You need to take see a neurosurgeon for this problem. You may need to be on cervical collar and few medications for reducing the compression resulting swelling. In few cases surgery may be needed. You can take a second opinion from a neurosurgeon through the option of specialist opinion available in this website, if you are interested.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my names Will, im 14 years old and ive found a white sort of spot attached to my scrotum, this morning it was rubbing and began to bleed to i put a small plaster on to stop the discomfort. I havent a clue what it is and havent taken the plaster off since. What is it? | Hello, Force spots happen when sebaceous glands, which moisturize your skin and are usually covered by your outer layer of skin, become enlarged and appear as tiny white spots. These spots are harmless. They can appear almost anywhere on your body, including your scrotum and penis. Therefore, I suggest consulting a skin specialist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have numbness on the inside of my mouth. My cheeks and lips. Feels like when the dentist gives you a novicane shot and your lips and cheeks are the last to go back to normal. Or i just got braces taken off of teeth and lips and cheeks are still sore. Every thing tastes dry, even water. I have had these symptoms for almost three weeks now. | Hi. Thanks for the query. In case if there is severe bone loss that is leading to loosening of teeth then unfortunately the teeth has to be extracted as without appropriate bone support the teeth cannot be saved. Secondly if there is very less bone left due to resorption then yes, the implant cannot be done as it also needs sound bone to get integrated. But in such cases first bone grafting is done so that there is appropriate bone formation and bone thickness and height is available for placement of the implants. So my suggestion to you is to please send me your latest full mouth x-ray [Panoramic x-ray] and a scan of your prescription paper so that I can have detailed information and advise you how to proceed.Also, you should get treated by an Planetologist only. Hope this helps. Regards. |

Carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. You should even focus on some strengthening exercises of the extensor group of muscles of the Forearm and hand along with the stretching of the flexor group of muscles to release the pressure. Over a period of time in RSI, the muscle adapts the action and gets locked leading to symptoms like pain, numbness and tingling. Performing regular exercise can help avoid the symptoms of getting words. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In |

I am going to have a knee revision on June 4,2014. I was told that the knee is the wrong size it is to big!!Does this happen alot in knee replacements? | Hello, Welcome at Chat Doctor. I have read your query. I feel sorry that you are going to have too early revision surgery, most probably you may already have revision surgery. During the knee replacement surgery a surgeon have to take care of soft tissue balancing around knee, appropriate size of implant, appropriate cuts at femur & tibia bone & a proper post-operative rehabilitation. All things if taken care appropriately will lead to a good outcome. Complications are part of surgery and sometime even does happen even after taking complete care. Such early revision is not too common but vary between 2-4% per year of total knee replacements. In reference to your surgery you should also read following article. This will help you to have a basic knowledge of muscles around knee & how to build them after complete recovery.http://quarieps.blogspot.in/Please do them under supervision. With best wishes. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My hubby is recovered from phychological problem ( Depression ). Regular medicins are going on. Currently his Dr. is out of town & he is suddenly facing some problem. Since 2 days he complaining that in the night he is getting/ hearing some kind of noise(water noise, feels like some one singing). His current medicins are 1. Divelpro - 1 tab in the night 2. Trizyne - S - 1 tab in the night 3. In case if he has any sudden problem 1/4 tab. of Revitriol (0.5 mg) Wanted to know he can take the Revitrol tab 1/4 for a week (till his Dr. comes back) When ever he takes this tablet he feels good. | Hi Shaka, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your question... Hearing non-existent noises / voices (in medical terms known as hallucinations) is indicative of psychosis, which is a particular type of psychiatric disorder. The current combination of medication which he is taking, already has an anti-psychotic medication i.e. Tribune S (Trifluoperazine). In addition, he is also on a mood-stabilizing medication i.e. Divalproex. Though you have mentioned the diagnosis as depression, he is not on any anti-depressant medication currently. But remember, the word depression can often be used in a non-specific manner by many people, and I'm guessing that he may actually be suffering from a psychotic disorder.PIVOTAL (I presume, not Reversal) is a sedative medication and is used for sleep disturbances and sometimes, to calm down the patient. My opinion is that if he is having psychotic symptoms, it is advisable to treat that specifically (probably by increasing the anti-psychotic medication), rather than merely keep giving him a sedative. Of course, this has to be done only on consultation with a psychiatrist. I would suggest that if you are able to contact him over phone or see his colleague for a quick review, that would be a better idea. All the best.- |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I got the birth control rod Nexplanon inserted in my arm on the 15th of May 2013. Later on that day, i had sexual intercourse with no condom but we used the pullout method. I was supposed to start my period on the 20th of May 2013. I still have not started my period. I have gotten period like cramps during the time of when i was supposed to be on my period. Can the Nexplanon stop periods that early or am i pregnant? | Hi. Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor. You have had intercourse, five days before the expected date of period that falls during the safe period, so the chances of pregnancy is less. Explain should be implanted during the first 5 days of period to be on the safer side, as it will exert protection without a need for additional contraceptive method if implanted during this time. If taken even 3 days before the expected date of periods, progesterone can stop periods. Explain releases progesterone slowly and this may be the reason for the delay or absence of your periods. Although the risk of pregnancy is minimal for you, please rule out pregnancy through blood test. Home pregnancy kits detect Chat Doctor level in urine which may not be positive so early. But blood tests will give you accurate information about your status. I hope this is useful to you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Could it be possible I ve had a hernia since birth 40 years ago ? I was premature and was told my stomach muscles never developed properly. I have pain when I press my lower right side near my belly button . My skin then becomes red and itchy of sorts | Hernia usually presents with pain and a bulge in the abdominal wall on straining, sometimes the hernia is too small to create a bulge and in such cases we do not advice any treatment. Putting finger on the location on abdomen and coughing can help you feel and localize a hernia if one is present. You will feel a slight push against your finger. As for your itch it could be due to a number of reasons, it could be allergic response to the fabric your wearing or anything else that your skin might have come in contact with. Take a simple antihistamine and if the rash resolves, you'll be fine, but if it persists or worsens then you could consult your physician or dermatologist. |

How are you? Bells palsy (facial weakness) is caused by a number of conditions. Most of the time the underlying cause is not known. For the recurrent attack it is due to the viral infection-shingles (herpes simplex) affecting the nerves supplying the facial muscles.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I had a baby 3 months ago and had a copper IUD put in a month ago. About 2 - 3 weeks ago I started getting aches in my lower back, spotting and increased discharge, and when I felt for the strings last Saturday, I realised I could not feel them. I went to King Georges A & E in Ilford, was examined and they confirmed they could not see it, and sent me to Queens hospital. There strangely enough I was examined and they found it, and took it out as I asked. Well I thought that by having it removed it would be the end of my symptoms, but I still have lower back pain although it is more at the base of my spine, and a few twinges around my pelvic area. I had a urine test at the hospital which was clear, and she also took a swab when she removed the coil. I have also suffered painful legs since my pregnancy but they now seem worse? I am not sure if this is linked. Please help it would be much appreciated. Angeline | Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Yes the Copper T may cause the similar symptoms like back pain.2. But in your case, it has been removed some time ago, still pain persist.3. I would start with a basic exercise and lying on the flat surface should relive general back pain. If not then.4. I would ask for an Ultrasound abdomen to rule out intro abdominal causes which cause back pain.5. If you could not find anything then an MRI spine will be the last option. Anything to ask ?

Is this true? | Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. It is true that Islamic Spondylolisthesis can cause dizziness. This condition causes neck muscular spasm. In patients with Islamic Spondylolisthesis blood flow to the brain base is low due to muscular spasm, and this is the reason why patients have dizziness. The treatment of this condition contains painkillers and muscle relaxant medications. A neck X-ray, a complete blood count and a urine test are necessary in order to check the condition of the patient. If the condition is aggravated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are necessary. Chiropractic procedures can also help. You should contact a neurologist to discuss the treatment.

I took the pregnancy test, the cheapest one and the result is weird because instead of a pink or red line, it shows a white line. And also I have a UTI. Is it possible that I am pregnant? And pregnancy test kit could not detect it? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You are right. Urine pregnancy test and transvaginal scan are unable to detect very early pregnancy. So, for that, we can use a blood pregnancy test (serum beta hCG). It is clearly detecting pregnancy status. For urine infection, you can have a urinalysis and urine culture, lots of water and cranberry juice. If infection positive then discuss here or with a local Gynecologist. In case of bleeding with abdominal pain and positive pregnancy test, you need to report to tertiary care hospital\s emergency. So do not delay. Do serum beta hCG (blood pregnancy test) now as urgent and then discuss it with your presenting symptoms. |

However, more information is required to make a diagnosis. Any family history of these symptoms, history of allergies, any joint pains or generalized feeling of malaise.

Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that first it is important to differentiate pulses bituminous form pulses alternate by cardiac auscultation, as there is a lot of confusion between them. It may be a sign of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, or other disorders, like possible effect of beta-blocker use, dyslexia, hypothyroidism, disorders of the cardiac conductance system, etc. I recommend you to don't panic! As long as you are free of any disturbing symptomatology, and do not exert clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure, you don't have to worry too much! Probably we have to do only with some extrasystoles without any clinical significance. Nevertheless, I recommend you to consult your cardiologist for a careful physical examination (including cardiac auscultation), and a comprehensive review of your cardiac condition, to rule out any possible underlying factors.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My bottom tooth has been hurting for the last couple of days. There is some skin in between my tooth that looks like a bumb. I believe my gums are swollen. My ear , neck, jaw, and shoulder all experience pain along with my toothache. My body temperature is 95.7 F | Hi. Thanks for the query. If you have a toothache and the tooth is decayed then the pain is due to nerve exposure causing nerve irritation and pain. The skin like bump between the tooth if it is extending from the gum then it can be a gingival polyp or a gum polyp. But in case if it is appearing to be coming out from the inside of tooth then it can be a pulp polyp. A clinical examination has to be done to rule out what exactly it is. In case if tooth is decayed then first an x-ray has to be done. If tooth is in a condition to be saved then root canal treatment will be done after removing the polyp. It will be followed by antibiotics and painkillers. For now, you can take painkillers to reduce pain. Hope this helps. Regards. |

I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule out cardiac cause for symptoms. Left sided chest pain, left arm numbness, sweating, breathing difficulty etc. are commonly seen with heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure. So better to consult doctor and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). You may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.

My fracture is probably pretty well healed, but now have terrible pain in buttocks and down legs.

I do stretching exercises every morning, but don t know if I m doing the right ones for this condition. I m 88 years old, active, and until this happened I alternated riding my bike (outside) 5 miles a day, and walking 1 1/2 - 2 miles a day. Thanks for you help. | This is tricky without actually being there. Sciatica is classically in buttocks and down legs... the distribution of the sciatic nerve. Can also be just sore muscles from being immobilized such a while. Cannot say in your particular case, but there are a few general principles: don't overdo it--stop when there is pain. Building up supporting muscle structures protects joints and bones and disk stone takes 2 weeks of exercise at every other day to improve and rebuilding muscle mass takes months. I have shower bars, so I can very safely do stretches under the shower. This is good, but it is also very dangerous for falls unless the shower is specially built or if one is doing stretches in the shower in a shower seat (sitting down). Otherwise, stretching is quite tricky without direct advise from a professional physical therapist. Stretching tends to trigger muscle aches and tears. |

Reply Forward | Hallow Dear, Missing a period is the first cardinal symptom of early pregnancy. When you have not missed your period, nausea in the morning may de due to increased acidity or stress of not becoming pregnant. Some antacid will give you relief. The very fact that you had a miscarriage once means that you were pregnant. Thus, you have proved your capacity to be pregnant once. Hence, your eggs must be forming regularly, and your husband should be having good quality semen. The only question is whether you contacted any minor infection during the miscarriage which had resulted in tubal blockage. Please get hysterosalpingography done to find the evidence of tubal patency. If the tubes are blocked, you may require surgical intervention for reopening the tubes. If the tubes are patent, please monitor egg release (ovulation) by ultrasonography from day 9 of the cycle. On and around the day of ovulation, try to have sexual relations maximum times. You can give such fair trial for at least three months. If still it fails to make you pregnant, please report to Infertility specialist for further investigations and treatment. I hope this helps you. |

First be sure that blood in stools has nothing to do with vaccination or flu. Yes it's always an alarming sign though. The foremost possibility in a well doing infant like yours is ingestion of blood from cracks around nursing mothers nipple or bleed from infants nasopharyngeal tract.

Cancer of the esophagus is a condition that causes obstruction to food passage. In your aunty there is probably a malignant mass in the esophageal wall that is causing limitation to the swallowing of solid food. In this condition there are few ways by which she can be helped. After evaluating the malignant stricture, a metallic stent can be put in the esophagus. This works in many people but the risk of subsequent block persists. This will again cause a block to food. The other option is inserting nasogastric tune and this is something they must have done. The food is made in to viscous consistency and then given using a syringe. The third way is operating and introducing a feeding gastrostomy. In this method the food goes directly in to the stomach and there is no requirement to feed by mouth. She can continue taking sips of water. These methods are put in to practice after evaluating patient needs and different cancer treatment institutes follow their own methods to support patient nutrition in cancer of esophagus. Please do not worry. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 2 year old daughter got sick all of a sudden last Tuesday (December 13th) evening and threw up. She went to the sitter Wednesday but she threw up again that morning. She was a running a low grade fever off and on until Sunday (December 18th) so we were giving her ibuprophen. Then Sunday night I noticed her gums were swollen and red and then they started bleeding. I rinsed her mouth with warm salt water. They are really sensative to where she can only eat soft food. I have been putting baby oral gel on them also. What do you think this can be? Im taking her to her dentist today. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding gums could be because of the gum infection. Or it can be because of tooth infection like pulp polyp. It can be because of herpetic gingivostomatitis which is associated with fever and gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get it examined and take topical anesthetic and analgesics. Continue saline gargling. Get your children teeth cleaned once. I hope my answer will help you. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am 59 years old. I was diagnosed with hepatitis C alcoholic cirrhosis, acute pancreatitis and that was almost two years. I am currently taking Levothyroxine 50 mg once daily, Labetalol Hydrochloride 100 mg once daily, Lisinopril 20 mg once daily. I was in the hospital at first to stabilize my condition. My hepatitis C cleared but still of course I cannot change the damage to my liver.I was told I would only be given five to ten years if I would quit drinking. I kind of fell off the wagon about six months ago, about three liters a day. I weigh about 120 kg. I went to my family physician, he ordered a liver profile and complete blood work. I am going to get it done tomorrow, but the only concern I have is this day I have been having not much but had some black stools. Does this mean that my liver is failing? I tried calling my specialist but they had already left their office. Should I go to the ER or just wait till I call my specialists? I quit drinking about a week ago. Can you help me with some advice? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Black stools are indicative of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Melena or black stools can also turn into a medical emergency if a lot of blood is lost and hence my sincere advice to you would be to go see a doctor as soon as possible. This does not signify liver failure. However, with a history of ChatDoctor. But melena does not mean that your liver is failing. I will advise you on the following until you get to the doctor. Take Omeprazole 20 mg one tablet immediately, followed by one tablet every morning in the empty stomach. Sucralfate syrup two teaspoons immediately, followed by two teaspoons after every meal. This will help in coating the ulcer lining and help in healing. I hope this helps. |

And now have pain in my right kidney back area where pain was originally. Whats going on. I have had a stent 2 times before and never felt this way after removing it. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Pain after stent removal can be due to recurrence of stones, stricture in the ureter or inflammation. As you have fever and pain, it might be due to mild infection. I would suggest that you get an ultrasound done to check the possibilities. In case of stricture immediate action needs to be taken to prevent scarring.

I ve had alot of mental and physical prob- lems over the years, but I guess that s expected. I m just curious if any findings have been found over the years of what exactly causes it, and if doctors are any closer to curing it yet. | Guillain Barre Syn Chat Doctor. The immune system identifies the protein of these bacteria as foreign and correctly targets it for destruction. However, it just so happens that the protein contained in the coverings of nerves (myelin) which control skeletal muscles is very similar to this foreign protein of the bacteria. The immune system then, MISTAKENLY begins attacking the myelin sheaths because of this error in recognizing the body as itself vs. a foreign invader. That is how GBS is initiated. There have been other advances in treatment since 1972, most notably the introduction and use of something known as IVG. This makes treatment much easier compared to plasmapheresis which is what you may have gotten in 1972, although it is not known to be a significantly BETTER treatment. Nor is it cheaper. If anything it is probably more expensive. Glad you're better and recovered. Just avoid that C.jejune critter if you can! All the best! |

Rahman | Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. Your renal stones of size 12 mm are large enough making them unable to pass through ureters in urine. You should consult a surgeon for proper treatment for stone removal. For kidney stones that do not pass on their own, a procedure called lithography is often used. In this procedure, shock waves are used to break up a large stone into smaller pieces that can then pass through the urinary system. Surgical techniques can also be used for stone removal.

Save me this type of bad work. I never watch bad film it is true. | Hi. . I understand your worry. First and very important thing to know is that masturbation is normal and healthy way for people to explore their own bodies and to find out what feels good, where and how they like to be touched and how to have an orgasm. Even though it is normal, some people feel ashamed or embarrassed about masturbation. This is partly because it has been wrongly labelled as deviant, harmful or sinful over the years, and many of these out-dated myths still exist. The frequency of masturbation varies in different individuals, for some people it may happen 2-3 times a day and for some 4-5 times a week. I will tell u some simple methods to come out of this habit. Remove anything that tempts your urge to masturbate like access to pornograpChatDoctoraterial. Avoid being lonely and keep your self busy in some useful activities like sports, swimming, going out with friends etc. Find a new hobby, or cultivate a skill. Learning something that takes a while to master can refocus your brain on the delayed gratification of achieving goals instead of the instant gratification of masturbation. Even after doing all these things if u can't come out of habit, and it is bothering u, it is better to consult a doctor. All the best. Regards |

I was on Lyrica (for a different problem) but h this did not help my feet either.....What would you suggest and have you ever heard of a natural cream called Emuaid that is purported to cure paraesthesia symptoms...Thanks Janet | Parasthesias CAN BE DUE TO SEVERAL CAUSES OTHER THAN DIABETES-PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY DUE TO THIAMINE DEFICIENCY, VITAMIN B12 AND FOLATE DEFICIENCY, CALCIUM DEFICIENCY, HYPOTHYROIDISM, AND SO ON. SOMETIMES IT CAN EVEN BE DUE TO CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDERS LIKE SHE, PSS.KINDLY GET CV(NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY) STUDIES DONE TO PINPOINT THE DIAGNOSIS. GET A COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT(CBC) DONE ALONG WITH PERIPHERAL BLOOD SMEAR. ALSO, T3, T4, TSH WILL BE WORTHWHILE. IF CV IS WITHIN NORMAL AND THE OTHER TESTS DO NOT SHOW ANY ABNORMALITY, WE CAN LOOK FOR PSYCHOGENIC CAUSES LIKE UNDERLYING DEPRESSION OR STRESS. U MAY EVEN BE HAVING SOMATOFORM DISORDER IN WHICH UNEXPLAINED PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS OCCUR WITHOUT ANY UNDERLYING ORGANIC BASIS/ CAUSE. IN THAT CASE U CAN TRY TAB AMITRIPTYLINE 10 MG SLOWLY INC TO 25 MG AT NIGHT. Chat Doctor. |

I can understand your concern. Yes, increased body water can cause Chat Doctor. Actually increased body water causes Pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs). Pulmonary edema is common in heart failure. Since your mother had angioplasty, diabetes, possibility of heart failure is more. So better to get done 2d echo to rule out heart failure. Best treatment of heart failure is restriction of oral fluids (less than 1 liter) and diuretic |

The typhoid fever should be confirmed by blood investigations and blood culture. As you have tested your sons blood for the tidal test the values of S Ty phi O antigen and S Ty phi H antigen are in normal limits along with the titles of S Paratyphoid. The report suggest that the titles are in normal limits, but it should confirm only by the blood culture. As per the reports he is not having typhoid fever. Thank you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hiAt very random points I get a very sharp pain in the back of my head behind my left ear. This just started a couple months ago. It doesnt happen very often but when it does happen its in the same exact spot every time, and doesnt last long at all, but is very sharp. like its there and then it gone. I havent had any head trauma recently so i was wondering what it could be. | Hello, You may have a stress reaction with your jaw such as clenching your teeth. This pressure can cause a radiating pain. Damage to teeth, muscles and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) can occur. The condition is known as bruise. There can be many reasons for bruise like stress, misalignment of teeth or problem in TMJ itself. The pain related to TMJ radiate to the entire face and even to head and behind ear. A night or causal guard can help reduce grinding habits. Consider scheduling a visit with your dentist for evaluation. A thorough dental exam with X-rays is recommended. Doctor may also do physical examination by checking movement of TMJ and may also order CT scan of TMJ. Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant. For now take ibuprofen for pain. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, Im Sean Marsh and I have been exorcising constantly since the beginning of this month and have started getting these short delays in my heart with a sudden thud. Is there any cure for this problem? I hear that it is caused from stress. I went for a seven mile walk the other day and it started happening. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. It is normal to have some ectopic beats and tachycardia during physical activity and anxiety. But a cardiac arrhythmia can not be ruled out, based only on your symptomatology. I recommend consulting with the GP for a physical examination, a resting ECG and some tests like: a routine blood test, thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests, blood sugar and blood electrolytes, to exclude other causes of cardiac arrhythmia. An ambulatory 24-hour ECG monitoring may be necessary to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | The other day I landed on my feet and twisted my knee (I m a cheerleader) and it s felt stepperated and just wrong ever sense, I tumbled on it again tonight and when I got home I stepped on that leg and felt a snaping feeling in my knee and it made like a popping noise, iv never had a single body part swell before and it s got slight bruising oh and the pain radiates down my shin and back of my leg to my ankle | Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As the pain is radiating in nature, a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. This kind of pain occurs due to pinch of the nerve root in the lumbar spine and radiates down the leg depending upon the dermatome and motor regions. Also, with simple physical therapy, you should get maximum benefits. As per the research, majority of cases recover with physical therapy and have a better functional ability.

Thanks for your query. Your symptoms could be anxiety-related. Anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms, but with physical symptoms also. If you are having recurrent such symptoms or having difficulty managing your stress, then I would advise you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, Im a 39 yo women from Malaysia. My height is 169cm & weigh 78kgs. Recently I was diagnose with low HB count at only 5.5. I was told to undergo blood transfusion immediately. After given 3pints of blood, basically Im ok now with lesser heart palpitation. What shall I do to maintain the HB besides taking iron tablets as prescribed by the doctor. Second question is, Im also planning to get a 2nd baby and recently my gynae prescribed me some fertility pills. How will the blood transfusion affect the baby if Im conceive within these period, which may be like in 1-2weeks time. | Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Taking iron tablet is the heart of all anemia treatment. You can eat high iron diet, like wheat, days, etc. Regular exercise in early morning also helps to improve the hemoglobin. You should not plan for second baby until you get your hemoglobin level near normal. Blood transfusion adds more of antibodies in your system. Antibody increases chance of Rho antigen incompatibility. Glad to answer your further concern contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctor |

Sometimes we can have false positive results among hypertensive patients, which means, that we can notice changes indicating heart vessel problems during the exercise test, when there is no disease, actually.

I take Montek-LC tablets, is it good for me | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having symptoms of allergy for last several years which is making you uncomfortable because of the allergy. I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) in blood to confirm the presence of allergic reaction. Then you have to test for the most prevalent allergens like food, dust,pollen and mite, which helps to know the allergen which is causing all these symptoms. You can take Tab Monte LC, which is an excellent Chat Doctor. After identifying the allergen causing these symptoms you can take immunotherapy, either subcutaneous immunotherapy (SUIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). This will help to control the symptoms of the allergy. Thank you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | patient is suffering from angiodysplesia(obscure G.I.bleeding) for 8yrs. she has low haemoglobin level at around 7.5-8%. has to be transfused blood every 4-5 mths. she has been diagnosed with ischemic heart...chest pain, breathlessness in performing daily chores and especially climbing bed. pls advice | Thank you and pleased to answer you. The term intestinal angiodysplasia has been defined as a superficial acquired single or multiple acquired vascular lesion developed in the mucosa and / or submucosal of the gut wall without being associated with a cutaneous or visceral animators lesion. The etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the formation of angiodysplasia are not yet fully understood. A hypothesis developed by Bola is the appearance with age of a chronic partial obstruction of the submucosal veins in connection with an increase in contractions of the muscular layer of the colon wall. Investigations leading to the diagnosis of angiodysplasias are closely related to the clinical presentation and severity of digestive bleeding. The development of endoscopy techniques and the quality of video endoscopes used, particularly in terms of image resolution, make endoscopy the first pathway for the diagnosis of angiodysplasias. Treatment is indicated when there is external bleeding or when the bleeding is occult, after eliminating any other cause of bleeding. Asymptomatic I mean non-haemorrhagic, angiodysplasias of incidental discovery should not be treated. The principle of argon plasma coagulation treatment is based on the simultaneous release of an electric current and a gas, argon, which in its ionized form will destroy, in a targeted way and without contact (3 to 5 mm Of distance), the superficial mucosa (0.5 to 3 mm deep), destruction done with an electric arc. It is the reference technique for the destruction of angiodysplasias, whatever the location. Electrocoagulation treatment, or coagulation of angiodysplasias with hot forceps, was performed in the 1980s but is no longer recommended because of the high risk of perforation. The patient also has anemia following recurrent bleeding, and therefore what explains the symptoms. However, treatment is not only based on transfusions, but also on argon plasma coagulation to stop hemorrhage. A recent retrospective study showed a significant reduction in transfusion requirements in all patients treated with argon plasma coagulation. However, hemorrhagic recurrence occurred in 42% of patients after an average follow-up of 4.5 years. In this patient, the anti-aggregation treatment for ischemic heart disease should not be interrupted because of the risk of harming her life expectancy. The heart procedure indications which formally require further anticoagulant treatment may lead discussions with the patient, the surgeon and the cardiologist about the indication of a segmental intestinal surgery. May this information help you Best wishes |
