<s>[INST] Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? [/INST] Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out.

<s>[INST] What causes tenderness and soreness on my belly bottom? [/INST] Hello and thanks for your question. It is possibly a small hernia or a cyst.

Cysts are small fluid filled structures that can turn up anywhere. Neither one of these are dangerous but if the pain becomes severe you would need to see a doctor right away. Best to see your doctor soon to confirm the diagnosis.Thanks for using HCM. </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Can I use Kojivit gel to get fair skin? [/INST] Hi. One's skin color has 2 components. First one is genetic, which cannot be changed. Every skin color is beautiful in its own way and we should learn to love our skin color and augment it and not hide or lighten it. The second component is acquired, which is due to the influence of environment, sunlight, hormones, aging, etc. We can only target the acquired component of fair skin color while attempting lightening procedures. I suggest you antioxidant capsules like capsule Antoxid HC (Beta-carotene) and apply sunscreen lotion Lashield gel at 8 AM and 12 PM. Also, you can apply Glyaha koj lotion (Hydroquinone) at night time. Start with an alternate night application initialy as it may irritate your skin a bit and after a week or so, shift to daily night application. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the treatment with consent. You can go for chemical peeling or microdermabrasion from your dermatologist which will help in exfoliating and give you a clearer skin tone. All these treatments are free of side effects. You may use them for three months. For further information consult a dermatologist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? [/INST] Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] Extraction of upper molar tooth done, small portion of root remaining. Will complications arise? [/INST] Hello there... Root fracture occurs for various reasons. It depends on the root morphology and the way it is removed....The dental surgeon has to remove the tooth completely. A maxillary molar (upper molar) usually has three roots. Morphology at times can be different. There are situations where in you can retain the fractured roots. It is a fact that any root piece measuring less than 4 mm (few consider it 2-3mm) can be retained as it gets resorbed. Molar teeth are usually close to the maxillary sinus. Improper attempt to remove the root stump would displace it into the sinus resulting in unnecessary complications. So for the benefit of the patient we inform them and leave the root stump for resorption. It resorbes most of the times or it stays dormant. Any root fragment measuring more than 4mm should not be retained as it would lead to complications in the future in terms of cyst or interfere with healing or with your replaced teeth. </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Can I get infected with HIV after rubbing penis foreskin on wall or toilet seat? [/INST] Hi. No, you cannot get infected by HIV from a bedsheet or from toilet pans. Tingling and numbness occur due to many reasons. It needs evaluation. Remember, HIV can only live at approximately 8-12 seconds in the outside world and live up to 20 minutes in tissue samples. It requires a living cell with a CD4 receptor to live. Can you live in water? Same way, it cannot live in the outside world. So, do not get panic. It is transmitted in unprotected sexual activity and chances increase with ulcers on genitals, and it is transmitted by contaminated blood transfusion, needle sharing by drug abusers. So, be out of sexual activity from an unsafe person, say no to drug abuse and get blood only from a licensed blood bank (if you need a blood transfusion). For more information consult an HIV AIDS specialist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Does blood in stool occur due to diverticulitis? [/INST] Hi. There are two causes for the blood in the stool. The reason can be due to infection and reactivation of inflammatory bowel disease. In such condition, we should treat the infection first. The common infection seen is bacterial, sometimes viral infection may also occur like CMV (cytomegalovirus). It is diagnosed by colonoscopy guided with biopsy examination. If there is no infection, then we have to take a biopsy for IBD activity, and we can increase the immune suppression. I think you are not taking immune suppression medications. Uncontrolled IBD has a poor prognosis, and the risk of complications is very high. I will suggest a course of IV antibiotics in the form of Ceftriaxone and Metronidazole. You can take ORS (oral rehydration solution) for rehydration. You can take Pantoprazole. Diarrhea occurs due to infection or due to worsening of IBD. So it needs treatment. You need endoscopy for evaluation. You need to do CBC (complete blood count), LFT (liver function tests), CRP (C-reactive protein), fecal calprotectin. You need to do stool routine and culture examination. </s> |

<s>[INST] Swollen cheeks, pain in tongue and throat, bad taste in mouth, cracked tooth. Due to crab in tooth? [/INST] Hello & welcome, First of all, you are putting yourself on high risk by eating sea food even after having the knowledge of carrying its allergy. Never ever do this again as allergic reactions go on increasing in the severity with each episode & you may put yourself in life threatening situation. Now, your face & cheeks are swelled along with tongue & throat that's hurting that means you are in advanced stage of infection because of fractured tooth which is acting as main focus of infection. Only piece of crab remaining in oral cavity can not present with such swelling unless it's an allergic reaction itself. So, as you are in advanced stage of infection, intake of Antibiotics & painkiller on your own is not at all advisable here. Visit your dentist as quick as possible & get evaluated. This is because, if there is abscess formation it might need to be drained by incision which can be done by dentist only. Severe infection may require administration of Antibiotics intravenously to lower the risk of developing septicemia. Again I would advise you to visit your dentist as quick as possible because, if such infections if not treated on time may land you in life threatening condition requiring hospitalization. Take care. </s> |

This means that you should avoid consumption of anything and everything related to cow's milk - like - milk/ curds/ ghee/ butter milk/ chocolates/ biscuits/ ice creams etc. Even while buying commercial food products, you need to see the ingredients and if they contain milk - do not consume them.2. Feed you baby only exclusive breast feeds till 6 months of age and then start rice based feeds. 3. If this is followed scrupulously - the baby will stop having diarrhoea in another 3-4 days and then start gaining weight too.4. If you feel your feeds alone are inadequate for the baby, then Zerolac is the only option till 6 months age. I request you to keep me posted about the recovery of the baby and follow of the case.Regards – Dr. Sumanth </s> |

<s>[INST] Could bruises on legs be due the blood disorder? [/INST] Hello and welcome to HCM, Bruising on your legs couold be due to platelet disoder or coaugulation disorder. You need to get platelet count and peripheral blood smear examination to assess the status of platelets. If platelets are normal in number and morphology then coagulation tests have to be done- PT and aPTT. PT and aPTT will determine whether there is any abnormality in the coagulation pathway. Viral infections are known to reduce platelet counts and thus cause bruising and other bleeding disorders. Thus consult your primary healthcare provider for these investigations.

The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

<s>[INST] How can lower abdomen and groin pain be treated? [/INST] Hi Schofield ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.Even though it requires a clinical assessment for a proper diagnosis, from the history of pain in lower abdomen specially in the groin area would lead our suspicion towards a developing inguinal hernia. If this is the case, then no antibiotic would help, and anti inflammatory pain killers might temporarily give you some comfort. Therefore, I would advise you to consult your family physician/general surgeon in your area for a proper clinical assessment with related investigations like an ultrasound to rule out a hernia or any other intra abdominal pathology.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef </s> |
<s>[INST] Q. Is it safe to change the dosage of heart medicines to once every two days? [/INST] Hello. I have reviewed your health query and can well understand you are worried about your heart health. I would not say to stop Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) and/or Cordarone (Amiodarone) as these are very important medications and you need them. For stent patients, Xarelto reduces the risk of strokes, pulmonary embolism, and deep venous thrombosis, and clots initiating from the stents area. It is a blood thinning agent and keeps the blood running in veins and arteries without excessive clotting. Cordarone, on the other hand, keeps you away from heart rhythm problems like AF (atrial fibrillation). With the fact that you are having no arrhythmias while taking this medication, I do not think there is an obvious need to change the dosage. If your cardiologist gets some indication to reduce the dosage after examining you physically, that would be a different story. My final suggestion is to consult your treating physician before changing medications. Hope this helps. For more infiormation consult a cardiologist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] How to determine prostate cancer? [/INST] Hi,Thanks for writing in.Prostate cancer is confirmed by doing certain tests specific to the prostate gland. At first the serum PSA level is important and if this is high then the patient is recommended for a transrectal ultrasound of prostate. This will show any suspicious lesions. Any lesion in the peripheral zone of prostate is to be biopsied and this biopsy is done under ultrasound guidance. A little bit of tissue from the suspicious region is taken out with a needle and sent to the lab to study the cells. Only if there are cancer cells then a diagnosis of cancer is established. Once a patient is confirmed with caner of prostate, it is better to do a bone scan and ultrasound abdomen and chest X ray to know the spread of disease. If there is no spread and the tumor is smaller than 3 cm in size then it is in first stage. Terazosin is a drug prescribed for the treatment of symptoms due to an enlarged prostate caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy. Please do not worry. </s> |
<s>[INST] Is increased weight loss and heavy menstruation sign of cancer? [/INST] Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your daughter's situation and problem. Possibility of cancer is unlikely in her case because she is of 20 years. And uterine cancers are common after the age of 60 years. So no need to worry for cancer in her case. She is mostly having PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). And the most common cause is bacterial infection. Her symptoms like night sweats, groin lymphnodes, menstrual abnormality, weight loss etc are suggestive of tuberculosis more. So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination, microscopic examination of culture, endoscopic examination etc to rule out infective etiology. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks. </s> |
