Hi Dr,Im hema aged 24.Im trying to conceive for past 4months.I had endometrosis (chocolate cyst) and underwent Laproscopy.After that i took FEMILON to regularize my periods.After that my dr put me on clome(1st month) and anastom (next month) to start my ovulation induction.I took duphaston 10Mg (one tab a day) for 10 days after my follicular scan.I normally get my periods in 2 days after i stop taking duphaston.But this time this is my sixth day and stil i havent got my periods.Aso i have painful breast at times. Can u pls tell me what could be the reason for these?
|
Hi Ms. Hemp, As you are on ovulation induction, the first thing to be suspected is pregnancy. You should take a pregnancy test with a fresh early morning sample. If it is ambiguous, go for the blood pregnancy test and a trans-vaginal sonogram and report to your consultant for further management. Your symptoms may be premenstrual as well and are not specific for an early pregnancy. Wish you success.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having viral fever since last 25 days which is due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of body and making prone to getting infected. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take proper antiviral medication course such as Acyclovir in combination with Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen. Do tepid sponging for immediate relief as you having high degree fever. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should take proper rest as body pain is due to viral fever. You should get routine blood test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Normally viral fever take 7-10 days duration to get recovered. Avoid oily and sharp food. Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I am SAIDUR RAHMAN from Bangladesh. My father is a patient of lung cancer. his surgery was done during february 2010 at dhaka. after surgery he has been taking \"gefitinib\" once a day. now doctor is saying that he is in the 4th stage of cancer. i want to bring him at mumbai and consult with a specialist. pls suggest.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor I can understand your concern. See, lung cancer is progressive disease. It is not 100%curable. Surgery is mostly done for symptomatic relief and slow progression of disease. So his worsening of cancer is not due to chemotherapeutic Chat Doctor. At present, with stage 4 lung cancer, only palliative treatment is available. So better to consult YYYYYYYYYY, YYYYYYY. It is the best hospital for cancer in world. Regarding, side effects of gefitinib, it can cause gastritis, nausea, vomiting, bone marrow suppression, skin ulcers, oral ulcers, loss of scalp hair etc. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

Hello doc. I drank Nordette as ECP only 1 tab after 3 hours of unprotected sex and drank 1 tab each day. I forgot to drank 4 tabs after 12 hours of the first dose. Will it still be effective? I finished my nordette now but still I haven t got a withdrawal bleeding . I stopped drniking Nordette. Will my menstrual period come? Thanks. This is my first time using ECP.
|
Hello, If you happened to be taking the pill on a daily basis without any failure, there was actually no need of additional protection since you had a protected cycle. This additional dosage may lead to hormone disturbance and hence can delay your next period. Yet, since you had only one additional pill there may not be much delay in the onset of menstruation and hence, you should take the help of a specialist if you become overdue by a week. Further management can be planned after a pregnancy test and a sonogram. Hope this helps.

HiI have just woken up, and noticed that a lymph node on the right side of my neck is swollen. A week or so ago, I had a swollen one just behind my ear, on the same side if I remember correctly My tonsils were giving me some trouble a few months ago, and I had anti-biotics to rid my infection, perhaps it is coming back? My dentist recommended that I had my tonsils removed quite some time ago, but another dentist I visited said that he would only consider removing them if I had persistent problems with them.So perhaps the swollen lymph node is something to do with this. I m 20 years of age, my diet has been somewhat poor the last couple of weeks, but otherwise I would say I am quite healthy in general.Thank you.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint in case if you have a recent history of throat infection and even if it is coming back also presently then there is a possibility that the swollen lymph nodes are due to Reactionary Lymphadinitis, and it is not a serious condition and when you will take medication for treating the infection like antibiotics the swollen lymph nodes will resolve gradually. You should consult an Otolaryngologies and get evaluated and get tested for bacterial infection [rapid strep test] and viral infection [rapid mono test] to rule out the exact cause of infection and treatment can be planned accordingly. If there are recurring episodes of the same then Tonsillectomy will only provide permanent relief. As of now do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lymph nodes. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

My baby is one nd half year she is always sick when she eats banana she has flu.nw her chest infection I gave her antibiotics syrup amoxcyline and steam everyday. She was fine previous day but yesterday again she had fever nw the dr said she has infection her ear also again he gave antibiotics tblt what should I do. .?? I give her or not She doesn t eat any thing.. Can u plz suggest something for her diet?? which I gave her .. M worried about her so mch..
|
I feel that your kid is having an allergic component which is landing her up in frequent coughs and colds. If it is always associated with fever, it could be an episodic viral wheeze or if not a multi triggered wheeze. Both of these may gradually diminish over time. Coming to the diet part, as such any diet which is palatable for the kid can be given. If she is not eating what you want, try giving what she wants. At her age interest in play increases and interest in food decreases. This is quite natural. If she is active and playing around you need not worry. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed him calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.

i had surgery done 5 months ago for scar tissue and adhesion removal. my gynecologist just found a cyst on my right ovary. im still having problems, when my husband and i have sex i get severe cervical pain and afterward i get abdominal cramps severe enough i get light headed, also i get abdominal pain and rectal pain before and during a bowel movement, i also get abdominal pain during urination. im 26 years old. what could it be?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Understood the history well. You have an obvious reason for pain - the adhesions and scar must have reformed. But the history of Dyspareunia, meaning painful sex indicated the is some active inflammatory process still going on in the pelvis called PID-Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Cystitis and Procto-colitis are the additional problems causing the pain in abdomen and rectum before and during bowel movements as also during urination. Ovarian cyst can cause problem only if it enlarges fast or gets twisted. I would advise you the following

I have swelling on the side of my face where my jaw line and ear lobe meet. Its in the front by the lobe. It started off small didn t bother me and now its itchy and purple. Right on my side at the end of jaw line. Its sensitive. I still have my wisdom but have never caused me any problems.
|
Hello Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor I have read your query. As far as swelling in jaw near ear lobe is concerned this can be due to infection of wisdom tooth, inflammation of gums or due to temporomandibular disorder. Don't be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral Physician for examination and evaluation. In meantime do warm saline rinses, maintain proper oral hygiene. You can take medicine like Amoxicillin with Metronidazole by consulting with local doctor. Hope my answer helps you.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Your current problem is due to anxiety related to ill-information or wrong knowledge. I assure you masturbation is safe and not unhealthy. But anxiety related to masturbation can provide you with mental stress and could give you performance anxiety. You can marry, and you will not have any erection problems. You should consult a psychologist for sexology related counseling. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

I have been having what I think to be a cramp in my right femoral muscle. This has been going on for about 6 months Sometimes it is more frequent and painful that other times. It is relieved by gentle massage. It is always in the same area of my femoral muscle and occurs almost daily and also at night. I have some concern because of a recent blood clot that my friend had in her leg that moved to her lungs. What fo you think?
|
Hello, Your symptoms are not suggestive of a blood clot. Instead, I would think about compression of the femoral nerve. For this reason, I would recommend performing nerve conduction studies in order to examine the femoral nerve. Other tests to consider would be

I had double knee replacement wit S&M verilast. MY right knee went great and I have no pain. The left knee had to be reopened 4 times because of an infection. Finaly they change part of the prostietc and packed my leg with anitbiodic beeds. plus a stint for 6months of injections. I still have pain in the left knee when rise f form a seated position and cannot use it to clim stairs alernately with my right knee. Pleas advise.
|
Dear Sir/Madam have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, what you are going through is a known complication of any surgical procedure, and that is infection, you are left with two options now, Either wait for the infection to settle and get the replacement done again, or plan for an Rhodesia of the knee, which means your restriction of movement will occur, but you will be pain free. I know It's hard to decide, but that is the way out of the present misery you are going through hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.

I ve been on metoprolol for several years 25mg. I recently started getting red itchy rashes if I am in the sun for 10 minutes. The rash can get raised like hives. When I get out of the sun 2 hours later the rash is gone. I am fair skinned but never experienced this before. I have also started having asthma like symptoms. After eating I start to sneeze, cough and then I have difficulty breathing. This reminds me of the reaction I have to cats. At night I find that I am wheezing slightly. I m trying to determine if it is a reaction to sulfides because I find this happens more when I drink wine or could it also have something to do with the medication. I am not on any other meds. I only take vitamins. Thanks barbara
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Red itchy rashes after exposure to sun indicates sun burn due to development of photo sensitivity of your skin. Use proper sunscreen lotion during exposure to sunlight. You can also apply calamine/algebra lotion to get cool effect. Sneeze, cough with wheezing indicates asthma. Metoprolol is beta blocker antihypertensive and asthma might be induced by beta blocker. Get examined by doctor and take further guidance for this. Keep in touch with your doctor.

I have had the mirena coil in for almost 6 months now and ive not bled for about 3 months now but i am suffering with excrutiating abdomal cramps lately. i experienced this about 2 months ago and when checked by a gp they said all was ok. im in alot of pain and discomfort!
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. The IRENA coil being a foreign body in the uterus can cause the uterine contraction to cause the lower abdominal cramps. The changed environment of the uterine cavity may not be allowing to have a proper menstrual flow. You can always check this by an ultrasonography, the status of the uterus, position of IRENA Coil, sighs PID,- Pelvic Inflammatory disease or any problem with the ovaries and / or Fallopian Tubes. If there are associated symptoms related to bowel or bladder a course of antibiotic and metronidazole will help. If the cause is IRENA coil, it may have to be removed. Consult a Gynecologist to get a confirmed diagnosis and to have a proper plan of treatment.

hi. im married for last three years. Had two miscarriages, both within 6weeks of pregnancy and have no children. Im being identified with PCOS and was under medication for the same for last two years. after 2nd misscarriage, i consulted with my current gynaec and he identified AVM(arterovenous malformation) which is then rectified by interventional radiologist under my gynaecs supervision( by a procedure). Now im once again trying to get pregnant. My gynaec prescribed Ovacet twice daily. OvigynDSR daily.Siphene100 from 2nd day of period. Can u advise whether my treatment is in right direction. Thanks.
|
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. Ovigyn DSR is given to women with diminished ovarian reserve. This is when there is less ability to form good eggs. It occurs with advanced age. This goes against your saying that you have PCs, because women with PCs have high ovarian reserve.Sphere is camphene citrate.This is given for 5 days a month to induce ovulation and to stimulate growth of follicles in the ovaries. I cannot comment whether the treatment is correct, unless I have your investigations to go through. Please get the following done-FSH, LH, AMH, TSH, Prolactin, OG TT, RHEAS, Testosterone, lipid profile, serum insulin.Also, a pelvic ultrasound scan and folliculometry. Please write back at -http

Dear I want to use a lactic acid 5% cream with urea on my scrotum and penis skin(on a thin skin under the head).In the past i was using strong steroids creams on the same skin for a problem of contact dermatitis .Now my skin has become more thin and i have a problem of nerve irritation there.So i have listen that a lactic acid based cream will reverse my skin back and will decrease the hypersensitivity of nerves.Would this cream will be best on genital area or not? Kindly give me your opinion.Thankyou. Regards,
|
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Lactic acid may not be a good option over genital areas. You should always show the lesion to a dermatologist before applying medical creams oversensitive areas. If needed you may consider applying lac to calamine lotion over the area. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link

hi my 11 year old is suffering from asthema and a constant allergic cough which has been diagnosed as sysptom of respiratory obstruction. he was on a regime of Levolin and budecort. but now the doctor has put him on Foracort. it dosent seem to be helping much. should I switch back
|
Hi I have read your question and understand your concerns. Thank you for posting in Chat Doctor. Levolin contains albuterol that is short-acting bronchodilator but has rapid mechanism of action, while Decor contains budesonide that is a steroid. Your doctor has put him on Forecourt that contains Budesonide and Forometrol (that is a long acting bronchodilator). So instead of using two inhalers, a patient can use single one that comes in combination. If Forecourt doesn't help much you can use Leveling and Decor. I suggest my patients Tablet Montelukast (chewable) 5\u00a0mg at nighttime as well. Wish your kid good health.

I have a solid lump on the outside of my right knee which gives me pain when playing sport and seems to play up when the weather gets cold also. It s quite a big lump in an area where I damaged tendons years ago in a football match. I wondering if it s linked to this and does it need surgery to repair? The lump is about an inch in diameter and kind of looks like a 2nd knee cap but on the lower outside of the knee. Obviously not as hard as the knee cap but it is quite solid.
|
Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Synovial Thickening with Arthritis / and or /from Osgood Shatters disease of the knee from the injury to tendon few years ago. Surgery may be required only if -Arthritis with Synovial thickening is there. For Osgood Shatters disease -Cold Compresses+Tab Motrin would relieve it in initial acute period and would not need any treatment as the lump would resolve over a time, as the time passes by.USG / X-ray Knee would fix the diagnosis prior to surgery and consultation from Ortho-Surgeon. Second Opinion from Ortho-Surgeon would be needed to rule out other causes of such a lump prior to treatment. Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N.

I m a 57 year old who is in top physical condition, competing nationally in the senior basketball championships. I started taking benicar htc about 6 months ago due to a sudden spike in my normally and family-history-wise low BP. My BP for 57 years was approx. 70/115. My current resting heart rate is, for example, 58. About six months ago, during a routine physical, my BP had spiked to 170/125. Our son, 27, is going through a tough mental health issue, fighting it, and arguing with his parents presently. I believe this to be the cause of my blood pressure issues...my MD isn t so sure, so I followed her advice without question and have diligently taken the benicar hct daily since prescription and my BP is now back town to 75+/-/117+/-. I ve noticed recently that my erections don t last and I always considered myself able to have sex with my wife anytime. I still ejaculate but wonder if the benicar hct could be part of the cause of this impotency?
|
Hello, In Benita HCT, there two components and HCT component is known to cause impotence. So this impotence may be related to age as well, but still you can have medicine with eliminating this component that is plane tab Benita. Also have low salt, fat and low calorie diet, regular exercises and relaxation techniques like yoga to relieve the stress. Besides get your lipid profile and sugars tested once. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hey doc. I had some long sex last wknd, which led to my penis not looking so hot. Vaseline a couple of times a day nursed it pretty much back to health, but noticed yesterday that now I ve got 4 very small red areas, all slightly raised like a pimple, and all with a hole in the middle. Not white like a whitehead pimple or black like a blackhead, but just a tiny hole. One red area is at the bottom of my penis hole opening. One red area is on the left side of my penis head. One on middle left side of my shaft. And the last is near the base of my penis. Any insight you can add would be greatly appreciated. Thanks doc.

Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern this could be nonspecific lesion and this may come around on it its own, wait for some time this does not then you can try the medicine given bellow, stop applying Vaseline, 1) Beclomethasone cream apply this three times in day this would be fine soon with the steroid preparation if this does not then clinical examination would be must, have a nice day.

|
Hello;welcome to ChatDoctorThe yellow vomiting of your 9 yrs old is due to hyperacidity in her stomach. Ask her whether she feels sensation to vomit before meals and if yes it is due to stress on her body leading to gastritis. You can give her Ondansetron 4 mg twice a day if she has vomiting sensation and even antacid like Di gene or Genus in liquid form. Just in case she does not feel better you have to consult a Pediatrician for examination and treatment. Thanks

Hello! Thank you for the query. What you are dealing with is most likely a colonial cyst. It's a kind of skin lesion very characteristic for the described by you area. Due to ingrown hair in this area tissues get irritated and inflammation appears. This leads to cyst formation which can be noticeable as a lump or ball. Sooner or alter such cyst gets infected what leads to pus accumulation. This gives pain and redness. I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue. If there is a pus, it should be incised and Chat Doctor. After acute inflammation will be gone, the cyst should be removed. Hope this will help. Regards.

I have a lump under the armpit, it has been there for a week after shaving my armpits 4 days before, it seems soft and can move, if i press it hurts a bit. I applied hydrocortisone but theres no improvement. What do you think it is? How can it be cured?
|
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history of the lump following shaving of the armpits, it seems that you have got a fur uncle (infection in the hair follicle) on the maxilla. If I were your doctor, I would examine it clinically, and if suspected to be due to infection, would prescribe a course of broad spectrum antibiotics along with a probiotic and an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. This should be sufficient to resolve the lesion. In case it did not respond, and increased in size, I would refer you to a general surgeon for a re assessment of the lesion. 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 Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

I was found to have a 17 cm x 12 cm x 10 cm ovarian tumor during an ultrasound on Tuesday. I just got my CA-125 test results today which read a 334. Can endrometriosis (which I have had my entire life) cause a reading this high? I am 60 yrs old, healthy, no pain, no other symptoms and all other blood tests and PAP test cam back normal. I have two CT scans scheduled for the am. I am worried sic but praying this tumor is benign. Any thoughts on the CA125 test results?
|
Hi.CA 125 is elevated not only in Ovarian cancers but also in other cancers like endometrial cancer, fallopian tub cancer, breast cancer etc. It is also raised in Non-cancerous conditions like Endometriosis, several diseases of the ovary like Ovarian cyst etc. As per literature, only 3% of females with raised CA125 levels have Ovarian cancer. But, you should be further evaluated. Hope the Swelling in the Ovary is a benign one, not cancerous. All the best. I can follow if you post the CT reports too. Take care.

my 15 month old baby was carrying aroung her beaker cup and fell forward while beaker was in her mouth. she has cut inside between lip and gum underneath nose. The bleed isnt constant but bleeds when wipeing nose. I dont know whether to take her to casualty to get it stitched
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint in case if your kid has injury in the area upper between lip and gum and there is nasal bleeding on wiping there is a possibility that there is perforation in the nasal floor leading to bleeding. You should once see a Pediatrician and get her evaluated and in case if needed few stitches can be placed along with advising topical application of antibiotic ointment and painkillers if needed. As of now avoid vigorous wiping of the nose and also avoid him from getting further injuries by falling. Do cool compresses in the area of injury to prevent bleeding. If there is pain you can give her acetaminophen. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .

For several months I ve had sciatic-type symptoms. My right buttox seems to be where it initiates and causes pain in my right quad, knee, and groin. I m stiff getting out of bed in the morning, OK during the day and can walk with little pain. Sitting is the worst. Are there exercises I can do to correct this? Janet
|
Hi Janet, there are exercises, but initially I would recommend obtaining some imaging to make sure that the right exercises get done, to make sure that the problem is indeed from nerve compression. A CT scan or an MRI of your lumbar spine would be where I would start, (to be organized through your primary care provider), and if those show specific areas of narrowing or compression, your primary care doctor can refer you to a physical therapist who will teach you exercises and stretches that are tailored for you. Epidural steroid injections done at a pain clinic (can also be coordinated with your PCP), can also be of great help for folks that are suffering from sciatic type pains. If those conservative therapies fail, then surgery may be of help. I wish you the best and hope my answer is helpful to you!

I had problems with my cycle for over a year. And the clinic suggested i use trigestrel just to get my cycle under control. I used it for over a month now but I developed this acne rash all over my face. And now it develops between my lower but cheeck. Is this a side effect or is there a problem with my body?
|
Hello, Usually, the use of combined birth control pill like Trieste can help improve acne. While, in your case you see that an acne rash has developed all over your face. I think it might be due to hormonal problems you are having more than taking Trieste. As long as your cycle is under control, the acne rash will disappear. There are a few things you can do to reduce acne rash

My mom developed a rash back in Novemeber 2014. The rasChatDoctores and goes and changes areas on the body. Right now it is on the left lower leg with edema from the shin to the foot. She has been to an allergist who feels it is not allergy related and thought maybe circulation. She also has seen a dermatologist. A few weeks ago the rash started oozing and a culture was done that showed a few bacterial things that the allergist never heard of. It is the ame leg that she had replaced many years ago. Could this maybe tied into the knee replacement? What should the next step be?
|
Hello, According to me, your mom is suffering from Cellulitis which is a bacterial infection of skin. Infection could be due to various cause, and it could be due to previous surgery (knee replacement). This condition may lead to extensive infection in the body. So, I strongly recommend you to consult your Dermatologist/Surgeon immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i was diagnosed to have Helicpbracter, now i am on medication for 2 months but not getting well, i dont feel heart burn but i feel that my tonsils are blocking the air path to breath so i keep swallowing, which affects my sleeping>>>what do you recommend me to do?
|
Hello, Thanks for posting your query, Hope you are doing great today. Well they exist various remedies for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection which is a germ that basically affects the stomach but could also affect the entire gut. The treatment of H. parole involves either triple or qua Chat Doctor. If your tonsils persistently block your airway, then a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils (tonsillectomy) will be performed after surgical evaluation by a surgeon. So if the symptoms persist, I suggest a surgical consult as soon as possible. Hope this helps

Hello, I have an unexpected pain on my shoulder, collar bone, hurts when I lift my shoulder. It started unexpectedly and it feels to be extending to my neck for brief moments. It also feels like those pains caused by acid reflux, but intensified x 10000 times and it feels like it radiates all over my right side.
|
Pain can be from many causes. What triggers or relieves it basically tells what is going on. If the pain is elicited by particular movements then it is not reflux and the particular area would tell where the pain is coming from. Usually from the attachment tendons around the shoulder joint (rotator cuff). If antacid relieves the pain that not only tells that it is indeed reflux but also shows an effective treatment.

Hi, I have been suffering with Psoriasis for the past 6 years. Have taken lot of medication in the past for no use. However, am able to reduce it through Yoga and stress management activities in the recent past. What is the best way to control it or atleast ways to reduce the flare-ups in the Skin ?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Psoriasis is a chronic disorder with remissions and relapses. As you might be aware, it can be well controlled with treatment, though there is no definite cure for it. The management depends on the extent of psoriasis. Some ways to prevent newer lesions would be to keep the skin moisturized, cut down stress levels, prevent infections and to stop alcohol consumption. Moisturization plays a key role as Chat Doctor.

I was recently switched from bystolic to metoprolol tartrate due to a flux in insurance and reduced cost. Used to control blood pressure which has been benign ... now there is a flux with the m.t. they increased dose from 12.5 bid to 25 bid.... Is there an adjustment period? Should I be concerned?
|
Hi, I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But there is an adjustment period to set the dose of antihypertensive. Or switch from one group to othercgroup. You need to check it for some time to set the dosage. So no need to worry. Once your blood pressure become stable with some dose. It will be fixed. Then also you should go for checking your blood pressure monthly according to your doctors' advice. So just follow the Chat Doctor. And go for regular check up. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any further questions or queries you can ask me for that. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi .... According to WHO guideline normally semen should have ..... Motility 40% Active motile 32%Morphology ideally >30%, strictly >4%Count minimum 15 million per ml.

My hard palate is very painful to touch on the curve up behind teeth(if that makes any sense). It is very painful to touch. I fell and hit my mouth when I was 12, and was told I wouldnt know of any nerve damage until I was about 15 or 16. I am 15 now. There is no discolouration of the front teeth attached to the once injured gums.. Am I now possibly feeling the affects of the injury?
|
Hello, Thanks for writing in.pain on hard palate may be due to-Associated decayed/periodontal infected/traumatized tooth. Use of dentures causing allergy also can result in such situations. A thorough clinical and x-ray examination is required to find out the cause of this. Meanwhile, pus if present has to be Chat Doctor. Take complete course of antibiotics. Discontinue use of dentures. Hope this helps.

hi i am satender singh smoke since five years and i also feel some pain in my chest and roblem in breathing from five years so rectly i diagnoside histopathology test in which it found cell block shows reactive lymphid tissue reactive lymphadentis and doctor suggest me tuberculos is traetment but in my report it shows no tuberculos is bacteria found
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. At present no need to take anti-tubercular Chat Doctor. Report is showing reactive lymphadenitis. It is seen in bacterial infection. So in my opinion, you should take broad spectrum antibiotic at present. Wait for at least 10-15 days. If swelling is decreasing then no need to worry about tuberculosis. But if swelling persists or increase in size or becomes painful then possibility of tuberculosis is high. And for confirmation, you need to get done excision biopsy and histopathological examination. This will be 100% diagnostic. So at present, don't worry about tuberculosis. Start broad spectrum antibiotic. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have enlarged prostate with significant post void residue.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Chest pain on coughing is characteristic feature of pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Following are the possible causes for pleurisy.1. Pneumonia2. Tuberculosis3. Pleural effusion.etc better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your problems. From the brief description of your symptoms, it is possible that this could be indicative of a depression. However, with the limited information that you have provided, it is not possible to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. A detailed history and psychological assessment is required. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help. Wish you all the best.

Hi last thursday i had gallbladder surgery and i had a catheter put in during surgery. Well ever since i came home i have noticed a burning, itching, swelling and slight disharge in that area. I thought at first it was just irritated from the catheter but its been 6 days now and its still bothering me. Any idea what it could be.?

HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, this could be allergic condition due to the catheter and may be infected too, I would advise you to take the following medicine for this,1) Beclomethasone with Aureomycin point. Apply this on affected part three times in day hope this information helps if this fails to respond then you have to see the surgeon for clinical examination, take care and have good day.

I have CKD/FSGS with a GFR of 37 and creatinine of 1.7 as of 2/2012. The last 2-3 weeks I have noticed that my urine is darker, more of an orange color, I have decreased urine output and my hands and feet are peeling. Could this mean that there is something going wrong that I need to discuss with my Neph?
|
Hello, FSGS/CKD is progressive condition. But serum great of 1.7 is not a very serious issue. But we have to see if serum creatinine is progressively rising or the proteinuria is increasing. Such situation requires urgent measures. Dark urine does not signify severity of disease. Decrease urine with peeling f skin can occur due to persistent swelling as a part of the FSGS (nephrotic syn Chat Doctor. Definitely you should consult the nephrologist.

I got the swine flu five months ago and I have RA. I was hospitalized for five days and they gave me the anti viral drugs along with prednisone. I recently became ill with what seems to be sinus infection. Im experiencing regurgitation and sore throat that feels swollen and I cant eat, cause it is really uncomfortable do to the severity of the inflammation and pain that radiates to my left ear. Im on antibiotics for like the fourth time since I got the H1n1. Should I be worried? Can you have complications this far out after the initial onset of the flu?
|
Thanks for posting your query OT Chat Doctor. Swine flu is a moral infection of respiratory tract.when it gets complicated causes infection to sinuses and ear also .you need to be careful as you are having repeated infection. SO contact to a ENT surgeon and undergo examination of ear and sinuses to rule out any pathology in that part .besides this you improve your immunity by taking good nutritious date, and you can also take multivitamin capsule as low immunity favor viral infection . Take care.

My daughter is a 17 yr old softball playr and twice a week they do conditioning . They have to run for a mile to get their times downa dn on Tuesday she was runnning and her calves were burning and a hugh lump appeared on the outsde of her leg. The trainor immediated stopped her and applied ice and said she really has never seen a muscle like this and to stay off of this for a week. If she continues in pain go to the emergency room. She went to her Chiropractic doctor and he said she had what they call a circulatory problem where the blood flow stays in a chamber and this startes acirculatory problem. He told her to be careful about running for any distance and if this recurs again it could be very dangerous. Sometime s if the circulation does not come back and her toes and feet become numb they may have to slice the leg open to get the blood flow again. What condiion is this and what doctor should we see? Can she continue to play ball? She is an outstanding pitcher and she is going to several college showcases in January. He said the short base running may not be a problem.

@ 2 yrs ago I had a stomach ulcer, no problems since. dr took me off all arthritis med. My severe pain arms, neck, back,legs & knees have made me sedentary. 15 to 20 lb weight gain..I can barely walk of lift my arms. I took one 800 Ibuprofen today & it helped with the imflammation....am I playint russian roulette?.....Thanks....
|
I would suggest you add pantoprazole 40\u00a0mg along with every dose of ibuprofen you are taking as you have a significant history of stomach ulcers. The dosage can be up to a maximum of 3200\u00a0mg/day, but that will increase the risk of renal side effects. The lower the dose the lesser the side effects. I suggest try to take two400mg tablets, one morning and one evening. If pain doesn't subside then revert to 800\u00a0mg tab once a day

I had a grand mal seizure about 3 weeks ago, I am 72 years old and had never had a seizure before. I was under severe stress, no sleep for many days and was caring for my husband who died a week later. Anyway I was kept in the hospital for three days because I had developed before the seizure the ability to carry on a conversation and my words were staggered. Tonight I think I took my afternoon Dilantin and I took my night time one because my pill box for the afternoon dose was empty. What do you think is the right way if this happens again?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. First seizure needs evaluation to find out the underlying cause of seizures. I presume you underwent MRI of brain, EEG and other blood tests. Regarding Dilation, you need to take 5 mg per kg body weight. So, if your weight is about 60 kg, then, a daily dose of 300 mg is needed. A capsule of Dilation is 100 mg, so, you would need three capsules daily. Since the duration of action is 24 hours, for convenience\u2019s sake, you can take the entire three capsules together at night. Other options include taking one in morning, after noon and night each OR one in morning and two at night. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have submandibular lymph node enlargement or sub mandibular siledenitis. You should go for biopsy of that lump.

I am having a huge problem!I am having a severe pain in my lower right abdomen, it comes and goes every time I get up and it even hurts sometimes when Im lying down. I am having this problem for 36 hours now. I have been to the E.R. this morning, they took my blood, urine, temperature, etc, everything is fine. My white blood cells are in the normal range. No nausea, no fever, no vomiting, nothing. Still this pain is excruciating. From the E.R. they gave me an anti-inflammatory drug and sent me home. They said its not a hernia, not appendicitis. What in Gods name can it be???
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Your history looks like appendicitis or Nephritis (inflammation of the cecum) or right ureteric stone or so. If the pain is coming and going the possibility is more of an impacted stone in the right ureter. The blood, urine and everything else can be normal. The proper diagnosis can be made only on a high resolution ultrasonography and / or CT scan of the abdomen. Insist for one. Get the diagnosis and get treated accordingly.

Hi there,for the last couple of weeks ive been having back ache/pain in the middle of my upper back (between my shoulder blades) I went for a run and it was like I couldnt take a deep enough breathe in , i was really scared. Im 15 years old and I am female. I have a headache and woke up very dizzy and feeling quite sick but I havent thrown up. Please help,
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand your problem, you went for run, and then you have this problem, it is common in female person having backache after the run because of the mammary glands, during the running time this moves randomly and tends to pull the back muscles unevenly, and this may cause great pain, before running you should have an advice from trained person for proper garment, now have muscle relaxant \"Chlorzoxazone\" with \"Diclofenac\" will give good result have nice day.

An abnormal shape of skull may lead to difficulties with chewing, swallowing, and breathing. There is an option of surgery with best results.

I am an American living in Ireland, Recently saw a doctor for acute neck pain from stiff neck while recovering from the flu. I was given 500mg of Paracetamol - take two tabs three times of day. Felt better yesterday and stopped taking it when I discovered that it what I know the drug to be acetophemin (sp). Not feeling as good today. Should I go back to the dose, reduce the amount? I am 69 years of age and don t want to damage my liver. I would appreciate your recommendations.
|
Hi there. It is not uncommon to have neck stiffness and pain after viral illness or flu. If you don't want to take oral medicines, you can try local applications in the form gel or lotions. They have smoothening effect and relive pain mos of the times. Also ice gel application can help during the initial few days. If the pain still persists at the end of the week, physiotherapy under prescription in the form of ultrasonic massage can help provided u have no contraindications to the same. If it still persists it is prudent to visit your Orthopedic again. All the best. With regards.

The banjo on my penis is very swollen underneath and very sore. The foreskin will not go back into place. What is causing this. When it first swelled passing urine was painful. This is the 2nd time this has happened, the first time it swelled for the evening and then subsided again. This time it has remained swollen for the past 6 hours.
|
Hi, There are many reasons for the swelling underneath the foreskin of penis, both STD and Non-STD causes. Sometimes insect bite and allergic reaction also manifest like this. Any infection of Glans penis or just an inflammation due to some irritants like topical applications, antiseptics or even soap remnant. If the cleaning of inner aspect of penis is not adequate, then also secondary bacterial infections are common and produce swelling. Yeast infection or other STD infections also can cause such swelling. You had not mentioned your age, whether you are a Diabetic individual and about your marital status and sexual activities. This information will be useful to arrive at a diagnosis. Consult your physician he/she will help you for further investigations and for treatment. Nothing serious. Chat Doctor. Morgan

My friend has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma . He is retaining alot of fluid in his stomach, legs, feet and his groin area. He is starting to have a hard time breathing and he gives out really fast. How long will he have to go through this? His doctor told him he will only be with us for about 3-4 more weeks. Does this sound accurate to you.
|
I am very sorry to hear about your friend. His cancer has metastasized (spread) to many areas of his body and the symptoms he is suffering from can be explained because of the spread of the cancer. It is very hard to tackle with such problems and I would suggest that all of you should support him through this tough phase (I'm sure you must be doing that at present as well). It is very difficult for one of predict the time he is going to live but what is important is that he should be made as comfortable as possible.

My husband is a cancer patient. In 2009, he had a stem cell transplant. He is doing fine but sometimes has stomach problems. He says it feels like someone punched him in the stomach. When this happens, he will usually end up with a fever and I have to take him to the BMT clinica where they do testing which always come back negative. He gets a an iv with saline and usually 7 days of antibiotics. He then gets better. Could this be part of GVHD?
|
Just stomach pain is not manifestation of GVHD. GVHD manifests with skin rash, diarrhea and liver function abnormalities which manifests as fatigue, loss of appetite or jaundice. You need to get an upper GI endoscopy and ultrasound or CT abdomen to know exactly what is happening. Since pain is associated with fever, infection is a strong possibility. Sometimes tiny abscesses are missed on ultrasound and CT is required.

Hi, Im 28 years old and I am 25 weeks pregnant! My last bllod pressure reading was 140/80. My normal blood pressure reading is usually 120/80. I have no swelling and no protein in my urine but I was obese before pregnancy and have only gained 3 kg so far. Im being very careful with what I eat. Should I worry? Is it considered high?
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your concern and would like to explain that actually we cannot conclude on high blood pressure based only on one single value. Furthermore, 140/80 mmHg is considered a borderline value (systolic component) and actually there is no need for antihypertensive therapy. Considering your overall clinical conditions are fine (no excessive weight gain, no edema, no renal impairment) there is nothing to worry about. You just need to frequently check your blood pressure values, renal function tests, complete blood count, body weight and consult with your attending physician in case any abnormalities become present. Wishing you all the best! Kind regards,

Dear Nellie, Fatimid is a medicine which contains Camphene citrate as an active ingredient. This medicine has to be taken for 5 days, and then it initiates the egg release. So this medicine is for inducing egg release (ovulation). It is advisable to monitor ovulation by ultrasonography or LH estimation kits. Intercourse or GUI should be planned on the day of ovulation. This medicine should not be tried for more than 6 cycles. If within this period there is no success, some other medicines like BMG/Chat Doctor combination may be tried. I hope this helps you.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... if it is found out early that you have hepatic encephalopathy and is there something that you can take to make it go away or slow it down thank you
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This is serious disease and late consequence of liver failure and actually this cant be cured since permanent brain damage develops. However, it can be slowed down with procedure called porto-hepatic shut and you should consult hepatic surgeon about its availability in your area. Liver transplant i another option but not plausible. Diet should be balanced and healthy. He should limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and corn as well as fats and fried food. Diuretics and Siliguri are medications that may benefit him. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Hey, Well, since the start of the year, I have been really down. Things have happened at school, and I lost a friend, have no friends, am a loner etc. I ve had many fights at school and at home. like, nearly every day. I haven t had the best childhood and I ve got repressed memories. When my mum reminds me about events that happened during my childhood it suddenly hits me very clearly, and then, I can t stop crying. I ve been bullied by my family, cousins and peers for like, my whole life. I have screwed up to friendships-the most important ones to me. I ve caused another person to have depression, and I suffer from a lot of guilt. I didn t know I was hurting them-and worst of all they were my best friend. In the end they left the school.

Hi doctor. My son is 5nd half year old.he is suffering from allergic bronchitis from last 3yrs.he is taking regular inhalers budecort and now foracort.at time of excessive cough along with inhalers he take nebulizers with asthalin or levolin or dulion along with antibiotics and other medicine as recommend by doctor. Can his problems be cured by aruvedic treatment as we are not sure with the cause of his allergic cough.
|
Symptoms described by you suggests that he has an allergic tendency as you rightly pointed out. But if his requirement of nebulizers is more than twice a week then his medication needs to be stepped up and try to assess if there are any triggers for the same and avoid it. This can be done through allergy skin testing. Which will identify the triggers and avoiding which may control his allergy. Frankly speaking I am an allopathic doctor and I donor think there is a cure for allergy, but yes can be controlled and at a later age it may settle.
|
My son has a rash on his entire body. At first it just looked like tiny bumps all over. Now theyre alot bigger and looks like theyre turning. In to a scab like rash now.I took him to the Dr twice . They said its a viral infect. But hes had this for a month now.
|
Hi, It seems that your son may be having purity. It may mimic like chickenpox, a viral infection. There may be itchy papulovesicular eruptions. However, you consult expert dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Antihistamines like HY Chat Doctor. If needed, short course of steroids in tampering dose may be given. If there seems secondary infection, antibiotics may be added in therapy. Avoid soap during bath. Your son may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here.. hi i m from nepal. i have got married in 2009 n very first month of marriage i got unwanted pregnant .and i abort it .we both husband and wife is a student we dont want any child now. but unfortunatele i have dout tht i m pregnant frm last month. is is safe for me to abort again
|
Hello dear, i understand your concern. In my opinion repeat abortions might not be a good option. Because frequent abortions cause blood loss and make you anemic. Sometimes the internal environment might change and cause the problems in conception in further life. But if it is inevitable then you can go for termination of pregnancy. But later on follow regular contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Go for termination of pregnancy only under doctor supervision to avoid complications like incomplete abortion. Best regards...

For a long time I have had symptoms of anxiety & panic attacks, they were diagnosed after a few ER visits random with paranoia of stroke or heart attack symptoms which were dismissed as my being told I was low on magnesium had PTSD, paranoia, & my nervous system was stressed from internalizing. However coinciding thru time...-What I always thought was completely unrelated was many other simultaneous symptoms such as an ongoing ear infection that has been there for years even with prescription never went away. -Spacey empty headed feeling & kinda a jump in brain or eyes sometimes-Poor circulation or fuzzy-Feeling of knots in veins or tighteness-Chest pain-Seizure like feeling with many fast flashes like in a movie or chest pain-Recent I lactated without having been pregnant-I often wake not being able to open like a jar or something till later in the day & my hands are tightly wound balls curled-The biggest is my difficulty swallowing which has increased from moderate the last few years to complete discomfort in the last week (coinsiding with being head butted by my ex)-And my tongue is inflammed (which I showed the gyno to ask if it was std related & she said she didnt think so)-I have chronic back pain but I attribute that to my job which is a caregiver & strains back-I can be moody & extremely tempermental pre-menstrual more then the average person (which I have stressed to my doctor but he just says it has to do with my anxiety)-I have extremely extremely bloody periods that are very heavy (which my doctor just says is normal in some women)I have considered the throat & bumps could be related to the fact that I have the HPV virus & spread thru oral but nothing seems to have spread in patches their just bumps in the back of my tongue that have coinciding gotten bigger with my swallowing problem. I dont usually get headaches but after the head butt I have felt head pain coinciding with my ears which tho usually infected have been mild but are felt now in correlation with each swallow. I have had melanoma skin cancer stage 2.5 when I was 23 & 27 I am now 29. It was surgically removed in the effected spots & some lymph nodes. And a mild less then 1 case of cervical cancer at 26. I just feel my whole body is telling me something but as I said other then my cancer diagnosis anytime I have had brief checks ups I get told I am having panic attacks, not heart problems or & it stresses my nervous system. They simply just tell me to take prozac & relax. I have avoided medical care consistent because with all my previous health problems I dont have insurance based on affordability.Insight & thoughts.Please tell me speculations I have been told by random family I am simply a hypochodriac & I dont think I have fibromyalgia I think its more, Maybe one thing maybe 5 but please insight?

To me, it seems an endocrinological (hormonal) problem considering

hi, I have been experiencing tenderness to my breast area 12 day after i had my period, and started having sore throat issues, along with a white creamy discharge . My tenderness to my breast is still their and I m 6 days away from my cycle, and I haven t been able to concieve since 2007, What do you think these symptoms mean? Might I be pregnant? I had I.U.D. placed in after my last pregnancy but it was difficult to have them remove the I.U.D. after 2 years on being implanted inside me. I had to be put to sleep to get it taking out because it hurt so much it made me cry. After that I have been unable to get pregnant this far.
|
Hi, Breast tenderness could be due to the water logging post-ovulation. Sore throat could be seasonal. You can get a blood test done to be sure about any chance of getting pregnant as Hits at this stage may not always give a positive result as they are not so sensitive. Ideally, you should wait for your period before taking the next step. If you have failed to conceive after removal of IUD, and that too with difficulty, you should get investigated for secondary infertility, including uterine condition, patency of the tubes and so on. Please get further advice from your doctor. Good luck.

After a blood test at my last Dr. s visit it was discovered that my hemoglobin was 6.3 so I was sent to the hospital for 2 units of whole blood! The next blood test showed hemoglobin at 7.6 and I am so lethargic I can t function. What next? P.S.
|
Hello. Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. A hemoglobin level of 7.6 is quite low for a male. You need to further investigate the cause and take appropriate supplements and treatment. The lethargy is due to anemia. Anemia can be due to reduced intake of iron b12 or folate. In old age it could be due to impaired absorption despite adequate oral intake. Sometimes injectable haematinics are required to overcome impaired absorption. Moreover, anemia could be due to occult blood loss from any hidden site. So a thorough investigation is a must. Also, you can get your thyroid hormones checked to rule out hypothyroidism. Hope I was helpful. Thanks.

Hi, My son vomited yellow bile one time yesterday morning. Since then he has had intermittent mild stomach discomfort and sporadic fever up to 100 degrees. He is very tired. He is scheduled to go for a CAT scan on Monday but I am wondering if he should be checked sooner than that and if appendicitis is a possibility.
|
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Abdominal pain, vomiting and fever can all occur in appendicitis also and some other abdominal disease. So don't wait till Monday for CT scan. Take him to ER for physical examination and management hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.

i am 37 years old, 5 3 and weigh approx. 150lbs. I have a lump in my armpit. I have had it for a very very very long time. It usually is very small and doesnt hurt, about the worst usually is it kinda gets in the way of shaving. lol. But twice now (starting two days ago being the 2nd time) it suddenly swells very large and hurts pretty bad plus it slowly leaks this fluid that is kinda like snot. Im not sure if it that stuff that smells bad, or the fact that its hard to actually clean the area during this and i just have bad b.o. i m afraid its something bad....what should i do? or what the hell is it??
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged axillary lymph node due to tuberculosis or reactive enlarged or malignancy. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology for exact diagnosis. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi I was just wondering, I was brushing my teeth and I spit and I saw blood. I have a laceration in between my bottom gums and lip, in the crevice. It ripped while I was brushing. Now my jaw where it ripped is swollen and tender to touch. Is this normal? It could easily be between 2-3 inches.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint and presentation of symptoms any traumatic injury to the soft tissues causes inflammation and swelling is caused due to inflammation. If you do not have any infected tooth or any gum infection then the swelling is due to laceration. It can also be due to any infected tooth that has flared up while can also be due to inflamed gum flap if you have an erupting wisdom tooth. In case if you have any tooth or gum related infection consulting a dentist and getting evaluated and x-ray of the swollen area followed by treatment of the cause is the correct choice of treatment. If it is only Inflammation caused by toothbrush trauma you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for relief from swelling and pain. Do cold compress over the swollen region of jaw. Take a soft diet and take low spiced food to prevent discomfort and irritation.If you improve in 3 to 4 days. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

I get sperm leaked during night times when I sleep. Main point here is when there is leakage of sperm, there wont be any sexual dreams or erection of penis. Without any sex dream or erection of penis or mastribution, there will be leakage of sperm and penis size will be small on shrunk during the time. Is this a problem? if yes then what is the solution?
|
His had gone through your query.it is normal. Night emission is normal and physiological. Erection is not present every time. Do not think much. If you started regular masturbation or sex then there will be no night emission. Sperm production occur 24 hourly and masturbation/sex are two processes by which it is coming out. If you do not do it then it will come out while you are sleeping, so it is normal. Relax and do not worry about it. Still have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Thank you.

i have been under a lot of stress lately and two days ago started feeling dizzy when i look down and back up again. also i feel like here is a pulling feeling on the right side of my right eye. off and on the eye feels like it is throbbing too. i am 38, female, 198 pounds and 5ft five inches.
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. First you should confirm that your problem is really due to stress and not due to some other underlying factors. Please consult a physician. If it is surely stress, next you should do is to take a vacation for 15 days. Vacation should fill your mind with joy. That may not happen in the first two days, but should happen after that. Secondly, you should learn to relax yourself while under stress. Stressors are everywhere. What is counted is how you cop with them. That is an art to be learned from experience. You will learn soon. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi, my steps are split, 6 then landing then another 6. When I got to the bottom set my foot slipped at the top and my feet went out from under me and I landed right on my butt and back in the middle of the steps. My back hurt when it happened but it was okay then. My tailbone was and is still sore but what makes me wonder is my abdomen is sore. Completely across the front. Dont know if this matters but I had 18 inches of my colon removed in November due to Diverticulitis. I am 29, yes 29 years old, I know that is odd, trust me. Dont think it is my colon at all since I recovered rather well from the surgery and I know what an attack feels like. Oh. its across but right below my belly button kind of making a smile on my stomach
|
Hi there ~I understand your concerns, and you seem to have been going through a lot lately. It seems to me that you broke your tailbone only (since you have not reported a disc prolapses or herniation) and I understand that this can be very painful. I am sorry to hear this, and I hope you got the right medications to get yourself treated. I also believe that the pain below your belly button is related to your surgery. Referred pain is what it is called, and you could have something going on in you belly, and you feel it on your abdomen. This could just be a healing process, however it would not harm to let your doctor know this and your doctor might schedule an ultrasound scan or schedule an appointment to let you know that you need a physical examination to try finding out what is going on. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!

ive had this aching in my right arm woke up this morning with it now it feels like starting a little in left arm it feels like it starts just below the neckline my cholesterol is a little high blood sugar is 363 I have high blood pressure I feel a little blotted YYYY@YYYY

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in right arm. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angina, brachial plexus injury, bursitis, carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination. Doctor will check vitals, order blood test and urine test to check diabetes along with ECG. Doctor may prescribe medicine like metformin. Doctor may refer you to endocrinologist for diabetes or to orthopedic surgeon for muscle and bone pain. For now do not sleep in right arm, give your arm proper rest, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and decrease sugar and fatty food consumption. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I was bite by something inside my glove while working outside yesterday, below index finger on back of hand. It felt like my hand was on fire, and the bite location soon began to feel sticky (half dollar size area). There is minimal swelling, no definitive bite marks, just radiating pain/burning into related finger, and forearm. I would rate the pain about an 8, enough to prevent sleep.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you have got a localized anaphylactic reaction with the poisonous chemical injected by the bug or insect while it stung your finger. You should take anti-allergic medication like Ben Chat Doctor. In case if there is severe pain you can take higher painkiller like Tramadol. In case if there is no improvement even after one week you can consult an Allergist and get evaluated and treatment can be planned accordingly. Hope these information helps. Thanks and regards.

Today my daughter fell over on a hard stone pavement. I heard a crack and her hand started to swell. I immediately put her hand under cold water, but no bruise came out. I am now quite worried as she says her wrist is very painful and sore when she moves it forward it is unbearable. She also cannot stand anyone touching the area around her wrist. My sister has said it may be a hairline fracture. We haven t gone to A&E because if it is just a sprain, I can simply put a padded cast on her wrist and hand a doctors note into her teacher saying that she cannot take part in any strenuous activity. Thank you!
|
Hello there, after going through your question I might suggest it's a fracture as swelling starts to appear, and she still feels pain and can not stand simple touch. But few points still remain untouched. When did the injury happen?is the swelling has reduced by then?is there movement loss in her hand?what causing the loss of movement pain or because of fracture? As you have mentioned hand, so which part of hand close to wrist or at elbow? If its near wrist joint, fall on wrist & twisting of wrist could be possible but if she has felt on her elbow than chances of fracture is quite often. So to my opinion do not wait and just go for X-ray else allusion in fracture cases could lead to further damage to surrounding tissue. Regards

|
HelloThanks for query. The word HY Chat Doctor. . In most of the cases this obstruction is due to impacted stone in the ureter and few cases due to pressure over ureter from outside due to swollen lymph node or blood vessel crossing the ureter. You need to get radiological test called Intro Venous Paleography(I.V.P.) done to find out the level of obstruction, degree of obstruction and effect of this obstruction on function. Of the kidney.to decide future course of action and to save kidney from further damage. Consult Urologist for evaluation. Further treatment will be decided by him based on the report of this test.

good morning sir, sir my father was suffering for kidney parenchymal disease so he was problem with pains of both legs,chest pain ,blood test result are urea-69 mg%,creatinine-2.8mg%,uric acid-8.4& rbs-78mg%,Hb%-9.4 urine routine test is normal o he was suffers big problem he was medcines taken ultracet,folic acid tab,nodon tab,etc.... sir but he was taken medcine but not cure what is problem plz details me sir,
|
Hi, Your serum urea, creatinine is at higher side. So it is suggestive of deterioration of kidney function. Underlying because specific treatment should be priority. Diabetes and hypertension are common cause for that. Your physician should check your blood pressure and medication given for that if needed. I suggest you consult Urologist for examination. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My friend is an avid meth using and her pee is red. I ve seen myself and there are no clumps just red pee. She hasn t eaten anything that could have died it. Question does meth cause ur pee to be red. Or is she passing a kidney stone or actually bleeding.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have req urine. It is most likely to be due to bleeding in urine. It may be due to kidney stones or some mass lesion in kidney, ureter or bladder. You should go for urine examination, RBC morphology of urine and ultrasound abdomen. These will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Soon after our marriage I came to know that my wife age 29 is having family history of diabetes .I suggested her to go for some medical tests. After receiving the report we came to know that her cholesterol level is at 201.30 mgdL Triglycerides 229.30 mgdL HDL Cholesterol 43.80 mgdL LDL Cholesterol Calculated 111.64 mgdL VLDL Cholesterol Calculated 45.86 mgdL . TSH 4.67 uIUmL . Some of my friends are suggesting us to replace rice with bread atleast in one of the two meals . Please suggest what should be done to reduce the abnormal levels and also retain the normal. Further we are planning child in near future. Keeping the levels in mind will it be safe to go for it My blood group is O negative and her A positive or do we have to wait till levels get to normal or if some precautions are needed please suggest. Also I have come to know from internet that people with higher triglyceride levels are 30 percent more vulnerable to heart attack, therefore is it safe to have physical relationship while the levels are up.
|
Hi, I think you should consult a physician for the abnormal lipid profile. Some diet adjustment and medications will help her. Regarding the blood groups, it is alright. There is no need to worry about. If wife is positive and husband is negative, there is nothing to worry about. You can try for pregnancy as deranged lipid profile will not have any adverse effects but first control the sugars as high sugar levels can lead to miscarriages. Physical relationship can be maintained. It will not increase the chance of heart attack. Maintain healthy lifestyle and do exercises regularly. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hi, 2 days ago I did a home pregnancy test as I was having symptoms. It came up with a faint but clear positive. I took another this morning to be sure and again it came up a faint positive but took a bit longer for results to be clear. Am I pregnant or could the test be wrong.
|
Hello dairy understand your concerning positive pregnancy could be due to1. Done very early in the pregnancy2. Done with diluted urine and Failure to follow instructions properly while doing test3. Chemical pregnancy/miscarriage4. Positive pregnancy test as some time pregnancy test will give false negative testPregnancy test will give positive result 8-10 days after the missed period. I would suggest going for blood Chat Doctor test after consulting the gynecologist for final confirmation of the pregnancy. Blood Chat Doctor is more accurate test and give positive result only 10 days after the unprotected sex.Meanwhile, avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor.

hi i am a mother of 3 yrs ols boy. me and my husband trying to get pregnant from past 5 months. my periods was irregular since we started trying and since December i am not getting my periods. i am not pregnant. i went to my dr and she suggested me to do pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound . the report says trace amount of free fluid is seen in pelvis . endomentrial lining measures 11mm. nabothian cysyts are present at the cervix . multiple peripheral to follicles are seen in right ovary . it measures 6.1 cc A 3.9 x3.4 x 2.6 cm. septated cyst in l ovary. do i have any problem? can i still get pregnant ? why am i not getting my periods?
|
Cellophane you for your query. It appears that you have an ovarian cyst in the left ovary. Without looking at the ultrasound report, it is difficult to say what is causing it. It could be simple follicular cyst. However, since you are having a history of irregular cycles, it could also be an endometriosis cyst or a hemorrhagic cyst. I need to have further details of the scan done. Please consult an Infertility specialist. You might need to have a diagnostic laparoscopy to evaluate and / or treat the cyst, as well as assess patency of your fallopian tubes. Meanwhile, have your husbands' semen analysis also done. Take care.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. You are 24 and at this age you should be having some other priorities like physical fitness and career. Not sex or porn. If you concentrate more on education, career and exercises, you will have less time and energy for sex and porn and masturbation and that is the correct alternative and treatment. Please do not be anxious about the habit you are having. Masturbation, sexual fantasies, porn film watching etc. cannot harm your health or future martial life if these are kept within moderation. Please consult a psychologist for counseling. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

My baby is 1yr. old (12months). For last 2 days she is having loose motions. I don t know whether to call it as loose motion but she is having toilet 3-4 times a day. Toilet smells badly. Also colour of toilet is Blackish Green, Yellow and also it is sticky. Please let me know what kind of food shall i give to her. I normally used to feed her milk, Dal/Rice, Fruit(banana/Apple), Khir etc.
|
Hi, Does she have fever or vomiting? Does the stool contain blood or mucus? Is there any abdominal pain or discomfort while pooping? If no above said symptoms, this need not be taken as significant. Some change in stool frequency, colour or consistency is common once in a while, and need not be worried about. You can continue the same feeds as before. If stool is too loose, reducing amount or withholding fruits for few days might help. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
