What does it mean when a mole falls off?
While in the shower I was scrubbing my back with a loofa and my mole fell off. I managed to pick it up before it went down the drain. It never really bothered me or was sore or anything but what now? Will another one grow back in its place? Should I be worried?
Answer:
It means that you don't need to worry about having it removed, if you were inclined to do so.Really its not a problem. If the area around where it used to be stays discolored or is painful, then I'd suggest having it checked out. Otherwise, you'll be fine.
That can happen if you've been fasting (and that's a good thing). I wouldn't worry if it's not continuing to bleed.
It means that it was really a tick.

What does it mean when a medication tells you to apply cream to "dampened skin?"?
I know what damp means, but uhh.I'm kinda lost.
Answer:
Take a washcloth and wet it a little. Then moisten the area of skin to apply the medication to with the washcloth. It helps to clean the area and opens the pores to allow the cream to soak in. Make sure you use warm water, not scalding hot and not frigid cold. Good luck
get a wet wash cloth rub ur skin with it before u put the medicine on

What does it mean when a dr says that your red blood cells r high ?
This is for my sister as shes 3 mths pregnant and been told this by her gp,she has an appt with the gp Monday.
Answer:
The medical term for this is polycythaemia. There are lots of causes for this, some of them are not important, but some of them can be very serious.I would imagine your sister had a routine blood test for her pregnancy and it was picked up then. Her GP will have arranged to see her to take a history and examine her to exclude any serious cause.
is it high blood pressure
I think this is when you have an infection such as urine or kidney affection etc.
If your RBC's are high it could be an indication of dehydration. For some people it's normal to be on the high end, even slightly over normal. If they are really high then something else could be going on, but it's unlikely.
It means that she has high levels of iron. It can happen in women that are pregnant. Dont panic it isnt dangerous. There woukd only be a problem if her white blood cells began to attack her excessive red blood cells but that is very unusual and probably wont happen. Dont worry about it.
IT'S NOT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE !
OR HE'D SAY IT HER BONE MARROW IS JUST OVERPRODUCING IT . SOME ATHLETES TAKE STUFF TO GET MORE RED BLOOD CELLS TO HAVE MORE ENDURANCE . YOU DON'T HAVE TO BREATHE AS MUCH . IT'S LIKE STEROIDS FOR RUNNERS OR CYCLISTS .I THINK SHE'S OKAY
unless it's way overboard
BUT I STILL THINK THAT SHE'S OKAY
Higher red cells usally indicate something is requiring the body to carry more oxygen. Mine was higher with sleep apnea. Just keep your regular checks with the doctor and he should stay on top of things.
When your RBC are high, generally you are not drinking enough water...sometimes it is just a normal variant..I would not worry about it....they have caught it very early and will monitor to make sure there are no further problems.TAKE CARE and tell her CONGRADS..
GOOD LUCK ON BEING AN AUNT..
Did they say if the blood cells were mature or immature cells?
She needs to see a hemotologist for advice or diagnosis.
It is known as Polycythemia, It can be physiological or pathological.In your sister case it's physiological,due to compensatory mechanism as now there are two bodies to feed, during pregnancy.The one who mentioned about dehydration is also correct as due to haem Concentration, as there is rise of CBC/electrolytes counts etc. is a patho/physiological phenomena.Hope now every thing is clear.Hope

What does it mean when a doctor asks for a second opinion on a diagnosis?
for a prothratic tumor
Answer:
A prostate tumor? Prostate enlargement can be benign (as in Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy) or can be caused by cancer. The doctor may not feel he/she is qualified to diagnose the condition (i.e., a general practitioner may refer you to a urologist). Usually a TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is done and a biopsy will determine if the enlargement is benign and, if there is a tumor, if it is cancerous. Bottom line? The doctor may not be qualified to diagnose a condition beyond his/her specialty and is wisely referring you to someone he/she feels can help.
wants to confirm his diagnosis on a fairly rarely seen occurrance. He doesnt want to dork it up.
That the problem is too complex to resolve it by himself and needs to be managed by another specialty for some issues caused by the tumor itself. An urologist can describe the state the tumor has and help with some bothers due to it, a surgeon can operate it, an oncologist can design a chemotherapy if it is necessary or if radiotherapy is chosen, a radiologist would administer it.
sometimes they suggest the patient get a 2nd opinion to make sure the diagnosis is correct, or sometimes the patient wants a 2nd opinion if it's something life-threatening or an expensive procedure needs to be done to correct the problem.
This is a good thing. Well, sort of. It is good that your doc realizes he may not be sure and he needs help. This doesnt mean he is a bad doc or doesnt know what he is doing. He just wants to make sure he has it right and is doing the best thing for you. I would rather my doc ask the opinion of another doc any day than guessing and making a mistake
hes saying "I don't know everything' 2nd opinion good call
Most probably it means that the testing/imaging for diagnosis isn't 100% conclusive. The doctor is looking for "another set of eyes" that is trained and experienced to read these results. It may also be that this particular doctor is seeking the advice of someone more specialized in the specific condition.If it were me, I would consider it a positive thing, indicating that my doctor is concerned about my health and going "the extra mile" to make sure the diagnosis is correct, without making a flippant or cavalier diagnosis.

What does it mean to have blood in the stool???
Answer:
it could mean a number of important medical conditions that need medical attention asap.
It means you need to see your doc ASAP. It could be something simply like hemorrhoids or it could be cancer, polyps, fissures or diverticulosis but since blood in the stool is a major colon cancer sign you have to see your doc.
If you noticed bright red blood in your stool, it could be something as simple as a hemorrhoid. If the blood was on your toilet tissue as well, and it was just a dot, it was most likely this. If the blood is darker and in the stool, it could indicate that you have a bleed somewhere in your digestive tract. Either way, I would see a doctor to get a dianosis. They may have to do something like a barium enema to diagnose you properly, if it isn't an external hemorrhoid. I am a nurse.
What does the blood in your stool look like?
1. Bright red fresh blood. This can be caused by an anal fissure http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/anal-fi... constipation, or by hemorrhoids.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hemorrh... This type of bleeding is usually scanty and limited; a general guideline is that if it continues more than 2 weeks, you may want to see a physician to rule out other causes.
2. Tarry black stools and coffee-ground stool. These are caused by bleeding in various parts of your digestive system. If your stools look like this, you must see a physician immediately; there are very many conditions that may cause this and only a physician can evaluate you for them. Some of these conditions are serious.For a good overview of what might cause rectal bleeding, see http://www.medicinenet.com/rectal_bleedi... Although this article is titled "rectal bleeding", it deals with bleeding within the entire gastrointestinal system.
It can mean any number of things. Beets can cause what looks like blood. Iron supplements and Pepto-Bismol can cause dark stools that look like old, digested blood. Hemorrhoids, tumors, rectal ulcers, anal fissures and more. You can't get a diagnosis on line, my friend. Don't settle for speculation. I suggest you see your doctor for an evaluation to rule out the more serious causes.
it means, you have blood in your poop, bowel movement,or stool. see a doctor
wow, see a doctor.
What does it mean to have a high level of liver enzymes?
Answer:
Liver enyzmes are protein molecules normally contained within liver cells. When something happens to the liver cells to damage or kill them, they will rupture and their contents will spill out into the blood serum. So, an elevated level of liver enzymes is an indicator of ongoing liver damage.The liver is a very important organ and has several functions, one of which is the filtration and detoxification of the blood. If the liver is exposed to some type of toxin/poison or any agent that can destroy liver cells, the liver enyzmes will become elevated.One of the most common causes of elevated liver enzymes, other than viral hepatitis, is alcohol usage. High levels of uric acid would corroborate this diagnosis.However, there are other toxins you could have been exposed to and your doctor should do a thorough evaluation. It's simply not possible for answerers to diagnose you.
either your liver is working too hard or it is under attack. Things that could cause this include alcohol, tylenol, hepatitis c, autoimmune disorders.
statins that people take for cholesterol can also raise your liver enzymes...lipitor, zocor, etc...
I hear that they can be high from exercise.
