ok I am a diabetic a1c averages 7 to 7.5 I am in stage 4 to stage 5 kidney disease my doctor says my blood acids are higher than he wants he has said to use sodium bicarbonate to ease the acid. I have been told to avoid any salt is this not contradictory?
|
Hello, You are right. The hypertensive patient should avoid sodium in the diet and from medication as well. But if acid level very high means metabolic acidosis present than it can be counteracted by bicarbonate. So I suggest you follow your doctor advice to treat your condition. You should get treatment by nephrologist only. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

18 year old female 5 7 117 lbs. I went to a bonfire. Overnight developed hives (that is what the ER told me). They put me on 50 mg Prednisone and Atarax for 5 days. I have a red face, neck and arms that itches. It does go away with use of these meds but returns. This is almost 2 weeks now and I am now on the downside of a tapered prednisone and taking Zyrtec daily. My joints have become sore. It is hard to walk. Any suggestions as to what this might be?
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Joint soreness can be related to rheumatoid arthritis. It should be excluded through examination such as rheumatoid factor. Meanwhile, I suggest continuing using antihistamines to relieve the itching such as Zyrtec. I also recommend using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the join inflammation. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

Hi sir am Tanveer am 28years male from Bangalore i have a problem from past1year that am not able to walk properly My walking frequency n The speed has been reduced as compare to earlier i feel very pain in My knees i have did lots of masturbation for a year like once in a day or twice a day. What do u think is My problem is due to masturbation if yes please please advice me and suggest me some good medicine and food to gain again My stamina pls help me...
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Masturbation is healthy if done with moderation. For a teenager once a day and for an adult up to 25 thrice a week ideal. Due to masturbation we feel weak, as we feel weak after physical exercise. The tiredness after masturbation should be cleared after a good rest. Nothing to worry on that regard. Your knee pain should have some other reason like arthritis. Please consult a physician for examination. Stamina is related to frequent physical activities and not related to masturbation. But you should know obsession and negative thinking about sexual organs and sex itself could cause anxiety disorder. Take care. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http

Im 25 years old and trying to conceive for 2 years now Ive been taking raw honey an cinnamon and Im starting on my first dose of clomid. My question with the combination of the drug clomid and the cinnamon/honey help me with chances of getting pregnant/concieve.

HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. Please upload all your tests done so far. With 3 years of primary subfertility, you should consult an Infertility specialist. Get your husbands' semen analysis tested. Next get your basic hormonal levels done - TSH, LH, FSH, AMH, Prolactin, OG TT, RHEAS, Free testosterone, Lipid profile.Also, go for a cycle of follicular monitoring. This involves tracking the growth of the egg follicle in the ovary by serial ultrasound scan done throughout the cycle. If ovulation is fine, then you can go for 3 - 6 cycles of follicular monitoring along with natural trying for conception around ovulatory days to maximize chances of pregnancy. If ovulation is a problem, you might need help of ovulation inducing agents like Camphene citrate / gonadotropin to help ovulation. If 3 - 6 cycles of stimulation also fail, then you should go for a laparoscopy to check if your fallopian tubes are open.Alternatively, you can undergo laparoscopy directly too. As a last resort, there is always IVF (in vitro fertilization) which will help you. Maintain ideal weight. In response to camphene, almost 50 % of women ovulate and more than 20 % achieve a successful pregnancy. Cinnamon and honey has no scientific evidence, just eat healthy. Take daily folic acid supplements. All the betake care.

I had my gall bladder removed two years before due to gall stones.... things have been fine.... off-late I have been experiencing severe acidity and last night we went out to eat and today the whole day I havent felt the need to eat anything except had the morning tea. My stomach seems full and is bloated and my stools are whiteish in colour though not loose.
|
Hi, thank you for posting your query in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. After gall bladder removal, few patients can develop these symptoms like abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, gastritis, fever, jaundice, diarrhea. In your case severe acidity is prominent.it is possibly due to bile duct injuries, biliary leaks, acute pancreatitis, infections. I would suggest you to get endoscopy done as soon as possible .it will help to find the cause. I would also suggest you to get the blood tests done that should include CBC, AMYLASE, LIPASE, LIVER FUNCTION TESTS and STOOL EXAMINATIONS These will help to find out the probable cause Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

doctor, my mother 80 years was daignosed for parkinson. she is taking syndopa CR125 thrice a day, but still she has got lot of rigidity in her body which makes her difficult to walk and stand. Her hands are shaky but can still hold the glass. Lately she has developed allergy to some medecine and got red rashes in her hands and legs. Her face and legs have swollen a bit. Kindly suggest me what is to be done to take her out from this condition.
|
Hi, thank you for your help in providing the brief history of your mother. Since its Parkinson, and she is already seen by a neurologist who has advised to take syn dopa. It is a symptomatic way of dealing. Since you mentioned the rigidity she has is not lowering down, why don't you take a discussion with a neurologist and take some guidance of having physical therapy for your mother. Most of the patients respond well with physical therapy and gradually the rigidity and tremor comes down. I have seen many Parkinson cases getting helped by the physical therapy. So the first line after syncope I prefer to advice for physical therapy. With the grace of God I wish your mother a speedy recovery

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Please do not panic, and please do not blame yourself. Depression, anxiety and stress have become very common problem in teenage nowadays. Apart from that psychological disorders like schizophrenia, mood and personality disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders commonly cause such behavioral problems which are beyond the control of your mind. You may or may not have insight about your condition and hence will face difficulty in controlling your emotions and actions. Once such problems are diagnosed appropriate treatment with medicines and behavior therapy can help one lead a normal life. It's like any other medical illness, if you have fever, pain etc. you consult a physician, don't you?.Similarly, for anxiety, depression etc. you should not hesitate to consult a doctor as it's not your fault that you are suffering from it. In your case, since you have attempted suicide once, it is very important that you consult a therapist or psychiatrist for appropriate management. Infact its best if you confide in your parents or someone close to you so that they can help you in seeking right treatment.Meanwhile, you should try to cultivate a positive attitude towards life as you have a long and beautiful journey of life ahead. Wishing you good health, Regards

I ve noticed that my speak count. liquefaction time 60 Active (Progressive) 10 Doctor found 2 problem on my result. And suggest an urologist . With in 3 days I will go to doctor. Can you explain about my problem and are these major problem , how can overcome this situation.
|
Hello Though findings are not clearly mentioned, your findings may suggest low sperm count and low motility of sperms. Normally sperm motility should be at least 55 %. Your findings suggest only 10 % motility, so it is low. Sperm count should be at least 20 millions/ml. Besides proper clinical examination, you may need investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, ultrasound of scrotum. It is important to exclude any surgical reasons for low sperm motility and low count. Ultrasound and clinical examination is helpful. Hormone assay can be done if needed. Take nutritious diet and antioxidants. If low motility and sperm count is low then you may need assisted fertilization techniques. Other findings like liquefaction time is normal. You should also try to decrease your weight. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Diabetic patient usually have candida infection more frequently because of high sugar level, which candida consumes and grows. I advise you to take two edge sword for this infection. 1) I advise you to take your sugar controlled with insulin and oral anti-diabetic Chat Doctor. 2) take the oral fluconazole tablet 150 mg under your doctors' guidance. This can be further influenced by the hygiene. Maintaining the hygiene will be best accomplished by

The condom slipped off 18th march evening nd it was a day b4 my regular period day 19th march.i took unwanted 72 in a couple of hrs after d incident.nd on the19th i thought i did get my period but it s just little nd nothing more. First time i took d pill nd dint know much?
|
Hello misunderstand your concernTemporary disruption of menstrual cycle is common after taking unwanted 72 as it cause hormonal imbalance. Unwanted 72 cause delay in period due to high progesterone that prolong the second phase of cycle. Some time spotting can be occurred. I advise you to wait for period to come for 7-10 days. If period will delay by the 10-12 days then go for pregnancy test to rule out the pregnancy. So do not worry, your period will come. Hope this may help you Best regards

Hi am rubi ,my bad habit is I used to eat raw rice always. Am 19 years old girl. I want to leave this bad habit. I can t tel to my parents about this. So what I have to do now. N what s the reason of am eating raw rice without washing it . Plz help me doctor
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much in this regard. Weird eating habits are common and this happens due to some nutritional imbalance of the body. If body needs some extra nutrients which it is starving for, you start craving for that nutrition. Salt eating, mud eating, kerosene, chocolate are some examples. In your case, eating raw rice is also common and most probably it is happening because of iron deficiency, Please consult your doctor for some iron supplement. Hope this answers your query. In case you require more of my assistance in this regard, please post a direct query for me in this website. I am happy to help you. Good luck.

My 7 year-old son had a fever 4 days ago, I gave him an ibufropen 3 times before discovering that the medicine has already expired. Today, he has fever again. I am worried that it might be the effect of the expired medicine. What is the effect of taking in expired medicine. Do I need to take my son to the hospital?
|
Expired medicines lose their potency and will not be efficacious when used. Otherwise, they do not cause any side effects. Certain preservatives used may cause any allergic reactions or vomiting. In case of such symptoms, the child requires medical examination. You should also use new ibuprofen since fever may not be reduced with an expired Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

|
Hello, Thanks for writing in. From the information given about your husband, he is having vomiting and diarrhea for over a week now. I suppose it's some kind of gastrointestinal system infection (bowel infection). First you must see that he doesn't get deny Chat Doctor. This itself can get life-threatening. Then please give him plenty of fluids to take. You must take him to ER if his situation is not improving, else it can get worse and dangerous. Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Anemia is caused by a number of causes. A low hemoglobin gives us the information that hemoglobin is low, but the cause has to be found. The first thing to do is to get a peripheral blood film examination and red blood indices. This investigation will let the doctor know about the status of red blood cells and the indices. Further investigations will be guided by the result of these investigations. Management of anemia will depend on the result of these investigations. Anemia can be due to loss of blood, nutritional deficiency, hemoglobin disorders, etc. After knowing the cause treatment can be planned. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi... I can feel a lump right the bottom of my ribcage and it is in the middle. I am 34 male and married, 167 height and my weight is 105 kg. My health in general is ok the only thing I did a surgergy for a fissure and piles that I had 3 or 4 months ago however I still feel a little pain in my bottom sometimes.
|
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Your description of the lump in the bottom of the rib cage in the middle is somewhat not clear. I would advise you to get your self assessed by your operating surgeon for a proper diagnosis and appropriate management of the problem. It might not be possible to advise you on this without a clinical examination. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

My father is having wheezing problem for past 15 years now he is 60 years. He is using asthalin inhaler two times a day. Is it ok? As climate is continuously changing now a days he is getting wheezing more oftenly. Please suggest some other medicine for quick relief.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your father is mostly having chronic bronchitis. And at present, he is having uncontrolled bronchitis. Bronchitis needs regular treatment. Stalin is having albuterol. It is short-acting beta 2 agonists. Its action lasts for only 2 hours. It should not be used as regular Chat Doctor. For regular maintenance treatment, your father needs long acting inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Oral combination of antihistamine and anti-allergic

Hello my husband has been coughing like crazy for a couple weeks. He has been to the Dr 3x. He has allergies and takes Allergan but right now he is horrible. They prescribed yesterday pro air and levofloxacin. Still not helping, he is coughing non stop.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem and situation. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist for your husband. He needs1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test)He is still having coughing, even after treatment, so we need to rule out infection in lung and bronchitis. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection (pneumonia).PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. He may need inhaled bronchodilators and anti histamine Chat Doctor. So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose him and then start treatment accordingly.

hello doctor i just want to ask about lung fibrosis. i was diagnosed to have TB in my left upper lung and i was treating anti tb drugs for 2 months now and i have regularly consulting my pulmonologist.my problem is on how the scar on my lungs will be totally disappear? is there any remedy for it?thanks
|
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... You are having lung fibrosis condition secondary to tuberculosis .... Once fibrosis occurs it is irreversible condition ... Steroid might be useful for that .... You have to complete the course of AKT to prevent further fibrosis.... If you are having smoking habit than avoid smoking as it can lead further fibrosis .... Pulmonary rehabilitation useful.... To assess severity of fibrosis spirometry useful for that ... Take care. Advise

My father is 78 years old and is in the advanced stages of COPD. He has gas two bouts of pneumonia within the last year, and has overcome TB, and mantle cell lymphoma. He now has Stenotrophomonas bacteria present in his lungs which seems to be resistant to antibiotics. Is there any cure for this? Thank you.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Infections are the most common cause for COPD exacerbation. And treatment of COPD is multifactorial. It follows like these.1. Complete cessation of smoking if your father is smoker.2. Antibiotics as and when required on culture sensitivity report.3. Inhaled bronchodilators.4. Enroll him in pulmonary rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy is done. 5. Adult pulmonary vaccination for pneumococcal and H.influenza to prevent future lung infection s. For better control we have to apply all the above-mentioned steps simultaneously.

I am experiencing lower abdominal pressure and this afternoon when i went to urinate there was a thick mucus like reddish-brown discharge . I had my cycle on the 20th of March lasted maybe about three days, I had sex about a little over a week later and now I am experiencing the lower abdominal pressure and the mucus like discharge what could this mean?
|
Hi! You have not mentioned if you have got fever or not. With fever, it could be a pelvic inflammatory disease in which you may get such discharge with foul smell of which there is no mention in your history. The second possibility is that you might have got a miscarriage with an undiagnosed pregnancy. You have not mentioned your age. In relatively older age groups with repeated deliveries, we may expect some kind of prolapse of genital organs in which one may get lower abdominal pressure along with a reddish brown discharge. You should consult your gynecologist and get yourself examined, who may advise you for an ultrasound abdomen along with a routine urine test, a urine pregnancy test, and a serum Chat Doctor. I hope this suggestion will help you. Good luck.

I had major back surgery 3 weeks ago. At the time right before surgery and after I noticed increased swelling in my sides, stomach and reaching to the back. I thought it might be due to recurring kidney stones coming down, but CT scan shows stones in kidneys but not coming down. Said probably from surgery. Others say no. It is getting worse. Can t eat. No room for food. Bile comes up in throat. I look pregnant so swollen and it is painful, especially at night. I ve been to ER last week for this, primary care doctor, etc. I can t just run to surgeon that did back surgery. He s in another state. I see my urologist on 24th. Don t know if I can wait till then since so painful. Any ideas?
|
Hello, What surgery you have undergone? Stone may not cause bloating of stomach. Bloating may be due to gas or feces or fluid, or it may be due to food. So get it done ultrasound abdomen and use tablet Nexpro-l one table before breakfast for one week. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. If symptoms not improved please consult with your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hello my friend. I have a friend who recently got a job, cleaning bathroom/shower areas at a flying J, truck gas station. His left had just between the wrist and knuckle areas are showing dime size bruises. His right arm, just above the wrist area now has a silver dollar, deep purple hematoma, and it s bleeding. He just got it today.
|
Hi there Thank you for your question. If your friend developed the bruises without being hurt, it is important for him to visit his doctor. This suggests a bleeding disorder. If he bleeds easily from his gums when brushing his teeth, it is also suggestive of a bleeding problem. The doctor will run a blood test to check his bleeding profile i.e. whether his blood has enough platelets to clot. Other blood tests might also be done based on the results. If the bruises are on the skin that was exposed to cleaning chemicals, he could be experiencing chemical burns or contact dermatitis. This is easily treated with topical antiseptic creams (silver sulfadiazine) for burns and anti histamine (allergen) with topical steroids for contact dermatitis. If this is the cause, he should wear gloves when cleaning so that he does not expose himself to the chemicals. If in doubt, and bruises are developing spontaneously anywhere on the body, I recommend visiting the doctor for the blood tests I mentioned above. Thank you. Keep well.

hi, i am 35 yrs , and diagonsed with endometriosis moderate level.. we are trying for baby, i dont wont to go through IVF. my hormone tests are normal.. am on ova care and letrozole.. i want to know whether i sd go in for ivf or not? i underwent lapro on 24 th apr 2010,, then for two months i was on lupride depo and my period started from mid aug..then after we are trying..
|
Hi, I have gone through your question. Yes, you can go for IVF as your age is 35, and you are suffering from endometriosis. Conception is very difficult in endometriosis because the fallopian tubes are distorted, and their function is suboptimal. Since you have taken 2 cycles of ovulation induction with aerosol, and failed to conceive, therefore I would suggest you to get in vitro fertilization as further trials of ovulation induction can lead to ovum depletion and decreased ovarian reserve for in vitro fertilization, if required later. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health.

Im 31 yrs old and had a slightly abnormal ekg they don t think anything is wrong but just to be sure they ordered a stress test is it unusual to have an abnormal ekg if nothing is wrong? Iwas having chest heaviness and pressure I do have asthma but have also been totally exhausted for over a month no matter how much sleep I get.
|
Hello, Thanks for your query As they found nothing on EKG that's why they have ordered for a stress test and if anything abnormal is there it will be revealed on stress test inspire of having normal EKG think your asthma control is not optimal as your symptoms persist. I suggest you to consult your pulmonologist and take his opinion and get yourself examined to assess the level of your asthma control. If not controlled then your asthma treatment may have to be stepped up. Thank you.

Hi, I recently finished a course of antibiotics and from the got thrush on my penis. To try and cure the thrush I poured undiluted savlon on my penis but not it is burning uncontrollably and feels like I need to urinate all the time.. Please he to get rid of this sensation?
|
Hello really appreciate your concerned course you need to be concerned, but you need not worry much about thisLooking at present condition you might have injured during the masturbation or sex, may get infected if it was healthy previously. Another possibility is prostate problem or chronic urinary tract infection. If I were your treating doctor, I would have advised you to keep it clean and apply antiseptic ointment if it doesn't improve or worsens than I would have ordered few investigations like blood for hemoglobin, CBC Liver and kidney function test, blood sugar and urine culture or an ultrasound if need be. You may require a course of anti-allergic or antibiotics Chat Doctor. Hope this answers your question you have any more queries please feel free to write back to me, I will gladly answer you Best wishes

hi Dr. my 2 days newborn baby suffering from jundice of level 10.2gm/l ,baby is B+ve blood group of B-ve mother. suddenly jundice rise from 1.9 to 10.2 gm in 35 hrs . what should i do ? i have consult the doctor(child specialist) to day and he said come after 2 days to check blood group ...
|
Jaundice is frequently seen in newborns around 3rd or 4th day of life. It is physiological. But for a mother of negative Rh blood group with an Rh positive child, the jaundice could be due to Rh incompatibility. At the mentioned levels, treatment with single or double surface phototherapy should be enough. Phototherapy consists of a simple exposure to light of a certain wavelength, and it helps in solubilization of the bilirubin (which is responsible for causing jaundice) and thus it gets eliminated through urine. If the level rises even further, exchange transfusion with O negative blood might be needed. But most often, it resolves with phototherapy alone.

noticed a lump in my armpit the size of a pea some days ago, it doesnt look red in colour but is swollen, a little painful and been of the same size since. also i have pain from my armpit to my elbow esp around the inside of my elbow. my lower arm is tender to touch. everytime i raise my arm to my side i see somthing like a taut tendon and i cant raise my arm any further due to pain. wht do u think it is?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. If the swelling is attached to the skin this is most likely to be a sebaceous cyst. If it is deep-rooted there are more chances of this being a lymph node. The referred pain is normal and nothing much to worry about it. Take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the direction of your Doctor. Lymph node will settle with this. A sebaceous cyst may need removal under anesthesia, The movement swill improve with the proper treatment of the original problem

Hi , I was touching my boyfriends penis and I think that I had a little pre ejaculate on my finger, it wasn t wet but my hand was sweaty so it was hard to tell. Then I touched the outside like where my underwear line is , where the thigh bends in that area. And when I went to the bathroom it wasn t my wet and I wiped it just in case. Could I be pregnant from this ? My hand wasn t wet just sweaty
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com. As you are not sure has anything touched you are not, so there are chances of pregnancy around nil. But one thing is if the pre ejaculatory fluid has passed into there are certain chances because it sometime contains small amount of sperms. As I said chances are around nil because pregnancy is because of multiple factors (if you were not the 11-17 days of your periods counting first day of your bleed first day of counting there are no chances. Hope it will help you. Regards.......

I have had very low results for the past year of my Iron Saturation levels in my bloodwork results. I have been experiencing chronic fatigue, joint pain, headaches and menstrual like cramps but with no actual period. I am worried about how bad I feel and want to know what to do. I take a multivitamin everyday but still continue to have this issue.
|
Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that low iron saturation and low hemoglobin is common in menstruating women. You should start iron therapy. As you mentioned you have very low iron saturation I advise you to take injectable iron therapy initially and once you achieve the sufficient level switch to the oral therapy. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor

Mom has had a horrible virus infection RSV bronchitis was hospitalized now is soooo hoarse can barely talk doc suggests voice rest and it should get better her cough was non stop last week now gone down quite a bit minis 87 on abx ice chips I suggested for throat comfort please advise
|
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. First it is important that this diagnosis is confirmed and there is no secondary superimposed infection. For this test on secretions collected by bronchoscopy is advisable. RSV infection is not common in adults but chances increase in patients having decreased immunity and respiratory problems. So all these conditions should be ruled out by appropriate tests. For this infection early administration of Riboviria will lead to rapid recovery. Otherwise, it is self limiting illness and symptomatic treatment is the main target. I hope this will help you. Wish you a good health. Regards.

I was diagonized acute psychosis(sleeplessness,restless and behavioral problems) in 2005. Was on chlorpromazine and serenace for a couple of years but since I had 2 relapses I changed doctor who prescribed loxapine succinate 25 mg, paroxetine hydrochloride and nitrosun. Now currently on loxapine 10mg and paroxetine. Is treating acute psychosis with loxapine and SSRI a correct treatment for acute psychosis? Is there any chance of complete recovery? How is acute psychosis different from schizophernia?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are concerned about the treatment of your psychiatric problem. Regarding the medication that you are on, Loraine is an anti-psychotic medication which is used to treat psychotic disorders like acute psychosis. But Paroxetine is an anti-depressant medication used to treat depressive and anxiety disorders. I'm not sure why you have been prescribed an anti-depressant when you have mentioned that your diagnosis was acute psychosis. Please clarify this with your doctor. The difference between acute psychosis and Schizophrenia is that acute psychosis occurs suddenly and lasts only for a short duration (usually less than a month), whereas Schizophrenia is a chronic condition, usually characterized by relapses. Acute psychosis has a good chance of complete recovery, but Schizophrenia usually requires long-term treatment and monitoring. Wish you all the best.

I have been physically doing some labor work and had to be on my legs for 7-8 hours per day for the past two weeks, all of a sudden I have pain in my right leg and could not walk for 2 hours, I can walk now but still in pain. Please tell me what happened. Thank you, I appreciate it. Paul

Hello, As you have done hard work which is kind of heavy duty, there are two possibilities which can be happening. If the pain is radiating in nature than it could be related to the muscle spasm in the lumbar spine leading to nerve entrapment. In case the pain is dull in nature and no radiation then it will be DOES (Delayed onset muscle soreness), the DOES happens in muscle due to excessive work which was not performed by the muscles in the past and it's not a habitual work. The DOES effect will come down in 3-4 days maximum of time and nothing much to worry. If unbearable then doing hot water fermentation will be good. In case if it's radiating in nature then needs to do Mackenzie maneuver to centralize the pain and do core stability exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi how are you? I thought that i had a uti however two urine samples taken by by gyno and then my pcp came back as neg for uti but had a high level of white blood cells. no i am getting a pain on my lower abd ( it feels like ovulation pain) what can it be
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would after clinically examination of your abdomen and a general examination, would advise for an ultrasound abdomen which would help in ruling out a few intra-abdominal pathologies. The diagnosis would be based mainly on the physical examination finding, and the investigation findings. 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 am a 35 year old female, had a hysterectomy 5 years ago. For about 4 days I have had a bruise like pain on my left, lower, back rib area and nausea . After I eat it seems to get worse. Also for the same amount of time I have been having terrible acid reflux (lump feeling in my throat ) and have never had it before.
|
Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor .you seem to have possibly either stomach infection and indigestion. Take light diet and Chat Doctor. Avoid eating late, and fried and spicy food, take some antacids. Try to sleep with a couple of pillows under your shoulder for a couple of days. If this does not improve you need ultrasound to rule out gall stones and urinary stones. Then consult your doctor, try to avoid strong analgesics.

Hi, My lower right abdomen/side has a dull pain that is pretty much constant. I have had it since about 5
|
Hi, As your neighbor suspected, lower right qua Chat Doctor. If you continue to have this pain, fever with or without vomiting, you need to go the ER to rule out appendicitis. Other possible causes could be an intestinal infection, diverticulitis, a referred pain (source being the renal system). I hope you are better when you receive this answer. But if you are in distress, you need to visit your doctor at the earliest. Routine blood counts, ultrasound examination and urine microscopy are entailed. Hope this is helpful. Wish you speedy recovery Regards

hi!! doctor am 24 yrs old jst noticed i was losing my hair in some parts of my head (the loss is in patches not the whole head)i consulted a dermatologist i was adviesd to use minoxin an elcom which am using now bt the problem is my hair is treated with chemicals detergents (it s not natural) am suppossed to treat it after every 2 wks so is it appropriate to treat it in btwn medication or shd i stop treatin it an still if i dnt treat the hair it s known tht if yu dnt treat chemicalised hair it shd fall terribly ......what should i do am confussed.
|
Hi, Do not be confused. Hair loss in patches is the condition called alopecia errata. It is an autoimmune condition of unknown cause. Stress may be a precipitating factor. I would suggest. - tab. Camisole 50 mg daily-tab. Biotin 10 mg thrice a day-tab. Folic acid 5 mg thrice a day-apply tacrolimus 0.1% lotion on patches twice a day- Intradermal injection of triamcinolone 10 mg in patches-avoid stress and worries. Take treatment under observation of dermatologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I am getting icy hot sensations on my torso. IT moves around but never goes below the waist. Been doing this for 90 days or so . I thought it was an allergic reaction to soap or shampoo or something. Changes everything i could think of. Read on internet could be beginning signs of MS. Are there other signs? Anyway it s a bit annoying but not overly interferring with business as usual. Could it be nerve related possible. Had a bulged disc in neck a few years ago that caused pain down arm but that subsided with therapy and has not come back yet. Possibly related? Thank you
|
Hello, The hot sensation is a type of neurological pain. An injured or compressed nerve cannot send a normal signal, so the body may interpret the sensation as heat. A ct scan is needed to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I recently had an complete ultrsound of the abdomen.Everything was alright except for the liver being mildly enlarged 17cm and demonstrates a slightly increase parenchmal echogenicity on a diffuse basis. My cholesterol used to be high, but is to a normal range. I was taking crestor for at least three months before that Lipitor last year which the Dr. took me off of. I am scheduled for a HIDA scan and MRI . Just wanted to get your input on this. Thank You Sincerely Robin H
|
Thank you, Robin, for your question. You are probably suffering from a Fatty Liver disease. Would suggest you to get a liver function test done. Also the HIDE and MRI test are required, so you are on the right track. You need not worry as of now. Lifestyle modification is an integral part of the cure, like avoiding consumption of overtly fatty food, engaging in physical exercise for at least 40 mins per day and avoiding alcohol consumption as much as possible. Take care

hi i had a tooth out and it would not clot and had to have it stitched. i was advised to go to my dr for blood tests - they foned today and said the coagulants were fine and i was to go back for some more blood tests - what else could they be looking for
|
Hello, if by coagulants you mean INR (or prothrombin time) or activated partial thromboplastin time then you should also check a complete blood count for platelet number disorders and blood clotting time. If both are normal It's very unlikely that you have a blood problem. Regarding platelets, their number could be normal, but functionality may be impaired but if the blood clotting time is normal, your wounds should be clotting on time! I hope I've helped. If you'd like to ask more, please let me know. I'll be glad to help. Kind Regards!

my friends son has been infected by Dengu which is 3.11 till yesterday and has been hospitalised today in India at Mumbai...the doctor has not prescribed anything since morning and now he as given him Crocin tablet....i want to know if this tablet can be given and which is a good hospital in Mumbai where he can be treated for this disease
|
Get blood test for platelet count. Normal count is 1.5 lac to 4,5 lac. If count is more than 10000,no bleeding, no need to hospitalized. Take Cronin (paracetamol) if fever is more than 100.use cold packs, take O R S with mineral water. Indications for admission are-bleeding, B P less than 90.you can admit in any hospital with blood transfusion facility. Do not worry. Consult your family doctor.feedback.

my mother has already had numerous surgeries including a radical free flap surgery for buccal mucosal cancer. Now the cancer is back. The doctor says her only chance is another radical free flap that includes jaw bone removal. What is the average survival rate for recurring cancer like this .Her cancer is squamous cell carcinoma
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Buccal mucosa cancer is treated with surgery in early stages. In recurrence after few months or years also surgery is done if possible and then followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. What happens is some amount of cancer cells are still in the region and not eradicated by surgery. To destroy them completely, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is given to most patients of buccal mucosa cancer. Survival in cancers of the head and neck region is better than most other cancers if detected in the early stage. Since your doctor has told that your mother can go for another flap surgery therefore it is still in the early stage. Survival is good, and many people continue to lead a near normal life after surgery. The 5-year survival even in stage 4 buccal mucosa cancer is more than 36 percent. Therefor please get her surgery done and follow-up treatment, and she will recover. Please do not worry.

Im nineteen years old and have really bad anxiety .. with asthma on top of it. but after getting into an argument with my boyfriend .. i had a severe pain on the upper left side on my chest .. kind of under the arm pit but not really .. like on the corner .. and it hurt when i breathed in and out .. i was just wondering if it was just a panic attack?
|
Hello and thanks for your query. I understand that you are worried by your chest pain occurring in the background of an anxiety disorder. Now, it is very common for anxiety to present with physical symptoms like chest discomfort, difficulty in breathing, etc. However, considering the fact that your pain is acute and sharp and the fact that you have asthma, it is necessary that other medical conditions such as a lung pathology should be ruled out. So, I would advise you to see a doctor and get yourself examined in order to ensure that everything is okay physically. If so, then you can practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, etc.

i sneezed one night and got a pain right side under rib cage above my obliques. never had the pain before i sneezed again through the night and was really painful i could not bend over the next day. it is much better now and can bend and klift but is still sore when sneezed not as painful though
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sneezing if forceful can cause excessive straining of chest walk muscles. So muscular injury can occur while forceful sneezing. So possibility of muscular injury is more in your case. So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi,That dog is not the disease. Due to present days of easily available porn literature and seeing sex videos on computer there is sexual excitement, reflact on mind resulting night discharge or having habit of masturbation. Do not see these type of movies or videos. Do physical work whole day and relax at night. Go for reading of good books or see light entertainment TV cereals before going to bed. Prey the god and go for sound sleep. Ok and bye.

Hi, i has my bood test done recently. The results come back with all the renal and liver function normal. But i have Hg count with 105 (i have thal trait) and ESR 61. I noticed that my ESR result is far higher from normal range. However, i have enzyma and having some anti-itchy and allergy medication during the period of blood taking. Besides that, i have also having H1N1 flu vaccine one week before the blood taking. I am quite worry about the high level of my ESR. Did my ESR value show any significant finding? Thanks
|
Hi, thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Insufficient data. You did not mention your age and gender. If your female and aged more than 50, then ESR is elevated as compared to normal middle age subjects. Elevated ESR is not specific for any disease. However, if you have joint pain or gastrointestinal symptoms, then further investigation according to symptoms is advised. Hope to answer your concern. Regards Chat Doctor.

I might have bitten my tongue in my sleep. About 15 yrs ago, I had my salivary gland on the left side of my tongue removed. I recently woke up with a very sore tongue. It hurt to eat, sneeze, cough and talk. the bridge that holds my tongue to the bottom of my jaw is swollen and almost in a bubble. yesterday, I noticed a two small holes that I had already had leftover from my surgery was leaking pus. if I apply pressure more pus comes out. I have been using listerine and salt water gargle. the pain is unbelievable. nothing seems to help. what could this be?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Sore tongue can be due to accidental biting on the tongue. Apply colonel or McCoppin oral ointment topically over the affected area on the tongue. Maintain a good oral hygiene, use lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Take multivitamin tablets. Pus from the surgical side can be due to food accumulation. I would suggest you to visit to the concerned Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done. Avoid eating of hot and spicy food stuffs. Hope this helps out. Regards.

I am male 53 with no other physical problem except no vigor. Presently I am on 20 mg escitalopram in the morning and 15 mg mirtazapine in the night from last few months. I feel ok but no enthusiastic. I workout daily.For real feel good feeling what are your suggestions?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. The medicines you are talking about does not reduce sexual vigor. In that case, I feel, the low sexual vigor could be associated with your age or anxiety related to sexual performance. For the time being, I suggest you to include almonds and milk with your dinner. It should make the difference. Take care. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http

goodmorning, my name is Justin. I am 29, in fairly good physical shape, eat plenty, drink lots of fluids but my problem is that over the last couple weeks i have had headaches that feel like pressure pushing outward from inside my head. some are worse than others but i have no sinus problems and these feel nothing like a migraine. Some are only 30 min but some last hours on end. it is not affected by light, sound, stress, whether or not i eat or anything. My bp is in good range so i just dismiss them as headaches. Then today i got home from work and went to the restroom and while i was in there i lost all vision, mobility, sound, thought, evrything. I heard myself breathing but it sounded like i was breathing into a fan or machine and like my head was being shook real fast from side to side. It lasted maybe 5 secs and i was back. now i am a bit shaky all over and my head is pounding. should i be worried???

Hi! This morning I pricked myself with an Insulin syringe from a stage 3 Diabetic Patient and my finger bleeds a bit. What will be the cause of this? Im very worried. Im 24 years old, 55 in height and 130lbs in the family of my mother they a a diabetic history.
|
Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Please do not worry thinking about diabetes transmission. Since diabetes is not a blood-borne disease, there is no chance of developing diabetes due to needle prick injury. Diabetes is hormonal disorder mediated by impaired insulin action. In case of type 2 diabetes, the probability of developing diabetes increases to those who have positive family history. On the other hand, we should be careful when dealing with blood related events during injection, shaving etc. because blood-borne diseases like Hepatitis B, AIDS etc. may transmit through this from affected person. But you need not worry because you were just pricked and bleed a bit. So relax. Hope this helps you. Wish you good health.

What i sthe significance of a bloood pressure of 111 over 70 and a pulse rate of 80 bpm?I weigh 250 lbs. I exercise 1/2 hour each day (recumbant bicycle for 12 miles in 33 minutes with hill climbing program for changing resistance) and am active in many outside activities including cycling, canoeing, walking...I take Ezetrol for reduction of chloresterol.
|
Hello, This blood pressure is absolutely normal, no need to worry, however You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity.

Hi Doctor !! Iam Pooja..Age 33 Height -5 ft 3 inch and weight 56 kg and normal having no medical history but was trying to conceive for the past 6-7 months..I had two mature follicles from each ovaries on letrozole-5mg( from CD-3 to CD-7), which got ruptured naturally at 19mm and 20mm on day 13 and we had unprotected sex every alternate day till day 24th. I was advised by my Dcotor to take Duphastan twice a day from day 19th for ao day!!Iam on day 21. What are the chances of my getting pregnant? All test inclusing HSA is normal!
|
Hi, chance to conceive in one cycle with help of medicines is 7 to 10 percent only even if everything is fine. So, you need to try at least 6 cycles to get the maximum chance of pregnancy. Take phaeton as prescribed and do a urine pregnancy test after stopping the phaeton. You may not get your periods immediately after stopping phaeton. It may take 1 to 2 weeks time for periods to come. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

I have had a head cold and productive cough for about 3 weeks. I have not felt bad (with the exception of being stopped up) or ran fever the whole time. Now my back hurts on the left side and it feels like I may have pulled something. Could this have any correlation?
|
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. My recommendation is to visit your local doctor to rule out pneumonia, any infection or inflammation involving the spine etc. In case of a bad pneumonia you may have back pain, so occurs in spinal pathology. In cough and fever for more than 2 weeks, tuberculosis must also be ruled out. Any other lung pathology should also be ruled out. A complete blood count, CRP, sputum for microscopic examination and culture, chest X-ray pa view may be done. Your doctor will decide whether any further investigation will be needed depending upon the clinical findings. For any further questions please write back to us. Regards.

ive been having really really bad anxiety lately, to the point where i think i may have an anxiety disorder, but my mum wont take me to the doctor for it. shes big into natural stuff so she doesnt want me taking anything prescription but nothing natural helps
|
Hello, You have told you are having anxiety disorders. You have not mentioned your symptoms but if we consider anxiety disorder as your diagnosis then you definitely need to consult a psychiatrist. Natural remedies doesn't help all patients. You need to start on antianxiety pills which you should take at least for year. Meanwhile, you start doing some meditation, relaxation, and regular exercise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a compression fracture C3 and a crush fracture C4/C5. the pain in my neck is unbearable. I find if I look up to say hand a light to my husband, next thing I know I am on the floor, dry retching. I have no recollection of hitting the floor Is it best to put replacement disks in C3/4 and C4/C5 or fuse my neck and have little or no free movement in my neck? PSHx disc replacement L4/5 and L5/S1, I was part of the trial of the procedure 14 years ago. I am Leidan Factor 5. Have had 6 DVT,s and X2 PEs. I also suffer from pheripheral neuropathy of both lower limbs, up to 5 cms past my knee caps. Currently I am taking arava [chemo drug] for auto immune arthritis and IVIG for Tx of neuropathy. The immunologist I am under does not know if it will work. Based on this I see myself as a Lab rat. Any thoughts???
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you are having C 3 level compression fracture and C 4-5 crush fracture, you need a thorough clinical neurological assessment. If there are any neurological findings the MRI reports will be compared to the clinical neurological findings. Also, planning for the surgery will be totally clinically assessment induced. If there are cord compression which are leading to the weakness and paralysis of the limbs than the surgery can be planned. Also, replacement of the disc at these levels is little difficult and fusing the neck bone is also difficult since the bone already have a fracture too. In my clinical practice, such cases require a thorough clinical examination and a discussion with the panel of surgeons to reassess the prognosis of the condition. For the pain management there will be an option to try out depending upon the severity of the pain. Also, I will recommend you to take a complete neurological clinical assessment and post which the euro surgeon will have an opportunity to discuss further with colleagues to make a possible help towards you. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

hi docs!i am Saugat from Nepal.My father is of 53 yrs.From last 3 yrs he has been suffering from high rate palpation about 120 per minute.My father does have Br. asthma too.He has visited many doctors but none of them and none of their medicine can cure palpation.At beginning of this,my father first consulted a local doctor and he prescribed medicine like Lorel 1 mg & Inderal 10mg for 2 yrs.But it didnt suit so my father left it and consulted Dr.Raut,one of the top heart specialist of country.Then he priscribed medicine like Dilcontin 90 mg & Calaptin 120 mg but this two medicine lead to high rate pulpation,extreme chest burn,back burn,dizziness,aasthma.etc.So after 3 month of their use doctor told to leave it and began to use Zapiz 0.5 mg from last 4 month and still continuing.But my fathers high pulpation has not been cure yet.The trend is continuing.Now my father is getting harrased and me too..please!!i request u to tell me what to do to cure this high pulpation?????
|
First do u have any ECG report. Is it showing any abnormalities. What I can suggest, first get one thyroid test done. Secondly is he inhaler on regular basis if yes then one content in inhaler is albuterol or formoterol or levosalbutamol, this content causes palpitations tremors and other complaints. So you asked your physician to remove this content from inhaler. Or sometimes if bronchial asthma is not controlled then it causes low oxygen level in blood and palpitations.

I lifted 2 bags of 40 lb H2O softener salt by their handle (one in each hand); I immediately felt and heard a popping sound in my low back (1st the left, then the right). Moments later, felt and heard popping in my neck. No pain, just tightness in those areas. I am 57 yrs female.
|
Hi, In my opinion i don't think you should worry unless pain persists or increases I think it is just a kind of muscular spasm due to overusing or overstretching your muscle origins. It is revealed by cold compresses for the first 48 hrs with physiotherapy and massages with topical gels containing muscle relaxants and NSAIDs, painkiller like Advil, bed rest and relax and avoid overusing these muscles again will be effective otherwise I suggest MRI and CT on cervical vertebrae to exclude minor fissures or nerve compression due to neurovascular herniation. Please consider some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Hello, 6days ago i went to the hospital and tested h-pylori positive and was given an eso kit for h-pylori. i have been having problems with my chest- coughing and sometimes blocked to the point of losing my voice but after an x-ray the doctor said my chest was ok, could there any connection between h-pylori and the chest problem? i am 52years, weighing 63kgs and 56
|
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Noted you are having h.pylori infection... It can lead gastritis like inflammatory condition... If along with gastritis acid reflux associated then coughing can occur by irritation. Reffered chest pain can also occur because of that.... But loss of voice not present because of that. Although now you are normal check your larynx by indirect laryngoscopy which is non-invasive procedure...Meanwhile, complete treatment for h.pylori. Avoid gastric irritants like tea, coffee, smoking, alcohol etc. Fruit more. Hope your concern solved. Take care. Chat Doctor.

I know that I have a hernia near my incision site from previous abdominal surgery. It is a bubble. Today as I stood up if felt like it popped and now I have lots of pressure around the bubble and feel very bloated. The only way to describe the feeling is tightness in the area and some shortness of breath. What could be causing this?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are mostly having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) due to incisional hernia. This makes gastroesophageal sphincter lax. And because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause gaseous feeling, bloating, chest tightness, pressure etc. Gaseous distention of stomach can prevent lungs to expand fully. So patient feels breathing difficulty. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. If you are still not improving after these lifestyle modifications then you need surgical correction for incisional hernia.

Hello my daughter has heart palpatations frequently and occasional high and then low blood pressure. She has also nosebleeds. She works extremely hard and has a stressful personality always worrying althought she doesnt have to worry as she has a great job and no marriage or kids. She has been having stomach problems but I put that down to a bit too much alcohol over the years and too much sushi, her diet is much better now and her stomach is getting better although she cant tolerate alcohol without it upsetting her stomach as does chocolate and carbs? I am at my wits end to know what exactly it is she is suffering from. She is a responsible person does not take any drugs, exercises regularly and is normal in every other way.
|
Hello, I suggest your daughter see a doctor and do some routine blood tests, an ECG, a cardiac sonography, a chest x-ray, a24h ECG Holder monitoring and to control the blood pressure sometimes a day for a few days. These are to give the doctor basic information about the patient health conditions and to conclude if there is a health problem and to give the right treatment if there is one. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Ive notice a lump under the skin at the base of my shaft of my penis. What do i do? I haven t been sexually active since July 2011. And It just appeared last month and hasn t gone down. What do I do? And is there some home remedy that I can use to treat it?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may lump on shaft of penis. It may be due to some sexual transmitted disease. So you should consult your doctor and go for examination or send me the image. It will help you to search the exact cause. 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.

Hello, my daughter just had a thoracic peritoneal shunt inserted in her spine due to a spinal cord tumor she was diagnosed back in 2011. she now does not after any feeling to her left leg although she can move her toes she has no feeling whatsoever. Is this a common symptom and is this just temporary?
|
Hi, thank you for providing a brief history of your daughter. Since you mentioned the spinal cord tumor as the history I feel you should get self assessed once by the neurologist and also a fresh scan which has to be compared with the previous one will provide some input. The use of EMG and NCV will reveal the nerve involved. Also to not delay such things as each day a brain develops and records all happening in human body. Taking a proper guidance at a proper time will be of surely importance. Even you mentioned the sensory and motor thing. Looks like the sensory part of the nerve is malfunctioning, but the nerve as a whole is good.maybe you can discuss with the Neurologist about the physical therapy as it is non-invasive and physical therapist knows the sensory integration technique which can help get sensory system function again. With the grace of God I wish to see your daughter in future dancing and jumping. God bless her, and please take the wise decision.

I am a 45 year old female. I have been having pain in right upper abdomen for 6 years. An emergency room doctor said last week that I have a lot of gallstones & my take home sheet says I have Biliary colic. My PCP does not seem concerned & I dont have consultation till the 29th. I was told that if there is a stone in the duct that I have to have a procedure called ERCP. The hospital I will be going to does not have equipment to do this procedure. What should I do?
|
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Gall stones need to be operated. If stones are present with in gall bladder, it can be done as elective procedure, not to worry, avoid fatty food in diet. If stone is causing obstruction of biliary duct that needs to operated on emergency basis. If you notice jaundice, itching of skin, further severe pain abdomen need to consult doctor immediately. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

Hi I got the Implanon inserted 2 and a half months ago and I ve recently started to get lower back pain.. I ve been taking nuerofen to help and Oruvail for any swelling but nothing seems to have helped.. Is there anything else I could get subscribed for this?
|
Implant is used as contraceptive devise which helps for prevention from getting pregnant. And it also has many side effects. You can search for its on internet. And I suggest talk to your doctor regarding the lower back pain also. As well there are many other safer ways are also available to prevent pregnancy, so I suggest thinking on that option rather than this. Now for your lower back pain since it is only at back level looks like muscular pain, and you can take some painkiller along with muscle relaxant tablets. Along with this do take some physiotherapy treatment and follow spinal exercise for better result. For major back pain radiating to legs along with numbness, it needs to check with MRI of back to rule out other spinal issue. And based on the MRI report the treatment will be planned. Here it can be conservative with medical management for minor problem or surgical correction for major issues. Talk to your orthopedic doctor in detail for proper treatment planning. You can also use hot and cold pack on your back for some more relief by relaxing your soft tissue. Take care.

I recently starting formula feeding my 4 mth old son, whenever he drinks the formula milk he breaks out into rashes all over his body. my doctor says he is reacting towards the cows milk protein in the formula. Are there any other infant formulas that i can try ?
|
Let me emphasize on the fact that breast milk is the best possible feed for a baby and there are can be no alternatives for the same. In case breast milk cannot be procured, early weaning can be done between 4-5 months of age by introducing semisolid into the diet. Enfamil or Zero lac are soy based formula which can be given as alternatives to cow milk or cow milk based formula. You may give any of these a try.

Hi doctor i have a big question Okay so me and my boyfriend were trying to get pregnant for a while we have tried 3 times and fail this last time we tried was weird my last period was on December 28 2012 I supposed to get my period at the end of January or so but I didn t I was late for 3 weeks and got it on February 13, 2013 for 4 days which was weird cuz my period always last for 6 or 7 days and yes it was dark red like normal when are my fertility days to get pregnant? This last time we had sex when he got up of me something was leaking it looked like water I don t know if it was his sperm or it was me please help me!!!
|
Cellophane you for your query. The leaking fluid you describe is seminal fluid, which liquifies after some time, and might appear watery. Regarding your fertile days, if you have a regular 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs on day 14, so for 2 days before and after it, are your fertile days. If your periods are irregular, you cannot count the fertile days in this manner. You should use Ovulation Predictor kit or follicular monitoring for knowing precise dates. Also, you should get yourself investigated for irregular menstrual bleed. It could be early pregnancy which miscarried, stress, anxiety, weight changes, thyroid hormonal fluctuations or polycystic ovaries. The consultation is all the more important since you are trying to conceive. Take care

Hi I am a 31 year old male who has been suffering from a buldging disc for the last 7 months, L5 - s1 are the areas that are affected. While there has been an improvement over the last month I still have pain in my left glute, I m very sporty and have been unable to take part in football for past 7 months. I m unable to stretch calf and glute on left side because of the pain, is there any way I can get rid of this pain?

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain on the legs with bulging disc. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression, neuropathy, DVT, muscle spasm or multiple Sclerosis, but in your case the symptoms is due to disc problem. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon as well as psychiatrist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe methotrexate, anti-inflammatory, gabapentin long with nerve supplement and recommend physical therapy. I would suggest you to do light stretching exercises along with gentle massage, apply warm compresses on entire leg and take muscle relaxants like orthodox MR. Do not sit or stand for long time in one position, do yoga, meditation and keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes. There are therapies available like traction. Ultrasound or electrical stimulation. If medication and therapies doesn't work then doctor may recommend surgery. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi Doc, I had lower back injury ten years ago the was treated in XXXX. last year the pain came as a result of lifting a box carelessly. the pain was so sevear that i was given Tab/Cap naproxen and daixepam. the pain vanished. About a week ago it has started again. I still have some of the tabs. should l repeat the tabs/
|
Hi there, Thanks for writing in. I would suggest you apply a pain relief gel like voting gel/ diclofenac gel on the affected back region. 15 minutes later apply hot fomentation to the affected back region. If this doesn't help, you could take a naproxen tab after food. In the meantime, do not lift heavy objects. Once the injury has completely healed, you might want to do some back strengthening exercises to prevent it from happening again. Hope this helps.

hey my head feels so numb everytime i wake up and my right legs hurts alot for long time off and on and my right ankle been swollen off and on and both feets hurts so bad when its very cold and i have been to dr and hospitals they cant find whats wrong with my leg and ankle i have been doing all the tests
|
Hello, I would explain that the numbness in the head is not related to the leg and ankle pain. It could be caused by a wrong position during sleep. I recommend changing your pillow and performing regular physical activity. Regarding the leg and ankle pain, I would recommend checking vitamin D plasma levels, inflammation tests and an ankle MRI. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hello ... i am feeling depressed for the last 3 years . I have never been to a doc because i feel it will go away naturally. but no improvement. Part reason to this is my lack of self conficedence. i feel trouble in understanding things & in making quick reactions. for the past few days i have started real pain around my neck for which i had to take pain killer for. i recently got out of jaundice also. plz help
|
Hi, This is good that you have know that you are depressed, next step should be you must consult a Physician/Psychiatrist. As you are already having some features of depression for long time. It is always easy to treat and even therapeutic response is much better if you treat it early. As you have recovered from jaundice any concomitant disease may increase problem of Depression. Do not take too much painkillers. They may have unwanted effects. Once again It would be nice if you take proper consultation Hope you will improve soon. Good Luck

Hello, a few days ago I accidently sliced above my finger nail (middle finger) while working on a art project. I didn t lose a big amount of blood but there was a lot coming out. I washed it and neosporin on it and a band-aid. It has been hurting and swollen, but what I want to know is why is it turning purple around the cut (it hurts whenever I touch it)?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The purple discoloration reflects damage the area surrounding the laceration. Pain is also not uncommon as a result of receiving a laceration. The signs and symptoms of infection are persisting swelling, pain, redness, increased warmth in the area, discharge. If the cut is small, you may want to keep it uncovered if it is not at risk of becoming too dirty. Keeping them covered can be associated with infections. If you are unsure whether an infection is present, you should visit your doctor for an assessment. I hope this helps

A few days ago i used summer s eve soap but im allergic to the spray and didnt realize it till after i ised it a coiple of times and stop for awhile bt on that particular day i wasnt paying attention to the soap. The next day i started feeling ichyness than today i saw a few red bumps ive used destin in the past and it worked. So i put some on tonight nd hope it feels better in the morning. Should i be worried about anything
|
Hi, As per your statement I understand that you are allergic to sprays, for which destiny ? Gave relief. Now after applying soap you developed itching red bumps for which also you used destiny which gives relief. Any anti-allergic Chat Doctor. First we must try to analyze the cause (if possible) for the allergy. Your history and dermatologists examination are the deciding factor to find what may be the cause for the allergy. Avoiding those particular item and any allergy producing medications, food, smoke, smell, environment should be avoided. Periodical deforming is must. Best Wishes

I had genital warts removed 17 years ago and way before the hpv shots were given out...I have never had them since...I have had 5 children since...my husband has never had them and we have been together for 16 years...should I worry?how would I know if I have hpv
|
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. I am sorry to hear that you had genital warts as a young adult. Genital warts are by definition an HPV infection. You have been symptom free for over 16-17 years, so you have produced your own antibodies. If you no longer have warts and your husband has not had any outbreaks then the chance for him getting the is very low. I feel I can reassure you that you do not need to worry. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again for any of your medical questions.

Is it truly possible to have maggots in your gums? If so what are the causes, how is this possible. I recently watched a video on youtube of a dentist removing a mans teeth to reveal maggots. This not only is probably the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, but it is also quite alarming to me as I didnt know that this could happen. I have several cavities I have not had filled, so as you could assume I am very concerned. Please help!
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have cavities in your teeth, having cavities doesn't means having maggots, you have Caries which results in Cavity, You go to dentist and get it restored, if it is deep go for Root canal treatment, don't worry go for Local examination and Investigations IOWA x-rays Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health. Regards

Hi, about a month ago, I noticed a swollen lump in my groin area (probably a lymph node). It is about 1.5 cm in diameter, has not really grown or decreased in size, and is hard, fixed, and not movable. I do not have any other symptoms. I am becoming increasingly concerned, as my research suggests lymphoma. Are there any other less serious possible explanations?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You are right with your research - the most possible cause will be lymph nodal enlargement.2. And the symptoms a and location do suggest the lymph nodal enlargement.3. The lymph nodal enlargement is seen in case of localized or systemic inflammation / infection / any systemic diseases. Other possible cause - vascular pathology.4. This can be definitive diagnosed with the help of ultrasound - which will help in assessing the nature and its source and extensions. Guided FNAC will gives type of cells responsible for the enlarged lymph nodes.5. Suggest to get an appointment and see your doctor and get needful investigations done. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

Hi, im 6 weeks pregnant and i want to terminate the pregnancy, but its forbidden to do such procedure in my country plus its againt the beliefs in my religion but i really need to do so, what is the natural method to end this pregnancy? like jumping exercises or taking some kind of herbals, etc...
|
**1. Medical termination of pregnancy [MTP] laws remains the same even for Ayurveda or any other Alternate System of Medicine. Under the act, abortion can be provided only by a registered medical practitioner who has the necessary qualification, training and experience in performing MTP and only at a place which has the facilities, meeting standards specified in the Rules and Regulations of the MTP Act. It is illegal and unethical to try abortion through internet search and web information.PS. Moreover, abortion is associated with serious complications, a few even life-threatening ones. Therefore, I do recommend consulting a Doctor prior to initiate any step from your side.2. Ayurveda doctor has to establish the following facts before and after the procedure

for about 2 I haven t been able to take a deep breathe. i want to yawn all the time. sometimes it help me get a deep breathe. a inhaler does not help. went to the er and had ekg, chest xray and lab. everything was fine but my sugar it was 300. i am a type 2 diabetic. dr said it was allergies.

Hi. I can understand your concern. Asthma is most common allergic disease which is not a curable disease but definitely controllable, by controlling the same you can lead a symptom free life. Usually presents with cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing and chest tightness. If not treated appropriately can be life-threatening. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi....im suffering from stomach disorder since five months..as soon as I eat food...i start burping, the food gets stuck in the food pipe only.doest go down...there is a lot of burning in the food pipe....bloating of the stomach..burning in the rectum..dizziness...i feel alot of pressure on the food pipe.....could u plz tell me what exactly is my problem...???
|
HI. This is a mixture of few problems together and look to be related to each other The food pipe - the is due to swelling of the food pipe along with the loose guarding mechanism at the lower end. This is to not allow the food from stomach to come up. In your case this is loose so allows the food and acid and all to come up so the pain, burning and all problems. Rest of the other problems are due to swelling of the large bowel and all together give you dizziness. Take a proper treatment after upper endoscopy and colonoscopy

|
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). I can understand your concerns regarding your mom.

Hello,I have a almond type shape lump in my left breast. It is approx 1cm long and sits above the areolar at about 11 o clock. I have had it for about 5 months now. It came on just prior to my menstruation, and now I notice it more pre menstrual cycle, and less once my period has passed. It feels mostly moveable at least underneath. I am otherwise healthy, and am 29 years of age. My Aunty has confirmed BRCA1 gene. It is not tender. When I press hard at times It is slightly tender, but nothing at all to be concerned over.Thanks you for your help,Kind regards,Lisa.
|
Hi Lisa ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Considering that your aunty has been confirmed BRCA1 positive, the lump in your breast needs close observation, with a present physical examination by a general surgeon followed by an ultrasound of bilateral breast and maxilla followed by a mammogram bilateral breast. Your treating surgeon might advise you for an excision biopsy for ruling out chances of any malignancy, although it does not look like from the history of changing size with menstrual cycle, which usually occurs with simple fibroadenomas. The management would at the end depend on the clinical findings in breast with maxilla, along with results of related investigations. 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.

my mother is 83 and has congestive heart failure she has become increasingly more and more confused with signs of dementia in the past 3 weeksi noticed her ankles very swollen today and frequent trips to the bathroom to urinate without success is it possible she is going into kidney failure
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has congestive heart failure. Her ankle swelling may be due to that or some kidney problem. She should go for urine routine and microscopic examination, serum creatinine and blood urea level as well as ultrasound abdomen. This will help to search any kidney disease. Then she should take treatment accordingly. Her dementia may be due to age or kidney disease. But she should gob for kidney function test first. 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! Please don't worry but take care; there might be wound/vaginal infection! Well, this is very, very common post-operative complaint that some females get enlarged inguinal lymph nodes following cesarean surgery; we have seen so many cases, but fortunately all were reactive or related to recent minor infections, wound infection, hair follicle infection etc. in recent past. Rarely some lymph nodes turn into abscess that needed surgical Chat Doctor. Therefore, you also need to see your doctor for a detailed examination and if necessary needle biopsy/ultrasound to relieve your concerns. Regards,

Hi, Coming early doing sex is known as premature ejaculation which can be managed with behavioral therapy and certain medicine, so you need not worry, your problem is very much treatable. Worm doesn't appear in semen, this could be semen threads. I would advise you for a battery of investigation like CBC, Liver function test, blood sugar, urine culture, and you may require a course of antibiotics under medical supervision if urine culture comes positive. In my opinion you should follow these guidelines Say No to smoking and Chat Doctor. Spend more time in foreplay and with

i had surgery to get a small cysts removed from my breast i had sex satrurday and my surgery was on monday i am on the nuvaring. i was wondering if anesthesia has any affect on the nuvaring, i did get my period a week and a half after but it was very light i only went through 8 tampons in 3 days. usally i can almost finish a box (super) i only had one day 3 that i bled some what normal. im feeling sick to my stomach i get headaches and am tired all the time. help?
|
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. General anesthesia can induce excessive blood clotting when hormone contraception is used simultaneously. As this is not so in your case, you need not worry about the after effects of surgery. Menstrual pattern can alter after any intervention due to stress and the associated hormone imbalance. Your current symptoms can be a side effect of the medication used during and after the surgery. Please take adequate rest, healthy diet and follow up regularly. Use medication to relieve symptoms. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.

Hi, I have a white patch inside the corner of my mouth (inside cheek) caused because I bite the insides of my cheek. Ive been doing it for years and typically it heals with no problem. This white patch is tough (like a corn on your toe ) and has now been there for about 2 months. My dentist noticed it a month ago and said stop biting my cheek. I have tried by tend to do it still now and then. I am worried that this particular patch is still there and read that it could be linked to oral cancer . Is this a high probability or am I worried about nothing?
|
Hi, Thank you for the query. Repeated trauma to cheek will lead to formation of traumatic ulcer which on long-standing can develop malignancies, the possibility of an area which is repeatedly subjected to trauma turning into cancer is more, so better try to stop the habit of cheek biting. As well check for any sharp margins present on the teeth which is causing cheek bite and treat it by selective grinding technique. Hope this information helps you.

I have been married for almost 9 years. my husband is a very angry and verbally hatefull person. he puts people down including our 8 and 9 year old sons. he is more mean to our youngest son which is his son and nicer to our oldest which is not his biologically (our oldest son doesnt know he is not his biologically). he does very mean things that he know will get a reaction like instigating the kids and myself then yell at us when we get mad cause he thinks its funny(example cleaning our youngest sons ears with q-tip then put the dirty q-tip in his mouth casue he thought it was funny then yelled at me for getting mad and yelled at son for crying) what do i do and how do i get him to get help. I have threatened to leave in the past. he is in army and does deploy and hoinestly i have less problems when he is gone
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anger always comes due to frustrations in life. Frustrations are normal with everyone. People learn to ignore frustrations when they get experienced. Does your husband get angry to circumstances outside your home as he gets angry at your house? His office, bus stand, railway station, neighbors etc. If yes, he might need to get evaluated for anger issues. If NO, just help and motivate him to understand and compare the two situations, and he can be better himself. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http

hello my name is laura i was expriancing left side cramps last night while driving, this is going to sound crazy. and abusive, but i just wanted the cramping to stop. so i lightly punched my self. I have what feel like a knot in my left side. and i feel like i have to puke .
|
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you are having the lack of salt in the body. I would suggest you Chat Doctor. It will improve your cramps immediately. Also in future avoid very cool temperature and take regular calcium and vitamin. Calcium should be 1000 mg daily and vitamin D 60000 unit per week for six weeks. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow-up questions. Thanks

I got side kicked by a horse with shoes on to the inside just above my ankle. It hurt extremely bad! I have taken 2 ibuprofen and 2 Advil and got ice on it right away. And is elevated.Swelling is at a medium but still hurts at the ankle. I can put weight on it and can move it up down a little. There is a pop or click sound. When I point my toe down. Should I get an X-ray got to a dr.? Or let it rest a day before going?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Swelling might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

hello, two days ago i fell backwards and landed on my upper back. i was fine. but yesterday i was really sore and i noticed that i had a stomach ache the whole day. it wasnt in my stomach area but more upper like directly under my rib cage. today the same discomfort and i have been passing a lot of gas and diarrhea. what happened?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to trauma to back there can be injury to vertebra and rib, you may need to do X-ray spine and MRI spine. Due to compression of this nerve root there is back pain. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level.

Hi I knocked my leg a few weeks ago playing cricket, originally it was very bruised and a sharp pain, now the bruising has gone but a large indentation remains on the shin bone, this still gives a sharp pain when touched, also if I touch above the indent it gives a tingling lower down my leg and a weird feeling that feels like something is moving under the skin, I also feel a slight numbness in my foot and on the affected part of the leg Cheers
|
The shin-bone lies directly under the skin. There is no muscle between the shin-bone and the skin. Any injury over the shin causes direct injury to shin-bone. sometimes it causes blood collection under the periosteum (thin covering over bone) of shin-bone. It causes sever pain and indentation for 1-2 weeks. The superficial perineal nerve lies on lateral part of leg near the shin-bone and give sensory supplies to some part of leg and upper part of foot. If it gets injured, causes numbness on upper part of foot and some part of leg. Rest, icing, local application of non-irritant analgesic gel and anti-inflammatory analgesics such as ibuprofen will decrease pain and swelling. Nerve enhancer such as pregabalin will be helpful in decreasing numbness. Hope this helps. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Morning, I keep getting spots in the same place on my chest. It starts by swelling upto the size of a 5p or 1p coin and can be really painful and ends, on occassions, bursting with puss and blood. If it does not burst, is remains as a solid lump (not in pain). Can you please advise? Kind regards, Shafiqur Rahman

Hi.it's a possible case of a recurrent cyst (possibly a sebaceous or gelatinous). Unfortunately, these cysts can recur at the same or different site. It is best if you sought consult with a general surgeon for surgical excision. If it's indeed a cyst, the capsule that goes with it should be completely removed during excision for a lesser risk of recurrence. Antibiotic treatment would be given accordingly, especially if the cyst is infected. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

I am 37 years old male. I have a very big memory loss but not dymensia. I forget everything i do even words names . i dont thing this is normal cause i have very bad memory even near everyone near me(friends,family etc.) i dont smoke, drink alcohol, taking drugs, i am nervous . i work about 55 hours a weak . still i am always tired . i wish i can become normal in memory,
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are just 37. Memory loss at your age is supposed to be non-existent until there is serious underlying problem. Busy and professional people do have some problem with their memory and therefore they always keep schedules and carry a pocket book. This does not mean that they have memory loss. I think the same is applicable to you. On the contrary, everyone forgets so many things in their life and unless they can recall at a later stage, such forgetfulness cannot be called clinical memory problem. Don't worry. You are clear from my side. Do not get anxious and apprehensive. Keep a log and schedule. 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.
