Yet, if you have any doubt, you can get proper clarification by performing an estimation of the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles at least ten days after the intercourse. This can be followed up with a trans-vaginal sonogram a week after your expected period, if you miss it. Please use regular contraception in future to avoid such issues. Hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have had pain in my lower abdomen (ovaries?) for a couple of weeks now. It is, at times, sharp, stabbing pain and the rest of the time is just a dull pain. It stopped for the 4-5 days of my period and then started up again right away. I have also had diarrhea off and on for a few weeks now. | Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As regards your diarrhea is concerned, I would advise you not to eat from outside if you do, as most of the intestinal infections come from food and water which are prepared and kept in unhygienic conditions unlike at home. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and give appropriate antibiotics if need be to cure the intestinal infection. The pain in the lower abdomen could also be part of the symptoms of intestinal infection and not necessarily due to the ovaries. I do not know why the thought of ovaries came to your mind. However, to clear your doubts and to have peace of mind, you can go for an abdominal ultrasound if need be after getting assessed by a gynecologist. 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.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My son has been jaundice with severe itching for 11 weeks now. He has had a liver biopsy , mri, and numerous testing it seems this was caused by a work out supplement he took for 2 weeks. He has lost nearly 60 pounds . There was no indication of liver damage, doctor said it was the bile ducts. can you shed some light on this. | Hello! Thank you for the query. Jaundice due to bile ducts appears when the flow throughout bile ducts is either impeded or completely blocked. It happens when some small stones from gall bladder gets stuck in bile duct, when some mass is compressing bile ducts. Sometimes jaundice appears due to primary sclerosis cholangitis. In all this cases ERCP should be performed and if necessary with stenting of bile ducts. This ERCP will decrease bile pressure in bile ducts and should be a remedy for your son. Hope this will help.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I just started to have these sharp pains in my stomach and its rite below my belly button, and the pain increases and it feels like a contraction but rite when it feels like at its peek, I have the urge to fart and when I do its like its reliving it, but its not like that all the time, sometime its just the pain, but Im laying on my side right now and as I lean forward on my stomach I feel this pain in that area, what is it? Could it be from something I ate? Please help. | Hi and thanks for the query, It is very possible that this should not be sued to a problem with the physical nature of the stomach or your intestines. It is a functional problem, meaning that it arises mainly due to some abnormalities in contraction of intestines. There are moments when it can experience either very strong or very weak contractions with corresponding consequences on digestion. This either increases or reduces the movement of food along the intestines. Depending on the time spent, some bacteria, especially in the large intestines feed on this food, and produce lots if gas. Eventual passage of gas could relieve symptoms in some people. This could be seen in irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am 20 weeks pregnant and had a full congenital scan yesterday, I had a result that I have anterior placent grade 2, no previa.. I am looking on the meaning of this but found no good answer. I am also worried about the .87cm gastroschisis lateral to the umbilical cord found in the scan. What does that mean? | Hi, Anterior placenta, no prefix is a normal finding so need not worry about it. Just want to know if this is your first pregnancy or have you had a cesarean before? As if you have not had a cesarean before the anterior placenta has no significance. The 0.87 CMS gastrochisis needs to be rechecked again after 2Β weeks by ultrasound. It should subside but if still persists you will need a fetal medicine consultation and will need to speak to the neonatologist prior to delivery. The baby may require a small surgery after delivery to rectify it. This is best discussed after a repeat scan confirming that this finding persists. Hope this helps. Regards. |

What problems do we face because of that.And I have a Lower Back to left Foot pain through Hip. When I do work out My leg feels heavy. | Hi, How are you? I am sure your doctor meant your "He" is low meaning your "hemoglobin" is low. Thisessentially means you have anemia which is very easily treated with nutritional supplements. Being deficient in "Hep B" is definitely good as this means you do not have hepatitis B infection. I would advise you to get vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine to protect yourself against future risk of acquiring hepatitis B infection. Hoipe this helped and have a great day. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Why do I have a random rapid heart beat? Im 23 years old, 60 200lbs and never had any serious medical problems. I had asthma when I was young, but havent had any asthma symptoms for years. The random rapid heart beats are accompanied by shortness of breath and a dizzy/faint feeling. Should I be worried? | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read you question, and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something. There are different reasons that might cause increased, rapid heart beats. If your rhythm is regular, not chaotic but just fast maybe we are dealing with a simple sinus tachycardia. This means that your heart is beating over 100 beats for minute. If the rhythm is fast, rapid and chaotic it might be another kind of arrhythmia. This rhythm issues might have different causes. Simple physical or emotional stress, caffeine products might cause increased heart frequency so It's mandatory to avoid them. All sow, there are different pathologies like anemia, thyroid gland problems like hyperthyroidism that might be the cause of fast heart beats. Your asthma history is not related with these symptoms. When you experience a high frequency, it might be normal to experience palpitation, chest discomfort, dizziness and difficult in breathing deeply. If these frequencies are interfering in your normal daily live, If I was your treating doctor I will recommend some simple examinations. I will recommend an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echocardiography and of course a rhythm holder monitoring for 24 h. This is necessary to have a full view of your mean frequencies during day and night. After these, a full blood check up to exclude anemia or thyroid problems. Doing these examinations helps us understand if it is necessary to treat this high frequencies or not. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health. Best regards. |

I want to know how can we cure this or is it normal for his lip to swell up after anesthesia | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling is not common after local anesthesia. It can be a muscle secondary to biting over the lips when the lips were numb and causing trauma to the minor salivary glands in the lips. It can also occur secondary to inflammation following lip biting, or it can be secondary to residual infection. Consult the oral physician and get it ruled out.

Do have a little psoriasis, I believe, on my scalp. I know this can cause this lump but is it usually painful? How can I be sure that the psoriasis is the cause? | Hi, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. It appears from your query that you are suffering from psoriasis and along with it, you a have a pain fill ump behind the ear. Now you have not mentioned in your query since how long you have this painful lump. If it is from very short duration say for only few days then there is possibility of acute inflammation of lymph node. There can be second possibility of simple pyoderma of the scalp. IF the swelling was previously present and is now getting painful then there can be possibility of secondary infection in the cyst. As it is painful, so it is best to consult a dermatologist for the early guidance and treatment. Till that time you can take over the counter painkillers. Hope this information helps you.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have been having issues of on and off periods for nearly four years now. When I started my periods, they were completely normal, neither heavy nor light and nothing unusual. But, I started missing my cycle for about six months and then I would come back completely normal. My last episode of missing my periods had lasted for nearly 10 months and I have had no unusual symptoms, discharge or pain. I have been to my doctors twice and I have had an ultrasound, which came back completely normal, many blood tests and hormone tests, which also did not pick up anything unusual. I just want to get to the bottom of this problem. Is there anything else you think I could do? What do you reckon about this? I am not stressed, obese or underweight. I do not smoke or drink. I am a healthy 18 year old. Any of your advice would be very grateful. Thank you. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The menstrual pattern you quote sounds like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syn ChatDoctor. It is a hormonal imbalance characterized by menstrual abnormalities. To diagnose and classify the type of PCOS, following hormonal tests should be done on day 2 of periods. The timing is very important. Once you had all these tests done on day 2 of periods, I request you to upload the reports as it is the ratio of hormonal levels rather than their absolute values that are deranged in PCOS. Since you say certain hormonal tests were done and came out normal, I presume that your thyroid and prolactin levels were normal. Get them done too if the report is more than three months old. Please do tell me if you have already missed a period by a month in this cycle, so that I can suggest medication to induce periods. Please give the exact date of periods in that case. If you have not missed your periods yet, then wait for your periods and get the test repeated on day 2. |

But the color of my back hand ( top of my fingers) was lost, which i started getting back. It has been now over three years but the skin pigmentation is not normal. I have been asked to take Dicaris. I was reading about this med online which confused me if I should take this medicine or not. Can you please help ? | Hi, As you are having post burn leukoderma, simply having diaries(camisole) alone would not help. You might combine it with topical corticosteroids and tacrolimus. You can begin with medical treatment and continue with it for few months. However, if you don't get satisfactory response, a small surgery in the form of tissue grafting or melanocyte keratinocyte transplant would be a definite answer. These procedures are quite commonly done now and are minor surgical procedures with very good results. You need to consult a dermatologist with expertise in dermatosurgery for the same. Take care. |

Diabetes if uncontrolled there will be high blood glucose. This leads to excess glucose being excreted from urine causing increased frequency and quantity of urine. In turn there will be more thirst.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hii have just come back from a holiday in italy and venice. I have had quite a few mosquito bites in the last 7 days, and twice i have felt dizzy and light-headed (not sickness) that has lasted for approx 4-6 hours (from waking up til mid-afternoon). could this be caused by the bites and what should i do? age 38, male, 5ft 10in, weight 14stone, take medication for high blood pressure. many thanks | HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. I don't think it is due to mosquito bite unless you have fever (which can be due to mosquito bite). There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes. Simple causes are :1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness. 2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels. 4. Low Hemoglobin (Anemia)5. Inner Ear problems. Some serious problems are :1. Heart Problems2: Brain problem My advice to you is to get your Blood pressure, Eyes and Ear examination done and if they are normal kindly get the following tests and revert to me. Hemoglobin, Fasting and Postprandial Blood Sugars, Serum Sodium levels, Serum TSH, Serum Vitamin B12 levels checked and an ECG. Hope you find this information useful.

That is very good. 99% of the times this will work well, but her menstrual period may be delayed. At this point you do not have to do anything. If the periods are delayed more than a week then you have to check for pregnancy. If positive we have to deal with it then.

The swelling went down but the pain in myknee is still present. The vericose veins are not as noticeable. Is this a sign of a blood clot? I am not onany medication. | Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The blood pressure should be kept within normal range, i.e. under 140/90 mmHg. Therefore, I recommend you to discuss with your treating cardiologist or internal medicine specialist, to lower your blood pressure. Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers or angiotensinogen converting enzyme inhibitors would be a reasonable approach, at this moment. As for the various veins, I cannot conclusively say that this pain is caused from this condition. Even if it is a blood clot, it could be accompanied also with coldness and/or numbness and/or discoloration of the extremity. However, my opinion is that you should undergo an echo Doppler of the leg arteries and/or an Anglo computed tomography with contrast, of the blood vessels of the leg. I suggest you to further consult a vascular surgeon, to determine the stage of various veins, and plan further treatment, because the strategy of the treatment depends on the stage of this condition. A baby aspirin a day and quitting smoking would be warranted at this moment. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Feel free to ask again. Best regards, |

I have a 2-cm kidney stone and they put a stent in.I do not want to have surgery. I am scared that the use of natural remedies can hurt the stent or move the stone to block where I go to pee. I had a CAT scan at urgent care.Will they use local anesthesia for this instead of general or something else? Can the kidney stones come out from behind? I have diabetes. Can lemons and olive oil help treat this? Currently, I am on Metformin, Aspirin, Simvastatin, and Lisinopril. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. A 2-cm kidney stone is a fairly large one and it will definitely require surgery. I cannot recommend using any natural remedies for a stone of this size though they will not affect the stent. The stone, however, can move to cause obstruction again, but this is unlikely if the stent remains in position. The surgery has to be done under general anesthesia. The procedure used varies based on the location of the stone and your treating urologist. I would have to have a look at the CT (computed tomography) scan images before I can make a plan. I would recommend you to go ahead with the surgery as that gives you the best chance of getting your stone removed. For more information consult a urologist online |

Panic attacks can manifest with a variety of physical symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, nausea, heaviness of the head, chest discomfort, etc. Anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms, but with physical symptoms also.

Usually such pain arises when the infection spreads below the roots and thus in that case pain can be manifested both while biting and also on opening of the jaw. Instead of trying to chew from the other side I would suggest you to get the problem on the right side corrected by visiting a dentist because ignorance in case even if your pain subsides would only lead to further problems such as gum infections, bad breath etc. |

Thanks for giving good history. Since it is allergic rhinitis you have to use intro nasal steroid (Alone) is the gold standard according to WHOm. Alone is mometasone furnace which has almost nil systemic absorption, so there will be no side effects unlike any other Chat Doctor. Along with Alone you can also start on Singular(Montelukast) 10 mg if you are more than 15 years (5 mg for 6-14years) once daily in evening, and you can see improvement.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi doctor , i am 33 years of age My major problem is erections and also not coming semen at the time of intercourse with my partner. But when i shake my penis with hand it is coming . we are planning for childrens. Can u suggest me how to avoid this problem and tricks to release semen from penis to vagina easily. | Dear service user, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern about loss of erection, inability to ejaculate hence unable to have pregnancy. Ability to have sufficient erection and ejaculation during masturbation and not with the partner suggests psychological factors playing role behind this. Occasional failure can occur to almost every man in his life. When this happens, one gets concerned about performance during next sexual encounter. He thinks whether he would be able to satisfy the partner or not. So, his mind thinks mostly about quality of erection and performance. For constant erection continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in mind. If mind is diverted to concern about erection (being scared in your case), you will lose erection. This in turn reduces your confidence, and it again affects the erection. Behavior therapy like Senate focus under guidance of psychiatrist will help you. Wish you good health. |

Sometimes if Im sleeping on my stomach the pain awakens me the pain is sharp like a rock. No fever or chills, no foul odor with urine. Pain is intermittent. | Hello! Thank you for the query. Your symptoms are very characteristic for urinary tract infection. Lower abdomen is where bladder is located. During the night, when you do not urinate for some time, the amount of bacteria rises. You may also notice some trace of blood in the urine. Frequent urinating and burning while urinating can be present. I suggest you to visit a doctor, have urinalysis and abdominal ultrasound done. IN case of infection, antibiotics are necessary.IN a meanwhile please increase mineral water intake, try to urinate more frequently and start cranberries supplementation. Hope this will help.

In 2013 it was high 3+ negative. No urinalysis in 2014 so far. What does all this mean? | Hello and thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Usually we look at leukocytes in the urine as a sign of urinary tract infection. If the amount is very high then the likelihood is high for infection. If it is just trace then infection is less likely. This is an inexact test so when we see leukocytes in the urine we also send the urine for culture and this can give us a more exact answer to whether or not there is an infection. I hope this is helpful. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,My girlfriend has been taking Microgynon 30 for two months, with two packages back to back. She took Microgynon for suppressing severe PMS. The medicine successfully suppressed the PMS, but there seem to be some side effects. She experienced some spotting for a week, and the other doctor told me that it is normal for a microgynon-taker.Her actual period started the very next day after stoppage of spotting (which is late for two weeks), and it has been lasting for 18 days. In the beginning, the volume is lower than average, but red blood is visible. In recent days, the volume keeps increasing, and it gets me worried about whether some issues are occurring. Should I take her to a gynecologist for a check-up or it is entirely reasonable for a microgynon-taker?We did not have any sexual intercourse before and in the case for an extremely rare accident, she took a pregnancy test, the result was negative. Therefore, pregnancy could be eliminated. She finished her second package of Microgynon around 6/4, and the next day, the blood volume started to increase. One more question, she has a third package of Microgynon and the gynecologist we saw said that she should begin the third package when the second period stops. Is this correct? | Hello. Your doctor is right in saying that this is normal with the medicine you are taking. Microgynon is progesterone.

She has had one of her ovaries removed and the doctor just recently told her she would need to have the other one removed. She wont go to the doctor, but I think it could be serious. Why is she having these pains or peeing blood? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor Pain in the region of kidney and passage of blood in urine indicates some kind of pathology in the urinary tract. The most common pathology is the presence of stones in kidney or in the upper ureter. You need to get some investigations done. First and foremost an ultrasound of the abdomen. An X-ray of the abdomen is also helpful because the majority of kidney stones are radio-opaque (visible on X-ray film). If required some other investigations can also be ordered by your doctor like an Intravenous pyelogram (MVP). Secondily, complete urine examination which includes routine urine examination and culture. In case of urinary stone, infections are common which can be identified by urine culture. Antibiotic course will help to resolve the infection. The management of the stone in kidney or in the ureter depends on the position and size of the stone/ stones. They can be removed by simple laser or by open surgery. So, consult your doctor for investigations and management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

I understand your concerns. For ideal blood glucose control the fasting blood glucose should be less than 110 mg/DL, the 2-hour post radial blood glucose should be less than 160-170 mg/do. I am not sure of your mothers age as these values are patients who are less than 55-60 years old and who are reasonably in good health. As a person becomes older or if there is a diabetic patient who has multiple problems, then these target values would also be a little higher than too tight control of an elderly persons blood glucose will cause them to have low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) and this can cause in serious complications. I am also not sure how often your mother is taking the Glycimark M and the Logo 0.2 mg. Assuming your mother is less than 60 years old and that she is reasonably good health, if she is taking Glycimark M 40/500 only once a day then it can be increased to twice a day (15 -30 min before breakfast and before dinner). If she is already taking this tablet twice a day, then she can increase the dose of this, she can take Glycimark M 80/500 twice a day. Recheck her blood glucose levels in 2 weeks. If her blood glucose is still high then she can take Logo 0.2 mg either twice a day (if previously she has been taking it only once) or up to three times a day (if she has been taking it only twice a day). If at any point she experienced low blood glucose symptoms like sweating, hunger, dizziness, fast heart beat, mood changes etc., then it is the Glycimark-m that is causing the symptoms, and she needs to reduce the dose of this. The immediate treatment of low blood glucose is by taking a tablespoon of honey/sugar, sugar candies, glass of fruit juice or regular Pepsi/coke etc. This should be followed by a carboy Chat Doctor. Her blood pressure is fine, and she needs to continue with her Advance and Cretan. I hope this answer has helped you. Regards |

Never pick or squeeze pimples. Acne treatment is focused on (1) to unclog pores, (2) to kill bacteria, and (3) to minimize oil. Wash your face twice daily with a mild cleansing soap or liquid.

An alternative for those who are allergic to benzoyl peroxide is 2% salicylic acid. A variety of mild peeling agents (scrubs, exfoliants, and masks) can be used. These products remove the outer layer of the skin and thus open pores. Retinol (derivative of vitamin A) can help promote skin peeling.

What are the chances I could have contracted Hep-C from this tattoo? also I recently got the tattoo when should I get tested if I had any concerns? | Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Hepatitis C virus is transmitted only by blood. Unlike much other blood borne viruses (like HIV), virtually any source of blood or blood products seems to be capable of carrying the virus, even if the source is indirect, like for example - a used razor. This makes hepatitis C far more transmissible than most other blood-borne viruses. Hepatitis C virus is most frequently transmitted through large or repeated direct percutaneous exposures to infected blood. Hence, there is a high possibility of contacting infection with Hepatitis C virus by means of getting tattoo as it involves repeated skin pricks. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. |

Now I am very much worried what to do next. s there any chance for him to have sperms. Is there any treatment for this. Can we ever have children. I am 30 years old and he is 33 years old. In april 2011 I got conceived ,later micarried in june 2011. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your husband requires further investigations like S. Testosterone and biopsy from both Testicles. Sperms are generated in the Testicles. Biopsy study will tell us that whether sperms are formed or not. If only Vas deferens are blocked, he can try for re canalization. Whether he will be able to conceive you or not, all depends upon reports. You should consult a Urologist. Adoption can be a solution. Wish you & your husband good luck, |

She is not complaining about pain, and her eye is not watering anymore. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The red areas on the photo look like subconjunctival hemorrhage. These are benign lesions in which a little blood has collected in the empty space just under the conjunctiva. To get rid of this condition you need to ice the affected eye (ask your daughter to close her eye and apply ice in a plastic bag or clean cloth over the closed eye for about 10 to 20 minutes). It goes away on its own in a week or so. You need to take your daughter to an ophthalmologist in case, 1. She has a ChatDoctor. 2. The redness is persistent or increasing. 3. She has pain in her eye or pain on looking from side to side (moving her eyes). Hope this helps you. |

Is it possible one of my kidneys are damaged? | Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. Is it localized to lower back or the pain radiates to other location as well? Were you hit on the flanks or center of back? There are almost minimal chances of your kidney injury, if your kidneys were damaged, you would have problem in urine as well. It looks like your muscle or bones have been causing this pain. You can use painkillers for that. But you need to consult an orthopedic specialist for this. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask more if you need further assistance. Thanks. |

Understand your situation, but you don't have to worry. With what you refer, it does not look a series problem. The problems with heart beat can have different causes. In your age, the possibility that this comes from organic factors, such as a heart disease, is very low. I think that your situation is transitory. However, if the problem persist for a long time and becomes more frequent and disturbing than I would recommend that you consult a cardiologist and make some examinations to evaluate your cardiac rhythm and function, such as ECG, echocardiography and a holder rhythm 24 hours. After these tests results and evaluating the heart rhythm and its nature, the cardiologist will take a decision to start or not any medication. I hope to have helped you with my answer.

But I would like to say that, it's good that he stopped everything from his side. You will also agree that such relationships never lasts long neither based on trust. Depend on lust only. Such persons should not be trusted or should not be expected to behave properly. He might have got some others pray.It's sincere advice that never indulge in such type of relationships. Now concentrating on rejection part- It seems that he had not rejected you because you are not attractive but either he was such a person that he needs different girls to satisfy his sexual desire, so he got fade up with you, or he might have got some other new girl. So, the question is why to worry about breaking up with a temporary relationship. I accept it hurts . But be calm n cool and let it go. If needed specialist psychiatrist help can be taken. Its advisable that please go n see the specialist. Needed antidepressant medicines for few months. Rest up to you. Please don't repeat the past. Try to engage yourself in mature and secure relationships. Gives good meaning ti life. All the best. |

It looks that you are in a stage of septicemia, in which there is an increased WBC count and all the symptoms you have. I think you need an admission to the hospital, intravenous fluids and antibiotics along with orally acting antibiotics on the colon, probiotics and supportive treatment as per the findings on clinical examination and investigations. The counts to be repeated after 48 hours to see the response. Since you had 5 attacks, I would advise undergoing further investigations to rule out any general problem like diabetes, Cancer, HIV status and anything that can lower your immune system. Once the current problem is over, you have to undergo Colonoscopy, CT scan of abdomen and other investigations as may be suspected by the clinical examination and findings |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dear Doctor, my enquiry is regarding my son, he is 31 yrs old and has had juvenile diabetes since he was 23 years old. For a year now he is moody, very short tempered to the stage yelling and screaming at friends and family.Extremely prickly if questioned and gets very angry if plans have been made and then change, even if it is the slightlist change as in street direction or maybe lets go to the eatery next door instead. Did this come from his relationship break up or is his diabetes developing into something else. I feel he is depressed and hope it is not bipolar. He is very slim, and exercises a lot, probably not wholly following a good insulin plan. After being very angry with me he will phone and ask he we want to go out for coffee or lunch the following day, I see signs of the son I used to have. Am I overreacting? My plan if I can get him on the good day is to take him to a Diabetes specialist for a start and maybe some antidepressants for a kick start in the mornings, what do you think? Jacky | ! Jacky I really appreciate your efforts for the treatment for your son, and you are not overreacting at all. From what you have said in question I can say from my clinical experience that your son is having some autistic features (as he strictly follows the same routine and throws tantrums when routine is changed). His mood swings might be related to such events as I can guess otherwise he would talk to you normally. You have not mentioned so, but such people are also strict about their dietary habits and may go to extremes patterns to follow it. The point which is against autism is that he developed this pattern just a year back and not from childhood. Such features are also seen in a condition called OCD. You have said that he looks depressed, which can be seen in OCD (comorbid depression). You have mentioned mood fluctuations in which one side is that -- he gets angry and yells and screams, but the other side is not reflective of manic features, so, I donor think that he is bipolar. However, making a correct diagnosis the psychiatrist must interview the patient herself. One thing is definite that your son needs help and I'm sure that medicines will help him a lot, more than you may even think of. So, I would suggest that you must make a visit to a psychiatrist with him. When medicine will start showing effect his diet will also improve apart from his behavior, this will help in managing diabetes as well. You have asked if these symptoms are related to diabetes or not. Well, I have not gone across any such research work till now where diabetes itself is a cause for such symptoms in any patient. So, it looks unlikely to be so. As you have mentioned that he had a breakup, which can be taken as a stressor, I think it might be related to his current condition to some extent. Hope the reply is useful for feel free to ask more questions |

For example, if his testes had a damage due to oxidants, taking maxima could help. Likewise, if his count is low with a low stimulus from the brain with low FSH (hormone from the pituitary gland in the brain), his sperm count could go up with iPhone. I suggest you ask your husband to get an ultrasound examination of scrotum and a serum FSH, (preferably at 8 AM) if not done earlier. They may guide us in further treatment. Semen analysis also can be repeated now that he has been on some medication for over 3 months. Hope I have been able to help you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have had diabetes for 16 months now and I seem to be tired for reasons unknown. I am 76 and except for the recent diabetes, I am healthy. No other medications. No allergies. Is it the metformin or the humolog or lantus that is having an effect on my energy level? Thanks for your answer. | Hello have gone through your question and understood your concern. Low energy can be a symptom of hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia can be a side effect of Humalog or Bantus. At the other side unusual tiredness, or weakness can be a symptom of lactic acidosis, a side effect of metformin. Other symptoms of lactic acidosis include abdominal or stomach discomfort, decreased appetite; diarrhea; fast or shallow breathing; a general feeling of discomfort; severe muscle pain or cramping. If you do not have any of these symptoms (apart low energy), Lactic acidosis can be excluded. I suggest checking your blood glucose several times every day(for some days)fasting, 2Β hours after meals or random to see of you have hypoglycemia. In this case your insulines and your diabetes is the culprit of your low energy. If you do not have hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis, i suggest consulting your doctor for further investigations.(If the weakness persist)Hope I have answered to your questions. If you have other queries, feel free to ask.(you can ask me at Chat Doctor at my private link: bit.do/ChatDoctor- Chat Doctor. I will be happy to help. Take care. |
