HI there I had my 2 an 1/2 years ago but I still seem tooo get a. Lot of severe lower back pain I had a normal birth but they used forceps and from then it really hurts especially if I lie flat on my back I really cant understand as Ive never suffered with a back problem before can u please help Im 29 and my height is 5 foot 8 inches
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12 and weakness of muscles and bone. You should get vitamin D3 and B12 tested. You need to do MRI to rule out other causes. Back exercises, neurotrophic such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC) give relief. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.

My mom(45 yrs old) has fever for 7 days now; she has rashes(mosquito bite like spots) on her face, and chest. The fever doesn t subside! She was taken to a doctor a couple of days back, who says its measles, but its been a week and she still has fever. My mom had measles in her childhood, is it possible to get measles again? are these measles symptoms? Please help, Thank you ~Paul
|
Hi! The description sounds like a case of measles, but it could be some other viral infections also! Natural infection of measles generally gives lifelong protection/immunity against a second time infection but if some condition leads low immunity power, it might lead to recurrence of measles. Anyways, you need to rule out other viral exanthems like rubella, ticks/typhus, flu etc... Please see a general physician or infectious disease specialist for some tests, confirmation and management. Regards,

Hi, I was just brushing my teeth 10 minutes ago and while I was brushing my tongue I gagged (which is normal for me). After that gag, so white stuff appeared far back in my gums stuck inside a whole/opening. I pushed it out by pressing beside it. White stinky stuff that felt soft came out. Is this an infection or what
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. As there was stinky white stuff from a hole in the gum in the very back region of mouth, then it is most probably due to the hole from which wisdom tooth is about to erupt. Many a time if the wisdom tooth is impacted the hole or opening is formed in the gum, but the tooth does not erupt and there is food lodgment in that area. So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist if there is any problem and get an x-ray of the area done. If the wisdom tooth is impacted and if there is any problem repeatedly like infection and bad smell you can get the tooth extracted. As of now always gargle after meals and do not let food accumulate in that area. Hope this helps. Regards.

I have a very mild stinging in my lower abdomen, almost like being poked by a needle. I had sex about two weeks ago and i am late by seven days. Im not ruling out pregnancy but would this be normal for menstrual pain? I am 23 and have never suffered from mebstrual cramps. My breasts are also very sensitive.
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a serum Chat Doctor test to rule out pregnancy. In case of its persistence and your menstrual period getting more delayed, I would consider an ultrasound of abdomen. In the meantime, if you get your normal periods, then nothing to worry, as then you are sure that it was pre-menstrual pain. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem if it permits. 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.

HI there, I ve been to the Dr. twice this week for some lower back pain and discomfort. I m also feeling some pain in my abdomen and a little discomfort in my groin area. I think I may be noticing a little burning sensation after some of my urination s, but really not much. I also have some slight swollen glands in my neck. I had a blood test the first time, it came back normal. I had a urinalysis completed the second time and it was fine. I m still having some lower back pain and discomfort and it s also in my abdomen area. I don t know if I m doing this to myself or not, but it is uncomfortable. Just so you know I take medication for herpes and it s never really a problem, but maybe that s it. Thank you.

Dear patient Your pain might be arising from renal stone. This pain is described as colicky pain caused by smooth muscle contraction trying to push stone forward. I would advise ultrasound of kidney ureter and bladder to confirm diagnosis. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. If report is positive need to consult expert urologist. If report is normal start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combined twice a day for 7 days. All the best

Hi , I m shushant 23 ys old suffering from hair loss since 2 years..I have advised to take vb7 tablet, zydip c lotion and protar k shamoo.Please suggest me nutrients required for hair growth.Also if the issue is due o hormonal imbalance how to control it?
|
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor, The speed of hair growth varies based upon genetics, gender, age, hormones. It may be reduced by nutrient deficiency (i.e., anorexia, anemia, zinc deficiency) and hormonal fluctuations (i.e., menopause, polycystic ovaries, thyroid disease). Essential omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin B12, and iron, prevent a Chat Doctor. Vitamins A and C, which help with production of sebum and provide a natural hair conditioner. Protein promote hair growth. Biotin functions to activate certain enzymes that aid in metabolism of carbon dioxide as well as protein, fats, and carboy

I have an infection of the gums which my dentist has prescribed antibiotics . I recently went for follow up and was taken off the antibiotics. The infection is not fully healed but has stopped releasing pus into my mouth. The dentist said that it is not related to tooth or jaw. Unsure what is causing infection and has referred to oral surgeon. In the interim I have a 7 hour flight in 2 days. Is it safe to fly like this and how likely is it for the infection to start back up immediately. I stopped the antibiotics yesterday.
|
Hello & welcome information is little short in terms weather whole gums are infected or only there is one segment. Because if infection is in upper gums than this may be related to sinus also, as your dentist is saying that this situation is not related to teeth or jaw. If problem is with whole gums than this may be a periodontal infection & there is no such contraindication for journey. But still before leaving meat your maxillofacial surgeon because any confirmatory statement can be given only after clinical examination. Thanks & take care

What do you advise if the testicular biopsy report says , maturation is arrested I almost all102 - 114 cross sections of seminiferous tubules at the primary spermatid stage, and each tubule contains 3-10 small rounded spermatids each. One tubule also cintain 1-2 spermatoza.
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorIt is means that the production of sperm is not normally taking place there must be some underlying cause and this need to be ruled out, could be past history of trauma or infection (Virus) can go for another expert opinion, you have not mentioned the problem here for that you had to get done the biopsy this was important here, without this given suggest could be different, take care, have a nice day.

My son is 4 yrs old. He suffered from allergic bronchitis 2 months before. The doctor started l montus kid tablet and advised to continue for 6 months. I thought that continuos intake would result in somoe side effects. So I am giving him only when he is having problems. Is it ok? But within these 2 months he is getting running nose and throat pain again and again. He is having mild adenoid also. Please suggest me whether I have to give him Lmontus kid continuosly for 6 months
|
Hi thanks for asking question... The tablet you are using can be helpful if taken prophylactically.... It will prevent release of inflammatory mediator esp.leukotrine if taken before allergen exposure.... So according to doctor advise take it. If side effect occurs it can be manageable with consultation of doctor .Meanwhile, avoid exposure to dust, pollen etc......if needed allergen test can be done.... Regular follow up done. Take care.

I AM 24 yo and i have facial hair and body hair ,but some places have a light hair and others have thick hair in my face and my chest and body what should i do to increase my facial and chest hair and body hair and to be all thicker and have a normal View ....?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Facial and body hair thickness depends on the amount of male hormone in the body. You can see the majority of people with scarce body hair. Majority will not have thick facial hair even at their middle age. I mean to say that you should not worry about such silly matters. Thickness of body hair is never a determinant of your personality or behavior. There are no tried and tested medicines which can improve body and face hair growth. Please understand. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http

Thank you . I have had multiple sclerosis since I was in my 20 s with double vision , and blindness in one eye and unable ot walk at various times. I have been in remission most of my life since then but recently had a flair up and my hands went numb. I can and do function but it is irritating and difficult to use my hands as I used to. I was told the hormone HGH helps with numbness issues. but I know nothing more about that subject. Please advise. I have a BS in Biology from Penn State but am not up on new developments Mona Rioux YYYY@YYYY

HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, and sorry for your medical condition the multiple sclerosis, let me tell you something about this disease, the clinical manifestation actually appears and disappears with uncertain time period some time the frequency of this have short time period and some time this could be lengthy, medicine just gives placebo effects some newer Chat Doctor.

My husband had stage 4 cancer in his parotid gland on the right side of his face. He recently had a PET scan which revealed he had no tumors. He never feels well, I was looking at the symptoms of fibromyalgia and he has everyone of them. Could it be he has this disease now?
|
Treatment for fibromyalgia is first relaxed your body and mind because the symptoms are more when you are in stress and anxiety. Next you can use cold pack and hot pack to pain full muscles alternately to relax the soft tissue. You can also take physio therapy treatment for some more relaxing and healing effect on soft tissues. Here physio therapist will also suggest for few more stretching and muscle tanning exercises do follow that gradually. Also take suggestion on postural correction and follow it. There are a couple of medications can be suggested but since he is already on cancer treatment I suggest that should be suggested by your oncologist only. And it may be possible that he has pain because of prolong treatment of cancer with more stress on body and no physical exercises. And it may not be fibromyalgia. So you can also discuss this in detail with your oncologist to have further guidance. I am sure he will be fine with muscular pain if you follow the above steps. Take care.

I have done ultra sonic on my kidneys last days, the doctor found small lesion 4,3mm in cortex of my left kidney, he mentioned to me, no problem and advice me donot think about it it could be stone or angiomyolipoma, but im very warry is there any stone could be imbeded in the cortex?. if it angiolipoma what can i do. by the way, this lesion was detected befor with the same radius (4mm) since 18 month ago. what can you advice me please Sir?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Angiomyolipoma is a benign tumor commonly seen in kidneys. It is a bunch of vascular, smooth muscle and fat containing tissues. If it has not grown from 4 mm in 18 months then there is no reason to worry. Angiomyolipomas are often found incidentally when the kidneys are imaged for other reasons. Angiomyolipomas found incidentally usually require no therapy (when small), although follow-up is recommended to assess for growth. Larger tumors, or those that have been symptomatic, can be electively embolized and / or resected with a partial neurectomy.

Hi .. Plz help me out, I am very worried and confused also. As we dont know about the pregnancy I had chest X-ray during very early stage of pregnancy.Let me share the sequences wise details with you which were happened with me.1. My period date is 4th March2. Me & my husband stopped planning from 12th March because we need baby3. From 18th march I had fever & go to hospital for treatment. Doctor suggest for blood test , so we go for it and its detected typhoid. Doctor has given some anti-typhoid medicine. After 2 day again I had fever, so doctor suggested that I should be admit in hospital for 2-3 day for monitoring the fever.4. I was admitted on 1st of april, since last 15-20 day I had chest pain and told to doctor about the pain, he suggested we should go for chest X-ray for further medicine treatment. We told doctor about our planning so he said before X-ray we go for UPT. So we did it, but its negative. So on 2nd april in morning I had chest x-Ray.5. I discharged from hospital from 3rd of april,but from 4th of april I had strong stomach pain due to medicine, as I dont suit the allopatChatDoctoredicine. I had problem during latrine even I couldnt sit properly.6. I was waiting for my period, So on 6th april morning, we fixed the appointment with gynecologist. Again we go for UPT but its negative.7. After 2-3 day I feel relax but worried about the period, so we go for UPT at home on 12th april evening and this time we get the positive result.8. So early in the morning we fixed the appointment with the gynecologist. Share each and everything with her. Had sonography. She said nothing to worry everything will be fine because x-ray was done in very early stage of pregnancy i.e. at the time of fertilization. Doctor has stated the treatment.9. I was discussed the matter with 2-3 doctor and pathologist, they also said nothing to worry. But I want to know your expert opinion in this regards. Is there any problem of my unborn baby, on its health etcplz help me out

Thank you for trusting us with your query.I'll try to explain with numbers so that you can understand about the various magnitudes. Strength of radiation of Imaging studies like X-Ray, CTS are measure in RADS.usually an exposure of 10 rads will cause harm.1 RAD= 1000 mill rashest X-Ray is approximately 60 mill rads. As you see, It is highly unlikely that your baby will be affected. What's more is that having a. X-ray even before you know you are pregnant has lesser risk. Relax and be assured that your baby is fine. In the future, X-rays should be avoided but if your doctor d coded you absolutely need them, it is better to get it done with adequate precautions' no to minimize the risk to your baby. Hope Ive reassured you and if you have further query let us know. Congratulations.wish you both the best of health.

I have a problem of numbness in my right middle finger in the early morning hours. My Doctor prescribed Neuro kind gold capsules one at bed time for 10 days.I do not have B.P or sugar.What is the function of the above Vitamin? please let me know.what could be the cause of this problem?
|
Hello, Well, since the recent news of how poorly efficacious most multivitamin/multi-mineral preparations do their jobs has become publicized it grounds my feelings that I've had for many years which is anything of a MULTI-anything is likely, not worth the capsule covering it comes in. And Durkin Gold is no exception in my opinion. If your right middle finger is numb early morning only then, I wouldn't necessarily be suspicious of a nutritional deficiency so much as I might be concerned about a VASCULAR deficiency or a compression phenomenon going on at least over part of the MEDIAN NERVE that sub-serves sensory function of that finger. I would also recommend measuring serum levels of whichever B vitamin your doctor is apparently concerned about that would cause such an ISOLATED presentation of 1 single middle finger on 1 hand (not a likely presence of a B12, B6, folate, or niacin deficiency in my opinion). Then, based on those lab results I would prescribe the direct and single entity to the patient as necessary. Otherwise, I might consider doing vascular Doppler studies and possibly an EMG/NCV study and maybe even an Ultrasound of the carpal tunnel which could avoid having to stick needles into the arm/hand. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Last night after urinating I was discharge with semens...I noticed white sticky fluid on tip of my penis. Thereafter I feel pain and unable to urine, then I masturbate to release my self which create a lot of pain in my kidney and testis as well. This usually don t happend to me but this case has been repeated to me after a gap of three months. Please advise
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum Semen cannot get discharged unless you were sexually aroused. The white colored material which you noticed may be pre-cum which can be detected whenever anyone gets excited. And pain and be seen sometimes if the act of masturbation/intercourse is prolonged too much without ejaculation. So, please give details regarding any other symptoms/history of renal stones for further suggestions. All the best & will be waiting for your details.

Sir, Am having diabeties, due to that i did whole body check-up, in that result my kidney proteins result is ++, for that am using medicine name nefrosave , i even went to eye doctor for kidney, eyes are normal, in this situation does it cause any problem if i do masturbation daily twice
|
Hello, As per your concern I would like to tell you that you can easily masturbate as many times as you want unless and until your facing any penile related complication like early discharge or any pain during the process, as far as your proteinuria is there it has no relation with the sexual activity for that purpose you should be just taking care of your kidney by taking your medicine regularly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...HI I AM UMAR FAROOQ ONE MONTH BEFORE I FEEL PAIN IN MY BOTH ARM AND BURNING IN MID OF CHEST I ADMIT IN HOSPITAL DOCTORS TOOK THE BLOOD TEST AND TOLED ME YOUR INSIME IS HIGH SO THEY ADMIT ME FOR TREE DAY AND ADVISE ME FOR ECHO TEST AND ENGIOGRAPHY SO ECHO TEST RESULT IS 57% AND FIND TWO CORNARY BLOCK DURING ENGIO.NOW THEAY ASK ME THEY WILL PUT STENT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS RELIABLITY OF STENT AND CAN WE KNOW THE BLOKAGE WITH ECG RESULT THANK
|
Hi There I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you about your queries one by one1. The reliability of the STENTS depends on how well you take your medicines after stenting, how well you take the advised precautions, no smoking (if you do), adapting healthy lifestyle habits life daily morning walks, no junk or fried food, healthy diet, weight control and how your body respond to stent.2. ECG only gives a clue about blockage, accurate assessment is done by Angiography only. I wish you Good health

I am concerned, because the head of my penis is changing color. Some parts of it are purple. Not completely dark purple but somewhat purple. It burns and hurts. I have been tested for stds, HIV and that s all clean. They did however diagnose me with hpv. Doctors have said that it is a yeast infection, and prescribed me some steroidal creams. It still seems to hurt and have been overall feeling awful. It burns and hurts. Blood tests have been done and they come out fine. What else could it be?
|
HPV is not a yeast infection. It is a viral infection that causes genital warts. Steroid creams are not effective for either yeast or HPV. There are no pills or creams that can be taken for HPV. If you have visible lesions, they can be removed by certain procedures. This color change is concerning. Purple color suggests something local with the blood flow, kind of like a bruise. The burning and hurting go along with a blood flow problem, and the overall awful feeling suggests something more significant. These are not typical symptoms of HPV. I suggest you see a urologist or dermatologist specialist to evaluate this more fully, and very soon. Hope this helps.

|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. TACE is trans arterial chemo embolization of tumor. In this technique, the artery or blood vessel supplying the tumor is approached as close to the tumor possible. This can be done by reviewing previous imaging investigations and once this is done, intra-arterial injection of chemotherapeutic Chat Doctor. Once major blood supply to tumor is blocked and chemotherapy agents infused, then the tumor will not get its nutrition and will not grow or grow slowly. The pain is controlled by giving sedatives and not more than a puncture in the groin region. The palliative effect in unresectable HCC using RACE allows local tumor control in 15 to 60% of cases and 5-year survival rates ranging from 8-43%. Please do not worry.

I did hard physical work yesterday and I started getting dullish uncomfortable pains in my chest and back on left side. It also, is in my arms and neck. I still have it today and it gets worse with any physical exertion. I am under a lot of stress and anxiety. I also am noticing shortness of breath and feel dizzy when I get up from a reclining position off the ground. Heart attack? Oops, nevermind. I m broke. Sorry.
|
Hello really appreciate your concernChest pain and shortness of breath is a matter of concern which may be related to heart or lung disease I would like further information to help you Bettencourt age and relevant medical history? Does it associate with sweating or palpitations? Since how long you have this problem? In my opinion you should immediately visit a cardiologist or a general physician for detailed check up and further investigations like EKG and blood for serum cardiac markers to rule out heart disease firstAnother possibility is a lung disease or infection should take deep breath complete bed rest, until diagnosis rules out heart ailments available you can take oxygenThanks for your question wish you good health

I have pain in my hip area and lower back that radiates down both legs. My big toe goes numb all the time. I have hip and groin area. When bending over, I feel so weak and tired in my lower back and legs. When going up stairs, I have to hold onto the railing for fear my knee gives out. I am OK going down stairs. I have muscle spasms all the time in my back and legs and feet. In fact if I sleep 5 hours without waking because of the pain, I am happy. The doctor says that it is just old age. I am a 55 year old female and am usually very active. I have a physical job which I bend, twist and lift light objects from ground level for 8 to 10 hours. After my pain elevates, I feel exhausted. It is not osteoarthritis per a rheumatoid specialist. I am told it is sprain/strain of my lower back. Hip Xrays show nothing.
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As by reading the history I can understand that it is not a RA or a OA factor. Neither its is a muscle strain nor ligament sprain. As per me, it is more of a lumbar spine disc degenerative changes as per the aging process. Taking an MRI scan will help understand the spine pathology and if any disc prolapse, protrusion, herniation is there can be understood. This comes in mind by the classical symptom of radiating pain as in this condition due to nerve impingement there will be a radiating pain and also motor control weakness. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

I accidentally stuck my finger with a needle I had just used to give my dog fluids this morning as I was trying to take it off the line. It did draw blood and is a small spot. Should I worry about getting anything from my dog. He is getting fluids for kidney disease.
|
Hi, happy to help you on your health concern on part of Chat Doctor! In the present case of needle prick injury I would say that yes, you have to take this injury as any other contaminated wound! As per your description, it is more contaminated by the specific fluid you mentioned; there must be some Chat Doctor. .but the amount is negligible therefore not to worry about that. Now you have to think of possible infection and tetanus! Therefore, take antiseptic wash, a toxic and local adhesive for 2/3 days and if this looks unhealthy to you take antibiotics also for 5 - 7 days! Take caution not to get injured again there by rubbing it! Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries. Wishing you the best health!

Hello Team,My name is Pradeep, I am 24 years old. At the age of 7 years pyeloplasty was done to my left kidney and was detected that my right kidney is not functioning.After the surgery I have had no problems and everything is well. Now a days in a diagnosis we found that there is protein loss in urine and recent test result for spot urinary protein was 226mg/dL. I would like to know if this is dangerous and also please let me know from this stage how many years can my kidney function properly.I am having a lot of tension regarding the same please let me know how many years I can survive on the same kidney from now so that I can live with out tension. I also have BP and now a days its around 130/90. Thanks and Regards Pradeep
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement your urinalysis has revealed Proteinuria (226\u00a0mg) Normally about 80 mg of protein is excreted in urine in 24 hours however it increases in kidney disease and in other conditions like infection, UTI.,cystitis and need to be evaluated. Single reading can not be a cause of concern. Repeat it again after 5 days and if shows persistent high levels will need to consult qualified Nephrologist for detail evaluation and get following test done under his guidance .1) Excretion of protein in urine in 24 hours 2) Renal Function test 3) Protein creatinine ration 4) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis 5) Urine culture to rule out infection. Do not worry and do not jump to any conclusion till you are investigated thoroughly and diagnosis has been established. Chat Doctor.

Hi, i fell from a height straight onto my tailbone and landed sitting down on my posterior with my legs in front of me sitting up. i now have pain in my lower back but i can feel it originating from my coccyx to my lower back? im very active and stretching is painful and so is laying on my side. what should i do?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtrauma there may be fibrosis formation. Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside. Use ring cushion and take site bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]Take analgesic like Nicosia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor. If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor. Clinically spinal origin of pain needs to be ruled out, if required MRI spine can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

OUR SON OF 15 MONTHS IS HAPPY HEALTHY AND ACTIVE HE HAS G6PD HE HAS A GREAT APPETITE EATS ALL WE GIVE HIM. WE ARE SUPER CAREFUL WITH HIS DIET AND AVOID ANY FOODS DRUGS THAT MAY HARM HIM BUT MY WORRY IS WHAT HAPPENS IT HE GETS HOLD OF SOMETHING LIKE PEANUTS OR ANOTHER HARMFUL FOOD AND EATS IT. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AND HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO GET HIM HELP WE JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO OR DEAL WITH.
|
Hi, Your concern is absolutely right. There is list of food which should be avoided in G6PD deficiency. The good thing is even if he eats any avoided food item, reaction or response will be not be toxic, severe or dangerous. You will have enough time to take him to the hospital. But again precaution is better than cure. Education is the best way to avoid such things. Educate yourself as a parent and once your baby will be intelligent enough to understand you should start teaching. Make sure you notify this problem in his school forms too. Wishing your son a healthy life. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi I m Sheryll, 32 yrs old i was diagnosed bilateral polycystic ovary . I ve tried pills for 5 months to regulate my menstrual cycle but on the 8th month my cycle becomes abnormal. I tried pregnancy test but the result is negative & I was advised to undergo Transvaginal Ultrasound again but still i have PCOS. I also tried taking Metformin but still no effect. I am desperate now. Does a person diagnosed to have PCOS wont get pregnant? Pls help me & enlighten me... Thanks...
|
Hello Sheryl, Thank you for your query. People diagnosed with PCs will face difficulty in conceiving, but it is not impossible. You need to consult a proper infertility specialist. Diet and weight loss with regular exercise is the backbone of therapy for PCs. Moreover, just taking Metformin might not help you conceive. You might require the help of medications which help you ovulate. Also, you should not waste further time, but consult a Fertility specialist for adequate treatment. Since you are 32, do not waste more timetable care.

I had been on generic for serzone for years. Also take 1mg zanax 2x a day. I have suffered from anxiety. Mom got very ill, and I started to feel depression along with increased anxiety. My counselor prescribed first 10 mg of trintellix, then 20. 20mg makes me wacky. I am on the 10mg. feel like I want to punch someone everyday. cant relax etc. Mom passed Dec. 18th, 2016. still struggling with that, but..... feel almost like I am in a fog most times. I feel it is the trintellix. Even though I felt that the serzone was not effective anymore, at least I did not have this anger issue, and inability to feel happy about anything. I almost don t care. feel racy at times. I want to go back on serzone. counselor wants to me to wait, as I have new medical issues. one being hypothyroid, which she feels is causing my new symtoms. I am going to be 60 years old. can you help me out? Cindy
|
HI Cindy would recommend doing TFT and starting medications if needed.Also, slowly tapering vortioxetine and adding valproate with careful monitoring of your symptoms under supervision (as it seems you are having a switch to hypomanic episode)please give details of all your medical issues would recommend careful history taking by a psychiatrist family history of BAD is important hope you will be fine soon

Hello im 21 years old I had my first pap smear done 4 weeks ago I am also pregnant yesterday that I went for my second prenatal appointment thwy told me it came back as abnormal but my doctor didnt explain me why and im so curious to know whats going on should I worry or take any precautions ?
|
Hi there,PAP smear is done to assess the risk of cervical cancer in women. An abnormal PAP smear could mean a lot of things from mild infection, incomplete reporting to early stages of cancer. You need to ask the doctor to give you a detailed report. If it is infection or if the smear reads mild inflammation, or atypical cells of unknown significance, you could just ignore the result till after pregnancy, and you could repeat a PAP smear 3 months post delivery. But, if the report says IN changes then your cervix needs to be evaluated further. One way would be HPV-DNA test. But, generally 1 in 6 PAP smears in women under the age of 25 years turn up as abnormal and on follow are described normal. So please do not worry much for the same. One more thing, pregnancy itself can make getting a smear and reading of the smear to be altered. So I would advise you to discuss these issue with your gynecologist and if at all another smear I required in pregnancy do in the second trimester. Hope this helps. Regards.

I have been treated for MB kansasii in 2005. Can this MB cause infection in the waldeyer ring area---preciptates coughing to gack out smaller junks greyish yellow creamy mucus???? I have low t-cells ass/w AID plus sjogrens. Many painful infections in throat, lingual area, vallecula area also MRSA comes and goes Can I be harboring MN infection??
|
Hello. Did you undergo an ultrasound scan to know whether you completely miscarried or incomplete? If it was incomplete, did your gynecologist do the evacuation of the retained products surgically? According to your history I think initially you had uterine infection due to retained products. Pelvc infections are difficult to treat. When it is not treated well it becomes chronic. According to the symptoms I suspect whether the pelvic infection still persist. Some complains are normal occurrences associated with menstruation. But if you developed them secondary to pelvic infection it has to be investigated. So meet your gynecologist with your complaints.

I have several questions for you. Number 1 is I like to run dull knife blades acrossed my fingers and cut my skull with razors blades... now im not suicidal but is this normal? number 2 my modd constantly changes from good to bad ill be happy then be very angry in a flick of a switch what is wrong with me?
|
His had gone through your query.1. It is not normal it suggests para suicidal behavior or impulsivity.2. Mood swings can be part of depression or borderline personality disorder. Both of these require proper assessment and evaluations. Mental status examinations and thought processes can give better idea about illness. It is treatable if only after proper diagnosis. So consult psychiatrist and get help. I hope I have answered your query. Happy to help you. Thank you.

hi. after drinking about 2 glasses of cocktails.. vodka mix. and 3 glasses of red wine.. my skin turn red with burning feel on my legs near my groins and on my breasts.. the red and burning feel lasts till the next day.. please explain this kind of reaction? thanks
|
Hi, This reaction is known as alcohol flush reaction. When we consume alcohol, it gets metabolized in body by liver enzymes into acetaldehyde and then into acetate. Some people(commonly Chinese, japanese)have inability to convert this excess acetaldehyde into acetate leading to accumulation of this acetaldehyde into blood causing blood vessels to dilate more. And because of this, our skin turns red and slightly burning to touch till this substance clears from the blood by kidney. Best treatment is to curtail this alcohol consumption. So, this is the brief explanation. Thanks

|
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You are in a sin feeling of the masturbation. Many people in the beginning of masturbation may feel that they are facing many problems, like lack of concentration, weakness etc. One need not masturbate, if at all someone is doing it is not a sin. One should not do it several times a day. Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have a good health. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.

Hi, I am Elina. I am 9 weeks pregnant. 2 days ago, i was in bed lying position. When i tried to stand suddenly i feel pain in tail bone area. Its been 3 days i cant sit and lie down properly. I feel sharp shooting pain in that area if its been pressured. Can u please tell me how can i recover from this?
|
Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. The pain that you are getting can be due laxity or hurting of coccyx, the tail bone. This can be due to increased laxity of ligaments and joints as a result of hormonal changes during pregnancy. I want to assure you that it will be fine in few days. Please take rest. Use of cold fomentation with ice pack will help. Tablet Paracetamol 500 or 659 mg can be taken for piano relief as needed. Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in the diet. Avoid refined sugars and deep-fried foods and bakery products. Things will be fine in the due course of time. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

Im 17 days late. Had a few days of spotting, bloating and nausea 1 week before my period was due and a few days after. No nausea now. Am still bloated. Have constant mild pain on lower right abdominal. Have had very sharp pains aswell. Could I be pregnant?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Yes you can be pregnant, BUT with your history of pain in the right lower abdomen, I would request you to undergo urgent urine pregnancy test and ultrasonography of the abdomen to see if you are pregnant and to RULE OUT tubal (extra-uterine) pregnancy. As well to go for the routine blood tests for hemoglobin, blood group and others. This is because the tubal pregnancy can be an emergency.

Hi,I have a history of endometriosis & recently have been diagnosed with PCOD. I have been put on metformin. Had my D11 follicular study scan today which shows 21mm follicle in left ovary with an endometrial thickness of 11mm. What are my chances. We have been TTC for a year now.
|
Hi, there is a good chance of pregnancy if ovulation happens. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. You can confirm the ovulation by kits or by ultrasound after 2 to 3 days. Else you can take injection for rupturing the follicle today which can make sure you ovulate. Talk to your doctor. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

I am on reclipsen, I have been taking it for about two years now. I had breakthrough bleeding occasionally, when I first started but not since then. Recently (I do apologize, for oversharing but then again, Im sure youve heard everything) I had unprotected sex with someone, while I was having the very end of my period. I usually last around days with decent flow, then two brownish old blood days. this was on the sixth day, my first brownish day. I trust this person, am not concerned about stds at all, but he was, well, a bit rough. Hes quite well endowed... I began bleeding again, bright red, but a tampon lasted all day. This happened on sunday the 21st, I am still bleeding. Not heavily, but the fact that it is at all, worries me. Typically when I have my regular period I change my tampon every two hours or so. I had missed a couple pills on my card as well, on the third week of the last pack, when I called to ask what to do, the nurse said take my missed pills (there were only two I missed,) and start a new pack, to not take the last row (the fakes) So, should I be concerned? Thank you for your time!!! -Ashley
|
Hello, You may not have to be worried about pregnancy, as you had sex during the menstrual period. During this period the chances of conception are quite low. The bleeding which is still continued after about 24-25 days is not normal. You should have undergone pelvic exam and may be other investigations like Ultrasonography. Keep taking your medicines and get checkup as soon as possible. Thanks being frank. Good luck. Take care

Hi I fell really bad when I was intoxicated and got a really big bruise on my head. The bruise stopped hurting pretty quickly like any other bruise but the area where the bruise was turned smushy as if it were like a blister or if there was liquid inside. After a while that stopped and now its just a hard lump. I dont know if its serious or not. I was in the hospital because I fell when I was intoxicated and had to get stitches in my mouth but I dont know if they ever checked teh bruise on my head.
|
Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Treatment for Your hard lump in head-a-In my opinion it's an organizing hematoma as It's hard now and is -post-traumatic hematoma due to skull bone hit.b-AS you are in the hospital and worried -you can request your doctor to get the Skull -X-ray done to detect any fracture which you fear.c-The treatment for the mouth injury would take help of the organizing hematoma.d-Its only if you have any ENT bleed or dizziness or vomiting or nausea-for which you can ask for Surgeons opinion -from your hospital doctor. Hope this would help your worry to take proper steps for health. Wishing you fast recovery. Wellcome again if you have any more query in this regard. Have a Good Day.

Hello... I was using birth control pills for a year and 4 months. The last one I used, was Minastrin. I recently changed jobs therefore I had no insurance to go to the ObGyn. My last active pill from the pack was the one I took on 09/06. I had unprotected sex yesterday on 9/14. Today I ve been feeling like I m ovulating... I m worried... is there any chance I may end up pregnant?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concerns.9/14, the day you had sex falls within your fertile period. So there is a possibility of pregnancy. There is a 1 in 4 chance that you may get pregnant. So if you wish to avoid pregnancy, take Pill (emergency contraception). The earlier after unprotected sex you take the pill, more effective it is. So take this pill at the earliest. Even after taking this pill there is a slim possibility of pregnancy due to method failure. Therefore, get a pregnancy test done if you miss your period. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, contact me through Chat Doctor. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Hi there, i have rashes in my armpit, at the back of may knee, groin and arms... they are too itchy, and red. I was trying to apply some creams that contain Betamethasone+Tolnaftate+Gentamycin+Clioquinol.. 2x a day. Though it subsides and heals -- for awhile. But symptoms are persistent, once i stop the creams. I am taking Cetirizine tab as well and sometimes i combined it with Dexamethasone tab, just to ease the rashes... what is this skin infection that i have now?? Could you please enlighten me...
|
Hi, The rash could be a Tina infection (fungal infection). The combination cream which you are applying, masks your skin condition. This makes the diagnosis of your skin condition difficult. So, I request you to stop all the over the counter creams. Please stop self-medication and visit your Dermatologist for further management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Helo sir/maam, i am 26 yrs old girl dignosed as glandular TB, having guilties neck (near collar bone) have taken regular medicne for 9 months namely Rumex & Combutol , my 9 month medicine is already completed in June2011, still m feeling weakness, hunger everytime...Doctor pls suggest me.. i m very much worried for this..i heard that this disease is incurable and can attack back anytime...pls suggest me
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry much for this. You had tubercular cervical lymphadenopathy. This is 100% curable with 8-9 months of regular anti-tubercular treatment. So no need to worry because your have completed 9 months of treatment. And yes, tuberculosis can cause relapse. But it is not true for every one. If you maintain good immunity, chances of recurrence are very, very less. So take high protein diet like pulses, vegetables and fruits. Take multivitamin tablet containing folic acid, vitamin B 12, riboflavin and zinc daily. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. With maintenance of good immunity, TB will not recur again. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My 12 year old daughter has a 1cm white bump on her gum. Tender to touch. She squeezed it and a yellowish puss came out. It does not hurt now. She has one at a time but has had several over the past few weeks. My son who is 9 has started getting them. They both had strep recently which I am not sure if it has anything to do with it.
|
Hi, Thanks for asking query, The bump on her gum may be due to gingival abscess, which mainly occur due to improper oral hygiene and food lodgment. I suggest you to go to the doctor and get the scaling done, maintain good oral hygiene, brush twice daily, use the antiseptic mouthwash twice daily. Your son also seems to have similar problem, use same treatment advice for him and keep the check on there eating habits also.

Hi, I have been suffering from random symptoms, my doctor said it was narcolepsy , but they say its genetic , no one on my family has ever had that disorder. and there are other symptoms my symptoms are

Hi there, Thanks for your query. Firstly, coughing out blood should be investigated at the earliest
|
my kid is 3 years old. he is seroflo inhaler for close to 1.5 months and asthalin inhaler is given as and when required. this time we gave him for about 5-6 days as per doctors advise. thereafter doc suggested sal mucolite. that too we have him close to 5 days. cough still persits. am very worried as my son is perpetually on medicine for something or the other. kindly advise.
|
Hello, You are following correct medication plan. Seroflo inhalation will reduce inflammation of air passages. Stalin will help to keep the lung open. Mucolite also do the same. Sometimes cough may present for a few days though the inflammation is over. This is due to irritation of air passages in the past. You can wait for a few days. Otherwise, you can give Cetirizine spy in the night after consulting with your family pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that it is necessary to investigate for the possible causes underlying your troubles. That is why I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests

Hello.. I have had sex with my boyfriend atleast more thn 5 times.. He ejaculated outside all the times. Once we had sex two times first he ejacilated early thn we had it again without protection but again he ejaculated outside. Will the liquid whicChatDoctores out before ejaculation make me pregnant?Secondly, he ejaculated near my vagina but was outside.. Can I get pregnant? Im really worried. Today is my periods date and I have not got them yet. Please help me.
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am sorry to hear of your delayed periods following this unprotected intercourse. It is always a troubling feeling when a lady has delayed periods and more so when she does not want to be pregnant. All unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy. The best thing to do at this time is to do a rapid home pregnancy test to find out whether you are pregnant or not. If you are not, then I suggest you patiently wait for them to show p. If you are however pregnant, then you may want to meet and discuss with your doctor about it. Please, ejaculating out of the vaginal is a very poor method of birth control. Also, the liquid whicChatDoctores before it contains some sperms, though very small can still be responsible for a pregnancy. This is why it is a poor method. I will suggest that you consider meeting and discussing the various contraception options for you with your doctor and probably adopting one. Also, remember that unprotected sex also exposes you to STDs! I hope you find this helpful. Please, feel free to ask us more question if they do come up. Thank you so much for using our services and hope you do when the need next arises. I wish you good health.

The left Kidney demonstrates mild to moderate pelvicalyceal dilatation. The proximal left ureter is also slightly dilated. left renal length = 11.2cm.impression
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The collecting system of the kidney is made of renal calyxes and pelvis. This collects the urine formed in kidney and transports it through the ureter (tubes connecting kidneys and urinary bladder) to the urinary bladder. The pelvicalyceal system is the mouth of the kidney where it connects with the upper end of the ureter. I guess that you have got ultrasound scan done, and it shows mild fullness of the pelvicalyceal system in the left kidney, that is a term applied to increase in diameter of the collecting system in your left kidney. It is not a critical situation, and please do not worry if you do not have any urinary symptoms. Since it is mentioned as mild fullness and no kidney stones have been found, therefore(i) It can be that your bladder was completely full at the of ultrasound scan(ii) Your kidney pelvicalyceal system is appearing full by itself (extrarenal pelvis) and is an extension of normal appearance.(iii) Rarely an infection of urinary system and kidneys (recent or old) can cause such a finding, but this is likely only if you have symptoms like pain in the region of kidney and problems like burning urination or discoloration of urine or any kidney infections in the past.(iv) Stones in kidney or ureter can also cause fullness of pelvicalyceal system and since you do not have any stone therefore this does not apply to you. It is important to know if your scan was repeated after passing urine and still there was persistent mild fullness of the pelvicalyceal system on left side. This can also be confirmed by doing an MVP which is injecting a contrast and taking 5 to 6 X-rays to study the functioning of the kidneys in a better way. Please consult the urologist.

Hi, I ate dinner and right after my legs started itching. Then my whole body started as well, it is beyond unbearable. I already took a cool shower and it just made it worse. I did not eat anything un-usual at dinner and I dont have any signs of itching. My body itches so badly that it is painful. What could be happening?
|
For itching all over the body you have to use Alabama or calamine lotion after an expert opinion of dermatologist with tab evil or tab cetirizine after meals to reduce the severity of your itching with tab rant ac or tab carotid empty stomach. If pain and inflammation is also disturbing you than you can take tab Coquitlam or tab broken after meals every 8-12 hours. Take bath with warm water as it will also help you to get relief from whole body itching.

Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that If the patient is non-reactive than you do not have to worry regarding your status. If the patient is in the window period than it is probable that HIV may not be detected. In that case I think you can check the status of the patient with P24 antigen for HIV. Rest two investigation hepatitis B, Hepatitis C is once negative is always negative. But even the quality of kit which you are testing also is an important thing. If it is of low quality false negative result may appear. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor

Its common side effects that might occur with the overdose include vomiting, stomach upset, bloating, headache, hot flashes, and breast discomfort. Inform your doctor if these side effects become troublesome. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Ive had a lump for right on top of the butt crack for a while already and its internal . When you look you cant see anything no red no swelling nothing comes out but i can feel it. Or when i press on it a little it hurts just a little or when i sit down ir when trying to do a sit up. My sister had surgery for a pilonidal cyst but mine does bot look like gers hers was external and was visible. Mine went away for a while and i didnt really feel it or pain either and now i feel it again what can this be?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. From your description colonial cyst is what seems most possible. Lump in this location in most cases is caused by such cyst. It appears due to ingrown hair which irritates the tissues. Such cyst can from time ti time get infected and turn into an abscess. Some persons can have only tiny dots visible in the butt crack. Others will have swollen lump. I suggest you to show it to a general surgeon. Hope this will help. Regards.

I have a small-ish red area on my scrotum that appears to have been worn down. It stings quite a bit when something touches it and sometimes oozes very small amounts of clear liquid. Is it something that I should be worried about or will the skin just heal itself over time?
|
Hello really appreciate your concernLooking at your description this could be suggestive of STI, other infection or an allergic reaction would like further information to help you bettering how long you have this problem exposure to unprotected sex? Your age and Relevant medical history like diabetes blood pressure or any other metabolic disorderHave you have seen any doctor, if yes than upload me the medical documents and lab investigationsPlease write back to me with these details so that I will be able to advise you more precisely In my opinion you should keep it clean and apply antiseptic ointment If it gets worsen or doesn't improve than you should consult your doctor for physical check up and detailed evaluationMaintain good hygiene use condoms during sex until it heals completely Hope this answers your question if you have any more doubts please feel free to write back to me, I will be happy to help you Best wishes

Hi, I am male, I feel something wrong with my body as I felt something inside after doing masturbation, I am not sure whats link to my body inside left place like kidney or which thing inside, same time after masturbation, I am unsure of it, I still feels pain inside, also when I walk, like something destroyed inside or something.
|
Hello, Masturbation is safe and never unhealthy. Masturbation cannot be related to any of your other organs than organs in your groin area. The unwell feeling could be because when you masturbated, somewhere some muscle might have pulled. Therefore, I suggest consulting a physician for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...hi im 29weeeks pregnant, an im carrying really low, when he kick or moves i feel it more down below in my vagina.is this normal as 8yrs ago when i had my son i never experienced this
|
HI, I understand your concern. At 29 weeks of pregnancy fetal movements are nicely felt. In 2nd delivery, the maternal body is already loose due to previous delivery. So baby can sag down in pelvis & when it moves you get the feeling. Another thing the pubic symphysis gets separated due to loosening of ligaments between them. This also facilitates the downward decent of baby . Feeling it right down in pelvis later weeks of pregnancy. * but this is no way suggests labor. Excessive vaginal discharge, loosing mucus plug, getting labor pains form the signs of labor. Thanks.

Could results of the recent (3rd November) allergy blood test indicate that my daughter`s immunity still fighting Aspergillius Fumigatus. Recent (3rd November) allergy blood test of my daughter did show Eosinophils 18% While IgE Immunoglobin IgeE 1190kU/L Blood test on 21 of May 2010 Total IgE 7270ug/L Aspergillius fumigatus was HIGH POSITIVEIn May 2010, when the first allergy blood test of my daughter indicated High positive Aspergillus Fumigatus my daughter`s diagnosis was
|
Hi, See this thing shouldn't be confusing. If your daughter had a very high level of IGE in blood with high eosinophils then only sputum culture or blood culture will make diagnosis clear like aspergillus fumigators. If she had been done blood allergic testing for aspergillus was positive then one thing is clear that she is having allergic bronchpulmonary aspergilli. Now bronchoscopy is an invasive procedure and carries more risk during operation and there are other safer investigations should be tried first like chest X-ray or CT thorax. Bronchoscopy can be done as a last option and mainly to rule out any obstructive disease or bronchiectasis or any tumor or foreign body. I think this all will make u clear to understand.

I (29 yrs old, female) initially had pain occasionally in my left foot, which followed only after a lot of walking or carrying the kid for long. When I consulted the doctor, he said that I have a kind of flat foot. He adviced me to have Tendocare- once daily for 3 weeks. After I had the medicine for 5 days, the pain increased so much so that I am barely being able to walk properly now. Curving my left foot s thumb towards the body, makes me feel a sensation that is close to a pricking nail (at the point the foot has an arch). The pain is continous (even when I am not walking) , getting unbearable & disturbing. Please suggest urgently.
|
In flat foot the inside arch of foot is lost. This causes bearing of more load and stress on muscles and bones of inside the foot then their usual capacity. It causes pain on standing & walking. In advance stages due to swelling of muscles and soft tissue, pain may occur while resting.anti-inflammatory analgesic such as ibuprofen, icing and wearing of medial shoe raise (commercially easily available) inside the shoes while walking will give relief in pain and other symptoms. She raises will make artificial curve of foot and distribute the load accordingly. 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. Wishing you good health.

my baby is 8 & 1/2 months old & she is suffering from cough & cold. Since yesterday night she had taken milk & 1/2 hr before that she had taken 3 glucouse biscutes mixed with milk, but after that she did not take milk till now. Is that ok or is there a problem ?
|
Hello, I just read your query. As your baby has been suffering with flu and in flu babies usually has loss of appetite and sometimes bad taste too. So give your child liquid and semi-solid food and encourage your baby to have that. * If she is not willing to take milk then give her other choices like juice, soups etc. * Flu may take 5 to 7 days for complete recovery. Till then be patient and keep on giving different things.* I hope you find my answer helpful. Thank you.

Can penicillin cause inflamed gums and sores? 24 hours after starting treatment with Penicillin for strep throat, I started with inflamed gums that bleed with brushing and small sores throughout my mouth. Wondering if its caused by the penicillin or the infection. Throat is improving, mouth is worsening.
|
Hello. I read through your query and I must say that as such the penicillin doesn't have side effect on the gums, but it can cause change in taste of the mouth ulceration in some cads, but these are all seen in long application of penicillin. For some people there can be allergy to penicillin which can result in some sort of probs like this, but it can result in skin rashes etc. so I think it won't be due to allergy. I suggest you to Chat Doctor. Be cool and stay happy.That's the best medicine for any disease. Hope your benefitted something from this reply. Have a healthy day!!!

Hi. I am under dental treatment for two front teeth. I had one root filling and the second one should have been the same but root is fractured. Doctor said extraction is needed. Meantime my upper lip is swollen, double the ize. Is it because allergic reaction to anestezic or is normal beeing under treatment? I started antibiotics 1 day before, but no reduction of lip as of now. How long before I see change? Thank you.
|
Hi With respect to the query, swollen lip could be if two reasons firstly, you might be allergic to latex gloves or secondly, sometimes when the dentist try to retract the cheeks with mouth mirror or any other instruments' fir longer periods there are chances for the lymph and vascularity obstruction leading to swelling, and finally you might be allergic to anesthesia which is usually rare. Whatever wait and watch for 2-3 days if no symptoms are present otherwise please consult the sane dentist to rule out the cause. Hope I have clarified yourqquestion.best

My husband is having severe pain in his back - both lower back as well as specifically up on the right side between his angel bone and spine. His legs are also very painful and tingling. He is a relatively recent kidney transplant patient but has been doing very well in terms of his kidney function numbers and post-transplant biopsies. He exercised (elliptical) Monday night and that seemed to aggravate the symptoms. The pain has been very severe today, He can t sleep, has tried some pain and sleep medications to no avail...
|
Hi there. It seems like your husband has aggravated an underlying disc problem which he might have been having for some time. Sudden exercises can aggravate such problems if somebody is not used to it. For a patient having an acute pain I would initially recommend a period of bed rest for 3-4 days until the pain subsides. He can sleep with his hips and knees flexed that will reduce a bit of pressure on the nerve roots that are getting compressed. He can take Diclofenac 100 mg to add to the initial pain relief and apply some topical analgesic ointments or sprays. During the period he can walk to the bathroom and walk around as tolerated. He would need to avoid sitting for a long time if possible. Then once the pain subsides he can get back to his normal day-to-day activities. Then he should build up his back muscle strength by doing extension exercises. And if he is on the heavier side he should do a bit of dieting and exercises that for losing weight that will help him in the long run. Any exercise regime should be started with gradual increments in the repeats. Ellipse is a demanding machine and one needs to increase their training gradually. Thank you.

Symptoms of abscess are pain, inflammation, redness, watery discharge as well pus discharge when infected. The treatment will be decided based on the site where it is? And treatment will be use of antibiotics, Chat Doctor. Also, you have to send the abscess discharge and tissue for lab study to rule out the growth of cancerous cells. And which antibiotic will be more useful to deal with it, based on the infection.

Hello NarayanThank you for getting in touch with us. From what I make out, your sister was diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder sometime back. It would have been better if you had mentioned the diagnosis as we would have been able to provide more information. Then also, we would like to inform you that for many psychiatric disorders, treatment carries on for a long time. The medicines available in the market these days are really effective, but they have to be taken on a regular basis. Missing your doses in few psychiatric disorders can lead to complications. For most psychiatric patients, family support also is very crucial as these patients are not stable and need someone around them all the time. Please get back to us with the diagnosis, and we will provide further details. Hope this helped.

sir i have been diagnosed with grade 2 fatty liver and dyslipidimea,iam 27 yrs of age,my lipids were also also raised,but now after taking medicines and strict diet they are under control in 1 and a half months of time and i have reduce 8 kgs..any guidelines for me??how much time it will take for a fatty liver to be normal
|
Hellowelcome to ChatDoctorfrom the details u have given, u were having a clinical condition called as NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER. It is most commonly seen in obese persons. Fatty liver is asymptomatic and doesn't create any problem for you, instead it is a warning signal for u .to take acre of your body ok.now u already had realized and started doing work-outs.which is a good thing.ok fatty liver gradually subsides, when you start shedding your weight and end up with mild grade only, sometimes, it may remain like that without causing any symptoms. So don't worry much about fatty liver now,first take care of your weight and check your cholesterol levels .try to keep them low. Hope this will help u .bye

I have a small bump on the shaft of my penis, on the foreskin. It doesnt hurt to the touch, doesnt burn when I pee, none of the usual STD symptoms. It kind of looks like a pimple. I got it about a week ago. I had masturbated about 4 or 5 times that day and was sweaty, so I think its just from the sweat and friction. A little help?
|
HelloThanks for query, A bump on foreskin after heavy masturbation that you have developed a week ago is mostly a Staphylococcal infection of hair follicle or sweat gland. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Doxycycline along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. Ensure to avoid sexual encounters or masturbation till it heals up completely. Thanks

Hi Im 33 and after eating certain foods by tongue has a burning sensation, turns red and feels slightly swollen. This has happened with things like pineapple, kiwi fruit, lemon juice on salad, hummus etc Would this be an allergy? It settles after taking an antihistamine, but takes several days for my tongue to look normal again
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for writing. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your question completely, I understand your concern and will try to help you in the best way possible. I am sorry to know about what has been happening to you lately. According to the history you have given me and description of symptoms how they start, how they continue and how they cured I am of the opinion that you indeed seem to be having and allergic or inflammatory reaction to certain foods. Like other parts of the body tongue too can be irritated by certain chemicals contacting it which in case of tongue are foods. There are certain irritants in foods which can cause inflammation on tongue. The foods which you have mentioned in your list are foods which mostly have a preservative and have some ingredient among them which is canned.Foods can have certain irritants and preservatives which can cause such symptoms, you can avoid this problem by simple changes and care. Here I would suggest you certain measures which you can take to avoid this problem in the future.1) Avoid preserved and canned foods.2) Make a list of foods which irritate your tongue and avoid using them.3) take an anti histamine like Cetirizine 10\u00a0mg at night daily when you are having inflammation. 4)Broken or Tylenol can also help in relieving pain and inflammation.5) NSAID gargle solutions and Some can help too in relieving pain and inflammation. This problem can be easily controlled and cured but will need active care and attention. I hope this answered your question. If you have more queries I am happy to answer.Otherwise, rate and close the discussionRegrads.

My daughter has been having headaches for a solid month along with nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, loss of appetite. We have ruled out the following thru different testing, vision changes, strep, limes disease, mono, cat scan came back fine and blood work looked normal. What should I do I am so stumped.
|
Hi, She has all the salient features for suffering migraine headaches. The only question (which seems to have answered at this point) is whether the headaches are being caused by something or if they may simply be primary (i.e. not due to anything specific other than her predilection for such headaches). If the CT scan is negative for intracranial mass lesions I would order an MRI of the brain and look for any obstruction to the flow of CSF such as would be seen in a Chiara malformation which is more common in the population than is diagnosed. There could be other things in the neck triggering migraine-like headaches that CT scan may not pick up such as nerve roots being pinched or even the spinal cord itself being impinged upon so that an MRI of the cervical spine may also be worthwhile looking at if she complains at all the neck, shoulder, or arm pains that travel. If all workup is unrevealing then, I would simply treat her with antimigraine medications and try and break these before they become chronic. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Im 22 years and married for an year. We have planned to have a baby for past 4 months and suddenly my periods are irrugular. When I took a blood test, my TSH level was 4.5. But my doctor gave me femilon to regularise it. Is it safe to start the dose?
|
Hello, If your TSH levels are on the higher side, it is also ideal to go for the estimation of free T3 and free T4 levels. You may need to start low doses of hormone thyroxine as subclinical hypothyroidism may manifest in this way. Felon can be used once other hormone imbalances are corrected to keep the cycles back on track. This medication inhibits ovulation and hence, after a few cycles of pill usage, you may stop once periods get regular and wait for a couple of cycles for ovulation to resume. Meanwhile, maintain a healthy weight, balanced diet and regular exercise. Hope this helps.

I am having really sharp pain in my lower abdomen on both side. I used to have ovarian cysts when I was younger but was put on birth control. I have been off of birth control for almost a year now? The pain is so sharp that it is even making me sweat. What could it be?

HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that the pain is related to the ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts can cause pain as a result of different possible causes

My 4 year old was diagnosed with herpangina 5 days ago. We caught it just as the red dots were on her palate. Today she is really raspy. She has been fever free for 3 days and the ulcers are healing. Is this just a side effect of the virus, or could there be damage?
|
Hi. You need not worry. Deranging is a self limiting viral illness. It is caused by Cossack virus. As the ulcers are already healing - you need not worry. It is just the natural course of the disease Deranging and there will not be any damage. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time.

I recently have been having severe pain in my lower back radiating down both legs, i am 63 years old and had rods and pins implanted in the sacral area in the 80s. About a month ago I fell while bending over. Now the pain is almost unbearable, sitting, walking, standing, laying down, no matter what the position. Is it possible that the rods may have been jarred out of position
|
Hi I am Chat Doctor. . I hope you feel better soon and the metal rods and plates are fixated properly to stabilize the spine from any minor manipulations till healing takes place. For now YOY may avoid heavy lifting, vigorous movements and bad sleeping or sitting postures , spinal exercises and physiotherapy with a chiropractor are very effective. You may use painkillers like Advil tab when needed, muscle relaxants, B12 vitamin supplementation and hot massages with topical gel will be helpful for most of the cases. Rarely such injuries may cause rods to move, but it could happen, so I recommend X-rays and MRI to rule any minor fissures or spinal herniation and follow up with your physician for proper evaluation and management. Please click and consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

My son is having intense coughing now with nose bleeds. The coughing is getting worse. It lasts for about 1-2 min. and only a few minutes in between spells. He is having a difficult time with coughing and breathing. Should I take him to and ER or wait to get in with his primary doctor?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sons situation and problem. In my opinion, you should immediately take him to hospital and start treatment. Nose bleeding, coughing and breathlessness suggest possibility of bronchitis more. But chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. Detailed examination of nasal cavity is also needed to rule out internal cause for bleeding. He may need antibiotics, antihistamines and inhaled bronchodilators with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to consult doctor, first diagnose himself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have an allergy to sulfa drugs and have found out (after having a rash for 5 months) that Im also allergic to my Lasix. My doctor tells me that there are no truly sulfa-free diuretics, but I simply cannot believe (accept) that. Please tell me that there is a truly sulfa-free diuretic I can take. I have gained 13lbs. of fluid since stopping the Lasix and Im miserable!!
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. If you have Sufi allergy, a diuretic that does not contain a sulfonamides group can be used safely. In addition to ethacrynic acid (Election), sulfa free diuretics include 1. Amiloride2. Triamterene3. Spironolactone,4. Everyone. Please do not use the following sulfa containing diuretics if you have sulfa allergy like carbonic any Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Please reply for further queries. Wishing you good health.

I have cervical damage, therapy hasn t worked, Injections have not worked, and surgery if I do it , I am told they will have to go in through the front and back of my neck. this would be for 3 discs . I guess I am looking for aN OPINION WHEATHER I should do the surgery. Pain is daily.
|
Hi, It seems you are suffering from cervical disc prolapse with spinal cord compression. If you have shared your MRI report I could give better opinion. First line treatment is physiotherapy and medications and if not relieved cervical epidural injection is next treatment. Even then if you are not relieved surgery is needed. If compression on spinal cord is from both anterior and posterior sides dual approach may be needed. With recent advances in surgical techniques and anesthesia cervical spine surgery has become less risky and better outcomes can be expected. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My sister, who I live with, has been diagnosed with a paratyroid tumor. Do you know any surgeons for this in the Phx, East valley area..We live in Gilbert, az. Her Endocrinologist has told her she needs to have the sergery, but the dr. he refered her to cant see her till next month. Honestly, she can not wait that long. She is so, so sick.. She has Cigna health care. Thank you so much for any help Lita King
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about what your sister is going through right now. I understand your pains and the urgency to get this problem ad Chat Doctor. Is it all about the surgery or something else is going on? This surgery is not often an emergency and the fact that you sound like her condition is bad because of this tumor makes me wonder if there are any other background problems that have not been checked appropriately. I hope she as be evaluated fully not to attribute every other abnormal symptom to the tumor. However, doctors have not just one person they can refer a client to. Let her doctor know the other one isn't available until next month, and you are not ready to wait so that he can offer you another option. I hope this helps and I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask more questions if need be.

i have foot pain that started as gout but now my doctor says it is arithritis. this started in may this year. the pain travels around both my feet; sometimes on one foot sometimes on both and when it is the ankles, normally both ankles hurt. the pain is also inconsistent.
|
HelloFresh pain may be due to many reasons like gout, arthritis, calcaneal spur etc. You may need clinical correlation and X-ray of both calcaneus in lateral view. X-ray of both feet (AP view)should also be taken. You may need clinical correlation and investigations. You may need routine hologram, random blood sugar, serum uric acid, RA factor, HsCRP etc. Treatment depend upon underlying cause. Calcaneal spur treated by analgesics, soft sleeper, alternate cold and hot water treatment. If arthritis is confirmed the may need specific medicines for arthritis. If gouty arthritis is confirmed then you may need uricosuric medicines. Take Care, Chat Doctor.

Investigate your case with ....1.USG abdomen 2.Bag detection (if suspected through history and not vaccinated)3.HCV antibody detection if suspected ...USG help in rule out gall stone, fatty liver like condition if present ... If one of this two disorder present than take low fat diet, more fruits, exercise for that ... Udiliv tablet useful for that . Avoid alcohol if you have habit, that can affect liver ... Take care.

im 14 and i havent been able to take deep breaths or breath right for a while now. I have no alergies. When i do breath i feel like my lungs are constricted, my dad is a smoker and when i go to his house i kinda feel it getting worse but when i come back from being there i feel like i can breath a little better. I blamed it on the winter weather but now its getting into spring and still cant breath! I have to work and try alot to take that big deep breath we always take sometimes, i also cough alot and im not sick. Though i did have strep a month back. Whats wrong with me, im very worried about what might be wrong because my parents med insurence is fighting about who should take care of my older sister and me and when i brought up i could breath right to my mom she didnt say anything. I finally asked my great aunt to take me to the doctor but i dont know when she will or if she will.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are exposed to secondary hand smoke via your father. So we should first rule out asthma and bronchitis in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose disease, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My sons front tooth was broken in two a couple years ago and glued back together right away. The repair just failed and Im wondering how to store the piece until we can see a dentist tomorrow. I remember something about milk, wondering if it has to be whole milk and if I then put in refrigerator?
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. The tooth can be saved only in case if the tootChatDoctores out as a whole like with the root and crown portion all intact in a single piece. But as your tooth is broken and is not in one piece therefore, it has to be replaced with artificial tooth or dental filling as the broken piece is of no use and gluing it back will not help in any way. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated along with x-ray of tooth. If the nerves are not exposed then simply filling or capping can be done. If the nerves are exposed then root canal treatment followed by capping can help. Hope this helps. Regards.

my father has stage 4 esophagus cancer he has had a year of chemo and today they stented the tumor area and took another biopsy. The tumor is protruding into the upper most part of the stomach stightly, but everything else looks good the dr said. I am just wanting to know what the chances of his survival with this cancer now protruding in the stomach area? what other steps other then the chemo should be done. They have done a wonderful job so far but cancer is just one of those things to me that Is treatable but is it curable?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. Stage 4 is practically not curable, even stage 3 isn't. Esophageal cancer is very serious disease with poor prognosis, but you should fight and give your best to make all this easier for your father. If this isn't operable and obviously isn't if there is involvement of surrounding tissue and organs then chemo is the only possible treatment-Everything else is palliative. He may have resection of stomach and ileostomy formation when obstruction develop and that's everything that surgery can do. Wish you good health. Regards.

If im on birth control and had unprotected sex the day before thanksgiving, and my period came in December and this month, could I still be pregnant? Or am I worrying for nothing? I dont think he came in me. He said he didnt. He said I have nothing to worry about but Im still always worried after having sex. I dont wanna have kids any time soon.
|
Hello and I hope I can help you today. Birth control pills are greater than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when taken correctly. If you took your pill every day and did not miss more than two pills in your pack even with sexual penetration and intercourse you are extremely unlikely to have conceived. In addition, you had to normal. The following two months which effectively rules out pregnancy. The first sign of pregnancy in the majority of women is a missed menstrual cycle. So when your case, you really do not have to worry about pregnancy. The majority of women use the pill alone is the primary method of contraception, without condoms or a backup method. I hope I was able to answer your question today, and that my advice was reassuring. Best wishes,

My query is related to large fast growing throat tumor that protrudes from behind the left ear of male patient(62) with stage 1V oropharyngeal cancer . The head of the tumor is extremely red and inflamed looking like a ripe tomato . What is the danger of it rupturing? The patient is too advanced for chemo/radiation/surgical treatments and is home self-treating with multiple homeopatChatDoctoreds and prescription pain meds.( Fentanyl & morphine Lyrica-paracetamol) etc. What should he do if it ruptures? He is not close to any hospital or Oncologist etc.
|
Hi, exact location of tumor to be mentioned. If it is in close vicinity of any major vessels then rupture may cause serious problem. Before examining him it is difficult to comment whether any definitive treatment can be offered or not. You should, at least for a single occasion visit any oncology center. You have to be trained to manage any emergency situation that can arise. Anyway definitive treatment may be chemo radiotherapy. Take care.

My 88 year old grandmother has always had high blood pressure, and she is on 2 medications for it. This afternoon while she was at the dentist, the assistant took Nanas blood pressure and mentioned that it was low -- 111/44. What could cause this? Its NEVER been this low. She thinks its just stress, as my father (her son) died a couple of weeks ago.
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that these blood pressure values are not too low. The low diastolic pressure could be related to her age. Her antihypertensive therapy plays an important role in this blood pressure value too. But, as long as she has no symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, or blurring vision, there is nothing to worry about! If she experiences such symptoms and her blood pressure values are low all the time, I would recommend making some changes to her actual antihypertensive therapy. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,

Two days after spraining his left ankle , my husbands left knee swelled up causing severe pain. Ice packs are the only thing relieving pain to the point of being tolerable. Swelling has gone down slightly in last four hours. A are these issues related or not and how should this be treated?
|
What you describe is a condition called Arthrosis. When the knee swell quickly, it means some trauma has occurred within the joint. It could be a Meniscal Tear or an ACL/PCL Ligament injury. The most appropriate thing to do would be to visit an Orthopedic surgeon nearby and let him Chat Doctor. Later when the swelling subsides, an MRI scan should be done to rule out any injury to the Menisci of the knee, or the Internal Ligaments as mentioned above. Ice pack will help initially. But the fluid has to be

My ultrasound findings are diffuse heterogeneous liver parenchymal echotexture, suggestive of underlying liver parenchymal disease. I am 64 years old with hypothyroid dis., high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. Is this serious or related to my thyroid function? thanks,
|
HelloYour findings suggests diffuse heterogeneous liver parenchymal echo texture, and it may be due to many reasons like cirrhosis, hepatitis etc. Normal liver is homogeneous in echo texture. You need proper clinical examination and further investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, complete liver function test, lipid profile, urine RE/ME, renal function test, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. CT scan of abdomen and cartography of liver can be done if needed. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Most likely altered liver echo texture is not related to thyroid disorder. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hi welcome to him understand your query and concern. Your husbands symptoms are suggestive of Ischemia of brain along with Myocardial infarction. I advise him to get an ECG 2D Echo, lipid profile, he CRP, Troponin I, CT Brain immediately. I also advise you to stress echo done and chest x-ray immediately once stabilized. Also monitor his blood pressure and heart rate, oxygen saturation. Chat Doctor.

gMy Dr put in my nexplanon 8 days after my period and i had unprotected sex 8 days after i had it put in my husband and i made sure he pulled out to lessen our chances but Im still nervous about getting pregnant. Did i allow enough time for the hormones to kick in my body to prevent pregnacy?
|
Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment option.First do not panic. Implants like Explain, if fitted in first 5 days of the menstrual cycle, it starts working within first 7 days. In a woman with regular cycles it is anyway safe period till day 10 of the cycle. So you can have unprotected sex in this condition. If fitted later. You need to use barrier method like condom for at least next 15 days. I will suggest you to use I pill or Plan B within 72 hours of unprotected sex activity. If this time periods are lapsed by now, you can wait for your expected date of cycle or till 15 days after your sex activity, and get urine pregnancy test or blood beta Chat Doctor test done to rule out pregnancy. As with Explain, you may or may not get your nest cycle regularly; just do not wait to get your next menses.I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

Hi i seem to be gaining weight and when I move a certain way I could feel like a ball in the lower left side of my abdomen, my stomach seems to be unusually big but I m very active and I do get my period every month but only for one or two days, so what do you think is going on?
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, after an initial personal clinical assessment of your abdomen, I would advise you for an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any pathology of the intra-abdominal/intro pelvic organs. I would also go for a thyroid function test as you are gaining weight. Further management would depend on the results of the investigations. Till then, you could add daily routine exercises like a morning walk or jogging depending on your medical fitness. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have a small ball like thing on my gums. It s on both sides of my lower jaw. It does not hurt but is hard. The left side is more pointy than the right side. My grandfather had oral cancer, should I be worried? I do not smoke, chew tabacco or drink.
|
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have small growth on both side of gums this can be due to poor periodontal condition, it can be due to formation of periodontal abscess or growth can be due to tooth infection formation of periapical abscess.Don't be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of gum and in meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you.

I never suffer from blood pressure my doctors would say my pressure is like a babys 110 over 60 etc. Today i take my blood pressure using wrist type digital and gave me a read of 153 over 105 on the left wrist, i did it again on the right side and received a read of 155 over 108... Is this wrist digital reliable?

Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about this. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. We talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Electronic wrist measuring apparatus are not very realistic. They are strongly related to they're battery life and artifacts of naval periphery. The ideal way to measure blood pressure is with a cuff positioned 5 cm above cubical region and with a stethoscope. Anyway, the fact that you have been always with normal blood pressure values does not exclude hypertension. It might just have started. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls and a holder pressure monitoring to have a full view of your values. Hole I was helpful. Wish you good health Best regards.

I went to my family doctor yesterday. For my Depo. shot. That morning I woke up with a red rash underneath my top part of my arms on both left and right sides and on both top and inner thighs. It burns and itchs. He said it was from stress and anxiety. I am worried. He put me on steroids. Should I be worried about this?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Stress and anxiety and itching rashes could be related. Stress Can Cause Hives. Mental stress increases the amount of corticosteroids released from you a Chat Doctor. Hives develop after the release of histamine from immune cells in blood vessels near the skin causing swelling, heat, and itching. Reduce stress and live happy. Enjoy life. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

sir i am doing since 10year hand job, now i am going to get marriage, i am just worry when i will go to intercourse i thing my penis not stand and driving properly ,so what area the medicine or food i should take and how to stop this hand job ? what i should do?
|
Hello misunderstand your concernMasturbation is normal sexual behavior. It is just like sex but without involvement of partner. Masturbation does not cause any side effects. You should do 2-3 times/week. How can you tell your penis is not stand properly before the sex. Avoid so much thinking as it cause anxiety and stress. Just relax and enjoy your golden period of marriage. You can take healthy diet with milk and fresh fruits, Antioxidant like co Q also help. Do exercise like stretching, yoga, be creative and enjoy your hobby. Avoid alcohol and smoking. Hope this may help you Best regards

I sprained the top of my foot over 2 wees ago, xray showed no fracture. MD gave me walking shoe with velcro straps & to try to sty off of i. I have done that as much as possible. Today I woke to more pain than 2 weeks ago and the top of th foot is reddened.
|
Hello, As you have immobilized the foot there might be some lack of venous return leading to redness. There is nothing to worry. You can do hot water fermentation, a post which you can keep the leg over a pillow while lying down and do some ankle toe movements. This should help reduce pain and swelling. An x-ray revealed no fracture I feel this should be ligament sprain and need some time to heal. During the healing process you may find some discoloration of the skin too. Don't worry and this will be fine soon. In my clinical practice of 12 years found most cases with similar complaints. But with rest and little exercise post 2-3 weeks of injury for about 1-2 weeks everything is fine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hallow Dear, If you have failed to conceive for 2 years and your age is 29 years, you need to undergo investigations along with clinical examination (both of you). Please assess your egg release (ovulation). Though study of uterine lining (endometrium), hormonal levels and many other tests can provide you this information, ultrasonography is most suitable at this stage. If you find that you are ovulating, please try to plan your sexual activities on and around the day of ovulation. Ultrasonography will provide you information about the anatomical view of the uterus and tubes also. Also look for the anatomical normalcy and patency of your reproduction organs. Hysterosalpingography and Laparoscopy will provide you the information. If there is any block, adhesions or any other abnormality, you may require surgical intervention. Get your husbands' semen examined after 4 days of sexual abstinence. Then please report to your infertility consultant. Alternatively, you may upload all your reports and ask me Direct question on this forum for further continued detailed advice. I hope you start acting on these initial guidelines.
