The dentist didnt gidnt grind the 2 bones that are in your bottom gums and when i wear them my gum bleed.
|
Hi billy... I would suggest you to visit dentist. If he has made your denture(plate) and you are having problem with that then you should contact him. One of the reason of gum bleed on wearing denture is some sharp edges which is irritating your gum. There are some oral gels, you should do mental massage over gums with that. If in case of loose plate some adhesives are available for its retention. So contact your dentist for correct treatment.

what would cause pain in both legs from lower back down to feet? I have rls really bad at night and when I am on my feet for a while I feel like I can hardly hold myself up, I feel like my legs are giving out. I also am not able to sleep over 4 or 5 hours a night. My hips, knees and ankles ache.
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you.a thorough clinical examination is advised As pain in bilateral legs is due to the pathology of the spine. As the spine releases called as the spinal nerve roots which when trapped leads to such symptoms. Also, the nerve as dual functions of sensory and motor too. Any mild compression on the nerve will lead to any of the symptoms like motor weakness or some sensory issues like pain which can be continuous in nature. Usually with physical therapy and proper vitamins supplement the symptoms can be reduced. As in my clinical practice we recommend a combination of Chat Doctor. As there will be weakness of the muscles of the spine and core team strengthening of it is advised to stabilize the spine and release the compression from the nerve roots. Regards Jay In

Hello doctor, I Donot masturbate like that much on the daily basis. But I have been masturbating from long time ago I can barely remember. I am 30 years old am not married yet and I feel my penis is so week myWalsall seminal is not like that a lot as it was before..
|
Hello dear,First, remove all myth and misconception from your mind regarding masturbation. There is no any harmful effects of masturbation as such. However, if it is done regularly then it will result in thinning of semen with low sperm count. Since you are feeling that you are addicted to masturbation, and it is interfering with your normal functioning, you can try out the following measures:1. Improve your social life by spending more time with friends and relatives.2. Keep your mind active and busy at all times either through curricular or extracurricular activities.3. Have a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey.4. Avoid fast foods & lipid containing diet.5. Avoid smoking & alcohol.6. Stay away from pornograpChatDoctoraterials.7. Keep away stress, think positive.8. Exercise regularly & practice meditation. Wishing you a healthy lifetime care.

Doc does a male yeast infection cause annoying tingling and small flesh colored bumps on the penis?Reason I ask is because i had unprotected sex with a mutual friend and have had tingling and irritation a few days after. Its been about 12 days for the tingling but I have yet to see only small bumps that may or may not be herpes.So im curious to as if I have a yeast infection or herpes.I went to 2 different doctors and they said they could not see any herpes. The second doctor gave me a yeast infection cream to apply and the tingling has gone down tremendously but even after 3 days of applying there still is a hint of tingling and redness.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms are suggesting that you are having fungal infection rather than a viral infection like herpes, because in herpes infection there will be painful blisters, and it will subside by itself. As you are having intense itching it may be a fungal infection, but it should be confirmed by physical examination. As you are applying antifungal cream over the lesions and symptoms have come down. I would suggest you to continue this treatment for another one week, by this time it will come down. If it is not coming down you can try systemic antifungal agents. Thank you.

I had blood in my urine for 5 days and then suddenly stopped. I have no pain or fever and the blood was bright red and came at the end of my stream. Now that it has stopped should I still go see a doctor, or was it probably a kidney stone? I am a 38 year old female and had cervical cancer 9 years ago that resulted in a total hysterectomy, other than that I have no other health issues.
|
Hi and thanks for the query, blood in the urine in the absence of lower urinary tract symptoms like pain on urination, frequent urination or difficulties in holding urine often lead first to the suspicion of a bladder tumor. A urine cytology and urological examination and advice is usually needed in this situation. However, possibilities of urinary tract infections must always be ruled out by carrying out routine urine cultures and anti-biotic sensitivity test. Exposures to paints in the past is an important risk factor to be considered. A past history of having spent time in water logged zone, which could be endemic to Schistosomiasis (S. Histologic) could a possibility to bear in mind too. Consulting with a urologist could be very necessary. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.

Hi. Im am 16 years of age and yesterday I Noticed a Somewhat medium sized( about the size or a quarter or Slightly bigger) bump on my head Close to my ear. It Is Hard and the area around it is Painful.Im Not Not sure What it is. Can someone help? Could it be A tumor?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A bump on your head for a while, that is hard and firm might be a cyst arising from your scalp. It may or may not be arising from the skull. If it has been present for a long time and is slowly growing, then it must be a benign lesion. In benign firm lesion, they can be Osceola, epidermis cyst or Desmond cyst. I would suggest you to consult a neurosurgeon and get a CT scan done if necessary. Most likely it is not a brain tumor and CT scan will tell if it needs to be removed. Hope this helps.

Hi, thank your for posting! I have gone through your query and I understand you concerns. According to your symptoms, I think that you suffer from lumbosacral arthritis. The diagnosis is determined by taking a lumbosacral CT-scanner, abdominal ultrasound, complete blood count, fibrinogen test and urine test. The treatment is made with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and painkillers. You should also contact your neurologist. Take care,

I am using iud, have abdominal mild pain as well as a lower back pain. I sometimes fee discomfort as if the iud is expanding. I have headaches in the morning, and I am always tired. My appetite has changed I no longer enjoy the food I used to like. I am also taking ferous sulphate. I had a pap smear and candida was detected and treated. What could I suffering from

Hello mam! Intra uterine devices are notorious for the kind of symptoms you mentioned. Loss of appetite can be multidimensional. Your abdominal and lower back pain points towards pelvic inflammatory disease. Add folic acids with A to zinc vitamins with ferrous sulfate. This will help your appetite. Other reason for appetite loss can be the routine or stress. You need to have regular 8 hours sleep use some sleeping aids for short duration if necessary.tireless and fatigue and headaches are also because of loss of appetite and PID.try some antispasmodics for the pain and simple acetaminophen for the headaches. And if the symptoms persist you can always remove your IUD and use some alternate contraception. Remember IUD is a foreign agent to the body and any foreigner is never welcomed. It adds to the adhesions, reduces the fertility rates. Increases the chances of ectopic pregnancies, Ashermans syn Chat Doctor. So you need to try coping up or give up and start an alternative way to contractive. Cheers

Hi, I do understand your distress regarding your symptoms. Losing your best friend can be a very traumatic experience. The symptoms that you have mentioned is suggestive of stress leading to depression. I would advise that you talk to your parents regarding your problems and seek a psychiatric consultation.

I am 14 weeks pregnant. Every time I go to the dr my BP is high (usually 128/90). They said its because Im getting nervous there. When I take my BP at home, its running about 123/82. When I lay on my left side it goes down to 116/75. Now when I get up in the morning and take it, I am on my left side and it runs about 110/69. Should I worry or are my nerves getting to me.
|
Hello, This much variation is a normal thing. No need to worry about it. Hospital readings are usually higher because of nervousness And also due to activities like walking etc. prior to measurement. So I think no need to worry especially if there are no symptoms like dizziness, blackouts. Hope this helps you.

A 29 year old male presents with extreme burning and cramping pain upon exertion in the lower limbs. The patient is a competitive marathon runnerand recently ran the New York marathon despite the pain. The patient reports that the pain coincides with the start of physical activity. When the pain was first noticed, it subsided almsot immediately after the completion of physical activity. Over time, the pain has become more acute annd now it takes some time after the cessation of activity for the pain to subside. The patient also reports that recently numbness and and extreme weakness of the calf will result after sustained physical activity.
|
Hello, His symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve. Another possible cause to consider would be a muscle disorder or chronic venous insufficiency in the lower limbs, or a connective tissue disorder. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests: - nerve conduction studies- a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels- CPK plasma levels-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation-A SOT tier. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

2 weeks ago I had loop diathermy treatment after detecting advanced stage 3 pre cancerous cells on my cervix from smears and biopsys. the treatment appeared to be successful but 10hours later I was rushed to hospital with a haemorrhage and had to be taken in for emergency treatment to stop the bleeding.Originally I had been advised not to have sex for 6 weeks, and to take precautions for up to 3 months after that due to the negative impact sperm has on the repairal of the cervix.I have 3 questions:1. Is it safe for me and my partner to perform foreplay externally?2. When can i begin exercise again?3.When will it be safe to have sex now that I have had a cervical haemorrgage?Hope someone can help x thanks
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you.1. Yes, it is very, very safe for you to have foreplay with your partner. Nothing contradicts this.2. You can start to exercise as soon as possible. There is no reason to fear. The greatest fear is with any possible act that can traumatize the cervix and nothing else. If it doesn't involve the vagina, you are safe.3. I will like you to follow up with your doctor. After examining your cervix, he would be able to tell whether the healing has reached levels that can allow you to have sex. Talk the ORGAN who carried out the procedure for follow-up review and recommendations after exams. I hope you find this helpful and it ad Chat Doctor. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.

Hi i have been having abdominal pain and constipation for the past week, i wasnt able to go. for 3 days i took a laxative and i went 4 times, the first time was normal, the other 3 were watery diarrhea, and then the next three days i was eating and i still havent gone poop again. not much abdominal pain anymore though. what should i do?
|
Hi, It sems that you might be having absolute constipation giving this problem. With laxative, you got motion but still constipation persisted. Take fiber containing food.

My daughter 13 started complaining of an itchy patch below her lower lip 2 days ago. The next morning her lip was swollen and there was a pimple with a white head in the same place. She applied heat and popped the pimple to releive the pain as it felt very tight and painful. She took ibuprofen to ease pain and swelling. This morning her lip was really swollen again and pimple is yellow, applied warm cloth to it again and now it seems to be weeping, and red. What is this?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have itchy patch and swollen lip don't worry it can be due to infection in tooth there can be formation of periapical pathology sinus opening. Consult dentist and go for investigations IOPAXray if there is periapical infection then go for Root canal, restoration of tooth. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you.

Hi doctor,I am age 30 years I have been taking Ipill for 1 year like 2 times a week to avoid pregnancy.I missed in july and got pregnant I did not want a baby so used unwanted kit. I and my husband are trying since 3 months to get pregnant but its not happening.Please suggest do I need to visit a gynacaelogist for help?Is it due to usage of Ipill for 1 year I will never get Pregant?Please help
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concerns. Please be reassured that Pill does not affect your fertility. It may only cause temporary irregularity in menstrual cycles. It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like age, BMI, regularity of cycles etc. Since you were pregnant once, you do not seem to have any apparent fertility problems. Relax. You will conceive again. Among couples trying for baby, 80% conceive in the first year and 90% by the end of second year. So don't be stressed. Consult Gynecologist if you do not conceive in a years time. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week. I hope this is helpful. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor.

I have been taking nexito 20 mg for the past 6 months. Now im feeling symptoms of tremors in my fingers. Im 22 years old male. Is this a side-effect of taking nexito? . Im afraid if it will causes impotency. Im also takin Diclorate er-250 mg for a month
|
Hi, Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to next. Decorate can be the cause of this tremor. This is a common complication of this Chat Doctor. But, the dose of Decorate that you are taking is really low. That is why, I would recommend performing some other lab tests (complete blood count for anemia, blood electrolytes and thyroid hormone levels for possible imbalance). If these tests result normal, you should discuss with your doctor on the possibility of stopping Decorate ER. Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Best wishes,

I am a 68 year old male in relatively good shape, non-smoker and non-drinker......have been informed that I have a small growth in my prostate. Test 2001 was 1.81......recent test is 4.66. Should I have a biopsy? The MD is saying yes......I have other older males who say no....I would appreciate your thoughts. Sincerely, Greg Wiechert
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, you should go for biopsy. Rising PSA level in male is having two possibilities 1. BPH that is being prostatic hypertrophy.&2. Prostatic malignancy. There is one more test PSA velocity is used to measure the exact diagnosis if you don't want to do biopsy than you can do this test. High velocity of PSA is suggestive of malignancy. Biopsy will tell you exact nature of malignancy and its possible management. So in my advice you should go for biopsy and then further management. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

Sir, my grandma is suffering from acute kidney problem. the doctors here advised her to go for dialysis treatment thrice a week. Could you please let me know the cost involved in this and also let me know if kidney transplantation can be succesful?? Her age is 65years
|
Hello, Dialysis cost around 4000 to 10000 rupees based on institutions. She can go for kidney transplantation as a last resort but chances for complications including rejection is there, and it is more common in old age. You can find a donor and consider for transplantation. You can consult your nephrologist, and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am experiencing burning and aching in my arms and legs, not the torso. The pain is not alleviated by advil or aleve. During the day I can compartmentalize the pain but during the night it is extremely difficult to handle. One day the pain will disappear and then reappear months later. I have had Lyme Disease at least twice and I used to think this was related but now I am not sure.
|
Residual effects from Lyme disease is neuropathy also the peak of pain is at night which indicates arthritis and neuropathy check for Lyme disease recurrence if not then you need to stay on it b 12 supplements you should be okay within 2 months also try to stay warm at night other possibilities include multiple levels of vertebra spondylosis Hope I was helpful enough Good luck

Good day. My husband has had an inguinal hernia for about a year now and it is getting more and more painful and the bulge is bigger than it has ever been. He manages it very well but when it comes to sex, he produces no sperm at all. We want to have a baby soon but when he ejaculates, there s very little watery substance that comes out. He still has a strong erection and he reaches orgasm but nothing comes out. Please help
|
HelloThanks for query. Your husband has Inguinal Hernia since one year and now facing problem of not ejaculating (An ejaculation).First the problem of an ejaculation can not be due to Inguinal Hernia. This could be either due to one of the following two reasons 1) Retrograde Ejaculation 2) Blockage of the Ejaculatory duct. He needs to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic test done to establish cause of An ejaculation .1) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and Pelvis 2) Trans Rectal Ultrasound Scanning (THUS) 3) Urine examination immediately after sexual intercourse .this will rule out retrograde ejaculation.4) MRI of pelvis this will confirm dilatation of seminal vesicle and confirm blockage of ejaculatory duct. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.

Type 2 diabetic got stung by wasp about 2.5 days ago, initial reaction was local pain. Cooled with ice water, took naproxen and used hydrocortisone cream. No proble until 1.5 days later, finger began to swell and itch...more cream and benadryl. Finger continues to be erythemous and swollen. Blood sugars running about 50 points higher than norm.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were stung by a wasp which can be uncomfortable, but most people recover quickly and without complications. Mild and moderate reactions to wasp stings can be treated at home. You need to wash the sting area with water and soap to remove as much of the venom as possible. Cold pack may be applied over the stung area to reduce swelling and pain. If there is itching you can apply calamine lotion to control the discomfort. Itching and pain can be reduced by Antihistamines like Chlorpheniramine Male ate and Ibuprofen respectively. Thank you.

I have celiac disease and always have upper abdominal pain right below my ribs. Had ultrasound done and didnt show anything. I ate some food a couple weeks ago that was contaminated. Ive had severe pain in my upper stomach. Doctor says he cant find anything wrong. Any suggestions?
|
Hi. As you are a known case of celiac disease You should have avoided contaminated food. Well, a course of antibiotics after the proper blood and stool test should help you. Ultrasonography is not always helpful. This is just to rule out any other problem.

Hi, I had Tinea really bad, I used all the creams, but over a week a painful lump appeared om top of my foot in between my little toe and the one next to it, it was very painful and red, couple of days ago I burst it, and a brown liquid came out...what would it be...??
|
Hi, It seems that there might be having secondary bacterial infection on the part giving this problem. Clean the part and apply triple action cream. Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days to cure bacterial infection. Apart from local application of antifungal cream, go for one oral antifungal medicine course as well. Keep inter digital part clean, Chat Doctor. Take care of cleaning inter digital spaces after taking shower. Ok and take care.

Hi My daughter is 8 months old and had fever, cold, cough for 3-4 days. Urine test was done and found out in the result that pus cells count is 8-10 hpf. Please suggest remedies for this. We have given another sample for culture test and is due in a couple of days time. But in general, are there any natural remedies and is there anything to worry about?
|
Pus cells 10-12/HP in urine indicate urinary tract infection which is the possible source of the fever the child is suffering from. It might also be related to a viral infection which generally causes the cough and cold. You need to visit a doctor and get it treated with a full course of antibiotics. The doctor will be able to subsequently tally using the culture and sensitivity reports if the antibiotics are supposed to be effective in the particular case of your daughter. The main natural remedy to reduce such infection would be to Chat Doctor. It has to backed up with proper antibiotics, and you need not worry if the course is completed. Maintaining proper hygiene is essential.

Sub: Drug Treatment for Parkinson s Disease What is of the counter Chemist name for purchase of the drug ? Drug Sinemet (Levodopa/Carbidopa). Levodopa (also called L-dopa) is the most commonly prescribed and most effective drug for controlling the symptoms of Parkinson s disease, particularly bradykinesia and rigidity. Levodopa is transported to the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine. It is then converted into dopamine for the nerve cells to use as a neurotransmitter.
|
Hello. I have read your message. As you have mentioned, Levodopa -carcinoma combination is one of the best possible medical therapy. However, one can always consider Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. You will need to be evaluated by a team performing DBS to be sure whether you will benefit from the surgery and when to perform the surgery. Best of luck, Chat Doctor.

I am a 71 yr old female who is quite physically active; taking cardio classes about 4 days a week, including weight lifting intervals. I do not ever use higher than 3#s. I m thinking I may have pulled a muscle in my underarm area on left side. under arm quite sore to touch especially as I press into arm pit No lumps are present in arm pit or down toward and in left breast. Been treating with Ibprophen. Been going on for about a week. Seemed better but noticed today not so great. Should I see PCP at this point.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case but better to rule out heart related chest pain first because you are old aged (71 years) and not improving in pain even after taking ibuprofen. So consult doctor and get done ECG and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Along with painkiller Chat Doctor. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 4. Sit with proper back and chest support. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. Stop exercise and weight lifting for 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

### Question: I am a 71 yr old female who is quite physically active; taking cardio classes about 4 days a week, including weight lifting intervals. I do not ever use higher than 3#s. I m thinking I may have pulled a muscle in my underarm area on left side. under arm quite sore to touch especially as I press into arm pit No lumps are present in arm pit or down toward and in left breast. Been treating with Ibprophen. Been going on for about a week. Seemed better but noticed today not so great. Should I see PCP at this point.
### Answer: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case but better to rule out heart related chest pain first because you are old aged (71 years) and not improving in pain even after taking ibuprofen. So consult doctor and get done ECG and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Along with painkiller Chat Doctor. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 4. Sit with proper back and chest support. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. Stop exercise and weight lifting for 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi. i have been suffering from recurring stomach pains and bloating. Doctor attributed cause to acidity. Doctor prescribed omeprazole and ganaton which provided relief. He advised to follow the same medication if it recurs. Its been months since i last felt pain and now theyre back. The problem is i lost the prescription and forgot the dosage.Would you advise taking the same medicines? What is the proper dosage? He gave 20 mg omeprazole and 50mg ganaton.

Hello, thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Since earlier you were the patient of hyper acidity and gastritis. You cured by using antacid treatment. Now symptoms reappear. What is the cause of reappearance? If due to fried food or like that other things which you had taken, previously when these symptoms appeared (first time). If causes are same than nothing to worry. If due to without any cause than it is a matter of concern. If without any cause than get in gastrostomy for any ulcer in stomach or duodenum. Blend diet is best for you. Regards

when i scratch my skin a rash appears that is really itchy. Mostly on my upper back, lower neck and upper chest. it is in these areas that it feels like a sunburn but it is not sunburn. It seems that scratching or touching skin irritates it and rash appears.

I am 16 years old and it has been about 2 years or more since I have a short breath. I always feel like I dont get enough oxygen in my lungs when I am breathing. Therefore, I have to take a very deep breath every time i breath and sometimes I have to do it over and over again. I also get tired very easily. Although I only do a little bit of work or exercise, I can lose my breath easily. And it ends up making me inhale and exhale in a fast timing (if you know what I mean). Sometimes my chest can feels hurt a little but its rarely happen so I never talk about it. I went to a heart doctor and he said it was perfectly fine and he said I dont have asthma. So what could it be?
|
Do you have runny nose or allergy to dust or any cold foodstuffs? Do you hear whistling sound during breathing when you get breathless? Do these symptoms occur more frequently during early morning or late night? If you can relate to any one of these then get a X-ray chest and a pulmonary function test done, and you should consult a chest specialist near your locality.

I m on Loestrin 24 FE for about 7 months now & I m on the second week of white pills and this morning noticed some brown discharge as well as some blood . Not suppose to get my period for another 2 weeks when i start brown pills. Nervous that this is not normal. is this normal? also first time every been on birth control . using to subside period pain.
|
HelloThanks for your query. You seem to be having breakthrough bleedingPLease do not worry, as this is quite NORMAL with pills, particularly in initial months. Continue taking the pills as recommended, do not skip any of them. If the spotting continues, and does not stop within a couple of days, consult your healthcare provider, as you might require another brand with different (slightly higher) doses of estrogen. Remember to take the pills correctly at the same time every day. All the best.

For past 10 years when I push my lower right side of stomach I get pain only when I press with fingers.I am 53 years male, had mri, ct scan , test for kidney stone , hernia , appenidix and all of them were ruled out . Yet sometimes I get same side lower back pain, and kiddney pain at least that s how it seems. Had also virtual colonoscopy using a siemens sensation 4 multi-slice CT scanner, spiral CT images were obtained of the abdomen her eare findingds The colon is well distended. Evaluation of the colon is limited die to mild diffuse residual colonic fluid and stool. The well distended and evacuated portions of the colon are without stricture, obstruction, constricting lesion, definitive evidence of significant gross focal mass freater than 1 cm, or evidence of diverticulitis. The appendix is normal ther eis ill-defined focul soft tissue present in the cecum adjacent tot he ileocecal volave which liekly represents reidual adherent stool, though a small polyp cannot be entirely excluded. Minimul sigmoid colonic diverticulosis is present Is there a natural way of diet to get rid of these possibilities?

Hello Thanks for the query.Your Report is suggestive of mild sigmoid diverticulosisDiverticulosis of the colon affects nearly one-half of individuals older than age 60 years. Fortunately, only 20% of patients with diverticulosis develop symptomatic disease. Asymptomatic diverticular disease discovered on imaging studies or at the time of colonoscopy is best managed by diet alterations. Patients should be instructed to eat a fiber-enriched diet that includes 30 g of fiber each day. Fiber softens the stool and helps prevent constipation. It also can help decrease pressure in the colon and help prevent flare-ups of diverticulitis. High-fiber foods include:Beans and legumes, Bran, whole wheat bread and whole grain cereals such as oatmeal Brown and wild rice, Fruits such as apples, bananas and pearsVegetables such as broccoli, carrots, corn and squash. Chat Doctor. Fluid will help soften your stool. Exercise also promotes bowel movement and helps prevent constipation. The incidence of complicated diverticular disease appears to be increased in people who smoke. Therefore, avoid smoking. Symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease with confirmation of inflammation and infection within the colon should be treated initially with antibiotics and bowel rest. Patients should remain on a limited diet until their pain resolves. For long-term medical management of uncomplicated diverticular disease, rifaximin (a poorly absorbed broad-spectrum antibiotic), is associated with 30% less frequent recurrent symptoms from uncomplicated diverticular disease. Furthermore, the use of probiotics has been shown to decrease the incidence of recurrent attacks. Hope I have answers all your queries.

the liver is mildly echogenic with no hepatic mases are identified the right kidney measures 11.9 x 5.9 x 5.9 the left measures 11.7 x5.3 x5.8 cm there is no hydronephrosis 6 mm possible nonobstructiing stone identified in the left mid kidney what does this mean
|
Hello USG findings indicate fatty changes in liver. Hepatomegaly may be due to deposition of fat in the liver cells. Increased echo texture suggests fatty liver. Most commonly it is due to obesity and sedentary life. It is also related to alcohol intake etc. I suggest investigations like routine hologram, Random blood sugar(RBS), Liver function test(LFT), Lipid profile, Renal function test(RFT) to my patients. Fatty liver is a reversible condition, and it can be reversed by diet and lifestyle changes. You may need some medicines after full investigations. Your findings also suggests 6 mm calculus in mid-pole of left kidney. Since it is non obstructing, you may only need to follow up. You should Chat Doctor. Take Care

hello, Im 19 years old and have a 4 inches penis when erect.. can I still please a girl with that size? Im planning to commit a suicide coz its really embarrasing that I have a very small penis size... what if my girlfriend laugh at me and leave me bcoz of my size... Id rather die than to feel the pain of breaking up with the girl I love.. Sorry my is english is not really good...
|
Hello dear, The size of penis is genetically determined, and it does not increase after a certain limit. But one thing should be known that the size of penis does not determine the potency of an individual. So, stop worrying about this. Also do not get influenced by any over the counter medication which claim to increase the size of penis or improve performance...it may be harmful. Having a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey increase blood flow to penis & maintains erection. Avoid stress...practice meditation.this helps in improving concentration & builds up the confidence level. Avoid smoking & alcohol. You can also do oil massage of the penis...it increases blood flow & maintains the erection. Wishing you a Healthy Life. Take care.

I was suffering from allergic rhinits a month ago for which i took relent OD(dr reddy) containing levocet.. + ambroxol and one steroidal nasal spray both for 21 days - both one per day. i got completely cured. now after one month i have again started sneezing. mild earache also.
|
Hi,first consult an ENT specialist and get your oropharynx examined for inflammation of your pharyngeal tonsils which is a common cause of recurrent middle ear congestion and ear ache, it can also cause rhinitis and breathing problems. You should also go for X-ray of paranasal sinuses for detection of chronic sinusitis, polypoid or any other pathology. If you are sensitive to cold and environmental pollution then avoid exposure as much as possible, you can go for complete panel allergen test and subsequent desensitization if possible, you should also go for total and differential count of WBC for eosinophilic and its subsequent management. Your developing allergy can be managed completely if not ignored otherwise.thanks.

Hello, I ve been on Tri-Sprintec for 3 full weeks today. I started taking the pill on the first day of my period. At day 14 I had unprotected sex and the following day I took a different brand of birth control pill as an emergency contraceptive. Am I at a great first for being pregnant since I m new to the pills? I ve read elsewhere online that it takes at least a month to be completely safe. Thanks
|
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. It is true that the initial couple of cycles after hormone contraception need additional protection as they are not completely protected. Yet, as you have taken the emergency pill soon after the unprotected intercourse, you are safe. The high hormone content in the emergency pill creates hormone imbalances. Thus, you can see some with Chat Doctor. In the future, please do not go for any additional hormone contraception as with regular hormone intake, your cycle is well protected. Hope this helps.

Hi thanks for writing fall you had might have caused some injury on the flank side which may cause pain. It is not necessarily from the kidneys. If you don't have any blood in the urine or any other problem in passing urine it may not be a kidney problem. Although my concern is whether you had a rib fracture because of the fall as the pain is increasing when you cough or breathe. X-ray might be of help. Even if it is a rib problem all it needs is a rest and immobilization. You may write back with your queries. Tx

HelloI have a questionI took a physical for the job I going forThe ekg was bad sinus trycarcaI was drinking 4 cups of coofee about 2 days before the examThe doctor there took my heart rate pulse again it ddidint go downShe stated to go to my doctor qith a note stating that I have a high heart rate. So far I havent had any coffee since then
|
Your heart rate is usually a sign of something else. It goes up if you are worried, excited or scared. It may also change when you are sick. Rarely, the normal leader of the heart has lost control and the rate signals that. Coffee changes heart rate very little and for a very short time. If the doctor observed something abnormal, it's best to have your doctor follow up to see if looking further is worthwhile.

I am on the Marvelon contraceptive pill and have been for 8 months with no problems. I just had my pill free break and withdrawl bleed. I should have taken the first pill of the new pack last night (Monday night) but forgot and took it first thing this morning (Tuesday). I had sex with my husband last night. Should I take an emergency contraceptive?
|
Hallow Dear, You have started the next pack of contraceptive pills in time. 12 hours delay once in a while during the cycle is permissible. Moreover, this delay was just at the start of the menstrual cycle. At this time, for practical purposes, no egg is released by the ovaries for fertilization. The egg is released 14 days prior to the next cycle when you are not on any contraceptive pill. While on contraceptive pill, there is no egg release. The released egg has life of 24 hours and the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, period of about a week around ovulation is considered as fertile period. However, since you are on contraceptive pills, even that possibility does not exist. Dear Madam, you are well protected against the pregnancy. You need not take emergency contraceptive pills after this incidence of unprotected sex; because basically it is not an unprotected sex - you are well protected. I hope this releases your stress.

I am concerned about my son-in-law. He is 40, has mild CP, and is a highly stressed college professor. He has for the last couple years been losing significant amounts of weight, without trying. And for several months he has been saying he has never been so tired and exhausted in his life. This does not seem right to me. We love him and want to keep him around and well!
|
Hello! I am glad to attend you on Chat Doctor ! His clinical situation seems to be complex and could be related to different possible causes: a metabolic disorder, malnutrition, depression, a malignancy, etc. For this reason, I recommend consulting with his GP for some tests: - a chest X-ray study- a resting ECG- a complete blood count- an abdominal ultrasound-kidney and liver function tests-fasting glucose-blood electrolytes- vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels- PSA and CEA levels. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues. Kind regards,

just got my blood wk back and my TSH is 4.75 (i knew that) my AST is 55 and my ALT is 61 (not a drinker) and my Neutrophils is low at 635. What is up? I got sick with somethink like fever the same day as these test were done. Could that contribute to these weird numbers. Liver and low white count = strange to me. Thanks
|
Hi... your blood reports suggest a one fold increase in AST and ALT with decrease in neutrophil count. This scenario is neutropenia with mild hepatitis which is very common in any viral fevers. So I would recommend you not to worry since these changes do not hold much significance and return to normal within 1-2 weeks after recovery from infection.

my friend had an accident in Jan 2012. at that time she took the bed rest. but recently she is suffering from a chronic lower back pain . after MRI dr concluded that there is GAP increased in SPINE and operation is must. Is it necessary for her to go with operation to get rid off pain.or by exercise, yoga and some Ayurvedic treatment she can be fit.
|
Accident in Jan 2012. Now she is suffering from chronic low backache. This may be due to various causes like disc prolapse, fractures,subluxation/dislocations of the spine etc. U just mentioned there is an increased gap in MRI. It would be better if u could at least message the MRI conclusion report.Without any reason no doctor suggests surgery. If u have any doubt regarding this, nothing wrong in getting a second opinion from another neurosurgeon. Pls first get another doctor opinion n then think of yoga/exercise as these still aggravate the problem if there is severe disc prolapse/fracture.

The longer I drove, I developed a headache worsening over the 2 hours; then nausea requiring an urgent pull over to a turnpike plaze - N/D. Joint are hurting; musciles hurting. Believe I have a fever that seemed to go down a little this afternoon. I have been resting all day; symptoms continue in spice of Tramadol for the pain which is not working and antiemitic meds. Cold off and on. Can you advise? Thanks, Cathy

Hi It seems that your problem started on your return journey while Chat Doctor. I feel you correctly that you have fever. Fever will explain all your symptoms. You may have to continue rest for few days. If you have fever take only paracetamol, Tramadol may cause vomiting.

when I awaken after four hours of sleep, I have trouble walking as my legs feel like they are almost broken. After I am up for a bit all is well again. I do have a bad knee. It bothers me as well but I an function well during the day. I can work outdoors, mow the grass and all goes well. What is my problem?

Thanks for asking me this question. You don't mention your age. Above 50 year because of wear and tear of bone can occur joint problem. If any history of trauma is present than first do your x Ray. Check your blood calcium level also. If knee joint site is warm and erythematous it ruled out osteoarthritis. Any catching or locking sound is present at knee joint area it rules out osteocyte Chat Doctor. Bilateral knee joint involvement indicate rheumatoid arthritis. Above 50 year generalize knee pain indicate patellofemoral syn

I am a 20 year old female - 5 7 , 120lbs. For several years now, whenever I stand up from a sitting or, especially, a reclined position, my vision goes dark, I feel light headed, and my arms and legs feel very heavy. It used to be that I could always just go about my business and after a few seconds I d feel totally better. I went to the doctor about this because, for a month or so about 2 years ago, I was randomly passing out during these spells. They did an ultrasound on my heart and gave me medication to raise my blood pressure. The fainting then stopped and the condition went back to my normal level. But over the last 3 weeks or so, when I go from lying down to standing up, my vision goes almost totally black and I feel like I can barely move my arms or legs because they re so heavy. I feel so faint these days, that I d say about 60% of the time (lying down - standing) I wind up falling to my knees and putting my head on the ground so that I don t pass out. After a few (15-45) seconds, I m able to stand up and carry on. What could be causing this?
|
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. Well this might be due to postural hypotension...I would like to know that either you are on dieting or not. Make a habit of taking proper diet timely so that your blood pressure and blood glucose level could be of optimal level. Then wait for at least 2 weeks if this problem remains continued then visit medical consultant to find out the cause of this postural hypotensionHope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

I had a small round white patch on my lower lip. It is the second one (first one also on lower lip). I picked both off like you would blister and the first one bled for half a minute and in a few days the lip was normal again. The second one I also just picked off yesterday and already it is going back to my normal lip. What are these? On my top lip there are lots of small white dots you can see if I pull my lip tight. I don;t know if they are connected?
|
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Are you having any kind of systemic or skin problem? These lesions might be interconnected for which I would suggest you to visit a dentist for proper examination. I would suggest you to take multivitamin tablet once a day, Chat Doctor. Hope my answer will help you. Regards

I have constant pain in my head and have been diagnosed with POSTHERPETIC Neuralgia. I am taking Lyrica which doesn t help at all. I rub Capsasin into my hair and it just burns. Is there anything else I can do to stop the pain. It is unbearable. Thank you.
|
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles, which is caused by the chickenpox virus. If you experience persistent pain due to postherpetic Neuralgia you should consult neurologist for proper examination. Post-herpetic neuralgia is easy to diagnose based on your symptoms and medical history. Doctor may prescribe lidocaine patches, anticonvulsant gabapentin like Neurontin other than lyrics and in case of severe pain doctor may also prescribe stronger painkiller like tramadol. For now, you can apply anesthetic cream for relief from pain and itchiness. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Thanks for posting the query. Maculopapular rash can be due to previous Chat Doctor. Proper dermatological evaluation is necessary to diagnose the root cause of the rash. It can be also due to some offending allergens or contagious like scabies. Continue with antiallergic tablets and start proper medications after consultation. Hope for speedy recovery.Regards

Im 20 years old and i masturbate 4-6 times a day. My sperm turns transparent if i masturbate over 4 times and again turns white if i dont do it for a day or two. Is that normal. Should i stop masturbation? And how many times can a person masturbate a day?
|
Hello. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Semen will become transparent after 4 to 6 times a day that is because the time is not enough for your testicles to produce enough sperm. So only semen comes out with few sperm cells. Hope I have answered your query. You can contact me for treatment options. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Initially she has stage 3 cancer. Nodal status and metastasis was not provided. Now she has difficulties in swallowing. She should go for CT scan to know exact location, spread and lymph node. She mostly has stage 4 cancer now. Surgery will not work if it is stage 4. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy remains the treatment options. Despite treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. 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 Doc, I am having this problem of shortness of breath for last 3 years now. The problem is usually elevated when whether is more humid and its raining. I have been smoking for 8 years until last 5 months. I drink 2-3 times socially in a week as well. I consulted a specialist last year, and was told it is an allergy and would be trated over the period of time. For the last few days, the shortness of breath is severe and can not sleep also because of this. I am also having pain in right lower chest when deep breathing. I stay in a very humid place in the world (singapore) and one thing i have noticed that on a very humid day, this problem turns back with nausea as well. I consulted a doc few days back (General Physician) and he gave me some tablets (allergy and to clear the air ways). It worked for 2 days. The problem turned back again after a day. (Its raining again !!) what are the possible causes of this problem? Is there anything to be worried.what tests do you suggest me? Appreciate your help ! Thanks Doc, JayD

Hello Mr Jay. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I guess you have quit smoking for last 5 months, and if I am correct, congratulations on that. It is a very important step for your respiratory complaints. From your history, I would conclude that you are having recurrent breathlessness, worsening on humid days. You may be having allergy to house dust mite or molds, which increase in concentration during humid days or pollen which are released during rainy season. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will take your detailed history and suggest allergy testing. He may suggest you allergen immunotherapy after allergy testing. If you have frequent shortness of breath, you may need daily controller medications (inhaled corticosteroids, montelukast, etc.)I would also suggest spirometry with reversibility testing. This test is helpful to differentiate between asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Apart from these, ensuring proper sunlight & ventilation in your rooms, avoidance of smoke-dust-air pollutants and regular breathing exercises will help you on a long run. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Regards.

I had radical prosectomy about 12 years ago. At that time the urologist prescribed cialis as a treatment therapy, a pill a day, but I couldn t afford it. Now I am completely impotent. I can however achieve orgasm, with extreme diificulty. I have good medical insurance. I notice that viagra helps a bit, but insurance still won t pay.

i suffer from abdominal pain,heaviness and tiredness in the body.when I sleep less my lower abdomen swells and face swells too.I also urinate excessively appox 18 times in a day when i slepp less .and on an average 12 times.i got my thyriod checked .it shows normal. I have polycystic ovary and hence irregular periods.My face looks tired all the time.I am under great mental stress too due to personal reasons.please help
|
Hi.First we have to find the reasons for polyuria (excessive urination). The probable causes can be : A simple test of specific gravity can tell. If less than normal this is called diabetes insipid us. The causes can be due to pituitary problem, diabetes, kidney infection. I would advise you to go for the following tests. Blood : CBC, sugar, urea, creatinine, electrolytes Urine - routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity. Ultrasonography of the abdomen and particularly the genitourinary system. CT scan to confirm the diagnosis .MRI of the brain and particularly for a pituitary s can The pain in the body, heaviness and the tiredness in the body can be due to excessive removal of salts from the urine or an associated infection. Facial and lower abdominal swelling can be due to anemia, hypoprteinemia or a more sinister cause of renal problems. You need to undergo a thorough clinical / physical check up for vitals like blood pressure, pulse, all the investigations and proper medical management.

My mother has a history of depressed hemoglobin/hematocrit levels following severe UTI. The first time occurred when she was hospitalized about seven years ago. It was treated with Procrit, which was very effective. I shared this information with her current doctor, who is skeptical. I tried to find supporting evidence online (I have seen it before, but that was some time ago). She was hospitalized a week ago with UTI, and although levels improved to >9, >27 during the week,her current levels are hemoglobin<8, hematocrit <25. Do you have any information?
|
HiT hanks for posting your query. There is no relationship between UTI and low Hemoglobin. I think her hemoglobin was being checked when she used to get admitted to hospital. So we need to find out what is causing her low hemoglobin. I usually suspect either iron deficiency or chronic blood loss. Chronic blood usually happens in the form of blood loss in motions. I advise you get these tests done and revert :Peripheral smear for blood picture, stool for occult blood, Iron profile, TSH. Any clarification feel free to ask.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Since no active follicles could be seen with 50 mg of closer, your gynecologist has increased the dose to 100 mg, The formation of follicles is necessary for the release of ovum and conception. You need to follow the treatment as suggested by your gynecologist. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Hi, my mother had sepsis and she had ARF, had to undergo dialysis thrice . her creatinine level was brought back to normal about 1.6. She is diabetic and has high blood pressure about 170-180. She now complains that she sometimes has headache and nausea and this is accompanied by a feeling that her nerves are being internally pulled. Can you please let me know why this happens?
|
Hello, Your mother symptoms are probably related to high blood pressure values. For this reason, I recommend increasing the doses of antihypertensive Chat Doctor. If a headache and nausea do not improve after the normalization of blood pressure values, I recommend going to the ER for a brain CT scan. Hope I have answered your query.

my baby is 15 months old, he has developed a minor flat head since the age of 1 month, it was not so severe that helmettherapy was adviced, he now is starting with walking and this week he has fallen at least 2 times a day really hard on the back of his head while falling from the sofa or trying to walk, he is rather wild in his play, my question is; if my baby falls often on the back of his head like this can it worsen the flatness of his head or is that not possible at this age
|
Hi...do not worry. Falling back while playing will not flatten the backside of head of a 15 months old kid. Nothing to worry about the head shape if the kid is normal playing and developmentally normal. Regards -

I have patient that presented severe backpain that was of sudden onset.making her unable to walk or even stand or sit down. she has previous history of the same problem and an xray was taken and showed ,there was dislocation of the disk and she was put on traction.what could be causing the pain? and what kind of management is best for her?
|
Hi, Most likely cause for acute onset backache is muscular spasm and not slipped disc. Second fact is disc herniation cannot be seen on X-ray, but we can assume it if there is reduction in disc height. MRI is the needed investigation to confirm disc herniation. If there is repeat episode of acute onset backache likely cause may be:1. Acute lumbar sprain2. Disc herniation with nerve compression. MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine needs to be done. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, start tablet Attract P twice a day with tablet Regain one at bedtime. Strict bed rest on hard bed is required. Visit to orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination is recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my daughter came home from her dads and said her dad had a large bruise from the arch of his foot up his leg to his knee and did not injure it. he is an alcoholic and im wondering if this bruising could be caused from his alcoholism i know that he has liver damage from seeing results of blood work way back to the year 2000 and has continued to drink since then so im sure the blood work would show even worse results now
|
Hi, The chronic liver disease can cause altered prothrombin time. So, it can cause bruise. But apart from chronic liver disease, there are several other common causes of bruise/purpura. So I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist to rule out other causes of purpura/bruise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, i am 25 and I have always had a 28-30 day cycle. I got my periods on 28th April and had unprotected sex with my husband on 10th and 11th of May, assuming that my ovulation date should have been 6th May and ended maximum by 9th May. However, this month I have not been getting my usual menstrual cramps or weakness in body that I otherwise get from a week to 10 days before my period is due. Also I have been facing high acidity from last 3 days, it was there for the whole day on Friday. Saturday and Sunday it was there only in the morning, and then I feel totally fine later on. Could it be that I am pregnant, when can I take a pregnancy test. But mostly I want to know, how could I have been fertile on 10th May. Or is it something else and not cause of pregnancy ?
|
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for your query. Generally ovulation occurs from the day of 13 to 19 menstrual cycles. That means you may ovulate on 11th onwards. Sperms can live for 5 days in the uterus. So you have chances of getting pregnant from your husband. Acidity is unrelated to this condition. After successful fertilization it takes 12 days for the urine pregnancy test to be positive. Consult gynecologist for further suggestionsThank you Chat Doctor.

I am taking Zosert 100 mg twice daily. This has been prescribed by an Physicatrist due to my nerves pain in back side and neck. I am not comfortable taking medicine since there is no depression. I would like to drop the medicine Maxgalin 75 mg,Etilam is taken along with zoset. Please advise to stop taking these medicines need your advise on thisThanks
|
hello are on the highest dose of Robert right now. Whatever be the reason if taking it, but it should be tapered slowly over time and then stopped. Sudden stoppage may cause you huge problematic issues. Try with reducing 25 mg at a time, wait for 2-3 weeks and if you are ok then further reduce it by 25 mg. Continue to do so after a gap of few weeks till you are ok. But if there is any problem in between then you will have to discuss it. You can discuss this gradual with Chat Doctor. Wish you good luck.

Can you have your period And be pregnantIve been trying to get pregnant this last 2 Months This last past month I have started to spot about the last 2 days of August And then from there I have a regular period With very bad cramps so my question is can you still be pregnant and have a regular period
|
Hi, Absence of menstruation or missing a period is the first cardinal symptom of pregnancy. However, few women do get some amount of bleeding during early pregnancy at or around the expected date of menstruation. This used to be known as placental sign in good old days. Your history of the spotting followed by menstrual bleeding does not seem to suggest the possibility of pregnancy. However, you may confirm the diagnosis by:1. Pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample about a week after the first day of your so-called menstruation; earlier these tests may report false negative results. 2. Alternatively you may opt for Beta Chat Doctor test on the blood 10 days after last unprotected intercourse. Values above 25 mid/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mid/ml. I am sure, this should resolve your dilemma. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had a red spot on my scrotum, that I (stupidly) tried to pop like it was a blood blister. apparently, I had been so rough with it I now am missing a top layer of skin about a half an inch in diameter where the dark red spot WAS. the spot is gone, but now I have a painful, open sore on my scrotum. I have been boiling it with peroxide and using a triple anti biotic ointment on it for 2 days - it looks a little infected, like a 3rd degree burn - yellowish at the affected area, red around the affected area - swollen - is there ANYTHING I need to do or not do to help speed up the healing process?

Hi I have three tumors one behind my stomach and one beside my bowel and one in my grion my heath care team say it s better to watch things they are not benign and not malignant why do they not want to remove them why would theyleave them to see what happens over time
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is possible that the benign tumors you have mentioned are probably lipomas or neurofibromas. Both these tumors are soft tissue origin and not likely to become malignant if left untreated. A lipoma is a benign fat containing tumor which slips over the skin. A neurofibroma has nerve tissues and also does not change over time. Such tumors are to be removed only if there is pain or sudden enlargement in size. Should you have apprehension then you might get FNAC or biopsy to be done from one of the swelling to confirm the pathological diagnosis of the swelling? Please closely watch for similar tumors and discuss with your doctor if there is sudden pain or increase in size. Please do not worry.

My husband experiences aprox. 10 minute episodes of not knowing what he should do next, where he works and who he works for. As I remind him, the memory slowly returns. He began this about 4 years ago infrequently but now he has had 2 in 2 weeks. He has been tested for dementia with the finding of mild cognitive disorder, which they say is due to his age of 61. I do not agree that this is normal. Any ideas?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your husbands symptoms. Based on the description, his forgetfulness and memory impairment are episodic, and they become normal after 10 minutes or so. In a case of dementia, the memory impairment is present all the time and not in episodic fashion. In your husbands case, we need to exclude seizures and transient ischemic attacks. In both these conditions, the persons' memory may return to normal after a few minutes or so. Please discuss with his neurologist regarding these two possibilities. 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/

In both these conditions, the persons' memory may return to normal after a few minutes or so. Please discuss with his neurologist regarding these two possibilities. 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/

I have been having on occasion in the middle of my lower back pain off and on. The pain only lasts two or three minutes and feels like something is stabing me in the back, today was a little longer like 5 minutes. Today however not only did i have pain in the lower back it seemed to travel up to my head on the left hand side (temporal/occipital area), which throbbed with pain two or three times. Any ideas? Cancer?
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain in the back that you are having can be related to muscle spasm, sprain, disc bulge, etc. It is not likely to be related to any cancers as such problems are also associated with systemic symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss, fevers, etc. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

hi i have been feeling really weak recently and even collapsed a couple of times (without fainting/just fallig). Recently after I got a really bad cold/cough. I rarely ever get sick, this is the first time i can actually say i have a bad cold. What worries me most is that my chest (over my heart) feels really hot.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LETI - pneumonia) is more. LETI is common after uncontrolled common cold. And your worsening cough, weakness, Giddiness, burning and hot feeling over chest etc. are seen in pneumonia. So better to get done chest x-ray first. If this is suggestive of pneumonia than you need antibiotics and other supportive Chat Doctor. So consult doctor and first rule out pneumonia. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have IBS and occasional bleeding from the rectum. Colonoscopy NAD. Today, I have had 4 large bleeds before 2pm. Just had another one, and the blood is leaking out as well as lots in the toilet. Could this be related to me ingesting crystal meth orally over the last 24 hrs? I dont want to present to ED under the influence, but Im worried about the amount of blood loss.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by relapses and remissions. You can experience regular GI bleeds in the course of disease. The current episode can be due to ingestion of crystal meth. There are chances of development of fissures, ulcers, fistulas and ulcers in IBD. All these conditions can exacerbate the situation. The greatest risk factor in IBD is development of cancer of the bowel. You need to undergo a colonoscopy for development of these complications and their prompt management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

My son is now 9. He has had a bald spot on the side of his head for several years now. It hasn t grown bigger, but his hair hasn t ever grown back either. He hasn t had a traumatic life, but did have a tonsil adenoid ectomy at the age of two. What could be the cause?
|
Hi...by what you quote I feel that it is a long-standing fungal infection or a condition called alopecia errata. I suggest you see your dermatologist for this. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hi, my 3 and a 1/2 year old brother had his ruptured appendix removed by surgery five days ago. He came back from the hospital today. After the surgery, his stomach was seriously swollen, which the doctor said was due to gas. He often felt nauseated, and even vomited, once a day after the surgery, every evening. He also complained of pain in hi stomach/ abdomen area but since he is young and very weak after the operation, he didn t exactly point where it was paining. I m really worried because the vomiting is usually a symptom of appendicitis so it should stop after the appendix is removed. Also, the doctor had said his swollen stomach would gradually reduce but it hasn t. What is wrong with him?

Hello! It is common that after opening abdominal cavity an intestine need some time to start work property. It is described as paralytic illus, and it is normal after any abdominal surgery. However, it shouldn't last for more than few days after a surgery. Otherwise, there advisable to suspect that something went wrong. Sometimes after an appendectomy (and any other surgery) intestines may be twisted what results with intestinal obstruction. This is urgent situation and another surgery may be required. That is why if these symptoms are not going away, surgeon visit is advisable. It is necessary to perform abdomen X-ray which will rule it out. Take care

i ve had a sore on my right gluteal fold for several months that almost heals, then does not. another one happened above it but it went away. another similar spot happened on my arm, and has almost gone away. and same with my ears.
|
Hello, As I was going through the history is there a soreness at one point or multiple? Because if its at multiple regions it could be called as knots. But than, this will.be only on probable basis and not an accurate diagnosis. I will recommend that you need to show this to a proper skin specialist so that you can get an accurate diagnosis which can help to plan the further treatment. Because certain abnormalities always need some physical examination. I am not mentioning anything in particular which can make you panic. So the best thing to do is to visit a good skin specialist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have significant dental pain. The dentist X-rayed the area and could not find any abscess or cavities and he thinks it is due to grinding my teeth at night. He made a night guard for me and said it might take several days to help relieve the pain. Im wondering if there is inflammation involved (around the nerve) and if Relafen would be of some help.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the teeth or jaw can be because of either tooth infection or TMJ disorder nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a tooth infection, you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and get the tooth treated. If it is a jaw joint disorder then you can take proximal with a muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone after consulting the physician(if you are not sensitive and allergic)I hope my answer will help you, take care.

When I do sit ups I have noticed a raised lump on my stomach when I am pulling myself up. When I lay back down and relax my stomach it doesnt seem to show. I have been to my own doctor and was told that this was common in a lot of men. Could it be a hernia?
|
Hello, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Yes sir your suspect is right, any lump coming up during touting of rectus abdominal muscles like when doing sit-ups shows that there is some weakness in anterior abdominal wall. But however if the size is very small then it is not a matter of concern. But if you feel it is large enough or increasing in size gradually then you might need consultation of general surgeon to do a detailed clinical examination and recommend treatment after examination. Also, a USG scan of abdomen can show the exact size of defect helping to plan out further line of management. So, yes it could be hernia (umbilical or para umbilical) and it needs to be examined clinically. I hope I have answered your query well. If you have any more questions kindly directly write back to me, will be happy to help you. Thank you
