Q: If your doctor determines that you do have a bleeding ulcer, they will prescribe you 1 or more medications to help the ulcer heal. The most often prescribed medications are those that block the production of stomach acid. A less acidic environment will allow the ulcer to heal on its own. Commonly prescribed medications include:  Omeprazole (Prilosec). Lansoprazole (Prevacid). Pantoprazole (Protonix). Esomeprazole (Nexium). pylori bacteria. If your breath, blood, or stool test for H. pylori came back positive, your doctor can prescribe you an antibiotic medication to remove the bacteria from your system. This will remove the primary irritant within your stomach, and allow the lining of your stomach wall to begin healing itself. Medications commonly prescribed to kill H. pylori include:  Amoxicillin (Amoxil). Metronidazole (Flagyl). Tinidazole (Tindamax). If the doctor doesn’t mention the test results to you, make a point to ask them. The test results should be available within a few hours of when you took the test, or 24 hours at the longest. If you have a bleeding ulcer, your doctor will prescribe medicine to coat and protect the lining of your stomach or intestine. This will prevent the ulcer from being agitated further, and give the ulcer time to stop bleeding and heal itself. Common prescriptions include:  Sucralfate (Carafate). Misoprostol (Cytotec). Your doctor may suggest a different medication based on whether your bleeding ulcer is located in your stomach or your small intestine. For serious bleeding ulcers, you may need to have a surgical procedure done to close the ulcer and stop the bleeding. Although it’s uncommon, ulcers are occasionally unable to heal themselves. In these cases, a surgeon will need to perform one or more operations to ensure that the ulcer stops bleeding and properly heals. There are three primary surgical procedures performed on individuals with a severely bleeding ulcer.  In a vagotomy, the vagus nerve (the nerve that connects the stomach to the brain) is severed. This interrupts the messages the brain sends to the stomach to produce stomach acid. An antrectomy procedure removes the lower portion of the stomach to inhibit the production of stomach acid. In a pyloroplasty, the lower stomach is widened to allow food to process more easily into the small intestine. After you begin taking medication, you may still experience discomfort or pain from the ulcer. You can combat this pain in various ways. Your doctor may recommend that you regularly take an antacid for the pain, or that you stop smoking. Your diet can also have an effect on ulcer pain, so if you notice that certain foods irritate the ulcer, stop eating them.  Also, try eating 5 to 6 small meals during the day, so that you avoid stuffing your stomach or letting it get completely empty. Talk to your doctor if pain persists for more than 3 or 4 weeks after you began taking medication for your ulcer. The doctor may recommend that you stop taking certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that can irritate the ulcer.
A: Ask about a prescription for medications that block acid production. Take medications to kill H. Ask about medications to protect the lining of your stomach or small intestine. Undergo surgery to close the ulcer. Deal with ulcer-related pain while your body heals.

Q: Many times, making out happens after a date night. If you've been eating or drinking, be sure you make an effort to assure your breath is fresh.  If you're at your own place or his place, run to the bathroom and make quick use of mouth wash.  You can also invest in Altoids, mint gum, or breath strips.

Pay attention to the man's reactions; try to get a sense of what he likes and dislikes. Start off at a slow tempo and then, as things get heavier, move quicker and start using your tongue, hands, and other body parts. Many people enjoy some tongue during making out. If the man you're kissing seems to enjoy tongue, then don't hesitate to use your tongue during the make out session. If you want to allow the guy to take the lead, try opening your mouth slightly to show him you're interested. See if he initiates using his tongue. Sometimes, some mild teasing can really turn a guy on. In the middle of a kiss, pull back slightly and pull his head away from your face. Pause kissing for a few seconds and then resume.

When making out, reach up and touch his face. Gently rub his stubble and rub his cheeks. Many men experience sexual pleasure through scalp massages, so try gently running your fingers through his hair as well.
A:
Freshen up first. Escalate the kissing gradually. Use your tongue. Tease him. Kiss the neck and ears. Touch a guy's face while making out.
