Patient discussion about humane.

Q. What are the chances of pregnancy even when a man uses a condom? i'm not sexually active, just sexually curious if you will. is there a statistic any where? what are the chances of pregnancy even if a man uses a condom, and what factors affect those chances? thanks.

A. Condoms are 93-97% effective when used properly. So your chances are 3-7%. If the condom breaks, has a hole, or comes off, obviously your chances increase, but none of those senarios are built into the 3-7%.

Q. I think I have got involved with a man who had a bipolar, he never mentioned it I need to talk to somebody,pls The problem is he would never even admit it if I ever ask him. He's nice and caring and the next day he would disapearing without any reason, after a few weeks he would come back again even without saying sorry and repeats over and over again.... I need to talk to somebody... Thank you

A. Have you thought of writing to him about how you feel? I find sometimes writing out my feelings helps me and also ensures you get out all that you want to say without interuption. When you are in his presance how does he behave? Any sign of bipolar syptoms? Is he easily agitated, lots of energy or problems sleeping or any signs of depression?
Also does he have people living close to him? Any children, friends etc that you may be able to talk to about your concerns? They may be able to shed some light on this situation for you.

Q. I am using male enhancing drugs. I was told it can be dangerous can someone elaborate this for me? To get an ereaction and to enjoy from a full sex life I am using male enhancing drugs. I was told it can be dangerous with the drugs I take for my heart problems. Is it true?

A. The male enhancing drugs can cause your heart to get less oxygen. If you take drugs that already makes your heart to work on a low oxygen metabolism it can cause a serious problem. If you suffer from chest pain and you take drugs from the nitrite family taking male enhancement drugs can be fatal for you.
I'll tell you my doctor always told me: "Before you take any new drug come to and I'll see it OK"
Don't play wth your health go see a GP
