You have not mentioned your age or sex. Protein leak is a sign of early kidney damage. However, it does not mean that your kidneys are failing; in fact your serum creatinine is normal. I would however advise you to obtain urine microscopy and ultrasound of the kidneys.Also, the test to detect protein leak needs to be repeated periodically and if protein leaks increases further investigations may be needed.Meanwhile, there are a few medications to reduce protein leak which should be taken under the supervision of a nephrologist. Hope this helps. Good luck |

Hi I have had a rash , with severe itching for more than 5 weeks now, i am plastered with Pimples , perhaps hives may be a better name, from my feet to my neck, my first GP said a severe allergy , the next hid behind his desk and said scabies , he gave me a RX for melathion off the market for years, thenPermathin, the chemist said there was NO way it was scabies, i sleep in the same bed as my wife, she has helped me pout the cream on, and has no sign of the infection. I saw the remaining GP who said he did not know so would give me the same as GP no 2, i am still itching severerly, and bleeding through my scratching, heat affects me terribly, can you help me please i am desperate. | Hello dear, as correctly mentioned by you, it is hives. That is urticaria. This is an allergic disorder, you must be sensitized to some particular thing which you wear, or some change in food etc. There is no permanent cure to this, you must find out the cause, that is to what thing you are allergic. That will be the only cure. For symptomatic relief you may take antihistamine like cetirizine.thank you |

Leukemia isn't the first thing to tank of. Unexplained bruises are common symptoms and most causes are benign such as thrombocytopenia or clotting factors efficiency. You don't have to go to ER, but in short time do detailed blood work to rule out hematologic disorders. Also, some women have predispositions for veins breaking. If you have normal red and white blood count then there is no risk of leukemia.Wish you good health. |

my mom is having serious issues. She can no longer speak, and lost all swallowing for two years until about 3 months ago. She can now swallow a little bit. At one point Mayo clinic told her she had some form of bulbar palsy but couldn t explain what or why. A year later a neurologist told her it was ALS. She had no other symptoms though at that point and no lower motor neuron issues. She had no change for about 1 in a half years. We had several doctors question the ALS diagnosis. In Sept of 14 she tested off the charts positive for Lyme. Started treatments in November and in the last few months has declined quite a bit. She is having weakness in her legs (still walking) and some brain fog and overall weakness I guess I would say. This is year four of the first time we noticed her symptoms (which was slow speech) She does not want to see another neurologist because it has been such a long and hard battle to find answers and have not had a good experience anywhere. She is now 69 years old and was in good health prior to this. Do you believe this to be ALS or can lyme disease cause this? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com I am Chat Doctor.

is this really a doctor?im dealing with bad upper back pain-5yrs now, still trying to find out whats causing it. i had a car accident. upper back pain feels like burning stabbing continuous pain. right on the spine is tenderness, used to be extremely painful when pressed lightly. went through 6 weeks of chiropractic treatment recently (felt extremely painful afterwards everytime!!) and the last one left me even worse. now my neck has pain and feels weak and i have sciatica, i feels like both but maybe just left (unilateral?) a lot of pain in buttocks, usually stops at the end of the thighs (back) tail bone hurts too..weakness in legs, a little numbness, most of the numbness is in my lower back.. what do you think? | Dear Patient, your back pain needs proper evaluation and diagnosis, and an MRI of the region is the primary requisite beyond good examination, if there is compression on the nerves in the back, you may need surgery, but you should not just depend on chiropractic treatment, moreover beyond disc diseases other conditions can also cause such symptoms, and you will need and MRI to come to an end in this evaluation of the cause. So consult your doctor and get examined and investigated. Any further query is welcome. Thanks |
Like most guys, Im freaking out about the possibility of my gf being pregnant. We had sex around 1 AM on 6 Oct. The condum broke and she took plan b 2hours later. We looked at the date of her last period 17 Sept and now Im freaking out because this means she was most fertile and probably ovulating. What are the chances of her being pregnant? Should I worry? By the way, she took a pregnancy test Sunday and it was negative. | Hello thanks for your query. The plan B is 95 % effective in preventing a pregnancy when taken within 24 hours, however the rate is less around ovulation. If she skips her period, please go for a pregnancy test. If it is negative, do not worry, as plan b often causes normal cycles to be delayed or advanced by a week or more. Repeat the pregnancy test after a week, and if still negative, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation. Take care |
hi doctor. one of my friend was suffering from serve stomach and abdominal pain . he was hospitalized and doctor injected him paracetamol IV. once his pain was little subdued certain tests were done and we came to know that he is suffering from hepatitis B. can u pls help me letting me know till now neither we nor my friend know that he was suffering from hepatitis B. Is there any scope that on injecting paracetamol iv the virus of hepatitis B got detected. is it possible . | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Hepatitis B is a viral disease transmitted by parental route and sexual transmission. It can be transmitted by needle pricks, blood transfusion and the Iv Chat Doctor. Injecting Paracetamol will not detect the hepatitis B infection. It is detected by band of lab Investigations like1.HBsAg2. Anti HBs3. Liver EnzymesThese test should be done before the confirmation of hepatitis infection in the body. Thank you. |
Hi I m having back aches and I guess it s making my stomach hurt and I don t know what to do I can t lay down it hurts so bad I do track and cross country I run all the time could that be the problem because it s an uncomfortable feeling to not get comfortable and when I run it doesn t hurt at all I have no fever and I eat just normal but it s make my stomach on fire. Do have anything that could help me. | Dear friend generally back does not cause stomach pain. So I am trying to deal with your problem picking one problem then another.first the most common cause of back problem is muscle spasm in and around vertebral column. Excessive or overuse of these muscles in the form of lifting weight or bending forwards causes back pain. So what you have to do is give rest to your muscles and do some back strengthening exercise like flexion exercise of back region. And as far as stomach pain and burning sensation is concerned it can be due to excessive acid secretion in the stomach. So regular intake of Sanitizing can give you relief from this nagging pain.I hope in this way you can solve your health problems.my best wishes.thank you. |

Your wife had miscarriage after 3 months of conception is itself suggestive that you are not infertile.Hence, you do not need any medication being commonly used in treatment of infertility.

i have a 5 year son who for about a week now is having these random coughing spurts and sometime will make him vomit. he does not have any fever but very fatigue. it sometimes happens atleast 4 to 5 times a day. he cannot even talk during these spouts of coughing. | Hi...by what you quote I feel that he might be having a pertussis cough and the infection would have been caused by an atypical organism. If the child is coughing in bouts and the eyes are becoming red and face is becoming red during the cough bout and if after cough he is having a whooping inspiratory noise then it could be whooping cough or pertussis cough. I suggest you consult your pediatrician and get an antibiotic prescription and a cough suppressant. Once started this type of cough can last for 4-6 weeks. Regards - |

I would suggest consulting the gynecologist and undergo reproductive hormonal analysis, USG scan, ovarian follicle study to confirm the causeSpecific treatment will depend on the baseman while avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor.

I have upper thigh pain. I have become to weak in my legs to get off from a floor on my own. I started Atkins diet in October 2013. I have lost 35 pounds. I am also menopausal. Approximately 3 years ago, I had similar symptoms and thought it was a long drawn out flue. Perplexed in MI. I am 47... | Hi there. Firstly congratulations on losing an appreciable amount of weight. Keep it up and its really inspiring that you have managed to do so. Now coming to your problems. From what I have gathered after reading about your situation, you might be having a problem with your spine which may be compressing a nerve that supplies the area around the anterior aspect of the thigh, which is likely to be at the lower lumbar spine region. This problem could either be due to degenerative changes in your spine or a disc related problem. The thigh muscles are responsible for extending your knee and are part of the antigravity muscles that help you in standing up. Also given that you are post menopausal, I hope that you are taking supplements and adequate hormone replacement therapy. If not please consult your doctor about starting the same. Post menopausal osteoporosis can lead you to have compression fractures of the vertebrae and that may worsen an already underlying problem that you might have been having till now. If your problems are not progressively worsening, then conservative management with initial period of rest followed by physiotherapy for the back muscles such as extension exercises will be useful for you. Do remember some important danger signs, if you end up having any disturbances in your bowel/ bladder habits, such as loss of control, increasing frequency of urination or progressive weakness you will need to consult your doctor immediately. For your current problem, I suggest you get x-rays of your hip joints and spine taken and get a neurological evaluation for the same. Thank you. |

These disorders are monitored with clotting or coagulation tests like prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (apt) and INR. The dose of anti-coagulants is calculated by the coagulation tests especially INR. Thus, consult your treating doctor for prescription of coagulation tests as well as calculation of dosages of anti-coagulants. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |
I am currently just over 22 weeks pregnant and my breasts have grown over 12 cup sizes already. I used to be a 32d and am now well over a 32k. I have been seen by the breast specialists at the hospital who have told me that my breast are very engorged, with blocked ducts and valves as well as inflammation of the breast tissue however there solution is that I just get on with it. I am absolutely beside myself, I can t sleep the pain is unbearable and the radiologist thinks I have a rare condition caused by pregnancy (which he couldn t give me a name for) and that I should just learn to love my breasts. He also said they probably wouldn t ever return to their original size. I have looked on the net and have now convinced myself I have gigantomastia which is distressing me greatly as some of the pictures on the net are horrendous. I have gained a stone in weight and yet my bump at the moment is only small. I am having trouble functioning and am desperate for help. | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. I am sorry that your breasts have developed such a painful condition. You are correct that you may have breast hypertrophy, which is abnormal growth of the breasts, due to the hormones of pregnancy. Gigantomastia describes breasts that increase in size by 2.5\u00a0kg or greater. Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for breast hypertrophy, especially during pregnancy. Hormonal medications really do not work, and elective surgery is not recommended until at least a year after the baby is born, as sometimes the size of the breast does go down on its own. In the meantime, ice packs and supportive, stretch bras, even when you sleep, can help with the discomfort. Limiting your overall weight gain will also help slow down breast growth, as a significant portion of breast tissue is fat. Applying lots of lotion and emollients to the skin will help reduce stretch marks. I am sorry that there is no immediate treatment for your condition, but your breasts may slow in growth as the pregnancy progresses. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, |
My child is two years old. He plays always with water and gets cold frequently. Now he has cold and cough. He also vomits with cold. I have given zyrcold syrup. Is it enough or I have give any other supplementary medicine. The climate is quite chill with monsoon rain. | Hi Dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Recurrent RTI are quite common in this post rainy season. Improve the immunity of the child with high protein diet and supplementation with multivitamin and iron syrups. People infected with viral infection should be avoided to come in contact with the child. Combination of antihistamines decongestant medicine help in reliving the symptoms. Hope the query is answered. Thanks |

i have dryness in my private part that causes me to have itchyness always. in my reading i have found that i might have low estrogen level in my body that causes all this due to stress level etc. please advise how can i gain my estrogen level in my body to avoid dryness in my private part | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have Chat Doctor. Most common cause is estrogen deficiency. At postmenopausal age it is very common. You should take supplement estrogen therapy. It is called hormone replacement therapy. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.

I have been attempting suicide from the age of 10 onward, by ransacking the medicine cabinet and eventually sleeping for days at at a time up until early adulthood, and one time i remember my heart stopped 3 times in hospital. i coped with my depression with major binge drinking from the age of 14 throughout the majority of my life, as long as i remember i have been experiencing dizzy spells, cold sweats and random collapsing/ fainting . i quit consuming these chemicals when i fell pregnant at 21 but still had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. i have been experiencing horrible menstrual cycles since my miscarriage, to the point of feeling crippled and suffering excruciating pain. i feel ill, get crazy migraines and get dizzy, the worst thing is that panadol doesnt help anymore. i worry if i have jeopardized my long term health and ability to carry a child ? i have never had a pap smear and during my miscarriage the nurse had mentioned that i am anaemic. i am feeling the damage i inflicted in my past and fear for what i have done to my body? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you have been going through a very difficult time since childhood - with your depression, suicidal attempts, Chat Doctor. Since you have had a miscarriage and have irregular and painful menstrual cycles, it is important that you have a proper gynecological evaluation done. There can be a variety of causes for miscarriage, and it is necessary to find out the probable cause, so that adequate preventive measures can be taken for your future pregnancies. Though you've had a very difficult past, if you take steps to quit taking any harmful substances and seek help in handling your problems, then I think your body and mind will be able to get back to normal soon. So, please take positive steps and seek appropriate professional help. Wish you all the best. |
Hi Dr. Rynne, i recently lifted something very heavy and now i have a tingle in my lower back with a itch. A couple days have gone by now it s seemed to move to my lower stomach. Is that a pinched nerve? If so how can i treat? Not painful more irritating. | Dear friend, thank you for your consultation. I have read your problem carefully.it seems that you have hurt your vertebral column while lifting heavy weight. See there is a sponge like substance in between our vertebra, which is called vertebral disc.i your case this disc has been disbalance causing vertebral bones pressing against nerves lies in between. This is the cause of irritation. What you have to do is take a complete bed rest for a week to help the disc to come back in its old position. Then stop lifting heavy weight and bending forwards.in this way you can get rid of this nagging tingling sensation. Thank you. |
Hello, I have been having some very odd visual hallucinations as well as auditory. they sometimes occur together at the same time. One hallucination seams to confirm or deny another. which causes confusion ans disrupts social relationships/interactions. Also, sometimes they occur as tactile skin sensations that are very unpleasant and uncomfortable. Because I feel it but i can see that it isn t whats happening. Ive been told to only believe 1/2 of what you see and none of what you hear. I am just wondering what the scientific facts are. And whats really going on | HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor This is called psychosis. It happens due to dopamine imbalance, in that case, you need antipsychotic that would be able to balance the dopamine level. When dopamine level increases at Mesolithic system, it leads to positive psychotic symptoms in form of hallucination, which could be controlled by dopamine antagonist like antipsychotic. Better to consult a psychiatrist for further management. Thanks |
My wife passed recently from PSP disease an advanced form of Parkinsons. I was the primary caregiver and agrivated my previously injured back. I had gone to a parkinsons conference and remember that back injuries were the #1 issue for primary care givers. I need to get some info on this for my own disability hearing. | Dear- I read your question and understood your concern Lifting is one of the causes of back pain, mostly lower back. You need to have an evaluation with MRI of lumbosacral to see if you have a herniated disc or spinal stenosis and nerve treatment. That is very incapacitating because it limits your movement and activities. You need to have MRI of lumbosacral to evaluate the level of damage and give recommendations based on it. I hope my advice has been helpful Chat Doctor. |
hi doc,i m 26yr old,me and my husband trying to concieve from 3yrs but still not pregnant,my gynic told me,every thing is normal,but my egg size is not increase,dr. give me clomid 2 times,it not works,now she gives me fertomid 50 mg tab.and do folicular study,but egg size not increase on 12th day of my cycle,now its my 29th day,periods not com,is there any chance to get pregnant | Hi, Firstly, any couple who want to conceive need a lot of patience and doctor compliance. The success rate with Camphene induction after a 6-month course is around 30-60%. When the size of the follicle is not sufficient for rupture, hormone injections can be given to enhance ovulation and progesterone supplementation can be given to enhance endometrium. You should wait for a week or so before you go for further evaluation, as your chances of pregnancy do not seem to be good in this cycle, as the follicle may not have ruptured. Please get further advice from your doctor. Good luck. |
Hi, I just have a question. I had to use the bathroom really bad, but had to take care of my child first, so I held it and right before I went to use the bathroom I felt this sharp pain on the right side of my abdomen. I almost threw up because the pain was so awful. I rolled around on my bed moaning and groaning out of pain which helped a little bit and after a few minutes, it went away. Do you know if there s anything to be concerned about? | Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history of holding your child and going to the bathroom simultaneously, it seems to be a minor stretching and tear of part of your abdominal muscles, which might have caused this awful pain. As it went away later on taking rest, I would not consider it to be of any serious nature. However, if it recurs again, I would advise you for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. |

my 84 yr old mother who has moderate to severe vascular dementia has tmo leaky heart valves. she has already had a valve replaced 5 yrs ago which although successful increased her dementia a lot so surgery not an option. how long do you think my mums lifespan will be? | Hello, Vascular dementia doesn't influence your mothers' lifespan that much if properly cared for she can live for many years. What might be more problematic and risk her life would be her heart issues. It is hard to make predictions on that regard though as you don't provide much information on the valves involved, heart residual function, other commonly associated phenomena such as arrhythmia and medications she's taking.

yes please.....I am a 60 year old female. For the past 2 days I have been getting chills and fever in the evenings. Also pressure in my pelvic area. When I need to go to the bathroom I cannot hold it. I wonder if this could be a sign of a UTI. I am also on Hydrochorothiazide 25 mg. and Lisinopril 10 mg. Any thoughts on this? Thank you | Hello, Yes fever with chills, pressure in pelvic area before an urge to urinate definitely goes in favor of urinary tract infection more significantly cystitis (bladder infection). It is more seen in association with conditions like high blood pressure (for which you are taking the medicines), diabetes or spinal injury or urinary stones. Fever indicates bacterial infection for this you need urinalysis report along with other investigations advised by an expert. Antibiotic like Norfloxacin along with alkaline syrup with a lot of water usually relieves the symptoms in few days. But as the condition is likely to become recurrent and chronic, full course of medicines are needed to cure it. Please consult your family physician. Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

White Skin Tab under tongue floor of tongue - what is this I was brushing my teeth and I noticed under my tongue on the floor of my mouth what looked like a white skin tab - i guess u would call it. I started going on line and looking this up and found all these things about tongue cancer and I am making myself nervous and crazy. I also started taking antibiotics last Thursday because I had a route canal done on Monday. Can you please tell me what you think it is - I am very nervous. Thanks in advance for your help. | Hi; the white skin tab need not be cancer. You noticed it recently secondly there is no severe pain. It can be an oral thrush (infection)which occur due to some infection or sometimes with even antibiotic. I think there is no need to worry. Cancer is when you have any prolonged ;painful ;affection which is not going by any treatment.Don't worry you can apply borax glycerine also take some multivitamins & it should settle.

Hi doctor , I m having discomfort in lower right abdomen for few years . And for the last few months I have pain in the buttock and lateral side of the hip. I had blood test which showed elevated ESR of value 123, hb of 12.9 , mch 26.6 and MCHC 32.1 . I have got bit of tingling in my body especially in night time on feet . I m 33 years old male . | Hi. The pain in such a situation can be due to Sons Abscess (a muscle at the back of abdomen). You have a very high ESR indicating chronic problem. I would advise such a patient to undergo MRI of lower spine abdomen and hip area to confirm the diagnosis and go for further management. MY view goes into favor of ruling out the tuberculosis of the spine tracking down along the muscles. Please let us know the findings. |

As a sexual orientation, homosexuality is \"an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions\" to people of the same sex. At different times and in different cultures, homosexual behavior has been variously approved of, tolerated, punished, and banned. Homosexuality was not uncommon. But you should not feel shamed being homosexual. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. V. Anand, Psychologist |
Last night I noticed a small rash on my neck. It was like 3 little bumps. I did not pay much attention to it, but this morning, I have a rash on the side of my face at my neck line. It burned like fire. I went to the pharmacy, and talked with one of them, and she recommended cortisone creme. That helped some with the burning. It looks weird. I am wondering if I am getting shingles. I showed it to my son tonight, and he told me that his dad has shingles currently. I know my immune system is weak from a hysterectomy followed by bowel resection surgery and I have sarcoidosis (in remission). | Hi there. I note with interest that you seem to be on the right track at least where diagnosis goes. The pharmacist was right in prescribing the cortisone as that would be my first reaction to assuming it was an irritant reaction or an insect bite reaction. However, if the progress is as suggested & you have never got herpes zoster earlier & your immunity is compromised as you suggest, then it is more than likely your hunch is right & you ail from herpes zoster. Please go to the ER immediately & they will start you on the antivirals required as this is most effective the earlier one starts it. If pas the period of 48-72 hrs, then topical creams will suffice & symptoms are to be treated. Wish you a speedy recovery & Good Luck. Chat Doctor. |

I am an 18 year old male and im experiencing a clear liquid coming from my anus when i masterbate,Nd alot of time when i ejaculate nothing comes out but when sperm does come out (which happens rarely) the inside of my penis hurts,what could this mean? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe you must be having a problem called, the hypomanias, or urethra rectal fistula. But in that case you must have the passage of the urine also through the rectum, but with the urge to defecate. Anyhow the query is misleading, so I advise you to consult a urologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you. |
Hi,I both upper arms feels cold usually during the sleep, I feel same thing during the day but it doesnt bother me much. I have an allergy to dust, palm, sour grape almost every fragrance, I used to think that is way my upper arm feels cold. Even though room temperature is about 75 F or above, still my upper arm feels same thing. What do you think.Thanks in advance! | Hello, I have studied your case. As per your symptoms neck pain can be due to diffuse disc bulge compressing your cervical spine. Another possibility of thoracic outlet obstruction leading to vascular compromise leading to cold feeling. Some medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor. MRI and color Doppler will help in diagnosis. Also check your it B12 in your blood. Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery. Take care |
I recently had a scan that showed a 8.4mm cyst on my left kidney. However as I was being scanned for gallstones, the cyst was never mentioned (the scan was done overseas and so they type up a report of their findings). I am now worried that it has been disregarded. What could it be? | Hello Thanks for writing to simple cortical cyst in kidney is a benign lesion of unknown etiology arising from renal parenchymal, and it rarely causes complications. It may be the reason for omission of small renal cyst in previous reports. Renal cortical cyst is a very common type of kidney cyst, and it is a fluid-filled sac. Small cysts generally doesn't causes symptoms, and it is found in a routine examination for other issues. When cyst grows larger, patient may feel pain or pressure in back or sides, which often radiates downward. Renal cortical cysts usually doesn't require any treatment. Take Care Chat Doctor. |
my son has vomited three times since Friday and complained about a headache Thursday evening. he is five. he has a history of vomiting, usually associated with constipation, but we question whether these recent occurrences are connected to history of constipation. He has not mentioned any issues with headaches since thursday | HAI I'm Chat Doctor. Vomiting in most occurrences can come along with headache. So all these three symptoms are interlinked. But all these three conditions can be rectified with lifestyle modification, diet and medication. High fiber diet containing food like green leafy vegetables and fruits must be added in diet. Plenty of water intake is essential. Both will prevent constipation and sometimes vomiting too. Headache and vomiting are usually acute manifestations, which will settle down with medications. So you don't have to worry. If at all constipation does not rectify with diet modifications, give him cephalic syrup 7.5ml in the night for 2 weeks. Take care. |
Hi I had a bit of a clash in playing netball tonight!! I hit my temple quite hard and felt a little dizzy for a few minitues. I continued to play and it was okay just a little tender!! I have a slight headache and bruising around the temple - should I be worried or get this checked out and what symptoms should I look for if there would be any internal damage!! My brother was in a axe accident and became permanently brain damaged so I know how delicate I can be which may be making me paranoid, I am struggling to sleep over thinking so would appreciate some reassurance or advice - thanks | Hello, I understand that you are worried about this issue. I would advise that you visit your doctor today or tomorrow and get this problem checked out. Seeing as you are having a headache, it is always better to be on the safe side. There is nothing to be paranoid about though, do not worry. Most likely it is a concussion but even if your doctor finds a contusion or some amount of bleeding in the cranium, he would be sure to treat you well, and the condition is very amenable to treatment, without long term sequela in the vast majority of cases. The symptoms that you should look out for |
I had incisional hernia repaired 2yrs ago. Over the last year or so I m feeling the same type of pain I had before the repair. Burning pain and now a new sensation, a crawling/fluttering feeling over the insicion area. There is stiffness and pain around that area, mesh was used to fix the hernia. My doctor said CT scan showed no hernia reoccurrence. Could I be having mesh reaction? Would CT show this? No pain in the morning, but starts once I start eating and unbearable by mid afternoon. Worse when i sit for long periods at work. Even worse if I have gas/ bloating . What can be done? Naproxen, lidoderm patches don t help. | Did you undergo an open incisional hernia repair or a laparoscopic one? If you had a laparoscopic repair, then the tacks used to fix the mesh can sometimes lead to the symptoms you are complaining of. In open repair, extensive dissection is done and that can lead to this feeling as well. These complaints will settle down with time. If you are overweight, then try to reduce a couple of kg, and you will feel better. You have already been assured by getting a CT done that it is not a recurrence. Another possibility could be gastritis or a peptic ulcer. You can try a proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole, etc.) for your pain and see if it helps you out. If the pain still persists, then you should consult your doctor. Hope you get well soon |
I been treated for sle lupus for 20 years now they tell me I got sarcoidosis I been having trouble breathing for a min now they say it my heart one heart doctor ask me after he look at the test why did they say I needed a stint so he refer me to another heart doctor... Can you get sarcoidosis confuse with that | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, acidosis can not be confused with coronary artery disease (CAD). You must be having blockage in any of the main coronary vessels which needs stenting. You already have SHE (Lupus). This causes arthritis and thrombosis in coronary arteries. So you should definitely undergo stenting. No harm in it. And it is not misunderstood with acidosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
I am a 26 year old female and I have 3 children all natural births. I had a partial hysterectomy in july 2010, I have been having lower right side pain since dec 2012 and now is increasingly getting worse iv been to the er and dr and they cant find anything wrong!! its a sharp pain around my right ovary and in my groin area is consistently hurting w/ a dull achy pain and shoots down my upper theigh area. Last fall I did have a cyst on that ovary that was filled with blood and busted . I also have had my gallbladder removed and a hematoma in my stomach and I also have endometriosis. Can you help me get to the bottom of this miserable pain? | Hi! Thank you for your question. I have had patients before whom, after undergoing abdominal surgery, also developed pain in the same area or nearby. The most common explanation for your pain, if not due to anything else, is adhesions. Adhesions are tough fibrous tissue that develop as a result to the trauma of surgery. You can consider them as scar tissue that form between organs and tissues, causing them to stick together or be pulled from their normal positions. This will, of course, cause some discomfort or pain like in your case. Take care! |
I have had a cold for over a week and have been congested. I have been taking musings. I ve had some pressure in my chest the last couple of days and when I press on my lower sternum I have a little pain. I checked my blood pressure with a cheap BP cup and it read 140/100. Do you think this is cause by my cold? | Hello, Cold could be due to allergic condition, and it may not cause high blood pressure, if this is the high blood pressure noted even if this is taken with cheap kind of machine but still it created the doubt in high blood pressure, and it has to be ruled and for that it is better to see the physician, blood pressure reading you have taken can not be taken as final reading, but it can not be neglected until and unless proved either right or wrong. Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance. |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...hi ive had a pimple like spot in my gum for over a year naw , theres also a lump and when i pop it puss followed by blood comes out... it goes away then for a few days til the exact same thing keeps reaccuring... i would like to know what this is as im petrified after just reading a woman had gangerine in her gum | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pus filled lump and pus discharge can be a pus discharging sinus tract secondary to tooth infection(either periapical granuloma or periapical cyst). Nothing to be panic. Consult your oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any infection. If it is gum or tooth infection You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days(if you are not allergic). After taking antibiotics you can get the tooth treated with RCT(if bone support is fine) for tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

Hi I have been having constant headaches for the past four weeks I have recently quit smoking and drink alchohol pretty often, I have been having a bleeding gums for a whe now and I now have a small pimple like growth on the back of my neck these headaches are unbearable what can I do | Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Constant headaches could be due to many reasons, like migraine. Due to sinusitis, due to acidity, vision problems, hypertension, etc.Therefore, please visit your physician and get your CBC(Complete blood count test)done. After the reports it can be treated accordingly. Regarding your gum problem, it appears to be gingivitis. It means mild to moderate infection of gum. For this you need to visit your dentist and get a course of antibiotics. After that a scaling or cleaning will be required as a treatment. This should help. Let me know for further doubts. Thanks. Take care. |
I have 3 hard lumps on my chest - / to bottom near sternum and one just below breast area. Im a 35 yr male2 are pea sized 1 about size of small finger nailThey dont hurt, and you cant notice them unless you touch. Also have one on my back - this is about the size of a marble | Hi. Thanks for your query. Most probably these lumps, which are painless and have been noticed almost simultaneously are lipomas. There is chance that these can be sebaceous cysts or other forms. The best way to get a diagnosis is to do get them checked by a Surgeon, who on clinical examination can tell. Another option is to do FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology. IF you are worried get them all excised. You get 2 benefits disease is out of body, and you get a perfect diagnosis. |

How long does it take to shrink an enlarged prostate for radiation seed implants using Lupron Depot shots and Casodex pills? Also, my prostate biopsy showed 4 readings of Gleason 6 and 1 reading of Gleason 7; would radiation seeds be appropriate for treating my prostate cancer? Thanks, Bruce | HelloThanks for query. You have been diagnosed to have Prostate Cancer with Gleason's score of 7. The choice of treatment for Cancer of the prostate depends upon the fact whether it is organ confined disease or has infiltrated in surrounding tissue. Radical Prostatectomy is preferred mode of treatment in case cancer is confined to prostate gland. Whereas radiation is advised in cases where it has spread to surrounding tissue. Chat Doctor. . |
hey! i know this may sound weird and embarrassing but I think i might have gotten an STD the reason why is because I recently noticed that I have a small bump in my genital area and i think another one is coming and i am scared to death. Honestly I do not know if it is because I recently shaved but i am also really scared and embarrassed to go to a doctor in person. | Hi, Since you have not mentioned sexual intercourse, protection or so, it is difficult to give details. As a general rule if you have unprotected sexual behavior then only there is a chance of any STD. If not so then this can be a small boil or so. So do not worry if there is no history of unprotected sex. Also get the blood STD panel done so that proper treatment can be done if there is any positive finding. If all these tests are negative then why to worry. If anything is positive then you should consult our Doctor or a Specialist for clinical examination and get treated accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

hi doctor i have problem in my penis one curvature downside and right side and too much pain in time of incourses and not erectile problem these all problem because i did over mostribution then i was 12 year old up to 25 year 3 time a day 4 time a day | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Excess masturbation can cause mental problems like anxiety but cannot cause physical problems or health related problems as you mention here. Those are myths. Curvature could be due to your masturbation. But that is a blessing. Curved penis will provide you more pleasure inside a vagina than straight penis because curved penis provides more friction. Pain is not associated with the curvature. I think you are anxious and obsessive with these sexual matters, and you are worried. Such obsession often causes performance anxiety. Keep away from anxiety and gain correct knowledge. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http |
I was in a car accident a week ago when I hit a tree full on going about 35 mph I believe. I had dozed off when I hit it and the airbag went off and hit my face hard. My seat was also close to the steering wheel because I keep it close. They gave me motrin and muscle relaxers but I am still sore. The soreness is mostly in my back (spine area) chest (having trouble breathing) and my head kills even more so when the medicine wears off. I also have no desire to eat like I don t feel hungry at all. I have been forcing myself to eat though so I get something in my stomach, but I feel like throwing up after I eat anything. I just want to know if all of this is normal or if I should be concerned.I am a woman, 18, and about 135 pounds if that helps or matters at all. | Whiplash injuries and chest and abdominal trauma are very common in the mechanism was u have mentioned. So series of radiological investigations which include spine, thoracolumbar, chest X-rays are must. Along with an ultrasound abdomen. Inconclusive results proceed ahead with ct abdomen n thorax. If normal then could be a soft tissue injury and muscle strain. And adequate analgesia will relieve all your symptoms. |
My doctor just told me I have a swollen liver. I havent gotten my menstrual cycle in the last ten days. I dont want to believe that I am pregnant, becuase Im not ready, but I was just wondering. Does the liver being swollen cause anything to my menstrual cycle? | Hi, There are many causes of liver enlargement and treatment depends on exact cause. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required. Also, if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment.

Hi my name is Dessy and I d like to ask you about my daughter condition, she s 6 months old baby ; has a persistance exzema on her face; its start 2 days after the second DPT+HIB+OPV vaccine. it s already 45 days per now. Do you have a tip how to eradicate the redness/ inflammation on her face. I already give her hydrocortisone 1% + physiogel cream for the last 14 days. (before that, her pediatrician give her advantan ointment + kamilosan cream). thanks before | Hi, As per your query you have symptoms of redness and inflammation on the face of the baby which seems to be a type of allergic reaction known as urticaria. It could be due to vitamin deficiency as well. Need not worry. I would suggest you use a moderately potent topical steroid such as fluticasone, twice daily over the whole affected area and use it for 5-7 days. Wash the area with plain water and apply ice pressure on it. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined to find out the exact cause of lesion and start treatment accordingly. Chat Doctor.

Hi my name is Jarvis and i have been having knee problem for about two years now some of the symptoms of my bad left knee are Pain when straightening, the knee slight pain when walking and i kind of walk funny so i have been told is there any way to correct this bad knee. | Hello, With respect to the knee, I will recommend you to first take an MRI. Because your knee is giving pain from 2 years and also there are gait changes, which according to you is funny walking then I suspect some soft tissue damage and maybe early degenerative changes. This isn't a good thing to hear as well. Because any injury to the knee if ignored will land into major soft tissue damages and early osteoarthritis of the knee. To avoid the early aging of the knee joint it is advised to take an MRI and treat accordingly, so we can avoid major damages at an early age. For now, I will recommend you to try meeting up a physiotherapist, so you can get the muscles of the lower limb strengthened which may avoid further injury to the internal structures of the knee. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, the early detection of the knee injury with clinical examination and with the help of MRI most cases have avoided early osteoarthritis of the knee. With exercise which are specially designed for knee rehabilitation are implemented and results are as expected. I will request you to take an MRI and take the decision wisely. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor. |

She lays her head on our rug and wont move, she is warm but her breathing is okay and she has had 3 wet diapers. | Hi.... I have just read through your query. By what you say I feel that your kid might be having a very initial stage of viral watery diarrhea. Unless the kid is very dull and lethargic, or he is having bilious or green vomiting or abdominal distention for high grade fever or decreased urine output or blood in the motion you need not worry.

I noticed a swollen lymph node in my right neck in January, and went for a checkup. Blood test was conducted and only abnormal result was ESR = 47, doctor prescribed antibiotics which I took. In February another blood test was done ESR = 50. CRP = 10 but doc said CRP is still within the normal range. Lymph node still swollen. Will be going in for a biopsy of the node next week. No other symptoms or signs except for a blocked nose on the right (no ear infection detected during the check up). What could these symptoms be a sign of? and what is the probability that it is a sign of malignancy/serious health isues? | HI. The best way to diagnose is go for an FNAC = =Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, an OLD procedure and gives a proper diagnosis many times.IT may also aspirate pus - to send for tests for tuberculosis (a common reason with high ESR)/If possible get this done under USG guidance-this helps to diagnose the status of other nodes not palpable on clinical examination- adherence to each other-pus pocket inside. IF FNAC gives a diagnosis, you may not need a biopsy. If at all they advised only for confirmation. Blocked nose may have no relation t the present problem. |
Hi,Im a 27 yo female in generally good health. I have had a non-itchy, non-scaly, rash mostly characterized by red patches forming a large square between my shoulder blades. This rash has been present for several years (?), but has grown in size. It has also spread to the underside and tops of my breasts, but has spared the nipple area. It seems like it may worsen in response to sun or heat, but it may be that it just stands out more. My skin has been scraped and tested for fungal involvement, and that was negative. I also currently have a biopsy pending, but I wanted to see Iif anyone has ideas in case the biopsy is unremarkable. | Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but It's difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination. Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way. You can reach me directly through the below-mentioned link.https |
Hi Im Victoria Im a 19 year old femal. Ive been getting a lot of stress. I think I might have some problems with heart or Im thinking it might just be anxiety but I might be wrong. So when I lay down on my bed or on the couch on the side for long or just for a little while and start moving to anther position to be comfortable theres a lot of tightness or pressure its very sore not painful just extreamly sore. I do experience numbness or soreness on my arms and jaw sorenss and I feel like theres something a lil more on the left side of my throat and my stomach is also sore | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion your symptoms are mostly due to anxiety. But better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Anxiety appears more in your case due to stress. Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. |
i have painfull hart palpertations after only a little exertion like picking up my daughter, and pains in my left arm and leg, with a severe pain in my head its not a headache but a more solid hard pain, my dad suffers from anjina and is on betablockers, is there a connection, i am 42 | Painful heart palpitations after exertion suggest that certain area of your heart might be getting less blood supply as compared to what is needed. Plus the associated radiating pain in left arm and leg also point towards the same. However, in some cases, palpitations might also happen due to some anemic disease where cardiopulmonary reserve is low. Consult a cardiologist and get your ECG, ECHO and Stress TMT tests done which will rule out any serious cardiac disease. Also, as you father suffers from angina, there is a slight increased probability of you suffering from the same. |
I got into a car crash about two weeks ago and hit my shin. I was in a splint for a few days and crutches for about four days. I now have a large ish bump on the same spot where I injured it in the crash. It is very painful. And slightly swollen. Any ideas about why? | Hello dear, The lump formation after injury is due to accumulation of fluid & blood, and it is called Hematoma. The blood cells accumulated are eventually broken down and absorbed in the body. But this is a slow process & takes times to disappear completely. Till that time, symptomatic relief is obtained by ice compression, adequate rest & analgesic preparation like Diclofenac+ Serratiopeptidase. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedic for proper clinical examination.X-ray of the affected leg will be helpful to rule out any fracture or other pathological causes. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care. |
My father has been suffering from left side paralysis for over 10 months. He has been doing physiotherapy exercises regularly since then. There is some improvement in his leg and he walks slowly now even though there was slight bent at ankle. There is no improvement in left hand but he feels pain all over it . Besides , he is sugar and BP patient. Can any one suggest treatment that suits him, please? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I am glad to note that your father has been gradually improving after suffering from brain stroke. The key to more improvement is regular physiotherapy. It may take 1-2 years to see a good benefit from physiotherapy. Regarding the bent ankle, we need to exclude a contracture or increased spasticity. Please ask the physiotherapist to evaluate this. The pain in left hand could be neuropathic and would respond to pregabalin capsules. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

I have significant shoulder pain radiating from blade to elbow with some tingling. It especially hurts when I try to lay down at night. My wife noticed that this shoulder is lower that the other when i stand up and the blade sticks out a little. i have no insurance. What might this be and what can i do to alleviate the pain and reduce further injury. | Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest maintaining the area immobilized to prevent further damage. If the symptoms continue, I suggest seeing a neurologist. Hope my answer was helpful.

i am getting a wisdom tooth since 2 years but its not fully out yet due to which it starts paining after every 2-3 months. Due to this, i sometimes get pus in my swelled gums and that side of throat and tonsils also start paining. how can i get rid of the pain in the tonsils and how to get wisdom tooth out? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain, swollen gums, could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection leading to abscess formation). Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
I was working on a chemical tanker lately, we carried halogenated hydrocarbons, gasoline. In the post service medical LFT my Function test results were | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The liver function tests i.e. albumin, globulin, GOT, and alkaline phosphatase are all within normal limits.SGPT is slightly raised, however an isolated increase in one of the liver transaminase enzyme is not of any consequence. Other tests-complete blood counts and ESR are also within normal limits. So, the liver functions are all within normal limits. The levels of liver enzymes are not associated with musculoskeletal injury (ankle injury in your case). The levels of SGPT can be measured after some time. Ankle injury is unrelated with the liver enzymes. Consult an orthopedic for clinical examination, relevant investigations and appropriate management of the ankle injury. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

I have been smelling an offensive smell in my nose for a few months now intermittently and had a numbness at the base of my back, now a strong pain in my right buttock. Could the 2 be connected? Im always tired and just put it down to the change in weather, always being cold and dark | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms (intermittent bed smell)are really complex and could be related to different causes like an infection of the upper airways, epilepsy or a tumor of the base of the scull. Anyway, it is less likely that the bad smell and low back numbness are connected to each other. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical examination and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes |

Hi, Im Taylor. Im 17, 53 and 120lbs. I was diagnosed with a vasculitis about 3yrs ago. It affects my aorta and its enlarged.

Hi, My daughter is 20 months and has been fussy eater. She eats only chapatti (stuffed with dal), rice (simple boiled rice), egg, cheese and French fries. No top feed only mine. She has no interest in foods and have to struggle a lot to feed her. Her every meal takes me 1 and 1.5 hour. And now since 3-4 days she has stopped taking everything. I am really worried. Please advice. | Hi... I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - An active is a well kid even if she is not eating well. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. Hope my answer was helpful for you and if so kindly rate it. I am happy to help any time.

When I went to the doctor for my yearly physical, my doctor noticed that I had some red streaks on the roof of my mouth. She asked me if I had been vomiting, and I said no. What could this be? One minute I am hot and the next minute I am cold. My temperature is 97.6, which is normal for me. | Hello! Read your query. This hot and cold flashes can be due to stores and hormonal irregularity. You did not mention your general health status. I suggest you to check the hormone levels (TSH,T3,T4) and sexual hormones. Make sure you do not suffer HERD. Regarding the red streaks, this can be secondary to HERD or hormonal irregularity. You do not need to worry unless you see them increasing in size or a symptom like pain or burning arises. Regards. |

My job is very hectic and stressful. Do you think I should take a break and get proper medical attention? | For a young man like you, the diastolic pressure is pretty high and the target I am for you should be less than 85 1) you need to cut on salt completely 2) de-stress yourself, if taking a break helps, do that 3) if obese vat down on fat, lose weight. Start exerting at least 30 mins a day 3) work up for hypertension including labs as your doctor suggest s4) if persistent reading in this range, I would suggest you to start medication for the time being until lifestyle changes take over, than start reducing the dose gradually as you have symptoms pertaining to hypertension. Do not allow chronic diseases to creep into your body at a young age and as one begets another. Regards |
