Usually oral antifungal medication is safe to use and causes no side effects, but it’s stronger than topical antifungals are, so speak to a pharmacist or doctor for advice on how to get and use these medicines safely. It’s important to check with a pharmacist or doctor before you take an antifungal pill if you’re using other medicines, as some medicines interact badly with antifungals and can cause side effects. Speak to them too about any medical conditions or allergies you have, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. If you’re elderly, it’s also best to speak to a doctor before taking antifungal pills.

Some liver cleanses claim to break down body fat, improve liver function or ‘flush’ harmful toxins out of your system, but there’s no evidence to suggest that liver cleanses can actually improve fatty liver disease.

If you want to improve fatty liver, try doing more exercise or giving up smoking. Both actions are medically recognised ways to improve fatty liver disease.

Yes, anxiety can cause a number of physical symptoms, like numbness or tingling of your face, arms, hands, legs or feet – especially at the peak of anxiety or when having a panic attack. However, there can be many other reasons for numbness on one side of the body, so see a doctor if you develop this symptom.

There’s no evidence to suggest that a vasectomy will affect your sex drive or sexual performance. After surgery, you may have side effects like bruising of the skin around your testicles (scrotum), swelling and mild pain or discomfort. It will take about a week or so for you to fully heal and for the side effects to go away, which may stop you from having sex – but this won’t affect your libido in the long term. Read more about when you can have sex after a vasectomy.

If sex is forceful, or in a position that leads to very deep penetration, it may cause some bleeding, especially if you don’t have enough lubrication. However, you should still discuss any bleeding with a doctor. Remember that deep or rough sex should always be agreed to. If you’re uncomfortable or bleed because of deep sex, try a different position or more gentle sex.
