My husband has foul smelling urine. In his terms, it smells like rot. He has recently been recovering from a B.Suis brucellosis infection that he had for 6 years. They treated it with Gentamicin which damaged his kidneys and inner ear. His GFR was 42 in November, 75 in December and 77 this week. But suddenly his kidneys hurt, and his urine smells. The local doctor (family practice) said we should not be alarmed and to simply increase his fluid intake. What are your thoughts?
|
Dear User, in biology, thus medicine is included, bad smell is always a bad sign. Your husband should perform an urinalysis and urine culture to exclude an infection. It is very likely according to your story. Let me know,

My motility is also constraint of 20 % , count is reduced form 35 to 15 millions . Can u pl guide me . ALso i want to freeze my blood relatative sample for min 05 IUI .

HI, Thanks for asking. I have read & understood your concern. a) Provided your wife is ovulating regular monthly period/ her tubes are patent (which must have been tested before posting her for IVF.) and your sperm count shows normal liquefaction time & normal intercourse with good erection & ejaculation, (because 15- 35 millions sperms with 20% grade 4 motility is able to impregnate) you can try to have a natural pregnancy for 3 months. Both of you start taking folic acid pills & cap. Vitamin E till conceived. Know her ovulation time by LH surge test done at home. Have unprotected sex for 5 days from the +ve test. Confirm pregnancy by Home pregnancy test of urine after 8 days delay in periods. B() if no success with natural way. Both of you can go for GUI (intrauterine insemination . At the ovulation time (by LH surge test/ by USG scan) . Using selective healthy sperms of yourself or donor. c) IVF is a tedious process. But can give + ve results with donor sperms. In case of problem with your wives ovum/ uterus. Surrogacy is the answer using couples own & donors gametes (sperm / ovum). Wishing you luck. Thanks.

Mr. Jackson, age 65, comes to the doctor s office complaining of a sharp pain in the right side of his chest. He says his chest hurts when he breathes deeply or coughs. This is a problem, he says, because he has been coughing a lot, has difficulty drawing breath, and feels a tightness in the center of his chest. What condition or conditions might the doctor suspect? What methods of diagnosis would the doctor use, and what specific signs would the doctor look for to pinpoint the cause?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. According to his symptoms, possibility of bronchitis or lung infection is more likely. He is having pleuritic pain (pain on deep breathing). Pleuritic pain is characteristically seen in pneumonia and bronchitis. So doctor will auscultate his lungs. If it sounds like wheezing then bronchitis is more likely and hence PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) is needed. If it sounds like crests then pneumonia is more likely and hence chest x-ray is needed. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks.

Its been 5 days that I have experiencing diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, abdominal terderness and there are days that its difficult to move bowel. Is this amoebiasis? What will be its treatment and proper medication?Hope to find light on this matter. Thank you so much!
|
Many things can be causing your symptoms, including meiosis and other parasitic infections. You could also be having a viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. Your symptoms are consistent with a variety of gastrointestinal infections. The only way to find out exactly what the cause is, is to see a doctor and have the diarrhea tested for amoebas and other types of infections. The treatments for these different conditions vary, so it is important to find the correct diagnosis before you treat it. There are specific antibiotics for bacterial infection, and different medications for the different parasites that may be present. Viral infections are managed symptomatically. So if this is persisting, get it checked and find out what the best treatment is for your condition. Hope this helps.

Hi Doctor,A few days back a rusted nail pierced throgh my foot. I took one anti-tetanus injection immediately. Though there is no wound now, I feel terrible pain on that spot while walking. Does it mean there is infection inside? what medicine should I take now?
|
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorIts good that you took a dose of TT injection soon after the wound site. If your previous TT injection dose was 10 years back, you need to take 2 doses of injection.Also, as you are having pain in the wound, you need to take a course of antibiotics and painkillers, as you are having infection. Hope you are happy with the answer, Thank you

I have muscle aches, bone pain, fatigue and I sleep a lot. I cancel appointments, family and friends functions. I can no longer do house hold chores. This started years ago only a couple times in 2 months, now it has progressed to almost on a daily basis. What specialist should I consult with to help determine what is my problem. I am a 75 year old female. I really need help. Thank you.

Your problem will be solved for 100% sure. I have dealt with many aged people and all does well with exercise and good diet.

Hello, my name is Davie. I have severe back and neck problems, have for close to a decade. My entire spine and neck is very sore, nerve problems and no doubt my spine would be out in lots of places. A few weeks ago i started getting pains in my throat, like pain coming from the top of my chest just below my collar bones and traveling up my two neck two arteries. It isnt constant, but is there daily and comes and goes. Its in direct line with where the worst part of my back is, just below my collarbone line. That level is where my back is just beyond sore, words cant describe how bad it gets and i know my spine is out of place badly there. Now at the front at the exact same level is where im getting the pains from that are shooting into my throat. I know that pains like that can be heart related, but i feel fine apart from my back pain, my heart feels okay. Im just wondering can severe back pain and having a spine out of place cause such problems like this at the front. It just feels very tight and i get shooting pains going into my throat, but theres no real trouble breathing, just the usual tightness i feel with my spine being out and being very painful. If i honestly thought it was my heart and i had no trouble at all with back or neck pain, id be at the hospital right now. I just honestly dont feel its my heart and i know how ridiculous my back feels right now with the pain im in. Im only 35, so i dont think its a heart attack or stroke or anything and i have no tingling or numbness or anything in my arms/hands. Just want to know if severe back pain and spine out of place can transfer pain to your front and affect other things to give you the neck pain and chest tightness ive just described. Thank you for you help.
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for asking the query. In my opinion this is not heart attack or stroke. The pain at the back and in the spine does not come to the front just below the collar bone. The pain you are having in front and at the back are two separate pains. If I was your treating physician I will do the following:1. Take detailed assessment of your mood and anxiety. Sometimes such pains are associated with depression and anxiety disorder. Treating depression/anxiety improves the outcome of pain as well. 2. Get your x-ray spine done. 3. Examine the throat and chest for any abnormality.4. Get an ECG done.5. Consider starting antianxiety and pain modulating medicines. I hope this helps you.2.

i have a small burning spot on my back lung or rib at present i have brochortis and allergies taken medicine for both when i breahe very that is when the burning spot starts doent seem larger than a dime to quaeter size it just started this evening did not know if it heart related or my condition to the brochortis abd allergies
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis and allergy related symptom is more rather than heart related. Bronchitis and allergies when uncontrolled can cause worsening inflammation in lungs. And this can cause burning type of sensation. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will tell you about severity of inflammation. On the basis of PFT values, treatment is advised. Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) are treatment of choice. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, i am pregnant for the second time. Unfortunately i miscarried around 20 weeks in June. I should be about 8 weeks pregnant on November 10 but i have had light bleeding. The first occurance was two days ago it was just a light flow that ended basically as soon as it started. I rested until today when i had a lot of walking i needed to do and then i bleed again. My worry is compounded by the fact that i have had a lot of acid problems and constipation so i am not sure if my stomache pain has other more sinister causes. I am only due to see my OB in a week. Thank you in advance for your answer.
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there are various causes for bleeding or spotting in pregnancy like hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities, progesterone insufficiency, abnormal pregnancy,low-lying placenta, bleeding from cervix etc. I suggest you to rule out the above causes by getting done physical examination, thyroid profile to rule out thyroid abnormalities, ultrasound to know the pregnancy status. Nothing to worry. Once the cause is treated it will subside. Avoid physical strain and intercourse. Take strict bed rest. But if the bleeding has not stopped consult doctor. Hope this helps. Best regards...

My mum(89) has just had a CT scan and MRI scan on her liver.An physical examination found her liver was enlarged --she has sometimes got an enlarged abdomen that is occasionally hard to touch I presume they are checking for liver cancer --any other possibilities Thanks Ian
|
Hi thanks for asking question. Enlarge liver could be by infection, cancer or hemolytic anemia... Your doctor has done your physical examination. So he might have suspected cancer and let's see report of CT scan... Another possibility if cancer not present could be hepatitis ...If you need viral marker may be needed. It could be by chronic hemolysis also ex.thalassemia, autoimmune hemolysis, Chat Doctor. For hemolysis primary work up us with peripheral smear examination and relic count... If still exact cause not clear USG guided biopsy done for final approach... Hope your concern solved.... Take care.

Hi, I am 22 years old and I have been suffering with abdominal pain for months now, I have been back and forth to the Doctors but don t seem to be getting any answers, the pain was in the upper middle abdomen but now it seems to be under my left rib and in my back, I feel sick almost every day and sometimes the pain is so bad I struggle to find a position to relieve it. I have an 18 month old Daughter and this pain is making life hard work. I had a natural vaginal birth however I had to be put under anesthetic to have my placenta removed. I am very good with pain but this is so aggravating..I have had an abdominal ultra sound and it came back normal so please please help me or give me some idea what this could be. Amy.
|
Hi Amy, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, it seems that your pain in abdomen is due to increased acidity in the stomach. You should follow some precautions like :-1. Avoid spicy and oily foods.2. Donor miss a meal.3. Avoid emotional/mental stress.4. Avoid doing self-medication especially with painkillers and steroids.5. Chat Doctor. You can take antacid like Omeprazole 20 mg daily along with Risperidone 10 mg for relief from your symptoms. Antacid in gel or liquid form is also beneficial as it forms a protective layer over the damaged mucosa of the stomach. You can get yourself investigated for :-1. H. pylori infection.2. Endoscopy. If the problem persists, get your examined and investigated by Gastroenterologist. I hope this is useful to you. Thanks.

Hi, I am twenty five years old and started having seizures 9 months ago. I have not only had recurrent seizures while on medication, but also very I ll from side effects. I was on keppra and lost 15 pounds due to severe nausea and am was switched to a combination of dilantin and lamictal. I am currently weaning off of the dilantin and have been experiencing dizzy spells, auras, shaking, nausea, and tingling in hands and feet. I keep feeling like I am going to have a seizure, but haven t actually had one. Is it possible that my body is trying to have a seizure, but it s being prevented by the medication? Are these feelings normal while weaning off of dilantin? I would appreciate your professional opinion! Lisa

Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms are not typical of weaning dilation. You should know that this Chat Doctor.

I am currently weaning off of the dilantin and have been experiencing dizzy spells, auras, shaking, nausea, and tingling in hands and feet. I keep feeling like I am going to have a seizure, but haven t actually had one. Is it possible that my body is trying to have a seizure, but it s being prevented by the medication? Are these feelings normal while weaning off of dilantin? I would appreciate your professional opinion! Lisa
### Answer: Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms are not typical of weaning dilation. You should know that this Chat Doctor.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for posting your query. I understand your query. Advantage has active ingredient of Methylprednisolone acetate commonly used to treat redness, swelling, crusting. It can be safely used over affected area for up to 12 weeks in adults unless they develop side effects like thinning of skin, purple patches or dilated veins over affected area. Swelling will gradually subside. Hope this information was helpful. Regards

I have lower left back pain that is below waistline and when I walk is very painful and radiates up the left of my spine. Been to chiropractor 4 times and says its my lower lumbar but treatments haven t helped. not sure what more I can do. Tylenol, ibuprofen/ naproxen is not helping. thinking it may be more seiours. I know what sciatica pain is and its not that. I don t have credit card with me, didn t know I had to pay
|
Thank you for sharing your complaint, dear friend your low back pain seems muscular pain. You should consult orthopedic/neurophysician nearer to you when you are in your city. Presently if you have severe pain then take muscle relaxant medicine like combination of diclofenac+paracetamol+chlorzoxazon. Exercise and physiotherapy will help you a lot. If possible consult physiotherapist nearer to you.-exercise for low back pain-raise your one lower extremity straight from hip joint without bending from knee after sleeping on back and then put down slowly. Same exercise for another lower extremity. And then for both leg simultaneously. Sleep on abdomen and raise your head and chest backward. Increase this exercise every day. Hope this answer will be helpful to you. For more queries please don't hesitate to ask. Get well soon dear friend

I have a lump in the front of my neck above my colar bone..I noticed it three years ago or so as a small pea size, now it is the size of a 50 cent piece...I have had cancer in the left parodit gland and breast cancer in the past..so far my doctors say it is nothing...do I need to look into it more...Thank you
|
Hi. With the history of cancer a lump in the area you mentioned needs at least FNAC that is Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and may an ultrasonography. Most probably this can a normal swelling from thyroid as this has been there for a long time of 3 years and very slowly growing.

my daughter is in the ospital now..sahe was suffering dengue fever stage 1..what is the immediate remedy to increase her platelets?her platelets yesterday is 88 and her vital sign is 120/70 and her weight is 60lbs.she was 11 year old.pls help me doc...
|
Hi, first there is no need to panic. Platelet count above 20000 will cause no harm to the child. Secondly adequate liquid diet is more important in dengue fever. Usually, the platelet starts to increase as the child improves which usually occurs around 4-5 days of fever. I suggest you to give adequate liquid diet and daily platelet count monitoring of child. Regards - Chat Doctor.

My husband was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeloid Lukemea) that has mutaion or moleclar change in a gene called Flt 3. He is under going treatment and completed the fourth Chemo cycle. Also he is on a study drug calledI Midosaturin . I recently read that Imitinef Mercilet is a cure for Blood Cancer and it is available at Adayar Cancer Institute, Chennai, India. Is it correct? The name of the medicine is :Imitinef Mercilet
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Since your husband is diagnosed with AML which is a type of blood cancer, chemotherapy is one of the best solutions for him. Midostaurin is a promising medicine and is under multiple research and treatment trials. If your husband is getting this medicine then let him continue taking it under the recommendation of his doctor. It is considered effective for a type of cancer called systemic mastocytosis. The promotion of limiting merciless in some sections of media is misrepresented. Just like midostaurin, limiting merciless is the name of another medicine which was in trials some time back. This medicine was not totally curative for all blood cancers but under research for certain blood cancer types. Unfortunately due to public ignorance, this was made in to a news report and mail and circulated among unintended sections of society. It is important not to get misled by such details. Please do not worry.

I have chronic urticarial. a few months ago I started an aggressive exercise regimen, running, weights, jumping, etc. I started to experience random tingling sensations in my legs and then I tried a stair master and after that I had a significant attack all over of tingling and pain on the bottoms of my feet (my dr. had diagnosed me with pressure hives/dermatographism 3 years ago. what can I do? I stopped exercising and its better but not completely gone. Certain ways that I sit can bring it on but if I get up and walk it goes away.
|
I think you should visit an orthopedic specialist. Get your spine assessed. As tingling sensation can be due to back disorder as you are even a heavyweight lifter. Kindly visit and orthopedic specialist and follow the guidelines. You need to strengthen your core muscles and be little slow in performing exercises.

Hello, My name is Rahul, am from Hyderabad, INDIA. My sister (29 years) is suffering from kidney problem. Her serem creatinine level is 9.9mg/dl for now and doctors here say that kidney transplant operation has to be done as soon as possible. But getting the source for kidney is never easy. My entire family is worried about this. I request you to suggest some thing that can help us to save her. I hope you will definitely come up with some positive way to get out of this problem. Please Help! Regards, Rahul

Hi, as i don't know what kidney problem is your sister suffering from it is difficult to say whether a kidney transplant is going to solve her problem. Kidney or renal transplant has its own problems and it's not easy to say that is the best of solutions as it itself involves a large amount of expense plus its own known side effects which are very common like a person has to stay on immunosuppressive Chat Doctor.

Palpitation can be because of anemia or some heart problem. Valvular heart disease may be diagnosed during pregnancy only. Get EKG with 2decho of heart done. Be calm and positive, everything will be OK.

In the last six months I ve had two fusion surgeries done. One at my C3-C4 and one at my L5-S1. I came out of the neck fusion fine, textbook recovery and doing well. However, with my back surgery I developed a really bad reaction to the surgical glue they used to glue the steri-strips (sp?) to hold my incision together. After a medrol dose pack I was fine, and felt very well at about 2-3 weeks post op. Then suddenly at about 4 weeks I developed a really bad itching with swelling in my hands and feet as well as huge hives, small welts and patches of rash all over my arms, neck, chest, tops of my feet, on my face and in my ears. At one point I ended up with a swelling and burning feeling on the left side of my tongue and left tonsil. My hands and feet would end up being painful in all the joints at the worst flare ups . I ended up going to the ER three times for various problems with this reaction and was told to take benadryl. After followup with my primary care he put me on hydroxyzine and another medrol dose pack. After finishing the dose pack I did really well for about 3-4 days and even got to where I didn t have to take anything for itching/hives. But then the rashes, itching and hives have slowly come back and gotten worse, I m now on another medrol dose pak and taking the hydroxyzine every 4-6 hours. Originally my surgeon s PA thought it was a reaction to the Norco and Robaxin I was on post surgery so I ve been off of that for about 3 weeks or so. My primary care doctor believes this is a an over reaction my body is having due to the trauma of having two major surgeries within a 6 month time period. My questions are: Is this possible? And if so, why does it happen and how long can it last? When should I be worried that something else is going on with my body? I don t have a history of allergies except a reaction to penicillin when I was about 8 years old. I ve never even had seasonal allergy issues so I m really at a loss as to what I can do.

Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest doing the allergic tests for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using Loratadine to prevent the symptoms. I also suggest using HY Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: In the last six months I ve had two fusion surgeries done. One at my C3-C4 and one at my L5-S1. I came out of the neck fusion fine, textbook recovery and doing well. However, with my back surgery I developed a really bad reaction to the surgical glue they used to glue the steri-strips (sp?) to hold my incision together. After a medrol dose pack I was fine, and felt very well at about 2-3 weeks post op. Then suddenly at about 4 weeks I developed a really bad itching with swelling in my hands and feet as well as huge hives, small welts and patches of rash all over my arms, neck, chest, tops of my feet, on my face and in my ears. At one point I ended up with a swelling and burning feeling on the left side of my tongue and left tonsil. My hands and feet would end up being painful in all the joints at the worst flare ups . I ended up going to the ER three times for various problems with this reaction and was told to take benadryl. After followup with my primary care he put me on hydroxyzine and another medrol dose pack. After finishing the dose pack I did really well for about 3-4 days and even got to where I didn t have to take anything for itching/hives. But then the rashes, itching and hives have slowly come back and gotten worse, I m now on another medrol dose pak and taking the hydroxyzine every 4-6 hours. Originally my surgeon s PA thought it was a reaction to the Norco and Robaxin I was on post surgery so I ve been off of that for about 3 weeks or so. My primary care doctor believes this is a an over reaction my body is having due to the trauma of having two major surgeries within a 6 month time period. My questions are: Is this possible?

Im a bricklayer and recently have been lifting alot of blocks lately and the other day my wrist started hurting and now my wrist and half way up my arm is swollen, I dont feel any pain unless i turn my hand a certain way but other than that its just really swollen....so swollen my skin is shiny.
|
Hi, there! Your situation is moderate (shiny skin is red flag) and Your arm needs rest! You must add cold (ice through towel) for 15 min every hour and put Your arm in sling. This condition can last for 1 week!Painkiller local gel is recommended after cold - Ibuprofen based gel. If Your finger start to be numb and parenthetic, then go to emergency ward. I hope this helps

I have occasional perception of weakness in my limbs since the last few years (particularly in the left upper & lower limbs), with a slightly increased frequency over the past few months. I have no problem with gripping or lifting an object etc. as such, just that the left hand feel a little more tired when I lift it as compared to the right. I also get tingling and burning sensation in my palms and feet sometimes and also in certain parts of the body, which are non specific and transient. Of late, I am also experiencing occasional gentle transient pain or a sudden pulse of pain in my limbs (probably along the nerves) , neck and sometimes inside the head too, though, this are non-location specific (meaning, the pain is not in the same spot all the time. eg. sometimes its the right side of the head, sometimes left, sometimes around the cheek bone etc. I am non-diabetic with normal BP and 40 years of age. I have been detected with dyslipidemia some 6-7 years back and since then I am on Atorvastatin 10 mg ( was briefly in 5 mg dose too in between) and have my lipid profile under control. I have also been prescribed with aspirin 75 mg, since the last 4 months. I have consulted neurologist for my problem and my problem, mentioned here, has been attributed to stress / anxiety. Is the diagnosis correct? For the problem, I have been prescribed Tryptomer 10 mg, which I am yet to start, as I read somewhere it is an anit-depressant, has a sedative effect and can be addictive. Hence, I want to avoid it. Is it Ok, if I try and control it with diet, meditation and relaxation excercises? Or, I need to take the medicine to cure myself. Please note that the problem I face is not very acute, but nonetheless when it occurs it makes me nervous about my well being and fate. May kindly advise.
|
Hi. My opinion is that you might be having a hemiparesis- i.e. weakness on one side of the body. This is usually a sign of an area in your brain that is not getting enough blood supply. With a history of dyslipidemia there is a possibility of a mild stroke or transient ischemic attacks. My advice is to have a brain scan to verify if there is no central lesion in the brain. Hope that helps.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. This irregular intake of birth control pills has probably disturbed your cycle. This may be a delay in your periods or a new period date will set now. Nothing can be said for sure. Better to wait & see. Meanwhile, you may try home pregnancy tests after every few days until you start your period. Avoid irregular intake of hormonal pills in future to avoid period irregularities. Wish you good health.

Hi, I am trying to get pregnant for the last 7 months.my age is 36 years old. I have a 5 year old daughter. In October 2014, my TSH was 12. After taking levoflox(50mgm daily) my TSH is a bit suppressed -0.2My endo has told me to change dosage and take 50mgm every alternate day. All other tests ( T3and T4) are normal Could the fluctuating thyroid affects my conception.I have consulted a fertility specialist and all fertility test were normal(Tubal patency, pelvic scan , ovary function,Lsh level)But my partners Siemens analyses show total motility at 27% and progressive motility at 4%.what can he do to increase motility and could this be causing problems with conceiving? Are there any other test you would recommend to check fertility-thanks
|
Hi thyroid levels do affect pregnancy chances. Get a repeat TSH done and prolactin levels too. Your husband can take some antioxidant prescribed by a doctor. Do a semen culture for your husband as sometimes infections may lead to decreased motility. You can try for ovulation induction with GUI. It will look be a good option for you considering your husband semen analysis.

Hello! Doctor, I ve been undergoing Psychiatric treatment since 2007 for the diagnosed Acute Depreciation & Anxiety. I m being treated with Ventab DXT 25, Macorate CR200, Wacalert 50 & Zapiz 1.00 whenever I feel more anxiety or seem not able to control my thoughts. Actually, this started in 1998 from Exam Phobia & was treated for same. Since then I ve been in & out on medication from time to time till 2007 from where there s consistency in medication & follow ups. Sutre, the treatment has helped me to stabilize over the period. I ve got married, have a small daughter, completed post graduation, MBA & also did certification in SAP FI. The doctor has been of great help to me. He was of opinion that I ve lesser coping capacity. And, that s not entirely wrong. His major concern has been my changing the job & settling in it. He s slowly started reducing power of drugs with powers mentioned above. But, it seems I ve developed dependency on these medicines. And, I want to stand on my own with my thought controlling me rather than medicines. In this blog, I read in answer to one patient, reference to Meditation, Self Motivation. Meditation or Yoga is okay for me since I ve learned it scientifically. I want to know about self motivation. Is there any specific resource available? How can I access it? Will I ever be able to overcome these feelings? or they ve become a part of my personality? I wish to live a life free of medication & complete self reliance. Able to communicate with myself, Be social, & grow in my career as well as financially. Cause, then only I ll not just be able to prove to myself but others as well. Humbly request you to reply as early as possible.

I just received my latest lipid panel results: Total Chol. 233, Triglyc. 75, HDL 51, LDL 167. My doctor is concerned about the LDL result but I read many articles about ratios between the numbers that are more important since they tend to differentiate "good LDL" vs. "bad LDL". Any comments to clarify? Thanks!
|
Hi, I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern regarding cholesterol levels. You have high LDL. LDL is bad cholesterol. It increases the risk of coronary heart disease. Same way HDL is good cholesterol its level 51 is optimal. But overall high LDL also increase the ratio of LDL to HDL. So it increases the risk. You should concern about your LDL cholesterol level. And you should start treatment accordingly. You can take Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions then you can ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi.noted history of gallbladder pathology. If it is secondary to gallstones and your symptoms are occurring frequently and increasing in severity, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. What you have is chronic cholecystitis, probably secondary to cholelithiasis (gallstones). The most important thing to take note here is that an elective or scheduled cholecystectomy has better post-operative outcomes and less risk of developing complications as compared to the one done emergently. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, blood count, etc.) and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Definitive treatment for gallstones is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder along with the stones. It can be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

my urologist recently told me i have an enlarged prostate and low flow urination. he gave me 8mg rapaflo about 30 days ago, i take 1 pill before bedtime. now i noticed when i have sex i do not ejaculate, it feels like im orgasming for a second or two, but no ejacualate. is this related to the enlarged prostate? my next drs appt is in 3 weeks
|
Your medicine could be the cause for the problem. It would be better to change your medicine to some other medicines for your prostate. The prostate problem itself does not usually lead to ejaculation problems. Take care and feel free to ask us again if need be.

My daughter is 33 years old has 1 child and a bruise keeps coming back on the curve of her back in the same spot. Very painful. It appears about every two weeks and then she gets a kidney infection. This has been going on for about 8 years. She has seen just about every specialist...No one knows.
|
Dear User, Im not surprised of these symptoms. In fact, bacteremia is often preceded by lumbar pain. Then, fever comes. On the other hand, maybe there is some kind of primary or secondary vesicalureteral reflux, that can be studied by either contrast voiding cystourethrogram (CUG) or radionuclide histogram (RNC). Then, depending on the abnormality (if any) demonstrated by CUG, there are several solutions, both medical or surgical. Let me know,

My right shin has some red discoloration, feels bruised to the touch and when I stretch and some swelling. Has been this way for about three months. I have not hit my shin on anything. I am 53 years old and a female. I am currently on a 1200 calorie diet prescribed by my physician and have a trainer at the gym that has me on a workout program. The only meds I take are for my migraines. I have not brought this to my physician s attention at this time, but am starting to worry more about it. My son, who is a paramedic, says I should have it x-rayed or an MRI done. What say you?
|
Hi Persistent red discoloration on shin, of recent origin with hypersensitivity and swelling needs proper workup. Your paramedic son is right -you should undergo investigations like Blood counts, Sugar and an MRI to investigate the red discoloration on your shin.

sweating, shaking with fine hand tremors, has a flushed face, and rapid pulse. Appearance is neat but speech is rambling, at times incoherent. The client shrinks away at sudden movements & seems fearful. The client suddenly clutches his/her chest & drops to the floor.

Hi, Rectal fissure is a difficult condition to treat. If you're getting relief with the current treatment please continue till you get complete relief. Mastectomy has no direct relation except constipation (due to bed rest and change of diet) which you will have to take care. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi im 14 and i have a small fairly hard lump behind my right ear like on the bone .. it is kind of pointy and i have it for over two years its not red or sore and it hasn t gotten any bigger.. i wasn t really ever worried about it until now when i realized that it could be a serious thing and i have started touching it a lot lately and one day it is about the size of a pea and the next it is smaller and then i start touching it like mad and it gets bigger again.. today i noticed that it seems to be lower than yesterday so i think it has moved a little.. do you know what it is and is it serious?
|
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type). These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hello. I m a 22 year old, male, college student. I get abdominal pain (like bloating ) if I concentrate intensely. The pain is more common while I m sitting and working/studying. The pain is also accompanied by moving sensations in my abdomen and gas. I have been having this trouble for the past 7-8 months. I went to a C.R.N.P but she could not diagnose anything specific. What could be wrong and what should I do resolve the problem? Thank you

Hi there, i have a very sore pimple on my nipple, it looks like a pimple only because it has become a small hole. the area where the pimple is has become sore, red and a little warm when i touch it. the side of my armpit hurts and also sharp pains through to my arm. is this an infection? also i have breast implants under muscle.
|
Hello. Thank you for sharing your concern with us. It does sound like it might be an infection-the armpit hurting suggests that you might have some inflamed lymph nodes. The pimple that you are noticing now might have been there for a while and the small hole that you are talking about might be what is left of the pimple, which might have Chat Doctor. I would suggest that you visit a doctor for a check-up and to have this problem looked into, especially since you have a breast implant. You might need some antibiotics to clear the infection, although the decision for antibiotics will be left at the discretion of your primary care physician. All in all, I think that it is better for you not to ignore the situation and to seek medical help with your primary care doctor. In most likelihood, it is just an infection and hopefully your symptoms will resolve with the appropriate treatment. I hope that my advice was helpful. Best regards

Hello, as you suspected it might be a kidney stone in any of the tract from kidney up to the bladder. I would suggest you to get a USG scan of abdomen to rule out any presence of stone anywhere in the urinary tract. I hope I have helped your question. Thank you

I m 39 and have been taking diovan for high blood pressure for 4 years. This past year I have gained about 30 pounds and I have had 2 or 3 episodes of high blood pressure. One example, I started having a headache after lunch and by 5pm I was at ER with 200/101. Doctors did several EKG s, blood work, stayed over night for stress test next morning, echocardio gram, xrays...etc. I followed up with cardiologist who suggested diet changes and recording BP. So now for about 3 months all has been good, but the last 2 days I am experiencing another episode . Headaches with 135/99 and 141/96. Could this be related to my menstrual cycle? I just ended this month s cycle. Just looking for answers that maybe could be related to something else.
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that the headaches do not seem to be related to high blood pressure, as your actual blood pressure values are within the normal ranges or slightly elevated. In my opinion the headaches could be related to the menstrual cycle or tension type headache. For this reason, I would recommend trying acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the headaches. Regarding high blood pressure values, I would recommend trying to lose some pounds and perform a lot of physical activity in order to have lower blood pressure values naturally. Reducing salt and caffeine intake would also help. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

two years ago i was diagnosed with deranged liver caused by drnkingi had a bloodtest last week after not drinking beer for two weeks which gave the following results.SGOT/AST H 47...........SGPT/ALT.H 78do these figures suggest significant liver damage?
|
Thank you for posting query at Chat Doctor. Further evaluation needed.what's your age? Height? Weight?are you take any sort of medication?viral serology>?ultrasound abdomen. Anyhow, increase in the level of liver enzymes reflect an INJURY to the Liver. Medically, the condition is known as "Hepatitis". Its maybe due to viral infection, excess fat, gall stones, excess alcohol, excess iron, and so on. Virus and alcohol are most common. Slightly elevated should NOT be concerning but a level more than 2 times the upper limit should be evaluated. Did you get Herb and C viral serology?and get a "Lipid Profile" test. Liver enzymes take one to two months to return to normal.- abstinence from "Alcohol and Chat Doctor. - use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-recheck liver enzymes after 4 weeks.- reduce weight if overweight wish you good health. Further queries are welcomed. Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge.

I had a broken tooth they had to do a root canal on. Now the oral surgeon said the tooth on either side is dying. They did a root canal on one and will probably do the other on Monday. My concern is now a fourth tooth is feeling pain, the next one in line. I wonder if I need to see an MD about nerve damage or bone issues.
|
Hello, I completely understand your concern about the toothache. Dental pain surely annoys you. Reading your question, I guess you have a high carries index which is why the dentist has suggested you for a root canal treatment. There would be a deep cavity in your tooth which is why you feel the pain. I do not suspect any bone or neurological damage. Get your dental x-ray done and depending upon the depth of the cavity, the doctor would suggest you to go in for a simple filling or a root canal treatment. The earlier you visit a dentist, the better it is ! Hope this helps. Take good care

I believe that I have a sinus infection. I have a few pills from January last year when I had similar symptoms. They are amox-clav 875-125. I have five of these. Is it ok to take them? I originally was given 14 of these. I did take nine of them at that time.
|
Hello, Sinus infection is usually treated with a course of antibiotics and decongestant medications. Along with it, you need to take some supportive measures as well to get a quicker relief from the symptoms. Kindly take antibiotic course of Amox-Clav twice a day for 5 days. Along with it, you need to take decongestant medication containing Chlorpheniramine Male ate with Phenylephrine. You also need to take supportive measures like steam inhalation twice daily and doing salt water gargling with warm water twice daily. Kindly do not consume any cold items like cool Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I have a really tiny wart on my pointer finger. I m not sure if it s even a wart, it s that small. Smaller than a pencil eraser.

I am 26 years old and have had all of the HPV vaccines as a teenager.

I always feel light headed like Im going to pass out feel like there is pressure in ears and the doctor says there is no ear infection or fluid the vein right behind my ear lubes feel as if it is swelled... One doctor says it could be tmj another says vertigo.... It just started 3 months ago ... I dont feel the room as a spinning affect but more like Im just light headed and going to pass out

Hi!welcome to Chat Doctor! Lightheadedness however is a common complaint in people having low blood pressure. When the blood pressure is too low, not enough oxygen-rich blood is being delivered to the brain, and its function can be affected. Low blood pressure may be the result of an underlying illness or disease, or it may be a normal physiologic condition. Some common reasons for low blood pressure include Anemia and deny Chat Doctor. Laryngitis can also cause fullness in ears and lightheadedness, but your doctor has already examined you and said there is no ear infection. Get your blood pressure and hemoglobin checked. Hope this helps you! Take care!

Hi Doctor, I have a mild tooth ache from last 4-5 months, i consulted a doctor and she said i need to operate my wisdom tooth as it is not in the proper position and needs to be taken out. The wisdom tooth on both the sides are in same inclined position but i have pain on only right side. This is creating a gap in between chew and wisdom teeth and causing cavity. Is it necessary to operte it or can it be done with filling and medicines?
|
Hi thanks for the query, As your wisdom teeth is not properly aligned and is causing pain, so extraction is advisable. Wisdom teeth are supposed to be the extra teeth which serve no role. So better consult your dentist for extraction of it because taking painkillers and antibiotics is not the definitive treatment. Maintain oral hygiene. Take care

I have been having mild tooth discomfort for a while behind my right back molar but this morning i woke up in a lot of pain. i felt like my gum was so swollen that it was about to cover up my back tooth. I gargled salt water and took some Tylenol and a little bit later a pocket of fluid like pus busted. It was yellow and tasted terrible. If i had an a gum abscess and the pocket of fluid busted do i still need to see a dentist or did the problem fix itself?

My doctor wants me to take a pregnancy test just 12 days past ovulation and 24 days since day one of my period. If I don t do ivf this month I ll have to wait an additoinal month and risk not getting insurance coverage for another cycle since I ll be 44 in April. Is it safe to do a blood test this early and have it be reliable? Oh also my periods used to be 25 days before I had two iuis and one ivf , the last two months they have been 30 day cycles.
|
Yes only blood test can tell so early that you are pregnant or not. UPT becomes positive Only after the missed period. So go for it.

Hi! Im 27. We are married last 2011. We tried to get me pregnant about 2 months but no success till my husband left to work abroad. He came back and we tried but still no success. Iam a 33 days cycle and i mestruate every month. We consulted an obgyne she putted me on ovamit for 5days. Hubbys sperm count is normal. Do i have the abilty to conceive? And if theres a possibility to menstruate but no ovulation at all? Help! Thanks
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Not getting pregnant within two months of regular contact is not a big thing to be worried. If you are not able to conceive even after 6 months of regular contact then you need to go for investigations. It is possible to have occasional ovulatory cycles in spite of you having regular periods. The frequency of sex during these two months also matters. Ultrasound examination for follicular study during the expected ovulatory period will reveal the presence of ovulation. Other factors like tubal block, cervical factors, Congenital anomalies, hormonal factors and immunological factors are to be investigated to find out the causes for infertility if you have not conceived even after 6 months. Wish you best of luck. Chat Doctor. Morgan

Today early morning my wife take more sleeping tablet. its for my moms tab. The tablet name is risperidone tab 2mg & imiz -2 . she take each 8 tab. i m given some salted water. then she take vomit. but she getting sleepy and very tired. what i do next treatment.
|
Hello, She needs to be sent to the hospital for at least two reasons. One is that she will need good monitoring to rule out poisoning and serious problems related to this. She may have ingested even a higher number of tablets. The second reason is related to possible suicidal ideas, plans and actions. She may be having severe depression which may be causing her suicidal attempts. This is an emergent situation and needs prompt and fast intervention. I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

3 days ago I had a severe allergic reaction. I was eating grapes, apples etc from a Starbucks protein pack. All foods that I eat regularly. Following the allergic reaction I have felt fluish, with a headache, heartburn fatigue and nausea caused by strong sense of smell. Urine is also darker than usual Am not pregnant. 45 yr old female.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Allergic reactions can manifest in different ways, most commonly as skin rashes though abdominal symptoms can occur in some persons. Heartburn does not normally occur with allergies but in reflux which can also be associated with nausea. To determine if you are allergic to the fruits that you were using, you should consider an allergy test. This can be in the form of blood tests or skin prick testing. If the tests show that you are allergic to one or more of these then you would need to eliminate them from your diet. I hope this helps

I am 23 years old and i had transvaginal ultrasound for follicle maturation(dated 8 march 2011). my report is :para 0+0, The uterus is anteverted & normal size, measuring 6.2x2.4x3.6cm, The endometral thickness is approx 1.1cm, Right Ovary measuring: 3.3x2.4cm(Showing multiple follicles). Largest follicle measuring 1.2x1.0cm. Left Ovary: Left ovary measuring: 3.0x2.0cm(Showing multiple follicles). Largest follicle measuring 1.7x1.7cm. No adnexal mass & no free fluid seen in cul-de-sac. IMPRESSION: Mature follicles seen in left ovary. please tell me my report is ok or not.one year ago i married but no babby why i have any problem in my report please advice me if my report is ok tell me any advice for my husbant. if any english mistake in above mention detail please correct.i am waiting for your kind and soon reply.
|
So far the report seems to be normal as far as the development and maturation of the follicles is concerned. Now you have to keep a watch on when the follicle ruptures and the ovum is released. On that day, plan your intercourse to increase the chances of fertilization. If the follicle does not rupture, then probably your Gynecologist will give you an injection for the ovulation. Have intercourse the very next or same day of the injection. What about the rest of investigations like patency of the tubes, thickness of uterine lining, husbands sperm count, etc. Please keep me informed so that I can guide you further. You can contact me directly also, or through elite question.

Hi. This looks to be lipoma as this is not painful, and you do not have any other symptoms. You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25 mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

Workup should be done to investigate the cause of your weakness. Serum electrolytes, and not just Potassium, should be requested. Also, blood sugar and. Other parameters should also be done as to investigate on the cause of your weakness. And proper management and treatment should follow.

Hi, I feel like I have air bubbles in my chest... I find relief when I switch positions, but it comes back. Ive also felt discomfort in my left arm and Im feeling very sluggish... Im 36 years and im a little worried it could be my heart. could it? ive checked my pulse and its been normal...
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac diseases for your symptoms. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes gaseous distention can also give air bubbles sensations in chest. So take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily on empty stomach.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, I am very worried as I had my first icsi 14 days ago, 3 day embryo. Was good quality the embryologist said. I just realised that I have dark brown green ish discharge , I had white discharge since embryo transfer all day every day till now?? I don t know is that a bad sign? My test is on Friday, I had mild cramps since the transfer and for last 3 days head aches. I don t have any period ache, normally I am in agony every month. Is there a chance that still everything could be ok? I am 31, had 11 eggs , one week injections , Regards Maggie

Hello, Thanks for the query. Your symptoms of spotting per vagina with pain abdomen is something to be concerned about. Get an Ultrasound abdomen done to rule out early chances of miscarriage/ sub chorionic hemorrhage. Don't worry you still have chances of continuation of pregnancy. Studies have shown that 50% women with first trimester spotting continue their pregnancy and deliver a healthy child. Take care, Chat Doctor.

I just came from the Oral Surgeon and he examined me for a small (no pain) smooth white spot in the vascular ducts on the underside of my tongue. He advised me to just continue to watch it and return in 3 months for reevaluation. I am trying to recall the name that he used to identify this spot. (something like Phibolist) He said it was a calcium deposit similar to a kidney stone. Do you possibly know the name of this stone?
|
Sialoliths may be the name mentioned to you. Have you been told that your salivary gland duct is blocked? Calcium deposits under the tongue are not uncommon. Your salivary flow is important to the health of your mouth. Salivary flow reduction can cause Chat Doctor. Wharton's Duct is located under the tongue. You can try to stimulate the flow of saliva by sucking on something sour such as a lemon. Increased flow can push out calcium deposits and prevent the need for surgical removal. A Phlebolith, by definition, is a calcification in a vein or blood vessel. Vascular malformations may present with these. Sometimes, although present at birth, these may become prominent or increase later in life. Swelling may become evident. The phlebitis may be seen on an x-ray. Additional studies including ultrasound and MRI may be required to determine vessel involvement. Hematomas are common with swelling, but less common with a phlebolith association in the mouth.

I am pregnant and have been noticing mucous in my stools sometimes. I ve had constipation but tonight after eating Spanish food i had to go to the toilet immediately. There was a strong odour to my stools and i noticed white curled strings in the faeces as well. It was not moving, but im worried it could be worms!
|
HI. Speak to your doctor about this, and also try and purchase a sterile container from any medical store or grocery store and collect a sample of what you saw when you pass it once again (if?). Deposit this sample to a medical center for a stool analysis. Best wishes.

My daughter is 6 years old and she has been wetting herself in school everyday. I ve talked to her, restrict her beverage intake to nothing after 8 pm, and sometimes she is dry in the morning and sometimes she is wet. What else should I do to keep this from happening?
|
HI your child may be having a problem referred as Incontinence because she had daytime wetting also according to your history. Having intermittent bed-wetting can be there in 2-5% of the child Chat Doctor. But, please consult a pediatric nephrologist /urologist as it needs more history and examination to pinpoint the cause. Happy to help you further if you can elucidate the complaint further as I will be treating these complaints in my clinic. Thanks

I was told I have kidney stones. this was a shock to me due to the fact I have no symptoms. I went to get an ultra sound because under my ribs was hurting bad and I had a lot of weight loss. They are having me strain my urine and all I see are little black things that look like splinters. what is going on
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can understand your anxiety. An ultrasound scan can detect stones in the kidney. A CT scan can accurately detect the stones on a plain film. An urine routine may give an indication of possibility of a stone. You need to get following blood tests done, in view of weight loss :1. Blood routine, RBS,LFT, creatinine and platelets.2. Fasting blood lipid profile, free T4 and TSH. You may send the reports here for an expert opinion.

Hi Doctor, What does hb level 5 indicates in blood . I ve been taking Ferro-f-tab (which contains elemental iron 100 mg & folic acid 350 mg) twice a day for the last two months. Does not seem to be helping me much. are there any MD doctors in Australia who can help? Could increase in dose of these tabs help or some injections or tonic. Thanks.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Thank you for your query. A Hemoglobin level of 5, indicates anemia. The Ferro-f-tab has been prescribed to correct this. But in clinical practice a hemoglobin level of 5 would require blood transfusion for proper correction. Iron tablets do help, but usually take a long period of time and are mostly prescribed when there is border-line anemia. I suggest you discuss the possibility of a blood transfusion with your medical care provider. I hope I have succeeded in answering your questions, you could write back to us anytime for further clarifications. Best wishes.

Hello, Im 31 years old, i did 3 times SGPT test, the first time it was 88 , second 99 and 3rd time 126.In my test only the SGPT is high and all the other result are very gd, i drink slchool once or twice per month, but always before 15 days i dont drink alchool, i drink a lot of water, but i was so stresses at work for a while. I dont take any type of medicines, i dont smoke . most of my food are healthy, Can u plz advise what to do to reduce the SGPT level to the normal? And what i need to eat, what type of vegetables is advisable to eat and now im doing sports exercises each day, i have hg 1.71 mtr , wt 77, thank you
|
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. SGPT or alpine aminotranferase (A L T) is primarily found in liver. The normal value of A L T is 5-50 I U. In your case as this level is progressively increasing. Your food is healthy, and you are doing regular exercise that's a good thing. In my opinion get in ultrasound of liver with M R I so that exact reason of elevation of A L T (SGPT) can be found out. Consult a gastroenterologist and get his opinion as diet alone will not be able to cure this level. Good luck.

Greetings Very difficult to comment without seeing pictures. If it is itching you need to rule out fungal infection. Or else it could be multiple sebaceous cysts on the scrotum. You need to consult a skin specialist. Hope my answer helps you. Regards

hello sir, My granpa is sufferring from Cancer, there is a lump in his throat & he has a lot of difficulty in eating food. in fact now adays he is just taking semi solid khichdi and milk. doctors in govt hospital told us that his cancer is at advance stage and now well have to take him to SUFDURJUNG HOSPITAL in delhi. but i saw that there is no facility for cancer treatment in that hospital however there is one in the AIIMS just opposite to that.. please advise what shuld I do?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have esophagus cancer. If it is advanced stage then surgery is not possible. Treatment of choice remains chemotherapy and radiotherapy. For that you should go to fully equipped hospital with all facilities. You can go to AIMS hospital or other and start treatment as early as possible. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Arm tingling and numb,,little spider veins showing up above bicep, below rotator cup I have lifted heavy weights all winter and noticed just at the top of my right arm bicep little bluish spider veins that are continuing to expand around the area. my right hand and arm keep tingling and losing feeling as if e somewhere. ust woke up this morning with right arm numb and and feels like that arm alone has just been through a workout like it feels puffed and is also a darker color as if there is no good amount of oxygen getting to the arm or the blood flow is being cut off by a pinched nerve. But why are these little bluish purple veins showing up just below my rotator cup at the top of my bicep and seeming to spread every day I look at it?
|
Hi don't worry about vein as its normal. After some days of exercise or other work chance of change in size, position of vein is there. Normally they change its position .when u have good muscle mass, they need more oxygen so more deoxygenated blood in vain, so they look like more prominent

hi im 16 and my girlfriend is 14 and we had sex for the first time about a month ago few days after her period ended and we had sex 2 more times after that and we used condoms in all of the time and yesterday she told me that she didnt got her period yet and that she is late 5 or 6 days can you give a answer for that please we are freaking out!
|
Hello, First, having sex within 5 days after ending period is very much safe but using condom has near about 14% failure rate. Though, it depends on fertile period or ovulation time. On the other hand, 1-7 days period date alteration is normal thing and mostly occurs due to hormonal imbalance and stress/ mental upset. Therefore, I suggest her to wait at least 7 days to get normal period and if she does not get it, then she must undergo one home pregnancy test initially and later one blood test for beta-ChatDoctor to confirm or exclude pregnancy. Following test reports, consult with your doctor for next line of management. In the meantime, she must take balanced diet, avoid stress, Chat Doctor. Be well & always practice safe sex.

I have had MGUS for two years, with mildly high calcium levels, also two painless lumps for two years in lymtph nodes in my groin, I have had a lytic lesion on my humerus in my left arm and recently, three weeks ago developed a golf sized lump on my forearm bone which is mildly painful. My doctor put the arm lump off as a bone spur but she did not have my medical records yet and didnt know I have had MGUS for years, Do you think this is anything I should have biopsied?
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you have mugs from many years and recently develop lytic lesion and some lump then you have very high chance of developing multiple myeloma. You should go for protein electrophoresis and biopsy of lump. If needed also go for bone marrow examination. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi I have went to the doctor because Im trying to conceive and Ive got sad news that my eggs are not releasing. I would like to know if I should give up the hope of becoming a mom or is there hope that there is something that I can do that will guarantee me that I will get pregnant. And also is my condition a very bad one?
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. I have read & understood your query. POD is a menstrual problem where ovulation is disturbed & so the menstrual cycle remains nonambulatory & irregular, thus posing a problem in conception. This problem is seen more frequently these days being mainly a problem due to lifestyle changes. * Still you need not worry, its methodical management can reduce its bad effects like infertility/ diabetes etc. To start with detailed physical examination / investigations (CBC, Thyroid function tests, USG with ovulation study, hormonal estimation, insulin resistance test)The treatment plan is then decided - - Weight reduction (regular exercises/ low calorie diet, are advised. A small amount of weight loss can correct the hormonal imbalance. Leaving smoking helps. - Hormonal imbalance can be controlled with Cyclical oral contraceptives. - Medicines like Metformin, Camphene are tried to stimulate ovulation - If nothing helps, surgical Chat Doctor. * For this you should approach a gynecologist & after pathological tests. Follow her instructions. You will get positive results. Thanks.

I have had a head cold then a chest cold couple day break then the cold came back. Then flu symptons for over a week along with the cold. Most of the past three weeks,along with all this, I`ve had a stong pain coming and going in my right lung. The pain also goes into my back. It causes heartburn and alot of pain. I`m a smoker but have only had 3 cigs in the past week. I seem to be getting better other than a slight cold but the pain is still there. What are your thoughts?
|
Your symptoms suggest that you might be suffering for a chest infection with reactive collection of fluid around the lungs. Get a X-ray chest done and visit your doctor fir further treatment.

I had a mitral valve repair in July of 2009. Last Wednesday at my annual physical my PCP said I had an abnormal EKG ( he said it showed a possible problem with the right side of my heart ). I have felt pressure in my chest especially when I exercise & just a little bit when at rest for about the last 6 weeks which I ignored until my EKG result. I have an appointment with my cardiologist in 9 days. What do you think are the possibilities? Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Howard Watt
|
Hello, More and exact information about the status of mitral repair and the right heart will be available as we get a 2 D echocardiography done. The cause of the same depends on the reason why mitral valve repair was done. Generally the possibilities are 1) Higher lung pressure causing right valve leak, dilatation or decreased pumping 2) The repair has lived its time as its 7 years, and the disease might have progressed 3) Any new mitral disease 4) In previous era, tricuspid valve was not repaired even if it had moderate to severe disease considering its self healed after mitral repair. So the same may have progressed 5) Fall in function of left beret post mitral repair. There can be Hun Chat Doctor. The treatment for the same is based on etiology. Regards

HI I have a 9month old son he s had a bad cough for 2weeks plus I took him to the doctors 2 weeks ago they said his chest was clear however I went back on friday due to him starting to throw back food and they issued him with amoxycillin due to having a noisy chest on one side. I have fed him toast today but isn t interested really in eating but its hard trying to get fluids into him so tried him with soup tonight, he ate it then immediately afterwards threw up he has done this the past 3 nights. Is there anything I can give him which will help him get over this??? Or what foods are good for him to try keep his strength up?? He also has a small hard lump on his chest bone which looks like a bruise could this be due to his coughing or could it be he s been trying to crawl continously??
|
Dear parent, It seems your child is suffering from respiratory infection. He is unable to eat because of mucus he is ingesting. He cannot spit. This mucus is sticky so it doesn't pass ahead in intestine, because of small human. And then child vomits out. Try feeding him after he is relieved. Give him soup, milk, fruit, rice or whit ever he is interested in eating right now. Keep nebulizing him with plain water. He may pass frequent sticky motions as well. Keep in touch with the prescribing doctor for infection part.

Hello Im 15 weeks pregnant and iv been having green poop I did have some cranberry juice and I eat still oatmeal with black berries and cranberries in it can this make my poop green I also have had my gall bladder removed and only take a folic acid pill
|
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is advised. No cranberry juice nor oatmeal or black berries cause green stools. Green stools are caused when your food passes rapidly through your system with some undigested fibers. Also, a diet rich of fibers as yours may cause green stools. Nothing to worry about. Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
