If that test were actually enough to label someone with cellulite, then every newborn baby in America would be walking around with cellulite on their little butts 😉

Fat deposits on the hips aren't really a common thing... you might see some buildup above the hips or around the waistline, but on the actual hips? Not so much. Especially since men typically don't have prominent hip structures to begin with.

First off, I have to agree with the colleague above—men don't get cellulite.

If you actually have it, you should probably be looking into your hormone levels.

It’s just fat; it just looks different depending on where the body decides to store it...

But thinking about it now, it's pretty unusual for a man to carry weight around his hips.😕

Not trying to be rude, but how are your other secondary sex characteristics? And how old are you?

It’s almost funny how everyone falls head over heels for her until they realize she’s actually looking back... then suddenly everything gets awkward. 😁 There's absolutely zero payoff when she starts paying attention.

Jack Harris3 said:On top of that, I don't trust doctors.

Neither do I.

But I haven't exactly convinced myself I can handle applying my own ointments, and I definitely don't have a microscope on hand... once I get the hang of things, I'll give you a call over breakfast.😁

Dammit, pregnancy is the least terrifying thing that can happen to a woman if she isn't getting regular checkups. 🙄

From what I gather, Peter Baker57 says she’s living with her partner.

So—she's an adult, and let's assume they're being intimate. In my book, that's plenty of reason to see a gynecologist. You guys disagree?

You all wrote that so beautifully, but it’s interesting how absolutely nobody reacted to what Peter Baker57 mentioned—that she has NEVER even been to a gynecologist.

I have no idea what kind of "rash" you’re referring to regarding your acquaintance's baby, but physiological diaper rash is actually quite common in newborns. It isn't necessarily a reflection of hygiene standards.

I’ve only shared what my own family and I have actually put to the test. I wouldn't dream of recommending anything unverified.

If you're still interested, I can keep going. 🙂

For an overactive cough—use half a capful of eucalyptus oil in the room where you sleep or hang out.

Cabbage leaves around the neck can really help with tonsillitis. Also, try placing cabbage leaves on your chest before bed, layered over a regular undershirt and a wool sweater; it helps loosen up phlegm.

Poultice salve works wonders for vein issues, congestion, and even hemorrhoids.

Potato skin water is a remedy for arthritis.

A dry brush is useful for tightening skin after childbirth and nursing.

Coarse sea salt helps soothe aching legs.

Casey Palmer5 said:Why don't you guys try actually working on your own immunity for once???

👍 Wise words.

And it shouldn't just start now; it needs to be a year-round effort.

Getting vaccinated isn't strictly necessary either. Strengthen your body first, so if you do catch something, at least it passes through you in a milder form.

He probably watered his weeds with a 12% solution 🙄

Is your mom dyeing her hair blue or something?

I find it pretty pointless to tell people to go see a doctor... I mean, obviously they know that...🙄

In short, a tight foreskin can cause significant issues during intercourse. If you're dealing with recurring tears in that area, it’s definitely not nothing to ignore. It’s actually a form of phimosis that can be permanently fixed with a simple procedure... and then life just goes on 😉

This isn't just some unproven theory 😉

You could even go with 3% hydrogen peroxide; it’ll foam right up on the wound site and speed up the healing process.

It's actually what they use on babies for umbilical cord care.

Casey Palmer5 said:I can't even begin to imagine how you guys pulled that off.😁

It’s not actually that strange... he just has a slightly shorter foreskin and basically "overworked" the tissue until it tore.

That kind of thing is notoriously slow to heal, much like those cracks you get in your lips.

If this keeps happening, you're going to have to consider a surgical fix. It isn't a full circumcision, but doctors recommend it when the foreskin is too tight... skin tears in that area are never something to take lightly.

frozenangler9😢 I’m honestly heartbroken.

The state of our hospitals is absolutely unbelievable. I’m not even in Chicago right now, but things in my hometown are even worse.

I just went to check my paperwork—there isn't a single mention of follow-up complications in my discharge summary... they actually recorded the wrong symptoms for why I was admitted in the first place. 😲

And get this: at our facility, they were discharging women from the ICU the very same day they had surgery just because they wanted to go home... When I asked how on earth they could authorize that without a physical exam, blood work, or even making sure the patient could pass urine for the first time—this was in the OBGYN department, mind you—they just laughed at me and said, "Well, they can always come back if something goes wrong." 🙄

By the way, all traffic was completely gridlocked starting the next day because of the President's visit.

So, she asked about starting those hormone pills on the very first day of her cycle.

That was my response to her.

She’ll get all the technical explanations from her gynecologist, along with advice on which specific brand or type fits her body best. To be precise, there are certain types of pills where you don't even take a break between packs... but that wasn't what she was asking.

By the way, if you're in the States, just swing by a local CVS or Walgreens; they can check for drug interactions for you free of charge. It's a smart move.

Paul Young3 said:So, you go to the gynecologist for blood work???

No, you don't head to the OB-GYN just to get blood drawn. You go to the lab associated with your primary care physician.

Once those results come back and everything looks fine, then your doctor prescribes the specific birth control pills they think fit your profile.

You start the regimen on the first day of your period. That’s how you keep your natural rhythm steady while ensuring the medication is effective immediately.

If for any reason—like after childbirth, an abortion, or a disrupted cycle—you don't start on day one, you have to use backup protection.
