No, sexual orientation does not cause migraines, though sleep loss, stress, hormones, and medication can still trigger attacks. If this question has been nagging at you, the plain answer is no. Being gay is not a migraine cause. Migraine is a neurologic condition tied to brain signaling, genetics, hormone shifts, and a long list of […]

Yes, many blocked or clipped fallopian tubes can be rejoined, but full tube removal cannot be reversed. “Getting your tubes tied” usually means a form of tubal sterilization. In some cases, a surgeon can reconnect the fallopian tubes so sperm and egg can meet again. In other cases, that is not possible. The real answer

Yes, a scratchy throat can be strep, yet fever, swollen neck glands, and a throat test tell the story better than throat feel alone. A scratchy throat is one of those symptoms that can mean almost anything. Dry air can do it. Allergies can do it. A cold can do it. Strep can do it

No, a urinary tract infection does not change into chlamydia, though both can cause burning, urgency, and lower belly pain. It’s an easy mix-up. You feel a sting when you pee, you keep heading to the bathroom, and your lower abdomen feels off. That cluster of symptoms can sound like one problem when it may

Yes, a dental abscess can lead to throat pain when swelling, pus drainage, or spreading infection irritates nearby tissues. A sore throat and tooth pain can feel like two separate problems, but they can be tied together. An abscessed tooth is a pocket of infection, usually near the root or in the gum around a

Yes, this skin treatment can trigger headaches in some people, though burning, redness, and soreness at the application site are far more common. Fluorouracil cream is used on the skin, most often for actinic keratoses and, in some cases, other sun-damaged spots or selected superficial skin cancers. Since it stays on the skin, many people

No, a soft comfort item can block airflow in a sleep space, so the crib should stay empty for babies under 12 months. A lovey blanket can look tiny, light, and harmless. In a baby’s sleep space, it’s still a soft object. That’s why pediatric sleep advice stays strict through the first year: no loose
