I did strain to empty my bowels and felt like it was taking more stress than usual to completely feel emptied. I do take adderall almost daily 10mg. Im concerned and any and all help will be appreciated. thanks. Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. Dribbling of semen during evacuation procedure is quite normal process and there is nothing to worry about it. Your ADD problem is not to be linked with this dribbling.Your body produces semen whenever it is sexually excited. The produced semen is then stored within your body. The stored semen is a waste product. Your body will try to throw the waste product when it becomes excess. If you do not masturbate or engage in sexual intercourse, the body tries to throw the stored semen through other means. The frequently used other means are through nocturnal ejaculation or throw bowel movement. Over and above this process is automatic and you do not have any control over it. So please do not worry.

Doctor: Hi, liver involvement in sarcoidosis is very common. Elevated liver enzymes in a non alcoholic sarcoid patient is mostly a consequence of liver involvement. This should not be an immediate concern to him as the progression of liver damage is rare. However, I suggest ruling out other causes like hepatitis B and C before anything.

Then you receive infusions of stem cells from a compatible donor.After the procedure, there's a risk that the new stem cells will react against your body's healthy tissues, causing potentially fatal damage (graft-versus-host disease).

Some people get thrush when they take certain medications like antibiotics or inhaled corticosteroids. Some conditions make thrush more common such as diabetes and HIV. Thrush is not serious and can be treated with antifungal medications. Usually a liquid or lozenge is prescribed first and then a pill if these do not work.

Last Friday after taking a culture of my wounds told me that I have a bacterial strep infection in my foot! What is it? & Is there anything that can be done about it? What are the symptoms of strep foot? You would think my foot would heal by now! Doctor: Strep is a common type of bacteria that often causes skin and wound infections. There are different strains of strep, one type of which causes strep throat. You could have that strain or a different strain. Skin and wound infections with strep may cause redness, swelling, pus, pain and heat in the area. There could be a lot of drainage of pus. Antibiotics are used to treat strep. When a culture is done, they usually test how sensitive the strep is to different antibiotics. They can then identify the correct antibiotic to use and switch you to it. I am not sure about the dates you give. If the surgery indeed was back in 2011, it is indeed way too long. (It is awfully long if it was just 2013.) If the infection has gotten into the bone, this could be the reason. These type of infections are difficult to cure and require extended treatment with antibiotics. Hope this answers your query.

Doctor: Hello there, Thanks for posting on HCM, From your description you are having a chest pain that is probably due to peptic ulcer diseases (PUD) or gastrooesophageal reflux diseases (GERD) or acute gastritis or acute oesophagitis. If you would have precised the exact location of the pain or where it pains most ( like the pain is retrosternal) it will orient us better into determining the origin of the pain. If the pain is more on the ribs, then it might be acute costochondritis or angina pectoris. Normally before performing an X-ray, doctor had to examine you physically and locate the area where the pain is most intense either by properly interviewing you and/or examining you before requesting for X-rays or laboratory tests, as this would have oriented the exams asked. I suggest you still get back to the hospital and get examined properly. As if any of the above mentioned conditions are responsible appropriate treatment will be required. If acute PUD or GERD or Gastritis then proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole or h2 inhibitors such as ranidine and/or associated to antacids to treat the affection will be required. Running a test to determine the presence of H. pylori will also be important to determine infectious cause of the gastritis.

I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.Well and there are two main types of fatty liver disease: Alcoholic liver disease and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. You can get alcoholic liver disease from drinking lots of alcohol. It can even show up after a short period of heavy drinking, other causes are obesity and hepatitis B and C.If you have alcoholic liver disease and you are a heavy drinker, quitting is the most important thing you can do. Talk to your doctor about how to get help. If you don't stop you could get complications like alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis. Even if you have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, it can help to avoid drinking. If you are overweight or obese, do what you can to gradually lose weight -- no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.Eat a balanced and healthy diet and get regular exercise. Limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and corn. And cut down on drinks with lots of sugar like sports drinks and juice.I hope I have answered you query.

Should we go for a blood transfusion. Doctor: Dear patient.Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.I can understand your reservations about blood transfusion and when it should be done. I will try my best to answer your question and guide you through the problem.Your sister has a HB of 3.5gm/dl. The normal HB for her is 12gm/dl. Her anemia can be multifactorial, blood loss due to fibroids, nutritional, menstrual loss. HB of 3.5gm/dl is a very low haemoglobin. The body goes into a state of high output cardiac failure and blood is not able to deliver enough oxygen to the tissues. Oxygen is a basic requirement of the cells. Hypoxia leads to accumulation of acids in the blood and the patient feels tired and breathless. Hence I would recommend your sister be transfused with a total of 3 to 4 packed cells to get the HB till 7gm/dl. She can then be treated for the cause. she can then be given hematinics, intravenous iron and treated for fibroids if any.Current day transfusions are safe and the risk of acquiring diseases is minimal. Hence you shouldn't worry about that,.I hope this helps you out.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Source: Patient: I was shot through the right ankle area from inside to outside with 22 magnum bullet on Nov22 2014. It missed the artery, the bones, and most of the tendons. The doctor removed the parts of the bullet that was at the skin on the outside of the leg and left the small bits of shrapnel inside the leg. The wound has healed quickly and cleanly. The bullet seems to have hit or at least damaged the tibial plantar nerve. I am experiencing an interesting assortment of sensations in my foot. The area forward of the instep on the bottom of the foot has no feeling to touch but fizzes, bubbles, burns, tingles, stabs, and electric shocks causing me no shortage of miserable hours. It is generally worse evenings and unbearable at bedtime. My big toe and the one next to it are bending to the right and bend downward if I lift my toes toward my shins. My first question is: If the nerve is severed why am I having all these sensations in my foot? If it s not severed is it likely to heal and give me the feeling back in my foot? Can nerve damage cause my toes to bend and twist or does it sound like some other hidden damage. Even though I have no feeling in the foot, I m walking, with some difficulty, since I do have to earn a living. Will walking on it benefit circulation or is it detrimental? Thanks for allowing me to pile on the questions. M Doctor: Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.I can understand your concern. As bullet injury occurred from inside out, it might have caused medial plantar nerve injury or tibial nerve injury just before bifurcation. It can only be confirmed by examination of your foot. Medial plantar nerve damage cause sensory loss or tingling/burning sensation on medial plantar area between big toe and adjacent toe. There will be weakness of big toe and adjacent toe plantar flexion. In your case, most symptoms are resembling medial plantar nerve damage. Now coming to your queries. 1. Severance or disconnection of nerve can be complete or partial. Partial disconnection can cause abnormal connection between nerve ends (neuroma).This can cause irritative symptoms like burning/tingling/insect crawling like sensations. Complete disconnection leads to loss of all sensations in affected region. Confirmation of it can be made by NCV/EMG studies.2. It is right that partial injury has more chances of healing than complete injury. Presence of some sensation is considered a good sign. Nerve regeneration and healing in such cases can occur unto 18 months, but maximum healing occurs in first 12 months. Even surgical repair of nerve shows some good results in first 12 months.But there is one problem. If irritative symptoms are severe and not decreasing even after medication, sometimes nerve is severed by doctor to relieve discomfort. 3. Walking or physical activity has nothing to do with healing of nerve. But it helps in stretching of muscles and acts like physiotherapy, which is good for muscles supplied by the nerve. You can passively stretch your toes up and down. It also prevents permanent spasm or contracture of joints and thus deformity. Do not overdo it. It can damage muscle.Some tips-Do not take any medications for healing of nerves as after 1 year of injury, drugs do not enhance healing. -Your are having small sized peripheral nerve injury. Repair of such type nerve is very difficult and results are not very promising.-You can take help of physiotherapist to learn about toe exercise.Thanks. Hope it will help you.

All other symptoms appear a week or two later which are nausea & vomiting with pica, frequent urination and breast changes (dark pigmentation of areola & nipple with increase in areolar size, engorgement with tenderness and secretions). Since he has ejaculated inside your vagina, the possibility of pregnancy does exist. Please get your urine tested for pregnancy if you miss your period to confirm the diagnosis of pregnancy.

If it is mumps , then you don't have to worry and you should take medications like antibiotics (augmentin duo),pain killers,anti-inflammatory and antihistamines and it will take generally 7-10 days for the swelling to subside. Also,do not worry about its complications as it can be cured with appropriate medications.You can take a normal diet with lots of fluids but just to avoid sour food like lemon etc. You can also use a hexidine mouth wash , to help maintain oral hygiene.Consult your family physician or ENT specialist for complete treatment.Thanks and regards," }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Target: Suggest permanent treatment for mumps disease" } ]

Depending on the bone lost, there may be a concavity that catches food as it continues to heal. Sometimes tjere is extra tissue which can easily be refuced if there is a flap that catches food. If your socket is infected, you may have a bad taste and drainage from this location. A piece if tooth or bone may be present and needs to be removed. Rinse the area vigorously and clean well.

Popping in the knee joint can range from basic laxity of ligaments to the early signs of osteoarthritis. Considering your case, since you had a meniscal tear there is a minor chance you might progress to early osteoarthritis. The simplest way for figure that out is to get an xray of the knee joint.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Source: Patient: I had surgery to remove a lipoma on my back 4 years ago. When the path reports came back I was told I had a liposarcoma and had cancer. I had an mri done and was told I didn t have cancer. now I have another tumor in the same area. it was soft as first, like the first one I had, but turned hard about 1 year ago. After it became hard it has been beyond painful. I m scared. What do you think? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.There is a little bit of confusion in your statement. It is not clear if the path reports consistently said it was a liposarcoma. MRI is a good investigation tool for tumors and shows the size, location, infiltration and any associated structural involvement. The path reports are confirmatory and always have to be matched with the MRI results. If path reports say it was malignant then there is no other way to tell that it isnt one.In view of what is written above and considering that the path reports were altered subsequently, the appearance of a new tumor in the area requires CT or MRI scan and an image guided biopsy from the active region of the tumor. This is essential to know if there is a locally aggressive process going on and if it should be treated. The pain can be due to nerve entrapment by the tumor and that must also be looked in to. A biopsy is the final confirmation in your case. There is no need to get scared as it can also be a focus of chronic infection in the operated area.
