How do I stop the sperm during the night times while sleeping. It happens twice or thrice in two days, because of this reason my penis size has became too small and all nerve has become weak . I can t tolerate the sperm leaking. Please advice me the right guide and tell what medicine i should take.
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum I understand your concern. But you are completely normal and nocturnal emission is a natural phenomenon and is not a disease/problem to treat. If anyone do not discharge semen by any method (masturbation/ intercourse)then the body itself tries to replace old sperms with new one by this method. So, do not worry as it is not a problem at all. All the best. Hope you understood what I meant.

i am taking diabetic medication like medformin, januvia and glipizide and two months ago I was injected with eligard for prostage cancer. Now my blood sugar is way up in the three to four hundred reading, I don t feel any symptoms, like blurry eyes. I sweat a lot and pee a lot at night. Dose my blood sugar reading have anything to do with my high blood reading.
|
Hello, Frequent Urination and sweating are symptoms of diabetes. Take proper control of diabetes and consult with your doctor. He may increase the dosage of medicines, start morning or evening walk at a moderate pace at least for 30 minutes daily. Once your diabetes is controlled, your symptoms will resolve. Keep track of your diabetes by FBS (Fasting blood sugar), RBS (Random blood sugar) and HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

First congratulations on great escape. Severe pain is expected in your case considering extent of vertebral injury. Try tab covered SR 100 mg OD, tab pantoprazole 40 mg OD, Tab tolperisone 150 mg BD. Continue other conservative measures advised by your physician. Don't hesitate in going with surgical intervention if indicated and advised. Hope my advice will help you. Take care.

Hi doctor,Why do I get recurrence of genital herpes as soon as I stop antiviral drugs?
|
Hello. It may be due to poor immune status, diabetes, ChatDoctor. If the sexual partner has it, then there is a chance of developing it. I suggest applying Acivir (Acyclovir) gel locally and taking capsule Acivir 400 mg five times a day for one week. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online

Hi doctor,I am a 26 year old male. My height is 5\8" and weight is 75 kg. For two weeks, I have been having a lot of gas and burping without any other discomfort. Due to my tough work schedule in the last week I slept only 3 to 4 hours every day. Now from the last four days, I am feeling pressure and pain in my upper neck muscles just below the head. Also, my head is feeling heavy and I have slight ear pressure in my right ear. I had some difficulty in breathing, but it was fine after I had burps and removed the gas from my body. My BP is 130/100 mmHg on average, which was 135/110 mmHg on the first day of the headaches. It has been one day that I started taking Capoten 25 mg. Even after taking complete bed rest for two days, still I have neck pain and gas problem. Kindly please advice on the matter. Also, what should I do now?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have understood your problem and must say that it is quite a common complaint to my clinic. Sleep deprivation and increased physical stress. Acute otitis media. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). PPI and antihistamine. Avoid sleep deprivation.

I had a hysterectomy just over 2 weeks ago. About every couple days I get this terrible cramping..it feels like an air bubble and slowly works it s way down...it s very painful and makes everything else painful and bloated. It can last for quite a while. Could this still be air from my surgery working its way out? I was in surgery for just over 4 hours because my organs were attached with endometriosis.
|
The history of cramps and feeling of air moving is suggestive of post-operative adhesion of the intestine. The reasons can be - Surgery itself and Endometriosis. I would advise you::X-ray of the whole abdomen in the standing position to see the air-fluid levels so classical for the intestinal obstruction. And CT scan of the abdomen to find out the cause of it. If the conservative line of treatment does not help to solve the problem, You will require Exploratory Laparoscopy / Laparotomy to find the cause and treat it.

Hello, My two year and two month old son has just started sticking his tongue out all the time and drooling. He also is pulling his lips back(upper and lower)as he sticks his tongue out. I know he is teething. Is this normal behavior? I am concerned because it looks strange. Thanks, Brian
|
Hello Brian, I can understand your concern. As your son is starting erupt teeth, he might be producing excessive saliva as a bodies response to a new development in mouth. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about. As the mouth will grow with advancing age of the kid and more teeth will start to develop, you will not find excessive saliva and Chat Doctor. You can clean the excess saliva with a thin cotton cloth time to time with little pressure so that rashes do not appear with repeatedly rubbing cloth over the area. Sticking tongue out is also a response to developing new teeth and growing tongue size, which will stop eventually. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,

Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history suggest an infective etiology - either an abscess, hair follicular infection or bony pathology.2. If you are my patient I would have examined and ask for an ultrasound examination and an x-ray involving joint and bone AP/LAT.3. Ultrasound - gives me the nature of the lump, its source and extension.4. X-ray will give me the characterization of the lesion if its bony source.5. Further if abscess or infective collection - incision and Chat Doctor. 6. In case of bony after characterization depending on findings' treatment involves. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.

My son is 1 yr and 7 month old and his doctor said that he has child hood Asthma and prescribed Montair Lc Kid for 6 months. After taking that medicine there is no change in his health and every month he is compelling to take antibiotic due to cough . I have showed Laziness for giving that maontair LC kid, due to my phobia towards continues in taking of medicine and he is showing aggressive behaviour after taking that.Is it good for health, Please give me answer

Hi Sharia, Thanks for writing your query. Metier LC contains montelukast and levocetrizine. These medicines help in control of symptoms of bronchitis. The montelukast have to be taken for long duration. Almost every medicine has some or the other side effects. Your doctor who have examined the child is the best judge and must have prescribed the medicine if the benefit is more than the side effects. You should take care that the child is properly covered during the climate change. You should give him fresh fruits and vegetables to increase his immunity. His hands should be kept clean to prevent entry of infection causing organisms through dirty hands. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.

Last month I saw the doctor about feeling pins and needles throughout my head, blurred vision. No pain, just annoying feeling. Had a MRI which was negative. MRI negative for tumors appeared normal. Ordered to stop Crestor see if that was the cause. Pins and needles went away after three days but now I can feel my pulse throughout my head. Good B/P 120/68. Blood sugar around 160. Labs are all normal. Where to now?

HIT hank for asking to Chat Doctor I really appreciate your concern, it is being said that one question should be asked to a patient who is having headache, and that is "Who is your headache?most of the headache does not have any pathology and are functional in origin, you have to keep your self away from such functional elements to get immediate relief, I would advise you to have "Acetaminophen with diazepam twice a day this will give good relief from headache, stop worrying and have nice day.

Have had digestive problems and extreme fatigue for several months. Had gallbladder taken out...still having lots of fatigue and stomach issues. Had Ct scan done and they found multiple cysts on kidney and liver...is this something to be concerned with?
|
Hi.noted ct-scan results. What are the characteristics and sizes of your cysts? Are you experiencing any symptoms related to your urinary tract and liver/abdominal area? Not all cysts need surgical intervention. Some of them are there and just be observed and followed-up regularly. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon and a urologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. No need to worry much for your thyroid report but you should definitely concern about RF report. Your RF report is significantly high. So possibility of rheumatoid arthritis is more. Your symptoms like shortness of breath, leg pain and headache can be seen in Rheumatoid Arthritis. So better to get done CCP antibodies. It is never and more specific diagnostic test for rheumatoid arthritis. If this is positive then you are mostly having Rheumatoid arthritis and may need treatment.

I have a severely disabled 12 yr old child who has severe hypotonia, mentally is about 6-12mths of age, constantly chews his fingers, autistic like repietitive movements, has intractable seizures, muscle spasms, multiple mini drops throughout the day, but physically looks " normal" .He is being tested for a variant of Rett syndrome and guanidinacetate deficiency.I read about a case where a young girl in America with Rett syndrome was diagnosed with leukemia and was given a bone marrow transplant and starting talking for the first time in her life and ger symptoms started to reverse. Would a bone marrow transplant or stem call transplant likely improve my sons condition if he did have guanidinacetate or similar deficiency??????

HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor The features u described are of Rests syn Chat Doctor. Stem cell transplantation for this disease is under active research. This procedure has been successful in mice. But we need to go still a long way before the same can be applied to human subjects. However, medication for seizures, physiotherapy and training for retardation do help the child. Nutritious diet also is important.

Hi. I would first recommend a deforming course of either albendazole (400 mg orally, once; followed by another tablet in 2 weeks time) or mebendazole, which ever is available in your region. The next thing I would recommend is a course of antibiotics. I, too, apologize as the translator was not effective enough, and I could not understand your query clearly enough. In antibiotics, I would prefer the use of ofloxacin 200 mg oral tablet, to be taken twice daily for the next 10 days. You can also use either sanitizing or omeprazole tablets 15 minutes before each meal for 10 days. Best wishes.

I have a knot on one of my lower right ribs, not near the spine. I am also a breast cancer survivor, lumpectomy, right side, 5 years since diagnosis. My docs seem to think there is nothing to be concerned about, but no imaging tests have been ordered. One doc suggested that it is a calcium deposit. Is this probable?
|
Hello, It could be anything ranging from a soft tissue swelling or mass to a bony swelling. If its consistency is soft and bulbous it could be a lipoma and if its hard as stone it would be a bony deposit, anything in between could be anything. You hadn't mentioned the duration and associated symptoms. In case it is of long duration and causing any discomfort, you need to get an x-ray chest app view and a FNAC of swelling to reach out for the diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

My nine year old son has had a fever for 4 days ranging from 99 to 102. He is also extremely fatigued. I have been giving him Motrin and Tylenol. He is not eating much and has developed today a bit of a dry cough. We had traveled to puerto rico earlier this month and he was violently I ll with vomiting on the last day 7/17. He was then better until 7/30 when the fever and fatigue started. He had some blood work done and urine test, no strep, but has low white blood cell count, but I don t know how low yet. He seemed better yesterday but is worse again now. I am taking him back to the doc tomorrow to get test results but am worried wand am also worried about giving him ibuprofen and Tylenol for so ,any days. He only sighs 60 pounds and a month ago weighed 65.

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

I know I m under alot of stress lately but my primary took me off my blood pressure meds 4 mths ago I been on since 32 yrs old now I m 53. Advice Please..

Hello, I would explain that the headaches seem to be related to high blood pressure values. For this reason, the main thing to do is to treat high blood pressure. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and discussing the possibility of starting antihypertensive therapy. Some blood lab tests are also necessary (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels, fasting glucose, blood lipid profile, kidney and liver function tests). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My 3 year 9 month old son has had fever (99-100 during the day, 100-102 at night) and diarrhea (but, he frequently has loose stools and has multiple food intolerances) for 5 days now. His fever goes down in the day and his energy level is normal except he is a little more whiny than normal and he has very little appetite. His sleep has been broken since the fever goes up at night. I havent given him any fever reducers. His lips are getting pretty chapped. My nephew was diagnosed with type b infuenza on monday and we played with him over the weekend. At first I was fairly certain we got sick from him, but Im concerned about his lips starting to crack and the duration. Is lip cracking normal for the flu and is ?
|
Hi.... cracking of lips is not a sign of thermophilous B influenza infection. You need not worry about it. By what you say I feel that your kid is going through a viral illness. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves, so that you can be more confident. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -

Hi dear welcome to the Chat Doctor, Walking is an important milestone for the growing babies. Quite variables. Depends upon many factors like nutrition, genetic factor, constitutional. Enviormental, seasonal, socio-economical, any chronic disease prenatal or postnatal. For most is Rickets in the current living scenario.Sometimes walking may start at the age of 15 months. Improve his nutrition, add vitamin D, multivitamin etc. Hope he will start walking.thanks

My wife aged 36 years is suffering from fever for the last 3 days. Her temp has been fluctuating from 100 - 104. After consulting a physician she has been advised to take the below medicine: Dicloran-A (Twice daily); Timo-O (Twice Daily), Cetrizine (Twice Daily) and Pantraz-D (Twice daily). Her state has not improved much excepting that the fever now comes down to normal and after 10 hours again reaches 100/ 101. Please advise.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have high fever since 3 days, and it is regressive down a DIF regress comes back again which could be due to viral infection. Need not worry much. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out exact level of infection in your body. Till now keep going with the course which your physician already prescribed you as it will take 7-10 days for viral fever to come back to normal. Take anti-inflammatory and NSAIDs combination. Chat Doctor. You should take proper rest. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

It feels like it is hot I am going in for an ultrasound next week but I wonder what it could be. My blood tests reveal elevated kidneys and elevated glucose.

Hello, This can be due to problem in your kidney like stones or cysts. Pain from the kidney stones can refer or radiate to back side or to thigh and groin region. Your tests show abnormality and high glucose level in blood can definitely be due to some disorder there. Let me tell you whether you have any other history like diabetes mellitus, gall stones etc. You may need an ultrasound. You are therefore suggested to see a physician and get properly examined so that proper treatment can be initiated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello...I am a woman who is 53 years old..(look and feel 35) with a history of diabetes for the past 20 years (which was under control til the last 2 years) .and blood pressure for the past 3 years (under control). I do not face any problems or have any symptoms of kidneys problems. Recent tests have shown blood urea of 46 mg/dl and serum creatinine of 1.5mg/dl.Does this mean that my kidneys are badly damaged while I do not have any symptoms?
|
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for your querying the query you have mentioned that you are suffering from diabetes for the past 20 yrs and hypertension for the past 3 yrs.and those are under control. Please check once your blood pressure and blood glucose levels. Normal value of serum creatinine is 0.6-1.1 mg/DL in women. And you have 1.5Normal value of blood urea is 6-21 mg/DL in women.and you have 46 mg/DL.the cause for these elevations is mostly because of BP and blood sugar levels. Check for the levels. If they are normal means you should take water more than now.then your kidney levels will come to normal. Consult physician for more suggestionsThank you Chat Doctor.

hi, my name is rose and i am 27 years old, on my recent ultrasound it is said in the result that there is 6mm simple appearing cyst within the mid to upper pole of the right kidney, what does it means? is it connected to the pain i am experiencing everyday on the right lower part of my hips or back?
|
HelloThanks for query . You have pain in lower back on Rt side and have been detected to have a simple cyst of a size of 6 mm in your Rt kidney. These cysts are congenital in origin and benign in nature and most of the time detected accidentally when Ultrasound Scanning is being done as a routine protocol of investigation in some other abdominal problems, It is benign in nature and does not require any treatment. Treatment is advised in a situation when there is sudden increase in size of the cyst, or it gets infected. The pain that you have is definitely due to this cyst but could be due to sprain in para spinal muscles and needs to consult qualified Orthopedic surgeon. Taking painkillers and physiotherapy to back may help to relieve pain. Chat Doctor.

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The most clinching history is you have diarrhea and lower back pain. Since you have undergone all other tests and an opinion of a Gynecologist, which have turned out to be normal, I would advise you the following:Get blood and urine and stool tested. Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotic along with anti-spasmodic whenever necessary. This should solve your problem. If required take an opinion of a Gastroenterologist and get colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen done, considering your pre-menopausal age to rule out any cancers. .

Because my period is late and starting to have lower cramping and tired alot when I was pregnant with my daughter I had all my pregnancy symptoms early that s why I m kinda worried!!
|
HiT his tablet will not cause any issues because of your age. Hormonal pills can cause nausea and abdominal cramps which will reduce in a few days. You have not mentioned, how late is your period. Next choice pills are effective in preventing pregnancy. But it is safe to take a urine test by 10 days of missed period to rule out pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query.

Hi, It seems to me that you are suffering from allergic rhinitis. I would suggest you to take some antiallergics like antihistamines, decongestants or both as needed. Regular use of an intranasal steroid spray regularly may combat your symptoms. There are various triggers which precipitate such symptoms like indoor allergens, nonspecific triggers like smoke, strong perfumes, fumes, rapid changes in temperature and outdoor pollution. Consider avoidance of these situations or triggers if they seem to aggravate symptoms.

I was diagnosed with idiopathic urticarial & angioedema. This is the 2nd episode I have had since May. However, the angioedema is only affecting my ankles & knees. The swelling is not very noticeable but the pain in my joints is a 7-8. Dr. (rheumatologist) wants me to start methotrexate & folic acid. I just lost weight from the steroids I was on for the 1st outbreak. I can t find any info on the internet regarding angioedema that bothers your knees and ankles. Is this a good treatment even with all the side effects?

You need to know angiooedema is rapid swelling of the dermis, subcutaneous tissue. Mucosa and submucosal tissue. And it is similar to urticaria, but with urticaria, commonly s in the upper dermis hives, occurs in upper dermis. In your case if its only pain at ankle and knee level and there is no swelling involved then it may not be related to angioodema. I suggest going ahead and have secondary opinion if there is any severe side effect with this. Many times it is reported people who was taking this medication they have developed angioodema. So my question is for what your doctor have given you methotrexate and folic acid medication? Well here it's not clear in what you have mention so I strongly recommend to check with one more doctor on this with showing him all reports. Here without checking the detail report and the treatment history I can not suggest you on this so just giving general guideline. You can use cold pack and hot pack to reduce inflammation and swelling along with pain. You can also take physiotherapy treatment to have some more relief and do knee and ankle exercise to increase the soft tissue strength with that also you will feel better. Hope this was useful for you if there is any doubt right it here again with details. Take care

Feeling drowsiness, nausea, vomiting , blurred vision. For the last one month there has been report of chest congestion /pain. Age of the patient is 52 years & is male. Two years back there has been a minor head injury( The patient fell because of drowsiness)....after that there has been no treatment in this regard
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, in my opinion, you should definitely take him to hospital and get done blood pressure monitoring (to rule out hypertension), ECG, 2d echo (to rule out cardiac diseases) and MRI brain (to rule out brain diseases). Possibility of hypertension related chest pain, congestion, nausea, vomiting, blurring of vision, giddiness is more likely. So take him to hospital without waiting more. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks.

I am a female approaching 50 . Recently I am in constant pain in my back upper thigh area near my buttocks. I have pain in my lower back and due to a fall in 2008 I have pain in my neck. ( I have had all kinds of treatments including therapy and shots but no permanent relief) I am beginning to have difficulty getting up and moving, as well as standing in one position for very long. I have recently encountered swelling in my feet after walking for several days. I thought walking would help with the pain in my back. I have had blood work and my thyroid check, test results were negative, except my albumin was low and my liver showed a slight irregularity, possibly due to consuming aleve. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Physiotherapy of back muscles in the form of stretching and strengthening of paravertebral muscles plays a major role in providing support to the degenerated spine thereby reducing the pain in an indirect manner. Even if physiotherapy fails to provide you pain relief, then you may try RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION (RFA). This procedure is used to reduce pain especially chronic low back pain. Though the degree of pain relief varies from person to person, it is said to provide pain relief in more than 70% of the cases. Hope this information is helpful. Good day

hi doctor i have problem in my penis one curvature downside and right side and too much pain in time of incourses and not erectile problem these all problem because i did over mostribution then i was 12 year old up to 25 year 3 time a day 4 time a day
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Excess masturbation can cause mental problems like anxiety but cannot cause physical problems or health related problems as you mention here. Those are myths. Curvature could be due to your masturbation. But that is a blessing. Curved penis will provide you more pleasure inside a vagina than straight penis because curved penis provides more friction. Pain is not associated with the curvature. I think you are anxious and obsessive with these sexual matters, and you are worried. Such obsession often causes performance anxiety. Keep away from anxiety and gain correct knowledge. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hello dear, I understand your concern. There are various causes for miscarriage like genetic anomalies, hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities, progesterone insufficiency, uterine anomalies, infections,diabetes, anaemia etc. All the above causes should be ruled out by necessary investigations like ultrasound, thyroid profile, HB etc. Nothing to worry. Once the cause is treated miscarriage won't repeat. Chat Doctor. But avoiding

hello 1 year ago i had a heart ablation done related to ongoing svts treated w/ meds. since then the procedure has corrected the problem. well now i am on 3 antidepressants effexor 150mg, xanax 0.5mg bid, and abilify. This combonation has helped me feel great!. My other dx: SLE, Fibromyalgia, and IBS. I am 35 years old and a women. My question is should I contact my cardiologist is my new heart palpatations dont end soon? Its been infrequently and it started about 6 -7 days ago.
|
Generally ablation is effective in 95 % cases for effective long term treatment for certain type of SVT. So the common reasons of palpitation at this juncture would be 1) Subjective. As part of the spectrum of IBS and associated anxiety 2) The medications you are on can also cause palpitation, though not very often. 3) There may be a recurrence of SVT. The best way if the symptoms occur every day is to get a 24 hour holder monitoring. Based on the results we would get an idea about the morphology and would even help your doctor to decide the further plan of action. Regards Chat Doctor.

hi i have broken my big toe and it was put in a cast yesterday i have anxiety problems and when i got in bed i could no longer bear it being in the cast so i pulled it off is there anything else i can wear besides the cast like maybe just bandage it up
|
Hi there. What mainly directs the course of treatment is which toe is broken. Generally if there is no external injury of the toe which is communicating with the fracture then conservative management is done. If it is the big toe which is broken, then casting is necessary as a majority of your weight-bearing is transmitted through the big toe. If your fracture is not a bad one then you can put on a crΓͺpe bandage and see if that works for you, but I would still strongly suggest putting on a cast. Whichever mode of treatment you choose to avoid putting any weight on the affected foot for a minimum of 6 weeks until the fracture unites. It might be worrying about someone who has not been put on a cast earlier, but with good care and following adequate precautions it is very safe.

Hi, i have had some type of novocaine for fillings, the first filling done on upper right, 2 days later tremendous pain in my teeth on left side, asked the dentist, he didnt have a clue, a week later filled cavity on lower right, same occurrence,(on left side) a week later cavity on upper left, 2 days later extreme pain, mostly in bottom left, every tooth was like nerves on fire, now the teeth on upper left hurting, but not as much, but face swelling much more. pain is intense. Thank you for any information, also my throat on left side seemed too close, have been feeling nauseous, but i think from pain.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain on the left upper and lower teeth can be because of the decay involving the pulp and the periapical area. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph of the teeth where you have pain. If there is any infection in the root tip of these teeth, then get them treated with RCT and crown. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500Β mg and metronidazole 400Β mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) till we confirm the diagnosis. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

does occipital nueralgia pains cause symptoms similar to a seizure...the pain causes my arms to draw up towards the pain on the left side of my head..sometimes my legs extend outwards. this episode w the pain last no longer than 10 sec... i am alert during this episode but my speech is slurred. was on dilantin for 18 yrs for partial seizures.. off meds in may this year..symptoms returned but my neurologists said its occipital neuralgia..tried several meds plus a nerve block..didnt work..head pain episodes usually the same time everyday for a few days then change to different times for a few more days at the same time..have you any idea what this could be?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Occipital neuralgia IA a condition due to the over stimulation of occipital nerve which supplies part of skin at the back of head. Symptoms of occipital neuralgia might include the followingBurning, and throbbing pain that typically starts at the base of the head and radiates to the scalp. Pain on one or both sides of the head. Pain behind the eye. Sensitivity to light. Tender scalp. Pain when moving the neck. A severe attack of occipital neuralgia can sometimes trigger a seizure. The typical occurrence of occipital neuralgia involves symptoms for a period of seconds to minutes after which the patient returns to normal. If you experience other symptoms lasting for a longer duration then the possibility of a partial seizure cannot be ruled out. For this you should get an EEG done and results discussed with the neurologist. Chat Doctor. Please do not worry.

Hello my mum has safer curveation of the spine and neck pain and now she cannot even hold her neck as its like the mussels have gone or weaken and she is in so much pain. we have been to hospital twice and to the doctors and only given pain relief. I feel she is not being helped properly.
|
Hello! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. I would like to know the cause of this creation. The deformities of the spinal column can occur from a wrong position or may also be caused by degenerative disorders affecting the bones, like osteoporosis etc. Spinal column surgery can also cause deformities, when vertebral bodies are taken away. When the deformities are in a high grade, they can cause dysfunction of the heart and the lungs, besides the chronic pain. So It is important to treat this condition. The most important thing is to establish the cause of these changes, by having some tests for osteoporosis or inflammatory disorders. I would recommend a lot of physiotherapy, to help reinforce the back muscles. Another option of treatment would be surgery, with fixation and fusion of the vertebral bodies. This technique is good to help avoid the cardio-vascular insufficiency, but can lead to chronic disabilities in spinal column movements. You should discuss with a neurosurgeon on this option. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!

Hello doctor,I have an itching and painful irritation around scrotum since two days. I applied Caladryl two times, it caused more pain for a while. It seems like the scrotum has slightly become red and there are some rashes on it. The rashes or pimples or pimples whatever, they are small in size and cause pain when they get in contact with anything. Due to this problem, I am not able to walk. I had fever some days before, so I did not maintain proper hygiene. Maybe this is the main reason for my problem. Please, suggest me a home remedy. I am a 22-year-old college student.

Hi. It could be folliculitis of the scrotum, a very common complaint in this season. Kindly upload appropriate images of the lesions so that we can suggest you better. For more information consult a dermatologist online Take care.

Painful swollen upper lip and tender left nostril. It started 3 days ago but swelling appear yesterday night only. Front tooth below left nostril been root canalled years ago and is capped as well. Mild pain in this tooth and adjacent one when hit with lower jaw, very mild pain. But really swollen upper lip and tender left nostril. I am really worried? What it could be. Have been taking coamoxiclav and ibuprofen from yesterday.

Hello and welcome. As per the history posted here it appears that you have developed an abscess in relation to teeth in the upper jaw. The present swelling could be a sign of spreading infection there. Please visit your dentist soon and get it clinically evaluated. As you are already taking antibiotics there is nothing to worry much, but please remember it requires surgical Chat Doctor. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

About a year ago, I had a root canal on a tooth. Yesterday I went to my dentist because I thought the filling had fallen out. Turns out that the tooth was cracked and split in two. The dentist pulled the loose half out. He suggested a crown but said I had to wait until the area heals. Today, the material from the root canal fell out. I called my dental office and was told that as long as it doesn t hurt, I m okay. I don t know what to do.
|
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when a tooth is split in 2 halves then the treatment depends on two things, if the split is extended till the gums then you have to go for extraction of tooth, as there can be further infection. And if the doctor is asking you to wait this means that the split is superficial, but still if material has come out then you should go for re-restoration. Hope it will help you.

A long time ago i had a bruise on my left upper outside thigh and it cleared up, it left like a dent/raised area in my leg. I asked two GPs and they said nothing to worry about and it was just fatty tissue. I have since noticed a small little bump/lump in the area. What should i do?
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Most likely it could be an organized hematoma, which might subside by itself, or with the help of some anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. There is nothing to be worried. In case this increases or pain increases, then I would rather go for an FNAC followed possibly by an excision biopsy of the lesion. Further management would depend on the report. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hello, my 83 year old aunt who is a dibetic, has a metallic taste in her mouth. is has disrupted her life to the point she has stopped eating and now drinks only orange juice. my 79 year old mother my aunts youngest sister is very worried about her and asked for some sort of reason for this. My aunt heas not gone to the hospital yet but will go if it become much more serious. thank you. ..........I should have known there was some kind of hook hidden in your website. i understand that a doctor cant work for free but couldnt you be upfront enough tonote on the first line of you ad that there is a fee, albeit a small one but to receive your answer you will have to pay. some of us less paid individuals dont have the exrta $15 or $30 dollars to pay out when our family members are ill. our medical system here in canada is set up so that we can be treated for anything at a minimal cost or in other cases for free. i am sorry that i wasted both your time as well as mine to have a question answered that may be completely different from the actual problem. i feel i have been misled by your site. Please be considerate of lower income people who would feel somewhat better to be able to ask a medical question and be treated as a human not a dollar sign. Gordon Harper, YYYY@YYYY
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Metallic taste in the mouth can be due to many etiological factors. Since your aunt is a diabetic, the medicines used for diabetic can itself induce the metallic taste in the mouth as an adverse effect. * Sometimes common cold, nasal infection or sinusitis are associated with this problem. *Poor oral hygiene, periodontitis often case the metallic taste in mouth. If I had a patient with the similar complaint I would have recommended them to have citrus fruits for next couple of days and maintenance of good oral hygiene. Also maintaining the sugar levels is very important. If the problem still persists, please consult your local doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

I also have sore teeth but not toothache
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of lung infection (pneumonia) and bronchitis is more. Both of them can cause coughing, phlegm production, breathing difficulty, sweating etc. So immediately consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia 3. PUT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You will need higher antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright. But first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have boil or enlarged lymph node. Enlarged lymph node may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or metastatic breast cancer. So it should be tested. Go for examination. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. 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.

I have an uncomfortable sensation on the scar of the c section (which I never had before, toward right side and pretty low) and am a little achy in my right lower back (kidney area?). Any idea what this might be as a result of?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical Musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you had C-section 18 years ago, and you are 51, due to C-Section and aging factor there will be degenerative changes which leads to backache. In my clinical practice we find females with C-section and back pain. It is common as post delivery most females do not Strengthen the core and the lumbar spinal becomes weak.Also, they all respond well to physical therapy Post core stability and core strengthening exercises. I will recommend you to undergo Physical therapy and get your core stabilized to avoid any nerve impingement and recurrent back aches. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

hi this is my 1st pregnancy & i had sex during ovulation & 13 days after ovulation i started 2 spot at 1st it was pink then brown then fresh red blood my uterus is sore & i have all my pregnancy symptoms i also bleed again this month & it was spotty for 5 days with cramping around my hips & i was just wondering where or what could be causing the blood?
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. It is unclear from your question how you are sure you are pregnant; did you do a urine pregnancy test? Pregnancy symptoms can vary widely between women and the most common sign of pregnancy is a missed period. If you have had a positive pregnancy test during this time, bleeding on and off like this can be a sign of miscarriage or an abnormal pregnancy. I suggest you see a GUN doctor who can measure the level of pregnancy hormone in your blood and perform and ultrasound test to make sure the pregnancy is developing normally. I hope I was able to answer your question and best of luck for the rest of the pregnancy,

Hi .. For about a week now I have noticed this weird rash that is blotchy and bumps that are a little raised and itchy it comes and goes and it actually went away for 2 days and then came back just now but was all over my body and a little warm .. I noticed when I get a little stressed or nervous/excited/anxious it gets more intensified .. Can you please help?
|
Hi.thanks for the query. The symptoms you mention seem to be a part of a disorder known as URTICARIA. This is manifested either for few days or months to years depending upon the severity. Although it is not something that you should be very worried about, it runs a prolonged course of exacerbations and remissions in most cases. As IT IS ONLY A WEEK, I suggest you go ahead with a course of oral anti-histaminic medicines which are available OTC in most countries. If it is persistent over 6-8 weeks, you might require a blood test to be done. Observe your daily routine carefully. Rightly said, some people do see the lesions after stress etc. In some, a particular kind of food/inhalation may cause it. Take care!

Hi Doctor;I am 29 years old, 180 cm height, and 160 pounds weight. My blood work showed high (54) SGPT (ALT) (reference range 4-43). I was wondering what the reasons can be. I was wondering if it has anything to do with heavy sport. I read somewhere that in the case of muscle injury, ALT can go up.Thanks
|
Hello Thanks for writing to ChatDoctorIncreased ALT indicates liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines etc. It is not related to heavy sport. You need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS), renal function test(RFT), lipid profile, GGT level, viral markers, urine RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen. In my practice, for patients like you, I suggest tablet Ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months more. It will help in regeneration of liver cells. You may need more Chat Doctor. You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products. You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol if you take it. Get well soon. Hope I have answered your question. Take Care

Last Spring I injured my rib area on the right side of my back while using a tiller. It seems to get better then flares up again. It doesn t hurt, it aches and kind of burns. I can aggravate the area by moving wrong while doing something. Most recently I was caring for my bed ridden mother in law and it has gotten much worse. Taking Motrin works. What can I do to help it heal. I see a massage therapist once a month. Should I go more often or is there something else I can do.
|
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Based on the description, I suspect that you could have suffered Intercostal magic or neuralgia.* Use Ice packing over the affected area as this will numb the local nerves providing relief of symptoms* Apply moist heat fomentation to relax the tensed soft tissues* Local analgesic gel application as needed* Avoid the movements that hurt you* Continue Motrin for a few day Hope this information is helpful.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The tooth pain could be because of the tooth infection like pulpits or root tip infection. Consult your oral physician and take radiograph and confirm the diagnosis. If I am your treating doctor I would have advised root canal treatment for the affected tooth. Meanwhile I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like penicillin and analgesics like diclofenac(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

Hi Im 41 years old. Ive had pain and swelling in my upper gum above one of my front teeth. its been sore for a while but swelling began in the last week. This morning its worse and can feel swelling on the outer side of my nostril when I blow my nose. I had a root canal on the tooth about 9-10 years ago, but doubt that would have anything to do with it??
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swollen gums can be secondary to infection in the gums from a root canal treated tooth leading to abscess formation. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis, if it is a gum infection, then get your teeth cleaned. Meanwhile take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. If it is a tooth infection in the root canal treated tooth, the root canal treatment has to be repeated. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

I am a 44 year old female with pain in my mid to left back, I have shortness of breathe and dizzy/light headed. I currently have stopped take my hormone replacement medication. Can these symptoms be due to stopping my hormone replacement medication?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you're all symptoms can be due to stopping of hormone replacement medication. You are approaching menopause. And hormonal imbalance is likely during this phase. This kind of imbalance causes mood disorder, stress, anxiety, depression etc. And all these causes' breathlessness, back pain etc. But better to rule out other possible causes first. So first get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out internal lung related causes. If both these are normal then no need to worry. Your symptoms are mostly due to stopping hormonal therapy. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello Doctor Rynne,The area on my right hand below my thumb near the area where my palm meets my wrist has been a dull ache for at least a week but just about ten minutes ago I have started getting sharp pains. I m wondering if the achiness and now the pains are from not drinking enough water each day? I m a 54 year old postmenapausal woman, if that helps to know.
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain your thumb, I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

Dear Doctor,Can one suffer from multiple personality disorders simultaneously? In the past couple months, I have come to think that I have ADHD, anti-social personality disorder, narcissism, depression, and possibly a bipolar personality disorder. Trust me, I am not one of those hypochondriac people whore always trying to find whats wrong with them. On the contrary, until 2 or 3 years ago, I thought there was absolutely or almost nothing wrong with me. You will probably advise that I seek psychiatric help (and I couldnt agree more), but the problem is that two or three doctors Ive seen so far believe that, apart from depression, I am essentially all right (just because I dont hear voices :)Thank you,Helen
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you trust those two three doctors. They are trained to diagnose mental issues and all three cannot be wrong. You are not Hyperion Chat Doctor. The symptoms presenting itself made you to think about it over and over again, and it became obsessive. Obsession leads to anxiety and anxiety brings on the symptoms again. You need counseling and psychotherapy. I shall provide you with the required counseling and psychotherapy techniques online, to overcome these problems. Please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

A few days ago my leg started tingling, and still is. It is mainly behind the knee, my whole calf and half of my thigh. I also have a burning sensation. It comes and goes but last for many hours, and it actually feels better when I m up walking and worse when I am lying down. And just yesterday I have developed an ear infection, which I get frequently. Can these be related and if so what could it be?
|
Dear patient your symptoms of tingling in leg and ear infections makes me to suspect diabetes. For which you should get your glucose testing done. If it is positive see a specialist and if negative go for MRI spine, which can show if some nerve root is getting pressed. For which you can go for nerve root blocks or epidural steroid injections. But first get a diabetes screening done. For any query you can ask me again, anytime.

My son had a bike wreck. He landed on his elbow. He had elbow pain and could not extend his arm fully. Dr. could not see the fracture on X-ray but fat pads were pushed out. Sail sign. He was put in a cast for 5 weeks. It has been off for a week and a half. He still cannot extend his arm much more than he could after the wreck. What do you suggest?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history. As per the history it looks to me that post wreck injury the bodies protective mechanism has started and to safeguard the joint, the muscles have gone into spam and contracture for time being. I will advise you to wait till the cast is removed post which with physical therapy your son will regain the full elbow functionality. This is a common reaction and there is nothing to worry. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have completely lost my appetite and have almost dropped from 9 and a half stone to 6 in the space of 3 months, I do no exercise whatsoever. I went from the 24th of February this year until 2 weeks ago without a period and I wasn t pregnant. My eating problem started out as I wouldn t eat meals and I d snack now and then throughout the day but now I go days without eating a bite and if I do eat it s out of pain I have to and it s only enough to fight away the pain. I also haven t been able to sleep properly and due to this I look about as bad as I feel. In the space of 2 weeks, 3 times before I go to bed I have taken some kind of fit which I don t know what that is either. Currently I get terrible pains in my chest, ribs and recently severe back pains, my stomach makes the sound of burning acid and feels like a bruise, hurts to stand up and move around, do you have any idea what may cause this and how to fix it? I don t understand what it is as I don t worry about my weight in the slightest, I have always been slim.
|
Here you are talking something about stone it's not clear. Is it something you are taking about kidney stone? As well there is no idea about your age, over all weight, how much it was ? And how much it is now? You need to provide your details properly. I will give here generalize answer since many things are not clear. For burning sensation in stomach, it can be acidity problem also, as well it can be gastric ulcer also, here you need to consult a doctor for evaluation and treatment. As well need to change your food habits. Keep snacks minimum, have more of cut fruits in diet. And keep one time for your food intake. Break fast keep it good, lunch keep it average and dinner keep it early by 8:00pm or before and keep it minimum. Next for your chest pain again it can also be related to gastric issue in your case. Since you are not more in weight and losing weight I am not suspecting anything with heart. But do consult a doctor if you start getting breathlessness along with chest pain. For your back pain if It's only at back then it could be related to spinal muscle weakness or over use soreness. Here you need to check on your working posture as well sleeping posture and the bed also should be suitable for spine. Detail guidelines you will get from physiotherapist. You need to visit physiotherapist and based on your back pain assessment they will suggest you exercise program which you should follow up. This will improve strength and stamina of spinal muscles. As well physio will only advise on ergonomic too, and you should follow with that too. Any time if you have radiating pain from back to legs with numbness do consult orthopedic too and go for needed test.Also, you can use hot and cold pack on your back for some more pain relief by relaxing and having soothing effect on soft tissues. Take care.

For the past 3 or 4 days I have had slight pressure on my upper left abdomen right under my rib cage. It is starting to clear up but at first when I would swallow it was as if I could feel the food moving down my throat and into my stomach and when it entered my stomach it hurt. The next day it was just pressure and pain on my upper left side but still hurt when I swallowed. What is going on and how can I fix it?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The cause of your symptoms look to be Hyper-acidity, increased acid production in the stomach with reflux into esophagus. HERD as it is called is severe at the moment causing you the pain while swallowing, moving in esophagus and entering the stomach. The pressure on your left upper abdomen is due to severe gastritis. I would advise you the following :Cold liquids onlyRanitidine and PPI together as the condition is severeAntacid gel 3 SF 3 hourly Risperidone 8 hourly Upper GI EndoscopyAnti-anxiety medicines required admission to the hospital as intravenous fluids can be given. Complete the courses till you are recovered completely.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair fall which seems to be due to genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies and due to fungal infection of hair follicles. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply olive oil on hair follicles and massage it properly. You should use finasteride preparations. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should get patch test done and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antifungal medications. Avoid use of any hard cosmetics substances on scalp. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Female - Age 48 - Electrical shock feeling behind left breast that goes up into my left clavical/neck area.It comes and goes. I was awakened in the middle of the night feeling electrical pains. Since, Ive been tenderon the left side and sometimes feel short of breathe.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, well should first rule out heart diseases in your case. So first get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

It is again inconclusive. Doctor has advised me to start Tab. Loprine 75 mg (OD). I am physically fit, non-smoker, active, with no symptoms of any chect pain even during jogging. could please advise me about starting Loprine, its timing, side effects etc.

Hi, Although there is no clear-cut indication for Lorraine in you, but we were also not able to rule out the disease, by negative test, the only test which can answer this is an angiography which is certainly not indicated in you. Why don't you discuss the option of ct coronary angiography with your doctor. It is taken at bedtime, the side effects are gastritis, bleeding especially from stomach, or excessive bleeding in case of injury. Although dose is low less likely to cause significant side effects. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My uncle is in critical condition, he has staph in his colon and stomach, they have also had to put a trake in his throat, because he can not breathe and they had him on life support with it down his throat at first, I do not understand why they changed it but they did they say he is to weak to undergo surgery and he is also retaining fluid all over his body, his kidneys have shut down 1 time already , but are supposto be working now, can you give some advice and help me better understand . they say also he has colitis .
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Staph infection is very notorious in causing infections that can't be controlled easily. It releases toxin which affects normal body function and spreads through blood. Tracheostomy is done when a patient cannot breathe normally and normal amount of oxygen does not reach the lungs or the oxygen saturation starts falling. Kidneys and liver are important organs required to maintain proper functioning of the body by excreting toxic substances out of the system. He needs to be on life support until his system can take care of itself without life support. Doing surgery now involves a lot of risk, and he may not be able to withstand a surgery. That is why the doctors want to control the infection with medications. Hope this helps

I need a gallbladder and hysterectomy removal. I m trying to get the doctors who all work at the same hospital as most of my other doctors. Please tell me about this operation? By the way on my own I lost 190 lbs. so I have a lot of extra skin for 58 year old.
|
Hi.thanks for posting query incomplete information why do you need your gall bladder to be removed along with uterus?gall stones are common cause for gall bladder surgeryGallstones are small stones that form inside the gallbladder. Gallstones pain (Biliary colic) usually is experienced when the gallbladder contracts in response to a fatty meal. This compresses the stones, blocking the opening. As the gallbladder relaxes several hours after the meal, the pain subsides.1. Biliary colic -"The pain without cholecystitis- gallbladder infection/inflammation" - usually subsides within few hours to a day. Acute cholecystitis secondary to gallstones may be continuous and accompanied by fever.2. Medical therapy is an option for gallstones, though a vast number of surgeons around the globe prefer removal of gall bladder-surgical intervention. Medical therapy includes intake of ursodeoxyholic acid (UCA) for a period of 12 to 24 months. UCA has been shown to inhibit biliary secretion of cholesterol, reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol, increase hepatic bile secretion, and improve gallbladder emptying. Medical therapy is useful if mild symptoms, stones are smaller (weight reduction and low-fat diet is also a part of medical therapy.3. Surgery lasts for less than one hour (usually half an hour). Laparoscopic surgery has greatly reduced surgery time duration and surgical complications. You may travel 7 to 10 days after surgery, though the surgeon may indicate precise time. I would also like to mention that gall bladder is removed completely in surgical intervention which may impair fat digestion. You maybe asked to cut fat completely from your diet (or keep to minimum) after gall bladder surgery. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good and sound health. Regards Chat Doctor.

I have debilitating health problems that just seem to be getting worse and worse. I have 6 diffrent specialist that I see and they just come up with one medical problem after another. I am 38 and been and off and on smoker for 10 years. I was recently told I have emphysema. I have had medical and health problems my whole life and I asked to finally be tested for Alpha-1 because my sister tested positive but we have different fathers. I am a M1M1 and my antitrypsin is 161. But when looking at all symptoms I have all but 1. My question is with my health history should I be looking for something else to be the cause of can this still be a possibility
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Being a smoker emphysema can occur at any age. And smoking make you more vulnerable to get emphysema at this antitrypsin level. So if you have chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) suggestive of emphysema than you are suffering from it only. No need to search for the cause. Better to start treatment. 1. Smoking cessation should be the almost priority.2. Inhaled bronchodilators.3. Pulmonary rehabilitation with chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise. 4. Pulmonary vaccination with pneumococcal and h.influenza vaccines.

Dear sir,iam 30 yrs old .i got married in 2010 feb.till iam not conceive.prob is my left side fallpian tube is blocked .my doctor is suggested laproscopy.iam very fear abt it.i want remedy without any sugeries.pls findout any solution with any medicine
|
Hello, By saying that your left tube is blocked I think the RIGHT tube is normal & patent. If so you can try for pregnancy with one tube. No matter which side the egg comes, it will find its way through the open tube. But when you get pregnant have an early scan to confirm pregnancy is in uterus, not in tube. There is no medicine to open a blocked tube. If both tubes are blocked you will have to go for Hystero-Laparoscopy. Under hysteroscopy guidance tubal recanalization can be done. It's not a major or bloody surgery. You can get discharged on the same day. Or else you have to opt for IVF- which doesn't require tubes Hope I cleared your doubtful the best Chat Doctor.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my mother is 86 years old and still living in her own home. She has two feral cats from 12 years ago, and they are now domesticated. She has complained about bites on her legs which are large welts, red, and take several weeks to heal. I thought they were bug bites, but her physician says that they dont look like bug bites, but more like an infection caused by the cats nails kneading into my moms legs. What do you think, and if so, is this harmful to her health?
|
HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. If she is getting cat bites or scratches better to give her rabies prophylaxis vaccination. Those wound will, can contain bacteria and cause infection. Proper cleaning of wound and applying Betadine or brilliant green will help in healing. Antibiotics will be required if this is not helping. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold and cough which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection or poor immunity of body. Need not worry. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room and take throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. You can go for blood and sputum tests as well. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medications. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I have had mouth ulcers for over 2 weeks which have almost cleared with using an anti inflammatory mouthwash and anti bacterial mouthwash. My lips would swell at night and I am still getting slight numbness on the outside of my lips. However now I have stopped using the mouthwash my lips have started itching and I can feel the inside getting lumpy. I have only ever had the occasional ulcer and have never had anything like this before. I am 54 have type 2 diabetes (hereditary, not due to obesity) and have hypertension (also hereditary).
|
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have ulcers don't be worried so much ulceration can be due to nutritional deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, hormonal influences, stress induced. For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination, and you can apply ointment like Mugel or McCoppin on ulcers. You can also take vitamin B supplements by consulting with your local doctor. Hope this will help you.

Can I take the morning after pill? I had methotrexate on 9th January... As second line treatment for ectopic pregnancy . I eventually had my right falopian tube removed two weeks ago (18th feb) in the second laparoscopy as I got a hematosalpinx ... ChatDoctor was below 2 at the time of this surgery... Had bleeding (possible AF) from 26th to 28th Feb. Well, we have had an incident with a condom and I really am concerned that this could result in another pregnancy. I am at risk of ectopic, plus the risk of effects of methotrexate... I have been so poorly all year, I m don t feel at all able to face those risks at the moment. Can I take the levonelle 1500 emergency contraceptive pill with the recent treatment for ectopic?
|
Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor. Your situation is a little delicate to give a yes or no answer following available literature on the risks of ectopic pregnancy. A past history of ectopic pregnancy greatly increases your chances of having another ectopic pregnancy. Present literature on risk factors suggest that progesterone only pills could be less effective in preventing pregnancy and the risk of ectopic pregnancy is increase following failure of a progesterone only pill or after morning pill. However, the emergency contraception is very effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within the normal time period of less than 72 hours after intercourse especially if taken within the first 12 hours. So, given your medical and social situation at the moment, I think the scare is more in favor of a prevention by taking the emergency pill and carefully watching out with close follow up by a guns/oust. Missing your period should immediately prompt consultation for a Pregnancy test and an ultrasound. You might consider discussing this with your guns/outs. Best regards and hope this helps you.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have some viral infection or bacterial infection. Due to infection she may have some reactive enlargement of lymph node. She should take a course of antibiotics. It is not respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

I have pain behind my left knee. It is a sharp, almost stinging pain. Not associated with the kneecap. It feels better when I go to a reformer pilates class (which I do at least 4 times per week) but lately my knee has gotten worse. It is very painful to squat and somewhat painful to walk. It is worse when I am inactive but it hurts pretty much all the time now. I am in pretty good shape. 61 year old woman, probably could lose a few pounds (I am 5 6 and weigh 150 lbs), I exercise and garden and play golf and I don t want to stop any of these activities. It isn t a hamstring pull (or at least I don t think that it is) but it does feel to me more like a muscle or tendon problem as opposed to a joint or bone problem,

Hi, You might be having a meniscus tear in the knee. All symptoms are pointing towards the possibility of a meniscus tear. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by MRI of the left knee. It is highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of knee pathology. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, avoid squatting and crossed leg sitting. Start tab Attract twice a day for pain relief. Visit orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination is recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule, comes in some normal and some abnormal. Normal hemoglobin carries and releases oxygen properly, while abnormal hemoglobin doesn't. Abnormal pattern of hemoglobin suggest Hemoglobinopathy such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. My dear friend, I suggest you to follow your doctor to rule out these disorders in your child so that kids with these disorders can be diagnosed, monitored, and treated early to prevent potentially life-threatening complications.

I had a dental implant placed 3 days age. For the past two days I been clearing bright red blood from my throat. I have no signs of blood in my mouth or when blowing my nose. I did have an excessive amount of bleeding from the implant site on the first day. Is it possible the blood could be from the implant procedure?
|
Thanks for sharing your concern with Chat Doctor .! Implant site should stop bleeding immediately after procedure, however due to various conditions bleeding could be still seen for 24 Hrs. In your case, this is unusual to have the active bleeding after 3 days. Kindly place a sterile gauge and maintain the pressure for 30 minutes, if bleeding still continues, please visit your planetologist. As there could be possibility of minor blood vessels damage in the soft tissue, which can be corrected by your doctor immediately.

hello doctor.. my daughter is 2.5 years old. In march2012, she was having breath problem. then our doctor give treatment through nobalize. Now she is suffering from cold . then i went to doctor for checkup. He gave us inhaler for her. Is it safe to use inhaler for 2.5 years old baby. and i want to ask that if we use inhaler now then it will be habbit for her to use inhaler...plz suggest me.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your daughter aged 2.5 years age had breathing problem then she was given treatment with nebulizer, now when she got cold was given inhaler. Both are same by function depending on age the doctors prefer the type. Inhalers are of several types, broadly bronchodilator and steroid. Broncho dilators we should use to get relief, steroids are used only when the severity of the infection is more. Steroids are to be used rarely when ever there is necessary. Breathing problem usually develops due to allergy, and if you could find the allergen you can greatly minimize the severity of the attack. Allergens can be traced by making a list of the things used and foods on daily basis. Note when there is cold or cough. Try to find out the things used on the day of the attack of cold and avoid such things which are common. Besides I advise you some diet recommendations as avoid taking brinjal, fish, other seafoods, ice water, ice cream, cool Chat Doctor. Don't allow her to play with water. Wishing for her continued good health, and thanks for calling.

March 8 I was admitted to hospital for blood transfusion as hemoglobin was 5.7. After 3 pints of blood, I was released at 9.5. I was advised due to my continuing heavy periods and multiple fibroids, biggest at 6.3cm, I would need to be referred for hysterectomy. I am presently taking prescribed ferrous sulfate 325mg 2x day in addition to prenatal vitamins as extra vitamin coverage with orange juice to help the absorption. In addition I have altered my diet to increase my iron intake through food. Before getting a lupron shot I had started my cycle and the day of the lupron shot my hemoglobin was 10.1. Aside from providing a sample to the lab, is there any way to know how well the increased iron is helping to raise my hemoglobin? Dr will not do the surgery if hemoglobin is below 11 and I am scheduled for surgery in 3 weeks time. Thank you.
|
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. You can judge your hemoglobin via mucosal examination, but this examination gives only rough idea. Examination of tongue, conjunctiva and nail can help understand bodies hemoglobin content roughly. If you are going for surgery it is better that you should periodically examine the blood hemoglobin by laboratory since visual examination is very gross method. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.

On advil, I can still do my normal activities, but by evening, it really hurts when trying to get up and down.

Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to an injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also recommend maintaining the area immobilized and use cold compresses for local application. Furthermore, I recommend resting and maintain the knee elevated to help with the swelling and inflammation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am 76, ht 5ft 5 in, weight 150 lbs. I take Diovan 80 once a day. Lately I feel very tired in the PM and started monitoring my BP. Today i took one-half of my pill and now, at 1:30 my BP is 108/83 , pulse 59. Should I be worried? Should I contact my Dr.?
|
Hiyou were on a dose of 80Β mg Alsatian and you were feeling week even on halving the tablet your blood pressure is still on the lower side while taking any hypertensive medication you should keep a record of your blood pressure every week and should visit your doctor every two months, because on the basis of the blood pressure records doctor is going to taper the dose of the blood pressure medicine you are ones of now your weakness is most likely because of the overdose of divans make the doses half and check your BP twice a day and try to taper it to a dose where your BP is 120/80 .yes you can plan a visit to doctor

43, non-smoker, white, eat pretty well, fairly fit marathoner, high cholesterol but maintained with Niaspan. Just had echocardiogram and results are mild aortic sclerosis. Reading about this..wow..what more can/should I do? Have not been back for follow up yet..
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would recommend taking a statin (atorvastatin, simvastatin, etc.) and daily aspirin 80Β mg, to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis and prevent for possible ischemic events. From the other hand, I would recommend periodically scheduled follow-ups with ultrasound every 12 months and routing check up (blood lipid profile, resting ECG, chest X-ray study and further lab tests) every 6 months. It is important avoiding possible risk factors: - diet modifications (low salt and fat intake)- control better high blood pressure - avoid smoking and alcohol intake. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

My husband has esophageal cancer and it has spread to his liver and lungs. They want to use taxatere, xoladan and cistplatin. Is this the best treatment. He has already had radiation and 5fu, carboplastin, and xoladen, and eperubicin. that treatment is not working any longer
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has esophageal cancer. His cancer is spread to the lung and liver. Sp it is considered as stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not possible at this stage. So only treatment options left are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He has taken radio and chemotherapy. That regimen is not working, so other regimen cisplatin can be used. However, despite all treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. 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.

i am trying to understand mri stating a large central disc protrusion measuring 8mm in ap dimension at l 4-5 which causes significant spinal stenosis.there is also prominent facet artrhropathy at this level which contributes to spinal stenosis with effacement of the thecal sac.tis is just one of many protrusions of the back and neck
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The lower back is made up of an alignment of small bones. These bones have sponge like discs between them and the spinal cord passes along the back of these bones through the spinal canal. You seem to be having one of the discs protruding between the bones and this protrusion is backwards and causing narrowing of the spinal canal. An 8 mm disc protrusion is a large one and can cause significant pinching of the nerve roots at L 4 - 5 level leading to severe pain in your back and legs. There are patients who get relief by doing physiotherapy and taking neurogenic pain relievers. If your pain is severe and not responding to medical treatment then the disc protrusion needs to be removed by doing a small surgery at the lower back region. Presently, laser assisted surgical techniques are also available.

I have a hard/big like a marble lump on buttcheeck. When i popped it, white pimple like stuff came out then blood,puss.it also shot across the room didnt just ooze out. Had a shower today tried to pop it because its very sore an grew in size but nothing will come out. I get these every now and then. When they go away they leave scars. What is this? Is it from sweating? Do i go get it drained? What can i take to not keep getting these. The ones on the past are usually filled with blood an puss.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. These look to be recurrent meaning coming again and again pus filled lumps on butt cheek. They appear to be recurrent boils due to recurrent skin infection. I would advise you the following:Get the pus - microscopy, culture and sensitivity done if you have got these now or whenever you get them next time. Apply liquid provide iodine before and after bath and at bedtime. Change to new underwear, preferably cotton and to change them daily and cleaned on daily basis. Take a course of antibiotic like doxycycline for 3 weeks to 3 months under the supervision of your Doctor, preferably a Dermatologist. With these measure you may be alright forever.

hi doctor, i am experiencing an acid reflux right now..i have this issue like 2months now but i tried to work it out with zantax..it helps at first but just last week i have this cough and painful throat..and ive been vomiting everytime i ate something..i dont know if its because of my hertburn..im taking losenges right now just to ease my scratchy throat. i have an appointment with my doctor in two days..i am working right now and i dont want to be in trouble. Doc i just wanna know my condition right now and if theres other home remedy or med that i could take until my doctors appointment? Thank you doctor.

**1. Since acid reflux can reach the back of throat, and thus causes cough and sore throat, could be HERD [gastroesophageal reflux disease], thus at the time of consultation ask for Investigations like: Gastrostomy, Stool Examination, Gastric Analysis. Avoid chilies and sour food, smoking & alcohol, chickpea flour, junk food. Stop Irritants like NSAIDs [painkillers]. Chat Doctor. Mix 3 pinches each of

I had an MRI scan done and don t understand the big words. At the L4-L5 there is a mild posterior broadbased disc bulge. This along with mild facet degenerative changes is enroaching on the neural foramina on both sides. At L5-S1 level, disc height is mildly reduced. There is diffuse posterior disc bulge along with mild facet degeneration. This is enroaching on the neural foramina on both sides. What does this all mean???
|
Dear patient Let me simplify as far as possible. There vertebrae in our vertebral column and each of them is numbered Cervical 1-8Thoracic 1-12Lumbar 1-5 Sacral In between each of these vertebrae there is a disc which is meant for lubrication and mobility Sometimes the disc slips from its regular position, and then it can compress on the nerve roots which Exit from the opening between two vertebrae. This is called encroachment. Disc bulge means that there is mild backward protrusion of the disc Hope I have simplified enough to meet your satisfaction

I have experienced a sinking and a bubbling feeling in my lower-stomach: This is the first ever, time that I have had such a problem: Notwithstanding stress and anxiety, what could be the reason: I have begun to use Contrloc 40mg twice a,day: It has alleviated the intensity to a large extent with freedom of sleep and activity - No history of GERD or anxiety/depressionI do not really, want to do Berium X-ray - or, endoscopy for expense and risk reasons in the latter - especially, being, overseas as an AmericanTwo questions:What and, why this condition has arisen?What else, can I supplement the Controloc 40mg with (antibiotic etc;)? for a greater thrust?Please assistAftab - with thanks
|
Hi Aftab. Thanks for your query. The feeling of sinking and bubbling in the lower stomach can be due to an intestinal infection of mild form. I would advise you to consult a local Doctor to get you a 5-day course of an antibiotic and metronidazole with probiotics. This may solve your problem, and you may not have to do anything more. IF there is no relief you can go for the investigations of the blood, urine and stool. As also ultrasonography of the whole abdomen and endoscopies if required.

I have 180 students, and I have to program and ready 9 babies a day, every day, on top of teach my class. I have sent 140 so far. This is first time child Development has offered the babies---- Parenting class was cut from curriculum. Every night, kids email me with problems, about which I can do nothing. I am beyond exhausted and am crying constantly, with pain in my chest. I cannot memorize my lines. I feel like I cannot handle everything. I have nobody to talk to. My 15 yr old needs me.

Hi. I m experiencing extreme breast tenderness and a heavy feeling in them. I am also having what I would consider extreme food cravings. Also some mild nausea but no vomiting. I had a tubal ligation almost 4 years ago. Is it possible that I could get pregnant anyway?
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. Breast tenderness, nausea, food carvings are some signs suggestive of pregnancy, but need not always be pregnancy. +ve pregnancy test/ USG pelvis after 5 weeks pregnancy are the confirmatory signs. In your case, lobectomy being done, It's less likely to be pregnancy (however re canalization of tubes followed by conception is possible in few patients) If it is not pregnancy, it can be - gastritis, acid peptic diseases, ovarian, thyroid problems., POD . Which have similar symptoms... they need to be evaluated & treated with help of a gynecologist./ general physician. Thanks. Thanks.

Correction of the defect is easily possible for the baby too.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. As an emergency care, I will first auscultate the lungs to look for breath sounds and air entry. Secondly I will get done chest x-ray to rule out lung infection and pleural effusion because these can cause chest pain. If chest x-ray and auscultation are normal then possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. And this can be associated with spondylitis. So patient needs painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I was diagnosed with a minor leaky valve about 6 months ago and everyday I still feel pain in my chest. It feels like a brick is in my chest. I am not on any medication except for high cholesterol. I am soon to be 36 is it safe to get my teeth cleaned? A cavity filled? To get pregnant?
|
Hello, Chest pain is really atypical for a leaking valve. For this reason, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test in order to investigate for any other cardiac disorders. I would like to directly review your cardiac ultrasound report, if you could upload it, in order to be able to give a more professional opinion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I m 25, 5 7, 147lbs I just wondered when I squat down I tend to get multiple little squishy lumps appear on my shins, they are visible slightly, but painless, non irritating. It s just that they re present. I know my dad gets them too - I wondered what they were
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although it needs a physical examination before opining on it, from the history it could be the veins of your leg getting dilated while squatting. This could occur when the veins are abnormally dilated as in case of varicose veins. If I were your doctor, after a physical examination, I would advise you for a Doppler ultrasound of both lower limb vessels to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Further management would depend on the physical findings and investigation reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Getting severe abdominal pain at the center of the abdomen during night at around 2 oclck, persists till 4 o clock,,,continuous,,,horrible pain, (especially by eating masala items, maida etc) may i know what the cause may be,,,is it acidity or gallstone problem,,hv consulted many doctors, but nothing has helped. kindly help me out doctor.
|
Hi there, what you have described looks like a case of peptic ulcers and as you have rightly noticed spicy food and refined food item like maid make it worse. It would help you to get started on antacids after taking a prescription from your doctor. Also, you could make minor changes in your food habit like taking small frequent nongreasy, non-spicy food.Also, it would help if you took a short stroll after your evening meal instead of going to bed immediately. Have your meal at least 1hr before retiring for the day. If you are overweight then some sort of exercise and weight reduction may also help to relieve you of these symptoms.Doesn't look like a gall stone problem to me, but you could get an ultrasound abdomen done to rule out any such problem. Take care

My moms having really bad pain somewhere in her side/lower back/side stomach and it hurts even when she doesnt move really bad she keeps kind of screaming. She thinks it could be a pinched nerve or something with her kidney. Shes not throwing up but she is coughing sometimes, what could it be and how can she make it feel better?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The way you have explained the symptoms, it seems like low back pain mix with abdomen pain.2. Back pain generally radiated to legs not much to abdomen, due to nerve compression.3. If she is my patient I would have started with x-ray lumbar spine AP/LAT, and an ultrasound abdomen pelvis, depending on findings MRI may be necessary if it is related to nerve compression.4. So, get an appointment with your GP and get the through investigation and treatment done.5. You can make her feel better by investigating well, and getting proper treatment. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

Okay, i am 18 and i am in 12th grade, i ha testicle torsion surgery in 9th grade, it was all normal afterwards except a little discomfort but i could deal with it, but in the spring of this year i got many tippers and i got hit pretty hard 3 times, after the third hit it started to be more uncomfortable and a little pain for under an hour every now and ten, but they became monthly 3 months ago, now fast forward a bit to 2-3 weeks ago. I was masturbating harder than normal and it felt like i pulled something, twice in the same spot, after that happened i got very very nausoius and dizzy, i had pain for an hour, i went to my doc who did my surgery and he did an exam, he said everything was alright as in no cyst and it didnt twist and no cancer, i forgot to tell him i was masturbating but he said i probs pinched it or something. It has been more uncomfortable ever since that happened, like almost everyday its uncomfortable, i masturbate 3-4 times a day usually and still do, they seem to swell up a little then go back down sort of, or they just get bigger for a little bit and then go back down, but something that is troubling me is that my skin around my testicles are cold, like usually i dont feel them being cold but they are now all of a sudden, and the same thing with the tip of my penis, ik that its normal if they are a little colder but idk, and ik that te left testicle is usually bigger but my right one is bigger, the same side where i think i pulled something, my questions are these:1. I masturbated 3 days after my torsion surgery, nothin to hard but idk, could that affect it?2. Is it inflammed?3. If so what should i do4. What are the signs of inflammation5. Should i get an ultrasound?Please help and ease my mind haha, i have high anxiety so you can tell why i am worrying so much.
|
Hi I do not think masturbating causes this kind of feeling after surgery. Signs of inflammation can be swelling .pain erythema and increase in local temperature. But inflammation cannot be for so long after surgery even then use antibiotic twice daily and anti-inflammatory agent twice daily can decrease the inflammation if present. Yes ultrasound can be done to see for any changes in the passage of sperms.I think simple neurons plus daily once can cure the condition
