Answer:
It is bad luck that you have this problem but in fact it is surprisingly common for men to be unable to pee when other folk are around. You are not alone. many people can’t urinate at all if there is someone else in the rest room.

It is not due to any physical cause, but it is as you suggest a sort of “stage fright”. Fortunately, there is no reason for you to fear that this difficulty will harm you physically. There is no scientific evidence that your prostate could be harmed.

But what should you do if you have this problem? Try to keep it in perspective. Most people have a mild problem that is only an inconvenience. Men should try using a stall rather than a urinal. Flushing may help you start your urine stream.

A guy responded on a forum to suggest that doing math problems in your head can help possibly by distracting you from the situation. And if you decide to seek psychological treatment, my advice would be to see a behavioural or cognitive psychotherapist who would gradually accustom you to the idea of passing water near other people.

My hair is thinning out

Dear Doctor,
M Y hair is starting to thin. I observed that this runs in my   family. Can I stop it from getting worse?
R.L., Oyo

Answer:
Male pattern baldness is caused by a combination of hormonal imbalance and genetics, which slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely.

This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss. In order for your hair to remain strong and maintain its growth cycle, it must be properly conditioned and fed the right nutrients.

Retane works wonders by doing just that: attacking the problem at the source. A botanical hair tonic, Retane contains vitamin B5, vitamin E, protodiosin, folic acid, aloe vera, inositol, biotin, and ginseng panax extract.

This formula enhances the vitality of your hair and scalp, and protects against excessive hair damage and loss. Its clinically proven natural nutrients keep your hair healthy so they won’t fall out in the first place.

In one clinical research, Retane helped stop hair loss in 87 percent of the subjects, without any side effects. And although there is no guarantee, in some cases of early hair loss, it can even help reverse the process.

Do I need to go to hospital?

Dear Doctor,
CAN  I get haemorrhoids by sitting on a cold surface? How can I reduce the swelling?
T.G., Ondo State.

Answer:
Aging, heredity, bouts of diarrhoea, chronic constipation, and straining on the toilet are all potential causes of haemorrhoids. Sitting for a long time on a cold and hard surface can make the haemorrhoids even worse because the intestinal veins become contracted and damaged.

When your body tries to repair the harm by rushing more blood to the area, swelling occurs.

It is that swelling that causes excruciating pain, since it is taking place in a confined area. The best way to reduce this swelling, thus eliminating the pain, is to rely on herbal supplements such as Hemaron.

Its main active ingredients are Sophora japonica, or Japanese Pagoda tree, Horse chestnut, and Butcher’s broom extracts. Clinical studies on Hemarons ingredients have shown that 94 per cent of treated hemorrhoids sufferers have significant and lasting relief from the pain, itching, burning sensation, and discomfort of hemorrhoids.

Without any side effects, Hemaron reduces swelling and improves the health of veins by normalizing their permeability, strengthening their walls, and providing them with the proper nutrients.
