I got infuenza virus almost 8 weeks ago. 7 days after getting the virus I started having asthma attacks daily and still do. At the beginning I needed 50 mg predinisone to regulate my breathing. Also on 3 different inhalers. I am a non-smoker with no other illnesses and never experienced asthma or any difficulty breathing before. I had 2 x-rays and 1 ct scan that was good. Therefore my doctor said I have allergies ? I have never been testing for allergies and personally think this influenza caused this . Your thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe, you had chest infection. If its viral infection, or an allergy it will have a bacterial infection and lead to pneumonia, if not treated promptly may lead to recurrent breathlessness. The infection of the tuberculosis also should be excluded. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms lifetime, D.E.C, theophylline,cetirizine etc. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hi, Im 19 years old and i am suffering feeling of guilty because two months ago there was a friend and he was died by hanging himself but my problem was two days before i said that there is nothing in life and time is going so fast thats why i am feeling so stress. what can i do to come out form stress?
|
Hi, I am sorry about your friend and can understand your emotions. You seem to have developed negative thinking as a result of the stress which is resulting in your feeling guilt and worthlessness of life. All these are suggestive of underlying depression. I feel your condition demands immediate attention, and you should seek a psychiatric consultation without any further delay. Treatment with anti-depressant medications like Escitalopram or sertraline will be helpful in controlling your symptoms and will help you see the brighter side of life. In addition, you should consider exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.

Hello, lately I been having some dizziness (like when you get up to fast) but every time it happens I m most of the time laying down , also been having light but really annoying headaches, my left arm hand , fingers and face feels numb sometimes too... Am I sick or what is wrong with me?
|
Hello, After the fourth or fifth decade of life, those symptoms may be linked to transient ischemic attack and in such cases, evaluation by a Neurologist is necessary. In young people these symptoms generally are not linked to any specific conditions, fatigue, stress, unhealthy lifestyle may be some reasons. Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, please can you give me some advice? Often (for over a year), I get a rash on my neck and chest, which does not look like hives, it is not raised or spotty and it is just a patchy rash. It comes up when I am stressed, hot, or emotional. It seems to be where I got sunburnt last year, it faded, obviously. However when I get hot, emotional or stressed, it appears, it is really embarrassing because everyone thinks I ve been on a sun bed! I am taking anti allergy tablets for hayfever and they do nothing. Thank you.
|
Hello, It may be urticaria due to stress. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. You may take anxiolytic-like fluoxetine daily in the morning and loratadine at night for a long time. Avoid stressful conditions and be relaxed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi my husband had a steel clamp fall and glance off his head. It left a small ( 4MM) cut on the top of his head halfway from the top of his skull to the top of his ear. It did not bleed much at all - which surprised me and he did not get concussed or anything. He did not get the ususal egg swelling you see when you hit your head - so i was not concerned. Healed well - no coverage needed.Two weeks later he is now saying he can feel a small dent at the spot. Not sore but definately feelable . Aboutn 6mm big and maybe 3-4mm deep. I am starting to worry we missed some kind of fracture? Dont want to alarm him but is this normal?
|
Hello, This is probably just from scar tissue which can make an indentation in the scalp since it is thinner and more dense than regular scalp tissue. If it is painful to touch or if there is swelling he should see a doctor. Also, if he develops a severe headache he should see a doctor. Regards

i am 38 weeks pregnant with high blood pressure and my heart is racing just when i am laying here. I went to the hospital last night because of my headache and slightly blurred vision and they monitored me for a couple hours didnt really tell me much and sent me on my way! this morning the baby is moving, just not as much as normal, i have a slight headache and my heart is racing, why is this happening?
|
At 38 weeks with high BP blurred vision and headache is a sign of preeclampsia. I think you need immediate treatment. Go for USG and go for induction for delivery as early as possible.

my fiance is 46, he has had a hard bump on his arm pit that hurts for like 3 days now, its getting bigger, he just woke up and his armpit was sticky with kinda like a brownish pus. it has white little bumps that look like a pimple when its ready to be popped. do you know what it might be?

Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history about your fiancé and understood the concerns. The hard lump of three days in armpit with brown pus is suggestive of an infected sebaceous cyst or a boil. I would advise him the following in such a situation. Consult a Doctor to get a clinical examination and a valid prescription of an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicine with a painkiller property. Get a reference for a General Surgeon to see if incision and Chat Doctor. Apply liquid provide iodine locally.

Hello, I recently had a root canal done. During the procedure, my dentist would repeatedly remove the drill from my mouth and place the drill bit into a blue box that contained several holes. He would read off a measurement to his assistant and then return the drill/drill bit into my tooth and drill more. The blue box looked old/worn. I now have several sores in my mouth and am paranoid that it is the result of his putting the drill bit ito the box where all other root canal measurements are made and then back into my mouth. I am scared about the procedure not being sterile and getting disease from this. Is this something that should be reported? Should I switch dentists?
|
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Please note that if you are paranoid or curious to know if the instruments being used are sterilized or not then please feel free to ask. It is your right to know if the treatment offered is aseptic or not. Therefore rather than changing the dentist please talk about your problem and ask them to use a new set of kit for you. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take caretaker care.

Hi, i twisted my ankle about 5 yrs ago, i never got it checked out, i started a job where im on my feet walking all day, my ankle is now hurting very badly, feels like its breaking, And when i take a break and sit for a few minutes and try walking again i cant bare down on my foot because it feels like its broke, i have to walk a minute before i get any relief. its my left ankle, i cant turn my foot towards the left with out feeling alot of pain. What could possibly be wrong with it. and what can i do to relieve it?
|
Hi, Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. In cases like yours with an ankle sprain and then continued pain, it is most likely that there was some soft tissue damage on the structures that support the ankle joint itself. There is a ligament and two tendons on the outside of the ankle that are the main stabilizers, and these structures can get stretched, partially torn, or completely torn with a sprain. Most times, these will scar back down and continue to support the ankle. Other times, they will not be able to do the job as they did before and will have to work "overtime" to do the same job. This area then gets inflamed and painful, especially after a full day of trying to stabilize the joint (being on the feet all day). It is wise to start out with an ankle brace and see if that helps the area, as the brace can do the job of these soft tissue structures and give them a break to help decrease inflammation/pain. I hope this answer helped, if you have any further questions, I am here to help. Thank you.

hi my friend discovered high SGOT & SGPT level during his LFT first time after that he got cautious and quit alcohol and smoking but still during his second test he found his SGOT/PT levels,which dramatically rose upto 54 and 154 in 5 days despite following a very healthy diet.
|
HelloYour friends finding suggests raised SGPT and GOT level. Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, fatty liver,autoimmune causes etc. Increased GOT and SGPT may be related to alcohol intake in your friends case.GOT is non-specific, and it increases in many conditions. Your friend may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. Ia suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. He should go for brisk walk and do exercise. It is good that he don't Chat Doctor. He may need few more medicines after full investigation. Get well soon. Take Care

I have bee going through this for about six months now. and I keep getting different answers. In May I flew home on a short flight I Had two Symmetrical rashes in the same spot on had 2 symmetrical rashes inthe same spot on both legs. The swollen with edema, I went to my primary doctor a dermatologist and and allergist.I have had ultasounds biopsies and all kinds of blood work. My legs hurt right down through the bone and it feels like ther are 10thousand pin pricks coming out. at one point there was purpura and bleeding and severe bruising. No one can figure this out. The Dermatologist just wants to sell me elixers and free and clear shampoo. First the said vascullitis then a reaction to bug bits then today eczema. I am not buying it.. I also have little bumps that grow into what almost looks like a chicken pock mark. This is on my arms. I have been running fevers and having chills. I feel like no one car es or wants to give me the correct diagnosis. I was taking Diclofinac joint pain. The bruising and rash at first looked like HSP but everyone I have seen says I am not a little child. No I am a52 year female. Every joint hurts. It is hard to stand and move.I need to get the proper diagnosis.

I also have little bumps that grow into what almost looks like a chicken pock mark. This is on my arms. I have been running fevers and having chills. I feel like no one car es or wants to give me the correct diagnosis. I was taking Diclofinac joint pain. The bruising and rash at first looked like HSP but everyone I have seen says I am not a little child. No I am a52 year female. Every joint hurts. It is hard to stand and move.I need to get the proper diagnosis.

Since I was in my late teens and early 20 s I have had issue with fatigue , I have always had poor ability to focus, Dx with ADD/ ADHD as a child. I spent almost all my 20 s pregnant or nursing, had a very difficult relationship with the father of my four boys and not surprisingly, was Dx with depression . In 2009, I noticed that I was having drenching nite sweets that were off and on and I just put it off as nothing, I have always bruised easily, and have had eczema since my teens and was told it eas food allergys. Back/muscle pain is no great mystery since I have been in the nursing profession since 1999. All that said within this past few weeks I have had a storm of all these symptoms that left me feeling as though I would be better off dead. I became covered with hives , bruising to my inner thighs that is anout finger tip size and spotty, pain all over , in my back , but especially in my right shoulder and scapula .. The fatigue was so severe, I could barely function, and chills and nite sweets, I had a refill on medrol dose pack and started it 3 days ago and the itching stopped, the pain is better, but not resolved , still have chills, but no fever, and I can handle activity if I pace my self with brakes. I went for a massage today and could not relax enough for releif, I was told I was to high strung. Yippy, all my life! High strung, lazy, crazy, hyperchonriac? Fine, Im crazy, right?

My father who is diabetic hypertensive and IHD with stent placement done in MAy 2012. now doctor while taking ultrasound is suspecting Gall bladder cancer , so MRI was taken. Doctor told its stage IV with liver and periportal lymph nodes ivolvement . Doctor suggested palliative open colecystectomy? Father is right now very fine doing his normal duties, no symptoms. I went to take second opinion from another doctor. He ask for CT scan saying MRI is little doubtfu. it might be chronic inflammmation too. Now is a CT scan actually required? Other people are telling not to subject him to surgery as it will only torture him. Please advice????
|
Hi, Contrast enhanced CT scan can confidently comment regarding liver metastasis and enlarged peripheral lymph nodes. If on CT scan these findings are found out then probably stage IV disease can be diagnosed. Then a FNAC can confirm the tissue diagnosis. If the disease has already spread to that extent it will be better to put the patient on chemotherapy, surgery will not be very helpful. Take care.

my daughters had an accident about 2 months ago they were in some go carts at a skating place when one of them crashed into the others go cart, one of the girl s was complaining about her back for a while like 4 weeks she couldn t go in and out of the car without pain she could not even bend, but after a few weeks everything went back to normal she could play and stretch without pain, then about a week ago she was playing and dancing and moving her head to the sides when she felt her neck was hurting really bad and could not rotate it without pain. now she has a bump on the right side of the neck and on the back, can you tell me what this could be, and if you think is related to the accident she had, should I take her in for an MRI?

The neck selling may not be related to older injury and needs to be examined fresh by a doctor. It may be from soft tissues and only after assessment, X-ray or MRI or whatever tests needed would be advised, treatment also follows accordingly

So please do suggested things as early as possible. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating, helpful vote & thank you according to your satisfaction level. Thanking you.

My 5 month old son started getting a rash on his neck about 2 weeks ago, only a few spots evident but over the last 2 weeks, its spread all over the neck and under his arms. Its ike spots that look quite sore , they re raised but dont appear to offer hm discomfort.
|
Hi, Most likely it will be militia- a rash developing commonly in summer from blockage of sweat glands. It appears as minute pa pules over an erythematous base. Nothing other than frequent wetting with cold water (not ice-cold) is needed. For some patients with itching, calamine lotion and occasionally antihistamines Chat Doctor. It is better to avoid talcum powder as it can exacerbate the situation. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a 16 year old who is small for her age and is ADHD and OCD. she talks fast and loud. Is there a medicine that she could take that would reduce these symptoms? She has previously taken Strattera, Concerta, Adderall XR, and adderal 10 mgs twice per day. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated
|
Hi. I had gone through your query. OCD and ADHD both require extensive treatment with biological medicines. Medicines that have you mentioned in query are appropriate to disorder. Proper dose and regular assessment are advisable to observe improvement. Medicines will take time to act and treatment will be a long. Fluoxamine and methylphenidate are alternative options for treatment. But it can be taken after proper detail assessment and evaluation. Medicines compliance is must. Behaviour modification and parenting or parental counselling can help. Thank you.

hai, this is preeti gupta, sir , im faith up with my allergy , im tired with it before 2 yrs, and it iritates it , it lokks like a pit, which falls on my body very fast. could u pls advice for it, i used lots of medicines as per advice of doctors, but i didnt get any good responce it still remains same.

Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. As you have chronic allergy problem so I would recommend you following things:> First & most important is to find the cause of allergy. It could be from dust, pollen, specific food or insect bite. When you are able to observe the cause then you need to avoid it to the best of your effort.> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. I would also suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem for long. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.

I have noticed a small red pea sized lump on my foreskin that is painless. I have read about this just being friction from masturbation but I would like to hear an opinion, I have never had sex or engaged in any sexual activity other than masturbation.
|
HelloThanks for query. Pea sized lump on foreskin is likely to be either a boil or a sebaceous cyst and can be confirmed only by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon or Urologist. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Lifetime along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. If problem persists even after taking antibiotics you will need to get it excised /

Hello, Priyanka Dayanandan, I am reallybglad that you have gotten into work-outs! In the long run, this will be very beneficial to you and makes you healthy and strong and leads to long life. The symptoms that you are experiencing are very typical for someone who has been inactive for a long time. What I suggest is that you do your workouts three times week resting in between.The some nice warm tub baths if you can after your workout. Elevation of ESR is from activity. I would not worry about that. Good luck.

I have some sort of mass they believe is fluid in my sphlenoid sinus cavity. It was discovered on a CAT scan . The doctor I have seen also thinks I may have a polyp . He was able to shrink it with medlyprednisone and zithromax. He feels that it is imperative that I have surgery to remove it. I am wondering if there is any other option as having surgery in this cavity so close to the brain and carotid artery scares me terribly.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, sphenoid sinus surgery is safe, and there is no risk of injury to brain, even though it is close to brain and pituitary gland. This is provided the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon. If there is fluid in sphenoid sinus cavity, then medical treatment alone would suffice and surgery would not be needed. However, in case of polyp, surgery may be needed. The decision can be taken on the basis of symptoms, as surgery is optional and not mandatory in this condition. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

|
HelloThanks for query. The HY Chat Doctor. 2) Congenital PUB .(Pelvic Ureteric Junction).obstruction. Normally it gets resolved within 2-3 years as the child grows. The only confirmation test is to do Intro Venous Paleography and Maturating Cyst Arthrogram. You need to give him small doses of prophylactic antibiotics like Nitrofurantoin as per advise of Pediatrician for a period of 3 years . Get his urine test (Routine)done at frequent intervals of every three months.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last Oct. when I was extremely dizzy to the point of not being able to stand up, vomiting and nausea. Since then and once on medicine, I had side effect of dizziness that lasted 5 weeks. Two weeks I was okay after the 5 weeks of side effect and since November 2014, I am dizzy 24 hours a day with a different type of dizziness (more severe than the side effect dizziness) that I was unable to walk straight, etc. for 4 months...now it is milder but dizzy all the time for the exception of sitting. I have been tested and it is not vertigo or any vestibular disorder. YYYY@YYYY
|
As you were diagnosed as hypertensive and all your vestibular battery tests are normal as said by Yugo for a MRI brain this dizziness can be because of some migratory thrombus which may have occluded any minor vessel in brain...though a feeling of associated nausea and vomiting are again pointing more toward any peripheral disorder (like labyrinthine or possible deniers disease right now I would suggest you to go form brain carotid artery Doppler(look for occlusion of main artery to brain)pure tone audiometryserum vitamin B12 Levels

I have a painful lump on my lower left jaw bone. Had an x-ray done and it showed bone loss and a tumor. I have an implant at the same site. The implant seems fine. It is not loose or sore. There is no drainage or foul taste in my mouth. I just have this painful lump that never goes away. Is this something to worry about. Plus I have been very tired. M.H.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Bone loss on the x-ray and painful lump at a spot you say go in favor of either a chronic osteomyelitis OT a cancer of the underlying tissue. Urgent evaluation by clinical examination. CT scan and most important FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology will help to come to the final conclusion and treatment will depend upon the reports. Need of surgery is certain and do not make this late further. The role of the implant can be decided by CT scan only.

Hormonal imbalance will be seen during pregnancy. Baby mental development depends on thyroid hormones. You need to be monitored regularly for TSH throughout your pregnancy.Don't think too much about this. Just relax nothing will happen wrong.k.

Or even sit up right. What is going on?

I understand your problem, I would have guided you properly if you had mentioned your age and profession you are in (have you been in sitting profession for long, some desktop job???), with kind of details you have mentioned you are suffering from condition called coccydynia , and you also need to get an x-ray done for your lumbar spine. For your tail bone pain, you need to keep a lot of patience, it takes time to subside.In the meanwhile these are the following you should do to relieve pain.1. Take rest if it's paining badly, it works wonders2. Sit in hot water bath tub for about 15 minutes.3. Tyre like seats are available in medical stores in the name of cocydynia seats, these are there to release pressure from tail bone.4. Specific exercise known as keels exercises have to be done, consult your physiotherapist for the same. These are for strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, many of my patients have reported improvement by doing this exercises.ultrasonic therapy (on pulsed mode) and short wave treatment for 10 days would help you to relieve pain

Hi Doc, My Son is 13 months old but he do not have any teeth, also he is facing frequent motions for last 2 month, local doctors say that its because he is getting teeth. But till now no teeth has appeared. Please help me, I am very worried. Regards, Gopal
|
Hi, Teething should start at the age of 7 months. Late teething could be due to calcium deficiency or vitamin D deficiency, or it may be familial. You should expose him to direct sunlight before 10 o clock to avoid harmful Sundays for half an hour daily. If not, you should give calcium supplement and vitamin D supplement. For frequent motions give an anti-diarrheal Chat Doctor.

I had quick heart beats about 130 and when I checked my blood pressure it was 160/110. After one week now it is 140/90 and normal heart beat but I am taking blood pressure pills 2.5 which my doctors says I have to continue using and consider myself a blood pressure patient. He also told me there is a great chance that I get cured if I lose my extra weight which is 130 Kg. At work I face lots of stresses and at home also. What are my chances of being completely cured from blood pressure?

I am a 53 yr. old woman. The skin on my chest and sides of my neck is red but there is no itching. When I press on it a white spot appears and then the red returns. I have no other symptoms and its not a sunburn. I typically have no skin problems but about a month and a half ago ago I took an antibiotic that caused an itchy rash and some eczema. It took a few weeks for that rash to disappear. However, that was a month ago.
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to hives which is caused by an allergic reaction. I suggest to use antihistamine as such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Dexamethasone cream. I recommend avoiding antibiotics that you used which might have cause the reaction. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

5 days ago I got hit with a softball. It is on my inner right leg up above my ankle. It welted right away but I didn t put ice on it. It hurts to walk and driving with it, the bone itself hurts. The color of it is yellow with purple. It is a little warm to the touch but if something brushes against it hurts so bad. And Im not quite sure if I should go get an ex-ray for it.
|
Hi hope this msg finds u in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. U seem to have strained some sort of soft tissues in that region that might be causing pain and inflammation. If its warm and painful start analgesic and anti-inflammatory tablets. Ice packs. Restget a X-ray done to rule out any other cause. Nothing to worry about. Hope your question has been answered. If u have any follow-up queries, feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks Take care god bless

they told me Im allergic to something, but nobody knows what...I had these weird hives looking rash for like 3 months and it started to go away I think because my new job (fast food) makes my hair and skin smell really bad when i come home so Ive been taking 2 showers a day. But I just layed down on my couch too go to sleep and felt like something kept biting me, so I went into the bathroom to change clothes and theres hives starting to form again on my face hand arm legs and stomach...I know Im allergic to cats horses trees grass and antibiotics, but the only one of those im exposed to is my cat, I think it might be something else, am I right?

Hello, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. After reading your query it appears the possibility of "Urticaria". Urticaria is a common condition caused by bursting of allergy producing cells known as "mast cells". As the chemical inside them is released it produces a rash which you have mentioned. There can be multiple factors producing this condition which are included in day to day life and sometimes it is really difficult to find one exact cause. In your case you are correlating it with contact with cats. So it is better to stay away from the offending factors. For the betterment kindly follow the suggestions below:-Apply over the counter calamine lotion 3-4 times a day.-You can do cold water compresses to reduce the intensity of itching.-Do not scratch or rub the skin as it can lead to further aggravation.-You can take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine under medial advise. Despite above measures if the problem is not getting better than it is better to consult a dermatologist for best guidance. Hope these information will help." With good health wishes" Chat Doctor.

I am a 25 yr. old female and for the last 8 years my hands and feet are pretty swollen, and red. About 4 years ago i began feeling extremely tired and very weak it even feels difficult to get around or do anything physical.Could this be some sort of arthritis? oh and also my toes go numb randomly.
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your problem can be arthritis. You should exclude rheumatoid arthritis by getting rheumatoid factor test done.

If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.

Im a male. A small, dime size lump appears sometimes at my perenium. If i squeeze it hard, a pussy, bloody mixture excretes. I went to urgent care 3 months ago and the nurse practitioner called it follicititus, gave me antibiotics and suggested to go to emergency room if it comes back. It came back. What is this??
|
Hello, As per my clinical experience, lump on perineum with pus discharge can be a boil, sebaceous cyst or else with infection. If not resolving after recurrent course of antibiotic, an option of minor surgery can be discussed out with your surgeon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i missed my periods since 2 months , i have PCOD, i tested negative for pregnancy , so doc suggested me to take trito n 5 mg tablet twice a day for 3 days , but i din get my periods , instaed i have been tested positive for pregnancy . nw i m 5 weeks 4days pregnant . i was 2weeks pregnant when i took the tablet , now i m worried whether that tablet will have effect on may baby . should i continue this pregnancy or terminate it .
|
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Studies have shown that use of hormones during early stages of pregnancy can harm the fetus if it happens during the stage of organ differentiation, which happens at about 45 days of gestation, or 6 weeks gestation. Any hormone intake prior to this stage, as most often happens unknowingly, has not shown to be harmful. Thus, you are mostly safe since you took the medication very early in your pregnancy and that too, for a smaller period only. Yet, you should test for any possible fetal anomalies and the earliest way available is fetal DNA sampling. Hope this helps.

Hi, my father is of age 78 and is having a blood urea level 270 and creatinine stands at 3.4 for the last 4 months; and is having unbearable pain in his bones/joints. The doctor is suggesting hemodialysis twice a week and for the rest of his life. We are a worried lot and want some advice regarding this. can the urea and the creatinine level be reduced by medicine or controlled diet?
|
Hi, thank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. Urea and creatinine are waste products that are eliminated from the body by the kidneys through urine. If the kidneys are still functional, some Chat Doctor. In the case where the kidneys are no more functional (when a greater percentage of the functional units of the kidneys are destroyed), only hemodialysis can eliminate them. I would suggest you do as the doctor has said. The more you delay, the more the condition would worsen. I hope I have answered your query wish him well

Hi ive been having discomfort sometime during and also after sex on my penis. My symptoms are swelling little redness and a little pain just underneath the head of my penis. My question is what causes it and how can I stop it from happening. Thanks in advance.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com, swelling with redness and pain underneath head of penis just after sex is suggestive of having an infection around penis. Most probable infection type seems to be genital herpes from your descriptions of complaints that you have provided. Genital herpes is contracted by urogenital route by means of unprotected sexual intercourse. Its manifestations include red colored painful lesions around genital mucus membranes, vesicles, erosion, burning sensations, dysuria, painful coitus. Treatment includes antiviral medications such as acyclovir for 5-7 days, however chances of recurrence is very high. Precaution includes maintaining genital hygiene, avoiding sexual intercourse for about 2 weeks tills lesions heals, avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse. Also try to seek an opinion from meteorologist before starting treatment. Thank you.

Dear doctor,greetings..my cousin is 23 yrs old height 5 ft 5 inch,weight 45kg,is suffering from multiple lipoma since last 12yrs,the lumps have started growing since last 2 years.Please suggest some treatments to stop the growth of new lumps and reduce the size of the existing ones....please help
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. Thanks for your query. Usually lipomas are harmless until they do not interfere with normal routine of a person. But when they start inferring in normal routine of person, start growing or start paining they become cause of concern. I would suggest you to take apple cedar vinegar twice a day, apply turmeric powder paste on lumps, do regular exercise and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. If condition doesn't get better in month then consult doctor or surgeon for proper examination and rule out other cause like malignant growth. Doctor will physically examine the lumps and may order biopsy. Doctor may recommend their surgical removal, liposuction technique or may give steroid injection. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi. First stop taking alcohol. Passage of dark-colored stools is called malena-mixture of blood in stools. U might be suffering from alcoholic gastritis. Kindly get an upper GI endoscopy done. Til then avoid alcohol, any other gastric irritant. Take tab omeprazole 40 mg twice a day in empty stomach and spy Socratic 2tsp twice after food

I got food poisoning last night and was hospitalized - I feel much better than I did last night - but still terrible. The nausea has passed but I am unable to eat. Is there anything I can do for relief from the aching joints and soreness from vomiting?

Your results are good. Nothing to be worried about. GGT is only mildly elevated and could be only due to the alcohol intake. ALT is hardly elevated. Lose some weight, stop worrying and cut down on sugar and alcohol, and it should come down to normal.

Sometimes it feels like the insides of my arms and hands are shaking slightly but when I look at them, they aren t moving at all. Sometimes my head has this feeling I can t describe; it s inside also. Not a headache, just feels like something moving or shrinking? I don t know...
|
Hi, I think you are having muscle twitching. Should check your calcium, vitamin D, B levels, and blood electrolytes. Monitor your blood pressure and sugar levels, record the results for reference. Meanwhile, I advise taking magnesium, zinc, calcium and D3 supplement to minimize the shaking feeling of your muscles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi I m under a lot of stress at work while there the last few days I m expericing mild pain in the middle of my chest . I am prescribed Ativan and when I take one the pain subsides but when it wears off the pain is back can it just be stress related
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a specialist of the field (psychotherapist or psychiatrist) to help you manage anxiety. An antidepressant would be better than Asian as long term therapy for the management of anxiety. I would also recommend trying Omeprazole. If it helps, it would be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux or gastritis underlying your symptoms. In such case a fibrogastroscopy would be necessary. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,

I m have stage one uterine cancer. I m having a hysterectomy with the Da Vinci robot and I just read about the method of getting the uterous out called morcellation . And I was wondering if there is another way of removing the uterous than this method because I read it could spread cancer cells around when it is grinding up the uterous. Can you help me make a decision?
|
Stage 1 cancer uterus is curable after the uterus is removed. There is no risk of cancer cells spreading if the uterus is removed completely without touching the tumor area or cutting through the tumor. If you do not undergo robotic surgery other method is open surgery or manual laparoscopic surgery.

I have been taking Anxit 0.25mg/ per day for almost 9 years old. Sometimes when I get stressed out too much, I have taken 0.5mg also. I have in the last three days given up Anxit and started on Zolfresh 5mg/day. I am finding slightly uncomfortable in my chest and I have become easily irritable. I want to give up zolfresh also and sleep naturally. I am a 48 year old male and have experienced lot of mental stress in the last 10 years. My elder son is mute and autistic and my younger son has recovered from leukamia.. My earning is critical to the family and I need to stay healthy. I am losing a bit of competitive edge in the place of work also. I do not smoke and I am a pure vegetarian. I excercise for about 15 minutes per day and I take only raw vegetables and fruits in the night. I have a veg breakfast in the morning followed by working lunch and some light snacks in the evening. I take two cups of tea everyday. please guide me to sleep without a tablet

As you have been taking Ankit for many tears, you have developed dependence on these Chat Doctor. As you have a lot of stress and having decreased sleep for many years you must get yourself evaluated for depression/dysthymia. So get in touch with a psychiatrist who may help you for both your problems.

hello Doctor, I am a 22 year old man with no previous medical issues in regards to my testicles. however at the moment I am a little worries about the tails of both my right and left epididymis. after ejaculation they both become hard and a little swollen. My ejaculations have always been consistent and full with no pain. In addition I have no pain urinating or in general in regards to my testicles and penis. any idea what the issue could be? sometimes when I feel my testicles everything feels fine, the tails of my epididymis both feel fine- soft squishy and relatively small. however, during or post ejaculation they feel hard and swollen. In addition they feel swollen sometimes just out of the blue Thanks for your reply I m just very curious as to what can be going on down there
|
HelloThanks for query. During sex and ejaculation there is increased blood flow to all genital organs including testicles and epididymis. This increased blood flow results in congestion of genitals organs. The hardness of epididymis that you have observed is due to congestion of epididymis and testicles which gradually gets resolved over a period of few hours. It should be considered as normal physiological process. There is nothing to be worried about it. Chat Doctor.

I had a baby 9 weeks ago and began intercourse when she was 10 days old. I was breastfeeding then but at 2 weeks she was starting to be bottle fed. My partner and I have been having regular, unprotected sex since and have only been on the pill for three weeks. I have taken the first of the sugar tablets but had no period yet. I stupidly didnt think I could get pregnant again so fast, is it possible that I may be pregnant?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion as you are on the pill the chance of pregnancy is rare. Usually witChatDoctorplete breastfeeding there will be 3 or more months of lactation amenorrhea i.e., absenceof breastfeeding. Without breastfeeding there will be protection up to only 3 weeks. Mini pill is safe in lactation regards Chat Doctor.

I ve been in a plyhydramnios condition. I gave birth at 39 weeks to a baby boy and now currently experiencing hard to swallow condition and having hard time to breathe, without the aid of oxygen machine he can t breathe, the neonatalogist said my baby has pneumonia. Please do help on what medical advice you can give me.
|
Child if presents with Respiratory distress soon after birth, can be due to either Congenital pneumonia, TNB, HMD in preterm, or Meconium aspiration. In your case, pneumonia in neonates is a serious condition. It requires usually 7 to 10 days of I.V. antibiotics with oxygen supplementation. If the child has been put on a ventilator machine, that suggests a very poor prognosis for the child. The child will require a good nursery care with heavy antibiotics(according to culture sensitivity if positive) in form of Injection Reopened, Vancomycin or any third generation Cephalosporin. X-ray might give us a clue on how bad the chest is.

Severe headache and neck pain left side followed with nausea. Pain went away but the nausea stayed then again symptoms returned but less severe the nausea is staying and I didn t know if it s serious or what to take I ve taken Tylenol. Pain goes away the tension and nausea stays. I m 24 female and only done this during pregnancy and I just had my cycle may 16th so even if I was I would not be far enough. Is it serious.
|
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As there is pain in the neck and severe headache also, a neurological assessment is advised since the CTZ center is getting stimulated and the nausea felling is persisting. Try performing slow static neck exercises, as sometimes due to spasm of the neck muscles the pain in the neck, headache and nausea is felt. IF with the hot water fermentation, slow static neck exercises and breathing exercises the problem gets solved, it will be complete muscular and may not need to be worried as well. If the pain persists even after that, then a neurological assessment will be advised. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

hi,i had chronic cough over past 2 months and had a ct scan..ct says,small volume lymphnodes seen in prevascualr region,lungs are clear.My pulmonologist says nothing to worry and the lymphnodes are because of infection.I am worried about cancer.Please suggest
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Lymphnodes in the vernacular region that is in front of the heart are seen in many conditions. It can be present in cancer, tuberculosis, autoimmune conditions or mild infections. Cancer lymph nodes are usually larger than 10 mm in size and can cause pressure effects. Cancer also causes unexplained weight loss and chronic cough and so does TB. However, if your doctor has done a detailed clinical examination then there is no need to worry. If it is due to an infection then it will resolve with treatment. Please take medicines as given and then after consulting your doctor on a follow-up you can get repeat CT scan chest done and that will show the lymph nodes getting smaller or disappear. Please do not worry.

My daughter who is 38 has spent the last 6 years with chronic pain in the buttocks area. She has had a hysterectomy, 2 back spinal fusions and finally a surgery where they actually cut the periformis muscle. She is now addicted to pain medicines(morphine) and has no quality of life. I know there is some special Dr. who can help her, we just haven t found he/she yet. I want my daughter to have her life back and so does she . Can you help, please?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of your daughter. As he had past surgeries of spine, hysterectomy and performs muscle the pain in the hip is due to the nerve dysfunction in the lumbar spine. As she is 38 and suffering from hip pain I will advise to undergo physical therapy. In my clinical practice most cases with spine injuries, post spine surgeries, have always responded well to physical therapy. In fact I should say, they are functionally active and even age has not restricted them to achieve the best quality of life. Try out physical therapy. The process may be longer, but the recovery is for sure. If you have any particular query on how and what I can surely help you. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Since knocking my ankle on a concrete pot over a week ago my left ankle and top half of foot swell during the day and settle over night. Also on resting my right foot over I notice a deep indent appeared and took some time to settle. Other indents have also occurred at different times.
|
Ankle swelling after trauma is very common. It is painful condition. You need ice packs. Limb elevation during day. Do not sit cross-legged. Apply crêpe bandage. There is one cold compression ankle belt available from Don joy company which is very helpful for relief.

Last year, I went through much testing with a GI doctor. Finally, in June of 2013 I was rushed to the hospital with fluid around my heart and lungs. I was hospitalized for 7 days. During this period of time, I had my gallbladder removed as well since it showed it had gone bad. I have been well for 7 months. This past Sunday, my stomach started having contractions, spasms, whatever you want to call it. I was in horrible pain. But I went to sleep and woke up fine. On this past Monday, woke up fine, and about 3:00 pm it hit again. I was in so much pain, I started vomiting. I barely made it through the evening. I woke up Tuesday morning and was fine again. I made it thru Tuesday to today. I was fine all day until around 4:00 pm, The spasms started and I had to run to the bathroom for a bowel movement. I feel some relief but I am still having minor contractions and waves of pain. My GI doctor gave me an RX of Levsin/SL 125 MG, last year, but I have never taken the medication. I am wondering if I can take it now. I took Prilosec this morning and Zantac this afternoon around 4:00 pm. It is now 6:08 pm. I also take the drug Spironolactone and Kflex (an antiobiotic). I will call my GI doctor in the morning, but I am trying to get thru the evening without this intense pain that comes and goes. I am not pregnant either. Should I take the Levsin? Thank you, Anji

Hi. Surely you can take Lesson as you are in a pain. From your history I can decipher that you may probably be suffering from an intestinal infection or some sort of sub-acute obstruction. This gives the spasms. A good test is a take an X-ray of the abdomen in a standing position. This is a good investigation that can diagnose the obstruction part. Also go for stool test to rule out infection. It is a good idea to rule out any medical condition like diabetes / thyroid problem, as they too can give such symptoms. Would like to know about the tests and the progress.

Your father has cirrhosis. You have not mentioned cause of cirrhosis. Th cause of cirrhosis should be investigated (if not done already). Endoscopy and banding (BAND ligation) is the correct initial treatment for Bleeding from esophageal varices(swollen veins in the food pipe) in cirrhosis. You should consult your gastroenterologist and discuss other treatment options like liver transplant.

Hi. So I have this tingling sensation right next/under my glans clit. It s not that itchy...and when I tried to pulled the tip back a little to see what was going I noticed a little tiny bump n it hurts to the touch a little or make the tingling sensation worse. I had chlamydia a few weeks ago n got treated with antibiotics so i don t know if it s a yeast infection or what?
|
Ello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms suggests me that you are having a fungal infection, but it should be confirmed by physical examination. Don't be embarrassed to show and confirm the diagnosis. The fungus is the normal commensalism of this area which will be kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is a change in environment because of multiple reason this fungus will multiply and produces the symptoms. I would suggest you to follow1. Keep the area Chat Doctor. 2. Topical antifungal cream should be applied.3. Tab Rifleman, 150 mg single dose will help to control the symptoms.4. For itching, you can take anti histamines. Thank you.

hi i`m 36 yrs, married since 2yrs, i had 2 miscarriege, and a tried clomid 100 for two cycle with no response, now my dr gave me femara on cd 5for 5 days , the i did vaginal u/s , it was only one follie 8mm, then he gave me menogon one amp daily for three days, when i checked again, there was two follies 11 and 12mm, so i continued on 2 amp of menogon daily for the next 3 days and tomorrow my appointment to check the size,, he advised me to do IUI, but i refused since the success rate is only 20% and with intercourse is 15%, am i right????????
|
Hi I think you can go for timed intercourse for conceiving for 3 to 6 cycles. If it doesn't work, then you can go for GUI. If semen analysis is normal and there is no capital problem, proceed with timed intercourse first. Hope it helps.

Hello Doctor, so 2 days ago, I got a circumcision (im 21 years old), and now everything seems fine, ive removed my dressing, but the only problem is that my glans are super sensitive and thus i cannot even wear boxers as it is sensitive when it hits it, and it is really uncorfmatable when walking. Do you recommend anything for this problem? Thank you so much! and I will forever be grateful
|
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone circumcision 2 days ago and have noticed that glans of your penis is highly sensitive. Your glans was covered with foreskin till the time you got circumcised. This foreskin prevents glans from sensation of touch with cloths or atmosphere. This protection is lost after removing the foreskin making it sensitive. Do not worry this is common for few days (2-3 weeks)with everybody who gets circumcised. The glans of penis will get accustomed gradually so that you will not have this high sensitive glans afterwards. Chat Doctor.

Hi, my 3 year old bit his lower inside lip. It stopped bleeding, but now appears to have a clot in the hole where he bit it. He is eating ice cream and Popsicles with no pain. Do I need to be concerned with the clot that looks to be filling in the hole where he bit the lip?
|
Hither is nothing to be bothered about the clot. Clot is defines mechanism to prevent bleeding: Do not attempt to remove the clot as it may provoke bleeding. Continue giving him cold food which will decrease the chance of rebreeding. Take Care Best Regards Chat Doctor.

Dear many a time when a renal calculus is dislodged from its site of impaction it causes some bleeding and occasionally pain is also increased and urination may also cause strain till stone is expelled out with the flow of urine. The medicine you are having appears to have been working and expelling the stone out. Wait and watch for some time.

my head is hurting so bad i vomit and there is a dot in my eyes or even sometimes there different shapes it hurts so bad i cant open my eyes to the point were i feel like i have bleeding on the brain i have been to the doctors but they just say its migranes but it feels like something else help me
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms are typical of migraines with visual area. So, I agree with your doctor on the diagnosis. I would just recommend performing a brain MRI study to exclude other possible causes of migraine headaches. As your headaches are really severe, I would recommend starting preventive therapy, in order to reduce the severity and frequency of migraine attacks. I would suggest trying topiramate or verapamil for this reason. Other treatment options would be antidepressants, Valerie acid, etc. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

I went to the dentist yesterday and they told me I had an infection in my tooth, i was prescribed amnioxcillin and tylenol 3 its been one day, the pain hasnt gone away yet. My dentist said its the infection thats causing the pain. and i should feel results within 48 hours. Is this correct?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if you have infection in the tooth with pain there is a possibility that there is dental abscess formation and although medications can help in resolution of infection and relieve pain, but it is not permanent solution. Yes, you may see improvement in 48 hours, but a Rue time slot cannot be given and everything will depend on the exact condition of the tooth and treatment of the tooth will finally resolve the problem. I would suggest you to consult your dentist back or an Endodontist and get evaluated and an x-ray of the tooth will be advised to you. In case of deeper decay root canal treatment of tooth can help. In case if tooth is not in a condition to be saved extraction is advisable. You can also ask me a direct question by going to my profile and clicking on ask me a question and there you can upload the scans of the x-rays so that I can guide you appropriately after evaluation of the x-ray and asking further details. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

Adenoids to be ruled out in such a child by doing X-ray hypopharynx and ENT surgeon consultation is a consider action.

I have had been coughing several times a day for two weeks. Ten days ago I vomitted every two hours for 10 hours and had diarrhea. I felt very weak for three days and then I flew to Hawaii. While there, I was coughing the same amount. My voice is very hoarse but I don t have any pain in my throat. It is just raw from coughing so much. Three days ago, I had intense and uncontrollable chills for three hours, which then turned I to a fever. I took Ibuprofen and it helped. Yesterday when I was flying back from Hawaii, I felt nauseous for the whole flight and then vomitted after we landed. Today I have eaten a little. Ore than I have been. I don t have chills and I don t feel nauseous. I am continuously coughing still.
|
Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query! You need to take few tests to establish the cause of fever. It could be acute bacterial infection or tubercular in nature. Get your throat assessed first by ENT specialist it could just be allergy. Coughing is causing vomiting. Diarrhea could be due to infection. Take a course of antibiotic to see if symptoms resolve.If it does not improve get X-ray and sputum culture/sensitivity for bacterial/tubercular infection. You might require CENT scan test to see for lymph nodes. Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query. Take care!

I have had some discomfort the last few days with pain in the middle of my chest feels as though something is stuck and makes me keep burping I sometimes bring clear flem up when it get that bad it makes me feel sick and gag it seems to be getting worse and constant
|
Hello, The possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more likely. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of it, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause chest discomfort, burping, aging, something stuck in the center of the chest etcetera. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in HERD. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.2. Avoid large meals, instead, take frequent small meals.3. Take pantoprazole and levosulpiride combination on empty stomach twice daily. 4. Go for walking after meals.5. Keep 2-3 pillows under the head in bed.6. Lose weight if you are obese. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in HERD. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.2. Avoid large meals, instead, take frequent small meals.3. Take pantoprazole and levosulpiride combination on empty stomach twice daily. 4. Go for walking after meals.5. Keep 2-3 pillows under the head in bed.6. Lose weight if you are obese. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, My name is Phyllis, and I am currently trying to decide on weather or not to have gastric surgery because I m over weight. I m very nervous because I have High Blood pressure and just became a diabetic. Are there any oral medications I can take instead of going through with the surgery that will help me lose the weight that are not harmful to my liver and addictive?
|
Hi, I understand your concern and would agree with you on the fact that this procedure can lead to a lot of adverse effects, considering your past medical history. For this reason, I would recommend taking Garcia Cambodia for a period of three months, and make some modifications to your lifestyle (consulting with a dietitian and performing a lot of physical activity). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi doctor, hope you can help me with this. Yesterday morning (about 28 hours ago), I woke up with a morning erection, then decided to masturbate, even though my bladder must have been quite full, or at least half full. I usually masturbate after I have been to the toilet. The masturbation was quite short lasting, lying on my back, quite gentle masturbation, not rough, but at the ejaculation point, it didn t feel very good, a little painful during, which I haven t experienced before. I think it must have been related to the bladder not being emptied first. A few minutes later, I possibly made a second mistake, by urinating. It did seem like the urethrea was not ready for urine yet, took a while to succeed. Is it advised to wait a while before one urinates? Then during the day and night I have felt rather uncomfortable, mostly during the night, some pain/discomfort, which feels like it is located at the point where I usually feel if I need to urinate or not. Is this bladder pain? It helps a bit to urinate though. Could I have had some urine in the urethrea accidentally mixed together with the sperm during ejaculation? And is this harmful? I also wanna mention that the night before this I ate two oranges and quite much chocolate, which could make the urine more acid and harmful? I have not had sex for a long time, and never unprotected, so STD is out of the question. Now I am taking some ibuprofen and also some cranberry capsules. Not sure if I should see a doctor yet, since this is so fresh. I have a tendency to see doctor too often and worry about health matters. Could you please shed light to what might have happened? Does it sound like a temporary problem? Or will I next time also feel discomfort during ejaculation? I haven t tried masturbating again, since I think I should rest the system for some days.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Because worrying can increase the problem dimension. As far as I can see, you do not have to go to any doctor because you donor have any problem at all. Masturbation with even full bladder is not harm full, but there will be discomfort. Semen mixed with urine is normal and happens almost every time. Nothing wrong. Had oranges a chocolate. Nice. You should do that. But it has no effect on your semen or urine. I can see your problem. You are overly worried about your health, as you mentioned here. You should be careful about your health. Not worrying or anxious. You should do with a cognitive Behavioral therapy and sex therapy which I can provide you only if you come to me with a premium question. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Dear Sir, Mr. Rishav Srivastava 17 Years old boy is suffering from Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma Cancer in left hand wrist. As it is 1.5 years old so metastatically sprayeded in Lungs. As per mention Chemotherapy details Doxorubicin drug is given in three cycles but after evaluation by CT scan of Thorax, it has found it does not removed Nodules and Tinny nodules from Thorax (Left/Right Lungs) nor effect on primary place. So, Lungs/Thorax Doctor has denied for lungs surgery due to none effect of Chemotherapy. Present Treatment: 1. Now Chemotherapy Doctor has recommended for Interferon Alpha 2b 5mu for alternate day up to Two months and 2. At primary place (Wrist of right hand) radiation is going on. Requirement: Any treatment beyond this which will affect to remove Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma Cancer from Lungs. Hope for your kind evaluation and suggestions please. Regards Rajeev Kumar Srivastava 0000

Hi. Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a very rare cancer and there is limited experience because of very few patients worldwide. Since the disease of Mr. Mishap Srivastava is metastatic, cure is probably not possible. If I am treating him, I will advise uniting tablet. Radiotherapy to primary is indicated if there is pain or bleeding at primary sit not controlled by conservative measures. I do not know of any evidence of benefit of Interferon Alpha in this disease. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

Yes, I was diagnosed with having a kidney stone, after 3 days I stopped checking to see if I passed it or not, I don t really think so, but the pain went away, now I feel like the urge to push, like a different sensation in the genital area, I kinda think bladder. Could I still have the kidney stone after 2 weeks? I did go to my dr. a week after I had this and there was not infection, could I possible have a bladder infection now? It kind of feels that way. thank you
|
Hello Thanks for query. You had been detected to have stone in the kidney causing pain in loin. Now you have pain and discomfort in lower abdomen in bladder area. This could be due to 1) The stone which was earlier detected to be in kidney has passed down through ureter in to bladder resulting into pain inn loin to go away and cause discomfort in bladder. Get your routine urine test and culture done to rule out infection. Taking appropriate antibiotic with Chat Doctor.

My left testicular hurts normally after i have been siting down for long periods of time, and sometimes my right one hurts as well. I have a lump just above my penis on the right side and it hurts nearly all the time. My doctors gave me Antibiotics too see if there is an infection there but could you diagnose my condition please? Daniel
|
Hello, It's not possible for me to comment on your lump if It's infectious or not without looking at it. However, your doctor did the right thing to give a trial of antibiotics beforehand. Testicular pain might be due to excess pressure over testis while sitting. It can be relieved by wearing loose fitted clothes and underwear. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I work as a route salesman in a truck, so I m pretty active for twelve hours a day running my route getting out from my truck to and from houses. For the last three saturdays I ve gone fishing and had to stand for a couple of hours, well during moving back and forth I have had sharp and knifelike pains in my thighs and have had to stop moving. When I would move again the pain would begin again. It s been very hot on two of these Saturdays, but one Saturday was nice in temperature. Any ideas?
|
It might be very much possible that you suffered from deny Chat Doctor. It might be an electrolyte disbalance which would have lead to the pain, usually a hypokalemia (low potassium). However, to rule out something else, may I know whether the pain occurs even at other times and whether it radiates or is relieved by rest???

I was diagnosed with polymyagia rheumatica in July, 2014 because I only have one kidney I have chosen so far not to use prednesone. I am very stiff/sore in morinings and usally after motrin and several stretching excercises I am okay from 11 to 4 and after sitting in afternoon I am stiff and sore when I get up. The highest my C-reactive protein has been is 16 and sed rate 39. that was July 23. Aug. 25 CRP was14 and sed rate31 Dec 9 crp was 3 and sed rate was 9. I am baffled as I still have same amount of pain. Is it possible I do not have PMR and if not any ideas of what it could be? I began and anti-imflammatory diet on Dec.4 but could that have affected the blood results? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Linda Adkins
|
These levels of CRP and ESR actually don't correlate with polymyalgia rheumatic. Generally the values of ESR are much higher. So it maybe fibromyalgia, or it may be rheumatoid arthritis, it is difficult to tell. The best person to consult would be a rheumatologist for this problem.

When doing light work outside get very light headed (dizzy) and slight shortness of breath. Stop and sit down for several minutes problem seams to go away. Blood pressure checks out good but pulse goes up to about 119 which usually checks around 82 any other time. What can possibly be causing this issue? I am a male , 68 years old.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Shortness of breath on minimal exertion, dizziness, rapid heart rate in old age (age more than 60 years) are suggestive of cardiac disease more. Possibility of congestive cardiac failure or coronary artery disease is more. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo. If something is wrong in these tests than you may need coronary Angiography to rule out coronary artery disease. So don't wait at home, first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

my dad has kidney cancer, he had the kidney removed in Jan and it has now spread to his liver, colon. He has just received treatment for the spine, it has spread through is spine upto the nape of his neck. His feet have become really swelled. Is this due to the liver cancer? How much time do we have left with him.
|
Kidney cancer can spread to all these sites and cause these symptoms. It is difficult to give exact survival timeframe, but survival is poor in such stage, from few weeks up to 6 months.

I just woke up now, It s 7pm. It was a bit of an offsleep, but when i woke up i felt really weak, shaky, almost lighter. I m still shaking now. I tried just waking up a bit, Drinking some water and milk, Went to the bathroom. But i still fell weak shaky and light,

Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms you have had may be related to a Chat Doctor. You should measure your blood pressure in sitting position and then in standing up position. A decrease more than 20 mm Hg in your blood pressure would be indicative of orthostatic hypotension. Low blood pressure can cause similar symptoms. I would also recommend a full blood work for anemia, a thyroid function test to rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!

I m 8 months pregnant (my 2nd child), and noticed some dark spots on the inside of my labia majora. I felt it at first while washing. I squeezed/rolled it between my fingers because I get painless bumps at times down there that are just pores blocked with oil and skin cells. It didn t pop , bled, and is sore. I had my husband look, and there are 3 on my right and one on the left side--just the one I tried to pop is sore and raised. They look like blood blisters.

Hello, and I hope I can help you today. There are many kinds of moles and spots that can appear during pregnancy on all areas of the body. The vagina and vulva are frequent sites of these lesions because of hormonal changes. If the small spots that you see on the inside of your labia are bluish or red, these are called hematomas. They are small growths of the blood vessels under your skin; if they are growth of capillaries, they will be bright red (called cherry spots) and if they are venous the spots will appear blue dark purple or black. They're filled with a small amount of blood to if you pop them they will bleed. The one you already popped may be a little infected, so try to leave it alone and keep the area clean, so it may heal. So in the meantime, try not to touch or traumatize them, and as the baby gets larger more may appear. They are simply cosmetic and will cause you no harm or harm to the baby. These types of lesions go away completely once the baby is born and your hormone levels return to normal. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,

I have had a fleshy lump above my collarbone for four weeks, the dr sent me for a carotid doplar test and a echo cardio gram. They were clear. Now the dr is just watching it. I m to call him if it gets any larger. There is no pain. I do have a deep cough occasionally.

Painless lump in collarbone area and around neck may have variable things. It can be confirmed by examination. You may need FNAC(fine needle aspiration cytology) for confirmation. And may need surgical excision. Thank u.

Im a 19 year old female. Yesterday a hot red bump the size of a nickel formed on my knee that only hurt if you touched it but I could feel its presence all day. This morning I woke up and it hurt to walk down the stairs or bend my knee at all. It doesnt itch like a staph infection would. I just hope it isnt too serious.
