Hello doctor, It has been weeks since I have been feeling acid reflux with symptoms of heartburn and back pain. I have been taking Kremil-S and Omeprazole. Lately, I am experiencing diarrhea. I hope you can help me. | Hello. I have reviewed your history as well as the medication profile you just shared. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). So the part of the problem is secondary to the medicine you are taking such as diarrhea which tends to occur secondary to Kremil-S since this medicine contains aluminum and magnesium both could cause diarrhea. I want you to stop it now. In addition, Senokot also causes diarrhea. I am afraid that your initial physician has given you both these medicines for constipation or for stomach pain? You should stop it as well until your diarrhea gets better. Omepron (Omeprazole) is a generic medication but there are many which are now available with good effect. I recommend you to switch to capsule Esomeprazole 40 mg. Take similarly as you were taking Omepron before breakfast in the morning. If this dose does not help increase the dose to twice daily before the meals. Let me know in a few days if symptoms persist, I may consider adding other medicines for you if it does not work in your case. Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Dyspepsia Follow up in three to five days. | 1,100 | Q. I am getting diarrhea after taking Kremil-S and Omeprazole. What to do? |
Hello doctor, I am 33 weeks pregnant. In my previous pregnancy, I had a c section at 33 weeks as my water broke. Presently, I am taking Aspirin tablets daily. My doctor prescribed it. But I have a doubt that will it cause excessive bleeding in my delivery? As I am near to delivery is it safe to take these tablets? I am currently taking Ecospirin 150 mg, Diamet Metformin 500 mg, Orotate 3D, Folsafe D, Wysolone 5 mg, and Iron tablets. | Hello. I totally understand your concern, but please do not be stressed. All you need right now is to relax, keep calm, and take some rest. Yes, Ecosporin is totally safe during pregnancy, and mostly your gynecologist will continue it until 36 weeks at least. But I would like to know the reason for starting Ecosporin and also the steroids ( Wysolone) because you have not mentioned it (could be related to previous pregnancy events which need to be known in detail). And also if you go into labor you can stop it then, the effect usually does not last more than a day, and the dose that is given in pregnancy is very low. So definitely there is not much risk of bleeding. I hope this helps. | 1,101 | Q. Is it safe to continue Ecospirin during delivery time? |
Hello doctor, I am a 22-year-old male. I have been getting hips, legs, knees, and back pain issues when masturbating. I usually masturbate four to five times a week, sometimes I can go two to three days without masturbating. I have cracking noises in my hips and knees and my quad muscles feel over stretched and tight. This problem has affected me and I am very limited in performing any activities such as sports. I am not physically active anymore, I used to play sports regularly but since I started having so many problems from the waist down, I stopped. Also, I get pain even when I am standing, sitting, or driving and get pain in the morning after waking up. I live abroad and to get any medical attention requires months of waiting. I currently have an MRI booked in five months but my symptoms are getting worse day by day and I do not have the patience to wait until then. Is masturbation the reason for my problems? How can I fix these issues and get my life back to normal? Is MRI necessary? If not, what do I need instead? Please help. | Hello. Sorry about your health condition. Masturbation usually may not cause weakness or muscle problems. So do not worry, the possible causes for your problem is 1. Panic attacks or anxiety which lead to increased tension in muscles. 2. Hypocalcemia. 3. Fibromyalgia. 4. Hypothyroidism. 5. Vitamin D deficiency. 6. Rheumatoid arthritis. 7. Myositis. Still, many possibilities are there. So use vitamin E capsule like Evion 400 mg twice a day for two weeks. Use tablet Aceclofenac 100 + Thiocolchicoside 4 mg twice a day for five days. Avoid excessive masturbation as it may lead to penile mucosal injuries, lack of sex drive, etc. Eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits. Do yoga and meditation regularly to release your muscle tension. Get done hemoglobin level, thyroid profile, serum calcium, and vitamin D levels. Also, do RA (rheumatoid factor) factor, ANA (antinuclear antibody), ASO (antistreptolysin) are also useful. If symptoms are not improved please consult with your physician or rheumatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly. | 1,102 | Q. I experience hip, knee and back pain due to frequent masturbation. Please help. |
Hi doctor, My last period was on 25th February 2020. I have done urine test twice at home and it is positive and I do have other symptoms of pregnancy. I am sure that I am pregnant. Due to Corona situation, I am afraid to get out and do other tests and see the doctor. I do have a dry cough for the last one month and some time with white mucus. Mostly when I eat rice, and spicy food my cough starts. I have called a gynecologist and she told me to have Adovas after lunch and Duvent (Rupatadine 10 mg) after dinner for seven days. After seven days, I called her and told her that I feel a little better but not stopped coughing and she advise me to take Adovas only three times a day. I did and it did not help me at all. I called her again and she advises Montelukast 10 mg after dinner and its also not working. It has been four days since I took Montelukast and I feel like I need to deep breath when I take it. I have only cough, no fever, no pain, no breathing problem, no headaches, and no running nose. As you know in this Corona situation I cannot go out with a cough to get other tests or see a doctor for my pregnancy advice and lab test. Would you please help me advising good medicine so my cough stops. Other than the above, I am taking Folic Acid 5 mg two times moring and evening as she told me do I need to take anything else for my pregnancy at this moment. Please help. | Hi. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Let me tell you in the first three months of pregnancy vomiting sensation, gaseous state, mood swings, breast, and back pain are common. I understand it is not possible to have a consultation now. For cough, do stream inhalation three times a day, tablet Azithromycin 500 mg twice daily for five days, syrup Dextromethorphan / Guaiphenesin combination 5 ml twice daily for five days. (We get it as syrup Ascoril in India). You will be fine. Folic acid is a must once a day till your pregnancy, and tablet Doxinate (Doxylamine) twice daily before food will prevent nausea and vomiting. | 1,103 | Q. I am in my early stage of pregnancy with dry cough. Please help. |

Actually the chronic problem of gas you mention is common in some one with overweight to obese-as in your case may be. Since your weight appears to be way beyond normal and this has definitely health consequences if not controlled. The blood in stool you mention, is somewhat alarming, and requires a thorough in person examination of the bottom, and looking for the causes such as anal fissure, hemorrhoids, to some serious disorders like inflammatory bowel disease. To summarize I want you to go and meet a gastroenterologist in your local area and get yourself examined to determine the cause.

Hello doctor, I have had ED for several years now. I am able to get an erection but I am unable to maintain it. I have been going to a men's clinic for seven months now and they have done the GAINSWave treatment and implanted a testosterone pellet last week. After all this, there has been no improvement. I have been using the ICI injections and that maintains the erection. Sildenafil is effective sometimes, but not consistently. I have also improved my diet and exercise. I also have delayed ejaculation during this, but in the last 10 days, I am unable to ejaculate at all either through sexual intercourse or masturbation. I have been on SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) in the past but stopped taking them six days ago. At this point, I am at a loss and would like to get another opinion and some direction. | Hello. Your lipid values and blood sugar values are absolutely normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I would like to say a few points here. Lisinopril HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide) is a combo of two drugs in which HCTZ has erectile dysfunction as one of its side effects. Hydrochlorothiazide need to be replaced with a different drug or removed. You are on three antihypertensives Lisinopril, HCTZ, and Amlodipine. Is your hypertension that severe? Testosterone implant may improve your libido but may not benefit ED (erectile dysfunction) always unless there is a gross hormonal dysfunction. SSRI group of medicines are prescribed to delay ejaculation. I do not know why were you prescribed one. That is the culprit which has stopped your ejaculation totally. Better to discontinue it. Instead of Sildenafil for erection, you can try tablet Tadalafil 10 mg (Cialis) after consulting your andrologist. The erectile effects of Sildenafil are short lasting whereas Tadalafil has prolonged effects and one pill on Friday will make you have a wholesome weekend. It may even stop the need to have intracavernosal injections. One investigation which I would suggest you is a penile doppler which gives an idea of blood flow to the penis. GAINSWave is an addon to cure you fast. Penile doppler study. ED. | 1,106 | Q. I am unable to maintain erection even after GAINSWave treatment. Why? |
Hello doctor, I had a medical abortion a month ago. My period came 29 days after the abortion. After the period I did an hCG test and it was positive. 37 days after abortion my hCG level is 18.21. After three days, the test showed 17.56. I also did an ultrasound and the doctor said I have 3 mm endometrial thickness on one spot. He prescribed me Duphaston to take from day 15th day to 25th day of my cycle. I am scared to take it and also I am scared that maybe I have some retained products but the doctor said I am fine. What should I do? Is it safe to take Duphaston in my condition? | Hello. First of all, there is no harm in taking Duphaston in your condition. It is just a progesterone hormonal analog, the same hormone is secreted from the ovaries once the egg is released after ovulation. So there is nothing to worry about taking it. I would like to know what was the indication for checking beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) value at 37th-day post-abortion, when everything was fine, you even got your periods pretty much on time? Regarding your beta hCG value, I would like to tell you that beta hCG may be detected in maternal blood up to 4-6 weeks post first-trimester miscarriage or medical abortion. Did you had a missed miscarriage or was it an unwanted pregnancy that was terminated medically, and at how many weeks of gestation? This is important because sometimes missed miscarriage may harbor partial molar pregnancy which goes unnoticed, as biopsy or histopathological examination is not done for such cases. But yes, any persistence beyond 6 weeks of abortions should be monitored carefully as these may be a hint of development of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). As your scan is normal, and also endometrial thickness of 3 mm is also a normal finding, so there is no chance of having any retained products. It would be helpful if you could share the ultrasound reports (pre and post-abortion), and the dates of the events along with the date of doing beta hCG levels to have a better idea of your situation. I would advise you to recheck your beta hCG value again after a week. Please revert back to me with the necessary details I requested you, so that I can guide you further. Serum beta hCG value after a week. | 1,107 | Q. Is it safe to take Duphaston post abortion? |

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | 1,113 | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? |
Hi doctor, During masturbation I just rub the tip of the penis and not the entire penis. Is it a wrong way of doing? I do not get excited during sex and unable to ejaculate.

Hello doctor, I have a positive UPT and my LMP is 31st March. I have an irregular period at 13th May and I found some blood spots. After that, I go for a TV ultrasound that shows no definite gestational sac, endometrial echo is central and normal in thickness and measures 0.6 cm. Before TV ultrasound, on 8th May, I checked my beta hCG and it is 178 and after 48 hours it is 247. Is this miscarriage or should I go for another ultrasound because after that I do not have bleeding or cramps or anything? Please guide. | Hello. I have gone through the description you mentioned and understand your concern totally. But the details are a little confusing, it would have been good if you could give details with dates when beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) was checked. I understand that scans were performed and the beta hCG test on 8th May is 178 and on 10th May it was 247. On 13th May you got the scan as you had a spotting, right? See, as your previous cycles have been irregular, it is difficult to predict when you would have ovulated exactly. So we cannot go by your dates to calculate the duration of the pregnancy. May I know when did the urine pregnancy test turn positive for the first time? It would be advisable to recheck your urine pregnancy test now again, as you had spotting, if the levels are falling then it would be suggestive of a miscarriage, and mostly this could be like a biochemical pregnancy, where pregnancy is detected only in the blood tests, but on the scan I cannot find the gestational sac development, which has ultimately got aborted. (As levels you mentioned last were pretty low). Another possibility to be ruled out, more importantly, is ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy at some unknown location. To rule out all these, doing a serum beta hCG will clear your doubts. Serum beta hCG level. Repeat ultrasound after checking the beta hCG value. Report to your gynecologist if you have any sharp pain. | 1,117 | Q. I am pregnant and found some blood spots. Does my ultrasound suggest miscarriage? |
Hello doctor, I have fever and leg pain since last night. I had preauricular sinus infection pus drainage three weeks back. I was on different antibiotics for the last 45 days. Taxim O, Centil, Augmentin, and Lizobact 600. I stopped taking them two days back. | Hello. I have gone through your query. As per your query, you have taken multiple antibiotics for a long time which is not good. I need to know whether you have done a culture sensitivity test for the pus draining out of the sinus or not, because if you take antibiotics according to the culture then chances of recurrent sinus infection and fever are very less. Can you send me the photos of your infected area (preauricular sinus)? Mostly pus discharging sinuses are caused by tuberculosis infection in most of the cases. In my opinion, you should go for a detailed physical and systemic examination along with some blood tests and chest x-ray. Also, if discharging sinuses is still persisting then you need to do a pus culture sensitivity test both for bacterial culture and Acid fast bacilli (AFB) culture and other advanced tests for tuberculosis. Now you can take tablet Paracetamol 650 mg whenever you develop a fever. Please do not ignore your problem as it can lead to deterioration of your health. I suggest you to consult a physician and get a detailed physical and systemic examination done and detailed evaluation along with the above tests. | 1,118 | Q. I have fever and leg pain from yesterday with a history of preauricular sinus. Please help. |

Looking forward to your response in order to help you. | 1,119 | Q. I have white patch on my face. What could this be? |
Hello doctor, How accurate are early ultrasounds at determining gestational age and conception? Based on my 6th-week scan I am 23 weeks today means I conceived around December 25th. Is it possible that I actually conceived around December 5th and baby is measuring small? (I have had six ultrasounds and the baby has never measured more than 2 days off from the date given at my 6-week scan) even though my last period last came on November 28th she has never measured on track for that. | Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The first-trimester ultrasound scans done before 12 weeks are the most accurate ones in the assessment of gestational age with an error of only + /- 5 to 7 days in the assessment of gestational age. So they are used for obstetric dating and determination of expected date of delivery. Moreover, if you have done 6 ultrasounds and the date calculated from each of them corroborates and does not lag behind then probably your baby is growing well and it is not small as you apprehend. The date we calculate from the first day of last periods is accurate only if the periods were regular for the last 3 months and there was no history of miscarriage or ovulatory disorder like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) or contraceptive pill intake. In case of any discrepancy the date from dating scan at 6 weeks are accurate and to be considered. It is a probability that you actually conceived in later part of the cycle which leads to this discrepancy between the date and USG. | 1,120 | Q. How accurate are ultrasounds in determinig the gestational age and conception? |
Hello doctor, I am a 36-year-old male. I previously had a chlamydia infection and was successfully treated. Will such previous infection interfere or affect my fertility? I recently had a scrotal examination and the results were normal. | Hello. Chlamydia infection persistence or recurrence can definitely cause an apparent increase in the pus cell and WBC count in the seminal fluid which can easily decrease the total sperm count and its quality. If you have been treated it is good, but again it takes 90 days for new spermatids to form adults and become functionally mature for fertilization. It is always best to get a repeat semen analysis and culture done to be sure that there is no repeat or recurrence of chlamydia infection if you have been sexually active post your previous examination or if your partner was not treated along with you. | 1,121 | Q. Will previous chlamydia infection have harmful effects in fertility of males? |

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | 1,128 | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? |
Hi doctor, During masturbation I just rub the tip of the penis and not the entire penis. Is it a wrong way of doing? I do not get excited during sex and unable to ejaculate.

There are no focal lung lesions. There is no pleural effusion. The cardiac size is normal. The retrosternal space is normal. The domes of diaphragm are normal. Please discuss this in detail with your doctor. | 1,130 | Q. I had an asthma attack. Please interpret my chest x-ray for abnormal findings. |
Hello doctor, I feel rather extremely angry than at the same time, very sad. I always have this very gory thoughts that I wanted to kidnap and torture the person I hate and again, at the same time, I want to hurt myself because I am so incompetent and I always feel like all the people think the same way to me, that I am incompetent and that if I die, everyone will be happy. I also started gripping things strongly and I always try to stop when I notice. Am I really unstable? Does this mean I cannot do my work properly? | Hello. How long have you been experiencing these symptoms like extreme anger, sadness, and other difficult emotions? Has there been anything ongoing stressors in your life that affects you negatively? From the information you have provided, it appears that you are stressed, experiencing depressive thoughts, and need support to cope with the emotional difficulties. Speak to a trusted family member/friend about your difficulties so that they can understand and support you. Do not keep things to yourself as it will add to your stress. Having fantasy thoughts of wanting to hurt the person you hate and self-harming thoughts can happen if you are overwhelmed by your situation and not having positive coping strategies. You need to consult a psychiatrist near your place for a comprehensive assessment to clarify the nature and severity of symptoms based on which counseling or therapy can be provided. With the right treatment, you will feel more in control of yourself and will be able to function normally. I hope this helps. | 1,131 | Q. I get mixed thoughts of anger, self-hurting, and sadness. Am I unstable? |
Hello doctor, I would like to get a third opinion in regard to categorizing which uterine abnormality I possess. The initial doctor said it is arcuate. My current doctor thinks it is bicornuate but I am going to do a 3D ultrasound in the middle of my next cycle to get a better idea. I have MRI and hysteroscopy photos to provide. I have had two missed miscarriages, the last one hemorrhaged two days before going septic and sent me to the ER for five days. I have also been diagnosed with a placental site nodule on my right side where both pregnancies have been. Could my problem be surgically corrected? Currently, we are going through genetic, blood clotting disorder, and menstrual cycle/hormone monitoring. Genetic counselor said low risk for any genetic causes but is still waiting to complete the blood tests which should be done in four weeks, same for the blood clotting tests. | Hello. Having gone through the MRI pelvis and hysteroscopy pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it is evident that you have a bicornuate uterus with a single cervical opening and it is not a septate uterus or an arcuate uterus. Two different horns of uterus are evident on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), indicating the bicornuate abnormality. The option which you have is called Straussman's operation where both the horns can be cut in the centre and joined to make a single uterine cavity. You may discuss the option with your gynecologist and make a decision. | 1,132 | Q. Based on the hysteroscopy and MRI, please suggest whether I have arcuate or bicornuate uterus. |
Hello doctor, My mother has paranoia schizophrenia for the past 16 years. The delusions have become very absurd and in her story, her immediate family is the culprit. She has very vivid auditory hallucinations and sometimes visual hallucinations. She has refused to see a doctor as she believes they are in on it. Her stage of psychosis is very violent in which she screams and shouts and also turns violent. This has been going on for 16 years, but now the episodes of psychosis are becoming more intense. Please advise on how to talk to her or at the very least medicate her because it is taking a toll on our mental health. My sister suffers from depression and I suffer from anger management. How our father holds it together I have no clue. Please advise. | Hi. It is quite difficult to manage such issues when patient refuses to take the drug. However, nowadays Depot injections are available and their effect lasts up to four weeks. So talk to your psychiatrist regarding the injection. Once she is put on a monthly injection then it will be easier for you to give her a monthly dose. This will ensure drug compliance and a better outcome. I hope this helps. | 1,133 | Q. My schizophrenic mother turns violent on auditory and visual hallucinations. Please suggest medication. |
Hello doctor, I am running an IT firm for the past four years. Currently, I am having two health issues related to my work. 1. Lower back pain - it started two years back and now it has become worst. Now I cannot ride a motorbike, cannot sit in a normal chair, and cannot even sleep on my sides. I also cannot walk or stand continuously for more than half an hour. Currently, I am using a belt and it is helping a lot. 2. Pain in both the shoulders if they are not in action. Like if I am sitting in the chair for more than an hour without regularly using my hands. The shoulders start paining. This just started a few months back and getting worst. I have not consulted a doctor yet for both of these issues. I wish to book an appointment and it would be appreciated if the doctor knows Malayalam as my English is not up to mark. | Hi. Well, you have a typical problem with people working in an IT firm. Tell me first how much physical activity you have in your daily routine. | 1,134 | Q.

Hello doctor, My wife has been having itching on her body for the past one year. Itching subsides with Allegra 120. She is taking this medicine for the last one year. Mostly, she gets itching on the area which is not covered by clothes. Skin becomes red when she scratches it. I am attaching the picture. | Hello. She is allergic. The allergy can be due to food, sunlight, pollens, soap, moisturizer, or powder. So she can be allergic to anything. As you mentioned that only areas that are not covered by clothes are affected, which points to photosensitivity which is an allergy to sunlight. It can be an allergy to something else as well. It is very difficult to say only on the basis of history. I would suggest to look for any particular food if she develops itching after eating something. Change soap, moisturizer, and powder. Cover the whole body while going out which will protect if she is allergic to sunlight. You can also go for skin allergy testing which will confirm the diagnosis. Take tablet Montair LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) whenever she has itching. Stop Allegra. It is basically prevention from allergens she is allergic to. You can find it by yourself by closely watching or go for skin allergy testing. | 1,135 | Q. My wife has itching on exposed areas for the past one year. Kindly suggest solution. |
Hello doctor, I am 24 years old. I have always been very anxious about health, especially my sexual health. But when I was about 9 or 10 a spot came up on my penis where the glans and shaft meet. It was flesh colored, painless, and round. There was no dimple in it. I was never sexually abused or sexually active at this age. I did not even masturbate the first time until I was 12 or 13. My mom took me to the doctor and they said like just come back if it gets bigger. She had likened it to a wart, but it was not very hard or dry. Anyway, it stayed for a couple of years after that it shrinks down. It no longer appears as if it is above the skin but appears as a small pin-sized bump underneath a skin bridge. I am curious if it cannot be an STD and I have never found anything similar online. So what could it be? I would not think a wart would stick around that long. And it really does not look like that at all. That was there over 12 years so I would not think it is anything fatal. To be even more specific, it is on the top side to the right. As I said, it looks like a skin bridge with a little bump underneath. But it really has no sort of texture. And the only problem it really causes is some skin rubbing when that extra skin rubs my underwear. | Hello. This was likely a wart only. Warts can have very varied morphology and most plausible explanation is for wart only. Because, considering it was a single lesion, was not painful or itchy, flesh colored and it persisted for a long time and resolved on its own. So all these factors favor it. Morphology can be variable. The negative factor was not sexually active. Although most common causes are sexual contacts, but significant number of individuals may have it with non-sexual contacts as well, it can be transmitted vertically during childbirth and remain dormant for a long time activating later in life. It can be transmitted with usual contacts and can be transmitted through clothing like underwear (if came in direct or indirect contact with infected individual clothing), sharing toilets, etc., can also transmit it. So being not sexually active is not a strong factor against it. Rest all causes like skin tags which would persist without treatment or fall off suddenly, PPP (pearly penile papules) would be numerous papules, other infectious causes would be short-lived and multiple lesions and symptomatic like painful tender or red. Malignancies are unlikely at this age and would progress. So the probability is high for wart only. I hope this helps. | 1,136 | Q. I have 10 spots on penis for a long duration with no harm. Is it STD? |

Doctors are switching between whether I have Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis, based off response to treatment and medicine. Started humira last month but it has come in for my 2nd Round, and it’s already a month late. Won’t know if that worked or not since I’m off schedule. This past week the area around my rectum with is very raw has swelled up. It’s around where I have the seton in from a fistula. Past week, my bowels have nothing but liquids. Every time I go to the bathroom is expands that area where the seton is, causing excruciating pain. I’m currently on Imodium and Flagil. I’ve taken Advil and Tylenol. Nothing has reduced the pain. | Hello. I welcome you to icliniq. I know you must be very upset about your ongoing condition. You symptoms suggest that you have crohns disease not ulcerative colitis. Humira and biologic medications like this work for a while before losing effect till the time of next dose. So yes If the interval between two doses is extended the patient can develop flare in interval period. The symptoms you mention may be of a mild to moderate intesity flare but can be secondary to infections the Clostridium difficle infection which is common. You did not mention that the pain in area of where you have seton is new or occurring before as well? and when did you have seton for fistula? The swelling you mention can be an evolving perianal abscess due to active lumnial disease. The abscess formation is the first step in the formation of fistula which is a end result due to repture of abscess from both side-lumen on one side and skin on other side. So I am afraid you me have this. Flagyl is good if taken for long time to treat perianal disease but you did not mention for how long you been using this. for now you can continue this and get yourself examined by your physician to look for evolving abscess. Adalimumab (humira) works well for perianal disease but make sure you need to increase the frequency and do not distrub the schedule. I hope this will help Take care crohns disease with perianl disease stool for c.difficle antigen and stool for calprotectin stool detail report stool culture | 1,145 | Q.

It also accompanies with a slight cough, trouble in sleeping, occasional uncommon sweating, body soreness or fatigue, slight vomiting and voice loss. It is not really getting better. It originally appeared to be just a bad cold, but today there is blood in my sputum. It started about 15 minutes ago and it is only when I spit it out every few minutes. Should I be concerned? My mom thinks that it may be due to a laryngoscope I got at the ENT yesterday. But, no bleeding occurred until now. Thank you. | Hi.

Hi doctor, I am 24 years old. I am not on any sort of birth control pills. I had a normal menstruation in the starting of this month and normal bleeding. After six to seven days, I started bleeding again. The bleeding was not very heavy, but lasted on and off for about six days. Now, after a gap of four days, I have got heavy bleeding again. It is not brown blood as I normally see during my period. It is dark red, much thinner and flows readily like a liquid. I feel pain in the lower abdomen whenever I get this bleeding. I also feel weak. There is no pain on urination or sex. I do not have a history of any infections. Also, I am not on any other regular medication. I am pretty sure that I am not pregnant. I have got a GP appointment in a week, but it is really worrying and painful sometimes. What could this be? | Hello.

Hi doctor, I struggle to focus and I cannot concentrate on my studies. I just think about other things, not always bad things, but sometimes I think about throwing myself out the window.

I feel like tight chest and my breathing is difficult. I want to do well at college, but I am not happy. My mood changes within a few seconds. I am too shy to visit a doctor. Please help. | Hi.

Hi doctor, For controlling my hypertension, I was prescribed Benicar 40/12.5 mg once in the morning, Amlodipine 5 mg twice a day and Clonidine once in the evening. These were prescribed after ECG and blood work. Even, after taking the medication, my BP is usually 160/85 mmHg. What to do further. Please advise. | Hello. I want to highlight a few important points here: Amlodipine should be used once daily. Instead of taking 5 mg twice daily you should take 10 mg once daily, which is the maximum dose. Clonidine on the other side can actually cause rebound hypertension, which can explain your high blood pressure. It should be the last resort of the treatment of hypertension. It would be nice to know the dose that you are taking these days. I would like to know when did you take your blood pressure and if you follow a low salt diet. Benicar - Olmesartan is a good medication. Please consult your specialist doctor and discuss my opinion. I would like to know if you have any other medical conditions like diabetes, stroke, high cholesterol or a heart attack to determine your blood pressure goal according to the latest guidelines.

I am 29 years old, a mother of a 17months toddler. Two years ago I was suspected to have fibroadenoma on the right breast by a doctor who's only done the ultrasound, because I haven't accept to do the biopsy. On the report it is written by the doctor Ultrasonographic bilaterally dense glandular parenchyma, on the left side there are no signs of apathological echogenicity, on the right side is seen lobule hypohehogenic focus of 16mm suspected of fibroadenoma. Since then I haven't done any ultrasound at all, and haven't used any kind of medication because the doctor haventw prescribed me anhthing and recently I feel pain before the period and then after having the period I dont feel pain. But now that I am on the fertile days, I feel pain a lot when touching it, and I can feel that there is a thick lump near the nipple. Moreover, now I can feel I have lumps also on the left side when I touch it, and it's painful, but the right side is more painful, and this didn't happen to me before. Just to add that I am still breastfeeding. I want to do another ultrasound but until then I need your answer about these questions: 1. I don't have family history with breast cancer, except the aunt of my mother who had breast cancer. Is it possible this is cancer and not fibroadenoma? 2. What kind of a diet should I have to cure this disease? 3. I am afraid of biopsy, I've heard that it is dangerous because when you get a part of the lump removed,(and if that is cancer) the rest of it will be shared all over the body. Is it true? 4. Should I stop breastfeeding and can I plan for another baby after some months or I should better do a surgery before then? 5. Is it possible that I feel this pain these days because of the fertile days I am going through? Thank you a lot | Hi, I have gone through your narration of symptoms. With the history of pain occuring around the periods time, it is more likely to be Fibroadenosis rather than Fibriadenoma.. I would like to assure you not worry about either of this conditions as both of them are only benign conditions and not cancerous.. It wont cause any dangerous harm.. There is nothing much specific help we could get drastically from diet modification for this condition.. Just maintain your ideal body weight.. But still you need to confirm it by a Biopsy.. Need not fear about biopsy.. As you described it is not removal of part of the lump.. It is just a pinch of the lump, a small bit from it with a small injection.. Sometimes your surgeon might decide to excise it as a whole and send for biopsy in which case, it is called Excision biopsy.. But that will serve you dually for diagnosis and also completion of treatment by total removal.. And it is only a minor surgery, not a major one.. So, just throw away your fears on that.. You can continue breastfeeding and plan for pregnancy. But I think, the lump may increase in size during pregnancy which I am not sure about.. You need to consult with a Gynaecologist rwgarding this.. Do the investigations as adviced below and review back CBC, RBS, SERUM LIPID PROFILE, FREE T4, TSH, USG BOTH BREASTS | 1,191 | Q. Is it usual for fibroadenoma of the breast to pain during the fertile days? |
I'm a 21 year old male and take no medications. 4 years ago I started having Vasovagal Syncope episodes that have increased in frequensy over the years and I have now passed out from it around 10 times. My triggers for it are blood, needles, and damage to the wrists. My clinic reccomended that I wear a heart monitor for 30 days and when I passed out it showed that my heart stopped for 11 seconds and I was told to visit the E.R. I went to the nearest one and the cardiologist there informed me that my heart stopping that long was dangerous so they wanted to put a pacemaker in my the following morning. I redused and went to another hospital and they did a cardio ultrasound, told me my heart was fine, and then their cardiologist said that my heart stopping for that long was normal with Vasovagal Syncope and that I would be fine and let me go home. Those are 2 very different opinions and I wanted another. Should I be worried about my heart stopping for that long and is there any risk in it? | 1,192 | Q.

Nowadays my joint are aching and having leg and hand pain. Would like to what it is | Hi, I see you are worried by many symptoms Your platelet levels are not soo high to worry about.. It is only slightly elevated.. Doesnot cause any significant harm.. Need not worry about that.. Most of your symptoms relate towards hypothyroidism and your TSH level is also high.. But only mildly elevated TSH (Subclinical Hypothyroidism) doesnot satisfy to start on thyroid supplements unless its value is more than 10 (Overt hypothyroidism), though we can start when a person is presenting with the symptoms So I need you to retest with Free T3 & T4 levels instead of Total T3 & T4 and review to see the baseline Free T4 levels and decide better on starting the supplements And I dont see any report showing the cholesterol levels.. Kindly upload the picture of the same.. If you have not checked your sugars, please check that also before next review RBS SubClinical Hypothyroidism | 1,194 | Q.

Hello doctor, I have been taking steroids on and off for the past three years. I got artial fibrallation a year ago (never again since then). My blood pressure was quite high 152/90 at the doctor.

I already lost 24 kg and now I am weighing 110 kg at 194 cm, my goal is 93 kg. I also stopped steroids and now my blood pressure is 123/75. Will my diastolic function recover once I managed to reverse the LVH? | Hello. I have gone through your query. Can I know why were you on steroids? Was there any particular disease that was diagnosed and started you with steroids? As there are many determinants causing diastolic dysfunction, one of the common cause is hypertension. And yes, diastolic dysfunction is reversible in the majority of the cases over a period of time if you properly control your BP, obesity, and start doing regular exercise, consume a healthy diet, and lifestyle modification. You should also stop any addictions like smoking or alcohol if any. Also, get your blood sugar levels and thyroid profile checked.

Hello doctor, I have suspected abortion at 10 weeks and 6 days with heavy bleeding yesterday. I have my TVS ultrasound today and it shows heterogeneous endometrium. Is it fine? | Hello. I have seen the report attachments. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Based on your dates, if your gestational age is 10+6weeks, and if you had heavy bleeding, most likely it indicates an abortion wherein the product of conception have been expelled already. The heterogeneous endometrium just indicated the thickened uterine lining which develops in pregnancy to support the embryo, which will take some time to become normal. I am assuming your bleeding would have stopped by now and your gynecologist would have advised you some antibiotics to prevent any infections. If not then please consider taking them. I hope this helps. Repeat the scan after two weeks. Avoid pregnancy for the next two to three months, evaluate and then plan a pregnancy. Evaluate yourself prior to planning a pregnancy in the view of recurrent miscarriages. | 1,198 | Q. I had abortion at 10 weeks with heterogeneous endometrium in transvaginal scan. Please help. |
Hello doctor, I am 2.5 months pregnant now. And I have developed gestational diabetes and consulted with a gynecologist in the nearby polyclinic and made HbA1c (blood sugar monitoring test) and the result is 6.4 % reference range normal up to 6%. Before pregnancy diabetes range used to be always in normal range. Nowadays blood sugar while fasting is 130. Do I need to start insulin? I need your advice. I am 24 years old. My height is 5.2 feet and weighs around 105 kg. | Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that your blood sugar is not very high as to start insulin treatment as of now but you need to be closely monitored as regards to blood sugar, ultrasound fetal monitoring by an obstetrician and a dietitian for low carbohydrate diet consumption. Try to eat more vegetables like green leafy vegetables and not potatoes which contain high carbohydrates. You need to check 50 gm oral glucose tolerance test fasting and after 1 hour and 2 hours. If still high we need to assess the results and do further tests for the same and then decide whether to start insulin or not. Maintain blood sugar chart by checking it fasting, 2-hour post-meal, and before bedtime. Be in touch with a physician. Avoid rice, sweets, and sugary drinks. Take Folic acid 5 mg once daily. I hope this helps. | 1,199 | Q. I have developed gestational diabetes with FBS 130 mg/dL. Do I need to start Insulin? |
