confused about prolapse.
I went to see the doctor a couple of weeks ago about my urgency and not being able to hold it very long and then not being able to completely evacuate and also I had a bulge in my vagina. He says I have a mild prolapse so I asked if this is connected to my bowel problems but he says not. He gave me the

a stricture for life?
I’ve recently had a terrible time following what should have been prep for a colonoscopy and turned into needing emergency care in Hospital. Drinking the purgative laxative as directed lead to excruciating pain and took me to A&E. A scan showed what surgeons said was a thickening of colon and rest of

The steroid with zytiga can be a deal
My Dads new oncologist switched his steroid from prednisolone to dexamethasone - she was distressed at first appointment to see he was on zytiga and prednisolone. She said research pretty clear that dexamethasone is better. On today's PSA results she is clearly correct. We thought that he had become

Malecare newsletter reports Finish study glucocorticoids (e.g. prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone) can lead to castrate resistance

Have you tried this or have you assumed it won't work?
Probably my last post because I solved my RLS problem. It's gone, and no drugs. I've posted this as a c omment in response to several individual posts but get pretty much "how nice for you" responses and then they go on talking about drugs. So one last time. If you are unwilling to try this and instead

The day all treatment ended and I was released to begin life without the benefit of seeing my radiation oncologist or the infusion nurse on a weekly basis was a scary day. The idea that it would be three months before I saw anyone again left me overwhelmed. Finding web boards like these and in person

Probiotics
Hi lovely people, Do you recommend taking probiotics and if so which brands? Doing research it seems the best would be ones containing Lactobacillus gasseri, is that correct? I'm currently taking daily supplements of folic acid, vitamin D, iron and Co-enzyme Q10. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Liver disease, mast cells and antihistamine
I’ve just seen a post on X about mast cells and Covid-19 which mentioned a link with autoimmune diseases of the gut and the use of antihistamines as a treatment.. I wondered if anything was known about autoimmune liver diseases, mast cells and antihistamines. I found this 2017 research paper https://
