my mothers blood creatinine level has reached 6.1. how to control it and get reduced to normal level
|
Abnormal creatinine levels in blood indicates kidney disease. Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (DL) in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter in adult females. The most common causes of longstanding kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. The treatment for kidney diseases include diet modification, medication for blood pressure control etc., food supplements and dialysis. Please consult a nephrologist.

Hi sir, this is swetha from tirupati.. my Dad met with an accident on jan 1 Due to some effect on nerves near the medulla oblongata & spinal cord..Now he is not moving his hands & legs.. even he got the fracture of lower jaw with the 2 lips bifurcated.. he even have BP & Sugar. first we took him to svims they said us to take Him to chennai.. then we took him to chennai.. then chennai hospital said us to get back him to tirupati. so, we again returned to tirupati... now he is admitted in padmavathi hospital tirupati.. doctors are saying that it s very serious. presently they kept ventilators for artificial breath.. can u please please advice us what to do now...?
|
Unfortunately at this point there is not much more that you can do but wait. He has a serious brain and spinal injury that has affected the nerves that control breathing and movement. After such an injury, the nerve tissues swell and can cause worse symptoms. I presume the doctors are treating him with Chat Doctor. That is all that can be done. With time some of this may heal, and he may improve. But these are very critical injuries, and he may not recover. I pray for the best for you. If you have further questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Since you are permanent special care should be taken for your treatment. X-rays should be strictly avoided. Superficial caries can be extirpated and filled with a temporary filling material. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics consulting your ORGAN. Amoxicillin and paracetamol TDS can be safely taken. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take care!

I am a 52 yr. old female with fibromyalgia and several spinal injuries (ongoing). A few days ago I noticed severe soreness along my upper, left rib cage area - close to my left breast. This morning I looked in the mirror to see if there was any swelling and there are several wormy shaped bruises in the 10 inch area. The soreness is worse and I wonder what in the world it could be. I have had several cortizone injections in my back (accompanied by fluoroscope) and wonder if the radiation could be having some serious side effects. I also have a fatty liver and misplaced pancreas. I have lost 20 pounds in the past 4 months which is totally unexplained and unexpected. My GP doesnt think anything is ever wrong, but I have wonderful gastro and cardio docs. (I have two failing heart valves). HELP!
|
Hi, Swelling, soreness and wormed shaped bruises can be because of allergy to any particular Chat Doctor. It can be mild allergy or can be hives or urticaria with angioedema. Allergic hives and angioedema form, when in response to histamine blood plasma leaks out of small blood vessels in the skin. Histamine is a chemical released from specialized cells along the skins blood vessels. Allergic reactions, chemicals in certain foods, insect stings, sunlight exposure, or medications can all cause histamine release. It's often impossible to find out exactly why hives have formed. You have to find out the cause by yourself. Antihistamines medicines like Levocetrizine can be taken along with low doses of Methyl Prednisolone for 4 to 5 days, allergic test should also be done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My husband torn his frenulum about 3weeks ago...its a very tiny tear right under the head of his penis...he is uncircumcised...we have abstained from sex but it still hasnt healed...we tried to have sex last night and it started to bleed a little and hurt so we stopped...how long will this take to heal?
|
Greetings. Frenulum is the most sensitive part of Penis, and it has an arterial supply which is the one bleeding during intercourse. Any friction or even the erection can disturbed the normal healing and can bleed. But it depends up on the severity of the tear. So if there is bleeding even after 3 weeks I suggest you to consult a surgeon who will help you with either antimicrobial ointments or if a big tear will suture or use cautery to coagulate. That will speed up the healing. Hope my answer helps you. Regards

In the last few weeks my wife has developed what appears to be a fluid-filled cyst on her sturnum between her breasts. It is soft and seems to shift in shape and size, which is generally about four inches laterally, two or three vertically. She has had two heart surgeries for aortic aneurysms, one in 1990, replacing the aortic valve, and the second, to resect the aortic arch, in 2011. The cyst is located beneath the scars from those surgeries. What could it be and how should it be treated?

Usually treating a lump on the sternum by identifying and ad Chat Doctor. In some cases, lumps and bumps are considered normal. Based on your introduction it can be related to her surgical procedures on chest. Fulfilled cyst may form because of chemical imbalances or hormonal shifts. An chest X-ray should be done to evaluate this lump and other possible changes in ribs and lungs. If the X-ray will find a fluid-filled cyst, simple

im on 50mg clomid and had unprotected sex 3/4 days after my my period had ended, a week later ive been having backache and feeling very tied (weak) then a few days later i had slightly sore nipples a bit more veiny than usual also i ve been having a slight bit of whitey creamy discharge and feeling bloated.......could i be pregnant
|
Hi. You are trying for conception, and you have used camphene citrate for the ovulation induction... you had unprotected sexual intercourse for 3-4 days after period. But this is not the fertile period. You need to get follicular scan done to see the follicle size, Chat Doctor injection for assisting the follicular rupture after the follicle size has reached 18-20Β mm size. Usually on 12-14 days and timed intercourse should be done to enhance the success rate. If you have missed the period, get one urine pregnancy test done slight white discharge is normal. All the very best.

I was told by a hospital that I have a cyst on my brain. They said that I could have been born with it as a baby. I had an MRI back in 2009 and the results showed a cyst on my brain.I saw a specialists, but all she said was: please come back in 6 months and she would check on it. She said nothing else about it. I was horrified!! 6 months is too long of a wait.Could you please tell me, exactly what it means to have a cyst on my brain? and if this is dangerous?Thanks so much.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your MRI brain details and anxiety about the reports. Unfortunately, you have not posted the details of the MRI report. I request you to upload the complete MRI brain report, for us to understand it better. Also, what are your symptoms, for which MRI brain was done? There are some cysts in the brain, which are present since birth. These include arachnoid cyst and telencephalic cysts. These cysts contain water and may not cause any harm. If there are no significant symptoms because of your cysts, no action is needed. An MRI may be repeated after six months to see if there is any increase in the size of cyst. If the cyst increases in size, it can be removed by a surgery. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

Been having head pain and a lot of tingles in my head almost like it itches and now my eyelid is black and swollen .Do u think this is normal
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of trauma. So it leads to extravasation of blood. This blood accumulates in subcutaneous tissue and produce swelling and black eye. It is commonly seen in forehead trauma. You should take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. It will disappear within few days. 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.

Since the fever, I have felt stomach pain in my upper abdomen that i never felt before, the last three times i masterbated. I find that when I eat some food, the does pain eases abit. Any suggestions please?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history of easing of pain on eating some food. The most probable diagnosis in your case looks to be Gastritis or gastric ulcer caused by the painkillers. I would suggest you the following:Santa 12 hourly. Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach. Add Risperidone or such motility regulators. Soft bland diet. No aerated colas / soda/ Chat Doctor. Early dinner. No late nights. Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)Lying in a reclining positional around after dinner. Think of the factors which increased the present problem, HERD, anxiety and try to avoid. If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines.

I got stung by a bee yesterday on the side of my foot at about 2 pm it made sure the stinger was out but it was still very painful for a good 30 mins after hours later the pain is just gettin worse hurts to move or touch my foot and very awollen but its the top of my foot above the sting that hurts and swollen it doesn t hurt where I got stung also I m 32 weeks pregnant what should I do?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The sting can result in an allergic reaction due to the secretion of venom. Allergic reactions can be immediate or delayed, though immediate reactions are more common. The treatment varies slightly according to the severity of the reaction. In severe reactions (decreased blood pressure, increased pulse, hives, difficulty breathing) hospitalization is required for treatment. Where there is only swelling and rash, you can treat at home by the use of oral antihistamines such as Ben Chat Doctor. In addition, if the area is painful, you can use paracetamol. If the severity of the reaction worsens, then you would need to seek medical attention. If you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 5 yrs, you also need to take a booster dose. Thank you.

I have an aneurysmal bone cyst at T3 (according to MRI and CT Scan). My back pain, however, seems to be closer to T6-T7, occurs when I lay down, frequently wakes me up at night, and wraps around from my back to my front. Can the cyst at T3 be causing this pain?
|
tithe expansive nature of cyst may cause symptoms depending on compression produced. It can press on spinal cord or nerve roots and variable symptoms of pain and compressionTreatment options include simple curettage with bone grafting, complete excision, embolization, and radiation therapy. Reconstruction and stabilization of the spine may be needed if deformity and instability are present. Complete excision of aneurysm bone cysts offers the best chance of cure and spinal decompression if neurological deficits are present may consult a spine surgeon Best wishes

i just found a small lump on the mastoid bone behind my right ear. it seems to be connected to the bone and it doesnt move. i would say its about the size of an eraser on a regular pencil. it only hurts if i put pressure on it. im an 18 year old female. im concerned as to what it could be. what do you think?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. The lump of the size of the rubber eraser on the pencil, which does not move and tender only on deep palpation, and is situated on the mastoid bone is a lymph node unless proved otherwise. You can get an FNAC. See for the Dan Chat Doctor. These lymph nodes are very resistance to get regressed fully. If you are too much bothered you can certainly get this removed and send it for histopathology examination.

I was diagnoses with bilateral pulmonary embolisms 9 days ago. I am taking heparin injections once a day since, released from hospital 6 days ago and felt better and able to breath better every day until today when I experienced a sudden onset of lightheadedness, more shortness of breath and a burning sensation in my lungs. I am fatigued. My blood pressure is slightly elevated at 140/97 but my usual BP is 110/70. I paid a visit to emerg today and my bloodwork, EKG,urine all tested normal. Should I still be alarmed as my symptoms seem to be persisting?
|
Hello and thank you for asking in Chat Doctor. I am trying to understand your concern. According to your history you have just few days discharged from the hospital for pulmonary embolism. I think that it is a short period and maybe to wait some other days given the fact that the tests you have repeated are negative. But the most important fact is the reason of pulmonary embolism, it may from deep vein thrombosis OS others??? So I recommend you to be careful with sharp movements and if the symptoms persists you have to recons ult the pulmonologist. Wish you good health Thank you

Hello, I have studied your case. Your symptoms suggest possibility of Deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasonography/color Doppler leg will help to rule pathology leading to pain and swelling like deep vein thrombosis. I will advise you to do repeat MRI spine to see for any nerve compression. Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be ruled out; antibiotic can be started according to examination. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. 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.

My father had prostate and it is diagnosed that it is cancers and was operated 10 years ago the doctor told that he has removed the cancer but could not operate the prostate because of come complication .After the operation the doctor under gone Cystoscopy test every year for 5 years after the operation and found no sign of cancer reformation after 10 year he has urinary infection with temperature he took antibiotics and also ultrasound was conducted and found that a little enlargement in prostate is there doctor advised to take medicine as there is not significant enlargement of prostate .After taking medicine he was cured and urine test it is found the inflection is gone and now after 20 day he has again have urinary infection can u please give me the reason ?
|
Your father does have enlarged prostate which is causing mild to moderate urinary retention which means they when ever he passes urine some amount of urine stays in the bladder due to enlarged prostate and that stasis of urine in the bladder causes urinary tract infection as urine is excellent media for bacterial growth would advise you to get his PMRV done which post micturition residual volume on which he will get ultrasound scan with full bladder, and then he will be asked to empty his bladder and again scan would be done to see how much urine stays within the bladder if it is more than or around 100ml that's significant. I would advise you to get his urinary tract infection treated by antibiotic and after that start him on tamsulosin 0.4Β mg once a the before going to bed this will help him to empty his bladder completely avoiding any further infections.

They say all test has come back Normal. Her Surgeon Said She had Inflamed and Congested lungs, but her Pulmonary Dr won t treat her because her test come back in normal range.I have a Thought She live s in an Environment with 7 dog s, 6 horse s on a Dirt road and her Mother doesn t keep a very clean environment, not dirty but for dust and dog hair there is no stoping it. very Dusty and dog hair everywhere,and not adding the dust from the road s. Can this be part of her problem.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you are right about dust and animal hair. Allergy to dust and animal fur is very common. So your daughter may have asthma (allergic) due to constant and prolonged exposure of dust and animal fur, which caused decrease in breathing capacity in her. Another possibility is Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HSP). It is also seen in chronic exposure of animal fur. And it is also giving low breathing capacity. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. HRCT thorax2. PUT (pulmonary function test)HRCT is needed to rule out HSP.PFT is needed to rule out asthma.

Hi, I have suffered chronic Migraine for ovre 30 years but for the last 6 months I have had more migraines than ever, a persistent daily headache, and toothache , I have even had the tooth extracted but am still suffering severe pain. I have had all the scans going. I have vascular malformations in upper thorax , mri s have shown bony lesions in skull and spine with further treatments and investigations pending. I have even had a mouthguard made by the dentist but after a few days of wearing this at night it has blistered my gums which adds to the pain. Don t know where to turn to.
|
Hello, Thanks for posting this question in ChatDoctorLet me tell you the causes of headache are many and one has to find out the exact cause. Headache can be due to migraine, cluster headache, brain tumor, infection, vascular malformations and so on. I have noted all your problems need to be re-evaluated in a hospital/teaching medical university with Multidisciplinary facility where neurologist/headache specialist / dentist/ interventional radiologist will jointly evaluate you. Their clinical evaluation will determine if you need a brain MRI scan (I am not sure if you have done to rule out any vascular malformation in the brain too). Some people may harbor vascular malformations in multiple sites of the brain. If it turns out to be migraine (which is a diagnosis of exclusion), you will benefit with the following approach1. Acute attack: simple analgesics. Sumatriptan nasal spray. Avoid the precipitating factor. Avoid stress, coffee and lack of sleep. Do regular exercises and good sleep hygiene2. During the chronic phase: You may take one of these medicines: Amitriptyline, propranolol, topiramate, valproate etc. The changes which are seen in the skull and spike are due to the presence of long standing vascular malformation. Hope this helps

Hello, my name is Tim My 23.8 yr old son has DMD and is showing signs of tricuspid and bicuspid regurg. He has VERY little muscle left in his body. If the dystrophy is attacking his heart at this point will it become more aggressive against organs or will it continue as slowly as when he had muscle tissue?
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I am sorry to hear your unpleasant and desperate situation. Duchess muscular dystrophy affects almost all body muscles, including heart and respiratory muscles, giving rise to heart and respiratory failure. It is a progressive disease, leading to muscle replacement with adipose tissue. It is the cardiac (heart failure and arrhythmia), and respiratory complications that determine their life expectancy. Lab tests may be performed to clarify the rate of disease progression. You need to talk with his attending physician about the available tests, in the attending medical center. Its median life expectancy is improved from around 25 to possibly 30 years. Rare cases may survive to their forties or fifties (with specialized medical support). Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings!

What is it when a heart stings after having palpitations? Am I trying to have a heart attack? I m overweight 5 3 about 166lbs. Bi-polar Disorder, acid reflux are all my problems. But the palpitations were different and certainly the stinging sensation.
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms are not typical of coronary artery disease or a heart attack.Gastroesophageal reflux or avmusculo- skeletal pain could be the cause of your symptoms. Anxiety can also trigger palpitations. Anyway, if the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:- a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study-Complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for imbalance. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Chat Doctor.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign lesion or cancer. You should wait for your biopsy results. If you send me pictures of your histopathology images then I can tell you whether it is cancer or not. From picture of lesion we can't say that. They are taking deeper section. It is to search invasion in to deeper structure or one cancer loci. Don't worry much about that. Just be relaxed. Wait for your biopsy results. 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 took nordette as ecp after 4 hours of the deed then took another dose after 12 hours. I didn t experience any of nordette side effects nor had withdrawal bleeding. No sign of having menstruation. Tomorrow i m suppose to have my period. I am stressed right now. What is the percentage of me getting pregnant?
|
Hello ma'am and welcome. The chances of getting pregnant after taking the pill at particular durations is as follows:-Within 24 hours of unprotected sexual contact- 98% protection from conception-24-48 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse- 85%-48-72 hours- 58%So you are almost completely protected, and chances of pregnancy are slim to nothing. So I feel your periods should come on time, and even if they don't it would be either due to stress or the pill itself. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I have a history of kidney stones. I have had pressure and pain for 2 weeks that is the same as the previous kidney stones. The pain is now in the urethra like a sharp stabbing pain. CT and KUB showed no stone. also the urinalysis showed no wbcs but did show blood

Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! You may have recently passed out a stone and your still feeling the effects of the traumatic passage of the stone. Another possibility is the stone is lodged in your urethra which is not always seen on the abdominal ct sonogram. Try palpating your urethra if you can palpate a hard stone in the area. Chat Doctor. There also instances although rare that a stone is not seen on Ct scan, although ct scan has an accuracy of 90-95% in detecting stones. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/

I RECENTLY HAD A TOOTH PULLED ON THE LEFT LOWER SIDE OF MY MOUTH. TODAY WHEN I WAS WASHING MY FACE IT WAS VERY SENSATIVE TO TOUCH IN THAT AREA AND THEN I NOTICED A SENSATIVE LUMP. I ALSO HAVE A HARD TIME OPENING MY MOUTH ALL THE WAY. WHAT COULD THIS BE? BEFORE THE TOOTH WAS PULLED, I HAD A VERY BAD INFECTION.

don't get panic it may b hematoma due to injury to blood vessels while giving anesthesia it will go by itself in 24-48 hrs. And for your mouth opening problem do hot water fomentation and try to open your mouth slowly if not possible take help of your hands and pull your mouth slowly to open it practice this 3-4 times a day surely u get relief very soon.in addition you can take tab.Arthur Mr twice for 5 days

hi, I am male with age 38, today I got a blood checkup done and my Cholestrol is 213, HDL is 32, LDL is 135 and TGL is 217, AST is 43, ALT is 55 and Gamma GT is 157, my sugar, creatinine tests are in the normal range. will this be due to my drinking habit, I consume about 6 pegs of alchohol regularly . Please advice what needs to be taken care immediately in addition to reducing the drinking.
|
Hi dairy GGT is very high. It must be due to long alcohol intake for a long time. In the long run, it can lead to loss of appetite, jaundice, fatty liver or even liver failure. Reduce your alcohol consumption to zero in next 2 days. For medicinal help or to leave alcohol at home I can help you. You don't need to go to a de addiction center if you are with a specialist in proper care at home. Best of Luck!!!!!!!! Feel free to contact me at Chat Doctor. Com or call me anytime.

|
Dear FriendWelcome to Chat Doctor I read your concern and would suggest that taking pills without knowing cause for irregular periods is not advisable. Therefore, I would say you to get checked for health problems like thyroid disorder (Hypothyroid can cause irregular periods) Low hemoglobin, PCs .Therefore, consult a gynecologist and speak to her about your problems. My advice is to stop pills as weight gain is risk factor for further Irregular periods not be stressed., Keep mind relaxed by relaxation techniques. You can ask me further if you have any doubtsRegards Chat Doctor. Kingston John David

Hello doctor,I have hypothyroidism. With that, I am facing hair fall, skin infections, overweight, high cholesterol, and memory loss. Are all these happening because of thyroid or there are other factors involved? I am a firm believer in Ayurveda but can this be treated with Ayurveda permanently? I do not want to pop hormone pills for the rest of my life. More details about the presenting complaint. I used to be a heavy smoker and drinker. I have started following a good diet from the last 2 to 3 months but the effects are negligible so far. Previous history of the same issue. Never got myself tested but I have been facing these symptoms from the last 4 to 5 years. The current medications: None at present. Past medications of the same issue include Medohar Vati, Brahmi, and Panch nimbadi vati.
|
Hi. Hypothyroidism may cause these symptoms as you have described. But it is other possibilities too. Hair fall may be due to infection, excessive use of different kinds of shampoo and conditioner, changes in food habits and water, stress, etc. Stress and anxiety may lead to loss of memory. A sedentary lifestyle may cause obesity. But according to your complaints, it seems like hypothyroidism is one of the major cause. It can be managed naturally through ayurvedic medicines and Yoga techniques. ChatDoctor. Thyroid profile, lipid profile, blood sugar, blood pressure. Obesity, diabetes. You are taking good medicines, and there is a need to add some other medicines too. Avoid spicy and fried junk foods. Quit smoking and

Hello, I am so frustrated with a staff infection I have in my leg. Since 2009 I visited the ER and now have an antibiotic resistant type of staff. I have tried several different natural remedies and still can t seem to kill off the infection. The first time I went to the regular doctor and had to return for a total of 3 visits and over 100 antibiotic pills before it cleared up. The second time I got the same infection, I went back to the same Dr. and they gave the same antibiotic that took over 100 pills to clear my infection the first time. I figured I would try to kill it off with natural remedies so it doesn t continue to return. So far nothing I have tried has been able to get rid of it and I have been suffering with this infection for over 6 months now. Have you been able to recommend other remedies besides the antibiotics that are not really working anymore?

Dear Friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your query in detail. Furthermore, I understand your concern.First you should know from where are you getting this staph infection. Also, get your blood sugars checked. Get Culture and sensitivity of that area to know which antibiotics would help you. This is my best opinion for you based on available details.

Last Saturday, I had a strange thing happen to me. I stopped breathing, lost control of my bodily fluids ( I peed my pants ), and I hit my head on the floor hard enough that it ached for at least four days after. My question is -- did I die ? I was lucky in that I had an aquaitance ( someone I knew ) over who elevated me and I guess I started back up. I take 2 of three medicines prescribed for blood pressure but that is all. They are amlodipine and lisinopril.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion this episode may be due to TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) or absence seizures. In both these conditions patient becomes unconscious for a moment. Patient looses all control and fall. So we need to rule out these in your case. Consult neurologist and discuss your episode. You may need EEG (Electron Encephalo Gram) and MRI Brain for diagnosis. Better to avoid stress and tension.

Hello Doctor, I am 28 year old male, I have shoulder pain exactly similar to frozen shoulder, but it is not continues for me from 5 years, it is like episodic appears once in 3 to 4 months, exits for about 15 days and disappears. When i get pain ill take NSAID and pour a bucket of hot water 2 times [morning and evening] and do some stretches.From past 3 months i am going for gym, will affect the shoulder pain.Please give me an permanent solution for this. I like to go gym daily but stopped from 10 days because of pain.
|
The effect of gumming on your shoulder joint depends on the type of exercise you does per your history, you need to warm up your shoulder before begging the exercise then depending on the strength of your joint you can begin with exercise but remember any exercise that causes pain needs to be avoided. You can add range of motion exercises which especially involve flexion, abduction and internal rotation of your shoulder joint also as a precautionary measure I would suggest you to check your blood glucose levels as it has been found that frozen shoulder is common among diabetic population. Hope you find this helpful

HI. I have numbness and tingling in both hands. the 5th finger on both hands is fine. I suspect carpal tunnel but, I was wondering if a shoulder problem could possibly be the cause. I get alot of popping and cracking from them just moving my arms. and also the symptoms get better or almost go away completely after stretching my arms and wrists. Thank you for your help!

Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your arm and fingers pain associated with it. 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.

|
Hi Kavita, To control asthma, one has to take steroids. Steroids do have side effects and that's why inhaled form of steroids are prescribed which have very minimal side effects as a very small quantity is absorbed in the body. Therefore, you must ensure that child takes these inhalers regularly and oral steroids can be avoided as these are given when symptoms worsen and have much more side effects. Instill health habits in child by following a routine and healthy eating habits and avoiding junk food as much as you can. If still you are concerned about his growth, kindly consult his pediatrician.

My 8 year old daughter has been coughing severely for 7 weeks or so. When she was little she was diagnosed with asthma so we chalked it up to that. She is on inhalers and 4 days ago we took her to the doctor and she was given decongestants. These have not worked and on occasion she is coughing up white thick mucus . Her breathing is getting more and more restrictive. No fever or sweating present. I am getting concerned as this is not showing even the most remote signs of improving. We are thinking of taking her to the children s hospital for an X-ray .
|
Hi Welcome to healthcare Magic! At times the asthma gets exacerbated due to seasonal change or exposure to the factors that cause the bronchospasm. Different asthmatic persons have different triggers for precipitating an attack. Please keep the child away from dust smoke and open environment where pollen are in plenty. An intercurrent viral infection can also lead to increase in the problem. The idea of taken her to hospital is a timely and wise decision, she will get relief with nebulizations of bronchodilators and if required antibiotics can be instituted. Wish you a great health!

My son, student, 15 years old, has been hospitalises 8 times in the past two years with what I can only describe as a severe sudden onset of labour pains. Last night they dosed him up with 37mg of morphine and it did nothing, he was still screaming in agony for hours. In past 12 months Gallstones rules out, appendix taken out, they have performed cat scans, ultrasounds and every blood test under the sun. Today they administered dye and he had a gastointestial xray which also showed up nothing. During the surgery to remove his appendix they noticed he has a large piece of redundant bowel but now the doctor thinks this is not an issue. Tomorrow he will be finally seen by a gastrointerologist. Can you give me any clues as to what I could ask the specialist to look for, or what further specialist tests could be performed? The only common denominator surrounding each episode is stress, I have no doubt that stress trigers it, but it is clearly a phsiological issues. Do you have any clues or suggestions ?

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern. Hair seen like that is not common in child Chat Doctor. If it's coming from inside that could mean he has swallowed some hair which is tying to get expelled undigested and getting entangled inside. If I were your pediatrician, I would refer you to a pediatric surgeon who can examine his rectum and try to take it out safely. Don't worry, the problem can be completely cleared. Take care.

Hi. The last two mornings I wake up and feel dizzy. When I stand to walk I drift to the right. It is not vertigo, it is lightheadedness. It takes a few hours to go away. When I turn my head right to left I can feel it linger. Have not checked orthostatic b/p yet, however, it seems to last too long after remaining upright to be a b/p problem. Started a Z pack yesterday at 3:00 p.m. No real sinus infection symptoms. I do have COPD. Any ideas?
|
Hello, Actually, if you were truly orthostatic your condition would likely get WORSE as you continued to stand and walk not better. However, it is possible that you are NOT orthostatic but have another problem which could be what is referred to as VERTEBROBASILAR INSUFFICIENCY which is a transient loss of blood to a portion of the brain stem and cerebellum that involves the function of balance and gait steadiness which explains the veering and feelings of dizziness. Z-packs are felt to be overused these days for simple infections and are recommended not to be prescribed for simple infections. If you've no real sign of infection then, even less reason to use the antibiotic. I would definitely recommend getting your blood pressures checked for orthostatic Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor . Pain in ovary or uterine region is not due to conception. These are mainly due to side effects of progesterone which will be given after GUI.

Hello Jody, Your symptoms indicate Sciatica where the person experiences tingling, & shooting pain radiating from back of thigh to back of leg, burning sensation & lower back pain (lumbago). The symptoms get aggravated during walking & bending forward. CT & MRI scan will help to confirm the diagnosis. Jody, though possible, the pain you are experiencing now may not be directly due to the injury you experienced 3 years back. Most common cause of sciatica is slipped disc. Bed rest may help but will not cure the condition. Therapeutic benefit of Chat Doctor. Stretching exercises to relax the muscle spasms are very effective.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. In most cases these spots are benign growths such as cysts or hematomas. Hematoma is very small and this can't cause such symptoms unless larger than 10Β cm. He should do MRI SCN or liver biopsy to find what type of lesion it is. Less common this may be malignant issues such as hepatocellular carcinoma. His abdominal pain may not be related to liver spots at all. It may always be sign of some other issues such as IBD or gastritis. If these are just simple liver cysts then I don't think this is causing his symptoms. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.

I am suffering from bone TB with infection and inflammation in my left sacral bone. The diagnosis was done after open biopsy. Therapy: Taking antibiotics from last two months. Started with Rifampicin, Isonizid, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. As the organism was found as fully sensitive/susceptible, Ethambutol was stopped after two weeks and the therapy continued with three medicines mentioned above. As, I have completed two months, now the plan is continue with Rifampicin and Isoniazid and stop Pyrazinamide. Observation: I felt a lot of improvement in the first two weeks of treatment but the condition detoriated rapidly after discontinuation of Ehambutol. Pain retuned back and much higher this time. However, new MRI and CT scan showed that the infection was not spreading. So, I was advised that the TB therapy is correct and I should continue with the three antibiotics. Now after completing two months of therapy, I am still in pain and way behind the improvment I was noticing after first two weeks of treatment. Bone abscess: Abscess is formed at the infection site, which is supposed to be treated by the immune system of my body and no external interference is done. Nerve involvement: I have severe pain and weakness in my left leg due to the pressure on the nerve roots caused by the inflammation at the infection site (left saclral bone). I took a lot of pain killers and was on a steroid (prednisone) course also for 20 days but pain and weakness returned back once I stopped taking the steroid. Can you please tell me whether the TB therapy is correct and how long will it take to get relief from pain? Also, how long the bone inflammation will last so that my nerve can get a relief and my left leg will feel better? Thanks a zillion in advance.

Hello. I appreciate the way you have explained your symptoms in detail, it is very helpful for a physician. The regimen for TB of the bone (whicChatDoctores under extrapulmonary TB) is 2 months of Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. This is called the Intensive phase. This is later followed by the maintained phase of 4 months of Isoniazid and Rifampicin only. Total duration of therapy is 6 months. This is the regimen recommended by WHO in DOTS and is also followed in India where TB is very prevalent. We have observed very good results with this regimen in patients with bone TB. Though Ethambutol has side effects affecting the vision, we donor generally stop it only after 2 weeks. Even though it does not kill the TB bacteria but only stops it from multiplying, it is considered an important Chat Doctor. Since it was stopped for you, I presume that it was according to the guidelines which are followed in your country. Generally, it would not be significant, but in the light of reappearance of your symptoms, I would consider it significant. Abscess which is formed due to TB bacteria is called a cold abscess as it does not have any active inflammation. It will gradually disappear with the same treatment. Surgical intervention like

Many a times tricuspid regurgitation is a normal phenomenon is normal ppl, now if you have the same symptoms every day, you can get a 24 holder , or if a clinic is nearby than an EKG at the time of symptoms. This will see if any missed beats or other changes in rhythm occurs while you have the symptoms. If normal forget about it, if anything is noticed, than a simple treatment an according to the results of the holder reports will suffice

My sister was just diagnosed with CML and just received her bone marrow biopsy today. Worse than we had hoped as they said out of the 20 samples of bone marrow, all 100% were infected. She has had MANY kidney stones over her life and believes she has a bad one now. My question is? Could this be an enlarged spleen, feeling the same as a kidney stone? and should she go immediately to the ER? She was going to try to make it thru the night.
|
Hai, enlarged spleen is because of the CML (Chronic myeloid leukemia). Stone in kidney will have sharp pain in the back sometimes nausea will be associated. Ultrasound will reveal the clear picture behind your confusion. As CML should be treated with your hematologist As soon as possible. If your sister get any abnormal pain or any alarming signs kindly take her to Emergency department for further management. Thank you hope I answered your query

my cousin has stage 4 small cell lung cancer in both lungs and it has spread to the brain they have told us cemo n raditation did not help there is nothing more they can do he has breathing problems coughing but most of all mood swings he was always a fairly kind person but no is always angry cussing and just is driving everyone even drs nurses and anyone he comes in contact with nuts we all tip toe around him n help with everyting but it is becoming very hard is this normal
|
Stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to brain has a very poor prognosis. Palliative RT to brain may relieve some symptoms. If his type of cancer is adenocarcinoma then a particular test called EFR mutation test from biopsy block may be of help. If EFR mutation is positive then oral chemotherapy Erlotinib, Gefitinib can be given even in poor general condition of the patient. The main side effects of Erlotinib and gefitinib is skin rash and diarrhea which can be managed with lactocalamine lotion and operative. The development of skin rash is good prognosis. For mood swings u can give haloperidol Chat Doctor.

Hello, Sunny. Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Anger, develops high blood pressure, high B P develops many, many diseases, including rupture of an artery (arterioles) and paralysis. Violence and anger are responsible for every thing. In my opinion this is not a disease. This is the nature of an individual. Today divorce from this wife, tomorrow from next wife, next time from next and so on, this is not an end. In my opinion consult a psychiatrist and get his counselling and treatment. Good luck.

Hi, I have a severe pain in my left knee which started after doing lacrosse goalie workouts. I believe it s because I spent an hour exploding onto either leg, depending on where the shot was, but my right knee feels fine. It does affect the way I walk and almost feels like there is something inside my knee. What could this be and what should I do besides ice it?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned in history about the workout you did, a thorough assessment in the torque of the muscle needs to be known. Also, the hip muscle Strengthening is of due importance to control the knee in position. Getting a clinical Musculoskeletal assessment by a sport or tho will be of help. Usually, pains and aches are sometimes relates to DOES and subsided in a day or two. But if you feel there is some grinding of the knee than an MRI will be suggested based on the clinical assessment post which the rehabilitation plan will be prepared. In sports injuries the role of the sports physical therapist is of due importance to understand the mechanism of the injury and the mechanism of the role a joint is going to undergo during the workout as well as the game. In my clinical practice, with thorough musculoskeletal assessment patients are guided with a different sort of exercises as to cover up the highly torqued muscle and provide the stability between them to get the maximum score. Regardsjay In Chat Doctor.

More of a dental question. Had a great deal of dental work which left me with a part of my gums that is very sore inflamed feeling but the dentist stets there is nothing wrong. This has been an issue since last March. I have had numerous exams and even a CT scan. Any ideas
|
Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. Great amount of dental treatment does not make your gums weak, rather it will improve the gum health. You already checked with your dentist and cleared there is nothing wrong. I recommend you to check with your general physician regarding this. You did not mention if you are under any medication for general health. Maintain a non-alcohol, tobacco free lifestyle. Have a proper oral hygiene. Regards.

My partner has end stage liver disease (alcoholic cirrhosis). Hepatic encephalopathy seems advanced. He is home, but because of his confusion and disorientation, he cant be left alone. He has been in and out of the hospital/ICU several times. His doctor told him he was dying, and when the doctor and I were alone he said it could be days, weeks, or months, but not likely a year. I feel lost and not sure what to expect. Financial and health POA are all set. How long does he have? Is it really so vague as days, weeks, months? How will I know when the end is imminent and I need to have someone here with me?
|
Hello, Sorry to hear about your partner. Advanced cirrhosis has a 20 survival at 5 years. But if he has required recurrent admissions for cirrhosis then the median survival is six months. This means that 50 percent do not live beyond six months. Sever Chest infections, fall in blood pressure sever GI bleed, and rising creatinine are signs of deterioration that might point to imminent end of life. Hope this answers your queryRegards Chat Doctor.

Ive been having what I think is gallbladder issues the last two weeks. Pain In upper right abdominal area right under ribs. Nausea vomiting fatigue....fullness after just a few bites, worse at night. Im having an egd and hidascan done tomorrow. Ive noticed my urien looks a little oily. Its all clear for the most part...a normal light yellow almost nonexistent color. But it looks oily. Could this be gallbladder related too? Im 31 white female. Just incase that matters.
|
Hi, thanks for writing in. You need to undergo a few tests which are an ultrasound examination of the abdomen, Liver function test and a complete blood count. If the ultrasound confirms the presence of stones then you need to undergo cholecystectomy. If there aren't any stones then assessment of liver function tests and complete blood count will help in determining whether there is liver dysfunction or infection. Regards

I had severe pain in my stomache for twenty four hours, it was in my right side in the pit of my stomache and in my back, my gall bladder is out, I went for a cats scan and it showed a cysts on my liver,. I also have yellow bloddy stools at times, I have been having this pain for a couple of years, I have to go for a mri next week to get a better look at the cyst on the liver. my blood word shows elevated numbers for the pancreas, I am fatiqed and eating a light diet for the last four days, should I be concered, thank you Nancy
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.No, at this point. Liver surgery is my field of interest and this looks to me like benign cystic disorder of liver with possible effect on pancreas. But additional tests are required in first case to rule out malignancy and biliary stones in common bile duct or in pancreatic duct. If there are no such pathologies then you may considered laparoscopic management of liver cysts if these are proved to because of your symptoms. Usually cysts that are larger than 10Β cm may require surgical treatment. Your fatigue and stool color may be related to liver but also may indicate certain colon issues, so colonoscopy may be considered. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Facial hair and body hair are totally heredity dependent. The scarcity of body and facial hair is due to insufficiency of male hormones which is a heredity factor. There is no effective treatment available to overcome this problem. But I can assure you, you will find at least 50% of male across the world with the same problem, and therefore it is quite common. You are 18. You should not worry about these cosmetic appearance factors too much and be anxious and ruin your mental and physical health. Wait and watch. You will also have facial and body hair. Just it may take some time. Please concentrate on your career and education. These types of worries lead to lack of self-worth and self-confidence and anxiety. Please remember. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail. Hope this answers your query. Please feel free to post follow-up queries. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. Take care.

Hello Doctor, I had fever, cough and body pain from last friday till Sunday, Upon medication fever has gone and body pain reduced. However cough has not reduced. I sweat a lot especially at night. I feel very tired and drowsy for the past 2 days. Is this normal for viral fever or could this be a symptom of any other viral fever like Dengue, H1N1 or TB?
|
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctori have gone through your query. Cough is not a usual symptom for dengue. But body pain and tiredness are characteristic findings. Doing a blood routine and platelet count will be helpful. Platelet count will be usually low in case of dengue. If it is low then you can go for dengue and lento immunoglobulin test to rule out Dengue or leptospirosis. H1N1 will have predominant respiratory symptoms. If you have such symptoms then you can go for throat swab to rule out H1N1. Only if cough lasting more than 2 weeks TB test will be required. Take plenty of fluids. Take chewable vitamin C also. A consultation with physician is also well appreciated. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

It seems my baby is having some stomach cramps. He had this yesterday and we have given 6 drops of decolic infant yesterday night. Today the whole day he was fine, but it seems he is having the same problem even today also since 2 hours back. Will it be safe to give decolic infant today also?? As it would be for back to back days. He is 26 days old
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if she is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. The two best ways to relieve this distress is - 1. Do not put him in lying position after feeding till he burps out the swallowed air.2. If he is still crying - put her in prone position and keep patting his back gently so that he passes off the flatus and gets relieved. 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 was diagnosed with salmonella typhi 4 months ago after returning from a trip to Malaysia. I have since been cleared, but am experiencing occasional abdominal pain similar to gastro. Fever on first night then pain following for now two days on and off. Last time I went to hospital.but they sent me home saying it was a bug. I am concerned this could be a long term affect of the disease. I can t find any long term affects on the Internet.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read your history and understood your problem. Yes, you can not rally find too much material l related to Salmonella type and its sequel and complications. This is called Typhoid or Enteric fever with its typical natural history, and can reoccur again and again if not treated properly. This is also a type of bug. Get the blood, urine and stool tests done again, as also ultrasonography of the abdomen. Typhoid can cause many complications such as:Peritonitis and adhesion these can cause persistent pain in abdomen again and again. Get a 3-week course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics, and symptomatic and supportive treatment. I hope you will be fine if you take proper course.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor I can understand your concern. See, lung cancer is progressive disease. It is not 100%curable. Surgery is mostly done for symptomatic relief and slow progression of disease. So his worsening of cancer is not due to chemotherapeutic Chat Doctor. At present, with stage 4 lung cancer, only palliative treatment is available. So better to consult YYYYYYYYYY, YYYYYYY. It is the best hospital for cancer in world. Regarding, side effects of gefitinib, it can cause gastritis, nausea, vomiting, bone marrow suppression, skin ulcers, oral ulcers, loss of scalp hair etc. Hope I have solved your query.

Hello doctor. I got the paragard IUD inserted a couple of weeks ago and for about a week I was getting severe cramps but the cramps stopped for a couple of days. Then all of a sudden I started to get random spasms of awful pain in my tailbone that lasted about a week and a half. The pain is not as awful now but I still have some pain every now and then. Is this something I should worry about? I m wondering if this has nothing to do with the IUD and if I should get it checked out. Thank you
|
Hello, Your symptoms do not seem to be related to the IUD. Anyway, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound in order to check it. I would also recommend performing a sacral X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing all the best.

Hello I wondered if you could help me understand why every time I cough, I seem to feel a swelling sensation in the area of the rectum. Also when I am sitting down there also is hard to describe swell feeling inwards and outwards. There is some stinging discomfort too after realising my stools. Similarly when the urine passes after released stool I get a very uncomfortable stinging within the penis area as well.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, in my opinion you should consult general surgeon to rule out early rectal prolapse. Coughing causes rise in intro abdominal pressure. This rise in pressure cause pressure on abdominal organs like intestine, rectum etc. Rectum is supported by muscular layers. So if these layers are weakened due any cause, rectum lose its support. So on pressure it can get prolapsed and gives you sensation of uncomfortable feeling. So rule out rectal prolapse in your case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I was recently diagnosed with Cervical Spinal Stenosis with Mylopathy. I have a moderate broad-based disc bulge with herniation at C4-C5 and a moderate broad-based disc bulge at C5-C6 with no herniation. I went to see a neurosurgeon. He wants to fuse three vertebrae together. I was hoping for something less dramatic. Can you help me? Thanks. Richardmale aged 55
|
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Generally, conservative management for cervical stenosis with myelopathy is only effective in acute presentation and not in chronic cases. Nonoperative treatment for cervical stenosis includes immobilization, traction, physical therapy (exercises, strength training, massage, mobilization) and physical modalities (ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat), medications (analgesics, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, corticosteroids). If symptomatic improvement is not achieved with an aggressive nonoperative treatment program within 6 to 8 weeks, surgical treatment may be needed. Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hey I m 20 years of age,I feel like my brain is moving and I always feel dizzy and very weak. I feel like my Hand and feet palms are burning. I m feel nervous and i feel like getting away from everyone. Also sometimes i can t move/feel my legs and arms.
|
I can assure you that even though it is true that your brain does literally float inside the skull it is not moving the way you think nor can you feel it moving. There isn't (well, there shouldn't be) a lot of room up there under normal circumstances for such movement so that's one point. Although I am firmly grounded in the belief that a good neurological examination should always be done on someone with your symptoms I can also say with some degree of confidence that speaking to your physician about these issues may help them direct you to other specialists as well who may be able to help. I detect anxiousness and nervousness as well as an element of isolation that may have a lot to do with at least some of your symptoms. Bottom line, get a good neurological workup and see what the neurologist thinks of your case and then, be sure to talk things through with your primary doctor to see if other consultations may not help get some answers as well. All the best health to you.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi there I have a tooth that has cracked and a piece has come away on aback upper tooth I hav a dentist appointment tommorrow however notice when I sucked it started bleeding?
|
Hello, I suspect that due to the crack, your tissue has been cut or inflamed tissue surrounds the tooth. This tissue may be unhealthy enough that it bleeds easily. If you have an infected tooth, there may be a fistula which is Chat Doctor. You may rinse with warm salt water and take anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Advil until you have your appointment tomorrow. Your dentist will evaluate your broken tooth and discuss treatment possibilities. A filling may be an option if the tooth is not infected or severely broken. Make sure to avoid chewing on the broken tooth. Thank you for your inquiry.

|
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! Yes your motility and sperm quality would very much increase after cessation of smoking. This would take a while around 3-6 months before you see improvement since the life cycle of one sperm is 70-90 days. Antioxidants will also help like vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc supplements. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

|
Hello, Emergency pill, when taken within 6-12 hours of an unprotected intercourse, provides 99% protection. This falls to 85 percent as time advances. The chances of conception are very minimal in your case. Emergency pills cause hormone disturbances as they contain high hormone content. This can result in with Chat Doctor. Since she had another pill in the previous month, it is natural for frequent menstruation to occur. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care.

My son has hydronephrosis of his right kidney and has had two surgeries when he was 1 year old. He is now 8 and had a renal scan and the results state that he ha significant pelvicalyceal retention on the right which clears following lasix administration. Should we be concerned with the findings?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your son might have had congenital HY Chat Doctor. The present renal scan at 8 years shows that the kidney is bulging out due to urine in the collecting system, but this becomes normal when there is increased force in the kidney after giving lasix which is a diuretic. Las ix administration is a method to study real and apparent swelling of the renal collecting system. Since the swelling in pelvicalyceal system disappears after taking lasix, it is conclusive that he does not have any real obstruction in the kidney collecting system and the swelling that is apparent on the scan is temporary in nature. It will be good to do blood tests for kidney functions regularly as advised by his doctors to make sure the kidneys are working fine and serum creatinine and blood urea values are in the normal range.

Hello Jose , this is not actually your time to think about infertility, you are just count as newly married couple, don't get impatient about this matter now at present your periods are normal and one thing which I must tell you that your husband sperm count is also absolutely normal, the reason behind may be your timing of intercourse is not right, my advice to you is first you should calculate that you menstrual cycle is of how many days?than for example if it is of 28 days then you should do intercourse starting from 12th day to 16th day after your periods at least once in 24 hrs, then only you should aspect for positive result, best of luck take care.

Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor ... You have abdominal pain while sneezing ... Yes it could be by gall stone ... Here second possibility could be muscular strain also.... Avoid strenuous activity for it... Heavy weight lifting avoided. Take proper sleep posture while sleeping...If you need for pain simple analgesic can be taken... If your gall stone small and single then AdΓlio tablet that is made up of ursodeoxycholic acid can be taken that help in dissolving cholesterol in bile...Meanwhile, take low fat diet...fruits more...

|
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Your current problem is going on for around two years. In that case you must have consulted a physician for further investigation. If not, I suggest you to consult a physician. Anxiety and obsession along with acidity symptoms are the prime cause of consistent chest, stomach, lower rib area pains. Due to acidity pressure, when the diaphragm is pushed up, the chest cavity constricts and results in choking and constrictive feelings.

Hi, You said you suffer from psoriasis. It is on scalp and there is involvement of joints also...i.e. psoriasis arthritis. I think methotrexate in low dose.15 mg weekly in three decided doses of 5 mg. would be of great help for psoriasis arthritis. Lotion of steroid with salicylic acid may be applied on the scalp daily at night. And cleanse the scalp with tar containing shampoo. Have patience. You may be benefitted after few months. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.

hi my name is anonymous, i am 21 years old, am 85 kilograms and 1.75m tall, i am on no medication, i am a vegeterian-for 3 months now, i have no chronic ailments and am fit and in good shape although i smoke cigarettes, i have recently been on a health binge to purge my system of toxins,(no drinking or narcotics). Yesterday i was out with friends celebrating my friends birthday, i drank whiskey-3/4 of a bottle, tequila-1 shot, 2 beers, i then proceeded with my friends to get pizza at a corner store, i ordered a pizza then went outside and asked a friend for a drag of his cigarette( it turned out later that it was a substance called mr nice guy), i took a puff then went back inside, i began speaking to a friend, then everything began to slow down in my mind, my speech slowed to point of me not being able to speak, i turned to the pizza man and then blackness, with a feeling of euphoria and utter terror mixed into one, which felt like 3 seconds, i then woke up on a chair surrounded by my friends telling me that it is going to be ok, apparently what had happened is that the pizza man saw all colour disappear from my face, i stopped speaking and stared at a fixed point, i was completely unresponsive, my heart was moving at an abnormal pace, i then fainted, but my eyes remained open the whole time, my friends then put me on a chair and i was unresponsive for 20 minutes in real time, but in my mind only 3 seconds had passed, i then regained consciousness and began to speak slowly, i felt completely sapped of energy as if i had been drained, i could not speak and was unable to focus on anything. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, i managed to walk home and pass out but, today i have an incredible headache. My question is this, how did i faint with my eyes open? why did there seem to be so short a time in my head and yet i lose 20 minutes of my life? and finally, what damage have i done to my mind? please help me
|
Hi, You had a sudden transient loss of consciousness also known as Syncope. Patients like you who are considered healthy, young, with no previous medical conditions, and with the first single episode of syncope usually don't need to worry or any further investigations. However, to be on the safe side it is better if you could visit your family doctor to get a physical exam and an ECG to rule out heart conditions. Also, he or she might ask for blood test for anemia since you changed your diet lately to vegetarian diet you might be at risk of B12 deficiency and or iron anemia. Moreover, it is advisable to avoid alcohol, smoking, or any substance abuse as this might provoke syncope attacks. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I woke up 4 days ago with a stiff neck. it has now progressed to both sides and across the cervical to both shoulders. I also have a little numbness and tingling in my right hand fingers. the pain is dull and achy at rest and severe with certain movement.

Hi, as you mentioned your symptoms for me, it appears more of a pinched nerve. You can possibly undergo the MRI of the cervical spine which can help assist in ad Chat Doctor. Also a physical therapist can help by Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for the pain relief. Later on doing exercise to strengthen the muscle to ease the compression from the nerve will work better. Exercises includes - static neck exercises, trapezius muscle Strengthening, upper limb and upper back strengthening. This exercises can be well understood and performed with special attention. Usually, people with this kind of symptoms recover with exercise at almost 99% success ratio. As it will be a slow and steady process for performing exercises it will still help to strengthen the muscle and decrease the symptoms with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recoveryRegardsJay In

I had a ganglion cyst removed from the top of my foot about a year ago, along with having part of the bone shaved off. For the last two weeks I have had pain in my foot at the surgery spot, radiating to my ankle and down to the bone below my big toe where I had bunion surgery 3 years ago.

I had bronchitis months ago and still had breathing problems, and a cough that would come more at night time. The Dr. I went to twice said it was pleurisy and prescribed me an inhaler, which has worked some, but I am still coughing some at night and feel like there is something I have to cough up but there is not. There is also the stabbing pain on my left side of my chest. Is the inhaler and nebulizer going to clear this up?
|
Hello dear, The inhaler and nebulizer will provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)and reduces the inflammation. But as long as the underlying cause is not treated, the symptoms will recur. Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray chest will be helpful. If any infection is detected, then you need to take a course of antibiotics. Take care.

Hi, About two weeks ago i made the stupid mistake of punching a wooden door out of anger. Within afew minutes my hand around my little finger swelled up. I wanted to avoid seeing a doctor until the swelling went down. I iced it and took ibuprofen for about 2 days which helped a lot. The swelling went down considerably within 2 days but my hand is pretty bruised. I can move my little finger with no pain and still use my hand pretty much as normal. I went to the doctors and did the range of motion tests and apparently its not broken and she didn t seem too concerned for it. There is a lump above the knuckle of my pinky and i cant tell if its bone or maybe just swelling to the joint (it doesn t hurt much when pressure is applied to it either). I m hoping it s nothing serious or long lasting. Any ideas?
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you.a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with x-ray. As any injury needs and x-ray to possibly rule out the fracture on a safer side. Also, since the lump is persisting you should take and x-ray. If fracture is not present than it's good news. Just with simple physical therapy like ultrasound therapy the lump will be reduced. As Therapeutic ultrasound therapy is designed to help activate the cellular mechanism and lose the tissue as well. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Ive recently ( one week ago) had a right sided inguinal hernia repair, a mesh was used. I am concerned that Im getting funny sensations in the groin, the occasional bit of shooting discomfort into the right side of the penis and testicle ( I assume this is nerve related) and pain in the right side of my back (SI joint region) when I sit too long. And when I empty my bladder it feels as I havent emptied it fully and within in 30 minutes I need to go to the toilet again.Its also numb around the incision area. What I am experiencing is this normal? will all these symptoms eventually wear off?. I wasnt informed of any of this before my surgery and now I am concerned and worried. Im started to regret having the surgery. Thanks
|
Hello. Thank you for the query. After inguinal hernia surgery the main symptom is pain in the wound area. Other mentioned symptoms are not characteristic. Your symptoms indicate urinary tract infection or testis inflammation. Frequent urinating, burning while urinating, back main, lower abdominal pain and groin pain are typical UTI symptoms. I suggest you to visit your doctor, have urinalysis and testis ultrasound. Hope this will help. Regards

My father is 52years old he is suffering from diabetes from last 1 month he realised fever in evening and pain behind ear during driving bike he feel pain in neck and many times numbness and tingling in foot during night he becomes very weak and also he feel cold in this hot weather doctor say his eosinophilic count increase and his tonsil become enlarged. Please suggest your opinion.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your fathers symptoms. These are suggestive of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). In DPN, the peripheral nerves (located in the skin) get affected. The common sites where nerves get affected are feet and hands. The common symptoms due to DPN are tingling, burning, numbness and pain in feet and hands. Nerve conduction studies may be done to confirm the diagnosis. Medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules could help reduce the symptom severity. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

Hi i am working on a journalism project for a class on a new cancer treatment. I ve been told that with traditional cancer treatments the medicine often does not reach the cell. In your experience what is the success/ failure rate of traditional treatments? Also how much of a difference would a treatment that can deliver the medicine directly to the cell make to your patients?
|
Hi there, Traditional cancer medicines are harmful in many ways. They cause delay in people seeking modern treatment. Even if one starts on treatment, they may stop it believing in traditional treatment methods etc. Once the cancer progresses beyond any cure and patients suffer in pain etc., they return to hospitals and then It's too late for modern medicine to offer anything but pain relief and palliative care. The traditional cancer doctors are usually very nice talkers and give plenty of time and listen to patients and more or less play with vulnerable patients emotions and then once they fail they put the blame back on the patients for not doing things exactly according to their instructions etc.... Also people are cheated financially in the process. Any person advertising alternative or traditional methods and claiming cure should be prosecuted. Why people don't go for traditional medicine when they meet a traffic accident or heart attack?? Why only for cancer???? Have you thought about it? Regards

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Most of the erectile dysfunction are caused due to anxiety and apprehension rather than physical health conditions. Diabetics is a known cause of ED if it is not under control. Hernia is not directly related to ED. But anxiety and obsession due to these health conditions (of course due to any health conditions) can cause ED. You are going in for a surgery and that anxiety and apprehension could be the cause. Don't worry. It will be alright. You should also understand, that no health conditions can reduce the length of your penis. Due to anxiety, stress etc. the penis skin could shrink, that's all.

During a common cold, I bent over coughing and felt intense burning/pins & needles in my upper arms, shoulders, & chest, which went away soon after I stopped coughing. Later, I was doubled over with a bad cough and also felt it on the front of my thighs. Am I just coughing so hard I m cutting off some circulation? I ve coughed harder than this.... I m 52 years old and in very good health. This cold is the first time I ve ever had this happen. thanks!
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, this is not due to cutting of circulation due to coughing. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out lung infection and bronchitis in your case because you are having chest discomfort and worsening cough after viral upper respiratory tract infection (common cold). And lung infection and bronchitis are common after common cold. So consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out lung infection. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids and antibiotic Chat Doctor. 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.

My daughter age 33 has had severe headache and high fever (103.5 at admit to hospital,) 6 weeks off and on. Didnt know at first of typhoid. They are testing now but meantime she was treated with Zpack which helped for a week before symptoms came roaring back. Now she is on rocephin day three, still very sick. Other diseases have been ruled out. J encephalitis, meningitis, malaria.. Waiting on dengue test. How long can this goo. Before she sees improvement. Can you think of any other disease this could be?
|
HelloS he is 33 years old and off and on in hospital due to severe headache and fever. These symptoms may be due to these possibilities, these include:1 Acid malaria or falciparum malaria, also known as cerebral malaria. Get in peripheral blood film for confirmation with card test .2 Tubercular meningitis is another cause of such symptoms, and it is very hard to diagnose this in simple way. So physical examination clinical examination, lumbar puncture will rule out the disease .3 Fever of unknown origin, get in blood examination for blood culture and sensitivity test. Since fever is present for 6 weeks off & on, so there are so many other reasons but deal as mentioned above.Sometimes Chat Doctor. Good luck.

I have a rash on my scrotum that occurred about a day after having sex. It is about ten red splotches, some bigger than others. None of them have a lesion or any broken skin, but Im concerned that it may be herpes. I also have a varicocele on the side where the rash occurred. Can you give me an indication of whether this might be herpes?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I can certainly understand your concern. I have worked through your query in detail. As per your symptoms, the possibility of a fungal infection of the scrotum is very high. This can cause red blotches on the penile and scrotal skin. Moisture may enhance these blotches.It's advisable to consider a short course of antifungal antibiotics like Terminating and clotrimazole for symptomatic improvement. Avoid sexual activity until the symptoms resolve. Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if you can prescribe these medications to you. Post your further queries if any. Thank you

Hi -my son is 5 wks old (approx 4.5kg) and has a marginally enlarged kidney which is making me worry about giving him gripe water for his tummy problems. I gave gripe water last night and it worked wonders so I would love to keep giving it rather than have him suffer in pain and cry for 3hrs in a row at night. The bottle warns about giving it to anyone with impaired kidney function - does this include my sons problem or do they mean some more sever kidney problems instead? Mia
|
Hello Mia and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. The mild enlargement of kidney, isnt anything to worry about. This is considered as normal, up to a difference of 2 CMS, between the two. Kidney function is tested by doing a blood creatinine test. The enlargement seen on an ultrasound scan, is of no consequence. The scan and creatinine, need to be re-checked after a month. If you've any doubts, send me all the reports, as a direct question.

Why am I so unwell after Gall bladder removal? I did not have stones but a gall bladder that was not pumping. I am now suffering from nausea ,and if I don t have that I have the runs. It feels sore and tender inside like it was just operated on. Feel like crap most of the time. I have also had a stool test done which showed very low in digestive enzymes. My operation was 14/8/2014. Many Thanks
|
Hi.noted recent gallbladder surgery and post-operative nausea. Recovery after surgery is different from one case to another, depending on the pre-operative condition/co-morbidities. Are you eating well? Even those who has been operated on several years back, could occasionally experience pain/discomfort on the operative site, but tolerable in character and resolving spontaneously. It is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as scout film of the abdomen, ultrasound, electrolytes, etc.) and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!! ~ Chat Doctor.

HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed infection of the glans penis. This is most likely to be due to allergic reaction to acidic vaginal secretions of your wife who is likely to have vaginal infection.(Vaginitis)Please get her examined by qualified Gynecologist and treat her as per his/her advice. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Δeferin along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Along with topical antibiotic ointment like Newsprint twice daily. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice dailyEnsure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

Diagnosed sludge in gallbladder 5/52 ago got back pain RUQ pain steathorrhoea- pain wakes me up every morning around 3am pain is constant but gets very severe however my surgeon is not convinced a cholecystectomy would be the answer?? I am waiting a hida scan and a colonoscopy! I am very frustrated and convinced the gallbladder is causing all my symptoms I am normally fit and well! Since the start of my symptoms 5/12 ago I have felt awful and been admitted to hospital 4 times (sludge found on 3rd admission) with increased symptoms raised alt and crp of 187!! Why are they delaying surgery i am in agony!!!!
|
HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor . I personally feel that your pain is due to Gallbladder Sludge. Sludge increases the chances of stone formation and the stone and block the bile ducts and cause extreme pain (Colic) You said your AST is elevated. Cholecystitis can elevate AST but has any other blood tests done to look into other cause of elevated AST for example Hepatitis A, B,C E, Dengue infection. It would be more helpful if you could upload all the tests done so that I can advise you better. But as of now even I feel a Cholecystectomy is the right option for you.

my son went to dentist with bad tooth ache on Monday dentist said he had an infection dentist gave him antibiotics his face and neck swelled up over night and is having difficulty swallowing he is taking pain killers and has not eaten since sunday should I take him back to dentist or go to A&E?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems there is formation of DENTAL ABSCESS due to infection from tooth reaching below the root tips of the tooth leading to pus formation. At times the pus and infection perforates the bone and accumulates in the soft tissues leading to swelling. Antibiotics can take a longer time to resolve infection and swelling, and you should take him to the dentist back so that he can take an x Ray and if tooth can be saved he initiates a Root Canal Treatment under local anesthesia so that a channel is formed for pus Chat Doctor.
