What does it mean if your stomach hurts after you take your birth control?
Abdominal pain is often a side effect of birth control pills. You can eat something before taking the pill and see if that helps. If not, and the abdominal pain continues, you can talk to your doctor about trying a different kind of birth control and see if that eliminates your discomfort.
Tighten loose stomach skin and stretch marks?
Loose skin around the belly following weight loss is a combination of both inner fat layers under the skin and extra skin. The amount of each is a function of how much fat you've lost coupled with your age and the duration within which the fat was lost. If majority of the looseness is due to skin, then an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is your only solution. Now, I hate hearing that man invented surgery should be an option for another natural reduction in weight. Remember one simple fact, no number of crunches/situps/ab roller/ab lounge/abs in a minute tool/exercise will get you those rock hard Mathew McConnahey abs. You, nor any human, can spot reduce. But, the way is to build up muscle and boost your metabolic rate, so you're burning more calories. Couple that with intense cardio, monitored respective to your overall physique, to maximize the number of calories from fat burned.It just takes time. Remember, you didnt' lose your tight tummy in a day, and on the flip side, you're not going to gain it back in a day.

Why does underneath your belly button hurt?
In a normal or healthy woman it shouldn't hurt your vagina when you poke your belly button, not unless you poke it too hard.

But if it is, perhaps you have an infection in your lower abdomen or your vagina that needs to be looked at.

Is aspirin absorbed in the stomach or intestines?
Aspirin is absorbed both in the stomach and the small intestine , for the former the cause lies beyond the fact that the gastric PH (1.5-2.5) is lower than the pka of aspirin (3.5) such that the ionization of aspirin is so much limited and the unionized and subsequently the lipophilicity of aspirin increases so that it's easily absorbed into the gastric mucosal cells.
for the latter , aspirin absorption is due to the large absorptive surface area of the small intestine despite the fact that the intestinal PH is higher than the pka of aspirin , but still the surface area help absorption of the unionized fraction of aspirin.
Why are stomach tablets called antacids?

What can you eat to make your stomach small and your but big?
- For a smaller stomach you need to do cardio exercise. Cardio is the best fat burning exercise. A healthy diet is essential, too. Make good use of 'fat burning' foods and quality protein. In addition, colon cleansing can help. Eliminate all junk food and refined (processed) carbohydrates. Allow yourself treats just once per week. Doing yoga (for breathing techniques) while doing cardio exercise can also help.
- To get a better butt do weight training. Eat small amounts of good carbs such as low carbohydrate berries and non-starchy vegetables before working out. Make good use of fat burning foods such as quality protein. Increase your daily water intake by at least three glasses. When working out always increase your resistance and reps at least once a week and change your exercises every few days.
- Contrary to popular belief, crunches alone will not help you get a flatter stomach. All this will do is build muscle UNDERNEATH the layer of fat that already exists. To get rid of this layer of fat, you must first change your eating habits (more veggies and less refined carbohydrates and fatty foods. Do cardio exercise, such as brisk walking, for 20-30 minutes 3-5 times a week. Only do abs exercise after you have lost the fat.
- You need to burn off calories through cardio exercise. Change you eating habits. Eat less saturated fat and use beneficial fats. Let go of the junk foods and refined (processed) carbohydrates. Refined (processed ) carbohydrates are the major cause of fat accumulating around the abdomen.
- Exercises that you can try: Squats. Those really do work. When you go down, squeeze your butt so it firms it. Look straight ahead and squeeze your bum while bending your knees. Try using heavy weights that allow you to do only 6-15 reps of squats. Ball squats. This is an alternative to traditional squats. Place an exercise ball against a wall so you can rest the middle part of your back on it. Hold weights in each hand and lower your body down, legs hip wide apart. Lunges. (However, some suggest squats rather than lunges, saying that lunges may flatten and tighten your butt, while squats will make it rounder and firmer.) Walking lunges. Kickbacks or "donkey kicks". This is where you kick your leg back while on all fours. Do 12 repetitions with 2 sets, three times a week. Standing kickbacks with weight. Side and back kick outs. Stairs. Try running up and down stairs holding in your stomach Walk uphill on your toes (this also builds your calves). Jog on a treadmill with a hill incline. Running bleachers. Leg curls. Weight training (by target training), remembering that you have to tightly squeeze the butt in order to target that area. The buttblaster at the gym.
- Cardio exercise if the best for fat burning and stomach fat.
- Old school crunches (with legs to work the lower tummy too) and to make your butt bigger and tighter try lunges and donkey kicks.
- Swimming, especially legs-only (kick) with a flutterboard will definitely work your butt. Check out the butts on Olympic swimmers.
- To build a bigger butt, you might need to include squats and sprints to your list of exercises.
- If you can afford it, get a personal trainer and tell him or her exactly what you want to achieve. Do not just ask the person at the gym unless he or she is professionally qualified. If you plan it yourself, you may want to try the following books: The Woman's Body Bible (Adrianna Bocanegra). Women's Strength Training Anatomy (Frederic Delavier). Fit for your shape (Matt Roberts). The body sculpting bible for women (James Villepigue).
- Do not overdue it, more than 45 minutes exercise continuously can be negative, producing excess cortisol, a hormone with great importance in how we assimilate fats. Do not train every day, the muscle only develops with alternate periods of exercise-rest. Weight training sculpts you, Pilates gives position, dance (best are Latin dances) helps to burn calories and work the curves. Skating, principally ice-skating, can also help.

How does stomach lining not get broken down by acids?
This is because of the mucous that lines the stomach walls. Also, when you vomit, sometimes you get a burn in your abdomen, this is because you spewed up that mucous and your stomach lining is reacting with the acid inside it. But, there is no need to worry, for the acid doesn't have enough time to harm your stomach before more mucous replaces the old~ ^^
If you did not have mucus would your stomach digest itself?
Sort of. The mucus lining in your stomach prevents the acids that digest food from eating away the walls of your stomach. Once you have a hole in your stomach, the acids would then leak out and start eating away at your internal organs. An ulcer is an indication this is starting to happen.

Yes, stomach acid can burn. Gastric acid contains hydrochloric acid, which is a very strong acid. However, the lining of the stomach is protected by a layer of mucus, which prevents the acid from burning the stomach. However, a weakness in the mucus layer or excessive production of stomach acid can result in an ulcer.
Excessive vomiting can damage the esophagus due to the burning effects of stomach acid. In addition, excessive vomiting can also damage the teeth for the same reason.
However, it's not easy to get burned by your own stomach acid. You won't hurt yourself if you accidentally get vomit on your skin, for example. However, heavy vomiting and frequent heartburn can cause damage to your esophagus, and ulcers can develop and become very painful. You should eat a proper diet, and always consult a doctor if you have frequent heartburn or other pain symptoms in your stomach or lower chest.
