ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a mild pain on my scortum whicChatDoctore when i walk for the long or stand in a place for long time nad spread over my hip and leg. All these pain on the right side. Lemme know the reason of this. I have this problem last 4 years. I have consulted a doctor and he adviced me to go for ultrasound and he said everything is perfect. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Pain on the right scrotum in itself needs investigation. You consulted a doctor, and he conducted an ultrasound and said everything is alright and there is nothing worry. I hope the ultrasound was conducted within the last one year. Otherwise, please do the ultrasound once again. Secondly another reason for the pain could be simple obsession with the pain. Anxiety and depression can be the reason for the obsession. Stress and strain of the muscles could have been the reason, and you mistook as any serious disease and obsessed. Such an obsession could become psychosomatic and can manifest as pain. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I am 23 years old male. I have a short and curved penis. My penis full erection state is 12 to 13 cm, 4.7 to 5.1 inches, and the curvature is towards the left side. I went to a local sex clinic, and he suggested me an unbranded ayurvedic tablet. Is it safe to take tablets for penis enlargement and to cure penis curvature? Or Is there any other way to increase my penis length and to cure the bend? I used to masturbate before. But I stopped it now because of my small penis. I am losing my confidence level on everything. Please, suggest me a permanent solution for penis enlargement and curvature. | Hi. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). First of all, there is no medicine to increase the size of the penis. It is not a muscle. Medications are available to treat erectile dysfunction and other problems. The size of the penis after erection should be between 4 to 6 inches, and the extent you have mentioned falls under the standard category. So there is no need to worry about the size. Your next concern is about curvature. The mild curvature is not a big problem. It can be present in many people. I cannot tell you exactly about it. So for that, you can visit a nearby urologist or a reputed ayurveda physician or any general physician so that he can examine you clinically and guide you appropriately. Do not take any random medicine in the name of ayurvedic medicine. You are almost normal except about one concern, so for that visit your physician. There is no need to lose confidence without any reason. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online |

Now 54, never been to an endocrinologist, have an intense, aching pain in adrenal area. have had hematuria, stopped when drank more clear water. Could I have something serious? 4,5,6 or 7 fractures in back as well! Thank you. | Hello. Thank you for writing us here. Hematuria is commonly seen in case of kidney stones. You might have taken calcium supplements for the fractures, isn't it? Most likely your kidneys tried to excrete the excess of calcium which ultimately got deposited and causes pain in the lower back/ kidney area and also in the flank region. I would suggest you to have an ultrasound done for the diagnosis and also Chat Doctor. I won't suggest any medication for now as it would require special investigations to be done. You just need to |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I hope so my son had a colonoscopy last week where the go doctor found 4 ulcers he is on warfarin cuz of blood clots also he had cancer of the colon wher most of colon was removed Today he was going to the bathroom and he is getting long string type blood stool out should I take him to the emergency room or could we wait until Monday when he sees his doctor | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your son was on warfarin chances of altered coagulation profile are high as a cause of bloody stool. But at the same time we need to rule out recurrence of malignancy as he is having ulcers too. So you should definitely take him to the ER. Stop warfarin immediately. Get done PT (Prothrombin Time) to see for any alteration in coagulation profile. Also get done colonoscopy to rule out recurrence of colon cancer. If PT is altered than he needs it k injection to stop the bleeding. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My father was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer. He has been receiving radiation and chemo to try and shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. Among other issues he just recently in the last three days started with a milky white discharge and a horrific foul smell. Is this common? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, this is not common. Foul smelling discharge in rectal cancer patient suggest infection at tumor site. Chemotherapy makes patient immunocompromised. So chances of infection are high in these patients. Radiotherapy weakens local defense system. So both these make patient prone to infection. So better to get done culture and sensitivity report of discharge. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide you better about effective antibiotic treatment. He needs antibiotics. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | After I started having sexual intercourse with my current partner, I was diagnosed with a yeast infection, which I took antibiotics for. About two weeks after I took the antibiotics, I got a brownish-clear fishy-smelling dishcharge (the discolored discharge was a one-time thing, but the smell continued). I went to the doctor, who told me nothing was wrong so I took a medication I got from sprouts for balancing of yeast bodies and bacteria. It seemed to clear up. Then, about two months later, I got the coppery-clear discharge again (just once with a strange odor). This went away. I went to the doctor again for a UTI, again, she told me I did not have one. This discharge and smell reapearred two weeks later, and again another week later. The odor is only present with the discharge (which only happens once at a time). Also, I dont know if this is relevant. . . sometimes sex is painful (usually only at the beginning, but their have been two times where it was throughout and I experienced burning with urination. . . but only after intercourse. The doctor is not at all helpful and has suggested nothing but more visits. Do you have any idea what this might be? | Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Symptoms of experiencing recurrent yeast infection may be due to poor hygiene or due to transmission by asymptomatic partner during sex. If the infection recurs again and again, the following things need to be done: 1. Maintenance therapy like a regimen of oral fluconazole tablets once a week for six months or clotrimazole as a vaginal suppository used once a week for six months can be used, along with a course of metronidazole.2. Treating partner too if the partner has symptoms needs to be treated. Other measures which needs to be taken care are the following: 1. Wash the area with warm water and mild antiseptic twice daily until the symptoms subsides. 2. Abstain from sexual activity till your symptoms subside completely. 3. After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid spreading yeast or bacteria from anus to the vagina or urinary tract. 4. Wear loose fitting cotton undergarments that helps keep your genital area Chat Doctor. 5. Change pads or tampons often during periods. 6. Use vaginal antifungal medicines which are available for 1-day, 3-day, and longer courses, depending on the strength of the medicine. 7. Along with it, she can use vaginal boric acid capsules, which are available over-the-counter. Do not use this medication if you are pregnant. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. |

Please help | Hi, If your rash is on sun exposed areas along with fever and joint pain, you could be having an autoimmune disease called Lupus erythematous. It is common in females, and it should be ruled out by doing anti-nuclear antibody testing. Viral infection can also present with similar features. So, I advise you to consult your Dermatologist/Rheumatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

He said my heart was perfect and even did an EKG but that was 3 or 4 years ago. | Mostly the symptoms you describe are an attribute to your anxious nature, with exercise or any exertion the pulse of even normal human beings increase, now if you anticipate it you may feel it as the flutter in your chest wall. Trying to divert your mind away will help. However, if symptoms persist, get an EKG done at the time of symptoms, or if that's not feasible a 24 hour holder if the symptoms happens at least once daily Regards |

So much that my husband and i can t cuddle while i sleep. I never had this before i started taking the Lamictal. Is there a conflict with any of the meds? What can be done, if anything. | Hi. I understand your concern. It may be associated with lamotrigin(capital). To avoid this it is necessary to start with low dose and gradually increase the dose of capital. If it is occurred frequently then consult your psychiatrist and discuss with them. It can be prevented also with increase the dose of Xanax. Routine investigations are also advisable including serum calcium to rule out metabolic and nutritional causes of twitching. So consult and get help. I hope I have answered your query. Thank you. |

The treatment for DUE is a bit tough as not many medications work for it. Plaquenil is the Chat Doctor. If you only have butterfly rash and no rashes elsewhere, you can take a course of oral steroids along with topical creams like tacrolismus(after prescription from your rheumatologist). I won't recommend topical steroids for the face as it can cause skin atrophy on that site. Also, the dose of MTX is quite low. It starts being effective from 15 mg. It can help in the skin problems due to SHE. Avoid going in the sun and if you have to use a good sunscreen with Protective Factor of at least 50. Only having rash is not too serious, so you don't need very strong medications for it. Hope the information was useful. |

Im worried because on the first day i got it i couldnt pee,poop,cough light with out it being so painful im scareddd! | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Looks like you have got a hematoma (blood clot) following the bump. It occurs when there is an injury to a vessel following trauma, leading to collection of blood in the region. It will get absorbed slowly but will take a few weeks in this process. You may take painkillers for your pain. But keep a watch over the swelling, and on case it becomes more painful or red you will need to get it removed, as that means that it has got infected. Hope I have been helpful. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a molar tooth removed 11 weeks ago and I have continued in pain. There was an amalgam fragment left in the socket from an apioceptamy but the surgeon was not concerned by this. I now have a soft purple lump like a blister in the middle of the extraction site. Could this be infection? | Hi. Thanks for the query.First if amalgam is left in the extraction socket then it will act as a foreign body and will cause foreign body reaction leading to inflammation, pain and swelling. The purple lump can be due to Amalgam tattoo formation that is discoloration of the mucosa caused due to contact of the amalgam with soft tissues. So first consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and get an x-ray of the extraction site done. The extraction socket should be opened and amalgam particles should be removed. It will be followed by irrigation of the extraction socket with antiseptic solution and a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers will be advised. As of now take Ibuprofen and do warm saline gargles. Hope this helps. Regards. |

Today ate mandarin, did not think, now not able to swallow anything, even water is coming back up.Will it slowly clear? Is there anything I can take to try to shift this blockage? | The block in your esophagus is probably due to the tumor growing back again, since it has never been completely cured. The best option in such a case is to get an esophageal stent placed. This is a simply done procedure, done on OLD basis without admission, through an endoscope. It will clear the passage and improve the lumen, allowing you to eat food normally. The only flip side is that it has a limited time period after which it gets blocked again by the tumor. Normally it lasts from 6-12 months. |

The finger seemed to heal together. However, for the last 10 days, no additional healing or changes seem to have occurred. The finger appears mostly together, but the area that was sliced is inflamed and sensitive to the touch and does not seem to be improving any longer. Though the appearance is a bit inflamed (swollen/red), I am mainly concerned about the nerves which sting or hurt a little when the finger touches things on this spot. I would like to understand more about the nerve damage or issues that could be permanent with this injury. | Hi. I went through the files (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You seem to really have a bad wound. But you need not worry too much about the nerve damage in this part of your body as this area is naturally rich in blood and nerve supply. Though healing may take some time and area may remain sensitive to heat, cold, and touch but all will be fine within next two to three weeks as natural regeneration may take some time. The present condition of your wound looks satisfactory. And for the swelling, you need to do pressure bandage for few days or it will heal with time. Just apply Voltral gel (Diclofenac) and swelling will be better soon. For more information consult a dermatologist online Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Yes, I have been having some watery red spotting after I wipe when I go pee pee. I have been the the doctor three times and I gave them a urine specimen. The first time, doctor diagnosed me with a UTI, but wasnt sure if it could also be a yeast infection. So, she prescribed Bacterim for 5 days but it gave me diahhrea so Dr. changed it to Cipro, which worked fine. She also gave me a one time pill to take for the yeast infection after finishing the Cipro. I took all my medication. During treatment, I saw a little spotting of watered down blood after wiping my pee pee. Dr. took another urine exam. Said I never had UTI but that I definitely had a yeast infection. I finished all my meds so I waited to see if I would be okay and it seemed as though I was. Yesterday, when I went pee pee, I wiped and saw some more watered down red spots on the tissue. I returned to the Dr. today who ordered a urinalysis. He is having me worked up for bladder or kidney cancer just as a precaution. Still dont know what is causing the sporadic blood spots. Pls. advise. | HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, you gave your history in detail but the important things you missed here, your age and gender which is extremely required in your case, just think it about you are asking a medical person without saying anything, who you are Male or Female what the age, how I would be able to advise you, on other hand your complaint is dam related with your age and gender, next time take care, bye |

Had sex on sept 1st and I took postinor 2 almost immediately, took d second tablet after 12hrs. I started seeing brown discharge on 23rd sept as if my period is ending. Is this normal? | Hiii, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Your LMP was 19th Aug and you did sex on 1st Sept just prior to ovulation or within fertile zone. You took posting 2 immediately and second tab after 12 hrs. As you end your period 2Β days ago, there is no chance of pregnancy and Posting 2 is quite effective contraceptive method with success rate 98-99%. You get brown discharge after period over due to old endometrial tissue and is quite normal. So need not be much worried about this and practice safe sex in the future. Be well. |

I also should tell you that in 2000 I had a very large cone biopsy done due to abnormal cells from HPV. I have recently discovered a perianal high fistula which is extremely painful and itchy. My gyno did a punch biopsy of it last Friday and am currently waiting the results. I am seeing the gyno due to a large calcified cyst inside my right ovary and am waiting for a radical hysterectomy. Should I be worried the fistula is a symptom of cancer from the HPV? and what kind of over the counter cream can I use in the meanwhile? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The usual causes for perianal itching is a fungal infection or a parasite called entertains vernaculars (Pin worm). In pin worm the itching is mainly at night and if you inspect your motion or the perianal region you might see the worm. The fungal lesion can also be diagnosed by a KOH preparation, which can be done at most labs. Check your blood sugar if it has not checked recently, as diabetes makes one prone to fungal infections. If you are unable to meet a doctor, for the symptoms you can try with Albendazole tablet and canes ten cream locally.Thank you. |

You explain that pneumonia is in the beginning, if yes Klaritromic is the proper treatment. Prednisolone in see is a cortisone medication. It helps in chronic ear infection and in pneumonia too lowering the swelling of the airways. As a result the cough will be better and the ear infection too.

This accompanied by my constant back pain, which Ive have for about a week and a half, and the contant pressure I have against my pubic bone, is causing me concern.

This began 3 hours ago and has gradually become more severe. The spasms are currently occurring about every 20-30 seconds. The pain just came on. No physical jarring or turning etc. | Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. There are many causes of a shooting pain in the back of the head. Commonly a neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve can cause such a condition. It has branches which supplies the back of the head. This can trigger sharp pains to the area. However, a clinical examination is required to confirm the condition. Other causes of such pains can be from nerve pinching in the cervical spine. The nerves leave the spinal cord through small foramina and if there is cervical spine disc disease then the nerves are under pressure and can cause a sensation of sharp pain in the back of the head and neck regions. Pain below the ear can also happen due to inflammation of blood vessels called arthritis, usually temporal arthritis is a common cause of pain on the side of head and around the ear. Please consult a neurologist for confirmation. Please do not worry. |

After doing research I came across psychomotor agitation and I wanted to get a professional opinion and possible treatment options if it does turn out to be psychomotor agitation. Thank you for your time! | I appreciate your concern and asking on Chat Doctor. Based on your history I would suggest the following:1. I constantly bite my nail cuticles is an expression of anxiety and one of the neurotic traits. It is not psychomotor agitation.2. I pace (and often run) up and down the hallway at my house-- is it because you feel restless and particularly restlessness in legs, and it improves on pacing? If yes it may be anesthesia due to side effects of Zoloft. Some people have this side effect, and it can be controlled. If not it can be again due to anxiety.3.

This kind of injuries mostly cause musculoskeletal pain. But when severe, they can cause lung injury like pulmonary contusion, pneumothorax etc. And they can cause breathlessness. So better to get done chest x-ray to rule out lung injury. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about major lung complications. Simple musculoskeletal pain is the cause for your symptoms.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a bad case of flat feet. Constant burning feeling in my arches although my left foot is worse. Last night, a spot of my arch felt bruised on the inside. This morning not only is it internally bruised but there is a red mark over the spot and the skin stings a little. | Hello, With history, I understand that the Flat foot issue is from a long time. The first thing you should do it to change the footwear. Insert the medial arch which is widely available nowadays in the form of silicone material. Using that can help avoid any excessive pressure over the arch and also will help you avoid bruises. Now post the use of the medial arch there may be chances you will have pain in the feet and leg muscles like the calf. But that is common. Proper retraining of those muscle groups under a guided physiotherapist should help. As due to flat feet you may have developed a new adjustment of movements based on requirements. So a physiotherapist will be of good choice for prescribed desired exercise. Rest assured. You may not be able to completely get rid of flat feet so soon but at least will avoid future damage to the tissues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Yesterday, I had a really bad stomach ache after I ate dinner.. Then I felt like I wanted to throw up, so I just crouched down and held my stomach to help lessen the pain. When I got up, everything became dark and black.... And all the sounds around me became muffled. :( since it was loud at the restaurant, I stepped outside.. When I got outside, my vision and hearing got better.. I also pooped when I got back to my apartment. After I was done, my stomach was okay again. Then this morning, I started to have cramps which turned into a stomach ache. Whats wrong with me?Im 20 years old, female, and healthy. | Hi ! Probably you had a food poisoning with your dinner. This gives rise to vomiting and abdominal cramps associated with loose motions. The act of vomiting causes a Valhalla maneuver which results in muffled or imagined hearing in your ear. Post vomiting when you got up suddenly, the blood circulation could not cope with the sudden change in posture and due to vasodilation, blood supply to brain became less which resulted in a transient black out. You should start taking some appropriate antibiotic on consultation with your family physician and properly HY Chat Doctor. Take care. |

I have been putting triderm ointment on the reddened area.. is it safe... its painful... i covered it up with gauze so it would not rub on my shirt...it s a relief but is it ok to cover it up? | Hi, Triderm is a steroid cream, and it could increase the size boil if it is infectious, so I would advise you to discontinue it. If the boil is present for a longtime and is causing pain and itching please see a gynecologist, and she will examine you and decide the nature of it. Certain skin conditions are more common in pregnancy and these need to be identified by a doctor before treatment. Triderm is not contraindicated in pregnancy, but should be used with caution and the skin where it is applied should not be covered by anything as this can increase the absorption the Chat Doctor. Do not use it without a doctor advise. Hope this helps. Regards. |

OTHER DETAILS- GLEASON S GRADING : - PREDOMINANT TUMOR PATTERN-3/5 NEXT MOST COMMON PATTERN 2/5 PSA : 38% Regards, K.K.Sehgal | You have not mentioned the report of the bone scan as that will determine whether the treatment offered to you is correct. If the bone scan is normal, then you have been offered the correct treatment, although there is another option which we, at our center have found to have better results. In this, we first give hormone therapy in the form of a surgery called bilateral orchidectomy (removal of both testis) and then follow it up with RT. If the bone scan is not normal, which means that the cancer has spread to the bones, then there is no role for radiation therapy, and he should be treated only with hormone therapy. |

Following are other cause of delayed period and your symptoms:- Menopause is not occurred at age of 29. Hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, adenomyosis, thyroid dysfunction, ovarian dysfunction. - If period will not occur in next 7 days then I would suggest undergoing reproductive and thyroid hormone analysis, USG scan, ovarian follicle study by consulting gynecologist to confirm cause.

It does not have to be physical activity to bring this on. It happend one morning after he got out of the shower. Also one day driving home from a fishing trip. He is not worring about anything that he is aware of. Any ideas of what this could be, or could something be bringing on a panic attack. Thanks for your help and answer. He is 49 years old. weight 206 height 5 10 . no medical problems. | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms could be related to different possible causes: - a chronic infection or inflammation- anxiety - a thyroid dysfunction. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes: -a chest X-ray study-a resting ECG-thyroid hormone levels-complete blood count- PCR, ESR for inflammation- fasting glucose for diabetes-kidney and liver function tests-blood electrolytes. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues. Meanwhile, I would recommend you to measure his blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature during those episodes.

When taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex, an ECP (emergency contraceptive pill) is more than 95 % effective in preventing a pregnancy. So you are reasonably protected against pregnancy. There is no point in repeating the ECP again. For 120 hours, there is no logic in repeating the dose. The earlier pill keeps you covered and further dosing (you have already taken 2) will reduce the efficacy. The pregnancy test should be taken 4 weeks after the encounter of unprotected sex, not earlier. Only then would it give a conclusive result. Repeated, random, casual and frequent use of ECP will mess up the normal menstrual cycle. It can advance or postpone your periods indefinitely, and there would be unpredictable with Chat Doctor. Also, the efficacy is lost with repeated usage. Always make sure to have protected sex. All the best. Take care. |

Since you are trying for conception from 6 myths I would suggest you to go for GUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. Here sperms are washed and processed, and healthy sperms are placed in uterus. Since sperms are placed directly into uterus problem of spillage of semen is avoided. And it is made sure sperms reach uterus. For this you are advice to take ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. This helps multiple follicles to mature and rupture. Thus increasing chances of pregnancy. You may try 4 to 6 cycles of GUI before proceeding further. Hope I have been helpful. Regards |

I have tried aleve and ice but the pain doesn t subside. | Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I think you are suffering from arthritis of hip joint. Second possibility is acute disc prolapse in my mind. Empirical treatment is rest in position of relief, neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeprazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics .MRI of hip and lumbar spine may be done to make final diagnosis. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Please can you help me. i would go to the doctors but feel very embarrassed. | Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although a physical/clinical examination is required to diagnose your problem, the history you have narrated points more towards a perianal abscess, either a primary one, or due to the closure of the external opening of a fistula in ANO. Apart from this, the hemorrhoids could get prolapsed and strangulated resulting in a painful swelling in the perianal region. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine blood check up including a blood sugar, and refer you to a general surgeon for a clinical evaluation and further management.

I has a routine d&c for what they thought was a polyp and turned out to be nothing. During the procedure my heart rate went down to 30 and they gave me robinal.

I hadnt taken propanolol since the night in hospital and began to experience pounding heart rate headache shakiness and over all terrible. Cardiologist said it was beta blocker withdrawal. They put me on half dose, back on flecanide,off protocol, and did stress echo and 24 hr halter and said it may have been vago vasel related. I went back to the gun for post op f/u and c/o lower and cramps. Found to have vaginal infection, on abs now. What bothers me is that I am still having these strange lightheaded moments and I dont know why. Everything seems to check out ok. It is not like fainting or dizziness. My pulse and bp is ok except that my pulse does get somewhat faint during it. Sometimes I get a cold feeling on the side of my head with and lingering after it.

Do you get only back pain or there is pain in your legs too? If you have only back pain it is mostly due to muscle spasm.

If you are talking about a thrombus (blood clot) formation inside the blood vessel which has moved to the lungs (embolism), then the chances are very rare. Usually thrombus occurs in surgeries in long post-operative immobilization or prolonged bed rest. Even if it has occurred it usually dissolves over days. If the thrombus were to have been big, it would have caused obstruction symptoms resulting in difficulty in breathing. Your complaint of blood clot to the cardiologist must have made them to suggest and echo and MRI. However, if you want to get it done, it is done by a radiologist in most of developed scan centers. You can make an appointment and meet. I would usually suggest to wait and watch as the possibility of blood clot in lungs is low, if you do not have any breathlessness. Hope I have answered your query. If you want to ask any further questions, will be happy to help again. |

Today I look in the mirror and saw that the gums around that tooth are full of white little patches and is still hurting I clean the area with cotton and I was left with all this small blood red looking wholes. What can I do? | Hello, I tell my patients that if you can keep your wisdom teeth clean and if they function as a pair, they should not be extracted. You describe an area that is constantly difficult to clean and now is infected. Continue to clean the area and rinse vigorously with warm salt water. Remove any debris from around the tooth. Interdental cleaners and a water pic may be helpful to flush the area successfully. It will not feel better immediately. Use a chlorhexdine gluconate or a Betadine rinse if available. Take anti-inflammatory medication such as Motrin or Tylenol. If swelling increases, you will need to have your dentist curettage the area under local anesthesia and take a prescribed antibiotic. This may reoccur and become a chronic condition best treated with an extraction. If the tissue does not improve, your dentist may need to prescribe medication and determine if the condition is due to a fungal, bacterial or viral condition. Did you bite the gum area while numb after the filling was completed? Is any of the filling missing? Deep fillings can be sensitive or need evaluation for an abscess by your dentist. I recommend a return visit to check for these conditions. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope that you feel better soon |

Still have to urinate about once an hour(before TURP it was every half hour) and flow is weak. Also, very little urine comes out and I find myself pushing to get the last drops out. Most of the time I feel that I emptied out after urinating but sometimes during the day I have the discomfort associated with not feeling empty. I sleep almost all night without having to go during the night but that was true before the surgery as well. Actually, I was doing better a month ago than now and that is my major concern. Is this all the normal recovery process and can I expect for things to improve as time goes on, or after 3 months should I be in a better place? Should I wait before returning to my urologist? In general I would say that the improvement since TURP is only marginal. Thanks | HelloThanks for query. You have difficulty in passing urine and frequency for urination even after three months of TURN surgery for enlarged prostate. This could be either narrowing of urethral passage (Stricture Urethra) which is common after TURN or second possibility of persistent UTI. Please get your routine Urine test and urine culture done to rule out infection. Visit your Urologist and discuss with him regarding doing endoscopic examination of urethra and bladder (Cystoscopy) . If needed he may do endoscopic dilatation of urethral passage (VIA)during the same sitting. This will resolve your problem. Chat Doctor. |

Once your period become regular chance of pregnancy is high. You are on correct treatment. Come, Phaeton and Comet will help you to become pregnant. Clonidine citrate: increase maturation of follicle and ovulation by increasing FSH & LH. Dupahston should be taken in second half of period to regularize luteal phase abnormality. It helps in implantation and pregnancy. Glycomet: again induce ovulation and decrease insulin resistance. You should take above medicine under advise of gynecologist and monitored by USG scan and ovarian follicle study. If Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my 9 years old son is presently affected by juvenile asthma, when spring comes he developes cough and has difficulty in breathing. A pediatrician gave him Ipravent and Asthalin to be used with a neebulizer, two years ago. As in the area we live pediatrician is not available every day of the week, I would like to ask if it is safe to give either one or both of these medications, until we can actually visit a pediatrician. Also I need to know the dosage. Thanking you very much, Gabriele Piscicelli, Shuru, Kullu Distt, H.P. India | Hello, Thank you for asking to Chat Doctor. Asthalin & prevent via nebulizer are usually safe for a child of 9 years age, unless over dosage. The exact dosing depends on severity of your children current symptoms. I would suggest preferring Stalin over Prevent if you want to use any one of them. Don't use Prevent for more than 3 times a day and for more than 3 days. You can use Stalin when your child has wheezing or difficulty in breathing. But if you need to use it more than 4-6 times a day, it means he may be having a serious exacerbation. I would suggest you to start Montelukast tablet daily as he is having seasonal symptoms, possibility of allergy is there. Also, avoid cold fluids & exposure to smoke/dust. Please consult pediatrician as early as possible. I hope this helps. Wish your son the best of the health. Regards. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,We are trying for a baby for three months. I have been facing a couple of issues. I feel the symptoms of periods within 18 to 20 days of my previous cycle. My regular cycle was between 25 to 28 days before. I was taking Folvite (Folic acid tablet) but started using iron tablets for two months. Please let me know what could be the cause? Or is this normal? | Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctor. The feeling of symptoms like periods but not actually having bleeding could be due to ovulation pain, what is called in medical terms is Mittelschmerz\s pain. If your cycles are ovulatory, all the more good. Try for conception in the middle of your cycle days, say in 25-28 day cycle 8-18 days. Do not worry if three months are gone. Give a fair trial for six months before undergoing any investigations. Folic acid to continue till you conceive. It will prevent neural tube defects in the baby. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I stepped on a broken beer bottle in the lake 24 hours ago. It was a large very pointy piece that entered the ball of my foot. It feels very deep and is extremely painful still. I am not able to put any pressure on my foot not even to wrap it. It is red around the wond and white right at the wond opening. Do I need to go to the er so it doesnt get infected due to the lake water and since my primary doctor isnt open till monday? | Go to the ER to undergo a wound debridement if needed and wrapping. Antibiotics as amoxi-clav (if you are not allergic) or doxycycline, adding metronidazole covering (for clostridium derringers/retain) are mandatory. ER doctors will decide if giving to you them orally or through intravenous/intramuscular injection. If you didn't receive an antigenic vaccine, ask for antigenic immunoglobulins, that are fundamental. |
