Help! I need some health questions answered?

We Answered:

question 2: the same thing happens when you shave your lower leg, the hairs grow back. It is nice having a completely smooth leg.

question 3: it might be your blood pressure, I have had to be checked like that too. First they take your b.p. laying down then they have you stand up fast and take it right away to see if it drops. the biggest thing is to remember to get up slow.

Refractive errors occur when the eye is not able to correctly focus images on the retina. The result is blurred vision, which is sometimes so severe that it creates functional blindness for affected individuals.

The three most common refractive errors are:

Myopia (nearsightedness) – this is difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly.
Hyperopia also known as Hypermetropia (farsightedness) – this is difficulty is seeing close objects clearly.
Astigmatism - This is distorted vision resulting from an irregularly curved cornea.

Hearing loss
Types of Hearing Loss
There are a few different types of hearing loss: conductive, sensory, mixed (conductive and sensory combined), and neural.

Conductive (say: kun-duk-tiv) hearing loss. This happens when there is a problem with a part of the outer or middle ear. Most kids with conductive hearing loss have a mild hearing loss and it is usually temporary because in most cases medical treatment can help.
Sensory (say: sen-suh-ree) hearing loss. This happens when the cochlea is not working correctly because the tiny hair cells are damaged or destroyed. Depending on the loss, a kid may be able to hear most sounds (although they would be muffled); may be able to hear in quiet but not in noise; only some sounds; or no sounds at all. Sensory hearing impairment is almost always permanent and a kid's ability to talk normally may be affected.
Neural (say: nur-ul) hearing loss. This happens when there is a problem with the connection from the cochlea to the brain. Neural means related to nerve, so neural hearing loss means the nerve that carries the messages from the cochlea to the brain is damaged.
What Causes Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss can happen because a person was born with parts of the ear that didn't form correctly and don't work well. Other problems can happen later because of an injury or illness, including:

middle ear fluid
serious infections, such as meningitis
head injury
listening to very loud music, especially through headphones
repeated exposure to loud sounds, such as machinery

Braille how it works

Reading and Writing Braille
People read Braille by moving their fingertips from left to right across the lines of dots. When writing Braille, people move from right to left instead, physically pressing the dots into the paper so that they show up on the other side. There are many methods used to write Braille, including: Physically pressing each dot into paper using a handheld stylus to make the impressions and a slate to hold the paper
A Braille writer, which has one key for each of the six dots in a Braille cell A full QWERTY keyboard attached to a Braille printer
Learning to use these tools and to read Braille is a lot like learning to read and write print. Printed letters and Braille cells are both symbols for pieces of language. The first step is to learn each of these symbols and what they mean. The next is to learn to recognize the patterns that the letters form. This eventually leads to the comprehension of words, sentences and paragraphs.

Hope that will answer all your queries . please post more questions if some thing is left out .

why is it that most of the health questions on here get answered with 'get an enema'?

We Answered:

Because some people are childish and stupid, If you want to build up more muscle then i suggest you get down to a gym maybe eat more protein and carbs But good carbs like bread, and pasta to keep your strength up so you can work out some more

How to report a suspicious link with hundreds of Y!A mental health questions and Answers?

We Answered:

No, you really can't report it. There are many, many sites out there that use YA input on their own sites. Some is done legally; some not so much. Here is why:

LEGAL: Yahoo has a special tool for site developers so they can 'pick the brains' of Yahoo Answers q&a, as long as they give Yahoo credit. You can see about it here:
http://developers.yahoo.com/answers

NOT SO LEGAL: Using those SAME tools - or simply using the RSS FEEDS that are scattered all over this site, other sites 'steal' the q&a here and disguise it as their own to draw folks to their sites for more traffic. Yahoo knows, but for the most part these are too many and too small for them to bother to prosecute for copyright infringement.

We Answered:

Maybe you are pregnant. I mean it's rare to experience all those symptoms so early, even before your missed period. But, there is always a chance. Take a test if you miss your period.
