Hi, If you notice two pink lines with the test, the result is positive and this means you are pregnant. You may repeat the test with a fresh early morning sample of urine. If you usually have your periods around a week late, you should perform the test after this week of waiting is over which I think you have already done. Please see a specialist for clinical confirmation. You can also get a trans-vaginal sonogram to assess the status. Hope your query is clarified. Take care.

I have been experiencing stiffness in my joints when I wake up. This includes my TMJ. I have gone to a dentist and he can no longer help me with that. It seems like I am getting worse. On top of that I have edema, swollen knees, hair loss, weight gain, and depression.

Im 31 weighing 70kg. Ive never had a dental problem but my palate has become very sensitive. At first I thought it was the toothpaste I was using but I have long since discontinued using it. What causes a sensitive palate? Im concerned. Its been 3 months now.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Palate sensitivity as you are having can be due to various reasons few being having scalding cup of coffee or some really hot and spicy food, which may burn the palate. Palate can also usually hurt when you have a bacterial or viral infection like throat, sinus infection, thrush or even the common cold. If you are under stress the formation of canker sores can also be a reason. I would advise to reduce the spicy food if you take any, and reduce the stress levels which can be increasing the problem. You can apply Mucosal/Denote for relief two to three times a day. Do warm saline gargling. Consult a GP and start with multivitamin. If still not better consult your dentist, and he will have a look at it and suggest the best possible treatment. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards. Any further queries are welcome.

I am a 50yr old female and I have hypothyroid, breast cancer , and fibro just to name a few. I had a bilateral mastectomy 6/23, and removal of my gallbladder at the same time. My surgeon ordered cbc w/dif and these were the abnormalities: platelets 665, alk phos. 195, rbc 3.57, hemo 11.0, hematocrit 34.2, mpv 5.8, lymph 19,mono 11, and EO 7. I am wondering if this could be a bone marrow problem, or something else. I know it points to anemia but Im just wondering if something is going on with my bone marrow. Your thoughts?? I don t believe I have any vitamin deficincies, but with high alk phos, platelets and low rbc, Im inclind to go the bone marrow route. Thanks!
Welcome to ChatDoctorRead your prob, high monocyte n eosinophil are due to chronic inflammatory condition like great cancer n operation so do not bother about it. Like this there is no significant of high platelets count it happen due to vasoconstriction. So there is no need of bone marrow examination.

Hi.. I had a pair of high heel boots on last Sunday. I walked on a slippery floor and fell flat on my butt very hard! The way I fell was simular to a James Brown spit with one leg foward and the other bent. I was able to get up on my with very little pain at the time. I figured the pain would present the next day in my leg or tail bone but to my surprise the pain was very mild in my leg and there was no pain in bottom at all. I noticed two days later my side was hurting with a mild to moderate pain. The pain is located exactly in a certain spot up under my rib cage on my right side. If I put any kind of pressure or even slightly push it the pain goes from a 3 to a 10! It hurts so bad that even scream out loud after I push it. It does not hurt when I breathe nor when I walk. I can feel it but not to the point where I can t do anything. I cant sleep on my right side without feeling the pain because of the pressure to my side. I can t even lean up against my counter top while in the kitchen. I m 5 1 tall,145lbs and a healthy 35 yr old woman otherwise and I can not understand how can a slip and fall to my bum can cause this nagging pain in my side for a whole week. I was thing that maybe it was a sore musle at first but now I m not sure. I think I may have really damaged something!!!
Hello, Based on your description of your complaints, you may be suffering from a broken rib or a bruised chest cage. As you have already said that the pain is there only when you touch it or when you lie on your side it may just be a bruise. Even if it was a fractured rib the treatment is just observation for 4 weeks. In about 4 to 6 weeks the pain decreases, and it will heal. The discomfort will be there when you cough or sleep on that side. One important thing if you experience sudden increase in pain or difficulty in breathing then consult your doctor immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

6 mm left UV junction calculus causing proximal mild hydripureteronephrosis.... The above was my USG report for abdomen 5 days back after which i have taken a lot of fluids..... can i please be advised if this stone will pass through by fluids or if i need some other medication ?
HI. The diagnosis is so obvious that there is a stone which had obstructed the urinary flow at the junction of the ureter with the Urinary bladder. The size of the stone is 6 mm. IT is a bit difficult to pass into the bladder is the stone is not smooth in surface or the sphincter is fibrosis. Fluid therapy is Thebes of course. I would advise you to repeat the ultrasonography to see whether the stone has passed into the bladder or not. If it is passed into the bladder, nothing to worry as this will easily pass from the bladder out of the body. IF it is still impacted, I would recommend you to consult a Urologist as you may need an assisted removal through a cystoscope examination and treatment. If there is sign of urinary infection or the urine examination shows infection additional antibiotic is necessary.

When I consulted with my Dr he said was Acute Tonsilitist... and it occur every month arround my period... For the past three months I noticed that the gums around my wisdom tooth are swollen and very painful plus there is a lump under my jaw...
Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint sore throat around periods is a part of PREMENSTRUAL SYN Chat Doctor. . It is not seen in all women but can be seen with some around the time of periods. In this condition avoiding spicy food and taking an antacid before meals during and around periods can help. Warm saline gargles can be relieving. Swelling of gums around the wisdom tooth occurs as a result of inflammation and is known as PERITONITIS, and it can occur as a result of infection by food deposition between the gum flap and the wisdom tooth or if the flap is bitten by the opposite jaw tooth. It can lead to pain radiating to jaw, throat, ear,eye and head. In this condition consultation with a dentist and getting an x-ray done is needed. In case tooth is not impacted and will erupt normally removal of the gum flap by a minor surgical procedure can help. In case of impacted tooth extraction can provide permanent relief. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful kindly write a positive review and click on found this answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards.

I m experiencing very regular lightheadness. Dizzy. Like I m going to faint but I don t. Generally I m really fit and active but my body feels heavy lately and my muscles tight. I keep getting pains in my right hip thigh and knee ( I rub on magnesium and this seems to help). I feel I m urinating quite a lot, maybe twice an hour, but I do try to drink a lot of water. I m also experiencing pains similar to period pains but there not during my cycle. Been quite a heavy drinker for many years but upon feeling this way I have given up and not had a drink for 2 months. This seems to have made the lightheadness more frequent. Also feeling regular fatigue when I m normally full of energy. Craving more sugar foods when I generally eat a very very healthy diet with a super low salt and sugar intake. I m a smoker aged 40.

I had bunionoctomy surgery on my right foot on Mar 28th, 2014. I left using crutches which were sore on the armpits and two days later my right breast on the very side has been very sore. When i jump I can feel it and it hurts to the touch. After many examinations by myself, I found a small lump on the side of my breast and it feels like a cyst would feel, which is painful. I have a doctors appointment this wed. I am worried that it could be cancer. What do you think? Thanks, April
Hi April, To my opinion, the small lump on the side of your breast might be a cyst. Further physical examination by your doctor is highly suggested together with breast ultrasound. If your gender is female, it might be related to hormonal changes during monthly cycle. It is recommended to have such examination the 5th to 10th day. Hope it was of help! Chat Doctor.

My medical aid has rejected a claim for a incisional hernia, stating that the 3 previous operations were the problem and that these procedures were not covered by medical aid. The first procedure was 25 years ago it was a gastric bypass at age 15, I had no problems until 5 years ago and a doctor convinced me that if I dont change the JIB procedure to a RNY that my life expectancy will be shortened by 20 years but I was very healthy and BMI of 20, he lied to the medical company and they paid for a gastrectomy, I started gaining weight and went to go see another doctor for advise and he just wanted to operate, he said that the previous doctor made a mess, I trusted this doctor and had to pay out of my own pocket because of my low BMI but didnt want to gain all the weight back and he reassured me that I would look fantastic. But this was not the case, this operation only made me gain more weight and I had constant pain. When I went back several times to show him the stomach is pertruding when i lift my neck his reply was that his does the same. What am I to do? I also have Sarcoidosis and Lupus anti-coagulant anti-bodies. I am in a lot of pain and eating less and less due to the embarresment of my stomach swelling out all the time. Please help!

Hello!, Perhaps with my question I will need a dentist or can you answer my questions regardless? I recently used a mouth rinse (Optic White for whitening) and I came across a feeling as if burning from eating a lot of salt and when I rinsed out with water and looked on my inner bottom I came across blotches of white... I m kind of worried I just burned the inside of my mouth...
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your symptoms suggest that you have developed an allergic reaction upon exposure to your present mouth rinse. It is advised to discontinue its usage temporarily, so that the symptoms get relieved. Nothing to worry about it, just wait for a week and see if there is any improvement. If not in that` case you need to visit your dentist for oral examination. Hope it helps. Thanks.

hi gud am,,i have 10 month old son and he is coughing for 4 days , and his coughen worsen at night to the point that he is vomiting. but fter he vomits, he sleeps soundly. i am giving him ambroxol, is cotrimoxazole good for babies cough? and is it compatible with ambroxol? thank you in advance
As you have discussed in your history your son is most probably suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. For this you can give him syrup co-amoxiclav 2.5 ml three times daily or syrup cefixime-cv 2.5 ml twice daily or syrup co-trimoxazole 2.5 ml four time daily along with syrup febrex-plus or syrup aerosol 2.5 ml three times daily for persistent cough with syrup vomiting or syrup ondansetron 2.5 ml twice daily for vomiting. As you have asked about co-trimoxazole I will say it is really very effective in this case. You can also nebulize your son with albuterol nebulizer at your family doctors clinic as it gives too mucChatDoctorfort to your child.

Is it possible ny 21 year old could of developed idiopathic scoliosis from having a lumbar puncture performed when she was 18 myths old.she had meningococcal septocemia. Doctor is waiting for xray results to confirm scoliosis . Suffering g from back and chest pains for last year. Thank you
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that the scoliosis spinal column deformation can not be caused by a lumbar puncture even in a very young age. But chronic deficiency of vitamin D or calcium or even a wrong posture can lead to these symptoms. I recommend performing vitamin D and calcium plasma levels to exclude this possibility. A spinal column CT scan would help give more information on the anatomy of your spinal column and possible treatment options. Meanwhile, I recommend correcting your posture and perform a lot of physical activity which is important for the reinforcement of the back muscles. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

Dear ChatDoctor, Our pediatrician recommended 500IU of vitamin D3 (on every alternative day) for my 1month old daughter. All was going well but today, I accidentally dropped three (3) drops of vitamin D3 into her mouth (i.e., 1500IU). I was reading online that a vitamin D3 overdosage can cause vomiting, nausea, weight loss, constipation, and even kidney damage, inter alia. Is there a need to rush her to emergency?

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Dear ChatDoctor, Our pediatrician recommended 500IU of vitamin D3 (on every alternative day) for my 1month old daughter. All was going well but today, I accidentally dropped three (3) drops of vitamin D3 into her mouth (i.e., 1500IU). I was reading online that a vitamin D3 overdosage can cause vomiting, nausea, weight loss, constipation, and even kidney damage, inter alia. Is there a need to rush her to emergency? ### Answer: Hello welcome to ChatDoctorNo need to take her to emergency. She will be perfectly fine. Do not worry.

50yoa caucasion male, non smoker, non drinker. 72 tall and weight is 245. only health problem is blood pressure, I just started taking 20mg of Lisinopil. as part of my yearly exam I got a liver functions test..my AST is 32 and my alt is 61. (test indicates 9-46 U/L is normal). I have recently taken to consuming apx 500-700mg of ibuprofen for a tooth ache. can you tell what is going on with my liver? is this something I should worry about. My doc has me set up for hepatitis series next week to check that.
HelloIncreased ALT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, ANA estimation, viral markers, urine RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. Further requirement of medicines depends upon findings. Findings are not related to recent intake of ibuprofen. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hello Doctor, I had fever, cough and body pain from last friday till Sunday, Upon medication fever has gone and body pain reduced. However cough has not reduced. I sweat a lot especially at night. I feel very tired and drowsy for the past 2 days. Is this normal for viral fever or could this be a symptom of any other viral fever like Dengue, H1N1 or TB?
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctori have gone through your query. Cough is not a usual symptom for dengue. But body pain and tiredness are characteristic findings. Doing a blood routine and platelet count will be helpful. Platelet count will be usually low in case of dengue. If it is low then you can go for dengue and lento immunoglobulin test to rule out Dengue or leptospirosis. H1N1 will have predominant respiratory symptoms. If you have such symptoms then you can go for throat swab to rule out H1N1. Only if cough lasting more than 2 weeks TB test will be required. Take plenty of fluids. Take chewable vitamin C also. A consultation with physician is also well appreciated. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

Hi, 4 days after my period, me and my boyfriend were playing around in the bed. I didnt have any pants or underwear on, he just had his penis out through the hole in his boxers. I was rubbing his penis on my vagina, he didnt burst or anything, i was wet. I wanted to know if i could get pregnant, im really worried.
I think that there is very little chances of your getting pregnant as nothing is getting deposited inside vagina also be careful not to rule out pregnancy by doing a urine pregnancy test done after a week or so, ultrasound can be done at last to confirm pregnancy if any

HELLO MY SON IS 7 MONTHS OLD AND SUFFERING FROM COUGH AND COLD FROM LAST 10 DAYS AND DOCTOR SUGGESTED NEBULAZATION THERAPY TO MELT A COUGH. NOW COUGH IS CONGESTED IN THE CHEST AN SUGGESTED MEDICINE SINAREST-AF,CEPODEM 100. MY EMAIL ID IS sachin_eternity@ WWW.WWWW.WW
HIF I were your family doctor I would not recommend Minaret and Code type of medicine at first instance to such a small child when other measures such as steaming, either plain or of herbal decoction are very safe and easy to give and natural ones. These have better and SAFE effects and no side effects. You may like to see any good Ayurveda physician in your locality for this. You can always opt for such medicine if natural ways do not cure your child. One thing is sure that steaming will not enhance the cough and cold. Hope this guides you well.

I think I have ADD so I went to my family doctor and she asked me a few questions and said she felt that my behavior towards some things was not normal, she was a little inclined to ADD so she prescribed me some vitamins (acutil) and said there were no miracle drugs . She said that after a month of taking them I should schedule another consult and visit her. To be honest I dont feel any different taking the vitamins. Is this normal procedure to an ADD diagnosis?
Hello, Vitamins can not cure ADD. The first point is whether the diagnosis is accurate or not. I would advise you to take a second opinion from a psychiatrist. For ADD, stimulant medications are Chat Doctor. So get a correct diagnosis from your psychiatrist. Thanks.

ear Doc - My father is 66-68 years old , diabetic . He has more pain lumbar stenosis problem . Since a month he gets extreme pain while walking - more so from the fact that she leads a sedentary lifestyle . he undergoes physiotheraphy at home on a daily basis . Sugar is well under control . he takes ULTRACET for her body / joint pain . My query was is there a better way to manage her pain ? Her consulting ortho was recommending a supplement jab on her knees , which I am not in favor of (considering her complications) I read about these medicines and was wondering if it is safe for here considering he is also lumbar stenosis problem patient . he is already sugar and BP patient. Sir please.... any your require medicine please i am pure family sir
Hellenes injection suggestion by an orthopedic surgeon means your father has additional knee arthritis because of which he has more pain on walking.Therefore, It's advisable to follow the doctor as it will give relief for pain and permit easier walk and improve quality of life, since he is diabetic, it is all the more necessary that he walks to burn calories and thus less of medication doses for diabetes may be needed. For lumbar stenoses, ask your doctor how much narrowing is there and how much pain in back is limiting the movements, in extreme cases, a decompression surgery maybe a good solution, but since you have not mentioned any such opinion from doctor, presume he doesn't think surgery is the requirement for now, just knee cortisone injection would be very helpful best wishes

HELLO, I,VE HAD A STOMACH ACHE FOR TWO DAYS. I HAVE DIARRHEA AND BLACK STOOL . I AM 61 YEARS OLD, WITH BASICALLY NO MEDICAL HISTORY. COULD THIS BE FOOD POISONING? I HAVE BEEN BELCHING A LOT TOO. I VE ALWAYS BEEN A MILK DRINKER SO I THOUGHT SOME MILK WOULD SOOTHE MY STOMACH. BUT IT SEEMED TO HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT. WHAT DOES THE BLACK STOOL INDICATE? THANK YOU, JIM
Hi, Black stool sometimes indicates bleeding in upper G-I tract, but in your case history suggests infective diarrhea. Milk is often contaminated with staph. Go for a stool examination, plenty of ORS should be taken, course of antibiotic is necessary, consult your physician.

Hello. I am 30, and I had a mammogram and ultra sound today as a follow up-to a biopsy 6 months ago. Everything is fine, but my question is whether I should wait until next moth to try to get pregnant. Would the radiation affect the baby if I do get pregnant?
Hi, I understand your concern. Radiation affects fetus differently at differently. It depends on the time & extent of exposure to radiation. Actually radiation reaches fetus in comparatively less dose, as it goes through mothers body to reach it. - Radiation exposure in first 2 weeks of conception may cause fetal death. - exposure to large dose radiation( Like dose received from 500 chest X-rays) in early weeks of conception (2 to 18 weeks of pregnancy) is hazardous to fetus- it causes developmental defects in fetus-specially brain developments.- leading to low IQ s & mental retardation or stunted growth./ likelihood to develop cancer in later life. _ Same type of consequences are observed in fetuses between 18 and 26 weeks when exposed to double the dose of radiation. -After 26 weeks baby is fully grown & there is no possibility of developmental defects after radiation exposure except for slightly more chances of having cancer in later life. * Though no bad effects of radiation exposure of mother before conception are reflected on fetuses, the conception should be postponed, specially when it is a planned conception. It can be easily postponed till next month. Thanks.

My 3 yr old was hit in the face, mainly bridge of nose, by a baseball bat, on accident by older brother. There is some swelling now, bruising, he s congested, but he has a 100.4 temp. Should he be seen by a dr? No bleeding. What would they do if it was broken?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If I were your pediatrician, I would suggest you consult an orthopediacian or an ENT surgeon, only to be very sure there is no problem to be sorted out. If at all there is a fracture, the management will vary depending on the type and extent of fracture. Mild one needs a small plaster bandage, but a major one might need surgery. However, it doesn't sound like a major fracture or something. He might have had some soft tissue injury which is causing swelling and nose congestion. Hot compresses, nasal decongestant Chat Doctor. Hope child gets well soon. Take care.

Hi I have carpual tunne (sp) l in both my wrists and tendinitous (sp) in both my elbows.. Now for about three weeks my right shoulder has been feeling like its bruised and is sending tingling sensation and numbness all the way down to my finger tips.. I went and saw a doctor she said it probably is tendinitous of my shoulder. But I cant stand the pain and hurting anymore. I called for a EMG and am waiting but that is for my carpual tunnel (sp). I am just tired of my hands being numb and tingly all the time. I have a one year son who I need to hold and care for and I can barely pick him up anymore.. I feel that I should go get seen and get an x-ray that is how bad it feels... Thank you
You may take lyrics 75 mg 1 BD, Ace -Procyon 1BD, use arm sling, apply Voltaren gel to shoulder after hot fomentation. For carpal tunnel, early decompression surgery must be done. Consult orthopedic surgeon for prescription meds if he agrees to suggestions and a hand surgeon for release surgery of carpal tunnel

I have bad breath. It seems like it is coming from my throat , uvula or tonsils or surrounding area. My mouth hygiene is more than excellent, no bad decay, no tarter, I visit the dentist every 6 month, I do mouth washes, coconut oil pulling regularly, all kind of expensive mouth wash, hydrogen peroxide...etc. but the problem is not in my mouth its in my throat, I also dont have frequent infections or tonsil stones. Is there surgical treatment for this condition
Hi. Thanks for the query. Well, bad smell concentrated in throat can be due to causes like acid reflux, post nasal Chat Doctor. . Treatment medical or surgical will depend on the cause. As the problem is in throat, so my suggestion is to consult an Otorhinolaryngologist and get evaluated. He can do a Laryngoscopy and if needed upper G. I Endoscopy and even advise sinus x-ray to rule out the exact cause. Treatment can only be decided then. As of now chew sugar-free chewing gum that are mint or menthol flavored to mask bad smell.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: I have bad breath. It seems like it is coming from my throat , uvula or tonsils or surrounding area. My mouth hygiene is more than excellent, no bad decay, no tarter, I visit the dentist every 6 month, I do mouth washes, coconut oil pulling regularly, all kind of expensive mouth wash, hydrogen peroxide...etc. but the problem is not in my mouth its in my throat, I also dont have frequent infections or tonsil stones. Is there surgical treatment for this condition ### Answer: Hi. Thanks for the query. Well, bad smell concentrated in throat can be due to causes like acid reflux, post nasal Chat Doctor. . Treatment medical or surgical will depend on the cause. As the problem is in throat, so my suggestion is to consult an Otorhinolaryngologist and get evaluated. He can do a Laryngoscopy and if needed upper G. I Endoscopy and even advise sinus x-ray to rule out the exact cause. Treatment can only be decided then. As of now chew sugar-free chewing gum that are mint or menthol flavored to mask bad smell. You can also do steam inhalation with adding Eucalyptus oil in boiling water. You can chew cardamom to mask bad smell.
I had a manila colored stool about two weeks ago. After that I had knife-like shooting pain in the base of my stomach for several days and now diareha for two weeks. (About three years ago this same thing happened and they did a scan. Couldn t figure out what it was. Said my intestines just seemed a bit full and sent me home. About 6 months later I ended up with Chronic appendicitis and had my appendix and part of my small and large intestine removed. Was in the hospital for a week, got a secondary infection that almost killed me and was never able to run again - former half marathon runner.) I am a 49 year old female.
Hi thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor .the sequence of symptoms which you underwent suggest localized myogenic infection most notably "acute appendicitis" which went on to produce chronic appendicitis on delaying the surgical attention for some reasons for 6 months as in your case.appendicitis is known to occur following sudden occlusion of its lumen. As it's a vestigial organ, its always removed by surgery. Its produces symptoms like vomiting, pain initially on the left side of the lower abdomen and later pain migration to right side of stomach. Chronic appendicitis is more dangerous in terms of complication as its more prone to produce spreading infection at the time of surgery...it can also be prone to rupture further complicating surgery, affecting nearby bowel loops causing "gangrenous appendicitis" as in your case. You underwent your surgery at this stage of the disease.a more comprehensive approach is needed at the earliest, would have saved some of those bowel loops and prevented serious peritoneal infection in your case, anyhow now you are operated and the infective focus removed, you are out of danger, and you will soon be normal, of course you need to curtail your athletic activity to a large extent post surgery. Follow a healthy dietary regimen post surgery to improve your general health. Thank you. Take care.

Hi I went to donate plasma today and they told me that my haemoglobin level was 116 and they were concerned it was too low to donate but as it was only plasma they took the donation. What recommendations do you have to raise it to a healthier level. As I don t have any other symptoms such as lethargy do you have any suggestions as to how it has dropped to this level. Thanks
Hello. I guess your He (hemoglobin) is 11.6 and not 116. If it is so it is borderline for an Indian girl and definitely low for an Indian male. For menstruating female it is common to have low He and most of the time they are asymptomatic. There is no reason to worry about such He. If you want to maintain a good hemoglobin level i advice you to have a balanced diet containing mainly green leafy vegetables, fruits like apple, dates etc. (if you prefer nonveg food-liver, fish etc.)these will help you increase iron content of your body stores and prevent iron deficiency anemia which is common.nonveg food and milk also helps to restore your it B12 levels and prevent or B12 deficiency anemia (megaloblastic anemia).hope I have helped you.

Hi, I had a blowjob lastnight and noticed I have a few red marks/lines on my penis when the foreskin is pulled back. The girl did infact toss me off also and pull my foreskin back quite a little so it could have been a result of that however I m not totally sure. Please advise as to what it might be.
Dear, slight abrasion on shaft after a blowjob is common. Caused due to incised teeth rubbing against shaft. An associated burning sensation and pain will be there till 4-5 days. No active medication required. Abstain from unprotected sex or rigors masturbation for a week. Hope I have satisfied your query thank you

hi , dr , i am 24 year old , i feel Rt testicular pain , i sought medical advice . i was asked to do semenal analysis and scrotal doplex. doppler was normal semenal analysis:-ph : alkalin concentration94mllion per ml liquifaction time more than2 h rapid active motility30% slugish progresiv35% volum:3.5ml WBC1-2per HPF Can i father achild? many thanks,
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Semen analysis provides a general idea of fertility. Your concentration or count of 94 mill/ml is normal, it is considered good if it is above 20 mill/ml. The motility is normal if more than 50% are moving. In your result a total of 65% were moving though only 30% were rapid. The volume of semen is also normal. The low white cell count shows that no infection is present. Semen analysis also generally looks at the morphology (shape of sperm, does it appear to look normal). This is not mentioned. Based on the results given, there should not be any major fertility issues. I hope this helps

Back and waist pain,hotness of the body,stomach pain, quick ejaculation.I have gone to lab, and the result is No bacterical growth after 48hours,cyst of histolytica seen and malaria is that enough for me to be experiencing those things.I need help urgerntly please.
HiT hanks for posting your query. I appreciate your concern for the present symptoms. The cysts are the infective forms of the protozoal parasite Enatamoeba histologic which are found in the asymptomatic carriers (persons harboring the infective form of the parasites but not suffering from the disease). These cysts are mainly localized to the lumen of intestinal tract, they are no invasive and hence do not cause any disease. Whereas the trophozoites are the invasive forms of the parasite responsible for the disease (meiosis). The body heat (fever), stomach and waist pain could be due to malaria. Hope this answers your question.

Hi I had a wisdom tooth extraction 2 days ago. The dentist put stitches after he was done. I did was not told what to do and what not to do, so I rinsed my mouth with warm salt water 4 hours after the procedure. After I did, I put some gauze on it. I was wondering what are my chances of getting a dry socket and how long does it take for me to notice if I did or not?
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Usually rinsing the mouth with salt water is recommended 24 hours after tooth extraction procedure has undergone. Take complete course of medicines prescribed. Avoid intake of spicy foods. Maintain oral hygiene well. Take adequate rest and avoid stress. Chat Doctor.

hi, i am an 18 year old female, i have been seeing my boyfriend off and on for 2 years , we have not been trying to conceive a baby, however they say if you have been having unprotected sex for a year and you cannot conceive, you are considered infertile. Well we have not been trying but he has always been so careful about the withdrawl method, pulling out ten seconds or so before ejaculating. Is it possible that i am infertile or he is, i can definitely say he has never ejaculated in me, but then again the precum is there, i am just worried that i wont be able to have a baby and this worries me a lot
Hi, I think you are not having an unprotected intercourse. You are using a natural method of contraceptive that is coitus interrupts. So, it can't be told that you or your boyfriend is infertile. Whenever you plan to conceive, try naturally for at least 6 months to one year. Be in contact with your partner every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy.

i have kleb.pneumonia in urine, took ciprofloxacine 5 days, did not work, yesterday took monuril 3g, symptoms seem worse, i am to have a urine test monday but this is when i will be on holiday abroad, i am worried monuril hasnt worked , how long is safe to be untreated, the lab report suggested imipeneme , but doctor is trying other abx. what is your advise?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding UTI caused by Klebsiella pneumonia. Klebsiella is a coliform which is normally found in the urinary tract and only significant count on culture is considered relevant. Your doctor is right in trying control as it is one of the effective antibiotics against Klebsiella. I suggest you complete the course of antibiotics prescribed. Clearance of infection can be confirmed only by testing. I suggest you get a urine test done wherever you are going, and the results are available in 24-48 hours. Imipenem is a broad spectrum antibiotic used only when organism is resistant to commonly used antibiotics, so your doctor is right is not using it until very necessary. Thanks.

Hi, My daughter (age 25)is having frequent episodes of heavy sleep/minor seizure like episodes which can last up to two minutes at a time during the day. They are often accompanied beforehand as a cold leg pain which moves up her spinal cord to the head just before she enters these sleeping phases. They are more likely to happen during the afternoon/evening, but not in the morning. At other times she appears normal. Tests so far have ruled out a heart or blood pressure, or ear and nose problem, and many blood tests have not found anything. She has yet to see a Neurologist.Can you possibly advise what the problem may be as we are (and our own GPs) are running out of ideas.
Hello am Chat Doctor. I have read your query. I think I can help you. The symptoms of your daughter are quite suggestive of 2 possibilities. I would feel that she has either a Complex partial seizure with secondary generalization. Another possibility is restless leg syn

I have just been released from the hospital with pneumonia and I have been home 3 days with chronic coughing. On antibiodics, prednisone and cough syrup and I have swelling in the pelvic region and black/blue/purple and red bruising. Can that be from coughing so hard? I did not have it when I left hospital 3 days ago. I am 50 year old, in good shape, woman
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Pneumonia is infective condition. And in acute infection, steroids are generally not given because steroids can worsen underlying infection as it causes immunosuppression. So ideally, prednisone should not be given in acute infection like pneumonia. Prednisone can cause skin rashes as a side effect. So possibility of prednisone induced skin rash is more in your case. Certain antibiotics can also cause skin rashes. Better to consult dermatologist and discuss all these and if possible stop prednisone. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I am on Methadone for severe pain in my back due to 3 lower disk, one that is bone on nerves on bone with arthuritis now. The other two are stenosis and in bad shape. Ive had 6 MRIS in 10 years. Ive taken or tried many different pain meds, this is the only one I dont crave more over, and yet it takes away my pain. Ive ben to Spinal surgeons who have told me there wasnt a who lot they can do. Ive been to several pain management doctors. They have all pumped me up on so much steroids, Im not a loud to have any, anymore. No wrecks or job claims, simply happened. Some say the cortisone made it worse. Im 58. I cant sleep or do house work or play with my grandchildren without help. The doctor I see now gave me the Methadone and Klonopin and It really helps. But he has moved away. The one who is taking his place had a fit! He doesnt understand that the Methadone helps with the pain and I dont crave it. The other helps with stress. It is Methadone 3Xs a day at 10mg. THe Klonopin is 2 times a day, 1 mg. The new doc says Ill be dead in 1 week or on kidney dialysis even though I take a blood test every month and all is, as my doctor says, perfect! He shows it to me! So should I believe this new doc who says I couldnt be hurting as much as I say, and get off of the meds? If I do, Ill be in bed all day and night! Just need a second opinion!

hi i want to get pregnant after an abortion in jan this year.even after having unproctected sex for past 3 months i could not concieve.i get my periods regularly and last month i had bled dark brown bloodclots juz for a day .i had consultated a gyanee she said to wait for 3 months ,
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Infertility is said to occur when one fails to conceive after one year of successful unprotected intercourse. Moreover, since you have conceived once, so it is appropriate for you to wait for at least three months before undergoing any infertility investigations and management. Chances to conceive in each menstrual cycle is only 20-25 %, therefore do not take stress and try for natural conception for at least next3-4 months. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.

I was recently diagnosed with glandular fever, I am normally a healthy and extremely sporty active person. I have noticed lumps and bruising on my shins which I havnt bashed? I also have itchy skin and what looks like exczma on my elbows? Are these as a result of the glandular fever?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Glandular fever, as you say has been diagnosed by tests is a viral disease with self limiting nature. Its symptoms usually resemble to flu like state. Along with fever, nausea, headache there is sore throat and lymphadenopathy. Inflammation of tonsils can occur which can can lead to pain behind your ear as well as your jaw. It usually subsides as the inflammation decreases with medication. Wait for some time and have regular medication as you are taking for glandular fever, if any. If still persist, I suggest you to consult a physician for proper examination and management. Thank you.

sir,i am a patient of bph of size 44 ml,there are two small stones in lower calyces of left kidney.largest stone is .89cm. Today i have done my urine RE,found a few R.B.C. please advice me what to do & why urine contains occult blood.SPSA-1.6,UROFLOMETRY- 562/17/9
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! Basically blood in the urine can be brought about by kidney stones, prostate enlargement or both. I would suggest getting treated for kidney stones either by medical dissolution (potassium citrate) or shockwave therapy (ESL) to get rid of your stones. For your prostate if you have urinary frequency then I would suggest seeing a urologist to get medicine to decrease the size of the prostate (finasteride). I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Good evening. I am going to the dentist in the morning and I am a dental coward :( I have to drive myself, so I plan to arrive a half-hour early and take a valium when I get there.

Hi doctor, Im suffering from herniated disc and sciatica, Ive followed the treatment so it relieves me. but when I stop this treatment, the pain come back. so Id like to ask if is there any solution without drugs, example walking or swimming ...I dont know.thanks.
Hi, As diagnosed with PIED with radiculopathy it should be managed conservatively with regular physiotherapy (spinal extension exercises), avoiding serious work/exercise bending forward, warm compression with vitamins, analgesic, muscle relaxant (if pain) n PPI under guidance of orthopaedition. If symptoms aggravates, bladder bowel involve, neurological involvement ...... then may require decompression. So in my opinion be in regular follow up and treatment accordingly including physiotherapy .hope it'll help Thanks n regards

A young man age 25 was just diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. The tumor was ver large and bloody and on trunk. Hes had this thing for like 4 yeats but just started getting worse. Then last month he lost nearly 20 lbs in one month. Whats a fair prognosis? How long would he have to live?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The survival rate of 5 years is considered to be 15 to 20 %, means 20 patients among 100 patients survive 5 years. Out look is better if the lesion is in the distant part, and in the lymph nodes than in organs. And if lactose deny Chat Doctor. Besides giving treatment give him fresh juices of palatable vegetables, to have an UN explained little recovery. Wishing him good health. Thank you.

I have pain on the lower right hand side of my stomach. It hurts when I breath and when I sit and when I get up. The pain on the scale of 1-10 is about an 7 or an 8. I am sitting in chair now and it hurts. My stomach is also bloated. I have had this pain for about 2 to 3 days now. The pain is more intense today then it was the past 3 days. I have been taking the supplement CLA for weight loss. I have taken one capsule a day but I have not been taking it regularly for the past two months. I take it with 1400 mg of Fish Oil. What is wrong with me. Could I have pancreatic stones or gall stones. I do not have a fever and I am not vomiting.
HI. Gone through the history you have provided. Odd to know there is no fever, no vomiting in spite of pain in right lower abdomen.7 to 8 ON scale is severe enough. It hurts when you breath-there are few things like appendicular lump, kidney problems and inflamed gall bladder that can cause pain like this on the right side of abdomen. The best way to get the clinical examination by a Surgeon and ultrasonography to find the cause. Pancreatic stones do not present like this.

Hi, I recently had surgery to remove a plate that had come loose from my upper jaw, right above my canine tooth . I also told the surgeon that I had noticed a hole that had been there since my initial double jaw surgery. The surgeon said he didn t notice any hole. Now, one week after surgery, the stitches that are right over the spot the hole was have popped loose and now there is a huge painful hole in my upper gum and lip, right above my canine tooth. My canine tooth has started hurting and my nose keeps running on the side of the hole. What could this possibly be?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, according to the dental history provided by you, it seems, that you have had a congenital jaw problem, for which you have undergone a surgery. I am not able to make out through your dental history that what kind of hole it is. until I check clinically, but as you said post surgery you have been suffering from running nose and pain, it clearly signifies sinusitis(maxillary sinus). It is a condition, wherein, the maxillary sinus associated with upper teeth(canine to first molar) gets infected following surgeries, extractions and trauma. Therefore I advise you to visit your concerned dentist, he/she will prescribe you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication to resolve infection.I advise you to start warm saline rinses(3-4 times/day). And see your dentist soon.I wish you good health, take care.

Hey, um so I just want to get some facts on my chest pain, had if for about 2 months now on and off, only happens when I wake up from drinking alot of alcohol the night before , it s a sharp tight pain, I also feel like I can t breath or that I m going to die. I am a daily smoker , drug abuser and alcohol use. I m just curious to know why it s happening and why has it only been coming on the last 2 months. I m a 17 year old male so it s kinda scaring me I got bad chest pains at such a young age . Also with the chest pains I feel dizzy, my arms and legs go numb and tingly like pins and needles, im short of air and its just a really unpleasant feeling. I should also tell you that I was hospitalized from it about 2 months ago , they ran scans and only told me thy i had severe lung scaring from smoking. Thanks fo taking your time to read this as please get back to me ASAP . Josh
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. N my opinion we should first rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes. Since you are smoker chances of cardiac and pulmonary diseases are more. So first get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. Get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. If all of the above are normal than your chest pain is due to HERD(Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. And due to this acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Smoking and alcohol both make this sphincter loose and cause reflux. So better to quit alcohol and smoking as soon as possible. Eat healthy and stay fit.

Hello doctror, My aunt is suffering from renal carcinoma and one of her kidney has been removed 4 years back. Before 8 months, again another attack has been detected in the sternum and ribs. We consulted a doctor and he adviced for chemo treatment for 1 month in alternate days. After he told for paliative care and prescribe a tablet called evertor in daily basis. Sir I want to know whether she will come back to her normal life? What is your opinion about this case?
Hi Neethugopinath, Your aunt has already undergone neurectomy and has metastasis to sternum and ribs. It is not possible to have routine life as a normal person will have. Again it needs other parameters to predict prognosis of patient with metastatic renal carcinoma like LDH enzyme levels, He levels, Ca levels. SO I will elaborate few criteria which will help to get clear picture regarding your aunty. Patients in the favorable-risk group (zero risk factors) had a median survival of 20 months. Patients with intermediate risk (1 or 2 risk factors) had a median survival of 10 months. Patients in the poor-risk group (3 or more risk factors) had a median survival of only 4 months. The prognostic factors are as follows: Low Aronofsky performance status (High serum lactate deny Chat Doctor. 5 times upper limit of normal URN]) Low hemoglobin (below lower limit of normal [LLN]) High "corrected" serum calcium (>10 mg/DL) No previous neurectomy. The following are factors associated with increased survival in patients with metastatic disease: A long disease-free interval between initial neurectomy and the appearance of metastases The presence of only pulmonary metastases Good performance status Removal of the primary tumor I hope this information is being useful to you. So continue giving palliative care and let her have comfortable life as far as possible. Take care. Best regards,

A few weeks ago... Every once in a while, I would just be at work standing at my cash register ringing up groceries & all of a sudden I would gasp for air. Just once... It s only happened @ (3) times... Maybe once there & twice at home.. I don t understand? Why would I do that?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden onset involuntary gasp without any respiratory symptoms (cough, breathlessness, chest pain) is commonly due to stress and anxiety. But if you are smoker or having above-mentioned symptoms then better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung related causes. If you are asymptomatic and nonsmoker then no need to worry. Stress and tension can cause sudden involuntary gasps. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

the doctor told me I have inactive lupus . I have had back surgery, the pain has not went away. Actually it is alot worse. Now I have leg, hand , hip, and back problems. Could lupus be the cause of this. They told me the only thing that could be done is to manage the pain. I had to much scare tissue . It is very difficult to sit and stand for periods of time. I have gone to many doctors and they all said the same. It is very difficult to not know what is going on. I don t want this type of pain for the rest of my life, I am only 46.

I was give prednisone 20g (3/single daily) for 5 days because of scaitica. It is the end of day 4 and my back hurts, my hamstring/calf are strained and palpitate frequently. I make myself get up to have mobility but mostly lying on the floor. I used the bathroom this morning and my right glute tightened causing me to fall. The flute has been palpitating all day. What can I do?
Hi, Thank you for your question to Chat Doctor. The symptoms you have described are related to the muscle spasms. Muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone or cyclobenzaprine are helpful. Cyclobenzaprine is available in 5 and 10 MG and is supposed to be taken 3 times a day. Physician supervision is necessary to monitor for side effects. If oral steroids (prednisone) are not helpful epidural injection of a mixture of a steroid and local anesthetic can be tried. These are done by spine surgeons or pain specialists. Hope this is helpful. Wish you the best.

My 32 year old son has had high blood pressure since he was 18 when we found it. Yesterday 9/30/14 he called me and said he was dizzey .when I got there he was on the floor and I could not wake him up. After about 20 minutes while we were trying to get him to the car to go to the doctor he came to. he refused to go to the doctor because he was afraid he would be put in the hospital and he cant afford insurance. his blood pressure was 214/184. after about thirty minutes he said he was fine. He is stressed because his job has cut his hours to 20 a week. should we try to force him to go to the DR?
Hello there, Thank you for relying on Chat Doctor. The condition you described is an emergency which definitely needs medical care, or it might be fatal later. If he was diagnosed at an age 18,was he on antihypertensives?. If not then he should be immediately be on one. Left uncontrolled, he may wind up with a disability, a poor quality of life or even a fatal heart attack. High blood pressure might cause damage to his heart(Coronary artery disease, Enlarged left heart, heart failure), brain(Transient ischemic attack, mild cognitive impairment, stroke), kidney(failure) and a lot more if not treated. So I would suggest you to force him to see a doctor. Nothing is worth a life. In the meantime, he should follow strict diet plan like;1)Low salt and low fat diet2)eat fruits and vegetables which are rich in potassium and magnesium3)Exercise at least 30-40minutes a day to lose those extra body fat. Hope it helped. Feel free to ask any more queries.

Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! You may have primary testicular failure due to your descended testis. I would like to see your semen analysis results to determine the cause and the extent of your problem. You also need serum FSH LH and testosterone levels. The treatment would largely depend on the results of your examinations. Yours truly, Chat Doctor.

Hi there, Thanks for writing to us, The information provided by you is not sufficient to make a confident diagnosis.

hi, my husband s knee was painful & swollen for approx. 2 weeks, someone mentioned that it could be gout (which he gets in his foot) so he took a round of gout medication. The pain is about 80% gone but the swelling is still there and now his calf & ankle are also swollen with pain in his calf. No recent injury has occurred with this leg.
Hello, It could be arthritis or ligament or tendon injury. Consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done. Sometimes you might require an arthroscopic repair. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, My daughter is two years now. Should I get the vaccination done against typhiod? Also, I looked at the vaccination list and found out that Hepatitis A vaccination is only suggested, is it imporatnt to get it done? Also, if I get get typhiod vacine done now how long should i wait to get Hep A vaccine done? I also wanted to know the app prices of typhiod and Hep vaccines
Hi.... I suggest that you get both hepatitis A and typhoid vaccination on the same day. Hepatitis A vaccination has to be repeated with a booster dose after 6 months. Cost is around 1000 rupees. There are two types of typhoid vaccines. One is a v i polysaccharide vaccine which is cheaper one and costs you around 200 to 250 rupees, but the immunity is only about 50 to 60%. The second type is typhoid conjugate vaccine which is costly vaccine around 1800 rupees, but the effectiveness is 99%. I suggest just you go ahead with hepatitis A vaccine and typhoid conjugate vaccine on the same day. Regards -

I am a healthy 58 yrs old woman. I race walk competively. I have been going faster lately. Sometimes my heart rate goes to 230 for 10-20 seconds. When I end my race walking trainings (4 miles average), my heart rate drops down quickly, no problem. Should I worry about the 230?
Hello thanks for posting here. A heart rate of 230 on exertion definitely requires evaluation. However first we need to evaluate whether you really reach that 230 reading. While running the heart rate detector may mistake your body vibrations and movements for heart beats and count them accordingly. Hence the heart rate may erroneously show a high reading. So you have to check whether it happens to you only or with everyone. Another thing that can be done is a treadmill test. It requires you to run on a treadmill, the speed of which increases gradually to a point till your heart rate reaches a target rate. This TMT test will continuously record your EKG while you are running so all aberrations and errors can be rules out. It will definitely show whether you really have a fast heart rate on exercising. If it documents very fast heart rate further work up can be done. Wishing you good health. Thank you

Ive been having these sharp pains in my chest for about a week. They come and go and started in just a spot on my chest but have streched over the spand of my chest in a little over a week. I have been sick for about 3 weeks and have been coughing a lot, but i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks) and fever and now developed chest pain. So we should definitely rule out pneumonia in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. Chest x-ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia. You will need antibiotics, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and other supportive Chat Doctor.
