Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, In order to know the status of hemoglobin and other blood parameters, hologram and peripheral blood smear needs to be done. In anemia is still present, the type of anemia has to be determined by peripheral blood examination. Treatment of the anemia depends on the type of anemia. For rest of the conditions, like not talking, difficulty in walking and decreased appetite, you need to consult your physician for all these problems. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

I woke up in night with severe rectal pain and light headedness. I now have aching cramps in lower abdomen and it is sore to touch. This has happened before. I sometimes have red bloody discharge with mucous. Doctor has previously said she doesn t see anything from rectal exam.

Hi, As there can be many causes, depends on what factors are associated with it. It can be because of 1. Polyp 2. Mass 3. Ulcerative colitis 4.Crohn's Disease 5. Repeated anal sex etc. I would like to know if you have other symptoms e.g. Joint pain, skin problems, rapid weight loss, eyes problem, mouth ulcers. In my opinion get Colonoscopy and stool test done and discuss with gastroenterologist. Hope my answer will be helpful for you Chat Doctor.

|
HelloThanks for query. You seem to be confused about low sperm count (Oligospermia) or No sperm (Azoospermia). Have you done your semen analysis and what has been reported. Absence of sperm indicates that there are no sperms are being produced by Testicles. Whereas Oligospermia indicates the quantity of sperms (Sperm count)is less than normal range. Please repeat your semen analysis to confirm the same. If your testicles are small you need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and hormonal assessment to rule out hypogonadism which may be the basic cause of absence of sperms in your semen.

Hi, I am 23 years old, I have a 4 month old little girl!! I noticed when i was around 30 weeks pregnant i had a lump in my left breast.. I asked my gyno and she said it was milk build up (something to that extent) i still have the lump!! I am getting a little nervous, i dont want it to be cancer.. I know my percent of having breast cancer at my age in very little!!! It doesnt hurt to touch but it does make me sick when i feel it!!! please help!!!
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Is understandable to be nervous about having a lump in your breast at any age. You are correct in your knowledge that breast cancer under the age of 30 is extraordinarily rare, however any lump in the breast that is present for more than short period of time really should be evaluated. It is not recommended that mammograms be performed in women who are breast-feeding because the calcium in your milk can sometimes cause abnormalities on the mammogram that mimic cancer. However, ultrasound, a diagnostic test similar to that which are baby got while you are pregnant, can be performed on your breast to see if the lump is the cyst, or a solid mass. A specialist in diseases of the breast would be a reasonable person to see for this evaluation if your GUN doctor is not willing or able to properly examine you and refer you for the ultrasound. However, I do want to reassure you that most palpable lumps found in women who are pregnant or breast-feeding are due to some clogging or other issues of the milk glands and are rarely associated with cancer. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was reassuring. Best wishes and good luck,

Hi, My father has High BP and chest infections,,,also have light asthema...now I came to know that steriods have developed into some deep infection in chest and has some puss under the armpitA local doctor cleaned the puss....I wanto know about complications he might have?
|
Hello share your concern this cold be infected lymph node or an axillary abscessing my opinion you should take him to a general surgeon for examination and a battery for tests like hemoglobin CBC ESR pus for culture and sensitivity so that causing pathogen or bacteria can be isolated, and proper antibiotics can be advised accordingly enlarged infected lymph node could be related to infection or metastasis due to a cancer, so you should not ignore this and this has to be treated appropriately more information you can upload me a complete medical history or a photograph Hope this helps him wishing him a very good health take care

Wet dreams don t affect a man s health .. In my case whenever I masterbate then practice football later on the same day or even 3 days later I feel weaker and I never manage to complete my team s run in training, so I become physically weaker or lose stamina. Do wet dreams cause that too? In both cases.. how can I recover my lost power as soon as possible to produce my normal form in football training/matches? Like what should I eat/drink
|
Hi, Occasion wet Chat Doctor. Over masturbation however can lead chronic fatigue. I suggest you to rule out other causes of fatigue like anemia by complete blood count. If it comes normal then also investigate with serum calcium estimation, SEPT, GOT estimation and urea, creatinine estimation. Underlying because specific treatment is priority. Before playing sport eat some energy rich fruits like one or two bananas. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, about two weeks ago I found a large red lump on the back of my right thigh, the next day I had another 3 on my right leg and 3 on my left. They ve now started to turn into bruises. They re very itchy and burn an awful lot, particularly at night. I ve not been using any different soaps/shower gels, do you know what it could be? Thanks
|
Hi, greetings from Chat Doctor. I think you may have been suffering from allergy to food or some environmental allergens which initially start in a small area to spread other parts of body. They are very itchy and affect you a lot. You have to immediately go to the emergency department and take antihistamine injection along with HY Chat Doctor. You have to go to a dermatologist or allergy specialist to find out the cause for allergy. You need to take antihistamine tablets till symptoms subside.

I have a small ish White lump with a red ring around it on the roof of my mouth toward the left side, it hurts quite alot and hurts to spit and swallow . I have had it for about 8 weeks. I have recently been to the dentist and they said the lump was nothing but they said that I needed a deep filling redone as it had chipped and become decayed again. they took an x ray to find this. I am 14 and very worried about the lump and getting the tooth refilled as I have a fear of the dentist. Any help as to what this is would be very appreciated. Thank you
|
Dear Millie It looks like you are having periapical abscess. This happens when the decay has become deep and reached the pulp and progressed to tip of the root. The pus is now probably Chat Doctor. Since the X-ray has been taken, it would clearly show how deep has the decay reached and whether that is the cause for your lump. In your case most likely root canal treatment is required. The second possibility is that the tooth is decayed beneath the filling and the tooth has chipped off leading to food and plaque accumulation, which might have caused gingival abscess (abscess of gums) . In which case redoing of filling is sufficient provided the decay has not reached the pulp (X-ray will confirm this). In either case you need not have to be scared, dentist will anesthetist the tooth during the procedure (if he doesn't then insist on it). Visit dentist regularly and get yourself examined to prevent future problems. Take care regards

Hi, I`m Lee, a 41 year old male. Diagnosed with endocarditis(mild regurgetation) in 1991 with enlarged right atrium. Progressed to severe tricuspid regurgatation in 2000. In 2001 had tricuspid valve replaced with prostheric valve. Since surgery, I`ve been great, free from medication and led a active life with no symptoms(apart from odd chest pains & rapid heart beat once ot twice a year). Last computer heart scan was 2006 all normal. started to to feel mild breathlessness & tired in 2010. Computer scan in Feb 2010 revealed Heartbeat 125pm, severely enlarged right atriam, mild tricuspid regurgatation with atrial flutter/fib. I`m due for catheter ablation in September 2011 to cure atrial fib. My cardiologist thinks old scaring from previous surgery caused A Fib. My question is
|
Hello, the precipitating cause for atrial fibrillation in your case would have been the scar of previous surgery. The pre disposing factor is the enlarged atrium. Generally medicine should be enough to treat and prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation / flutter. However, ablation is a good option for someone who doesn't want to take medicine for the same. The success of ablation in your case would be best at 85 %. Yes the ablation will help to reveal the cause and Your doctor will try treating all the Chat Doctor. No surgery to reduce the size is not a viable option. Regards

I am 55 year old male I had jaunce 15 gays back/ It was diagnosed as cholestasis jaundice as my alkaline phosphatase was arised two times of normal Bilirubin was 4.0mgs;100ml SGPT 180 units its normal lab value is up to 40 units Sonography shows gall bladder not visible probably shruken due to chronic cholecystitis Thre is also stone in common bile duct. I had vommiting and pain though not severe was there how Can get relief from all my disease to whom I should contact in Hyderabad or Nagpur
|
Hi, This obviously indicates condition called choledocholithiasis, and it may be signed of serious bile duct blockage, so you should see doctor and have ERCP done which can also be used for stone extraction. If this is unsuccessful then you also may need surgical procedure. But in every case, further tests and therapy are required. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Wish you a good health. Kindly regards, Ivan R. Rammstein

Iv just bought a new horse and just started ridding again but my back is hurting again. I went to the docs and we think i might of fractured it any advice on what to do as i was just given pain killers
|
Hi, I have gone through your query. You should get digital x-ray of affected part of back don in AP and Lateral view done. Send it to me, I will tell you from the x-ray that whether your any vertebrae is fracture or not or there is just a soft tissue injury. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link

When i had my daughter 4 months ago something pop in my lower back. For a while it hurt and my doctor told me that it was prob soar from laying in bed! Now it pops back and forth and i can feel it mostly when i sit up straight? but now but right leg is going numb? do you know what this could be?
|
Hello... I come through your question...backache an doctor. Numbness in the one leg. Let me explain to you.Backbone has spinal cord in it and these bone has transits for the nerves which supply the lower half of the body. If there is something compressing on these nerves then it produces pain and often this pain may radiate to legs, and also you feel the numbness. I will advise doing a CT scan of lumber spine and then consult a neurosurgeon.

Good day Dr, Ive had pain for a week in my throat, no whiteness (infection) just a lump thats very irritating and painful. Cannot swallow, sleep nor breathe well. Also facing a lot of uncontrollable anger at the moment. I am a smoker. Could this be cancer? I freaked out because google pictures match.
|
Smokers are always at risk for throat cancer and a variety of other cancers. The symptoms that you have described are suspicious for cancer especially in the setting of your smoking habits. However, this is not definitive, and it may just be a throat infection which you cannot see with naked eye. All you need to do is consult an oncosurgeon and get an endoscopy done. This is an OLD procedure and will settle the issue. Also, try to quit smoking and a lot of your problems will be solved including the anger.

Hello , I woke up today with a severe cheek pain, then I realized that flesh has come over my wisdom tooth! the wisdom tooth was visible till few days back but now its partially covered with flesh. Do I need to see a dentist? what should I do? Will I need a surgery or something?? Awaiting you reply. Thank you. Regards
|
Hello there.... Flesh that covers your wisdom tooth is called the periodontal flap....any inflammation to the flap would result in Peritonitis... As and when you occlude this flap comes between your upper and lower tooth and owing to the repeated friction it enlarges in size...that leads to small pocket between the flap and the tooth underneath, resulting in accumulation of food beneath the flap...this would result in abscess if left untreated.... Pain your experiencing is because of the inflammation... There are two ways of handling it- Operculectomy- procedure done under local anesthesia, where the flap around the tooth is excised, and the tooth is retained... But there are all chances for the flap to regrow resulting in the same symptoms you are experiencing now... This is now outdated...for a permanent solution get your wisdom tooth removed... Consult an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for the procedure...

Hello I am 23years and i would like to know whether can gain height at this age and how much possible it is?Also i would like to know whether i can consume ayurvedic herbal growth with any other alopatChatDoctoredicine?Isnt there any side-effect of using this with any other medicine?
|
Hi there, thanks for posting your query on this forum. No medication can increase your height so please don't fall for such medications either Allopathic/Ayurvedic or Homeopathic. This is because the epiphyses of long bones get fused by the age of 24 years in males, also the production of growth hormone stops by this age. Good diet & nutrition along with stretching exercises is known to improve one's height in few individuals. Thanks &

I had a CT lung scan yesterday. I am a long time smoker. I was called today to set up an appointment for another CT scan- this time of the chest. Does his mean that they probably saw signs of cancer and want to see how far it has spread.? It was after hours and I can t get hold of my doctor.
|
Hi thanks for your question. There is no doubt that cigarette smoking causes cancer, besides many more problems, But ordering for repeat CT scan doesn't means cancer. There could be many more reasons for which your physician wants to repeat the scan. Maybe he/ She wants more description of the findings for which CT was ordered, or he wants some missing details to be looked into, and finally he wants contrast study of the disease, in which scan is done after injecting a dye to confirm or rule out cancer Hope this answers your question

I have too much pain in my tooth , I took Voltaren 75 at 2 PM today and then went to a doctor and he gave me another pain killer (Cataflam 50) until the operation tomorrow, so I took Cataflam 50 at 9 PM. Cataflam 50 doesn t seem to work at all, i still have too much pain, can I take Voltaren 75 again after two hours only from Cataflam 50?
|
Hello, i read your problem, as you have lots of pain in your tooth you took painkiller Voltaren 75, and you got relief.........but after taking Catalan 50 you did not get relief at all .......so you can take another Voltaren 75 to get relief from pain........but I want to let you know this pain you have is because of infection ....and if you have swelling and pus, you will get relief after Chat Doctor. ........painkillers will give you temporary relief only......take care

my 2 year baby boy is suffering from urinal problem. his urine test report shows 40-50 pus cells, acidic in nature & bacteria ++++. But he no fever. Actually doctor told us about the probability of his operation as his skin on the urinal point is not going backward.Another doctor told us to conduct the urine routine examination once again before starting any treatment. At the moment he is suffering from loose motions, i don t know might be because of infection. please guide us??
|
Hello, I AGREE with opinion of second urine report. As for the fibrosis, i.e. the penis tip being small, many boys have it, and we can try a cream called mometasone application for 14 days, to increase the size of hole. If that fails we may still wait and watch. Kindly Urine R/M as well as Urine C/S test before taking any step furtherDisclaimer

Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorSince you have a family history of male pattern hair loss, you will be more prone to similar problems. Other causes to consider are hormonal(thyroid etc.), any lifestyle or residence change, stress, any history of recent illness like typhoid, any chemical procedures, etc. These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth. For now, you can apply HAIR4U solution to scalp with hair supplements daily like Collinear or Seraglio Men. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months. Since you have not taken treatment before, do continue the treatment advised. Do consult a dermatologist as well, to assess your type of hair loss and to give you treatment based on the results. They may also suggest some routine blood tests if required.is you see no improvement, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP.hair transplant etc., as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation. Hope this helps.

I feel a fluttering in my chest, left side, right below the rib cage. It is intermittent, faster than my heart beat, and lasts from 5 minutes to a half hour. No pain at all. I can look down below my bottom left rib and actually see the chest area of the flutter move up and down with each random thump. My wife checks my heart beat over my heart and the beat is steady. The flutter(thump) and my heartbeat are not at all synchronized.
|
Let me explain ...you have fluttering on left side chest AMD you have seen it ...when your wife checked pulse was alright ...now one thing is clear that you are having arrhythmia of heart ...you have to go to your doctor .he will check your blood pressure and ECG ...if both are ok then you should be put on holder monitoring in this a monitor is put and 24 hrs ECG is recorded and analyzed to see any random problem ...in meanwhile avoid tea coffee alcohol

I have been having anal issues for the past 5-6 weeks, itching, bleeding , and now some type of yellowish puss. I ve used hydrogen peroxide and it rbubbles up and burns. With inspections thru mirrors I ve noticed white splotches around the anus, any idea what s going on?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! With all these symptoms described, there are a number of clinical diagnoses like, warts, anal fissures, pin worms [seat worms], hemorrhoids, STDs ulcers, diets like spicy diet, constipation -induced symptoms, candida fungal infection, or depending on sexual habits, ano-receptive intercourse. Please note that all may NOT be applicable in your case; a detailed history with clinical examination, including photocopy may be required. HY Chat Doctor. My advice is, now please don't delay it any more [It's already 5-6 weeks]. Please consult a surgeon for treatment ASAP. Good luck.

Hi!I have a beauty spot at the back of my hip bone it is a little bit big.What Im worried about is that i realize that one hair grew now in it .Does it mean that it could be a cancer?Or at least do i have to be worried?Im 34 yrs ,Weight 58kg,Height 1.58
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A single hair growing on a mole with no other change in appearance is less likely to be a cancer. However, it will help to see the mole clinically and then make a confirmation. The size and growth of the mole in recent times is also important. If it is a small mole then I suggest you closely observe the mole by either asking your relative to check it every 3 months or take a picture and compare each time to see any changes in appearance. For larger moles it is better to consult a dermatologist and take a clinical opinion and if required a skin biopsy from the mole. This is a painless procedure and done to look for cells in the mole with signs of cancer. You can also get your mole removed completely by getting radiofrequency ablation sessions. This requires few sessions and is a permanent procedure done by the dermatologist. Please do not worry.

At night things become worst .. his thigh muscles becomes stiff and very painful so that he could not sleep.. What could be the reason?
|
Hello, Thanks for the query, I understand your problem All these symptoms that you have listed are mostly related to Parkinson disease itself. This is the natural history of the disease. The fluctuation that you have mentioned could be related to OFF period after syn dopa that generally happens in patients with this disease. He would require further dose adjustment of his medications after careful clinical examination. Further, I will like you to tell that there is another option for treatment of Parkinson disease called as DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION. You need to consult a movement disorder specialist (Neurologist with advanced training in this disease) for the same. I am sorry that I do not know your location.

Hi.. My name is Harold and I m 61.. I came to my studio about an hour ago and had to come up short flight of stairs while carrying equipment.. I was not winded and my heart rate was in the 80 s.. About 20 mins later I went downstairs to the bathroom.. When I finished I came back upstairs only this time I felt my heart beating faster.. I took my heart rate and it was 146.. Well, being that I suffer from anxiety I became concern.. I figured it was the restrroom along with the food I may have eaten prior to arriving.. Well, I ve been sitting for approx 15 mins and my heart rate is still in the low 100 s and it s making me anxious.. Could this be the anxiety? I have no other associated pain except a little strain in the upper right side of my back and that s from carrying all that equipment.. I hope..
|
Hello Mr. Harold. It can be due to anxiety, but other causes have to be ruled out by doing necessary tests. I would like to know details like history of diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol, Chat Doctor. It is good if you can approach a GP for thorough clinical evaluation and tests as mentioned above. Do not worry it can be due to a simple cause. Good day. If you have any more doubts I would be happy to help you.

I ve had severe ear pain that started yesterday, today I can t seem to catch my breath and I am having pain under my right breast. Pain is worse if I move or try to get a deep breath. I have used my proair inhaler and some ear drops with no relief. Temp is 100.8under toung.. I have asthma and I m a brittle diabetic glucose is 212 .my question is what is wrong with me.?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Ear pain can be due to an infection in the ear, this would cause a fever and can be associated with chest infections as well. Infection would cause the blood sugar to increase. Pain in the chest on movement and taking a deep breath may be due to muscle injury, pleuritic (inflammation of the lining around the lung), Costco Chat Doctor. It would be best to see your doctor to be treated. I hope this helps

Hello my physician recently advised after a consult I have irritated keratosis with mild squamous atypia what does this mean and she advised cryotherapy. I have been addressing this issue to physicians since 6-7 years ago and finally a new physician was able to tell me what this was. I am a little worried she told me within the next 20 years it could turn into skin cancer. Is this true
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have keratitis with mild squamous atypical. Keratitis means there is increased in thickness of keratin layer of skin. You have mild atypical. So it is not cancer. But it can turn into squamous cell carcinoma. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. You should go for regular follow up. 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.

The inside of my jaw hurts.. maybe my wisdom teeth are coming out but I dont know for sure.. I have had mumps as a child and sore tonsils more than once due to viral infection. This time its the connecting tissue between lower and upper jaw at the far end of my molars. Its located exactly in the thin ligament-like tissue right where my teeth end.. I am a smoker and the pain sometimes increases when I smoke.. I brush my teeth once everyday. Pain is only on the right side. Please help.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent pain in jaw and probable chances are that you have temporomandibular joint problem, it could be due to clenching of jaws or grinding of teeth and stress is one of the major factor for your condition. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit dentist once and get it examined properly. If it is dental related issue like due to particular tooth infection, abscess or cyst, then go for IOWA and check the extent of infection and start Root Canal Treatment. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity by brushing and flossing. If it is related to TMJ joint, then mouth exercises such as TENS physical therapy is very effective. Take muscle relaxants for this. If this condition really troubling you and is extremely painful go for surgery of joint for proper manipulation but after oral surgeon consultation. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

My mothernlaw has copd and emphysema and has terrible pain in center of her chest that radiates to the middle of her back. Dr thinks its muscle spasms and gave her muscle relaxants but they are not helping at all. It only hurts when she moves and not when she is still.
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you have been suffering from COPD and emphysema, there respiratory system needs a thorough assessment. Also for this condition the muscle spasm and fatigue are common due to less oxygen supply to the tissues. The muscles of respiration in this condition have to really struggle up to balance the need of the oxygen for this body and goes onto fatigue soon. Physical therapy Should help you by thorough assessment and Pulmonary rehabilitation which will retrain the muscles of respiration and balance the needs of body too. In my clinical practice, patients with COPD and emphysema are recommended for physical therapy and Pulmonary rehabilitation. They respond well. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Rubella is also called German measles. It is caused by a virus that is spread from person to person when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Rubella is also spread by direct contact with the nose or throat secretions of an infected person. If a woman gets rubella during pregnancy, particularly during the first three months, her baby is at risk of having serious birth defects. Hope the information provided would be useful.

Hi Just wanted to let you ALL know that although I asked for help regarding my son s illness , you can review the question by seeing my account,...although this was the response
|
I think your son got abdominal symptoms due to some other ailment. You thought its cos of invitation as that's the only treatment he was undergoing. Its human nature to co-relate to extremely different things which co-existed. No medicine, no material, which is used / recommended by any doctor comes in the market without knowing it's all positive and negative effects. Get complete medical examination of your son done by a good physician i.e. MD (medicine) and get all the blood tests and sonographies as told by him. Remember one thing, if its due to allergy, its symptoms will first show up locally i.e. in oral cavity, lips, cheeks etc. I wish a rapid recovery of your son.

It is dark red and 3 are circles and one loops out of a circle and there are small spots around the area, is this ringworm because i had it on my shoulder before this rash on my thigh appeared or something more serious. Is there any way to get a picture of it to you?

Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion without picture I can't give you any suggestions.

And can apply clotrimazole cream after due consultation from your doctor. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you.

Dear Doctor,Can one suffer from multiple personality disorders simultaneously? In the past couple months, I have come to think that I have ADHD, anti-social personality disorder, narcissism, depression, and possibly a bipolar personality disorder. Trust me, I am not one of those hypochondriac people whore always trying to find whats wrong with them. On the contrary, until 2 or 3 years ago, I thought there was absolutely or almost nothing wrong with me. You will probably advise that I seek psychiatric help (and I couldnt agree more), but the problem is that two or three doctors Ive seen so far believe that, apart from depression, I am essentially all right (just because I dont hear voices

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you trust those two three doctors. They are trained to diagnose mental issues and all three cannot be wrong. You are not Hyperion Chat Doctor. The symptoms presenting itself made you to think about it over and over again, and it became obsessive. Obsession leads to anxiety and anxiety brings on the symptoms again. You need counseling and psychotherapy. I shall provide you with the required counseling and psychotherapy techniques online, to overcome these problems. Please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Thanks. I have had pain on my left side just below my waist in the hip area for about a week. It hurts constantly and especially if I try to straighten up or reach up for things. Just wondering if it could be a kidney infection. I recently had a ct scan with contrast.

I had the implanon inserted 3 years ago. After 1 and a half years I had it removed due to excessive weight gain. Or so I thought. A recent ultrasound showed that the doctor actually broke the impalnon on half and assumed he had taken it all out when he preformed the removal. I have since had the other half removed by a surgeon. My question is, even though there was only half an implanon in my arm, does it still work as a contraceptive? As me partner and I have had unprotected sex for the past 2 years and I have only had half an implanon on my arm. My other question is, how long after removal should I begin to start ovulating again??and when will the hormones from the implanon fully leave my body/system??
|
Hi, Implant is a progestin only demo contraceptive, the dose available being sufficient to avoid ovulation, so it was effective in your case even half size. It could do so because, Implant has three-fold contraceptive effect, It acts by- avoiding ovulation Making sperm activity difficult by thick cervical mucus. Making implantation difficult After removal of Implant, normal ovulation mostly occurs in six weeks time. Fertility returns to what it was before Implant insertion. Thanks

I notice that under my tongue, it looks like I have a rash, when I stick out my tongue it feels ruff, like sand paper. Under the tongue is lots of small bumps but it doesn t show to much, and some of the veins under the tongue it has deep red blood spots. My mouth feel dry and irritated, and I could feel it also in the inter part of the month. What could of cause it? What should I do?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The small bums like deep red spots under the tongue or floor of the mouth can be because of the inflamed salivary gland duct opening secondary to any stones near the duct opening causing erosion or the ulceration of the mucosa. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get an causal radiograph and biography to rule out the stone and other pathologies in the salivary gland. Once it is diagnosed we can treat accordingly by surgically removing the stone.Meanwhile you can take symptomatic treatment like topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (Anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food and if the paid is severe you can take systemic analgesics like diclofenac 50\u00a0mg BID for 3 days. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

i m 40 year old my both kidney get srink(small in size) since 1999. at present my s.creatinine is 4.0,blood urea is 114 and HB% is 6.9. i fill very tired and wikness. presently itake allopathy medicine like calcium tab,B.P tab amlodipine 10 mg.folic acid and iron tab. but cant relife. Doctors advise that you should go for dylisis. So please advise me what to do ? Anuradha deviBaridih JamshedpurPH
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to know the type of kidney disease you are suffering from. If hemoglobin is 6.9 then you have severe anemia, and it needs to be corrected. Blood urea 114 and serum creatinine 4.0 also needs attention. It is important to consult a nephrologist and then proceed with management. The kidney shrinking since 1999 needs to be followed up with an ultrasound scan. Dialysis is a procedure by which the blood creatinine level can be brought down in an emergency. The nephrologist might also request a kidney biopsy to know the exact cause of kidney disease in your case. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes then that must also be controlled with medications. Fluid input and out put along with proteinuria also should be measured. Depending on serum creatinine levels, dialysis is usually repeated till the levels are maintained.

The corner of my big toe (right foot) had a sort of bump. I think it s a bit swollen. It is also yellowish with some watery substance coming out of it. It also is very painful whenever pressure is applied to that area.It s been there for almost a month and a half now after removing the ingrown toenail myself about three months ago. I tried washing that area with soap and water, and tried cleansing it with some peroxide , alcohol wipes, and taking some pills for the pain to lessen. The area is still infected with the corner of the big toe being yellowish and watery.Any Home treatment ideas?And if not, any professional help / ideas?
|
Hello, Thanks for your query. It looks like possible fungal infection. Toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a very common problem. Symptoms include inflammation, swelling, yellowing, thickening or crumbling of the nail. There are certain home remedies, but it would be good to visit dermatologist and have special antifungal cream prescribed. Apple cider vinegar is mildly acidic and can help prevent toenail fungus from spreading. At the same time, it kills bacteria and fungi. So you can try with mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water. Soak your toenail in this solution for 30 minutes daily. When done, Chat Doctor. When used daily for a few weeks, you will notice improvement very quickly. I Hope I have helped you with your concerns. Wish you a good health.

I am a 20 year old male, Im not a regular Meth smoker just tried it once before but this past week i did meth everyday. I havent smoked since Thursday and now my upper back aches, I have chest pain and an upper abdominal stab like feeling. What could it be? Should I go to the hospital?
|
The simple answer to your question is yes. All amphetamines can significantly increase blood pressure which can cause damage to blood vessels and the heart. In addition, the activation of that fight or flight feeling can case muscle spasms/pain. Given your current symptoms you need to be evaluated to rule out anything like a heart attack or an abdominal aneurysm. In addition, given your persistent use for 1 week, you likely need medical attention to help you wean yourself from this Chat Doctor. I hope this helps

I have been taking 4 oncovite tablets a day as part of Dr Lamm s treatment regimine with bcg after bladder cancer tumeor removal. I finished my 3rd maintenance bcg treatment and am wondering whether I should continue oncovite, cut back from 4/day or what.
|
HiOncovite dosage after treatment with BCG therapy for bladder tumor is once daily. It is a multivitamin, Never take more than the recommended dose of a multivitamin. Avoid taking more than one multivitamin product at the same time unless your doctor tells you to. Taking similar vitamin products together can result in a vitamin overdose or serious side effects. Many multivitamin products also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Minerals (especially taken in large doses) can cause side effects such as tooth staining, increased urination, stomach bleeding, uneven heart rate, confusion, and muscle weakness or limp feeling. Take your multivitamin with a full glass of water. The chewable tablet must be chewed or allowed to dissolve in your mouth before swallowing. Measure the liquid form of multivitamins using a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular tablespoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Liquid multivitamins may sometimes be mixed with water, fruit juice, or infant formula (but not milk or other dairy products). It is important to take multivitamins regularly to get the most benefit. Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the liquid medicine from freezing. Store multivitamins in their original container. Storing multivitamins in a glass container can ruin the medication. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your high bilirubin level is not due to malnourishment or vitamin D deficiency.

It will give exact cause of your jaundice. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

Hello, I am a 35yo female who feels that my emotions are out of control. At times all I want to do is cry. My mind is constantly going about all kinds of things.(nothing in particular) I am always tired. I have a hard time concentrating on anything. I get angry at times. I have a history of high blood pressure, asthma, not taking any medications. I had a partial hysterectomy about a year ago. I just feel really unstable. Could my hormones be out of wack?

Hi greetings...It's disheartening to know your condition. As you are suffering from problem with your emotions irrelevant thoughts' difficulty to concentrate getting irritable at times and feeling fatigue, these might be the part of depression scenario...a person suffering from depression will suffer from Macedonia, Dull mood, decreased appetite, difficulty to concentrate, negative thoughts, ideas of hopelessness ideas of helplessness, sleep disturbance and his patience might have been decreased so that he becomes irritable frequently... Reasons for your suffering might be long-standing hypertension and asthma which also causes a person feel low, and so It's important to take antihypertensives regularly and medications to relieve you from asthma as on needed...It's better to consult psychiatrist and take medications to come out of your suffering and also psychologist to take cognitive behavior therapy which helps you to gain control over your thoughts, emotions,feelings and behavior...go for a walk in the morning daily and exercise for 2 to 3 days per week so that your neurotransmitter levels in the brain will be improving...all the best for your future endeavors...hope I solved your query and feel free to ask any further...

Hi, I am a Medical student...my mom is suffering from a serious condition i.e pressure in the head as well as bleeding from the ear ..this all happend when i took her to a cardiologist for check up..high B.P depression and arthritus was confirmed...after taking the medication prescribed by the doctor...the same condtion is suffered i.e pressure in the head as well as bleeding from the ear..sir what could be the cause of it????
|
Hello ! I read your question and understand you concern. This symptoms may be caused by uncontrolled high blood pressure. Have you measured her blood pressure during the episodes? This would be very important for the diagnosis. Other causes would be an ear infection like Otis or mastitis, but she would also have problems with hearing or fever. I would like to know if she has had any problems with bleeding in other part of the body before, because this could also be caused by a problem with coagulation or the intake of anticoagulants. A full blood work and a brain CT scan would be necessary. Hope to have been helpful! Best Wishes,

I need to know if Single Umbilical Artery is related to x-linked icthyosis. I have three children, two boys with the disorder. My sister is 4 1/2 months pregnant and recent ultrasound said that she only had one artery in her umbilical cord
|
Hits quite common to have fears if any of family member suffering with congenital disorders.I can understand your tension. Single umbilical artery is usually associated with cardiac, renal, skeletal and intestinal problems in baby. There is no studied data regarding association of ichthyosis with it. As for I know it's not related. Nothing to worry. Go for anomalous scan at 22wks.It's important to evaluate for heart, kidneys, bones & intestines. Thank youth best regardsVasundhara

Hello, I got my wisdom teeth out on thursday (4 days ago). Today I was treated for what they thought was \"dry socket\". They filled the hole with something, that tastes disgusting. This was about 6 hours ago. The pain is back, and my temple is swollen and causing a headache and earache. Is there anything more i can do?
|
Hello, Chat Doctor. You indicate symptoms of an infection and the spread of inflammation. You should be on an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory pain medication. I prefer to write a prescription for amoxicillin. Your dentist would decide the best antibiotic for your condition. I suggest requesting a prescription pain medication for use at night and to keep available if your pain increases. You can take nonprescription anti-inflammatory medications such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen. The antihistamine Ben

I had CA Ovary last year. It was treated with surgery and 6 cycles of chemotherapy . In my recent pelvis and abdomen scan it was found that i have mild hepatomegaly . report also said that i have fatty liver with focal fat sparring area adjacent to gall bladder fossa. what does this mean and what is the next step. I have been a diabetic since my chemotherapy .
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor Fatty liver is the most common incidental finding during ultrasound scan of abdomen. It is a very benign condition. It is unrelated with your previous history of carcinoma ovary. For this, you have to do a liver function test. If all are within normal limit, then you need nothing. But, in case of abnormality in the liver function test, you should consult with a gastroenterologist. You should avoid alcohol and fatty foods.

Hello, Thanks for writing to us. I have gone through your query and would like to offer my opinion. Natural ovulation usually resumes in a couple of months after stopping hormone contraception. Since you are quite young, you need not go for assisted methods now itself. Just continue with healthy lifestyle and prenatal vitamins. If you fail to conceive even after a year, see a specialist for further management. Hope this helps.

Hello, I recently developed a very itchy penis which when I itch, leads to red patchs which sometimes become red and glossy. It is very irritable and causes pain when i have intercourse. I also have developed itchy thighs.. It started just at the top and has now developed over most of my thighs. The itching comes and goes and shows in small patches , not lumps but itchy red spots. i am worried that it is an std as i have had a lot of unprotected sex recently (lesson learnt) but the symptoms don t relate to any std so i m puzzled!? i also have what i thought was joggers nipple? very itchy nipple and also my face sometimes has dry patches on the eyelids and near the hair receding line? It has been going on for the last 3 months and as i m still in China and not a native speaker, i can t really find any treatment or diagnosis. please help?

HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand this, these are two different conditions and that might not be due to unsafe intercourse, but this could be some allergic rash might have developed at the same time in two different areas, just wait till few more days the chances of getting alright on its own is likely, if this does not go away, then you can use \"Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day\" hope this information helps you, have a nice day.

Woke up with a discoloration on my left hand and some swelling around my middle finger . Now it looks like I have a huge bruise on my hand from knuckle on my middle finger to whole back of hand to the wrist . I do not remember hitting it on anything. I was lifting a canoe while I was camping a few days ago. I am on blood pressure medication and one half of a water pill plus baby aspirin .This is because I only have one functioning kidney due to chemo damage to my left kidney
|
Hi, Please get the renal function tests done and if it is normal you need not worry about having single kidney. Usually the remaining kidney compensate for the other non-functioning kidney. The bruise might be because of aspirin. However you have to consult your physician for definitive diagnosis. Take care not to take too many analgesics without prescription as they will have adverse effect on kidneys. Regularly monitor your kidney function. Regards

My name is Rajesh Kumar and am writing to you in context to my 8 year old son, Kumar Rishit. He does not keep well with his health quite often, has weaker immunity and is also allergic. I got your reference from the SGRH Website and hope you are the right Doctor that I am writing to. Hope you would respond to it, and then we can fix-up an appointment accordingly. Rishit has a history of poor health, as I would like to list his hospitalizations as follows - May 2007

Your son has recurrent bacterial infections which requires hospitalization and few of them can cause the pleural effusions like staph. And strep. So there seems to be an immunodeficiency not with the cellular type because the wight count is high, but with the antibodies, which is caused by hypogammaglobenemia.another uncommon disorder which can give chest and abdominal pain, fever and effusions is familial middetrainan fever, its uncommon outside the Middle East, but it can occur, so I recommend the following tests

My daughter sears haven been pierced for 10+years. Today when she took one pair of earrings out her right ear hole for her earrings started to bleed but the other did not. What would cause it. She put another pair of earrings in her ears today and then tonight took them out and bleed again. We cleaned with wound cleaner and rubbing alcohol and then it stops. Very weird. Please advise any advice you may have.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint bleeding from airhole can be due to infection in the area of ear-piercing while at times tightly packed earrings can lead to lack of air flow to the area of ear-piercing and can lead to inflammation and slight area of necrosis. I would suggest you to avoid wearing the earrings for a few days and clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment over it. Cool compresses can also be relieving. You should wear earrings a bit loosely fastened so that air can flow easily. You should also wear gold or plastic earrings as they are inert materials and will not cause allergic reaction. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

Im an 18 year old female of average height and weight (around 5 foot 4 and fits a UK size 8-10). I have no serious medical history. I recently had sex and noticed a large ball-like lump on my anus afterwards, which went down after a few days, leaving some excess skin, which seems to grow back to a lump when I need to empty my bowels... Im really confused about this as it soon becomes excess skin again, and is completely painless. Im just wondering whats caused it and if theres any way of getting rid of it?
|
Hi, Dear,thanks for the query. Some more info is needed before cause could be told-as after the natural sex there is no reason-to get the anal lump. However, the lump which is there might be old -anal problem-mostly old anal fissure with a tag covering it ./or could be sentinel pile indicating its chronic presence. It needs simple excision of the sentinel pile under local. If its with anal fissure-which any surgeon could tell you, then-Anal Stretching under anesthesia. Thnks again. Wellcome again. Hope you are satisfied with the answer.

Even though I am sleeping well each night, I am still feeling like I have had no sleep for days, I have no energy at all and am finding it hard to concentrate could I be low in iron - this seem to have come on me all of a sudden over the last two days.

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Yes, iron deficiency leads on to anemia and this will cause fatigue, tiredness, breathing difficulty, bone pains, palpitations etc.2. You need to get your hologram done to identify the anemia and type of anemia. Hope you have no bleeding in urine or stools. Get your iron studies done for confirmation of iron deficiency.3. Improve iron in diet through fish, egg, reign. Also take iron supplements along with It C to improve absorption. Check reticulocyte count after 15 days to see for improvement. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

I am having muscle pull in the hip today morning. The Ortho Doctor has given prescription for Ultracet and Rablet. I am a kidney transplanted person for 12 years. Shall I take these medicines for pain? or will it have any side effects on my transplanted kidney?
|
Hi, Both of these Chat Doctor. Attract (tramadol) is an opioid painkiller which is normally cleared by the liver and hence preferred for moderate to severe pain in patients on transplanted kidney. Remember its maximum dose should not exceed 50 mg orally twice a day. Tablet (omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of acidity related issues of the stomach. It is also cleared by the liver hence proven to be safe and efficient in patients on transplanted kidney. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have severe pain under my left ribcage. I cannot take very much pain medicine because my stomach is sensitive. I am disabled with fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, and degenerative arthritis. What could this be? I ve recently had blood tests on my pancreas and liver and they were fine. What do you think?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. Firstly the pain under the left side of the rib cage may be due to Gastritis(Inflammation of the stomach). I advise would be to avoid spicy and greasy food. Prescribe proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. A gastrostomy will help in the diagnosis. Secondly it may be due to pancreatitis(Inflammation of pancreas). Stop smoking and alcohol if any. Blood tests like serum amylase and lipase will help in the diagnosis. Thirdly kidney stones. X-ray of the PUB will help in the diagnosis. Antispasmodic for pain. Increased intake of water is advised. The size and site of the stone determines whether the treatment is medical or surgical. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

My husband is a binge drinker, and now addicted to cocaine. He has high blood pressure and is taking propranolol. He has been in 3 detox centers in the last 6 months. I know mixing these together are harmful but how harmful? I am just waiting for him to get to his low so he will accept treatment.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Propranolol is beta blocker. It will cause reduction in blood pressure and heart rate. Alcohol and cocaine, both are CNS depressants (they suppress brain and its functions). So alcohol and cocaine will also cause hypotension and low pulse rate. So if patient is on propranolol and alcohol and cocaine, chances of hypotension, bradycardia (low pulse rate) and cardiac arrest is more. So better not to take alcohol or cocaine if you are taking propranolol. So counsel your husband to quit alcohol and cocaine because he is taking propranolol. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

My blood work revealed a THS 5.5 ,md wrote prescription for .50 synthroid . Not sure that I am ready to take it . My main complain is extreme fatigue .

Hi, Your symptoms appear to related to stress to me. Thyroid problem, pituitary adenoid and anemia increases chances of having stress and anxiety. Stress can also present with several physical symptoms like fatigue. Start treatment for thyroid problem and anemia. For stress and anxiety assessment and treatment, you can visit psychiatrist. Apart from that take healthy diet, fruits and do aerobic exercise regularly. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.

My daughter is 20 years old and her urine test shows pus cells 20, occult blood trace. She is been prescribed antibiotic, she is resistant to most antibiotics therefore the doctor prescribed her antibiotic the one given to ladies in their pregnancy. Is it safe to take. Will her kidney get affected in this case.
|
Hi, Name of the prescribed antibiotic not mentioned however it appears to be safe for the kidneys. Amoxicillin is commonly prescribed to treat urine infection during pregnancy which is considered to be safe. Assuming that your daughter also takes amoxicillin there is nothing to worry it does not cause any harmful effects on the kidneys. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello. Welcome to Ask A Doctor. I have read your query and here is my advice which I trust will make your infant more comfortable. The best treatment is 5% permethrin cream which should be applied from head to feet. Leave it on her skin for 12 hours before you rinse it off. Permethrin needs to be applied thoroughly in thin, even coat especially to webspaces between fingers and toes, navel, genitals, and the crack between the buttocks. Give a second treatment with permethrin one week later to kill any remaining insects. Be aware that itching can persist for several weeks after treatment. It can be treated with anti-itch(e.g. Prey or Preimage) or 1% HY Chat Doctor. All available over-the-counter. Three more bits of advice, please

Hhi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I had a head on collision with a bike about ten years ago and possibly un-noticed hit my chest against the steering wheel.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case. But better to rule out heart diseases because your pain is on left side of chest. So get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG and 2d echo. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Do following things for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid movements causing pain.2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.3. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. 4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

This requires physical examination to confirm the diagnosis, I would suggest you to apply calamine lotion which will subside your symptoms. Thank you.

For the last three months my blood pressure has been going up a little. It started off at 123/84 then last month it was 118/94 now yesterday it was 110/100...i was told yesterday i have elevated liver enzymes and i have been treated for hypothyroidism for 2 years now...do you have any ideas why the bottom number keeps going up?
|
Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms your diastolic blood pressure values are a little elevated. These changes in blood pressure values could be related to thyroid gland dysfunction. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests

im concerned im having something wrong with my liver. i have a dull uncomfortable pain on my upper right side. i have no gallbladder and just had surgery for appendix to be taken out and ovarian cysts. i am at work and cant make it to the dr. until sunday is this urgent to where i need to go to the ER because thats a absolute last resort until sunday?

The pain described may just be external muscular pain or internal visceral pain, though the chances of it being the latter is higher. Pain in this region can arise from part of the stomach, small intestine, large intestine liver , gall bladder and sometimes the kidneys. If you are feeling severely disabled by it and cannot contact doctor immediately a USG abdomen, if feasible may be helpful to rule out the urgent causes.

Hi Doctor , I am a fit and healthy 59yr old female but today when I went to hang a light weight picture on my wall I got a stabbing pain ijust right of my shoulder pain and it is hard to take a big breath without the pain stabbing me hence my breathing only a little restricted but other wise it remains as a dull type of pain, I know nothing I have done today could have caused this in a physical way. I would ask if I should see a Doctor tomorrow or some ideas of what this may be? I am terribly scared it may be cancer as I it is in my family and I gave up smoking a year ago. Thank you. Yvonne
|
Hi. This is unlikely to be a cancer pain. Since it's a shoulder pain this could be related to cardiac origin (associated with difficulty in breathing) though it's not a common presentation. Cardiac chest pain is typically left sided with pain in the chest, radiating to right border of arm, forearm with breathlessness etc. I suggest meeting your doctor and rule out this possibility with help of EKG/ECG etc. Hope this helps. Take care.

I was prescribed Bactrim/Septran sulfamethoxazole by my Doctor for a ear infection . He asked if I was alergic to sulfer and I didn t know. He prescribed the Bactrim/Septran sulfamethoxazole and said if I had a reaction he would simply switch antibiotics . . well, I had a reaction. After the first pill i noticed some swelling and heaviness in my penis. Soon after the second dose my penis began itch and felt hot, almost on fire. Within a day, my penis swelled horribly with red and purple welts along the shaft and the head. The welts soon erupted into lesions on the shaft and dark purple blotches appeard on the head, which eventually started to bleed . The skin is so sensitive I cannot wear anything without pain. I cannot get an erection without serious pain and sex is out of the question. It s mean simply i have sulfa drug allergy .... can you please have some suggestions for me.?
|
Hi and thanks for the query, Certainly the symptoms you presented with are a clear indication that you are allergic to sulfonamides. It should be part of your reflexes to always inform your physician that you are allergic to sulfonamides. Many Chat Doctor. You might need to take some steroids, local antiseptics and analgesics for now. I suggest you write on the back of your hospital book, always in red that you are allergic to sulfonamides. For now, just consult your family physician for better followup. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.

I am a 60 year old man taking a l lot of medicine for very deep depression and pain from multiple myeloma . Something is not right and I am getting deeper into depression. citalopram 40 mg - have taken for several years olanzapine 5 mg - as needed trazodone 50 mg take each day zolpidem , 10 mg have taken several years Hydrocodone/ APAP 5-500M - as needed
|
Hi, Since your depression is not responding to citalopram 40 mg, you need other interventions. There are three options. The dose of citalopram can be hiked to see if it gives a better response. But this must be done with caution as you are already on a fairly high dose. Secondly, other medicines can be added to citalopram to augment its action, like thyroid hormone, lithium, a second antidepressant etc. The third thing that can be done is to switch to another antidepressant that may give better results. Venlafaxine would be a good choice in my opinion. Please discuss with your doctor the option that would suit you best and do accordingly. Hope you get better soon. Best wishes.

Hello, I have studied your case. . Pain along hip joint indicates possibility of hip arthritis. Hip arthritis can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN]. I will advise you do X-ray of hip, and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor. Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulfate. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

Last Thursday I had my gallbladder removed. I have had no pain until today. I sat througChatDoctorputer training from 8
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you had a gallbladder surgery, post surgery there will be weakness of The muscles. Which needs attention. Also, when you are coughing getting a pain in the back is also an indication of the muscle weakness. Having a pain in the shoulder blades can be due to abnormal posture related to trapeziums. I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy and take a proper Clinical assessment which will help plan the physical therapy protocol and strengthen the muscles. As post surgery it is common to have muscle weakness and change of posture as well. Along with physical therapy you should respond well. In my clinical practice patients will be recommended to physical therapy as it will help improve the strength and joint stability as well. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hi over the past few months i have noticed a small bubble like size lump located right next to my tonsil. Its about the size of a bb and its the same color of my mouth. It does not hurt at all but i have noticed some other things along with this. My breath has had a foul odor and ill taste in the back of my throat. Also, i have noticed that my neck has hurt a lot lately and swallowing feels a bid awkward than usual. I have had a lot of saliva too. I would like to know some information about this before i go to my doctor. Im extremely nervous because everything i read online involves cancer or other extreme conditions. Please any advice would help. God bless and thank you.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor Team. Understanding your concern. As per your query lump near tonsils which is of same color as that of mouth along with bad odor and taste is due to Chronic Tonsillitis which is a condition you need to panic about. It is due to throat infection that is causing inflammation of tonsils and lumps over there along with inflammation of papillae of tongue. I would suggest you to antibiotics like Azithromycin or Augmenting along with Ibuprofen that is anti-inflammatory painkiller for around 5 days. You should dew warm saline gargles. Steam inhalations and using a humidifier at home will help. Avoid hot and spicy food, and you should take soft food. Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Visit ENT specialist once and go for throat culture test to rule out ant hidden systemic pathology. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I was lying in the ground during jujitsu. My opponent dropped his knee on my chest and we both heard a pop. There was no pain or bruising. 6 days later, I still feel localized pain at spot but no ribs out of place. It hurts when my chest is pressed towards spine. Did I break or dislocate a rib? Should I get an x-ray. Also, sitting up or coughing causes no pain. Thnks
|
Dear patient You might be suffering from rib fracture and X-ray is must. I would advise X-ray of chest poster anterior view. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. If its showing fracture you need to wear rib belt for one month. Start tab diclofenac 50\u00a0mg twice a day for pain relief. Fracture needs time to heal which is around one month, and you have to give rest to chest by means of rib belt till that period. All the best.

hallo ihave histroy of metastic papilary ca with three operation,initial thyrodectomy followed by twice lyphnode dissectionand had two times nucleamedicine abletion.now recurrent lymphadenopathy in the right side 6months back my thyroglobulin level was0.0204[ refernce range1.4- 78ng/ml] i did this blood test in india resently did the same blood test in muscat that result came1.07ug/ml[refernce range <0.1ug/ml]now a days iam getting pain and swelling in the right side of the neck and that lead to my shoulder and backiam taking elctroxin 150mcg please advice me .what i want to do ?
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your pain is mostly due to fibrosis seen after thyroid surgery. Thyroid surgery once healed, produce fibrosis in neck. And this can give pain in neck. So take painkiller for this. Swelling in the neck is mostly due to lymphatic spread of papillary thyroid cancer. So better to get done CT neck to rule out metastatic involvement of lymph nodes. If they are metastatic then you may need further chemotherapy and radiotherapy. So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these.

Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. You have not mentioned the exact problem your mother is having. But I can predict she must be having pain. I advise you to take pantoprazole and dicyclomine. This will prevent the pain and discomfort. Please avoid the spicy food, it can cause further pain. If you are having mild pain than you can take the full glass of cold milk. It will neutralize acid in the stomach. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

The right side of my neck has been sore for over 4 months and I have a hard lump deep in the scm muscleIt was discovered by a neurologist who did trigger point injection along my right side close to the location of the lump. My pcg ordered a ct with contrast which I had on Friday Im afraid its cancer. Im a healthy 49 yr old do not smoke or drink I exercise and eat healthy
|
Hello friend, There is a general trend in the society to suspect any tumor as cancer. You are no exception. That is why you also do the investigations to rule out cancer. The very sight of the lump started frightening you. Now you are in a panicky stage till you get a negative report after the CT scan. Cancer is associated with in curability and death and that is why you are scared. If you can remember the date on which you started noticing the lump in the SCM muscle, then take it from me, there should have had a shocking and unexpected conflict in your life just before that. That must have been in your mind level. In certain part of the brain which corresponds to the particular organ and side of the neck, there were certain changes which ultimately produced the tumor. This tumor is not to kill you but to save you. If the lump is remaining there as a sore that means, the conflict is not yet resolved. I am a Homeopath and this I am giving from my experience. Homeopathy can identify how you reacted to the above-mentioned conflict and can select a corrective constitutional remedy to assist you to get back to original condition. Please do not get frightened even if the investigations tell you that you have cancer because Homeopathy can cure cancer. Your fear can reduce the chance of recovery but once you are aware of the condition and reveal everything to an expert Homeopath, he can help you. With best wishes for a speedy recovery through Homeopathy,

Hello Doctor Rynne, For the past 2 months, I have been experiencing memory impairment on a daily basis. This disturbs/concerns me because I am a college professor. I will be lecturing in class and then forget the point I want to make. I am in a meeting and wanting to make a point and then forget... This is happening too frequently. I am a 56 year old Korean American female in good health. My last period was February 26th, 2014. I understand that peri-menopause could cause this but I still am very worried.
|
Well in order to discuss the treatment first it must be determined what the cause is. Actually even that follows a careful evaluation to determine whether there is a real memory impairment or perhaps that impression is given by lack of attention often in the setting of issues like anxiety or depression sometimes associated with menopause. If a true memory impairment is found, other higher brain functions language, judgement, complex motor skills are tested as well. Afterwards as I said the cause must be searched for. There can be many causes like hormonal and metabolic alterations, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, vascular or degenerative impairment of the brain etc., some of them reversible some not. So such a vast array of possible causes often means having to take much blood or imaging test in order to make a diagnosis. As might have understood from this long explanation it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis and hence to responsibly answer your question about treatment, I think you should contact a doctor, possibly a neurologist.

HOW DO I GET OVER ALL THE ABUSE THAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH ?

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand your condition. Past teaches you lessons. Positive incidents teach positive lessons. Negative incidents also teach POSITIVE lessons. It always US who refuse to learn positive lessons and dwell our self in negative thoughts and world. Why do you want to do so? Go and see the poor people and see how they are getting abused?. Go to Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. Tell me how many of those child Chat Doctor.

hello doc.. am 24yrs old female, suffering from sero negative spondylo arthropathy,since 4 yrs. which is under controlled manner at present. in the beginning was a very severe condition, almost bed ridden. but recently i developed some stiffness n tearing kind of pain at lumbar spine, during flexion. also i have breathing difficuties, pulse over 100/min. has vertigo very often. Are all theses symptoms related? havent done HLA before. ANA negative, ESR and CRP raised. IS this present controlled situation temporary? sued to tak SAAZ, but now not under any drugs. Is this risk?? Thank you.
|
Hello, It is very unlikely that the breathing difficulties, pulse rate, and frequent vertigo that have developed have any DIRECT relationship to your spondyloarthropathy. What could be happening is that your low back pain is causing your pulse rate to elevate during those painful periods of time? This can make respirations rapid and shallow which you notice as difficulty breathing. Vertigo could then, come about as a result of hyperventilation leading to dizziness. If the symptoms are NOT related to actual bouts of pain in the back then, it may be from anxiety generated by the condition or some other situation(s) that could be going on in your life. You will need to talk to your doctor about these symptoms to see which theory seems most plausible in order to develop a treatment plan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have had lower back pain/inflammation for about 8 weeks, whilst this has eased somewhat and the muscles are less tight there is still a pull if I arch my back. More worrying is my stomach seems to fill up with air when I exert my body -like walking up a hill or stairs and I find difficullty in getting a deep breath/or shortness of breath. Been to a GP, sending me for xrays for chest and back, she thinks I have a respiratory infection of some sort, but has ruled out pluercy or pneumonia . Would this and or the back problen be causing my shortness of breath?
|
Hi Ray, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Backache is not known to cause shortness of breath or any breathing problem. I think you are not a habitual walker, if you are new to start on exercises then you will have this kind of exertion related breathlessness. Do not walk uphill in the start. Start walking at plains first and walk about 4-5 kilometers a day, later when you build stamina, start having jogging. Avoid stairs and uphill running. They are not good exercises rather put more load on body. I hope this advice would be helpful for you. Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back, I would be happy to solve them. Wish you a great health!

my daughter was diagnosed with a liver cyst that is about the size of a large melon. Have you experienced a cyst this large before. She was rushed to ICU for treatment. her blood glucose was way down and she need blood transfusions to bring it back up which was initially rejected by her body. She was then given plasma. After this an incision was made and a tube was inserted to drain the cyst. We were told that it is a miracle that with it being this large that it did not burst. We were also told that it will be touch and go for a while, and that she will be hospitalized for at least 3 weeks. What is your opinion on this matter?
|
Hi, Thank you for your query. Amoebic liver abscess or hydrated cyst can be of large size and are not unusual. I am concerned why blood transfusion was given for low blood glucose when 10% dextrose could have raised the glucose level better. By your description of putting a tube and hospitalizing for 3 weeks it is most likely amoebic liver abscess which is completely curable. I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Wishing your daughter an early recovery. Rajiv K Khandelwalhttp

Hello my name is Amanda. I am having stabbing pain right above my elbow in my left arm. I am currently on my period and have no other symptoms. The pain comes and gos and after my arm feels kind of heavy. I am 23 years old with 2 little ones i had cesarean. I am also very over weight. I have been under more stress since becoming a stay at home mom of 2. Any suggestions on what it could be or what i should do?

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have stabbing elbow pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like septic arthritis, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically, take history and order CT scan, blood test or urine test. Doctor may prescribe allopurinol, methotrexate, muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory along with recommend physical therapy. For now apply warm compresses, keep it elevated while sleeping, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and give your arm proper rest. In severe cases Steroid injection or surgery can be advised.

hi.... i m 21 yr old male. i dnt hve a beard. there is no genetical problem. pls help me doctor. sugesst me how to grow my beard. i also shave every weak....
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. If you have no beard growth, why you are worrying? You have so many other good qualities and good personality. Beard is actually a problem for many. Slow or scanty beard growth could be due to hormonal insufficiency. You must be having more of female hormones than male in this hair growth area. If you have good sexual urge and enough sexual powers, forget about that hormone also. It will not disturb you. You can try daily shaving and stop worrying. You might need sexological or psychological counseling. Hope this answers your query. Available for further sexological clarifications. Good luck.

Hello, I have studied your case and I think that it can be due to nerve compression in the neck or brain that you are having this problem. I would recommend you to follow these steps.1. Get MRI of the spine and brain.2. Also check your B 12 level.3. You should take opinion from a neurologist. He may advise you if you will need any nerve decompression procedure. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

Hi Meek This is called gastric reflux where in the acid from the stomacChatDoctores back into the throat giving rise to all these unpleasant symptoms. And, this is common in your age because of the laxity of the valves controlling the reflux. You need to consume plenty of water, avoid alcohol or smoking if any. Consult your physician for medicines to relieve your gastric problem. Try to lie on the left side, use a thicker pillow and consume your dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed. Take care Regards

I am having pains in my heart when I eat junk food that s three times a week I m 20 years male 180 cm and 87kg and when I eat oil food I get this feeling in my feet (like the oil is moving) then my whole body,after that I get flu like condition should I be worried
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Your symptoms are suggestive of HERD (Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease) mostly. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Due to this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. HERD causes more trouble with oily food. So try to follow these for better control of HERD.1. Avoid oily, spicy and hot food.2. Avoid stress and anxiety. 3. Try to lose some weight as obesity worsens HERD.4. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 5. Avoid stress and anxiety. 6. Start proton pump inhibitors. 7. Go for walk after meals.8. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.

Hi I have a dull ache in my back feels quite sharp and damp ? Also pain on same side in my shoulder Iam a smoker the doctor has gave me an antibiotic Iam worried its lung cancer Iam 33 also been out of breath and coughing up flem no blood just green pls help thanks
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are smoker, possibility of bronchitis, lung infection and lung cancer is high. All these can cause similar symptoms. But lung cancer is less likely because of your age. But better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection and lung cancer. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need inhaled bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and antibiotics according to the cause. You need to quit smoking as soon as possible. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

husband is a heart patient and has a defibulator. . He is experiencing dizziness a lot mostly when he is sitting down. Tonight after Supper (steak and lettuce and tomato) he suddenly became somewhat sick on his stomach and a brief bout of being sweaty. I am keeping a record of each episode he is experiencing and taking him to the Doctor on Monday. Just trying to see what could be the problem.

Howell come to ChatDoctorThank for asking Your query being appreciated, dizzy feeling and abdomen symptoms are two different things and may not be correlated with each other dizziness could be due to cardiac disease (Cardio-vascular disease) and abdomen symptoms could be due to dyspepsia, hyperacidity, infection, both the symptoms needs to be treated separately, it is better to see his physician discuss this, hope this information helps.

Hi my age is 28. am trying to conceive for a few months but i cant. last month then i started clomid. but still cant.i judt started duromine today, cz i giving up. will it effect anything? cz my hubby really want a baby. am planing to conceive dis month. but am still have 29days to complete duromine.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like your BMI, duration of marriage, regularity of menstrual cycles, results of hormone tests, ultrasound, semen analysis report etc. Dear, among couples trying for pregnancy, 80% of them conceive in the first year and 90% by the end of second year. So don't be worried. You will conceive. Among couples trying for pregnancy 25% conceive in one menstrual cycle. Since you already started Closed last month, I presume that your baseline hormone tests and HSG for tubal patency and semen analysis for your husband are normal. If these tests are not done, please do them first, so that you receive the right treatment. Clomid is a medicine used to induce ovulation. When used for 3-6 months, it induces ovulation in 80% of users and half of them conceive. Why did you start Bromine? Bromine should not be used by women trying to conceive. It can harm your baby if you conceive. So please discontinue the medicine now. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week. Take a tablet of folic acid daily. I hope this is helpful. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

I have been experiencing intermittent right sided abdo pain for a few wks with no urinary symptoms or change in bowel habits/vomiting/nausea/wt loss etc I am 54 years old and have a Mirena coil which was changed 18 mths ago. A recent pelvic and vaginal scan in Aug 2011 for similair symptons was normal as were my bloods and CA125. The pain feels like an interntal burning sensation and can radiate down into my right thigh and sometimes my back. Any suggestions?
|
Hi. The burning character of the pain and the history of radiation to the thighs suggest me to think of Neuralgic pain originating either from the Retroperitoneal area or from the spine. I would advise you an MRI of the spine and the posterior abdominal wall to see for Destructed vertebrae due to cancer or tuberculosis, Compression on the spinal cord or affection of the ilio-psoas muscles. Also go for regular stool, urine and blood tests including quantifier gold test for TB and so on. The treatment will obviously depend upon the diagnosis one gets

My 8 year old son complained of pain in his armpit last night. He lifted arm to reveal a golf ball size lump. He has been stung by a bee recently, and also has had a cold, low grade fever. He is eating and drinking, but complaining of fatigue. What should I do?
|
I went through your explanation and realize first you also need to see is this pain is recent start up after be bite, or it was there before also. If it is after being bite don't worry it will get over, but he needs some anti-inflammatory with painkiller as well antibiotic tablets also for this visit your doctor. And if pain in arm pit is present from long time before the bee bite then you need to check the lump with doctor what kind of lump is that. May need to go for excision as well biopsy of it to plan further. And here again a course of anti-biotic as well anti-inflammatory and painkiller will be given. So in both the cases you need to visit your physician first, and he will guide you further after physical examination. Hope you got your answer. Take care

Triglycerides and albumin globulin ratio are within normal range. Do not worry. All are within normal limits. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again

I just had some non-cancerous stomach polyps removed on Friday. I have been in intense abdominal pain since. My doctor has recommended I take Lansoprazole twice a day (which I understand can cause stomach polyps) and mylanta for pain. He suggested I only drink liquids. He wont prescribe a pain med over the phone, what I am wondering is what could possibly be causing all this pain?
