ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m pregnant and am having more then constipation problems. A part of the inside of my anal wall is protruding outside my anus. It s been like this for about a month, and I ve begun to bleed more then I think I should. Should I be worried and go seek medical help now, or wait it out. I only have a month left before my baby is suppose to be born. | HI, Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. You seem to have extreme constipation resulting in prolapse of rectum... where lower part of rectal mucosa bulges out due to excessive straining. It may get infected, swollen, start bleeding. You need to consult an anorectal surgeon earliest & get the thing treated. It's important to get it corrected before your delivery... for it may get worse during childbirth straining. Permanent cure may need surgery, can be performed after childbirth. Thanks. |

Please understand these type of negative sexual thoughts can only ruin your mental health. Let me assure you, big penis has nothing to do with increased sexual pleasure or female satisfaction. Those can happen only in porn movies. Even a 2-inch-long erect penis can satisfy a woman. Larger penis cannot give more pleasure because, female vagina has pleasure nerve endings within the first two inches. Please don't over burden yourself with anxious thoughts about sexual maturity and concentrate on your education and career.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am taking the pill as of now. I have been taking it for maybe 5 months now. I have just finished the placebo pill week and didn t get my birth control untill today, a monday. I have skipped sunday. Should I wait a week to start the new pack or take sunday and monday right now? | Hi, Thanks for the query. Taking one day gap between pill packs may not lead to major difference in hormonal effect. As you are taking the pills for 5 months, hormones might have been in lower levels. So, one day delay in starting the pack may not lead to major fluctuations. You can start the today. And after using for three weeks, one week is gap as you know. After one week you can start new pack. If you use the contraceptive pills as per the guidelines, the protection rate will be high.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I lifted something very heavy around 100 to 150 pounds into a dumpster about 4 foot tall and immediately I felt a sharp burning pain in my abdomen. No I am having pain in the right side of my abdomen that is moderate, did I do something or just strained. | Hi. Thanks for your query. As the history is positive for lifting-which has started the pain- it is definitely straining of the muscles as the major cause. Lifting heavy weights is not known to give internal injury. So take anti-inflammatory medicines - take rest-This should settle the problem. Consult a Surgeon of the pain persists, or you start getting associated symptoms like vomiting, abdominal wall swelling. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was on medical exams and they found out on my chest xray they diagnose as left calcific densityleft .but in my previous medical from different clinic my chest xraydiagnose as bone island 6th rib. now I am waiting for my repeat xray because of what they seen in my latest xray. which one should I follow | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest x-ray is taken in posteroanterior view. In this view ribs are overlying lungs. So sometimes it is very difficult to say whether calcification is on the ribs or on the lungs. This is the limitation of chest x-ray. To remove this confusion, it is better to get done CT scan of thorax. CT scan will confirm where the calcification is. So in my opinion, instead of going for another chest x-ray, you should go for CT scan. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hello dr.i am married 2 years back and i have not conceived.all my tests are normal but recently i got a polyp which i came to know about in my follicular study this month.as far as this study is concerned m i had 2 mature follicles each on my 2 ovaries but they didnt ruptre rather they turned into cysts .i got periods few days back & these cysts ve reduced in size. my dr has put me on ovgral g for 20 days.but i came 2 know that its a contraceptive. i am taking it as per the advise of my dr bt i want 2 conceive .vt should i do | Hi, I think your doctor has put you on oral g to resolve the cysts. So, don't worry about it. Regarding the polyp, it needs to be removed if it is intrauterine. If it is a cervical polyp and not interfering with the internal OS, it can be left as such. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. You can track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards |

But it should be taken under the advice of the gynecologist for infertility due to hormonal imbalance and ovarian dysfunction. I would suggest consulting the gynecologist and undergo USG scan, reproductive hormone analysis, ovarian follicle study to rule out the problem first. Tablet ferry should be taken for first 4-5 days of the period to induce the ovulation.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am going to have the muscles shortened in both eyes and then my eyelids lifted. They say I will be asleep when these muscles are shortened and then they will wake me up so I can talk and move my eyes. Will they put a tube down my throat? I am so scared about having this done as I panic when a lot of people get around me. I was in a serious car several years ago and it took for the medical personnel an hour to get me out. | Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctor. As far as anesthesia is concerned in your case, the eyelid surgery may be done under general anesthesia which does require securing your airway safely. Prior to securing the airway, you will be given injectable medications to make you fall asleep so that you do not remember and also you are not aware of the procedure when it is being done. So I would suggest you not to worry. As general anesthesia is a safe procedure when given by an experienced anesthetist. Now let me tell you about either of two tubes that may be used for the procedure are laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal tube. LMA has advantages over endotracheal tube of less postoperative sore throat and lesser intraoperative rise in blood pressure and heart rate. This insertion and removal of airway tubes are safely done while you are unconscious so you are not aware of the procedure. So please do not worry. General anesthesia is given meticulously nowadays and patient safety is a primary concern. |

Other possibilities like meniscal injury or cruciate ligament injury etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Yes you may get it done MRI of knee joint in case of pain not subsided with medication. Use cold compression and apply diclofenac gel locally. Give rest for two weeks.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | .hi my name is yani, i recently found a red circular patch on my tongue in the middle towards the back, it dosent hurt, and its more red than my real tongue, what could this be, im worried | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The red circular patch in the middle of the tongue can be because of the median rhomboid glossies, usually occurs secondary to fungal infection like candidiasis, or stress or nutritional deficiency or secondary to immunodeficiency like diabetes. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a fungal infection, it can be treated with topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole mouth paint(candid mouth paint). Get your complete blood investigations to rule out other immunodeficiency conditions. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. First I would like to know more details about you - a. What is your age? b. Since when you have allergies? c. Do you have symptoms of nose allergies or asthma? Since when? How often? d. How often you experience skin allergy symptoms? Any particular season when they worsen? Any particular food that aggravates them? What is your PFT report? It is best to interpret your allergy report only after knowing your symptoms in detail. Only allergy testing report does not help to make effective suggestions to patients.2. At present, I would suggest you not to worry about allergy reports. In fact, in my opinion, the figures are not really that "big" as you think. At present, I would only consider house dust mite and Parthenon (pollen of congress grass) important substances that may be causing allergies to you. 3. As you develop itchy red spots after workout or outdoor games, I would first think of "cholinergic urticaria". They usually occur after exercise, or they are related to sweating. I would suggest you simple antihistamine Chat Doctor. 4. In general, I usually suggest my such patients' avoidance of excessive sweating, avoidance of wearing tight-fitting or woolen clothes and avoiding too hot or spicy foods.5. Appropriate avoidance measures for allergy causing substances can only be suggested after knowing your symptoms in detail. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead, and please do not worry. Thank you & |

There are several reasons like implantation bleeding, local blunt injury during sex, hormonal imbalance, mental stress/ tension, thyroid disturbance, uterine pathology (like polyp), cervical reason etc. These may hamper regular ovulation time and leads to conceiving problem.

A few months later, my cap was replaced with zirconia supreme because of throbbing below the cap. My dentist advised that because of metal there may be a possibility of some allergic reaction. So, I should replace the cap. Now just two weeks back, I replaced but now I have a bulge in the jaw with pain. | Hello. Zirconia, no doubt, it is the best in all caps. But, there is no reason to replace a metal cap. Your jaw pain is may be due to forceful removal of cap and trimming of teeth, etc. Visit the dentist for genuine advice. Not all metal crowns create allergies. It is once in a blue moon thing. Do not worry, you will be fine but at least use your cap for at least five years. If you have a zirconia cap, then it will work for at least 5 to 10 years if you take care of it properly. Take care. |

In my opinion you may have a kind of cervical radiating pain accompanied by a muscular strain. In some cases pain subside simultaneously even without medications just by relaxing your shoulders. For my patients I may suggest painkillers like Advil tabs when needed, hot massages with topical gels, B12 vitamin supplements, muscle relaxants, in severe cases steroid tabs or injection may be prescribed if needed. You try to avoid heavy lifting, vigorous movements, bad sleeping or sitting postures, avoid bending your back for a long time sometimes an arm sling is helpful. If your pain persists I recommend MRI on cervical spine to rule out any kind of spinal injuries like discs or herniation and follow it up with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management to prevent further complications.

Amitriptyline is an antidepressant medication which really does not have any effect on your hormones or ability to conceive.However, this medication is known to have an increased risk associated with birth defects, and for this reason, is not recommend to be taken during pregnancy. So it is unlikely that your fertility issues that you have at this point are caused by either of the medications that you take for depression. I recommend if you have not yet done so that you consult with an OB/GUN physician or fertility specialist for evaluation. Even if you or and your partner have both had child Chat Doctor. A preliminary hormonal evaluation of you and a test of your husband sperm should be performed at this point. You also should consider discussing your impending pregnancy with your psychiatrist and possibly trying to switch to a medication that can be used more safely during pregnancy. So in summary, I do not believe that your psychiatric medications are actually the cause of your fertility problem, however it would be a good idea to have a plan to switch off these medications as once you conceive they can put the baby at risk for birth defects. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was helpful. Best wishes, |

I am currently in wound care to treat a large ulcer and osteomyelitis on my remaining big toe--treatment includes hyperbaric and IV meds thru a picc line. I also see a pain management specialist. He prescribes me Lyrica, Morphine ER 60mg 1-2 every 12 hrs., and Oxycodone 15mg for breakthrough pain. I am thinking about relocating to Rhode Island due to family issues and because I d be living with a nurse with 20 years experience who could help me manage my condition. However, I am fully aware that this country (perhaps with some reason) has developed a paranoia about prescribing pain meds and we ve let the government take over what SHOULD be a doctor s job. I am very anxious about making this move, because you can t just call doctor s in another state and say: Hi, I need Morphine and Oxycodone.

Kindly tell me how i can stop this earlier & stop the strength of my sexual ability as well as gain weight.reply soon... | Dear user, Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns about nightfall.Don't feel depressed for that because it is not a disease and does not indicate ill health. It does not cause weakness or reduction in sexual ability or potency in future sex life with partner. It can occur at any age, common in those who are less sexually active (Not engaged in masturbation or sexual intercourse with partner)Semen is produced by genital organs continuously; it has to be expelled by some means. This situation is just akin to a glass of full water to which you add more water, with the logical result that it overflows! This happens to semen too. If one neither has sex nor masturbation for long time, semen gets expelled in the form of nightfall. You may simply use sanitary pad temporarily. Night emission will gradually disappear when you become sexually active. You can gain weight by high calorie diet. Night emission has nothing to do with your weight. All d best. Good health. |

She also has mild pyroluria ( we give her B6, actually multi B and zinc etc, with other vitamins to correct this) but it is a disorder (?) that becomes worse when her hormones become more problematic when she is pre-menstral and during her period and her repetition, perseveration, lack of focus (on anything) is really difficult for her, but especially for us who have to deal with her. The odd thing is that when she is out or when other people are around, she is perfectly behaved and the tension that is building up in her (at these menstral time) comes out in an excessive stream of the same, same, same conversation which tends to drive everyone mad around her.

The abnormal sensations that you have such as numbness, tingling are termed peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nervous system [most commonly seen in diabetic patients].

An Ultrasound scan of Abdomen & upper GI endoscopy will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello. I m a 26 year old female who is, overall, in very good health. I had a root canal done on tooth number 29 about ten years ago after an injury to the tooth. All seemed well until I noticed a swelling under this tooth a few weeks ago that hurt when pressed. I immediately called the dentist and was seen the next day. The dentist did an X-ray and I was told I had an abscess . She prescribed me 150mg Clindamycin over ten days for the infection and referred me to an endodontist. The endodontist retreated the root canal a couple weeks later and seemed happy with his work. A few hours after the retreated root canal tooth became horribly painful and I noticed some swelling. That night, swelling continued to intensify and spread to my cheek, but pain subsisted. I called my endodontist and he said that this was a flare-up of my old infection and I needed a called a 24-hour pharmacy to get me a prescription amoxicillin (500mg). The next day I went to the endodontist office and they had to make an incision to reduce some of the swelling and allow the abscess to drain. I was also given a prescription for metronidazole (500mg) to take in addition to the amoxicillin. Thankfully the swelling in my cheek subsisted gradually and now a week later my face looks normal, however I still have a fair amount of swelling and tenderness in my gum under the retreated root canal and my jaw hurts a little. Every time I call the endodontist the receptionist tells me to call back in a few days because the swelling should be gone and every few days when I call the swelling remains the same and yet I am told to call back again in a few days...very frustrating and worrisome. My questions are as follows, how long should it realistically take for the swelling and tenderness in my gum under my tooth to go away? Is there any chance of this infection spreading to my cheek again as I am now finished with my antibiotics? Should the tooth be treated again or possibly extracted? When they open the area again to permanently seal the root canal or do any other work is there a possibility of the infection spreading again? Thanks! | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, Since you got the reject for a traumatically injured tooth, chance of root fracture/spread of infection into adjacent tissue spaces has to be ruled out. Usually the pain and swelling after access opening and pulp extirpation lasts for 2 weeks. As the pain remains, in your case the tooth has to be checked for any fracture or infected pulp remaining within the pulp canal. If required, adjacent teeth also has to be root canal treated. If the symptoms persists, get it extracted. Hope this helps. |

No need to worry much if your chest x-ray is normal. You are having blunt chest trauma and this can cause rib fractures, pneumothorax, lung confusions etc. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out all these.

I had a ct on mid back. Ct showed Large anterior osteophyte. What are some of the issues associated with a large anterior osteophyte at the t8? | Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to spondylosis as you has large anterior osteophytes. Large anterior osteophyte is not of much significance except it shows that you have spondylosis(degenerative spine disease).MRI of spine rule out other causes of backache. Back exercises, Diapering, glucosamine sulfate neurotrophic such as methycobalamin and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Increased stress hormone levels at the level of spine and probably brain, block or take attention away from pain. So, everything is the same, but the feelings are damped down. It doesn't actually lower pain and generally, it is not enough by itself. This is more likely to work well the more the pain is due to nerves and spine nerve or spinal pain and less if it is due to a non-nervous tissue cause. So, a lumbar disk hitting nerves or spine will lower pain some witChatDoctorbalta, but there is enough direct trauma that it won't work completely.

If you have taken Unwanted 72 (Levonorgestrel) within 48 to 72 hours of unprotected sex, with a proper dosage without vomiting, then you can have bleeding within one to two weeks. If these requirements are fulfilled, then there is no need to worry, and you can wait for bleeding. If you do not observe bleeding even after three weeks, then it is better to have hormonal induction after doing a pregnancy test (beta hCG).

He has been complaining of a burning sensation in his head - across the front forehead mostly. Is that a concern? | Hello! I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Headache is the most common symptom of high blood pressure. If his blood pressure is high (over 14/90 mmHg) in the most of the days than this is the cause of his complaints. It is very important to keep blood pressure under control (near normal range values 130/90 mmHg). An uncontrolled blood pressure can cause serious complication such as stroke, kidney damage and heart disease. If this treatment doesn't keep the BP near normal range you should consult again his treating doctor, so he can change his therapy or add another Chat Doctor.

I have lots of cysts in my left breast, is it that causing the pain. | Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Your pain is unlikely to be due to heart pain, because you mentioned that you play tennis regularly! Heart pain is aggravated by exertion and relived by rest, since your pain bears no relation to exertion it is less likely due to heart. Yes it can be cysts in breasts which might cause pain for which you may take simple analgesics along with it.My best wishes Chat Doctor. |

You have had your gallbladder removed and that should not give you problems. If you had a retained stone in the bile duct, the channel that carries the bile to the intestine it can cause blockage. This would result in abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and yellow jaundice along with abnormal liver tests. In the absence of these symptoms, abnormal findings in the liver could certainly be due to Eldest Solo. This is Estradiol (Estrogen)and they are associated with some conditions.

I had Lipo sarcoma . I have 1 kidney, they removed my spleen , part of my stomach colon, and pancreas. What s wrong with me. Thank you Ada Diaz | Hello, The most common causes of numbness and tingling in feet is due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy, hypothyroidism,lack of IT B 12,lack of calcium etc. You must get yourself investigated for the above-mentioned causes. The treatment would depend upon finding the cause and treating it, along with injections of IT B 12 for few days. Since part of stomach and colon has been removed, then most likely the cause is deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. Thanks |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am a 27-year-old female. I have been on Depo-Provera for six years. I am not taking any other medications. Lately, I have been experiencing severe mood swings and have not been myself. One minute I am dancing around the room and could not be happier, the next I am either crying or very angry. Normally, I do not cry and I am usually pretty laid back. I have also been getting dizzy mostly when I stand up or walk up the stairs. I have trouble sleeping and or sleeping too much. I am hungry all the time, however, when I do eat I feel nausea. I have done some research and have found that these symptoms are both common with the injection and also with pregnancy. How do I tell, if these are pregnancy symptoms or if it is because of the Depo shot? I did miss my last shot three months ago. Last month I took a home pregnancy test it came back negative. Will a home test be enough to tell if I am pregnant or not? | Hi. The home pregnancy test is fairly sensitive and very unlikely to miss pregnancy (except in very early pregnancy). If you suspect pregnancy strongly, you can repeat a home pregnancy test again after a week if period does not start. Most of your symptoms can be either due to indigestion or hormonal imbalance (hypothyroidism or estrogen deficiency). You can take antacids Pantoprazole for three to four days and see if symptoms resolve. If your symptoms do not resolve and pregnancy test comes negative, you can do TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test to rule out hypothyroidism. As you have taken depot for a long time, estrogen deficiency is likely, which can cause all of your symptoms. If possible shift to oral pills for contraception for a few months to avoid the same. I hope this helps. |

The possibility of ulcer is low when someone has such abdominal pain intermittently. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with abdominal pain I would ask them these details to zero-in on my opinion:When did the pain start? How is it progressing since then? Where exactly over the abdomen is the pain? Do you have nausea or vomiting associated with it? Did you lose appetite and weight recently? If yes how much and in what time? I would like these details from you to help you further. Meanwhile you can consult your doctor for endoscopy and anti acidity medicines like tablet pantoprazole and antacids.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a small hard (almost bony) bump on my lower gum just above the floor of my mouth. Not sure how long it has been there as I noticed it with my tongue the other day. Its very difficult to see due to its location and size but I believe its pinkish/white, not movable. Does this sound like a tori? I am seeing a dentist next week but I am concerned. I quit drinking 15 years ago but I use snus on occasion, a few times a month. This is not the area where I put my snus | Thanks for using Chat Doctor . Read your query. Considering the mentioned location and description, I would have suspected it as a Tori, which would not usually require any treatment, if I was your consulting doctor. Mandibular Tori are small bony growths that are present on the lingual aspect of the mandible. Removal of the Tori is usually recommended if they are interfering with tongue positioning, speech, denture placement, as well as with poor oral hygiene around the lower posterior teeth. Relax and have it checked with your dentist and have it excised if needed. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Doctor I had a bad fall on concrete about two weeks ago and landed mainly on my lef hand and wrist along with my right knee. My knee felt very sore immediately and was grazed and bruised. Its still bruised now and has started to get a swollen hard lump on the knee cap. It is very painful to touch and feels strange like full of liquid likeability balloon when I touch it as well as the lump. Do you know what this is? | Hello, What I understand with the history is there was a direct impact over the knee. So the first thing I will ask what did you try the RICE protocol? Also, did you take any painkillers or anything? Is your knee able to bend or It's painful to bend? I will advise you to first take up an x-ray because there might be a possibility of hairline fracture at the site because of direct impact. Next, the fluid accumulation may be due to injury so having it get with an orthopedist will be of good decision to take as physical examination stays at the first priority. For the wrist there might be either a tendon injury or might be related to the bone if the swelling is persisting. An x-ray in a safer side is always a good choice. Hope you take this matter to meet up an orthopedist as without having a physical hand in your case it is difficult to bluntly give a diagnosis which can make you panic which I do not want to. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

If I were your doctor, I would go for a clinical examination of yours, followed by an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any twisting/sudden enlargement etc., of an ovarian cyst, apart from few other pathologies relating to intestines, appendix and the urological organs.

I can understand your concern. You are having cough with chest pain (pleurisy). And you are not improving rather worsening with routine Chat Doctor. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
