I am a 50 year old male. I have what would appear to look like genital warts , but it does not itch , burn or appear redning. However I have noticed that when i have shave my pubic hair off, it would appear that i may have nick a wart as there patern lines up to overlap each other. Are genital warts transferable by razor blade when shaving and do they always burn, itch or have redness, because mine never do and 1 is dark brown like a mole or freckle?

Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. It appears from your description that you do have genital warts. Yes, genital warts can be transferred by razors. Usually they are asymptomatic i.e. they do not burn or itch and have no redness. They could be like mole or could be skin colored. Regards

I WAS ALREADY DIAGNOSSED WITH ACID REFLUX. I HAVE BEEN ON DEXILENT FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND I FEEL TOTALLY BETTER. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY LUNGS DONT FEEL HEALTHY. THEY FEEL HEAVY. WHEN I TAKE A DEEP BREATH OUT I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO COUGH. MY THROAT HURTS ME WHEN I TOUCH IT ON THE OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY TENDER. I WENT TO AN ENT AND HE SAID THAT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE, WHAT ELSE CAN BE WRONG WITH MY LUNGS THAT CAN GO WRONG. THANK YOU
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are acid reflux. Chronic acid reflux can cause bronchitis. Bronchitis can be the cause for Heaviness in lungs. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal then no need to worry about bronchitis or other lung disease. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Since the 20th of this month i started experincing Deep Pounding palipitations i finished my menses 3 days ago they are random at times i feel mild ache in my shoulders sometimes the left also seems aggravated by eating heavy meal exercised regularly...did have major stressors at work but those passed will be evalutated by cardilogist though primary doc thinks it anxiety ativan seems to help with palipitations but does it sound like a blockage issue ? Wore a holter monitor but dont know results also a littel anemic HGB 9 Thanks
|
Hello, Anemia with hemoglobin of 9 gm % can itself explain the palpitation and even the irregular menses this time. When the blood has less hemoglobin, the heart has to pump faster and stronger to pump the extra blogs to provide the required amount of oxygen to the body. The would pensive as palpitation particularly when you are lying down. Correction of anemia after confirming its cause should take care of your symptoms. As you haven't mentioned the age by considering you have active menses I think you are less than 45 years of age when heart disease in woman is less common. Lastly blockage per se doesn't cause palpitation commonly. Regards

Dear Baby, The symptoms can be attributed to inadequate HY Chat Doctor. Which help in blood formation & nerve conduction. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of cervicogenic agents as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & It D needs to be added in your diet. If you still find any difficulty, kindly get certain investigations like estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels, Thyroid profile & nerve conduction studies to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Hi Doctor, My report shows - liver is mildly enlarged in size with increased echogenicity. what does this meanalso my husbands reports shows calcification in right lobe of liver? Calcified Granulomaalso left renal cortical cystPlease advise if there is any issue and also the remedy for it
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It would be easier if you've posted the liver enzymes findings. It ma indicate alcoholic, viral, autoimmune or toxic liver damage. The most probable cause is is fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. If ultrasounds didn't find anything and viral markers are negative then you have no reason to be concerned. You should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated Chat Doctor. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some medicines can be prescribed, but I suggest going step by step. If you don't have any symptoms then this is just slight and reversible liver damage. Wish you good health.

hello doctor i am sujata .... before one year aprox i have a misscarriage and after that i had treated with medicine.. now i have consult a doctor to conceive, so my doctor advised me to take letsi tablet for 5 days countinue after the complition of menses.. and then i was given folic acid tablets and dupastan 10mg given to me on the 16th day for 12 day twice daily... so please suggest me about the results... ? and the right method of taking the medicine.. and please tell me that dupastan is used basically for conceiving . actually i want to get pregnent as soon as possible.......regrds & thanks
|
Hi Sujatha, How are you doing ? I understand you concern. If you have conceived once then you will conceive for sure again.(No matter what the end result of the pregnancy was)(Miscarriages are just like an accident, any lady can have it, but you have 97% chances of having a normal pregnancy). Now about the medication1. Tab. Letsi is a hormone pill which suppresses the body from producing its own hormones, thus there is a sudden surge of follicles. So more follicles/ eggs means more chance of sperms meeting the egg. So pregnancy chances increase2. Tab Duphastone, is Progesterone hormone which prepares the uterine inner lining for the possible baby & give a good attachment to the uterus, preventing any bleeding & early abortion May I advise you, Now you are blindly trying for the pregnancy, what if there is an undetected in Chat Doctor.

Hello, my baby is 6 months old. About a month ago I saw a white grain like bump underneath his skin on the penis. I went to the doctor but he said just to observe it. At first it was about 2 mm big but now has gone bigger and another one has come up. What can that be???
|
Hi dear, I understand your concern, you should be worried, but not too much. It is natural process, Sega is concentrated underneath skin of penis, when glans of penis will open, it will come out. When you wash baby, then try to open glans slowly and gradually every day. Wishing your baby good health

Hi, I used to masturbate daily once. sometimes twice...from 2 years. Recently (1 month back) I found that my left leg back of upper thigh portion is paining a lot. I am unable to walk properly. Especially morning, when I wake up it pains me a lot. I cant put a step to move further after i got up. My right leg is fine. Only problem is with the left leg. And I cant jump, run, cant do anything,.. only I need to walk slowly. if I feel the pain then I will stop and again i will start slowly. pain is always there in my left leg, based on my leg movement it comes suddenly don t know exactly when. Its really bad pain. I couldn t bare this pain. I stopped masturbating slowly. But pain is still there. I don t know if the pain is because of excessive masturbation or not?. Specially morning, it pains so much when I got up from the bed.. Please help me, what I should do to come out of this pain permanently. Why this has come to me recently. what is the cause? What is the medicine to use? I didnt consult any doctor yet. Do I need to take any medicine or shud I consult any doctor? Also, I didnt take any medicines. I am applying pain balm. Please respond to my query & help me.

Hello, As when you do masturbation there will be an isometric contraction of the muscles of the abdominal region, pelvic floor, thigh muscles and leg as well. Due to which there will be fatigue to set in, and muscles become over tiring and weak. Avoiding too much masturbation or in fact avoiding it for time being will be a good choice. Do simple exercises like walking or aerobics with low intensity and regain muscle strength and bulk back. This is one of the commonest reason that after undergoing sex most people feel tired as maximum energy is being utilized. The best way is to have a good diet, water, and avoid masturbation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have pain in left side lower back since yesterday morning when i got up, i am not able to bend and also having pain in certain movements. In some positions i feel no pain. I want to know could it be a kidney pain? i am feeling little burning in urine also.
|
As mentioned in your narrative I think you are a young adult, and you have got rid with just a muscle spasm nothing else. For this you have to take some painkiller with muscle relaxant like tab danger or tab osteopath twice daily after meals when your back pain is worse enough to disturb your routine work along with tab shall 500 mg once daily after meals with tab rant ac or tab carotid twice daily before taking meals. You can also use holdup gel or powergesic-plus gel for local application as it is quite helpful in relieving your back pain and muscle spasm.

Hi Doctor, I am 22 years old (Unmarried) . My Tbigm is 2.25 it comes out positive. I am regularly suffering with the pain at the right bottom side of stomach. My periods are also not regular, Last was on January 2012. Doctor said that it is infection and you will have to continue treatment for 6 month bt they didnt specify the reason why this infection happened to me. Still with the regularity of medicines i am suffering with the pain.Please specify me the reason of this infection and its effects.Thank you

Hi. Tuberculosis of the abdomen is caused by specific bacteria and goes to intestine by either an oral route or blood stream. The best way to diagnose the pain in your case would be to undergo CT scan of the abdomen after a proper preparation. Also, good is the investigation called Enterocytes if CT indicates an obstructing lesion yet can not specify. You may need a surgery for removing the cause of pain.

I have been under 2 IVF (6 embryo transfer) cycles that were all not successful - I have visit a new IVF center and again 2IVF (2 embryo transfer) cycles that were all not successful. After that doctor has sugeested for Era report before going for next ivf. That Report is normal as per doctor it is p+5. I have visited doctor at second day of my period and he has done a scan on my whom and ovaries. And suggested to visit again at 12th day of my period for checkup and he said that tranfer will be on 15th-16th day of period. i would like to know that in this case what is meaning of ERA because earlier in 2 cycle they have transfered on 15th or 16th day so what is meaning of ERA. And i want to know that what should be the uterus size before transfer and miprogen or progaynova is useful to increase size of uterus please answer as soon as possible

Hello there, Thanks for writing in. I learned from your writing that you have so far undergone 4 IVF cycles which were unsuccessful. Let me help you understand in this scenario the meaning of implantation failure. When pregnancy test comes negative in two or more IVF cycles where 6 or more reasonably good quality embryos are transferred then it is assumed to be implantation failure which means the embryo has failed to get buried in the soil(which is endometrium). When the embryo is transferred, the endometrium needs to receive it with the help of finger like microscopic structures to help it get buried. And the endometrium can do it only within a very short time frame, usually 6 to 7 days post ovulation. Sometimes this timeframe within which it can receive seems to be shifted either early in the cycle or later. By doing an ERA(Endometrium receptivity array) test we are able to predict this timeframe much precisely so that the embryo transfer can be timed accordingly. 2. The size of the uterus doesn't matter for pregnancy unless its tiny. 3. Progynova is not being used for increasing the size of uterus. Hope your question is satisfactorily answered. Good luck.

My daughter is suffering from cough. She will be normal and once she starts to cough it continuesfor half an hour. I have consulted many Doctors and they advice cough medicines and this is contined from past 1 year. I am looking for a permanent solution . I require expert guidance regarding this .Please advice and do the needful.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your daughter is having chronic cough. So we should definitely rule out chronic lung infections (tuberculosis or fungal infection), asthma and bronchitis. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma and bronchitis. She may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) depending on the reports.Don't worry, she will be alright. First diagnose and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.

Hi, From history it seems that you might be having acute gastrointestinal infection giving you this problem. As other tests are negative nothing to worry. Go for one antibiotic medicine with tinidazole combination tablet after consulting your Oust. Take antispasmodic tablet as and when required. Take light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk and electrolytes. Ok and take care.

Hi, My husband is 28 years old and has been feeling a slight fluttering underneath his scrotum before his perineal area. It has been going on for 2 weeks now. He works as mechanic and no strenuous heavy lifting once in a great while. He feels that his scrotum is a bit cold at times, and lifts weights everyday for 30 minutes. It has not happened before. Is this something that we should be concerned about?
|
Hi! I do not think that there is anything much of concern about the symptoms of your husband. This may be a hyperactivity of the muscles of the scrotum. He does not have any pain, or redness, and so we can exclude any infective pathology. However, he should use proper scrotal support garments whenever he lifts weights and does any kind of strenuous work. A proper re assurance will help him. If the symptoms persist or increases with any other problem, he should consult the family physician for a routine check up. Hope this helps your husband.

Hi, Recently, I ve had dry and red cheeks. It started when I went on vacation in relatively hot weather where I would be in the sun a lot. Every time I d use my regular cleanser my cheeks would sting and burn. Before that they d get dry no matter how many times I dranj water or how early I went to bed. It stopped after a while and I thought it d go away. However, recently I ve been outside daily under the sun for long periods of time and my cheeks are back to being dry, red, a little flaky, and stingy (when I put my cleanser on). I have a theory that I might have sensitive skin, but I m not totally sure. My skin was never like this before. It just recently started this past month. Do I have exema or some kind of infection? If so, what can I do to treat it or at least ease the pain? Please help! Sincerely, Rain
|
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. The red flaky skin over your face seems to be due to sunburns. Acute sun burns are sometimes frightening but nothing to worry as It's pretty easy to manage. Generally, I advise short course of prednisolone along with local application of mometasone cream and soothing calamine lotion twice a day. Apply good moisturizer like Detail every time before going to bed. Antihistaminics and antioxidant tablets can additionally be added. Use high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen every time before going out in sun. Cold sponging will definitely help. Hope this will take care of your issue. Wish you best of health. Thank you Chat Doctor.

hello my name is siritha I came to banglore in august 2008first day only i effected with cough and heavy breath and sounds while breathing and from that year evry winter and rainy iam suffering with breathing some,i use inhallers some doctor said that this pollan allargy i want meet the allergy doctor in the blore city,kindly suggest me the best treatment, i more thing if go to my home town(AP),hyderabad gradually redusing this problem and not getting breathing problem while I am roming the rain also. acording to my abservation Iam getting this problem when i stay banglore in winter and rainys,please give me the solution.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your description, possibility of allergy is more likely. So along with inhaler, you should take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night before going to bed. This combination will be more beneficial in your case. No harm with long term use as both these Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I had mantel cell lymphoma and underwent chemo then a stem cell transplant using my own harvested stem cells. Mantel cell lymphoma.phones remains in remission, but I was diagnosed with cirrhosis and my liver is still functioning, but I have no energy to do even small tasks. My penis has shrunken flat with my body like a button a d does not stick out causing me to be unable to control the way the urine sprays when I use the bathroom. I am 69. Can anything correct this? My oncologist, my digestive specialist, and my primary doctor are not gel ppl ing or won t tell me. A urologist said I gained weight and the fat belly made it draw in.
|
Hi. With clear diagnosis and procedures done and complication post cirrhosis of liver indicate that nothing much can be done as far as modern science is concerned. Moreover, the cirrhotic condition is irreversible. Support of steroids etc. must have been planned by your able doctors. If I were your doctor I would have advised you get the help of traditionally (Ayurveda) used decoction of herbs which controls the progress of cirrhosis. Even cures in initial stages. But since It's too late and also your age factor, you cannot expect miracles in Ayurveda or Allopatry. But one thing is clear that if you take this decoction and some other simple medicines, you will certainly see improvement in signs and symptoms and appetite and other things. Whatever time you live, you will feel better day by day. This is pathway quoth prepared by about 7 herbs but not commonly available. However, raw herbs freely available. Since profit is not much in it, companies do not take interest in marketing it. No need to be apprehensive. This is safe with no bad effects. Even best of medical science today will not guarantee full cure. I do not know where you live otherwise may give some hints where you can try to find these. Its better you consult some Ayurveda doctor of experience in your area. Hope this helps you.

I am 34 yrs old,52,118 lbs,2 kids ages 7 and 12.My last period was on 8/22/11(previous period on 7/22/11) 3 or 4 days late,which was unusual.It was also lighter with minimal cramping.I have been feeling some pregnancy symptoms like nausea,sore sensitive breasts with burning sensations on the sides,twinges in abdomen here and there.Last night when I layed down to go to bed,I suddenly started cramping in the lower right abdomen,moving to the middle,briefly on the left,some centralized back pain.The pain was mostly in the lower right abdomen and it lasted for about 2 hours,it felt like my period was coming again.I decided to go to the ER today to see why I had the pain last night.With my first pregnancy,I did not find out until 12 wks and with my second at 8 wks because I still have what seems to be a period.I told the doctor about this,along with my symptoms.She ordered a pregnancy test,she checked me out vaginally,and ordered an ultrasound.During the vaginal examination,she said the side where I was not complaining of pain was a little swollen,possibly an ovarian cyst.After the ultrasound,she said I was not pregnant,but had fibroids and Im severely anemic,almost needing a blood transfusion.Im wondering if I could still be pregnant and if being anemic or having fibroids could make the pregnancy undetectable at this time.Physically,I do feel pregnant,but not mentally because Im confused about whats really going on.If you have any possible answers,I would feel so much better.

Hi Chat Doctor user, please get a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy or other option is got blood test called serum BChatDoctor to confirm pregnancy. If report is negative then definitely cyst and fibroid is cause for continuous bleeding .you need to see location of fibroid and treat it before planning for baby.

My 29 year old son fell off a lorry and strained is calf muscle yesterday.. It swelled instantly and was very painful . He did go to A&E they said it was pulled muscles... Today i have notice the leg that is swollen leg is very cold from knee down its still very painful is the coldness normal

Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee and leg muscle spasm. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. If pain persist then you may need to do MRI to see for any functional defect. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair, and same day you can go home. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

Hello there, Im 23 years old and have a 3 year old, me and my partner have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years now, i miscarried about 6 months ago. Since then i have been testing whenever i feel like i could be pregnant again, i had 10 home strip tests and over a period of 3 weeks or so i have been using them every other day because i have been getting pregnancy symptoms, but all 9 came back negetive. I did my last one yesterday and that was posistive. Im tired all the time and im very very late on my period. all the signs are pointing to me being pregnant, but im worried because of losing the baby before. The result line was faint but absolutly there and clear. Im going to go doctors ASAP but id like to know what the possibiltys are of pregnancy and if what im feeling in my body is real. I have sore breasts, bloated uncomftable stomache, missed period, and i can barely keep my eyes open by around 6 in the evening. help!

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. The symptoms that you have portrayed definitely do point towards pregnancy. Single episode of miscarriage does carry a slightly higher chance of miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies, but this risk is negligible and usually ignored in practice. My opinion is that there is minimal risk to your baby. Visit your gynecologist to confirm that you are pregnant. I would like to have few more details like-the date of the first day of your last menstrual period and after how many months of pregnancy did you undergo the miscarriage 6 months back etc. to give you a more specific answer to your question regarding the risk to your current pregnancy. Hope I have answered you question to your satisfaction. Please do get back if you need any clarification of this answer or any more queries that you have.

Hi. This can be just be a small lymph node or a boil. Nothing much to worry about if the size remains same and there is no redness. Till you see a Doctor, take ibuprofen 400 mg three time a day after food.

My chest hurts and has been hurting all night. I was in the Emergency Room last night for a sore throat and he said it was just a throat infection but the nurse said my BP was 138/90. I have never had high BP before. I just dont feel right. I am a 37 year old female, very healthy.
|
Respected user, Warm welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* Throat infection can cause chest pain due to - severe coughing stretching chest muscles - associated viral or bacterial infection of the lungs - others.* Regarding BP reading, It's absolutely fine for 37 years age. Hope this will help you for sure. Regards.

Years after having a really bad tear while giving birth, Ive notice a foul and embassing odor coming from a small hole near my anus. It smells when i bare down to urinate. It will start to smell right after I bathe. I have been on all kinds of antibiotics, Cipro. They work while on them but a few days later the smell returns. Went to the Dr. and he says the hole doesnt led to anything. So. why does it smell so bad? Help Please.
|
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. What problems you could be facing is infection of fistula-in-ano, on and off and that is why you are experiencing this bad odor, which would subside with intake of antibiotics. You need to consult Surgeon in this regard and undergo fistulectomy operation for its permanent cure. Kindly do to overcome the same at the earliest. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.

It starts with a painless explosion (for lack of a better word) in my solar plexus, with a hot rush going up the back of my neck and head to my forehead. I sweat, get dizzy and don t think straight. A few times I have passed out, but only for a few seconds. Then I get up feeling as if nothing happened. More often (and this could be panic from the sensation) I feel like I cannot breath, though I know I can, and my heart pounds so hard I can see my shirt moving with the beat. If I lay down it feels like my whole body is pulsating. There is NO pain involved. I have been to a heart specialist a few times and apparently my heart is fine. These bouts can last a few minutes to a few hours. What do you make of this?

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: It starts with a painless explosion (for lack of a better word) in my solar plexus, with a hot rush going up the back of my neck and head to my forehead. I sweat, get dizzy and don t think straight. A few times I have passed out, but only for a few seconds. Then I get up feeling as if nothing happened. More often (and this could be panic from the sensation) I feel like I cannot breath, though I know I can, and my heart pounds so hard I can see my shirt moving with the beat. If I lay down it feels like my whole body is pulsating. There is NO pain involved. I have been to a heart specialist a few times and apparently my heart is fine. These bouts can last a few minutes to a few hours. What do you make of this?
### Answer: U must be having a type of arrhythmia - SVT. Go to the hospital during the period of this palpitation and get an ECG done. Get back after the ECG report. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have a sharp pain across my upper abdomen just below my ribcage and across my breasts. The pain radiates through to my back to both shoulder blades. It is slightly worse on the left side. It is tender on the left side of my upper abdomen just below my rib cage. I have been experiencing pain across my abdomen off and on for some months. In February I had very itchy skin - scalp , ears, arms legs and sides of torso but no rash . My stools were paler in colour. I find that alcohol can trigger pain. Sometimes when the pain is severe I feel sick. The pain varies and is not constant.

Hello! Thank you for the query. Most likely you do suffer from gallstones which do migrate to the bile ducts and give its obstruction. Obstruction causes jaundice (symptoms of jaundice are itchy skin, pale stools, dark urine, yellowish skin). Alcohol can trigger your symptoms indeed. Moreover, it can happen that some stone will obstruct pancreas duct and will lead to acute pancreatitis. That is why I suggest you to do not wait anymore. You should visit your doctor, have blood work, liver tests (AST, ALT,GTP, AP), amylase, lipase, urine amylase and abdominal ultrasound. If stones are present, surgery should be performed which should permanently solve your problems. In a meanwhile you should avoid fatty foods, fried foods, spicy foods and alcohol. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorLaser hair reduction (LHR) is a very safe and reliable way for hair reduction. Apart from mild redness after the sitting which usually resolves in 1-2 hours, there are really no side effects at all, if done by a well-trained/experienced expert. Normally 6-8 sittings will give you a good hair reduction. The hair will become finer, the density will decrease and thereby greatly reduced. It is the FDA approved for hair reduction and gives long-lasting results. Creams containing ingredients like efflornithine HY Chat Doctor. They only slow the hair growth rate. Regards

Respected Doctor.My husband is 50 years ,5.8 hight and 80 kg weight. having type 2 diabetes and obesity ,sleep apnea.he don t do physical activity ,no diet control.He is taking azulix 1 tablets daily 2 for 10 days in a month.remaining 20 days he doesn t take any care..will he out of danger?

Hi, If patient has diabetes and is also overweight, like your husband (BMI26.81 kg/M2), then it is absolutely necessary to control blood glucose within the prescribed limit like fasting closer to 100 mg, Pp 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c%. To control sleep apnea, weight reduction is a must. Lifestyle changes that help reduction of weight will help in reducing sleep apnea. Particularly weight reduction. That means patient has to follow a strict dietary restriction, taking calories based on his ideal body weight (72 kg X 25 call = 1800 calories/d), avoiding alcohol completely and exercising for at least 1 hour a day. These changes will help in reducing body weight. Plus there are devices like CPAP, which can be used to prevent sleep apnea. But taking specific medication, controlling blood glucose, following dietary restrictions, adapting changed lifestyle and regular exercise is the only way to overcome the present situation. If he is unwilling to follow these necessary adaptations then it is difficult. Thanks,

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here.Dear Doctor,I am a kidney transplant patient for over 12 years. I am 53. Can I get Botox injections to smooth wrinkles on my face? I take daily Prograf 0,5mg x 2, Prednizone 0,5 and CellCept 0,25mg x 2.

Yes you can take it. It is not harmful. They will give it directly to the muscle that is responsible for wrinkles. It won't reach any other organ in the body. You can go for it safely. All the best.

I am 36 year old mother of 3 boys. When I had my 3rd boy in 2009, 2 weeks after birth I had High Blood Pressure. Ive been struggling with it ever since and I am on Propranolol 80mg for almost 4 months. Its been doing ok, but my BP still spikes and Ive noticed it gets really high 1 week before my period. What can i do?
|
Hello, You should ask you to change the BP medicine from Propranolol to other class like ARB like Telmisartan or ace inhibitor like April or calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine. Your current medicine is not effective for BP. Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Sir /MadamMy Sister(Age-25) is suffering from disease like ASTHEMA(but not exactly ASTHEMA because we have done all test for ASTHEMA in our local hospital butt all test are negative). Now my quary is that in which department i have to consult.sumanta
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. She will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). She may also need oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night.Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for your query. Growth / lumps on the iris, on the edge of the eyes in a girl of 2-year-old has to be worried about, as this is the rarest to occur. First you have to Consult a Pediatric surgeon as well as the Ophthalmologist to see what the diagnosis is, whether this is related to the local growth or some sort of tumor to be worried about, If needed go for excision and biopsy to get a confirmed diagnosis to get the most proper treatment.

I had my gallbladder out about a year and a half ago and since then I Still suffer with nasty reflux, about three days ago I got really bloated and my reflux kicked in again , then my chest in betweenbreasts hurts everytime I eat or drink anything do you have any idea what is going on?

Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. You may be familiar with the common mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux disease (HERD) ; however I will briefly explain:Food enters in to stomach from esophagus via lower esophageal sphincter (LES). If LES fails to close/contract effectively food content from stomach may reflux into the esophagus leading to HERD. Certain food may lead to relaxation of LES and/or increase gastric acid production. 1. Chocolate 2. Caffeine. 3 Alcohol. 4. Fatty meal. 5. Citrus fruit and tomato you have a history of HERD that has been treated successfully, then advise is:1. Avoid chocolates; carbonated Chat Doctor. Avoid tomato juice, decrease salt intake3. Minimum alcohol intake and try to quit smoking (if you're a smoker)4. Eat your dinner at least 2 to 3 hours before going to bed5. Raise your head by placing two pillows under your head before sleeping Hope to answer your concern Further questions are most welcomeRegards

i have a one year old he will not let me touch his mouth or teeth he has been teething and his teeth are getting bad , there yellowish at top of teeth and i noticed a little gray spot on his top teeth. and i think he chipped a tiny peice i dnt know what to do i tryed forcing him but his gums started to bleed i feel like i hurt him because he crys??? what should i do to fix it? what causes it? how can i get him to let me brush
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain or discomfort could be because of the erupting tooth, because while erupting the mucosa will be perforated by the tooth. During this pain will be there in the gums and teeth. This can be reduced by applying topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Since you are telling there is a chipped tooth, consult an oral physician and get it ruled out, if there is any history of trauma, then you should consult an oral physician. Regarding the color of the teeth, the yellowish color could be because of the deposits. Nothing to worry about it, maintain oral hygiene properly with the help of a gaze piece. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

### Answer: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain or discomfort could be because of the erupting tooth, because while erupting the mucosa will be perforated by the tooth. During this pain will be there in the gums and teeth. This can be reduced by applying topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Since you are telling there is a chipped tooth, consult an oral physician and get it ruled out, if there is any history of trauma, then you should consult an oral physician. Regarding the color of the teeth, the yellowish color could be because of the deposits. Nothing to worry about it, maintain oral hygiene properly with the help of a gaze piece. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Recently I have started having pain in my right knee. Today my knee, behind my knee, my thigh right above my knee and most of my lower leg has been constantly hurting all day. I took some Tylenol in the afternoon and a prescription anti inflammatory my dr prescribed last week, but it is not helping. This is something new, I have not had a problem with the before
|
Hi, You can try analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. Generally, the symptoms will settle in a couple of days. If symptoms persist despite taking analgesics, it is better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi I have never been shown or told that i should pull my foreskin down and now im 30 and cantI try and can only get it down a very small amount before its too tightIt seems that as i do it it starts to look like its pulling my glands in like a waist and it cant pull it back anymore
|
HelloRetraction of foreskin and replacing over glans is a prerequisite to have normal enjoyable sex. Based on your statement I would state that you have Mitosis however this can be confirmed only on clinical examination in person by a qualified General Surgeon or Urologist. If it is confirmed to be Mitosis you will need to get circumcised. This is a simple surgery done under local anesthesia as an out patient procedure and offers permanent cure and helps to have enjoyable sex for rest of the life. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have started taking Duphastan from past 3 months as prescribed by my doctor. However, just as I have started taking duphastan I have developed cough in my throat. I took anibiotics, predinisole, etc etc blood test bu nothing seems to work. My cough is still same. I cough out mucus. Is it because of duphastan? I noticed that when I take duphastan then my cough is worse. Please help me. I cannot take so many tablets all the time
|
It's very unlikely that phaeton will cause that. More info in regard to the cough is needed to attribute it to any cause.

For the last five days, my four year-old has had what seems like a bad head cold but with the addition of blood-shot eyes that have been oozing enough puss to glue his eyes shut each morning and complaining of a sore throat. Now he has woken up crying from pain in his ear unable to sleep. I started treating him with today with Tylenol cough and cold medicine today. Is this enough? I am concerned, it s 2 am and he has been crying for an hour from his discomfort. Should I take him to a doctor
|
Hi, From history it seems that he might be having acute upper respiratory tract infection with muco-purulant conjunctivitis. He might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days. Put antibiotic eye Chat Doctor. For pain and congestion give some analgesic, decongestant syrup. Ok and take care.

Hi. I went to an ENT for acid reflux, but a throat culture showed pseudomonas aeruginosa. I was told they tested several antibiotics on the culture, cipro being the only effective one. Im having trouble finding any information on this bacterium as it relates to the throat. Im on cipro, but wondering where this could have come from. Female nearing 40, usually in good health but flu-like symptoms for last two months. Thanks for any info.
|
Hello there, Pseudomonas aeroginosa is a different organism in the fact that it has the ability to form a biofilm. What it does is, attach to your throat then forms a slimy layer around itself which prevent the body from destroying it and then intermittently attack the throat epithelial layers. So you would have on and off fever along with a persistent sore throat over a period of time. Now that the doctors have established what it is sensitive to the antibiotic would take care of it. It is an organism present in the environment and occasionally infects us. So you do not have to worry whether you were singled out or you did something wrong. Thank you for your query. Chat Doctor.

Hi doctor I am having naturolax occasionally. But without reading the contents I gave it to my children aged 5-7 years of age as they were not getting motion nicely.My 7 year old after having that was shivering and sweating all night and was uneasy and she didn t sleep. Is anything serious plz advice.
|
Welcome to ChatDoctorNaturolax is Isabel i.e. a husk obtained from Psyllium plant. This has no side effects and is a remarkable medication for constipation. Since it has only fiber to add bulk to stools, and no associated Chat Doctor. Symptoms in your daughter seems to be due to some other reason. In my opinion it might be due to constipation per se if not relieved and if not associated with any other symptom. If symptoms still persist, do consult your physician. For further questions, do contact us.

Hi, If you are not pregnant (though in pregnancy, movement is felt after 3-4 months) then the other possibilities are bowel gases and worm infestation. So, deform yourself and eat healthy and balanced diet. Regards

Hi, I am 27 yrs, 5.7", 58 Kgs. I have big hair loss problem, Specially my face beard. I came across Tugain as effective drug for hair growth. Can you recommend me a medicine to stop hair loss, Unlike propecia I would want a medicine with no side effects.
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, hair fall in this age of 27 years in male is very less likely if you consider male patron baldness, so some infection and endocrine dysfunction need to be ruled till then "Minoxidil" 5% solution can be tried, fungal infection may be likely, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.

I had gotten a spider bite a few day ago on my finger. It had swollen and a red line started tracking up my arm. The doctors dripped antibiotics in me through I v and prescribed me Clindamycin. This morning I got another bite which is as well starting to track. Will the Antibiotics I am currently taking be affective on this new bite or will I need to go to back to the hospital ?
|
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, Spider bites are actually rare occurrences and bites from most spiders cause local redness, irritation and pain that usually can be treated at home. These local reactions usually resolve without treatment over a period of 7-10 days. I would suggest you to follow Wash the site of the spider bite well with soap and water. Apply a cool compress or ice pack over the spider bite location. Over the counter pain relievers may be used to relieve symptoms. Thank you.

my nephrologist says that I have acidosis. I take 2 sodium bicarbonate twice daily. I do not know anything about this condition. my creatinine and my nephrologist says that I have acidosis. I take 2 sodium bicarbonate tablets twice daily, my creatinine and my nephrologist says that I have acidosis. I take 2 sodium bicarbonate tablets daily; my creatinine and bun are also elevated, can you help me understand acidosis?

Hello, If your creatinine and blood urea are high, your doctor would have told you that your kidney function is reduced. Acid is normally produced in the body by the metabolic processes that sustain us. This is excreted by the kidneys so that the blood is kept at the normal pH. When the kidney function is reduced, the kidneys cannot excrete the acid and acid builds up in the blood and the pH Chat Doctor. If it

I have a swollen lymph node on the left side of neck, just under my jaw. I can move it slightly with the back of my tongue. Its been this way for nearly a year now and wanted to know if I should be conserned? My wisdom teeth are impacted as well, could that be the cause?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, normally the lymph nodes are not palpable. You can't move the lymph node with tongue. It could be a soft tissue growth or a swelling secondary to wisdom tooth infection. Consult your oral physician and get a radiograph done and get the wisdom tooth removed prophylactically. I hope my answer will help you. Take care

I fell down the stairs almost four months ago, and my leg is still sore and numb. I had a very large goose egg on my shin and the side of my leg. I had X-rays and a test for blood clots that were negative. I also have diabetes. Is it normal to still have pain and numbness?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1.No not normal to have pain and numbness throughout - there could be some nerve involvement causing the above symptoms.2. After injury, collection with pain - can think in terms of infective process.3. Get an ultrasound to evaluate the type of lesion, where it is from and what content. A needle aspiration to assess the cells.4. After the results - a small incision and Chat Doctor. 5. If money is not an issue - MRI of the area / leg will help in good anatomical and biochemical delineation of the lesion. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

I checked my 22 month olds blood sugar about 2-3 hours after she ate breakfast. I can t be exact on the time because she eats pretty slow so it takes her a while. She had 2 eggos, a quarter of a banana, a cup of milk and a half cup of orange juice for breakfast. 2-3 hours later her blood sugar was 135 is that too high?
|
Hello, Please don't get panic. This is called Random Blood sugar level. And its in the normal range. Up to 140 mg/DL is considered normal RBS (random blood sugar) level. In case of family history of diabetes. One can monitor blood sugar levels like: FBS (Fasting blood sugar), PUBS (Post Radial blood sugar). But in such a small kid. It's not required as such in general. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I had an episode tonight : I began to choke on aspirated liquid. My partner began pounding my back. Then my hands began to move as if to clap. My face turned purple. I lost consciousness for a bit. When I began to regain it I noticed my hands still moving as though to clap. I was still having trouble getting any air. Eventually I did. Now my partner and sister are freaked out: You were in seizure!!!, You were GONE!!! etc. Did I have a seizure? Is it brain related or due to lack of oxygen to the brain? If I need to see a doctor, what specialty? I don t have a primary care physician that has any decent history on me... Any thoughts???
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Its seems that you have had a seizure. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a careful neurological exam and some tests: - an EEG-complete blood count-blood electrolytes -a brain CT scan or MRI study. Other tests to consider would be a cardiac check up, including a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory Holder rhythm monitoring for cardiac arrhythmia. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

Hi! I pray that this is legit. I had a septoplasty (RT nasal psg) 2 years ago. Now I have constant blockage on this RT nasal side- then they found fungus on my RT eardrum. ENT peeled it off ...NEW ENT peels it off and I feel better for maybe one day. It grows back. Then I was dx w/ a very serious staph infection in sinus cavity. Now I am sick all the time ! NONE of the (ENT & Infectious Disease) doctors know what to do. I was put on Diflucan for 10 days solid. NO change! I requested the anti-fungal "purple dye"- ENT never called me back- nor does he have explanation why my RT nasal inner passage has a fluid-most likely blood- lump inside at very top. It bleeds a lot and now a huge blood clot came out after a 10 minute nose bleed. I am soooo sick of this and the unprofessional care! Is there anyone out there who can help me!! Thank you sooo much for reading this. Sherry

Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that both the infection should be treated simultaneously to get rid of the both infection. It is also kept in mind that Staphylococcus may be a MRSA that is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. So screening test diagnosing MRSA must be carried out first, because MRSA strain are very resistant to routinely prescribed antibiotic and special antibiotics are required to treat such an infection. Once you treated for both infection you will be out of infection soon. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.

I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that both the infection should be treated simultaneously to get rid of the both infection. It is also kept in mind that Staphylococcus may be a MRSA that is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. So screening test diagnosing MRSA must be carried out first, because MRSA strain are very resistant to routinely prescribed antibiotic and special antibiotics are required to treat such an infection. Once you treated for both infection you will be out of infection soon. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.

I am 53 and started a very heavy period on 2nd December. I have now been bleeding for 4 months and am currently taking 10 x 5mg Primolut per day which has minimized the bleeding but not stopped it. I am diabetic, have Hep C and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I have had a Hysteroscopy and D & C with no signs of cancer. My next option is a hysterectomy. I want to know if taking Primolut for so long is harmful to my liver? Blood tests have shown I am not yet going through menopause. Thank you.

Hello, I have reviewed your query in detail and here is my advice. Primal will not harmfully affect your liver. Only issue is that Primal is metabolized in the liver which would be limited in individuals with reduced liver function. You can continue taking Primal as prescribed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have twins kids; son and daughter. They are 4 years old. They have never complained about any problem with their eye and seeing anything. However since my wife has eye power -7.0 in both the eyes from the age of 9 years, therefore we thought to check up kids eyes with the doctor. The pediatric ophthalmologist from the L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India prescribed the cylindrical power for both my son and daughter. Son power is - 1.25 and -1.5. Daughter -1.50 and -1.75. The doctor prescribed the glasses for both of them. I am completely confused and worried. I have following questions to ask and I would highly appreciate any suggestion and advice for my queries: 1. Do we need to use glasses as per the doctor advice? 2. Is it possible that these powers will decrease and completely go away as the kids grow? 3. What are the precautions we should take? Any particular nutrition? 4. Is their any other form of treatment? Thanks

Hi, I am answering your questions :1. Yes, you need to wear them glasses as per doctor advice, because if they don't wear glasses then there number will increase and secondly, problem of headache can occur. 2. Since, the number is more, chances of them getting completely ok is remote but yes the number can decrease over a period of time if they continuously wear glasses. 3. Precautions like watching less TV, and from a distance of at least 8 feet. You need to give vitamin A rich foods like mango, carrot, cabbage, spinach, sweet potato, tomato, watermelon etc. I hope this has helped you. If you have any more questions, I will be happy to help. Regards Chat Doctor.

I am a female eighteen years old.Because of my pshychiatirc promblem, doctors have put me on lithium 400mg BD, Sertaline 200mg(50 in the morning and 150 at night) This raised my TSH level and I was put on thyroxine 50 microgram. Can I continue Lithium or should it be placed by some other medication. Please help me.
|
Hi, I read your query and can understand your concern regarding the side effects. Lithium is linked with causing hypothyroidism and increase in TSH levels. Decision regarding continuing or stopping lithium should be taken based on multiple factors, like how effective lithium has been for your condition, any other side effects, treatment resistance to any other Chat Doctor. If you have responded well to lithium, having no other side effects and your TSH levels are normalized with thyroxine, lithium can be continued. Your psychiatrist would be the best judge for deciding regarding it. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.

An opthamologist sent me for an MRI of my head because of some visual issues I have been having. I have a lot of other neurological symptoms as well. The MRI showed two small lesions and he told me not to worry about them and well just wait and see if my symptoms change. Should this be investigated by a neurologist as well? I feel like it should.

About two weeks ago i saw a white patch on my foreskin, but didn t notice it much. But as the patch began to grow i searched on the net and went to a urologist. He told me that it was due to smegma accumulation and gave me mutop ointment along with some medicines. But the patch is still there at my penis tip. my foreskin has also become tighter than before. could you tell me what is the problem and how to deal with it ?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. The urologist did clarify about your problem. In every possibility it has to be Sega accumulation. That should go off if you apply ointment regularly. Sega lubricates the cavity between the foreskin of the penis and the glans, thus allowing smooth movement between them during intercourse. More importance is to be given to hygiene of that foreskin area. Cleaning the foreskin area with soap twice or thrice a day should do for you. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hiii... can u please tell me the tests done for abdominal or intestinal tubrculosis..??As my stomach is paining at right side.. so the doctor ask me to test it for tuberculosis..!! Soo.. can u pls help me.. and please tell me that is it communicable and can harm my family members..? For this what are the precautions i will have to take..! I will be highly thankful to u!
|
HelloAbdominal tuberculosis can be classified into the Tubercular mesenteric amenities, intestinal tuberculosis, mental or tubercular peritonitis. The first investigation is blood test which can show increased ESR with raised lymphocytes count. Then a USG should be done to find out any enlarged and matted lymph node, thickening or adhesion of the intestinal wall or any collection of fluid. The next investigation may be CENT abdomen for better delineation of anatomic abnormality or if USG is doubtful. Sometimes there may be formation of cold abscess or mass, then aspiration of pus or USG guided biopsy of mass may be needed. The pus should be sent for test of tuberculosis. A test called Quantifier gold test may also be advised for diagnosis. Tuberculosis is a communicable disease and mainly spread through Chat Doctor. Most communicable is pulmonary tuberculosis. Chances are very, very less in abdominal tuberculosis if not associated with pulmonary TB. If there is only abdominal TB no specific precaution is needed. Regards

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. There is no need to get the toxoplasmosis screening repeatedly in pregnancy, unless you have signs and symptoms of toxoplasmosis or some abnormalities in the fetus like hepatomegaly or intracranial calcification. Hope you found the answer helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.

I have felt incredibly sick for two days. I have extreme pain in my stomach. It never goes away but sometimes dulls for about a hour. And this morning was the worst I felt like death and I vomited a thick vomit with black chunks. Whats happening to me?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. If this is upper middle abdominal pain, most likely you are facing with peptic ulcer. It is quite characteristic for this condition to give dull pain which does not go away even with painkillers. Some food intake can sometimes help with the pain (depending on its location). Black chunks can indicate bleeding from the ulcer. I suggest you to do not wait any longer with it and visit a doctor. Gastrostomy should be done if bleeding seems possible. Hope this will help. Regards.

hi i have an odd question. i have always got a heat or friction rash between my butt cheeks when it is hot an i do a lot of walking and sweating at work. it is painful to walk by the end of the day because of the rubbing. im not over weight i dont wear tight clothes butt im looking for the resolution
|
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frictional rash between but cheeks which could be due to clogging of sebaceous glands with dead bacteria and sebum and infection of hair follicle as well. Need not worry. I would suggest you to wear cotton clothes to avoid frictional heat generation. You should keep the area clean and maintain proper hygiene and Chat Doctor. Wash properly with cold water and apply topical antibacterial cream bacitracin. Avoid itching and pricking skin. Take oral antibiotics as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

I had a lower wisdom tooth removed 10days ago, it was a tricky procedure and required several stitches 2-3 days ago a couple of these became infected and i was prescribed high strength antibiotics, these seemed to work initially, it stopped leaking, the pain reduced and the swelling started to go down. However last night it started to ache again and this morning it is swollen and leaking pus again. This is day 3 out of 5 on my antibiotics, should I go back to my dentist or wait until the end of my course?
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The signs which you have mentioned suggest infection in the tooth socket. Please continue with the antibiotics given. Do saline gargling. Please visit the oral surgeon and have it checked, so that the puss if required can be removed in his office and induce healing process. Thanks and regards.

I have been getting them sporadically over the year. They are very red and leave nasty scarring, even though i do not pick at them!
|

I have had high blood pressure for awhile, but have lost 60 pounds and no longer need to take meds for that.... but now I seem to have a low pulse rate..resting rate is 36...active rate is in the 60s..sometimes I have chest pains and I can feel my heart beating hard...but still a low pulse. Thanks
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of heart block is more. Heart block means there is interruption in impulse conduction in the heart. Resting heart rate of 36 and low blood pressure are mores suggestive of heart block. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG.2. 2d echo 3. Stress test 4. Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). You may need pacemaker insertion to increase your heart rate. 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.

### Question: I have had high blood pressure for awhile, but have lost 60 pounds and no longer need to take meds for that.... but now I seem to have a low pulse rate..resting rate is 36...active rate is in the 60s..sometimes I have chest pains and I can feel my heart beating hard...but still a low pulse. Thanks
### Answer: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of heart block is more. Heart block means there is interruption in impulse conduction in the heart. Resting heart rate of 36 and low blood pressure are mores suggestive of heart block. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG.2. 2d echo 3. Stress test 4. Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). You may need pacemaker insertion to increase your heart rate. 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.

i got spots awhile ago on my penis. red little spots and made its hard to touch my penis. i couldnt masturbate for like 2 weeks and the spots would always come and go but there wasnt pain anymore however i cant masturbate as often anymore. only 3 time tops a week. wtf is wrong with me?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Spots on the Penis are usually not as serious as they appear. They may be regular modifications of the underlying skin structures. They are of concern only if you have had an unprotected sexual intercourse in the last couple of weeks to months. If they are nodular, you must see a doctor, they can be genital warts and will need treatment. But you can relax, because it is quite treatable. Otherwise, if you do not have history of such a sexual encounter, you must not worry at all. Take care, Regards

Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. I would advise you to apply firm pressure on the tooth using a gauge piece . Avoid vigorous gargling. Use an anesthetic ointment if you have any.

I just had a sonogram which showed a shadow behind the left ovary. The doctor said it could be calcification. I will be going for a CTscan in 2weeks. My concern is that it s cancer. I m 55yr. old going through menopause. At 19 I had an ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit. It went away after being placed on birth control pills. There is no history of ovarian cancer in my family.)
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. There is a shadow behind the ovary in ultrasound may not be due to cancer. As your doctor says it may be a calcification. Unless seen in C.T.scan it is not possible to say what it is. Anyhow you are going to have it soon. Till that time make sure it is not cancer. After C.T. scan your doctors will plan your treatment and every thing will be fine. don't worry. In the meanwhile avoid taking spices. Junk foods, and oily foods. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

I have a post operative DVT for which I was only prescribed aspirin until an ultra sound technician intervened. I am now on warfarin. What should I be doing to prevent the clot spreading further. The leg burns, but there is no discolouration. I am now wearing full length support hose as from yesterday. I am a very active person aged 86.?
|
Post-operative DVT can be managed with low-molecular weight heparin (Laws) For cost-effective reasons, full-dose vitamin K antagonists are still preferred as the standard long-term anticoagulation method, while Laws represent the exception. Long-term use of low-intensity warfarin should be considered a new standard of care for the management of venous thrombosis. Regards Chat Doctor.

Would like to know if it is feasible to get full dental implants, my teeth are brittle and I clinch my teeth, I will be in India in July and would like to know how much it would cost and if you can recommend a dentist in the area of Uduipar, Rajisthan India

Hello, I went through your query. Looks like you are having a condition where the enamel portion of the tooth is not developed properly. If your teeth are already completely workout, then it's better to remove them and go for full dental implants. If they are still in position to be saved, then it is wise to retain them and place crowns over them. By this you are still maintaining your original teeth. Cost of dental implants vary widely throughout India. Approximately it will cost around Rs.20000 per implant with crown. I am sorry I am not familiar with any dentists in Udaipur. Hope your queries are answered.

Hi there. I had an upper molar extracted 6 weeks ago. The first week I had a horrible taste in my mouth. It dissipated after 2 weeks, but now I have a persistent salty taste. I mean really salty! The Dentist assured me there was no puncturing whatsoever of my sinus. What is causing this salty mouth syndrome?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, After extraction healing process starts so there is increased salivation in the mouth which makes you feel salty taste.Don't worry take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Follow the post extraction instructions given to you carefully. Take care!

I was skateboarding and my board hit a ridge in the sidewalk to I flew forward off my board and slammed into my Tibialis Anterior muscle. I have excruciating pain only when I stand up and it comes in waves, I cannot step on it at all for a few steps and then I can for a few, its alarming to me that its inconsistent. I also have some intense road rash over the muscle.

It might due to injury to connective tissues and muscles along the edge of the shin-bone become inflamed., Pain usually goes away with rest. It also helps to apply ice, take anti-inflammatories, and avoid anything that causes pain. Once pain lessens, stretch and strengthen your lower leg. To prevent future problems, wear supportive shoes and avoid running on hard surfaces.

Since I moved to XXXXX over a year ago,I ve noticed a rash next to my nose whicChatDoctores and goes. I saw a doctor Who gave me steroidal cream which seam to help,but for only a short time.ive varied my diets to see if there is a Comin denominator ( none) I stopped drinking hot coffee and gone to frappichinos and it seemed to go away, this morning I had hot coffee and my nose area started to tighten up and get blotchy and for dinner I had hot chili and that set it off , it got really tight and blotchy -- any ideas ? other then that I am in fantastic shape and I eat Healthy

Hi there Generic. Your clinical observations are very astute if I may say so & would help any dermatologist pinpoint the diagnosis. I may be wrong as this is only an online portal & for best results, you need to visit your dermatologist on the ground; But, your condition seems to be what we call Acne Rosacea or plain Rosacea. This will need visual confirmation & as such, feel free to upload clear digital photos on this site. Do ensure you use a sunscreen from dawn till dusk, avoid hot & spicy foods e.g. hot tea etc. & UV light in general. Do try to use a topical antibiotic cream called metronidazole evenings & it just might get rid of your problem. Good Luck! Chat Doctor.

Hi, I took my daughter in for fillings and for removing excess gum tissure in the back. The dentist used laser to remove the excess tissue and while doing so he accidentally burned the skin on her bottom lip (about 3/16" x 3/8"). After the precedure, the dentist gave my daghter some prescrition gel to apply over the burn area. Is this accident common with laser in the dental practice ?

Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. I would suggest you to continue with the gel the dentist has prescribed. Accidents are always not common, but sometimes it does happen. Relax and allow it to let it heal. If it is not healing properly or there is increase in pain or any symptoms, please report back to the dentist to have a look on it. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

I am 47, 53 and weigh 14 stone, I work as a primary school teacher. I have had back pain on and off for many years, this has escalated since January to the point of constant pain to the left of my back, severe pain through my left buttock and down my left leg. I am now struggling to teach, i find it difficult to sit, stand or walk for periods of more than a few minutes. Also the pain is worsened when i bear down to go to the toilet. My sleep is disrupted by the pain. Anti inflammatory pain killer helps but wont cure, what can you suggest? I have not made time to see my GP, but now feeling the need to seek help.
|
Hello respected teacher... Yes you should see a neurosurgeon. Let me explain to backache with pain radiating to legs . There is list which causes this but the most important is disc slip and spinal stenosis. In these two conditions there is a compression on the nerve fibers which supply to the lower half of the body and as result of compression there is back pain and also in legs. I should suggest doing act lumbosacral region of backbone... Bye.see you in good health

I had a stent placed in my heart in March. A couple of days later I had very sharp pain go down my left leg to the top of my toes and have had an uncomfortable sensation in the area above my left toes ever since. Last week I don t recall hitting anything, but I felt a knot rising on my front left thigh. I immediately went to check it out and discovered a large bruise in the area with a lump in the middle. I put ice on it and it seemed to go down, but last night I again noticed the lump. The area in the middle of the bruise where the lump is is now almost back to flesh color. I take Plavix and aspirin daily. Is this lump cause for concern? I am 59 years old, 5 4 and weigh 139 lbs.
|
Hi, Dear,Good afternoon. Thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor online-clinic. I studied your query in-depth. I can understand your concerns.-In my opinion the lump-above the toe-is just due to the over dosage of the aspirin and Plavix, which needs to be titrated under observation of your cardiologist.-Advise-You need expert observation of your/or ER physician / ER Cardiologist, who would admit you for the controlled dosage by titration over a weeks time.-Hope this would resolve your worry-some query. Wellcome again to Chat Doctor. Have a good day.

I was first diagnosed with borderline ectasia of the ascending aorta at 3.6 cm back in 2010 via CT scan. In 2011 it grew to 3.8 cm via CT Scan. In 2012 it grew to 4.0 cm on CT and it was reported as 3.8 cm with echocardiogram done by cardio surgeon. It was determined that with me having so many CT scans for other medical conditions that they observe the ascending aorta via echocardiogram because of concern of developing radiation from recurrent CT scan. In 2013 the ascending aorta was at 4.0 according to echocardiogram done by cardio surgeon. Just recently as three weeks ago my primary sent me over to a cardiologist as opposed to the cardio surgeon on March of 2014 (this month). Cardiologist did echo and said it was 3.8 cm and that it was barely dialated and that even if there was concern that consideration for surgery could be done only at 5.0 cm or larger. He did say, however, that he d like to see me in 6 months for follow up. This is concerning to me as there is conflicting info from this recent echo from the cardiologist (claiming it was 3.8 cm) and the echo that was done by the cardio surgeon back in august of 2013 which was reported at 4.0. What should I do? Should I request a copy of the report done in 2013 done by the cardio surgeon and give it to the cardiologist I m seeing now? I know the number is not so serious for surgery yet, but I d be more comfortable having the correct number in the monitoring process.

Hi, Actually, there can be some capabilities between echocardiograms, there can be interoperator and intraoperative variability. And small differences are acceptable. According to your results, there is difference of 2 mm, it is ok. The important thing is the aorta didn't dilated since the last exam.Also, you should consider that your aorta is not dilated as much to undergo an operation. 40 mm is not that dangerous and there is a need only for follow up. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I was first diagnosed with borderline ectasia of the ascending aorta at 3.6 cm back in 2010 via CT scan. In 2011 it grew to 3.8 cm via CT Scan. In 2012 it grew to 4.0 cm on CT and it was reported as 3.8 cm with echocardiogram done by cardio surgeon. It was determined that with me having so many CT scans for other medical conditions that they observe the ascending aorta via echocardiogram because of concern of developing radiation from recurrent CT scan. In 2013 the ascending aorta was at 4.0 according to echocardiogram done by cardio surgeon. Just recently as three weeks ago my primary sent me over to a cardiologist as opposed to the cardio surgeon on March of 2014 (this month). Cardiologist did echo and said it was 3.8 cm and that it was barely dialated and that even if there was concern that consideration for surgery could be done only at 5.0 cm or larger. He did say, however, that he d like to see me in 6 months for follow up. This is concerning to me as there is conflicting info from this recent echo from the cardiologist (claiming it was 3.8 cm) and the echo that was done by the cardio surgeon back in august of 2013 which was reported at 4.0.

I had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago. They also did liver biopsy and I am now being tested for Hemochromatosis. Over the past week I have noticed a very strong vaginal oder. I have no fever and haven t changed soaps, prescriptions or my diet. I have showered every night. There isn t any pain but I did bleed lightly for 1 day (which is strange bc I usually don t have a period bc I m on Depo). Any way the oder could be caused from the surgery or hemochromatosis?

Hello. I have a quarter size bump on my back. It s hard and red...similar to a pimple. I squeezed it and a smelly puss and some blood came out. After touching it for a while it starts to hurt. How can I treat this? I thought it was a pimple but I don t think it is anymore

Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be having infected sebaceous cyst. Treatment of it is analgesic such as diclofenac and antibiotics. Vitamin B and C will help in promoting healing. If it is not healed by it then excisional biopsy of it can be carried out which will exclude other affections. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

after eating and feeling full, within 5 minutes time I feel like I haven t eaten all day. I get light headed and a bit shaky. Almost to the point of panic attacks because it takes a while for the feeling to go away. I don t eat a lot of sugary things. Cheerios, toast, milk, bananas, almonds usually start my day. Any clue what this could be? I do have a doctors appt. on Tuesday.
