I get severe pain when i get up and start walking and there are some hard knots in and around the calf muscles and ankles. Please advice. Warm regards, Nandita | Hello, I would suggest you visit a doctor to get examined for the symptoms of pain and hard knots is suggestive of varicose veins. It is not uncommon in women, and particularly who are in professions like teaching which requires standing for a long period of time.

After a documented diagnosis is made treatment can be planned depending on severity. The treatment options include the use of compression stockings, chemotherapy or various surgical procedures.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Monday I was diagnosed with Strep throat. Given an antibiotic. My symptoms have worsened. The uvula is swollen, white spots, laying on the back of my tongue and is raw.

I am miserable, difficulty swallowing food as well as saliva. Warm salt water just sets my mouth on fire. Any suggestions? | Hi, Thanks for asking.

I can understand your concern. Teenagers are more prone for stress and anxiety. And you're all symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety and panic disorder. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac diseases. If both these are normal then no need to worry much. Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I just had a total Da Vinci hysterectomy on 4/10/14 because of endometrial cancer, stage 1b, grade 2. They took 59 lymph nodes and they were negative. The Doctor is recommending radiation to the upper area of the vagina only as a precaution to lower the risk from 15% to 1% of the cancer coming back in the vagina. My cervix wasn t affected. I would prefer not to get radiation unless a pap smear shows there are cell changes or cancer in that area. Would you suggest that it would be a good idea to avoid radiation for right now. I would like to avoid radation side effects and the radiation effects on lymphedema. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should take radiotherapy (radiation) in upper part of vagina. The reason is to decrease the local site recurrence. In hysterectomy surgery, due to tumor handling chances of tumor spillage are high in lower part of peritoneal cavity. So due to these chances of local recurrence are high. So to prevent this radiation is needed. Nowadays brachytherapy is newer option of radiation. In this small pallets of radioactive material are locally inserted at desired site. It will release radiation to the specific site. So by this technique side effects are reduced. So discuss this with your oncologist. |

This type of immobility is generally caused in bells palsy. But as you are mentioning that it is since childhood, then the possibility is less. To see the condition of the nerve of the lower lip a full mouth x-ray should be done which will show the problem. Better once you should visit an oral medicine specialist as he will help you.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I was not conceiving after i had a missed abortion on August 2010. Now the fertility specialist have recommended me to undergo a laproscopy and DYE test together. I m pretty confused if this will lead to any problems in the future like tube blocks. Further I would like to know if the period or the ovulation be early or delay after laproscopy ?Kindly help. Thank you. | Hello Nasreen. Thanks for the query. Laparoscopy with dye test is done for definitive diagnosis of patency of Fallopian tube. Dye test removes any debris like small mucus plug. Dye contains iodine which further increases the ciliary movements of the Fallopian tube and thus improves your chance of pregnancy. So I recommend you to go for laparoscopic dye test. Your ovulation or periods will not change because of laparoscopy. Regards and good luck. Chat Doctor. |

I discovered two spots on my tongue ( on opposite sides but symetrical ) that are hard in the inside almost like lumps but inside the tongue not on the outter area . I think I remeber biting it but Im not sure | Hello, I have read you inquiry. Biting your tongue could cause a reaction that you describe. Warm salt water rinses, avoiding spicy and acidic foods, anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Motrin and continued daily home dental care will assist healing. Keep well HY Chat Doctor. Avoid irritants such as smoking and alcohol. You can apply a endocrine numbing gel if sensitive. You can have a remaining solid feeling for a longer period with no concern if you bit the tongue rather hard. It takes time for inflammation to resolve. Observe the area. Look for ulceration and monitor appearance. If your condition worsens or causes an increase in pain, swelling or function, see your dentist for an evaluation. Monitor tongue for any other changes such as size, color, and coating. Other considerations:-inflamed papillae -growth, cyst, tumor-allergic reaction-rough, broken teeth or dental appliance-grinding teeth, likely at night-change in or stressful bite-infection: bacterial, fungal, firsthand you for consulting Healthcare Magic.

Everything is pretty clear here. She has subacute or chronic gallbladder inflammation with stones and reinfection. This is common at her age but must be treated; Reinfection by antibiotics and gallbladder should be removed by surgery before some serious complication occur. Some more precise test such as CT scan should be done to evaluate this intestinal swelling. So she might have more than one intra-abdominal infection and I recommend treating it as soon as possible.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi! I have a friend of mine who recently had all of her teeth extracted in February 2010. Since then, she has tried to wear dentures but they have not worked out too well. We are looking at getting implants. However, recently whenever she has her dentures in for a few hours, her mouth hurts for the next 2-3 days. Her gums swell and she experiences thick saliva. The x-rays do not show anything and the dentist cannot find anything wrong either. We dont know where else to go. Do you have any suggestions? | thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain or swelling over the mucosa can be because of the rough surfaces or undercuts in the denture. Consult a good prosthodontist and get it evaluated. If you are not at all happy with the dentures and if it is loose then you can get an implant supported dentures, But the cost of the implants will be more than the normal dentures. For the placement in the oral cavity, you need to have sufficient bone support, Get a CT done to check the density of the bone and if it is fine go ahead with the treatment, I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

I understand your concern.In my opinion, bodys compensatory mechanisms come into play, when the hemoglobin levels are low, and you feel generally only symptoms like palpitations, weakness,headache, shortness of breath etc.However, If anemia(low hemoglobin) left untreated, the compensatory mechanisms start to fail due to exhaustion and any other conditions, which takes years, serious problems like multiorgan failure can occur(for heart failure due to cardiomyopathy).

Pain in lower back and testicle is mostly due to infection of Epididymis (Epididymitis) or Testicle (Orchids).

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had VATS surgery for a lung biopsy done on May 8th. Besides soreness, no problems with the recovery. But one of my incisions is still leaking somewhat and I wonder if I should get checked. It is on my back just below my shoulder blade - so there is more movement thus maybe the delayed closing... There is no pain, redness, swelling or infection. How long should I expect this to continue? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Normal VATS wound heals by 7-10 days postoperatively. If there is SSI (surgical site infection) than there can be delayed healing. And VATS wounds are very prone to infection. So possibility of SSI is high in your case. It is better to check this by doing culture of the fluid and repeat chest x-ray to rule out underlying lung infection or underlying fluid collection. So consult your Doctor and discuss all these. |

After that my back felt better and I had no pressure, which was constant before. Then I started to get this pulsing vibration from the bottom of my right foot up my leg , back chest to my right shoulder. This was in Jan. of last yr., it gets louder when I m tired or startled. Feb. 22 I went to my Doctor, my blood pressure was up, and I was stressed and wired, could not sleep due to this vibrating.. Couldn t take meds. because it gave me side effects. Told doctor let me see if I can calm my self. Finally did. He thought this vibration was my blood pressure. When my blood pressure is at 125/72, I m still vibrating. I had an MRI in Sept. before this happened in Jan. Could it be spinal fluid. It drives you crazy. Sometimes it goes away. If I get startled it rumbles like a train. I hear alot of people complain about this, but no one knows what it is. | Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion your problem is over concern, do not be carried away with your symptoms, spinal fluid will not cause such symptoms, get yourself screened with MRI of back if you have doubts.

I am getting worried because after her op the doctor said she did not require chemo because he had got all the cancer....not sure why she needs chemo then she was grade 3 aggressive type could you please clarify for me the pain she is experiencing | Here if your sister have got malignant cancer then it is possible that it has spread till spinal level or nearby to spinal level which is disturbing the nerves coming from spine or disturbing the soft tissue nearby spine and so that it is paining. However the conformation will be done only with pat scan. Now chemo is usually recommended after removal of any cancer with operation also to kill the remaining cancer cells from the body. It can be chemo or radio therapy based on your doctor diagnosis and treatment planning. Apart from this the neck pain could also be a region of muscle weakness as spinal level. Here I suggest let her go with pat scan of entire body and if there is no sign of spreading of cancer cells till spinal level. Then you can ask her to take physiotherapy treatment and follow spinal exercises. This will help to relax as well strengthen the spinal muscles and soft tissues. This pain also could be related to spinal disc problem at cervical level but for this you can discuss in detail. With or tho and if nonissue at disc level and spinal curve level.

I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, need to worry buddy. You will sure become father. Masturbation is not the bad habit. People have many disconcerts about it. It is in turn very beneficial in some ways. It receives your stress and makes you free to do other work with very good concentration.15 minutes of erection is good enough. You can become father with that. There is no need to take any more action over it. But to increase the duration you can take the sildenafile citrate tablet under your doctors' guidance. People can become father even after the 5 minutes period of erection, so don't worry about that you won't become father. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The pain in your abdomen might not be related to the migraine. If I were your doctor, I would examine you physically to rule out any signs of an appendicitis, and advise for an ultrasound to rule out other conditions (e:g:, urinary stones, or pelvic viscera pains in case of females) in the abdomen. Further management would depend on the clinical findings and investigation reports.

Currently, I have a mild skin eczema. I also had seborrheic dermatitis in my scalp a few years ago. But it is under control with special shampoo treatment. I had one fingernail with a similar problem but it was in a milder condition. I thought it was nail fungal. I used Mometasone furoate 0.1 % cream for my skin eczema. It cleared up when my nails grew. I have an allergy to pollen. | Hi. I have gone through your attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You seem to have a condition known as onycholysis, which is characterized by the separation of the nail from its nail bed.

I can understand your mothers situation and problem. Endometrial thickness of 1.9 cm can be seen in malignancy. But chances of malignancy are less because she is not having a mass lesion or enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. So possibility of post menopausal thickness is more. But better to rule out cancer and hence dilatation and curette (D&C) is advised in her case. If D&C is negative for malignancy than no need to worry about cancer.

The thing is, his tooth doesnt hurt only a little gum discomfort and face hurt from swelling.

Whatever the reason there are high chance that it is an abscess. Ask him to take antibiotics like lifetime 200Β mg and metronidazole 400Β mg. It helps to stop the spread of abscess immediately.

I have recently been to get a repeat prescription of my HRT - Femiston 2/10mg and my pressure check showed as 152/100. This is obviously high, what could have caused it. I have to go back for another check in 3 weeks. | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Hypertension is divided into two groups. Essential hypertension that is a chronic disease and should be treated all live long. It has not an identified cause and is frequent in older agesSecondary hypertension, meaning that it's a secondary house of it. This is found in younger ages and the cause might be renal, endocrine or any cardiovascular anomaly. Resolving the causing factor might resolve hypertension. As you explain, you are under hormone replacement therapy. This makes me thing that you might be near or in menopause. It is quite known in cardiology that hypertension does appear in women during this period. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze and a holder pressure monitoring to evaluate your values during day and niftier this we can better judge how to treat the problem. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I had a brief interaction with a woman who is very likely to have STD, specifically herpes, and I have a few questions about herpes testing. The full story is that about three weeks ago, after a bad breakup, I went to a massage parlor. The parlor was the type that is sort of seedy and known for extras and the masseuse assumed I wanted sex and was immediately ready to go. I sort of talked her down to a handjob and the masseuse took off her clothes, straddled my legs, and did her thing while I lay on my back. For about 10 seconds during the hand-job, her genital area was pressed against my scrotal area, and she also kissed the shaft of my penis twice. There was no intercourse, and I did not see any herpes lesions on her, but I also was not able to look inside her or get more than a few brief looks between her legs before she was on top of me.After the experience, I was very worried about having contracted herpes from the genital contact, so I got some tests done. An IgM plus a full STD screen at three days after the incident, and an IgG and a second IgM at 10 days after the incident. Everything was negative. I have had no symptoms other than a bump on the inside of my thigh, and I have had bumps before in the same spot due to thigh chafing when I walk. I actually had one on the other thigh before the incident. Currently, it is about 22 days after the incident, and I am planning on getting a third IgM done to be extra sure there has been no change. What worries me is that I have read online that the IgM test is unreliable and that 50 % give false negative results. So basically, my questions are, with no symptoms, three negative IgM for HSV 1 and 2, and a negative IgG, is it safe to assume I do not have herpes? Is the IgM completely unreliable or are three negatives taken at different times conclusive? And is it fine to continue with dating and sexual activity given my current circumstances? Or should I abstain from sex completely for another nine weeks and wait till I can take a more accurate IgG? I started a new relationship a couple weeks after the incident, and I do not want to risk infecting her, but I also do not want to ruin the relationship if I do not need to. I also suffer from generalized anxiety disorder. So, any concrete information you have would be helpful. Lately, I have been having especially bad panic attacks and hot flashes. Currently, I am taking Effexor 75 mg. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your case in detail. And after detailed analysis of your contact, it is concluded that you basically are not sure whether the woman actually had any herpes or not. Moreover, all your test results till now are negative. So, in absence of any symptoms of herpes and negative tests both for IgM and IgG, it means you are not having any herpes. So just stay relax. A false negative is said when you have a clinical lesion of herpes and clinician is quite sure of that but your tests turn out to be negative.In addition to this, if herpes had to appear it would have been evident within 10 to 14 days of your contact. As long as you are herpes free, both clinically and pathologically, you are free to go ahead. For more information consult a dermatologist online |

Take antifungals orally and apply antifungal creams or gels like Ketoconazole (Mizoram). It should get well if it is caused by insect bite. But if it is spreads, it could be Seborrhea dermatitis.

Nothing wrong in the stitches pop up spontaneously after 7-8 days after the surgery. If they had used catgut for stitching, it will automatically fall after or within 10 days. If they had used silk or nylon, you would have been instructed to come for hospital for removal of stitches. If you have any raw area or oozing, you better be reviewed by your surgeon once again and ascertain everything is alright. Mostly some external application of antimicrobial will restore normalcy.

HOWEVER, I GAINED 20 LBS WHEN I QUIT SMOKING 11 MOS AGO. MY GI IS DOING AN ENDOSCOPY TOMORROW MORNING - HE SAYS HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO NOT HAVE VERICOSE VEINS IN MY ESOPHAGUS. IS THAT THE NORMAL NEXT STEP TO FINDING OUT WHY MY ENZYMES ARE HIGH? | HI, When there are no signs of portal hypertension like splenomegaly on ultrasound, but i don't know exactly how many enzymes are elevated. But most likely you should not have esophageal varices. But you need to be evaluated for other condition like Wilson disease and other autoimmune condition if liver enzymes are significantly elevated. If they are mildly elevated just avoid oily and fatty food, do regular exercise that will help you in reversing the enzymes. Hope this information helps outrank you |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi my sister woke up with stomach pains and tried to poop but nothing came out. so she went back to bed and an hour later she went back to the bathroom cause she couldnt take the pain anymore and had to try again and when she finally pooped she threw up also. now shes in bed with the same stomach pains and throwing up still. any idea what this could be? | Hi. Thanks for your query. The history of your sister is typical, tried to poop but could not; and when she could, she vomited also and still throwing up. This is possible that she has severe constipation and when she could poop with force the vomiting started as a reflex mechanism or the first vomiting caused the esophagitis allowing her to have more vomiting. Please see the following:Whether there is pain in abdomenSweating, inability to move around due to pain. Or any other problems. If so, please take her to the Hospital or ER and get checked by a Surgeon to rule out any serious matter. |

Read your query. Along with the difficulty in mouth opening what other signs and symptoms you have? Do you have the habit of chewing tobacco and associated products? I would advise you to visit the oral and maxillofacial surgeon at the earliest and have it checked. If the difficulty in mouth opening is due the erupting and impacted third molar, have it removed.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dear Doctor I have two and half year old son and he has been diagonised to have tongue tie. He is able is to speak abt 10 words like amma, daddy, thatha, mam, kaka, bye etc. Rest of communications are in action. I would like to know whether he can pick up his speech by theraphy or needs a surgery. He is already joined school and want him to speak fluently as his mates as soon as possible please suggest. | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your complaint Ankyloglossia or Tongue tie is a condition in which the attachment of the tongue to the floor of mouth is a bit longer due to a longer lingual frenulum [fold of mucosa under the tongue that attaches the tongue to floor of mouth]. When it is long it attaches the tongue and restricts its movement that is needed to speak a certain word. But a good part is that it can be very well improved with treatment, and you can get frenulectomy done in which the excess attachment will be reduced, and the tongue will become free that will help in easing in speech. It is a minor surgical procedure, so you need not worry and should get it done soon so that your son can speak well and at this age it will not require extensive speech therapy if treated. Hope this helps. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a vaginal ultrasound this afternoon. Can you explain the oncologist note: Small amount of complex avascular echoes within the distal half of the cervix. This would be consistent with blood, atypical for polyp although low-grade malignancy not excluded. | Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The following conclusions can be inferred based on ultrasound report you have furnished. The findings state that in the lower half of the cervix, small amount of complex avascular echoes has been noted. This finding does not go in favor of polyp proper and hence low-grade malignancy (cancer) needs to be ruled out. To diagnose what exactly it could be, you need to undergo cervical biopsy and histopathological examination of the specimen, which will depict the nature of the lesion. Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard for further evaluation and appropriate management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. Chat Doctor. S., MBBS., MD. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, Recently I developed this allergy 6 months ago, where my face turns red with hives . This only happens when I eat strawberries, berries, pineapples, zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers or any food similar to it. Also when I use any cosmetics were it contains glitter or when I use lipsticks closer to red tones I develop this hive, but when I use eyeliner, face powder containing no glitter, nothing happens. I only develop this hive the day after I eat or use these cosmetics. First symptoms, my face would turn red and it will feel itchy. Then a few hours later, my face will become swollen around the eye area. I used to be able to eat and use this product with no problem, I don t know what trigger my body to develop this allergy to certain products. Any idea what is going on? Thank you | Hello, The symptoms you describe and the relation to foods does seem consistent with urticaria that can be triggered in some people by foods rich in salicylates. Urticaria is a condition when mast cells in the skin release histamine after simple triggers such as scratching (physical), but also to temperature change (such as hot shower or cold-induced urticaria), stress, infections etc. Foods high in salicylates can also trigger and the foods you mention do fall in that category. Long-acting antihistamines such as Allegra 180Β mg once daily for 3 months should be tried to see the effect. Removing foods high in salicylates as a trial for a maximum period of 4 weeks is recommended, but no longer if there has no obvious effect. If there is evidence of tree or grass pollen allergy, then these can act as secondary triggers. You can visit the patient information website allergy.or.uk for more information on salicylates if you wish. Hope that helps. Best Wishes. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Had blood pressure checked and doctor decided to prescribe lisinopril. This is the first time I ve had to use medication. Im an otherwise healthy 54 year old man. My type of hypertension is borderline as my BP has been normal as recently as one year ago. No other history of chest pains and I had an EKG last year during my annual physical that was normal. Not sure if I want to continue with the drug, took the first dosage last night before bed, I am physically active, working out 3 times plus per week. Do not have any pain or shortness of breath while excercising. Have a good diet. | Greetings. Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thank you for your question. I understand your concern. Lisinopril is a safe and effective Chat Doctor. Normal blood pressure standardized worldwide is: systolic 100-139 mmHg and diastolic 60-89 mmHg. Figures higher than this, found on three consecutive measurements in both arms, in three different times of day, can be considered as hypertension. Although, this means cannot be precise, but a 24-hour blood pressure monitor is. You can discontinue the lisinopril, if you feel like you do not need it, but based on blood pressure figures. If you discontinue it, you should take the upper mentioned measures, to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of hypertension precisely. It is a good thing that you are physically active, but I would suggest you to engage in physical activity for 60 minutes a day, seven days a week, like walking, swimming, biking etc. Also, a diet low on salt. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Take care. Kind regards, |

I went to a dentist consultation yesterday to possible do gum contouring surgery with a laser, and the dentist told me in my case (after examination) that they would have to use traditional scalpel and cut away some bone tissue for my case. she told me if i use traditional laser, the gums will eventually go back to how they used to be. so does that mean i cant do laser because the result wont last? im just afraid of traditional cutting with scalpel..specially if they have to cut some bone tissue | IIN regard to your query, since you are worried about your gummy smile before going for the surgery one must exactly evaluate the both the lip line and gum line because in some cases lip line will be high where gum surgery results in decreasing the biologic width thus leading to compromise in the tooth support esthetically and technically. Coming to your question laser treatment is more convenient to the patient because no blade, less bleeding and less time. If your dentist wants to proceed for gum correction using laser with bone removal then he must have both hard and soft tissue lasers. I assume that he might be having only soft tissue laser, so only he is preferring scalpel method so that he remove the bone by using erector and burs. Hope this has clarified your doubt. |

Am very sorry to hear about your Spine Pain. I hope you are getting all the Anti-Tubercular Medications for the treatment of the infection. That's the most important because you need to avoid further damage to the spinal column and cord. Now, as to the pain. The main thing causing the pain is the collapse of the vertebral body. When it collapses it will begin pressing against the spinal column. The only non-pharmacological treatments that are effective in this case are Physical therapy (postural therapy in particular) and core strengthening exercises. Now remember you must go to e certified therapist to attempt these exercises as you don't want to make a mistake and injure your spinal column even more. So, in effect, your best avenue for pain relief is Physical Therapy. I would call your primary doctor and get a referral for that as soon as you can. Take Care and I hope you are cured of the disease in good time without too much injury. |

THANKYOU very Much | Hi, many thanks for the query! In our body, each kidney is connected to urinary bladder BYA separate narrow tube called "ureter". A stone in kidney has to pass through this narrow ureter to reach bladder & from there through another narrow tube called "urethra", it comes out. Your stone size is 12 mm, but diameter of ureter is smaller enough not to allow this stone pass out. So, some day it will be stuck in the ureter, this will block the urine outflow & urine will start accumulating in ureter just behind the stone (obstruction) & further will accumulate in kidney causing back pressure changes in the form of HY Chat Doctor. |

It means your having a small ulcer inside your anus which is causing pain when your passing stools.it can cause intense itching when the ulcer gets stained with stool.

U have to do few things.first u have taken a basin filled with lukewarm water and mix it with pinch of salt.u have to sit with anal region touching the water. This will bring down the pain.

Does taking primolut nor help me lose it. Thank you. Really i need your help. Because im in middle east now thats why i cant get pregnant | Hallow Dear, WHO has recommended Tab. Mifepristone to be followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Bisoprolol for termination of pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation. After last dose of Bisoprolol, usually abortion starts within 24 hours; however, occasionally it may be delayed up to 7 days. The completeness of abortion can be ascertained by ultrasonography. For this purpose, pregnancy test on urine is not useful since it requires more than a week to become negative. These medicines are prescription medicines and should be obtained by Obstetricians prescription with advice regarding the dose and schedule of medicines. It is advisable to have a follow-up visit to the Obstetrician after 7 days of medicines. These medicines cause developmental abnormalities in the baby. Hence, in case of failure, the decision should not be changed to continuation of pregnancy; pregnancy should be terminated by surgical methods like MVA aspiration. I hope this helps you. |

Abdominal pains that are short-lived and go away completely between attacks and are regularly linked to meals, this may point to a stomach or duodenal ulcer being influenced by fluctuations in stomach acidity with food. This painful condition results from damage to the inner lining of the stomach or upper part of the intestine OR they can be typically from spasm, such as from a gallbladder full of stones but your USG IS CLEAR.

Your symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux. But, considering your past medical history, angina can not be excluded either.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have been suffering from anxiety for the last 10 years. I was able to live a normal life and working happily. I was on Nexitoplus (do not know if I had depression). Two months back because of family problems (father health issue), financial stress, work pressure, and continuous thoughts. The panic attack was on Nexito 20 and Etizola but with no greater relief. After that, our family doctor changed to Nexito forte. Now I am feeling physically well. Looking for motivation to get on with life and go to the job. Prior to use of Nexito forte, I was not able to concentrate. I was feeling less interested. Can you suggest how long should these medications be used? Also, how can I be mentally strong? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It is quite common for anxiety to get elevated when faced with stressful situations in life. The good thing is with appropriate support your anxiety will come down eventually and you can function normally. Nexito (Escitalopram) is a good medication for your condition. It is positive that you are feeling better now. I see that you are prescribed Nexito Forte (which contains Clonazepam in addition to Escitalopram). I will recommend discussing with your family doctor and switch from Nexito Forte to Nexito (Clonazepam is not recommended for long-term use). Nexito 10 mg once daily can be continued at least for a year after your anxiety comes down and you are feeling better. Then it can be gradually cut down. I will recommend having some psychological therapy or counseling to deal with factors contributing to your anxiety and help manage family problems and stress at work. Exercise regularly, try yoga or meditation whichever you find comfortable. Cut down on ChatDoctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Mia, My doc has prescribed primolut for 10 days and then to follow byt taking clomid day 5 of my period! I am approx day 13 into my current cycle. My question is i am been having unprotected intercourse( trying to conveive) and i am now having a stretchy discharge ... i think am ovoulating? My worry is will the primolut prevent fertilation/ implantation if i was to start primolut? | Hello thank you for your query. Primolut does not prevent fertilization.However, in the event that you do conceive, primal contains norethisterone which has adverse effects on the pregnancy. Your doctor hopes to regulate your current cycle before beginning stimulation with Closed next month. Hence, primal which contains progesterone has been prescribed. Please discuss with your doctor, as there are various other alternatives to Primal such as Me prate and Phaeton, which will serve the pregnancy and also not cause harm in case you ovulate / conceive. Take care. |

If you did SES in the unsafe period of the cycle (10th to 20th day of cycle) then take another unwanted 72 pills to event the pregnancy. But chance of the side effects like menstrual irregularity, hormonal imbalance is high. Use barrier method of contraception in future to prevent the pregnancy.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am suffering from heel pain for last around 8 months. I have taken treatment from orthopedics, who have prescribed several medicines with finally three nos of injection injected in the ankle with a interval of 15 days in between. But after all these effort the heel pain is still alive. In the morning when I wake up, the first few steps are very much painful. please advise a permanent resolution. | The symptoms and ensuing treatment you explained, suggests one thing, that you are suffering from PLANTAR FASCIITIS. In this, soft tissue and underlying fat pad at heel causes pain. Usually the injections in affected area reduce the pain or completely control it. In your case, as it has not helped, here are certain things you can do:1. Take NSAIDs prescribed by your orthopedics doctor.2. Contrast bath the painful area- 10 min of hot water fomentation, followed by 5 min of ice fomentation, followed by hot water again. Twice daily repeat the procedure.3. Use a medial arch support in your footwear. Throw away any heel pad, if prescribed (they actually worsen the condition).4. You can get a planter fascia injection again after a while. Make sure you get it from a Podiatrist, or a PMR physician |

You have been advised to see an eye doctor because hepatitis can cause eye problems like Chat Doctor. Since these problems can be worsened by interferon therapy, you have been advised a baseline eye consultation before starting interferon. The other thing is that if you are depressed, please ask your doctor to put you on treatment for it as depression also is likely to be aggravated by interferon therapy. Hope this is of help.

I do ok taking 5mg at night for a week, and then try to stop, or lower the dose, and end up a few days later needing 20mg just to stop a night time anxiety attack. Then I drop back to the 5mg for awhile do ok for a week, and again try to lower or stop...and the cycle continues. Is it better to just keep taking it at 5mg daily no matter what and leave it alone for awhile...husband and some web sites say that valium will become more effective if I take it daily to build up the same level in my body. | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor. You have not mentioned why you are taking Valium. Valium is diazepam, benzodiazepine in nature. It is used for sleep mainly associated with primary Chat Doctor. For a short term it may be used for anxiety. Valium is having addictive properties. As you go on increasing, you require higher dose of it.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had my Aortic valve replaced 5 years ago with a mechanical valve. I just had an echocardiogram done and the doctor tells me that my valve is starting to clogged up. I was very stunned so I really didnt ask any questions. Is there any meds or anything I can do to fix this or do I have to have another surgery? If so, valve replacement? Any other information is appreciated. Thanks. | Hello, The answer of this depends on the mechanism by which the clogging has occurred. But by all means you should visit your cardiologist at the earliest as if in the early course, the reason for clogging is a blood clot which can be treated with medication. This can save you from a big surgery at a later date. So with all reports do visit your doctor. Also, if its mechanical Valve make sure that your INR is in therapeutic range between 2.5 to 3.5. Hoping I could help. Regards Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a type 2 diabetic with a history of 2 MIs. I have been ill with a bad cold/bronchitis since Dec 2nd. I have no energy and get chest pains when I do anything physical - go downstairs, walk more than 100 feet or so, do dishes, etc. My doctor is away until Jan 4th. Do I need to seek other treatment?. | Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have bronchitis plus history of MI attack also. So you are already respiratory and cardiac compromised. Whenever you do some more activity than your tissue might not get enough oxygen as cardiorespi compromise. Here you have to do ECG and echocardiography to rule out cardiac failure secondary to MI. As in cardiac failure also dyspnea and chest pain can occur. If bronchitis is infective then treated with antibiotic. If more difficulty in breathing and chest pain at rest then consultation to doctor done and nebulization with subsequent oxygen therapy might be needed. So better to consult cardiologist to rule out heart failure. Avoid smoking if habit. Take care... |

Doctor says she is mal-nourished since she hasn t been eating much for last 5-6 weeks. | I don't know any such recipes. You can try Fabien powder. But one thing I can caution is that no nutrition supplement that will treat her MAL nutrition. Only treatment of cancer will resolve her MAL nutrition. There is controversy that feeding the patient with nutrition supplement is like feeding the tumor itself and only indication for supplement is when she is not able to take orally because of extensive oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy |
