the color of the skin on my neck has been red for over a year Hello. I am a 49 year old woman who has been tanning for a while now. I had noticed in the past year my neck was red after tanning. Now, I only tan right before the summer for a few weeks. I don t tan all year. I made a schedule for the dermatologist . They said it was scarring from tanning. That I could have laser surgery to take care of the problem. My question is, have you ever heard of this laser surgery. And if you have in your opinion how safe is it. Would you recommend it? Thank you very much and, have a good night.
Yes, you have Scarring of the neck skin. LASER therapy would help, but it should be examined for whether it is Hypertrophic or Atrophic scarring. LASER is applicable for both. Kindly get yourself examined by a Dermatologist and chalk out a plan and cost of treatment. All the Best, Take care.

HI I have a small, hard lump slightly of centre at the end of my sterum, If i look down while breathing out and pulling my tummy in its quite obvious, its noticeable. Its not attached to skin by seems to be on the process thing where last ribs meet.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. By your description and history, I think you are talking about typhoid process. It is terminal part of sternum and in some individual, it is separate bone and can give feeling of hard lump on touch. So mostly it is typhoid process of sternum. So no need to worry much for this as it is a normal thing. But better to rule out other things by ultrasound examination of local part. If ultrasound is normal then no need to worry about this thing. It is normal typhoid process.

Hi, Yesterday I was thrown off my horse into a hard wall and fell underneath the horse. He stood on me multiple times (have pretty hoof print bruises). I didn t know until about 4hrs later when I took my boots off that he had also stood on the side of my ankle. The swelling and bruising is relatively bad. I can t see any bone of my ankle due to swelling. There is still heat almost 24hrs later and I can still kind of move my ankle but cannot touch it and even my pants hurt if they brush. I can walk still so can t imagine its more than a surface injury but is there anything I can do to aid in a speedy recovery?
Hi there. Thanks for your question at Chat Doctor. Rest, Analgesics, Ice and bandage application usually help relieve the pain and swelling associated with ankle injuries.However, if the pain still persists 48 hours after injury, which gets aggravated on standing or walking, it needs further evaluation. I would suggest you to be seen by a physician in person since your pain still persists. Based on the examination an X-ray may be required to rule out fractures. It is also top to be noted that a severe soft tissue injury (ligaments and muscles) can cause pain as severe as pain associated with a fracture. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards. Chat Doctor.

Dr. Grief...First let me give you a quick background. My name is Anton, I am a 42 m. Was first diagnosed with Harry Cell in July of 2010. Was hospitalized for 27 days. Developed two tumors in L4 L5 area back surgery in Nov 2010 resulting in Cauda Equina Syndrome. Back in the hospital again May of 2012 for another 17 days for Chemo, etc. I previously was a very good athlete at high levels and have dealt with many different types of pain. The pain that I endure now on a daily basis is nearly unbearable. Im currently working with a pain management specialist to come up with some sort of solution without much success. Any suggestions?
If you have not tried the opioid painkillers like Tramadol, you can try it. And if you already have taken with failure then you should go for nerve block.

Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor.I had gone through all the data posted. First thing is what was your urine culture report. Because antibiotics have to be tailored against the organism. We generally start on broad spectrum and change to specific antibiotics once we get culture report. Second is if pus cells are present is it genital Tuberculosis. Sterile Syria where urine culture may be sterile but pus cells Wii be present continouslyfor this we need to do AFB stain in urine in morning concentrated sample Kindly update me all your reports so that I can give more opinion on your problem. Hope this helps.

Hello im 14 years old and ever since i was in grade 3 i have been getting sharp chest pains near my heart.it hurts so much that when i get them i have 2 freeze and try 2 breathe. they last up to 5 minutes long and i usually get them 2-3 times a week. Today iv had 4 very painful ones and im getting scared! i need help!
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Teenagers are more prone for anxiety and panic disorder. Your symptoms are more suggestive of panic disorder and anxiety. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo first to rule out cardiac cause for symptoms. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. 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. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My Endo prescribed Armour in December. It s been 5 months now and I m taking 60 mcg daily. He told me to come back and see him in a year. I definitely have more energy now, memory is better, and pain in ears and under jawline and neck is gone. Problem is my hair is still falling out in patches on top of head and thinning in other areas. Also my body temp is always 1 degree lower than it should be. Is this a sign that my dose needs to be increased? Is there hope that my hair will stop falling out? Help!
Hello, I have gone through your query and would recommend you to apply minoxidil 5 per cent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take hair supplements containing biotin once daily. This needs to be continued for 4-5 months to see significant results. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

My son went camping last weekend, waking with chafed swollen lips, and itchy roof of mouth. I gave him Benadryl, and hydrocortisone for his lips. This helped, but did not take it completely away. Same symptoms persisting this morning. What should I do?
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. It seems your son has got angioedema involving lips. This is a swelling involving deeper tissues than skin, and usually it takes a few days to disappear. I would suggest you to give your son an oral antihistamine & montelukast daily for 3-7 days depending upon response. Hope this will help you. Wish your son a fast recovery and best of the health. Regards.

i just got word of my 85 yr old mother falling and xrays show a broken hip.. i am a ways away, have sisters and brother following her to hospital.. being transferred for surgery.. she is type 2 diabetic. on blood pressure meds.. had a stroke with little effects about 15 yrs ago.. concerned about anesthesia... she stays quite active.. just concerned...
Hello dear, I can understand your concern regarding your mother. I will say you have patience, it usually takes much more time to heal in elderly patients. Since your mother is known case of diabetes type 2, it will furthermore slow the healing process. As per Anesthesia is concerned, I think her anesthetist must know about her history, they will manage it well.please rate my answer if you found it helpful. Best wishes for your mother s health.

Hi, Two weeks back i was detected ITP and doctor started wylosone 45mg. My question is I feel always tired and fatigue since before starting medicine and still now. Why? I not able to walk more distance my breathing started fasting. I not feel still any better health after starting steroid. Why? Is tiredness is the part of ITP?
Hello dear thanks for your query at ChatDoctortiredness is not part of ITP. It could be due to steroids. Steroids can cause tiredness and restless less. But your saying tiredness is before starting steroid, other causes should be ruled out.important because I would consider here is anemia, it can cause fatigue, restlessness, and breathing problems. Get one complete blood picture to rule out any anemia. If symptoms are increasing, difficulty in breathing please consult doctor for further investigation and management. Do not stop steroid abruptly for any reason regards

hi my 11 year old is suffering from asthema and a constant allergic cough which has been diagnosed as sysptom of respiratory obstruction. he was on a regime of Levolin and budecort. but now the doctor has put him on Foracort. it dosent seem to be helping much. should I switch back
Hi I have read your question and understand your concerns. Thank you for posting in Chat Doctor. Levolin contains albuterol that is short-acting bronchodilator but has rapid mechanism of action, while Decor contains budesonide that is a steroid. Your doctor has put him on Forecourt that contains Budesonide and Forometrol (that is a long acting bronchodilator). So instead of using two inhalers, a patient can use single one that comes in combination. If Forecourt doesn't help much you can use Leveling and Decor. I suggest my patients Tablet Montelukast (chewable) 5 mg at nighttime as well. Wish your kid good health.

I experienced a slight pain in the lower abdomen around a week back and visited a doctor. She said there is a small cyst on the left side. I was due for my periods on the 30th June. The doctor asked me to come back after my periods. We are trying to conceive now. I still have not got my periods nor is there any pain. I took a home pregnancy test today but it came out negative. Can I still be pregnant?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Since you are overdue by only 4 days, it might be too early for your pregnancy test to be positive. You can wait for a week more and recheck the urine with a highly sensitive kit available at pharmacies. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

My son is 15 months old and has had a chesty cough for 3 or 4 days. He does not seem unwell other than the cough. He has been very sleepy and upset during the day but this is most likely due to him having disturbed sleep in the night. He has been eating quite well until today when he is still eating little bits but is not eating much in comparison to normal, I also think he might has a sore throat - he can t talk yet but his babbling sounds quite hoarse. Should I take him to my GP or is this something that will just pass without medication?
You Just give him Untold, cough syrup, steam inhalation. If not responding consult with Pediatrician.

I have been experiencing some moderate to severe pain that radiates from my right side of my upper back (shoulder blade) upper arm, under my arm and to my chest area. The pain is a stinging, pain that has not stopped since it started about 4 days ago. It feels like pins and needles at times, but it hurts to the touch almost like sciatica but in my upper right arm, chest and back.
Hi I am Chat Doctor. . In my opinion it may be a kind of muscular spasm due to heavy lifting, vigorous movements or even wrong sleeping postures. You may begin with avoiding such movements, overstretching and extending your elbow sometimes an arm sling is helpful. Usually it resolves simultaneously within the first week but may extend to 2 weeks according to the trauma or injury severity. For my patients I recommend NSAIDs painkillers like Advil tab when needed, hot massages with topical gels will be ok if not you may need MRI to exclude any kind of nervous injury in your spine or shoulder for proper evaluation and treatment. Please consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

During a recent hospitalization I was changed to several new meds that I m still taking. They are Eliquis, Atorvastatin, Famotidine, Hydralazine, and Metaprolol. Since my return home, I have been having trouble with loss of appetite, nausea and shortness of breath. I m wondering if any of these new meds are responsible, but I have spoken with my doctors but they have no answers for me. Do you?
Hi, you have been given medicine mainly for venous thrombosis and heart. They have given medicines for gastritis as well, famotidine.Sometimes cardiac problem will lead on stomach wall edema and that might be responsible for your lack of appetite. This problem should be taken care by the medicine you are already with. So don't worry. But if shortness of breath persists get investigated again.

Lately I have been experiencing feverish conditions. The inside of my body feels like a high fever but my skin feels just warmer than normal. I took my temp and it was 101.9. I have several other symptoms including extreme lethargy ( have trouble stating awake all day), confusion, forgetfulness and the one that bothers me the most is the dizziness. When my eyes move, I feel like there are tails following slowly behind. I had a hysterectomy in 1996. Thought that I was B12 Deficient, but did labs and it came back 904. My RBC Folate Result was elevated to 1022. Have any ideas?
Hi I did review your condition. High red blood cell folate is seen in few conditions like obesity, vitamin B12 deficiency, blind loop syn Chat Doctor. I would advise you to consult a doctor and get yourself analyzed for the fever and confusion that you have been having. The best initial tests would be complete blood count, liver function tests, kidney function test, and thyroid function tests as well as serum electrolytes. Then we will probably know the cause of your fever or at least know in which direction to move forward. I hope this helps Wish you a very healthy life ahead.

I have a bruise like spot on my lower right leg, it kind of indents a bit, no pain though. I have had it now for a year and a half. I showed it to my doctor and he told me to go to a dermatologist . I am just worried it has something to do with my liver? I have a fatty liver but have recently quit drinking, about a month now. What do you think?
Hi, You should first take aggressive treatment for fatty liver. In order to rule out bleeding disorders get a Bleeding time, clotting time and PT and INR done. If these are normal then you need not worry. Regards

My son`s age is 4 years and 2 months. Since last three days, my son had a total of 5 times nose bleeding. Making pressure in the bridge of the nose stops the bleeding effectively.

Would you please answer it soon?

Whenever I bleed, like a cut on the leg, anything that touches the place thats bleeding, like long pants, blankets, etc, the blood will sort of "grow onto" whatevers touching it, when i seperate them it feels like pulling of a scab and can be painful, Im just wondering if this is normal
Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. It seems that you are suffering from mild variants of Bleeding disorders. You need to undergo FBC (Full blood count), peripheral blood smear examination, platelet count, Bleeding time, Whole blood clotting time and a coagulation screen Activated partial thromboplastin time (APT)Prothrombin time (PT)These initial tests can be done in any good primary laboratory. If coagulation screen is abnormal pointing towards coagulation disorder you may have to undergo in special hematology laboratory-Specific factor assays - factors VIII or IX ; factor VIII and WWF in FWD.if these tests are all normal, then -tests for deficiencies of clotting factors other than VIII, FIX, and FBI, which are rare Bleeding Disorders but can cause relatively minor problems as you have mentioned, though often remains asymptomatic.

My friend (aged 43),(mother died of breast cancer aged 57), has been diagnosed with rectal cancer, (located15cm within her rectum), that has been within her body for 12/18 months, key hole surgery has been ruled out and she is waiting for a CT scan to find out if this has spread. It is seen to be an infected area as opposed to a tumerous mass, but it is a rather large area thats involved. Can you tell me if this in your opinion, can be surgically removed without leaving her with a stoma or if it can be cured with radiotherapy and chemotharapy? RegardsAnita
A rectal tumor which is located 15 cm from anal verge in the rectum can be removed surgically with an anterior resection without the need of a permanent stoma. Other factors have to be considered prior to this surgery including:1. Is the tumor localized or has distant Mets. A CAT scan of abdomen and pelvis and a chest radiograph would give the stage of the disease and confirm or rule out metastasis.2. Negative circumferential resection margins (CRM) can be obtained or not. An MRI of rectum will settle this issue. If patient has no distant metastasis and no perirectal extension (extension through rectal muscle into surrounding tissue) or perirectal lymph adenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes around rectum) then upfront surgery with anterior resection can be done. If there is perirectal extension (T3 tumor) or perirectal lymph nodes then neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) chemoradiation therapy needs to be given prior to anterior resection. If there are distant metastases then it's a palliative case requiring palliative surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. I hope I have answered your query. You can discuss it with the treating oncologist. If you have any further questions I will be more than happy to answer.

I had a car accident and had an MRI and have a loss of normal T2 high signal in the L4/5 and L5/s1 discs, which both show samll disc bulges on the sagittal images. Also a suspect transitional arrangement at the lumbosacral junction. Also at L4/5 there is a small broad based right paracentral disc bulge which is causing slight distortion of the right lateral recess . Also at L5/s1 a small central disc. I have been getting injections twice a year since this happened but they are no longer helping. What is the next step?
Dear as you said small disc bulge then this wouldn't be the house of pain, but transitional movement at lumbosacral junction can house such pain so first you undergo dynamic X-Ray at lumbosacral spine and if shows sign of mobility then it should be fixed by a neurosurgeon then only you will have relieved of symptoms.

Good day Doctors,My mother, aged 54 years, was recently diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) - 12mm hole. She hasnt been facing any severe symptoms even now except that she feels shortness of breath while climbing the stairs. A local doctor has put her on Ecosprin 150 mg at the rate of 1 tablet in the night. Kindly suggest me whether I need to go for further treatment at the moment.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your mother is having shortness of breath on exertion (climbing stairs). And in ASD patient, this can be the early sign of heart failure. Esprit is antiplatelet. It is for prevention of blood clots. It has no role in heart failure. So you should definitely consult her to cardiologist and get clinical examination, blood pressure monitoring and 2d echo to rule out heart failure. She might be improved with diuretics and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. No harm in continuing Esprit but it won't relieve her symptom of breathlessness on exertion. Diuretics and other cardiac supportive

It has no role in heart failure. So you should definitely consult her to cardiologist and get clinical examination, blood pressure monitoring and 2d echo to rule out heart failure. She might be improved with diuretics and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. No harm in continuing Esprit but it won't relieve her symptom of breathlessness on exertion. Diuretics and other cardiac supportive

I m 33 years old and I m an African American, and I have tingles in my left side of my head and also the left side of my face. It sometimes feels like an electric shock, due to this I can no longer put my face in water. And the most time it most bothers me is when I chew my food and today I yawned and my left side of my face tingled really bad. But it hurts when it happens sometimes I cry, because it hurts so bad. Can you please tell me what this is ?
Hi, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern for this pain. Are you able to demarcate the pain site sharply ? If yes then most probable cause of your pain in trigeminal neuralgia. The nature of pain is mostly electric shock or needle prick, and the triggering event is same as you describe in most of the patient. The pain is in the course of the trigeminal nerve which is a fifth nerve in brain. The episode of pain is preventable. Carbamazepine is the first line treatment for this kind of condition. Hope you find this helpful. Regards.

Hi,Doctor,There is a problem in my wife abdomen, as in 2009 jan got baby by operation(2nd baby 2nd operation), and after 3 month at left upper abdomen there is reddish circle araised with some bulge with pain, doctor told this may be hernia or infection and they done the operation in september 2009, but the thing is not corrected till now , Yet the problem is that white trans parent color liquid is coming from the point of operation there is a hole of 2 cm is not closed and there is a some hardness is the inside the sotmach back to the operation place
HI. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This is a book-picture of a few conditions:-This can be a stitch abscess. A proper exploration under general anesthesia, removing the debris, the stitch will cure this problem. -If there is associated hernia, it can be closed in layers BUT without a mesh as this looks to be an infected wound. -A proper course of an antibiotic, correction of anemia, hypoproteinemia will help proper healing and avoidance of infection.

Hello. I had an infected sebaceous cyst on my lower back drained on Tuesday.Ive been on antibiotics. It appears that the hole he created to drain it has split open, and it continues to drain lightly at various times through the day and night. Its the weekend now. Will I be OK to wait until Monday for him to look at it again? And I assume it will need to be cut out and stitched up?
As per your question it's highly prone to infection, though you are on antibiotics. Its Chat Doctor. As it's a surgical procedure you went through, dont wait. Contact your surgeon and let him have a look.

I have been sick to my stomach and my head feels full like I want to throw up for a couple of weeks now. It started when i started having pain between my shoulder blades. I do have high blood pressure but it is controlled by medication. And this past weekend, i went to sneeze and i had a jarring pain through my shoulder blades and into my neck. I went to the doctor and he said i pulled a muscle. But I am still nauseated and my head feels heavier than it should.
Hello! I understand your concern. In my opinion this may be something more serious than a muscular contraction. The pain you are having, and the gradual increase mean that something is happening in this region. It may be a cervical or thoracic disc bulge, a spinal tumor or an infection located in your column or UN the surrounding tissues. The headache and nausea may be signs of an infection. Have had fever during these days? I would recommend you to go to the doctor, have a physical examination, a routine blood test for infection, a service- thoracic x-ray, followed by a service- thoracic CT scan.Finally, if this diagnosis ate ruled out further exams may be needed for gastrointestinal or heart problems. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes Chat Doctor.

I am 57 years old, and work in a school kitchen, so do heavy lifting at times, and have to do things quickly. The past 4-5 days I have had pain on my left side behind the bottom area of my rib cage more towards the front to middle and side (does not seem to be in my back). It seems worse when sitting. I wonder if this is simple muscle strain, or if could be something more.
Hi, It seems like you must have strained a muscle. Kindly take tablet diclofenac 50 mg twice a day after a heavy meal for 3 days. Also use topical muscle relaxant sprays in the affected area. Kindly observe for three days. If it still doesn't get alright kindly consult a doctor. Also check if there is any swelling in the left lower abdomen near the pubic region to rule out hernia.

literally a week ago i woke up and the right side of my inguinal area i noticed two lumps the same size. i looked it up and it seems to be swollen lymph nodes maybe. then monday i started to have spotting. i don t have a normal diet. i am a very small skinny girl and i stress a lot and have bad anxiety. i freaked out about swelling quite a bit. could the swelling be causing me to spot or is it my stress and diet ? i am sexually active and i am on birth control. we use triple the protection. i got 2/3 of my cervical cancer shots. i just need advice i am freaking out. does something serious grow over night like that ?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your question. Do not panic so much. I can understand that you are very anxious about your health. A lump in the inguinal region can simply be due to inflammation of the lymph nodes over there due to some infection. Spotting is not due to these lumps. Do not neglect your diet. Have regular diets. You see anxiety is an ailment which can be overcome very easily. Try relaxation techniques like consciously breathing in and out twice a day for 5 minutes. It will help you to relax. Every night before going to sleep write out 3 things that went well that day, it can be anything like you read a good story book, or you helped someone in the street, cooked a delicious dish just anything. For the lump, I would suggest you to visit a doctor and get it examined. It may be nothing serious, just a routine checkup. Have a nice day. Regards

hi .... i am a 23 yr old woman....i am suffering from moderate acne from the last 5 years. I have tried a lot of treatments. Recently, I visited a dermatologist and she prescribed Skin O2 capsules. Does this have any side effect if I continue this capsule for a long time?
Hi, Skin-O2 capsule is a nutritional supplement containing multivitamins and essential trace elements required for normal growth of skin and hairs. Generally it is well tolerated however it may cause stomach upset, nausea, metallic taste which usually subside over period of time. Other side effects that may occur on prolonged use include dyspepsia, belching, and constipation. Continue to take as prescribed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Friday morning I woke up with fever , chills, & nausea . The right side of my butt cheek was hurting. I went to doctor & he said I had kidney infection & sinus infection . She gave me Cipro. I didnt mention my butt bc I thought it was the psyatic nerve. Later that night, the pain was extreme. I have a large knot under the skin on the inside of my right butt cheek (crack). Size of an egg. No head, like a boil . Its Tuesday & it s still there. Heat helps some, but not much. I do not want to have surgery. I do not have insurance. What could this be?

Hello, recently I went to a trampoline park and as I jumped I feel a great pain all round my chest and upper torso including my back, since then in certain positions I have had pain in my upper back and chest - please not that I have a pigeon chest. Thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more because your pain is associated with movements. But better to rule out heart and lung related causes first because you are having pigeon chest. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac diseases. Get done chest x-ray to rule out Pulmonary causes. If both these are normal then no need to worry about major diseases. Musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant 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.

Last night I started getting pains in my upper front right chest. Now I cant assume that its a heart attack because I do have asthma which was aggrivated by this issue. Then later in night I woke up to pain in the upper back on both sides and my asthma was aggravated again and it was hard to sleep. This morning the area ached but was not as bad during the night, and both seemd to go away for the day, now at 330pm EST Im getting those front right chest pains again?
Hi! Asthma sim toms commonly don't have pain but a respiratory distress. You prescribed the pain in the manner that i believe it's a muscular problem more than a sign of asthma reactivation. I think you can take some analgesic(anti pain) medication to see the difference. With regard

I think I might have OCD, but I am not sure. I was reading about it because I was worried about a friend, but then I read that tapping or counting numbers was a sign of it. For a while now, I have been repeating words in my mind, and each syllable gets a finger. Then I tap on my fingers what I just heard. I can t skip over fingers, and it has to end on a pinky or thumb.

Ive severe toothache in one of my molars the pain increases as I lie down to sleep. Ive been taking 625 mg amoxicillin clavulanic acid tablet twice daily for 4 days but the infection doesnt seem to go. Ive tried taking paracetamol+ibuprofen/Ketorolac/zerodol but nothing helps. the only relief is keeping ice cold water in my mouth. Please help!
Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pain while lying down suggests you have an irreversible pulpits. I suggest you to get the x-rays done and root canal therapy. Medication will subside the infection, but the source of infection(your tooth) needs to be cleaned, to clear the infection completely. This cleaning is done in a root canal treatment. A root canal will completely eliminate pain. You can complete the course of antibiotics for a total of 7 days(you already completed 4 days). Take retool 10 mg DT, you have to dispense the sachet into half glass water and have it thrice daily for 3 days. Regards.

My husband has cirrhosis,diabetes & hepatic encephalopathy. He is in the hospital for high blood sugars (now under control) But he also has high ammonia levels, he was 95 at admission, then 47, 29, 60, 40 he was like his old self at 29 but the next day the levels went up & he was mean, confused & threatening. Can he be stable or will he continue to have his levels go up & down? How can I his wife & caregiver take care of him with his mental staus changing from nice to violent? Does this mean his liver is worse & not processing the lactulose?
Hi, Your problem is of real concern, as cirrhosis is a chronic disease and the condition that you are mentioning is called hepatic encephalopathy and denotes advanced liver failure. Episodes of hepatic encephalopathy are common in cirrhotic patients and can be prevented by measures like avoiding constipation, monitoring the electrolytes level and avoiding low potassium levels, daily recommended protein intake control, prompt identification and treatment of any infection and most importantly by preventing gastrointestinal bleeding by applying band ligation to the dilated veins in the esophagus (Varices)

Hi I m 19 yrs female and I have had veneers on two if my teeth for about a year now. Two months ago the veneer where my tooth was shaven down started hurting. I would get up at night in pain. I thought my gums probably were receding due to excessive over brushing so I started using garlic to kill any bacteria and to seal the gum line. Now my gums look like they re peeling. They look blistered. I think it s due to the garlic and constantly placing it on the gum above the tooth. There is no pain throbbing on and off but my gums look terrible.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i would like to inform you that when veneers are placed, oral hygiene maintenance is very important, in your case it seems, gums are inflamed and are receding. I recommend use of antibacterial mouth wash(2 times/day), kindly see your dentist soon to avoid infection from spreading to the adjacent tissues, avoid applying garlic or any other topical agent until prescribed by a doctor.I hope I answered your query.I wish you good health.

Im a 43 year old. I had a fibroid removal surgery in 2008. for the last couple of years, I am getting a pain in my lower right abdomen which stretches to my spine. The pain kind of stretches from my lower right abdoment and puts pressure on my lower spine. It wakes me up from my sleep and I have to curl up or stretch to get some relief. I did an internal ultra sound and the report came back saying my uterus, ovaries and kidneys are all fine. What could be causing this pain and what must I do. Thanks
Hi welcome to ChatDoctorYour pain could be related to nerve injury postoperatively, more commonly seen in uterine surgeries. Nerve injection blocks like gabapentin will be very much helpful. Physiotherapy will also be helpful. Consult your doctor and physiotherapist for further queries.thank you

Hello! Thank you for the query. Your liver tests results indicate that you have bile ducts obstruction (homeostasis) most likely due to stones. No medicine is able to treat it. The best way for you is to consult GI specialist and have ERCP performed. This procedure will tell if there is an obstruction or not, and if so will treat it. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hi, It would have caused injury, provoked infection. If you are bleeding still, to stop it, you need to go to the ER. If not, you can take mild painkiller and antibiotics if suspecting infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Mam/Irately a lot of people are using alternative methods to cure things, I can say that that is something that can't hurt you so its worth trying. If doesn't work you should consult a plastic surgeon.

Hi m a 35 yr old female . my recent blood test showd that sgpt is 111 n cholestrol is 233 . my bad cholestrol is also high. i underwent ultrasound n it showed a fatty liver . dr has put me on tablets to bring down cholestrol n sgpt. i would very much like to know what eating habit wil help me to bring down my sgpt to normal, because all d time im feeling nausea . kindly advice me on wat to eat n wat not to eat.
Welcome to Chat Doctor If other causes for Hepatitis (liver inflammation) have been ruled out and the only evident cause for it seems to be the extra deposition of fat in the liver, then diet high in saturated fats should be avoided. Such a diet would include butter, Ghee and milk with cream etc. You should go for diet rich in unsaturated fats specially one that contains omega 3. Besides this exercise and weight loss would be a crucial thing to go for. Hope This was helpful Please ask for further queries if you have any. Otherwise, please remember to leave a positive rating. Best Wishes Chat Doctor.

hello, i am a 27 year old female, healthy, with a history of no major medical problems. twice in the past couple months, a large lump has appeared on my forearm (once on the outside of the right arm, and then on the inside of my left arm) which is then surrounded by a huge bruise within several hours. both times, this occured without any trauma to the affected area. any ideas why this is happening? thanks!
Hello hope the answer helps you. As you mention that without prior trauma noticed bruised lumps in arm twice. I think a detailed history as for any bleeding diaeresis as baleen, hematochazia needs to be sought, but otherwise you are healthy fit person and any bleeding disease in family and not on any anticoagulants then better you sit and wait to see it resolved out as not associated with fever to clue anywhere. If still happens again in future then needs consultation

my ecg is normal and i am healthy (162cm/61kg) and i walk a lot. in a master health check up, i was shocked to know that my chol level is 322/HDL-40/LDL-196/TG-406 but my ECG was normal. Please let me know if it is very harmful and do i have to take static tablet?
Hello, I understand your worries. But hopefully, the situation is reversible. Your Total cholesterol and the remaining variables are abnormal which puts you at a risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Having a normal weight does not mean you are not your lipids and cholesterol are going to be normal. I advise you to eat more of vegetables, nuts, whole grains. Avoid junk fatty foods and smoking. You have to see your G. P probably you will undergo more test and will decide if you need statins. Best regards

I fell down the stairs this morning. I landed on my shin bone. Its has been hurting since. I even had a difficult time drivin to work this morning and can not put much weight on it. However it is only red and not wry bruised or swollen. The skin is actually numb to the touch. Is this something I should be concerned about or just ice and take Advil?
This is a common problem after a trauma to the shin-bone. Though you may not see bruising there is probably bruising deep under the skin. This is a self limiting problem and will gradually go away. It may take a few weeks and don't be surprised if you do see bruising later along the foot. You can continue to treat it with Advil. Ice may also help reduce some pain. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

I have smoked cigarettes for years and now when I smoke I get headaches, throat pain, swelling in the throat, acid reflux, makes me very tired. I stopped smoking for a few days and felt better. I have been smoking again and the problems are back. I know I need to see a Dr. My question is do I already have cancer if I have symptoms like this from smoking?
Hello & Welcome to Chat Doctor, I had gone through your case and I found it might be due to over smoking which create gastritis due to which all symptoms you have mentioned is occur. For conformation of cancer you need to go for further investigation like biopsy of throat scrap and Ct Of Abdomen. But I am sure this will be only gastritis. Better for you to quit the smoking. Take antacid, multivitamin and proper regular diet to improve your fitness. Hope my answer will be effective for you. Thanks & regards: Chat Doctor.

I have a lump on the lower left side of my head. It hurts a little and the tenderness is now moving up behind my ear. It is also a little numb where it is tender. I was sick for about a week and a half and my cold is now almost gone. Should I be worried?
Hello! Thank you for the query. If this lump has appeared during the sickness, most probably it is a lymph node. Please note that lymph nodes get enlarged due to infection as a part of autoimmune response. Such node is usually movable and rounded. It should not be a reason to concern. Such lump can be also an abscess caused by sebaceous cyst infection. This condition appears in the area where there was a lump before. Redness, pain and swelling of this area should be present. In case of abscess you need to consult a surgeon and have it incised. If it's a lymph node you may wait and see how it will be acting. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hi Doctor, my son is four and half year old. he seems to have developed a kind of allergy (sneezing, itchy eyes) after a viral fever infection. now if i give him fluzet syrup just 5ml. a day, he will be fine for 2 days. should i take him to pedeatrition or an ent specialist?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25 mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

luate her meds nothing is helping her she is suffering so as we i need something to calm her down and put her to sleep in a very peaceful way everyone is closing doors in my face telling me nothing we could do about it please if you have a solution for me help me out
For calming and to put a person to sleep it is important to know about underlying disease and also her age and also whether she has any concurrent other medical comorbidity or not. otherwise for sleep and calmness Tab lorazepam is good option and according to age and medical profile one should choose from different types of benzodiazepine.

Hello, my niece is 30 years old and just had a seizure yesterday. Prior to the seizure she had symptoms that consist of becoming very hot and having a memory or flashback. When the episode was over she was white as a ghost and couldn t recall the flashback. This happened 5 times before the seizure. Then it happened again while in the hospital AFTER her seizure. An MRI was taken and we won t hear results until Friday, but I m so disturbed by this and wondered if you had any thoughts...Thank you!
Thanks for asking at Chat Doctor. I read your question and I understand your concern. Seizure with aura and postictal state is mostly idiopathic in nature. MRI is done to ruled out serious problems like brain tumor and others like Basal ganglia calcification in case of parathyroid problems. Other tests are also done like serum calcium, renal function tests, serum magnesium and random blood sugar. Once all the investigations turned out to be normal then she doesn't need treatment for seizures until she suffered second attack of seizure. Hope it helps best. Don't forget to rate this answer and close the discussion at Chat Doctor. Take your best care. Regards Chat Doctor.

Could you please tell me the prognosis of Liver Cancer. ? My friend has just been diagnosed with it and the tumours are on the blood vessels. She attended for Radioactive injections yesterday and will and will be told the results today.She has been told that they are malignant but they don t know where the Prmary is as the only tumours to show up on the MRI scan were on the Liver. Appreciate any information. Thank you.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Liver is the most common site for metastases. The reason for this is reach blood supply of liver and suitable environment for tumor growth. And to find liver metastases is an accidental thing. After this we need to search for primary. For this PET scan is best. So the radioactive injections you are talking about must be PET SCAN only. This will tell you the primary site of tumor. Possible primary sites are1. Lungs2. Kidneys3. Intestines etc.

My boyfriend & I have a horrible cold. Hes had it for 9 days I had it for 4. It started out with a bad headache which hasent gone away for my boyfriend yet. I had pins & needles in my arms & legs with weakness the 1st day. High fever, horrible sore throat which hasent gone away for eith of us. Swollen, painful lymph nodes, chills. Nasy....just fell horrible. It wont go away with any medicine we take. I dont have a clue if its flu, menegitis, mono???
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the symptoms of high fever, headache, cold and swollen lymph nodes seems to be due to Influenza commonly known as Flu and is a viral infection. As your boyfriend had the infection, you have communicated the same from him. As the viral infection runs its course, and it will get resolved gradually on its own, so as of now you can start taking supportive treatment like antibiotics like Augmenting or Azithromycin to prevent bacterial infection secondarily. Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Take Tylenol for reducing fever. Take decongestants like Pseudopod Chat Doctor. . Do saline nasal irrigation. Avoid chilled foods. Do steam inhalations, warm saline gargles and use a humidifier in your room. Sip on plenty of warm water. In case of no improvement in 5 days consult an Otolaryngologies and get evaluated. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

I am an athlete, I play baseball, i wear compression shorts. recently my lower area around the ball section has been hurting(sore). I dont think its a hernia because its not so much a groin pain. Im wondering if its because of one of my last games where I didnt where compression shorts but i wore boxers instead (that particular game I did run alot more than usual making freaquent sprints on the base path and field. I am the fastest on my team so I do run above par. Im wondering if its just a strain or if I simply overdid my last game because I can still run but I feel soreness when I do? Its not excrusiating pain either so Im wondering if you could help, or if going to see a doctor is a must. One more thing I didnt do a full out stretch like a normaly do so im wondering if you could tell me if this is a contributing factor to the soreness(strain).
It is better to be examined by your sports doctor before I comment anything.

I have a lump about ten inches below my right arm pit,my grandson was in my arms jumping he kicked me thier the next day I noticed it to be sore and it was bruised.that was about two weeks ago.but tonight I noticed thier was a lump,I don t know If It was thier before or after he kicked me,the lump Is not sore or does not move. thanks
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As per the history of trauma, it could be a hematoma (collection of blood) in the maxilla at the site of trauma. This should get absorbed of its own in due course. If it does not, or if it increases, I would get you assessed by a general surgeon, who might go for a mammography of bilateral breasts followed by a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) and possibly a biopsy of the lesion. Further management would depend on the clinical examination and investigation reports. 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

A 24-year-old recently post-partum female presents with lower back pain and fever to 101 degrees. She denies injuring her back and also denies any abdominal pain. She reports no urinary complaints or vaginal discharge.presence of significant tenderness at the junction between her posterior rib cage and her upper lumbar spine on the right side.Urinalysis dipstick performed in the office reveals specific gravity of 1.020, positive ketones, trace protein, large blood, positive nitrites, positive leukocyte esterase, TNTC white blood cells, and 4+ bacteria.
HiT hanks for posting your query. As per the description it seems like she is having urine infection which has spread to her kidney. I advise doing ultrasound abdomen pelvis to confirm our diagnosis. Also, she needs to get Urine Culture sensitivity test which will help in guiding which antibiotic needs to be given.

My daughter is 6 months pregnant with her 3rd child, the youngest being born April 4th 2016. She is type o- blood type. Yesterday when she stood up she had a sharp pain in lower part of her stomach, so intense that she had to sit back down immediately and wait for the pain to stop (about 5 minutes). Just now when she went to the bathroom she had blood when she urinated. More than a spotting. Now she had blood during her last pregnancy but not this heavy. Should we head to the hospital now? Or what do you recommend?
Hi, I guess your concern is spotting, and you should go to hospital now. Visit a nearby hospital/ nursing home where obstetricians and gynecologist specialist are available. If you have sufficient time go directly to your treating doctor. Firstly let us focus on your pain in lower part of stomach plus spotting followed by bleeding. These are the warning signs that there might be some problem in placenta (placenta connect the baby to the womb of the mother). Some problem of the placenta has caused this warning scenario in your daughter. For this you need to see the above said specialist as fast as possible. Secondly I would like to focus on childbirth spacing, that is if minimum gap between two babies is not adequate then this kind of scenario may happen-PRETERM Labor (not a good time to discuss in detail about it). In short, I can say that womb of the mother will not be fully ready/ has full strength to grow a new baby if proper spacing between babies or pregnancy is not there. I would like to suggest that you rush to visit a nearby hospital/ nursing home where obstetricians and gynecologist specialist are available. If you have sufficient time go directly to your treating doctor. I hope the information is useful, informative and helpful to solve your daughters problems. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Echo stress test and nomal lipid profile. Please help me know how to get out of these pain
Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Your chest pain appears to be Non-cardiac in origin since your echo and stress tests are normal. It may be Acid reflux. It may be atypical dyspepsia due to gall stones. I suggest you to try omeprazole 20 Mg with Risperidone medicine. If you feel better with this take it for 4 to 6 weeks.Otherwise, you need to consult a astrophysical for further work up. My best wishes Chat Doctor.

Hello. I m a 20 years old girl. One day more than a week ago I believe I sat too long on a bicycle with a very hard seat and after I started feeling a bit pain on the tailbone area. But I didn t pay much attention to it and I continued using the bike maybe twice more. But 2 days ago I was in a lot of pain and when I checked it out in the mirror I saw that I had a bump on the right cheek of the butt (above the anus, near the tailbone area). Its not much red or irritated but it seems swollen and like the size of an almond and it does not look like it has created pus. Yesterday I started using Advil for the pain and it was effective, then the pharmacist gave me Eudorlin which I tried but it had no effect whatsoever for the pain. So today after a night with no sleep I went back to Advil. I m really nervous cause I can barely walk, I can t sit, and I m not at all comfortable laying down, (so I m not getting much sleep ). Right now I am not in the position to go to the doctor so I really hope you can help Sorry for the long post.
Hi, i appreciate your concern.it seems you have coccyxdynia, due to injury on hard seat while cycling. There seems to be injury to last fragment of tailbone, causing irritation and swelling.i usually advice my patients to take site bat hie sitting in lukewarm water in a wide stencil, for 5-7 days, take some safe painkiller, use sponge cushion for sitting, apply locally painkiller creams, use anesthetic cream/gel in anus to help to pass feces.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Hello. I m a 20 years old girl. One day more than a week ago I believe I sat too long on a bicycle with a very hard seat and after I started feeling a bit pain on the tailbone area. But I didn t pay much attention to it and I continued using the bike maybe twice more. But 2 days ago I was in a lot of pain and when I checked it out in the mirror I saw that I had a bump on the right cheek of the butt (above the anus, near the tailbone area). Its not much red or irritated but it seems swollen and like the size of an almond and it does not look like it has created pus. Yesterday I started using Advil for the pain and it was effective, then the pharmacist gave me Eudorlin which I tried but it had no effect whatsoever for the pain. So today after a night with no sleep I went back to Advil. I m really nervous cause I can barely walk, I can t sit, and I m not at all comfortable laying down, (so I m not getting much sleep ). Right now I am not in the position to go to the doctor so I really hope you can help Sorry for the long post. ### Answer: Hi, i appreciate your concern.it seems you have coccyxdynia, due to injury on hard seat while cycling.

I have smoked in the past but quit last year when I found out I was pregnant. Ive had a few a day for a couple of weeks the past 2 weeks as I recently lost my dad but stopped again 4 days ago. Im still coughing and wheezing though especially night times and at times feel a bit short of breath.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Since you have started smoking again, this might trigger either bronchitis or infection in the lungs and caused you symptoms. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection.PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Better not to start smoking once you have left.

Hello! Thank you for the query. In this location sebaceous cyst is a very common lump. It is a kind of benign skin lesion filled with whitish masses. When such lump gets infected, pain and swelling appears. It is also possible that you have a lymph node in this are. Please consult your doctor. In case of doubts ultrasound can be done.

My four year old got sick Thursday morning at about 2am. He puked about 5-6 times and had a fever until seeming to be all better at about 7pm Thursday evening. I took him to school Friday morning and then received a call that he had a rash all over his body at about 1pm. The rash isn t itchy and he doesn t seem to even notice it. I m assuming its not contagious because I haven t caught it. Any idea s on what this may be or any treatments for it? I gave him children s Benadryl about 45 mins ago and it doesn t seem to have done anything.
Hi, thanks for the question. It is likely to be due to chicken pox or any other viral fever with rash. Both conditions require just symptomatic treatment. You should see a pediatrician who will confirm whether it is chicken pox or some other viral fever with rash.

when i went for a movie someone pressed my breast for a fracwhen i went for a movie someone pressed my breast for a fraction of seconds,but i was fully covered.this happened before 3 months and i am having this doubt for past 2 and half month.can i be pregnant?
Pregnancy does not just occur because one gets her breasts fondled. However, excessive and repeated breast stimulation may lead to milk let down from the nipple which may in turn cause a woman to miss her period even when she isn't pregnant.

I have been going through some tough times and haven t been eating right, I also haven t been sleeping right and now i smell blood and have a light pain in my forhead near my nose. I ve been feeling weak as well, I ve been feeling like this for a week now. Do you know what it may be?
Hi, I am sorry you are feeling like this. There are a few possibilities to explain your symptoms1. Sinusitis: This can cause pain in the forehead near the nose and bleeding from the nose which could be the reason you smell blood. 2. Depression/Anxiety: This could explain the multiple different symptoms that you are experiencing. It could be due to your current stressful events. My recommendations would be1. Consider Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 325-650 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for the forehead pain. Do not take more than 3,000 mg of Acetaminophen over a 24-hour period. 2. If you have symptoms of congestion, you can try an over the counter decongestant like Cetirizine 5 mg at bedtime or Loratadine 10 mg at bedtime until symptoms resolve3. Consider seeing a psychologist (behavioral therapist) to discuss how to cope with current stress. If they feel that you have anxiety/depression they can refer you to a psychiatrist. 4. Consider methods to decrease stress such as deep breathing exercises, medication and yoga. Please let me know if that was helpful. Thanks!

My 3 month year old son had his blood work done because he was losing weight and having trouble pooping. He was pooping every 2 to 3 days; once a day. Well, he was loosing weight because he had reflux. He had an X ray and he does not have pyloric disease. The doctor put him on Zantec and he is not throwing up. But, he had high liver enzymes when his blood was taken along with a high platelet count. Well, he got his blood work repeated and it went down and he s gaining weight now. But his platelet is still high. But, the doctor said since it s by it self not to worry, buy I am worried. What could be wrong with my 3 month old son? He passed his newborn screening and has no medical issues except reflux.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have reactive thrombocytes. It is very common after infection. If all other things are normal then high platelet count is not a problem. No need to worry about that. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

What causes the sensation of water droplets splashing on the back of my leg as I am walking? As if I walked in a puddle and water flicked up and touched the lower calf? My leg is absolutely not wet; just a peculiar focal sensation. It lasts a couple of minutes and then stops. Duration: 2 weeks.
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve (probably caused by a bulging disk in the lumbar vertebral column). For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, a lumbar spine CT scan or MRI study. Nerve conduction studies may be needed too. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi. My son who is one year old, weight is 11 kg, is suffering from DNS, his right side of nose is completely blocked and water comes from his mouth, eyes and nose. While sleeping he experiences difficulty in breathing and voice comes from his chest. what is the treatment, can we get DNS operation for him, as he is just one year old? Are there any other method to open the nose say fitting a pipe in the nose etc? should I consult ENT specialist or paediatric specialist?
Hi, thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. It is very uncommon to have severe DNS at this age, it tends to improve as they grow old. But as he is having difficulty breathing contact an ENT specialist as they will evaluate the degree of obstruction and advise simple airways to open his nose till they grow old. Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.

I woke up this morning with pain and stiffness in my neck, up sort of high near my ear lobe. It doesn t hurt in a normal posture, or if I tilt my head to the left, foward, or back. When I try to tilt my head to the right, it becomes very painful, and aside from pain it is very difficult to tilt it far, like something is stopping it.
Hello, It sounds more of a spasmodic Neck. This situation arises when there is an abnormal position acquired during the sleep and the bone of the cervical spine gets locked. You do not have to consume any medication but use the hot water fermentation to release the stiffness in the neck muscles which will allow the facet joints to get unlocked. Rest assured, you will be fine in 2-3 days of time along with hot water fermentation and simple neck rotation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have saracodism (lung) now I have lumps starting at the elbow going up the arm. My arm aches at night so bad I wake up rubbing it lightly. Both hands hurt and when I get up I can barely open and bend them. Is it all related to sarcoidosis or something else. Im scared.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. In the symptoms and history suggest possible cause for the above symptoms are enlarged lymph nodes.2. In this case you need to get a thorough study about the lung infection and its extensions. As lymph nodes enlargement is due to presence of any infection / inflammation or malignancies.3. The other possible cause could be dilated and tortious veins and suspicious of thrombosis - which need an upper limb vascular Doppler study. 4. In this case you need to workup with the issues with ultrasound, CT chest to evaluate the cause.5. Suggest you to see your treating doctor / GP and request for further investigations and treatment. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Hello doctors, I have been suffering for about six months now with moderate to sever pain in my abdominal cavity, Serveral specialist are working on diagnosis, however, it can be hard to make sure all the doctors see all the notes. In addition to pain I am swollen enough that people think im about six months pregnant. some of the diagnosis include pain primarily on the left side of my abdominal and in the left side in the back. I have three cyst on left ovary and one cyst on the right ovary. I also have a cyst on the left kidney. I often have difficulty urinating in that is necasarry to strain to void. Recently a umbilcal hernia was repaired successfully. All cyst appear not maliginant.. I do have ibs and diverticulitis and am positive for h pilori. I have pain when eating that is basically like pressure and achey. Most of my pain is on the left abdomen about natural waist down to the pelvic area in that pelvic area is the greatest pain
HI. Thanks for an elucidated history. You have IBS and diverticulitis. And this may be the reason for pain and bloating you have. On a safer side go for CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy and biopsy to prove or rule out any other pathology. CT will help to know the status of the ovary and the cancer potential and if required a diagnostic laparoscopy can be undertaken to have a proper diagnosis and may be for the treatment as per the findings.
