  What is a Best Medicine for Arthritis Pain? Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease, the cause of which seems to be traced to an alteration of the immune system, generally designated for the body's defence, which triggers an abnormal response and develops an inflammatory reaction.

  The Low Testosterone Nightmare Fatigue and Erection Problems Although testosterone is a hormone that is present in both men and women, the truth is that this hormone is the one that defines the most typically masculine characteristics such as body and facial hair, the severity of the voice, the muscles, or sexual function.

The Difference Between Heart Attack Symptoms in Men and Women In cases of heart attacks, men and women cannot have the same symptoms. Women typically experience pain or pressure in the shoulders, arms, jaw, and upper back, as well as stomach pain, dizziness, and nausea accompanied by paleness and palpitations. While in men these symptoms are mostly reduced to chest pain accompanied by cold sweat and anxiety, presenting difficulties in breathing.

How do Haemorrhoids Creams Work? Before talking about the remedies, let's start by knowing what we want to remedy. Many people think that haemorrhoids are some kind of aliens that arise from the dark side. Something like a mushroom that sprouts in the shade. Nothing of that. Actually, haemorrhoids occur from a widening of the veins in the anus (external haemorrhoids, which are the ones that can be touched), or in the rectum (internal haemorrhoids, which are the invisible ones). When internal haemorrhoids grow beyond their means, they can end up sticking their heads out to say hello. Well, haemorrhoids come out mainly because a lot of pressure is exerted on the veins of the anus and rectum. Between us, because it is too tight, which is very common when there is constipation. The rubbing does not make the affection, at least in faecal matter, and the continuous friction ends up producing inflammation.

  Am I Allergic to Alcohol It is common for us to hear about allergies to dust, chocolate or shellfish, but to alcohol? Yes, we tell you that you yourself may be allergic and have mistaken a simple redness for an allergy that requires treatment. Redness If your face and neck turn red and shiny, you should be concerned. If this happens to you every time you drink alcohol, it means that your body is not prepared to process it, since you metabolize acetaldehyde, but you lack the ALDH2 enzyme, which is what transforms the most toxic acetaldehydes into harmless substances to be expelled from the system. How do I know when I am intolerant to alcohol or when I am allergic? The difference lies in the dizziness and the discomfort in the body. If you only blush when you consume alcohol, but feel no physical discomfort, it means that you are just intolerant. Urticaria If spots or hives appear on your skin when consuming alcohol, it means that you are facing anaphylaxis, a serious allergi...
