Hi doctor, For four years I have the really bad coordination. I fumble things a lot. I am very clumsy, weak, tired and I pee all the time. I drag my feet along the ground while walking and my legs do not work when I try to stand, but that is a rare thing for me. I have memory issues, moderate vertigo, blurry and double vision and often trouble using my hands. Severe anxiety and depression, but I do not have any emotions. My mood changes rapidly. Sometimes, while talking I slur my words and I often have jumbled speech. When I was 15, I was kicked and punched in the head while I was sitting down and I was unconscious for about 10 minutes. Also, when I was around 8 to 10 years old, I fell off from the roof and twisted my vertebrae. I have done my brain scan and spine scan. Please help me. | Hello.

Hello doctor, Four months before, I was diagnosed with fatty liver, slightly elevated fasting sugar and the level of total cholesterol. My current medications are tablet Viboliv 500 daily two times in a restricted diet and Nexpro RD. I had consumed spicy foods rarely. In the last four months, I lost 7 kg weight. However, today, I have repeated the same tests and all the blood tests are normal. But, there is something in my USG of the whole abdomen. My USG report of liver is as follows: Liver is enlarged. The echogenicity is diffusely increased without any focal lesion. The intrahepatic structures are normal and no focal area of altered echogenicity is noted. The hepatic ports are normal. The common duct at ports measures 3 mm and the portal vein measures 10 mm to porta. Final impression is hepatomegaly with fatty liver and this is my recent USG report. My other organs are normal and I feel pain in the RUQ and flatulence is present. Also, I tested for FBS, LFT and lipid profile. Is it a reversible condition? Also, please let me know how much time will it take. Will you please guide me about the seriousness of this condition? Thank you. | Hello.

Hi doctor, My son is 20 months old. He is suffering from UTI. Since yesterday, he cries while urinating in the morning. He has fever for two days and cough and running nose for five days. The general physician gave Cefpodoxime oral syrup, but urine test has to be done tomorrow morning only. Should we start the antibiotic? No pediatrician nearby and we have to drive six hours to another town for the pediatrician. Please suggest me? | Hi. Crying while voiding urine and fever might be due to urinary tract infection (UTI). Urine routine and microscopy needs to be done for screening and if it suggests infection, then urine sample for culture and sensitivity needs to be given and oral antibiotics has to be started. The culture report, which takes two to three days will guide the further use of antibiotics, if any infection positive. Antibiotics should be started only after giving off a sample for culture and sensitivity, if UTI is suspected. Giving urine sample for testing after taking antibiotics might alter the test report and delay the infection.

Hi doctor, My 19 year old daughter is having a benign tumor in the liver, predicted as FNH.

Hi doctor, I have been having neuro issues such as seizures, headaches, etc., for the past 2.5 years. I was tested for paraneoplastic syndrome and came up as reactive on immunofluorescence, but negative ultimately on western blot. Still, a PET scan was done and it was clear. I have had several brain MRIs over the past 2.5 years. All have noted cerebral microhemorrhages. These are unexplained. I understand that they have not changed in size or character over the years, but one or two more have appeared. I understand in the differential diagnosis for these bleeds is hemorrhagic metastatic melanoma. No doctor has been suggested it. What is the possibility that these are actually melanomas? My doctor said unlikely because it has been 2.5 years and the actual hemorrhages remain unchanged.How can a radiologist be sure that these are not cancerous? The first scan done before two and a half years was with contrast and the remaining were without contrast. I am just concerned about these unexplained hemorrhages in light of my neuro symptoms. I wonder if I have brain metastasis without cancer anywhere else in my body. Please explain. | Hi.

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. | 1,413 | Q.

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.

Hi doctor, A couple of days before I found out that I am pregnant. According to the first day of last menstrual period, I am about four and a half weeks pregnant. This is my fourth pregnancy. I had an ectopic pregnancy before four years. Then gave a birth after a year through emergency cesarean and delivered another baby through Cesarean after 15 months. After my second baby, my doctor advised me not to get pregnant for a minimum of 18 months to 2 years. She said that my uterine wall was very thin. It has been almost 18 months since my last cesarean. I am in a confused state now whether to continue with the pregnancy or not. I spoke to my GP and she said it is all up to me, but there is a risk. What should I do now? | Hi. I think your GP has guided you correctly. Abortion can be associated with complications, some of which may be major. Your gynecologist informed you about your weak uterine scar. So, continuation of pregnancy can be risky as well. In my opinion you should consult your gynecologist who had done your cesarean section. Then, after understanding every advantage and disadvantage, you yourself take the decision.

Hi doctor, I am a 28 year old male. Approximately, six to seven years back, I had urinary infection when I was sexually active with my girlfriend. I was advised to take an antibiotic course, which I did not complete at that time and the infection was not fully cured. After that incident, I used to get urinary infection once in a few months. During urination, I sometimes used to have one or two drops of blood only during the time of urinary infection. In addition to the above mentioned problems, I have some other issues related to sexual health. Such as premature ejaculation, extremely bad timing, sensitivity of the penis skin, lower back pain, lack of confidence, etc. Very often on my way to the toilet some urine drops are leaked. During night time, I have to stand up several times to urinate. Sometimes, approximately once a week after urinating suddenly sperm drops are released, but I have not discussed this part with my urologist in person. I am not a stressful person, so the reason behind this has to be something else than stress. I have now recently been to a urologist and I was told that the infection became chronic. The doctor recommended antibiotics again and I have now completed the course. The urinary infection should be cured by now. All the new tests were negative. The urologist told me that my prostate size is bigger than people in my age. Please suggest me some good solution for the above mentioned problems. I want to get married soon and live a healthy life. The ultrasound has been made. The urologist here told me that, my prostate size is bigger than normal people in my age. This is not suppose to happen until a person gets older. That is the main reason of feeling weak and not being able to control urine, etc. I hope you understood all my problems. Please suggest me some medication for all the above mentioned problems. Thank you. | Hi. I assume that your reports have all been normal. If not, then please forward it to me.

I had a sinus infection and was prescribed two weeks Clavulin for a total dose of 1500 mg per day . At the end of two weeks I was symptom-free - but the day after I finished the meds I got my symptoms back and developed frontal sinus infection. I went on Clavulin for three weeks at the highest dose and had frontal sinus symptoms the whole time while I was on the antibiotics. I finish these antibiotics two weeks ago. Every day for the last two weeks I have a lot of pressure/tension on the top of my head that is pressing down on the top of my head and is very bothersome and also sometimes across the top of my forehead with occasional aches in my eyes . It is very hard to focus on anything else because the pressure is so bothersome. It has not gotten worse but remains the same every day . Can you tell me what is going on ? | Hi! Apologies for the late reply! As you have rightly put it, the most probable problem out there is a severe allergic problem with an associated sinusitis (frontal sinusitis to be precise). I have tried to explain things in a very simple yet precise manner below. The cascade of events is explained in a very simple manner below eventhough its not as simple as it looks! Exposure to dust (or any irritative substance that your body is hyper sensitive to) will initially initiate reflexes such as sneezing to remove the offending agent out but if this fails, mucosal cells in you nose start to hyperfunction producing loads of mucus to trap dust(owing to its sticky nature), this mucus has no where to go other than either being blown out of due to mucociliary activity gets pushed into the throat, thereby entering into a new zone, the throat initially reacts by activating cough impulses to push out the mucus, but if that fails, a local inflammation around the throat starts which often leads to symptoms such as feeling of a lump in the throat and repeated feeling to clear the throat. Now this is general cascade that usually occurs in most people, but need not be specific to you. Sinusitis is always secondary to something, allergy being the most common out of them. There could be other reasons as well for sinusitis to occur such as a hypoplastic frontal sinus, narrow frontal outflow tract/ frontal recess/ sinonasal polyposis etc. Another important fact About sinusitis is about its recurrence. Plain use of antibiotics doesn't solve the issue, but just keeps it off for a while. We need to dig down and see what has caused the sinusitis in the first place for appropriate treatment rather than superficially treating it with plain antibiotics. Precautionary measures is one such thing which if followed ( such as in a case or allergy) will definetly go a very long way in keeping the problem at bay. The requirement of medications also will be less and on the whole you will have immense benefit. You can consider the following advice All precautionary measures have to be followed strictly for maximum relief, other wise medications won't be useful on long term. If things don't seem OK even after following the treatment schedule mentioned above, a non contrast CT is mandatory to find out what exactly could be going on in the sinonasal region. Anatomical variations, extent of inflammatory load are few things we look into while reading a ct scan. Surgery can be considered (if above medications and precautionary measures don't give any relief), but there is a catch to it. The symptoms might come back sometimes even on a higher scale after a brief relief following surgery if the precautionary measures post surgery are not followed. Ideally speaking in a nut shell, I again emphasis on preventing any irritative substance from entering the nose and throat, thereby triggering an allergic cascade of events and reproducing the symptoms you have mentioned above. I hope I have answered to your query in detail. Sorry again for the late reply. Get well soon! Warm regards | 1,421 | Q. I took Clavulin for frontal sinusitis, but still, feel pressure on top of my head. Why? |

My son is 3 and 9 months old. We are not in our home town. At the place where we live they speak a different language. So as to connect him with a common language we speak in English. Initially he struggled but now he is able to understand English very well. He even speak in English very well. To few questions we ask he doesn't answer properly. Like if we ask him " what is your name daddy nd mother's name he answers perfect" . If we ask him " how are you sometime he answer but sometime he just repeat how are you". He has good eye contact. He has good social skills. Even if iam sad or sitting alone he wil come to me ask" what happened mommy ? Do u have fever? ". In the beginning when he started to teach him talking if we ask him to say hi even he will say say hi. But nw if we ask him to say hi he will just say hi. If he is hungry he wil come and say me he is hungry. If he doesn't need something too he wil say no. If he wants to go to toilet too he will say us he wants to go to toilet. He needs help only in washing. Intially he likes to play with rotating objects. Like rotating a remote control something like that. But now he doesn't do that. He is of little shy type. But once he mingle with someone he will be very happy and will play with them. Intially he didn't have clarity in speech. But now he is good in that too.

Hello doctor, For the last month, I have been suffering with pain on my spine and lower back. When I touch a specific point on my spine the pain is severe. It hurts when I bend or sit it feels very sore. I visited a GP and she said that she thinks it is a muscle insertion that causes the pain but she is not sure. She did a neurological examination and all was normal. I wanted your opinion as my ankles and shin bone now started being painful too. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia four months ago and wanted to know if it is this that causes bone pain. My posture is quite bad too so I am not sure what it could be. I am very worried in case it is something very serious. What I should do now? | Hello. From your history and being unable to examine you I can only speculate on the cause. Yes, fibromyalgia can lead to trigger spots like tender areas which can be over the muscle belly or their attachment on the bone. The good thing was that the neurological exam was normal. Now coming to your concern that the shin and ankles had become painful. I will recommend that you get your ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein), complete blood count (CBC), urine routine, Vitamin D levels, and blood sugar tested. This will generally show indication about any inflammatory process and bars on that you can be started on antiinflammatory medication including steroids and possibly vitamin D too. Please let me know your investigation results. | 1,434 | Q. I have severe pain in spine and lower back with history of fibromyalgia. Please help. |

Hello doctor, I currently have aligners on and since I started the treatment I noticed a little white contour around my gums lower teeth, they lift a little bit. Is it something to be alarmed about? | Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. No, your gums are absolutely fine and nothing to be alarmed for.

I am taking Pregabalin for the past two days. | Hello. Well, most of your symptoms do look like related to the nerves only as the feeling of tingling and numbness can be related to that.

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.

Hello doctor, We got married for the past three years. We planned to have a child after one year. We tried to conceive for about a year but were unable to do so. Then we consulted a doctor who conducted many tests such as endometrial lining, hormonal levels, etc. All tests including hormonal levels were normal but the ultrasound as per doctor showed PCO (not PCOS). She prescribed medicines for three months, Duphaston 10 mg from 16th day of period, Feril XT, and M-Fol. At the end of the third month, my wife felt pain similar to menses but nothing happened. We tested with hCG strip which resulted in positive and her last period date is 2nd April. Now the problem is I am now unable to contact the present doctor due to lockdown. I want suggestions regarding, whether to continue the medicines or not? If not will there be a change in medicine? Any specific diet plan? Any exercise, yoga, etc? Will complete bed rest help or can she do some house chores in the initial pregnancy period? | Hello. If the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) strip results positive, it means that your wife is pregnant. Based on her last menstrual date she is 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. She can take Duphaston for two weeks every day two tablets a day and Folic acid 400 mcg one tablet a day until 12 weeks of pregnancy. She should not take any other medication. Ultrasound. | 1,445 | Q. My wife's hCG test is positive. Should she continue the same medicines prescribed for conceiving? |
Hello doctor, I have been suffering from gas for the past three years. I have bloating after meals for about 15 minutes after which it passes away. I can eat normally, but some times I feel bloated and cannot eat. I keep burping like once in 20 minutes. Is that normal? And also bloating increases when I have anxiety. I am taking Sompraz L (Esomeprazole 40 mg and Levosulpiride 75 mg) once in an empty stomach daily. Whenever I try to leave the medicine I have gas and acidity on the second day. I also take alcohol like 90 ml regularly for three years. There is no pain or anything but only burping and bloating. I wonder is it just anxiety or something serious? I am also very much afraid to visit a doctor least they prescribe endoscopy. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 78 kg. I had an ultrasound about one and a half years ago and it was normal. Please suggest. | Hello. Well, the burping while having meals, or just after the meals is a normal phenomenon. And I assure you it is not alarming in your case. However, it may cause trouble if gas trapped excessively and result in belly swelling. The reason behind this excessive bloating in your case may be aerophagia (engulfing air while taking meals that commonly occur in one who keeps speaking while having bolus) can be due to supragastric belching and may be due to excessive gas production after meals. The last group of people in medical science are termed as bloater, some are early bloaters where bloating occurs within 15 minutes of meal and some are late bloaters where bloating occurs after two hours of meal. This whole explanation is just to make you understand your own condition well. You seem to be late bloater and cause seems to be excessive gas production plus aerophagia. I want you to take a three-week course of antibiotics to reduce the excessive gas production within your bowel. The antibiotic is safe without any side effects except in some may cause diarrhea of mild intensity. SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). Tablet Rifxamin 200 mg thrice daily for three weeks and then stop, tablet Digestine (Metaclopramide) 40 mg half an hour before meals for one week and then as per need. You can stop Sompraz L, as Tab Digestine will work in more effective way than this. | 1,446 | Q. I feel bloated with frequent burping after meals. Is this due to anxiety? |
Hi doctor, I am 26 years old and trying to conceive. I ovulated on 16th April and noticed spotting on 17th and 18th April. My period was due on 30th April and I am currently 8 days late. My pregnancy test is negative and I was prescribed Deviry. I am on my first day of Deviry, when can I expect my period and will I ovulate in this cycle? | Hi. I understand your concern. You are absolutely correct that stoppage of pill causes mid-cycle spotting. Why are you taking birth control if you are trying to conceive? Now coming to your question. The dose of Deviry (Medroxyprogesterone) is 10 mg, twice a day for five days. You only need to take 10 tablets and your period will start about two to seven days after taking the last tablet. It varies from person to person. Deviry will not interfere with ovulation and since you get regular cycles you can expect to ovulate any time between 12 to 16th day. I am sharing a little extra detail that will help you. Ovulation symptoms that can help you plan intercourse during those fertile days are cervical mucus changes, heightened sense of smell, breast soreness or tenderness, mild pelvic, or lower abdominal pain, light spotting or discharge, libido changes, and changes in the cervix. You should have intercourse on every alternate day from 10 th to 20 th day of your cycle to increase your chances of conception. I hope this helps. | 1,447 | Q. I started Deviry after negative pregnancy test. When can I expect my period? |
Hello doctor, I am 21 years old. I have been worried because my penis head has turned blackish and I have horizontal wrinkles on it. I masturbate once a day for the past three years and often forget to clean the sperm after masturbating. Please suggest. | Hello. I read your query and understand your concerns. I have gone through the attached images (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and it is true that there is some black discoloration at the glans penis (penis head) but it does not look like symptom of any illness or disease. In other words, it can be stated that poor personal hygiene can be the cause and exercising proper care during bath and otherwise can be of much use. I must acknowledge that images attached to the query are of low resolution but can be considered of average quality for the initial assessment. In case there is no improvement after improving personal hygiene I recommend you to post high-resolution images on the follow-up query. I must also inform you that slight black pigmentation of the penis can be due to the overproduction of melanin which is responsible for the color of our skin. This generally represents injury to the penis because of some injury due to aggressive masturbation which may be applicable in your case. So it is important to remain gentle with yourself when you hold your penis next time. I recommend you to wash with a mild cleanser and rinsing thoroughly so that dead skin can be removed which will change the color to the original. It is also recommended to use antioxidants and mineral rich diet in your daily schedule to rejuvenate the skin of the body. I hope this helps. | 1,448 | Q. My penile head turned blackish with horizontal wrinkles in it. Do regular maturbation be the cause? |
Hello doctor, This query is for my daughter who is 6 years and 7 months old. She lost her top primary incisor teeth (universal numbering -9) before four months. She still has not got the permanent teeth until now. She however, has lost the other three incisors and got the permanent teeth. Kindly do let me know if the above delay in the growth of these teeth is normal. She is taking Eltroxin 25 mg since birth. | Hello. As you mentioned your daughter is 6 years and 7 months old. Please confirm if she has lost all her upper primary teeth or lowers where the permanent teeth have come? Other thing is if all the upper four primary incisors are gone and three have come. Generally, we need to see which tooth incisor has not come out of four permanent incisors. If missing tooth is lateral incisor means next to two central incisors then we can wait and watch for another two to three months. Other scenario is if only one upper incisor is lost three to four months ago and the rest of the milk (primary incisors are intact) then we can still wait two to three more months. But if out of four upper permanent incisors, only one that too central permanent incisor has not come out, then it is better to take radiograph IOPA (intraoral periapical radiograph) x-ray first to rule out any hindrance in the eruption of the tooth or any permanent missing tooth. If possible click and share the picture of mouth (oral cavity) with teeth and send it across. Generally, a delay of one year in an eruption of permanent teeth is quite normal. But we need to confirm which tooth is missing and need to see the chronology of other teeth simultaneously to rule out any abnormal changes. Eruption delay if only one primary tooth was lost and counterpart permanent tooth is missing for the past four months. IOPA x-ray of upper front teeth. First need to examine clinically and then if needed IOPA x-ray. And depending on IOPA findings treatments to be planned. | 1,449 | Q. How long will it take for permanent incisors to erupt after shedding of milk teeth in a 6-year-old kid? |
Hello doctor, I am 21 years old with acne prone skin. I have lots of acne scars and pits from popping pimples when younger. I tried benzoyl peroxide and did not work. What medical procedure can stop pimples and heal the pits and scars? I am suffering from this for the past six to seven years. | Hello. Chronic acne with resultant scarring is an indication for treatment with oral Isotretinoin besides topical antiacne preparations like Benzoyl peroxide or Clindamycin. For scarring, there are cosmetic procedures like laser resurfacing or dermabrasion. | 1,450 | Q. Is there any medical procedure to heal acne, pits and scars? |
Hi doctor, I want to ask about the condition of my ear because I have pain in one ear and I had some fungi in addition to the tinnitus. I recently went to a doctor, so he gave me some drops to eliminate these fungi, but after getting rid of those few fungi, I do not hear as well as the other ear. Some blood started flowing, and the pain is more. I think that there are infections and something more dangerous because the blood has not stopped. Please help. | Hi. As you have rightly put it, there is a possibility of recurrent fungal infection what we call as otomycosis. This condition is very notorious for its recurrence even after treatment. Usually, usage of earbuds i.e. q-tip initiate the entire problem as often the cotton tip is not sterilized in a proper manner thereby introducing infection. The entire fungal blob can obstruct your ear canal, and you will have fullness along with itching and associated pain. It is very essential that the fungal blob be suctioned out completely not leaving backtraces of fungal hyphae as they can form another colony in no time. I recommend you to see an ENT to get this entire blob suctioned out. Continue to use the antifungal ear drops (I usually recommended a combination containing Clotrimazole as it is the most effective in treating such conditions). It will take a while before your ear gets back to normal and there is nothing you need to get stressed about as it is a very common entity we encounter in the outpatient department. I hope this helps. | 1,451 | Q. I get recurrent fungal infection in ear with pain and tinnitus. Why does it happen? |
Hello doctor, I am having a pea-like lump in my labia it is not visible but it is like a ball and painful. I have started having Ciplox 500 and applying a warm compress. Please help as I am very scared regarding what is it and how will it go away? | Hi. Your history suggests a Bartholin abscess or maybe a fungal growth. The growth actually needs to be seen before I can give you any coherent advice. But I definitely suggest personal hygiene, wearing cotton underwear and preferably sun drying your underwear to prevent any infection. Good diet and exercise goes a long way to provide immunity against genital infections too. For relief, I suggest you start a warm sitz bath and avoid intercourse for a few days. Any over the counter painkillers like Paracetamol can be taken if you have no known drug sensitivity. But if still your symptoms do not subside you may have to take antibiotics. I hope this helps. | 1,452 | Q. I have painful pea-like lump on labia. Will it go on its own? |
Hello doctor, I have semi acute pain in my left ear due to someone slapped in my ear while ragging last year. I did not visit a doctor because I feel uncomfortable about discussing this issue. But nowadays I feel a sound that is like when water enters our ear. Now, I have feared of phonophobia. Please suggest. | Hi. You might have developed an eardrum hole i.e. perforation since the eardrum is a very delicate structure and cannot tolerate a high volume and high impact gush of air. In such a circumstance, you will definitely have symptoms such as ringing sensations, feeling of air coming out, irritation, unable to tolerate loud sounds, and even decreased hearing. There is nothing to worry as the eardrum heals on its own in four to six weeks provided you follow certain precautionary measures. Precautionary measures include not allowing water to enter the ear. Place sterile cotton in the outer ear and wear a shower cap as well while having a head bath. Cotton places have to be changed every six hours during the day. There is no medication as such required unless your ear has got infected and there is discharge. In such a situation, the healing process might take even more time or sometimes if adequate care and hygiene are not maintained, the hole or perforation might not heal at all and might require surgery to get it closed. I hope this helps. | 1,453 | Q. I have pain in ear after getting a slap on my ear. What damage could it caused? |

Hi doctor, My 7 months old baby boy is dropping down his head occasionally. Sometimes, he has some mild jerks. Jerks were at the time after his feeding or after he wakes up. That time, he just swallows or lick his lips with tongue. Otherwise, his activities are very normal.

Hi doctor, My sister is 46 years old now. She got married 17 years back and have a girl child of age 15. For nearly 10 years, she is having abdominal pain, which will occur during the periods and will last for five days. It will start two days before periods and will last three or four days after it. The pain will be more and sometimes intolerable. It will not even reduce with painkiller and the pain will be more during night-time with the following symptoms. Lack of appetite, lower abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, indigestion, bolting and constipation. All these symptoms will persist until the pain is there. She had been frequently visiting doctors for treatment, but the doctor says that she has no major problem in the stomach. She was diagnosed with fibroid 10 years back and the size was small. The doctors also said that the fibroid will not have pain as she feel. Whenever the pain is more she used to visits the hospital. It will be six to seven visit a year and yearly once she will be treated with antibiotics for severe infection. During her last period 30 days back the pain started and did not reduce until now. The pain was so severe and for the last four days she had mild fever. So, she visited a doctor and he advised for a CT scan. After seeing the results he suggested to immediately go for surgery and advised to get her uterus removed and also said she might have cancer. When we went for a second opinion to another doctor, she said there is some uterus infection and advised medicine for that and asked to come back after two weeks. I have attached the CT scan and report, kindly comment on it. Based on the results, is there a chance of cancer, which the local doctor has said? The problem exists for nearly 10 years and many times due to intolerable pain, she used to roll on the floor, Is there any permanent cure for it? I have attached the prescription too. Can we continue it or should go for further investigations? Why infections reappear yearly? As advised by the local doctor, is removal of the uterus is necessary? Will it give a permanent solution? Please suggest me if any other investigation or treatment is needed or to be followed? | Hi. After going through the detailed information given by you, the issues I think need resolution are as follows: Regarding fibroid it need removal as that is an important cause of pain abdomen. It can be done laparoscopically at this age. My suggestion is to remove the uterus instead of the fibroid alone. For pancreatic lipoma, you should get a second opinion on this with gastroenterology specialists before planning fibroid surgery. Vaginal infections can be tackled easily. It is not a major concern. After gastroenterologist opinion, we will plan for MRI scan if required. Endometrial biopsy or dilation and curettage with pap smear is mandatory prior to definitive surgery. Surgery - Hysterectomy.

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.

Hello doctor, My daughter is suffering from cough for the past four weeks. She started it out very gently and it is getting worse. Last weekend she was coughing almost non-stop. I took her to a Walk-in clinic and they gave her a cough syrup and an antibiotic. I was told to start the antibiotic four days later if she does not get better. I have started the antibiotics after six days. But, she was getting weaker and coughing with choking. I took her back to the doctor. They told me that she might have whooping cough. I was not entirely surprised as she had hypoxia at birth and she did not get that one vaccine: the pertussis. She only got DT. From chest x-ray, we came to know that she had pneumonia too. But, not on both lungs and the x-ray was not entirely white, so it was a smaller pneumonia. By that time we were on day three of the antibiotics. They made a sample test from the nose for whooping cough. I was told that even if she has it the results might come back negative as she took Azithromycin. We were told to wait and see after the antibiotic. The result came back negative. The same night her cough got so bad that she was not getting any air. She was coughing without being able to breathe. She was vomiting and a tone of white long, phlegm or mucus came out with the vomiting. It was white, sticky and lots of it. In the emergency room they turned out that she had bronchospasm. They treated her with Albuterol and steroids. She was put on Albuterol for two hours there, then we came home with an inhaler. She has been using that three to four times a day ever since then. She has been very weak. They checked her again for whooping cough and that too came back negative. She took the second dose of Prednisone three pills. She felt better and was so happy. But, the next day she did not feel that good. Today, she had more coughs and it is a second sound behind the usual cough sound. This second one is like the laryngitis cough, but not barking sound. It is just a deeper cough. I am totally lost. I do not what to do anymore. She had a different kind of cough sounds throughout for almost a period of four weeks. Intense, barking, whooping cough like, silent, more loud and now this strange one. She is allergic on Amoxicillin, Ceftin, Bactrim and Cefalosporins. I gave her Mucinex to loosen the mucus. I would like to know what to do. Should I go and see a pulmonologist in person? | Hi. I have read your daughter's story in detail.

Hi doctor, About a month ago, I experienced acute pain in my right upper abdomen and that radiated to my back. It happened after I had a high fat meal that night. The pain lasted for hours and continued as a dull ache for the next week. I made an appointment with a gastroenterologist and he advised an abdominal CT. The report revealed that besides a mildly hydronephrotic kidney, for which I have already seen a urologist, everything else was normal except for the following. A focus of calcification is in the gallbladder lumen or the posterior gallbladder wall. The gallbladder wall is minimally prominent. However, the gallbladder is collapsed. All of my laboratory blood work showed that my kidney, liver and pancreas functions are normal. The gastroenterologist did not really give me any insight. He said to find a surgeon in case I have another attack, so that the gallbladder can be removed. I have found a surgeon, but I would like to get a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist. I have had a dull ache since the initial attack, but I have not had any more excruciating pain. Should I wait to get the gallbladder out if I do have another attack? When the report says focus of calcification, does that mean I just have one gallstone? Though I do not have any extreme pain, is this an emergency? Any advice you can provide would be helpful. | Hi.

For how long this problem is going on? Do you feel you bleed more or is it usual? There are many causes of irregular menses. Any mental stress can cause even your having exams or any other stress-related activity can affect the regularity. There are hormonal disturbances that can lead to menses irregularities. Levothyroxine dose (25 mcg) is very low. If you cannot do your blood tests I think you can increase it to 50 mcg and try to check TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) in six weeks hopefully until then labs will be open. Regarding nutrition, you need to eat a low carbohydrate diet without any sugary juices or added sugars in any way. Take a good sleep of seven to eight hours. Drink plenty of water at least two to three liters. If you practice intermittent fasting, it will give your health a great boost. | 1,498 | Q. My period is delayed this month.
