lot then you may request low dose antiarrhythmics like amiodarone for a short period of time but they may again come back after the drug is stopped since there is no atrial fibrillation or set supraventricular tachycardia antiarrhythmics are absolutely necessary but the benefit would be in you is just symptomatic which comes with the risk of side effects however you should have hotter at regular intervals like yearly with echo for aortic regurgitation or if you notice sustained ectopic or irregular rhythm implying development of fibrillation you may discuss changing atenolol to others like metoprolol and see if its help you should try to identify triggers like sleep or gastric disturbances alcohol or smoking if any particular medications which you are on stress etc also if not had

have no symptoms knowing that I have health problems and have asthma so we went to a doctor who prescribed diarrhea medication since the fever has dropped and it does not exceed 37 so he continues to take paracetamol but for the past week he has been suffering from abdominal pain more precisely below the navel so we went back to see the same doctor two days ago who gave him an ultrasound that showed nothing abnormal he diagnosed a colopathy but I have the impression that this diagnosis is wrong he started this treatment that same day but until today there is no improvement he still suffers from abdominal pain especially after going to the bathroom and fever although low maximum 37 got as high as 38 tonight no more diarrhea but little constipation what do you recommend that I do could it be something serious knowing that the ultrasound showed nothing abnormal please help", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I feel very sorry to hear about your husband and very rightly understand your concern and temptation for his unresolving symptoms you are perfectly right that if treatment were given rightly he should have shown some improvement but unfortunately he did until now so considering all the information you provided to me there are few possibilities first of all is typhoid fever which is a bacterial infection the second is intestinal amebiasis which is a parasitic infection typhoid seems to be likely possibly given his almost 10 days of fever and in second week he started to develop abdominal pain which is suggestive of typhoid ulcers in small bowel I would suggest him an antibiotic course for at least 10 days and a maximum of 14 days which would cover both potential bugs I also want that you get him some blood and stool tests before starting antibiotic course the antibiotic course is relatively safe I also want that you closely examine his chest for the development of rose spots they are very small pinkish marks which develop among patient over the chest in the second week of the illness do not worry they are harmless it is just a manifestation I really hope his symptoms will improve like a fever would start settle and abdominal pain should resolve in the next 48 to 72 hours of the start of the antibiotic regimen I would also want to know the assessment prescription of a previous doctor who said about colopathy the colopathy is a very broad and vague term which means colon large bowel inflammation it has a number of causes the one is painkillers nsaids and recently couid 19 has shows some case reports with colopathy but if your family and he himself does not have any contact history to couid 19 positive or suspected case then the possibility is very rare ultrasound is not a sensitive investigation for the disease which involves the bowel lumen such as in your husband case ultrasound is more helpful in disease involving liver spleen or gall bladder so it is not uncommon to have a normal ultrasound with conditions like typhoid fever or intestinal amebiasis so I am writing him antibiotics for 10 days now if the improvement is shown we would increase up to 14 days I really hope with this course his symptoms will start settling in the next 48 to 72 hours and lastly get some blood and stool tests as I suggest her and discuss the reports once they are available typhoid fever intestinal amebiasis difficile infection colopathy complete blood count blood culture and sensitivity before starting antibiotic course ha titer for histolytica stool detail report and ova parasites stool for fecal calprotectin stool for difficile infection

male pattern hair loss this is a very common condition and there are many factors responsible one of them being genetic if you have other family members with similar patterned hair loss the chances for you to develop it increase too due to the effect of the male hormone on the hair cycle over a period of time the hair follicle starts shrinking and so the hair which comes out is thinner and more fragile and breaks easily also the growing phase of the hair is shortened so your hair does not grow as long it used to and becomes shorter and wispier being just 17 years old I am sure it must be worrying you a lot but do not be disheartened there are several treatment options available and the sooner we start the treatment the better the chances of reducing further hair loss thinning and increasing regrowth a combination of oral supplements to boost hair growth along with application of lotions containing minoxidil to begin with will be the best course of action in my opinion oral finasteride which is the male hormone blocker is used frequently applications with finasteride are available too this will be prescribed by your treating doctor after assessing the extent of thinning and discussing the side effects etc several preparations of bio peptides and other natural ingredients like saw palmetto extract melatonin etc are also available to boost the hair growth pop platelet rich plasma is a popular procedure which is often used in combination with medical treatment to stimulate hair growth further usually a combination of treatments is suggested after the clinical evaluation but using the applications regularly is the key to good results hair regrowth takes a few months to show and you will have to be patient to see the benefit of the treatment I hope this

I may not be able to give you a composite plan of action for your weight reduction since it is not basically a one day consultation task in fact it is a long term commitment towards yourself and towards a multidisciplinary team inclusive of a dietician bariatric endoscopist gastroenterologist behavioral therapist and lastly a bariatric surgeon so I would give you facts and figures for the existing evidence of weight reduction therapies remember your current body mass index mi is 34 the goal of any weight reduction treatment is to reduce weight to optimal ranges where the physical and psychological well being of a person is maintained now anybody whose body mass index mi is more than 40 should straight away consider bariatric intervention in the form of endoscopic or surgical morality and anybody whose mi is 35 but having other conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes coronary artery disease heart disease or lung dysfunction lung hypertension and sleep disorders should undergo interventions but you see not all person fit into above category many have mi less than 35 such as in your case and having very troubling symptoms among such people individualized approach is employed whether medicinal use or endoscopic or surgical intervention diets and regular weight reduction exercises do help to reduce weight by to 10 all medicines which are currently in use help reduce weight by 10 to 20 certain endoscopic bariatric procedures such as balloon placement in stomach and sleeve gastrectomy does help reduce weight around 25 and lastly surgical procedures such as metallic rings around the stomach via laparoscopy and surgical sleeve gastrectomy and surgical roux bypass help to reduce weight by 30 to 35 the figures are ranges they vary significantly in individual cases I also want you to understand that these interventions should be accompanied with optimal dieting and exercise even after surgery or medicinal therapy otherwise the weight can frequently recur to original ones this above description is only to make you understand and figure out things I can recommend you to start with dieting keeping your calories well below 1500 cal daily running swimming and weight lifting on a regular basis I also suggest you to meet a dietician on icliniq or otherwise in person to get a diet plan with respect to your calorie requirement I can

melatonin could possibly lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills my understanding is that there is little to no peer reviewed scientific studies to support this claim but I am still worried as I am sexually active and take my of melatonin each night and I am on the progestin only pill I am looking for a doctor to weigh in on this issue", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I understand your concern here and you are right that there are not many or in fact hardly any articles or peer reviewed papers on melatonin and birth control interactions but I would like to keep it simple for you to understand melatonin is produced during the night to ease the sleep pattern in humans post sunset with maximum levels at am and by morning am the levels found are almost negligible so it is produced by the pineal gland in the dark cycle and metabolized at night by the liver now liver also is known to metabolize the birth control pills be it progesterone only or combinations pills hence if taken together then there is a likelihood of slower metabolism of either compound and thereby prolonged residual effect may be seen on concurrent use of pills and melatonin together the effects could be prolonged sleepiness and also melatonin induced increased progesterone levels in the body causing bloating and noticeable progestogenic side effects however the efficacy or effectiveness of the pill is not compromised but metabolism is delayed as melatonin competes with the pill with the liver so ideally the better way would be to switch the pop in the morning hours and the melatonin pill at night 12 hours apart this would prevent any interference with either action on the body or cause any interaction" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I only have one sexual partner for almost a year however

deep penetration and tenderness on the left side of abdomen these are the sufficient point to evaluate for the possibility of pid pelvic inflammatory disease I guess you do not have any discharge per vaginum may be scanty one more thing is just try to see if you are having this pain from the beginning from the intercourse or started after some time because if it is from the beginning then this may be dyspareunia and not related to pid but if it has developed later then it becomes important that you undergo evaluation for pid you will need an ultrasound of pelvis cop reactive protein or ear erythrocyte sedimentation rate vaginal fluid smear however the vaginal examination will also be helpful to see whether there is any cervical motion tenderness which would give a fair idea about the possibility it is important to rule out pid because it can have consequences later like fertility issues so if we get any clues regarding it then you will need a course of antibiotic treatment I hope

problem with your symptoms with tes you need another scan to be on safe side as the scope for examination to be conclusive I suspect you have epidydimal cysts which are very common and can cause pain etc so if the scan does not show anything other than this I would not worry about it at all I think the rash is completely unrelated to this or any of your urological problems nor the rash or hematospermia is related to old history of chlamydia since you have not had any other urinary symptom I would not worry much about other tests related to urinary tract however I would also recommend sending semen for culture to see any infection in it lastly about prostate cancer virtually unheard in your age finger examination of prostate spa blood test and mri scans of prostate are the screening tests in general but not something I would recommend if tes scan comes back normal and if you are still worried an mri then will be helpful as last resort idiopathic testicular pathology

thyearoid issues sometimes when the large volume of fluid is injected into the tendon sheath and surrounding area due to distension it can cause severe pain and patients do complain of exaggerated

medical history which he has been taking for hypertension prostate and recent use of antibiotics and imodium so typical symptom you mention that whenever he urges to pass urine stools passes by itself which is suggestive of stool incontinence means loss of control stools with his age it is possible that he has weak anal sphincter the anal sphincter is a muscle around the anus which contracts and control the stool output in older age it become weak and lack sustained contraction hence get loosened with every attempt to pass urine which increases abdominal pressure would also lead to evacuation of stools this stool incontinence because of loose sphincter at times perceived as diarrhea however it is not actual diarrhea for diarrhea once has to have stool volume more than 200 my 24 hour and significant change in consistency of stools like watery stools or greenish unformed stools containing food particles if none of these signs which are suggestive of diarrhea I suggest you to stop ofloxacin if given for perceived diarrhea the drug he has been taking for prostate also causes external anal sphincter and hence partly contribute to his stool incontinence I want to know if he is feeling mucus thick jelly like material in stools blood in stools or rectal pain or repeated visits to toilet when nothing comes out this information is important to rule out any inflammatory process beside loose anal sphincter I suggest you few investigation for stool studies which will tell if he has active infection of bowel and if present can be treated with antibiotics then for treatment he can take imodium two tablets thrice daily for two more days excessive use of this medication would cause constipation and can worsen patient discomfort I want you to help him learn pelvic muscle strengthening exercises there are many youtube videos available to learn how to do pelvic floor strengthening exercises while sitting on a common chair lastly biofeedback therapy which is a computerized software which help him to control his anal sphincter while passing urine or otherwise this treatment is offered at physiotherapy department of a hospital avoid excessive fibers and modify liquids to 5 liter maximum intake in a day this would reduce the overall bulk of stools formation in the bowel and hence decreased stool output stop or reduce alcohol intake if taking this also causes diarrhea and loose sphincter controls I hope this helps stool incontinence secondary to age with loose sphincter plus drug side effect digital rectal examination performed by gastroenterologist

has lazy neck control at months of age he suffered from torticollis which we have managed to minimize by exercises recommended by other pediatrics he also has digestion problems since birth and has

clip of you singing though a better method would be a copy of your voice box however I am guessing there are breaks or voice gaps in certain parts when you hit a high note this is common among male singers the issue here is that your voice box has vocal cords that vibrate when you sing the slightest inflammation or irregularity in these vocal cords can produce noticeable changes in a singers voice the problem here is that the slightest change in the singing voice makes the singer more anxious and he tends to practice harder doctors typically prescribe steroids but that will not help unless you give your voice a rest give the vocal cords enough time to heal there is a lot more I would like to say but I will try and summarize my advice for you total voice rest for days no speaking

posterior pillars these are two walls in between which the tonsils reside unless and until the tonsils are inflamed and the child is symptomatic we do not need to give any sort of antibiotics as it is not indicated at the same point of time enlarged tonsil indicates possible previous episodes of recurrent tonsillitis as a result of which the tonsillar tissues get hypertrophied and attains a larger size it is always better to maintain strict oral hygiene do saltwater gargles five to six times a day at regular intervals avoid anything cold spicy and oily food beverages maintaining precautionary measures definitely goes a long way in preventing recurrent sore throats or streptococcal infections however in a situation where the child is having recurrent sore throats with associated fever significant leaves from school it is always better to get the tonsils removed there are criteria given by ao hns american association of otorhinolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons who have laid down criteria for a patient to undergo tonsillectomy in nutshell visible blood vessels over the tonsils or related adjacent structures is not a worry as it is very common and seen in health and have not pathology related to it sticking of the uvula to the right tonsil is due to surface tension of the saliva and enlarged size of the tonsil this again has no clinical significance there is absolutely nothing that you need to worry or get stressed about make sure you advise the child to follow the instructions that I have given above to prevent recurrent sore throats in addition she can

walking bicycling and other forms of moderate muscle strengthening exercises just keep in mind that your sugar level must not go down do not reduce your insulin dosage also never skip a meal if you skip a meal you will tend to indulge more calories in the next meal include more protein rich food protein and fiber rich meals will bring early satiety and will easily help build in more muscles than

eggs done before but it has never said that is this of concern", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello your egg is fine and sinus arrhythmia is normal phenomenon where heart range varies with respiration it may not be evident always or depends on sensitivity of machine and also it is more pronounced detectable when one is breathing heavily or rapidly so it is not a matter of worry at all next thing were you also having palpitations when egg was taken or subsided by that time because considering symptoms of palpitations and chest discomfort its important to rule out possibility of cardiac arrhythmias like psvt paroxysmal atrial fibrillation which are intermittent and egg would be absolutely normal at other time so normal egg does not rule out possibility of arrhythmia so you should either have hotter monitoring 24 hour egg monitoring but it would detect arrhythmia only if it happened during this 24 hour period or you can buy simple single lead egg devices which would help to monitor your rhythm whenever you are symptomatic so basically we need an egg rhythm during symptoms so as to reliably rule out possibility of cardiac arrhythmia in a nutshell your egg is fine and may need further

discomfort for a while at first the discomfort was in the flank portion I went to a urologist he gave me muscle relaxers and a few tablets for clearing any small stones the discomfort went away after taking the medication but after some days may be due to sex or workout am not sure the discomfort returned back I went to the doctor again he suggested a it scan it scan results showed a lot of stools in the bowel he said to maintain a healthy diet and add more water and fiber and do some exercises if the problem persists he asked to check with the general practitioner I had an appointment with my family physician who said the discomfort can be due to lack of bowel movements in the colon he asked me to take a fiber supplement metamucil after taking it I had clean bowel movements and I felt I was relieved of late I stopped taking the fiber supplement for a couple of days I started having hard stools again I called up the doctor he said no harm in taking metamucil so I started it again and drinking at least three liters of water I am doing like he said to have clean bowel movements sometimes the discomfort switches sides left or right at times my backache as well I told the doctor and he said it can be chronic constipation can go for many days I sense my stomach or colon may getting inflamed as the day goes by after bath everything looks normal but as day goes by I feel like stiffness or inflammation in the stomach I am worried because this is been there for like starting january and not going away there is no real pain but it is the discomfort and inflammation that disrupts my day to day activities please advise should I book an appointment with gastroenterologist may be to dig further I read about ulcerative colitis or crohn disease but I could not conclude anything based on symptoms I do have an observation that if I masturbate or have sex after having ejaculation discomfort increases the following day", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I can imagine your reason of concern for such ongoing on and off symptoms well first of all if it were ulcerative or crohn disease it should have shown something abnormal on it scan which I presume it did not however remember the it scan reporting is completely a subjective thing it depends highly on the expertise of radiologist who has reported that I would urge if you upload the report in reply to this response I would be glad to see that there will be no charges for that I will allow you one free follow up now the presence of too many stools is not an uncommon finding on it scan since it is basically the function of the colon to reserve stools transit them timely in anterograde direction and finally to be evacuated through the rectum and anal canal if the presence of stool with dilation of the lumen of colon or presence of stools within small bowel fecalization of small bowel and or dilation of the lumen of small bowel suggest an alarming finding normally our small bowel does not usually contain stools it rapidly empties matter to in to large bowel hence the presence of stool in small bowel suggests an abnormal finding I will tell you why this information on it scan is important for example you have a normal size of the lumen of bowel ideally less than am of small bowel and less than am of large bowel with the symptoms you mention it can be irritable bowel syndrome with constipation if the diameter of the lumen is above the normal it can be functional constipation of which two further types the one is chronic colonic constipation or colonic pseudo obstruction called as ogilvie syndrome the other where the small bowel is dilated called chronic small bowel pseudo obstruction I hope you now have an idea why it is important to correlate symptoms with the it scan findings now coming to your symptoms the pain or discomfort is often common when bowel loops are distended with gas or stools and your discomfort which readily resolves after you have good bowel movements suggest the possibility of the same and not otherwise due to a serious underlying cause the intensity of discomfort that changes with the bowel movement again suggests it might secondary to irritable bowel syndrome is metamucil is fiber laxative and really it does not have any harm if taken for years and years the fiber is nonabsorbale molecule it does not go into blood circulation so have no side effects however in some it can cause bloating or belching you can switch to other fibers such as fibrocol if metamucil does not suit you otherwise it is completely normal if you want to resume the same take plenty of water it makes stool bulk large and soft and easy to pass I myself have a habit of taking liters of water in a day and this really makes wonder you should continue that I would wait for your it scan report to see the findings then I will right you some investigations to rule out other possibilities I believe you would not have anyone but just to be on the safe side" }, {

may be more prone to develop recurrent bacterial infections you mention seeing pus coming from many openings which indicates it could be a carbuncle this may need incision drainage ideally a pus culture should be done to know the sensitivity of the organism and antibiotics started accordingly to completely treat the infection usually penicillins cephalosporins or tetracycline are used orally

anyways I read that overheating when pregnant can cause horrible neural tube damage that can lead to birth defects especially in these crucial early weeks when it is forming my question is how worried should I be should I go to a specialist for this is it so bad that I should consider termination my first scan is at 12 weeks and that is the only time I will be able to ask anything and I will be worried it is too late", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello neural tube defects nod in the baby mostly occur in women deficient in folic acid or who are diabetic or if they have any family history or as an associated defect with other chromosomal anomalies yes the baby organs do develop in the early weeks of pregnancy and any extreme exposures can pose risk for maternal health and also for fetal development but I have never come across the risk of developing nod with exposure to sauna but anyway it would be better if you avoid it for the future as of now you need not worry too much about this exposure stay calm and stay positive the first trimester scanning at 12 weeks is good enough to pick any nods and I do not think that would be too late or you need to go for any termination of pregnancy just because of the exposure to sauna at this early pregnancy there is no means to find out if the baby has developed any abnormalities or not and also the second to scan detailed anatomical scan at 18 20 weeks can also pick most 90 95 of any structural anomalies also regarding your gestational age calculations if your cycles were always regular then you should calculate the weeks from the starting day of your last menstrual period it would have been really helpful if you had mentioned the same it would have helped me correlate if your assumption of weeks of pregnancy are correct or

reduced a bit", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello her foot appears to be in good condition now the likely cause for bluish discoloration is blockages only and is called peripheral arterial disease so of she should be treated on the line of blockages itself now blockages in the foot raise the strong possibility of blockages elsewhere in the body like heart brain and its fortunate that she did not suffer any consequences due to that so she should be evaluated with few investigations like egg echocardiogram echo fasting lipid profile sugar if not done recently also to confirm the diagnosis she should undergo it computed tomography angiography of both the lower limbs now coming to the treatment part obviously the best would be to open it with stents but as of now she will need some more medications than what she is having you may continue with neuroin or better to have it in a tablet form once daily and it is just a multivitamin supplement she should also continue plain ecospirin and dose should be 75 my only at bedtime now in my opinion she should additionally have tablet rosuvastatin 10 my bedtime once daily and tablet cilostazol 50 my twice daily after food she should also have some antacids along with these medications like tablet cyeara 20 my rabeprazole once daily before breakfast so these three medications should be added additionally until her evaluation is completed

stools so I suggest you stop straining while passing stools next add fiber to your diet consuming one cumber and carrot a day will help you a lot to avoid constipation also drink plenty of water throughout the day secondly how you use the medication is also important I advise you to do a sit bath twice a day add betadine my in lukewarm water in a tub and sit on it for to 10 minutes next apply the lox lignocaine hydrochloride cream opaque and not gel as gel does not get absorbed and the cream crosses the skin apply it before passing stools and immediately after cleaning yourself after passing the stools you can apply it whenever you have severe pain also you can also take syearup lactulose 15 my at night time after food for 10 days for the piles if you have third or fourth degree piles then surgery is the only choice for first and second degrees you can treat by tablet daflon 500 my one tablet a day for 14 days apply pile ointment or hemoproct ointment before sleep in the anal region avoid anal sex if any until the fissure heals lastly all acute fissure can be treated by the methods I have mentioned here and more than any medication follow the dietary advice and you can

for the fissure and hemorrhoidectomy for piles also keep a check on your viral load and cd4 counts I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my bilirubin level is 7 but I do not have any

to track the heart rate while walking even when not walking too fast my heart rate touches 165 bpm is this normal I am suggested to take amtas 5 but I have not too it so far please help", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello firstly it is a moderate to severe ar aortic regurgitation with normal heart function and normal la dimension so there is no significant damage to the heart and also since you do not have symptoms of aortic regurgitation like palpitations or shortness of breath with exertion serial monitoring with echo would be enough now regarding chest pain it is unlikely to be cardiac it is likely related to acid reflux which is diluted by drinking water so you may have some antacid medications like rabeprazole domperidone or pantoprazole and domperidone combination before breakfast for few days you should also avoid spicy oily and hot foods as much as possible have light meals and walk for sometime after meals rather than resting immediately avoid too much tea or avoid caffeinated drinks now regarding heart rate it is unusual for heart rate to go up this much with simple walking however with running it is expected also one would certainly feel palpitations at this high heart rate and arrhythmic tachycardia would have other associated symptoms like dizziness shortness of breath chest pain etc so it is probably an artefact which is read as heartbeat by watch it is better if you can wear a watch which also shows egg tracings to confirm it or have 24 hour hotter monitoring to confirm it amtas is for blood pressure not to control heartbeat so if your blood pressure is elevated then you may have it so in a nutshell it is probably artefactual rather true tachycardia as it is unlikely for the heart rate to go above 150 with just walking however if one is too breathless during walking or has severe low hemoglobin or hyperthyearoidism with baseline elevated heart rate of more than 100 bum then it may or otherwise not I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent":

clavulanate 475 my three times a day for one week in addition syearup ibugesic plus or its equivalent my two times a day for one week to reduce the inflammation and pain I think for now this should be

have hav my do then did a colposcopy two weeks ago I got a call today saying that it came back normal what does this mean do I still have hav do I just have low risk hav I have never experienced warts", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to icliniq there is a difference between all the tests you underwent to make it clear for you I will explain one at a time pap smear it is a test used to screen if a women can be harbouring cancerous or precancerous cells over the mouth of the uterus I cervix so basically a screening test for cervical cancer and it is pre cancerous changes and as it is just a screening tests it can not always diagnose if you have any foi of cancer over the cervix it just give characteristics of the cells which were studied on the smears so unless they are overtly cancerous looking we always try to rule that out by doing other tests so next comes the hav human papilloma virus testing hav testing it a test to detect the causative agent of the cervical cancer that is human papilloma virus it is spread through sexual contact based on their genomic sequence they can be categorised into various types so warts are caused by the low risk type that is where as there some 12 high risk types which can cause cervical cancer so these are detected in the hav testing depending on your test done as various tests have different sensitivity specificity of these high risk majority are caused by type 16 18 so once a women starts her sexual activity almost 70 80 women may have hav infection but it gets cleared over 2years so that is why we do not test it for women less than 30years I see you have not mentioned your age so as the hav is a virus and it coming positive indicates higher risk of having precancerous changes or may be risk of cervical cancer in future we need to see if any changes have already happened to substantiate the previous tests so then comes the role of colposcopy colposcopy it is basically a test to visualise the cervix under huge magnification and to see for any deviation from normal and to look for any changes over the cervix which can hint on being abnormal or precancerous so that from that particular abnormal sites biopsies cane taken and subjected to histopathological examination where a pathologist sees the tissue under microscope to look for any cancerous cell so as your colposcopy finding are normal your gynaec may call you repeat testing after 12months for repeat cytology hav testing if the repeat screening are negative twice then you can just follow the screening protocols routinely as other women please share the reports of your hav pap smear so that I can go through guide you through in case you any further doubts hope the information helps you have a nice day" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor for the last

individuals have such a branching pattern without any consequences slight bulging was mentioned at ramification but they also commented that it appears to be within normal limits and such slight bulging would not cause pain or would not have any consequences unless there is any obstruction within it important is that there is no obstruction or abnormal course of left coronary artery they have mentioned that the left coronary has a slightly high take off which is fine and unlikely to be responsible for symptoms or complications so as far as coronaries are concerned they are unlikely to be responsible for his symptoms and unlikely to end up in any adverse consequences now I guess he must have had an egg and echo which would give additional assurance to this now if according to symptoms they are again not classical of heart if they were cardiac then they would have certainly aggravated by activities so unlikely to be a cardiac issue now considering his reflux issue the first possibility should be considered of acid reflux and secondly of musculoskeletal even if there is no definitive demonstrable tenderness omeprazole may not be able to counteract reflux totally so it is

"hello first of all please know that ringing sensation is very common and prevalent there are many suspected causes for ringing sensation in the ear the most common ones being wax impinging on the ear drum sudden loud noise moving into a quiet room from a noisy environment and so on you say it started after a bath even water soap hair follicles within your ear when come in contact with the ear drum can cause such ringing sensation although for a short duration this might have even attracted your attention to a symptom which might have been there even before but was not noticeable sometimes the medications you are on also can cause this ringing sensation to be honest there are lots of causes but no sure way of evaluating it so my suggestion try diverting your thoughts away from this and try concentrating on some other work when your thoughts are deeply immersed in something else you will realise that you can hear the ringing sensation only if you think about it you can also listen to music with ear phones with the volume of your device between 30 60 to get your mind off it but please do not do this all day give a gap of atleast an hour after listening for about 30 minutes also it will probably not bother you when you are involved in a conversation with somebody keeping your mind off it all said there are certain rare causes also which require systematic treatment but I would not want you to worry about them right away this symptom of yours has started all of a sudden and in all probability might disappear spontaneously as well do not get anxious reading about all the causes of ringing sensation on the internet as it is bound to frighten you try the above methods and tell me after 24 hours if there was any improvement at all" }, { "Paitent": "hi I am patient of

secondly not treating the sexual partner therefore after completing the amoxicillin no need for more antibiotics hopefully the foreskin swelling resolves you will need sad sexually transmitted disease screening for you and your partner needs a vaginal swab if you got pain like burning sensation while passing urine or swelling or urethral discharge then you will need to do urethral swab culture as well the swelling of the foreskin and sticky discharge might have been caused by sexually transmitted disease as the condom was torn we do not have culture results as you started antibiotics before a culture of your urethra was sent it is great that with amoxicillin you are getting better my suggestion is to complete the amoxicillin course then to do the sexually transmitted diseases tests sad screening which is chlamydia testing by swab taken from urethra gonorrhea testing syphilis tests trichomonas tests human papillomavirus hav herpes test hepatitis surface antigen test hepatitis test hiv antibody and hiv antigen blood test for you and your partner those investigations will help diagnose and prevent future recurrence no need for any more medications for now apart from the

five years also there is polyp formation in the right maxillary sinus when I inhale to get relief from nasal congestion and it starts irritating with inflammation any advice", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi we have to first ascertain as to why sinusitis has occurred in the first place usually in most cases the primary cause is a seasonal or year around allergic problem that is there just to make you understand I have tried to explain things in a simple way below exposure to dust or any irritative substance that your body is hypersensitive to will initially initiate reflexes such as sneezing to remove the offending agent out but if this fails mucosal cells in you nose start to hyperfunction producing loads of mucus to trap dust owing to its sticky nature this mucus has no where to go other than either being blown out of due to mucociliary activity gets pushed into the throat thereby entering into a new zone the throat initially reacts by activating cough impulses to push out the mucus but if that fails a local inflammation around the throat starts which often leads to symptoms such as feeling of a lump in the throat and repeated feeling to clear the throat as far as your nose is concerned due to long standing inflammation the mucosa starts to get edematous and ends up forming a polyp I know the problem is there since a long five years but I am not sure if you have followed any specific treatment chart which is usually recommended before we consider any patient for surgery this treatment chart is custom made according to your symptoms and does follow the guidelines to treat both allergy with sinusitis the following things can be considered wear an n95 mask at all times do not allow any dust or irritative substance from entering into your nose this is the most important thing you should be following failing which no treatment will bring any relief tablet sinarest paracetamol phenylephrine hydrochloride chlorpheniramine maleate one tablet twice daily after food 12 hours apart for 15 days tablet allegra fexofenadine and montelukast one tablet twice daily after food 12 hours apart for 15 days tablet zerodol the aceclofenac and thiocolchicoside 4mg or its equivalent one tablet twice daily after food for five days tablet clarithromycin 500 my one tablet twice daily after food duonase nasal spray or its equivalent two puffs two times a day in both nostrils for three months do not inhale while you spray the drug tablet mucomix 600 my acetylcysteine one tablet twice daily for week tablet wysolone prednisolone 10 my one tablet after breakfast for 10 days steam inhalation to times a day 10 saltwater gargles at to 10 times a day for one month do not smoke or consume alcohol as it slows down mucociliary clearance mechanisms all precautionary measures have to be followed strictly for maximum relief otherwise medications would not be useful on the long term surgery can be considered if above medications and precautionary measures do not give any relief but there is a catch to it the symptoms might come back sometimes even on a higher scale after a brief relief following surgery if the precautionary measures post surgery are not followed ideally speaking in a nutshell I again emphasis on preventing any irritative substance from entering the nose and throat thereby triggering an allergic cascade of events and reproducing the symptoms you have mentioned above as far as the polyp is concerned in very few cases the polyp resolves on its own with medications and often the patient requires a surgery called functional endoscopic sinus surgery where the sinus openings are widened and the polyps are removed you will have to get a it scan done to see the extent of the polyp current condition of the other sinuses and anatomical variations in the nose which could have been contributing to the polyp I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I have jaundice my biliurubin was 5 three weeks ago I went to the

around in a healthy young lady with no previous significant medical history so I do not believe this second the gall bladder is not removed in asymptomatic gall stones asymptomatic gall stones are those which do not cause symptoms and the symptoms of gall stones occur usually when the stone size is 10 my if smaller than this it is unlikely that your pain was gall stone related since you did not mention size of gall stones otherwise it would have been easy to tell you whether it was cause of your pain or not other the pain of gall stones has to be typical in nature the pain which occur in right upper quadrant of the abdomen at site of your liver pain starts suddenly mostly after half hour of meals peaks within hours and then starts settling in next to hours vomiting and nausea can frequently accompany with this pain if you have that typical type of pain then it may be from gall bladder your third question the answer is no drug therapy can prevent from formation of stones or dissolution of stone there are some therapies which are used as in experience but they are not recommended at all if gall bladders stones are symptomatic then they has to be removed by doing gall bladder resection via laparoscopy if not symptomatic then no need of any drug or surgical therapy having said that elective gall bladder resection is indicated among patients who could not bear the risk of cholecystitis such as pregnant ladies with size of stones more than 10 my or patients with smaller gallbladder stones but having pancreatitis stone but without symptoms and presence of gall

have stones in the gallbladder they are concretions it is a medical term and they are called microlithiasis gall bladder stones less than my in size so the possibility of developing cholecystitis gall bladder inflammation is very low however this microlithiasis can cause pancreatitis inflammation of the pancreas which is a gland sitting over the back of the abdomen thirdly the pain can be secondary to the functional gall bladder problem where the gall bladder is naturally slow resulting in damping of bile yellow secretion produced by the liver and stored within gallbladder and production of small concretions such as in our case so I would ask you to get a few blood tests to confirm whether you have pain due to pancreatitis I also want that you should discuss to me in more detail about your pain as only proper history can give me a clue towards your problem whether gall bladder inflammation pancreatitis or functional gall bladder disorder even before any further testing since the ultrasound findings and your symptoms are not correlated very well there is no point in discussing the role of surgery but I just want to assure you that you probably need no surgery so do not worry

21 year old male I have thinning hair and was planning of preventing through medication I was planning on taking finasteride", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi from the information given it seems you are experiencing the early signs of male pattern hair loss this is a very common condition and there are many factors responsible one of them being genetic due to the effect of the male hormone on the hair cycle over a period of time the hair follicle starts shrinking and so the hair which comes out is thinner and more fragile and breaks easily also the growing phase of the hair is shortened so your hair does not grow as long it used to and becomes shorter and wispier there are several treatment options available and the sooner we start the treatment the better the chances of reducing further hair loss thinning and increasing regrowth a combination of oral supplements to boost hair growth along with the application of lotions containing minoxidil to begin with will be the best course of action in my opinion oral finasteride which is the male hormone blocker is used frequently applications with finasteride are available too this will be prescribed by your treating doctor after assessing the extent of thinning and discussing the side effects etc several preparations of biopeptides and other natural ingredients like saw palmetto extract melatonin etc are also available to boost hair growth pop platelet rich plasma is a popular procedure that is often used in combination with medical treatment to stimulate hair growth further usually a combination of treatments is suggested after the clinical evaluation but using the applications regularly is the key to good results hair regrowth takes a few months to show and you will have to be patient to see the benefit of treatment I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I have multiple conditions going on right now and fear that it could be a parasitic condition and need some expert advice started off with a

drug reaction or allergy dust or mite allergy then you developed an ear infection which may be due to bacterial cause after that you may suffer from conjunctivitis which is easy to catch through touching you may get conjunctivitis by touching your infected hand that had touched your ear in conjunctivitis whitish yellow discharge may come out under eyelid you can use an antibacterial drop on your affected ear and eye with antihistamine along with or without broad spectrum antibiotics orally but in the case of viral infection these medications do not work wash your eye with water regularly

headache which is a benign headache light and sound intolerance are features of migraine but the other symptoms you explain are more compatible with tension type headache nevertheless I agree with your doctor treatment regarding escitalopram you should know that the sleep disorders are related to different causes depression daily stress and anxiety vitamin deficiency an abnormal sleep regime caffeine intake etc I would recommend taking vitamin if there is low plasma levels of this vitamin regarding your sleep disorder I would recommend starting zolpidem for a couple of weeks 10 my before sleep you can try half a tablet before going to 10 my melatonin intake can regulate your sleep rhythms too but it is taken for a more prolonged time than zolpidem and its effects are lower a good sleeping hygiene sleep always at the same time avoid straining physical or emotional activities before sleep avoid caffeine intake would help too if all these tips and drugs are not helpful a prolonged brain eg electroencephalogram during sleep would help diagnose any possible sleeping disorders regarding flunarizine I would explain that this is a calcium channel blocker and as such it can interact with calcium or vitamin in high amounts but usually it does not affect the calcium levels you can try taking escitalopram for three months initially and then try flunarizine if no good results on escitalopram I would not recommend taking them both initially you should know that escitalopram achieves its effect after three weeks from the starting and the main changes to be seen are a reduce in the frequency of headaches and also mood changes optimism you can try taking amitriptyline too if you do not have any symptoms relief after the first month on escitalopram it can be really

tinnitus and ear discomfort due to interference with sound transmission and processing if the ear infection has happened secondary to recurrent allergy or cold then you will have probably developed a eustachian tube catarrh due to which the fluid is still present in the middle ear causing the tinnitus and will take around two months approximately in to for tinnitus to resolve if the ear infection has occurred due to trauma by earbuds etc the tinnitus will take approximately four to six weeks as this the average time it takes to heal the ear drum I am sure you fall into one of the two possibilities mentioned above there is absolutely nothing that you need to worry about as this usually takes a while for things to normalize at the same time make sure there are no triggering factors

impacted my continence I have been having some gi issues lately and read that you can cause a hiatal hernia from chronic straining is it possible that I could have caused a hiatal hernia at my age are six months to a year chronic enough if I have caused a hiatal hernia will it stay forever or can I reduce it and the hernia size through exercise to tone and strengthen the diaphragm and weight loss I am extremely worried I have caused a hernia and will have to live with it forever I have had a standard ray of the chest which came back normal could a hernia have been missed", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I can very well understand your concern and at the start I want to tell you that chronic straining does not lead to the development of hiatus hernia however your weight can hiatus hernia is an anatomical change that can present since birth and after certain surgical procedures over abdomen or diaphragm overweight to obese can develop hiatus hernia because of the excessive pressure over the stomach from belly fat causing upward lifting of the lower part of food pipe and formation of hernia and lastly due to the old age when the diaphragmatic muscle gets weakened allowing part of the lower esophagus to get pulled in the lower part of the chest in a young healthy people diaphragmatic muscle is strong enough to prevent this from happening valsalva maneuver if performed vigorously can cause tears in the lower part of the esophagus which is an acute complication of this but it will not alter the anatomy or produce a hiatus hernia valsalva can harm somebody if it is done without a reason there are certain indications for medical conditions but it can only cause damage to the lower part of the esophagus acutely but would not alter the anatomy of it I hiatus hernia yes an ray plain without contrast can easily miss a hiatus hernia a special ray with contrast named barium is swallowed and serial ray images from the chest are taken that can diagnose the hiatus hernia instantly however a plain chest ray cannot detect the presence of hiatus hernia so now coming to your second concern that you have to live with it well it is not yet proven that you have a hiatus hernia secondly it is not uncommon to have hiatus hernia in people without any symptoms and it can remain undiagnosed until their whole life the point is it can present harmlessly in human for years and years and does not necessitate any investigations the time to develop a hiatus hernia is variable but it does take many years of overweight to cause hiatus hernia very less likely within to 12 months time it is not a rule that every hiatus hernia would cause symptoms or disease or any complications I would not suggest you even to worry about it and get tested for it because it would not change anything for you simple exercises keeping a healthy lifestyle reduce weight are all that is required the weight loss is very compulsory this will not only help you preventing hiatus hernia but also other things like gastroesophageal reflux herd bloating gas distention constipation I hope this helps overweight barium swallow if worried about it or have symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal

most common criterion a short axis diameter of more than am is generally accepted as a threshold for malignancy in most studies however the diagnostic sensitivity of this standard is weakened by the fact that many a times malignant lens can be normal in size false negative and many invective nodes can be enlarged in size thus giving false positive results on imaging nowadays it is combined with pet positron emission tomography to get both anatomical and functional information it is called fusion imaging and is mainly used to diagnose and stage metastatic cancers such as lymphomas it also uses ionizing radiation rays that is another disadvantage which needs to be considered so to sum it all structural imaging methods such as ultrasound it conventional mri do not distinguish benign lens

having any problems symptoms then do not get any tests done because even in a completely normal person there can be a few parameters outside the normal range we cannot keep chasing the lab report completely forgetting the babys condition if you get a routine health check done during your visit to your pediatrician for vaccination it is sufficient that is if the baby is not having any problems symptoms any change in the mothers diet changes the composition of the breast milk to a small degree which then is reflected on the childs routine you may start taking milk with tea initially small amounts and gradually increase the babys bowel movement pattern might change but that does not mean it is not good for babys health but do not start to feed cows milk pateurised milk to the baby yet

of fungal infections includes applications which contain ketoconazole sertaconazole luliconazole etc oral antifungal like terbinafine and itraconazole are often used in combination for better clearance and reducing recurrence local hygiene is very important taking bath daily drying the skin folds after bath keeping soap and towels separate and drying your clothes in sunlight and ironing

surest test to detect a thyearoid swelling is by doing an ultrasound to assess minor details size blood supply and other aspects which we need to know before we treat you secondly you need to get a thyearoid function test wherein we assess the level of the thyearoid hormones in your body thirdly we also do a fine needle aspiration cytology fnac to find out what was the cause of the swelling to occur in the thyearoid here we insert a needle in your thyearoid gland in areas of interest and then observe these cells under the microscope for patients having thyearoid problems hypothyearoid to be specific we usually avoid foods belonging to the brassica family such as kale rape cabbage cauliflower and broccoli these are known to block the synthesis of the thyearoid hormones leading to its deficiency and thyearoid enlargement seafood bread and milk are rich sources of iodine also understand that a hyperfunctioning thyearoid also can cause a thyearoid swelling and the tests mentioned

5 years back you tend to have stomach pain which is worse on fasting plus you feel burping and acidic taste in the mouth anal itching and constipation worsen your itching so pyloric infection is common worldwide with a prevalence of 50 of the world population is infected with this bacteria pyloric can cause ulcers in stomach and small intestine which is called duodenum pyloric responds to combination antibiotics for a duration of 10 to 14 days however due to excessive use of antibiotics in community this bug is getting increasingly resistant to these first line antibiotics hence use of second line antibiotics are preferred I will write down the treatment below in a while secondly due to failure of first line antibiotic therapy the pyloric will remain in the stomach and can cause ulcers as well as damage to nerve cells within the wall of the stomach and cause slowing of the movement of the stomach medically termed as gastroparesis or weakness of stomach in common words so your symptoms may be partly defined by resistant pyloric infection causing ulcer formations particularly in duodenum plus the nerve damage within wall of stomach leading to gastroparesis causing bloating belching early fullness of stomach and abdominal discomfort and constipation I want you to tell me whether your last test for pyloric was positive or negative if positive then I recommend you to take the following therapy for 14 days capsule pylera bismuth submit metronidz tcn three capsules daily with a glass of water three hours after meals and at bedtime capsule esomeprazole 40 my once daily half an hour before meals for two weeks digestive 40 my half an hour before meals daily for two weeks if the test was negative then I suggest you to test pyloric stool antigen to confirm if the infection is still present if still negative then do not take capsule pylera but continue with esomeprazole and digestive the digestive tablet will help you to improve your stomach movement secondly some precaution for gastroparesis try to avoid large volume meals instead take small frequent meals avoid taking fatty meals such as burger fried things and large carbohydrate meals like potato and sweets and soft drinks which further slows your stomach avoid taking a large volume of water while having meals your stomach pain occurring when you are fasting for two hours is due to ulcers in duodenum once your treatment with pyloric is completed plus acid suppressant medication such as esomeprazole would help you to reduce your pain I want you to upload your endoscopic reports and ultrasound reports which can help me to assess the extent of damage pyloric has caused to your stomach and duodenum I hope this helps peptic ulcer disease secondary to resistant pyloric gastroparesis

after days if you do not develop any symptoms or earlier itself if you develop any symptoms and since your boyfriend has tested positive you satisfy the criteria of couid close contact you need to

hypothyearoidism or asthma will put you at a very low risk for couid 19 so it is fine for immunity general good nutrition will help there is no specific need of taking vitamin and mineral capsules for it as regards to viral load it can be controlled by social distancing and by reducing exposure with anybody and everybody outside your house this rule applies to each and every member of the house as soon as you come back home it is advisable to have a bath with soap and water and to keep the clothes immediately for washing when outside wear a mask covering both nose and mouth at all times also

patient of childhood asthma so you are more vulnerable to develop couid 19 positive I do not know whether you are quarantined or not you had exposure history or not so you should undergo some investigations like antigen test for active infection and antibody test for previously infected by couid 19 you can also undergo car and pulse oximetry for monitoring of oxygen saturation rate you can

appreciated", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi it is always dangerous to predict and take action in case of their own health the tinnitus in your case is not due to earwax it may be due to the blockage of the eustachian tube connecting middle ear and back of the nasal cavity its primary work is to equalize pressure between environment and middle ear this is also a prediction the real cause can be found after an ear examination as you have already mentioned nowadays it is a little hard to go for treatment what you can do is practice some no side effect formulas steam inhalation start sipping lukewarm

cholecystectomy as my gallbladder was not functioning properly he did also suggest that I could try to repair it with my diet but then told me it would likely be fruitless and I should get the procedure right away I did so promptly and experienced the typical symptoms I am concerned about this only now because I believe I have postcholecystectomy syndrome due to the surgery this would not be an issue relatively however I believe that my rapid weightless was due to extreme stress and was mostly psychological it seems to me that my practitioner should have advised me that gallstones occur commonly when rapid weight loss occurs furthermore I believe that I could have benefited much more from keeping my gallbladder on a rigorous healthy diet and prescribing a biliary control the latter that has taken place has resulted in a year long constant struggle to be happy and healthy", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello well I understand that a year back you have been diagnosed with gallbladder dyskinesia or dysmotility as reported by hide scan I was wondering whether you have weight loss as the only primary symptom or associated with abdominal pain because gallbladder dyskinesia most commonly causes pain and diarrhea rather simply weight loss or one should have to have evidence that the weight loss was due to gallbladder dyskinesia and not otherwise then surgery was probably the right decision I cannot figure out whether you have other symptoms or not and now what sort of typical symptoms you feel suggesting you as postcholecystectomy syndrome pas I can understand actually that symptoms of pas can be at times very distressing and unbearable the common symptoms are bloating after meal frequent reflux or pain in the upper part of the belly diarrhea after meals or sometimes otherwise and this even can cause weight loss this syndrome basically occurs secondary to an excessive pool of bile stored within a small bowel instead of gallbladder which is otherwise a sole bile reservoir but pas usually resolves within some time the maximum it can take is two to three years until the time your small intestine is adapted to it you can try tablet cholestyearamine go twice daily hour before meal or hours before meals this is a bile sequestrant and will bind and remove excessive bile from the gut to be honest I still do not understand the reason for your surgery year back but cannot completely argue with physician because I was not and he was the best person to decide while understanding your condition at that time postcholecystectomy syndrome follow up in

it is unlikely that the effect will remain within you and can harm you in long term so I do not think that you should be worried about this now the pain you mention which has started nearly at the time of stop of these medicines suggest narcotic bowel syndrome nos in nos the patient became insensitive to the usual doses of opioids and kept on increasing the doses to relieve the same amount of pain intensity with subsequent higher doses this happen because of chronic use of these medicines would potentially increase the numbers of receptors controlling pain once the medicine is reduced in dose or completely stop in your case a rebound pain develop and it remain until another painkiller or similar opioid is restarted so actually it is vicious cycle pain and increased dose cycle is sometime inevitable and requires a close monitoring of switching to other safe painkillers while at the same time decreasing the dose of opioids the treatment is termed as opioid detoxification

with enlargement of liver size the normal liver size should be no more than 13 am despite the fact you have severe morbid obesity thankfully you deserve a vote of appreciation for struggling so high to reduce your weight by 15 keg this is a good sign by the way I would urge you to continue this in future whatever you were doing for the weight reduction since you did not mention whether you still having alcohol and smoking it is important to know that fatty liver plus alcohol can both damage the liver and the impact is much higher if both risk factors are combined I should strongly recommend you to reduce the alcohol intake if still taking or completely stop it your liver may not be able to tolerate more insult because of alcohol now coming to the numbers which you have shared the spa value more than 12 is suggestive of the development of fibrosis which is not a good sign however this value is often erratic or falsely high if someone has obesity or fat within the liver as may be in your case to confirm whether you have that degree of fibrosis you have to get a liver biopsy which can tell the exact grade of fibrosis and can differentiate whether the insult to your liver is because of alcohol you had in past or because of fat due to obesity the cap value of 353 is suggestive of the amount of fat you have in the liver this can however indirectly confirm the damage to your liver is rather secondary to fat and not due to alcohol but again this has to be confirmed on liver biopsy if you are not inclined to liver biopsy I suggest you to continue with the weight reduction strategy completely avoid alcohol intake and keep monitoring your liver function tests and fibroscan every six months alcohol related liver disease plus obesity and fat induced liver disease complete

very low interest in sex I ignored that and got married to him right after our marriage we had sex daily and then it started reducing gradually the frequency fell drastically from having sex once in a week to once in 15 days whenever I tried to initiate or have a word with him about it he said that a man needs to be very free to have sex and busy people generally have low sexual engagements I know that it is not true and I believe that he gives some excuse to his own weakness now at the end of one year of our marriage the sex has reduced to once in a month so you can understand the level of frustration I have landed into which is severely affecting my own personal health and interest in staying with him he hardly gets aroused once in many days and does not react sexually even after I make advancements he does not react does not understand and most importantly not able to enter me without putting a condom he says he gets support with the condom so the second issue you can understand is that with that condom I cannot conceive also he has very low interest in anything related to sex and he is not able to enter me properly as he says it hurts him otherwise he is such a loving husband and its tough for me to believe that he does not want to make love to his wife for any other reason I would like to tell you that he does not have a separate skin from the shaft it rather covers the shaft and that pretty much indicates he even masturbates very less could you please help me could you please tell me if this is normal with some men does the case of my husband look

due to fissure usually nothing to do for that but if you have any problem because of it like pain bleeding or pus discharge you can opt for surgery it is a very minor surgery no side effects or any problem after removing them by an experienced surgeon a raw area will form that will heal on its own it can reappear if you have another formation of anal fissure so avoid the conditions that will cause it again like spicy food and constipation I will advise you to start a sit bath in which you have to sit in lukewarm water for 15 minutes twice a day 10 my betadine can be added to it you will get a better result in some time I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am experiencing pelvic pain for the last few days everytime and my period is late for week as of now I confirmed

colon before that I did a stool test that was negative in calprotectin and I had a casa it showed no inflammation negative for lactoferrin no bacterial infection I also had a colonoscopy and it showed clear why there are pain and bowel wall thickening", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I can understand you must be very upset about your ill health so the comprehensive stool analysis is well within normal limits particularly calprotectin and lactoferrin which are inflammatory markers their absence theoretically excludes any inflammation within the bowel hence a good finding the me examination and its reporting is a subjective findings means it is interpreted by a radiologist and may sometime have an error in reporting because of differential enhancement pattern within bowel and bowel movements at the time of scan plus given your colonoscopy report afterward also showed no pathology suggest it was possibly an error in interpretation the colonoscopy is however the best morality to explain the me magnetic resonance electrography reported findings given normal colonoscopy suggest that the possibility of inflammation is unlikely now coming to your symptoms and use of medication that you believe helped for some time from your history I understand you have been given mesalamine for the duration of seven months after a colonoscopy that showed colitis and biopsy showed non specific inflammation so first of all mesalamine is an anti inflammatory drug which is commonly being given among patient suffering from inflammatory bowel disease i'd the i'd is further classified into ulcerative colitis uc which is a superficial inflammation usually of large bowel starting down from rectum and goes above to involve large bowel the other one is crohn disease cd which is somewhat deeper inflammation of the gut wall having a tendency to involve almost every part of the gut starting from the mouth toward the anus given your symptoms of mucus or pus discharge and presence of pancolitis on one of your colonoscopy make me think that there is a possibility of ulcerative colitis plus the response you observed to mesalamine is also favoring this diagnosis your second colonoscopy did not show any inflammation possibly because of the remission of the disease the uc tend to have an intermittent course with flares and intervening remissions possibly at the time of second colonoscopy the disease was in remission given your recent stool test and recent normal colonoscopy make me think that you do not have active disease at the moment your disease seems to be controlled with budesonide or previous mesalamine you took the mucus pus discharge suggests that there may be some other problem such as anal fissure anal fistula or anal sinus which may accompany the ulcerative colitis in its course for this I want you to examine your perianal bottom area and see from where exactly the mucus is coming the abdominal pain may be just because of stress and anxiety accompanying the current situation and not necessarily the active disease for such pain sari selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are helpful for treatment I need to have the biopsy report of your colon both the previous one and recent one as I can see there is ongoing microscopic inflammation budesonide is an expensive drug and it is recommended in uc where the inflammation does not go beyond the left side of the colon you had pan colitis inflammation involving the whole colon and that is why oral steroids such as tablet prednisolone is more effective than budesonide the physician prescribes budesonide over oral prednisolone if the patient is unable to tolerate the systemic side effects which accompany oral prednisolone or patient has diabetes and bone mineral deficiency your physician probably kept this thing in mind so to summarize you likely have ulcerative colitis because I did not see biopsy of your bowel and as you said it was nonspecific the uc is in remission the pus and mucus have to be closely examined by you or by a physician by doing a digital rectal examination the uc can frequently accompany depression and anxiety and that should be taken care of abdominal pain possibly related to stress and you consider taking sari at minimum dose like tablet escitalopram 10 my daily discuss with your primary gastroenterologist regarding oral prednisolone if he is convinced enough you may share your biopsy reports I can advise you on this as well one more thing since you do not have any sign suggestive of active disease the steroid are not required at the moment you need to be given some immunosuppressive medications to control and prevent relapse flare the one more reason for your doctor prescribed budesonide is he might have considered microscopic colitis which is entirely a different diagnosis and requires entirely a different management approach you share me the biopsy and colonoscopy reports that will make me in a good position to tell you what to do now and sorry for such a huge description and lengthy message but I am sure this will really help you to understand your condition I hope this helps ulcerative colitis in remission done

about the report now I do not know why you mentioned down syndrome as there is no evidence of it in echo but routine ultrasound of the baby rather than echo is an investigation of choice for down syndrome so routine ultrasound of the baby called as malformation scan is necessary to rule out down syndrome also in down syndrome there are abnormalities in the heart as well but echo is fine so it is a negative factor for down syndrome but still ultrasound would be more reliable down syndrome has severe consequences on the baby rather than mother firstly because of various structural

the ear in a situation where it does not function a negative pressure develops in the side of the ear leading to feeling of vaccum ringing sounds feeling of fluid in the ear and sometimes decreased hearing as well most common causes out there would be allergy or underlying sinusitis which can block up the tubes and there by cause its effects now getting to your question a sinus ray cannot show if the eustachian tubes are closed or not a sinus ray just gives information about the status of the sinuses septum and other bony prominence yes we do a nasal endoscopy to see what is the status of the nasal mucosa sinus drainage pathway details of the nasopharyngeal area and definitely see if the tubal opening is anatomically patent or not in most circumstances we can pick up any functional

just needs to focus on breath without any active effort for its manipulation either sitting or lying exhaling through the mouth is perfectly fine as far as the patient is comfortable but there is nothing wrong in exhaling through the nose also let it be decided by the patient whether he wants to exhale through the mouth or through the nose both ways of exhaling seems to be equally good with a bit extra priority to exhaling through the mouth let us not trouble him by putting any unnecessary rules I will consider bhramari pranayama chanting of while exhaling to be best for him if any religious concerns are there about any of the chanting then these can be replaced with either only bhramari pranayama or instead of om some other words like swim can be followed with emphasis on my

completed a family and you already have children surgery is a necessity if your hydrocele increases in size and causes discomfort or a varicocele is found on the doppler scan of the scrotum or immediate surgery is advisable if your sperm count is low after ruling out other causes for a lower sperm count in the meantime what you can do at home is to provide scrotal support you can buy it at

once I found out I skipped the placebo week the following month in order to reset the ovulation placebo timings I am sexually active and knowing I had not used the pill correctly I mostly used condoms

icliniq based on your description I understand that you skin using the pills in early last month in the beginning of your menstrual cycles and later took it continuously to avoid the placebo pills see first thing you have to understand is that if you did not start the birth control in the first week of your menstrual cycles it is not effective as a birth control at all as the follicular development already sets in which contains the ovum egg so there is a high chance of pregnancy in such cases even if you start it in the following week the clots that you described could be possibly products of conception only a possibility if you had gotten pregnant and had a spontaneous miscarriage so to confirm if this is the situation or not please check your home pregnancy test if that is positive then this confirms the likely possibility of a pregnancy also if you could share a picture of the clot that you have I can have a look to check the other possibilities of your problem please feel free to revert back to me anytime with any further queries or doubts also please check your home pregnancy test once and get back to me with the result have a nice day home pregnancy test ultrasound abdomen

dose of mirtazapine is 15 60 my for most individuals in my opinion you need to discuss the optimization of dose with your treating psychiatrist as I can see there are issues with stomach bloating and

that your medications for cad or diabetes contributing to the current problem for that purpose I feel you need to discuss same with your cardiologist in addition to medications there is a need for

salad and two servings of fruits one preferable citrus fruit avoid junk food and fast food especially pizza burgers and excessive sweets ensure adequate water intake recommended intake of water is two to three liters a day insufficient intake of water could be a contributing factor in the causation of symptoms early morning exercise and brisk walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in the garden will be very helpful avoid tea coffee nicotine and alcoholic beverages if at all you want to drink something drink fresh lime water it is very much refreshing start your day with a glass of lemon water with two spoons of honey added have a good breakfast do not take work so seriously we all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and do not spend adequate time with our own

field hence I would like to give you some suggestion regarding that so I see you already on some medicine for indigestion such as maalox syearup and pariet which is an acid suppressant medication they are relatively safe and can be taken regularly or intermittently based on symptoms the second concern from gi perspective are fatty liver you did not mention your weight so I could not estimate the body mass index which is a direct tool to assess the level of fat one has over the liver and other body tissues atorvastatin lipitor can reduce some fat from liver but they are not the preferred treatment for fatty liver disease they can control lipids however if elevated atorvastatin can cause myopathy means muscle damage and can cause severe cramps over legs and throughout the body I want you to check your creatine phosphokinase cpu levels to confirm this if you have recently stopped your atorvastatin the preferred therapy for fatty liver disease if you are not diabetes is vitamin 400 my twice daily for at least three months the other recommendation is to reduce your weight by to 10 of current body weight in the coming six months walk 150 minutes week and dieting which is all required I am sorry I could not answer the rest of your concern but I want that should contact a neurologist available online on icliniq to be given proper suggestions regarding your health I hope

chance of hepatitis spread through eating food contaminated with infected blood", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello well the whole blood and serum white fluid within blood contains large amount of virus and virus can live on blood spots outside the human body for the duration of one week so actually it depends upon how much blood and how much time it has been on the stain that can determine the chances of acquiring infection if contaminated with food so I guess my answer can be partially answering your query if you tell me the exact event I may be in a better position to tell you the figures otherwise as a general rule hepatitis does not spread via food having said that it can still spread if blood contaminated food has been ingested since virus invades the human body when comes in close to mucosa lining of our mouth and then spread to blood within human this happens in the same way as one infected person can transmit infection via kissing hugging sharing of a towel spoon plates and

pregnancy that was terminated medically and at how many weeks of gestation this is important because sometimes missed miscarriage may harbor partial molar pregnancy which goes unnoticed as biopsy or

trophoblastic neoplasia gun as your scan is normal and also endometrial thickness of my is also a normal finding so there is no chance of having any retained products it would be helpful if you could

no longer appears as if it is above the skin but appears as a small pin sized bump underneath a skin bridge I am curious if it cannot be an sad and I have never found anything similar online so what could it be I would not think a wart would stick around that long and it really does not look like that at all that was there over 12 years so I would not think it is anything fatal to be even more

considering it was a single lesion was not painful or itchy flesh colored and it persisted for a long time and resolved on its own so all these factors favor it morphology can be variable the negative factor was not sexually active although most common causes are sexual contacts but significant number of individuals may have it with non sexual contacts as well it can be transmitted vertically during childbirth and remain dormant for a long time activating later in life it can be transmitted with usual contacts and can be transmitted through clothing like underwear if came in direct or indirect contact with infected individual clothing sharing toilets etc can also transmit it so being not sexually active is not a strong factor against it rest all causes like skin tags which would persist without treatment or fall off suddenly up pearly penile papeles would be numerous papeles other infectious causes would be short lived and multiple lesions and symptomatic like painful tender

harm there is nothing much specific help we could get drastically from diet modification for this condition just maintain your ideal body weight but still you need to confirm it by a biopsy need not fear about biopsy as you described it is not removal of part of the lump it is just a pinch of the lump a small bit from it with a small injection sometimes your surgeon might decide to excise it as a whole and send for biopsy in which case it is called excision biopsy but that will serve you dally for diagnosis and also completion of treatment by total removal and it is only a minor surgery not a major one so just throw away your fears on that you can continue breastfeeding and plan for pregnancy but I think the lump may increase in size during pregnancy which I am not sure about you need to

throat mucous it is because of local production of acid is produced in the stomach to aid in digestion the throat mucosa is not suitable to handle the acid when such local acid production occurs or the gastric acid contents rise up the esophagus they cause chronic irritation of mucosa and produce these symptoms they are seen typically as inflammation of the posterior larynx in endoscopy if you can search for your endoscopy report and share with us it will be helpful the treatment for this condition is to take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole 40 my or pantoprazole 40 my twice daily half an hour before food for about a month also I advise to take a teaspoon of mucaine gel aluminium hydroxide after each meal and before bedtime at night for a week the proton pump inhibitor prevents acid production and the gel which is a combination of antacid and local anesthetic produces relief of symptoms consult your specialist doctor discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent some additional care to be taken during this treatment are with these measures your condition will improve but it will be a gradual recovery if you do not recover then I would like to do some blood

60 minutes in a day spread across three to four intervals 14 30 days my throat felt different 30 last days had acid refluxes but heartburn occurs daily I have tried varying my diet but have not found any significant changes is this a cause of concern that despite having medicines for 42 days I still have mild heartburn occurring daily what should I do how long will it take for a medicine to show the effect should I continue the course and if so for how long and if yes does prolonged usage of medicine have side effects or if left untreated do they have side effects I took somproz initially for four days lesuride 25 and deltone for 14 days and for the next 14 days I took lesuride 25 and nexpro 40", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello you have briefly and well described your history and I understand that you have very genuine concerns so the problem you have is called gastroesophageal reflux disease herd this is basically reflux of acid from the stomach to food pipe causing heartburn sore throat sometimes cough and shortness of breath our stomach produces approximately liter of acidic juices to help digest food the acid produced does not usually come into food pipe unless someone has loose sphincter at the lower end of our food pipe which prevents acid refluxing into the food pipe there are two further classifications of herd pi responsive herd and pi refractory herd your symptoms suggest that you have pi proton pump inhibitor responsive herd since your symptoms are significantly improved when you are taking pi even in pi responsive herd the symptoms may not completely vanish but are declined to a reasonable level and this may be in your case for this you just need to increase the dose of pi instead of once daily dose you can start taking it twice a day before meals the rest of your symptoms like sore throat will go away once your acid reflux is suppressed well diet may or may not affect the herd however there are certain precautions that you can do to prevent heartburn avoiding large volume meals instead take small but frequent meals avoid taking large meals at night or before going to bed give at least three to four hours gap after night meals before going to bed for sleeping raise the head end of your bed by placing a cement or wooden block down the head side of your bed or there are commercially available anti reflux mattresses that can be used instead avoid wearing tight fitting clothes and belts so your concern about the presence of symptoms despite 42 days of treatment is valid but you see the acid is produced daily and the medicines can decrease the acid production for the duration of time they are in the blood once the level of the drug declines from a certain point the acid production takes over back so taking a daily pill to control your acid production is the only effective way of treating your condition no long term use and side effects well all pi are relatively safe and do not cause significant side effects if taken for years and years however there are studies that have shown renal damage bone protein loss and aspiration pneumonia but in practice these side effects are not that common as elaborated in studies the one daily pill to control your acid and prevailing a normal lifestyle is much more important than unforeseen and often unestablished side effects from long term use of pi I would recommend if pi helps you to do well then there is no reason for stopping for the sake of unforeseen complications but if you still have a concern about the long use of pi then I would recommend you to get oh impedance 24 hours testing to confirm herd and if present then pi again is the therapy but if the test comes out negative then pi can be stopped I hope this helps pi responsive herd ambulatory 24 hours oh impedance testing non erosive reflux disease herd tablet pantoprazole 40 my before breakfast you can increase it to 40 my bid before meals follow up if want to discuss more" }, { "Paitent":

so much worse compared to other people with my level of hearing loss is that I have add and ptsd which makes it so hard to focus do you think this is a possibility or could it simply be that I handle my hearing loss worse than others I just do not understand why I experience hearing speech as so difficult and why I am so dependent on hearing aids when my hearing loss is technically very mild", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi let me tell you a statement which explains it perfectly the ear receives the sound but interpretation of sound happens at the brain so many a times with mild hearing loss speech perception is low moreover you have tinnitus too I hope you have fitted with digital programmable computerized programmable hearing aids if yes it amplifies exactly the same as required in each frequency no need to worry about it by the way avoid caffeinated drinks tea coffee alcohol and avoid noisy situations as much as possible puretone is used in the test in which you got the result mild mid frequency hearing loss pure tone audiometry but in day to day life you are not listening to pure tones right it is speech so pure tone audiometry and speech audiometry should be done and correlated if that would have been done then you must have a clear picture of your problem my honest suggestion is to use the hearing aids so as not to worsen the condition if you stop using it that may cause further deterioration" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am a 32 year old male I have no previous conditions or problems and I take no medications for the last two months my right nipple

just putting it down to anxiety and stress all the time", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I welcome you to icliniq I can understand that must very much frustrated for your ongoing non resolving symptoms I want you to understand why this symptoms of heartburn occurs in reality hear burn is a common symptoms that can occur in normal subjects as well but does remain long in some people heart burn occur secondary to acid reflux in food pipe esophagus which usually settles with one dose acid suppressant medication or twice daily capsule however there is a third group of individuals where by the maximum does acid suppressant does not effect very much as in your case we call this condition as refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease herd so why I started emphasizing on all this because management is different the work up of refractory herd start with an endoscopy a procedure where by a gastroenterologist puts a tube with camera in to your esophagus and see what is inside also there are other battery of test which could confirm what is exactly a problem may be straightforward I reflux but it can be some thing which is micking herd the herd mickers are many the one of most common are esophageal motility disorders which are another set of disorders in itself so to cut the story short I want you to first of all optimize the acid suppressant treatment I know you taking omeprazole 40 my twice daily but it is important you take these medication 30 minutes or sometime 45 min before meal it is very important since at times it is timing which is important than the drug itself but if you are doing it already in that manner I would recommend you to think about endoscopy now but it would help us to determine some other more information not necessarily the acid reflux keep taking gaviscon but increase the dose take 15 to 20 my at one time to times daily and half hour after meals the rest of your symptoms such as feeling lump in throat is common if someone has reflux it is called as globes sensation dont worry about that it will go away once your acid controlled adequately the stress and anxiety sometime create a vicious cycles where the disorder is perpetuated and influenced by it but I think this is not the only explanation of your problem the stress is obvious thing in one with non resolving symptoms for example if do not reach to a particular diagnosis by endoscopy I would consider testing for esophageal motility disorders and some more allergic and hyperalgesic problems of esophagus but for now let the above treatment plan work meanwhile get some

"input": "", "Doctor": "hi apologies for the late reply as you have rightly put it the most probable problem out there is a severe allergic problem with an associated sinusitis frontal sinusitis to be precise I have tried to explain things in a very simple yet precise manner below the cascade of events is explained in a very simple manner below eventhough its not as simple as it looks exposure to dust or any irritative substance that your body is hyper sensitive to will initially initiate reflexes such as sneezing to remove the offending agent out but if this fails mucosal cells in you nose start to hyperfunction producing loads of mucus to trap dust owing to its sticky nature this mucus has no where to go other than either being blown out of due to mucociliary activity gets pushed into the throat thereby entering into a new zone the throat initially reacts by activating cough impulses to push out the mucus but if that fails a local inflammation around the throat starts which often leads to symptoms such as feeling of a lump in the throat and repeated feeling to clear the throat now this is general cascade that usually occurs in most people but need not be specific to you sinusitis is always secondary to something allergy being the most common out of them there could be other reasons as well for sinusitis to occur such as a hypoplastic frontal sinus narrow frontal outflow tract frontal recess sinonasal polyposis etc another important fact about sinusitis is about its recurrence plain use of antibiotics does not solve the issue but just keeps it off for a while we need to dig down and see what has caused the sinusitis in the first place for appropriate treatment rather than superficially treating it with plain antibiotics precautionary measures is one such thing which if followed such as in a case or allergy will definetely go a very long way in keeping the problem at bay the requirement of medications also will be less and on the whole you will have immense benefit you can consider the following advice all precautionary measures have to be followed strictly for maximum relief other wise medications will not be useful on long term if things do not seem ok even after following the treatment schedule mentioned above a non contrast it is mandatory to find out what exactly could be going on in the sinonasal region anatomical variations extent of inflammatory load are few things we look into while reading a it scan surgery can be considered if above medications and precautionary measures do not give any relief but there is a catch to it the symptoms might come back sometimes even on a higher scale after a brief relief following surgery if the precautionary measures post surgery are not followed ideally speaking in a nut shell I again emphasis on preventing any irritative substance from entering the nose and throat thereby triggering an allergic cascade of events and reproducing the symptoms you have mentioned above I hope I have

some black discoloration at the glans penis head but it does not look like symptom of any illness or disease in other words it can be stated that poor personal hygiene can be the cause and exercising proper care during bath and otherwise can be of much use I must acknowledge that images attached to the query are of low resolution but can be considered of average quality for the initial assessment in case there is no improvement after improving personal hygiene I recommend you to post high resolution images on the follow up query I must also inform you that slight black pigmentation of the penis can be due to the overproduction of melanin which is responsible for the color of our skin this generally represents injury to the penis because of some injury due to aggressive masturbation

also experience chills without a fever like you and there can be many different reasons for this possible causes include hypothyearoidism is when a person thyearoid gland does not produce enough hormone that regulates their metabolism some people like you are more sensitive to the cold and may feel chills more frequently any type of viral or bacterial infection sometimes produces chills

peripheral blood film thyearoid function test to ash ribs random blood sugar etc treatment depends on causes so we should find out the exact causes of your suffering and then treat them accordingly I want to add that dehydration anxiety panic attacks may cause chills too when your body does not have enough fluids it is hard to maintain regular body temperature and this can lead to hyperthermia and

it can be done by following below mentioned advice there would be a cuff inflator pipe through which air can be inflated and deflated in and out from the cuff even though the inflated cuff prevents faulty aspiration of fluids from the mouth while swallowing it can also create a necrosis around the trachea thus causing the oesophagus to get connected to it you to need to suction the tube and deflate the cuff every his for 15mins so that this raw surface connecting the two heals and saliva from the tube stops coming for few days the patient might be stopped orally and a rules tube might have to be inserted to feed the patient repeated swallowing can again infect the area and might lead to leak of food also through the tube you can go to the emergency of any hospital to get this tube

sneezing if you look into the physiology sneeze is a protective reflex often in response to something irritative and offensive which the body wants to push out in order to prevent it from reaching the lungs and thereby into the circulation most commonly it is dust but can be attributed to other irritative substances such as animal fur pollen smoke fumes etc what can be done prevention of entry of irritative substances is the key and plays a major role in preventing allergic responses this can be effectively done by wearing an n95 mask most times even while indoors in addition a combination of antihistaminic and asteroidal spray containing azelastine and fluticasone two puffs two times a day does wonder holding a sneeze inside can be lethal as it is high pressure reflux and by holding the sneeze reverse pressure can be created which has no where else to go but above to the cranium thereby an increase in intracranial pressure causing a vessel to rupture resulting in a stroke this is a far possibility but in elderly individuals it can happen and is lethal secondly an increase in intrathoracic pressure can also stimulate the vagus nerve resulting in vasovagal syncope causing a brief

"hello your vitamin a level is marginal rather than low less than 7 or 5 is considered low and up to 05 is considered marginal so you will probably need supplements at a very low dose total intake of up to 10 units daily is unlikely to cause any harmful effects so supplements of 7500 units or even 10 units per day for a month or two would be enough for you I guess you do not have any symptoms of vitamin deficiency like xerophthalmia or visual difficulties where one would need higher doses also for vitamin supplements like calcirol sachet are recommended in dosing of 60 units once a week for eight weeks with milk and following which you may have it once a month for the next six months both these are unlikely to interfere with liver issues considering fatty liver and high alt level you are

weakness in the lower limbs while walking regarding the cause for fatigue I guess the common causes like low hemoglobin be issues any medications deranged kidney function low vitamin deranged blood

are all there in the air that we breathe and usually the body fights back to protect from getting invaded by these organisms everyone has one particular level of immunity some have a weak immune system while some have very strong immunity and can still bear eating junk food and drinking cold drinks all day and still not get an infection it all depends from person to person if your body is

intended to minimize heat damage to the hair that you apply to the hair before you blow dry if these measures are not satisfactory to you then you may wish to consider applying a chemical relaxer to

beef considering fat we miss out on other nutrients too so it is advised to reduce the oil intake like healthy individuals can take half a liter of oil per month if you are two your cooking should be

"Doctor": "hello it looks like your husband is suffering from a condition called phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head or glans of the penis now this can happen due to a number of reasons and can be diagnosed only after examination this usually happens when one does not clean under the foreskin can lead to bacteria fungus or other germs accumulating there when this happens for some time it can lead to balanitis inflammation of the glans or the head of the penis has this happened before tight shiny skin on the glans redness around the glans itchiness or irritation of the glans an unpleasant smell tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back etc when this happens it can lead to phimosis after examination only I will be able to diagnose whether it is balanitis or phimosis and whether this is due to bacteria or fungus or some other cause the treatment varies depending on the findings therefore if the pain is severe it would be best to take him to a urologist and get it examined on the other hand if the penis is red and swollen you should take him to the emergency room if you want I can give you a cream for the pain but if there is infection there is a chance it will become worse I understand there is lockdown but if the pain is not too severe you can wait until lockdown is lifted let me know what you decide and any other

treatment like chemotherapy and it commence three months after the inciting illness so to treat it we have to rule out any disease in the body stop any drug which may be causing their fall if possible avoid smoking alcohol and do mild exercise take a balanced diet and keep yourself stress free medical treatment includes minoxidil twice daily over the scalp tablet calcium pantothenate and biotin preparation daily regain also contains minoxidil foam preparation better but costly this treatment initially is continued for six weeks then we review the progress in androgenetic alopecia it has to be continued until you need hair to be normal because genetically those hairs have to be fall with medical treatment we are only stopping them associated disease or stress should be treated accordingly initially due to minoxidil there is increased hair fall because the hair which will be weak suddenly fall and strong and dense hair at the place grow which takes time and maximum

you should wear otherwise this is very small error you will be able to do most of your tasks without glasses thats unto you yes you can use lenses no lasik is not suggested for such a small number

obvious pathology on examination by endoscopy I must point out that epistaxis can be idiopathic in more than 50 patients this is because certain patients tend to have nasal mucosa far more friable than others and susceptible to even most trivial trauma like nose picking or forceful blowing even minor colds can cause epistaxis however one has to be careful to rule out other causes hypertension is an important cause but that is usually an affliction of elderly at your age one would like to rule out bleeding diathesis did you ever have bleeding from any other site have you done a coagulation profile though you have mentioned blood tests what about liver and renal function tests are you on any medication other than this further deviated nasal septum with spurs can cause epistaxis did mri mention anything like that in case there is nothing to suggest any underlying cause it is likely to be idiopathic and role of precautions become all that necessary one important thing is to prevent your nose from becoming dry as occurs in dry weather and colds you can use liquid paraffin nasal drops to prevent mucosa from becoming dry and friable further you need to avoid blowing hard or frequent cleaning of nose you can also use topical decongestant like xylometazoline 02 if you develop a bleed avoid using them for more than seven days at stretch you can go for a it computed

"hi I have seen your blood works it is all normal usually during the acute attack of gout we do not start allopurinol or uric acid decreasing medications as it can exaggerate the situation we usually start after the acute situation is treated with drugs like nsaids non asteroidal anti inflammatory drugs allopurinol is started with caution if there is liver disease kidney disease diabetes congestive heart failure and high blood pressure are you pregnant or breastfeeding are you receiving chemotherapy drugs allopurinol can decrease the number of blood cells in your body that causes blood clot and that help you fight infections which can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick when exposed to others who are ill it can increase liver enzymes to decrease the blood elements but I have seen your blood works and it is fine if someone has kidney stones due to increased uric acid or recurrent gout episodes or uric acid deposition on soft tissues that is the time usually allopurinol is started and continued I think you do not have these problems you need to decrease your protein intake like less meats fish lentils eggs and avoid diuretics which are used to treat high blood pressure alcohol intake to be reduced as well you told your hba1c glycated hemoglobin is 7 that is pre diabetes or borderline diabetes so better check your fasting sugar and sugar after two hours of eating you need to do exercise even if it is just walking for one hour daily stop or reduce carbohydrates especially sugar in tea and sugary juices bread rice pasta and potatoes

can occur on any hair bearing skin like your beard for most patients the condition resolves without treatment within a year but the hair loss is sometimes permanent the cause of alopecia areata is probably an autoimmune reaction this means the body immune system incorrectly attacks the body own cells in case of alopecia areata the cells under attack are in the hair follicles structure that grow hair especially follicles within hair bearing skin alopecia areata can be resulted from autoimmune disorders such as atop allergy thyearoiditis vitiligo etc even some studies show that stress family history of alopecia vitamin deficiency like biotin vitamin a d etc nutritional deficiency like iron zinc protein etc can also cause alopecia areata for the treatment of alopecia areata you can use

under my tongue and I felt a sudden sour twang through the right side of my mouth and jaw it gradually subsided in intensity and I examined the inside of my mouth for any tender areas or asymmetries under my tongue there was a very slight swelling of my submandibular duct on the right side but no tenderness or anything strange palpable later that night I was eating some chips when I noticed rapidly increasing discomfort in my right jaw earache and pain when swallowing I felt my throat and discovered a golfball sized swelling under my right jaw on the advice of my father who said it sounded like a blocked salivary gland and said he recently had one as well I used warm salt rinses and external warm compresses within a short period of time the swelling reduced by about half and with repeated rinses gradually reduced over the next day until it was minimal since then I have still had a palpable asymmetry when feeling both sides of my jaw and my submandibular gland has not returned to its ordinary size last night I felt discomfort in that area and realized on examination that it was beginning to swell again I quickly used more salt rinses and a compress and the swelling stopped but it remains a bit more enlarged than it has been over the past few days this morning it seems to be fluctuating slightly in size but I hit it with more salt rinses and compresses and it appears to be stable for now though with a slight referred earache the submandibular duct has not seemed particularly swollen since shortly after the first day of symptoms when I noticed a small white spot forming at the head of the duct which disappeared shortly after using salt rinses I infer that this may have been a very small salivary stone pushing its way out I have been eating and drinking somewhat infrequently for the past few weeks due to a major housing disruption that has only recently been resolved so it is my hope that due to a combination of dehydration and infrequent stimulation of the salivary glands I may simply have developed some small salivary stones that could resolve on their own if I am diligent with salt rinses and compresses at no point have I had any sort of fever or foul taste in the mouth nor any symptoms in any other salivary gland besides my right submandibular gland I also recall eating some hard sharp food 10 days ago that had cut my gums here and there through miscalculated bites so it also seems possible that I traumatized the duct at that time although it is strange to me that swelling would be recurring now after relative reduction of symptoms for over a week though as I noted the gland has never fully returned to a non palpable size even at its best I suppose it must sound like I have self assessed the situation reasonably well but due to the recent resurgence of symptoms which I confess may be due to getting lax with salt rinses or proper hydration I just wanted to seek some qualified medical advice as to whether I am doing the right things so far and at what point I should seek treatment if it does not completely subside the only local ent is not available by referral for 10 months so my only alternative would be to go to the er for assessment or attempt to find a general practitioner in the area we just moved here so we had to leave our old go behind both options are bad for exposure given the current pandemic and my wife is a very high risk individual so I am doing my best to limit exposure unless I cannot help it thank you for listening and for any advice you can lend", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi you have assessed the condition in the best manner any patient could do so considering the problem out there like you have rightly put it looks like we are dealing with an infected gland sialolith or a traumatised duct in all three cases I suggest you to follow the advice mentioned below hydration is the key keep drinking to litres of boiled warm water every day whether your thirsty or not salt water gargles to 10 times a day for month will definetely go a long way you can consider antibiotic clindamycin 300 my three times a day for days this antibiotic has the property of getting excreted majorly through the alive and majorly reaches the salivary glands a shade more than other antibiotics please eat on time spicy oily and junk food have to be avoided at all times for the next one month an ultrasound of the glands is definitely mandatory to see if there is any impacted stone parenchymal issue etc but to be done only once the pandemic subsides considering that you should not be going to hospital for risk of acquiring an infection this will take a while for it to subside but chiefly depends on how much you happen to follow the above advice hope this helps get well soon" }, { "Paitent": "hello I

obsessively and my symptoms worsened I thought I started to hear voices after reading about them but actually at most they are silent thoughts that occasionally mock me I have random words pop into my mind at odd occasions after reading about paranoias I seem to be developing them too I get scared or threatened by people for no reason I am more concerned about the fact that why am I getting scared of people rather than actually scared of them I feel extremely detached from reality like I am just going through the motions I am extremely tired and sleepy throughout the day my appetite has declined completely I cannot do anything I visited four doctors and all told me that I have extreme anxiety and depression can anxiety and depression cause these symptoms can being a hypochondriac lead to this when I talk to a friend on the phone I have an engaging conversation laugh and cheer up and then I think should I feel threatened by him am I losing control I speak fluently and I go about my activities fine most of the symptoms that I have developed have been after I got to know about the symptoms on the internet and obsessed over them I constantly cry about what has happened to my life and why did this happen to me so what is happening to me moreover these symptoms come and go in 10 days", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I read your query with keen interest and understand your concerns first of all I must assure you that there is no evidence of disease called schizophrenia in your case schizophrenia is often presented with different kind of prodromal symptoms and they do not match to your current symptoms having said this the symptoms are more indicative of anxiety disorder with added obsessive and compulsive behavior this is more likely as you are already suffering with hypochondriasis which is again a disorder from same spectrum of psychiatric disorders like obsessive compulsive disorder I also like to inform you that stress anxiety and depression can present with symptoms mentioned in the query and there is no doubt about that for your clarification worsening of symptoms and spontaneous remission of symptoms are indicative of obsession rather than psychosis such as schizophrenia in my opinion it is time for you to engage in therapeutic process rather than moving from one doctor to another as constant approach will bring out the positive outcomes for further information consult a psychiatrist online" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor I am 34 years old I always have regular periods with a 28 day cycle I have pregnancy like symptoms for the

and maybe you can help me out before three years I applied noritate and diana to my face my skin in general was fine I had only one area of pigmentation on my face right side of face inch as that was noticeable I asked a dermatologist if there was anything that I could do to lighten it she gave me tri luma I decided to put the tri luma on the affected area and also a few freckles on my upper cheeks the next day I became extremely red and out of fear of triggering my rosacea I dropped tri luma immediately then after a month I stopped taking diana because I moved back to a colder climate and my face was getting too dry after some eight months the area of pigmentation right side of cheek was started getting darker so I decided to give another try for tri luma I again applied it to the larger area of pigmentation and to the tiny freckles on my upper cheeks the decision to apply it to the freckles was purely a cosmetic decision the next day those freckles turned into full blown pigmentation I immediately stopped the tri luma and the pigmentation in those areas has basically been there up to present day at that time a local dermatologist had suggested me to apply some cortisone cream to the areas to lighten them up the pigmentation subsided very minimally I did not apply the cortisone cream thereafter the pigmentation from this point waxed and waned in intensity up until two months back then it has remained prominent there were a few times during this two year span where my perioral dermatitis flared up and I was told to restart diana which also made the pigmentation worse I was unsure whether the diana was bringing the pigmentation to the surface or whether it was in fact making it worse I went to two dermatologists who had differing views of stop diana and keep using diana I decided to stop as it appeared to be getting noticeably worse again I do not know if this was a whole process of bringing the pigmentation to the surface or not please

age too you have the chance of pregnancy but lesser than the age of 35 years after 40 years of age the chance of pregnancy further reduce as the age of lady increases the eggs left behind are not as

advances the maternal ovarian reserve comes down which means the number of eggs a female has come down endometriosis is a disease that not only affects the ovaries but later causes adhesions which also hamper your chance for pregnancy it is also notorious to recur putting all these together the chances of a natural pregnancy comes down though definitely not impossible but the medical advice here and the ideal thing would be not to lose too much time and go in for art procedures like if in vitro fertilization because once the maternal ovarian reserve becomes too low the chances of pregnancy in an if cycle also becomes less so it would be ideal not to waste time and think of approaching any of the if centers also I would like to add that this couid time is not the right time to

high dose hormones contained in I pill and the present cycle we do not know when exactly you ovulate so it is better to take a preventive method as precautions although repeated emergency contraceptive pills are not advised please use a more consistent method of birth control in the future like condoms and oral contraceptive pills which give a wider window of safe period and also would not disturb the menstrual cycles like emergency contraceptive pills I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am a year old female I have some mouth and throat concerns I have ulcers sore throat occasional oral thrush difficulty swallowing lump on the throat larynx night sweats fever loose teeth and abnormal discoloration in mouth I am currently on birth control patch dextro amphetamine and cymbalta I have been struggling for months now with quite a few mouth and throat issues I have constant mouth ulcers that are taking weeks to heal I get the sensation that I have not swallowed something completely down and that it stuck so I will keep swallowing and swallowing it drives me mad it is not easy for me to keep doing this because swallowing feels harder than it should be almost like my throat is too swollen I have a sore throat 80 of the time I have odd waves of oral thrush and my mouth also has pale and red areas on my soft palate my hard palate is just very pale I have a couple of loose teeth but otherwise in very good shape frequent random nose bleeds that are usually heavy but can be light at times night sweats every night and feeling easily overheated during the days I have also now become more concerned since my throat developed a hard lump on the top of my larynx it feels very swollen where it is almost like it is ready to explode it does not move and it stays firm putting a lot of pressure on my throat I am assuming this is why it feels hard to swallow it does not hurt but if I push on it to feel the firmness it causes discomfort to the surroundings mostly underneath the lump", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi first and foremost I would advise you not to panic or get disheartened according to me there is no major issue out there and we usually encounter such issues very often in our outpatient department now looking at your case oral ulcers can be due to various causes right from nutritional and vitamin deficiencies to infections or repeated trauma getting each and every parameter tested often becomes extremely expensive and might frustrate you even more coming to your second major concern difficulty in swallowing with no major pain as such can be due to some ulcers down in your throat or infection in your pharynx throat or constant gastric irritation advice consider taking a good multivitamin for two to three months follow a healthy hygienic lifestyle avoid smoking alcohol etc avoid having spicy oily and junk food items salt water gargles at least to 10 times a day you should keep your oral cavity free from contaminating organisms and hence the throat infection keep sipping on boiled warm water consider antireflux therapy if you have the slightest of reflux issues get your viral markers for hiv hbsag and blood sugars done too do not google too much of your symptoms out 10 do not correlate too many unnecessary things and do not take stress at any cost sometimes stress can be responsible for non healing

two years her thyearoid has been managed and she stopped taking to her cardiologist told her about 10 years ago to start taking inderal propranolol 20 my per day divided in a two time dose because she had palpitations and some arrhythmias she had an echo egg about a year ago and her heart was fine and her cardiologist suggested stopping inderal but being a very anxious person and having frequently anxiety tachycardia she did not stop it which brings me to the present having been diagnosed the past six months by her pulmonologist with allergic rhinitis asthma and having frequent wheezing episodes even though she takes antihistamines when the episodes occur shouldn she change her beta blocker to a cardio selective one she finds herself not being able to breathe while on inderal but the symptoms reappear when she takes it what would you recommend as a cardioselective beta blocker would it be safe to change from inderal to let us say atenolol if yes how would she do it", "input": "",

tablet inderal at first point what kind of arrhythmia it was and all in order to evaluate does she really need to continue any beta blocker as your cardiologist year ago after cardiac evaluation did not find any reason to continue the medication as per your history as we see in a day to day practice patients with palpitations just due to anxiety or stress and without any cardiac issue non selective beta blockers would definitely aggravate her symptoms be you have mentioned in your description is wrong I guess as it appears to be 12 20 something might be a type error but looks normal to me for time being you can change the beta blocker to a selective beta blocker like metaprolol 12 my or nebivolol 5 my or atenelol 25 my on a very low dose get her evaluated again with her cardiac reports whenever possible and if not required better to slowly taper her beta blocker medication and stop as well because though cardioselective beta blockers has some or minimal effect on beta receptors as well even I would advise to start meditation and yoga to overcome her anxiety issue that will help her in controlling palpitations if they are related would like to review her all previous and recent cardiac records to further discuss and clarify management strategy" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I was diagnosed with ofa and parasomnia sleepwalking I have been on crap for

a contact lens wearer this could be a corneal ulcer those present the same way as an anterior uveitis anterior uveitis again there is nothing over the counter for this if you indeed have an anterior uveitis it would need to be treated with prescription steroid drops and we need to be careful with steroid drops if you have an eye infection the steroid will make the eye infection much worse and

had it before and what response there has been to treatment also it is important to know if a doctor has seen you for this problem in the past whether you smoke or drink and whether or not you have other medical problems for which you regularly take medicine there can be many reasons for upper abdominal chest pain in your age group I will list them for you as well as the most common treatments if none of these help you would need to contact us again with more information gastritis ulcer disease can cause severe pain and sometimes bleeding in the upper abdomen you might have dark stools feel dizzy from loss of blood or have lots of soreness to touch in your belly often patients do better when they stop taking any pain medicines like aspirin or ibuprofen which can irritate the stomach and use a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole 20 my 30 minutes before breakfast every day for weeks some people use a 2 teaspoon of baking soda in a 120 my glass of warm water which can help but is not used regularly another problem is acid reflux it is very similar to gastritis but usually causes heartburn as the acid goes up into the esophagus in the chest it also responds well to omeprazole abdominal pain can come from stress which irritates the large intestine loperamide often will help that pain usually 4 my at a time when you feel the paint up to times a day a stomach and intestinal infection can cause pain it is usually accompanied by diarrhea and sometimes fever most stomach infections respond to loperamide and increasing your fluids gallbladder disease stones can cause intense pain especially after meals that are fatty this problem is best diagnosed by having an ultrasound done and seeing a surgeon pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas which is often caused by drinking alcohol there is often very severe pain and vomiting patients can get better by stopping any alcohol and not eating for 2 days often they need to see the doctor lastly couid 19 the virus which is causing the pandemic worldwide can cause diarrhea fever and cough it is always wise to think about whether or not you have had contact with a patient who was diagnosed with the virus and

the face hence the referred associated pain taking painkillers will help control the pain to some extent but it does nothing to cure the decay it can only be manually treated by removing them you may require an ray procedure to determine the extent of the decay and if the nerve of the tooth is involved a root canal treatment is generally done to remove infections and decay since it is the time of

evaluated further this is a test that determines the risk which means it is only a screening test and not a confirmatory test meaning the baby may or may not be affected by down but the risk appears to be high compared to the normal population it would have been helpful if you had the shared few more details like your period of gestation of your pregnancy when and at what gestation was the test taken and any previous scan reports in the first trimester you have done kindly share the reports to guide you better and also provide details if you had any previous pregnancy or miscarriages etc now coming to confirming this for definitive and accurate methods it includes amniocentesis with karyotyping and fish test which are little expensive tests and not done in all individuals except those with high risk for down syndrome for this test to be done the water around the baby inside the uterus is taken in a small amount which contains the shed cells of the baby and are cultured so as to do the chromosomal analysis of the cells this is an invasive test as it comes with the risk of 2 risk of miscarriage as we are putting a needle inside the uterus another recently introduced test which almost as closely accurate to this is nip noninvasive prenatal test which is again a screening test but highly accurate and involves only testing your blood for fetal cell free dna and then they are

to anxiety as well as citalopram what is important is that you mention having them before initiating citalopram so it is unlikely to be due to the drug if it is occasional then you should rather not bother yourself because twitching intermittently is there even in an otherwise healthy individuals what is important is your sensation of forgetting to swallow this is drug induced akathisia or abnormal movement citalopram is known to have abnormal sensation restricted to tongue also hence if you feel that this is bothersome and progressing then you may change the medicine but my experience is that my is a very small dose to be causing side effects these symptoms are due to your anxiety as twitching was there before too and improved with magnesium your habit of throat clearing along with anxiety may be the cause of your feeling of forgetting how to swallow I have personally seen people having this because of acidity with reflux people with a habit of gulping food etc in many simple life situations I would rather like you to assure and to get relaxed with behavioral techniques and meditation if possible if it still persists then change of medications may be considered as far as als amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is considered I can only say that it requires nav nerve conduction test egg electromyography and mri magnetic resonance imaging for definitive diagnosis about have a

help in this it is necessary to involve in enough foreplay before actual penetration it helps in stimulating your genital glands to provide proper lubrication for penetration normally the walls of the vagina stay lubricated with a thin layer of clear fluid the hormone estrogen helps to maintain that fluid and keeps the lining of your vagina healthy thick and elastic a drop in estrogen levels reduces the amount of moisture available it can happen at any age from a number of different causes it may seem like a minor irritation but the lack of vaginal moisture can have a huge impact on your

has two main complications one is complications during surgery including bleeding infection and losing voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve damage and you will need thyearoid hormone for the rest of your life for hypothyearoidism about radioiodine it is one of the best treatments nowadays available right now it has a very low chance of malignancy which may be negligible it can cause

your periods now interval and amount of bleed normal or reduced are you breast feeding have you ever gotten pap smear done sometimes dryness may be due to allergy and anti allergic medications that probably you could have taken due to pharyngitis its necessary to involve in enough foreplay before actual penetration it helps in stimulating your genital glands to provide proper lubrication for penetration normally the walls of the vagina stay lubricated with a thin layer of clear fluid the hormone estrogen helps maintain that fluid and keeps the lining of your vagina healthy thick and elastic a drop in estrogen levels reduces the amount of moisture available it can happen at any age from a number of different causes it may seem like a minor irritation but the lack of vaginal moisture can have a huge impact on your sex life fortunately several treatments are available to relieve vaginal dryness you can use my jelly locally in and around vagina before attempting intercourse an internal injury is unlikely but please follow up with a gynaecologist if pain or bleeding is severe to get an examination done please use tab doll 650 to ease off pain and hot water bag around lower abdomen during menses to avoid cramps and the jelly I prescribed above to help reduce discomfort during intercourse since menses are heavy your estrogen levels are not sufficient so no hormone

questions for you have you observed this on the back of your throat for the first time in the past did you have a similar issue have you been in contact with anyone who had respiratory tract infection recently do you have a fever or a cough sometimes this type of swelling is a result of an allergic reaction to some specific food or allergen which can be triggered after you consume anything cold as far as there is no pain and difficulty swallowing food and water you do not need to worry much although keep a check on it for a week or two and see if there is any change in the swelling you can gargle with warm water and adding little salt in it for four to five times a day and avoid eating anything cold for some duration feel free to contact me if you observe any change in the swelling and

not have any issues in maintaining hygiene or having sex except sometimes if my foreskin stretches and it is dry I feel a bit of pain and discomfort what I would like to add is that I am straight and married for the past eight years and in those eight years I only had sex with my wife not sure how long is the maximum incubation of condyloma or papulosis and does it exclude it also it mentions that condyloma is cauliflower shape which I am not sure about these spots one closer to glans is totally flat and the other one that has a shape of a mole is slightly above the skin but I cannot say it is cauliflower shaped could you please let me know do you agree with your colleagues opinion I am very cancerophobic if that is even a word for a person who is generally scared of cancers so my main

rest and cardiac pain would persist for a few minutes rather than seconds and does not remain round the clock intermittent chest pains may not be cardiac such pains are usually due to acid reflux acid reflux pain occurs more frequently in lying down position occurs intermittently persists for a few seconds to minutes so yours may be related to it other gastric symptoms may be associated like epigastric pain bloating and burping etc another possibility should be considered is of costochondritis if there is definite tenderness over the chest wall see if you also have any neck pain tingling numbness etc for cervical pains regarding dizziness it is likely postural hypotension this may occur due to dehydration so keep yourself well hydrated and have a proper diet if you have a be apparatus then should check your blood pressure be now if shortness of breath is significant then this needs early evaluation with examination and tests like egg electrocardiography and echo so your symptoms

more than two glasses of wine a day or a whole bottle without it hindering the healing process after my dermapen session of micro needling and also because I was occasionally drinking a few bottles of beer after I had gotten it done does that mean my healing time has to be longer than six weeks by the way I did my acne scar regions with 0 my needles", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi alcohol use can diminish wound healing it increases the blood flow so it can also cause bleeding excessive alcohol intake also reduces the immunity of the body which can lead to delayed wound healing same principle applied to micro needling micro needling is also a small type of injuries created in the facial skin so that the healing process makes a healthy smooth skin and remove the scar so if you take alcohol during that process alcohol is going to affect that healing process and it can lead to infection so I advise that you should completely avoid alcohol if possible a small amount of one glass of beer per day can be taken if you cannot control your urge to take alcohol I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I had a cough since the start this month but it was just a dry cough it has got

almost every day due to post nasal drip I take allergy medication cetirizine but it does not seem to help I have tried other techniques like lavage and have tried thinning my mucus by drinking more water as advised by all the medical web sites all the explanations I read online say that post nasal drip is caused by a thickening of the mucus that the mucus membranes make about a quart a day of mucus which normally is thin enough to slide down the throat unnoticed and ends up in the stomach but if it is too thick it is noticeable and it ends up going down the windpipe and needs to be brought up through coughing here is what I do not understand normally the passage that is open is the trachea the epiglottis only closes when swallowing and furthermore it is behind the esophagus so why the thin mucus which is sliding down our throat unnoticed does not go down into our lungs it makes no sense if I do not notice it and thus do not consciously swallow it how does it go down the esophagus it should be the opposite please suggest", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I am so delighted to read your query my initial thoughts were that you were kidding but when I thought I realized how beautifully you have thought about the question we need to know about mucociliary clearance direction of mucus movement closure of airway by the epiglottis supraglottis and by the glottis mucociliary movement occurs towards the throat and that is what brings the mucus towards the throat like you said when the mucus gets thick due to allergy or infection or rhinitis one gets a feeling of the movement cilia are small brush like extensions from cells which beat in a particular direction so as to drive the mucus film over the cilia towards the throat from the throat the brush border epithelium that is the ciliated columnar respiratory epithelium pushes the mucus towards the pyeariform fossa preferentially the epiglottis and aryepiglottic fold and the inter arytenoid region form the supraglottic closure which acts as the first check point towards aspirating one own saliva the next check point is the glottis or the vocal cords which remain closed to prevent aspiration in such times when the mucus drip is constant and thick then some microaspirations occur due to the nature of the mucus as well as due to any lax behavior of the closures causing some cough or chest infection you must understand that the vocal cords trachea and the respiratory pathways further below are also lined by ciliated epithelium which also have a mucus layer on top of them this mucus layer traps smaller particles which

your popping sound from joints let me tell you it has nothing to do with stomach related issues if you are thinking of gas from the stomach causing this then forget it as it is not the cause hoping

if you did not do ultra scan then get it done you should bleed but if not then either you had wrong pills or pills did not work and will require surgical abortion you need to consult a nearby gynecologist or abortion center one rare chance is to have an ectopic pregnancy if you did not do an ultrasound scan but if it was there then you should have more pain in the lower abdomen on one side it will clear in the next ultra scan in that case treatment may vary after bleeding starts you should take oh anti 150 ug injection within 72 hours because we do not know the fetus blood group do drink more water and if you did not do ultrasound scan then you can repeat the urine pregnancy test also because sometimes kits also come faulty and give false positive results so to compare or confirm you can repeat" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am a female aged 34 years a year ago I did pyloric test which came positive and the doctor gave me weeks antibiotics course and then I did not

me", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to ilciniq com with the given data it is difficult to tell which test was done to confirm pyloric if it was a stool antigen test or a breath test rarely done or a serum test given that you mentioned it came out positive anyways you need to take a pyloric eradication kit which includes antibiotics along with a pi plus one more agent depending on physicians preference as you are on weeks of antibiotics you should get your self tested again for pyloric with stool antigen test if it is negative you do not need to take anymore antibiotics otherwise you will need another 10 days of different set of antibiotics or you can take more weeks of antibiotics and repeat test again but the symptoms you are having might not get better with pyloric eradication they might be due to acid reflux which is totally different from pyloric you should get your self evaluated with an upper gi endoscopy and rule out herd you should avoid fatty food and exercise regularly

unless there is associated infection of middle ear or fluid in the middle ear since you do not have pain it is unlikely to be due to infection of middle ear so possible cause can be fluid in the middle ear glue ear which is usually due to long standing eustachian tube dysfunction most of the times it is a self resolving condition treatment for this condition is symptomatic with anti vertigo medicines such as cinnarazine or betahistine taken every day for a week for fluid in the middle ear you can use decongestant nose sprays such as oxymetazoline or xylometazoline steam inhalation two

likely to completely normalize your be so if home be remains elevated more than 140 90 mhg after 5 my ramipril then it has to make twice daily next regarding sugar it is not very well controlled especially post meals now I do not know whether you were tried initially on any medications or not if not then medications should be tried now metformin is a basic and most important medication for it so you should discuss with your doctor regarding initiating it also you will need add on drugs as metformin alone will not be sufficient which includes teneliglipitin and glimepiride which comes in combination of metformin if medications are not feasible at the moment then dose of bolus insulin which is delivered with each meals should be increased by two units in order to take care of post meals surge so that you are able to have proper diet also regarding pains it is likely a neuropathy due to deranged sugars for that sugars should be tightly controlled and you will need supplements like neurobion forte once daily if this does respond to multivitamin supplements then you will need nerve stabilizers like pregabalin etc also your triglycerides level is too much elevated for that you need to have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty oily foods have regular exercises like brisk walking for at least 30 minutes a day this will also bring your sugar level down also you will need medications here to control triglycerides like tablet fenofibrate 145 my bedtime daily for eight weeks there are some issues and there is good scope for improvement also you should undergo tit

believe this began when I stopped wearing them 24 and particularly when I switched to wearing them every other night I have noticed that my jaw is asymmetrical and perhaps small particularly on the res may be a link to why I was initially getting tension symptoms on the res so maybe invisalign causes issues stretches small and asymmetric jaws excessively or I have some random unexplained predisposition to my jaw getting confused by regularly changing bites or something still think the latter may have something to do with the former I just wanted to inform you of this as I have been

are mostly related to taj the reason may be that you can not bite on your teeth and you are now biting on invisalign and this can increase your bite where it normally was the best in my opinion will be to consult your orthodontist if you can pause your treatment stop wearing invisalign rest your jaw for as long as you can like do not eat hard or crunchy or sticky food soft diet no prolong talking

couple of months over the night but for the last three nights it keeps repeating I would like to say that I have no problems with drugs marijuana etc I have never used all of this I already told to my doctor but she did not take me seriously enough they did take photos of my brain and I do not have injuries I would also just like to mention that I have very low sugar so do not know if it could be related to my memory my doctor advised me nothing about that she only said that she does not know how I am alive with such low sugar but that it did not matter because I am young please help",

permanent crown installed as a last step my temporary crown is still in and functioning fine and I was able to acquire my permanent crown before entering quarantine and thus have it with me I have heard oral infections can be dangerous and I am mostly navigating around avoiding danger but obviously I am going into town to get dental work done is also dangerous nowadays I would like to understand how much more likely I am to get an infection or some other serious complication if I end up going without a crown for a couple of months especially given I have had an endodontic treatment of the relevant tooth I have dental cement and I am similarly curious whether doing an at home cementing of the crown would be protective or dangerous", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I have gone through your query and understand your concern firstly going without a permanent crown but with a temporary crown in place does not going to cause any serious complications to make this more clear I would like to explain the need for a permanent crown after a root canal treatment once the tooth is root canal treated and the infected pulp tissues removed the tooth becomes dehydrated and is more prone to fractures or chip offs and secondary infections if left uncovered the tooth is ideally shaped and reduced to receive a crown so going without a crown could actually lead to sutra eruption of the opposing tooth so a root canal tooth has to be covered with some sort of crown to prevent chip offs secondary infections and sutra eruption generally a ceramic or a zirconia crown which can withstand our enormous biting force is installed to protect the underlying tooth since the fabrication of such a crown takes time a temporary or a little less hard crown is installed meanwhile this can withstand and stay in place for a couple of weeks depends on the crown and cement material but if on following certain instructions you can expect it to come a little extra longer than that maybe a couple of months avoid biting hard and chewy foods hard foods can cause the temporary crown to crack and chewy and sticky foods tend to dislodge the crown fruit seeds nuts chewing gum cheesy foods burgers etc brush gently and skip flossing for that tooth keep your permanent crown safe probably after a couple of months let us hope the situation gets fine and you can get it fixed safely please do follow these and let us expect it to come a little longer let this pandemic settle and you can get the permanent crown fixed right away and it is not advisable to do an at home permanent crown fixing procedure because permanent crowns are strong and are not malleable and adaptable so if fixed in a very slightly different way could change your bite and cause jaw issues and tooth pain sometimes at the doctor office the permanent crowns will be adjusted and refinished a little before fixing to bring a proper and stable bite so fixing at home is not a good idea and just in case if this temporary crown decements by accident do not worry this is not going to cause serious trouble in the future I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my question is about the coronavirus I have been

permanent solution this filling can last anywhere between three to seven years if this filling fractures in the future you may require a new filling in its place however the longevity of this filling depends on our maintenance this will best suit if the gap between the two teeth is less than my the option that best suits you is determined by the amount of gap present general oral hygiene and your

getting blood for that so if the flow is compromised even a day we do not know if any damage has occurred this may not be visible on any scan but it would be safe to immediately stop smoking and start

any issue with erections or sexual health when I turned 20 I had an episode with my girlfriend where over two consecutive nights we had no sex but rather very prolonged foreplay due to the prolonged arousal my erection stayed for most of the night without ejaculation this episode of two prolonged erections and arousal obviously hurt my penis as it went through some visible changes back then both in shape and feeling while it was not painful it lost some thickness and the side erectile tissue eventually lost some elasticity becoming somewhat hardened in a flaccid state since a slight curvature initially appeared I can only guess this was peyearonies eventually in the course of some years it did recover partially and as of now there is practically no curvature at all however the erectile tissue is still not as it used to be somewhat hardened and when I have an erection the blood seems to get trapped in a way in both sides of the penis while the glans have difficulties getting sufficient blood and arousal and often remains softer I have no problems getting and maintaining an erection myself but when being with a partner it tends to be more difficult and the erection often goes away quickly if not actively stimulated the softer glans often leads to less control and premature ejaculation I assume I may have gotten some degree of penile fibrosis which was triggered by the episode of prolonged erection when I was 20 my question is would there be a natural way to help reduce this tissue hardening and enhance regular blood flow particularly to the glans since this is not a serious issue and it seems the damage was not that substantial I still have morning erections for example and the feeling is often close to normal I would be looking to some natural therapy with as little side effects as possible I read about some allegedly very good results of combining arginine and pine bark extract when it comes to enhancing erection quality overall would you happen to know about this or could you recommend some other natural treatment options which would not cause any other health issues my main concern would be getting priapism due to some medicine like viagra as it

progressive exposure to more sexual experience the quality of erection goes down but a person becomes more confident to satisfy a female for a female the way of doing sex and getting her to orgasm is

had done audiometry and there was a slight loss of hearing in one ear lately I chanced to read up on some forums and have found that there are various medications that are being tried for tinnitus tinnicar pinko biloba complamina retard so etc can you suggest in your opinion what I should take to reduce or end the tinnitus what dosage and for how long and for pinko biloba which is the best

nose and my ears are blocked this is not very troubling however this causes a loud buzzing sound in my left ear which is what gets me terrified because of my already existing sinus problem the sinus stuffiness and buzzing stays for a few days even if the nose blockage and stuffiness goes away it takes a few days and I have seen that exposure to heat and hot areas makes the buzzing subside quicker however even after the buzzing sound is gone my tinnitus gets and stays louder than normal for an additional few more days this used to happen regularly every few weeks however now it has become a

mainly focuses on times I have been paranoid or times I have visualized things as something else examples when slacking off at work thinking what if there are cameras in the office or internet tracking software when having a bad intrusive thought thinking what if someone around me can read my thoughts and thinks I am crazy seeing the silhouette of something really far away and imagining it is something else like a door stopper from very far away looks like the shape of a bird or a sandbag propped in the shape of a cat these are just a couple of examples that make me fear I am paranoid delusional or on the edge of hallucinating things there are other ones along those same lines that pop up on random occasions that I do not necessarily believe 100 but the possibility still causes me anxiety then the fact that they cause me anxiety causes me even more anxious after the fact wondering if these are paranoid or delusional thoughts I have talked to my therapist about these fears in the past but I may have left something out or not brought up these examples in clear enough detail she does not believe I have schizophrenia I also have talked to a psychiatrist and she told me these types of paranoid ideas may occur in anxiety or depression I am just terrified that paranoia is not a symptom of ocd and my poor vision cannot explain the minor visual imaginings not even hallucinations just premature constructions of shapes outlines and that I am not taking appropriate action to combat a much deeper mental illness my only issue with my thoughts is that they did not occur after I started fearing schizophrenia I have always had general anxiety they all have happened throughout my past after I started fearing schizophrenia I combed through my memories to try to find evidence that I am developing it and in that ruination process I picked out all the times I have had paranoid thoughts though I usually do not believe the thoughts or hold them to be true I still get anxious at what if I am hoping that is the defining characteristic that proves they are products of anxiety and ocd versus schizophrenia am I schizophrenic could it be just anxiety I also have an uncle who is schizophrenic and that always scares me does it mean I am too", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello thank you for such a detailed history it makes things very clear I will sum up the main clinching reason why you do not have schizophrenia you have insight means you know what is wrong with you and you can attribute a reasonable logical cause to this and know where to seek help this is not the case with schizophrenics they do not have insight into the paranoia they will believe it is real this is an anxiety spectrum disorder and this over inclusive repetitive thinking can also happen in ocd obsessive compulsive disorder as well as a generalized anxiety disorder treatment for both essentially remains the same only the dosages differ a little do not worry this is not schizophrenia also do not keep in mind that schizophrenia has a higher chance of transmission from parents having an uncle with schizophrenia means you just share some genetic component keep in mind that the same gene is responsible for schizophrenia autism bipolar disorder and depression anxiety so if your uncle has schizophrenia that means you can have some sort of mental illness either something as mild as anxiety or as severe as schizophrenia please get started on sari selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or sari serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor type of medicines in addition to your therapy if you have not undergone some sessions of cut cognitive behavioral therapy please do that with a clinical psychologist since it will help you manage the symptoms of anxiety

strange mental sensations including what felt like a rush of intelligence as well as frequently repeating thoughts and unexplainable strange thoughts not distressing more like feelings of another time

either nip or cos or I can forgo these tests should I take ecospirin 150 as my previous pregnancy did not have any complications and at present also I am in good condition with no health issues also I do not drink and smoke are there any issues with my beta hug and pa a value do you see any other concerns in my report please reply", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I have seen the report now every laboratory has its own calculation methods to come to a risk ratio after the test hug and papp a levels are also different at different times of pregnancy and also has some effects of weight and age on it this is a genetic screening test and we do this test to find out what is the risk of this pregnancy having a congenital abnormal baby specifically downs edward turner and patau syndromes this risk ratio has cut off values means trisomy 21 downs has a risk ratio of 365 in your case and cut off is 250 now with this report we are calculating the risk of having a baby with downs syndrome is in 365 pregnancy with your age and with the test and ultrasound reports you have we are calculating the risk and the report is always low risk or high risk there is never no risk practically also after doing all available tests we never can rule out all the possible abnormalities in the baby cos chorionic villas sampling and sometimes amniocentesis are 100 if they found baby dna in the procedure to rule out that the baby does not have trisomy 21 or other major chromosomal anomalies that does not mean all genetic abnormalities are ruled out both of these procedures also have some risk of abortion during or after and that is why we advise these test in high risk double marker nip non invasive prenatal testing is also a screening test like double marker but the test is less risky as compared to cos and amniocentesis but at the same time more costly and test sensitivity to rule out trisomy 21 and other is 99 after all these details you must be confused now other trisomies are definitely low risk but in case of trisomy 21 your report is 365 and which is somewhat near cut off 250 ideally I advise further testing of cos and amniocentesis if the value is below cut off value but 365 is also near the cut off value so it is a debatable issue 365 means that out of 365 pregnancy 364 will be normal and pregnancy will have trisomy 21 secondly you can start ecosprin tablets we usually start it in some high risk patients if you have pregnancy after 30 years then you come under high risk group so you should start it in cos there is chance of bleeding inside and that is why your gynecologist does not ask to start it if you are going for cos and every pregnancy is different and we cannot say that if previous pregnancy did not have any problem nor the baby has any problem then this pregnancy will not have anything wrong yes we can say that if previous pregnancy was normal then there is somewhat more chance that this pregnancy will also normal go through all details two or three times to understand it properly and then ask anything if you have more questions I hope this helps I am not able to open it scan report yes but the second report is saying that it is 93 and nasal bone is seen mostly these two sonography markers are also used to calculate the risk in double marker apart from hug beta human chorionic gonadotropin and papp a pregnancy associated plasma protein a both

necrosis of the hip is usually due to a number of causes prolonged steroid intake is one of them the treatment of an hips ranges from rest core decompression and eventually hip replacement since you have had stage and in your respective hips core decompression was a good choice this procedure involves drilling one larger hole or several smaller holes into the femoral head to relieve pressure in the bone and create channels for new blood vessels to nourish the affected areas of the hip when osteonecrosis of the hip is diagnosed early core decompression is sometimes successful in preventing the collapse of the femoral head and the development of arthritis core decompression is often combined with bone and cartilage grafting to help regenerate healthy bone and support cartilage at the hip joint a bone graft is a healthy bone tissue that is transplanted to an area of the body where it is needed the tissue may be taken from a donor allograft or from another bone in your body autograft

by book and by practice so far for strengthening the gums as healthy gums will grow they will attach to tooth more firmly change your brushing habit do brush with very light hand pressure this canine tooth root exposure as is evident in the picture clearly indicates that while brushing unconsciously more pressure or harsh brushing is done at this corner of the mouth so if this is the case try breaking down your habit this will prevent gum from going down further at this stage extraction is not recommended take brufen 400 my twice a day for three days this will cover the inflammatory condition at the gum line of this sensitive tooth now get slight scaling done of this area and get neck filling done again this will save the tooth do not brush this area as it is very sensitive oral gel revomet plus metronidazole and chlorhexidine gel can help with swollen gums put at the affected part thrice a day for five days do all these recommended things and please give me followup after five days I hope this helps acidic oh of mouth due to stomach problem and hard brushing habit it would be very helpful if a pa ray is done of lower right canine filling act root canal treatment filling and scaling medications plus scaling followed by filling I need follow up right after five days" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am in 24th day post possible hiv exposure it was a broken

which you underwent on day and 16 was definitely the best available test for that duration and you can surely rely upon the results this test is highly sensitive for this duration to catch the infection if there had been any exposure as far as the timing of this test is concerned it is conclusive as early as 14 days post infection unlike the other tests this will always give a positive result as long as there is hiv in someone is blood also if there had been an hiv infection hiv antibodies must be present in the person blood studies have shown that the majority of the hiv antibodies develop in two to eight weeks period if there had been any exposure to hiv furthermore I suggest you to undergo an hiv antibody test also and at this time you can undertake fourth generation hiv rapid

more disc problems in the lumbar area especially in la s1 that is complicated by spondylolisthesis I spinal body sliding nevertheless as I said none of them is related to vertigo your vertigo is a benign paroxysmal peripheral vertigo bppv that is caused due to a benign problem in one of your horizontal semicircular canal in the inner ear in simple words one of your sensors which reports the brain any horizontal rotation of the head suffers from a temporary problem and gives exaggerated data to the brain I agree with the prescribed medicine except the antibiotic azithromycin that seems unnecessary if you do not have a fever or ear pain the key treatment is not medicine please accept my advice and do not avoid the head movement that triggers your vertigo in contrast repeat it more and more in every try you will notice that the severity of vertigo will lessen it is similar to seasickness by repeating the movement and sending exaggerated data by your ear your brain habits the

placed in both ears when I was younger and more recent before few years after the tubes were removed both ear drums were left with holes in them which have been closed with surgery in the left ear there was only one tympanoplasty done as for the right ear there was a fat plug done and failed next there was a tympanoplasty which also failed finally a neurotologist preformed another tympanoplasty with cartilage back up and it has taken within the last three months I have had fluid in the left ear twice and prednisone has been used once I was flying and caused barotrauma from being sick and flying the other was just fluid sitting there which is still there after 12 days of prednisone also I have been told to take amoxicillin three times the last three months only I did it with the barotrauma as there was blood sitting behind the ear now I have got three different opinions from ent doctors and still I am confused as to what to try the normal ent that has done all but the last surgery where he made me go elsewhere because he was not comfortable trying again and said the hearing in my right ear has gotten worse from the last hearing test I do not have a copy of the most recent hearing test he wants to put a hole in the right ear the neurotologist was for putting a tube in the right after surgery as there was fluid behind the ear drum but he has left the country so my choices are limited to go back to him I have been traveling back and forth 12 hours each way for the last few months and driving after the barotrauma is getting pain in the left ear now the second doctor opinion he said that he would not recommend tubes as both ear drums are intact he recommended for an allergy test if it helps at all I have been using flonase as well continuously all three doctors said to do it the third doctor told me he would leave the right ear alone and recommended a tube in my left ear with my travel schedule he basically said I need to determine if I want to live with holes or leave them intact and have pain when it comes on also I have been diagnosed with taj after the first tube surgery which I think that lead to the pain that made me go through with the tubes in the first place I have had treatment for that I hit all the limits I could with my dentist and am now having a day time splint made all the problems in the left ear have started since three months back I was placed on prozac by a doctor which is known for making clenching worse I have done the botox in the masseter for taj which has helped in the past and we did 25 units this time last time was 15 units overall I am wondering if it is in my best interest to try and pull off the prozac with the doctor permission or just getting tubes in both ears and not doing any more reconstructive surgery", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello thanks for the detailed history I can understand that you have gone through a lot because of your repeated ear issues very clearly none of the conditions you have either fluid in middle ear or hole in the eardrum are painful conditions surgery for these conditions is done mainly to improve hearing repeated collection of fluid in the middle ear can occur due to various reasons such as eustachian tube dysfunction adenoids allergy etc the most common being eustachian tube dysfunction now coming to the treatment of your condition you can continue flonase nasal spray for a few months and see if there is any improvement in fluid in the middle ear if that is not working then the next option would be to undergo balloon dilatation of eustachian tubes which

concerned it is probably due to taj dysfunction as you said prozac worsens bruxism and you may need to stop it with your symptoms or doctor consent these chronic conditions such as eustachian tube

on the front surfaces of several teeth last year at the top of the tooth near the gum line where denting had been exposed due to wearing away of the enamel several of the fillings have fallen out they were not worn down by brushing but actually they are detached as a whole from the tooth I was shocked that they had lasted less than a year because online searches indicate they should last for five to seven years under normal circumstances how long should composite fillings last", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I went through your images usually composite restoration lasts for four to five years composite filling is not as strong as amalgam fillings moreover it has to be taken care of more than amalgam fillings precautions to be taken for successful composite filling should be followed to last it longer most of it are the job of the dentist who is performing procedure but there are few things that should be followed by patients also avoid taking or biting hard food or candies with those teeth if there is any microfractures line of the tooth because of any hard substance bitting or trauma then it is harmful to the composite filling if any trauma or impact to filling then composite filling will not last long if you having any habit of nail biting then it is not good for filling if you have a habit of bruxism or night grinding then it is aggravating factor for fracture of restoration you should avoid tea coffee or hard drinks consumption too frequently because it will lose its property and color apart from these things there is natural shedding or wearing of composite layer like natural teeth wears as the time passes yes your dentist is right if there is a fault in preparation of restoration or while doing composite feeling then it would have gone within few weeks so for permanent solution you can go for root canal with zirconia crown if zirconia is costly then you can ask for other options for crown to your dentist which are available to them I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor I have a seven and half year old son he has metabolic genetic illnesses mcadd and not able to break down fats to produce energy so has to eat carbohydrates and

and tested negative my doctor advised me to get a test at least after 10 weeks post exposure for confirmation I am pretty nervous regarding the same can you please advise me what are the chances of contracting hiv and do the symptoms definitely occur in every individual post hiv contraction", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello firstly risk depends upon whether that guy has hiv or not if not then nothing to worry but considering the second possibility then some risk remains of transmission but not cent percent now if the test is negative after five to six weeks then it is unlikely for you to have hiv as majority of those who are exposed becomes positive within this period only a minority of patients develop delayed seroconversion so considering overall status I think there is no need to worry about it and you are unlikely to have hiv however get tested after a few weeks to clear out doubt and be sure so you should not worry now and get back to routine and get tested at later date I

formation of abscess in that case you may experience pain and discomfort as per as possible better to get examined by your gynecologist to find out the actual nature of the cyst sometimes antibiotics are sufficient to decrease the size of the cyst if it gets infected and increases in size you may need to go for minor surgical procedures like incision and drainage or marsupialization if you want

foods this can cause swelling to increase and delay healing please leave the area undisturbed because any irritant in that area could delay healing avoid forceful mouth rinsing follow gentle brushing

follicular response also will be less so rest for ovaries for a period of months will do good during this period of waiting the use of hormone pills or injections like leuprolide will allow a better

mostly focus on when studying nutritional labels calories fats or sodium what do you think they should be focusing on the most in your opinion how can people make more educated decisions when grocery

our it people I would prefer calories from sugar calories from fat and sodium content of product per 200 about calories I think we need to teach each detail of sources of fat sodium and potassium levels I guess all medical professionals need to teach the importance of reading food labeling as we can observe an increase rate of metabolic disorder if we guide in the proper way it could be helpful it might be in schools or some awareness programs a small note on the ingredient used and its importance or guiding note on macro as well as micronutrient uses in points the mantra of

constant anxiety in the minds the solution to this problem requires one adheres strictly to certain diet regiment and take abundant care of their skin drinking so many liters of water is not harmful continue it water helps to wash off bacterial toxins and remove pimples make sure you do not fill your stomach with water immediately after a meal as that would distend the tummy and make you fat over time but taking so many liters of water intermittently is beneficial you are advised to avoid oily foods the yellow of egg is completely cholesterol while preparing non vegetarian foods to make sure minimal oil or butter is used use boiled meats better fish oils are good for health and fish is the healthiest non veg food red meats are not very healthy and so is beef or pork which have a lot of fat in them you must use a good face wash that will remove excess oil from the skin as well as maintain adequate moisture in the skin however if your skin is dry type then you must use a face wash that hydrate the skin well and does not add to its dryness deciding on the right cosmetic product takes time and patience but once you arrive at the right one for yourself then there is no looking back if you are unable to tolerate spicy food it is best to avoid it if this problem is a recent one then you may take some anti acid reflux medicines like pantoprazole 40 my twice daily for two weeks and mucaine gel syearup two teaspoons thrice daily after meals this will remove acidic reflux in the tummy and reduce the burning sensation after meals you are advised to reduce the intake of coffee tea smoking and alcohol last we have many anti pimple or anti acne creams available in the market clindamycin adapalene nicotinamide retinoic acid and benzoyl peroxide are all very effective if you can send a picture of your face with clarity then I can assess the severity and recommend the cream and how to use the same do not use these creams on your own as indiscriminate use can worsen the condition and lead to disastrous side effects I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I was on birth control aviane for almost two years I stopped taking the pills after my serious

attacks it has been changing over the course of about four years getting better and worse again in everyday life it is manageable but the attacks cause some unreasonable thoughts and ideas to form I have heard about the use of benzodiazepine for anxiety can they be taken to stop panic and anxiety attacks without needing consistent everyday dosages during panic or anxiety attacks I usually feel very worthless and in some cases try to or think about hurting myself generally my anxiety tends to do with social situations where I feel like I am not liked or if I said something wrong I have visited a counselor in the past very briefly ironically my anxiety was worsened with the guilt of therapy being very expensive so I stopped seeing her", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello anxiety and panic attacks are extremely common and 15 to 20 percent of people suffer from this issue at some point in their lives standard treatment for anxiety is the use of sari selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor type of medicines they are usually given for two or four months and then stopped slowly by tapering it off they take two weeks to usually start taking the effect till then low dose benzodiazepine can be used I do not recommend the use of benzodiazepine which you are considering since it just takes care of symptoms of anxiety and the intervals at which you will need to take it will reduce as you keep on using it and eventually it will lead to addiction this is because withdrawal from benzodiazepine will produce the same symptoms as that of anxiety also consider doing deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation along with medicines" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my husband and I recently underwent an if cycle and it failed originally my husband has a problem with morphology

all produced embryo I do not know the quality only that one had progressed normally by day we did a day transfer on the second day after the transfer I had what I can only describe as scab like discharge about the size of a tear one the sixth day I finally left the house and started to resume so level of normal activity no heavy lifting and that afternoon I had a very bright red urine flow like a small amount of blood pass when I used the bathroom I thought that it might have been implantation bleeding but clearly not I want to try if again but I am afraid of the same results in doing research I found a book that suggests many environmental factors such as bra and phthalates can play a part in egg quality quantity and affect the sperm as well the book suggests waiting three to four months prior to beginning if to get the full effect of supplements recommended as well as let the harmful chemicals leave your body my questions are given my numbers in your opinion will my number of eggs change drastically while waiting or should I be normal should I retest my am before making this decision also is there any way for me to preserve my eggs not menstruate until the month before the if procedure my thought was to take birth control pills for three months and not take the sugar pills is this safe can it be done what are the repercussion finally based on our numbers would you recommend that we use donor eggs instead of trying another cycle this time around will have to be the last as we do not have any money after this one it is critical that we make the right decision", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi looking at your case history it would better to go for donor eggs ovarian reserve decreases with age and retesting for am anti mullerian is not going to affect the outcome increase ovarian reserve so no point in retesting am by taking of oral contraceptive pills continuously you cannot halt a decrease in ovarian reserve loss of eggs menses is just an indicator of loss actually a woman loses 400 600 eggs per month irrespective of whether she gets menses or not what you see on ultrasound is just loss of dominant follicle the loss of those 600 follicles cannot be seen it can be perceived indirectly by decrease in am increased requirements of hormone injections during if in vitro fertilization reduced number of eggs retrieved and low pregnancy rate one more effect of advanced age would be increased risk of down syndrome in the baby if you try with your own eggs so considering your advanced age low am poor response to stimulation low number of embryos formed in

more details but they were vague or maybe uninformed as to why these antibodies seen in male when they themselves said it was often seen in pregnant women internet searches prove fruitless I cannot be the only male that ran into this the only other thing I can think of is possibly cancer only because I remember reading somewhere that if a man were to do a instant pregnancy test and it is positive

or autoantibodies maye without symptoms of autoimmune disease maybe secondary to an infection you might be having antibodies against abc white blood corpuscles or platelets you are asked not to donate abc or platelets because there is an antibody which could damage the recipient abc or platelets which can reduce the efficacy of the donation and complicate management your blood test is not attached however I think it will be normal if you are looking for any antibodies they are numerous common ones like rheumatoid factor anti dna antibody and anti phospholipid antibody may have been screened if the type of antibody is known further opinion will be possible I hope this helps suspected viral infection specific antibody screening antibodies cannot be removed as it is always forming so not to

causes and risks there is practically no information available regarding low cholesterol levels or causes outside of the obvious low cholesterol intake vegetarian or vegan diet or use of cholesterol

these were things I never even realized were symptoms of anything one specific symptom however that each and every article I read seemed to use to define a celiac was weight loss or being severely under weight months later I stumbled across an article about celiac disease going undiagnosed because of the misconception that with celiac you cannot be overweight so I decided to raise the question with my go unfortunately after giving the doctor a rundown of my symptoms and explaining my concerns as soon as the word celiac came out of my mouth he quickly dismissed this as a possibility stressing that because I am not underweight and it was absolutely out of the question that I could have the condition he then dismissed all of my symptoms saying they were nothing to worry about and added that the lower my cholesterol was the better in his words I should be thrilled at how low my cholesterol was and I must have good genes and with that he sent me on my way for close to a year after that appointment I too dismissed all of these symptoms then six months back I was admitted into the hospital for an emergency cholecystectomy due to gallstones that caused me to have a severe gallbladder attack at the time I knew nothing about the gallbladder function or its purpose so there was no argument from me when the doctor explained that some people just get gallstones and the only way to treat gallbladder disease is to remove the gallbladder needless to say my week at home following my surgery I spent a lot of time learning about the gallbladder and almost immediately I found information describing the correlation between gallstones gallbladder disease low cholesterol and yes celiac this past weekend I attempted to donate blood and for the first time in my life I was turned away because my iron was too low I went online thinking my iron counts for previous donations would be noted in my wellness chart and although they were not my cholesterol result from my previous donation just 3 weeks after my surgery was down to 128 my would the fact that I am overweight truly rule out any possibility of celiac if it would what other conditions might explain all of

this happens when the person does not have food on time and does regular fasting it might also happen in those who take a lot of oily food what happens is that the bile acids cannot get expelled because the person does not eat food regularly if the bile stays in the gall bladder for longer periods then there is sedimentation and the bile solidifies into a semisolid consistency called

her score was back to baseline how can her cognitive function be back to normal when she still feels so bad does she need to continue to rest as she has been for four months does she still have a concussion she has special accommodations at school right now should those continue her case is being referred and sent to a neurologist as the pediatric concussion specialist does not specialize in post concussion syndrome or symptoms and he wants her to get the best treatment possible we are awaiting that appointment so I do not currently have a doctor who can answer these questions the only

new concept in medical sciences concussion is basically a very mild injury to the brain which impairs the basic mechanism in which a brain functions under normal circumstances concussion can be caused by a direct blow to the head or by indirect blow for example when an athlete is sprinting very fast and suddenly stops or changes direction leading to the sudden change in movement of the brain tissue leading to a friction between the brain tissue and inner surface of the bones of the skull let us discuss the queries asked by you one by one regarding how can her cognitive function be back to normal when she still feels so bad well at present her problem is not concussion brain injury because concussion brain injuries usually heals within a few days various scientific studies shows that 90 95 of concussion injuries heals as fast as within eight to nine days after the injury and only 10 injuries take more than 10 days so medically and technically it is post concussion syndrome which she is presently dealing with post concussion syndrome can develop in a person with a very mild concussion and on the contrary do not develop in some patients who suffered a major injury which in turn means that development of post concussion syndrome does not depend on the severity of brain injury it happens in some and do not happen in others but the good thing is that in sooner or later the person gets cured with time 90 cases of post concussion syndrome resolves in two to three months and 10 resolves six to eight months after the initial injury and very rarely it may take maximum unto one year but the point is that almost 100 cases get resolved maximally within one year after the injury regarding does she need to continue to rest as she has been for four months yes as she is still having symptoms of post concussion syndrome I headache fatigue dizziness sleeping disturbances etc she needs to continue both physical and mental rest till all the symptoms go away the medical reason behind recommending both mental and physical reasons is that doing physical activity the heart starts beating fast and more forcefully leading to increased blood flow in the brain which intern can exacerbate the symptoms of post concussion syndrome and can cause the symptoms to reoccur similarly performing cognitive activity and even mental activities like thinking use energy in the brain and can slow the recovery process of post concussion syndrome regarding does she still have a concussion no she does not have concussion now as I have already explained that in almost all cases concussion injury heals within 10 days her primary concussion injury has healed and presently she only has the symptoms of post concussion syndrome regarding her special accommodations at school right now yes she should continue and follow those special accommodations till all her symptoms of post concussion syndrome subside and go away otherwise as I explained above any physical or mental stress can delay the

fact is that I was feeling very well until about two years ago I began to experiment as if I could not enjoy things a few months later being quiet at home at night an incredible and strong chemical

sore I am not sure if they get them or not would those germs live in the liquid lipstick", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to icliniq com I understand your concern there is exactly not much research done on how long bacteria or viruses could survive in a liquid lipstick if you have had a gastrointestinal infection and if your lipstick came in contact with your saliva the microbes could have gone into the lipstick how long they survive in the lipstick and how fast they multiply largely depends on what kind of chemicals were used in the making of the lipstick moreover different microbes need different kinds of growth environment so it is hard to comment on that I would advise you to avoid using cosmetics when you are sick regarding sharing of your lipstick it is never a great idea to share your cosmetics with others cosmetics should be used as personal items just like you would use your toothbrush sharing cosmetics can lead to the spread of skin infections if you think you have shared cosmetics with someone you think might have some kind of infection I would advise you to dispose it and buy something new I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I

concentrated management I think you should do proper rehabilitation to completely gain strength and stability exercises like bridging single leg bridges clamshell swiss ball jackknife swiss ball hamstring curls step ups and goblet squats will help you gain stability and strength slowly you should start running if everything goes well then you should start gradual progressive running sessions these exercises to be done for three weeks and then progress with the next level of rehabilitation after progressing to full strength and stability and once you are confident then slowly you should

injury acid can injure tongue papillae causing a coating of tongue multiple small ulcerations inflammation of tongue papillae if the reflux continues to occur it can keep injuring different areas of tongue and mouth leading to migration of symptoms occasional binge drinking and vaping seems to be causing further damage to already injured tissue you may need to take a few week course of anti

the patient is hooked up on dialysis the creatinine value is always high at this time we do not care about the creatinine values because once we start dialysis on a patient it is assumed that his kidneys have incurred permanent damage and he cannot come back to normalcy at this juncture we use the patient creatinine value as a measure of protein intake if a dialyzing patient creatinine value is high it is assumed that he is having good protein intake through diet and high creatinine value is desirable in dialysis patients since intake of much proteins gives them a long life when creatinine value drops we start worrying that the patient is not taking much proteins so the drop in your creatinine value may be because you have started taking less proteins than usual in this situation we advise you to take more protein containing foods for a dialyzing patient the most important parameter is blood urea see what is your blood urea level before and after a single dialysis session ideally there should be a 60 reduction then it can be comfortably assumed that dialysis is effective if you do not achieve this reduction complain to the dialysis technician he will do the

complication like corneal ulcer injury to the eye test for dry eyes should also be performed for recurrent corneal abrasions corneal abrasion can be best treated by administration of vigamox moxifloxacin hydrochloride eye drop one drop every two hourly and systane eye drops every two hourly difference between the two eye drops is approximately five minutes application of panthegel eye ointment dexpanthenol along with zymar gatifloxacin eye ointment at bedtime it is a good idea to patch the eye for the whole day with a sterilized eye pad to avoid any dust and minimize the blinking rate for an effective and speedy recovery of the abrasion avoid cleaning the eye with water or any unsterilized cloth or whatsoever if the condition is associated with pain and redness homie homatropine hydrobromide eye drop once daily along with anti inflammatory tablets like combiflam etc can be taken twice daily for three days if the condition does not improve in three days you should consult an ophthalmic consultant for proper examination and treatment of the pathology use of contact lenses to be avoided at all times avoid use of water patching of the eye with sterilized eye pad for the whole day avoid use of contact lenses and eye cosmetics use of topical steroids should be avoided at all times if the problem does not improve in three days proper slit lamp examination of the

activity I went to a different doctor who removed the cerclage and gave me a course of augmenting antibiotic I had no more infection however during my period I would perceive a vague fishy smell of the blood no other smell during any other time of the cycle I had multiple cervical and vaginal cultures done including mycoplasma ureaplasma gonorrhea chlamydia and everything is always negative my

inflammatory pap considering cultures are negative and the pap is still inflammatory despite antibiotic treatment is it safe can the inflammation be related to the cerclage somehow or can it show in fact some cervical cancer or dysplasia and if there are precancerous changes in the cells of the cervix although the pap did not say that could the sono hug actually push them into the uterus and

the cervix now in hysterosalpingography dye is pushed inside the uterus and two or three rays are taken for tubal potency and along with that many times doctor prescribes one antibiotics course as a precaution for prophylaxis against infection inflammation can be chronic can be post delivery or age related but do not worry if you have taken antibiotics already secondly hysterosalpingography is

because you had more pain in the anterior shoulder this thing could be because of your heavy workout sudden lifting of weights sudden high tensed overhead activity improper maintenance of posture while workout which could stress your biceps long head which origins from the anterior shoulder blade and lead to pain inflammation tenderness swelling and minimizing activity levels I would say that in your case it might be an acute mild or moderate injury and not severe my advice would be please do break your workout for some days do not perform any overhead activity no external rotations of your shoulder no pulling or pushing using your shoulder apply ice for 15 minutes for two to three times a day until pain and swelling subside if symptoms do not subside please do consult an orthopedic

getting sleep overactive mind but I have never had any trouble getting a full night rest anywhere from to hours this recent bout of extreme insomnia had nothing to do with the habit I it is not like I made the choice one night to sleep only a little bit and then my habit got out of hand try though my brain simply is unable to let me sleep normally one day I could not sleep at all the next day and the day after that the same thing happened I finally managed to get a decent night sleep the next day and after that the pattern of only being able to sleep for less than an hour if at all maintained itself I struggle and struggle to sleep and then I dream for a little bit and then my brain kicks me out of sleep and I cannot go back I cannot even nap and yet usually my mind and body find a way of feeling rested after one measly dream I ought to feel like a zombie but most days I feel physically well rested I have heard of cases where people who used to sleep well became insomniacs after periods of great stress or depression I am almost certain that I became an insomniac because I was nervous about starting my new job the thing is though that it does not look like it is going away any time soon will it be permanent how scary is that I know the dangers of not getting enough sleep and I have tried certain things like sleep hygiene relaxation techniques etc nothing seems to work the only thing that helps a little is 400 my of seroquel prescribed by my psychiatrist however I have such a high tolerance for sedatives that I have to stop it and reintroduce the drug after a matter of days I guess what I am trying to say is there probably is not a solution for my extreme condition yet as sleep and the human mind are both great mysteries however I would like to have an opinion as to what is going on in my mind and how it started I hold the theory that the stress leading up to my new job somehow fried my brain I do not know in what sense exactly did the sudden onset of stress somehow deplete some of the chemicals in my brain that are necessary for sleep or could there be another explanation or hypothesis", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi you have a unique situation and though I do not have a clear answer to your complaints I can give you some relevant advice the first thing to do is to evaluate your insomnia I would suggest you use a camera to video record your sleep you can use your phone camera with good memory capacity and place it somewhere higher so you can see your movements at bedtime the reason for this is that personal evaluation of one own sleep is far from objective I frequently come across patients who say that they cannot sleep while their partners say they do and occasionally even snore there are phone applications like sleep as android etc which record your movements in bed and can give you a reasonable estimate of your sleep time another possibility is that you are sleeping but not getting enough deep sleep deep sleep is characterized by slow waves on eg electroencephalography and the feeling of having rested during sleep that is why sleep study is the ideal investigation for sleep issues as it does an eg recording as well as a video recording of your sleep as android also gives a rough estimate of your deep sleep percentage during your entire sleep in such a scenario there are specific medications which enhance deep sleep like pregabalin which you can ask your doctor about sometimes trying too hard to sleep is counter productive beliefs like I should get seven hours of sleep at any cost and if I do not it will cause great harm to my mind and body are incorrect and very likely to impair with sleep these irrational thoughts need to be addressed via cognitive behavioral therapy if you think this could be the problem with you the most important component of sleep hygiene is if you cannot sleep leave the bedroom sit somewhere else and do stuff like reading or listening to music this breaks the classical conditioning association between your bed and inability to sleep go to bed only when you feel sleepy remember that the use of electronic displays in the late evening could be a major cause of insomnia keep their use to minimum and use a blue light filter app on your phone after evening try taking natural sleep promoters like melatonin 6 my which you can find on the internet this should give you some guidelines to investigate into your sleep and hopefully improve it" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I get sick every two three months my doctor diagnosed me with chronic bronchitis about a year ago I

erythrocyte sedimentation rate and chest ray done if the chest ray and these blood investigations show no sign of infection then you would be treated for bronchitis treatment constitutes antiallergic drugs like levocetirizine and montelukast and in severe cases inhalers containing like salbutamol and steroid inhaler like budenoside in case of severe spasm and coughing a steroid like prednisolone can be used for a short course after being sure that there is no active infection or pneumonia if you do not have a severe cough or respiratory distress and your chest if found clear on examination then a cough syearup containing salbutamol levocetirizine dextromethorphan will help you greatly benzonatate pearls are helpful in an allergic cough only as they just anesthetize the throat and reduce

whether this is still a possible diagnosis given that the scans did not include contrast", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I passed carefully through your question and would explain that two mri are more than enough to exclude any possible brain tumor attchment removed to protect patient identity the pineal cyst may be an incidental finding as it does not seem to be related to the symptoms that

order to compare the presence of this cyst if it is a new finding or just was not described in the first mri in my opinion the type of headache that you refer coupled with dizziness and tinnitus are typical of tension type headache which is benign type of headache caused by a wrong posture and psychological stress so there is no reason to panic I recommend you to perform regular physical exercise

less amount of water I masturbate almost daily for the past 10 years I never had sex with any girl I never used any kind of contaminated stuff with my penis I never had erection problems in my life in fact I got erection any time I wanted except when I was extremely stressed and I always used to have morning erection until I started research on internet I usually wear tight briefs and often while wearing tight briefs when I got erection the tight fitting underwear tries to restrict the erected penis inside and due to tight fitting brief my penis bend where shaft meets the penis head inside the underwear and I firmly believe this caused the injury to my penis when I urinate sometimes some drops of urine are left in my penis head which comes out later after a minute when I walk back to my room for the last two months I have been suffering from very high levels of stress depression anxiety anger related to my job health relations past and future and I am severely constipated for the last two months may be due to these stress I do not have frequent urination last month I thought I should ask a doctor about this extra skin on my unelected penis see attached photos I started research on the internet at this time I do not have any erectile problems and I was not aware of any kind of terrifying disease that can happen to the penis everything was alright but then I started reading about the bend I have in my penis see attached photos and I read about all these terrifying diseases peyearonie disease prostate etc since then I am extremely terrified stressed depressed hopeless more constipated like someone is holding my stomach tightly and I also breathe very slowly when I think about these things I cannot take my mind off these problems I am terrified like I may have one of these untreatable diseases after this internet research I cannot think about porn and stuff which I used to think for erection and masturbation and even if I watch porn or try to think about porn all these queries and worries are running into the back of my head all the time and I cannot get erection yesterday I masturbated with a fully erected penis and I am able to get full length erection if somehow I draw my attention off these terrifying things I am having very mild pain in my penis on erection it is like a muscular pain inside the penis and had premature ejaculation this particularly started after internet research what is the cause of this pain are pain and premature ejaculation related what can be done to solve these problems I am suffering from erectile dysfunction problem in maintaining an erection it does not get hard for more than a few seconds what is the cause I noticed a darker patch of skin located on my penis shaft more specifically it is located on the very bottom of the shaft starting where the shaft meets the scrotum and traveling up towards the head little ways it is oval in shape the color is a bit darker than my usual skin tone what and why is this black skin on the lower side of my penis shaft what can be done for this extra skin on my unelected penis see attached photos is my penis shape normal or not why is my penis head bends downward is this normal why is the head of my penis is large in length and it often remains less hard spongy on erection while shaft gets very hard why not my penis erection is not parallel to the floor which it used to be it always slopes downward is this damaged suspensory penile ligament because tight briefs forcefully restricted the erect penis in a downward direction", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I have seen every picture you have uploaded and I understand your concern premature ejaculation is when you discharge within 30 seconds of masturbation or doing intercourse do you ejaculate before 30 seconds when you do masturbation the pain you are having is because you are doing excessive masturbation you should reduce your masturbation habit to two times a week otherwise you will have a lot of problems when you will be married if you are having early morning erections then you are fine it is your stress which is causing premature ejaculation you have to understand that premature ejaculation can be diagnosed when you really do sex with someone it is normal to have dark areas in penis like you have in the indian population you are comparing yourself with people in porn movies my advice to you is that you must reduce watching porn movies because it will affect your sexual life when you start doing sex with your partner people in porn movies take drugs thats why they have a longer duration for doing sex and also you will expect your partner to be like the women you watch in these movies which will also spoil your relationship with your partner the extra skin can be reduced by doing circumcision but it should be done if you are having a problem in rollback on your skin when your penis is in erect form or if you have a problem in doing sex with someone in your case since you are a virgin we can say anything for now and yes the shape of your penis is normal you are taking too much tension the only thing which you really need to do is to reduce doing masturbation if you do not you will have a lot of problems in the future take vitamin tablets for 15 days once daily I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my year old daughter continues to have strong abdominal

a 16 year old female if the mesentery and or pancreas has a tear in one or both and if that tear was big enough to bleed where would the blood go would it go through the tract of the vagina or rectal tract to seep blood out of the body how long does it take the body and skin to show bruises or an area that has been injured somehow when you cut let us say your arm or leg with some kind of tool after the cut when does the blood start clotting if someone was sexually assaulted and have tears from stretching or penetration when do the tears start healing how long will it take minutes or hours or days or months", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello pancreas is highly vascular and is surrounded by major vessels hence pancreatic trauma may be associated with life threatening hemorrhage and shock pancreatic injury or pancreatic trauma can be as follows due to blunt trauma as well and car accidents when the internal hemorrhage ensues into the peritoneal cavity it leads to peritonitis or retroperitoneal hematoma when it is because of sharp penetrating injury as in stabbing external hemorrhage the wound occurs a bruise is bleeding under the skin and is due to the rupture of vessels in the skin due to blow or any impact the timeframe for the appearance of bruise is in relation to the amount of the injury in case of significant trauma it appears immediately the classic feature of the bruise is to change its color the force that is enough to rupture the skin capillaries is all that defines the bruise when you suffer a cut your body immediately reacts in seconds to stop bleeding by hemostasis your blood should clot with in one to nine minutes by primary platelet plug formation again the time is variable as it depends on the nature and depth of the wound if it does not clot in nine minutes it should be evaluated for platelet dysfunction vaginal tears like any other wound start healing immediately after the injury but again time for healing is based on the degree of the tear first degree or second degree vaginal years usually heal within seven to ten days third and fourth degree may take months to recover any vaginal tear longer than an inch requires suturing I hope this

health disorders early depression suicide or any mental health issue should be discussed as often as possible and just with the same approach as any medical illness because they all essentially are biological disorders it is important to normalize the approach which helps in reducing the stigma related to mental health role of faith or religion is similar to having any personal goal because they give a sense of purpose but it can be sometimes a negative influence as well because sometimes religion teaches us that our suffering is a consequence of our actions and people often are denied

fasting blood sugar level is 140 my do and on taking gamer my postprandial blood sugar is 72 my do why this happens", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello yes it happens in a diabetic fasting blood sugar usually results from a combination of factors the two most important being what you ate the day or night before and how high your blood sugar spiked if you have very high blood sugar the night before you should expect your fasting blood sugar to be elevated sometimes an eight hour fast is just not long enough to bring down the blood sugar dawn phenomenon is common in diabetics and it is when hormones that you produce in the morning cause your liver to release more glucose for energy either way higher fasting levels result often dawn phenomenon and high blood sugar from the day or night before work with each other when you eat the liver stops pumping out so much glucose and postprandial blood sugar can drop which is what happened to you my suggestion is to do a pre dinner sugar and

infected there is green pus that comes out from between the gum and that tooth as well as from the tooth in front of it there is also a cracked second molar which the gum is partially detached from and it also has some pus coming from it now here is the dilemma I have been taking amoxicillin 250 my three times a day for a month now and just yesterday I switched to 500 my three times a day to try to clear up that infection yesterday there is no pus but today there is I do not have an appointment with the oral surgeon until a few weeks I am afraid that this infection will not clear up with the 500 my amoxicillin and the big problem is that I am on medicaid and they only give us 100 dollars a year which resets every july I only have about half of that left which means I cannot go to any more appointments until after this oral surgeon I can only have three to four of the six bad teeth out so do I have to extract the bottom infected wisdom and cracked tooth or the semi painful broken decayed top teeth and to make it even better I have high blood pressure and severe anxiety and happen to be on propranolol for the blood pressure and heart rate I know that propranolol interacts with local anesthetics that have vasoconstrictor in it but local anesthetics without vasoconstrictor do not last as long and I am severely afraid of death from dental work or from infection so I do not

having these it is mandatory that your blood pressure is within the normal range local anesthesia with vasoconstrictor can be used for hypertensive patients with proper guidelines being followed do

possibility of cure and treatment together it should help you get your answer to start with I am sorry but your question does not have a simple yes or no answer normally the gastrointestinal epithelium provides a semi permeable barrier that allows nutrients to be absorbed while preventing larger potentially toxic antigenic or pathogenic molecules or organisms from crossing into the bloodstream abnormally increased intestinal permeability allows the individual to absorb the bad food molecules and absorption of bacteria and or yeast from the gut to extra intestinal sites such as mesenteric lymph nodes liver spleen and systemic circulation this can be also be due to certain drugs microbial overgrowth radiation stress alcohol intake enteral parenteral nutrition or injury increased intestinal permeability occurs commonly with diseases including inflammatory bowel disease rheumatoid arthritis ankylosing spondylitis asthma eczema food allergies alcoholism trauma and surgery glutamine phosphatidylcholine flavonoids soluble fiber and fish oil as well as probiotic organisms including lactobacilli and saccharomyces boulardii can assist in correcting this abnormal permeability it would be necessary to avoid triggers like alcohol and of course other conditions like rheumatoid arthritis should be looked for the treatment of cause will help remove the cause so the treatment and cure would depend on how well one is evaluated" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I have pain in the pubic area urine test revealed protein in the urine but there is no pain while urinating

to you in simple words that why it is not a good sign the whole of the blood in our body flows through both the kidneys in our body and kidney functions as a filter the harmful substances and toxic molecules are taken up by the kidneys and are excreted out of the body via urine proteins are very essential for our body and proteins are big molecules in size so they do not pass through the small filtering mechanism of the kidneys so the filtering mechanism of the kidneys is such that it allows toxic molecules to pass through the filter but does not allow substances to filter out which are essential for our body but when the filtering mechanism of kidneys is damaged due to some underlying disease then the proteins also start leaking out so if there are proteins present in the urine that means that the kidneys are not functioning normally so I would advise you to get the following tests done so that I can do a detailed evaluation of your reports to make a precise diagnosis and find out the reason which is damaging your kidneys so please get these tests done complete hemogram let liver function tests kit kidney function tests blood sugar fasting and postprandial ultrasound rub kidney ureter and bladder region get your blood pressure checked once you get these tests done kindly send me a scanned copy of your reports for evaluation and please do not get panic everything shall be fine" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor I am a 24 year old female I am 7 and weigh approximately 280 labs I am overweight my question is that I have had this calf pain intermittently ever since I went

shorter destination flights very important to remember that he is still recovering from bad respiratory failure and cardiac event also still he is oxygen dependent at room temperature being hypertensive and recently hospitalized it is advisable to avoid any travel at least for weeks to prevent further complications fitness to fly for cold patients need to comply a definitive pre travel eligibility criteria and need necessary documentation from treating pulmonologist during air travel in commercial flights oxygen level falls considerably due to low cabin air pressure and we must supplement oxygen to prevent further hypoxemia and other complications so it is advisable to keep checking oxygen saturation frequently if the resting oxygen saturation is less than 92 he may require supplemental oxygen in flight but commercial flights generally dont allow to carry our oxygen cylinder but you can carry oxygen concentrator with prior confirmation from airline can provide supplemental oxygen if required during flight but it will be very costly and has to be booked well before in advance while booking tickets so it is very important to take opinion of his treating pulmonologist and do pre flight evaluation if he is fit to fly or not necessary medicines inhalers and tablets need to be refilled before flying once he is fit to fly while booking seats consider seat neat toilet to avoid walking frequently check oxygen saturation and avoid tea coffee or any other drinks during air travel please make firm confirmation for all the concerns with the airlines before

says equivocal what does this mean I have attached the report how bad and critical is it for her to get infected at this stage of pregnancy is there anything that could be done to protect the baby if she gets infected", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I have seen the report I can understand your concern I will answer one by one as you told me it is ith week I would like to tell you that in the first 12 weeks the overall risk of transmitting infection to the child and development of severe disease in child is only 4 percent in your case the mother already has protective antibodies egg antibodies cutting down the risk further but still we do not want to risk the child whatever risk may be so I will advise for isolation of mother or patient until all the lesions of chickenpox get crusted because after they crust they get noninfectious the chance of getting chickenpox again in life is a rare phenomenon but at times if the immunity is low it may occur equivocal in the report means that the mother has protecting immunity against chickenpox but not very strong it would be strong if the levels were more than 12 but it is not negative that means the mother can fight some infection it is not very bad to get affected at this stage but if it happens near the delivery time or within five days of delivery then it is very bad right now even if she gets infected she will develop immunity and pass on to the baby some antiviral drugs can be given if infected but I do not think she requires it now and yes definitely until the invective stage of your brother and sister vanishes you should think of isolation" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I went to the r twice in the past two weeks and I went to two different hospitals I am 20 years old the first time I went to the er with chest pain

can send me a scanned copy of your report so that I can prescribe you the appropriate antibiotic course along with dose and duration for which antibiotics and other drugs to take I would strongly advise you not to take any antibiotic blindly on hit and trial basis it can cause more harm than a benefit so get the culture and sensitivity test and only after that start taking antibiotics testicles as you have mentioned doppler us ultrasound of the testicles was normal you should not worry about the visible veins are very superficially located in the scrotal skin and it is perfectly normal to have visible veins especially in the scrotal region the only point is that in some people they are less prominent and in some more prominent thats it and it is absolutely normal to have

have missed your menses and the home pregnancy test is negative as on date then the most common cause of delay in menses during this cycle would be stress induced hormonal imbalance however if you are

test and then if negative again then opt for a transvaginal ultrasound to check for endometrial thickness if the endometrial thickness is more than my then you can opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterone to resume your menses keep your daily water intake to three to four liters as it is the best anti oxidant and de stressor considering your disturbed sleep pattern this would help

cutting back on red meat and eating fish and legumes beans lentils chickpeas as the protein source omega rich foods are healthy fats like avocado olive oil nuts seeds and olives and also salmon the

reaction which happens when we are together basically she is already allergic to dust and has atop on her right hand since she was a child now she is 23 and I am 27 which is sometimes stronger sometimes weaker but always there as she is a japanese girl living in japan we have met three times in various places but her symptoms have appeared every time small red rashes appear on the hands and later on the legs too her face gets itchy and breaks out in pimples too these always start days after meeting again and get better some days after we leave each other we also tried sleeping apart and that helped a bit on the symptoms no sexual intercourse yet so I am afraid I might have something that makes her produce such reactions she also blames my dreadlocks which indeed catch not few dust but I will cut it before we meet soon so that possibility will be crossed out because of her dust allergy they live in a very clean environment so I also suspect that staying longer at an inherently duster place like my flat might get her reactions acting up also she had a lot of stress because of traveling to meet me which also does not help such skin diseases in some places we slept in hotels so we always suspected the local washing powders to cause these effects but in my work place I deliberately bought a new linen bed to avoid such a problem although I washed it before using it dishes were different in the three countries so I cannot see that there would be a common ground for an allergic reaction I will buy new clothes and will wash them myself according to her hygienic discipline and we will see how it goes I do not regularly use deodorant nor aftershave and I had different shower gels all the time what else could we change to stop her reactions or to find out what caused them how could we soothe them maybe after being together for a long time she would get used to my flora and she would eventually stop her reactions in an environment with less stress of course I sent her to a specialist as well to get checked to see whether I can be the cause", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello you have described your partner problem very nicely she is suffering from chronic urticaria is an allergic reaction that takes the form of itchy red bumps on the skin as shown in your pictures name anything that can cause an allergy and it can also cause hives including pollen dust dander dust mites shellfish and other foods first thing in the management is to find out the trigger to avoid hives you need to figure out what causes them if you do not know start keeping a daily diary the most probable suspects are things that you eat drink or swallow drink supplements and medications but even if you do not see any obvious connections continue keeping your diary noting other factors like weather stress levels clothing or the amount of time that you spend in the sun with careful tracking you may link a specific lifestyle factor with the eruption of those red itchy welts foods most likely to trigger hives include shellfish nuts chocolate fish tomatoes eggs fresh berries and milk some people react to preservatives in certain foods and wine such as sulfites once you have identified a food trigger eliminate it from your diet and see whether you have fewer outbreaks common drug triggers include antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs nsaids such as aspirin and ibuprofen but doctors have heard about many other triggers including sedatives tranquilizers diuretics diet supplements antacids arthritis medications vitamins eye drops eardrops laxatives and douches seek emergency medical treatment if you develop hives around your eyes or in your mouth or experience difficulty breathing wheezing light headedness or dizziness you may have a life threatening condition called anaphylaxis and the internal tissue swelling can block breathing passages so better you get done her blood allergy test that will give you a clue about your trigger so that you can avoid it tablet levocetirizine or desloratidine are helpful when you have a rash calamine lotion or astringent help shrink blood vessels so they do not leak so much of histamine or mix one teaspoon of any kind of vinegar with one tablespoon of lukewarm water and apply the mixture to your hives with a cotton ball or tissue to soothe the itching take fish oil in capsule form three times a day the primary treatment is to increase the immunity of the body an excellent remedy is to take one teaspoon of turmeric powder haridra khand with a glass of milk or water two to three times a day massage the skin with mustard oil for 15 minutes followed by a bath with lukewarm water make a paste of two cups of oatmeal and three teaspoons of cornstarch and water apply this paste on the affected areas until the itching is reduced stress can cause hives or make them worse so avoid it in any form try meditation or yoga to boost your immunity so after allergy test avoid that specific

in non responders or resistant usually augmenting agents are given I do not know what agents have been tried for your son so far but normally sari with mood stabilizer like sodium valproate or lithium or sari low dose second generation antipsychotic or sari plus combinations of mood stabilizer and low dose antipsychotics can be used apart from this other classes of drugs can also help such as mirtazepine bupropion and as and when needed temporary use of low dose benzodiazipines and propranolol can also be added the goal here will be remission of symptoms or atleast reduction to an acceptable level in patients with resistance usually or drug combinations will be needed also many psychiatrists do not reach the maximal dosage recommended of most drugs and that also needs to be tried out apart from this you should consider getting to sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy from a clinical psychologist it will also help and add to the effect of medicines" }, { "Paitent":

development and overall psycho social development this is dependent on communication children with hearing loss have special importance as they have to be diagnosed early to prevent the delay in

requiring community and individual participation economic resources government policy support I would like to have a universal hearing screening program because only if we can diagnose early we can do something so the first step is early and all the cases to be diagnosed hearing and speech and language services for hearing impaired are meeting the needs of students who are receiving treatment facilities at tier and few tier cities but at the rest of the places these services are not adequate the reason is again a lack of awareness of available facilities constant changing of technology and products low literacy also prevents parents from utilizing these resources lack of funding and support from dedicated organizations human resource and society participation few important needs are a universal neonatal hearing screening social awareness of the impact of hearing loss and treatable diseases funding for hearing impaired children with the provision of financial support for special

doppler studies middle cerebral artery to look for cause for decreased supply to the fetus if at all if these parameters are normal then your dates are probably wrong or you have had delayed ovulation

"input": "", "Doctor": "hi welcome to icliniq com your 10 year old son had a cough and fever which required augmenting and nebulization this means that the child has got wheezing with lower respiratory tract infection augmenting contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid which may cause diarrhea in some children so rightly the antibiotic needs to be changed you have been given zee which contains azithromycin antibiotic which has made the system better now there is a mild cough but it is wet or productive a productive cough may persist for some time as the infection which was earlier there in the chest of your child has formed mucus or phlegm which needs to come out from the body this productive cough will persist for some time even if you take an antibiotic in my opinion there is no need for any antibiotic now and you should only give cough syearup this productive cough will subside in one week just protect the child from cold temperature avoid cold drinks and ice cream I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I have a stage to bladder prolapse I would like to get the surgery but I am suffering from anxiety and panic attacks I am terrified about getting the surgery

having back knee and foot pain and numbness for some time so I am wondering if I should see professional help it started about a year or more ago and then it was merely the lower left side of my back it would go numb for a brief time after riding for about thirty or more minutes however as time has progressed the pain has gotten worse and mostly the pain is in my left knee I own apartment buildings and I love working on the properties but it is beginning to wear on my body being a 53 year old male yesterday was especially hard because I was on a ladder a lot and it makes my lower back and left knee hurt when I use a ladder and I went up and down three flights of steps numerous times moving supplies from one apartment to another and it took its toll therefore today I am experiencing pain in my left knee on the side of my knee and in the back last night I woke up with a lot of pain in my left knee and it was a burning sensation but my back did not hurt as it usually does I had a baker cyst many years ago on this same knee and my doctor advised me to take it easy for a few days and take anvil once I did as he recommended the pain went away and until recently I have had no problems with my knee one more thing most of the time when I feel a sharp pain going through the left part of my lower back it makes my foot numb if I sit or lie down and pull my leg up to my chest it gives me a lot of relief most of the time if I am feeling this sensation in my lower back and it starts to go down to my left leg pulling my leg up to my chest for a couple of minutes will usually make the pain go away completely most of my time is spent about ten hours a day at my desk working and while my favorite thing to do is work on my properties I have to sometimes hire people because of spending so much time at my desk at one time about ten years ago I used to lift weights free weights and workout on a cross trainer for two to two and a half hours a day from monday to friday although as I got more responsibility for my work I started cutting back on the exercising and eventually gave it up altogether so I do not do anything outside of working on my properties for exercise and I hope to start lifting weights again and doing cardio because my waist has gotten up to a 34 and I want to stop it from expanding more however I am afraid to start any exercise routine before I find out what is going on with my left side the pain I am referring to is strictly from my waist down the leg and to my foot I have no problems with my right side and if a doctor recommends surgery it is not going to happen because I grew up with a dad that had perthes and I have seen how he has suffered his entire life and how many times doctors have replaced hips telling him this one is the last one only for him to have to go back over and over until he is finally in a wheelchair sorry there is one more thing my primary doctor has retired and I have not been sick in over seven years so I have no

can understand the issue it is basically the facial muscle spasm that you have in the classical pattern it involves larger areas of the face and not smaller area or single muscle the cause for it can be mild compression more of irritation than compression over the nerve which runs into the facial muscles the site of compression can be near its origin secondary to pressure from a neighboring blood vessel the less common cause can be viral involvement of the nerve in the ear for that you should be investigated with the torch panel viral screening test depending on results we can plan further

good student it does take a toll on your mental health with chronic stress problems like severe headaches migraines social avoidance can occur I would suggest you to talk to a counselor and they will help you find out the negative thoughts which are causing this anxiety and this type of behavior and they will help you to cope up with them and be able to enjoy your life again either find a local counselor or you can opt for online counseling sessions with me via icliniq if these are severe you might require anti anxiety medications but as you have mentioned that you are able to function well

tiredness and my increasing weight please help", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello stopping topiramate is not the reason for weight gain in your case topiramate resulted in weight loss and the drug is also a good mood stabilizer drug this helps in stabilizing the mood and supplements the antidepressants so stopping topiramate probably result in worsening of depressive symptoms and thus altered food intake which consequently resulted in weight gain in my opinion you can start topirmate again and this will help in controlling the weight gain the drug will help in improving the depressive symptoms too so there is no harm in restarting the drug apart from this please change your dietary intake avoid any foods with refined sugars and high fat take high protein diets rich like meat and animal food avoid fried food totally lime juice in an empty stomach daily without sugar should be included in the diet please take at least a cup of green tea which will help to dissolve the belly fat this will help in making you fit again if you are feeling sleepy and tired then drugs like modafinil can be added to your prescription modafinil will help in improving alertness and will reduce your tiredness

I might have breathed in the vapors in this small room I also washed away the crystals that has landed on the carpet all of these substances I have no clue about what was except when I asked I was

my knees are shaking when I stand up like I am freezing or have done a hard workout from time to time I went to the doctor in my area and told him about what had happened and showed him pictures of the various substances and I took a urine test and a blood test and this was made around 130 days after possible initial exposure and the test came back at normal levels but can it be that I had a toxic exposure and the mercury has already settled in organs and therefore do not show in blood or urine I am not sure about the half life times in these metals or can I settle down and accept the test results are final and that mercury levels do indeed declear that I have not had an exposure of toxic levels and that my symptoms might be of other cause if not number one is the cause then a few

and lifestyle modification is its main solution I will elaborate all of this in a very simple way so that you may come out of this pain and can sleep comfortably thanks for uploading all the supporting documents and I have thoroughly reviewed all of them fortunately your cervical spine and the surrounding structures bear no visible signs of major trauma that may have warranted immediate interventions by an orthopedist and neurosurgeons your cervical spine spinal ligaments and the muscles got extreme stress due to excess weight on them the spinal in cervical region is not made for weight bearing due to stress or strain caused by weight there had been a stretch and or compression causing a change in anatomical structures out there you need to change the sleeping posture and position your head so that there is a least possible strain on the cervical spine keep track of everything you are doing to modify sleep habits adopt the one that best suits you buy a mattress that is angle adjustable there are smart mattresses available in the market that makes sleeping a bit comfortable for the cervical spine patients and the general healthy population too at the same time they are temperature controlled too so if you need to provide heat to the body they help doing it with the click of a button first try sleeping without pillows underneath your head try sleeping straight supine position your whole body facing upwards then try sleeping on the right side then on the left side of the body it is only you who can tell which ever suits you best then you may try keeping a soft pillow under the head if it hurts again you need to try the angle adjustable mattress and try different angles every night keep track if raising the angle soothes you or decreasing the angle is a better option for you meanwhile physical therapy is my advice for you please consult a physical therapist for proper evaluation and management accordingly it will assist you in getting out of this pain very fast you may use heat wraps around the neck to soothe the deep neck structures it alleviates the pain and improves circulation keep a balanced and healthy diet and avoid stressing your spine out by spending a lot of time in front of to laptop smartphone etc these are bad for your cervical spine as they all make the neck stiff at a certain angle if required" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I

do not cause any infection in healthy people who have a strong immune system but these can cause infection in people who have low immunity and newborn baby is one among them kissing cannot cause meningitis per se but can transmit few bacteria which can first cause a mild respiratory infection which can spread to brain especially in low immunity people like newborns kissing can transmit viral infection like herpes simplex and infectious mononucleosis hence it is better to avoid kissing the baby especially by friends and relatives etc even parents should avoid if possible" }, { "Paitent":

thrice daily after food along with this you should take pantoprazole 40 my one tablet before 20 minutes of your breakfast if ibuprofen causes uncontrollable heartburn you can go for other options in

later on can a nerve biopsy give an answer if we are thinking cid chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy sometimes can any heavy metal can cause this kind of symptoms lab work for raynaud

you still taking pills when you had your periods on the ord if it was a vaginal delivery sudden bleeding could be due to vaginal laceration if the bleeding was while on pills it could be a breakthrough bleeding if only one pill is left and you have been taking it for more than two weeks regularly pregnancy seems unlikely being late for pill by one hour does not decrease its efficacy if

intense on the right at times I can feel it from my neck all the way up to my face as of recent I have been feeling this slight burning sensation on my chest to my shoulders as well prior to this facial tightness I have been suffering from this burning feeling on the centre of my chest for about a month it was my first time experiencing heartburn and I thought it was heart related went for rays and echo heart ultrasound everything came out fine I have a healthy heart what made the burning chest sensation go away temporarily is lying down eating exercising and drinking alcohol and the weird part is the same thing helps me relieve my facial tightness temporarily is the same thing as that for the burning chest sensation lying down eating exercising and drinking alcohol since having this facial tightness I have paid numerous visits to different doctors even the neuro specialist and they all said it was anxiety the doctors did facial senses test where they take a piece of fine cotton to touch different parts of my face I had to close my eyes and tell them where the spot is I have no troubles at all I did blood test it came out normal they told me I do not need to do any scans and that it was merely anxiety and it will go off by itself I convinced myself that I had anxiety because of the one month heartburn ordeal that I was suffering from even though the facial tightness was there I tried my utmost best to ignore it I do not think that I have any anxiety in me now as I try not to think of the weird tightness sensation however it has been whole months and now

I understand you are worried about the side effects of lansoprazole prevacid now as you have stopped taking it the risk of side effects do not remain the same as with taking the drug the reversibility of effects is based on the extent and the nature of damages done by any drug for example if a drug causes scarring fibrosis of the liver tissues it usually does not come back and is an irreversible side effect dementia does not come so early and usually decades are needed for its development and not every patient on lansoprazole ends up with dementia to give you good news the link between dementia and lanoprazole is not certain it is still under research and is not an established fact as of today also we have to see that lansoprazole prevents the patient from serious bleeding and ulcers of the stomach so it outweighs the risks of dementia if any for better understanding you have the option to consult a neurologist he will be able to articulate this fact in a better way based

been so worked upon certain occasions that I actually went to the er and they said nothing was wrong I do not know what to do to stop thinking about this and worrying it is going to happen to me my family does have hearth issues but all lived well past their 80 I had an episode a few months ago where I started to get really nauseous and felt like my heart was skipping a beat when I felt it skipping a beat is when I felt the overwhelming nauseous feeling I went to my cardiologist and he gave me a monitor to wear he did notice that I had an extra heartbeat from time to time and said it was completely normal I told him I can feel this each time and it gives me extreme anxiety I am afraid it is just going to stop beating I had a stress test was done about months ago and all normal another one of my big fears is that my arteries are clogged or getting clogged I wish there was a non evasive way to test this so that I can ease my mind that is what I need a way to ease my mind that everything is working as it should and no issues I know it may sound weird but I just need peace of mind I do not know what to do at this point I do not want to have a heart attack and I want to stop thinking about it all the time what can I do how do I know that when I feel these extra heartbeats it is normal I have never had an abnormal ekg besides when I had the round of a fib this is most likely why I have high blood pressure and anxiety is there any hope for me getting over this fear I do not want to be the 37 year old that has a heart attack", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I appreciate your detailed write up it made it easy for me to understand what the problem might be I really do understand your situation having to constantly live with fear of having a heart attack can weigh you down but I assure you everything is fine the extra heart beats you feel are called palpitations they are harmless and do not pose any harm stress caffeine smoking sleeplessness are often the cause the ekg stress test lipid profile tests are enough to tell us if you have a chance of heart attack to some extent you are fine since these results are normal you should avoid from fear of a heart attack most likely the cause of your high blood pressure is because you are overweight at 37 high blood pressure is quite common amongst overweight people I advise you start a proper workout for atleast times a day for 30 minutes to an hour this will help your palpitations and will bring down your weight get sufficient sleep avoid smoking or caffeine and diet these will reduce the rate at you get palpitations avoid worry it kills faster than any disease your test results are enough to prove that you do not suffer from heart disease" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I have two inner ear conditions both are somewhat rare right semicircular canal dehiscence and left patulous eustachian tube dysfunction what I want to know is whether I can fly take an airplane without getting ill and

noise and imbalance echoing of once own voice etc this condition usually does not get worsened by change in environmental pressure so air travel will not be an issue in this condition in any case keep anti vertigo medications such as stemetil handy when you fly patulous eustachian tube is a condition involving middle ear and nose my guess is because of similarity in symptoms you have been given both the diagnosis I can say that if there is vertigo then it is superior canal dehiscence if there is no vertigo chances of patulous eustachian tube are high in any case people with patulous eustachian tube will have certain degree of pressure symptoms in ear when they fly but most of the times it will not be very severe you can use simple saline nasal spray before boarding the flight and every two hours in air to reduce symptoms" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my age is 28 I had a unprotected sex a month back but only the top part of penis inserted into the vagina it was not a full sex

little role on this day as his aggressive behavior already reduced regarding the next course of action I feel adding another antidepressant is the first option in case there are reasons for not doing

the pills you had taken because if it is due to pregnancy then pregnancy must be due to earlier intercourse which was protected so there are very fewer chances of failure in that case and right now your periods also get extended due to the pills you had taken basically in this situation you should do a urine pregnancy test and see if it comes positive then it is due to the failure of previous precautions and if it turns to be negative then just wait for seven more days and periods will come and even after that if your symptoms are increasing in two days then you need to go for a test for

person with a neck fracture die from their cervical spinal cord being compressed because of bleeding and swelling from the fracture compressing against the cord can a person with an incomplete cervical spinal cord injury caused by a traumatic accident die four days after the accident because of the cervical spinal cord failure to control blood pressure and heart rate or respiratory failure because of damage done to the cord or would they have to have a complete cervical spinal cord injury to die four days after the accident because of the same reason stated above and lastly would it be possible for a elderly male aged 80 who has had a fall and has either a partially severed his cervical spinal cord or his cervical spinal cord been injured by being compressed from bleeding and swelling as result of a neck fracture be physically able to walk roughly 50 meters with someone assisting him if it is possible what would their balance be like for example if the person assisting the injured man was holding him with one their arms holding him at the waist would be able to walk in a straight line or would his walking be staggered unbalanced and uncoordinated", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I read carefully your question and would explain that the cervical spinal cord is a very delicate part of the spinal cord because in its beginning are located the most important centers which control the heart rate the pulmonary function and the blood pressure values it is true that just after a trauma a man can walk with or without assistance for 50 meters and this can sound strange in fact this can be related to the lack of damage to the spinal cord in that moment there is only the fracture of the vertebral column while the central nervous system is intact while walking the instability of the damaged vertebral column causes further damage to the spinal cord and the person gets paralyzed regarding the partial and complete damage of the spinal cord it is difficult to judge all the damages begin as partial but because of the spinal cord instability the lack of right immobilization and the bleeding and swelling the damage may become complete in the next days the swelling and bleeding tend to spread and the spinal cord is trapped within the vertebral column and can not expand further so the swelling and bleeding cause further damage to the spinal cord it is difficult to judge in the first days of trauma but because of the swelling in the first days after the trauma first week the person may die because of acute cardio respiratory arrest due to the dysfunction of the heart and respiratory function the swelling tends to spread in the upper cord and the paralysis becomes complete affecting also the respiration and the heart rhythm I hope this

a year gap and on stopping the medicines it is positive that you are doing good so in my opinion a gradual dose reduction of medicines can be done you are currently on risperidone and its doses can be reduced gradually over the next three months and there should be no problem you have one episode of acute psychosis precipitated after magic mushroom use but the second episode is pointing towards

likely a neuropathy further information needed to put the right diagnosis on these symptoms most importantly a detailed history of when and how they started and how long have you been experiencing

whether you have ed erectile dysfunction or not other than the history and proper physical examination this is the thing which are done by the doctor when you present yourself in his or her office based on the observation doctor decides whether the tes are required or not in case required he only decides what are the tests required based on the available history details and clinical examination I mean to say that you need to see a properly trained sexologist to determine the number of tests required this is because the presence of abnormal test does not mean the test abnormality is the cause of the problem and similarly the presence of normal test result does not rule out the problem however in routine practice we order normal biochemistry blood sugar get glucose tolerance test hba1c lipid profile let liver function test and thyearoid profile hormonal profile free and total testosterone prolactin oh luteinizing hormone and fish follicle stimulating hormone us abdomen and pelvis

opinion there is a tear over the blood vessel or sphincter leading to leakage of blood during erection resulting in inadequate tightness however I must assure you that the presence of erection although poor and stoppage of further damage should be enough to allow the recovery of proper erection in a few weeks at this stage it is important to manage your stress as it is unlikely to help you

wider are the signs of periodontitis once those gums and bone get infected those teeth will start to shake and become loose in no time please visit your nearby dentist and get a scaling and polishing procedure done to remove those calculus deposits this cleaning procedure should be done once in six to eight months if required for maintaining healthy gums and please do try and quit the habit

on your work and response allergy to dust particles local flora and pollen can be overcome by finding out the offending agent and avoiding it entirely such a diagnosis can be made using blood elisa

nasal rinse with neilmed purified salt and alkalol all natural products these work great we live in a small island country where we get water from mountains straight into a commercial cleaning station with filters and laser I have always used this clean tap water in a netipot and then pour a little bit of boiled water into the netipot to get the temperature perfect but now this morning when my sinus feel dry and just by accident I googled what is the best water is to use in netipot and all kinds of warnings pop put that you should never use tap water for netipot a google report says that tap water is not safe for use as a nasal rinse because it is not adequately filtered or treated some tap water contains low levels of organisms such as bacteria and protozoa including amoebas that may be safe to swallow because stomach acid kills them but in your nose these organisms can stay alive in nasal passages and cause potentially serious infections they can even be fatal in some rare cases very well I can very fast shift to distilled water and sterile water in the future but I just want to ask you if I make these changes now can I be safe that these dangerous bacteria are not living

small amounts of bacteria if at all they are present in normal water since you have not developed any significant signs and symptoms of infection there is no need to worry tap water has not caused any

like arthritis could also cause tad visit a taj specialist to identify what has caused your jaw swelling from your query and the details provided regarding the panaromic ray op the cause should probably be the change in your jaw bone structure due to the advancing age and long term medicines intake it could also be from the psychological stress if from the recent hospitalization and surgery this psychological stress or an underlying bone disparity could have triggered a subconscious level jaw clenching thereby causing a tension in your chewing muscles leading to a muscle swelling in your

I am sorry to hear about your nocturnal enuresis involuntary urination at night whilst sleeping rest assured it is according to evidence most likely not due to a serious cause and should be fleeting bupropion is known to rarely cause bedwetting as a side effect especially in the first six months bupropion works therapeutically with your body neurotransmitters chemicals used for signaling and sending of specific nervous system messages and can sometimes cause some of the minor nervous system signals to get confused for a short period making your bladder muscle contract and urethra relax for example causing bedwetting this rare bupropion side effect do go away within four to six weeks in most patients without specific treatment the following is what you could do apply a few general measures to decrease the risk of nocturnal enuresis like not having any fluids two to three hours before bedtime avoiding any caffeinated drinks after 0 am take your bupropion in the morning relax and take your time to empty your bladder completely at bedtime take any other supplements and vitamins in the morning make sure your room is properly darkened with no luminescent clock faces insight quiet room with soothing monotone white noise for example the sound of an air conditioner in the background do not think or worry about whether you might wet the bed it is a silly transient medication side effect which is out of your control for now if you are sleeping well at the moment without having much trouble falling asleep again some evidence does suggest benefit from setting a relatively soft alarm for mid sleep as I mentioned before this particular bupropion side effect should resolve by itself within four to six weeks typically if however it does not one can consider changing a second

ischemia which is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation it may also reduce obesity bodily inflammation which is again a risk factor for atrial fibrillation so there is no evidence to suggest that it induces fib or remodeling but such rigorous fasting is not recommended based on current evidence we are also not sure whether you are meeting the daily requirement of essential nutrients dehydration

already had these organisms must already be present in your vagina in a low number so the risk of acquiring this is low also the probability that those dollars carrying sad organism is less because

that your skin is very sensitive and whenever you go outside your skin is not able to tolerate the external heat and produces heat stress to your skin and skin turns red to avoid this condition drink lots of water and keep your skin hydrated this will help you to avoid this problem up to some extent during the daytime it might be due to uv ultraviolet rays of the sun it does not matter whether it is a sunny day or cloudy day the uv rays reach the earth and have effects on your skin this might be one of the reasons behind red skin so apply sunscreen lotion while going outside whether it is sun or clouds you can choose any sunscreen lotion of any reputed brand apply half an hour ago while going outside if only sensitive skin is the reason behind your redness then you can also apply aloe vera gel twice a day it is very helpful for sensitive skin and helps a lot with your problem if it is stress or anxiety induced redness then try to keep calm your mind and body and sleep adequately eat fresh fruits and vegetables it will help to keep hour skin hydrated and healthy redness can be mild moderate or severe if it is in mild form and does not causing you any other harm then try all these

only very slightly below normal and it is not impacting her day to day in a noticeable way so for the moment the audiology team are just monitoring it my worry is that I accidentally caused it when she was a baby there was one time when she was a young baby maybe months old and she was in a rear facing car seat in the front of my car I her ears were near the speakers at the front of the car I turned the engine on and the radio blasted out really loud I think it was probably on volume 12 or 13 I turned it down straight away and she did not cry but now I feel awful that I may have damaged her hearing please could you tell me how likely it is a one off incident like this would have caused it", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to icliniq com I understand your worry I would say it is possible to develop such a hearing loss due to what we call acoustic trauma noise induced however we can never be sure whether the loss is due to that incident or due to some other or if the loss was congenitally present what you can do to prevent further deterioration is prevent her from listening to loud music keep her away from loud sounds try and use noise isolation buds when there is excessive noise outside eat a healthy diet and meditate rather than worrying about what could have caused the loss I think it will be prudent to prevent any further damage to the ear and guide your

buprenorphine is given to treat opioid dependence prozac is an antidepressant I think because of your disease process cervical radiculopathy in your case you have been taking some pain killers mostly opioids for a long time doctor might have prescribed suboxone to take you off opioid dependence suboxone can cause a certain amount of drowsiness and has potential to interact with many drugs to cause side effects some of which may be significant the decision on continuing suboxone and prozac until the day of surgery should be taken in discussion with your surgeon and anesthesiologist it also depends on what anesthesia they are going to use during surgery it also depends on ur respiratory system how well it is functioning your fear is that if put on opioid again post surgery you may get addicted again be assured that as long as you are under medical supervision and adhere to instructions addiction potential will be less as far as my knowledge goes they will definitely consider

all drugs whatsoever you take are only helpful symptomatically so as long as you take medication you feel good but there is no choice as there is no permanent cure for allergies so I advise you to start montelukast 10mg one at night continue rhinocort nasal spray and claritin it is must to repeat blood allergy test as prick test can not test all available allergens and role of unknown allergens can not be neglected so avoiding the known trigger allergen and continuing the symptomatic treatment is the best solution for your problem continuous scrutiny must be going on to find out exact

after how painful it is likely to be and whether it is likely to cause any sort of facial deformity the periodontist insists it will not be painful as I will be on anesthetic measure but I could really use a second opinion as I am not finding much online regarding this process would it be advisable to get it done or should I refuse to go for it please also advise on what to expect the

com I have gone through your query and understand your concern if you pull down your lower lip you will see a small stretch of muscle connecting your lip to the gums just below your lower front teeth this small flap of skin and muscle is called the frenulum frenectomy is a minor surgery that removes this small bit of tissue this procedure is advised if the frenum is highly attached to the gums it constantly pulls our gums down on every lip movement this leads to premature gum recession and early tooth loss this process will be much faster especially in the lower tooth because they are the smallest tooth and have little gums surrounding them on the day of the procedure the frenulum and the gums surrounding it will be anesthetized and the highly attached frenulum will be gently snipped and the remaining tissues will be repositioned and sutured this will be a minor procedure after which you will be put under antibiotics and painkillers for the next three days the next three days to a week will be your healing period during which it is better you avoid or limit talking and lip movements you can take three days off so to facilitate easy healing these three days off is not because of the procedure but because of the sensitivity of those small muscles which is in the process of healing this will not cause any major changes to your facial and lip structure if your frenulum is causing lower gum recession I recommend you to get frenectomy done soon to prevent future gum recession and tooth loss I hope this clears all your concerns" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor I have

debilitating that I can no longer work they happened occasionally at first but now three to four times each day always upon weakening and last for hours at a time it begins in my mid abdomen I feel and see pulsating in my abdomen and get a wet sensation as though the fluid is leaking out of my chest or belly if I push on that area or usually all by itself I get an instant rush of blood to my head and start to feel fuzzy my face turns bright red and becomes so hot that I get nauseous the redness sometimes stays sometimes goes away but what always follows immediately is intense heat

the symptoms but yes it does not explain what is happening in your legs the symptoms do see to be of hypersensitivity do these symptoms happen after a hot water bath as well do you feel any shock like sensation from the neck below for the popliteal cyst it is a bakers cyst it is totally different from aneurysm as aneurysm will be pulsating and moreover it is a very unusual site for it to happen normally it does respond to injection cortisone but sometimes if the injection does not go in the right place it can persist you may need to repeat the injection after a month or so incase it is persisting as for localized scleroderma it is a benign form and ana can go negative at times we can either call it a lab error or at times the body does act through to make it negative how much has been the skin extent in your scleroderma though to summarize we need to figure out a cause for your symptoms scleroderma does not explain it we need to see if it is an sec superior vena cava

the teeth but this is not proved on the papers by research coming to trisodium phosphate it is one of the ingredients present in less percentage in the toothpaste which is chemically basic and removes stains but it is a commercial agent used as degreaser and stain remover otherwise the problem using these chemicals in dental cleaning is that you will not be sure how much percentage of the active chemical components you expose on the tooth surfaces in the did do it yourself project these might see effective but lack of studies and research making it unsuitable for daily usage no

important before the treatment is started urine microscope and sonography of abdomen and pelvis are initial urine and scanning modalities which are required for diagnosis physical examination by a urologist is also of paramount importance as something it is the best morality to detect the diagnosis so I would advise you for now you take plenty of fluids as repeated urination can wash out the

this is because of the white chalky substance layered on to the tooth surfaces on the gum lines which I had noticed in the picture you sent these are cleanable and needs professional clean up from the dentist just simple brushing will not help get rid of it secondly please do not give excuses for not brushing your teeth it is incredibly as important as you eat food everyday for your little tummy mouth is the starting point for digestion and only when you do not have a clean mouth you automatically flush in all the bacteria into the stomach with every food plus any food debris which are not cleaned up stay in between the teeth and cause tooth decays as well you have mentioned that you had a filling which confirms that you had a decayed tooth so kindly follow your brushing habits as a routine every morning and night with a pea sized neutral toothpaste thirdly coming to the gaps between your front teeth it is just the way your permanent teeth has erupted and nothing to do with the

cannot harm rectal mucosa or oral mucosa or make a new disease only if your partner has a disease that is transmitted via body fluids only then you can get it same scenario with two males their dna will not react together to make a disease but that said anal fissures can result from lack of lubrication improper dilatation and improper penetration however you end your query by saying you and your

couple of times back now I am putting on braces my orthodontist said that I have to remove my premolars in order to make room but I feel like you could just push back my molars somewhat where the wisdom teeth used to be is it possible very similar to the bottom except he wants to remove one front tooth to make room but I feel like you could just push back the molars a little bit to make room",

serve the purpose to chew well instead of harm the surrounding gums and in orthodontic treatment the molars cannot be shifted because that will collapse the whole contacts between the teeth there is a rule that the molars have to hit each other at certain points only then it helps you in chewing your food efficiently hence there is no harm in pulling out the premolars in order to gain space because there would not be any gap left behind after the treatment is completed so I advise you not to panic because you are losing your premolar tooth but that is definitely going to help the treatment

all so much pain I have been taking hydromorphone and oxycodone and celebrex anti inflammatory pills all night and day friday and today not getting better it is either a really good strain or a tear I have iced it I have got my home tens unit on it right now and often throughout the day night this feels like it is the exact same muscle that I hurt at the rehab center three years back and it really

much probably made it worse or aggravated it sorry so here is my question I have dry needled in the past and it has helped a lot but is it okay to dry needle if it is a torn glue muscle or even a strain the tens machine seems to take some of the pain away but could my tens be making things worse also I have been in bed laid up all day and night yesterday literally only crawling to the bathroom

you can say it as does which is sometimes common as one lands or take a flight for taking up the shot but the pain is not reducing is not making things clear whether it is a does or muscle strain as both of it should resolve within 4 days of time so what I can advice is continue with tens and take proper rest tens will never make the injury worse its a morality for reducing the pain I will advice to take tens for almost 30 40 minutes 4 times a day and allow a complete bed rest without doing much mobility we can expect the pain to come down drastically in case after a day or two of applying tens for 30 40 minutes if the pain still persist we need to look for other factors but rest is what is needed without having much mobility in the muscle" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I was suffering

for disc bulging because in the past I have had headaches and neck pain with my fibre the bulging disc pain was within three hours numb hurting tingling arm all the way down after helping a coworker shovel and then running a big vibrating roller it was different than bursitis I have ever experienced I developed a headache after the pain in my arm calmed down the headache was in the front left of my forehead definitely not a tension fibre headache I also have occipital neuralgia that came with the fibre in the back of my scalp after hearing that it can happen while doing anything was when I came to the conclusion that is the only thing I did differently that day I feel like no matter what happens to me the fibromyalgia will get the blame after researching degenerative disc disease almost everyone has it I do not think this is a well known fact it happens as you age and can be as early as your teens and 20 people also want to blame things on that as a pre existing condition yet if they had an mri they would have it too otherwise my spine is beautiful according to my doctor I am 51 years old and was a heavy equipment operator and a pa for my aunt at the same time while having three teenagers at home the fibromyalgia and stress is really getting to me now though and I am having a tough time even working eight hours a week as a pa just so tired and fed up with misconceptions and lack of doctor and public awareness I hope this post and your answer will help other fibromyalgia patients because I know I am not the only one dealing with this", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I have read through your query in detail please find my observations below fibromyalgia is still a less understood illness with pain and discomfort involving muscles and bones and the main feature includes that it is puzzling or difficult to identify it is elusive and is a diagnosis the diagnosis is made on the elimination of known conditions which might cause similar symptoms after using standard diagnostic tests and investigations therefore if a patient is known to have bulging discs then it has to differ from fibromyalgia in other words you might have had fibromyalgia if there is no particular finding in the mri magnetic resonance imaging scan therefore it is important to document mri scan findings and then the diagnosis of fibromyalgia might be set aside and changed to include degenerative disc disease following the proof of bulging discs the problem is that probably earlier investigations have led your employers to believe that you have fibromyalgia however a single incident has changed things for you and they refuse to accept it the best way out will be to have evidence based medical diagnosis and take suggested treatment I agree that there is a lot of miscommunication about fibromyalgia and people with real problems are often labeled wrongly considering an earlier diagnosis which was made months to years back in conclusion fibromyalgia is not concerned with bulging discs and if your mri scan shows bulging discs which might be related to your pain and discomfort symptoms then you have the option of making a point with the workman comp authority hope this answers your question" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my mother is 62 years old she is a diabetic on oh and under good glycemic control she weighs about 56 keg she is suffering from

give you a brief over view of the anatomy of our ear our ear consists of three main parts namely outer ear middle ear inner ear the outer ear is separated from middle ear by our ear drum that means that there is our ear drum which prevents entry of anything even air from the outer to the middle ear the middle ear is separated from the inner ear by a hard bone so there is no question of passage of anything from the middle ear to inner ear apart from the sound now coming to your query so seek to have had eustachian tube dysfunction eustachian tube is a tube which connects the ear to nose secondary to the common cold and sinus inflammation oregano oil can be an irritant and can cause significant pain when it comes in contact with sensitive structures of the ear such as skin and ear drum but the ear drum is very resistant and would not allow the passage of air inside the middle ear since the doctor has already examined your ear and ruled out any significant injury to the ear drum or any significant infections there is no need for worry there is no possibility of any bacterial meningitis or any harm to your body due to oregano oil probably there is physical injury to the skin of the outer ear and will heal in a few days" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am 25 years old I have a small penis size about 5 inches after erection and night falls five to seven times in a month my

"hello I read your query and understand your concerns from the mentioned parameters there is nothing normal other than night fall which is five to seven times per month regarding night falls I like to inform you that this is a natural process our body keeps on producing sperms irrespective of our sexual activity if the sperm get the way of outside by either sexual intercourse or masturbation then the problem is less likely to occur if somebody is not sexually active and not doing masturbation to release these sperm they get discharged automatically this is a kind of overflow this is more likely to occur when we have a lot of sexual fantasies and get dreams of sex or some other activity with beautiful girls the current night fall is may be all these things either you are not sexually active or not doing masturbation or getting dreams of sex or a combination of all these in regard to medical perspective there is nothing abnormal with this but in my view you need to get an appropriate partner for you it happens to almost everybody when they are not sexually active for a couple of days or weeks regarding your small size penis I would like to inform you that the average size of penis across the globe is three to five inches while erect presence of 5 inch size of penis is also absolutely normal and there is nothing to worry about this do not go for porn movies and old stories where a large penis is depicted as manhood capability even in the literature the girth of the penis is given more importance than length I will explain why the size does not matter the normal size of female vagina is about six to seven inches and out of this only outer one third is sensitive so I mean to say that a man who is able to stimulate outer one third of vagina is equal in sexual pleasure to the one who is able to stimulate full length to stimulate one third of female vagina a man need just three inch penis and nothing more fortunately you have much bigger than the minimum size of penis and you can satisfy any women who have normal size vagina other than this the sexual pleasure depends on the other factors like your age lust attraction to the partner your stress level to name a few the most important factor in sexual satisfaction is foreplay which takes place before true intercourse if you can devote sufficient time to it you are a man in true sense I hope this

it is good that your knee mri magnetic resonance imaging is normal which means you do not have something major to worry about regarding chondromalacia patella as diagnosed it is usually due to just

psychological issues however I will address the last part directly where you feel the urge or acting on the urge causes you to lose focus you can try the following divide your day into hours given over to all activities and then try to stay within the allotted time for each this includes meal times time allotted for bathroom breaks and masturbation along with different subjects do not forget to allot yourself free time to pursue whatever you want even if it 30 minutes per day if you feel the urge during a time allotted for another activity it means you have lost focus so shift to another activity and then get back to the remaining time for the former try to incorporate exercise in your schedule endorphins are released in both so that might distract you as well last but not least you do need therapy to figure out which issues bother you anal masturbation in any form excessive masturbation or your inability to concentrate this can be provided by a school or college counselor as a start if you cannot contact a psychiatrist or psychologist I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am 19 years old last year I failed in maths exam and now I am trying to pass it my exam is

and see that there are several surgical options I am looking for a recommendation for the least invasive but effective procedure on a side note the only time I can go for hours without having to urinate is if I am drinking alcohol beer after three or four beers I urinate with a very strong stream and for a long time I then do not have the urge to go again for almost three hours I realize that

flow is fair with current medications and you do not hold much residual urine on sonography you may consider continuing the same medications and add an anticholinergic to reduce the frequency of urination if the flow is poor and or if there is large residual urine or if you are tired of taking medications you can consider surgery prostate surgery is minimally invasive done through urine tube and usually requires one to two day stay in hospital the gold standard is turn transurethral resection of the prostate or hole holmium laser enucleation of the prostate hole is basically prostate surgery done endoscopically with holmium laser this reduces bleeding and gives faster recovery compared to the older turn method thulium laser is equally good other less invasive options are green light laser tum transurethral microwave thermotherapy prostate lift etc which are day care but success rates are lower and generally indicated for smaller prostate or unfit patients alcohol increases urine formation and so temporarily you feel better flow but it only puts more strain on your bladder so avoid binge drinking or holding urine for a long consult your doctor for the best decision I

change and was told nothing further was needed before few months I started having almost daily headaches tingling in my head dizzy spells memory issues and brain fog occasional nausea and pressure

appointment which was last week I had a third mri and was told the cysts have grown to over am and the report shows that rather than a cluster of cysts as diagnosed before it could actually be a slow growing tumor in addition there is now and second unusual spot on the front of my brain since it is unclear what is going on my family doctor has requested to have another mri as well my doctor is requesting an ma because my father had a massive brain aneurysm at age 48 so she has suggested looking at the vessels as well then my doctor will refer me to a neurologist however this process takes

while until last week the same guy also had sex with my best friend the same night which I was unaware of I also resumed having sex with my constant partner two days later a few days had passed and the sores from my skin picking have not gone away but instead have ulcerated in some areas there are probably eight or so ulcers they scab up sometimes but the scabs do not stay attached I am concerned now because my best friend has also noticed ulcerated areas in her genital realm and is concerned she has genital herpes I fear that I might also but at the same time I am not sure whether or not it would be an sad or just from where I picked at my own skin at first she was concerned she had gonorrhea or chlamydia I do not have as much concern about those there are hairs centered on all

and physical examination and order some tests to look for the presence of bacteria in the lesions and some other venereal diseases some of the conditions can only be confirmed by blood tests it would be advisable to get your friend and contacts too examined and investigated at the same time especially if you are going to have them as partners in the future too whether directly or indirectly at

happen due to straterra atomoxetine but very rare complex cannot produce such symptoms but still better to stop it if not a genuine deficiency state in my opinion no need to evaluate further except

pain has continued I think that it now mostly comes before bowel movements unlike before which was more random suggesting a colonic cause but I am not sure I also have soft stools but they could be related to a high fiber diet attached are some pet it pictures were taken five and a half months after the symptoms began the radiologist claimed that there were no modular findings seen in the colon but I can see some mildly elevated modular activity as well as a possible thickening in the lower left abdomen where the symptoms are the axial view is mirrored is the structure highlighted a part of the colon wall or a lymph node what are the black areas that surround the node should I opt for another colonoscopy a needle biopsy or just forget about this", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to

determined to be of uterine origin please note that as a radiologist I always feel confident when I can view the full set of the scan that I am asked to review however as you and the reporting radiologist are well convinced about the rest of the imagery my opinion about the selected images that you have attached is as follows the black areas represent the gas in your bowels about the encircled area please note that pet it is based on the principle that many pathological lesions accumulated much higher amounts of fog fluorodeoxy glucose than the normal tissue because of this basic principle positive findings on pet are always vidly visible this is unlike other imaging such as it mri or ray where we often have to look for subtle findings look at the urinary bladder where the excreted fog has accumulated this is excreted fog not a lesion in the bladder if there were any pet positive lesion in your abdomen it would show up as bright as the bladder now look at the area you have encircled it has some brightness and although it looks more prominent than the surroundings its appearance still does not match what we expect a lesion to look like please also note that the main image of these types of studies is the axial image and the others are reconstructed by software also the pet image is superimposed on the it image by software such manipulations often result in the creation of image artifacts in my opinion the brightness in the encircled area and its surroundings is artefactual the mild elevations that you fell you can see are likely due to the folding of the bowel loops yes there are some lesions that are pet negative and there are the causes of lower abdominal pain lap that do not create a change in imaging studies therefore your next step should be to discuss with your gastroenterologist about these types of possibilities truly lap is caused not only by cancers seen on pet but also due to vascular inflammatory invective and other pathologies

my penis is dry and I feel less sensitivity when having sex I normally ejaculate within five to ten minutes after insertion no medical conditions like seizure of fits but I feel tired at times I had

this situation", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi at the age of 30 the neurological illness diabetes and hypertension are not common so mostly the cause is anxiety and stress for erectile problems stress and worries can make a person distracted even while masturbation when a person watches a porn movie because of the visual content a person cannot have much distraction but when a person is doing masturbation or sex he may have distraction because of stress in addition to this stress and anxiety can cause low sexual desire financial issues work load at job daily hustles conflict with spouse repeated worry about failure in bed and partner satisfaction are the main reason for psychological erectile problems these are the sources of stress what you have to do is forget about the past failures and make a new beginning for initial four to five encounters in sex you should not go for penetration and just enjoy the foreplay spending more time in foreplay helps in holding erection for longer it also helps in identifying the sensitive areas for arousal in your partner the sensitive areas in female are neck nipple clitoris and anterior wall of vagina during foreplay you have to concentrate on these regions after four to five sexual encounters without penetration you can start intercourse and with prolonged foreplay take help from your partner for holding erection longer like oral sex and masturbation by your partner or whatever she is comfortable with if you are not confirmed about your morning erection then you can perform a bedside test like a paper test in this test you have to apply a strip of paper about am around your penis base while it is in the flaccid state it should be tight enough and use gum to stick both the ends of paper around the penis base when your penis gets an erection during the early morning the paper will be ruptured and this will be the positive finding that it gets normal morning erection if you are depressed then take a visit to a psychiatrist and get treated with antidepressants you can visit a good psychiatrist or sexologist in your city and undergo sexual counseling and therapy bupropion can help in increasing your libido continue it other drugs that can be used for the same are pramipexole cyproheptadine etc pramipexole can be started at a dose of 125 my three times a day dose can be increased to 25 my three times a day after one week I suggest you to continue bupropion and wait for one month if you do not find any improvement then change to pramipexole there is no need to worry about circumcision it can cause

regular followups I can also see that these nodules are quite stable and have not undergone any worrisome change nor have any cervical lymph nodes been found enlarged but you are presently concerned about the structure with internal vascularity which is a newer statement it is quite natural to be worried about such a finding but give me the pleasure of saying that it is only one of the four parathyearoid glands that are attached very close to the thyearoid the internal vascularity is only an identifying point of parathyearoids rather than any clue to an abnormality the size of the parathyearoid may raise suspicion as to whether it is enlarged such as in parathyearoid hyperplasia adenoma or carcinoma however parathyearoid hyperplasia is accompanied by a finding of calcification in the gland while carcinoma cancer is characterized by invasion into surrounding organs your report says which appears to be separated from as for parathyearoid adenoma please be assured that this disease manifests itself quite clearly in clinical and laboratory features such as abdominal pain due to the formation of gallstones renal stones bone pain abnormal calcium and phosphate levels and altered parathormone therefore considering all points I would like to assure you that internal vascularity is not a cause of worry and the parathyearoid even if it is marginally enlarged should also not create anxiety unless your doctor finds features of hyperparathyearoidism in your clinical or lab findings since I do not know your clinical or lab findings mentioned above I suggest that you may

requires evaluation of the cause most common causes of such liver derangement are alcohol viral hepatitis non alcoholic fatty liver disease and drugs however the rise is not very high still we should rule out possibilities like hepatitis and because they can later cause liver cirrhosis I would advise you to get the following investigations done hbsag surface antigen for hepatitis 2 anti hav hepatitis virus antibody for hepatitis 3 ultrasound abdomen a lot many times liver dysfunction is due to non alcoholic fatty liver disease nafld so if you have any evidence of fatty liver in ultrasound and your other tests are negative this rise is liver enzyme would be attributed to nafld for this you need to reduce your weight reduce fat in the diet and if required your doctor may prescribe you ursodeoxycholic acid for the same make sure that you do not take any pain killers without your doctor advice I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my son is years old and

conjunctivitis is a chronic condition and requires treatment for a long time it usually decreases in severity by 15 years of age the treatment mainly involves the use of antiallergic drugs like olopatadine with steroid eye drops in acute and severe cases since the treatment is required for a long time the treatment needs to be done under the supervision of an ophthalmologist hence I advise

since I think they may be related to each other I have been suffering from lower back glue hip pain that radiates down my legs sometimes into my heels even for around five years this began after a hard fall onto my right buttock although weirdly now most of the pain is on the left side I have also had some foot issues metatarsal pain and now pain on the outer edge of the front of my feet I have not been diagnosed with a bunion but it is on its way there I have been prescribed insoles that help with the metatarsal pain but not the bunion pain when I initially presented with metatarsal pain the podiatrist also diagnosed me with tight hamstrings which I definitely notice also since then I have done all sorts of physiotherapies aimed at lessening the pain in my lower back hip as far as I can tell it is the si joint causing me issues the pain gets worse if I am static in any position for too long sitting standing laying down I recently decided to investigate further and had an mri scan which revealed no issues in my si joint but showed that my back is fairly straight as in not a very pronounced curve which is probably contributing to the pain in my lower back the orthopedic surgeon also mentioned that my lower three discs are somewhat degenerated and bulging a little too something that could eventually become a hernia but is not necessarily the cause of my pain right now so I do not have any straight answers so far my plan for the moment is to focus on strengthening my back my core is quite strong but I will continue to work on that too and working compression exercises for my lower back into my routine I think this may help to stop or reverse my bulging disc issue I have been doing more forward folds than backbends I practice yoga regularly and am incorporating more strength training into that routine so I am reversing that trend now after learning about my bulging discs I will also try to strengthen my glutes as I heard this can help with the pain having read all of this what can you recommend does my regime sound good I also have an appointment with a physiotherapist who specializes in backs near where I live but in the meantime I would like to hear as much as possible from outside sources about what their assessment and advice would be", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello looking at the discs in the mri that you sent I do not think there is a cause of leg pain there degeneration of discs leads to overload and pain in the back with local radiation leg pain comes from disc pathology with entrapment of the adjacent nerve roots the second possibility is the si sacroiliac joint that you are saying is normal core and back strengthening will help always and I will recommend that you do more isometric of the spine and reduce forward flexion that causes the disc to bulge backward gluteal and hamstrings stretches are crucial finally try pregabalin 75 my twice a day for three weeks to see if the pain is relieved metatarsal pain is just an incidental issue that have happened together with leg and back pain" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor my mother fell on her right arm a few days later she noticed a wound on the dorsum of the right arm

might be something else upon the looks of it the doctor wanted a biopsy as she said it could be cancerous too while waiting for the results the wound closed and decreased in size and signs of inflammation are gone today we got the results and it says hypodermic and dermis with hyperkeratosis severe dysplasia of the squamous epithelium chronic inflammatory changes in the dermis now I started reading to try and understand and what confuses me is the severe dysplasia of squamous epithelium is that carcinoma in situ in some literature they differentiate the two in others they claim it is the same I also came upon the fact that when there is an ulcer or inflammation reactive atypia and dysplasia may look the same hence the dysplasia may be from the inflammation how is that determined is it a wound that is in the stages of healing or is it precancerous what should be done in this case can we wait for one or two weeks to see if the crust will fall as in a healing wound and then perhaps have a biopsy on clean skin or should it be removed immediately with a suspicion that it might progress to cancer if it should be removed what is the time frame should it be done immediately I also talked to a surgeon friend who thinks if it is cut immediately it would cause a bigger wound which might be slow to heal again I have attached the progression of the wound",

atorvastatin blood thinner tablet aspirin clopidogrel and heart rate reduction tablet beta blockers atenolol nebivolol bisoprolol the cause of your father symptoms has to be found out low be can be caused by high heart rates and palpitation arrhythmia in such a scenario your father has to be reviewed by his cardiologist to see if there is a trigger like decreased blood supply ischemia or salt imbalance electrolyte abnormality and adjust the medications both be and heart rate medication a low sugar will usually raise heart rate and be but here the be had fallen so low sugar hypoglycemia may not be the cause of these symptoms one thing you might like to keep in mind is that if someone is on blocker his heart rate will not go up during hypoglycemia so the cause of low sugar remains unexplained a review of his diabetic management viz timing of diet intake dosage of insulin medications timing of medicines type of insulin have to be reviewed to find the cause a simple and common reason would be that he could have reduced his food intake or avoided it altogether due to his heart symptoms on that day resulting in low blood sugar now coming to his present symptom of palpitation as his sugar level is normal range as per your information it seems unlikely that his diabetes could be the cause of his palpitations so my advice is to recheck his blood sugar both fasting and post food two to three times to confirm the absence of low sugar and to review the heart condition and medication with his cardiologist a point of note is that if your father is quite elderly has been a long term diabetic has other co existing medical conditions like kidney dysfunction mobility issues it is better to go for a medium control of diabetes rather than very tight control of blood sugar

spoon never use a feeding bottle if you have a habit of bottle feeding please stop it and never use again you can add ghee or butter to semisolid foods which will increase the calorie content of food

proceed with a root canal treatment in my opinion your appointment would be too late and you cannot be on paracetamol for so long there are a lot of chances for a bigger swelling or discoloration of

weight", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I went through the details you have provided in the query lactose intolerance is the absence of lactose enzyme which helps to digest and break down sugars mainly lactose in the diet lactose intolerance is of two types primary secondary in primary lactose intolerance there will be deficiency of this enzyme permanently and will have to avoid for life time or needs enzyme replacement for life in secondary intolerance deficiency is only transient and will regain the enzyme in a few days this occurs mostly after episodes of gastroenteritis and needs to avoid lactose diet for a few days or weeks your child needs further evaluation to check if it is primary or secondary the reports you have sent are not clear the second one culture if positive will need treatment with antibiotics though breast milk contains lactose and not easily digested by lactose intolerant babies it is not advised to stop breast feeding as advantage of continuing breast feeding outweighs problems due to lactose intolerance though giving lactose free feeds reduces symptoms like loose motions and bloating my advice at this point is to continue breastfeeding but if loose stools are causing dehydration or weight loss in baby then go for lactose free formula and repeat stool examination and tests for lactose intolerance again since it might be transient only and might improve in about one to two weeks and if repeat testing is normal then normal breastfeeding can be given without any worry I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor I have sharp pain in the right eye

for an mri could this be some kind of hernia", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi sorry to hear about your injury since your it computed tomography scan is normal it is very unlikely that there is any bony or skeletal injury hence reducing the possibility of something permanent it appears that there is some soft tissue injury in the laryngopharyngeal region or a cartilaginous injury that is resolving very slowly this indicates an injury closer to the voice box region because of constant movements during speech laughter and swallowing delay recovery this may also explain why it is taking so long to heal completely in my opinion an mri magnetic resonance imaging is certainly indicated since there has been no improvement in symptoms for five weeks and to look for cartilaginous injury or soft tissue lesions such as a granuloma or hematoma following trauma in addition a video laryngoscope performed by an ent will help to evaluate the voice box and supporting apparatus internally for any injury specifically the inter arytenoid region a hernia in the neck or a laryngocele may be a possibility following neck injury but seems very unlikely in your case since there is no visible bulge in the

constipation straining etc hemorrhoids can be avoided by encouraging more oral fluids avoiding constipation straining exercises especially abdomen fiber rich diet etc you most probably need to visit a

is the logic behind that can you please explain I am immensely afraid of the disease", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello the fact that dengue cannot happen in the same season is true to some extent but not absolutely let me explain dengue is a viral infection caused by the bite of infected ages aegypti mosquito every mosquito bite will not lead to dengue fever as for infection to happen first the mosquito should be infected by the dengue virus dev by infection of the mosquito I mean the mosquito just serves as a vector or carrier for virus transfer to humans also every mosquito carrying the dengue virus would not lead to dengue fever shock etc some people just have subclinical asymptomatic infections too there are actually four types of dengue viruses numbered from to infection with one type followed by recovery confers immunity to that type of infection our body produces antibodies against the virus and protects us from further infection with time these antibodies fade away so immunity in dev is present but is short lived it can be said that the infection cannot occur in the same season but if an infection with another type say dev type followed by dev type occurs the body does not have antibodies which are protective against type as the body was previously infected by dev type this type of infection is more dangerous however in a season only one type of dev infection occurs usually I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I had a root canal done three months ago on tooth 19 I have not had a crown done yet due to financial reasons I went to a new dentist for tooth pain in that area and he said he could not help me because the rays showed the root canal was not finished I called my endodontist back and they basically refused to see me back and said they did complete the root canal and the reason they did not fill one of the roots was for post space well my rays have been reviewed by an oral surgeon and another endodontist in the meantime who have all concluded that the root canal does not look complete as one of the roots is not filled with the filling material that is used it was also determined that tooth 18 needed a root canal but was not going to be certain to work and I may end up losing that tooth for financial reasons I opted to have tooth 18 pulled five days ago in hopes of helping the severe tooth jaw and ear pain that I am having it did not work I am still having the pain and to complicate matters I now have bone exposure on the tongue side of where my tooth was extracted I saw the surgeon yesterday and he filed it down my headaches are ridiculous and of course I worry the infection is spreading to my head I have had three recent sinus surgeries and this does not feel the same I have been on amoxicillin for over a week now but my tooth pain in 19 has increased since the extraction do you have any suggestions I am currently taking amoxicillin and norco", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I have read through your complaint and the relevant details and also saw the ray you have attached tooth number 19 seems to have a good apical seal in the root fillings the first dentist was right in saying that there is a space prepared for the post fixture there is one cusp missing in the tooth hence the treatment plan was a post and core followed by a crown the pain is definitely not because of this root canal treated tooth the reason behind this is that only poorly cleaned prepared or poorly filled roots retain the bugs to stay within the roots while deteriorating the tooth and give pain in your case the root fillings are excellent since you told you are not able to get a crown due to financial reasons at the moment the treatment plan could have been changed maybe at least the post could have been fixed leaving the crown fabrication at the last in that case at least the tooth stays stronger for a while and does not break off when you bite hard food next regarding the tooth extracted area you have mentioned that the bone is exposed now I doubt if you have got dry socket not to be mistaken for infection due to improper healing of the gums over there this might be the reason for the severe pain secondly tooth number 20 also has decay on the sides which makes me to advise you to get another ray for that tooth the current ray does not show the complete tooth this particular tooth might also be the reason for pain please do not worry that the infection spreads to the head there is no such possibility for that right now either 18 dry socket or 20 decay has to be addressed to help you get rid of the pain continue taking amoxicillin as prescribed and for pain relief you can switch to ibuprofen 400 my orally eight hourly for two days provided you do not have asthma or gastritis problems else continue narco tablet for two more days hence I advise you to visit back to the dentist and get done with further checkups as I mentioned above periapical ray for tooth number 20 to rule out interproximal cares pulpits in 20 saline irrigation and zinc oxide eugenol dressing for dry socket in 18 gargle mouth with lukewarm saltwater thrice daily for three days to flush out debris from

in a very initial stage of dysfunction and might become frank with time if we treat it now the levels will come back to normal and you might not need further treatment secondary hyperthyearoidism in this case all the three readings go up which I see in your report the problem here is with the pituitary gland in the brain which stimulates the thyearoid gland to produce more so the fault is not with thyearoid gland at a primary level for this to confirm you will need a try thyearotropin releasing hormone level which is the stimulant of the thyearoid I would suggest you meet your

due to an injury if there is an ulcer on the sole side of the toe duration of the infection if the toe is swollen and red if there is pus and importantly are you in pain scenario now if the infection has started on its own if it had started on the side of the nail bed paronychia and of short duration then it is relatively straightforward you need antibiotics to cover the most common bacteria causing superficial skin infection penicillin family and anti inflammatory to reduce swelling and pain diclofenac group scenario if you had an ulcer on the underside of the toe and that has lead to an infection of the toe itself then it is something that needs specialist consultation for involvement of infection of the toe bone and the extent of the infection has to be assessed and if in need of powerful antibiotics oral or iv may have to be considered apart from the drainage of pus clearing of dead tissue from infection site and dressing of the wound if you do not feel pain then it is

some inert material the best choice would be sugarless chewing gum just chew one and pack it yourself with a blunt end of some spoon that can be easily grabbed at the kitchen drawers make sure you wash your mouth before you do this and also use cleaned spoons preferably disinfected in hot water for 15 minutes this can stay for a week time most probably when packed tight later on visit the

that any reactions will be severe if the test is negative it means that one does not have the ability to mount an allergic reaction to that allergen and any symptoms one may be experiencing are probably not due to an allergic reaction to that substance however the results of the last need to be interpreted in conjunction with your clinical history g the presence of allergy to some or few allergens which may possibly be present either in the environment or food does not necessarily mean that they are responsible for the symptoms because if they are not even present in the environment or food of an individual then they are irrelevant in your case an elimination diet has not helped thus proving the fact that last test results should be carefully interpreted along with clinical history and does not necessarily mean that you will necessarily have an allergic reaction to the substance that you tested angioedema is frequently associated with urticaria pathogenesis is the same for both urticaria as well as angioedema the presence of angioedema does not always mean that it is a part of anaphylaxis angioedema can be a part of anaphylaxis in those individuals who have a severe

it is not necessary that only radiologist findings to be final also there are adrenal metastasis only ablation of liver mets will not cure the disease as it is stage that means it is spread to other organs already so treatment of metastatic lesions will not cure primary disease irinotecan not worked suggests that it is chemoresistant malignancy so any palliative treatment will not work in future last thing about prognosis you have already been told by your primary oncophysician about it is stage disease now with no response to palliative chemotherapy so prognosis is very grave he is so lucky that in spite of such progressive disease he is asymptomatic at present but we cannot predict exactly when the things will go wrong and the period he will be alright so better to continue only symptomatic palliative care" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I was wondering if an anesthesiologist would mind getting interviewed I am writing a research paper and could not contact any

we do administer ga in this scenario we avoid opioids drugs since they cross the placental barrier which is can affect the baby I use induction drugs like propofol muscle relaxation with succinylcholine and vecuronium and maintenance with nitrous oxide and oxygen once the baby is delivered I give the opioids for the pain relief yes I am aware but I just follow my hospital team protocols opioids drugs like fentanyl pentazocine etc can affect the fetus neonate I am unaware of the effects of other anesthetic drugs on the fetus neonate I do not practice pediatric anesthesia not

mouth and I do not have a top left canine what are my options to fill the gap a bridge or an implant or anything else not braces please and the fewer appointments are better", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi first of all I need to know your age the treatment plan varies according to the age factor secondly the impacted tooth no matter where it is it should be 100 removed this is done to reduce the possibility of complications in the future it cannot even form a cyst abscess etc because it is prone to infections only after the removal and depending on the remaining space restoration options are considered if you are young then braces option will give you the best result because it does not involve grinding of teeth plus it gives you a permanent result even though the time frame is more for the treatment it is worth it next is the bridge option here there is grinding of teeth on either side of the gap reliable but why do you want to unnecessarily grind the teeth which might make your teeth sensitive when the bridge fails in the long run then you got to fix it again double expense implant is a good option this depends on how sound is your jaw bone and for canines it is mostly not considered because of the difficulty in imitating the natural aesthetics for a detailed and customized treatment plan please visit your dentist and discuss the best option that suits your age and the

healing tissues please do not disturb them meanwhile avoid hot and spicy foods do warm saline mouth rinses thrice daily rinse mouth after every meal drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated at

how hard it is for you right now anger hatred past traumas and experiences consume us all in your case it has gone a little too far but the fact that you have reached out even after trying everything is enough for me to see hope and tell you that yes there is still something that can be done change is hard and it takes huge amounts of strength and struggle but if you have decided that you need to get out of this situation and you are willing to do anything for it then no one can stop you I would suggest you to first ask yourself how determined are you for a change if this is just another call to check if things can work and you yourself have doubts then surely you will fail and everything you try will fail as well if you decide that you will find a way out then no one can stop you I would suggest starting therapy sessions regularly with a psychotherapy expert if you cannot find one then you can opt for online therapy sessions with me first you need to vent out and learn to let go of past traumas it will be hard and will take time but until and unless you do that you cannot move forward once you are there that is when we can focus on building new perspective and living a good life again telling you it will be really hard but it is possible so find a local therapist or opt for a video consultation and we can talk I hope this helps take care" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I have

lead to duodenal ulcers pi proton pump inhibitors are ion proton inhibitors they block acid secretion and hence are helpful in this type now the catch here is pyloric usually pyloric is harmful and causes destruction of gastric glands but in case of astral gastritis where the gastric glands are hypersecreting the destruction of these glands provides symptomatic relief in your case pyloric is negative and hence you are having these symptoms your symptoms will remain suppressed while you take pi and whenever you will stop pi there would be an exacerbation of these symptoms you should get yourself thoroughly investigated and other organic causes should be ruled out some lifestyle modifications you can try which I have already answered in this link here was a study performed in china

bite by shaving some off that did not work so I went back and they redid the filling on the last back tooth because that is where I experienced the most pain I went home waited two weeks or so and had same pain when eating hard grainy things so I went back and they fixed the bite went back again after a few weeks because same issue came up they found natural tooth was an issue and said maybe I was getting down to the dentin they refilled those small spots I went home and had to go back in after a few weeks because I felt a few minor sensitive areas they fixed my bite by shaving some off again and of course that did not help so I went in again and this time they found two areas of the natural tooth and the filling was sensitive they think the filling was sensitive was maybe due to the shaving from previous appointment this time the following day it was way worse in terms of eating maybe it was the day after but running my fingernail on the tooth was sensitive my dentist said I may need an only or crown if this keeps happening I went to another dentist for second opinion and took rays as attached she said the filling looks good and it was done well and it is all smooth I wanted her to give me a second opinion and if I should get an only or crown she said part of my filling is close to the nerve I was surprised to hear that because the first time they did the filling it was far from the nerve so I don not know what happened maybe they redid it and drilled more she said even if I do an only or crown that with the temporary might not work and I can still be sensitive in which I would need a root canal I called my friend who is a dentist and she told me I should wait it out it is also possible the pulp horn can shrink and not be so close to the filling as it is pretty close she also does not suggest a crown because it is taking away healthy tooth structure and that if that did not work I would have to pay double as I would need a root canal when air goes on it is

way of doing it but there are disposable sectional double impression trays available which help the dentist to make an impression in a particular region along with the opposing teeth the biggest plus with these trays are firstly preventing contamination because it is used only once and for a single patient secondly upper and lower teeth with the bite are registered in one impression hence time

group of bacteria and reduce the swelling to an extent also continue with your pain killers as well tramadol works well for moderate to severe pain but in your case it does not sound so for immediate

pills have very minimal chance of failure if taken immediately after intercourse within 24 hours and chances of failure gradually increase after that even if taken within 72 hours there is about one

confirming the shedding of layer of the endometrium based on the dates given by you today must be days following the date of the intercourse in that case to find out if you are pregnant you can get a serum beta hug human chorionic gonadotrophin testing done for the urine pregnancy tests to show the result if pregnant it must be at least 10 to 14 days following intercourse if you want to know urgently whether you are pregnant you can get serum beta hug testing if you can wait another week you can get a urine pregnancy testing which if positive must be followed up by ultrasound imaging only after then and after consulting an obstetrician should the abortion be planned under guidance furthermore if you are sexually active regularly it is better to choose other regular contraceptive

diagnosed with a simple tape test at your physician office if this is due to any other worm infection the required dose of mebendazole is different and what is taken by you will not be sufficient I

wrist I feel the crack around the ulnar styloid region and in my left wrist I can feel it around the scaphoid area the thing is that the thicker the handle of the weight is the better it feels on the

squeeze then the motion is not smooth at all I can feel all sorts of cracks and it hurts the cracks are mainly around the scaphoid area in both wrists and it is less on the right do you believe that a

that you create when you flex your wrist is causing bone on bone rubbing and leading to those crack sounds depends on the concentration and loading of weight you feel it at different areas between the

meant to be resistant and with a professional gumshield the risk is not much higher than with normal teeth I would like to get some other opinions on my situation whether I should wait for a certain

determines the success rate and longevity of the implants temporary dentures made of acrylic may not create and actively transfer the chewing and other forces to the implant and hence suggested during this healing period any disturbances or accidental injuries to that area during this period can lead to failure of implants which is the most advanced option for replacement in this worst scenario we will have no other option other than giving a removable denture I understand your dedication and involvement towards your profession but please do consider the safety of your implants in which you

before semen ejaculation it contains a high concentration of sperms it need not enter the vagina even if semen falls on the thighs it can swim up because of chemical attraction this fluid is formed

"Doctor": "hello though the history you have given is insufficient to come to any conclusion about the possible causes I will give information about the common conditions which can have such symptoms the most common cause for scratchy throat with hoarse voice is routine throat infections such as acute pharyngotonsillitis or acute laryngitis which usually resolves with simple antibiotics and mouth gargles the next common cause which can present similarly is reflux laryngopharyngitis which is a type of acidity related disorder in this condition constant reflux of digestive acid into the throat causes injury to taste buds vocal cords and throat which leads to symptoms such as change of voice and change in taste in general people with reflux laryngopharyngitis will have symptoms such as burning sensation in chest repeated burping chest tightness dryness of throat etc regarding your inner ear conditions super semicircular canal dehiscence is a rare inner ear condition in this condition there will be giddiness and imbalance when exposed to loud noise and echoing of once own voice etc this condition usually does not get worsened by the change in environmental pressure so air travel would not be an issue in this condition in any case keep anti vertigo medications such as stemetil handy when you fly patulous eustachian tube is a condition involving the middle ear and nose my guess is because of the similarity in symptoms you have given in both the diagnoses I can say that if there is vertigo then it is superior canal dehiscence if there is no vertigo chances of patulous eustachian tube are high in any case people with patulous eustachian tube will have a certain degree of pressure symptoms in ear when they fly but most of the time it would not be very severe

is bearable and when it gets a little worse I can manage it by taking pain killers I get the pain almost every single day as well not just when I am on my period my periods have always been very heavy and painful from the beginning but have been able to keep it under control by taking the combined contraceptive pill gedarel 30 150 my and mefenamic acid which I have been taking for many years I have

not easy being a mom of two young children as well and having to manage with the pains etc I eventually visited the go and had some tests done such as smear tests infection swabs blood tests and an ultrasound scan everything was normal but the transvaginal ultrasound showed I have endometriosis and adenomyosis I was referred to a specialist gynecologist and although he has given me a course of action to follow for the next six months I felt that the appointment was a bit rushed and I had a lot of questions to ask regarding the two conditions I would really like to ask a few questions regarding the conditions as soon as possible because my next appointment is not for another six months and there are a few things I would like to know about how these two conditions will affect me in the long run I just need some answers for peace of mind nothing specific to me but more about the disease itself the doctor has advised to take the combined contraceptive pill for another six months without a break and to take pain killers as and when required the consultant also mentioned progesterone based methods but we had to rule that out as it causes hair loss and I have been through years of a form of alopecia and have just managed to get my hair back I have tried asking doctors online and have been conned by them because they have taken money from me and just copied and pasted answers from other places online which made me quite upset and furious hopefully someone from here can give me proper and professional answers these are the following questions I would like to ask what causes these two conditions I am aware that these two conditions cannot be 100 diagnosed via imaging methods and laparoscopy is the only method that provides a definitive diagnosis so how can a clinician be sure that they are treating me for the right condition and it is not something worse how will these conditions affect me in the long run if they begin the progress which out of the two endometriosis or adenomyosis is more severe and serious how will they affect my fertility and what would happen if I wanted to have another baby in the future will it be hard to get pregnant will it cause problems to either me or the baby is there an increased risk of miscarriages and preterm labor and if so how likely is this what if I were to come off the pill for whatever reason how can I manage these conditions are there any other methods or a form of lifestyle I can follow to help such as certain dietary intakes etc how can I prevent getting pain when I go to the toilet mainly passing stool and help with sleep any other information will be greatly appreciated also are there any online groups or support websites for these conditions", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to iclniq com I have read your query both problems more or less will have the same effect in the long run it might affect you getting pregnant but if you get pregnant then symptoms of endometriosis subsided may be for

have plans for further pregnancy of oral contraceptive pills can help you in disease suppression some gnrh gonadotropin releasing hormone injection are also available but they have side effects so not recommend for long term of pills can be taken for years if you miss of pills for two to three months or so then endometriosis should not return back immediately so any time if you want to stop it for a few months definitely you can do that talking about the sharp pelvic pain it could be because of fibrosis after cesarean section you can do some moderate exercise on a daily basis which can help you

using this solution never swallow the solution in case of an allergic reaction to this drug avoid or stop the medication and visit your nearby dentist however allergic reactions to this medication are very rare as per my experience you also need to brush your tooth daily with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste and you must brush your tooth twice a day after breakfast and after dinner to maintain your

contain varying proportions of hydroquinone koji acid glycolic acid arbutin azelaic acid mild steroid tretinoin vitamin or etc although it would be ideal that you get a prescription cream from your

ingredients present in our skin and maintain its contour and give it even surface scarring can be more difficult to treat in darker skin type because of heavy melanin pigmentation present naturally in their skin which also take part in inflammatory process occurring during acne once scarring occur it is not possible that it get improved on its own or without any treatment different options available for scars are topical gels and chemical peeling apart from that cop fractional laser is also available to get rid of it chemical peeling is a method by which skin is stimulated to produce more collagen and making the skin scar free and improving its texture the more effective treatment is fractional laser that helps in stimulating fibroblasts increasing collagen production and

recently my concerns and questions the be continues to fluctuate going as high as 170 10 and then dropping very suddenly to very low be rises typically in the evenings while it is very low at night I understand that this is the case naturally while I understand the concept of be fluctuating all day and looking at the average I am worried that when it is very low I am probably aggravating the situation by taking a medicine to low it further app reports taken all these years are enclosed when the be is high mostly I have chest discomfort and pain in the chest for 4 days and then subsides on its own I am concerned that my arteries are inflamed please see reports on high sensitivity reactive protein when I had continuous migraine and chest pain I went in for a coronary angio and a brain mri reports enclosed acute ischemic foi is there a correlation my cardiologist was concerned about my echo tests and the be shooting up very quickly during the stress test can you explain what the test implies and the connection between the inflammation and these tests results my stress levels overall are definitely better I am consulting a psychotherapist for the last years practising yoga

of a stroke if yes what is the probability is there inflammation if so how bad is it how can I control reverse it why does the chest pain persist the pain is usually followed along with high be when I particularly have a heavy session in psychotherapy or overthink some issues what do I do when the be reaches dangerous levels like 170 10 are there any drugs that I should avoid what are the safe

status is normal your heart function is normal and no rwma your blood vessels were clean on it coronary angiography so I do not think there is anything to worry from cardiac perspective regarding chest pain if be is elevated then it can cause some strain over the heart and cause chest pain but it would be limited to time during which be is elevated now considering that you did not have any chest pain during stress test and be was elevated during stress test pain is probably unrelated to be or heart if you are having any ventricular ectopic or extra beats then it can cause some dull ache in chest now other aspect is be you have tendency for be elevation due to your genetic make up which is part of cos etc how much do you weigh also your psychological issues tend to worsen be may rise during exercising and considering your high be tendency it may excessively rise during exercising other factors which can worsen be is stress high salt intake like pickles nsaids like brufen or other pain killers migraine medicines or even any pain can worsen be so avoid pain killers other than paracetamol or tramadol plenty of fruits have low salt diet regular exercises try to keep weight under control if be elevates then you may have an additional dose of telmisartan maximum you may up to 80 my in a day also while taking be readings you should keep your arm relaxed take 3 readings at a time and take be after rest of 10 min if be is rising persistently in the evening then additional dose of telmisartan may be added in the afternoon hours before the expected be rise your average in last abpm was fine and occasional high readings are not worrisome regarding inflammation best way to settle inflammation is healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty oily and high calorie diet having regular exercises like brisk walking or running according to capacity also you should get your lipid profile done and stations like rosuvastatin prescribed to settle this inflammation dinner should be light now regarding your stroke risk it is better to get a neurologist opinion the changes may be related to inadequate be in the past but you should also obtain carotid artery doppler for source of emboli

had to keep her home from school and let her put her feet up when she goes to school or is on her feet for any length of time she ends up in pain she cries and tells me her legs hurt and burn poorly she feels nauseated and complains of stomach pain regularly and tired today she became weak as she could hardly go from one room to the next she seemed as if she was going to drop or pass out as usual I brought her to the er again where she was told it was not an emergency and there is nothing they can do she needs to wait until a rheumatologist can see her which is still a week away is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable or is this normal for her to feel this way with vasculitis", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I have gone through your history it seems a bit weird that no one is starting the treatment yet firstly with vasculitis one needs to see if it is limited only to the skin or the internal organs as well we need to see her blood routine urine routine and a chest ray before concluding it is only limited to the skin secondly if you can then please get her tested for ana antinuclear antibody and anna anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody these are the mandatory test for vasculitis will only respond to steroids I am not sure if you can get your hands on it unless your go suggests but meanwhile give her some anti inflammatory like naprosyn naproxen only after making sure that her renal function tests are normal I hope the information is useful do let me know for more queries" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor I am having a mild tender bump or a lump or a kind of knot deep under the skin on the deltoid muscle it is very hard to tell if it is moving under the skin it has been there for three years I have not noticed any significant growth in the last three years I am quite scared after reading about sarcomas I am 20 years old please help", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi I can understand the anxiety you would be suffering from after suspecting that it is a sarcoma here is what I can suggest to you sarcoma is an uncommon cause of such lumps and much more common are some harmless cysts and lipomas malignant tumors like sarcoma generally do not stay the same size for three years most malignant sarcoma in limbs are not associated with pain however there is only one way to find out for sure and that is doing some tests on this lump you have not mentioned the size of the lump if it is small for about 2 am in diameter then it may be possible to take it out and test for malignant cells thoroughly if it is larger then an mri scan and a needle core biopsy can be done to decide the treatment whether it can directly be taken out or not will be decided by the size and exact location of the lump please send a picture with a scale measure by the side of the lump if you want to follow up much more commonly however it is a cyst that can be easily taken out without any ill effects to know if it is a cyst or not your doctor needs to examine you and maybe do an ray of the limb and an ultrasound examination of the site but only if required for now do not worry just see a good surgeon most likely it is a lipoma or a cyst and not a tumor" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am a 29 year old female I suffered from abscess when I was eight and a half months pregnant after three months it was diagnosed as fistula and gone under fistulotomy operation since the past few months I feel some wetness in the perianal area and today I saw a blood spot on the tissue also I feel itchy and I am not sure if the anus is completely cured after surgery please help me", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi after reviewing the information shared and your pictures a few things come to mind wetness in the perianal area and itching are because of the small amount of seepage of stools around the anus this stool causes irritation to the skin around the anus which causes the itch also the irritation can erode the skin and cause a blood drop to appear I would like to know a bit more regarding your problem did you have any pain along with the blood spot or any pain after stools how frequent is this problem of itching did you ever feel a small amount of stool or gas passed without your control while coughing or laughing hard when did it start happening did it start happening any time soon or was it there all along after surgery has it changed over time was it a normal delivery was anything done to assist the delivery was there any complication at the time of delivery of baby from the picture I can think of two possibilities there is a defect in your anal sphincter the contracting muscle although to be sure a thorough examination is required along with an ultrasound called trust transanal ultrasound a special type done from inside the anus in this case the trouble would be there all along after surgery so you may be right that it did not heal properly there might be a new fistula in ano developing just in front of the anal opening and behind the vaginal opening in this case it would have started troubling for a couple of months if it was painful for you to pass stools or associated with pain after passing stools then it could be an anal fissure my advice as follows do sit bath take lukewarm water in a tub and put a half teaspoon of ordinary salt in it now sit in this water and try to make the water clean and sooth your anal region sit for around 15 minutes three to four times every day try to do it at least twice per day it will decrease itching avoid constipation with a large platter of salad sprouts or sat isabgol spoonful three times per day take to liters of water measured by a bottle every day do exercises for building pelvic muscles and improving the tone or control of anal sphincter it is best to discuss all the above with your local doctor who can examine you in person as a definite diagnosis is unlikely without examination if there is a defect seen on trust and weakness of sphincter some surgical repair may be possible otherwise exercises can help kindly get back with the queries and follow up on icliniq thank you" }, { "Paitent": "hi doctor my husband was just diagnosed with congestive heart

determine the cause he has told them he used some steroids during his bodybuilding days and he drinks occasionally but he drinks every night and has used mild steroids up until this happened they are going to do a test that would determine how it was caused could it be due to a virus or abuse I am just trying to be educated before we go to the next visit my husband is not always honest with the

the valve or percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy pmbv in which the mitral valve is widened by inflating balloon in the valve if not severely narrowed then only medicines of heart failure are sufficient for your husband comply with the doctor advice and medicines have vaccination against influenza done yearly and also pneumonia five yearly if ef is 25 and not improving then have a device

now he is on a nebulizer taking budecort 5 my respule twice a day along with lazing dry syearup as suggested by his pediatrician he weighs 15 keg plus advise if these respules are safe for him we could not take him out if it is cold or rainy and even the ac does not suit him he has been advised not to have milk and milk products like cheese paneer etc as a result he is not putting on weight

concerned about the health of your son from your history description it seems that your son has bronchial asthma usually occurs from exposure to the allergens in our surrounding environment the main treatment of asthma is inhaler medicines like budecort inhaler 200 instead of giving him daily twice nebulizer I will recommend you to start him on budecort inhaler via zerostat vt spacer two puffs twice daily followed by gargling with water and levolin inhaler two puffs as required in an emergency on a long term basis inhaler medicines are not as harmful as they are having fewer side effects than tablets and syearups also as they act at the site of action a very minimal dose of medicine is required try to find out the allergens in his surroundings and avoid them as much as possible there is no need to deprive him of dairy products such as milk cheese or paneer unless he cannot tolerate them he needs to give it as it is the most important source of calcium and required for weight gain nebulization with budecort is only to be given when he is unable to take inhaler by mouth do not forget to rinse the mouth with water after taking inhaler or nebulizer no other therapy is better for optimal control of asthma as there is no cure for it homeotherapy also cannot cure asthma in the long run as there is no scientific evidence for it I hope everything is clear to you now" }, {

it take for the solution to be fully absorbed in his body I am scared that the diclofenac solution will be absorbed in my body and will hurt the baby also if we have sex and he touches that hand in my vagina will the diclofenac solution spread into my body should I be worried please give me some advice as I am scared", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi you are in the last trimester 9 month of pregnancy most of the organs in the fetus might have developed and now it is growing thus care should be taken in food and lifestyle the rate of absorption of diclofenac solution into blood from skin is very less even if you apply the solution on your own body skin for long hours the absorption will be less if it is absorbed it stays in the blood for hours at the end of hours 50 of the drug from the blood gets excreted through urine remaining 25 will get excreted in fourth hour remaining 12 gets excreted in sixth hour it means if the solution reaches blood at am it gets completely excreted at am note the point that the external solution does not get absorbed through skin into blood thus need not to worry be careful with your vagina or oral because the vagina or oral is made by mucus membrane containing rich minute blood vessels vagina is different from skin in vaigna the absorption rate is higher and the diclofenac drug may reaches the blood better to avoid direct applying of diclofenac solution to vagina or nearby vagina or touching hands solution to vagina this carries some less risk to fetus if the solution is less no issues if the solution applied is more then little amount enters into your blood if more drug reaches fetus it inhibits prostaglandins in fetus heart which lead to unwanted problems in the heart you can involve in sexual activity then your husband can apply

solution my two options are a bridge or implants after my rays and mri scan it became apparent that I do not have enough bone for implants and I would need a bone graft since I would need at least my for each side my dentist told me that there was a chance it might not take and I would need another surgery the position of the roots of the adjacent teeth are not a problem there is enough space to place the implants just not enough bone initially he did say he would prefer to do the implants since it is a better solution for long term when my dentist asked the opinion of another dentist in the office he said that the bridge would be a better solution so I would not have to go through multiple surgeries and it would be done sooner the bridge is indeed a quicker solution but I am not very keen on having parts of my teeth removed for the bridge it will also need replacing at some point and if the underlying teeth have a problem the whole bridge needs to be replaced both my sister and mother have a bridge they are also missing their upper lateral incisors and I am not impressed with either results these were placed by different dentists I am fine with the process taking a little longer and being more expensive if it means it will give me a more natural smile but I am also afraid that I will be going through surgery for something that might not even take my dentist now does

time it is too intense especially if I try to sleep I will sleep in minutes and the moment I move my toe while asleep I wake up with an extreme pain like someone stabbing my foot with a knife and cut it through from the big toe joint through the upper foot I even cried as I felt helpless with extreme pain that will not let me rest and it has been a week now and the pain is not going down with medication the moment I finished my voltaren 50 my in four days I thought it is much better now but it came back like a demon the problem is that I am confused and cannot run into all options of diagnoses due to financial situation I went today to a hospital the orthopedic was full could not get an appointment urgently so it was a general doctor he did not know for sure what is going on he suspected gout so he made blood test and uric acid was 326 umol which is the best I have ever had as he still not sure he advised to do an ray and the result he said as normal so he gave me strong painkillers and allopurinol which I did not use as my uric acid is fine and told me to see how it goes for two weeks in my ray see I noticed there is a slight difference in distance between the bones of the toes and the foot the big toe is a bit closer to the bone comparing with the other toes I do not know if this has anything to do but I want you to double check I have attached the photo taken to give you more information the pain is so intense if I am out of medication the big toe flexes up or down but up is more difficult than down and also upon stepping on it so I have to walk stepping half side of my foot avoiding landing on the big toe base of course I apply ice water almost every three hours to feel ease and also pain upon touch from the outer side of the joint to the left also you can see clear swelling and color change of the skin in the photo I am totally confused because I happen to make many mistakes that might cause different problems to my joint I am not sure which one triggered it or the cause of it I lost a lot of weight in a short period of time I was recently last month on a ketogenic diet low carbohydrate high fat in which there is a debate that it might be problem for gout sufferers I have also increased my volume and intensity of the workout due to the extra energy felt when I was veto adapted I usually stop exercising when I feel I spent a lot of hours not because I was tired so perhaps that caused a lot of stress on my body my daily workout was something like 90 minutes weight lifting in the gym and 45 minutes running and maybe 30 minutes walking to the gym if we count this as well I remember running in barefoot too I changed my shoes just a week before the pain and I chose a good quality running shoe I chose a fit one not painful or even uncomfortable but I thought because it is filled with cushioning and felt light and good I have not even known that there could be a problem until last night I read some articles against tight fit shoes especially for those with gout so I am really confused about the problem am I suffering from gout or sesamoiditis or tendinitis or turf toe I need you to guide me what should I do will I

the formation of reactive oxygen species men get more forehead wrinkles because in females estrogen has a somewhat protective role men are more exposed to sunlight and women have more fat layer beneath the skin that gives good contouring to the skin prevention of forehead wrinkles is partially possible because they are part of the normal age process protection from sunlight is very important

stasis causes the development of bacterial colonies which result in halitosis bad breath and associated throat ache the tonsils act as a source of infection to the ears as the bacteria rises up along the eustachian tube that connects back of the nose to the ears on each side sometimes a remnant of adenoids could also be causing the ear issue if this problem has been there for more than three to

people never thought of accepting this in public since birth an individual is conditioned to behave in a particular manner like boys are supposed to be more active in competitive sports they are encouraged to be masculine while girls are supposed to be delicate sophisticated in most countries and most cultures if a boy behaves like girls he faces many issues like other peers make fun of him this conditioning is the basis of sexual orientation too boys are supposed to have girlfriends and girls have boyfriends homosexuality was considered as sin and even a lot of countries still consider

who can give advice or insight on this", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello contact lenses should never be used while swimming contact lenses should never come in contact with water and patients are educated to never use water to clean or store lenses some people feel that wearing lenses underwater can help them see better this thought could perhaps have come in the mind of a professional swimmer or coach but unfortunately wearing contact lenses will not improve vision underwater the reason for this being that the eye is designed to work on the basis of a difference in the refractive index to put it in a simple way the difference in the refractive index between the eye and air is large hence vision is clear whereas the difference in refractive index is very small between our eye and water thus leading to blurred vision the only way to see clearly underwater is by using watertight swimming goggles which have a layer of air in front of the eye thus bringing back the difference in the refractive index swimmers with the refractive error may use contact lenses with their swimming goggles coming to the harmful effects of contact lens usage in water the most important being bacterial infections of the cornea called keratitis the commonest organism being pseudomonas is a very prolific bacteria this organism is the bane of every ophthalmologist thanks to a special trait it exhibits of boring through an intact and healthy cornea setting up deep seated hard to cure diseases the most characteristic organism seen would be acanthamoeba this organism is ubiquitous and infects untreated swimming pools and many natural water sources like rivers tanks lakes etc in which people swim in during hiking and outdoor activities all causes of such a corneal ulcer will need emergency hospital admission and treatment with intensive monitoring for signs of recovery if at all you are interested in wearing lenses while swimming the best option would be to use daily disposable lenses which can be disposed after swimming rigid lenses mostly will slip off the eye while swimming soft lenses usually are retained in the eye but will absorb most of the bacteria chemicals like chlorine etc used for treating the water this can set up a lot of inflammation and cause redness irritation and blurred vision to conclude I would say that wearing lenses underwater will not help you see well this blurring underwater can be overcome by wearing swimming goggles but not by contact lenses contact lens use while swimming will only cause serious eye problems and is to be best avoided" }, {

the injection and also with pregnancy how do I tell if these are pregnancy symptoms or if it is because of the depo shot I did miss my last shot three months ago last month I took a home pregnancy test it came back negative will a home test be enough to tell if I am pregnant or not", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi the home pregnancy test is fairly sensitive and very unlikely to miss pregnancy except in very early pregnancy if you suspect pregnancy strongly you can repeat a home pregnancy test again after a week if period does not start most of your symptoms can be either due to indigestion or hormonal imbalance hypothyearoidism or estrogen deficiency you can take antacids pantoprazole for three to four days and see if symptoms resolve if your symptoms do not resolve and pregnancy test comes negative you can do ash thyearoid stimulating hormone test to rule out hypothyearoidism as you have taken depot for a long time estrogen deficiency is likely which can cause all of your symptoms

number came as we did his eye checkup at the time of birth as well as at the age of please assist as we are very tensed for his glasses and number", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello I have gone through your attached photo there are both spherical and cylindrical powers in both of his eyes this power is large for a year old boy and I understand your concern regarding the cause the given age I will say that this power probably has to do with the pattern of his eye growth it is a bit longer than normal usually the most intelligent people who are bit more mature than the rest have to develop such a thing another important cause is seeing things by holding them very close for example phone books etc near work increases myopia but nobody can exactly predict what the cause could be regarding progression even if he wears the glasses regularly there could be variations in his power as I said this power is due to the lengthening of the eyeball and the eyeballs keep growing as he grows this is the reason why your doctor would have called you back for a follow up every six months or every year wearing glasses constantly helps in preventing complications like cross eyes squint and amblyopia lazy eye amblyopia is a condition where due to weakness of the visual nerve and brain vision centers the patient can no longer see the smallest letters even with the maximum power this can hamper his chances of getting into a few jobs like armed forces etc so the best course of action would be stop seeing things from close by avoid mobile phones computers and read books from as far away as possible do not rub the eyes this can increase the cylinder power wear glasses constantly to prevent complications like squint and amblyopia do not miss follow ups and consult your ophthalmologist

conceive a baby in a normal way can there be any bad effect on baby health physical and mental due to the dna abnormality found in her report", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to icliniq com as far as the subserous nature of the fibroid is concerned which is around 7cm am it per se is not going to have an effect or cause hindrance in conception but it is likely that it can cause problems during the pregnancy and in the late third trimester due to abdominal pain so it is advisable that it should be removed anyways as the size is a concern here and can cause incoordinate uterine contractions during labor later and also chances are that it would further grow under estrogen effect hence better get it removed as the fetus showed triploidy banded metaphase which as per the mother report she has high chances of replication of similar results in future pregnancies as well which may not be compatible with life and likely missed abortions may occur in future hence it is suggested that both of you should try for an if in vitro fertilization with ovum and sperm harvesting and in vitro fertilization of the egg by your sperm and subjecting the embryos to preimplantation genetic screening with fish fluorescence in situ hybridization technique or per polymerase chain reaction or comparative genomic hybridization cgh before selecting the embryo for transplanting into the uterus though the frequency of banded metaphase telomeric association is high for 3 16 and chromosome the chances of the fetus getting triploidy are very high another best option for you as a couple would be to opt for a donor egg from another woman which can be fertilized in vitro by your sperm and then the embryo after pre implantation genetic screening can be implanted in your wife womb to improve the chances of having a healthy conception I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am suffering from a disease called uveitis and I visit a doctor every six to seven months for injecting

look weird on reading online I read this as slightly farsighted with slight nearsighted astigmatism in both eyes how is that possible", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to icliniq com in the prescription you have mentioned there are two components the spherical 75 and the cylindrical 5 at axes 70 10 respectively the important thing to note here is that reading glasses per se are given to people above 40 years of age in your case I feel that this power is probably your distance correction the doctor might have felt that they may be a bit cumbersome to wear all the time and would have given a small magnitude of power and probably have told you only to put them on during intense visual activities like watching computers reading books etc an accurate way to say whether these were meant for distance or for reading is to recall how you were tested at the doctor office in the first place suppose they made you sit at a distance and asked you to read out the letters on a screen then these are distance vision glasses if they had tested the power by giving you a book in your hand and asked you to read it then these would be reading glasses so coming back to your question firstly reading glasses are meant only for distances around am from you for the books and around 100 am for the computers and you would not be able to see beyond this second the far sighted power of 75 is determined by the length of your eyeball in case of far sightedness the eyeballs are shorter compared to normal and in near sightedness they are longer the astigmatic power is determined by the curvature of your cornea in your case myopic astigmatism the corneas are steeper at axes of 70 and 10 degrees respectively compared to the rest of the cornea in hypermetropic astigmatism they are flatter in that particular meridian compared to the rest of the cornea I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I take sompraz d20 on an empty stomach every day I also take libotryp at night

failure any cardiac valve problem you have to take cardiac fitness before surgery if fit then go for surgery after the surgery you can take rest as advised by your surgeon if the cardiac issue is stable there is no need to reassess the cardiac problem if cardiac problems such as heart failure worsens then you may need echocardiography and other related investigations regarding medicines ask your surgeon not to prescribe you medicines that have a high amount of sodium which may worsen your cardiac or hypertensive problems you may take a low sodium diet and may start light exercise according to your surgeon regarding cardiac surgery for pain relief you may take a pain killer for wound related pain gradually increase level of activity unto six to eight weeks you may drive then also eat a low sodium diet do not eat up to full stomach eat small amounts multiple times per day readmission depends upon complications that may develop such as wound infection heart failure heart attack due to blockage of the grafted vessels after bypass surgery if a heart valve is implanted it may get stuck and it causes sudden worsening of symptoms some times bleeding may occur due to

direction medically you should follow going forward the fact that you note you have always been a clumsy person and it worsening now indicates that your problem has been a chronic long term one that seems to be progressively with time you mention you were a slow learner and that you are still having cognitive thinking learning memory up unto this day shows me you that there is definitely something wrong and needs to be medically investigated some unknown uninvestigated cognitive problem since early childhood has been missed and caused serious harm to your life and it is not your fault you were a child and it is the clear responsibility of the adults in your life to note the problems and take them further there is an entire range of things that could be causing your symptoms from undetected poor hearing vision or a specific learning disability or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but also including a huge range of psychiatric neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms then the fact that your neurological motor or sensory functioning poor eye muscle coordination has been affected and your feeling clumsy has also been since childhood that difficulty been chronically clumsy from childhood to adulthood and was never investigated further should be not an acceptable way of schooling or raising children so the bottom line is that now you need to take control and investigate these symptoms kindest rest further to at least know the cause of serious problems the doctor I would send you to first is a neurologist or a neuropsychiatrist they can examine you for the right medical investigations like blood tests of rays and it scans etc they should be able to put a possible diagnosis together and all of these symptoms can be explained and understood consult a

concerned about orchidectomy impacts on my fertility and hormonal levels can you please allay my fears also my surgeon report says the left scrotum was exposed left tests exposed very mild hydrocele version of sac done using 0 monofilament suture left lateral wall of tests fixed with 0 monofilament suture at two points skin closed is this fine why was the sac everted and what about the hydrocele I have heard the 0 monofilament used was absorbable if so then how can those two sutures on the left tests prevent it from further torsion will there be some tissue formation eventually that will hold the tests in place or is it because by then the tests will get naturally attached to gubernaculum as I presume the sutures were made into tunic albuginea however I read somewhere that this might have impact on sperm production is it true lastly can I by any means ascertain whether my left buddy is fine at home by physical examination does the presence cremasteric reflex always rule out a possibility of necrosed tests", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello welcome to icliniq com first of all relax and do not worry at all we had done orchidectomy due to torsion in many patients they are absolutely fine and doing well physically as well as mentally having one tests remaining is perfectly fine you will have no problem regarding sperm production or testosterone levels your left tests can produce enough sperms for fertilization only one sperm is required for fertilization the surgeon has done a perfectly good job in the right tests version of the sac was done for hydrocele so that in future you do not develop hydrocele also fixation with 0 monocryl is perfect it just requires fixation at two points so that is cannot twist in the future if suture are absorbable also no problem

pretty low gastroenterologist says need to do small cap endoscopy to see if there is bleeding in the small intestine my new stool sample results are not back yet but stools have not been dark what

hemoglobin prior to the colonoscopy if it was near normal and then dropped to 6 that would be a huge drop if you had gastrointestinal bleeding leading to such a huge drop in hemoglobin in a short span of time I would expect that you would have noticed the blood in your stool minor bleeding over longer periods can lead to anemia and in those cases serum ferritin a storage form of iron would be low acute blood loss anemia usually does not cause serum ferritin to drop did you have a serum ferritin level done along with your other iron studies if the serum ferritin is less than 15 it is almost definitely iron deficiency iron deficiency is either due to dietary reasons or blood loss dietary iron deficiency is rare in developed countries so blood loss has to be ruled out if no obvious reason is identified on upper gi endoscopy or colonoscopy then small bowel pathology has to be ruled out by capsule endoscopy other reasons for a rapid drop in hemoglobin would be hemolysis where the red

thyearoid cancer for definitive distinction of benign is malignant fac fine needle aspiration cytology is important if we have any doubt on fac we go ahead and do thyearoidectomy and send thyearoid

doctor I have been experiencing some very unusual problems at the moment and I am getting a bit concerned about them I have not gone to my doctor about it yet it is hard to explain but I will try it is as if the connections between my hands and my brain become muddled and I have trouble telling which part of my fingers or hands is being stimulated it all kind of blurs into one numb sensation my hands feel heavy and become harder to move as if I am trying to move them through a viscous fluid this weird experience has been happening mainly when I am at work and when I am stressed but I am noticing it now slightly as well while typing this it is a really bizarre feeling and it can extend through my arms and my legs when it gets really bad I also have a constant tinnitus but I only notice it at night when trying to sleep or if I am in silence I also feel that my heartbeat has started to become irregular and I always feel tired and dizzy at the moment I went to my doctor about the dizziness about months ago and got a blood test done and that was fine but he said my blood pressure was slightly high for my age two years ago I very stupidly took a legal high bk 2cb and I had a full blown visual and auditory trip that lasted about 18 hours once it wore off I was fine but then about weeks later I started to have visual problems I had really bad after images and reality just looked very strange to me especially when looking at other people these visual symptoms seemed to have faded now but I still have brain fog and after images I am just messaging because I am concerned about the problems I am having with my sense of my hands in particular and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the stupid mistake I made years ago when taking that drug", "input": "", "Doctor": "hello the sensation in your hand can be because of compression of the nerve at elbow while typing but it is unlikely to spread to your legs stress anxiety can cause such symptoms tinnitus at night when it is very quiet outside is common and normal phenomenon but when it is present when you are in a noisy environment that is abnormal dizziness and tiredness may be a part of your stress slightly high blood pressure will require regular blood pressure checks and there is nothing to worry about on that front drug effect does not last for years if you have taken it for a very long time the it can cause psychiatric problems but I do not think your problems are related to that I would suggest you take a psychiatric consultation because I do not feel it is a neurological problem and there is nothing to worry about" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor what will my doctor exactly do while examination when I tell him I am having erection problems", "input": "", "Doctor": "hi it depends on what all positive findings you give while giving history for example the doctor will ask you for diabetes high blood pressure any regular medicine intake psychiatric medicines low hemoglobin symptoms etc these diseases usually cause ed erection dysfunction as a secondary cause then depending on what comes out of the conversation the check up will consist of general body workup for the ed part the doctor will surely look for a local problem the size and consistency of tests the shape and size of the penis he will then try to check for erection as a reflex on touching and will also check for skin retraction the next step can be a stamp test or a penile doppler where the blood supply of the organ will be checked there can also be a nerve conduction test done if the doctor thinks that the nerve supply is deficient I hope this helps" }, { "Paitent": "hello doctor I am a 19 year old male I am active and never had any serious condition of unhealthiness as a part of the ongoing project I

allergies resolve on their own sun allergies mild topical steroid cream like desonide cream application at night only over the patch for not more that 14 days spy 50 sunscreen every three to four

bone pains at multiple locations if she is indeed only 70 labs then it is likely that she is cachexic this along with the frequent fevers gives us a major red flag for two serious conditions that she might have tuberculosis to or tumor anywhere in the body let us discuss these two possibilities tuberculosis is endemic and is more common than we think most individuals already have the bacteria in them and the disease occurs when their immunity reduces long standing low grade fevers loss of appetite and weight history of contact with someone who had active to and low socioeconomic living conditions are quite likely to cause to while to most commonly involves the lungs causing a chronic cough to can affect almost any system in the body one may have musculoskeletal to involving the spine joints and any of the bones if your friend bone pains are related to she should have pain at only a few locations in her body unless she is immunocompromised tumors or cancer anywhere in the body can cause loss of appetite and weight low grade fevers may occur in some tumors while the spread of tumor tissue to bones will lead to bone pains and pathological fractures tumors arising from the bones are a definite possibility finally besides to and tumors there are other rarer causes cachexia and bone pains these include nutritional deficiency disorders like osteomalacia hiv infection certain medications that reduce immunity etc it might be a good idea for her to take pictures of all the tests that she has undergone and also any rays or imaging that she may have got done till now you may upload these on this platform and we could discuss her issues further I understand she may be losing hope from any medical intervention and such disease related depression is quite common if she has consulted only ayurvedic doctors till now it may be prudent to take opinions from allopathic doctors it is quite possible that her diagnosis may have been missed lastly I would sincerely

confusion you experience and your mental pain so far fewer studies have been done if we combine allopathy drugs with ayurveda or siddha drugs in your case I feel you should continue the allopathy drugs for 15 days or above as per physicians instruction I feel you can also have propranolol to reduce the palpitation you can continue the allopathy drugs for particular days in order to avoid the addiction the gradual stepwise dose reduction of tablets should be followed for example from day 16th onwards half tablet to be continued for next one week then every alternate days half tablet for next one week then every ith day half a tablet for next week then stop it this can be done with the advice of the physician few research in animals has proved that manasamitra tablet could increase serotonin levels but not 100 guarantee given many clinical sharing concludes that these three ayurvedic drugs are useful if the patient starts the therapy in the early stage of the disease and also good for long term treatment hence in your case adding these drugs will surely have some beneficial role you do not stop these ayurvedic drugs continue it for the next six months you join for a regular yoga class or training class daily continuously for the next six months in my experience after six months you can stop all medications including ayurveda and can run the best life only with yoga practice yoga practice at home is free of cost many people got miracle relief from anxiety depression and can focus on the studies or business or particular work with good sleep and good diet you

was detected polyhydramnios in pregnancy my daughter born at 36 weeks days through emergency section due to pre eclampsia her weight was 3070g no tube passed three times due to polyhydramnios we went home on day two readmitted on day five for phototherapy till months of age several visits with health visitor and go for colic like symptoms and constipation she will scream in pain which opening her bowel and only opening her bowels every four to five days over this time they tried colief infacol lactulose glycerin suppositories ranitidine gaviscon and domperidone nine different formulas and we also tried all common natural remedies for reflux like keeping upright after feeding etc no alleviation of symptoms at all with exception of glycerin suppositories which did seem to help the constipation in months pediatric consultant suggests functional constipation and recommends higher dose of lactulose and movicol for 16 weeks he suggested that we are giving her too many glycerin suppositories and that is making her dependent on glycerin to open her bowels and so glycerin was stopped we delayed weaning whilst waiting for appointment at this point her symptoms completely changed to intermittent diarrhea and constipation bowel frequency increased to once a day colic like pain and she does not start vomiting until the consistency of the food moves up to a more solid consistency the laxatives made absolutely no difference in her 10 months of age the constipation has turned to diarrhea the doctor is happy that it was functional constipation and discharged her at months she had first acute episode of chronic diarrhea and forceful vomiting lasted for 16 days which coincides with the introduction of cow milk during 14 months of age she was introduced to solid food chronic forceful vomiting which does not seem to follow any pattern a food diary is followed for several weeks and there does not seem to be any consistent non ice allergy as a cause during her 14 months of age we had an appointment with dietician and switched from normal formula to pepsi and then neocate her chronic wheeze disappears overnight but chronic vomiting continues she troubleshoot overfeeding as a cause we are feeding her more as she is vomiting when we did not substitute the feeds she lost weight so if she vomited a feed we gave her another one hour later we fed her small quantities throughout the day to try and prevent vomiting again in 15 months consulted her dietician and he suggested definite non ice cow milk protein allergy and to try trial and error with other three common allergies soy wheat and dairy so then for a month we followed strict elimination of those three this month she had only neocate liquid diet plus corn snacks organix and one paella meal symptoms improved but sporadic forceful vomiting remains she tolerated only one baby paella meal well which is overcooked rice very mushy consistency now again we attempted to challenge the three foods back in and move beyond this one meal all attempts were failed her reaction to us seems to be much more about the consistency of the food rather than what the food is she can tolerate a large amount of breadcrumbs but cannot tolerate a piece of toast we continue with food diary and there really is no clear pattern which isolates one food again in her 17 months age when we consulted her dietician he was unsure whether the symptoms fit flies at all and suggests gastro referral then she had second acute episode we went a and on day five and was sent home with suggestion of gastroenteritis chronic vomiting and diarrhea lasted 15 days she lost 10 of her body weight sent home on neocate as the only diet but there is no evidence of gagging choking or problem swallowing no fussing or wriggling during feeding four months back her weight was 12 keg and now 10 keg her barium ray showed mild malrotation but at met it was decided this was not explanation of symptoms we have recently tried omeprazole to rule out severe reflux and it made no change genetic blood tests kidney and abdominal ultrasound were normal for us her symptoms now are identical to what they were like before the onset of weaning again she is suffering from intermittent colic pain and constipation but there is no vomiting she is not sleeping well at all we have increased her water intake and added lactulose and the stools are no longer hard but she still seems uncomfortable stools are very dark green we have tried a couple of solids she prefers crunchy food she tolerates corn based crisps as they basically dissolve into crumbs into your mouth we tried peas grapes and she passed all of the peas grapes and beans completely undigested in her feces without solids she does not sleep well at all because the neocate just does not fill her up for long enough and so she is screaming all night because she is hungry so we tried a few solids and she is still screaming half the night with colic like pain she is clearly in pain because she is absolutely screaming she is pretty inconsolable but the only thing that does relieve it is sucking on something like a bottle of water she is waking up about every 20 to 30 minutes throughout the night during the day she still has this colic like symptoms and she is tired and clingy and uninterested in playing she does tend to have one to two hours a
