The Part Of Your Body You Should NEVER Shave | RTC

I've seen the comments section you guys have a lot of medical questions and I pulled together and I'm going to answer some of the most juicy ones right now huge thank you to ship station for sponsoring this video Daniel Von Diego is it dangerous to sleep next to a Wi-Fi router do we have evidence that it's dangerous no do I recommend it no move it away find a different place for it don't keep it next to your brain and also keep your cell phone away from your brain and keep your cell phone out of Arms Reach so you don't reach for in the middle of the night if you can't sleep cuz that's the Surefire way to disturb your sleep what advice do you have for the partners of people who work in medicine given the long hours and workload it could be difficult to stay connected it's very difficult do you know how many relationships end when someone goes to medical school tons but also do you know how many relationships form cuz you realize that like sometimes attracts like humans are magnets is it okay to lick a pen medically I wouldn't advise is it okay ethically morally I mean I think it's fine don't lick the part of the pen that releases ink that's not edible the way that I think about pens is the same way that I think about our fingers our fingers are disgusting they have a lot of bacteria on them like if you touch your phone you're essentially touching other people's poop there's poop on everything these days keyboards phones water bottles it's all over the place it's just floating around and because of that it's probably on your pen too and if you're going to put your pen in your mouth you're putting poop in your mouth so is it okay to lick poop no then not okay to lick your pen that's how I'm stating my answer answer is drinking my own blood bad for me I promise I don't do it on purpose but it happens a lot it is a problem drinking blood is a GI disturber whatever it's not good for your GI system in some people it can cause tremendous constipation because what do blood have in it iron in others it can cause inflammation and irritation of your GI tract leading to diarrhea how do we know this in those who have frequent nose bleeds and then do this start swallowing a lot of blood it can lead to nausea vomiting Andor constipation diarrhea if it stays there long enough is it bad to hold and poop you have an anal sphincter for a reason it's so that you don't just poop while you're sitting there if you lose control of your poop it's called feal incontinence and that can happen as a result of all sorts of medical problems a common one that we talk about or learn about in boards is something called C aquina syndrome the lower end of your spinal cord actually starts getting compressed and it creates such compression that you develop incontinence or decrease sensation in the saddle area uh of your body but holding in your poop is a normal thing for a human so just be reasonable with it don't overdo it because you can actually hold in your poop so long that you start developing nausea and vomiting because you're actually creating a backup in the system so don't do that is it bad to stay up all night several nights a week it is absolutely bad in fact I'm going to go on record and say the uptick in neurological conditions like Alzheimer's dementia Etc I believe is happening due to the fact that we no longer respect sleep we pride ourselves on sleeping less and working more we value hustle culture we stay up late because of social media and anxiety and mental health struggles and as a result we're creating brain problems

able to play any VR game for countless hours without getting sick but the moment I start driving a car I get motion sickness in a VR people get motion sick because there's a disconnect from what their vision is seeing versus what their semicircular canals and their ears are experiencing so that's sort of Disconnect can create nausea in some people that you can get used to in an automobile because you're constantly starting starting and stopping you're having the opposite disconnect where your semicircular canals are experiencing a lot of activation a lot of stimulus but your vision might be looking at it a still object so that's a different disconnect from on opposite ends of the spectrum and you can have worse motion sickness on one end but not the other every time I wake up much earlier than normal like to catch a flight I get really bad indigestion is this just coincidence or is something going on there's something going on the central nervous system of our bodies works on two different systems one is the rest repair digest nervous system that happen Happ s and gets activated when we sleep when we chill when we meditate and then the flight or flight response system which is like what happens if we see a thread when we're sleeping we're in rest digest if you don't get enough sleep you don't repair you don't digest well so when you wake up early your body has to go into fight ORF flight mode it has to kick in your adrenaline in order to keep you awake and and allow you to function normally and also many people to combat waking up early drink a ton of caffeine which stimulates acid secretion from your stomach which can create gastrosoph agal reflux which is like traditional heartburn what's the difference between an allergy and an intolerance such an important question here because so many people say they're allergic to things when they're really not and then it creates other problems so many of my patients say that they have a penicillin allergy when they actually don't and as a result they lose a set of antibiotics they're actually quite effective and have a low risk of side effects an allergy is a histamine driven response where you actually get itchiness hives and you start scratching your skin there's eosinophils present you could also have an allergic response through Anil axis where your throat starts closing up you have swelling because histamines start allowing uh the swelling of tissues by making blood vessels more porous then you get cyto kindes and all these inflammatory cells come and it becomes a big problem because it closes off your Airway and intolerance is when something just doesn't sit right with you it causes some other malfunction in your body for example if you're lactose intolerant it's not an allergy because you don't get a rash you don't get anaphylaxis but you do have diarrhea so it's an intolerance but not an allergy why is my pubic hair so curly okay Max did not expect that one pubic hair is a type of hair called terminal hair it starts as velous hair on our bodies when we're babies velis hair is the type of peach fuzz hair that we actually still have on our bodies and in certain areas due to puberty we start developing terminal hair changes and it becomes deeper it becomes more coarse becomes more curly in fact pubic hair really doesn't grow longer than like 6 in because of how often it sheds and breaks down also really interesting about pubic hair never thought I would say that but I think the reason that it's cly is because back in the day cavemen days cave women days we had a bush and that bush helped us have better locking in of our phermones that smell it was actually an aphrodesiac at this time when we all walked around without clothing it was a an advantage for those who had curlier pubes to survive also pubes are great um protection from friction what are smelling salts made of how do they work you sniff them and the the nasal recept s get so irritated by them it sends a shock response to your brain and it wakes you up is there a way to minimize the appearance of scars there are are things you can do about scars mostly and where I see the best results from through lasers and through surgical approaches there's very little thing you can do topically in terms of like putting a cream on it there are some creams that do some benefit in terms of smoothing the scar but removing the scar can only really be done surgically or with a laser which is basically a type of surgery in my opinion my friend Dr Bali does a great job of this on his Instagram Channel dark highness 6666 I am a woman and I sneeze too loud it's embarrassing what can I do to not sneeze so loudly sneeze loudly just dab when you do it don't let anyone judge you the fact that you're worried about this is worth investigating with your doctor because you should not feel ashamed by carrying out a normal human body act in front of others everyone sneezes and it's okay to sneeze and if you sneeze loudly who cares are there parts of my body I shouldn't Shake that's actually a good question because you know we shave our faces uh some people shave their armpits benign but actually can create friction especially if you do a lot of running the problem with shaving your Pub I feel like we're covering a lot of pubic stuff in this video the problem with shaving your pubic region is there has been some research showing that there are increased STI rates when you do shave because more skin on- skin contact so more chance to spread uh STI also when you shave you can create micro tears leading to openings in the skin which can allow body fluids and blood to get in to thereby creating another infection maybe skipping out shaving the pubes is not a bad idea when you need a knee or hip replacement how do doctors know the right size that's a good question for an orthopedic surgeon I'm pretty sure there's a measurement they do uh prior to um inserting the instrument a look at the X-ray and they'll get a general sense but then they probably trial different sizes like in the operating room and they see orthopedic surgeons please chime in hey Doc what do surgeons do with two once they've been removed generally we send them to pathology for analysis through microscopy to see a what kind of tumor they are how differentiated they are what cells are present in some cases like with uh skin cancers we do a cut out and sometimes we look right then and there to make sure that we cut out the entire margin of the tumor to make sure that we didn't leave any cancer cells behind why do humans randomly get itchy I understand why you itch from hairs or bugs being on you but so often I itch when there's nothing touching me what gives okay Teresa this is very important because if you're itchy like that to that degree perhaps there's a medical condition going on perhaps allergic perhaps otherwise but we would need to investigate that further there's many reasons why humans get itchy itchiness can come from something physically bothering your skin or a chemical reaction bothering your skin both can cause itchiness and there's also like the nerve thing like nerves misfire and can make it feel like an itching sensation is present when it's not really there I'm thinking about becoming a nurse but I have a serious fear of needles do you think it's worth pursuing or should I look into something else that is something that you can overcome there are legitimate Medical Treatments and therapies targeted at those who have phobias of any kind needles are one that you can definitely overcome so if that's the sole thing that's preventing you from having an amazing long career that is much needed do not let it stop you from having a very productive rewarding job because of a phobia that you can overcome is it dangerous to hold in a sneeze click here to find out and also don't miss out on your 60-day free trial to shipstation by
