This month my period was late by 3days so thought i concieved n done home pregnancy test where in that T band showed an faint line so thought that im prregnant. but after 3 days it started bleeding ., so im not sure whether i can continue the course prescribed by my gynae or not.? So plz giude me.,eagerly waiting to conceive and my follicular study says that follicles are 15-18mm and got rupturing at that. not sure of the ovaluation. | Hi, a follicle ruptures when it reaches a size more than 17 mm. So, it might have ruptured in your case. It can be confirmed on ultrasound. Sometimes biochemical pregnancy occurs after which you can get your periods. So, if you have got your periods, stop all the medicines except folic acid. You can try same medicines next cycle also. Track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Don't get stressed too much. Hope I have answered your question.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi..I recently had bloodwork done and had a SGPT level of 125. The week before my blood test, I did take some steroid pills and OTC Advil Sinus due to a sinus issue for about a week before I did the blood test. I am 5 10 220lb and doctor has already advised me to exercise and change my diet which I am doing due to weight gain , yet I also drink alcohol occasionally...mostly on the weekends, and sometimes I drink a lot on weekends. The nurse called me with my results and told me not to be overly alarmed because it could be due to meds or a virus and to reduce my alcohol consumption. I guess what I am wondering, how bad is a level of 125, could the steroids and OTC Sinus medicines have caused a spike and how concerned should I be as far as any liver damage may be concerned. | The level of 125 is high, but you have many reasons to have this level. Alcohol intake, weight gain and yes Chat Doctor. I would advise you to quit alcohol, lose weight and avoid steroids. Have the liver functions rechecked after 4-6 months. You must also get an ultrasound done and viral markers(hep B and Hep C) done. You need not be alarmed with the value, but this value does suggest an ongoing liver inflammation so if care is taken early we can avoid father damage to the liver. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have oral lichen planus and dry mouth pre surgery. In July of 2013 I had oral surgery for cancer on my tongue. By the 5th day of radiation I was hospitalized as I could not even drink water because of the pain. I had a feeding tube inserted. A year and a half later I am in constant pain...some days better than others. My doctor recommended GelClair. This is in appeal with my insurance company. Do you know of any way to get a sample to see if this even works? My doctor called the company...no luck. I have to wear an uncomfortable chin strap to sleep or I wake up in agony. Forget the whole eating problem. So far nothing has helped for more than half an hour. Do you have any other recommendations? | Hello, I can understand your concern. Pain is the most common and ignoring complication after cancer detection and treatment as it is also a side effect of all the treatment modalities including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Gel Clair is a special formulation designed to mechanically adhere to the oral mucosa and thereby soothing the surgical and other lesions of the oral cavity. It has shown success in inflammation of the oral mucosa following cancer treatment and irritation caused by surgical lesion. I am sorry to inform you that there is no way we can provide you with samples of the molecule for trial. But I can sure advise you to go for it as it is worth giving a try in failure of other methods to control pain. If the pain gets intense, there are some advanced pain control options such as neurotic therapy and opioid deliveries etc. that can be advised to you and referred to the specialist performing them by your oncosurgeon. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if I can of any further assistance to you. Best, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I am 29/f and I have major pain in the lower side of my gut. it came on rather suddenly last night and I thought it may have been constipation as I hadnt had a bm all day and usually I have runny stools at least 2 times a day. Last night I took stool softeners and this morning I took stool softeners too. I was still unable to go, so I took an enema and had some success but not much. This afternoon I took a laxative because I was still in a lot of pain. I was finally able to go, and it was runny just like it always is (sorry for the details). I am still having severe pains in the lower left part of my abdomen or gut area. I havent had any recent surgery, I havent changed my diet or done anything strenuous. If I dont move the pain is just kind of throbbing or a kind of bloated cramping feeling kind of like menstrual cramps only more targeted to my left side. When I move however it is a sharp almost tearing feeling on the left side. When I cough, or blow my nose it has a sharp sudden pain too, though when I sneeze it isnt as painful as the cough. I hope this is enough details for you. I am thinking I will have to go to the clinic tomorrow when it opens. I just dont want to go and have them say that I just really need to poo. Thank you for your help | Hello dear, The causes of constipation can be:1. Any pathology/ sub acute obstruction in the Gastrointestinal tract2. Irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. 3. Functional cause-due to decreased gastric motility4. Inadequate intake of fluids and fiber rich diet.5. Hormonal & Metabolic causes, etc. Though symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of Laxatives, their regular use is not advised.

Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen, Colonoscopy & contrast studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms.

Tends to hurt more when I get up and moving around but feels a bit better when I lay down. I thought it might be an imbalance of good and bacteria so I started taking digestive health to help with potential gas problems. This has been happening for about a month. I have no fever. | Hi. Thanks for your query. Self diagnosis is the most dangerous thing that you can do. Since you have a problem of pain in left lower abdomen for a month with increase when you have to use bathroom or on getting up. Taking probiotics alone may not help. I would advise you the following:5-day course of an antibiotic and metronidazole. Probiotics and diet restriction - stopping all the foods and beverages. If this does not help, you need a colonoscopy and a CT scan of the abdomen. |

I fell forward over two stacked milk crates, did not hear a pop or have immediate pain, however, 20 minutes later i was unable to walk without pain in the lower left part of my back.

I am used to back pain from stress and strain, but this feels different. Should I ice it as if it is a pulled muscle, or heat it? | Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to muscle spasm secondary to the fall. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by taking analgesics like Diclofenac with serratiopeptidase (to be taken after food), application of analgesic+muscle relaxant ointment, ice compression & adequate rest. Physiotherapy therapy exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly get an X-ray of lower back done to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms. Take care. |

HELP please! | Hello, You are too early to detect an ectopic pregnancy with symptoms since you had the IUD removed 25 days ago and should you conceive so soon, which is rare, symptoms usually develop at four weeks of pregnancy. The pain may be unrelated. Yet, to rule out, you can get a sonogram of the pelvis if possible in the trans-vaginal route after seeing a specialist for a proper clinical appraisal of your situation.

Now he can move his body parts easily and still he is in medical supervision. he still have the BP problem and it is now 100/80 and taking medicine that is Amtas 10, Qpill 10 and hytide 12.5.

The problem still now is in speech and can not read and write fluntly though he is having speech therapy . can you advice me what should i do to improve his situation and how long it will take to became as previous. | Thank you for contacting Chat Doctor. Speech problems (aphasia) are common after stroke on the left side of brain (in right-handed people). This is because the speech areas (for both understanding and producing speech) are located on the left side of brain. Recovery is a gradual process and can take up to two years (though some people do not recover completely). The best treatment is speech therapy (which your husband is undergoing). There are no specific medications to improve speech. However, in some research studies, paracetamol has been found to be useful. You may use pitracetam (nootropic) 1200 mg twice daily for three months. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. |

And now my whole left side of my body is up higher than the right. I have never had problems with the scoliosis before. Why now and what does this mean for me as I get older. I am currently 24 female. | Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. In your query, you don't mentioned, why you have gotten an M R I. So please, if possible attach the report of MRI and also X-ray report. With these reports the exact position of deformity could be found out. Left side of body is up higher than the right side. It means scoliosis is from some time. Keep in mind early diagnosis and if necessary, treatment are therefore essential. Rate of progression of disease with deformity is hard to predict when we see the patient first time. Comparable anteroposterior X-rays of the ENTIRE SPINE should be taken every three months during first year so that exact nature of progression of deformity could be judged. Exercises for chest expansion is very much effective in these type of cases. Bending to the side of convexity is also important. Rotation in the appropriate direction to derogate the spine.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have pain in my upper wisdom teeth for the past one year. I had visited a dentist for a check-up. He did X-ray of my teeth and told me that food stuck between molar teeth and wisdom teeth is causing pain. So he advised me to remove wisdom teeth and filling process. But I am scared that upper teeth have a connection with brain and eyes. So, the process of teeth removal can harm my eyes and brain. Please advise me what I can do. If I do not remove my teeth, then what will be its side effect? | Hi. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This is a misconception that there is a direct connection between wisdom teeth to brain and eyes. There is no such relationship between the two. Wisdom teeth are vestigial and do not function if your other teeth are in good position. If you get it removed, there will be no problem to your eyes or brain. Let me know if there is severe pain or swelling so that I can prescribe medication for same. Take care. |

You need to undergo treatment so that you can have a child. Please consult your GAEC/Infertility specialist regarding the treatment required. There is a surgical option which you don't want & also there is a chance of failure in it.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hello my name is elizabeth and me and my husban lisban were in a car accident recently, he is currently in the hospital with inflamed lungs (swolen lungs) the doctors say that the cause of it was because during the car accident he vomited and swollowed it and went to his lungs, will he be ok? | It depends on the severity of the injury. What they are likely referring to is aspiration pneumonitis. Sometimes this is mild and only causes minor symptoms like coughing. On the other hand, sometimes this can be very severe and require breathing on a ventilator. His prognosis depends largely on the severity of the inflammation currently. If there is diffuse damage to both lungs, it implies severe disease. If only a small area of one lung is affected, it implies a better prognosis. I hope this sheds some light on the issue. |

Generally, when you have a 28-day cycle, day of ovulation is on day 13 so when the length of cycle varies, day of ovulation may vary and even if you do ovulate, many factors from your husbands side like sperm count and motility need to be good for you to conceived also you need your fallopian tubes to be patent also so if you are really anxious to conceive check the factors I have mentioned above and meet your doctor to get few tests done regarding your tubes and his semen analysis coming to the secretion, if it is for 1 time and little you may not worry but if the secretion is in more amount, smelling bad, itching if present and in case it is curry like(as in vaginal candidiasis) you need to meet your doctor hope I answered your query thank you |

Thanks, Abby | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint Flu or Influenza is a viral infection and treatment is mostly too symptomatic to relieve the symptoms of congestion, cough and fever. You can very well start taking Mobil which is antibiotic amoxicillin which will prevent bacterial infection which occurs commonly secondary to viral infection. You can take Tylenol for relief from pains and aches and fever. Take decongestants like Pseudopod Chat Doctor. . If there is phlegm formation you can take Multics like Aerosol. For congestion, you can also take decongestant nasal sprays, saline irrigation, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room. Do warm saline gargles and avoid spicy and chilled foods. |

Now a days I am worried especially about dust allergy, cough, difficulty in respiration while sleeping (especially in winter cold). My age is 24. Please suggest montek lc is worth taking. Please suggest some medicines and natural treatment and a healthy lifestyle for me. Thanks in advance | Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. First, I would like to know what is the frequency of your asthma episodes to make more helpful suggestions. I also would like to know what are the current medications you are taking and how they are effective.2. However, in general, I would like to suggest you to take montelukast-levocetirizine (Monteagle) in regular basis. I would also suggest you to use albuterol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms. If asthma symptoms are not controlled by above, I would suggest you to use regular asthma controller inhalers.3. I would also suggest you allergy testing for common airborne allergens - house dust mites, insect proteins, mold proteins, pollen, and pet dander (if you have a pet). This will help you to identify the substances you may be allergic to and also to know measures to avoid them.4. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms. I would like to mention here that most of the medicines except immunotherapy can only "control" asthma symptoms, but they do not improve allergy.5. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.5. I congratulate for asking about natural treatment and healthy lifestyle as many allergies-asthma have life-style roots. Natural remedies containing ginger, turmeric, black pepper, basil, etc. are known to improve allergy-asthma symptoms.6. A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants (i.e., adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also improve your immune system gradually.7. Regular physical exercise and breathing exercises including Panama & Yoga will also help you by improving your immunity and lung capacity in a long run.8. If stress is an important factor in your life, regular meditation and relaxation practices will also help as stress can worsen allergies & asthma. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. |

(Itching includes face and upper back, cant tell whether upper back is definitely a little pink or not.) Some cough the whole time, dry, not sure whether its illness-linked or asthma-linked (I have asthma).

I know net diagnosis is impossible, but is there any chance this could be rubella or rubeola? | That's a lot of medical history to consider online. Rash needs a real look to decide, by the looks it seems a viral infection more than a bacterial one. In the midst of your ongoing several therapies, suggest you to seek medical attention right away. Do some lukewarm salt water gargling to soothe the swollen throat area meanwhile. Allergy seems likely, but your immune status and medications will add the infective reasons as well. Cant say for sure on the diagnosis for now. |

The results were shown on a ct scan, he believes that the small holes may repair themselves, is this possible? I didn t thing it was possible to be reversed. Can you please help me with some information? Thank you kindly. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Emphysema is structural lung disease. It causes structural changes in lung. These changes are not reversible. These changes are permanent. The important thing is not these structural changes, but functional defect if present due to these changes is more important. So better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If this is normal than no need to worry about lung damage. But if PFT suggests obstructive defect than you need to take inhaled treatment. Chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are also important. It is good that you have stopped smoking. So get done PFT and star chest physiotherapy. Hope I have solved your query.

Four months later it still hurts to stretch or flex my right leg. I didnt fully have my split and i landed kind of wrong with my foot flexed. | Hello, As the pain hasn't come down over a period of 4 months I request you to get it assessed and examined under an orthopedist. As this might be due to either ligament sprain at the hip joint or nerve entrapment at the lumbar level. Due to which the motor movements of the muscles have been compromised. Since there was burning sensation I suspect a nerve pull. This needs rest initially and later a guided exercise program to retain the muscle strength. As joints are supported by muscular system it is always good to get a diagnosis under a physical examination and assessment by an orthopedist and take the call for MRI for hip or lower back. As you were doing splits there might be a labrum injury which needs to be assessed. Kindly have a diagnosis and then look forward for the exercise session under a guided physical therapist.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I am 10 weeks pregnant and for the more past for the last 10 weeks my ovaries have been hurting but for the last week it has really been constant. I have tried getting ahold of my OB/GYN but he has not gotten back to me yet. Is this normal for my ovaries to hurt? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. In the first trimester of pregnancy, your ovaries produce the hormone progesterone which normally is made by the placenta once it reaches adequate size. So it is not unusual in the first trimester pregnancy to feel pain in your ovaries. In addition, as your uterus stretches, you also may experience some cramping and pulling sensations, which can be on the sides. The only thing that is concerning is if you have not had an ultrasound this pregnancy to confirm that it is normal and located in your uterus. If you already have had an ultrasound for this pregnancy it is unlikely that there could be anything harmful going on, especially if you are not bleeding. So if the pain is severe enough that you cannot function, especially if you have not yet had an ultrasound, if you cannot reach her doctor within a reasonable amount of time, you may want to pursue care in an emergency setting. If you have had a normal ultrasound earlier in this pregnancy, you really do not need to worry, as your ovaries are normally examined as part of your pregnancy ultrasound and a large cyst would've already been detected. Tylenol, or acetaminophen is safe to use for pain at the normal adult dosage during all trimesters of pregnancy, and you can try to see if that helps with the pain. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, |

So the infection caused by the staphylococcus aureus will be same as that of MRSA.MRSA additionally has high resistant pattern to the routinely prescribed medication. But there are chance of the MRSA in future is on you. In my advice you should test yourself for the MRSA swab test from the nasal septum, umbilicus and groin. If the report state that you are carrier of the MRSA than you should take the mupirocin ointment therapy. This will clear up the MRSA from your system. And you are free from the symptoms even in the future. Along with this good hygiene keeping can help clear the infection away from the body in the future.

He has been to the doctor years ago when he was younger regarding this and they took blood but eveyrthing came back normal and the doctors didnt have any answers for this condition. Is there any natural remedy that he oculd try? | Hello welcome to Ask A Doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. For fatigue anemia should be ruled out by CBC investigation. Basic liver enzymes and urea, creatinine investigations also has to be done. Check thyroid problem by serum TSH estimation. If no specific cause found than EMG like investigation can be planned. Lack of sleep, overexertion, less meal, excess anxiety etc. also contributory factor for fatigue. I suggest you to consult physician for examination. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Chat Doctor. |

And I finished them but has a green phelmy cough with green pieces when I cough and have pain severe at times in my lower back on both sides - should I go back to my doc as I don t want to waste her time? Many thanks Carol | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe chest infection which could be due to lung infection/ bronchitis/ tuberculosis. Need not worry. I would suggest you not to ignore it at all as cough persisting so long along with back pain is an alarming symbol. Need not worry. I would suggest consulting pulmonologist as soon as possible to find the right cause of this and get chest x-ray done. Go for pulmonary function tests as well. You should give anti-inflammatory medication such as Levocetirizine. Till then, you should take steam inhalation. Take cough expectorants and plenty of fluids along with multivitamin tablets. Use mist humidifiers in room. Take decongestants and bucolic agents. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have hand tremor since last 5 yearsAnd since last 2 year ..I am getting severe pain in my entire body...I am suffering from different kinds of severe pain like burning, numbness, tingling in different parts of right side of the body from head to feet.Sometimes it happens in the left side as well.Sometimes I get the pain throughout the body but sometimes it is at particular parts like in the nerve from the ring finger to the wrist, just below the elbow, in the shoulder, right cheek, near the right ear,below the right ear at the neck, right side of the chest, in the waist, thigh joint, knee, and nerve from the finger of the feet. I feel numbness in one nerve from the knee to the feet. All these pain makes me weaker and causes fever almost every night.(The temp remains normal or low temperature nearly 97.5-97.8)The pain gets more acute with more physical stress. Any pressure in hand or leg increases the numbness leading to pins and needles. Sitting at a particular position increases the burning sensation and cramps at the back.I have hand tremor since last 5 years. But it was not causing much problem to me. But because of all these pain and weakness the tremor has also increased.Feel nauseatic normally in the morning because of Low BP(90/60) | HIT hank for choosing ChatDoctorAs usual you also have not mentioned here your age and sex, any way here is the answer (May not be much helpful). This could be essential tremor, but need to be differentiated with Parkinson's disease, this not a low blood pressure, it is your idea that low blood pressure induces the vomiting and nausea, in case of low blood pressure first symptom would be syncope, hope this will help you a lot Have nice day. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My 15 year old grand daughter was diagnosed today with cervical 2 ribs. She is a brilliant girl (As in all subjects). She dreams to become a doctor. What chances she has now? We are devasted. Please, help! | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your granddaughter s situation and problem. Cervical ribs are considered as accessory ribs. In 80-90 % of cases, cervical ribs are incidental finding without any symptoms. So if your granddaughter is not having any symptoms then no need to do anything for cervical ribs. They will remain as it is throughout the life. But in some patients, these cervical ribs can cause pain, blood flow obstruction, restrictions of movement etc. If any of these is present then surgical removal is needed. So if your granddaughter is asymptomatic then nothing should be done. But if she has symptoms then surgery should be done. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi i have just been 2 weeks of work with a very painful swollen left foot. after xrayz showing nothing an ultrasound was issued resulting in the finding of neutromata at the 2nd and 3rd web spaces. in addition a well defined hypo echoic lesion was also found adjacent to the shaft of 3rd and 4th metatersal. the ultrasound specialist recomennded a mri would be useful to find out more but my doctor suggests cortisone injection.. i am normally on my feet 8 hours a day as dog trainer with repetetive excersices and training with nmerous dogs. not getting a chance to have a break in between.. what would you recommend i do please | Hi, Although I could not make out what a "neuromata" in ultrasound means (maybe a typing error), pain and swelling there indicates a focus of inflammation. This can be from a local infection, injury to bones, ligaments or an outgrowth from them. As the monologist suggested, MRI is needed to exactly define the tissue of origin and type of the lesion-which is necessary for orthopedist to plan the management. Since it is an acute painful condition, few days off the job is unavoidable. Otherwise, this will further worsen the condition and delay recovery. Give rest to foot, keep it elevated, and take analgesics like ibuprofen for pain relief till the issue is sorted out. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was diagnosed with follicular carcinoma about for years ago. I had my thyroid removed and have not had any problems. In the last couple of months, I noticed a lump behind my right ear. It s about the size of an eraser and tender to the touch. I have also been itching where my incision was. It almost looks like some sort of rash. Is it possible that they are related to my thyroid cancer? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node. It may be due to some reactive hyperplasia due to infection. Or you may have some soft tissue tumor or cyst. Chances of follicular carcinoma metastasis is very rare. Follicular carcinoma rarely metastasize to lymph node. Still you should go for biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I have a question about plastic surgery to remove excess skin. About six months back I got sleeve gastrectomy and lost over 100 lbs. I was 372, now I am 257. I have a lot of excess skin around my abdominal area. Now I have seen stories about getting skin removal and also losing more weight. How does skin removal surgery work exactly? What do the surgeons recommend? | Hello. That is a really good change you have got after the surgery. Definitely, you can go for the excess skin removal surgeries, which includes tummy tuck, brachioplasty, thigh lift, butt lift and mastopexy to get the skin in good shape. But we do recommend that the weight reduction should come to a static position and maintained for around six months to proceed with the skin excision procedures. That will help in avoiding the same procedures again due to skin laxity with further weight reduction. For more information consult a general surgeon online |

I am also a mild smoker who is trying to quit. Started at 17 with the army and Im 31 now, I know Ive done some damage to my lungs. Ive brought up a bit of blood in a coughing fit and lately clear mucus. The clear mucus is almost transparent with bubbles in it. When pressed with a finger, pops like bubble wrap. Im really worried about COPD. | Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. Looking at your age, history and complaints, I would first think of allergies and asthma, however, coughing of blood is not a usual feature of asthma, unless your cough was very severe.2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you Chest X-ray and spirometry. Combining these investigations, your doctor will be reasonably able to decide whether you have asthma, COPD or something else, also what was the cause of coughing out blood.3. If it turns out to be asthma, I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you and also to know the measures to avoid them. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually improves allergy symptoms by working on immunity.4. If your inhalers were previously working and now not working, I would suggest you to increase dose of "asthma controller" medications after consulting your doctor until your diagnosis is confirmed.5. Regular breathing exercise will help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity.6. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am a 30 year old male. My height is 5 feet and 7 inches, and I weigh about 87 kg. For the past 4 to 5 years, I am suffering from indigestion. This got more serious in the recent years. It used to occur three to four times every week, especially after lunch. I sought medical help and went to see a general physician, who ordered for blood tests. It revealed most of the levels to be normal, except for a mild elevation of ALT and AST levels. Then he ordered an ultrasound which showed I have a fatty liver, though I rarely drink alcohol. Also, H. pyroli came out as negative. He asked me to take a healthy diet and avoid alcohol. For indigestion, he prescribed Rabeprazole 20 mg every day, which seemed to help, since I did not get any indigestion anymore.More recently, I developed frequent loose motions. On some days, I pass stools thrice and have excessive gas. Over this period, I had four to five blood tests, which revealed that my hemoglobin was gradually decreasing. The first blood work done three years ago, showed my Hb to be 152 g/L, then 148, 143 and now in the last month it was 137 g/L. Also, my RBC count dropped from 4.89 to 4.5 million cells. My latest ferritin level was 194 ug/L. I asked my doctor here, and he ordered FOBT test. All three samples showed negative and no blood was found in the stool. Recently, he has ordered for a colonoscopy which I am waiting on, and I am really worried that I might have colon/rectal cancer. My question is, does negative FOBT and normal ferritin rule out any cancerous growth in the bowel and intestine? I have hypothyroidism and sleep apnea. I have no family history of bowel cancer. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. So, discuss the above mentioned information with your treating physician.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m a 32 yr old female. I had a large cyst removed from my left breast when I was 14. Another cyst was removed in my 20 s about 6 inches north of the first cyst. I suspect I have a cyst in my jawline but have not been seen. I believe there is a cyst on my right ear lobe and a cyst in the back portion of my knee. I know it s not suggested to have them removed unless necessary. I m curious would they be from the same original location or are they different types of cysts unrelated? Is there anything I can do to prevent this. I m thin and healthy. I have hypothyroid but I have never been overweight. The only reason I had the other cysts removed because they were over 3 inches in width and continued to grow. | Hellos per the description of the clinical scenario I would say that having a cyst is very common pathology, but having multiple cysts at different sites is a little rare. However I would like to say that although cystic lessons are very common, but their cause is mainly idiopathic, and that's why it is not possible to counteract its probability. The definitive management for any kind and of cyst is surgical excision and hence if one has a cyst, it must be excised out before any complication arises. Thank you. |

It is probably not harmful to swallow your semen provided if you are very healthy and not suffering with any sexually transmitted diseases or any other infections.

Please advice | Hi. Sudden bleeding in the brain is usually caused by spurt of high blood pressure. Comparative shrinkage of brain with age and loosening of the protective coverings of the brain. If blood pressure is normal, this can occur due to local vascular anomalies. A contrast enhanced MRI of the brain may disclose local cause and also is necessary as a follow-up.

My left arm also goes numb and cold from time to time, particularly my pinkie and ring fingers.I have had a history of neck pain and I have had pain in my upper left chest and back area and my left arm numbness has been around for many years. It started after a weightlifting injury. I am wondering what this might be and if I should go to the hospital. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. This is most likely due to cervical pain, due to compression of nerves between spine. You should get X-ray cervical spine AP (anteroposterior or lateral view) and further may need MRI. You need to visit physiotherapist after X-ray and also an orthopedician. Till the time he can have tablet Neurobion Forte (Riboflavin, Pyridoxine, etc.) once a day which is a nerve vitamin. If this is not helpful, then you need to have tablet Pregabalin 75 mg bedtime, which is a nerve stabilizer. However, it is better to visit a hospital and get EKG done in order to rule out cardiac cause although appears to be less likely. You can also upload EKG here if you can get it done somewhere.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Good day and greetings from Manila, Philippines! i recently had a check up with a Gulf country accredited clinic (but not ISO 9001 clinic) as a requirement for my Qatar work visa. my first thought that would put me into light is if i have UTI infection. When the result came out i was surprised that the problem with my medical result is an Elevated Alkaline Phostotase but all other results that is connected to the liver is normal. I was very skeptical with their medical result considering that my older had a history with them that she was diagnosed with Granuloma, but she has no history of TB, Bronchitis, asthma and most of all she doesn t smoke or had long exposures with secondary smoke. After a month with consulting with the Philippine Department of Health her Granuloma was diagnosed instead of an expanded artery in her lung thus she was clear for a fit to work clearance. On my case, when i consulted clinic s doctor, I asked him what could have caused my elevated ALP but instead he directed me to paying another set of tests. When i shared my knowledge on the normal levels of the ALP which i believe is 44-147 IU/L or 30-120 IU/L, the doctor again refused to acknowledge my question and instead directed again to paying another set of tests and he said that in their clinic, the normal level of ALP is 114. I even asked if its in IU/L and still he didnt answer me though he told me that the result is based on what kind of test it was given and when i asked if they do the standard procedure i didn t get any answer from him. i had a medical check up with my employer which a day apart from taking my medical with Gulf accredited clinic with also the same kind of tests. the results of both medical check-ups were given on the same day and the result was i was cleared and fit to work on my employer s medical check up with no elevated ALP as it was normal but it puzzled when the result of my ALP in the Gulf accredited clinic was different. i am hoping for your quick, and detailed response as i am very puzzle because honestly, i don t really trust their doctor on house. i may sound harsh but upon hearing other people who have healthy living but given sickness because of their results, it really bothers me a lot. thank you for your time and hoping to hear from you soon. | HIS UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS.First I WILL SUGGEST YOU TO REPEAT YOUR ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE TEST IN A STANDARD RELIABLE LAB.IF IT IS CONFIRMED THAT YOU HAVE RAISED ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE THEN I Would SUGGEST FOLLOWING APPROACH.ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE IS PRODUCED FROM MAINLY 2 SOURCES LIVER AND BONE.LIVER CONDITIONS CAN EASILY BE EXCLUDED BY ULTRASONOGRAPHY WHICH YOU ALREADY MIGHT HAVE DONE.TO RULE OUT BONE DISEASE BLOOD TEST TO BE DONE ARE SERUM CALCIUM, VIT D LEVELS AND PARATHYROID HORMONE LEVELS.THE MOST COMMON CONDITION CAUSING RAISED ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE IS VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY WHICH CAN BE EASILY TREATED.

Masturbation cannot make you weak. Masturbation is considered healthy and natural. You are worrying unnecessarily.

Dr. Hain seemed to rule out this condition. What should I do in the way of trying to determine if anything can be done to alleviate my balance problems? | Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. I agree with your doctors that your balance problems may be related to the inner ear. But they also may be caused by the brain problems or vertebral artery narrowing. The long time you refer with these problems, is more indicating an inner ear problem. Vestibular tests can diagnose disorders such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and perilymph fistula, whicChatDoctormonly occur after head injury; and bilateral vestibular cytotoxicity, whicChatDoctormonly is a side effect of medication. I would recommend tests like electronystagmography, electrocochleography, rotational chair test, posturography, fistula test to find out a possible inner ear problem. A brain MRI may be needed if everything results normal. Hearing pathway tests (audiometry, auditory brain stem response, electrocardiography) can also be used for the same purpose, and are frequently combined with vestibular tests. After finding the cause of your problems than we can choose the right treatment. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I dont really know how to start describing my problem, but I noticed something a little disturbing in my partners behavior during sex. First of all, he experiences pain during intercourse and sometimes after. Secondly for a long time he couldnt come at all, now weve reached the point that he can (after more than an hour of sex) but he doesnt feel it. He is ejaculating but he doesnt have orgasm. What should I do about it? Ive never met with such a problem before, I tried to ask him whats going on but hes not really eager to talk about it. I hope you can help me. | HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have narrated I think your husband is facing a problem of Delayed Ejaculation and occasionally An orgasmic Ejaculation. The most common cause of delayed ejaculation or An orgasmic ejaculation is due to performance anxiety and stress or problems in personal relationship between husband and wife. Both of you need to consult qualified Psychiatrist for counselling and treatment. Chat Doctor. |

A small chronic lacunar infarct in the left thalamus is observed. There is no evidence of restricted diffusion to suggest acute infarction in the brain parenchyma. There is a mildly prominent CSF overlying the cerebral hemispheres secondary to moderate generalized cerebral and cerebellar volume loss rathat than subdural hygromas. The ventricles and basilar cisterns are normal in size. | Lacuna infarction are ischemic brain lesions less than 1Β cm in diameter. The first one described is not sure to be an infarction as it can also be a dilated perivascular space, witch can be a variation of normal anatomy or changes through a persons' life. I don't understand well the sentence before the last, but I suppose it's a brain atrophy caused by an old subdural hemorrhage. You should see a neurologist to value the risk factors for cerebral vascular disease and to treat the patient properly. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m 35 and had Varicose Vein Surgery IN Both Legs But IN THE Right I Had A Lazer Inserted From My Inside Ankle Up To My Crotch Area About 4 Years ago. My right leg is always in pain and cannot go a day with out my compression socks on and is slightly bigger now then the left leg (just from the knee up)most of the pain is inside part of my leg. I just had ultra sound done on both my legs and they said everything is normal and to wear compression socks nothing else they can do. I feel too young to have this kind of constant pain in my leg. I m not over weight and exercise regularly when my leg feels o.k. Could it be something else causing the pain? | Hi, as you mentioned you have pain in your lets I will make a small understanding here. What happens is, when the muscle is weak the metabolism is faster and the fatigue in the muscles occur faster. Which leads to the lactic acid production and later a pain. Performing regular exercises and progressing from mild to moderate to severe levels is needed. Also a need of endurance training is needed to improve the cellular mechanism. Since the pain is not lowering down and constant it is, I would like to know the nature of the pain, if it is like burning, numbness, radiating, etc. then you should take the MRI of lumbar spine as the nerve may be getting trapped in the spinal column. For this you can improve the strength in your core muscles by performing core stability exercises and spine Strengthening exercises. Also strengthening the hip muscles is of importance as the stronger the muscles is the better the venous return. Exercise is a slow a steady process which will consume a lot of time for getting progress. You may need to even improve your cardiovascular response to exercise as it will even help to maintain the hemodynamics of the blood and help you perform well. Including cardiorespiratory training is good for lungs and to improve the oxygen levels in the blood for detoxification. You can discuss the same with your vascular surgeon with the grace of God I wish you a good health. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Im having cough and cold since last 3 days. I cough for 5 to 10 sec and i feel breathless . the doc. has advised me Bro-Zedex. I took one dose today and started feeling weak, also sensation of shakiness in my body and is visible more clearly in my hands. Should I revisit the doc? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely visit your doctor again. Since you are not improving (rather worsening) with given medication, we should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case. Bronchitis causes coughing, breathing difficulty, weakness and tremors of hands. So consult your doctor and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Dr Samuel, I have just found out from my daughter, that she has leaking wrist, (not that I understand that is) but she said, it is called, Ganglion Cysts. Can you please explain this to me, and is it or can it be life threatening? I have Fibromyalgia, could this be associated with her getting this problem. Your Sincerely Michelle Moke | Hi, A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled swelling that develops near a joint or a tendon. The cyst can range from the size of a pea to the size of a golf ball. This is not a serious complaint. Ganglion cysts look and feel like a smooth, soft lump under the skin. They are made up of a thick, jelly-like fluid, called synovial fluid, which surrounds joints and tendons to lubricate and cushion them during movement. There is no need to seek medical attention unless she experiences pain, swelling or stiffness of the area. They can be removed surgically if needed. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | II I take Metoprolol Succ Extended 25 mg tab twice a day. Earlier this evening I ate a piece of chocolate and shortly after, I noted I was having palpitations. I took a Metoprolol tablet as it was time for my evening dose. I continued to note the palpitations. My son took me to an Urgent Care Center. An EKG showed no acute injury and an occasional PVC. EKG and Lab work showed no acute abnormality other than a rare PVC. Home now for a couple of hours and having more frequent PVC s. I called the Urgent Care and the ED physician had me take another Metoprolol as long as my systolic BP was greater that 120 and it was 190/63. I took the med and my BP is back to normal, but I am still having PVC S. A PVC occurs every 4th beat. I have no chest pain and no SOB. I do have a little discomfort in my upper left arm. No nausea and no SOB | Hello, Brief answer: Your condition just needs to be followed up. Explanation: My opinion is that PVC occurrence in your case was aggravated by emotional stress or eating chocolate which might increase the level of serotonin in your blood and caused such condition. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about their heart condition or their medications if any may causing that as a side effect, also check their blood pressure as high readings may lead to that. Conclusion: I suggest you check your blood pressure avoid any emotional stress and if so review with your cardiologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Sunday, I noticed my mouth, throat, lymph nodes on that side of my neck, left side of my jaw were swollen and crazy sore. I went pack to the dentist yesterday, the first appointment that I could get, and he told me that I had inflamation from the novacaine injection and told me to take motrin. I think I need antibiotics. I feel terrible, like I have the flu. My face hurts. The tooth with the filling feels fine though. How can I get this to get better? | Hello there, The symptoms you have mentioned like swelling, pain, enlarged lymph nodes can be associated with the allergic reactions of anesthetic solution injected during dental procedures. These symptoms will subside with time as the effect of the anesthetic solution will minimize. I would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or Betadine which will give soothing effect for sores. Continue with the course of antibiotic Augmenting 625Β mg along with analgesics like diclofenac two times daily for 3 to 5 days. I hope this helps, take care. |
