One fifth females are having this. There are many factors that may cause this condition. At the time of ovulation follicular inflammation may be there causing this or ovarian wall rupture (which is a part of ovulation), or fallopian tube contraction may cause this. If your pain is from these causes you need not to take any special treatment, if pain is severe you can have an analgesic from your doctor. This type of pain will worsen at the time of periods only and will subside with in maximum 3 days.If your nature of pain doesn't match with this you may have to do an abdominal ultrasound scan to find out what it is.For mittelshmerz you can have the following medicine,1. Tab mahwari. 1 tab @ morning only during menstrual period.2. Syp masturin 10ml with 100ml of water two times daily (only non- menstruation days)3.lakshmanarishtam + ashokarishtam (mix with 50% each). 30ml twice daily after food(only non- menstruation days).4. If possible do a light purgation with 5 to 10 ml of castor oil one week before periods.This combination can manage the condition of chronic mittelshmerz. ( the above are Unani medicines)With thanks"

Zinc oxide helps such as the one found in nappy creams. You can use a mild steroid cream such as 0.1% hydrocortisone cream; and use antihistamine syrup such as chlorphenamine or cetirizine. You can also apply insect repellant cream on the exposed parts of the skin avoiding the face and neck. Best Wishes."

My facial skin feels itchy; I have severe hot flashes (full hystorectomy August, 2010 (I am 54 years). I was smoking marijuana mixed with tobacco for six and a half years but quit altogether this past january, 2014.

I am previously diagnosed with depression/anxiety (2002/2004), take Effexor (3x75mg/day) and literally feel like a 90 year old person. I drop things, can hardly hold my tea mug and dropped things in grocery store today and/or cannot pickup things in grocery store. Last night putting frozen chicken breasts from ziplock bag into roasting pan was difficult and almost dropped them. Not more than six inches to go. My doctor has a terrible reputation and spends the bulk of the year travelling. Doctor: pins and needle sensations along with weakness in hand might suggest Peripheral neuropathy. If it is asymmetric in onset, it can be mononeuritis multiplex.I advice you to get Nerve conduction study and EMG study done."

Could this be my wisdom tooth even though I'm almost 26. Also I've had an olcer on and off for the past year in the same spot. Please help. Doctor: Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern.Thanks for your query . The hard structure you mention in query is nothing but erupting wisdom tooth (as you also mention in query ) . But this wisdom tooth is impacted means partially erupted . This impacted tooth make space for lodgement of food derbies and bacteria , which make gum to swell on that site .That inflamed gum usually get bitten during eating which form ulcer . this condition is called 'PERICORONITIS' .iI would suggest you to :-- Do betadine rinses several times a day otherwise the pericoronal flap get badly infected .- Take Advil ( if not allergic) or paracetamole for pain and swelling .- Do hydrogenperoxide rinses mix with equal amount of water once .Consult dentist for proper examination . Doctor may take X-ray to see the root position and and relation to bone .Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin) , Surgically cut the pericoronal flap if it become problematic.Doctor may also recommend you to get the wisdom tooth extracted . If doctor think the it will be problematic in future due to lack of space in arch. hope your concern has been resolved.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari"

Most common causes of late postpartum hemorrhage could be uterine atony, retained products and unlikely tear. If you are taking cerazette and any of the above causes are responsible then it is useless taking it.I think you should have been referred to a gynobs a while ago as bleeding for 4 months could be very fatal.

I also have a uncomfortable feeling on the outside of my perineal area. No sores or anything. I've been going through this for about two years.

I am not permiscuous either......what should I be asking my doctor to look at? Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The soreness on the roof of mouth can be because of the herpetic infection. This can result in ulcers over the roof of the mouth, conjuctivitis, genital ulcers. So nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You can get a smear done and send it for histopathological examination. Mean while you can take topical anesthetic like lignocaine gel and topical analgesics like choline salicylate.I hope my answer will help you, take care."

Doctor: Hello,Your baby having loose stools for 14 days along with diaper rashes is suggestive of lactose intolerance. It is seen in babies that have some infection in their gut due to difficulty in digesting lactose and sugar in milk; this makes them pass stool with acidic pH which leads to diaper rashes.Apply Siloderm Mixi cream or any zinc oxide cream on the affected area after cleaning the area, each time after passing stool. Get a stool examination for pH levels done; reduce and change milk to a low lactose formula.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal"

I am giving her Nasonex from 3 weeks, in vain. Her Paed told me that she has allergy to something and she doesnot seem to have any other problem. Today he prescribed Singulair too. She is otherwise healthy without any other symptoms but she always keep on breathing from mouth which make me feel miserable. Please help Doctor: Hello Fatema , Welcome to Healthcare Magic forum. Your history does seem to resemble that of allergic rhinitis which is common in children especially if there is any family history of allergy or asthma or there is frequent exposure to dust, pets or birds, pollution etc. I assume your pediatrician has ruled out any infection and completed a course of antibiotics to treat if any. Singulair is an appropriate prescription if the cause is confirmed to be allergy.The mouth breathing is definitely due to nasal blockage and congestion which commonly occurs due to infection or allergy or an ENT problem like tonsils adenoids hypertrophy or deviated nasal septum. A complete Ear nose throat examination, chest auscultation and blood tests like complete blood counts and blood smear and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(esr) can mostly differentiate between them and give an exact diagnosis . So it is advisable to discuss it with your doctor if they can be done and then treatment with singulair can be given if allergy is confirmed. Meanwhile steam inhalations and warm salt water gargles thrice daily may provide relief if acceptable to her . Also please avoid the possible allergens like dust, pets and smoke. Wish her a speedy recovery. Regards"

I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.This kind of pains that you explain might be generated from heart. The first think to take in consideration is ischemic heart disease.This means possible problems with heart coronary arteries. Ischemic pains have some characteristics. They in general are retro-sternal pains like heaviness, tightness. They irradiate to one or both arms, to the neck, jaw or between shoulders. They last from 5 to 30 minutes. Usually they begin during efforts. Other heart problem that might give pains like these are aortic problems. They might give pains between shoulders like you explain.So, if i was your treating doctor i would recommend you to seek medical attention. Your hereditary history all sow makes this mandatory.Of course this might be nothing but it is better to make a simple chek up with an electrocardiogram, an echo-cardiograph, a blood analyses. After these your doctor will decide what to do next.Hope I was helpful. Best regards"

I got the xray report of the region done which says everything is normal. Ultrasound report says a simple cortical cyst on pole of right kidney . Kindly explain me the findings and give me the your possible diagnosis. Thanx in anticipation Dr. Anuj Doctor: Hello. Thanks for using HCM. Simple renal cysts are an incidental finding on ultrasound and usually do not require much treatment. Cysts are collection water like fluid inside a wall of a sac, lying close to the kidneys or sometimes forming a part of the kidney, like in your case which means the cyst is lying in the cortical part of the kidney. Xrays will be unable to reveal such cysts because of this consistency. Simple renal cysts are usually without any symptoms, however some cysts can cause pain on the right side of the abdomen when such cysts compress on adjoining organs. If the cyst continue to cause pain, your doctor can decide on aspirating the cyst. Feel free for further queries. Regards."

Thank you in advance. Steph Doctor: Hi,Based on the history you seem to be suffering from tarsal tunnel syndrome. It is quite similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs in the wrist. Both disorders arise from the compression of a nerve in a confined space.An injury, such as an ankle sprain or repetitive may produce painful swelling in or near the tunnel, resulting in compression of the nerve. However, other possibilities may include ganglion cyst, swollen tendon, arthritis or diabetes. Advised orthopedic consultation for further evaluation and treatment.Hope I have answered your question.

Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.Many times cancer cannot be completely treated by surgery alone. That is when a patient is recommended to have chemotherapy and radiation therapy. During surgery, microscopic invasion of the cancer to the surrounding areas might persist and this can cause seeding of the cancer. As a result the patient can have recurrence even though she has got hysterectomy done.It is best to suppress the cancer cells with the help of radiation and then giving chemotherapy. There might be small lymph nodes with disease spread and invisible at the moment. Treatment with chemotherapy eradicates the disease completely in early stages. Please do not worry."

Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).Regarding diet - You can use cerelac...any flavour will do. Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.Hope my answer was helpful for you.

Breast cyst are collection of fluid in the localized area forming cyst. These are usually benign. Aspiration of fluid is the non-surgical option available with fluid sent for cytology. If its blood stained or malignant cells seen on cytology, you will need a surgical removal of the cyst. Even aspiration for benign cyst is also associated with high rate of recurrence. For breast enlargement, you again have to resort to surgery. There are many implant available which can be used in breast augmentation, for which you need to see a plastic surgeon.I hope my answer will help. Do rate if you like it.Regards"

It feels a little like a clamp clamping down and squeezing, and lasts for a few seconds to a minute at a time.

I am 43 years old, 5' 6\", approx 205 lbs, and don't have many medical issues, although I do take Omeprazole (sp?) for heartburn. Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM....You have squeezing chest pain....For that first cardiac cause has to be ruled out ....For that blood pressure monitoring and ECG need to be done ...Stress test also useful....If no cardiac cause present then pain could be by simple muscular pain or reffred pain from acid reflux....Avoid excess spicy food ...Take proper sleep posture with head elevation while sleeping ...Avoid strenuous work. Consult pulmonologist for physical examination and auscultation ....and subsequent work up...Hope your concern solved."

She does get 7-8 hours sleep during the school week. She sleeps on the weekends at least 10 hours and wants to nap during the day. She is active in sports and has alot of friends, so it is not depression. Doctor: Hi..... I understand your concern. I too agree that this does not look like depression. I feel that it could be hypothyroidism. I suggest you get her evaluated for this and get her thyroid profile checked.Regards - Dr. Sumanth"

I had abscess ulcer on same side few weeks ago for which I took augmentin( antibiotics) and got it resolved but these tongue is making me nervous and scared. I m 29 year old women. Doctor: Hi..Thanks for the query..Pain and swelling of papillae at the very back of tongue is commonly due to inflammation and swelling of Circumvallate papillae..One thing you should keep noted that Circumvallate Papillae are already larger in size as compared to other papillae present on tongue, so you can mistakenly think that the papillae are swollen, so to confirm an expert checkup is a must..It occurs due to Infection in the tongue and throat, burning with hot foods or chemicals like concentrated mouthwash solution, acid reflux etc..So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..For now do warm saline gargles..Take Vitamin B complex supplement..Avoid irritant and spicy foods..You can also suck ice pops and do cool water rinses so that inflammation can get reduced..Hope this helps..Regards.."

It hurts to touch parts of my right foot and ankle . Prior to this I was experiencing almost no feeling in either foot. i have had both x-rays and a bone scan done - no diagnosis available. Any ideas ?? Doctor: Hello,I have studied your case and I think that it might be nerve compression in the foot. I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine to see if there is nerve compression is present in the spine due to disc herniation. I would recommend you following.1.Tablet Pregabalin M one daily.2.Avoid forward bending and weight lifting.3.Elastocrape bandage is also good for swelling.I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.thanks"

Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM.In my opinion it seems muscular pain only but since it is chest pain, we have to rule out cardiac causes. So better to get done ECG first.If this is normal than it must be musculoskeletal pain only.And chances of musculoskeletal pain are more as you are having trauma history.Try to follow these for musculoskeletal pain.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water on affected part.6. Wear chest belt so that minimal movements occur."

My question is will my period still come if it was already starting to while I m on primolut? Or will primolut delay it and it will come after my 10 day course? Thank you :) Doctor: Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% fool proof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum HCG determination to rule this out in view of your tummy cramping and back pain with tender breasts before labeling it as a premenstrual symptoms. An ultrasound of the abdomen would also be helpful in ruling this out.Usually it is not normal for the periods to occur when you are on hormonal preparations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef."
