The right kidney is slightly hyperechoic with decreased corticomedullary differentiation. It is normal in position and size, measuring 11.3 cm in long axis. No evidence of hydronephrosis, renal mass, or perinephric fluid collections. The left kidney is slightly hyperechoic with decreased corticomedullary differentiation. It is normal in position and size, measuring 11.9 cm in long axis. No evidence of hydronephrosis, renal mass, or perinephric fluid collections. There are two anechoic cystic lesions within the lower pole of the left kidney with increased through transmission and imperceptible walls without internal septations, calcification, or internal color Doppler blood flow compatible with benign simple renal cysts. The more superior lesion measures 9 x 7 x 7 mm and the more inferior lesion measures 1.3 x 0.8 x 0.8 cm. The urinary bladder appears normal.Findings of hyperechogenicity and decreased corticomedullary differentiation are suggestive of medical renal disease. Clinical correlation is advised.Can someone please tell me what the findings mean? Am I going into Kidney Failure. I have no toher medical conditions. I had a routine UA done over a week ago and protein was noted in myurine so my doctor sent me for an ultrasound. My creatine was normal and all other test. I am 44 and Im an AA Female. thank you.
HelloGenerally hyperechoic(bright) echo texture of kidney suggest renal parenchymal disease. It may be due to many reasons like chronic hypertension, chronic diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis etc. Besides clinical evaluation, you may need further investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, urine RE/ME, complete renal function test(include serum urea, creatinine,creatinine clearance), GFR,serum sodium, potassium,chloride, bicarbonate,phosphate,24 hour protein clearance. Further investigations can be done if needed. Simple cysts in kidneys are generally benign findings and only need follow up. It rarely needs treatment. These are age related developmental findings. You should go for proper checkup. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have upper abdominal pain that radiates to my back, eventually I start having severe gagging & vomit. After the retching/gagging subsides, the pain subsides. I have had my gall bladder removed several years ago. Had an upper endoscopy in Feb. 2013, had double hernia repair with mesh 3/20/13. thought that was causing this pain but i started having it again about 2 weeks ago. I have had this for over 2 years & there is a pattern that it comes and goes. Any Ideas?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. You have upper abdominal pain, radiates to back, have gagging and vomit then pain subsided. Endoscopy done double hernia found and repaired with mesh, pain recurred 2 weeks back the pain comes and goes. Gall bladder removed several years ago. It appears that the pain is due to gastric irritation due to irritant foods, like spicy foods, junk foods, and oily foods, and some foods which your stomach is allergic like milk and milk products. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards.

hello sir, almost 2 years has passed but my wife did not pregnant, I am normal and she has a little bit problem about periods, she was treated by the doctor and now her periods are in routine, but still she is not pregnant what should we do regarding this,the last date of her starting period is 18 January.and one more question which I want to ask how many time i should have to do intercourse? thanks
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. I would suggest your wife to get her follicular study done. By this you will come to know she is producing eggs or not and also the timing. In 30 days cycle average time of egg formation will be on 13 to 15th day. If she is normally ovulating then you can try between 12 to 16th day which is called fertile period. Daily once intercourse will be fine. As egg will be alive for 1 day and sperm for 3 to 4 days. If she is not ovulating then ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. You may discuss this with your doctor. Hope I have been helpful. Regards

My three year old son has white crusty scabs on his scalp. I have noticed the dry patches before, but they were usually not attached. I have now found quite a few patches that are attached. They feel like lumps on his head but peel off. Can you tell me what they are?
Hi read your question Your child has crusty scab no the scalp Which was attache with scalp Its mostly seborrhea dermatitis For this u have to use antifungal shampoo twice-weekly To soften thick patch first, rub mineral oil onto the area and brush gently to help peel scales off. Use warm water and massage the affected area Avoid scratching of head. If not improve then show your pediatrician or skin specialist

I got my two lower wisdom teeth removed a week and a day ago today. The dentist said that he had to do no cutting and both teeth were easy to remove. Two days after surgery I notice on the lower right side an opening of gum tissue going up my cheek connected to the hole. Im scared I accidentally ripped my gum upwards. Theres no significant pain but a little red around the right socket. Also, ive been really nauseous and theres a tingling in my throat that has been present for the last 4 days. Should I be worried?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Ideally an extraction site take around 10-15 days to heal depending on patients body resistance. The opening of gum tissue attached to the extraction site is hanging there because it was attached to the tooth but now is just there as the tooth has been removed. I don't think you should worry about it. Give it some time to heal. The tingling in throat after a week may not be related to the extraction. Still, I would suggest that you visit your dentist for a thorough check-up. Hope this helps. Regards

Hi, My wife suffered from sciatica(based on symptoms such as pain from hip to toe etc) for past 7 years. The symptom occurred only after her delivery.Is is curable? what test need to be taken to prove it is sciatica and what medication we need to take
hither should be physical examination of spine first and if need be x-ray /MRI should be done to locate the cause of referred pain in legs. It is manageable with back exercises, massage and medicines and fomentation, avoiding lifting heavy objects. Backache is common after delivery since there is overstretching of back and pelvic muscles during delivery, but settles with exercises, rest assured. Some pain medicines may be taken

Hello,I was recently turned away from a colonoscopy because my blood pressure was too high (170/110). I understand there is a proper way to take blood pressure readings and improper ways to take them.I am taking my blood pressure daily and logging it for my next doctors visit. What is the proper procedure for taking my blood pressure?Thank you,
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor Dear, You may need to take your BP at home if you have hypertension (high BP) or hypotension (low BP). High BP increases your risk for stroke, heart attack, or kidney disease. Low BP may cause you to feel dizzy or like you are going to pass out. This usually happens when you stand up quickly. You may need to take medicine to keep your BP at a normal level. Start the procedure with few dos and don'ts for accurate reading Do not check your blood pressure within 30 minutes of smoking, Chat Doctor. These may affect your BP reading. Do not take a BP reading in an arm that is injured or has an IV or a shunt. Sit and rest for 5 minutes before you take your BP. Extend your arm and support it on a flat surface. Your arm should be at the same level as your heart. Both of your feet should be flat on the floor. The device has a built-in pump that inflates the cuff. Put the cuff about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your elbow. Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm. The BP reading may not be correct if the cuff is too loose. Turn on the BP monitor and follow the directions. Write down your BP, the date, the time, and which arm you used to take the BP. If possible, take your blood pressure twice and write down both readings. These BP readings can be 1 minute apart. Let the air out of the cuff. Turn off the monitor and take off the BP cuff. Take your BP at least twice a day. Take your BP at the same times each day, such as the morning and evening for accurate reading. Hope this helps solve your query. All the best.Don't hesitate to get back if you have any further query

I had a tongue biopsy last week - 19Dec - under general anaesthetic due to a recurring ulcer that I have been bothered with for more than a year. This was on the right side of my tongue very near to the front/tip. The surgeon took a slice of my tongue and cauterised the wound without suturing. It has been very sore and uncomfortable to talk, eat or drink, and is very swollen around the wound. The last 24 hours I have noticed that the lymph node under my jaw on the right side (where the section was taken) just in front of my ear is very tender and hurts to touch. Getting a bit concerned as Xmas is in 36 hours and I really thought it would have well settled by now (4 days). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am 60 years old and a smoker (I know, I know!!)
Hello, Actually tongue is a muscular organ with high vascular supply (blood supply) so the wounds heal on its own and early that is why the doctor must not have given any stitch. But some packs and medications like antibiotics and painkillers are given for support, I think you should visit the dentist again for the medications. As well, you should quit smoking at least for 1 week as it will also delay healing. Thank you.

a pin pricking feeling on my right side..just above the thigh where i was given a painkiller injection two weeks back. i was hospitalised for kidney stone and was on antibiotics till last sunday. This pricking started on tuesday. i was afraid it may be an abscess so started antibiotics on friday again. today is the third day of that but pricking feeling not gone. what could it be?
Intramuscular injection may sometimes lead to nerve damage. Generally there will be loss of sensation/ numbness in the area supplied by particular nerve. This pin pricking sensation could be sign of neuronal regeneration. Abscess will have symptoms like fever, pain, swelling and redness in that area. If you have these symptoms you should consult surgeon as may need Chat Doctor. Hopefully it should subside within a week if its secondary to mild nerve damage.

my 8 year old daughter came home from school yesterday with a fever of 102 f. She is c/o headache i left temple, and has been throwing up. Appears hydrated, and we are pushing fluids. Early this am she had to throw up but because her belly was empty she had green bile. Her left eye is red perioribital to her nose. I thought she was rubbing her eye too hard, but there is a little swelling below the eyebrow. wondering if she needs to be seen or handle it at home.. fevers have been 99.5 to 101
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of severe vomiting, headache and fever. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, improper digestion, poor metabolism, electrolyte imbalance and due to acute gastritis. Need not worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day. You should keep your head elevated while sleeping. Avoid eating spicy and heavy food, reduce intake of dairy products. You should take plenty of fluids. Consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may order test like swab test, blood test and will do physical examination. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with antiemetic medications. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hello, I recently ordered a night guard for grinding my teeth from my dentist. I used it for one night, and I put it in tonight and it feels really loose, and feels like its falling out of my mouth... I was wondering if this is normal and if theres any way I can fix it? thanks.
Hi. Thanks for the query. Night guards are used to prevent the teeth from wearing away due to grinding. If it is loose then it can have further damaging effects on the teeth and gums. It is not normal for the night guard to get loose in a day only, and you should consult a Dentist and get evaluated. It will be better to get a custom-made night guard prepared as per the fit of the oral tissues, and then it will ft appropriately. For now avoid wearing the loose night guard. Hope this helps. Regards.

My husband had the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer and still has diarrhea issues 8 months later. He lost 60 lbs and is gaining it back slowly. On TPN food bags for the last 2 months and still on them and I would like to start using a juicer for him but dont know what fruits or veggies to use for this type of cancer. Presently his CA19-9 tumor markers are at 160 after surgery they were at 24. This concerns me. Any ideas to get those tumor markers down? He has already gone through the radiation and chemo treatments. Thank you. Dawn Skiba
Hi and thank you so much for this query am so sorry to hear about this persistent diarrhea and the rising tumor markers. The rising tumor markers mean that the tumor was not completely removed and nothing else can be done to ad Chat Doctor. It is rather unfortunate but a majority of persons with incompletely excised pancreatic cancer would most likely not be alive after 6\u00a0months. There is nothing that can be done about this diarrhea as it is due to digestive secretions that flow through especially bile. About starting a juicer, talk to his treating doctor to give his accord. I hope this ad

hello sir Due to accident my left hand arm injured and doctor put a Stich before 10 days and they suggested to take taking tablet Pantocid one tab every morning & Emanzen D, Augpen 625 Bid (Twice in a day) for 5 day after dosage completed i stoped. now still i am getting pain in woond place and it also may be swelling so what should do now again that tab continue or what should do suggest me sir
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had a stitch 10 days before and the wound still hurts, this is a normal phenomenon of healing, and it will heal soon, for which you shouldn't get worry more. Continuing the medication by the advice of the same physician should be helpful, but I will recommend you to do quick icing around the wound area and keep it under sunlight for healing. As most wounds heal within 10-15 days of time post stitching you should keep patience to allow it to heal. With gods grace everything will be alright. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

i forgot to take my bp med yesterday but remembered just before i went to bed so i took it, then again when i woke up this morning, this evening i was very dizzy, very tired and by pulse rate was lower than usual bp was good though, is this because i took med dose to close together? or should i be worried its something more?
Hellothanks for posting here. Looks like you are on beta blocker medications for blood pressure control. Beta blockers have an additional effect of lowering the heart rate asking with lowering blood pressure. So since you took two doses in short intervals that's why you had slow heart rate and symptoms. You may skip your routine evening dose and start again from the next morning. Beta blockers are very beneficial for blood pressure and also have a protecting effect from a cardiac event. So please continue taking them. In case you have similar symptoms you can skip one dose and then continue there forth. If these symptoms persist then you must see your doctor. As of now there is nothing to worry. Thank you.

Hi, I have been getting dizzy when standing suddenly. This happens when standing up suddenly from a laying or prolonged sitting position. I am familiar with orthostatic hypostension. Hopefully that s spelled correctly. The intensity of the dizziness has started to increase, as well as the frequency. Earlier today I was laying down using my laptop, and got up. The dizziness was very intense, the initial onset I experienced a 6 second period where my vision was black and white only. I did what I normally do when I experience these symptoms
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Good to know you are familiar with orthostatic or postural hypotension.2. Making slow movements during changing of position is the most important aspect.3. Venous stockings to the lower limbs can avoid pooling of blood in lower limbs and sudden variations in blood pressure.4. Also take plenty of water. Corticosteroids may be necessary, when orthostatic hypotension is severe. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

I have red blotches that itch and have appeared on my left cheek and back of left hand, also on the back of my right hand and another on my right fore arm. In addition to these spots that are red, round and itch, my lips were also swollen when I got up this morning. There are no blisters or previous injury. Benadryl cream helps with itching. No fever but do have headache. I have had this happen a few times the past year and each time the spots come back on the same areas. It lasts about a week. It s really bothers me when my lips and face swell up.

Dear doctor, my name is Temitayo Steven from Nigeria. For the past 8 days, I have been experiencing fever that would start around the afternoon period and disappear in the morning, slight headache and chest pain. Some days before this I had rashes around my anus. I went for a test 5 days ago and below is the result; S.typhi(O 1
Hi, Temitayo Steven, did the doctors check anything besides for S. type? Your symptoms are nonspecific and could be almost any kind of infection. A lot more tests might be needed. The first test you did for S. type only indicates you have been infected at some time; it may not be an acute infection. Some things I would consider are strep, pneumonia, malaria, other parasitic infections, HIV, herpes, certain other STDs, tuberculosis, atypical mycobacterial infections, other bacterial infections. Many bacterial infections require a different antibiotic than Ciprofloxacin. You need to have a good examination, to describe the rash, and get more testing done to see what this could be. Hope this helps.

hello doctor ,I m 30 years old and doctor predicted that i have follicular ovarian cyst .Presently i am taking Metformin 500mg tablet(twice a day).Really i got stressed nowadays.I got married before 4 yrs.And after 1.5 yrs got one miscarriage also.Is that cyst is recoverable problem or not?Can i go for IVF?Can you pls suggest good gynaecologist in chennai.Thanks for your reply in advance
Hello could have been given metformin for PCs, high blood sugar. The cyst can be of 2 types. Either it's a single large cyst or polycystic ovaries. You need to thoroughly evaluated as to what the problem might be apart from the cyst.Accordingly, treatment is variable.IVF is the last resort. Before that there are other factors to consider.It's a lengthy process. You should consult a good ORGAN /fertility specialist. Try Apollo Hosp in Chennai.

I have had the same boyfriend for about 8 months now and have been consistently sexually active with him. Sometimes my vaginal area is a little sore the next day, but this time it is itchy, red and irritated and I recently felt little bumps or ridges inside my vagina. My discharge smells and looks completely normal except for when I ve tried to put itch cream on it and it gets a little thicker and whiter. My boyfriend is completely fine with no irritation at all to his genitals. We tried having sex again a day after I noticed it hurting and there was a very sharp pain when he tried to enter that nearly left me crying in pain. There is some burning during urination but I feel like that happens only if I ve recently been scratching the area. I have been having these symptoms for about 4 days now with no change and it may just be getting worse since I can t help scratching and messing with it.

Hello doctor. I m 27 n last yr i had miscarriage after that i had infection and hormonal imbalance. Now we r planning pregnancy n in this month my dr. Prescribed me Meprate to support pregnancy, but every time i feel abs pain after using meprate. So my question is will i have safe pregnancy?
Hello.thanks for trusting the Chat Doctor doctors for your health related queries. I guess your concern is about...can u have safe pregnancy after an infection and hormonal imbalance post miscarriage.right.my answer is.YES.there are chances of safer pregnancy in the future. Usually after miscarriage it is routine that doctor will advise for ultrasound to conform that whether is miscarriage is COMPLETE (that means all products of conception are expelled out from the womb) or INCOMPLETE (there is retained product of conception inside the womb). In both the cases usually antibiotics are prescribed to prevent infection and incomplete miscarriage usually required minor surgery for removal of retained products so that chances of infection further decreases. As u told that u had miscarriage in last year, but u didn't give whether it was complete or incomplete. U had taken antibiotics or not. So it is difficult for me to comment on this. After miscarriage there is hormonal imbalance usually happens, but in most of the cases it will correct spontaneously. Some women required medication for correlation of it. This hormonal imbalance usually effects the menses, due to that menses will be irregular.u told that u have hormonal imbalance but didn't give info regarding your menses whether it is regular or irregular. So it is difficult for me to comment on this.u also told that u have taking separate which cause pain in your abs, for that u can take alternative medicine after discussing with your treating doctor. With the above information u can try out my suggestions-1. RELAX...DON'T WORRY. there are chances of safer pregnancy in your case. So KEEP PATIENCE.2. If your infection had resolved n u have regular menses then there is DOUBLE CHANCE of getting pregnant in your case.3. If u r in hurry then visit nearby infertility specialist. He/she can help u. I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for u.regards- Chat Doctor. .DON'T WORRY.everything will be alright. I pray the God that u will be blessed with a cute n healthy baby.hopefully TWINS)

My Dr. wants to put me on Lyrica, but I don t want to go on it because of the side effects.

I am not over weight and I am trying to eliminate the foods that cause inflammation.
HiT his is an agonizing disease, but now good remedial measures are possible.if you are attending Fibromyalgia clinics, then trust your doctor for the prescriptions, if you tolerate gabapentin, there's no need to fear side effects of Lyrical unless you had taken previously and suffered its side effects...some patients report even side effects to gabapentin too, so it's not necessary you would too.likewise for lyrical...some rheumatologists prescribe methycobalamin and amytryptalline too along with gabapentin or lyrical.meanwhile do take physical therapy if not taking, it would relieve symptomatically, see a physical therapist too.

for the past few weeks weve been noticing unexplained bruises on the lower part of her right leg. when they seem to be going away they get darker . she now has more bruising and more are appearing on her left leg. shell be 2 in june and I suffered from severe anemia during my pregnancy with her as well as dvt . can any of this be related?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Bruises over leg can be due to blood disorders, infection,coagulopathy, vasculitis or autoimmune disease. As you have history of anemia and DVT, then Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation should also be ruled out. You should visit your doctor and get tests like CBC, ESR,PT, APTT, D-dimer,serum fibrinogen, C-reactive protein. Then it will be easier to reach a proper diagnosis. Hope it helps. Take Care!

My daughter age 6 chked on a sweet 2 days ago, a woman helped to dislodge it by hitting my daughter on the back. She appears ok however I am noticing that she seems to be burping lots now and also says it feels like something is stuck in her throat when eating.
Hi, when something like you said sweet had stuck in the throat and was dislodged by thrust on back, can produce inflammation at point of stuck. And till this inflammation persists your child will feel that something has stuck there or lump like feeling. There is no need to worry, these symptoms will subside on its own in 1 week. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.

Hello , I appear to be in good health , a little weight gain but stays pretty steady. Had a check last year all came good. Recently this Saturday as laid down to rest for the evening, I experienced a very different issue. I rested on left side with left arm folded up by my ear and under a pillow. Some time after that I gently strength our my arm and immediately experienced a very painful pain run up my left arm, then a good hit to my chest after immediately i began to sweat cold with chills and felt light headed and dizzy and a bit nauseous. Not sure were this came from, but was worried if a mild heart attack I may have experienced. Could this be possible . From that on I am still feeling a little light headed, and nauseous with my left are just week. Was this some type of a heart attack ?? Thank you Marie Nanez
Hello Marie, the kind of pain you described more likely due a transient neural (nerve) compression because of the position of your arm, cardiac pain is more dull aching like heaviness in the chest, which will be persistent. So be assured, however because a week has gone by, and you are still anxious, it would be ok if you can get a EKG done, which will give us some idea about the heart. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hi it is now my 5th day since i had my wisdom tooth extracted (growing in wisdom tooth) lately ive been feeling this itchy hurt. And it was still bleeding this morning . Im not sur if its still bleeding right now coz i just finish eating but then i looked at in the mirror and theres this kinda whitish thing then theres a black thing on top of it not sure but it doesnt hurt really bad but it hurts a little kinda feeling the nerve then to my ear is that normal .. I dont want to go to the sentist again coz its expensive i dont have an insuranceAlso can i now brush my teeth with toothpaste (colgate optic white).?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain and swelling are most common after wisdom tooth extraction, and they subside after sometimes, according to your clinical symptoms I suppose that you might have some trauma to the nerve at the time of extraction. I would suggest you to take multivitamin supplements for 15 days. Take lukewarm saline rinses. Take antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Avoid smoking and consumption of hot and spicy food stuffs. If the symptoms persists or worsen then you have to visit to the concerned Dentist and get the checkup done. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards.

I started the pill yaz flex in october/november 2013 and got some breakthrough bleeding during the first or second month using it so i just took the 4 day break and everything was fine. 3 weeks ago I went overseas and the plane trips in total equaled about 25 hours. I had sex a few times but my boyfriend pulled out before he did anything and most of the time we used condoms. Then i got my period and it has lasted about 2 weeks and during this time we had sex but again he pulled out. The bleeding has ranged from heavy and red to light and brown.. Now that I am back home I have started the 4 day break and it has been 2 days and i still only have brown discharge. Is it quite unlikely that I could be pregnant due to the fact i took the pill correctly (usually on time but if not only about an hour late) and that he never came inside me? Ive read that the 2 weeks of bleeding can be due to hormones changing from change of lifestyle and things (like being overseas) and also that the body is getting used to the pill, is this correct? I have a habit of overthinking things and stressing myself out so it would be helpful to have a second opinion thank you.
I think you are right that you are stressing yourself out needlessly. The fact that you were taking the pills properly is quite reliable in preventing pregnancy. The fact that he pulled out might help a little too, but that doesn't work very well to prevent pregnancy. Some people may have a bit of discharge during the pill free time, but as long as it is not too bothersome, you don't need to worry about it. It is also true that travel and life changes can affect your cycles.

I started a cold and dry cough two days ago. This afternoon I noticed some burning inside my mouth when eating warm soup and I have some red areas and irritation in the back of my throat, roof of my mouth and sides. There are no white patches as of yet. What should I do to prevent this from getting worse, do you think this could be strep throat ?
Hi. Thanks for the query. Symptoms of cold and cough with red areas on the palate, inner cheeks and throat area is all due to infection only. As the mucosal surfaces are irritated and inflamed due to infection, therefore there is burning sensation while eating or Chat Doctor. . So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get a throat swab culture done. It will help in ruling out whether it is bacterial or viral throat infection. At times there is viral infection with secondary bacterial infection. In that case you will be advised antibiotics like Azithromycin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Advil, Alive etc., do warm saline gargles, antiseptic mouthwash gargles and suck throat lozenges. You can also suck lozenges with numbing agents to reduce pain and burning. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi - i have sciatica with pain going down my right leg when it occurs! i did a mantoux test that says i have Mycobacterium TB of the spine. Have been taking pyrazinamide-rifampicin-isoniazid-ethambutol for about 6months now!! Please, any suggestions to ease the leg cramps and sciatica?? Thanks, Aminu, nigeria.
Hi Amino, thanks for asking from Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are suffering from Potts spine (TB of spine). You are already taking 4 first line anti-tubercular therapy, which is ideal treatment of Potts spine. The therapy is long, around 9 to 15 months. There is no standard treatment guidelines. The duration can be decided based on your physician decision and your symptoms. Now coming to your symptoms, leg cramps and sciatica. These symptoms are most probably due to compression and collapse of vertebrae, collection of pus in spinal canal and compression of nerves. To get relief, you should-Avoid any kind of weight-bearing- Avoid flexion and extension at spine-Wear back supporting belt like thoracolumbar corset.- For pain relief, you can take tablet pregabalin after proper prescription. Usual adult is 75 to 150 mg twice a day. If still no relief, you can take tablet amitriptyline after proper prescription.- For cramps, do physiotherapy and take tablet baclofen after proper prescription.- Also increase your protein and calcium intake for strengthening bones. If still no relief and symptoms worsen, repeat MRI spine to rule out any progressively increasing compression of spinal cord or nerves. Sometimes surgery (less than 10% cases) may be needed to relieve pressure symptoms. Hope it will help you. If still in doubt, do let me know. Thanks. Take care. Chat Doctor.

i want to know that my gyeno has recommended me femilon conterceptive pills but how to take it and after sex or before it and she has also told me to take it after my second day of my periods?and at what time in the whole day?and after taking these tablets how many times we can have sex in a month?
Hi, Felon is a combined oral contraception pill commonly used for prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Take one active pill (with hormones) once daily for 21 days in a row. If you are using a product with 28 tablets, take an inactive pill once daily for 7 days in a row after you have taken the last active pill. If you start taking the pill within 5 days after your period starts, you will be protected from pregnancy straight away. If you start combination pills any other time, you will not be protected from an unwanted pregnancy you need to take another method of birth control like a condom during your first week on the pill if you wish to have sex. The pill should be taken on regular basis at the same time of the day. You can have sex as long as you are comfortable but remember, although these pills can prevent an unwanted pregnancy, but they do not prevent any sexually transmitted disease like HIV. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hi guys, Good a bit of issue, about 2 weeks ago, I noticed a pea size lump on my anus rim. Prior to that about a week before I was traveling oversea in South E. Asia and got diarrhea for about 2 days and had very red stools. I went to the clinic and they suspected food poisoning gave so medication to solidify my stool. To date, the pea sized lump is virtually gone, however I have noticed a white pimple spot near the anus. A bit worried about it, I ll definitely be seeing the doc next week when I have time off. Seeking a bit of insight to put my mind at easy. Look forward to your assistance.
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause for pea size lump around anus-In my opinion your small perianal lump is -Sentinel pile, which would need confirmation from ER Surgeon, as it appears to be there long back, simultaneously and got detected now. This is non-malignant condition but needs treatment by an ER Surgeon.Hence, stop worrying about it, as it is not a CANCER as you fear and think, but do check it up from ER Surgeon. For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor. And Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence, I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope this would relieve your problem. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

I went to er Friday night for severe lower back pain. They did a ct scan and it was normal. They said it was probably a muscle strain and gave me pain meds and muscle relaxer. It s been 2 days and I m still in pretty severe pain. I can t walk, sit down, stand up, sit up from laying without a lot of help. The pain radiates into my hips,legs and sometimes groin area. I can t reach far with my arms without causing pain in my back. I can t move my legs very much without pain, I can t even wipe myself when going to the bathroom. The only relief I get is slightly reclining in a reclining chair and thats still painful. Should I go to my primary doctor tomorrow or give it a few more days?
Hi, You said you underwent a CT scan, and it is normal. Then it will be literally a muscle spasm. By meeting up a physical therapist he will help you a lot. Ask for a Therapeutic Ultrasound therapy and TENS for the pain. It will help you reduce the spasm and pain as well. Doing a little of core stability exercises will surely help and make your core stronger to avoid any aches and pain in the future.

hi, i am 50 years old male living with wife and have a son and a daughter,both are studying. for a few weeks a am feeling giddiness in my head . my work includes computer related work. i consulted a physician and he advised me x-ray of my neck. after seeing the x-ray film he advised me 6 hours use of cervical collar and neck exercises.on 18th of june, at about 11.30 in the night i felt very high heart pulpitation.i recorded my b.p.with a digital machine,it was about 160/100, pulserate 124. myhands and legs had been very cold,i felt very restless. i was taken to the local govt. hospital where they used saline and some injection. next day i consulted a physician(MD, Cardiologist). he advised me petri beta-10 in the night and after ECG diagnosed anxiety and stress. the other day ,i went to patna and consulted a DM Cardiologst.he did HOLTERMONITER TEST AND TMT and said that i have no cardiac problem and advised Rivotril 2.5, half tablet every night. i came back to my place and started doing neck exercises. on 25 june ,i took harassment due to certain marriage ceremonies and in tne night my B.P. again shoot to 177/90, pulse 115. I took one full tab. og rivotril and again went to the hospital where they gave me dexona and some emergency medicines.but on this day i was more relaxed than the previous one. last night my B.P. again shooted to 160/90, pulse rate 125. i took half tab of rivotril and one tab of petril beta . after half an hour , imy B.P. was normal i.e. 116/76, pulse 75. my question is what should be my next step of treatment and why is my B.P. going high suddenly., why my heart beat excelerates so much and if it happens in the night , what damage it can do.
Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given details, I can surely suggest that you are anxious. Stress and anxiety go hand in hand. The high blood pressure with tachycardia without any cardiac or digestive symptoms surely points at anxiety and apprehension. You should learn to relax and handle the stress and anxiety. Do not take self medications. You may also be obsessed with blood pressure monitor. The moment you tie into your arm, the BP rises, but in actuality it is not. Therefore, please do not take BP medicine without expert advise. Continue the current medicines, exercise, do relaxation exercises, meditation etc. Psychotherapy treatment should also help you immensely. If you still require my services on this aspect, you may post a direct query to me on this portal. Please include as many details as possible. I shall provide psychotherapy treatment tailor made for you which should help you good. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

I was on my normal 5 mile walk yesterday and all of a sudden going up a hill I got this sudden sharp pain that ran thought my knee cap. Almost like an electrical shock. Only lasted a few seconds but started walking and it happened again. Got home did the whole ice, elevate and did some stretching. Doesn t bother me to kneel or go up stairs. Today I ve has a few (3) episodes. It s totally random. I do have osteo arthritis. Any thoughts?
Hi I did review your concern. Your electric shock like sensation over knee could be due to nerve root irritation in the back like lumbar spinal stenosis and typically occurs when you extend you back or walk on toes. I would advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon who can help you with diagnosis or a neurologist who can also run tests like Nerve conduction tests. A spinal MRI after detailed neurological test would be highly advantageous here. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. Wish you healthy and happy life ahead.

hi, my wife has a dry cough for sometime now, and had a history of Asthma long back in the history, and was told by the doctor then that although it is cured now, it can relapse after forty. She is 34 now, and the doctor yesterday prescribed her to take foracort 200 inhaler from Cipla for 6 weeks, and said that it is not for Asthma but the component in it addresses Allergic condition that she is prevailing now due to which the cough is occurring. Can you please confirm if the use of this inhaler can tend to become habit or is a curable method?
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. As your wife has past history of asthma, there is high chances of persisting asthma. Foracort 200 is meant for the same purpose. Still you should consult with internal medicine specialist/ chest physician and should go for thorough check up. Inhalational therapy (by forecourt) has been defined the best therapy. By this route, medicine directly reach up to the lungs and whole body is prevented from the side effects of the medicines. Medicines available in inhaler is in microgram while medicine taken orally is in milligram, so by this route body is exposed to less dosage. Asthma is an allergic disease and if it is occurring in adult age then chances of permanent cure is least likely. It can be controlled but can't be eradicated. If body needs use of inhaler for getting relief then it can't be labeled as habit. Take care,

Hi, I am Sarmistha . I want to know about my fathers health. At pre sent he has creatinine level 1.5Now he had done a X-ray report and ultra sonography . In ultra sonography report there is no calculus found, but in X-ray report there is upper pelvis multiple calcification. Is it very serious problem?
Hi Samantha, Looking at the radiological and ultrasound findings, in my opinion these are normal age related changes. The pelvic calcifications seen are due to calcium depositions in the pelvic veins. It is normal age related degenerative change. The ultrasound findings are normal and there are no stones. Creatinine levels are dependent on muscle mass and exercise. 1.5 mg could be normal. Require further history of diabetes or hypertension or any renal related abnormalities to further confirm. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern and yellow discharge and a blister does indicate infection.

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. Generally after a fracture of this kind of it is stable (like I suppose in this case, otherwise your dad would have had spinal fixation) it is recommended a 6-week bed rest.

Many thanks

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Spitting of blood may be due to many reasons. He may have cirrhosis of liver or some problems in lung.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As the injury is on forehead and indented, there are chances that there is an underlying fracture of the skull bones. You should take him to a nearby hospital and get it checked as early as possible. Please get an X-ray/CT scan to rule out fracture. For the time being, you can give him Arica 200, 1 dose now and second dose tomorrow. It will help in reducing pain and speedy healing. Hope it sorts your problem.

Dear Dr. From past few days i feel mild pain on my stomach (i believe its due to because of my tight pants) and 4days before when i was pooing solid semen came out from my penis.. when i tried to discharge the stool liquid semen also coming... same thing happened yesterday also? can u please advise me wht i have to do?
Hello, There could be simple logical explanation for this problem is that you might have retrograde ejaculation means semen enters your bladder instead of coming out of urethra or there is some semen left in urethra after the last ejaculation. However, it's not possible to have semen in bowels, that whitish discharge could be due to mucus in stool which could be a due number of reasons like infections, fissures, bowel obstruction or Crohn's disease. I suggest you to visit your doctor for detailed checkup regarding your problems and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Please excuse my writing skills as I am a construction worker and truck driver. I am off a recent bout with pneumonia and plurasy (no idea how to spell that) I was in the emergency room three time in jan with both lungs spotted with pneumonia and could not breath deep could not stop coughing its april now and just went back to work concreting and lost my breath very fast and powered through it but had a coughing fit and it feels like I have been kicked in the ribs, its in one spot on the bottom in the back on the right what can I do. it hurt before and was better but never comfortable. I hope this makes sense and thank you for reading
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Travelling is a risk factor for pneumonia. So in your case, since you are still having coughing and chest pain, better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Repeat chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Repeat chest x-ray is needed to rule out worsening of pneumonia. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis as this is common after pneumonia. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor. So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Yes, I have been having some watery red spotting after I wipe when I go pee pee. I have been the the doctor three times and I gave them a urine specimen. The first time, doctor diagnosed me with a UTI, but wasnt sure if it could also be a yeast infection. So, she prescribed Bacterim for 5 days but it gave me diahhrea so Dr. changed it to Cipro, which worked fine. She also gave me a one time pill to take for the yeast infection after finishing the Cipro. I took all my medication. During treatment, I saw a little spotting of watered down blood after wiping my pee pee. Dr. took another urine exam. Said I never had UTI but that I definitely had a yeast infection. I finished all my meds so I waited to see if I would be okay and it seemed as though I was. Yesterday, when I went pee pee, I wiped and saw some more watered down red spots on the tissue. I returned to the Dr. today who ordered a urinalysis. He is having me worked up for bladder or kidney cancer just as a precaution. Still dont know what is causing the sporadic blood spots. Pls. advise.

What would you say is the problem if I m experiencing more bloating than normal, specifically in the face, and I notice I m more sensitive to alcohol, experiencing blackouts after drinking alcohol but not what I would consider an excessive amount... Could this be a sign I need to cleanse my liver? Or could I have Candid overgrowth?
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor If you are experiencing black-outs in response to alcohol use, it would be best to discontinue the use of alcohol even if you are only using small quantities. It is possible that alcohol use can affect the liver particularly if it is used repeatedly but liver disease itself, unless very severe, would not normally cause loss of consciousness. In terms of candida overgrowth, this is not a known cause of black-outs. Other potential causes would be electrolyte disorders, heart disease, low blood pressure, deny Chat Doctor. I hope this helps

Hi, thank you for the question. It looks from your history that your child might be having a urinary tract infection which can be confirmed with a urinalysis and if confirmed can be treated with a course of antibiotics like definite.

About 1.5 years ago I started with a wart on mid-finger (rt) hand. I have tried OTC remedies i.e. compound W and Freeze Away. It would kill the top surface of the skin, but would continue to grow afterwards. ( Seemed as though it fertilized them). What started as one went to 5 on mid finger, 1 on ring finger, 2 on index finger, 1 on knuckle on rt. hand m.( index ). as well as one on left thumb knuckle joint. The big one on mid finger is cracked in 2 different places and occasionally bleeds. I m sure this has some to do with the Papilona HIV. virus. Can these be burned off by a dermatologists?

Hi, My wife took a postpone tablet on the 28th day of her cycle and on the same day we had unprotected sex. She also took a emergency contraceptive pill (iPill) after 48 hours of our intercourse. She has not got her periods yet. and today is 32nd day after her last period. Is there any chance that she is pregnant?
Assuming that she took the pill within 72 hours of intercourse as you describe, she shouldn't be pregnant. The fact that her period is delayed may be a result of the pill which can sometimes cause irregular periods. However, if you also had intercourse at any other time in the cycle, without taking the pill or using another form of birth control, then she could be pregnant. I would recommend taking a pregnancy test either way, just to make sure she isn't pregnant. I hope this answers your question, please let me know if you need any more information.

Greetings from Chat Doctor. Thanks for posting your query. Fever and fatigue can be caused by any infection. Infection most commonly happens due to Virus or bacteria. Even MONO is a viral infection. Among viral and bacterial infection, most of the viral infections are self limiting, means there will get cured by itself in 2-4 days. So my advice it to wait for 2-3 days, you can take Tylenol for fever,

Hi Doctor,i have done liver test. In the result, SGOT is high as 140 but SGPT is in normal value. let me know whehter there is any problem due to this value. i have undergone treatement for TB 7 years back and for jaundice 12 years back. will it be a reason for this high level
Hi thanks for asking question. You have not mentioned which type of jaundice do you had in past?? You have taken antitb treatment which can lead hepatotoxicity and lead to hepatitis. So Chat Doctor. Just now viral cause for hepatitis has to be ruled to put by doing viral marker.Bag carrier can lead its elevated value. Fatty liver also can lead its elevated value.USG will be helpful for that. Sometimes previous heart attack and muscle injury can lead to elevated liver enzymes. It is better to repeat value after 3 months if cause is not clear. If still cause not clear and value increasing then USG and FNAC can be done as further work up. For that consult gastric surgeon. I hope I have solved your query. Regards;

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are concerned about your brothers psychological problems. From the limited information that you have provided it is not possible to pinpoint a definitive diagnosis. A detailed history and proper psychological assessment is necessary for this. Regarding the medication that he is on - Proven (Paroxetine) is an anti-depressant medication and Located (Clonazepam) is a sedative / antianxiety medication. Without confirming the diagnosis, it is not possible to say whether this medication are appropriate for him or not. I'm not sure if he has been seen by a doctor and then prescribed this medication. If not, please take him to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Wish you all the best.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I am 66 yrs old, physically active, working as an RN. I have experienced back issues for years and am under the care of a Chiropractor. This week, XRays revealed above dx. Was told I had the spine of a 90 yr old and needed to be careful. Shocking as well as frightening. Looking at the reviews of Instaflex , and pondering the validity of the claims. Thanks so much,
Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems you are suffering from degenerative disc disease & it occurs due to repetitive overload or stress to the disc & it increases the risk of disc herniation & spinal canal stenosis. The main treatment of such pain is bed rest along with painkillers and muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants can help with your symptoms if used in appropriate dosage in combination with a potent analgesic. You can get the appropriate Chat Doctor. Meanwhile, you can follow these measures

hello.. Im wondering if there is a difference between a torn disk, herniated disc, bulging disc. are they different or basically mean the same thing.. ? a mri has shown 2 tears with mild bulging in my l5 s1 disc and herniation in l4 l5? what should I expect from this? I have already had surgery on l5 s1 in 2009. just wondering if I will need another surgery for this?
Hi the various conditions you have described as torn disk, herniated disc, bulging disc. Are stages of the same processes. First annular ligament is torn and a part of disc bulges out, then it goes beyond the boundary of disc into neural space(herniation). Only these conditions don't determine whether you need to be operated or treated conservatively. Majority of disc diseases do not need operation. I suggest you take painkillers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy, and if there is no relief then go for orthopedic consultation.

Hello, my dad has eosinophilia and for the last few months, right before bed, starts acting extremely strange, he forgets that his sons are home and I guess he just acts like a zombie, very strange. He also sometimes gets dizzy, sweats, nausea, and pain in different spots, including minor chest pain. Could any of these symptoms be caused by eosinophilia?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Her forgetfulness is not due to eosinophilic. Dizziness or sweating are also not related. He should search the cause of eosinophilic. Asthma, allergy, hypersensitivity, parasitic infection etc. can lead eosinophilic. Investigate for the cause and start treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

hi i am a gay man and have noticed that when ejaculate my semen is clear with a slight brown tinge to it ..this been happening now for the last couple of weeks..I am now experiencing a pain in my scrotum ..i had an ultra sound a week ago and was found to be clear of anything.. i am also experiencing a slight burn sensation when i pee..
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! I would suggest doing an urinalysis to check for infection. A semen analysis with culture would also help determine if there is an infection. Most common cause of brownish discoloration of the semen is still blood brought about by inflammation and rigorous sexual activity. Pain in the testis could be inflammation also from trauma and will resolve with rest and adequate pain relievers. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at

dr. im 42 years old, my first baby expired before four years who was 10months.my and my hsbnd reports are fine.why i cnt concieve again .he dnt want I.V.F.how i can concieve natarully.wht is my healyh problem.i want to concieve naturully as soon as possible not by i.v.f.can m2 tone help for it.
Hi, I guess your concern is about getting pregnant, naturally without IVF, at the age of 42 years. You have mentioned that you are taking medicine - M2 tone for regularization of menses. The dose and since when you have started taking the medicine is not shared by you. After taking the medicines whether the menses have become regular or not, it is also not shared by you. It is natures rule, as we get older the functions of our body will be decreased quantitatively and qualitatively. The ovaries also decrease in its function as women become old. The reproductive age group, that is maximum chances of conceiving is more usually at 20 to 40 years. Around the age of 50 to 52 years, women stop her menses. This indicates she can't conceive anymore. The age 45-48 years is a transition zone from highly reproductive age group to the age group where menses stop. And here the chances of getting pregnant are not as high as reproductive age group and not low as 50- 52 yrs of age. But still there are a chances of getting pregnant in this transition age, and you are at 42, so there is a hope of getting pregnant. Be positive and don't lose hope. However, irregular menses at this age decreases the chances of pregnancy. But, as you are on medicine for irregular menses, once the menses becomes regular, the chances of getting pregnancy increases. So there is double positive hope for you. Some people thought they are in reproductive age group, because of problem, either in husband and wife, chances of getting pregnancy decreases. You have told that MY AND MY HUSBAND REPORTS ARE FINE. So there is triple positive hope. As you have lost your first child, and you are at the transition zone, it's better to go for an accelerated method of pregnancy. The accelerated methods are-IVF, GIFT, GIFT, CSI. The advantage of accelerated methods is getting twins of triplets is also there. My suggestions

Is there any evidence , of any sort, that connects pseudocholinesterase deficiency to an inability to process alcohol? or any evidence that suggests pseudocholinesterase deficiency could amplify the effects of alcohol on the liver? I have a relative that has liver cirrhosis and claims that she was told that her pseudocholinesterase deficiency accelerated her liver problems as it caused her to not be able to process alcohol as well. I have not been allowed to talk to her doctor, but all the research I have seen on pseudocholinesterase deficiency says that it only effects the bodies ability to deal with specific drugs in anestecis. Just trying to figure out the truth.
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern if this is the case of liver cirrhosis then here truth is this that alcohol has done the job and the degenerative process have been started there now if the deficiency of pseudo cholinesterase if taken into consideration then this is of no value or does not prove anything or it won't help the patient in the prognosis, hope this information helps you have nice day.

My friend in London has been to every doctor there and still has such painful stomach problems she believes to be caused by parasites. She asked me to find out if there is a doctor here in the U.S. That specializes in this area that will do telephone consultation. She traveled extensively, is in so much pain she wants to die.
Hi. Thanks for your query and concern for your friend in London. Your history says that she had been to every Doctor there, has painful stomach problems. What she believes like having parasites may not be tried, and can be diagnosed and treated well. This is a treatable problem and once you get rid of the parasites, the pain should have been well controlled. The main issue is the pain in abdomen not getting OK in spite of visits to May Doctors suggest me the most probable cause as IBS, the Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. Yes, she can consult the Gastroenterologist in U.S. Second opinion of a Gynecologist to be sought after just to rule out any problems related to it. I hope this should solve her problems.

i have swollen ankle, discoloration of the leg, above the swollen ankle for 6inches, the area of skin has turned black almost a band around the entire leg,above that the entire right leg is swollen and painful.I was advised to take motrin for the swelling. i have taken ibuprofen and the pain has eased. i am a black man in my mid 50es. what the cause.
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As there is no mention the mechanism of injury in the history it appears more of the systemic issue and needs a thorough clinical assessment. As you are 50 years old this could be degenerative changes happening in the body. This is a normal human physiological process. Also, checking the kidney function test and vascular insufficiency will make understand the cause of the discoloration of the skin and swelling. The swelling without any Injury can occur due to two factors like kidney issue or the vascular insufficiency. Kidney function Test and Doppler scan Will help understand the possible causes and treatment will be guided accordingly. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

last night i had a terrible headache with lots of pressure in my head. i also had nausea, palpitations, confusion and weakness. i almost felt like i was out of my body watching what i was doing. i had chills for several hours and then suddenly i was incredibly hot and clammy. tonight i still feel a little lightheaded and my hands are kind of weak feeling.
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. From the look and feel of the symptoms, it seems that, last night you had nocturnal panic attack. The cause most probably could be your stress. Try to recollect, were you stressed in the near past or are you doing something (job or burden) which continuously stresses you? Also recollect whether you had any abdominal or digestion problems or disorders on these days. It is quite natural, after panic attack, the symptoms do wander around. In any case, you should consult a physician for an investigation and further advise. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same. Your child seems to have developed Tina wapitis which is a fungal infection of the hair which occurs mostly in young child Chat Doctor. The most important part of its treatment is the intake of oral antifungals which your child will start taking in few days. For the associated pain, you can give a simple painkiller like paracetamol in the right dose which is determined by her weight. Maintain proper hygiene of the surrounding hair also. Avoid use of hair oil. Wash the hair properly. This problem might take at least three to six weeks to completely heal. Thank you.

I have been having heart palpitations for about six weeks. It started only when I layed down but now it happens more often. I do not smoke drink or even drink caffeine. It agrivates my gerd. I am 41 weigh 169 and am 6 1. My biological died of cardiopathy in his early 40 s. Most of what I read says not to worry but should I?
Hello, Herd is a common problem and It's rarely also related to heart disease. Most of the time, there is no need to worry. However, since you have a history of heart diseases, it's better to get ECG done and stress test like treadmill test which will rule out your concern. For Herd, you should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Elevate head end of the bed or use pillows during sleep or rest. You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or omeprazole risperidone combination before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add SYR sacral O or genus two teaspoon three times a day for a week. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

My 3 year old son had a basic allergen profile blood test. It showed low allergy to milk and undetermined allergy to egg whites and wheat. Doc will not refer him to an allergist for further testing. He just wants us to try an elimination diet for a few weeks. His only symptoms that we noticed are a rash (keratosis pilaris) and a runny nose. The allergen profile only tests for a few things. Should we insist on seeing an allergist?
Hello, If symptoms of allergy like a rash or runny nose improve after eliminating egg or milk, then probably you don't need to go for further testing. More than food other allergens like pollen, dust, mites, artificial flavors in candies, chocolates, juices, etcetera, can cause allergy. If symptoms are not improving, you need to go to an immunologist. In the meantime, you may have antihistamines medicine for symptom relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,I am 31 year old and have 2 year old son. I was expecting my second baby in this june. Pregnancy went well till 38.4 weeks with all reports being normal. I do not have blood pressure or diabetes or any other health problems. Pregnancy went normal without any events. On 5th I did scan and babies weight was 3.0. Doctor asked us to take c-section date and we choose 14th june. Tuesday on 8th, I was feeling extremely tired and had cramps in my legs. I also was feeling less baby movements. I went to doctor and they checked heartbeats. It was 148. So, they told us baby is fine and come for final checkup on 11th. I went on 11th and doctor couldnt find babies heartbeats. What could be the reason for this? I had to take out still born child immediately with second c-section. Is it okay to try conceiving for second baby now? I had one cycle of my menstrual period in August. What kind of care should I take and what are the chances of getting similar even repeated? Doctor told me that there was blood clot in umbilical cord and so babies heartbeat stopped suddenly.Cheers,Shweta
Hello, I am very sorry for what you had to go through. Since you had a cesarean section just a couple of months ago, I would ask you to wait for a year before planning another pregnancy. This helps you to recoup, and the wound also heals in the meantime. The cause of the fetal demise is not a recurrent one. It calls for extra care during your next pregnancy in fetal monitoring. Please have a healthy diet and adequate rest. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my 11 month old daughter has over the last 3 weeks got a large smooth non tender liver, her abdomen is distorted by it.She is otherwise well except over last few days she occasionally appears to posset some food again. She was given azithromycin for a presumed mycoplasma infection for 2 months atopped in may and had a tonsillitis in may with high fevers for 10 days. At present she is well but this mass is very concerning. We are seeing a paediatrician soon do you have any thoughts.
In infancy liver is normally palpable. Its pathological only if the liver span or its actual size is increased. As u said cytoplasm infection which can cause respiratory symptoms can cause pushed down liver which can be why it's palpable. So unless there is visible jaundice or high colored stools or clay stools you need not worry. Repeated vomiting and loss of appetite can be symptoms of hepatitis. I would suggest an ultrasound abdomen and liver function tests to rule out liver pathology

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Coughing, chest congestion, tightness with normal chest x-ray are commonly seen with bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.

I have been using the treadmil for years now, the last week i have noticed the longer i stand or put any pressure on my right leg a small lump appears on my lower leg 4-5 inches above my ankle. It is squishy but does not hurt and is very noticeable. Is this something to worry about?
Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied and understood your query details. Based on the facts of your query, In My opinion you seem to suffer from CUES(Chronic Compartment Exertional Syn Chat Doctor. this lump is due to the Incompetent Perforator Vein, which pops out form the leg fascia-when the right leg is pressed or stressed or put to strain. You don't have to worry as being benign and Venous lump and as it is non-cancerous Lump. Color Doppler study of the leg veins would fix the diagnosis. Hope this reply would help you to resolve your Anxiety. ThnksGood Day!!
