Spas and clinics sell laser and radiofrequency sessions for vaginal tightening, dryness and better sex. The FDA warned these uses weren't established and could cause burns and scarring, and a sham-controlled trial found laser no better than a fake treatment.

Tiredness, tingling feet and memory slips can come from low vitamin B12, which affects up to 43% of older adults. Metformin's label now advises checking B12 every 2 to 3 years, and the NIH warns that acid-reducing medicines can block absorption from food. Here is who should be tested and what helps.
