If you’ve ever felt your face turn bright red (who hasn’t?) because you passed gas in public, discovered dark sweat stains under your arms or had some similarly embarrassing body faux pas, then this guide is for you!
Although flatulence, dandruff, excessive sweating, urinary leaking and the like usually are more of a social problem than a threat to health, sometimes they do provide clues to something more serious going on in your body. For instance, gassiness may simply mean that you’ve been eating too many processed foods—or it could signal gallbladder disease. So while you may wince at the thought of talking about embarrassing symptoms, it’s important that you let your doctor know what’s going on.
Meanwhile, there are many ways you can feel more at ease in public. Our Guide to Solving Embarrassing Health Problems tells you about the foods you should avoid if you have a body odor issue…a common scalp treatment that actually makes dandruff worse and what you should use instead…the tasty “deli cure” for constipation…what works best to relieve anal itching or halt bowel incontinence…and much, much more.
