had minera IUD places approximately 3 1/2 years ago. I am scheduled to get it removed friday November 19th. have read a lot of personal experience stories and am scared from all of the stories about women who get pregnant almost immediately only to miscarry. How long should you wait before trying to conceive after removing minera?
|
Hi, I think there is no problem in conceiving after IRENA removal. You can start trying anytime after its removal. Generally it takes 6 months to one year for ovaries to regain its function after removal of IRENA. So, it may take some time to conceive, but there is no risk of miscarriages even if you conceive immediately after removal. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

I recently was hospitalized with a kidney stone and sepsis . It s been 5 wks now. I have pain in my leg. It s especially noticable every time I walk upstairs. It also hurts quite regularly when walking around a large store or standing in one spot for several minutes. Is that an aftermath of sepsis. Is there any food or exercise that may help? I haven t done any exercise for nearly two months now. Would biking help?
|
Hi, No neither will exercise biking included nor will any food help you with Kidney stone (renal calculi) or sepsis. Yes avoidance of foods like non-veg with calcium is recommended. Get USG and X-Ray PUB done and start with antibiotics and painkillers.

Hi, my. Husband went to dentist yeaterday morning for a tooth abcsess. She injected him twice for the pain amd sent him home with prescription for antibiotics. Last might his mouth started swelling. Now the swelling is more than it was at 11:00pm. Is it normal?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint swelling in mouth seems to be most probably due to Dental Abscess as the pus formation below the root tips of tooth can perforate the bone and get accumulated in the soft tissues leading to swelling inside the mouth as well as on the cheek. He should continue taking the antibiotics and if there is pain anti-inflammatory painkiller like Advil can be taken. Do cool compresses over the cheek. But one thing I would like to tell you that antibiotics can reduce the swelling and infection to some extent, but it will not provide permanent relief. In order to get permanent relief you should consult your dentist and get an x-ray of tooth done. If the tooth is in condition that it can be saved Root Canal Treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers will provide permanent relief. In case if tooth is grossly decayed and cannot be saved extraction is advisable. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

6 years ago March 2008 I had brain surgery to remove a minengeoma (sp?) non-cancerous tumour and neurosurgeon said he got it all. I now have numerous hard bone scars on the right side of my head where they operated and removed the tumour. About 2 weeks ago I felt a lump within the many scars which is about 1 to 1-1/2 across and is mushy feeling with fluid. There is no pain and I just had ultrasound and xrays done a couple days ago and waiting for results but I m worried sick as to what it could be. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, such formation of lump is not normal one, but the swelling could be due to some infection and this need to be ruled out, or may be some collection, hope this information helps, take care.

Good Morning: I had a tick that was attached to my side. My husband removed it. It is now red and itchy. This has been a week. I have an extremely swollen gland in my groin area and am extremely tired. I am a type 2 diabetic but my last a1c was 5.6. I am not overweight. Any ideas? Thanks.
|
Hello there, I understand your concern about the swelling and pain. That gland is probably because of the tick bite. You need to be examined to make sure that there is no other reason or problem in the groin leading to the lymph node swelling. Your A1c is in good control. If I were to treat you I would give you a course of Doxycycline antibiotics to cure the infection and swelling in the gland. But you need a proper examination before the medicine can be prescribed. So please visit your physician who can do the same. Till then try to take paracetamol for the pain and do some cold compresses to the swollen area if there is no pus formation so that can relieve the pain. If there is pus then there is need for Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Take care.

hi doc, i had had embbryo transfer four days ago; two eight cells; suprefact and menopur. today i am having a cold shiver and some mild nausea; my nipple still ;hurts alot, i also feel dat my stomach feels fuller with mild cramp. does it mean dat embryo cant implant? i am also using utrogestaan vaginal trice daily
|
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to the hormone changes in your body. We can not determine if there is embryo implant, as it usually occurs later. Anyway, I recommend you to closely monitor your body temperature, in order to exclude any possible infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am a 41 year old male. Symptoms started as body aches, flush feeling, just feeling like no energy. A day ago i noticed what looked like the start of a pimple on my forehead. Today several red spots on forehead, upper chest, some on back, crease of arms, neck area. They dont really itch to bad. I also feel constipated at times, some belly aches and small amount of diarreha. My wife is convinced its chicken pox. I also started an anxiety med two nights ago to help me sleep. Didnt notice rash till after i started the med but the other symptoms were present the day before i started med. Started med due to lack of sleep i was getting from wearing a cpap mask at night.
|
Hi, It will be better if you can upload the photos of the lesion. This will help in making diagnosis. If chicken pox you need to take acyclovir with other symptomatic treatment. Chicken pox presents similar to flu with vesicular rashes. It cannot be pimples as all the lesions cannot appear in a day. Since you started anxiety medicines this can be due to its reaction also. Without examination and knowing about medicine we can't confirm the diagnosis. So better to upload a photo of the problem or else get examined by your doctor once. I hope this information helps you. Regards

Hi Sherry, I understand your difficult situation but as we all know healthy is better than wealthy.

Did you have ear discharge or temperature? If the answer is positiver than consulting ENT doctor is a MUST. The disease has severe complications, and it is better to follow up than cure the side effects of the disease. Hope that helped

The start of my last menstural period was Oct 25 2010. Lasted about 7 days. According to that, I m supposed to be 12 weeks today (Jan 15 2011). However, I went for my dating ultrasound yesterday and was told I was only 10 weeks and 6 days. Therefore they couldn t do the Nuchal Translucency scan. My question is, what exactly is gestational age? Does this calculate when the baby was concieved? And if so, the baby would have been concieved the last day of my period (Unlikely, I thought?) I m confused as to which age I should be using. If my gestational age was different, shouldn t everybody else s be? I hear people say I was only off by 2 or 3 days , but wouldn t that mean they also concieved during their period? Please help.
|
Hallow Dear, The gestational age of the baby is in fact the actual age of the baby. Naturally it is from the day of conception. However, it is not possible in day to day life to locate the day of conception. Hence, it is customary to calculate the day of expected due date of delivery or even the duration of pregnancy from the date of last menstrual period. This is the clinical way of assessing the duration of pregnancy. Total duration of pregnancy which is said 280 days is counted from the date of last menstrual period. Ultrasound calculates the duration of pregnancy according to the measurements of the baby. It has some error factor ranging from 2 weeks to few days depending upon the stage and duration of pregnancy. I hope this gives you clear knowledge about the age of the baby.

I am prone to allergies (dust, pollen etc). I woke up this morning with a pretty bad case of sneezing. By this afternoon, whenever i sneeze, my breasts hurt; like tiny pinpricks or stinging all over them. The pain lasts for about 3-5 minutes after the sneeze. is this normal in allergic rhinitis?
|
You appear to suffer from Allergic Rhinitis.It's common to have cold and sneezing in the early morning. As cold air is a powerful trigger of allergy, but is not medically desirable to continue suffering like this. You need to first take a PNS X-ray & role out sinus involvement also. Then you would be suffering with Rhine sing bronchial allergy. Which require more care.1) you need to start an antihistamine like tab. Montec-Lc one tab per day for 15 days initially(only at night after dinner)2) you need to take nasal inhaler namely Donate spray per nostril per day.3) do not get exposed immediately from to be Chat Doctor.

Hi im vincent im 14 and i started to notice a pain in my back about 3 monthes ago in the dimple of my back and it will hurt when i move my back quickly and move my leg. when it got as bad as it does i cant move at all and the next morning i would feel nothing than about a month later it will hurt again

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query think that there is some pathology developing in the back. This may be mild at the moment and may be gradually building up. So I would seriously suggest that you move for an imaging modality like MRI/X-ray (the former being the preferred modality). The physiotherapy is usually a good option for people who have backache. So look for a qualified physiotherapist around you who may help you with the pain and also the fomentation techniques.Painkillers may be taken once in a while, but I would suggest you avoid them as far as possible due to the possibilities of long term problems like gastritis and kidney damage hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination. Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.

Hi thanks for asking question. You have superficial dog bite at foot. Your skin somewhat get damaged and superficial nerves injury, so you definitely feel pain. I advise you to clean bite area with soap and eater. Then apply sterile bandage over it. Apply topical antibiotic cream over affected area to prevent infection.

Hi..am a resident of gurgaon aged 35years. I am looking for surgery for kidney stone removal...the stone size is around 18mm and is stuck in the duct leading to extreme pain. Please note am a diabetic with fluctuating sugar levels...since my medical policy does not cover the ailment as of now, am looking for an economical solution...would appreciate if i could get an approx price quote too

Hey. Welcome to Chat Doctor. Let me first inform you that, if the stone size is less than 10 mm, then definitely there is a chance to flush it out from our body by specific medicines. In your case, the stone size is 18 mm, and also it is stuck in the ureter as informed by you, which is giving you severe pain. In my opinion, you can go ahead for surgery. Do not worry it will be not an open surgery. Lithotripsy is done in such cases, which is minimal invasive surgery. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other questions, then I will be happy to answer it. Wish you good health. Take good care of yourself. Warm Regards.

My baby is 11 months old and is having viral dioreah. The peaditrician whom we consulted this morning prescribed Bifilac satchet once a day for 10 days. Should the baby be given the satchet in one dose or in divided doses. What amount of water must be used to mix the contents of the satchet?.

Hi, Welcome to forum. Similar sachets are pre probiotics prescribed during most of the diarrhea. The dose is 1 full sachets mixed in 2-4 teaspoons of water, fruit juice, milk or any non-fizzy Chat Doctor. Hope this solves your doubt. Thanks

I had my bottom 2 wisdom teeth pulled over 2 years ago. They were badly impacted. A few months after the surgery I noticed a hard painful bump in the roof of my mouth. On both sides there is a hard lump, but the right size is a lot worse. I have been to 3 oral surgeons, a dentist, and 2 ents. I have had 2 x-rays. They all say they cant find anything wrong. It is very painful and when it gets inflamed my whole throat gets sore. I also have a lot of pain in both sides of my jaw and down my neck. I was told by 1 surgeon I had tmj and another a salivary gland blockage. I have had 2 salivary gland infections. Two doctors could not any saliva from my glands. I have dry mouth and my right eye has been twitching for a year. What do you think it is?

Your problems seem to be because of different reasons. Your throat problem is due to Chat Doctor. After your salivary glands' infection there is reduced flow. Lot of complications arise due to insufficient salivary flow. Try medicines to increase salivary flow.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I had my bottom 2 wisdom teeth pulled over 2 years ago. They were badly impacted. A few months after the surgery I noticed a hard painful bump in the roof of my mouth. On both sides there is a hard lump, but the right size is a lot worse. I have been to 3 oral surgeons, a dentist, and 2 ents. I have had 2 x-rays. They all say they cant find anything wrong. It is very painful and when it gets inflamed my whole throat gets sore. I also have a lot of pain in both sides of my jaw and down my neck. I was told by 1 surgeon I had tmj and another a salivary gland blockage. I have had 2 salivary gland infections. Two doctors could not any saliva from my glands.

Hello ive been on implanon for 3 years and 3 months. While on implanon my periods stopped completely and now that my implanon is expired i still havent had a period.. my question to you is, should i be worried about not having a period yet and is it possible for me to concieve with an expired implanon still in my arm?
|
Hello, you don't need to worry about your periods. It will come back within 4-6 months after the body has adjusted its hormone levels. Implant is a hormone based contraceptive which is effective only for 3 years. You can get pregnant with expired implant as the hormone it was releasing is finished, and your status is you are using no contraceptive at present, so there are chances of conceiving without periods similar to conceiving in lactational amenorrhea. Therefore, if you do not desire to get pregnant then remove the expired one and get a new implant inserted or use OCP or injections as per your choice.

I am a female, 57 years old, 130 lbs, 5 4 . Over the last 5 years I have been diagnosed with a posterior fossa meningioma, a slpeen hemingioma, and have developed about 30 Cherry Angiomas across my stomach and legs. About 2 years ago I had a Novasure ablation for uterine fibroids. I have very variable blood pressure (highest:190/120, lowest: 50/17). I have a very slow pulse, 30-50 average. I regularly have bigeminy PVC s. Is it possible that these are related? What kind of doctor should I see? (Neurologist said meningioma was benign, don t worry. GP said hemingioma and angiomas were benign, don t worry. Cardiologist raises/lowers blood pressure meds through cycles (2-3 times a year) and says don t worry.)
|
Hi, So meningioma hematoma are usually benign. However, posterior fossa tumor with high BP and slow pulse rate may be caused by raised ICT. And if it is so it requires removal. However so many fluctuations of BP raise questions about authentic measurement as BP in same arm every time or it's a difference in two limb measurement. And if It's not then you may have endocrine tumor specially chromaffinomas, associated pheochromocytoma. You need evaluation for the same. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am 4 weeks pregnant dr. said i miscarriaged but my ChatDoctor have doubled i still fill pregnant my ChatDoctor started 430 when i miscarriaged went back to dr. they went to 850. but im still bleeding could i still be pregnant they did ultra sound and didnt see a sac

Hello, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor is a hormone secreted from the placenta and uterine wall junction. You said you are still bleeding, that means you did not have yet finished total abortion. It is still incomplete abortion. It occurs when some part of product of concepts is still attached to the wall mimicking that pregnancy is still there and continue to secrete hormones thinking pregnancy is continued. Either you observe for few more days until the bleeding stops on itself or if it does not stop, kindly consult a gynecologist as you may need small procedure called as dilatation and curettage where they will completely clean the uterus of any remaining bits n pieces. Then the Chat Doctor values will decrease. Hope it helps you. Thank you

When i was 12 years old start from small spot on my chest ,but now is biger and biger . Please answer me ,im very ,very scary. Please Thank You Luiza from Calgary

Hi Luiza, Thanks for writing to us. Anetoderma is an plasmolytic disorder where elastin of dermal skin tissue is destroyed leading to laxity and out pouching of skin. Though medical treatment is available none is supposed be very effective. For smaller lesions surgical excision can be tried. I would advise you to consult a dermatologist so that the diagnosis can be confirmed first as your self diagnosis might be wrong! Hope that helps. Take care

hi, i have been having some health issues for over a year now. weight loss, bloating, gas, pelvic pain, lower back pain, diarrhea on and off, recently had abenign polyp removed from the neck of my womb and 3 colon polyps removed, still waiting on the results for colon polyps, i have a follow up in march 2 get results so they must be benign. well i have had a hard painless lump on my left ribcage between the 9th and 10th rib for over 4 years i think, it doesnt move but im sure its grown some. what do u think it could be? im 37 female
|
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. As I understand you are having problem in different system of body. I tried to save your query .painless lump on rib cage could be a benign mass for which you need to undergo ultrasound and biopsy examination under guidance of Surgeon. Pelvic pain and lower back pain could be due to muscle spasm which require opinion of an orthopedic surgeon. Gastric trouble could be due to your food habits, so you need to manage your dietary habit.thanks .

Hi thanks for asking question. Here your eosinophils are high. So it could most probably allergic lung condition like allergic bronchitis or asthma. Take Chat Doctor. Avoid allergen like dust, pollen, cold times or any foods to which you are allergic. For diagnosis of cough variant asthma pulmonary function test done for it. Second although chances are less high eosinophil could be by parasitic infection like by malaria or round worms. So PS for malaria at night and stool examination done for rule out it. Take care. Wish you good health.

Hi I hope that the marina I do for a year and I got to put in a bleed for four months straight After nauseous and lightheaded dizziness back pains lower pelvis pains ovary pains Around six months after it was put it in I called my OB and they said that it was nothing don t work And I could never feel my string And they said not to Worry about It was just how my uterus was set Well it s only getting worse I feel nauseous every day and lightheaded and feel pain once. I can t shake the feeling that in pregnant have not takin a test what should I do.
|
Hello madam, from the history you have given, well IRENA contains levonorgestrel, which is a progesterone hormone which can cause side effects like nausea, breast tenderness, sometimes abdominal discomfort, break through bleeding. But as the symptoms get worsen, I would suggest you to consult your gynecologist for a check-up to be sure that IRENA is in its proper position. The chances of pregnancy with IRENA in situ in its normal position is very less. Hope I was helpful to you.

I have been getting blisters on my upper left jaw teeth gums. I cant even chew on that side of my mouth! My dentist took x-rays and said they did not show anything and that I did not have any decay in those upper jaw teeth. He gave me a prescription for antibiotics and told me if they help then I might need a root canal. Well, they helped but I am still puzzled by this situation. My dentist said he would have to refer me to an oral surgeon in another town as he didnt perform that type of surgery.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blisters on upper gums which seems to be due to blood dysplasias, gingivitis/ periodontitis and due to poor oral hygiene. Need not worry about it. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get it examined. Go for complete examination and start treatment after that. Go for blood tests as well. You should take care of oral hygiene maintenance. Go for scaling and root planning it is due to deposition of deposits. Use antiseptic mouthwash. Brush and floss twice a day. Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food. Do warm saline gargles several times a day. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

my lips are dark in color when i was young like in school they were normal not much pink but not too dark even now i am 23 years old and from last few years i m feeling that my lips are darker now and any lipstick i apply doesnt suite me because of this reason. i went to a skin specialist and she asked me whether i bite my lips from my teeth or not i said may be i didnt give attention on this. but may be when they are dry i lick them. so she gave me depiwhite advanced depigmentation cream, i just wanted to know that it will effect or not? secondly after leaving it will my lips can get more darker or any other side effects? becuase i dont want them to be more darker.
|
Hi.thanks for your query. You need to know about the causes of dark lips to be taking precautions better. A lot of people have it genetically predetermined, although parents may/may not have it. A frequent cause of non-genetic lip darkening is the use of lipsticks /colored balms/gloss, as these tend to darken the lips over a period of time. So try and not use it too often. If you have to use it, then let it be alleged free and replace them every 2 months. I would advise you to start using medicated lip balms with SPF and to reapply it several times in a day.that helps in reducing further darkening. Definite cream or any others having Comic acid can be used twice a day for lightening of lip color. It usually does not have side effects. However u can check for tolerance of the product by applying it for a short time on the first application. If you have a genetic tendency to dark lips, the pigmentation has chances of coming back after the cream is stopped. U can also opt for mild chemical peels once in 15-30 days to exfoliate better and lighten faster. Take care!

I have a pea size knot on the back of my hand. Its like its attached to the tendon of my middle finger. When I bend that finger, it moves forward. When I straighten the finger, it moves back where it started. It doesnt move when I bend the other fingers. What is it?
|
Hi, This is likely to be a ganglion. This is a cyst-like swelling in the tendon. It is not serious. If it is causing pain, it can easily be removed by a minor surgical procedure. Chat Doctor.

Im a 54 year old female who has been under a lot of stress. Recently I have been noticing weird things. I start reading articles in the middle or the end. Last night while reading a book I started reading sentences backwards. What could this possible be a sign of?
|
HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, this odd behavior is towards depression. In that case, you need some antidepressant that would help to come out of such symptoms. You can also try some relaxation technique and lifestyle modification method. You should consult a psychiatrist for proper mental status evaluation and in case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks

Hi doctor I ve noticed little red dots on my foreskin . it does nt hurt when I urinate.it s been the second time now in a month.just hoping and praying it s not herpes. my foreskin is kind of tight when I have an erection. The tip of my penis touched a dirty toilet when I sat down.
|
It is not herpes. As herpes lesions are so much painful. Foreskin is tight at the time of erection normally. Red dots on your skin are glands and Sega. So do not worry as you are having everything normal. Penis skin is protected by skin and secretions. So single touch with toilet seat can not cause any type of infection. Hope my answer helped you. Take care.

Hi there! I am 18 years old, I weigh around 82kg/180lbs at a height of 184cm/76 inches For about two years now I ve been having problems with hypertension. Not only that, I also experience that weird chest pain very often, don t know if palpitations or angina is the right word, either way it s not that painful but it makes me feel very uncomfortable, followed by fear or even panic attacks (for obvious reasons, I guess). About a month ago I had a blood pressure of 198/144 (it was late in the evening and I was about to go to bed), whereupon we called an ambulance that brought me to the hospital. I spent the next two weeks there and they conducted a wide array of different tests including blood tests, urinalysis, fecal occult blood test, trans-esophageal echo, loads of ECG s (had a long-term ECG done about a year prior to that), long-term blood pressure recordings, an eye test and two magnetic resonances. All these tests were negative, meaning they did not find what was causing my problems. They did, however, notice that there was an unusually high amount of some hormone in my blood. Ever since I ve been monitoring my blood pressure on a daily basis. (about once or twice a day). I have to take an ACE inhibitor and a 5mg Beta blocker every day in the morning (again, I m only 18!). It has always been in the green area or slightly above the normal. However, sometimes the sign for irregular heartbeat comes up. And I still experience these unpleasant sensations in the area where my heart is. Today around noon it was at 117/78. But when I measured it later that day, at around 8 p.m., I had 143/128! Now, I know that s way above the average but what was I supposed to do? Call 911 and go through all of this again?? I decided not to do that and keep an eye on that myself. I re-measured it about 20 minutes later and noticed that the diastolic number decreased to 95 while to systolic one went up to over 150. Probably because I got very nervous. Even though doctors ensured me that there was no life-threatening danger, I always fear the possibility of a stroke or a heart attack when stuff like this happens. What I could extrapolate from this is that apparently my blood pressure greatly fluctuate throughout the day. Some additional data: *My mom also has hypertension and takes meds since she is 40 or something *Her father, my grandfather, died at the age of 50 because of a heart-related disease *I sweat a lot *I often find it hard to fall asleep because I am worried about my health and because I have this uncomfortable feeling in my chest, which most of the time is gone completely or very weak when I wake up again *Sometimes it feels as though my heart skips a beat, I can clearly feel it and it makes me become very aware of my heartbeat. This also comes with lightheadedness from time to time. *Often, shortly before falling asleep, some of my limbs move without me wanting them to move *I often have a headache, however I doubt it s related to my blood pressure *Sometimes I experience what I believe is tachycardia, a very fast heartbeat *It would be a lie to say I m sporty but I m not obese either *I don t do drugs, I don t smoke and I only drink alcohol occasionally So, I would like to know if it is possible for someone like me to have a high blood pressure without anything to fear. Is my life-expectancy significantly shortened by this? Do I need to take more meds?Could it be that it s my mind causing all of this? As impolite as this may sound, I do not need any calming words unless they are backed up by medical facts. I greatly appreciate any help I can get and I wanna thank you in advance for taking the time to read all this! If you need any additional information from my clinical record I will gladly provide it to you. Also, I am very sorry for the broken English! (I am not a native speaker)

Hello there As an 18-year-old you seem to have undergone a lot of activity in the hospital. Apart from your fears and anxieties here is what I feel. You need to get 24 hr urinary catecholamines done along with an MRI of the abdomen focussed on your Chat Doctor. If after these tests they find anything relevant please let me know. For the rest of your problems a small antianxiety

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: Hi there! I am 18 years old, I weigh around 82kg/180lbs at a height of 184cm/76 inches For about two years now I ve been having problems with hypertension. Not only that, I also experience that weird chest pain very often, don t know if palpitations or angina is the right word, either way it s not that painful but it makes me feel very uncomfortable, followed by fear or even panic attacks (for obvious reasons, I guess). About a month ago I had a blood pressure of 198/144 (it was late in the evening and I was about to go to bed), whereupon we called an ambulance that brought me to the hospital. I spent the next two weeks there and they conducted a wide array of different tests including blood tests, urinalysis, fecal occult blood test, trans-esophageal echo, loads of ECG s (had a long-term ECG done about a year prior to that), long-term blood pressure recordings, an eye test and two magnetic resonances.

My 12 year old daughter has mild autism and epilepsy. She has been complaining of abdominal discomfort and headaches. This evening I noticed she has bruising along her spine starting at the base and goes about six inches up is this something I should be concerned about?
|
Thank you for following up. Bruising is usually result of hit due her epilepsy attack or other causes. She has lots of bruising that's why I suggest her blood vessels are weak and easy injured. In addition, we can check blood test and plat elates with clotting for excluding of some hematological diseases. For speedy disappearing of bruising you can apply small amounts heparin ointment, for example- tomophobe, if she complains a pain then apply diclofenac gel for relief the best Be healthy!

Also on sept. 17 i went through e.r. cause o was constipayed. now im fone. can you help me?

Hello there! Pain is the gift of procedures, bowel chemistry changes, adhesions occur after manipulation, tubal ligation and hysterectomy, so nearby adhesions might be the reason for your pain, Going often to washroom explains frequency issues. Is it urine or stools, if urine get a urine routine exam and if stools modify the diet with more fiber in it. It hurts on breathing with kinda want to throw up these symptoms occur when gall bladder is in trouble. Tpo be on the safer road do a simple ultrasound abdomen and pelvis with serum amylase urinary amylase to lipase ratio and plain digital abdominal X-ray AP view. Constipation gives a suspicion of ovarian pain, chocolate cysts are associated with alternate diarrhea and constipation. An ultrasound will help. , meanwhile try some antispasmodics like season, and NSAIDs, I hope this would help, I am here if you need me regards Chat Doctor.

i have no room for my wisdom teeth so doctor suggested for the extraction of the wisdom teeth. Is extraction that necessary? Does it have any side effects like loss of sight etc.. ? Will I face any problems or pain infuture after extraction of teeth?

Hello and thank you for your questions. The risks of losing your sight from an extraction of third molars is close to impossible. Most common side effects of third molar extractions are temporary:-Swelling-Bleeding-Pain-Bruising-Stiffness in Jaw Less likely side effects-breaking of parts of jaw requiring the bone to be smoothed with a file....pieces of bone this big: { }-numbness or loss of feeling in the lower lip (1% chance with 0.1% being permanent)-infection-alterations in the sense of smell or taste (highly unlikely)-breaking of the roots requiring more invasive surgery (if this occurs you wouldn't even know when they were doing it)-TMD-Death (most often associated with inhaling the extracted tooth into the lungs-we use precautions to prevent this) or allergic or physiological reactions to heavy sedatives used in sedation cases. I have extracted Hun Chat Doctor. I've had three infections, but that was due to patients poking at the extraction sites with dirty fingers. The rest healed and recovered without incident. Best wishes and good health

Hello good day, Im having problem with my epididymitis infection I had my checkup last 3weeks before and was given by an antibiotic Ciprobay 21 tablets 3 times a day then it worked well but just now its been a week it came back again, what should I do?
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this epididymitis that you have reported. I will suggest that you get re-evaluated and do a urine and semen culture to find out what the causative germ is and what antibiotic is best to treat this infection. Maybe the germ was not exactly sensitive to ciprofloxacin and did not result in a complete sterilization of the infection site. Also, how is your sexual life? If you have multiple sexual partners and do not use protection all the times, you need to start doing so. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be, and I will gladly respond to.

Good evening, I had surgery to remove some fibroids and two growths, I am waiting for the results, I should find out on July 12th whether it is cancerous and if so I want to have a hysterectomy , I want to know if sex is still enjoyable after a hysterectomy, I am 71 and my partner is 72, we have been together for 28 years and have been having a great sexual relationship.
|
Hi dear, Sex is just as much enjoyable after hysterectomy as before hysterectomy. Even if there is some shortening in the length of vagina due to surgery, it gradually gets elongated to the size before surgery with intercourse. After menopause there may be some Chat Doctor. So, I'm sure you can look forward to continuing a great sexual relationship after hysterectomy. Get well soon.

This afternoon I hurt my knee when a wave crashed on it. There was a popping sound and I couldnt stand up as the pain was severe. A few hours after my knee started to swell. Is it safe to fly tomorrow.....? I am on a 6 hour flight back home. I am doing the R.I.C.E.
|
Its looks like you may have some ligament injury. Take rest don't give stress on that knee. Put some ice. If swelling is increasing go to local health care facility. After 3 days do a MRI

I was diagnosed 8 weeks ago with a large thoracic t8/9 herniation I have improved slightly and am waiting to see a nurosurgeon, my arms hurt , although the pain is much better I am so tired from the stinging burning in my back and feel I now have a trapped nerve, I am due to go on holiday in April should I be we ll enough to fly and are there any risks to me flying? So to ask further questions, but I do not know what I am allowed to do and what I am not, can drive, can I go swimming can I exercise? Please can you advise, I feel so alone , thankyou
|
Hello, Thoracic disc herniation because of the relatively difficult surgery, are treated initially conservatively with pain medication, rest, etc. In cases of spinal cord impingement and subsequent symptoms in the lower limbs (pain, weakness, numbness, urinary problems, etc.), surgery to decompress the spinal cord is necessary. Since you feel better, you can continue with conservative treatment. You can fly, but, avoid physical efforts, weights, etc. Moderate exercise may help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

HI,I have recently had a malignant melenoma removed, sentinal biopsy is all clear, negative and wider incision negative, but about 6 weeks after I have had a kind of weird chest infection which wont seem to go away with very bad caugh although it has eased since, but I am also getting pain in my arm pits on and off especially when I stress out , could this be because of some lymphoma under the arms from the removal. Ken
|
Sorry to hear about your recent health worries. It sounds like you have some kind of respiratory infection, and this can cause enlargement of the lymph nodes near the arm pit (the axillary region). This is probably more likely than a new cancer or lymphoma causing enlargement of these lymph nodes. I do suggest seeing your doctor about this infection though since it may be involving your lymph nodes. All the best and I hope you feel better.

Then I went to homeopathy again they given tests for scanning of scrotum , but it is not that much problem regarding the size. But lateral sides are small. Every month conducted semen analysis but no improvement in sperm count. Hormones tests also they have done, results shows that low testestrones and high FSH. They given medicines but no improvement for me. I took for 6 months and I left . No child after 2 years of marriage due to this infertility. Kindly give ur advise sir

Hey thanks for your faith in the Chat Doctor.I have gone through your question and understood your problem. What is your sperm count what percent of your sperms are motile? Please let me know the entire report. About the erection problem, you can try Tab Tadalafil at a low dose of 5 to 10 mg a little while before you need to perform. Also, time your performance according to her fertile period which starts on the 10th day after she gets her period. Meanwhile, get your Semen culture done to rule out any infection which can be a treatable cause of the problem. For the low count, you can try Ayurvedic medicines which have proven to increase the counts. Take care. Feel free to contact again

Fetal measurements: BDP = 7.69cm (corresponding 30 weeks 6 days) HC = 28.10cm (corresponding 30 weeks 6 days) AC = 26.68cm (corresponding 30 weeks 6 days) FL = 5.42cm (corresponding 28 weeks 5 days) Fetal weight is 1532+- 224grams AFI measures 17.8cm I am really worried because the doctor said the liquor is excessive
|
Hi, I guess your concern is about accuracy of gestational age according to your imp and by ultrasound. Firstly, my straight forward answer is that gestational age according to your LMP is more accurate than your ultrasound gestational age. Because gestational age accuracy is changing according to each trimester of pregnancy. And it is more accurate if it is done in first trimester (it is from 1-12 weeks) and its accuracy will decrease in second trimester (13-28 weeks) and it is lowest in third trimester(29-40 weeks). So gestational age according to your LMP is most accurate. Secondly you have query about your excess liquor. Because the normal liquor ranging from 5-18 cm, and during this gestational age liquor is usually excessive, it decreases with time. With the above informative you can try out my suggestions-1. Don't worry, everything is alright.2. According to your ultrasound findings your baby is growing normally.3. If you are still worried then feel free to discuss with your treating doctor/gynecologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised As post TKR you are having pain this is common, and it takes some time for the muscle to regain the flexibility. Once the flexibility is attained the knee regains the mobility and the pain subsidesAlso, the Strengthening of the muscles around the knee is needed to avoid any muscle pressure pain. In my clinical practice we do find patients post TKR complains of pain. We look forward for a complete clinical assessment and recommend physical therapy. They respond well.

|
This is definitely a sign of infection. Get it treated on emergency basis. Because with time it may get uncontrollable and severe complications. Blood sugar level must be brought under control, and foot should be examined for patency of blood vessels and nerve conduction.

I have told that my white blood cell count is 0.8 and that i need iron tablets for a low blood count, however i have been taking iron tablets since last July and although it has improved it appears i am still low, what could be wrong?I feel fine within myself

Hello, Good to contact us.

Hi I am Raj 26 years old I having the problem of sperm release in sleep from age of 18 now for 2 weeks I am having treatment for piles so please help me to cure sperm release it is very embarrassing at nights without my knowledge sperm releases......

Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum The body has a mechanism to replace older sperms with new one if not ejaculated by any means. So, night fall is the natural mechanism of body and is not a disease to be treated. Continue your treatment for piles and hope you understood it. All the best.

i consumed tablet minimum 30 in my life time. but now i m nt having tablets since from i1 year.........i am un married now. and working...i will get marriage in some months...my question is that is is that unwanted-72 causes on my childbearing? quick reply
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, thanks for posting your query. I understand your concern. Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill, and it should not be taken as a regular contraceptive pill. It is meant for emergency situations when you have unplanned unprotected sex. I strongly suggest you to stop taking the pill as regular as you are taking it now, because it sure does have side effects and I could cause permanent changes to your menstrual cycle too. It does have an effect on your chances of getting pregnant in the future. I advise you to meet a gynecologist at the earliest who will prescribe you a regular contraceptive pill which you can take daily to prevent pregnancy, also you could ask your partner to use condoms to avoid taking pills. Hope this helps, and answers your query satisfactorily. Do write back to me if you need further assistance, Wish you good health, Take care. Regards.

I am having horrible pain that is mostly on the right side under my rib cage.My stomach cant get any bigger or harder.Pressure like someone is pushing my ribs up,and pain from time to time radiates all around my rib cage.....Lately noticed I am a full blown narcoleptic....Please help.......Milena B.
|
Hi Milena ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it needs clinical assessment for a diagnosis, from your history, it seems that you have inflammation/calculi in your gall bladder/biliary system giving rise to such intermittent severe pain. If I were your doctor, I would advise you to avoid fatty/oily food which would precipitate the pain more due to contraction of the gall bladder to empty bile into the intestines. I would advise you a bland diet, some routine investigations like a CBC, a blood sugar, liver function test, a serum amylase and lipase to rule out associated pancreatitis, and an ultrasound abdomen to see the status of the biliary tree including the gall bladder to exclude a stone causing cholecystitis and also to know the status of the pancreas. Further management would depend on the result of clinical examination and reports of the related investigations. Till then, you could go for an anti-spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. 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 4 year old son just had x-rays and after going going to the same dentists every 6 months since he was 1 i was just told he has 7 cavities and has to have 4 root canals. I am beyond upset and feel they missed something months back and feel like this is beyond crazy. no soda, and little juice are given to my kids, good diets are met so i am so in shock!! do i need to get a second opinion or do the x-rays just tell it all?
|
Hello, If your dentist has given exact clinical as well as x-ray evaluation, you can trust on him. Root canal treatment is usually done in cases of cavities involving pulp tissue. In this procedure, entire infected pulp has to be removed. You can also go for a second opinion. Brush your children teeth regularly. Rinse mouth after every meal. Take care.

I have a red skin rash in the folds/rolls of my fat belly, on and behind my ears and under my breasts. Fiery red and dry and itchy and sometimes raw and hurts. Was told it was a yeast infection like atletes foot and have been using Clotrimazole USP 1% cream and Nystatin powder alternately to no avail, had it a long time - HELP!
|
Hello, Thanks for the query. Itching and rash in all the folds cannot be due to fungal infection. Probably you are suffering from airborne contact dermatitis. You might require treatment with oral and systemic steroids depending on the severity of condition. Let me know if you have any other doubt. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

My dad was recently diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in the left lower lobe of his lung with a uptake in a lymph node. He is not a candidate for surgery or chemotherapy due to other health issues, COPD being one of them, and his age of 89. What exactly does this mean and what is his prognosis of recovery?
|
Hi. There is no treatment other than surgery and chemotherapy presently available in English medicine. We need to look into the stage of the disease and extent of disease. As per my knowledge no other alternative is available. Kindly meet the oncologist, and he should explain to you the treatment protocol. Thank u

My elderly mother complains that her chest and arms hurts when she urinates. The pain shoots down to her hands and stops when she is through urninating. Could this be a symptom of something else? She says she has a kidney infection but I wonder if she means bladder infection. Although, she says it does not hurt when she pees.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Neither kidney infection nor bladder infection can cause chest pain and arm pain while urination. These infections will cause burning and painful micturition, but she is not excreting having all these symptoms, so no need to worry about infection. Urination is considered as moderate heavy exertion. So basically she is having chest and arm in on moderate heavy exertion. So we should first rule out heart diseases for this. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about this chest and arm pain. Sometimes, simple musculoskeletal pain due to awkward position while urination can also cause similar pain. So don't worry, she will be alright. Better to first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

Today I had a sudden swelling of veins in my left wrist and pain. The pain went away rather quickly but the swelling is still very much present and ya 38 year old female. Should I be concerned? I have also recently been told that my white blood cell count was very high.

Hi, It could be an inflammatory lesion. Consult an orthopedic and get an MRI scan done. As of now, analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Diclofenac/Serratiopeptidase can be taken for symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have had an abscessed tooth and am now experiencing nausea, stiffness and pain in my upper abdomen and a burning sensation down my neck and in my chest. I am currently on an antibiotic, but not sure if I should go back to the doctor again to address the most current symptoms
|
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you having tooth abscess and taking antibiotic for it. Now this symptom could be because of gastritis induce by antibiotic. Are you taking which antibiotic ?? It is better to take omeprazole plus risperidone combination Chat Doctor. Get your CBC count done. If high count with necrophilia even after use of antibiotic, then chest x-ray done to just rule out spread of infection to lung parenchymal. If fever increasing and chances of infection spread into blood lead to bacteremia then intravenous antibiotic may be needed. I hope my suggestion will be useful to you.

Hello, I started my period on June 4th and ended on the 8th and I had sex with one guy that night. On the 11th of June I had sex with another guy but he put on a condom 5 minutes after we started to keep from nutting inside of me. I had sex with the first guy again on June 15th. I later had sex with the same guy that whole next week. I missed my period for July & when I took a pregnancy test on July 6th I was pregnant. I went to the doctor and they said I was approximately 8 weeks pregnant. My due date was March 7th 2015 but when I went to get an ultrasound on August 11th my doctor told me my due date was now March 11th 2015 and I conceived between June 13-15th. So who is the father? I believe I got pregnant on July 18th because of my first due date on March 11th. I just think my baby is growing fast so therefore the CRL measurements of my baby made the doctor change my due date to March 7th.
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Unfortunately, ultrasound findings of the dating the pregnancy can be off for up to five days. So the changing of your due date by four days does not really change the possibility of your first partner having been the father of your baby. Furthermore, sperm can remain alive in your genital tract for up to five days, and once you ovulate, the egg remains alive inside you for up to 72 hours. This is the reason that no test can accurately assess the date of conception based on the exact dates that you had intercourse. Women typically ovulate two weeks before their period arrives. If you have a 28-day cycle, and your last period started on June 4, you likely ovulated around June 18. So either of the men you had sex with between the 15th and approximately the 20th could be the father of your baby. I hope that this information was helpful to you and that I was able to adequately answer your question even though it is not possible with medical science to determine the paternity of your pregnancy. I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy and good health. Best wishes,

i have hypersensitive glans i m 19 years old ... icant even touch my glans ... so what can i do?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. The problems are not with the glans. The glans is supposed to be sensitive because it has nerve endings which will be stimulated during sexual intercourse. It has to be stimulated when inside vagina and makes up and down movement. That is the reason why the glans has been provided with covering in the form of foreskin. Everyone has the glans sensitive and yours is no exemption. Don't worry about that. Hyper sensitive is not the word to describe it. Hope this answers your query. Available for further sexological clarifications. Good luck.

my son has a lump in his neck, thyroid tests clear. He had a biopsy yesterday and we now wait for results. The lump sometimes reduces in size - today we thought it had disappeared but now it is back. It only hurts because it is pressing on his throat. We are worried it is thyroid cancer. His voice is ok (though he shouts as his dog on his farm and this causes hoarseness!!!). He has had a very large amount of stress recently and has lost weight - could the lump be linked to stress?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The different things can arise are hypoglossal cyst, brachealcleft cyst, lymphocele, and a lipoma.2.If this case I would get an ultrasound neck done and see the content and extension of the lesion and come to a conclusion.3. As you have already got a sample taken - wait for the result.4. And after that needful action can be taken. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

My sister is dealing with trigeminal neuralgia. So much pain even when she swallows. Can not eat or even brush her teeth without pain. Neurontin cause her blood pressure to go up. She has been dealing with this for several months. She has been to her dentist, had chiropractic adjustments (which did help some). Also been to a neurologist one day, he will be out of the offfice for 3 weeks. Her next appt in 2 months. She does has an appt with another neurologist next week. But she is having a lot of pain today and for the last several days. Has lost 7 lbs (she cannot afford to lose). Any suggestions?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I can understand the extent of discomfort in your sister, on account of facial pain due to trigeminal neuralgia. Neurontin has been tried but is causing side effects. The best medication to be used in trigeminal neuralgia is regret (carbamazepine). I use it in initial doses of 200 mg twice daily, and depending on the response, the dose can be gradually increased to 600 mg twice daily. It is a generally safe medication, however, it may cause Chat Doctor. Some patients may not respond to regret. They should undergo MRI and MR angiogram to find out the underlying reason for trigeminal neuralgia. Such refractory cases may require a surgery called as microvascular decompression (MVD). I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes,

I have been experiencing pulsating sharp pains inside the right side of my neck, for the past couple of weeks. Sometimes I only have this a couple of times a day, sometimes 3 or 4. It feels like I m being zapped in my neck with quick electric shocks, and it is painful. These episodes last about 3 to 5 mins. It happens only in one spot in my neck, and I m getting worried about it. I get a very slight ache in the temple area after an episode. Can you help me identify what might be causing this, and what should I do about it
|
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to occipital neuralgia. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a cervical spine X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation). In the meantime, I recommend taking Indomethacin 150 mg twice daily for a week (if there are no contraindications). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi my twin brother had a test on his heart done and was told he had 2 black spots. He has to have another cath done and the cardiologist seem to be really concerned about the spots.

Hello Doctor! I am on 10 weeks of my pregnancy. I am a Beta Thalassemia career/ trait and my husband is E trait/ career. Is there any test in India other than CVS? We want to be sure that the unborn baby is not a Thalassemia Major. Thank you! Christine
|
HI, I understand your concern. Apart from CVS, Thalassemia can be diagnosed by fetal blood analysis (after 18 weeks) by using capillary electrophoresis method. It is mostly available in most Metropolitan cities in India, Thanks.

I have large painful abscess obove my right molar, cheek is swollen gum swollen I am allergic to most antibiotics but have heard they do not reach inside abscess anyway, my creatine is 85, my blood pressure 100/60 - I am distraught dont know what to do next Dr gave me antibiotics I wish I could take them but I cant as I react badly every time. Anne

Hi. Thanks for the query. If you have a tooth abscess that is due to infection in the tooth which has progressed below the root tips causing infection and pus formation. Antibiotics are a must to be taken in this case as it will fight infection and reduce the pus and swelling. So if you are allergic to a number of antibiotics, then first you should go for a blood test to rule out the safe antibiotics for you and then your Dentist can prescribe the same to you as taking antibiotics is a must for reducing infection. Once the infection becomes less than the tooth can be treated with root canal treatment or extraction can be done depending upon the condition of the tooth. You also need to take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Advil or Alive and serratiopeptidases. Do cool compresses over the swelling and do warm saline gargles. Hope this helps. Regards.

both of my husband s calves, ankles and feet are swollen and very tight, along with a red blotchy rash . A recent blood test said his red blood cell count was low. He has an appt with a doctor on Monday, but has been complaining of pain today. Urgent care visit gave him lasix and bactrim , stating it could be an infection. He had a chest x-ray and it was ok. I m just worried this is more of a serious issue that requires an ER visit versus waiting till Monday. He was diagnosed with Hep C, and slight liver cirrosis about 12 years ago, but tests after two treatments with interferon came back clear and the doctor said he could no longer see any sign of it. Could any of what he is experiencing have to do with his liver? The calves are very tight to the touch.
|
ER visit is must...it might be an internal bleeding because of prolongation of prothrombin time...as your previous history suggests liver cirrhosis...all d best!!

Hi, I have been having lower abdominal cramps and back pains since a month. I do have diarrhea occasionally whenever I drink excess of coffee for 1-2 days. I do hear some sounds from my stomach also at times. The pain is more in the evenings. It is a dull pain which is more when I am sitting. My stool color seems to be fine. Sometimes it is in the regular banana shape and other times it is broken into many pieces. I consulted a doctor he has advised me to take omeprazole 20 mg for a month. I have taken it for a week and still I do not see a great improvement. It may have improved slightly. I would request you to please give me a suggestion.Regards

i am 34 years old.fair complexion .i have sevral age spots brown in colour on my face.i applied melacre for the first time and the spots had disappeared.now they have appeared again on my face.i have been applying melacare and depiwhite alternatively on the for the past 6 months but there has been no improvement.kindly suggest me a cream or an ointment which can help ins fading these brown spots.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. You seem to have postinflammatory hyperpigmentation or plasma. Melacare contains steroid called mometasone. It is a potent steroid and long term use can damage your skin permanently. For pigmentation as a general rule-Avoid sun exposure Use a good sunscreen of SPF 30 and repeat application every 3 to 4 hours Take antioxidant and vitamin C supplements. You can apply Closely cream at nighttime over the affected area. You need to consult a dermatologist as dermatology being a visual field, the cause for your pigmentation and the treatment required can only be suggested after proper skin examination. Chemical peeling can give good and long-lasting results. Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have recently visited my doctors for extreme abdominal pain especially on my right side and central stomach . He sent me for blood and stool samples (suspecting gallstones) but i am waiting for the results. I ve just been sleeping and woke up with excruciating stomach pain. Went to the bathroom, passed stools but they where like stones, all clumped together and very very hard but covered in blood. And i mean covered. I have had blood in my stools for a while now and the pain is getting worse. I have pics if that helps? Thanks.

Hi there, what you have described suggests that you are suffering from constipation and have developed anal fissures due to the hard stools. Your stomach ache could be related to that. You need to use stool softeners and a local anesthetic jelly for complete evacuation of your bowels. Due to the pain you are not able to do so and that in turn is causing constipation and hard stools. You need to take something to soften your stools and evacuate it regularly for a week to 10 days and also lidocaine jelly for local application at the anal fissure to let it heal. After that you need to have food with high fiber like green leafy veg. And fruits regularly. You also need to shift from refined food products to wholesome grains. Get regular exercise as they also help in regularizing your bowel movements. Chat Doctor. These simple measures should help or else your doctor might recommend some surgical procedure. Take care

### Question: Hi, I have recently visited my doctors for extreme abdominal pain especially on my right side and central stomach . He sent me for blood and stool samples (suspecting gallstones) but i am waiting for the results. I ve just been sleeping and woke up with excruciating stomach pain. Went to the bathroom, passed stools but they where like stones, all clumped together and very very hard but covered in blood. And i mean covered. I have had blood in my stools for a while now and the pain is getting worse. I have pics if that helps? Thanks.
### Answer: Hi there, what you have described suggests that you are suffering from constipation and have developed anal fissures due to the hard stools. Your stomach ache could be related to that. You need to use stool softeners and a local anesthetic jelly for complete evacuation of your bowels. Due to the pain you are not able to do so and that in turn is causing constipation and hard stools. You need to take something to soften your stools and evacuate it regularly for a week to 10 days and also lidocaine jelly for local application at the anal fissure to let it heal. After that you need to have food with high fiber like green leafy veg. And fruits regularly. You also need to shift from refined food products to wholesome grains.

hi, my 2 yr old daugter has purple hard lumps all over the bottom of both feet , she tries and scratches her feet and complains she has bindis. i have checked her hands and other parts but only on her feet , i noticed them 2 days ago , but more now ?? what could it be ?

Hi... I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards -

Hi, In active Pulmonary TB, infiltrates or consolidations and cavities are often seen in the upper lungs with or without mediastinal or Hilary lymphadenopathy. However, lesions may appear anywhere in the lungs. In HIV and other immunosuppressed persons, any abnormality may indicate TB or the chest x-ray may even appear entirely normal. Old healed tuberculosis usually presents as pulmonary nodules in the Hilary area or upper lobes, with or without fibrotic scars and value loss Bronchiectasis and pleural scaling may be present. Herbal Remedies. 1, GARLIC may boost the immune system and also has antibacterial properties. 2. Milk is the rich source of calcium and is much needed to cure TB fast. 3. Vitamin D to the successful prevention and treatment of TB. Take a high quality COD LIVER OIL capsules. 4. Take THALEESHADI CHURN with OSHAWA KATHAK SINGER added with honey, twice daily. 5. Take CARAVAN IRISH AMELIA two times daily with milk. 6. Take VASARISHTAM 30 ml twice daily.

Hi, I can understand your concern regarding the behavior of your brother. His behavior is definitely of concern, and he will need complete evaluation for proper diagnosis and management.

I am a healthy, 36 yr old female and fell hitting my chin on the hardwood floor a week ago. There was bad bruising, which is now diminishing, but the area of impact is hard and almost independent (i can feel a lump independent of the rest of my chin). Is this to be expected? Should I wait a little longer to see if it sustains?
|
Hi, It seems that there might be having hematoma formation at the site of impact. Now it is localized and independent lump is seen. Nothing to worry, gradually it will be absorbed. Apply ice pack for few days. Apply Thrombophob locally. Ok and take care.

I had my gallbladder removed in 2003. I have been having a lot of pain in that area pretty much ever since. I am told that there is no reason for this pain but what can I tell you, I know if I have pain or not. So I saw through an e-ray once that there are surgical clips in that area. Could these clips be causing me this pain?
|
HI, Thank for asking to ChatDoctorThe pain may not be due to the clips, you can try some antispasmodic Chat Doctor.

my husband has a severe rash up his arm. he started out with a burn and he was treating the burn with ice then he got an infection and he started treating it with peroxide or other medicated powders to try and dry it up. He went to the dr and the dr prescribed an antibiotic not sure what it was but it began with a k. then when that didnt help he put him on fluconazole and a ketoconazole cream which also isnt doing anything. he called the dr back today but hasnt heard anything back yet any ideas
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern for your husband and looking to the history given here I could say that this could be allergic condition and this could become around with anti histamine and the best option is Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, and this would come around with this, take care and have a nice day.

Hi Doctor Im a 26 year old , healthy female and have been going through stressful changes recently. Lately, every time Im about to dose of to sleep my heart beat raises, and my breathing gets heavier. It goes back to normal as soon as I fully wake up. Sometimes I try not to pay attention and fall asleep.
|
Hi, This is Chat Doctor. Increased heart rate & palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo & thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any. Thanks

Hi My 22 yrs old nephew met with a car accident on 18th Apr 2014. GCS 3. He is in coma since then. He has acquired ICU infections, Klebsiella fever 104 , but better now , put on collistine, he has had slight infection in blood and urine as well; Motor movement: left hand , yawn, spomtaneous eye movement; it is E3VtM4 since May 2nd week; last 1 week hand raising and grabbing the tubes once in a while. Right frontal lobe, facial fractures; Do u think he is getting better? Is it advisable to move him to another hospital, he need venti support now and then; CT scans are better doc says; No surgery was required.
|
Hi, Thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As it was an ETA and serious injuries leading to low GCS score, he needs a thorough attention. CT is always good for helping Doctor for planning further medical management. As his hand movement are recovering there will be a positive sign as well. Grabbing the tube is due to the irritation happening to the trachea and the brain is trying to perform some activity for hand to move and grab the tubes out. This is a positive reaction but by grabbing the tube and pulling it out may lead to serious issues. Now since we have to only wait and see how his brain is recovering from the TBI as its all-time framed reactions. Also, if the ventilator is advised than there is a serious brain stem issue for which an MRI or CT has to be performed. Surgery for anything may not be of a good choice since the patient is in comatose state. Also, having the urine and lung infection he may need a good oxygen supply for allowing the body to heal. As oxygen is a major source of energy supply for the normal human physiological functions to keep in mind that many of the infections are due to hospital acquired, and he needs to be kept completely hygienic for each and everything. Frontal lobe injury will take its own time to injury and since the brain will be still in a shock state this comatose state will come down as the inflammation in the brain comes down. Important to mention that shifting the patient in this situation for more than 20 kilometers will not be good Chat Doctor.

By the way his GP advice is to use Bromhexine 3 times a day, but i prefer not, what is your idea?

Hello, Babies below one year of age are very tiny and sensitive, so it is always better to use as less medicine as possible. And the problem you have described is very common in babies. I suggest you to give steam inhalation to the baby, and hopefully he will be improved. If still problem persists after 2/3 days, then you can use chlorpheniramine male ate Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Help I am a 27 year old female who is fairly active. While I have always had problems with my knees especially my right knee recently. I ve never really gone to the doctor and had an actual diagnosis that anything is wrong yet though. But I was laying on my stomach on a lawn chair outside and when I stood up to walk inside my knee started hurting. Not like the usual pain it was very foreign and very weird. I looked down at my knee and it looked fine until I went to bend it. When I bend it something protrudes from my knee cap and it looks whitish. The pain isn t as bad now I can walk on it but it is really bothering me to what it could be.
|
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised with MRI of knee. As the pain in the knee is persisting a thorough assessment is needed. Due to ligament injuries within the knee joint, such types of pain can be expected. On a longer run, this ligament injuries if left untreated leads to early OA knee, that is the degenerative changes in the knee joint. Also, undergoing an MRI of the knee should help understand the soft tissues better and then you have to undergo physical therapy for 2-3 weeks post which you can follow the exercises at home itself. Any prevention in the early stages provides good results. In my clinical experience, early detection helps in early time and late detection cases responds slowly. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

hi I am a 27 yo male. I am highly sexually active . In 2009 I was diagnosed with UTI after having multiple sex partners the same time. I had some white pus come out of penis & had burning on urinating . My left prostate got slightly enlarged. I was given a dose of antobiotics which I took regularly & the symptoms subsided. Some things stayed the same such as 1. feeling of testes being a little tight 2. slower urination 3. Semen is yellowish or pale in color. ( I do intake onions regularly but even when I dont & then ejaculate the color is yellow or pale) 4. Pain slight heavy feeling in testes while sitting its been few yrs now and the above 3 still exist. I have met many urologists .. all acknowledge but say it is fine . 3 days back I ejaculated in bed ( wet dream) but I found it was somewat painful. Yesterday I had oral sex and again I found ejaculation a bit painful. Please advise if there is anything serious ? Also pls advise if there is a test I could do to check testosterone level.

Hello Thanks for query. The symptoms that you have strongly suggest being due to Chronic Prostatitis. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis3) Semen examination and semen culture.In the meanwhile start taking antibiotics like Doxycycline along with anti-inflammatory medicine Diclofenac twice daily. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. Please note that Prostatitis takes long time to get cured hence one has to take appropriate antibiotics for a period of 6-8 weeks. Chat Doctor.

### Question: hi I am a 27 yo male. I am highly sexually active . In 2009 I was diagnosed with UTI after having multiple sex partners the same time. I had some white pus come out of penis & had burning on urinating . My left prostate got slightly enlarged. I was given a dose of antobiotics which I took regularly & the symptoms subsided. Some things stayed the same such as 1. feeling of testes being a little tight 2. slower urination 3. Semen is yellowish or pale in color. ( I do intake onions regularly but even when I dont & then ejaculate the color is yellow or pale) 4. Pain slight heavy feeling in testes while sitting its been few yrs now and the above 3 still exist. I have met many urologists .. all acknowledge but say it is fine . 3 days back I ejaculated in bed ( wet dream) but I found it was somewat painful. Yesterday I had oral sex and again I found ejaculation a bit painful. Please advise if there is anything serious ? Also pls advise if there is a test I could do to check testosterone level.

Have swollen eyes, red almost burnt like patches on side of face, itching and burning/itching under my ear lopes what is this. Say allegry doctor a week ago. allergic to grass, birch. ragweed. dont think this is causing anything at this time of year..From Minnesota

Hi and welcome to ChatDoctorFrom your description it does seem like an allergic reaction. The causes maybe various-food items, dust, pollen, outdoor plants, any recent outdoor activity, new cosmetics or jewelry(earrings), also could be due to sun exposure which may have aggravated an allergy. Did you take any new medication? In any case keep a note of whether it is increasing and if there are any factors which cause it to increase. Does anyone around have similar complaints? Take a course of antihistamines like fexofenadine daily for a week. If the rash is severe apply a light layer of fluticasone cream at night for a week and stop. During the day you can use a soothing lotion with calamine/aloe vera for the face. Use a gentle cleanser. If it persists inspire of treatment consult your dermatologist. Also, you can do tests for allergy sensitivity if required. Do remember, if you are allergic to something, you must be careful to avoid it, as any re exposure will cause a reaction again. So keep a track of such events. Hope this helps.

Hi John, Thanks for writing in. You seem to have postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. For pigmentation as a general rule-Avoid sun exposure Use a good sunscreen of SPF 30 and repeat application every 3 to 4 hours Take antioxidant and vitamin C supplements. Photoban 30 is a sunscreen and use it continuously. You need to consult a dermatologist as dermatology being a visual field, the cause for your pigmentation and the treatment required can only be suggested after proper skin examination. Treatments like chemical peeling will be very helpful. Discuss these option with your dermatologist. Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query my opinion is that you are suffering from cervical neuropathy. It may be due to spondylitis and cervical disc prolapse, mostly. Avoid pillow, take analgesics and vitamin B12. Consult orthopaedician and have an x-ray and MRI done. Consult physiotherapist, learn physiotherapy, for static neck muscle exercises. Hope hour query get solved. Welcome for further queries.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. A good alternative to treat Craniopharyngioma is Stereotactic Radiosurgery. This can be done in highly specialized neurosurgical centers. It is a single session treatment and short hospitalization (usually one day). Hope this helps.

Last night I was at a party with no available restroom. I had been drinking, so I had to go really bad, but I held it until I got home. I ran straight to bathroom, sat down and started to go, I went a lot at first, then suddenly without warning it completely stopped midstream. I still had the urge to urinate, and my bladder still felt very full, and I was experiencing some burning. I tried pushing but could not get a single drop out. When I wiped with the tissue I felt something hard, I was mortified to feel a kidney stone lodged in my urethra! Part of it was sticking out, I could grab it with my fingernails, but I couldn t pull it out. I spent nearly 2 hours wiggling it, pulling it, pushing it, trying to turn it but it was stuck. Finally it came out, and I was able to void my bladder, and I m feeling fine. I had no warning, I m familiar with kidney stones, I ve passed many before, the biggest bring 8mm. Those always caused me excruciating pain, but this one did not. All day I was wearing a tight corset as part of my Halloween costume, maybe I was compressed so tight I didn t feel it? I don t know. I measured my stone and it it 18mm. I always was told a stone that large would be unable to pass, so I m wondering if stones that large are common, and if people pass them without medical intervention, or am I unique??

HelloThanks for query. You are known to pass urinary stones through urethra frequently But you had retention of urine due to impacted stone of a size of 18 mm in urethra which finally passed out giving you excruciating pain. The reasons for not feeling the pain due to such a large stone are 1)With history of passing stones repeatedly your ureters are dilated and capacious enough to accommodate this stone without pain .2) The shape of the stone may be oval like a peanut without spikes helping it to pass down through dilated ureter without any obstruction and pain . We do get patients with passing large sized stone without pain. This is very common in patients who have history of repeated and recurrence of stone disease. Chat Doctor.
