Hello doctor,My son, aged 27 years, had multiple fistulas last year, and we took Siddha medicine and applied Mathan oil. Now he has a fistula on one side, and now the doctor advised to take Rasagandhi Mezhugu two tablets twice daily for five days. My friends told me not to take this medicine as it contains metals which affect the kidney and liver. Is it true? Is it advisable to take two tablets? He is currently on Triphala, Sangu Rasagandhi, and Mathan oil. MRI scan was taken last month. Please reply.
Hello. Rasagandhi mezhugu is the best ChatDoctor. It should be taken twice daily after food, along with a cup of buttermilk. For the first few days, we need to check the compatibility of the patient. If suitable, it should be continued for many weeks. Many studies have proven the safety of this Take care.

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history.; This condition in which all the counts of blood cells is increased t alarming levels is called polycythemia Vera. This is one of the reasons for sudden pain in abdomen and vomiting. This is due to affection of the proximal part of the small intestine called as jejunum. I would suggest you the following"First of an opinion of a Hematologist to confirm the reason and to get treatment. You may need bone-marrow biopsy. - Get another opinion of a General Surgeon to see the clinical picture. - Barium studies to find the cause. -The treatment will obviously depend upon the cause found. I hope this answers your query.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Chocolate cyst is also called an endometrium, it is one of several types of cysts on ovaries that affect women. It grows on the ovary that contains fluid and sometimes semi-solid material too. It is possible for a to still get pregnant even without removing the endometrium. Being fertile are very good if there is only one cyst, and it is small. As you have not mentioned the size and the number it is very important to know the chance of pregnancy. Chat Doctor. Daniel and GRH are two such

my wife was getting hevy periods & irriregulars on her piriod cycles doctor suggest to take fertyl-super 100mg from her cycle 5th day for 5days & duphaston on her 16th day of cycle . so when she will ovalete , whats will the exect day to do sex to get her pregnent
Hi, If your wife has irregular periods, it's better to have those medicines & do follicular scans to confirm follicle size & ovulation. Those tablets are hormones which simulate a ladies hormonal cycle, but hey cannot confirm ovulation. To rule out other causes for irregular cycles hope you have done Serum Thyroid profile / Serum Prolactin, they affect ovulation. You can have sex once her periods bleeding stops, daily or alternate day or as per your convenience. This is not for pregnancy, It's to throw out old sperms. Older the sperms, poorer the healthy pregnancy chances. As life of sperm is only 3 days. Have sex till 10th day of periods (1st day of bleeding is 1st day of periods)Then no sex for 3 days. This will help accumulate young sperms for the ovulation, which usually occurs around 14-16 day of cycle. Have sex for 4-6 days, any number of times, daily. Later than this is optional. Eggs life is only 1 day. But this schedule can be followed only if cycle is regular. Hope I have made it clear with reason. All the best Chat Doctor.

Hey I am a 16 year old female who weights about 133 and is 5 5. I have been having right side pain and my doctor told me i had gallbladder polyps, and thickening wall:) But they sent me for a hida scan.. And i havent found the news yet.. if it turns out to be normal will i have to still have it moved cause of the polyps?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. A HIDE scan is an imaging procedure that helps track the production and flow of bile from your liver to your small intestine. You must have been advised this to see if there is any obstruction to the bile flow due to the polyps. However, the decision for surgery will depend on the severity of the symptoms and how much of dysfunction they are causing you. So, please discuss this in detail with your doctor and make an informed decision. Best wishes,

I got stung by a jelly fish in SC on vacation. The last few weeks, I have sweating and feel hot all the time, arthralgias and myalgias. I have fibromyalgia and a connective tissue disease, could this be related to the jelly fish sting, I still have the marks.
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. Yes, it can cause such type of reactions I would like to suggest to you that you should undergo blood testing. Without testing, it will be very difficult to diagnose such condition because you have connective tissue disease also. Jelly bean sting can be associated with such a reaction because it can be image myoglobin in the muscle. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.

Hi my child has flu smytoms since yesterday and her temp went up to 38.4 gave her calpol and neurofen she s hot and cold hasn t eaten in two days she s sleeping all day she is drinking tho and now in bed she sweating and temp is dropped to 35.2 she s 9 years old she also has small rash on chest
Hi... This looks like viral illness...especially so with rash occurring. 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 500Β mg per dose) 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 am 35 year old and i have been diagnosed with Fibrolipoma/lipoma on my left breast. prominent duct seen in retroareolar quadrant of left breast. Now i would like to know how dangerous is this and is there any chance of cancer occurence in future as my mother caught with breast cancer diseases.
Hello Breast lipoma rarely undergo malignant transformation and these lesions are not associated with increased risk of developing breast cancer. Lipomas are mostly asymptomatic and coincidentally noticed on routine mammography however some patients may present with a painless palpable breast lump. Mostly it doesn't require any treatment, but enlargement of lipoma is an indication for biopsy. Get well soon. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi, The above reports suggest that your wife is at a very very very low risk to carry an abnormal baby. The cut-off to do further testing is 1 in 250 for downs(nowadays, we take the cut off as 1/150), anyhow, but your wives values are very safe at 1/870. This is a very reassuring result. So please do not worry. Everything seams to be fine at the moment. You should keep calm and look forward to the rest of the pregnancy. Hope this helps.

Hi I had glandular fever 2yrs ago and about 3-4 months later started to experinece alot of neurological problems with pins and needles and numbness in hands at night, pains in my head, and other parts of my body. The neuro at the time dignosed post infectious polyneropathy related to EBV. Had ful tests-MRI, spinal tap, bloods etc, all normal. Since then I have developed tremors particularly at night time (resting tremor?) which wake me up though they have reduced in intensity of late thank god. I ocassionally in the day get some tremors(intention) but its not severe and when focused I notice nothing at all. But lately I have been feeling weird sensations in my hands particularly. My worry is that this will progress to the point that I lose motor function. Is this a possibilty? I do not have diabetes.
Hi, it appears to be a poly neuropathy not related to the fever, it may be related to anemia, hypertension, anxiety, gastritis etc. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. I to my patient with such symptoms investigate for the cause, and in absence of the cause I prescribe neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, oral anti oxidants, and sanitizing, iron preparations, and anxiolytic. Thank you.

Hi, my period is 3 months late already. Is there a possibility that I might be pregnant? We have an unprotected sexual intercourse with my bf 3 days after my period last September 4. I dont experience spotting. Last few months we have a vigorous training and I suffer from weight loss. But now, I was wondering why I have clear nipple discharge from both of nipples.
Hello, I hope I can help you today. First, any woman having unprotected intercourse is at risk for pregnancy. In addition, missing your period is the most common sign of pregnancy. Weight loss due to exercise can also cause you to miss your period, so there is no way to know if you are pregnant based solely on symptoms. However, nipple discharge can be caused by other hormone abnormalities that can also cause irregular periods. An excess of the hormone Prolactin, which stimulates milk production, can be produced as a side effect of medications or even from a type of benign pituitary tumor. Depending on your age, abnormalities of the breast ducts or even rarely, breast cancer, can cause nipple discharge. So if you have not yet done so, you should perform an over the counter pregnancy test and if the results are negative, I recommend you see your local physician for an evaluation of your hormone levels. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. Let me know if you have further queries. Best wishes,

Since I was 15, I have been in a dreamlike state, which I feared to be Depersonalisation disorder. I am 29 now and this feeling has not gone away, even for a moment, in the last 14 years. I have done more searching and found this thing called Oneirophrenia. I am aware that I have sugar problems and need to get it under control, but do not know exactly what to get tested for. Can Oneirophrenia last this long without any relief?Which tests would determine this diagnosis?
Oneirophrenia is a clinical diagnosis that your doctor makes after reviewing your history. It is a diagnosis that is now RARELY made. You should consult a psychiatrist who will evaluate you in detail. Chat Doctor. Depending on your complaints and history, the doctor may or may not order some tests. You say that you have sugar problem. If you are diabetic, then follow guidance of your doctor regarding medicines, diet and exercise. I hope this answers your question.

My wife is 20 weeks pregnant and has an abnormally high heart rate. She did a 24 hour test and her average heart rate is 115. Her blood pressure is normal. The echogram showed no problems. She has to do a thyroid function test next week. Is this anything to be concerned about?
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Many women experience a fast heartbeat while they are pregnant, and as long as the doctors' evaluation of her heart as well is for other medical problems the can cause rapid heartbeat, such as thyroid disease, are negative than the symptom is likely just due to pregnancy. A pregnant women blood volume increases to one half times greater capacity during pregnancy to provide the placenta with oxygen as well is prepare her body for childbirth, so during the adjustment period, her body may just be under some additional stress. Furthermore, if your wife has gained a lot of weight since the beginning of the pregnancy, even ordinary activities can make her heart race compared to when she is not pregnant. So in summary, as long as your wife is under proper medical care and receiving an evaluation, there really is no reason to worry. Furthermore, your wives rapid heartbeat does not have any negative effect on the fetus, so there is no need to worry about the baby in the situation. I hope that I was adequately able to answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,

My Dr. has given me duratics, beta blockers, calcium channel breakers and ace inhibitors together for treating hbp. With all this medication my bp readings are 150-160/80-85. I have a very healthy life style I do one hour exercise also. My question is why I am taking four types of pills from all from group of treating HBP.? and what could be the best prescription for treating hbp.
Hello, The best combination for you would be combination of ace inhibitor and calcium channel blocker and optimize the dose of each to max. Level. If still not controlled a diuretic and lastly beta blocker. So I would consider increasing the dose of individual medication mostly ace inhibitor and CCB and if necessary add a diuretic. Still if it's not controlled multiple medications from different group may be tried to bring blood pressure under 135/85 at all times. An alpha blocker like prancing would be good alternative In spite of such healthy lifestyle you may still need to take medication if the pressure are controlled, because you may be prone to higher blood pressure genetically. Hoping I could help. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello dairy understand your concerns is complex disease and treatment response is variable. It causes hormonal imbalance, menstrual irregularity, insulin resistance and weight gain. All these factors cause female infertility. Both glucose, phaeton and closed will help to become pregnant. Glucopahse: decrease insulin resistance and induce ovulationDupahston: regularize hormone imbalance, support implantation and early pregnancy. Clomid : increase ovulation in 80% case and increase fertility by 50%. After taking closed go for USG scan and ovarian follicle study to know response of treatment. If ovarian follicle size will be between 18-21 mm then it will release the best quality egg and high chance of pregnancy. You should use above treatment for 4-6 months to become pregnant. You can also use Chat Doctor injection if ovulation will not occur and ova care pillaged stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor.

I have an outbreak of rashes which are red, some are raised but mostly are flat patches. This happened after I got bitten by bedbug from a taxi. Is this scabies? My dermatologist confirmed it s not while the general physician in the clinic insists it is.
Hi, thank you for asking on Chat Doctor. As per your history, you have allergic/urticaria rash due to bedbug bite.-- scabies is unlikely as scabies do not present with a bite by bedbug.--in scabies, severely itchy values like red bumps occur mainly over hands and feet, mainly webspaces.my treatment advise would be:-- you may take tab levocterizine twice a day for itching.-- you may also apply HY Chat Doctor. -- also, take tab sanitizing 150 mg twice a day before food. If lesions are persistent or severely itchy, do consult a nearby dermatologist. Wishing you good health. Thank you

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I checked your image (attachment removed to protect patient identity) if you have itching need to think of fungal infection.

hi, i recently developed a problem of spitting sputum with blood stains, and pain in my chest. i went for T.B test and the results came back negative. i then proceeded and bought augmentin antibiotics and took the full dose, though the blood stains in the sputum dissappeared and the pain bacame less there is still some little pain in my chest. i wanted to know if there is any other medication you could advice me to take. this was about 3weeks ago, thank you.
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor ... What was your diagnosis??? You have taken antibiotic and responded to it... So it could be by pneumonia like infection ... Let me know you spitting blood in sputum may be by pneumonia, bronchitis, mitral stenosis like cardiac condition, pneumoconiosis etc... But the common cause that is bronchitis and pneumonia ruled out first. For that chest x-ray done to rule out consolidation and prominent vascular marking... By such infection pleura can be involved and so there might be pleuritic chest pain... If needed ECG and PFT done... Take rest ... No need for further antibiotic... Keeping these work up in mind consult physician.... Chat Doctor.

firstly i bited my cheek once due to which white patch developed and its not healing , also i started bad breath, feel heaviness on left cheek , sometimes feel left face is swallen...dont know but only thing coming in my mind is i am having cancer ....i have shown to ENT and dentist and they said its ok and nothing of that sort but still i have doubts and its not going from my mind
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. When you have already visited ENT doctor and dentist, and they have suggested you that it is not cancer then you should be relaxed, that it is not cancer. Now I would like to ask you why do you feel it is cancer?it has no such signs and symptoms, which could be correlated to cancer. You have already mentioned that it has arose from the self-induced injury to cheek. Now the symptoms, that you are experiencing like swelling and heaviness that is just due to tissue injury and inflammation. Once the tissue repairs or heals you will feel absolutely normal.Also, you must avoid this habit further. Regarding your bad breath, that is due to improper oral hygiene or chronic sinusitis. You must rule out these too. Use antiseptic mouth wash for 15 days twice daily and look for the changes. I am sure you will be fine. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

How long can a terminally ill cancer patient (ovarian) be on hospice care? My mom has been on hospice for two months now, she is bedridden, has a catheter, morphine through port, is still eating and drinking but is extremy confused. We wonder how long a person can go on like this.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear the progress of disease in your mother. The period of survival in stage 4 cancer might vary from 6 months to 2 years.

i have a picc line in for about a week and in that time i have had pain in my arm, shoulder and chest that has slowly gotten worse, i cant raise my arm up very high without pain either... it is also hot and my best friend thinks my arm also looks a little swollen. Is this normal? should i be concerned?
Hello, As I was reading your history it misses a lot of things like why it was inserted? Since when it is inserted? Are you diabetic or do you have any high blood pressure? Any chest infection etc.? To come into a history conclusion I feel one should be able to differentiate between edema and wasting of muscles. As the upper limb is not moving much there might be wasting of muscles. Also, swelling can be caused due to poor venous return and using a stocking for it should be of choice initially and some simple exercise for upper limb should avoid swelling to persist longer. Besides, will recommend you get it checked by a physician as edema in upper limb over the left side mostly which isn't mentioned in the history needs to taken with attention without wasting time as heart may get involved. Please feel free to mention detailed history, so we can look out for a conclusion in precision. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

After some back pain from a recent fall, I had an x-ray, and the associate to the Physician s Assistant who was working with me called to say there was a compressed disk showing that seemed to be something from an earlier injury. She didn t advise anything further or tell me it was something I should keep check on, or that I should seek further medical help. I feel sure she was indeed relating the comment given to her by her superior, but I don t have any idea of what I should do now. I didn t have presence of mind enough to ask questions at the time, obviously, but I did look the condition up on Internet. I do need some clarification on the direction I should take now. Does a herniated disk mean something is critically wrong, or could be in the future, or that the fall could have affected the earlier injury ?
Hello. Actually there are a fair number of people with a herniated disc that don't even know they have one. If the herniated part of the disc begins to compress a nerve root that can cause articular symptoms like numbness or pain or both shooting down a leg. In general there's no need for surgery with a herniated disc since the symptoms usually respond to physical therapy and if necessary, epidural injections.

I have been having upper abdominal pain and possible gallbladder problems. I am having a HIDA scan tomorrow. Yesterday and today I have been having black stool. It s not all black but is between the size of a dime up to a quarter. Smells foul. I haven t been eating anything that would give that color. Is this something I need to be concerned about? I am 56 yrs old female and overweight. I had my follow up colonoscopy in January which was fine. Ultrasound showed no abnormality when I had that done 2 weeks ago.
Hi. Your history and old reports noted. The black stools with foul smelling stools is suggestive of gastroenteritis with bleeding somewhere in the intestines, may be due Gastroenteritis. The u[per abdominal problem can suggest a gastric ulcer or cancer, upper GI Endoscopy will help to find out. Get a treatment with PPI, Antibiotic and supportive medicines. HIDE scan and other tests will help to get to a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello doctor,I have semen in urine sometimes. While sitting or lying if I concentrate on my penis, I start having strokes. I cannot control in the flaccid position. While I do sit-ups there is a movement in the penis. It started from nightfall and my urge of not to masturbate. It is because of depression only and when I concentrate on something else it stops. If I have a good sleep, it stops. So is psychological problem frank? I am not sure if thinking is much of an issue. I had such erections problems earlier and it was only because of depression but I am not understanding other things. Do I need a doctor? I had a renal transplant nine months back and I was preventing masturbating from happening though I was getting excited many times.
Hello. I can understand your concern. Lack of masturbation and lack of sex results in a spontaneous flow of semen via urine. This occurs in order to allow new sperm to form. This is a normal phenomenon and this does not cause any effects on health. This will not result in weakness of any kind. The secretion which you have during talking or excitation is nothing but precum. This is a lubricating fluid and this too is a normal thing. Take care.

For the last few weeks, I have had the worst heartburn- heartburn isnt unusual for me, but its been chronic and really bad. I also have been getting up in the middle of the night to pee, which is not normal at all. Do these two things correlate in any way?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your medical history and would explain that the heartburn seems to be related to a gastroesophageal reflux (possible hiatal hernia, esophagitis or gastritis). I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist and performing a fibrogastroscopy. Regarding the frequent urination during the night, I don't thing that it is connected to the heartburn. It may be related to a urinary tract infection or any other disorders of the urinary tract. Do you Chat Doctor? )? There are other different causes of frequent urination during the night (prostate hypertrophy, uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence, metabolic disorders, etc.). I recommend discussing with your GP on this situation and performing some lab tests (complete blood count, fasting glucose, liver and renal function tests, blood electrolytes, urinalysis, etc.). Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards!

Hi doctor,I am 18 years old. I had fever some 15 days back, which lasted for two days. Now, for the past few days, blood is coming out along with running nose. Also, I am getting blood through cough. I am not having fever now and feel normal. However, I feel that something oozing in the throat. Around seven months ago, I had a little bit of blood on spitting. I had an x-ray before seven months and it was normal.

My wife was treated for brain tumor anaplastic astrocytoma discovered 4 years ago. Surgery removed lemon size mass followed by 8 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy (temador). then Temador 5 day monthly for 24 months. The tumor is stable but she has developed several what I think are side effects. Diabetes , controlled by insulin injections. Fatty Liver and what dermatologist are calling psoriasis It started in th scalp in the area of the radiation treatment and now appears in various locations. So far they only give her ointment and creams that sort of relive the itching but do little to stop the outbreaks . Is psoriasis typical with this cancer treatment? Where can she actually receive help?
Hi, Thank you for your query. Radiotherapy has only local effect, that is effect/side effect is seen only in organ or site where radiotherapy was given. Psoriasis is unlikely to be due to radiotherapy. In fact there are reports suggesting radiotherapy can flare up psoriasis, which may be the case with your wife. Similarly, Fatty liver and diabetes also seem not related to the chemotherapy. A dermatologist can help with her psoriasis. Good luck

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is more. Fluttering sensations in chest are mostly due to arrhythmia. And arrhythmia is common in smokers. So consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. You are also having breathlessness. So chances of COPD (emphysema or bronchitis) is also high as you are a active smoker. Smokers are prone ti develop emphysema after the age of 40 years. So at 44 years of age, you are at risk of developing emphysema. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose COPD, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will improve with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). In any case, quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi yes I m thirteen weeks pregnant and a couple weeks ago I noticed my urine had turned a dark cloudy orange and taken on a very overwhelming sweet smell. My doctor said it was from dehydration so for the last two weeks I ve litterally drank an 8 ounce glass of water for every hour I m awake but no change and now I m having pain near my kidneys. Could I possibly have a kidney infection?
Hello there. Yes dark cloudy urine can be a sign of urinary infection. The chances of infection are more than you now even have pain in the abdomen. Any urinary infection in pregnancy should be taken care of early as it can lead to complications like abortion or premature delivery. Also, if left untreated can lead to spreading of infection to the kidneys (pyelonephritis) and sepsis. So you should get your urine microscopy and culture tests done. Antibiotics to be started according to the reports. Take care.

Before getting excited about transmission of hepatitis c the antibody test should be rechecked along with a hepatitis c RNA viral load to see if you actually have hepatitis c or not. If you do actually have it, the chance of transmitting to others is low except with blood or needle contact. It is not passed with casual contact. Please have retesting done as I have suggested to help know what you are dealing with. If you have the actual virus newer treatments are available to get rid of it.

I am a 48 yr old female who had a follow-up CT w/wo contrast the other day. The first one was in april of this year because I felt nausea all the time for about 2 months. Same thing happened last year around the same time of year but they did upper GI and that was fine, and it just went away! So when it happened this year again, we did CT scan . First one in april says 0.5 cm subscapsular low attenuation lesion in left lobe of liver.to small to accurately characterize. also a subcentimeter right renal cyst . Urinary bladder is underdisteded. And there were some cysts on pelvic wall likely ovarian, more numerous on the right than the left and together measuring 6 cm on right and 2 cm for the one on left pelvic wall. So, all that said...the Ct I just had the other day says left hepatic lobe lesions are stable. what does that mean? and minimal focal fatty infiltration along falciform ligament???? also,stable subcentimeter right renal cyst???? interval resalution of cysts noted along left pelvic sidewall on prior examination. 1,7 cm right anterior pelvic cyst is unchanged. two additional right pelvic cysts present on prior exam have resolved. impression was the pelvic cyst is likely ovarian in origin (I had left ovary and tube removed about 4 years ago due to a cyst of 6 cm which was benign and the tube was bad because endometriosis that I didnt know I had! stable subcentimeter hepatic low attenuation lesions and small right renal cyst. mild benign depression of the superior endplate of L1 (I have a herniated disc L4-5, and spinal stenosis and arthritis around a very old fracture from when I was a kid. So....can you tell me what all this means? nausea is gone for now...tired alot and drink 5 hr energy drinks to keep working all day! and about once a year my ferritin gets very low...H&H is always fine, but my hematologist gives me IV faraheam treatment. had gastric bypass 8 years ago and lost about 100 lbs, had my gallbladder removed about 15 years ago, had partial hysterectomy about 12 years ago due to bleeding, I see a hematologist because I have Vonwillabrands. Runs if the family! So can you tell me what all that stuff really means??? thank you!
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. What all that stuff mentioned in your CT Scan report means is that you are perfectly alright and do not have any major problem. Since the lesion in the liver is stable, it is most likely a hematoma which does not require any treatment. You have had a very eventful past medical history and lets us hope we do not have to continue with that anymore. What you really need is, to relax and look at the positive side of life and enjoy life to the maximum and stop worrying about your ailments.

sometimes my heart feels like it all of a sudden is pumping extra hard like a surge of adrenaline or something and i have to take several deep breaths before it stops. there is no usual time it happens, just periodically throughout the day. It kind of feelis like air bubbles passing through my heart. do you know what may cause this? i m 23 years old, 5 8 and about 130 lbs.
Hi, It could be because of extra beat which happens sometimes called as PVC or APC. It occurs due to sleep problem, anxiety, stress, alcohol, smoking, and thyroid problems. To confirm you'll need ECG and if its normal then holder monitoring, echo and later may need thyroid test. Most of the times they are benign And not a matter of worry. Treatment involves the treatment of cause and avoid smoking if any. If disturbing too much then you can get tab Collar LA prescribed from your local doctor. Hope I have answered your query.

DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. There is nothing to worry in that aspect.

Hi, This is nonspecific finding and there are few possible causes. In most cases this is just benign liver cysts or hematomas and rarely, this is sign of metastatic liver diseases.

hello ,i just had flu symptoms around 2 month ago( extreme body ache ,fever,sweating,rashes,tiredness) for around 7 days and from that time experienced mild pain around the neck,armpit and behind the ear.no swelling no other symptoms.should i be worry?
Hi, I understand your concern. Flu is often associated with the symptoms you already had experienced like ache, fever, sweating, rashes, tiredness. The pain you are now feeling around the neck, armpit and behind the ear is suggestive of any possible mild complication of the flu (most probably ear infection although at early stage). Now, I recommend consulting with your doctor or ENT specialist to check your ears. If infection is confirmed, antibiotics orally and/or locally (ear Chat Doctor. For the moment, I advise taking OTC anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or paracetamol until you see your doctor. Wish fast recovery.

Dementia is a degenerative disorder where brain tissue gets into irreversible damage, making it very difficult to improve. However a detail investigation has to be made to OK into cause of dementia to find out a reversible cause of dementia like hypothyroidism, vitamin deficiency etc., in such cases dementia can improve. In other cases dementia is unlikely to improve, though disease progression can be halted with proper treatment with medication and lifestyle modifications. Chat Doctor.

my mom is very sick, she has suffered from a heart attack and a stroke in the past couple of months. Weve noticed that shes sleeping a lot and has no energy. Just recently her sleeping is deeply (nothing wakes her, not the phone, us talking or anything) does this mean anything?
Hi, It could have different causes, the most possible cause are changes in the brain caused by previous strokes which can have different presentations, also sleep disturbances. Heart patients can have such problems when the patient is very sick and the brain doesn't receive enough blood supply because the heart works very weak. Sleep disturbances are common also among older people, usually after 85-90 years. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions

Hi, I have had an odd feeling under my left rib for a few days now. I noticed it after a workout a few weeks ago but didn t really notice it again until a few days ago. Feels like pressure under left rib... No pain, however sometimes feel soar. Sometimes left chest area also feels sore and sometimes my chest feels heavy but mostly just an annoying weird knot feeling under rib. Getting very anxious about it and I think anxiety is making it 10 times worse. I am 24, male, 6 ft, 230 pounds. Might be unrelated but couple of weeks ago I got a red very sensitive bump under my left armpit that went away and came back but has since been gone. Stopped using deodorant and haven t noticed anything. Going to try sensitive skin deodorant. Might be a just sensitive skin or ingrown hair. Also might be unrelated but I just cleaned both ears with qtips and one ear had speck of blood from outer ear and one ear had speck of blood from inner ear. Freaked me out. Can t go to the doctor for a couple of weeks because of insurance purposes and just wanted advice beforehand. Anxiety is making me really bad.
Thanks for asking you question completely understand your problem this feeling of heaviness or soreness can be due to work out or any injury during workout. I there am pain or pain persists for more than a week you should get chest X-ray done and consult a pulmonologist and regarding your ear problem, don't use any object like matchstick to clean up your ear you can use some branded cotton buds to clean that too occasionally.seems like this bleed was from external ear .and regarding other ear you should consult an ENT specialist to rule out the cause and before the infection flares upthanksmay god bless you with good health feel free to ask, IFF you have more queries

HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts and report of your semen analysis that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Asthenospermia meaning there by that the percentage of active forward moving sperm is zero. Active forward motile sperms are the only sperms capable of fertilization of a female egg resulting in to pregnancy. Sperms with grade 3 motility are not able to fertilize the female egg. Your semen analysis revealed presence of 1-2pus cells suggestive of infection either in seminal vesicle or prostate. Please take antibiotic like Doxycycline for one month and repeat your semen analysis after 6 weeks. There are chances of improving the percentage of active grade one sperm. Chat Doctor.

hi my name is Matt, i have been struggling with back pain ever since i was about 14 (now i am 21). i never paid it much attention, i was a very stubborn and strong willed individual. well it got progressively worse to the point i couldn t take it anymore, and i wanted to get it checked out. that was a year ago, i went to a chiropractor and they took an x-ray . i found out then that i have scoliosis . they did some treatments but to no avail. so i dealt with it being the stubborn person that i am. about 3 months ago the pain came back, and has not went away. now when i say pain, i mean it is a constant aching pain and it feels very tight and alot of pressure on it, not to add that when i bend and sometimes twist my lower back will lock up on me.i cannot move no matter how hard i try. and it can range in duration anywhere from 1 minute to about 20 mins. it just happened to me about 30 mins ago. i see a orthopedic Dr on the 11th, but im not sure if he will do anything for me or not. can you help me out and tell me possibly what could be going on and why my back locks up and why it has lasted so long. as well as how i can get better. no exercises though i tried that last night and it only irritated it even more. thank you for you time.
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Physiotherapy and exercises are the main elements of conservative therapy for your condition. Initial orthopedic evaluation is necessary.X-ray followed by MRI might be needed. Your scoliosis will be graded according to the angle of curvature. Bracing can be recommended if it suits you.

Hi, for the last 5 months I have had 3 lumps in my neck, pea size, they do not hurt, but recently my neck aches where they are, I have been to the doctors a few times, my blood test was fine, and was told i had no infections, and to keep an eye on the lumps, I recently found a very small lump under my chin, my body is so tired i just want to lie down all day and do nothing, On a few occasions my right leg goes totally numb and im unable to walk it last a few minutes, I get bad headaches including migraines. My doctor has now put me forward to see a hematologist, in the day if i do anything little, like standing up and washing the dishes i sweat so much,this has been happening for ages now. I am getting very bad lower back pains, and stomach aches the last few weeks, as of yesterday I have felt quite poorly, and last night my neck felt swollen and realised i now have a swollen left tonsil, which is slightly white there is no pain whatsoever. Sorry for going on so long just wanted to put across everything
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node in neck. It can be due to enlarge lymph node. Lymph node enlargement may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for 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.

iwas diagnosed with mild stroke? had three mri done ordered by neurologist was told after all these mri,s watch your diet, take aspirin, if symptons happen again go to ER. Symtons were not typical, went shopping walked to store, eyes went Bezerck going super fast from left to right, I got scared,held on to the car, closed my eyes real tide took of my glasses and it stopped, but I believed it started slowly a week before, I lay down on couch or bed turn to left on pillow,im a side sleeper and would get slitly dizzy that went on for a while. now this light dizziness is starting again, im scared. im a type 2 diabetic and also started an uti again, have some antibiotics left over from last episode in april, im taking, its easing off. im scared to go to hospital, I just got insurance with florida blue found out with these MRI s that I have a $6.000 deductible. They say MRI shows left artery in brain blocked, and walked sideways like a drunk for a while, still walk a ;ittle stiff, but my legs(unrelated to stroke they say) been hurting in the thighs quite a while. Im scared right now because when I lay down slight dizziness happening again
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. Dizzy spells could be an early warning sign of a stroke but very rarely lead to stroke. This should be emphasized, rather than merely noted. It is silly to be frightened over a rare possibility when far more common causes are existing. You should continue with your medicines and get proper follow-ups for the blockage of artery which can be treated. So there is no need to get scared of dizziness which very rarely causes stroke. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

I want to consult an expert oncologist in the context of my brothers colon cancer with metastasis on liver.He is now treated with Avastin in TVM. I want to know whether holistic medicines orally taken together with the chemo and Avastin could help to improve his condition.? Menon
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your brother has colon cancer with metastasis in liver. So it is already stage 4 cancer. Chance of cure is negligible. Chemotherapy help as palliative treatment. Despite treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is the fact. Consult your doctor and plan 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. Wish you a very good health.

Hello doctor,I am a-25-year-old female. I am a PCOS patient and had sex two days ago (that was after five days since my periods ended). My periods are usually irregular but it occurs sooner or later and I usually have a long cycle more than 30 days. So while sex, my condom broke and I took an I-pill immediately and also in the next day morning. I want to know if the I-pill will work irrespective of having PCOS and what are the chances of getting pregnant?
Hello. Since you have a longer than usual cycle as expected of PCOS, less likely that you are fertile on the day you had sex. It would be an even added protection that you took the I-pill. The I-pill will work whether you have PCOS or not. Comparing to a non-PCOS patient, you have lower chance of getting pregnant after taking the I-pill. If you took the first pill within 24 hours after sex, it is said to be 95 % effective. Take care.

I went to the dentist yesterday and they told me I had an infection in my tooth, i was prescribed amnioxcillin and tylenol 3 its been one day, the pain hasnt gone away yet. My dentist said its the infection thats causing the pain. and i should feel results within 48 hours. Is this correct?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if you have infection in the tooth with pain there is a possibility that there is dental abscess formation and although medications can help in resolution of infection and relieve pain, but it is not permanent solution. Yes, you may see improvement in 48 hours, but a Rue time slot cannot be given and everything will depend on the exact condition of the tooth and treatment of the tooth will finally resolve the problem. I would suggest you to consult your dentist back or an Endodontist and get evaluated and an x-ray of the tooth will be advised to you. In case of deeper decay root canal treatment of tooth can help. In case if tooth is not in a condition to be saved extraction is advisable. You can also ask me a direct question by going to my profile and clicking on ask me a question and there you can upload the scans of the x-rays so that I can guide you appropriately after evaluation of the x-ray and asking further details. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

It s red, about 1 to 1 1/2 inch long and comes out soft like tissue. I am a male, 54 years old, with a history of kidney stones. Your thoughts?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some urinary tract infection or kidney stone. You should go for urine routine and microscopic examination as well as ultrasound abdomen. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

my Child was hypothyroisim she had high tsh and very low t3 and t4.we diagnosed her when she was three months.now she is six months old.she uses throxine tabletes 50 mcg O/D.her weight is 6.50 kgs.now we did test for her her t3 ,t4, and tsh is normal but the doctor said she should continue using thyroxine.we she be normal baby?? pz answer
Hi Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Probably your child has congenital hypothyroidism. In this condition the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroxine hormone, so it has been given in the form of tablet for normal growth and development of the body and brain. So it is safe, and it must be given regularly and lifelong. She needs blood test few times a year which helps to adjust the dose of thyroxine. Take care.

Hello- My husband was diagnosed with fsgn 10 yrs ago,he has gone on dialisis the full transplant the failure back to dialisis again. He was 24 when diagnosed. Our doctors here know very little about the disease and can t really tell us what his life will be like from here on out. We will try to get transplant again but dr s don t seam real interested in trying again. We would like to ave a life again, possibly try for a baby? Is that possible? What kind of life expectancy does he have? With all of his medications are his sperm still active? Thank you
Hi there. FIGS (or FSGN) as you may call it can have recurrence after transplant. If the transplant failed very soon (less than one year after transplant it may not be worth trying again for transplant but if it lasted more than 3 to 5 years you may want to go again for transplant. Life expectancy is 5 to 10 year on HD and 10 to 20 yrs on transplant. You can have kids. Test for semen analysis. Can go for in vitro fertilization if not able to get pregnant naturally

My 6 year old son began vomitting and diarrhea about 10 hours ago and running a fever of 101.7-regular stomach virus symptoms. He just woke up complaining of his right side hurting when he takes a deep breath. Could he have pulled muscles from dry heaving.
Hi, It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting. You need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I have had mild acne for years and it seems to be under control now with an occasional break out here and there, mainly just trying to fix scarring. I am a 26-year-old male. Currently, I am using the Menscience brand facial wash, Mirco scrub, and rosewater toner. I lie to keep things simple. I just started the facial wash and scrub about a couple weeks ago, alternating between the two so that I do not over exfoliate, and it has been good to me. No breakouts or irritation and I can tell slightly that my complexion is better. I also try to do some organic and natural remedies on occasion, like turmeric powder face masks to lighten the dark areas.I was intrigued by the menscience products due to the glycolic ingredient in them as well as salicylic acid. I have researched that these are good ingredients to slough away dead skin cells so I can fade these scars.Now for the big issue, my face looks pretty decent in natural lighting or inside the house but as soon as I step into direct sunlight, I look horrible. It is a complete change from what I see in my mirror at home and I am wondering if I need to add more glycolic products to my regime or what.I see other\s face and direct sunlight does not show imperfections like it does mine. It makes my face look 10 times worse and I do not know what to do. I do not want to just avoid sunlight to fix my paranoia, I want to fix the problem for good.I get regular microdermabrasion treatments monthly in conjunction with my current products that have the glycolic acid. Do I just need to give these new washes more time to slough away the scars and smooth it out or should I incorporate a glycolic pad to speed up the process?
Hi. I am glad you asked this. Could you also upload a photo of your face both indoors as well as in natural daylight? I need to have a close-up view to pinpoint the diagnosis and suggest a remedy. I appreciate your concern. For more information consult a dermatologist online Take care.

On my left side of my mouth above my second molar there is a bump about the size of a pea that is very sensitive to pressure. When I press on the bump if feels as if I m trying to pull out my molar. Any idea what this bump could be. About 5 years ago I had a filling done on this tooth. There is no pain coming from the tooth though. Only pain from the pressure of the bump. It s getting to the point now that when I m eating occasionally it will bother me.
The bump in that region suggests that you are having an infection below that filling that you got five years back which is spreading to the roots and forming pus there. Usually this can arise when the decay spreads below the filling, and we call it secondary caries. Though it's not bothering you much now I would suggest you to get an x-ray of that region that would clarify it, and then you would require a re-filling with a root canal treatment. Don't be deceived by the painless nature of it as it may grow any time and get it treated as soon as possible. Take care.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The jaw pain can be because of the myofascial pain dysfunction syn Chat Doctor. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a myofascial pain you need to take an analgesic with muscle relaxant like ibuprofen and chlorzoxazone respectively. If it is secondary to TMJ disorder, then you have to take proximal tablet. You should not eat hard things and do not open your mouth too wide. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello doctor,I took Lamotrigine for six years at around 300 to 600 mg I think. I have been off it and unmedicated for depression and anxiety for the last 5 to 6 years roughly besides some Xanax that I used three years ago. I am a 25-year-old male and have been having small memory lapses lately but they are very inexplicable ones and I wanted to know if there is any evidence that Lamictal use for the length of time I did could cause long term issues with memory or dementia.
Hi. As you mentioned that you are suffering from depression and was always undermedicated, in depression, it is common to have a disturbance of memory and attention which lead to forgetfulness. These memory issues are most probably due to depression itself and not due to Lamotrigine use. For depression, I would suggest you have an SSRI which are the best treatment strategies for depression and discuss your memory lapses to your psychiatrist.

My baby is 2 months old and doesn t pass the stool. After 2nd day onwards he cries a lot and on consultation with pedidatrician suggested to use 1/4 of Dulcoflex for children. He will settle down after passing the stool. Is it advised to use it for longer period of time, we are using it from last 20 days for every 3 days ? He is currently under breast feeding and occassionally on bottle feed. Any suggestions to pass the stool normally without using Dulcoflex?
Hi....it is pretty common for breast food infants to be having some amount of constipation. If your kid is passing motion once in 3 days that means it is normal for him, and it is his regular cycle to pass stools. I advise you not to use Dulcolax for a longer time as it is not the natural way to make stools come. This hard stools I'd quite common especially when formula feeding is also initiated. Try giving your kid exclusive breastfeeds till 6 months of age. Regards -

Have had 3 ct scans to the chest area since feb of this year, i am told i need to repeat it again in sept. The results show i have a tumour 1 inch big in the lower right lung (under breast) my doctor put me on zithromicin for 10 days as i am bringing up green thick phlegm. Have been complaining of experiencing fullness under my left rib and now have fullness across both ribs, with back pain in the morning. My chest feels tight, trouble breathing even taking two puffs of symbicort, have been on this medication for years for bronchitis, twice daily, as needed. My doctor wants to wait for the results of my 4th ct scan before seeing a specialist to get a biopsy in case it is cancer. Im just wondering if i should ask to see a specialist sooner then later.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist. Following are the possibilities in your case. 1. Worsening of bronchitis. 2. Worsening of lung mass (enlargement) 3. Pulmonary embolism. So you need repeat PFT, CT Pulmonary Angiography. PFT will tell you about severity of bronchitis. According to the severity, you may need additional bronchodilators. CT Pulmonary Angiography will diagnose Pulmonary embolism if present. It will also tell you about size of the tumor whether increased or not. So better to consult pulmonologist as soon as possible and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I suspect you may have Genital herpes. The features you are having like blisters, rashes and itching are typically genital herpes symptoms. It is one of the sexually transmitted disease. It does not necessarily mean to transfer by sex. Furthermore, it may be transmitted by use of infected individuals soap and scents etc. There is no permanent cure for genital herpes. But the symptoms can be lessened and prevented with treatment. Treatment can also reduce the risk of passing the virus on to someone else. Usual treatment for Genital herpes is Antivirals like Acyclovir. Your Primary care physician may know about the dosage and Chat Doctor. My advice is to get proper physical examination by dermatologist. If possible, consider swab test for further diagnosis. Hope this helps. Please reply for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Hello doctor,My wife started her last menstrual cycle on the 22nd of the previous month. We had protected sex on the 27th of the previous month. Unfortunately, the condom ruptured but, I was able to pull it out a few seconds before ejaculating. Just to be safe, she took an I-pill seven hours after intercourse. She had light spotting after a week which lasted for three days. It has been almost a month since her last period and she is not showing any signs of PMS. Is there any possibility of pregnancy?
Hello. I have gone through your query and understand the concerns. I-pill has the usual side effect of delaying the next expected periods by two to three weeks. So, most likely her periods are delayed due to the pill. I will suggest her to get a urine pregnancy test done if the periods are delayed. If negative, then she can safely wait for the periods for another two weeks. Hope you found the answer helpful. Regards. For more information consult a fetal medicine specialist online

Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. A lump behind the left nipple area with redness, possible cause could be cyclical changes, autoimmune as you have some issues with it, and infective etiology.2. In this case you need to get an ultrasound examination of the breast - that will help to know where the lump is from (muscle, fat, duct, skin), what is the nature of the lump (solid, cystic, mixed) and then finally where all it is extending to.3. That will help to get a conclusion, at least you have mentioned what description given in the report would have been helpful.4. Depending on findings - if mass FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology, If cystic structure / infective cause - a small incision and Chat Doctor. 5. Suggest to see the surgeon as told and get needful treatment - good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia most likely.

Hi I m currently on the combined pill. But last month I was in hospital for 2 days with a kidney infection, during this time I had high temperature and was vomiting. I was on the pill and I finished the pack. After pack was over I had my period as normal. I am now back on the pill and have been for 2 days. I was wondering do I need to wait the 7 days before having sex or will I automatically be protected?
Hello misunderstand your concerns you took pill whole month and period is already came, and you also had started again new pack last for 2 days.

Hello, Firstly I would like to say I have been in and out of seeing my doctor and having testing done. In 2008 I had my gallbladder removed. Afterwards, I still had to watch what foods I ate. I am also lactose intolerant after I had my daughter in 1995. In the past six months approximately when I was caring for my inlaws....they eat a very high protein and fibre diet....after a week with them I then developed IBS symtoms and was not able to go to the toilet for days. And my stomach had a dull ache all the time and was beginning to get phantom pains where my gall bladder was. This is the scary part: my rib cage is curled upwards from the swelling in my stomach that will not go down for the past week. I try and watch my acid intake as my gp said I will have to watch my ph balance in my stomach. Which he is right...the more acidic foods I eat the worse the swelling gets. I have had the cameras up and down and the only thing they could find is that I have the beginning stages of getting ulcers in my stomach and to follow a FODMAP diet (which doesn t work). I take atenenol 25mg daily for high blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse, I was taking nexium but it stopped working and I find more comfort in a digestive tea that has calendula in it. I am constantly nauseated and cannot eat properly without severe bloating, gas, cramps, headaches, vomiting sometimes (nothing of black or dark discoloration in my vomit) same with when I go to the toilet as well. I am almost considering going to spend the six to 12 hours in the emergency room just so I can get some answers. I am afraid it is something way more severe than what they are telling me. Can you please try to help me. Thank you
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorYou really seems to have multiple medical conditions, and you became too much conscious and so why you are having different thoughts about that, nothing is serious here, I suggest you to follow the medical instruction must have been given to you, keep your stress level low, It does not look any big problems even after many medical conditions, if you go on thinking weird then it may be possible that you could possibly face some functional conditions, so just take it easy, and have nice day.

Last night I ate some chicken alfredo from an italian place and later began throwing up and having stomach pains. I thought I might have gotten food poisioning, but through the night I kept having pains like I needed to go to the bathroom, but when I did blood just came out. The pain I m having is right below my belly button and is kinda like menstreul cramps . Also I had sex almost two weeks ago so I don t know if I could be pregnant or not.
Dear Dense, hello. According to your symptoms you are having severe intestinal infection. Blood in stool and pain abdomen are indicative of that.

My mother is diagnosed with CKD.She is a chronic diabetic patient with high blood pressure under control. She is on 40 units human mixtard (50/50) before breakfast+ 36 units subcutaneous (30/70) before dinner. She suffered from frequent UTIs since last one year and in the recent past she was admitted (sugar:560,serum creatinine:3.5) and administered high dosage of intravenous antibiotics.Thereafter when her sugar levels were under control and serum creatinine at 2.1, she was discharged and was suggested to take oral antibiotics to prevent recurrent infections. Thereafter her potassium levels started to increase (6.0) and with K bind, her potassium levels were lowered to 38. However,from past two weeks,her potassium increased from 3.8 to 4.4 and today it is at 5.3. Also, her serum creatinine last week was 2.2 and today is at 2.6.Treating doctor had advised her to take K bind and asked for a review after 2 days with reports.I would like to know with this background, is there a agressive traetment at this stage to stop further renal failure?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Your mother has CKD and creatinine and potassium levels can fluctuate. Both need to be repeated alternate day or third day, depending on condition.There's no treatment to keep both levels in normal range all the time.You've not written her age. She has diabetic nephropathy as cause for CKD. Definitive treatment is a kidney transplant or maintained dialysis later. If you've any doubts, send it as a direct question to me, with all reports. Chat Doctor. Manga.

when i play fast paced video games. after few minuntes or hourse i feel pain in my heart like my hearts going back deep inside. i have to stop playing the game. after 10~30mins i feel good normal no pain... so why i feel that pain when i play this kind of games???
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to give you my opinion. There is no relationship between playing a video game and a heart problem. The only think that might explain what you feel is related with the emotion or stress that you feel wile you play this game or the body position. The pain might be related with a body position, it might be a musculus-sceletik pain that you feel each time you play. It is possible that during the game, because of emotions you might experience a little sinus tachycardia, that means that your heart beats over 100 beats for minute, and you experience this like a heart discomfort, that ends immediately when you finish playing, and you get relaxed again. I think this is nothing serious. If it really bothers you, you can take a holder rhythm monitoring that can register your heart during these episodes. After this we can better understand what is it and what to do. Hope I was helpful. Best regards.

When my baby daughter was born she had blocked tear ducts and lots of discharge escpecially from right eye. Then at about 7 weeks under her right eye went puffy and her temple. She is now 11 months and still has almost swollen vein look under right eye and temple . it goes up and down. We have been told it is vascular . What is your opinion on it clearing up as she grows?
The problem is not unique and occurs as the opening of the nasolacrymal duct has not yet formed. Most often the formation of the structure of the tear secreting duct is complete, it is just the opening that is still not formed. You should massage the tear duct of your baby. Use gentle pressure with your finger on the outside of your babies nose and then stroke downwards towards the corner of the nose. This should be repeated several times a day. This can help to clear pooled tears in the blocked duct. It may also help the tear duct to develop. I do not think that it has vascular origin. It should clear up long before she grows up. The swollen vein is unrelated and needs more evaluation. The cause could be vascular or something else. Cannot comment on it without further details.

my mother is74 yrs old, taking treatment of lungs tuberculosis, being given 1250mg Pyzina 400mg Combutol and R CIN 450mg, she has acute joints pain in her right leg. Please tell whether it is side effects of any of the above drugs, if so, what should she take to cure this problem ?
Hi, Based on the history your mother seems to have developed gouty arthritis apparently caused by the medicines Patina and Combustor. After confirming the diagnosis she may be given a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Ask her to take plenty of oral fluids. A low steroid with tapering dose may be required for severe attacks. You do not need to discontinue Patina or Combustor. Recurrent attacks may occur while taking these medicines, consider hematologic evaluation for acute gouty arthritis attacks and possible use of colchicine to prevent recurrent attacks. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

My husband wakes up in the middle of the night choking and gagging. He has suffered with acid reflux for years. He has been prescribed nexium and now on omeprazole. Now he has persistent non productive cough, and hoarseness, don t think medication is working. What more can he do?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chronic acid reflux can cause bronchitis (inflammation of airways) and this in turn causes coughing and hoarseness of voice. So we should first treat acid reflux to reduce coughing. Only Chat Doctor. He should follow these lifestyle modifications.

Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.Don't worry, he will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

hi I am having two teeth located in the fifth position to its extreme ends(from both sides) they are very sharp and look like vampires teeth. and major problem wid dat teeth is i always feel like biting something hard,and a kind of waving sensation always lies in dat teeth.
Hi, Hi due to unusual placement of some teeth, many a time the biting forces on those teeth are more than normal which may lead to discomfort. Your problem may be related to gums, requiring a good clean up also in the area but after reading about your sharp teeth and their placement I strongly suggest orthodontic treatment i.e.: braces. Once your teetChatDoctore in normal position, it will be easier for you to clean them and the biting forces will reduce considerably resulting in relief. Regards

I have suffered from allergies to tree pollen for a number of years now but recently (last few weeks) I seem to have have experienced allergies symptoms of eyes being itchy and watering, sneezing, slight cough, headaches and with a constant perfume taste in my mouth. The usual allergies tablets don t seem to be working. What could it be
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The symptoms are suggestive of some allergic reactions. The symptoms of watering eye, sneezing, cough and headaches are classical symptoms of the allergic reaction. You need to test your blood sample for absolute eosinophil count, it will help to know the presence of allergic reactions in the body. To avoid the symptoms of asthma, you should not be exposed to the triggering factors which may be a dust, pollen or food. The allergen causing these symptoms should be avoided as for as possible. If it is not possible to avoid the allergen you can consider taking of immunotherapy by consulting your doctor. For the present symptoms, you can take the medicines like Tab Least, thrice daily for 5 days. Thank you.

My thumb is infected from a puncture bite from my puppy. I am on antibiotics, but my thumb is still very sore and the skin is peeling off a large section between the base of the thumb and the joint. Might I have MRSA and how should I protect myself and my family?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your history and the symptoms suggests me that you are having cellulitis following puppy bite. The bacteria like staphylococcus and streptococcus will survive on the surface of the skin whenever there is a break in the skin these organisms will gain entry into body and release there toxins and produce symptoms like cellulitis. If the wound is infected you may require injectable antibiotics to cover staph and strep to. The antibiotics like In CAVAM or In Piperacillin + Tazobactam combination is very effective in controlling this type of infection. As part of the post exposure prophylaxis, continue and complete the course of antirabies vaccine. Thank you.

I have a small lump in the crease between my leg and scrotum, closer to the scrotum and slightly unerneath. . . It is slightly sensitive to the touch, greasy that has a strange odor not found normally in that area.That area.seems particularly greasy. At times i scratch and pull hairs from the a near that area, and i have seen similar come and go. Ive had the habit of rubbing dead skin and scratching and pulling hairs from the crease for some time- usually when on the toilet. What are these bumps?
Hi, happy to help you on your health concern on part of Chat Doctor! In the present case of a swelling or lump in the crease between leg and scrotum, if I were your consulting physician, I would just think of only one and one possibility and that is an infected sebaceous cyst or epidermal inclusion cyst! And, also, there might be some super-added fungal infections too! Recurrent folliculitis is also possibly there... As per your description, it is grossly infected and moist; therefore try to keep the area Chat Doctor. If you are still worried, get some cytological or fungal scrapping test or microscopic examination for confirmation and apply local clotrimazole/clobetasol/gentamicin creams for 1 month or revert to us. Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries. Wishing you the best health!

jst took 3rd echo ejection fraction went down to 25 last one i took 2 years ago improved to 45 and the first one i took 5 years ago was 15 almost dead doctors put in defribulator felt much better. I have had allot of stress this past year my son getting divorce my husband i think as he gets older is getting mean and yells at me all the time and im still working full time. i have 6 beautiful grandchildren i love them so much i want to live longer and be at there graduations from college and at there weddings most of all i just want to be here as their good friend so they have someone they can trust and someone that can validate them. Can you tell me what do i have to do to get better and improve ejection fraction. Like vitamins exercise should i retire from work help me please.
Hi, Welcome. Decrease in ejection fraction from 45% to 25% suggests some event in the heart which has caused heart function to decline. I suggest you to get a one blood tests done like Troponin I, CPU & COMB. If they are negative than go for a stress echo to rule out any blockage in arteries of heart. The cause for decrease in heart function is important for treatment. Till than continue your medications & keep fluid restricted to 1.5ltr/ day. Thanks

I experience lots of pain in the back of my knee and it gets worst as soon as I bend it. I had about 2 years with it but my MD. can t figure it out. Lately I even got some fluid out on the left side of my left knee. I bet everything is related. I got the fluid extracted and got an inyection, but I am back with even more pain behind my knee. What is it?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of osteoarthritis knee. Often called wear-and-tear arthritis, osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears down over time. Osteoarthritis treatments can slow the progression of the disease, relieve pain and improve joint function. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedic for detailed examination. You may get the X-ray/MRI, some blood tests and joint fluid analysis under his/her guidance to reach the accurate diagnosis. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

dr.amir : i m A RADIOLOGLOGIST doctor 37 years old ,my wife 23 years old. i m heavy smoker. i got married 6 month ago a despite nonstop tries ,my wife cann t get pregnant. personally i think that it is due to excess of radiation -BECAUSE once i was exposed to direct radiation of small pelvis for some 2 minutes. and second thing is that i examined many patients without using the lab-coat/which protects gonads and thyroid against secondary radiation/. i decided to go for analysis of sperm /i m too scared because i can predict the results/what is your oponion?
HelloThanks for query. You are Radiologist by profession married since six months and unable to impregnate your wife. There are two possible reasons for not conceiving 1) Excessive smoking 2) Frequent exposure to radiation at your work place You need to use marker to estimate the amount of radiation exposure that you are subjected to every day. Doing a semen analysis will help to know the details about sperm count.sperm motility and other parameters of semen and reasons for not conceiving to take necessary treatment if required.

My son is 8 months old and he is teething. I have found him sucking on his bottom lip alot and now he has what looks like white sores on his lips and tip of tounge. It doesn t seem to bother him and he doesn t have a fever. Should I be concerned?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per query your son have symptoms of white sores on lips and tongue which seems to be normal during teething. Sometimes it is due to fungal infection and poor oral hygiene. Although they can be uncomfortable, avoid touching or pricking them with any sharp object. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine carefully and rule out conditions like scarlet fever, syphilis and traumatic fibrous. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory. For now do warm saline rinses several times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon.

Hi Doctor, I need a suggestion on Allergy.I have got Itchy and burning sensation of Allergy.But i have found out the combination of causes. I have got allergy reaction so far 2 times.But they are having few common reasons.I had allergy when i had the below things.1) had Constipation or gastric trouble2) had Brinjal in Lunch3) had Tender Coconut Water4) after that i had PAD - D tabletI am confused which is the exact reason for my allergy.I have planned to avoid the Brinjal in my food.But i felt fine having Tender Coconut water earlier but not with the above combinations.(i mean i had Tender Coconut water alone not with brinjal and Pan - d).I request you to provide the advise on this.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The condition can be urticaria. It can be due to allergen in food or inhaled allergen. Foods like peanut, eggs, brinjal, tomato other seed containing vegetables, bakery and fermented products can commonly cause allergy.

I have lightheadedness and a balance problem - my head feels like a hangover and when I walk I feel like I am walking lop sided but actually walking in a straight line. I have had all sorts of tests and nothing shows - right now I am on a high dosage of vitamin D2 and a light dose of B6 - I am at my wits end - keep going to drs to no avail. Any thoughts please! Thanks, Jane! I didn t realize there would be a charge, my funds are limited, so I ll pass
Dear Jane, The queries asked in this forum are answered free of cost. Please feel free to ask your questions. The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
