ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | for nephrologist respected dr ,i am renal transplant recipient 3yr ago,my Hb is 10.2 gm/dl ,creatinine 1.4 .i am on mycophenolate 360mg tds and tacrolimus 1mg/1.5mg no steroid /earlier my creatinine remained around 1/1.2 mg my tacro level came out to be 15.7 today earlier 6 month back it was 6.0 / i m gonna get it repeated kindly advise thanx | Hi, It is necessary to know first what the range of normal levels for Tacrolimus (Macro) for the laboratory that tested your blood is to know whether the 15.7 is considered significant or not. Some authors would say that limits for tacrolimus are 5-10 while others allow the upper limit to ride out to 15. Therefore, if the lab range is the former you would be approximately 50% above normal and this could signal too much tacrolimus in your system. If the lab range is the latter then, the result of 15.7 is not significantly higher than normal... unless you are feeling some sort of symptom or experiencing some sort of organ insufficiency or failure over the past 6 months making it a significant number. Remember, in medicine often it's not the absolute number of a particular lab that is as important as the amount of change or even the rate of change of a parameter or chemical substance which determines the significance of that number. Your doctor who ordered the test would be best able to tell you if everything is fine or if adjustments need to be made to your medication. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder of brain, and it can't be diagnostic home without proper evaluation of a psychiatrist. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and showing poor memory. CT scan is a test that can detect any morphological lesion in brain, but it is not used to detect bipolar disorder or autism.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am a 33 year old healthy male. Last month, I had an unfortunate sexual exposure (condom\s head broke off). I quickly pulled out and washed the genital area with a bathing soap. After few days, I started having a slight itching sensation in the penis. I visited a urologist and he asked me to undergo urine routine and culture tests. The urine culture report did not show any bacterial growth, but the urine routine showed some abnormalities. I have attached those two reports. On subsequent visit, the doctor prescribed me a 10 day antibiotic course (Microdox LBX 100 mg) to be taken twice a day. In addition to that, he also asked me to wash the penis with Betadine Povidone-iodine solution twice a day. The antibiotic course got over two days back. But since then, I have been noticing a slight burning sensation after passing urine, especially during morning and afternoon hours. Today, there is a slight pain in the penis. I checked the area, but did not find any abnormality. Please help in resolving this issue. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.I have gone through your reports and I can understand your concern (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

How much to pay for it? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. To my knowledge, its a private hospital. You can always ask at reception. Has he seen an older scan, to notice it doubling in size.? Doubling seen on CT scan, may be due to tumor. Ask him what he suspects ? If there's a full-fledged operation theater, then only major surgery is done. Kidney surgery is done by laparoscopy routinely. Open surgery isn't done. In govt.

She is allergic to dust and seasonal allergy (pollen)She used to get fluid in the middle ear with mild ear pain for sometime often. 6 months back we had shown an E&T and he advised Tympanogram Test. Initially it was type B but after blowing nose and using Beta drops(saline decongestant), Tympanogram test showed type A. She is continuing Beta drops today Her Adenoid is enlarged (Grade 3-4), Tonsils is grade 3 now. It was grade 2 before 6 months. She has mouth breathing and snoring but she is sleeping ok (without waking up in between.) Right Tympanic Membrane is dull as per doctors latest investigation.Lymp node enlargement at neck which was seen in March2010 and sore throat has reduced. WBC count and all blood test Hymeogram with PS is normal . Primary complex test is negative. No active viral infection. Last 2 months she has no cold and fever and is active and playing.

Can medicines bring down the size of adeniods and tonsils(other that Beta drops(saline decongestant) that she is currently using)Please suggest.Regards,Pradeep | In Short-yes your baby needs surgery to remove adenoids and tonsilsDetailed answer- If a baby has recurrent ear pain/glue ear/mouth breathing and snoring frequently it is advisable to go for adenotonsillectomy rather than allowing the child to have recurrent infections leading to further damage to ears, growth retardation, facial deformities like high arched palate/crowding of anterior teeth.

Capd presumably is OK, although it would have been better had you mentioned details about that too. The symptom you are experiencing is Stranger & the cause for this & whitish substance appears to be Graveluria. Commonest cause of this condition is stone forming substances like oxalate, uric acid, phosphorus,calcium. This does not suggest infection therefore you may stop antibiotics. You may also stop cranberry tabs & reduce the quantity of cranberry juice to 150-200ml daily. Please mention all the details about your Chat Doctor. |

To my own such patients, I recommend giving some naturals like curcumin, Marcos powders and Sugar candy powder mixed together equally. These have the blood cleaning, anti-allergic action with anti-infective action on intestines. Works to balance vat pitta vitiation (Ayurveda principle) which causes allergies/ rashes.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 3-year-old complained once that his ankle was itchy. A day or 2 later, a pus-filled blister appeared. That one broke a couple of days later and I covered it with a bandaid & neosporin, but another one showed up. That one popped, then two more showed up on his other ankle. He has several bumps in both ankles that I assumed were bug bites but he s not bitten anywhere else. Could it be an infection? | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. From description, it appears to be pyoderma/ impetigo which is spreading from one site to another due to getting infected by pus from one lesion to another site like scratching by fingers. It is more common in humid and hot environment like rainy season. It needs to be treated with oral and topical antibiotics after confirming the diagnosis by your doctor or pediatrician. Mild lesions may respond to topical antibiotics alone. To prevent its spread make habit of handwashing and keep good hygiene. If it is recurring over a long period it may require long topical application of antibiotics at reservoir of infection. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing your child good health. |

Very recently I am forced to use it repeatedly at least 4-5 times a day for the past 3-4 months. I have been also having cold and cough for the past 3 weeks now. One doctor suggested that I start using Montek LC everyday. 2 tabs a day. I am worried if it would have any side effects. Should I continue using Montek LC forever or should I stop it after I get relief? | Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Brief answer:Monte LC may be helpful as a controller Chat Doctor. But you need not continue it forever. Detailed answer:Your history implies that your asthma is not under good control over few months. If I were treating your treating physician, I would advise inhaled corticosteroid for prevention as well as control of asthma attack and Stalin inhaler as required which gives you acute relief. I would also advise you to avoid triggers like cold, dust and other allergens so far it is possible. So my suggestion is: Please contact with a respiratory specialist to confirm the steps of asthma control and to get treatment accordingly. Hope this helps you.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I recently got married and trying to have a baby for he ladt 5 months. just got my semen analysis done. The outcome is: Sperm count. 11 million per ml Volume 4.7 ml Total sperm count 52 million Motility 9% Rapid linear motility 0% Morphology 3% normal sperm Please advise if its ok. If not how severe is the problem. If there is a credible treatment and how much hope i can have. Thanks | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor Firstly, Sperm count per ml is lower than required (normal is >20million / ml as per WHO1999). But total sperm count is normal. It's because, as per WHO, normal volume of semen is taken as 2 ml. But The morphology is quite devastating. Required motility is >25% active motile and total motility is > 50%. Morphology of the sperm is very bad. So, over all you have low sperm concentration with low sperm motility and mostly abnormal sperm. The semen analysis report is not OK. The problem is very severe. Consult with an infertility specialist for further investigation and management. |

Its been three weeks and the black eye and bruising have gone away but there is a hard lump under his skin at the impact location. Is this anything to worry about? He also sais its sore to the touch. | Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint due to trauma and injury caused to your son due to falling has caused trauma to the soft tissues leading to inflammation and formation of inflammatory exudate as well as trauma can lead to rupture of blood vessels leading to spillage of blood into the surrounding soft tissues leading to HEMATOMA formation and bruising. The soft tissues also shown signs of inflammation and there can be proliferation of fibrous tissues as well as accumulation of inflammatory cells in that area which can encapsulate the hematoma and there appears to be a hard lump. The black eye is also due to blood accumulation due to rupture of blood vessels. As the blood accumulated gets disintegrated the bruising gets subsided. But the lump formed due to inflammation and hematoma formation takes a longer time to subside, and you need not worry about it as it will gradually subside. I would suggest you to consult a physician and get evaluated for any underlying bony fractures and if it is present reduction of the fracture segments and fixation is required. In case if there is only soft tissue injury you can do alternate warm (not hot)and cold packs over the swelling. Application of thrombophob gel contain heparin sodium will help in faster dissolution of hematoma. In case of pain Tylenol or eugenic kid can be given. Hope your query is solved. If you find the answer helpful please write a positive review and click on find this answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. . |

I get them monthly and this happened after my 2nd deep tissue massage. I am concerned about the lump. | Hi, In most cases, this is just a swollen lymph node which doesn't require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibrous or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then it there is doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I had gone through your query. Giddiness requires neurological work up. CT scan and MRI will give better idea related to brain pathology. Giddiness can be a part of anxiety and panic. Anxiety and panic can be treated with medicine like combination of the SSRI and benzodiazepine. Low dose sertraline and paroxetine will be useful to counter stress and panic attacks.

Before any treatment you have to consult psychiatrist for better evaluation of your mental status and mental health. So consult and get help. I hope I have answered your question. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you further. Thank you. |

It is very safe, convinient, can be done at home by the patient/attendant. In this type of dialysis fluid is instilled into the abdomen through a pipe attached permanently to it. You can get in touch with a Nephrologist in person to learn more about it in details. I am of the opinion that if dialysis has been thought of then she will definitely get benefitted by this.

Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. Forum. You have been operated for pancreas, and kidney transplant, 15 years back. Yesterday you had sudden pain, and a lump, to the left of your bellybutton. First thing is It must be confirmed, what it is, by having an M.R.I.then consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. As it is already 15 years passed it should be confirmed from where it is herniated. It may be herniation from other parts also, not related to previous operations.

I read your query and I understand your concern. You do not mention the cause of your jaundice condition, but as I see, your liver function test reports show very high values. Are these your actual blood reports values? When did you make your blood analyses for the last time? In order to help your liver to recover quicker, you have to give it a hand by avoiding some foods, and eating some others. You have to avoid processed foods and fast foods, junk food including fats, sugars (consider carbs carefully and skip the sweets), empty calories, chemicals and additives as they can worsen recovery times. You have to avoid also alcohol, fats and fried foods. I would recommend you Chat Doctor. Regarding the question when can you resume eating fast foods, they are never considered as a healthy diet, but despite it, you can resume eating them after your liver enzymes get to their normal range. Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns or follow-up questions, feel free to ask again. Wishing you good health, |

You had no periods for 4 months. Pregnancy was confirmed to be absent. & the were advised the Promote N. 7 tablets & you have recently completed the dose. worried about not getting bleeding. After stopping the pills like Primal N, bleeding starts within 8 - 10 days. So, wait for your periods for a week from now, If you have periods, visit your doctor for further medication on PTH day. If you do not get bleeding, still consult a gynecologist for further assessment. The investigations advised in such cases are - CBC, hormonal assay(ovarian, thyroid & pituitary hormones), Blood sugar, serum prolactin, USG abdomen & ovulation study. Your physical examination & investigations reports would pinpoint the cause of your irregular periods. Doctor would offer you specific treatment. * You should plan a pregnancy with you having normal ovulating menstrual cycle & your husbands' semen normal.- This would definitely give +ve results.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,For the past one year, I have been suffering a pain in the middle-upper wrist area where I could not support myself while getting up from the chair. I went to an orthopedist and was given some medication and wrist brace with metal support to stabilize the movement. The pain started declining for six months, but it did not go. I did an MRI for it, and another orthopedic surgeon recommended PRP injection with a month cast as he could see it as a partial TFCC. After the injection and one month cast, 15 sessions of physiotherapy, the pain persisted, so another MRI was done to check the progress.The MRI comparison showed the following:A comparison was made with the previous MRI.The previously noted and described reactive bone marrow edema in the medial corner of the proximal lunate is progressed and also showed mild diffuse edema involving the whole lunate bone. I would highly suggest further follow-up for the lunate bone to exclude the possibility of lunate bone avascular necrosis.Minimal reactive bone marrow edema noted in the triquetral bone.The stable appearance of the lunotriquetral ligament with preserved joint space.Stable central and ulnar side intrasubstance TFCC signals with no evidence of major TFCC tears.More prominent joint fluid, especially in the recess around the ulnar styloid process.Slightly more prominent ganglion cyst measuring 4 mm noted in the dorsal aspect of the wrist at the level of the radiocarpal joint.No lunate or perilunate dislocation.Normal flexor and extensor tendons.Intact carpal tunnel and median nerve.No bony fractures.I am concerned about the avascular necrosis as the doctor mentioned we should wait another three months then reconduct the MRI to identify the need for surgery "bone drilling" and another cast for six weeks.It is now ten months, and I am losing most of my right-hand function, and I do not want to reach the final stage of my lunate bone dying. Please advise if there are any potential solutions without surgery, and if the surgery is needed, what is the recommendation. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your medical history in detail. It seems that you are having stage 2-3 avascular necrosis of lunate (Kienbock\s disease). I do not feel that you should wait as the disease progresses irreversibly. So it will not come back to normal by any means. I would suggest an immediate surgery (either bone decompression ChatDoctor. The last stage needs bone excision and fusion of other bones. If you could get the latest x ray of the wrist, I can precisely tell you which surgery is needed. |

I just assumed that was the tootChatDoctoring in. I was just chewing gum where this is happening, because it hurts, and a felt a popping sensation. I do not see any of the tooth exposed, however, puss and blood were coming out of the gum. | Hello your condition is called as peritonitis. Pericoronitis is a condition where there is inflammation of gums around erupted or partially erupted tooth. It is most commonly seen in wisdom tooth (third molar). This generally happens when there is no sufficient place for the tooth to erupt in the jaw. But the tooth tries to come out of the jaw. This results in partial eruption of tooth, and because of which there will be food accumulation and more plaque accumulation in that region resulting in inflammation in that area. It can also get infected easily and can cause abscess in that area (abscess =collection of pus). This infection can be painful and there may be difficulty in opening mouth and swallowing food. Do visit dentist, depending on severity antibiotics may be prescribed, once acute condition subsides a X-ray will be taken to ascertain the position of tooth. Based on X-ray findings and your age it will be decided whether it will erupt or not. If the conditions are favorable for eruption then a simple procedure is done to remove gums covering tooth and there by allowing it to erupt. If it is not favorable for eruption then it has to be extracted. Take care |

In my opinion you should get done ECG and TMT (Trade Mill Test) again. And consult cardiologist to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal than tobacco chewing can cause bronchitis. So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). And better to avoid tobacco as tobacco contains nicotine which is harmful for heart and lungs and can cause chest pain and shortness of breath. So quit tobacco as soon as possible. |

A hernia in this area does require repair. I would recommend you seek a general surgeon for consultation and surgery. If this is an umbilical hernia, one from the middle of your belly button then this is less of an issue.

As an Ufologist, I can understand your anxiety. Marijuana can never cure nephrotic syn Chat Doctor. You're advised to best discontinue its use further. A remission means, a temporary period or phase of improvement in symptoms.it may relapse again at any time. That's not a fixed period. You can remain in remission for a longer time, if you discontinue marijuana. Wish you well. |

Every once in a while I would get sharp pains in my chest. Well the last 3 days my breathing has increased. And chest has hurt and pains are crazy.

Last night I walked home with having horrible stabbing pains in my chest and my arms went weak.... What should I do and what does that mean? I m scared for the answer but I ve put this off to long | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Also get done chest x-ray to rule out lung pathology because your symptoms like chest pain, breathing difficulty etc. are seen in Pulmonary diseases. If this is also normal than you are mostly having anxiety related symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist. Get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Anxiolytic Chat Doctor. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. Recently while showering (after sitting on the pot) I noticed that there was a lump inside my buttocks, very close to where the anal opening is. It is quite hard and initially only hurt when I apply some pressure on it, but now while not very painful is noticeable throughout. I can also feel some bony or veiny structures around it. I dont think its anal or colorectal cancer as Im only 22, with no direct family history of cancer and show none of the symptoms, but Im worried that it might be skin cancer or something else thats serious. I dont smoke or drink (but admittedly do have a lot of chocolate and fizzy drinks, and not much fruit except fruit juices) and I dont have beef regularly. There are no signs of bleeding and my bowel movements dont seem to be much different. I have no idea how long its been there, but I only noticed it yesterday. Is this something that will go away or is it necessary to see a doctor (Im currently job-seeking and am not insured). Please advise. Thanks | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of skin cancer is less likely in your case. Common symptoms of skin cancer are chronic skin ulcers, not improving with Chat Doctor. These ulcers are usually painless and mostly on the sun exposed parts of the body like face, neck, hands, foot etc. So no need to worry about your gluteal swelling, it is not cancer. Possibility of gluteal abscess is more in your case. So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination and ultrasound examination. You may need surgical removal of this swelling. Also check for diabetes as diabetics are common to develop gluteal abscess. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Do I need to make a doctor s appointment, or should I wait and see if it passes? - no fever. | Hi, large Bowel movement which is creamy, and history of vomiting suggest that your child most probably has acute gastroenteritis, food poisoning like symptoms. This can also be due to overeating. If there is persistent loose stools are vomiting then chances of acute gastroenteritis are quite high, and you should get the child examined by doctor.

About 4 days ago, I woke up and the gums inbetween and just behind my two front teeth are swollen, sensitive and bleed when I brush my teeth. I have tried flossing but it is very painful. What is this from? Is there a way to make it go away or reduce the swelling? | Hello, Thanks for posting your query. It is good to know that you floss regularly. Regular flossing helps a lot in maintaining oral hygiene. Coming to your query, pain, swelling and bleeding in the gums could be due to inflammation of gums which can happen due to forceful lodgment of food in between two teeth because of a cavity or due to accumulation of tartar [calculus]. I would advise you not to floss now as you may injure the already traumatized gums. You need to see a dentist who will assess the cause of your agony. Taking painkillers for a prolonged time is not advised. You may do lukewarm saline rinses. But visit to a dentist is must. Hope that answers your query.

There are umbilical hernia, inguinal hernia, incisional hernia, diaphragmatic hernia. If you tell us what hernia it is we will be able to advice you appropriately. In general, if a hernia had been fixed using only your tissues, there is a good chance of it coming back because the very first reason why you have a hernia is because your tissues are weak and let your organs go out of their position, so repairing a hernia with only your own tissue will likely lead to a hernia coming back especially for inguinal and umbilical hernias. So surgeons will repair certain hernias by using artificial tissues called mesh to reinforce your tissues. I advise that you see a specialist general surgeon. |

Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor I think you have developed a large bruise Or an ecchymosis at the site of trauma resulting from fall. This is nothing but due to soft tissue bleeding and would resolve within a few days. There is no role of topical antibiotic like bacitracin because the overlying skin would be intact in a bruise.

Losing your best friend can be a very traumatic experience. The symptoms that you have mentioned is suggestive of stress leading to depression.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, My name is Melba Whitney, and I m 80 years old. I was recently diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy . I do not have diabetes . They can find no cause for the Neuropathy. Tried several medications. Nothing helped. I have severe balance problems and senior tremors. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Scolliosus and also Stenosis . No reatment available. I recently read something about laser treatment for Neuropathy. Are you familiar with this treatment? It s apparently covered under Medicare and supplemental insurance. Would it be a waste of time and money to try this treatment? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate to note that your peripheral neuropathy did not respond to the usual treatments. Also, no cause could be found. In some cases, it is not possible to find a cause for peripheral neuropathy. The best treatments for peripheral neuropathy are pregabalin and methycobal [vitamin 12]. Laser treatment may not work in your case. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I am 44 years old woman. Overall healthy. My right side shoulder hurts when I move it towards should level. It hurts when I sleep on my right side. It also hurt when I look to the right (towards the end of the rotation). It has been 3 months. I do not remember any injury hapenned. I just woke up and it hurts. I took neck x-ray and my chiropractor said it will take time to heal. All he did was crack my neck to left and right and do the machine that vibrate on my shoulder. He told me to ice it and take warm shower. Is there anything else I could do? | Hi, Thanks for your query. Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of Adhesive capsulitis(Frozen shoulder) or Calcific tendonitis. These conditions are easily managed by regular physiotherapy (Range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises). Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedic nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Your doctor after diagnosing the condition might refer to you a physical therapist. A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have anemia, thalassemia minor and Thrombocytopenia. I had an episode when I passed out last January. I am having cough since last 2 days and today while I was coughing I almost passed out . can you please tell me the reason or suggest me the treatment? | Hi, There is a medical condition called cough syncope which means that a person passes out (loses consciousness) when they cough very forcefully or become spastic in their coughing (one cough after another without being able to stop). What happens is that there is pressure inside the head that is built up with the cough (or series of coughs) that prevents blood from flowing through the carotid arteries into the brain stem itself. When blood flow to the brain stem is interrupted in this way a person can temporarily lose consciousness. In your case, you didn't quite lose consciousness because there wasn't enough pressure to completely stop all blood flow to the brain stem. The treatment is to discover what is causing the cough and to treat that entity. Eliminate the cough...or cough spasms... and you won't nearly pass out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I can understand your situation and problem. You are having breathlessness on exertion, and now it has been worsened and also associated with cough. So possibility of bronchitis is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out other lung conditions like pneumonia. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health.

I have been not eating chicken on some days and I dont have this issue. Could this be an allergy, if so could it progress and become worse? | Dear patient you could be having an allergic reaction. Usually it is contact dermatitis which is presenting as itching over your hands, but it can become generalized as the itching spreads to other parts of your body. Sometimes reaction can be even more serious even life-threatening, the best line of action would be to avoid all types of contact with chicken. I hope my answer has helped you. Regards |

Basically decision of surgery in case of MVP depends on degree of leakage of valve rather than dimensions.

How long have you been married? Are your wives monthly periods regular. You need to do semen analysis. Your wife needs to do hormone tests. If you are trying and not conceived since two years then your wife needs to do a test to confirm the patency of Fallopian tubes. Have you people done all this? I understand your wife took medications to induce ovulation twice. Was there ovulation as evidenced by ultrasound or serum progesterone test. If all your tests are normal and there was ovulation with medication continue the treatment for at least six cycles. Don't be anxious. You are a young couple and have a very good chance to conceive. I would also wish to advise regarding the following facts which are important. Your wife should take folic acid 5 mg daily you are smoker you should cut down on it.

If you have attained regular ovulatory cycles after the surgery, the time of ovulation can be predicted with ease even with increased cycle length. If you did not begin to ovulate yet, this medication helps to induce ovulation. It also helps to regulate ovulation through enhancement thus making it easy to predict ovulation and assist in conception. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care. |

It hurts badly...I ve been putting off going to the Dr to see if it goes away on its own..its been a few months now..and today is BAD! any advise you can pass my way..what this could be/ | Hello! Thank you for the query. Bright red stool is most likely caused by blood in stool which can appear due to hemorrhoids, anal fissure, inflammatory bowels' disease, rectal polyps or even colon cancer. Lower abdominal pain can be caused by diverticulitis (mostly left abdominal pain), large intestine polyps or cancer, inflammatory bowels' disease. As the pain appears periodically, partial bowels' obstruction is possible. I suggest you to do not wait anymore and visit your doctor. Physical examination should be performed, blood work, urinalysis, abdominal X-ray and ultrasound. The next step should be colonoscopy. Hope this will help. Regards. |

I can understand your concern. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum). And most common cause for this is lung infection. So in my opinion, you are mostly having worsening of lung infection. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray with abdominal shield (to prevent radiation exposure to your developing baby? 3. Sputum culture to isolate the causative organisms and sensitivity report guiding effective antibiotic therapy. 4.

I had a ekg this week and on the report it stated left atrial abnormally ,.ther wise i feel good | Hello, As you have atrial wall abnormalities, this needs a cardiologist intervention. He may examine the heart beats for any abnormal functions. Once he detects one it will be possible for him to take this further. I will advise taking up the Echocardiogram, as this may help us understand more about the atrium abnormalities. Also, there might be a change in the medication too which is required for you. The feeling in the left upper limb is numbness or its tingling? If numbness only then there might be a lack of blood flow to the left upper limb from the heart. This might need some BP measurement for now. If its tingling sensation then it might be due to nerve entrapment. Please visit the cardiologist, so you can get it assessed.
