryand vein. In combination with a sphygmomanometer, it is commonly used for measurements of blood-pressure. Less commonly, "mechanic's stethoscopes" are used to listen to internal sounds made by machines, such as diagnosing a malfunctioning automobile engine by listening to the sounds of its internal parts. Stethoscopes can also be used to check scientific vacuum chambers for leaks, and for various other small-scale acoustic monitoring tasks.Read more: stethoscope

Can bowel problems have anything to do with pins and needles in back of left thigh?

Possibly. Sometimes, bowel conditions can be linked to problems with the legs if there is a spinal issue. A problem with the spine can cause pressure on the organs such as bowel and bladder. And an accompanying leg issue would have me question whether an MRI scan would be needed to rule in/out spinal problems. Speak to your doctor


Why does a person constantly have constipation sticky bowels then a stool that is a big flat mushroom looking one?

It sounds like you need a colonoscopy so a doctor can visualize the bowels. Any restricted portion of the intestines can cause feces to "flatten" as it passes through that portion. it would be in the large intestines, most likely, because the feces has already become formed (not watery). As to possible causes for this, they are too many to list-- like a kink in the bowel, a small bowel blockage, something in the abdomen pressing on the bowel from outside it, etc.
