Find answers to some commonly asked questions about tamsulosin oral capsules. Does tamsulosin treat kidney stones or blood pressure problems? No, tamsulosin is only approved to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is also called enlarged prostate. It's a noncancerous condition that affects adult males.* Tamsulosin isn't used to treat high blood pressure, as are other drugs that belong to this group of medications. There's not enough information known about the safety and effectiveness of using tamsulosin for blood pressure. But the drug can cause low blood pressure as a side effect, especially when it's first started. Doctors may prescribe tamsulosin off-label for certain conditions, such as kidney stones. (This is when a drug is used for a purpose other than its approved uses.) A 2018 study found that tamsulosin was effective in clearing kidney and ureteral stones. But larger studies are needed to learn more about the best dosage, safety, and effe...

It's called morning sickness, but that truly unpleasant side effect of pregnancy involving nausea and vomiting isn't limited to just the morning. It can happen at any time of the day or night, and more than three-quarters of all pregnant people will have to deal with it at some point. But how long does it last, and can it effectively be treated? Taking a combination of Unisom and vitamin B6 is one home remedy that some doctors recommend to help people deal with morning sickness during pregnancy. Here's the scoop on whether it's worth trying. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) notes that morning sickness, defined as nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, will affect almost 75 percent of all pregnant people. Morning sickness can be one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, beginning around the sixth week. You can blame it on those rising pregnancy hormones. For many, morning sickness seems to stop around weeks 12 to 14, but for others, it continues for much lon...

The itching, irritation, and burning symptoms of a yeast infection are uncomfortable. Many over-the-counter (OTC) treatments effectively treat vaginal yeast infection and can save you a trip to the doctor's office. This article rounds up seven of the best OTC products to help manage a yeast infection. A yeast infection is a common condition caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida . Yeast infections can affect any part of the body, but they often occur in the vagina. A vaginal yeast infection is a fungal infection that causes irritation, discharge, and intense itchiness of the vagina and the vulva — the tissues at the vaginal opening. Also called vaginal candidiasis, vaginal yeast infections affect up to 75 percent of people with a vagina at some point in their lifetime. A healthy vagina has a balance of good bacteria and yeast. Usually, the good bacteria keep the balance in check. Still, under some conditions, the balance can be disrupted, allowing the yeast to grow out of c...

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are very common. According to the World Health Organization , more than 1 million STIs are acquired every day. One reason for this is because even contraceptive methods, like condoms, are not always fail-proof. Overall, if you're sexually active, you're at risk for an STI. But you don't need an appointment to get tested. Nowadays, there are dozens of at-home testing kits. Here's how to figure out what type of at-home STD test is best for you, which products to consider, and when to see a doctor in person. STIs are infections that are transmitted from one person to another during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. An STI is only considered an STD — a disease — when it causes symptoms. Usually, an infection is the first step on the road to potentially developing a disease, but it hasn't yet turned into disease and often doesn't cause any symptoms. Not all diseases start out as infections. Bu...

Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most important bacterial causes of human skin infections. If S. pyogenes invades deep into the tissue, it can cause life-threatening illnesses, such as sepsis and toxic shock. With its limited supply of carbohydrates, the skin is generally an effective barrier against infection and not a good surface for the survival of S. pyogenes . To survive successfully and invade deep into the tissue, bacteria must be able to find a source of nutrients and also evade the skin's immune defenses. Now, an international team led by Osaka University, Japan, in collaboration with Keio University, Japan, and University of California San Diego, USA, has discovered a way this disease organism obtains nutrition from the skin surface. This knowledge could lead to new therapeutic approaches to tackle infections. The team recently published the work in Cell Reports . It was already known that some bacteria break down arginine (an amino acid -- one of the building...

There are many misconceptions about the vagina and how to take care of it. Honestly, ladies, trust me, besides soap and water, there is nothing that qualifies to go down there. Nothing at all. There really isn't anything that would make it smell better – nothing that will make it tighter, perhaps surgery, but that is not the topic for today.  Yeast infections – If you are someone who is prone to these, I am sure you just cringed at reading that word. So, what is a yeast infection and how do we cure it? Yeast infections are many things: aggravating, itchy, kinda gross – but one thing they shouldn't be is mysterious. These incredibly common infections are caused by a fungus that is naturally present in your body. When that fungus level rises, which can happen due to increased estrogen levels, antibiotics or pregnancy, it can lead to an infection. With this, symptoms are often a white discharge – sometimes cottage cheese-like, vulvovaginal itching, and/or burning.&nbs...

On June 4, 2021, the FDA announced the long-anticipated approval of Wegovy, an injectable medication taken once per week for weight management. Wegovy received significant media attention in the months preceding approval, with a New York Times article declaring it a "game changer," MedPage Today reporting its "unprecedented results," and the BBC announcing it could mark a "new era" in treating obesity. Ongoing media coverage continues to extol the efficacy of Wegovy as better than any other medication currently on the market for weight management. Such sensational headlines are commonplace in the media, so we must ask ourselves: is all the media attention truly warranted? What is Wegovy and how does it work? Wegovy is the brand name for the high-dose injectable peptide hormone molecule known as semaglutide, a medication that was previously approved by the FDA under the b...
