Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor.> levocetirizine one at night for 5 days.> Montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. I would also suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.

okay, I am 30 weeks pregnate and I found out last week that I have HPV and that it is progressing into cervical cancer. They are waiting until the baby is born to do the biopsy for know for sure. Is it safe for me to have sex with my husband and does he need to be checked for HPV. We have only been together 2 years and before that I was married before. Does my exhusband need to be checked also?
|
HI, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. HPV is generally transmitted by genital contact. Apart from this hand genital route also can self infect & transmit to sex partner. * In my view as you are mentioning possibility of cervical cancer. I feel it would be best to avoid sex these days. In case it ACN now be. Use at least condom . To help transmission of the virus to your husband. Be careful with hand-genital transmission. * most of the subclinical HPV infections resolve completely by 2 years. So testing of your Ex husband can be skipped (better to get it done & exclude) BUT your present husband must be tested for the virus & treated as per the results. Thanks.

Had one episode of a fib brought on by dvt in leg and pulmonary embolism. Stopped heart twice before it regained normal rhythm. Had extensive testing done by cardiologist, including stress test with persantine and thalium. Result: small leak in one of my valves, but nothing to worry about. On pradaxa since March and have been having chest pain under breast bone annoying but not unbearable, accompanied by a flutter feeling, not intense like the 205 bpm I had with a fib and also .. I have a cough too. BP has been normal (take med) and heart rate around 60. Should I seek cardiac evaluation again?
|
HelloThanks for posting at Chat Doctor. I have gone through your history. Since you have been completely evaluated for the heart including a thallium and presenting scan, there is no need to seek a cardiac evaluation now. Since you had DVT with pulmonary embolism, it may be possible that some amount of lung tissue was affected by the embolism and infarcted. This may be the reason of cough and the chest pain. Another reason for cough can be lung congestion brought on due to atrial fibrillation. But you have mentioned that you had only one episode of AF so I suppose, you have reverted to sinus rhythm. In your case, I suspect there is a lung issue more than a heart involvement. I recommend a chest X-ray initially and if it shows any abnormalities, a HRCT chest to look for lung issues. Cardiac wise you need no evaluation except an ECG. Wishing you good healthRegards.

hi, iam 65 years old. i have severe tremors both hands for many years, getting worse, my dr diagnosed me with parkinsons disese and started me on sinemet 25/100 tid, however i have abdominal pain and headaches so I stopped , dr says it will get better with time, what should i do?
|
Hello am Chat Doctor. I have read your message. I think I should tell you that your doctor is probably correct. You see the abdominal symptoms and headache are also a part of Parkinsonism. The features are broadly known as Non-Motor Features of Parkinsonism. The stopping of medicines is not going to help you. In Parkinsonism, the dose of the medicine needs to be individualized. There is no standard dose that fits everyone. Therefore, I think you need to restart that medicine, and meet your neurologist again for dose modification. Best of luck,

Hi, doc! Last night I had the fever 99.9F, during the night I decided to take Ibuprofen and felt on the kitchen floor unconscious for 5 min. , then puked up for 15 min. This morning I still feel very week... Is this the food poisoning symptoms or some kind of nasty virus? Thanks.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I suppose you are suffering from Viral fever, Viral Fever is usually a self limiting condition, which usually takes 5 days for recovery. We can catch a virus from other person who is suffering from Viral fever through coughing, Sneezing. There is no indication for antibiotic therapy in Viral Infection, but our bodies immunity gets lower during a viral infection, and we can catch secondary bacterial infection, so if a doctor finds any signs or symptoms of secondary bacterial infection he/she adds antibiotics. Thank you.

Hi, I am a healthy 20 y old female who has been getting dizzy walking up/down stairs, standing up or sitting down, and even just sitting here. My heart rate goes up alot when I do these things too. I drink enough water and eat enough food. What is wrong with me? (I also am very pale alot so it might be anemia...?)
|
Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns. For how long you're suffering from it? Any other associated problem like diabetes or hypertension? Any goiter or neck swelling? Have you done your thyroid function tests? What is your HE? What is your heart rate? If I am your attending physician I will definitely get your FBC ECG and thyroid function tests. I will rule out the ATRIAL FIBRILLATION first, before labeling any pathology. Anemia does cause rise in heart rate, but you need to be examined by your doctor for proper management. Meanwhile, stay calm Get well soon Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.

I am a 40yr old female who had breast cancer in 2009. All treatments are now complete. For 10 wks I have had a constant stitch type pain in my left side under my rib cage. Some of my symptoms include black stools (only lasted 4 days) blood and mucus in my stools (lasted a wk) stools now normal. I have nausea n feel full quickly. I have pain around the middle of my back. Pain in my side is worse after eating and when lying down. Have been to doctor, tested so far for ulcer and helicobacter which are negative. Any ideas?
|
I would have liked to know the stage of your initial cancer and the treatment which you have undergone. If the pain is on the same side as the surgery then it could be related to the surgery itself and taking a painkiller should suffice. If it is on the opposite side or if it is not being relieved with painkillers then we need to investigate. A simple x-ray chest should be enough for the moment and will tell us if this is disease recurrence. The black stools are most probably because of stomach ulcers which are quite common. For that you should start Tab Pantoprazole 20Β mg twice daily for a month at least + Spy Machine gel 2 SF thrice daily. That should take care of the problem. Helicobacter Pylori is not positive in all ulcers.

Im a bit concerned about my father (54 years old and 54 ). During this month, he has been telling me that he sometimes feels pain in his chest, and feels a tingling sensation in one of his arms. We took him to a cardiologist, and he said that there is no reason why he should be having pain there. He believed it was just anxiety and prescribed him with anxiety pills and something to lower his blood pressure. He also said that he had high blood pressure, but the doctor said it was normal for a person his age. My father is overweight, but it is hereditary since my father follows a strict food diet and exercises. After a week of my fathers visit to the cardiologist, he did not feel the pain going away, so we went to another cardiologist. This cardiologist said the same thing as the previous one. Overall, my question is if the cardiologists are right? Isnt there more to my fathers pain than anxiety.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, that cardiologist doctor was not right. Anxiety should be put forward as diagnosis in chest pain without doing any cardiac reports. Chest pain with high blood pressure in 54 years obese patient should definitely investigate thoroughly for heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD), angina etc. So better to consult another cardiologist and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo. 3. Stress test 4. Coronary angiography (if required). He may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

Hello, i am wondering why the side of my lips are turning white. it is especially evident when i smile. i am 18 years old with asthma and skin asthma, i wonder if this is related in any way. by turning white, i mean it looks as though it has been stretch. thanks!
|
Hi, I understand your concerns. You are reporting to have asthma and skin asthma. I believe you are also taking oral medications like albuterol or steroid oral spray. The long term use of such medications would make your oral mucosa turn white. Another cause might be oral thrush or even anemia. I advise to:- run a complete blood count to rule out anemia in order to treat it accordingly- culture oral swab to rule out candida overgrowth and if you need further treatment-keep a good oral hygiene Discuss it further with your doctor!

I have had hemolytic anemia for two years now. And after several blood transfusions, try eleven and after four rounds of Retuxin, my hemoglibin is finally above a 12 or 13. Will I always have it or will is there a chance I can relapses? Thanks - Celine Quintanilla
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The course, treatment and management of any hemolytic anemia depends on the cause of hemolytic anemia. There are many causes of hemolytic anemia like disorders of RBC membrane, enzyme disorders, hemoglobinopathies etc. Thus, whether hemolytic anemia will recur or not depends on the cause of hemolytic anemia, its course, clinical state after treatment etc. Thus, you need to consult your hematologist for assessment and further management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

For about two weeks I ve been having pain in my upper right side on my ribs, about three inches below my arm pit. I haven t had any injury to that side. Taking Advil and Aleve helps, but if I move a certain way, it can take my breath away. It s more of a sharp pain. I would think this is what an injured rib feels like, but I haven t done anything for it to be injured.
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In your case we need to rule out pleurisy first. Pleurisy is inflammation of pleura. The sharp pain is seen in pleurisy. So get done chest x-ray to rule out possible causes for pleurisy (pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleural effusion) etc. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much for pleurisy. Muscle pain can be the cause. So start painkiller and muscle relaxant. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavyweight lifting. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hi Doctor, I have diagnosed recently igA Nepthropathy after a renal biopsy , my serum creatinine level is 1.89mg/dl & protein in the urine is +300mg. Now i am taking below mentioned drugs, Methylprednisolone 4mg Irovel 150mg( Irbesartan ) Esomeprazole Kindly check & advise below points, 1. How long can i live without a transplant or dialysis? 2. How long can I live a healthy life before the transplant? 3. Is this curable? 4. What about the pregnancy? 5. Is this is a serious case? Thanks for the support as I am in a deep trouble with this. If you needs i can send my biopsy report as well. B Rgds
|
Hi Latin Chat Doctor. Let me answer your specific questions. 1. You need to repeat the urinalysis and renal function tests every 6 months and monitored. If there is increasing changes, then you will need to go in for a transplant. 2. You can live a healthy life even without a transplant for more than 20 years, provided your renal functions do not decline. 3. Currently, there is no cure for IGA Nephropathy. However, therapies can be initiated to delay the onset of need for dialysis and transplantation. You are on the right medications for this. 4. IGA nephropathy is not a strict condition where in you cannot conceive. However, you need frequent follow up with the Obstetrician. 5. IGA nephropathy is the most common cause of glomerulonephritis in the world. It is a common condition and is not an acute life-threatening condition. Damage to the kidneys occurs over several years. I hope this helps. Take care.

Hi Dr, in dec I did a surgery for crown lengthening and now they did a cutting on my teeth. Since then I have this terrible pains and i thought it was an infection but they told me its not but they did not tell me the cause. Can you please tell me why i have this pains that painkillers cant help.I have flourosis.
|
Hellooo...read through your query...in my opinion I must say that the pain your feeling is due to exposure of dentin layer of tooth(dentin sensitivity).it happens on cutting the tooth without undergoing root canal treatment.exposure of the root during lengthening can cause this sensitivity...but nothing to be worried.after the completion of the procedure it will be reduced...nothing to be worried in this.u can use sensitivity toothpaste....till the procedure gets over...hope your benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!!

I have a strange pain in my xiphoid process area. It hurts to raise my arms, take deep breaths, lay on my back, stretch with my arms up and out. I can feel the pain constantly whether sitting or standing or lying down. It s pretty much feeling like I got punched in the chest all the time. I am certain it is not breast related. My ribs do not hurt except for that particular area. I cannot wear a bra or anything that will slightly squeeze the area as it causes a constant pain that feels like the area is a constant cramp. If i stand too long I get relief from hunching over as stretching the area just plainly feels like torture. In fact that s how I discovered the lump between my ribs. I have long hair so I put it up a lot and it s been painful to lift my arms to put it in a ponytail. I have noticed this pain for a while now. (Months) I ignored it because I blamed it on my back and the herniated discs I have. Three right around where my bra fastens in the back and three on the bottom L3-4 through L5-S1. Now it it unignorably painful and I realize it has nothing to do with my back. It feels like a tight gripping constant cramp in the middle of my chest right in my xiphoid process area. There s been no trauma or injury or explainable cause for this pain. There is a noticeable bump mostly hard it s about 3 or so inches long. I can t tell how wide. I ve had xrays and an ultrasound done within the last week and other than a small bit of fat on my liver (thats been there at least the last 16 years) there s nothing out of the ordinary to cause any concern. My doc has ordered a ct with contrast scan.im starting to feel like I am crazy but I m 100% certain I am in pain 24/7. I guess I m looking for any clues as to what the cause of the pain is. Feeling like I have been punched in the chest all the time is really uncomfortable. Any insight is much appreciated!

Respected user, HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* Many narrations have been given about the pain in depth, thanks for that details, but vital information about lump of 3 inches long is not there If it is externally seen, you are advised to upload its high resolution photograph (if no objection) and if possible reports till date as scanned copies of attachment.* At this juncture, I would tell this is not absolutely normal at all. MRI is strongly recommended for the same . Hope to clarify your query. Welcome for further assistance. Thanks for using Chat Doctor .com & giving opportunity to assistWishing fine recovery.

Hi doctor,I am a 34 year old female. I have been having terrible anxiety the past month. I wake up feeling very uneasy and nervous. Almost shaky. I also feel like I literally cannot breathe. I have to take deep breaths constantly. I went to an urgent care and they tested for a blood clot in the lungs, but I was cleared. My doctor put me on Lexapro two months ago and I stopped taking it. But then the anxiety got so bad that I started again on it two weeks ago. My fear is that there is something wrong with my heart. I have had this before and chest pain. So, I have been to two different cardiologists. We did stress tests and echoes. I am afraid these doctors are blowing me off because I am active. Please advise.

If anemia present start measures to improve hemoglobin.day rich in iron like joggers and fruits like pomegranate and Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,My doctor recommended I get an MRI of the prostate and kidney. I have visible blood in the urine after exercise. We suspect it is a result of prostate laser surgery several years ago, but the doctor wants to rule out other sources of bleeding. I am okay with MRI\s but will not agree to get an injection of Gadolinium contrast after reading the latest study showing long-term retention of this toxic material in the body.Ultrasound: I also read there is a new, safer contrast media using some type of "microbubbles" for use with ultrasound to detect blood flow. Questions:From a diagnostic perspective, is it absolutely necessary to use contrast with the MRI\s?Would ultrasound with contrast be of diagnostic value? I appreciate any suggestions. It is very difficult for a patient to get knowledgeable answers to these types of questions.I had prostate laser surgery several years ago to improve urine flow with large prostate BPH. After surgery, I had visible blood in urine for nearly two months. Since then, I have been experiencing bleeding after exercise (for example, 5K run, tennis, basketball, etc.). Bleeding usually ends in few hours but recently experienced greater duration of bleeding.
|
Hi. Prostate MRI is one of the best noninvasive techniques to asses any condition of the prostate. Gadolinium is a contrast material used for better delineation of any suspected lesions. The chances of adverse effects are higher in people who have a kidney condition. However, you may proceed with a plain MRI of the prostate to get a basic idea of any lesion of the prostate and there is research showing that Gadolinium contrast is not absolutely needed for prostate MRI. b for evaluation of prostate. Transrectal ultrasound prostate may be done without contrast but gives less information than an MRI scan. You may also get PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels done and get tested for any urine infection. Regards. For more information consult a radiodiagnosis physician online

Severe pain along right hip pain goes down my leg to knee cannot put weight on right leg. Pain also in my lower back. Given moraphine shot.and 3 sterile shots no relief. Taking hydrocodone and wearing patches for pain. Can you give me an idea of what is happening please
|
As per my view I strongly suggest it is related to sciatica or there is problem with your lumbar spine. It can be anything related to your lumbar disc. I suggest doing MRI for your lumbar spine. Get it checked by or tho and physio and follow a proper treatment program with medication and physio therapy. Because only taking some painkiller on your own will not help you much, and it may become more also. On top of this you can try with hot and cold pack application at your hip and back level where it is paining to reduce some inflammation, increase circulation, and soothing effect on soft tissue.

HelloThanks for query. You have been indulged in frequent masturbation since many years and now facing problem like Erectile dysfunction. Frequent habitual masturbation practiced over years causes problem like ED and Premature Ejaculation. You need to restrict this habit which requires self-determination. Please try to reduce the frequency of masturbation by keeping yourself busy in activities like sports, reading, social work etc. so that you will not get free time to masturbate. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I went to my doctor today, he said I have intestine spasm. I dont really understand what this is, I have a lot of pain in my left side and in my lower quarter of my stomach and in my lower back. I got medication but it hasnt given me any relief yet. Would you have any suggestions as to what I can do to relieve the pain and would this go on for long periods before it would clear up or get better?
|
Hi, what ever the pain is it should be cleared, first, to avoid the shock due to pain. Except in some surgical cases, pain can be relieved by medicines, immediately, before the disease is cured. The causes could be urinary tract infection, stone in the ureter, near the bladder, colitis, etc. I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods. Thank you.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever with shivering since 30 days which is something you should be worried about. Possible causes for this fever are urinary tract infection, tuberculosis and viral infection. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get complete urine culture examination done and apart from that get CBC, ESR, chest x-ray and sputum examination, tuberculin test done. Till then take antibiotic along with Ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.

Hi, my periods are 10 days over due. I did urinary pregnancy test by strip twice it was negative both the times. My consultant here advised me to take primolut n twice a day for five to triger mensturation. please advise if it is ok, as I am still confuse that it is pregnancy.
|
Hallow Dear, If 10 days after the missed period the urine pregnancy tests are negative, probability of pregnancy is very less. If you are still in doubt, for further confirmation, you have the following options:1. Repeat the test on the overnight first morning urine sample. This urine is concentrated on the Chat Doctor hormone and hence the test will be more reliable. 2. Get Beta Chat Doctor test done.3. Get ultrasonography done. If any of these tests reports are no pregnancy, then what your doctor has prescribed is a right treatment to get your menses. Take Primal N or Devilry tablets for 5 days. You will have with Chat Doctor. I hope this helps you.

Hello, my blood pressure is usually 170/110. It sometimes rises to up to 230/150. I am diabetic and taking insulin. Sometimes my blood sugar rises to 180 and up to 250. I have LDL 123 and HDL 40. The ratio for cholesterol was 5.44 on my last lab test. I had 265 for triglyceride. I also have Hepatitis B with some swelling and irritation in the liver with normal liver lab tests. Please let me know how dangerous this on my heart and other organs.

I got hit in my lower leg by a baseball last night. Now my leg hurts in frront where I was hit but in the back as well. My left arm which is same side as leg is hurting like I ve pulled a muscle. No swelling of the leg or bruise. Just wondering if I should be concerned?
|
Hello, As there was a direct impact of the ball to the leg there will be a direct bone hurt by the ball. Since tibia is one of the strongest bone of the body as it has to carry the weight of the whole body chances of any major injuries are less common. But for a safer side, an x-ray will be good if any difficulty is faced because hairline fracture can happen but not a major one. Also, the leg muscles in the anterior compartment are less bulk compared to the posterior compartment, so any direct impact happens it's majorly to the bone and fascia. This will heal with hot water fermentation and rest. In case if any visual abnormalities are noticed an x-ray will be guided. For the pulled muscle in the upper limb, allowing it to rest and doing hot water fermentation initially should help reduce pain. Most sports injury cases of the leg region over the tibia are conservatively managed and not much to worry. Once pain comes down the exercises for the weaker group of muscles can be done to regain the strength. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

I am a 33 yr old female in otherwise good health. Have low ferretin count (7?). Arms and hands fall asleep at night, even when I m not sleeping on them. It wakes me up and I have the pins and needles feeling. Could thins be due to low iron? Anxiety? Something worse?
|
Hello, As you have this numbness and tingling I think this won't be due to low ferritin count. This could be never entrapment in the cervical spine and need a clinical examination and a diagnostic test of MRI be done. Using a soft cervical collar and hot water fermentation should help reduce the pain. Doing static neck exercises and upper limb exercises once pain reduces will help regain good outcome score. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

MY SON PLAYS FOOTBALL AND GOT HIT IN HIS PRIVATE PARTS BECAUSE HE WASNT WEARING A CUP. THIS HAPPENED ON THURSDAY. ITS SUNDAY AND HE CAN BARELY MOVE. HES IN QUITE A BIT OF PAIN. SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED, AND IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO RELIEVE THE PAIN?
|
HelloThanks for query. Your son is getting severe pain in testicles after sustaining injury due to football 3 days back. In view of the hit over private parts the possibility of injury to the testicles has to be ruled out. Consult qualified General surgeon for clinical examination and get Ultrasound Scanning of the scrotum done to confirm the same. Taking anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Further treatment will depend upon result of the scanning and final diagnosis.

In my blood test today, the platelet count is 133 instead of normal range 150-400. What does this mean and how can I improve it? The report also mentions anisocytosis. Can you please elaborate. Blood pressure is low like 90/60 for last couple of days.
|
Hi, thanks for writing to us sharing your health concerns! In the present case of mild thrombocytopenia, if I were your consulting physician, I would just say you, nothing to worry! As per your description, you have platelets adequate for ones normal health but a count of 133 could be low to some hematologists and in some methods! Manual platelet count is necessary for confirmation. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about this as platelet count is so variable and might be reduced due to some flu-like conditions; once you are in good health within few hours/days the count will be normal. In case this is constantly low or decreasing then please write to us again. Anisocytosis relates to RBC morphology and some degree of endocytosis is seen in normal health but when in severe degree, it might suggest some kind / cause of anemia. Please mention your HBO level also! Low BP is treatable with good protein diets, high fluid intake and salt in foods/ Chat Doctor. . Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries. Wishing you the best health!

Hi,I have been experiencing pain in both upper and lower abdomen for the last 2-3 months mainly lower abdomen and groin area. I went to the doctor and they tested for both uti and pregnancy. Both of whicChatDoctore back fine and i have had numerous blood test also. The doctor asked me if i had been spotting or not due to being on the implant for the past 2 years and i hadnt so he never seemed worried but said if i did start spotting or bleeding to let him know. Well the thing is i have ultrasound scans on tues but the last 2 days ive been spotting but its not dark red its bright red blood. Would you say to go to the doctor asap or wait until i have my scan and tell the person on the day.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. You had pain in the upper and lower abdomen, mainly in the lower. Urinary tract infection, and pregnancy tests are negative. Doctor asked for alerting if there is spotting. As the pain is in the upper and lower abdomen also, the cause could be due to gastric or gallbladder also. Other causes of lower abdomen could be due to appendicitis, tuberculosis of Clio cecal junction. Urolithiasis, (stones in the urinary tract.) or intestinal worms. Your scanning report may reveal some idea about the diagnosis. Wishing for a quick recovery. Best regards.

Hi Doctor,I am 30 years old male. I have recurrent allergies which involves by nasal tract and throat..happens because of dust.. Over the years, I have experienced that I am very allergic to dust. And whenever this happens, I get fever also and feel tired and exhausted. A family doctor has advised taking Montek-LC tablets once a day for three months.. What should I do?
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. I would like to ask you a few more questions like - Since what age are you having the symptoms? Did you have any time breathing difficulty or wheezing? Does your occupation involve exposure to fumes/smokes/dusts? What is the frequency of your symptoms? Do you have more of nasal congestion or more of running nose and sneezing? However, from your given history, I would make following suggestions to you:1. Were I treating you, I would also prescribe you a combination of montelukast and levocetirizine (just as your family doctor has suggested) for at least 2-3 months regularly.2. If you have severe nasal congestion or features of sinusitis (such as headache, facial pain, etc.), I would also add a short course of intranasal corticosteroids in addition to above.3. In addition to above, I would suggest you regular steam inhalation which may help your resolution of symptoms earlier.4. Personally I would suggest you allergy skin testing which may identify the substances which are causing troubles to you and the measures to avoid them.5. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. Please do not smoke if you smoke. 6. A healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals (e.g., adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also help you in a long run. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Wish you a fast recovery and the best of the health. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Thank you & Regards.

|
Dear Had The numbness which you describe could be due to cervical disc pressing on one the nerve roots as they exit from the spinal cord. If you don't have any other symptoms and the problem is not progressive I suggest you get proper advice for physiotherapy as that is the one which can help you. You must understand that if this is because of disc problem then it is a mechanical problem and none of the tablets are going to help you for that.

My father is currently 55 years old and suffering from extremely low RBC/iron counts. He has had intravenous iron treatment twice a week for the past four weeks and his numbers continue to drop. His WBC is normal and lymph nodes feel normal upon examination. Along with this he is suffering from fatigue, weight loss, decreased appetite, low grade fevers at night, as well as depression. HIs doctors are slowly using the process of elimination to figure out what is going on but any suggestions as to what to test for next would be greatly appreciated!
|
Depression, when is coexistent with such medical illness, is, really difficult to diagnose. Because symptoms of low RBC etc. and symptoms of depression are cosmonaut, if your father has :depressive cognitions" or your physician says that his reporting symptoms are in disproportionately excessive to the level of iron / lo RBC, then depression can be a possibility In such cases seeking a psychiatrist consultation and starting an antidepressant should help. But remember, some antidepressants have side effect of lowering the blood cell counts. Discuss all these issues' wit your physician and psychiatrist before taking a decision Wish your father a speedy recovery

Hi doctor,A few days back, a brown spot appeared halfway on my thigh. By the same night, it grew and it was black. In less than 24 hours. Small brown spot turned black and grew in just a few hours. It is flat. I am writing this a week later. The edges are flaky now. It has a slightly rough texture but the edges are peeling in not picking it. Do you think it could be melanoma? I am brown in complexion but had an aunt who died of skin cancer.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The bigger brown patch is cafe-au-lait macule and the small one is probably an atypical nevus (attachment removed to protect patient identity). That is not melanoma clinically to me. Melanoma is very rare at a young age like in your case and obviously very rare in brown skin color. You are doing good that you are doing skin biopsy for tissue diagnosis so that no confusion is left but it is less likely to be melanoma.

liver is normal in size (9.6 cm) with moderately coarse parenchyymal echotexture. Intrahepatic biliary tree is not dilated. portal and hepatic veins are not dilated. no focal lesion seen . [everything other is normal. i have history of hepatitis B virus]. what will be interpretation of the statement above?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Fatty infiltration and fibrosis give a coarse echo texture of the liver parenchymal. However, in your case, since the liver is of normal size with no dilatation of intrahepatic biliary tree, portal and hepatic veins, there is nothing much to worry about it at this stage. Since you have positive history of Hepatitis B, regular follow-up is necessary and kindly get it done as recommended by your doctor. Hope the information provided helps. All the best. Chat Doctor.

My husband has a lump under his right rib cage and feels that it grew a bit larger after helping someone push their car. He went to clinic today and thought they would tell him he has a hernia. They were not able to push it back in. What on earth could this be? We are scared... They did tell him they do not think it is a hernia.
|
HI, Welcome to Chat Doctor with your query. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to have an Incarcerated/Impacted Spiegelman Hernia(if it's on the right side of the center) Epigastric Ventral Hernia(if it's in the center below the rib cage), out from central weakness in the Line Alba of the Rectus Abdominis sheath. The very fact that existing lump under right rib cage has grown bigger after pushing the failed car, confirms this lump to be from existing Spiegelman / or Epigastric Hernia.USG study of the lump in the rib cage would confirm the obstructed/impacted herniated contents, which are non-Reducible.Thus, the diagnosis comes down to-Impacted Spiegelman Hernia right side. Surgeons Second opinion would confirm its exact nature and would plan treatment accordingly. Hope this would help you to plan treatment with your doctor. Will appreciate hitting thanks and writing review comments to benefit needy patient visitors at Chat Doctor like you. Good day. Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist. M.S. Genl-CVTS.

My daughter is 52. She has been to a Dr. for a sore hip. she s telling me he said it was a lapal tear. she s not sure. could you tell me anything about this? She has had several injections, she said were cortisone shots. are the shots harmful, or are they using something different?
|
Hello and welcome, Probably she has labral tear of the hip. The hip labrum is a ring like soft tissue that surrounds the hip socket. It provides stability to the hip joint and lubrication for smooth hip movements. Labral tear of the hip usually presents with clicking sound on hip movements, stiffness and pain. Corticosteroid injections in the hip joint (e.g. cortisone) are used as a strong anti-inflammatory medication to treat labral tear of the hip. They usually provide long term pain relief by decreasing swelling and helping smooth movements. Frequent corticosteroid injections in the hip joint may damage the joint cartilage. It is recommended no more than 3 corticosteroid injections in the joint in a year to prevent the cartilage damage. Besides corticosteroid injections other hip joint injections such as platelet-rich plasma injections (PRP) are used provide effective care. Injections nearby tissues of the joint are also used to relieve a pain.Your daughter may also benefit from physical therapy. It helps to maximize hip range of motion and stability. In some cases surgery is indicated to treat labral tear of the hip. I hope the above information will be helpful for you. Please, feel free to ask me if there is anything else you need to know. Thank you, Malik Among MD

Ive woken on two occasions 3 weeks apart with excruciating ripping pain, in the upper right abdomen, immediately beneath the rib cage, very difficult and limiting movement after this, improves slowly over days - still very sensitive to touch (even wearing a bra). Just had ultrasound and sonograph cleared Liver and Gall Bladder - any other thoughts?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It may indicate some other liver disease such as hepatitis or liver cyst as well as some pancreatic issue. Also it may be temporary bile duct obstruction by stone which may have pass so undetectable by ultrasound. But yours symptoms by my opinion is more like neuromuscular pain, so it may be intercostal pinched nerve or pulled muscle. Take painkiller in next several days together with muscle relaxants, and I am sure you'll feel better soon. Wish you good health. Regards

I have a lump at the base of my middle finger. Its sore when I move my finger and hurts to push on it. I have an appointment to see a Surgeon on the 28th of this month for other lumps on my body but non of them are as hard as this one. Should I try to get into my family dr prior to my appointment?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. If the pain is only in the bump area, and no swelling, redness of surrounding tissues, no need to visit a doctor earlier. Such bum is most likely a ganglion. It's a kind of cyst filled with gelatinous fluid. This fluid comes from the joint as ganglion is kind of joint herniation. It does not increase the risk of cancer. So you can wait till the scheduled surgeon consult. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done. The lump should be removed. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hi, I am a 19 year old female. I found a fairly large lump in my right breast that has been there for over a year. It has grown alot, im not exactly sure how much, since I last saw my endocrine doctor. I also have hypothyroidism and have been on synthroind 75 and sometimes up to 100 mcg. The lump in my right breast is very hard and it is tender to touch. I have very small breasts so it is hard to tell if it is completly mobile or if it is the surrounding tissue moving around too. The right breast has dark blue veins surrounding my areola, while my other breast has none. And the nipple is a little larger too. Sorry to get really personal. Thank you for your answer and your time.

Hi, Dear,Welcome to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts of your query, You seem to suffer from-Fibroadenosis with ? Adenoid. Investigate it with Mammogram and USG to fix the diagnosis. Get USG guided FNAC Biopsy. Treatment-Continue treatment for Hypothyroid. Take treatment for Fibroadenosis-with Painkillers/Oral-Pills to correct Hormone imbalance at this age /IF Homeopath is done -Surgical Excision of this Benign Breast Tumor is advisable in your case for the large size. Else fibroadenomas is benign and not hurting. Engorged Veins -would go off on its own. Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.

Hi. As per your case history you are having an Chat Doctor. Finasteride 1Β mg and minoxidil are appropriate treatment. Side-effect of premature ejaculation from finasteride is reversible one and usually seen for initial few days of starting treatment. As alternative treatment u can take Saw-palmetto extract tablet once daily and Minoxidil 5% applicationThree months of above treatment will have satisfactory results. Thanks

|
Dear member, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The tablet paternal has multivitamins and certain factor which improve sperm count and motility. It is also important that along with this the diet is good with plenty of green leafy vegetables and no smoking. The tablets have to be taken for 3-4 months at least to see any improvement. If both you and wife are normal then you can consider ovulation induction so that. Improves your chance if pregnancy. Thanks Chat Doctor.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely suggest that you are victim of your own negative thinking. You cannot term your current state of mind as clinical depression. Rather, this is just disappointment. Over and above, you are imagining things which are common to all people. The "bacteria" in your vision area is a common sight for everyone. Regarding your stomach gurgling - We broadly call it obsession. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

I did take metformin for diabetis but then two years have gone by and I lost eight and changed diet.Blood sugar stayed under 100. Went off med last year. Broke leg and have had pain and stress lately just took blood monitor and registered 163. Can I take metformin now after not taking it for so long?
|
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor Going through your History I don't know what was the indication to make diagnosis Diabetes ? As you are telling that you are not taking any medicine for diabetic and your sugar was under 100 mg/DL. But earlier your Blood sugar is 163 mg/DL. According to American diabetic Association the RANDOM BLOOD SUGAR is beyond normal range but earlier you was on Metformin kindly check Fasting Blood Sugar and HbA1C and contact to Endocrinology. These are two basic parameters to make diagnosis diabetic. Absence of these report it will be difficult to explain about Diabetic Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have a cleft palate and sometimes food gets stuck in my palate, usually I can dislodge it with a toothpick or by gargling water. If it feels like the piece is still there is there anything else I can do to dislodge it, or will it self resolve,any danger of infection?
|
Hello, If there is a cleft palate, then food lodgment will be a daily based problem. Whatever you will eat will get dislodged into the cleft and along with infection there will be repeated injury to the mucosa in that area. If you are unable to clean the area then the food particles present will cause bacterial overgrowth leading to infection, inflammation, swelling and pain. So, my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated so that if there is any food debris accumulation then it can be cleaned using fine tweezers and the area can be disinfected. Also, a prosthetic appliance can be fabricated for you so that you can wear it during meals that will avoid food accumulation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I just read this on my MRI. What does this mean: C7-T1: Small disk osteophyte complex slightly effacing the ventral CSF space. Mild right-sided facet hypertrophy with mild right foraminal stenosis I ve had 3 neck surgeries already from an assault in 2001
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are degenerative disc disease. Its treatment is glucosamine and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Cervical exercises are helpful. Meaning of this MRI is that one of osteophytes is slightly pressing the rural space and spinal cord. On right side there is facet joint hypertrophy leading to mild foraminal stenosis. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.

I had an MRI 8 years ago, and have dealt with pain in my back that would band around to my lower rib age and abdomen. I have dealt with it basically by strengthening my back. I m 38 years old and in good shape with no other health conditions, other than sinus bradycardia. Lately the pain has increased and I have felt numbness in my small toes of my right foot and all my toes in my left except my big toe. Also I have had increased urination worse in early morning going some cases 4 times in an hour. The MRI results are as follows: Dessication of D3-4, D4-5,D5-6,D6-7,and D9-10. Some minimal posterior projection of discovertebral material at D3-4,D4-5. Also early osteophyte formation. At the D7-8 level on the right there is minimal undulation of the posterior margin of the discovertebral complex with equivocal findings of small protrusions. At te D8-9 level there is undulation of the posterior aspect of the discovertebral complex at the foraminal entrance with projections of the spinal canal possible neural encroachment. At the D9-10 level, there is asymmetry of the disc with posterior projections of discovertebral material extending from right paracentral region to the foraminal exit which is suspicious for an area of soft disc protrusion. This is about 1.3 cm in transverse dimension and about 5 mm in AP dimension. There is compression of exiting D9 nerve root on the right. Are the new symptoms likely related to the disc degeneration or neural or nerve root impingement? What should I do?
|
Hi there. Thanks for your question at Chat Doctor. Compression in thoracic spine can be associated with numbness of legs/ foot with bowel or bladder disturbances(as in your case). But the findings in your 8-year-old MRI do not seem significant enough to attribute your current symptoms to sucChatDoctorpression(the dimensions mentioned in the MRI needs to be correlated with your background and dimensions of surrounding structures. Since the MRI is 8 years old, I would suggest you to get a new MRI after meeting your physician. We also need to rule out other conditions which can lead to your current symptomatology (naturopathies as in Diabetes Mellitus). Any new symptom in the background of such an MRI needs further evaluation for sure. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards. Chat Doctor.

Welcome to the ChatDoctorThe likely cause for such pains may be a urinary tract infection or a local fungal infection. I would recommend you to get her urine routine and microscopic examination along with culture done. In the meanwhile you may start her on Catwalk syrup. In case, she has any signs of local fungal infection, then clotrimazole lotion may be used for relief. Maintain good local hygiene. You may post her reports for my reference so that I may guide you with the most definitive therapy. Take care

Hello doctor,Two years before, I got tested my whole body and blood. There are some dark circles that appear on my body and I am getting treated regularly, but still, my blood has some problem. I get PT and INR tests done regularly.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I understand from your post that you may have a blood clotting tendency. Have you ever had pain or swelling in your calf muscle and difficulty breathing? You may be prone to blood clots in your lungs which is called pulmonary embolism. So, if you ever experience symptoms such as pain or swelling in your calf, difficulty or shortness of breath or chest pain, you must seek immediate medical help and go to emergency. It would be helpful to know a bit more about your symptoms and your general health now.

If you have accidentally swallowed some excreta of rats, some rotten material caused you skin allergy, your breath filled with stinking air, it's not surprising that you are bound to get these problems. To my own patients I would say to clean your guts. First induce vomiting by Chat Doctor. Put two fingers in throat and try to vomit. This should be tried empty stomach. Then induce duration by mild herbal powder Tarunikusumakar chairman. If not available take Trifle capsules 2 caps thrice day for two days. You may feel weakness but no problem. Then follow max normal water to avoid deny

I had a vasectomy yesterday. All seems fine and have limited pain, but I have some tingling and numbness from my hip down to just above my knee on both sides. I am normally not one who lies on back for extended periods so am assuming I pinched a nerve, but have been up for a couple of hours and it doesnt seem to be getting much better. Do you have any recommendations?
|
Hi, I understand your concern and would agree with you in the fact that your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve. But this is a short time to notice signs of improvement. I would recommend performing some physical activity (stretching, yoga, walking). If your symptoms do not improve in the next days, you should consult with your doctor and perform a nerve conduction study. Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Best wishes,

I have been suffering recurring bouts of dizziness and vertigo, sometimes with headaches and nausea too, for the last month. I feel like my head is spinning constantly and my balance is slightly off. My physician took blood for testing and after checking my reflexes and eyesight (all normal), referred me for an MRI brain scan with IAMS. In the referral letter, he said he wanted to rule out demyelineation. Can you please explain what this is? Does it relate to MS? Thank you.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Myelin is a sheath that is seen over nerves in the brain, spinal cord and in other areas of the body. This sheath allows impulses to travel quickly along the nerve. In declination this sheath is destroyed or damaged. MS is one cause of declination, but there are others causes. Though declination can cause the symptoms that you are experiencing there are also more benign causes of vertigo and dizziness, your doctor is ruling out the more serious causes first which is understandable. Vertigo is commonly caused by inner ear conditions such as deniers disease, BPPV and vestibular neuritis. Wishing you the best

hello Sir..i have been diagonised to have psoriosis and i have been given a tablet Melanocyl. when i browsed in the internet, there are few sites that says it has side effects. is it advisable to take that tablet or should i go for another?kindly advice.Thanks

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by well-defined erythematous scaly plaques with silvery white or candle wax type of scaling. Chronic plaque psoriasis is the most common type. It can affect sites like scalp, arms, and legs, (specifically elbows and knees), palms and soles etched disease has a chronic course and there topical creams/ointments/gels/lotions etc. as well as oral and injectable medicines which can treat psoriasis, but there is no permanent cure for psoriasis. Melanocyl is an oral Morale, 8-Methoxypsoralen, which is taken at least 2 hours prior to sun-exposure OR UV A exposure in a chamber. It is a very effective Chat Doctor. I would suggest that you continue with it. However, it can cause minor side effects mostly related to GI System: Nausea, vomiting, Elevated Liver enzymes etc., Ocular side effects like: Cataract (can be avoided by covering the eyes during UV A exposure)Cutaneous side effects like: Pruritic, Solar engines and rarely serious side effects Skin cancer (Squamous cell carcinoma) etc. Skin cancer is rare and depends on the total cumulative UV A exposure (with more than 200 Joules lifetime exposure increasing the chances of cancer development). The risk of skin cancer is reduced by simultaneous use of oral retinoid:accretion.regards

Hi, am priya, age 26, diagnosed with tonic clonic seizures 8 years back. I was seizure free for the past 4 years but again had an attack last week. My regular neurologist suggested that i sleep well and resume my sodium valproate for another 2 months. I took another opinion from a differnt neurologist who asked for a plain MRI of the brain. The report says the MRI study of the brain is normal, small right maxillary sinus polyp . What does this mean.? Please give ur opinion
|
Hi Priya, Thank you for posting your query. Your problem is epilepsy, and it requires medications for a long time, as it is a chronic problem. Sodium valproate is a good Chat Doctor. Regarding the MRI finding, it is normal brain. Maxillary polyp refers to a minor problem in the sinus (located on the side of nose). An ENT doctor would help in treatment of the same, if it is causing symptoms, such as nasal obstruction, cold, etc. Best wishes,

|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. But by what you quote I feel that it could be - Eczema. This is a type of skin allergy. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor. For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it. Regards -

Hi, With the events you mentioned, It's unlikely for him to have any significant head injury. But still we need to be a bit cautious. If this is not his usual sleeping time, try to awaken him and talk to him- If he feels Chat Doctor. If he is feeling fine after waking up, no further vomiting or headache - nothing to worry.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The fishy odor during peeing is normal when the climate is hot and moist. This is because of deny Chat Doctor. The odor could be due to sweat and microorganisms. There is another possibility of having an obsession to the odor. Obsession and imagination thereon. To overcome obsession, please ignore the odor. Keep the genital area neat and clean, wash the area with soap thrice daily, and you should see the difference. Hope this answers your query.

I am having waves of dizziness and lightheadedness, along with pain in my upper right abdomen. I have been diagnosed with mild fatty liver disease and we are treating it with diet and exercise. They did not find any gallstones or such. I am wondering if I just have a rib out that is causing the discomfort...but the lightheadedness is concerning me. Should I consult my physician, as well as my chiropractor. When should I become concerned to the point of going to the emergency room.
|
HelloDizziness and lightheadedness may be due to many reasons like hypertension, cervical spondylosis, internal ear problem etc. You may need clinical correlation and investigations. It is generally a manageable condition. You may need few investigations like routine hologram, cervical spine X-ray(AP/Lateral), random blood sugar etc. Mild fatty liver is a reversible condition. It may be reversed by diet and lifestyle modification. You may need few medicines after investigations. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hi, I am 37 years and i want to put braces to straighten my teeth. Is it advisable to go for this treatment at this age. Does it have any side effects and is it painful. Also to keep you informed that my sugar leve keeps fluctating between 110 to 130 before food. Does this have to do anything with putting braces in my teeth?
|
Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. For braces at the age of 37, you first need to consult an orthodontist. Braces give best results between ages of 14 and 28. However, adult and old aged orthodontics is practiced as well. Orthodontist will study your dental casts as well as your OPG and lateral cephalogram. Treatment may take little longer time than usual. Diabetes or high blood sugar don't effect this treatment except at times high sugar may lead to gum bleeding and bad breath. After starting the treatment, maintain your sugar level, maintain good oral hygiene. Get regular oral prophylaxis done. Use special orthodontics brush, mouthwash and sugarless gums. Your orthodontist will goods you accordingly. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!

my husband went to his cardiologist yesterday and i wasn t able to go to ask questions. He had a heart attack 2 years ago with the placement of a stent. the doctor said that his arteries are clear but that the stress test showed that his heart was a little tight what does that mean
|
Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. This word "tight" is not a scientific term as such but doctors in general use it after stress testing when there is an artery which has some blockage, usually this blockage is not significant to ask for a stenting, but it is significant to cause some ECG changes in the stress testing. You and your husband do not have to panic, this kind of arteries just need care, by care I mean taking regular medication, physical activity, keeping check at your diet and staying in contact with doctor and pay regular follow-up visits as advised by the doctor. This slight tightness will only get worse if care is not taken otherwise it will regress and things will keep getting better with time. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.

Have a gradual pain in center of abdomin for fours weeks. Pain in back and now three days ago testicular pain. Stool sample normal but told that all blood work points to gallstones. Pain in abdomin is a level 8 this evening. I am 38 years old 220 lbs and 5 11. What could this be and what can I ask of my PCP to get some answers and relief?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The reason of the pain in the center of the abdomen and the back can be related to the Gastric Ulcer / Cancer or pancreatitis. Pain in the testicle may be unrelated to the pain in abdomen and may be due to orchids or so. No blood tests are suggestive of gall stones. Ask PCP the following:Get an ultrasonography. Upper GI Endoscopy and Colonoscopy, Blood: Liver function tests, amylase, lipase, CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis, hence getting a right diagnosis is of utmost importance.

10-11 years ago as a teenager I had tooth #8 extracted. I am an adult now living in Italy and was thinking to get a dental implant. Upon the initial x-ray the implantologist here was unsure if the extractionist had left some of the root behind. I contacted the office where the extraction happened and they said that all of the tooth was removed and he placed a an autologous and synthetic bone graft using Osteograf LD300. So I am okay for an implant with this bone graft?
|
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your history posted here requires few more details like the reason why you got your teeth extracted, due to decay or any trauma, etc? Do you have any partial dentures in your mouth or fixed bridges? Does your dentist see any leftover root piece in x-ray? What does your dentist say about the health of your oral tissues? Do you have any medical history or are you taking any medications presently? Please furnish all these details before I suggest you details on implant tooth. Please let me know for further query. Thanks. Take care.

My partner and I are trying to conceive. We started 2 months ago. My periods are always regular, and the first month we tried, my period came 10 days early, negative PT. After that period we were trying again, we have sex regularly 3-4 times per week, and did this unprotected all last month, however my period has arrived again, spot on to the new date from last month. How can I have 4 weeks unprotected sex and not be pregnant? I know its only been two months, but I m 25, regular with periods, and this is the first time I m having unprotected sex. My partner has already fathered a 2 year old from a previous relationship? Is my fertility in question, or is this normal?
|
Hello, You have to do unprotected sex around ovulation time for highest possibility of pregnancy in regular period and not the whole month. Use ovulation prediction kit (OVP) for timing of ovulation and prepare for those days. Actually ovulation occurs approx 14 days prior to due date of period and have to sex 3-5 days in that time.Also, you may undergo for some investigation to rule out causes of early period like stress, hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorder, wt gain/loss etc. So consult with your gynecologist and take suggestive measures. Avoid stress, take healthy diet with Vitae & Folic acid supplements, control body wt and proper sleep. Be well.

Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of your husband. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As he has damaged the ligament, which ligament he has Damaged needs an understanding. Also, he is undergoing surgery for the same, as post surgery the total rehabilitation time will be 3-4 weeks. Undergoing physical therapy should help achieve the optimum results. In my clinical practice, patients I see with ligament injuries, physical therapy is advised, and they respond well to it. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hi... I agree that it could be due to blood in the GI tract or mild gastritis or an ulcer. But an ulcer is highly unlikely in this age group. If you could be due to any Chat Doctor.

Took her to cardiologist and he put her on Lasiks 1 per day and said to keep her feet and legs elevated. He wasn t real concerned, but did order an echo cardiogram to be done soon. Her home attendant just took her BP/pulse and reading was 128/77, pulse 100. She just started the Lasiks Thurs. May 7, 2015. She says she can breathe ok, but attendant says she s breathing heavy in a recliner chair w/feet up. She s adamant NO HOSPITAL. Do I need to worry?
|
Hi. Thank you for your query. I read it carefully. Now, the echocardiogram is really important in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) in identifying the ejection fraction of the ventricle and in assessing the movement and compliance of the heart muscle. My opinion is that furosemide (Las ix) should be continued, but she should be put in a very low salt intake diet. Furthermore, she should be restricted to only performing routine activities of everyday life. The problem is that any moderate to vigorous effort, as well as other factors (e.g. salt) that increase the workload of a failing, insufficient heart, raise the possibility of decompensating the CHF and exacerbate severe symptoms, that may be even life-threatening. I hope I was helpful. Take care.

Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. The most important thing that I would like to ask you is whether they itch.

Is there anyway that the mouse droppings and the mice in my house could be causing her to be sick instead of an infection? also i called health inspector no one has shown up in nyc, i contacted landlord and they made it seem like it is my fault because we do have exterminator that comes every month but im a single mom and cant afford to take off the 1st of every month. when i did let the exterminator in all he did was put in a bait trap on the floor and recently someone came over the house and said it smell like the bait in my house, could that make someone sick too? i cant remove it only the exterminator can
|
Hi, Yes, there are diseases that come from mice and rodents, but believe it or not, it's not all that common. And those diseases have well known symptoms and problems. Fevers really are common in a baby/child. If there are causes, and if the babies growth (height and weight) are at the expected levels for each age, then 4-6 fevers every year is normal. Bait can be poisonous to humans, but most exterminators don't use that kind of bait in a house with child Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

52 154 lbs squamous cell carcinomas had surgery remove what im concern is what happes after you had the biopsy it came back cancer did surgery why do they send it to the lab and what if it comes back bad had some on hands and big one they grew fast after shaved
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A cancer diagnosis requires detailed evaluation and confirmation. The final diagnosis is made only after a biopsy. A biopsy involves studying the cells under a microscope by the pathologist and confirming them to be cancer. A cancer cell is one that multiplies without control and in an irregular fashion. This can be seen under microscope. Cancer cells are also of many grades like low grade, intermediate grade and high grade depending on the aggressiveness. A low grade cancer has better curability than a high grade. These will be known after the biopsy test. During surgery a small area of normal appearing skin is also taken out to make sure no cancer tissue is left behind. However, in high grade cancer the cells can re-appear and this needs to be closely observed. Therefore, if high grade cancer cell is seen on biopsy then additional treatment like chemotherapy and radiation is also given. Recurrence chances of cancer is more with a higher grade of tumor. If there is recurrence of squamous cell cancer then more aggressive surgery, chemotherapy and radiation might be required. Please do not worry.

Yesterday morning I had a small crack, today I started using Bees balm and it seems to be helping but I have sores just inside my lower lip as well. The rigid line seems to be not as bad tonight. Could I have sunburned my lips without knowing or do I need to worry about mouth cancer? I do smoke.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for posting your query. Smoking can obviously lead into PRECANCEROUS lesions of oral mucosa including lips. A thorough clinical as well as biopsy investigation is necessary to plan the treatment. I would advise you to quit smoking. Tab.COSTAR as well as IRON supplements has to be administered. Meanwhile, maintain oral hygiene well. Brush and floss your teeth as well as tongue daily. Take nutritious diet including fruits and leafy vegetables. Avoid spicy foods. Hope this helps out.

what is chronic d enervation ? I have it bilateral L5S1 myotomes and I have significant reduction of the peroneal nerve action potentials bilaterally most likely is from severe axonal loss at the L5 root level, what does this mean?
|
Chronic enervation of the nerve is loss of myelin covering of the nerves which helps in conduction of impulse along the nerves. There are various reasons both acute and chronic. Acute is injury to the nerve and the most common chronic cause is nutritional and destruction of nerve due to pressure over the nerve root seen in spondylosis and chronic disease like diabetes and inflammatory lesions like leprosy, polio. So we have to find the cause of enervation in your case and treat it accordingly.

I'm glad that you understand that online tests are not authentic. Many times we believe the things we want to believe and ignore the facts. For instance, I would want to believe that I did not score well in an exam because the paper was tough and not because I did not study. Similarly, maybe you're depending on the information that autism runs in your family, and you have autistic traits. It is possible that you don't like social interactions because you're an introvert which is completely normal. I'd suggest you to not believe information provided on the net because one can't detect how true it would be. Kindly consult a doctor and don't shy away from sharing your problems with an expert. A psychiatrist/psychologist will clear all your doubts and give you more clarity by studying your genetic history. Incomplete knowledge is dangerous knowledge!

Hello, Your CT scan first is entirely normal. To break it down line by line: Normal CT attenuation characteristics of the gray and white matter of both cerebral hemispheres.- This states that the difference in density between the gray matter (the nerve cells) and white matter (the cables of the nerve cells) looks as it is supposed to. No focal or enhancing lesions are detected-This says that there are no tumors, infection or inflammation. Normal dimensions and configurations of the supra and infra senatorial ventricular system-this discussed the normal fluid filled spaces that are found in the brain. It states that the fluid filled spaces in the top and bottom part of the brain are normal. Neither intro nor extra axial collections.- This states that there are no abnormal collections of fluid within or outside the brain. No brain edema.- No swelling of the brain No mid-line shift.- A midline shift occurs when swelling or a tumor pushes part of the brain to the opposite side, that is a part of the brain that is for example that a part of the brain that should be on the left side of the brain would be pushed to the right side, passed the center point of the skull. Normal appearance of posterior fossa structures.- This is simply referring to a part of the brain that lies in the back of the head which includes the brain stem and cerebellum. These look normal on the scan. Normal CT features and appearance of the bony cranial vault-the skull and the space in which the brain is contained looks normal Opinion: Negative CT study of the brain and posterior fossa structures - A "negative" study is simply one which did not find anything abnormal. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My sister had to have an emergency surgery to have her appendix removed. When the doctors started the procedure they couldnt even see her appendix because her colon and intestines were wrapped around it. They removed part of her colon, intestine and lymph nodes. They also said her white blood cell count was very high. They are checking for cancer. I am now very concerned. Can you tell me more. Thank you.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Inflamed appendix is occasional wrapped around by intestines and momentum. Appendix is not usually visible in this situation and surrounding structures have to be removed along with appendix and examined histopathologically to look for appendix and inflammation in the appendix. High blood cell count occurs most commonly in infections. Blood cancers can also cause high blood counts, however, peripheral blood smears examination is required to find out whether the elevated counts are due to infection or some other cause. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

I have had epiphora for over 2 years now and I just had my wisdom teeth removed today. I ve noticed that my watering has gone down immensely yet they are still watering a bit. Could the two be connected? As a side note, I also have bad allergies, but I ve yet to see the connection between the watering eyes and the allergies
|
Hi, Thank you for the query. Epiphora may be because of block in the tear ducts, narrowed tear ducts resulting in swelling due to inflammation, irritants causing over tears because of infective conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, trichiasis, ectropion (lower eyelid turned upwards). I would suggest you to see an ophthalmologist and ENT to rule out the exact cause for the watering eyes. Wisdom teeth with pain can give you tears sometimes but definitely continuous watering may be due to some allergy or inflammation in and around the eyes. Hope this information helps you.

parts of the right side of my body are numb and there was tingling but that went away after two days. I ve seen a neurologist and they say my brain is fine so its not a stroke, and the numbness seems to be worse in my lower leg/foot and my arm/hand and a bit in my neck and face. The only thing i can think that i might have done to cause this is that either a few hours or the day before the tingling/numbness started i was spray painting . Could the paint fume inhilation have caused it? and if so how long will it take to go away? and what kind of doctor should i see about it?
|
Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and you have consulted the right person already, its unlikely that fumes can cause unilateral symptoms, so do not blame that. An advice is to stay vigilant and get your BP checked, and if it does not settle in a few days time re visit the neurologist. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.

My son has a small white bump on the inner top of his mouth behind his front one his front tooth and .. He has had since he was months old and now his a year old and got alite bigger my babysitter popped And puss can out is that something to be alarmed by?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pus discharge from the mouth behind the front teeth can be because if the infection in the tooth or gum resulting in an abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(If you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly. Do saline gargling. I hope I have answered your query, take care.

|
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. You did not mention if she is under any medication for general health like hypertension. Many of the Chat Doctor. In that case she can consult the physician for a change in the prescription. A clear cause for ulcers has not been given yet, however poor oral hygiene, stress, deficiencies can attribute. She can use a lidocaine based gel like GEMSTONE before food(this makes the area little numb, so that she can eat). Gargle thrice daily with warm saline water. Use a soft tooth brush. Have a stress-free lifestyle. Regards.

Sir, I am patient of hypertenion since 5 year. In April 2011 doctor advice some test. After examination my serum urea was 65.00 and serum cratinine was 2.07. After 20 days medication serum urea leavel is almost normal but serum cratinine level is still more than normal limit i.e. 1.84. My age is 42 year & working in a private organisation in lucknow. I would be higly obliged for your kind advice. Ravindra nath SrivastavaChinhat, Lucknow
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Raised urea and creatinine levels suggest compromise in kidney functions. Thus, complete kidney functions need to be measured to assess the kidney functions. Since, you are hypertensive there is risk of compromising kidney functions. The level of urea and creatinine will improve and come within normal range once the kidney functions properly. Thus, consult a nephrologist for further work up. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi, I ve had a sinus problem for a few years, had an operation to open the sinus up and shave the walls, I ll be honest it didn t do much, I was given a steroid spray which also doesn t help. I was reading a few articles tonight about sinus plugs and that s what I always seem to get, is there anything to help or and operation to prevent this ? Thanks
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. Sinus plugs are nothing but mucous plugs or thick mucous that gets accumulated into the sinuses leading to congestion. In case if you are not relieved with surgery of sinuses I would suggest you to consult an ENT Surgeon and get evaluated, he can advise you to get investigations like PNS view x-ray or MRI scan of sinuses and get treated accordingly. You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Augmenting, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, anti-allergics like Levocetrizine, oral decongestants like Phenylephrine, Multics like Aerosol, decongestant nasal sprays like Xylometazoline, steam inhalations, saline nasal irrigation and use a humidifier in your room. You should avoid chilled foods and air-conditioned atmosphere. Hope this helps. Regards.

HelloAirway hyperresponsiveness that is secondary to inflammatory airways' disease that results in recurrent or chronic episodes of WHEEZE, SHORTNESS OF BREATH (SOB)CHEST TIGHTNESS, &/or COUGH particularly at night or in the early morning is a characteristic feature of asthmatic allergic bronchitis (as all these symptoms, you are having). So avoidance of mite, fine dusting powder, pollen, hay, smoking (active or passive) pests, fumes, sudden change of temperature will help in these type of cases. You are taking months L (MONTELUKAST+levoceterizine) . When such cases visit I advise them to take montelukast+ albuterol one tablet in the night, but few patients also need one tablet in the day. Usually patient respond this treatment very well. Take this tablet whenever you require, stop when no symptoms. Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief in such type of cases. Good luck.

It s been 6 weeks since my husband was diagnosed with Shingles He is still experiencing some very intense nerve pain and is having a recurrence of some blisters. Also, can you recommend other treatments for the nerve pain. He s been taking Lyrica.
|
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorI would keep a possibility of Neuralgia. Shingles is commonly accompanied by neuralgic pains, shooting or burning or stabbing pains. This is commonly called as Herpes associated neuralgia (HAN). However, when it persists long after Shingles has resolved, then it is called as Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) i. e pain lasting 1 month after episode of shingles. The pain is due to inflammation and scarring of nerves affected by the episode of shingles. Treatment is effective but sometimes lasts months or years specially in old age group of patients:Treatment Options are NSAIDs, tricyclic antidepressants, Gabapentin/Pregabalin, Carbamazepine, Topical Capsaicin and Topical Lidocaine gel. Treatment of Neuralgic pain often takes months specially in older age group. I would advise consultation with a dermatologist and work out the best treatment options for you. Thank you.

my son last week was helping to lift a large post and felt like he strained and said it hurt for a while and he about passed out. Last night he noticed a small lump about like a pea right in the crease of his left leg. He said yesterday while he was sitting in class that he had pain behind his knee but it quit when he moved around. He said the lump does not hurt and does not move around but he is concerned. Could it be a hernia or something more serious?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has lump In crease of leg. If lump increase in size when straining like weight lifting, coughing or passing stool then it can be inguinal hernia. If it's not hernia then it can be inguinal lymph node. He should go for examination and ultrasound study. It will give exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly. Hernia repair surgery like meshplasty is the treatment of choice for hernia. Consult your doctor and plan 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.

Yes it is possible to regain your lost hair only if r dedicated and willing to spend money. Chances are more that you regain your hair because you are young. Search a Good and Honest Ayurvedic physician around your area who practices Authentic Ayurveda with Panchakarma. Firstly, take cleaning therapy called Haman. Then NASA for 21 days, simultaneously Shirley for same period. Only Then start internal Ayurvedic medicines and Oil applications. I can assure you, if you follow above things, which will TK around 2 months, 3rd month onwards you will see regeneration of few hairs. Continue the treatment along with Malayan Nikita for a year.

Hi, my 4 year old and I relocated from NYC to Orlando Fl in October 2014. Since arriving he has been quite sickly, mainly runny nose, consistent coughing, frequent nosebleeds at night and high temps ranging from 99.9 to 102.0. Recently, he was given a nubulizer and abuterol with treatments every 4 hours. Problem was we had no insurance and was taking him only to the emergency room, his coverage started 3/1/2015 and his new doctor has not yet pin-pointed a specifi problem, but I am really worried that he is not doing well in this new environment. Today, his nursery school called to report that he has 99.9 temperature, consistent coughing and has vomited several times day. Any ideas what I should do? I plan to take him to his PCP afterhour care center tonight.

Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Your history suggests that your child may be suffering from Allergic rhinitis. Steam inhalation, local instillation of saline nasal Chat Doctor. Montelukast 4 mg daily will control coughing. Antibiotic like Amoxicillin and clavulanate combination and paracetamol will control fever. It is difficult to pinpoint the diagnosis without seeing the patient. Follow your doctors instructions to arrive at a diagnosis. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care

Hi: I have been diagnosed with a collapsed gallbladder . PFB the results of a CTC I conducted last week: Liver shows mild fatty accumulation. Spleen , pancreas , intra & extra hepatic bile ducts are unremarkable. Both adrenals are unremarkable. Mild bilateral-perinephric fat stranding is noticed. There is a para-pelvic cyst on the right side in the mid to lower pole region measuring 2.3cm. in size with focal calcification in it.Further evaluation is limited due to lack of IV contrast.No hydronephrposis or calculi. Visualized proximal ureters and non-dilated. There is no free fluid in the upper abdomen. Technique: Non contrast CT of upper abdomen was performed from the dome to the level of iliac crest. Impression: Right para-pelvic cyst with focal calcification. Evaluation is limited due to lack of IV contrast. Mild fatty Liver. I would like to know what could be the probable causes of a collapsed gallbladder. Can it be revived? If yes, by what methods? If not, will I need to get it surgically removed? How will it impact my health? I am 62 years old male.
|
Hi Thanks for posting your query What I gather from your information is that you are concerned about the collapsed gallbladder It appears so if you have been fasting, You can get it reviewed by AAN ultrasound scan There is no need for surgical removal if there are no symptoms At any age it there is no symptoms it is not going to impact your health Hope this helps Am available for any followup queries there are no further doubts, do accept my reply and rate it Get Well Soon
