|
Hi, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. This pain goes in a pathway up to the neck where the problem is. Without an exam, I can only give general information, and spinal TB is really hard to get rid of and as it spreads it hits areas and that can include nerves, but it can continue on to give spinal meningitis or total paralysis. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a 3.1cm x 2.2cm x 1.3cm endometrial polyp. Endometrial stripe is measuring 2.2 cm. The polyp has a feeding vessel. I am 46 years old and am not premenopausal according to my blood tests, but I have been suffering from severe anemia for years and iron supplements do not help. I have had every test possible to see if I am bleeding somewhere in my body and this is the only sign of internal bleeding. I have very heavy periods and have excessive brown spotting between periods. Do you think the polyp can be causing my anemia, and if so, would it be necessary to have the polyp removed.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, According to your history, the endometrial polyp is responsible for heavy bleeding and thus anemia. Endometrial polyps which are small are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment. However, in your case the endometrial polyp is large and is causing heavy bleeding and anemia. In such a situation it is advisable to get the polyp removed since it removes the cause of bleeding and thus resolves anemia also. Consult your gynecologist for further work up. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

my 16 month old keeps puking after he drinks sweet tea and he has rash on his genitals (which may be coincidence cause he just got over being sick) but i was wondering what normal blood sugar levels for this age are? when he woke up yesterday without food or drink it was 96, and this evening about thirty minutes having a banana and water it was 123.

Hi, I do not know why you are worried about blood sugar in infant but whatever you are quoting is completely normal and if the kid is active otherwise and not done and lethargic you need not worry about blood sugar levels at all.

My 11 yr old son was kicked in the crutch a few weeks ago and I have now noticed that his testicles seem to be hanging extremely low (lower than they have ever been before). He says they are not painful at all and there is no discolouration in them at all. Should this be a concern for me or is this normal at 11.
|
Hi...testicles hanging far or near to the body will depend on the ambient temperature changes. If the ambient temperature is hot then the testicles will be hanging far from the abdomen and if the ambient temperature is cool then they will be nearer to the abdomen. As there is no pain or discoloration, I do not think it is related to the injury. Regards -

I have had a cough for almost two weeks now. I noticed the chest congestion goes away after lying down and when I wake up it s gone until I have been up for 30 minutes. The congestion starts to come back and about mid day I have been getting sinus pressure and headaches. I have started to notice a tightness in my right jaw as well. Could this be a serious concern? Should I see a dr or is it just bronchitis that will go away soon? I have noticed a slight improvement in the chest congestion but the jaw pain has me worried
|
Hi. I understand your concerns. Cough of 2 weeks is commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. Get a chest x-ray done, a normal rules out lung infection. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Treating sinusitis is also very important as that may be also the cause for cough. You will need a detailed evaluation for the same.

hi, i am experiencing stiffening of my fingers, at first i ignored it but i noticed it happens more often now. Most of it at night. And the lid of my right eye is often pulsating, it has been more than a week now. What could be the cause of my concerns?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your current symptoms. They are most likely due to over-strain of muscles and fatigue. It would improve with rest. However, if you do not get better in a few more days, then, a brain scan should be done to exclude any ischemia (lack of blood flow to the brain). Also, thyroid profile and vitamin B12 level should be checked. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

|
Good evening. Well the wrist monitor is near accurate but still prefer the normal BP apparatus as you can change the medications according to that reading. But your blood pressure is quite high, and you need to adjust your medications as soon as possible to avoid any complications. Hope this information was useful

I recently had my gallbladder removed about 5 weeks ago. I am 24, 100.2 lbs, I have started noticing blood in my stool. First they were loose bloody stool then normal dark bowel movement with blood in the toilet and toilet paper. Could this be due to the surgery? Should I wait it out or call my doctor immediately?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. There are many causes of blood in stools like hemorrhoids fissures, colitis including IBD and malignancy. Since it occurred after surgery in your case, the first possibility is C diff related colitis probably due to antibiotics in the post-operative period. A stool test and a colonoscopy may be done for evaluation. Get medical attention at the earliest. I hope that answers your question.

I have an enlarged spleen with multiple masses. All tests have ruled out cancers. I have a low platlet count and a 6 when low is 30 for vitamin D. I am always sick and tired. Is my spleen not working? when should I have it removed? Is it riskier to keep it.
|
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). You have enlarged skin with low platelet count suggest that you are having hypersplenism with splenomegaly. Your total leukocyte count would also be low. There are many causes of enlarged spleen like infection, myeloproliferative disorder, hyperplastic etc. I will suggest you to take opinion of Hematologist who may suggest for bone marrow procedure and manage accordingly. Your spleen is working that's why your platelet has decreasedOnly when there are complications like spontaneous bleed from any site, recurrent infections etc., then only splenectomy is advised No there is no risk until it causes complications hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.

1Hi Doctor - I feel heaviness and feeling of swelling in my head. Heaviness is from last 2-3 months and i prevails for 1 week and then goes. Post that it comes again and last again for 1 week. I consulted one doctor and he gave me treatment of 15 days antibiotic and anti allergic for sinus . It helped me and complete month of January i was ok. But this feeling has again returned. I have observed mild heaviness/swelling in palms and feet too. I am having sound sleep and dont have nausea . I would like to get this evaluated but bit afraid from any side of neuro disorder.
|
Hello vishalvi2008Thanks for asking question, welcome to ChatDoctorThe swelling or heaviness in head which responded to the antibiotic therapy and again recurred, so there is very high chances of CHRONIC sinusitis of frontal sinus, as it is usually present with light headache and heaviness. Second option we can think is any neurological lesion but usually swelling on hands along with feeling of swelling on head are not features. If you are in doubt and stressed best is to get MR scan done, secondly visit a good doctor for proper treatment of chronic sinusitis as you have to take antibiotics, antihistamines for long. MR scan will also show the sinusitis.Thanks, Hope, I cleared your doubt.

I have very lumpy breasts a doctor checked said it was just muscle but I still worry it is cancer had a mammogram two yrs ago all clear but one breast seems to ache a lot and is bigger it is making me ill can t go back to doctor he will call me a hypochondriac
|
Hi dear thanks for the query on ChatDoctorusually one breast will be slightly larger than other. If the disparity is noticeable and if painful it needs to be ad Chat Doctor. If your age is between 20 and 40 years you need to get ultrasound breast to check for fibroadenomas. If fibroadenomas you have to take vitamin E tablets daily one and prim rose oil tablets once daily for one month these may help with the pain thank you

Hi sir,in past time my father had TB , he was treated & found ok. now it again tb infaction have become , in a city scan & X ray fungal infaction was obsorbed , by chance he was admitted in hospital due to enlargement of lung(left side) a tube was incerted in lung to remove air from lungs , bp is normal ,sugar conrolled ,cheast drain is ok ,he is on artificial oxegen , not able to remove oxegen .he have become very week not able to seat. please help &Advice
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. So, your father is having relapse of tb with fungal infection and complicated by pneumothorax (air in lungs). Honestly speaking, this is not a good sign for prognosis. Pneumothorax in Tb and fungal pneumonia is having poor prognosis. Healing takes very long time in case of active lung infection. So first give him anti-tubercular and antifungal Chat Doctor. He shouldn't keep the tube for at least 1-2 months. If still not improving after 1-2 months, get done thoracoscopic intervention for pneumothorax. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

My eGFR is 52, last year it was 55, year before 60. I had my right kidney removed 20 years ago due to congenital problem and was told my left kidney was completely normal and that I should live a normal life with just one kidney. Is something going wrong with my left kidney?
|
Your EFR is coming down year by year. However, if your age is more than 60 years, probably you won't need dialysis in the future. But avoid painkillers, herbal medicines. Take pure vegetarian food and salt restricted diet. Control sugar and BP if you have. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

what can be done for a woman of 90+ who is unable to get up in the night to urinate, she has adult nappies but has developed a stinging rash from the urine and since she is sitting down for most of the day this is extremely uncomfortable. Is there any product that will prevent the urine from attacking the skin?

I am 48 year old female, in optimal health. I am very active. I do not drink alcohol or smoke (quit both over 15 years ago). Other than a little tennis elbow I have few complaints. My diet consists of vegetables, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts and seeds, low-carb pastas and tortillas made from whole grains, lots of water, 1 cup of coffee and 3 diet sodas a day. I don t eat fast food or junk. I also take a daily multi-vitamin supplement and Aleve twice a day for my tennis elbow. I occasionally enjoy an Atkins nutritional bar (I like that they have no added sugar). I have normally fairly dry skin, I am a redhead with freckles and fair skin (Irish). Just about an hour ago I noticed a cluster of tiny scabs high on my right arm near my shoulder (about where someone would pat you on the arm for a greeting). I don t recall that area feeling particularly itchy recently, or noticing a disturbance in the skin before this. It was a little itchy, which is what led me to the discovery. As soon as I scratched the area, the tiny scabs came off under my fingernails. The skin bled a little. I put hydrogen peroxide on the area and then triple antibiotic ointment. There are about 20 tiny little pink blemishes now (similar to pin-pricks). No bleeding (except for initially) and the area is not itchy, hot, reddened or swollen. Do you have any idea as to what could have caused this? Is there anything else I should look out for?
|
It can be a kind of skin infection most probably (on you query presentation)herpes simplex but for proper evaluation and treatment you need to show it to a dermatologist where in he will prescribe you ointments and medicine hope you find this useful of you need any help can revert

I get severe pain in the finishing stage while passing urine Hi I am 31 yrs old and I get severe pain in the finishing stage while passing urine I am a diabetic from 3 yrs and i take a tablet everyday Is it a kidney problem I take daonil M tablet as I am a type 2 diabetic. I am on medication from 3 yrs. I experience pain in the finishing stage while passing urine. Please advise.

Pain in finishing phase is not very much indicative of kidney problem but indicates urinary tract infection. In Ayurveda, we recommend Joshua GGUL 2 BD. and advice to have a lot of water. In addition to this you can add SY. Ural 2 SF BD. Chat Doctor. Com

my son is 5 months old and weighs 8.1 kg.for last 6 days he was down with col,cough n fever..yesterday he was doing good but thn again today his temprature has gone up to 100.4 and now he is on medication..18th is the date for the final dose of rotavirus and pnuemooccal..is it possible?
|
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Every rise in temperature of your children body doesn't need a course of antibiotics. Occasional fever episodes such as 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit may be due to developing immunity in his body against mild viral infections which are quite common in this age. You need to get worried about this if:1. It's associated with decreased acceptance of feeds, lethargy, excessive sleepiness or irritability.2. If other associated symptoms such as loose stools, vomiting, breathing problems, crying on micturition etc. are present. If he is feeding well, active, alert and playful, then don't worry. You may definitely go for rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines as per schedule. Fever is not at all a contraindication for routine immunizations. Hopefully this will help you. For further questions, you may contact retake care

My dentist told me a few months ago that there seems to be a possible abscess with my lower molar. I don t have insurance so we were going to watch it since there wasn t any associated pain. A couple of days ago I had some pain in my lower jaw so I m going into the dentist to do a follow up xray next week. The pain is gone but tonight I noticed bruising on my neck towards the front below the area on my jaw where the pain was. The bruise is about 3 inches long about 1/2 inche wide, not solid more like a bite mark, it looks like a hicky. Is it something that can wait until morning for my dentist to check?? Thank you, Joy
|
Hi whereas per your symptoms it seems to my belief you are mingling two different problems, must be a chance you have abscess right down under your question tooth which will require a ROOT CANAL TREATMENT.your other problem which is a mark kind could be some insect bite or allergy, but for exact diagnosis could only be made with physical examination to rule out the possibility causing the discoloration of the skin. See a dentist soon, delay your appointment until you can bear the pain. Start with warm saline (half cup Luke warm water+ half tbs salt)rinses at night, it helps in Chat Doctor. Thanxregards

Hello, I am a 36 year old woman, 5ft 3 and about 9 1/2 stone. Over the past few years I have been trying to conceive with my husband with no result. We have recently just started our first cycle of superovulation and I just had a question to ask. During superovulation can your body naturally ovulate without having the hgc injection. Its just i was due to take the injection and i felt some pains as though i was starting to ovulate. I have now taken the injection and i am still feeling the pains. Does this mean i might be ovulating now (at my normal time) and not 36 hours or so after the injection was taken. Its just that i want to get the timing right and as it is a bank holiday weekend i am not able to ask my clinic for a couple of days. If this is the case and i am ovulating now, how long do i have in order to fertilise the egg. Thank you
|
IIN many cases of ovulation induction we don't even prescribe Chat Doctor injection as most women ovulate even without it. The reason the injection is prescribed is to make sure that you ovulate. So it is very much possible that you ovulated before the injection. It is generally said after ovulation the egg remains fertile for 24 hrs. Let me know if you have any other queries. Thanks

Hi-- I have a question. I have Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy and have had many operations on my legs and also heal-cord lenthening. From the surgery, their is a scar on the back of my calf. One random day it got swollen, not sure why or how. Their was pain at the beginning and now their is no pain at all. It has been a few months that my ankle has been swollen and it still is. Is it common for people with Cerebral Palsy to have this issue. What is going on?
|
Hello, In my opinion, the problem may arise from blood circulation in your calf. An ultrasound of your calf is necessary to evaluate correctly this possibility. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a broken tooth second to last molar(wisdom teeth have not came in they are sideways and need to be extracted). I went to a dentist and they used tools that I assumed were sanitized but after they cleaned the area above my broken off tooth I developed a very hard abcess, this was 2 weeks ago and now it formed a head so I popped it to relieve it until I see them the 28th and jellied blood and pus came out, it feels better now but the swelling has made my cheek look puffy and noticeably swollen. Should I take this to the emergency room or wait to see my dentist again?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your query abscess over a broken tooth is due to deep infection in the tooth that is leading to pus formation below the root tips of the tooth. At times infection perforates the bone and the pus gets accumulated in soft tissues leading to lump formation over the gums and swelling of cheek. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and not emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray has to be done. You can be advised Root Canal treatment of tooth followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers if tooth is in condition to be saved. In case of gross damage to tooth extraction is advised. As of now do warm saline gargles bit do not delay the treatment to prevent spread of infection and further complications. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

I don t knom what to do.
|
Hi, Consult an orthopedic and get an X-ray to rule out the fracture. Apply ice packs, and you can take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Diclofenac/Serratiopeptidase combination also. Most probably it will settle by three to four days. You might require a finger immobilizer also. Your orthopedic can help you further. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hey ..well I am 2 months pregnant and when I urinate I see blood and I get worried I have other children 4 to be exact and my youngest is about to be 7 I didn t experience no problems like this with my others I m just concerned and confused could you help me out?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Firstly, I would like to suggest that you confirm where from this blood is coming, from the urethra or from the vagina. If it is from the urethra and if this is a fresh bleeding, it is likely to be from the urethral lining, mostly due to some infection. This needs to be treated as it can lead to a miscarriage if left untreated. If the blood is coming out of the vagina, you should inform your health care provider immediately, take absolute bed rest and avoid all strenuous activity. A sonogram should be taken to note the state of the pregnancy. Further management is accordingly planned. Hope this helps.

If it is from the urethra and if this is a fresh bleeding, it is likely to be from the urethral lining, mostly due to some infection. This needs to be treated as it can lead to a miscarriage if left untreated. If the blood is coming out of the vagina, you should inform your health care provider immediately, take absolute bed rest and avoid all strenuous activity. A sonogram should be taken to note the state of the pregnancy. Further management is accordingly planned. Hope this helps.

tailbone painI woke up this morning with moderate pain on my tail bone. it hurts to sit unless I sit leaning to the left. it hurts to walk. I am an insulin dependent type 1 diabetic. blood sugar controlled by insulin pump, carb counting and exercise. a1c 6.8. I did nothing to cause this problem. what should I do?
|
Hi, I am Chat Doctor. Pain at tail bone - Coccydynia, is a very common problem related to posture, due to pressure of sitting on tailbone. Aim of treatment is to relieve pain and build up the muscles in hip region, to allow weight to be transferred to other bones. I suggest painkillers, muscle relaxants, site bath(sit in a tub of hot water) twice daily, + Exercises for spine and hip muscles. Avoid constipation and sit on a cushioned surface for the time being. Hope for all the best

hi, I was bitten by an unknown insect almost two weeks ago and the inflammation of the bite is still there along with tissue bruising, leaving my skin around the bite discoloured. I have noticed over the past few days after the bite hole if you wish, has raised into a almost puss like spot, however around the skin is still discoloured, inflamed and sore burst and left my skin slightly torn. I have this continuous tingling sensation which gradually increases in pain, almost like a really bad case of pins and needles. the pain starts from the bite down to the sole of my feet. I have no idea what to do about it, and how to treat it. all I have dine thus far is take ibuprofen for the pain and apply an ice pack and on occasion Vaseline around the bite. however nothing seems to be working.

Welcome to Chat Doctor. I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having irritation of skin following an insect bite. These symptoms indicate secondary infection in the skin. I usually treat these conditions by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Application of local antiseptic ointments and hot compression provides rapid relief. Do consult your doctor for examination to confirm the diagnosis and prescription of

over the last two weeks on three separate occasions i have felt as though my heart is being gently squeezed, a bit like a contraction, i can only describe the intensity as like a wave, starting very gently reaching a peak and then tapering off. i am not in any pain but it is a very odd feeling
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having simple muscular spasm but better to rule out any heart diseases first. 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. Simple muscle spasm is more likely in your case. So avoid bad postures in sleep. You can apply warm water pad on affected areas to avoid such contractions. 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.

Periodically (2-3 times per month) over the last few months, I have gotten what appear to be a bruises on the middle joint(s) of my fingers and the remaining portion of my finger gets numb. The area where the bruising appears also gets swollen. I have no recollection of having injured myself and there really isn t any pain, but the swelling and numbness does concern me. Typically, all the symptoms disappear within a day. Thank you.

You could be having bleeding disorder. You need to get tested for bleeding time, Clotting time, PT, apt, INR. Consult your GP.

I have been diagnosed with L4 nerve root compression causing pain in my thigh and outer shin. I have been prescribed Tramadol for the severe pain. Is it important to take non steroidal anti inflammatory medications as well to speed the healing process?
|
No. Analgesics only give symptomatic relief by reducing pain. If neuropathic pain is troublesome then start tab pregabalin. Mention your MRI findings. If significant euro deficit is present then go ahead with surgery. Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.

Hi i have been under a lot of stress , i was un headaces the back of my, i was diagnosed with herpes a yr ago whilei broke out with a rash and ended up with a boil that im taking antibiotics for, i have been sort of weak and a Lil lightheaded but much better than i was, today ifound what seems to me to be inflammation inbetween my shoulders and seems to be the reason for the funny feeling in my head, but the aches have left, no fever was present in any of this what do u think.
|
Hello, Firstly, I think you should get treated for your stress. Herpes is a stress-prone condition that keeps on coming until you improve your general condition. Having the disease and taking antibiotics for long makes you feel weak and that can add to your stress. Try to improve your general health and see a doctor. Wish you speedy recovery.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? How bad is my blood pressure at 150/98? I am a 22 year police officer and weight lifter. A former SWAT team member but I don t run anymore. I lift weights 3 times a week and feel good. I am a non smoker and non drinker. But I do have 3 to 4 diet cokes a day. No coffee. On my annual physicals, my ekg has always been great. An athlete s heart. My bottom number has always been in the upper 80 s however.
|
Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that these blood pressure values are high, but a single high blood pressure value is not an indicator or chronic arterial hypertension. It could be related to psychological stress or physical activity. For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values frequently during the day, in the next days, in sitting position, after 10 minutes of total relax. If your blood pressure values are above the normal ranges (125/85 mmHg), I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests to investigate the possible underlying causes: - a chest X-ray study-complete blood count, PCR, ESR - thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction- blood electrolytes- fasting glucose-kidney and liver function tests-cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels for possible a Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

HI Im 23 years old, a year ago I was living in south america and got a bad case of what i thought was tonsillitis. After a two week period of antibiotics was able to come back to the states and saw my dr who after doing some lab work diagnose me with Mono. Recently my lab work showed very elevated liver enzymes so i had to see a specialist who found salmonella in my system. Could the original diagnose of mono had been incorrect and all along i had salmonella?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. Yes, it is possible, but mono is more likely since there was throat infection associated with elevated LFT. Salmonella rarely cause LFT elevation unless there was blood poisoning. So I suggest doing blood tests to verify is it mono. This is routine test today. After you establish right diagnosis, the treatment can be started. Wish you good health. Regards.

Hello doctor, Am 30 years old. I am having a problem with my penis. I am getting burning sensation inside my foreskin and I could find some whitish dead tissues/cells when I pull down the foreskin. It stopped many times when I apply some ointments. But not getting rid off it permanently. Please help me.

Hi, It seems that you might be having chronic prostatitis. Common cause is non cleaning Sega collected on glans. Clean Sega daily by averting foreskin while taking shower. Apply triple action cream for few days. Ok and take care.

I want children.. I have none, I ve suffered a stillborn and one miscarriage. Ever since my still born, my menstrual cramps are severe to the point I m crying in pain then exhausted falling asleep also, the pain is only on my right side. My gyno for my miscarriage did not take into consideration my questions and worries. They said my ultra sound looked healthy. I m trying to get pregnant still new at it but have no idea if there is something wrong I just need advice, even what to ask my gyno next time.
|
Hello, I can understand your concern. First let me ask you some questions are you consciously married? How was your ultrasound of your stillborn (how many months baby) did it show any abnormalities?. It's better for you to go for genetic counselling. That might help you to detect any chromosomal abnormalities. It can be done by a blood test of you and your husband. If its normal then no need to worry otherwise try to avoid travel. Eat healthy stay healthy and also do a blood test to rule out viral infection.

i had unprotected sex twice yesterday with my boyfriend about 30-45 minutes after each other, but he finish in me and im on birth control but lately i havent really had a chance to take it around the same time at night & I ve missed a night taking it, im wondering if i should take plan b
|
Hello misunderstand your concernAccording to your history you missed one pill. But if It is just 24 hours after missing pill then take two tablets simultaneously means missed tablet and that day tablet together. So take birth pills together that prevent the pregnancy but take the remaining tablet regularly. So in this case no need of Play B pill. But if 24 hours has been crossed, and you did not take missed pill then you have to take plan B as early as possible or with in 72 hours after sex to prevent the pregnancy. Hope this will help you Best regards

My 10 yr old daughter has started experiencing light headedness, dizziness, and shaking when playing or practicing sports. While playing soccer she breaths very heavy then hits a wall about 15 min into the game. Recently she has taken up ppitching for softball and during her lessons she sees spots, bright lights, feels like she will pass out, and becomes nausious. Our Dr thought it might be exercise induced asthma but even with the inhaler she still has these issues. Could there be something else I should have her tested for?
|
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Your doctor, before coming to his conclusion, that the problem could be exercise induced asthma, must have gone through ritualistic physical and pathological investigations. In that case, if the investigations are done, the problem could be anxiety and obsession. Anxiety could also cause such symptoms, but there will not be any organic reasons. Your 10-year young girl is learning life and at this age, they learn diseases too. At such an age, obsessing with health problems are also common. She could need health related psychological counseling. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute detail possible. Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome. Good luck. Take care.

If a 15 yr old looses his C5 Vertibrae in a diving accident and it is replaced by a bone from his foot - what are the likely short and long term reprocussions of this. He also has not a broken spine but a compressed and swollen spine from the accident that happened 3 weeks ago. He has been paralyized but has regained feeling in his toes, feet, knees, can feel urinating, passing stool and farting, can feel his shoulder and move one hand and his eyes.
|
The foot should do just fine post replacement. But he obviously has some level of spinal cord injury. His ultimate functional level will likely be determined by where he is at functionally/neurologically at about the 12-week mark. So, he should be a part of a good Spinal Cord Rehabilitation program to maximize his recovery.

my boyfriend has been complaining of pain in his abdomen along with this pain is tenderness, this is located on his left side. he also has been experiencing some heart burn in the morning along with coughing. he states the pain is always there it just is not a severe at times
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If Is were his doctor, after a personal physical examination of his abdomen, I would have advised for an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any intro abdominal organ pathology. I would also advise him not to eat from outside if he does as intestinal infections might creep in through outside food. Some routine tests like stool for ova and cyst, urine routine/microscopic and blood test (CBC) might also aid in making the diagnosis. Till then, he might go for some anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor. Further management would depend on reports of the investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

My son who has mental health problem virtually behaves normally outwardly.Sometimes ago he used to urinate into a bottle and throw it outside.Now he believes that his bed and mattress are not good though we bought a new solid bed and mattress only about a year old.He eats strangely mostly vegetables and plenty of chicken breast with no fat perhaps up to 15 a day.Recently started eating so much banana -up to 2 to 3 bunches up to 15-20 a day. He dances almost all night and sleeps thereafter till past midday. Refuses to sleep on his bed despite buying new mattress for himself few days ago.He is 25.In the past had insisted there was a problem with his jaw when there was nothing wrong,spent so much money seeing all sorts of practitioners.His bizarre behaviour is baffling and puts us under severe stress especially as he has refused to take full dose of medication prescribed and only cuts it and takes about a tenth

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor He is showing abnormal behavior like refusing to sleep on mattress, urinating in bottom then throwing out, eating strangely, refusing to accept the problem and not visiting a doctor. All these problems can occur normally also, but they are causing significant distress so need further evaluation by a Psychiatrist. He might be having abnormal beliefs or delusional ideas that something is wrong. Due to some psychological change he might be showing such abnormal and bizarre symptoms. Other possibility is some mood disorder or more specifically bipolar. He is showing symptoms like dancing all night, refusing to advise of parents etc. These symptoms could raise possibility of some mood disorder. I would advise you to take him to a Psychiatrist for evaluation of symptoms and to make proper diagnosis. Medicines like antipsychotic Chat Doctor. Thanks hope this helps you

A parent just shared that her almost-adult son has displayed voluntary encopresis. There are sometimes remains left in the bathtub. This young man has also begun stealing from people and he describes that it is like an addiction, where he wakes up thinking about stealing. His parents are divorced, he lives with Dad and Step-mother who constantly criticizes him. He was an outstanding baseball player, but began stealing from teammates. He is defiant at home, his grades are falling, hes lost interest in the things he used to do, such as baseball. The adults dont forgive him and theyve stripped him of a phone, a bedroom door, etc. and have given him no way to earn things back. This young man says hes not suicidal; hes using pot. This is such a mental disorder and I dont want to do more harm to him as a school counselor. What type of therapy do you suggest? How do I get the parents to understand this behavior is very much about them?
|
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, he has conduct disorder or cannabis induced psychosis and in that case, he needs proper mental evaluation by psychiatrist. If he has conduct disorder, then he needs behavioral therapy. Being a counselor, you can try positive and negative reinforcement in his case. That would help to modify his behavior. In case of psychosis, he would improve with antipsychotic Chat Doctor. Better to tell them to consult a psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks

Iv recently had major back surgery and was taking paracetamol for a long period thought it was better than codeine based tablets due to co sit patios etc ...just had liver function test and my results come back not good.. My gap said may have been anaesthetic still in my system had only been 3 weeks when I had tests done but could this also be due to paracetamol ?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. This is more likely due to paracetamol than to anesthesia. You should stop taking it and repeat LFT in a month. If this is still raised you should do liver ultrasounds and check viral markers because there can be some liver disorder. Till that, avoid alcohol and follow some hepatoprotective diet. Wish you good health.

HiI have a small lump on my inner upper arm about 1 inch from my inner elbow. The lump is slightly sensitive to touch and I only noticed it a few days ago. There is no bruising in the area to suggest a knock. The lump does move as I can move it with my fingers. Hopefully nothing and just after a bit of advice on whether or not I should see a doctor.Many thanks in advance for your helpSteven
|
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), a fibrous or a lipoma. These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. Management (medical and surgical if indications are found and the lesion is bothersome for you already) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hi, I had my wisdom teeth taken out about a week and a half ago and had no problems what so ever with them. In fact I was off pain medicine on the third day and only had minor swelling to show what had happened. About half an hour I was brushing my teeth and this piece of clear-white tissue came out along with some dark brown streaks on it. It came out of the lower gum socket that has been catching food a lot. Early it had been bothering me and I cleaned it out, but it still felt like there was something in there. So Im wondering if that was in fact part of the important healing process or a piece of food? And if it was important is there any chance that I still might get a dry socket or have it get infected? Sorry about this being so long. Thank you so much!! ~Ana

Hi, jaundice can be due to an obstructive or hemolytic. Specific biological/blood exams and morphology exams (ultrasound) with the aid of a good clinical Acute onset jaundice and chronic, repeated episode and a one time episode are evaluated differently. Associated symptoms like fever, weight loss, past history of alcohol abuse and some Chat Doctor. It is always important to carry out blood tests for Viral hepatitis viruses B and C which are important causes of jaundice. Liver enzymes are however important for monitoring and giving an orientation to cause. You shall also need an ultrasound and other blood tests. The ideal situation would be for you to consult a gastroenterologist to help in making a definitive diagnoses, to orient specific treatments. Avoiding of toxins to the liver while waiting like not taking

Hi I have had pain at the base of my skull on the right side when I exert or strain myself . This has been going on for about 4 weeks. I had a ct scan with imaging and it was negative. I have an appointment with a neuro surgeon in a few weeks but this has really taken a lot out of Me because I don t know what it is Currently taking lorazepam which helps somewhat
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. First, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest anything serious, as your CT scan of the brain is normal. Only very small tumors may get missed on CT scan, which can be picked up on MRI brain. Lorazepam is a Chat Doctor. There is no need to worry at present. Neurosurgery consultation and MRI brain would sort out the issue. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes,

My husband and I are TTC. I was put on clomid on day 3 of my menstral cycle. I am now a week late. I have taken 2 hpt s which resulted in neg. I went to my dr today and got a blood test done, which also came back negative. I have rarely been late for my cycle...only a day or two a few times. I took Benadryl last night. Could I still be pregnant even with the negative results?
|
HI. Thanks for writing. I understand your concern. If the blood test is also negative there is less chance of pregnancy. But you can wait for 1 more week for spontaneous onset of periods. Hope I have answered your query. Good day

My dad had a Heart attack on 22.11.11 and was hospitalised and taken the angiogram, and the report was he has block in one valve about 80% and in another valve he had 60% , Doctor suggests to have a angioplast.

And also let us know the best hospital and doctor for doing the angipplast with the lower cost and what will be the cost to doing that in bangalore.
|
For the blocks ranging from 60 --90% angioplasty is the best solution. Please go ahead with the procedures as early as possible. Best hospital with cheaper rates are Narayana Himalaya centers, still cheaper withhold stent cost is Jayden hospital. You can discuss the cost at the help desk of the following hospitals. All the best

Hello. I have recovered from bronchitis and acute sinusitis. I continue to have excessive mucus production in my sinuses but my nose doesnt run. I am not sneezing as one would with allergies. I feel as though there is a big ball of phlegm or mucus posterior and superior to my uvula, and I feel as though I am constantly swallowing mucus. I can taste food but as soon as I am finished eating the foul taste in my mouth returns. My tongue has a coating on it that my doctor diagnosed as thrush and put me on a liquid oral medicine. The thrush is better but not all the mucus. I also seem to have heartburn when I lay down to sleep at night. Your thoughts?

I am 67 years old, measuring 173 cm and weighing 85kg. After the death of my wife 6 months ago, I got a medium level depression (which I am treating with a daily intake of 1mg vitamin B12). I went to Morocco for work to change my mind. After about 6 weeks I got the flu there. Two brilliant local doctors confirmed to me that I had to take immediately an antibiotic because I supposedly had a pneumonia. I did it and promptly lost about 12kg in about one week, for lack of food intake possibility due to a totally blocked colon and suddenly strong stomach cramps and breathing problems. I returned quickly to Sweden where the emergency Dr. detected immediately asthma generated by a virus. I have managed to get completely rid of the asthma in the lungs since then.Now for the last 6 weeks about, my nose suffers from a strange problem. The problem started with a very strong liquid (non salty tasting) mucus discharge, followed by a total nose blockade. I tried Otrivin and similar products and Claritine with almost no effect.When coming home my nose is usually ok for the first 30 minutes. Afterwards the nose starts plugging until a total block of both nostrils. No mucus is running. When I take the car to go to the nearest shopping mall, my two nostrils open up again slowly over a period of about 30 minutes and become totally normal again in the mall. Returning home, my problem starts again.What is my problem? I am thinking of a birch wood allergy, since 70% of my furniture is made of birch.
|
Hello, thanks for your query, pneumonia not treated properly can show as a respiratory difficulty. Even allergic rhinitis(sneezes, running nose, nasal blocks) untreated can go for allergic asthma. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon for further evaluation(allergic polyp) and treatment. All the best. Take care.

Sir how can I stop my problem of night fall ... m too much stressed. .. I masturbated since 8 years ... now I don t bt pursuing with the problem of night fall... and my penis is small... plz. Help me doctor .. tell me any natural or ayurvedic medicine ... my age just 18 years old :(

Greetings. Inability to control emotions allow a male to get too excited during sleep which causes nightfall & making the organ small which is a normal phenomenon until & otherwise its within the normal physiological limit of an individual. Most of the people have many wrong ideas about nightfall - that it causes ill effects on health like nervous weakness, reduced energy, etc. or sexual problems like impotence in the future all of which is NOT true and these are just myths and misconceptions provided they are within certain limit. For too much stress, i advice you to do activities(Play outdoor games you like / Read books/ get along with friends / meet your relatives/ etc., ) that relaxes mind keeping you fresh.

For too much stress, i advice you to do activities(Play outdoor games you like / Read books/ get along with friends / meet your relatives/ etc., ) that relaxes mind keeping you fresh.

I was in an auto accident three weeks ago and had a 10 inch black and purple bruise on my right breast and collar bone are with hard lumps underneath. The bruising is gone and the hard lumps are slowly going away. However, I am now having pain and burning in my collar bone. It seems to be getting worse. Im wondering if it is a bruise. Thank you.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. It is good that the bruising is gone. The pain and the burning in the collar bone area may be due to either there is a hairline fracture for which you have to get X-ray of the area with a pointer kept on the spot of pain. Another possibility is the sensory nerves are getting entrapped into the scar tissue and giving you a typical burning sensation. This would go away on its own. IF severe, request your Doctor to give medicines for the same.

Hi there,Bleeding or spotting in early pregnancy, may mean a threatened abortion or an ectopic pregnancy. Both these conditions require continuous monitoring and treatment, which is why they are asking you to go back to the hospital for further evaluation. Repeated blood tests and ultrasound are required to know the location and normalcy of the pregnancy. If it is a threatened abortion, there is a high chance of the pregnancy continuing normally, but the first 12 weeks will be difficult. In case of ectopic pregnancy either medical or surgical treatment is definitely required. If your wife is having dizziness then it should not be ignored, and you need to see the doctor as advised. Hope this helps. Regards.

I have a very sensitive gag reflex. I had a tooth extracted last week and when they were doing xrays I was gagging and while I was gagging I felt this horrible headache the worst ever on my forehead and back of head. I also get this type ofheadache when I get an itchy throat and cough and keep coughing. Thanks.
|
Hi, thanks for your query. This is a normal defense mechanism that prevents foreign bodies from entering trachea. Gagging can be managed by distraction techniques, relaxation,systemic desensitization. You can have cold water rinse or a citrus chocolate prior to dental radiographic procedure which helps you a lot. Hope this is helpful.

Hello, im 14 years old and I am currently in Canada but I will soon be residing in Ethiopia. I have consulted an orthodontist in my area and I am in need of braces. But I would really like to get started with my treatment in Ethiopia. I have many friends who have got their braces done there and I am well aware that there are clean, good quality places. I will be staying there for a while and I believe I will save a lot of time by getting started. But the thing is, I am going to come back to Canada. So my question is, will my local orthodontist be able to continue my treatment?
|
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Yes definitely your local orthodontist will be able to continue the treatment in Canada, you just have to keep all the records of your previous orthodontist, as it will help him to know the current condition of your treatment. Hope it will help you.

We have been with my wife several times the past two months. Her bp is running high, she has had MRI/mra, heart cath, nothing shows up there. She also has severe headaches, Friday her cheeks turned blood red and did today. Friday night we happened to see a cardiologist he thinks it is pheochromocytoma or carcinoid syndrome, what do you think?
|
Cheeks turning red means there is increase in blood supply to the cheek. It can be in response to heat, as the body is trying to get rid of heat. It can also happen with different diseases. If it is coming again and again without external cause then it should be investigated, Especially if blood pressure is high then pheochromocytoma can cause.

My grandmother had 11 children but one after the other were dying within months of their birth. It was only my aunt who had survived. My father was born (number 12th child in the house). At his birth the midwife advised my grandparents that -the milk of my grandmother might be poisonous for baby and my grandparents sought help from friends to find a mother who can breastfeed their son (my father). a mother from other faith was found and she nursed my father like her own son. My father and grandparents are all gone but during funeral of my sister in January, 2011, my cousin (the eldest son of my late aunt) mentioned this in one of the family gatherings. We all know about this but since it came back down the memory lane, I was wondering to know, what could have been the cause for those deaths? Can mother milk be poisonous? Also, I would now like to visit Pakistan, the ancestral town of my parents/grandparents/greatgrandparents.. to find the family that helped our grandparents. We are Hindus and had to leave Pakistan at the time of partition in 1947, and the lady that breastfed my father was a muslim. Both aspects are important to me now. Regards

I have had the implanon for nearly 12months, past 2 months I have had a period every week, only for a few days, it is dark brown, clotty, and causes terrible cramps, I have also noticed my stomach has been bloated (never normally bloated and not changed diet in any way) I am a healthy size 8 so cant put it down to lifestyle. I have been off food, with a constant sick feeling, but terribly thirsty.
|
Hello, Implanon is quite effective against unwanted pregnancy and its failure rate near about 0.1%. Here, you need to undergo one TVS scan to exclude possible miscarriage. Other reasons are side effect of implant, hormonal imbalance, unnoticed uterine polyp/ fibroid, adenomyosis, DUB, pelvic infection etc. Following initial test, you need to consult with gynecologist for next investigation and suggestive medication. You may need to use other contraceptive method if implant causes that. Maintain genital hygiene. Take healthy diet with iron supplements. Be well.

Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Usually Escitalopram and clonazepam does not have effect of menses or blood coagulation factors. So you should consult your gynecologist for detailed evaluation and examination. Doctor may advise you to go for blood tests including hologram, bleeding time, clotting time and ultrasound. Treatment would be directed as per cause. You may need iron supplement if your hemoglobin level is low. I hope It will help. Thanks.

Can a baby girl get ring worm in her vagina area? 9 mo old baby, cousin that lives with her was just diagnosed w ring worm, she also today started a yellow greenish discharge from her vagina and has a red ring area around her vagina, no clear ring, just redness in a circle right now
|
Hi, Thankyou for query. Brief answer.get a swab test done first. Detailed answer... Since ring worm can occur using infected towels or sharing clothes with infected person. But as your baby is also discharging, so get a swab test done to differentiate between chlamydia or fungal infection and treat accordingly. For ring worm you may apply statin powder and cortisone cream 2 times a day daily for few days and follow accordingly. Hopefully my answer is helpful. Chat Doctor.

My mother just has ESWL for removing the kidney stone in her left kidney. Just to let you know that she has diabetic and has performed conventional surgery and URS two years ago for the same problem. Unlike those previous therapies, after ESWL my mom s face looks little bit swollen. Could you please let me know what is the possible cause of this?

HiT hanks for the query.ESL by itself is unlikely to cause facial swelling. There are a number of possible reasons to get facial swelling like excess fluid administration, Chat Doctor. If the symptoms persist consult a physician who will examine her and suggest further investigations and treatment. Good luck.

I fell yesterday landing on the left outer area of my left shin. I have arthritis in that knee but more towards the inside of the knee. My skin felt like it had road rash, but the skin didnt break is just rough (I had on jeans, so thats probably why). Now it is numb. Should I be concerned and get this checked out, or is this normal?

Hi I am Chat Doctor. . In my opinion, i don't won't you to be worried and for many patients I suggest icing it for the first 48 hours, NSAIDs painkiller like Advil when needed, massaging it with topical gels, elevation your left leg on a pillow and avoid bending will be effective for such cases. For the numbness actually its quiet rare but happens when trauma or the swelling affect the nerve supplying this area which will subside when swelling decreases. Otherwise, I recommend X-rays to exclude minor fissures or fracture on your shin-bone. Please click THANK YOU and consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I fell yesterday landing on the left outer area of my left shin. I have arthritis in that knee but more towards the inside of the knee. My skin felt like it had road rash, but the skin didnt break is just rough (I had on jeans, so thats probably why). Now it is numb. Should I be concerned and get this checked out, or is this normal?

hi i am 68 years old male my urine test report colour straw, specific gravity-1.014, deposit-absent,appearence-clear, ph-acidic,protein-present,sugar-trace, ketone bodies-nil, bile salts- negetive, bile pigments-negetive, urobilinogen-normal, pus cells 3-4/HPF, rbc-nil, epithelial cells 2-3/hpf, cast nil, crystals nil, others nil. so am i suffering kidney diseases?

Good day! I have reviewed your urinalysis result and I saw the ff abnormalities:1. Sugar - trace - you might be needed to be tested/screened for diabetes mellitus since no sugar should be seen in the urine. The screening test for DM is a fasting blood sugar.2. Pus cells - 3-4/HP This means that there are inflammatory cells in your urine. If you are feeling urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and pain on urination you might UTI and you might need to take antibiotics (e.g. clotrimazole, ciprofloxacin) after consultation with your physician or urologist

Hi, I fell hard on my right side 4 days ago. It hardly hurt at all. Today I went back to work. At my job I sit for hours on end. After work I noticed that it was swelling and black and blue. As time is going by it is becoming very painful. What could this be about? Thank you!
|
Hi, It could be a hematoma. Sometimes, hematomas can grow in size during resorption and may pain also. Change in color is due to clearing of blood products. All you need is some painkillers. If you see further increase in size and pain, consult a surgeon. Hope this helped.

Hello Your symptoms may be due to gall bladder calculus. At present, empirically you can take strong opioid analgesics like tramadol for pain relief. You need clinical correlation and investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, renal function test, liver function test and Ultrasound of abdomen. Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

I ve had headaches for 31 yrs, they have gradually become more frequent, so that in the last 5 yrs or so I have at least one every two days (more troublesome in the winter than summer). Headache pain is no longer confined to the right or left hemisphere, now it can be most anywhere in the head. Pain is fairly mild when the HA starts, taking 4 - 6 hrs to most painful, and lasts 12 - 16 hrs (sometimes 30+ hrs). Only 2 - 4% of the headaches are as painful as they were in the early yrs. I m experiencing pressure (tightness) mostly in my neck and head accompanied by heavy (hard) heart-beat occurring in the the most painful part of the headache. The pressure (tightness) is a dead ringer for that experienced when taking Imitrex . With the last few headaches I can feel and hear the heart beat plainly and notice it is skipping a beat (4 beats then a miss). I have low blood pressure (100 over 70), pulse 58 to low 60 s. I have seen all kinds of doctors. I ve tried just about everything but acupuncture and botox. Began taking allergy shots 2 mos ago, hoping that may be the cause as I did have HA and vomiting as a kid and took shots which greatly relieved that problem. Oh yes I m 69 yrs old.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. As you describe the headache you are facing must be due to mental tensions, anxiety, or may be due to sinusitis. I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. besides other routine tests for confirmation. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards.

Hi, Im Sean Marsh and I have been exorcising constantly since the beginning of this month and have started getting these short delays in my heart with a sudden thud. Is there any cure for this problem? I hear that it is caused from stress. I went for a seven mile walk the other day and it started happening.
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. It is normal to have some ectopic beats and tachycardia during physical activity and anxiety. But a cardiac arrhythmia can not be ruled out, based only on your symptomatology. I recommend consulting with the GP for a physical examination, a resting ECG and some tests like: a routine blood test, thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests, blood sugar and blood electrolytes, to exclude other causes of cardiac arrhythmia. An ambulatory 24-hour ECG monitoring may be necessary to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes,

Hi Doctor ,My wife is suffering for the Joint pain for long time , all the test we did like anti ccp , uric acid, CRP,TLC,DLC, ESR ,blood sugar are within the normal limits. However her pain increases with the swelling in the left leg whenever she walls even for short distance few steps only. Please advice
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. Repeated joint pains can be due to multiple causes at this age the commonest being poly arthralgia. Other causes can be rheumatoid arthritis, gout, inflammatory diseases like SHE, bursitis, fibromyalgia, etc. For proper diagnosis, some blood tests are advisable like- 1. Serum calcium levels.2. Serum Uric acid levels.3. RA factor4. ESR and CRP5. Serum Creatinine6. X-ray of affected joints. You need a thorough clinical examination followed by investigations under the guidance of an orthopedic. Till then for symptomatic relief, you can take over the counter analgesics, do hot fomentation and apply local analgesic gel on the affected areas. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Im 21 years old and am worried about my fertility. I am engaged and have been trying to concieve with my partener for 2 years with no luck my periods have never been regular but have gone from 31-45 days to 4-6 months the last time my period was *regular* i had a intro and external scan in hospital (30mins after i began) and the nurse said my lining was 1.6mm and that i shouldnt be experiencing a period. Im getting very concerned and although i know im still young its having a great impact on my life (crying/depression) please help as all my doctors say is dont worry and im sure itll be fine. Many thanks

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. This could be due to ovulatory cycles. Due to irregular cycles there will be no ovulation which is cause of infertility. I suggest you to get follicular study to know the time of ovulation and plan accordingly. Or you may go for ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. This will help multiple follicles to mature and rupture. Thus increasing chances of pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query. Regards

Hi Dr. Manjunath.About three days ago my daughter was resting her head on my chest. She jerked her body and her head hit my left breast really hard. I immediately felt pain. My breast is still hurting, and I can feel a hard lump above my nipple area. What is this lump? Could the lump further develop into something serious? Thank you.
|
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having some blood collection and induration due to hard blunt hit. Apply ice pack for few days. If swelling and pain increases, consult your doctor. You might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course. Ok and take care.

I was suspected to have Jaundice. The tests of bilirubin showed 3.4 (conj. 0.9 & unconj. 2.5) and 2.2 (conj. 0.8 and unconj. 1.4) and SGPT as 36 and 34. The test for HBsAg was negative (using ELISA method). The ultrasonography of the whole abdomen revealed that only the size of the liver is 139 mm (co-axial length) and spleen is 136 mm (co-axial length), while the rest are fine. The test for Liver Function revealed that everything was fine except the Bilirubin level shows 5.7 (conj. 0.9 & unconj. 4.8) and SGPT as 36. I do not have any vomiting tendency nor do I feel weak. I have a sound sleep, my urine colour is not yellowish, but my eye ball is having some yellowish colour. Sometimes there is formation of gas in the stomach and the stool is not upto the mark. I drink a lot of water (around 4 & 1/2 ltrs.) daily. The doctor has said that this is a harmless jaundice and is due to some enzyme deficiency which is by birth. He also has suggested to lead a normal life and said there is nothing to worry. Now may I please be suggested that if this has really nothing to worry or if there is any medication available to rectify the problem. Looking forward for your valuable reply.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I went yesterday to have my BP check because I have been having strange feeling headaches and it was 140/82; my normal readings are usually between 100-110/70ish range. I am 37 and I am not overweight.

Weight might not have any relation with blood pressure. Kindly get your blood pressure monitored for some time and start an antihypertensive Chat Doctor. It is important to reduce salt intake because sodium is a factor in high blood pressure. Hope it helps. Kindly do not postpone or ignore as a high BP has grave consequences on organs
