There is no harm doing masturbation to satisfy your sex excitement. To reduce masturbation,1, remain busy with your study and daily work.2, avoid thoughts of sex,3,pass some time with sports and your friends.4, see some good entertainment TV cereals daily.5, go for regular physical exercises daily like running, jogging, swimming etc. Ok and take care. |
Every morning I wake up I continuously sneeze for five minutes. I have seasonal allergies but I take allergy medicine for it. My allergies take place during the spring/summer. Therefore I dont see a reason why my constant sneezing is taking place. What do you think? | Individuals having seasonal allergy may be sensitive to dust or other allergens in the environment. At present, you seem to be having sneezing episodes in the morning. This is due to the presence of dust or Dan Chat Doctor. When you go to the bed in the night the senses of your body will be low. The dust and other allergens will get accumulated inside the nose. When you wake up in the morning, the senses are back and this will indicate the brain about the presence of allergens and then the nose starts clearing it, inducing sneezing and running nose. Hence, avoid sleeping in front of the AC or under the fan and change your pillow cover every night before going to the bed. Continue with the medicines for allergy. Regards |
My 6 months 20 days and 8kg weight baby is having fever in more than 4 days. Doctor prescribed to use crocin 120ml in 4 times a day and we did urine test and all negative, now he suggested to add Mefenamic acid (60ml ) 2.5 ml along with crocin 5ml. Can you advise further assistance? | Hi... Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.METAL CONTAINS METONYMIC ACID WHICH IS A NSAID. IT CARRIES THE RISK OF GASTRITIS AND RENAL PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN. PLEASE DO NOT USE METAL. Regards - |
I believe I have either a shoulder sprain or strain in my left shoulder, the same one I had a sprain in a year an a half ago. However unlike last time when a sudden jerk caused the sprain, this time I was asleep and suddenly woke up with pain running down the length of my arm, and the inability to move it except from the elbow down. Also when I stand upright with my arms down, my left arm props out and I cannot put it against my side. What specifically is causing this, as well as, is this problem related to what happened a year an a half ago? | Hello, I have studied your case.

It also hurts when I bend forward and backwards. I also get a lot of muscle movements in my back. They started in the center of my back on either side of my spine, now I feel them in my stomach and on the sides of my body. My muscles on both sides of my spine are tight and get really sore especially when sitting. Sometimes my back muscles feel tingly. I have had an X-ray but doctors said they couldnt see anything so they advised me to have physio. I have been having physio for 9 weeks now and my spine and its surrounding muscles still hurt.

I had knee replacement surgery back in Feb of this year, a few weeks later I developed an infection that required a second surgery, a PICC line and six weeks antibiotics that ended in May. I have since had significant daily pain in my knee, frequent headaches, shaky hands and a resting heart rate of 104-109 | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned you have undergone a TKR, post which due to infection another surgery was planned and the resting HR is high. So to understand this, the cardio respiratory endurance becomes weak as the immobility is prolonged. Also, undergoing physical therapy for the TKR is advised post TKR to ensure the mobility of the knee joint. While performing exercises, there will be an improved metabolism and immune system. Also, the improved metabolism, the digestive system will function to optimum post which your headache issue will be solved. Besides, to understand that there is always a need for improved metabolism post any surgery as due to medications and immobility there is a lag in the digestive mechanism which needs correction. Also, in my personal clinical practice, I have Been dealing with the TKR cases and by implementing the regular early exercises helps them to early recovery and avoid additional health issues.

A friend of mine is diagnosed noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Can you advise me please, he smokes joints and i am worried in relation to his condition. He has an ICD implanted and the pumping of his heart is weak. I cant get through to him and sick of worrying. | Hi, I understand your concern and I'll try to help you. Non-compacted myocardium is a very serious disease that can have serious consequences for patients affected by this disease. There are varying degrees of cardiac involvement is necessary and staging the lesions to set the proper treatment. One of the major complications of this disease is the risk of sudden death from severe cardiac arrhythmias, whose treatment is the implantation of a pacemaker which detects and especially can control these malignant arrhythmias known as implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). Another common complication is the formation of clots within the heart that can break off and clog elsewhere on the body, leading to strokes, heart attacks, mesenteric ischemia, amputation of arms or legs. The treatment for this is the use of anticoagulant medications to prevent the formation of these thrombi. There is also the possibility of loss of contractile function of the heart and subsequent heart failure. When this failure is advanced the most appropriate treatment is heart transplantation. Therefore, there is no simple treatment, a specialized cardiac monitoring is needed, and multidisciplinary care with psychologists, occupational therapists and medical staff are well-trained to support the patient and his family. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health. |

My 84 year old mother has uterine cancer and was put on injections for 3 blood clots a couple months ago. She developed inflammation and hard knots in her stomach from the injections and was switched to warfarin a couple weeks ago. Her INR is 2.8 now. A few days ago, she noticed a marble sized round lump in her lower leg. It is cool to the touch, is not red (today it has a faint yellow ring discoloration) is not painful at all. She called her doctor this morning but has had no response (It s 5 | Hi, you are on injection for uterine cancer. But I am not sure what injection it could be. Because uterine cancer rarely need any injection. If her hemoglobin count is low then she may have given erythropoietin. She may have given enoxaparin to treat deep vein thrombosis. But now her INR is within normal limit, so it is unlikely to have a clot. Clinical examination of the lump is necessary. Consult your oncologist. |

I am a competitive outrigger canoe paddler. I am 60 years old. I had a SLAP tear repair and subacromial release last march. I did PT for 16 weeks to strengthen the shoulder and build up muscles in my back. I am paddling again (I do long distance, open ocean racing in 6 person canoes). I now have horrible neck pain...left side, and horrible pain around my left scapula. I m told that my levator scapula and my scalenes are in a constant state of spasm. What you you recommend I do??? | Hello, Giving rest to the muscles is the best thing you can do for now. You have given stress to this muscle for years and now due to over usage of the muscle and your aging process, it may not take as much stress as it used to take before. You need to continue with the exercises of the muscles for strengthening them for probably all your life. If the 16 weeks program helped you, continue with that only. For relief from pain, you can take combination of Diclofenac, Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone (Dan-MR or Hifenac-MR) twice a day for 5 days. You can also topically apply Diclofenac gel or spray to find relief. Some professional massage sessions can help too to relax muscles. Heat application through hot water bag or electronic belt will improve blood circulation in the area and relieve spasm. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Best, |

i have had this hump on the back of my neck for sometime now, and i see the elderly with a similar hump on their necks. But it creates severe pain for me at times and so i went to my family doctor andhe said it was a dowagers hump and had me get an MRI then he said it was just fat. But if its just fat then why am i in such terrible pain and why does it get bigger over the years? and could my doctor wrong? | Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. History suggests that the lump / lesion in the back of the neck - possibilities could be a lipoma (fat content) or a spinal involving lesion.2. I would recommend you to get an ultrasound examination of the lesion - that will help in identification of the lesion sours and its nature (solid, cystic, tubular, mixed) and where all the lesion extending.3.MRI is definitive investigation of choice - its very good in anatomical delineation and spinal related pathologies.4.Anyone can be got wrong before getting its imaging findings. 5. An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology might be needed for histology findings - nature of cells.6. After all these - if safe to excise - excision is treatment of choice. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. |
i dont know if im pregnant or not but ibeen having these back pains on m lower back then i missed my period like a week ago. i took 2 test and they botChatDoctore out negative. & the cramps they havent stopped my left tittie feels very tender and sometimes its really painful. am i pregnant ? i havent vomit yet . | Dear friend if two test regarding pregnancy gives negative result then as a rational clinician I would say first you have to check whether you have urinary tract infection. Because urinary tract infection almost always cause low abdomen pain.to confirm you have to undergo a routine urine microscopic check-up. Tenderness in your breast has no relation with your urinary tract infection. Perhaps Brest engorgement due to hormonal disbalance is behind this condition. So don't worry too much on these.a general clinical check-up is what you need to get a fair idea about the cause of such breast tenderness and low abdominal pain. |

Last year I developped tinnitus in both ears and it has remained perisistent - driving me nuts. At the same time I started having finger joints and finger swelling with a burning feeling and very mild pain, almost neglectable. After some momths i have started feeling the same discomfort in the ankles, knees, elbows, shoulders - without swelling or redness. The pain/stifness is not intense - and it gets better after swimming - I instated a daily hour of swimming, Some days I feel swollen in all my body and then the fingers get really swollen. I have tried Ibropfrofen occassionaly without evident results, This water retaining made me take occasionally Lasix which helps with the swelling but the fingers remain reddish and burning and swollen (less when I take Lasix). Pain or stiffness is more evident in the morning, but the swelling around the finger knuckles if permanent. I have also tried Cucurmin for the inflammation but it has not worked (after 2 months). Age 58, height 6 weight 186 lbs - primary hypercoagulability/Factor V Leiden - am on aspirin 325 mg daily. No other medical condition. | Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The pain and joint stiffness is commonly related to rheumatoid arthritis.

Have you started any new medications recently? If there is pain I would be concerned about something involving the Chest Tube insertion/pneumothorax. If not there are other possibilities! #1 could be caffeine, alcohol and or any toxin/medication use that your body does not respond well to. Another could be blood sugar. If your body is not obtaining the nutrients it sometimes wants it will respond with the shaking and fast heartbeat you describe! I suggest you try to eat smaller meals, but more often, HY |
My 7 month old infant has been in and out of the drs and labs trying to figure it all out. Many of his numbers are off and no one will help us with it. Monocytes always high. Lymphocytes always low or high. Neutrophils are either high or low but more often low than high. Plateley count high. Large platelets have always tested abnormal. Ast high. Alt high. And several others off. Help | Hi, low lymphocyte count in an infant is suggestive of sepsis and infection. Platelet count high has no significance in it. Rather it's a good sign towards child health. High AST and ALT is again suggestive of liver dysfunction which can be due to sepsis itself. The infant will require an antibiotic course and some supplements. Keep good care of his nutrition and feed the baby more often. Keep him warm and consult a pediatrician. Thanks and regards. |
Hi, I am a 27 year old female, with a slightly under active thyroid. I started on 25mcg eltroxin daily, but because of drastic weight gain my GP suggested 50mcg each morning. Mt TSH count at the moment has dropped to 0.88 while both my T3 and T4 are within normal range. I would like to know how this could effect fertility and whether it would be possible to get pregnant. I am still gaining about 2kgs per month (which is very hard to accept). I also take iodine supplements. Any advise with regards to pregnancy and the weight gain would be appreciated.Thank you. | Hi, I think you can conceive. Your thyroid profile is normal. So, you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. For weight loss, you can do some exercises and yoga and maintain a healthy diet. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor. |

Sometimes when I hear a certain noise, (its mostly the beep sound my toaster makes) I start feeling scared, paranoid or just like something bads gonna happen, sometimes the noise brings back the memory of when I had my first seizure and I feel like I do after a seizure. I have ADD, ADHD and epilepsy in case that has anything to do with it | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I think this is a new development for you. With anxiety disorders, such fear is common. Anxiety disorder patients slowly develop irritation towards noises and in due course the irritation makes them obsessive towards noises. Some specific noise irritation takes up center stage of the obsession, and they feel such noises. There is nothing to worry. This will be there for some months and slowly disappear. You will need Cognitive Therapy. Consult a psychologist. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http |

These help in increasing fertility. But you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks.

hi, I am 80 years old, have been in good health, low blood pressure. my left knee started swelling 3 days ago, bright red blotchy and hot to the touch. the next day there were bruises near it. I had been working at a habitat store, restore and on my feet on cement for about 3 hr. I walk often, do machines and have had no problems. however, in 1974, I fell hard on the cement and had a swollen knee called a football knee and had to elevate and it was a bruised ligament. could I have injured that same spot. thanks in advance. loris degroff, e mail | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had a history of past fall, and ligament injury, this could be the same as per my understanding. Having a thorough clinical musculoskeletal examination followed by an MRI of the knee will help understand the soft tissues better. Also, your age is 80, so some degenerative changes in the joint can be expected on general physiology. Having a physical therapy for a few sessions should help reduce the pain and improve the mobility as well. With therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain will be reduced and inflammation as well. Performing some simple knee strengthening exercises will help stabilize the joint and safeguard it from future injuries. In my clinical practice most geriatric cases respond well to physical therapy.

Hi .. I m 51 and all of my life have been pretty skinny. I m male 5 6 and weigh around 8.5 stone which has generally been consistent for a number of years. A few years ago I actually put on a stone and looked a lot better, felt a lot stronger and clothes actually started to fit me. However on visiting the doctor for a check up my blood pressure was very high (200/120) .. this inevitably led to more exercise better diet and eventually medication and no my BP is ok but my weight is back down. My cholesterol is 5.7 which isn t terrible but could do with being lower so my old dietary habit of half a pack of biscuits a day isn t an option. I know people will say better thin than fat and I agree but I really would like to put a stone or stone and a half on and would appreciate advice on how to do this. I eat fish by the way but not meat ... I also have a slight issue at the moment that I have a couple of weak teeth which mean eating nuts etc is a problem. I have wondered about using supplements such as the nourishment drink but I suspect that may not be a healthy option. My current diet approximately is below if that helps ... thanks Charlie Current daily food intake (approx) breakfast - banana and porridge with honey lunch - either soup and bread or more often a sardine sandwich with salad and salad cream (3 slices of bread) mid pm - this is where I used to have biscuits and feel I could do more ... I sometimes have a piece of fruit cake and a cup of tea eve meal - this varies and I would say is quite adequate .. either fish veg and potatoes, a pasta or rice dish followed by a yoghurt. .. I do tend to eat this quite late prob around 8pm on average (lunch would be around 1pm ish) | Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that high blood pressure could be related to being overweight. Anyway, you should know that a single high blood pressure values at the doctor's office do not indicate persistent high blood pressure. It could be related to White Coat syn Chat Doctor.

If there is any bleeding, he needs to take anti rabies immunoglobulin also, it is because rabies is 100 5 fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. Thank you. |

my son got a bruise on his hip bone last fri. it was very blue then purple...a few days later a white pea sized lump appeared. the bruise is now a week old and is brown but the center where the lump is is white. the nite I noticed it he had been vomiting but no fever...the next few days he had flu symptoms so I went to er and they said it was a virus. I didnt think to mention the bruise but now im concerned because of the lump. | Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. I think you should have mentioned the bruise with the central white discoloration in that. With the history of fever, this could be an abscess due to super added infection of the hematoma formed after the injury. Therefore, I would advise you to take your son to the ER for a review with a definite mention of the lump over the injured part. Till then, you could give him an antipyretic and an anti-emetic which might be available over the counter in your city.

My 15 year old son has a bunch of cancer sore type sores in his mouth and down his throat. This has gotten progressively worse since Monday. Now today he has developed a bunch of bumps that look kind of like Mosquito bites on his upper back (100 or more) | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has sores in his mouth. It can be due to some infection or ulceration. Chances of cancer sores are rare at age of 15. He should go for biopsy of buccal mucosa to rule out any chance of cancer. His bumps on back have no relation with sores. It can be due to skin problems or other disease, and it needs examination. Consult your doctor and go for examination.

I am having continual problems with allergies, asthma and cough. (I have been seeing an allergist for about 8 years.) I am even having more reactions to my allergy shots. The allergist just tested my IGE level with a blood test. The result was 145 on a 158 scale. I am just trying to figure out if that needs other attention. As I look it up in random places online, the numbers are all over the place, clearly not on a 158 scale. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It appears that you might not be suffering with the allergies, it may be secondary to the infection, or eosinophilic. As the IGE is low doesn't represent the allergic reaction. I advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms lifetime, levocitrizine, montelekast,triamcinolone40mg injections every fortnight. If necessary bronchodilators. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you. |
hi there im 29years old and just gone through ivf but after my egg retrievel i got ohss ,i had a period 2 weeks after i was told that i had ohss but this month my period as just bin spotting for the last 6 days is there anything to worry about i keep getting period pain but hardly any blood ,im worried because my doc told me i have to wait 3 bleeds to have my eggs put back in is this counted as a peroid | Hi there, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The first period after egg retrieval can be very light, very heavy, prolonged or shortened it varies. You should count this as a period and wait for 2 more cycles and only then consider embryo transfer as advised by your doctor. You need to recover and only then consider embryo transfer as HSS can be a very serious condition and proper recovery from it is required before considering pregnancy. Hope this helps. Regards. |
this past sunday I have developed bronchitis or some sort of bad chest cold. I went to urgent care and they put me on steroids and gave me a breathing treatment. It has been 24 hours and I am still finding moments when I wheeze. I have to take a 6 hour flight to california for work tomorrow. Is it safe to fly with this and sinus congestion? I have a inhaler i will bring along with me on the plane. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having acute bronchitis. You are not completely cured of it so better not to travel with these symptoms. You should first treat this and be free of symptoms then you can do air travel. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You will need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) because Inhaled treatment is best for bronchitis. Don't worry, you will be alright with this and able to fly. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi I have stand for five to six hours today to do some home related work being 6 week pregnant n got backache..little worried abt it is it safe to stand that much longer.. | Hi, If you have always been doing this much work and your pregnancy has been uncomplicated uphill now then it should not be any problem. I would advise you to go for an ultrasound scan to see how the pregnancy is going and if everything is fine or not. A woman can tolerate up to moderate amount of exercise in pregnancy, especially if she is accustomed to it since before pregnancy. If you have any symptoms like bleeding per magnum, abdominal cramps, then it would be wise to rule out threatened abortion, especially since you have backache.Backache could be due to multiple causes. Please get the backache evaluated beforehand. Hope this helps. Regards. |
my mother is 87 yrs old, obese with high blood pressure. two weeks ago her legs started to swell. She is on water pills, but her doctor gave her a stronger water pill, this morning her left leg is twice the size of her right leg. I called her doctor and he told me to increase her water pills. My mother is not active at all, she sleeps most of the day and will not walk. she only walks to her bed and to the bathroom. She was like this before her legs started to swell. She refuses to do anything for herself. Should I take her to the hospital? | Hi, The thing that alarms me the most is that the size of her left leg is twice of the right leg. This does not happen in hypertension. In hypertension, the size of the legs will be somewhat the same. Possibilities of single leg swelling are |
One of my relatives TLC DLC count is increased higher than the normal. And she is suffering from high fever due to that. This has happened thrice in 2 months. Can i please know the reason for the same and what are the results because of high TLC DLC count? | Total WBC count rises in the presence of infection which is the reason for fever in your relatives case. The ABCs are the blood cells whicChatDoctore into action commonly during any infection, could be bacterial, viral or any other kind. These cells are the first line if defense mechanism which try to eliminate the offending agent, in the process more and more cells take part in this, thus increasing the counts. If the infection is frequent then it raises more often. So it is an indicator of underlying pathology. It should get back to normal after treatment of course. However, if the rise is too much and not getting to normalcy after treatment of infection, then it needs to be evaluated thoroughly. Do check with the DLC to note the type of cell which is raised.

my husband is 51 recently he had a pain in his chest . it went away. then a week later he had a fever (he was much hotter to the touch than normal, his temperature was 48.9) and he had mild tremors (he felt cold and shivery) and was breathing quite fast. I have never known him to breathe like this. He felt nauseous, and had a sharp pain behind the eyes whenever he coughed (he has a small dry persistent cough for 2 years now). The next day he went to the doctor and she said he had high blood pressure 160/100 both lying down and standing, he has always had low blood pressure till now, and she thinks this may be caused by the varnish he had been coating the floor with. A week later his BP had gone down to 140/100. I cannot find any internet information which link a mild fever to high blood pressure. His fever has cleared up, but the high blood pressure is still there. Possible background risks may be exposure to ticks recently, a moderate drinking problem (about 1.5 litres of beer daily) and a family history with heart attack (only 1 case, his grandmother at the age of 65) a problem with blood in the stool for twenty years now, that comes when he is stressed, and then goes again. | Hi there ~ All that you mention in your history for your husband, including exposure to ticks, an alcohol problem, family history of heart attack, physical stressors and recent chest pain along with exposure to varnish and his inherent non-modifiable risks of being a middle-aged male are contributing factors to his hypertension (high blood pressure). I believe that using relaxation strategies like breathing exercises - Panama, yoga, meditation, regular scheduled activities as well as exercises are helpful with the high blood pressure. These are nonmedical interventions. Modification of lifestyle including diet is one part and using medications is another. It is always helpful to seek the expert advise of a qualified doctor or your family practitioner in regard to any persistent problems. I hope this helps. Take care and have a good day ! |
I have been having respiratory symptoms for over 23 days....was put on doxycycline 5 days ago. Went to the doc yesterday and had a chest xray done. It looks quite hazy in the right middle and lower lobe but she said it wasn t pneumonia. What was the haziness if it wasn t pneumonia? I m still sicker than a dog..... | Hi thanks for asking question. In pneumonia there is presence of consolidation, so chances of pneumonia here is very low. As far as the haziness is concerned following are some possibilities. If you have congestive heart failure then it can lead to pulmonary edema that gives haziness. Sometime any inflammatory condition of lung or bacterial infection can lead to increase haziness in chest x-ray. The jazzy chest x-ray not always mean pathological. So haziness can be because of increased fluid content in lung or inflammation or infection. I hope you understand my concern. Wish you good health. |
Hello/ my name is Jesenia .I am very worried about my husband who has been ill for 2weeks fevers, a dry cough, loss of appetite, lost 10 lbs,sweats like crazy at night. we have been to a specialist for his lungs and he said everthing looked good.Dr. said he needed an inhailor to treat asthma which he dont have and gave him antibiotics. He is not getting better.Please help us. | Hi ! Loss of appetite with fever and loss of weight goes in favor of some kind of chronic infection. If you reside in a region where tuberculosis infection is not infrequent, you can discuss with your doctor to investigate your husband in the lines of possible tuberculosis and treat him accordingly. He already had some antibiotics and was not cured. Therefore, this possibility has to be considered.Wishing your husband an early recovery. |
hello sir my dads is of 47 year old his heart is weak by doing all medical precautions and tests one of a doctore recommended him to have a operation of having pacemaker so could i know wat type of pace maker he would have and what is the price of dat pacemaker? | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that pacemaker implantation is required when something wrong is going with heart stimulating impulses generation or their conduction through special underlying cardiac conductance system as well. There are several cardiac disorders which deserve such a therapy, in order to supply inadequate cardiac impulses, avoid consequent daily physical performance limitations, and furthermore treat life-threatening conditions. Each cardiac disorder needs a certain pacing (and hence pacemaker type) regimen, one-chamber, dual-chamber, etc., and different pacing regimens, like AAI, VRI(R), DDD(R), etc. It is important to identify the exact primary cardiac disorder, to optimally define the appropriate pacemaker device. So, if you could supply a resting ECG, or an ambulatory 24 to 48 hours ECG recording (if the disorder is transient), it would be possible to clarify this issue. Regarding pacemaker costs, it depends on health insurance policies, available and applied to your living area, county, state, etc. and to certain individuals. There are no strict rules. Privately costs in my region, differ from type of pacemaker, and medical center (approximately 2500 - 4500 euro). Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings! |
Hello, I am a 19 year old female who was taking Alesse, and stopped for about 2 months. I wasnt able to make a doctors appointment and fill my prescription because of my busy schedule. I am atleast 2 and a half weeks late. I think I might be pregnant because about two and a half weeks ago I spotted with about a table spoon or less of blood. My breasts and nipples got sore about two weeks ago, which usually happens right before my period but then the tenderness went away, and I only notice it now if I squeeze my breast or nipples. I took a home pregnancy test that turned out negative, and peed in a cup at the walk in clinic where they also told me it was negative, but gave me a referral for blood work. Why else could my period be late? I also feel 10 times more bloated than usual. Im 51 and 95 pounds so when I eat a lot of food I usually look really bloated, but now its worse. I also have a weird fluttering sensation in my uterus which in my opinion feel like ticklish contractions? Like, my uterus feels like its fluttering bigger and smaller every second for an hour, it comes and goes. | Hi, You are saying to discontinued taking Less 2 months ago, and you are only 2 and half weeks late. As you had spotting in that time (due date), then, it could be period. It is common to have irregular periods after stopping Less or other contraceptive pills. To my opinion, this is exactly what is happening to you |

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of persistent fever which is due to viral infection, and it could be due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of body of getting infected. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician first once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Give full rest to your child with sound sleep. Chat Doctor. You can give Metal P to child for fever. Give soft foods to child to avoid irritation and plenty of fluids to child. Apply mist humidifiers in room.

I have had many episodes over a period of five years which I have thought has been normal and never seeked professional medical advice. I suffer fundamentally on extreme high moods of the point of just my hands are going so fast I have to say in my mind to stop - my down moods have got me into trouble which has concerned me very much. I had a fantastic career which progressed to 2nd nationwide for business to business sales and I just gave my resignation letter for no reason but my mind said leave this place. I just don t know what to put into words | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I think you are guiding the doctors towards bipolar disorder. Your current symptoms do have some resemblance to bipolar disorder. But there are so many other symptoms along with high and low. Also, high and low moods are extreme and mostly rungs into days, not minutes or hours. Simple mood swings, exhilaration and distress, are normal with every career oriented, successful person. Talk to your friends and they shall also tell the same story. In case if you still want a confirmation, you can visit a psychologist for a psychometric test. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http |
I am absolutely fed up with my reoccurring fever, chills, and feeling of weakness. I am 19 years old, and feel as if i am constantly getting sick. For the past month or so, i have been having a reoccurring fever with chills and weakness and an occasional soar throat. I felt better for a day or so, and now it is back. I was tested for strep and it came back negative, and my dr sent me home with allergy medicine, which really is not what i feel i needed. I get enough sleep, excersize, and i at healthy, so i am really curious why I keep feeling this way. I am scared, and assuming the worst, I would really just like a second opinion at this point. | Hello You are having fever, chills weakness and sore throat for one month and recurring. These symptoms may be due to these possibilities, these include.1 Typhoid fever, diagnosis can be confirmed by Tidal test and serology test.2 Malaria, is another reason of such type of fever, if it is untreated, resistant and neglected.3 Tuberculosis, diagnosis can be confirmed by tuberculin test, with X-ray chest and blood for CBC, ESR (if very high, suggestive of some chronic infection. However, there are so many other reasons of such fever like URINARY tract infection (urine examination) , anemia (hemoglobin examination), jaundice (hepatitis). In my opinion consult another physician and get his opinion (2nd one). Hope for good. |
Hi, Ive just been told I have two cysts on my ovaries. One is 8cm and the other is 6cm. I am 37 years old and was trying to get pregnant. Ive had to do a blood test to test if they are cancerous or not, but dont get them until tomorrow, and its driving me mad. What are my chances? Gyno says they look like dermoid cysts. Should I have surgery or should I try to reduce the size naturally? Will I have kids, ever? help please | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history, description and ultrasound findings, possibility of Desmond cyst (benign) is more. And cancerous ovarian cyst is less likely. You are also having infertility. So possibility of POD (poly cystic ovarian disease) is also high. POD is commonly associated with hormonal imbalance. And this is the cause for infertility in it. So get done blood report for hormone levels and if they are abnormal than you need hormone therapy. It will reduce the size of the cyst and improves your infertility. But if your hormone levels are normal than possibility of Desmond cyst is more. And in this case, you need to get done surgical removal. So get done blood reports and discuss these possibilities with your gynecologist. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I m so worry about it n confused why it is happening with me from 4 months My 2nd question How can I concieved baby? | Hi, I think you should go for evaluation first. It is not normal to get delayed periods' everyone. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and an ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. Also, a semen analysis of your husband should be done. If everything is fine, you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your eggs and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help. Regards Chat Doctor. |

I also take doxoril 4oo quite frequently and sometimes for a long period of time. | Hello, There are no such side effects of Montage LC. Since you are getting acid reflux & heartburn, it can be due to medicinal interactions if you are taking medicines that you have not mentioned here. Do not take alcohol while taking medicines as they may cause acidity & discomfort. You can take antacids & PPI's to get relieved.

Hi doc, I m 27 yr old having type 2 diabetic I m diabetic when I was 18 and I reduced 7 kg weight on tat period and I was doing workout reguraly so I was normal without medication my hba1c was 5.1to 5.6 and I had normal pregnancy without diabetic and baby also normal, after my delivery its two years now my hba1c is 6.8 and my doc gave me glyciphage 250 mg . My question is I want to have second baby and I dont want medication for diabetes , is it possible can I cure this waiting for ur reply? | Hello, as you've already noticed, body weight plays a very important role in blood glucose regulation. If you're overweight then loosing some Kilograms would help you reduce mean glucose values. Physical activity is a big part of diabetes treatment. It is as effective as a pill. You need to exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. You don't have to do intense exercise. Even walking a little faster than usual helps. Diet is very important as well. Avoiding food with high glycemic index and fat will help you achieve better glucose results. If you can't keep the blood sugar down to normal while being pregnant, you should receive treatment to avoid complications to the fetus. The most difficult time period comes after the 20th-24th week of pregnancy. Hormonal reasons make blood sugar regulation after that period more difficult than usual. I hope I've helped! If you'd like further information, please contact me again. Kind Regards! |
My 2 year old daughter has thick yellow scales on her scalp. they do not see to itch her and they do not flake either. I have tried to use my nail to scrape them off but does not work well they attach to the hair then. What could this be she has eczema and soriasis also on her torso and extremities | Hi, Thick yellowish scales on scalp in child Chat Doctor. For such cases, I used to give antifungal shampoos like ketoconazole for few weeks. If no response, adding mild steroid lotion often helps. But, since she has psoriasis also, kindly see your dermatologist, as psoriasis on scalp often resembles seborrhea dermatitis, and treatment is different. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I m 20 years old. I have pigmentation on my skin, small black spots ( about 4 or 5 in number on my face), which according to my doctor is due to excessive exposure to sunlight. I have undergone laser procedure to get them removed 5 to 6 times, but there are still very small amounts of the pigmentation left. I use SkinLight cream on the spots every night. Is there a way to completely get rid of these spots and prevent recurrence of them? | Hi, from the description that you have given, it seems you are most probably having freckles. Freckles can be best prevented by avoiding sun exposure and using a good sunscreen with SPF more than 40 even if staying indoors. Lasers, chemical peels (glycol, trichloroacetic acid peels), radiofrequency or even segmenting creams like the one that you are using can be used to lighten them. There are multiple laser treatments like fr axel, q switched or ILL available for freckles. Consult your dermatologist to know which one would suit you better. Take care. |

Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain in your back. I will advise you to do MRI spinor these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

I have been having quite bad lower back pain, in the pelvis region for close to 3 weeks now.. I have had constant spotting between periods and they have been very irregular. I have had the contraceptive implant put in about 10 months ago.. I have previously had cin2 but had lettz procedure to remove it and several smears which have come back black although i am overdue one now. I had severe spd in both my pregnancies so im wondering could the pain be related to this. Or my biggest fear is they are cancer symptoms. I am an otherwise healthy 34 year old female. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thank you. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I have gone through your query, and would like to start of by speaking about your SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction). The only reason why most women are diagnosed with SPD during pregnancy is because the pelvis is directly involved with birth. But SPD can present in women who are not pregnant as well, this is mainly because SPD involves a misalignment of the pelvis, due to which it can put pressure on surrounding structures, especially the spinal cord, which is very sensitive and can easily result in pain (even severe at times). I highly doubt this could be related to cancer. But for your satisfaction, why don't you go ahead with an ultrasound of the pelvis and abdomen and a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), which will help in superficial suspicion of any such abnormalities. You can also follow this up with an x-ray of the lumbar spine and pelvis, which will ensure that the position of your pelvis is what is causing your presentation. Do not worry, I can understand your anxiety, but once SPD is confirmed as the cause, wearing lumbar and pelvic support belts will surely help you, along with some help from a physiotherapist. Wishing you a symptom-free life. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at |
This is going on to the third day of my throat feeling clogged with mucus and hacking cough. No hystory of allergies. Did have each eyes a little a few days ago. But this really started after a heavy workout in the gym on Friday. I ve been resting since Friday morning and drinking lots of fluids, resting, etc. took mucinnex once and some homeopathic decongestant and cough drops. Cough is worst when I lay down. Any suggestions? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of viral infection is more. Viral infection can sometimes cause bronchitis (inflammation of airways) and this in turn causes breathlessness. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hi Mia, My doc has prescribed primolut for 10 days and then to follow byt taking clomid day 5 of my period! I am approx day 13 into my current cycle. My question is i am been having unprotected intercourse( trying to conveive) and i am now having a stretchy discharge ... i think am ovoulating? My worry is will the primolut prevent fertilation/ implantation if i was to start primolut? | Hello thank you for your query. Primolut does not prevent fertilization.However, in the event that you do conceive, primal contains norethisterone which has adverse effects on the pregnancy. Your doctor hopes to regulate your current cycle before beginning stimulation with Closed next month. Hence, primal which contains progesterone has been prescribed. Please discuss with your doctor, as there are various other alternatives to Primal such as Me prate and Phaeton, which will serve the pregnancy and also not cause harm in case you ovulate / conceive. Take care. |
hi doc, I had intercourse during my ovulation day, which i did a miscalculation and found out 6 days upon my intercourse, i took 2 tablets of postinor 2 last night and wonder will that help since its already 6 days. What other option do i have to make sure that i don get pregnant this time? | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the chance for avoiding pregnancy lies within 72 hours of unprotected sex with posting 2 and first dose need to be taken within 12 hours. There are other method like mifepristone, but it should be taken after consultation with a doctor. And the last option is waiting till the period and if it is missed a urine pregnancy test is done after a week of missed period and if it is positive then it can be terminated medically within 6-7 weeks and surgically later on. Best regards... |
Gud Morning, I want to know the why am I losing appetite, distaste for food, hair-loss and unexplained bruises. I m losing interest in everything and this affects me and my relationship wif everyone badly. At tymes, I will contemplate to either give up or to end it quickly my life. How am I supposed to deal wif my problems. | Hi Some of your symptoms look like they could be related to Depression, but I am concerned about your hair loss and bruises which are not typically associated with pure psychological problems.there could be physical reasons for all these symptoms. (unless you have already been prescribed by an antidepressant which belongs to a group called SSRIs-which could explain your unexplained bruises) My advice would be to consult a physician first and if there is nothing physical that he can find causing these then consult a psychiatrist. Hope this helps. |

5 days ago I started experiencing extreme sharp pain in my back below my rib cage. I went to the chiropractor which then the pain was specific to my right side under my rib cage.At times it felt like labor pains.I was given pain killers and muscle relaxants which helped with the pain. They did urine and blood tests but everything came back normal.I have started my menstrual cycle today.Could this have caused such extreme pain?Could it be related at all? | Hello, Thanks for your query. The pain at the bottom center of the rib cage could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. If the pain is aggravated with deep breathing or coughing then a rib injury or a muscular sprain is likely. The other causes that need to be ruled out include lung infections like pleuritic. Stopping smoking might help in reducing the symptoms do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |
I had a cyst in my left butt cheek the size of maybe an tennis ball or bigger. I had surgery two years ago in which the cyst was removed but also a huge chuck of my butt muscle in which has left a pretty big size dent.. The doctor that performed the surgery told me it would fill in in time it has already been two years and I really feel like it s not going to fill in at least not to the normal size it once was so my question is.. Is it realistic to think it will never fill back in or will it fill in and how long would it take | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned by you about the cyst and the surgery you have undergone. The surgery was performed to help ease of the cyst. Now since the space you are feeling empty there is not filled than you need to perform some exercises to strengthen the muscles and eliminate the space. Usually due to the cyst the muscle is overstretched and then after removal there is empty space which can be filled by exercises. Also, to not allow that space to be occupied by anything else in future you need to have a good tone of the muscles. I am sure you will be helped and your complaints will be eliminated by toning of muscles. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |
I use to take an extremely high dose of Oxycodone...was taking for 11 years...dosage was increased over and over and over....by the time I finally insisted that my pain mgmt doctor put me in the hospital and rapid detox me, my daily dose was up to 720mg a day {all prescribed!]...that was 4 years ago! I was never a mental addict of this drug...I quit when I couldn t stand my life being robbed any longer, and except for the physical withdrawl symptoms, I have never, ever desired to take it again. My question is | Hello, The physiology usually changes back. Furthermore, having a feeling of wanting more may be a psychological expectation AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, it is usually NOT associated with tolerance to high doses of narcotics. It is the usual situation that someone who expects to need a previously sky-high dose (and that is the highest I've ever heard of and I'm an addiction doctor!) will die from a fatal overdose when they go back to their previous dose. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. |
hi. i am a 21 year old male medical student... i had exertional rhabdomyolysis 2 weeks ago.. now i am completely back to normal regarding CK levels.. the problem is my ALT and AST didn t drop back to normal.. i had an abdominal ultrasound that revealed a mildly enlarged fatty liver (17 cm).. my alt level is in the 200 s and AST level is in the 60 s. i have a perfect body mass index but i have a lot of fat in my body especially in the abdominal region. the doctor prescribed silymarin with acetyle cyctein.. now where should i go from here? | Hi, from what I understand you are being cured for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (I think the biological causes of liver damage and other autoimmune causes, as well as liver overload injury causes were excluded before, or should be excluded, while under this treatment). The treatment is o.k, I'd join It E 100 mg three times a day, for two months while trying to remodel your body adipose tissue expansion of course with a gradual diet and appropriate exercise (not till exertional rhabdomyolysis), and of course monitoring monthly your transaminase. I hope have answered your question. |
Hi I have tried to get a doctors appointment today but been unsuccessful. I have been sick and nauseous over the last couple week or so, i have had lower back pain for around a month now, my breast have been discharging milk and a green substance, i have a brown discharge and havent came on my period., I have a headache everyday, low appetite. I have a coil fitted and currently take 40mg of my antidepressant. I am also an alcholic, but i havent been able to drink my normal amount over the last few days due to sickness | Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor.You're having multiple complaints, which is probably due to combined result of following issues |
i had sex w/ a friend using a spermicidal lubricated condom 5 days before she is due for her period. durring the episode i felt like i was going to ejaculate but i pulled out and it seemed that i stopped my self and i continued. At one point the condom began to slip off which i immediately noticed and pulled back down to the base. When i felt i was going to ejaculate i pulled out (condom still on) took off the condom and ejaculated completely away from her. i also checked the condom w/ water for leaks there were none. But i worry that there may have been semen in the condom when it slipped a little less then half way up the shaft. So what are the chances of pregnancy in this particular situatation? if there was semen in the condom when it slipped? | Hello dear, i understand your concern. In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are rare in your case. As the ejaculation did not occur while the penis was inside the vagina. Even if the semen was there the pregnancy is unlikely as 5 days before the period comes under safe period and the risk of pregnancy is nil during this period. But this is considered only in those with regular cycles where the expected date of period can be predicted. So overall from your history pregnancy appears to be rare possibility. So relax. Best regards... |
When I lie down I can feel my head crackling, I feel like the bones are adjusting to the pressure. I don t know if it is a natural thing for the plates of the skull to move, but it is causing me distress. I cannot sleep because I fear my skull might break and open up. My aunt had brain hemorrhage and she started feeling her skull crackling after the operation. I m even thinking that it might be a psychosis that I developed after seeing my aunt suffering. Is it also possible for the bones of the skull to soften? During the day I feel pressure in my skull as well, it comes and goes in different areas. I am 33 years old and don t have any medical problems. Just depression and a slight tinnitus. | Hi, as you mentioned your history thank for it. Since you mentioned depression this could be the major cause where you are feeling that there is a movement in a cranium. As you are 33 years old the development of the cranium is stopped and also this is totally an abnormal feeling due to depression.performing regular meditation and breathing exercises will help you come out of this situation. Also if you want to clear the doubts about hemorrhage in brain then an MRI will clear out the doubt. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery |

I am a 46 old female and I am suffering with lightheaded feelings and dizziness . I have some pressure in the right hand side of my head which ones and goes .my blood pressure has been quite high recently can this be causing the dizziness , blood pressure has been 165/108 down to 165/95 varied | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question and understand your concern. I would like to explain that your symptoms are probably caused by the high blood pressure. You should know that the brain function is closely related to the blood pressure. Normally within some blood pressure limits, the brain has an auto regulatory function, which allows it to maintain a normal function despite the slight fluctuations in blood pressure. But if it is a higher blood pressure, the pressure is transmitted into the brain vessels and the brain tissue, causing dizziness, lightheaded feeling and headache. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes and thyroid hormone levels to exclude other causes of high blood pressure. You should take into consideration beginning an antihypertensive therapy to lower your blood pressure. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes, |
I was diagnosed with Benign Positional Vertigo on August 30th. I have been feeling better, less vertigo. I went to a doctor on September 22 with my husband who had a bad cold. The PA said he had a bad chest cold and I asked to check me for symptoms. He looked in my ears and said I had a severe ear infection. I have had no ear pain. He prescribed 875 mg Augmentin twice a day. I have taken 5 pills and am experiencing 24 hour diarrhea. Can BPV make the ears appear to be infected? | Hello, Welcome and thanks for your query.BPV does not lead to ear infection nor does it have any relationship to external ear (the part one can see looking from outside) infection. Vertigo may occur if there is laryngitis which is an inner ear inflammation which may be related to a viral infection. The diarrhea is likely to be related to Augmenting and is likely to stop if you discontinue the medicine. Do get back to me if you have further queries |
Yesterday, midday bumps appeared on hands. (Description | You most probably is having urticaria in which the patient develops multiple itchy transient skin colored to erythematous plaques over body which have a tendency to spread to other parts...you have to take antihistamines for the same...

hello .I was diagnosed with mrsa three weeks ago .was treated with Bactrim both pill and sream .I have had severe headaches that continure to this day .I also have felt like crap flu like symptoms .no fever .had catscan .my fear is that ist has not been defeated and that it could spread to spine and brain | Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. MRSA is the staphylococcus bacteria. It can cause variety of infection and symptoms. Headache is one of the symptoms of the disease. I advise you should continue your current treatment. You can in addition do culture and sensitivity from the organisms. MRSA has wide resistant pattern. So once we have sensitivity we can take the antibiotics accordingly. Please do not discontinue half treatment. As MRSA than never responds to half treated antibiotics. Once cured you have to clear the MRSA from the system. You can use mupirocin ointment to clear MRSA from the system. Apply it to the groin, umbilicus, nasal septum etc. After applications for a week you can do swab testing for MRSA from this area. If you are free from MRSA its good otherwise it requires another round of treatment until you are cured. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor |
Can the effectiveness of Implanon Nxt Implant be altered after a general anaesthetic? I had Implanon inserted in October last year and had no issues at all ( had my period when it was inserted but hadn t had a period since) and had a general anaesthetic in January. I had intercourse about 2 weeks after the surgery and about 10 days after that I started spotting but no real bleeding . Since then I have been feeling nauseated, experiencing extremely tender breasts, fatigue and weight gain . Am wondering whether the Implanon could have failed as a result of the anaesthetic? | Hi, Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. I really don't think an anesthetic can effect how the implant works, they are separate things and they both work in different ways. As for why you have your current symptoms, well I am not quite sure why you are feeling the way you are, it could be a result of whatever procedure you had done which required the anesthetic, and it could be that it your PMS.Anyhow, take a home pregnancy test and that should give you your answer. I hope this answered your question. |
I am experiencing numbness in my left arm all day already. It felt like a shock just below my elbow for most of the day and that caused my arm to go numb. for the last 10 minutes I have been sneezing and with the sneezing comes a terrible pain in my left arm which makes my fingers and arm in the elbow nook go numb. What can it be? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. The spine is made up of an alignment of small bones. These bones have sponge like discs between them and the spinal cord passes along the back of these bones through the spinal canal. There might be pressure on the discs in the cervical spine during sneezing and this is causing slight pressure on the spinal canal at a particular level and causing pinching of nerve roots leading to severe pain in the area supplied by the nerve. As your symptoms are on the left it is possible that the nerve roots on the left side are affected. You require to be examined a neurologist and an MRI of the cervical spine if indicated to know if the nerve are under pressure and the location. There are patients who get relief by doing physiotherapy and taking neurogenic pain relievers. Injections are also given for relief. However, this might not always happen. If your pain is severe and not responding to medical treatment then the disc protrusion needs to be removed by doing a small surgery at the cervical neck region. Presently, laser assisted surgical techniques are also available. If this is the first time this has happened then it is a mild problem. Please do not worry. |
Can the condition of squamos papilloma be part of HPV. And is it pass by having a different sex partner? Oh yea its in my stomach area and if its a virus ,can I get it in other areas of my body ,like Virginia? I am worried of my results from my endoscopy on Friday last week. | Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. Yes long term HPV can cause papilloma. If the HPV not attended in time it can lead to papilloma. Please start treatment of papilloma, at earliest otherwise it may turn in to papilloma. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist. |
I just got found out that my l5 S1 had a small central caudal extrusion superimposed on mild retrolisthesis of L5 S1 no mass effect on the s1 roots, Severe left milder right foraminal stenosis with asymmetric mass effect on left L5 dorsal ganglion... what does all this mean? Do you think spinal injections will help? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your MRI findings. These suggest mild compression of nerves in the lumbar region (lower back), which may produce back pain, pain in the legs, and numbness of feet. Treatment would depend on the severity of symptoms. Initial treatment would consist of medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules, along with physiotherapy. If the pain relief is inadequate, then, epidural injections would be helpful. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

I experice this more when I am on my menstural cylce. but it is not as noticeable when I am not on my cylce, But the annoying pain is still there. it bothers me some days and some days it does not. Any suggestions? | Hi. Thanks for your query. You have a typical history of little discomfort and slight pain in the lower abdomen when you are on periods.

I found about a marble sized hard lump on the back of my neck the other day, it doesnt hurt when i touch it but i i turn my neck there is a slight pain and i also have a slight headache, i also have a much smaller sized lump on my labia however this one has been there for a while. What could this be ? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged lymph node. It can be due to some reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |
how do i treat a rash (caused by spitting up) around my babys neck. he is 2 months. the rash in raw red broken skin in the fat folds of his neck. need to know how to treat and prevent. obviously i know to wash, bath, and keep skin dry but he spits up sometimes that i miss. thanks,new mommy | Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. As a matter of fact even my kid had this when young. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor. For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. |
I have been having abdominal pain for awhile now and recently noticed a lump a lump on my lower right side of my stomach followed by a big bruise. The bruise had gone away but not the lump nor the pain and now a few weeks later, another bruise is appearing. What could that be? | Hi I am Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history of recurrent pain followed by formation of a lump on the lower right side of abdomen which is also painful points to the possibility of an undetected attack of appendicitis resulting in formation of an appendicular lump. Another possibility is the formation of a chronic ectopic lump in case of females which might cause bruising of the abdominal layers along with pain. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound of whole abdomen to know the site of origin of the lump along with some investigations like CBC, serum Chat Doctor estimation for arriving at a diagnosis for appropriate planned management. Till then, you could go for an anti-spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |
My 8 year grandaughter with autism (sometimes w/o clear verbage)was born with a nodule on the bridge of her nose between her eyebrows and in the recent months has become a behavior problem. No doctor has wanted to deal with this bump but I am beignnign to think it is pressing on the front lobe of her brain. Her hand wss scanned and she has the body of a ten year old, pubic hair and hair under her arm. Her mom has thyroid cancer but had thyroid removed but still has a piece on her larynax. So I developed more of a concern | Hi... The swelling you are Quoting that is present on the bridge of the nose could be a Desmond or a Desmond cyst. This has got nothing to do with her autism or it's pressing over the frontal lobe of the brain is also a far-fetched idea. If such a tumor is pressing on the frontal lobe there would have been other dangerous signs like continuous vomiting, high blood pressure, serious and severe behavioral disturbances. You need not worry about this. Regards - |
Hi there, I have been work for night sift 5month already in a cold place airport, specially when early in the morning its get more chil. Till have this unwell feeling when its comes to breath the cold air etheir stay in aircondotioner room. Its makes me uncomfortable when breath in the air I feel like my chest being struck by the cold air and its hurt. When its gets longer I my troat get humidity and cause me caugh..

I wait till it less pain then I can wake my body.. Can I know what my desease is? Could it be bronchitis factor?? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. You have mentioned that you feel breathlessness and chest tightness when in too much of cold. Based on the history you have mentioned it appear to be mild obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. You should undergo some investigations like complete blood count, chest X-ray and spirometry to arrive at the diagnoses. If you have mild asthma or other obstructive lung disease than albuterol or other bronchodilators and inhalation steroid will be given to you. I advise you should consult a doctor for check up and treatment. I hope this will be helpful. Take care. |
dear sir/mamyesterday i got up from sleep and i got sudden pain in my lower abdominal region at back side,i tink near my kidney,dont knw exactly in kidney or not,it was paining very badlly and till 1 hr i was waiting so that the pain would vainish but it didnt,i went to doc ,he told me to get tested for blood,urine n sonography,can you please tell me wat could be the reason behind my pain?im very much worried as doc said it could be a kidney infection or stone.please suggest me precautions | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that infection or stone may be the cause of the pain. Urinary tract infections would normally have other symptoms such as frequency of urination, discomfort on urination, change in the color or odor of the urine. If you do not have any of these added symptoms then infection is not likely and the pain may be due to a stone. The ultrasound would be able to determine if a stone is present. The treatment of kidney stones involve the use of pain medication and a lot of fluid. If the stone is small then it would pass on its own. If it is too large and medical intervention would be needed. I hope this helps |
Hi Doctor, I am 22 years old (Unmarried) . My Tbigm is 2.25 it comes out positive. I am regularly suffering with the pain at the right bottom side of stomach. My periods are also not regular, Last was on January 2012. Doctor said that it is infection and you will have to continue treatment for 6 month bt they didnt specify the reason why this infection happened to me. Still with the regularity of medicines i am suffering with the pain.Please specify me the reason of this infection and its effects.Thank you | Hi. Tuberculosis of the abdomen is caused by specific bacteria and goes to intestine by either an oral route or blood stream. The best way to diagnose the pain in your case would be to undergo CT scan of the abdomen after a proper preparation. Also, good is the investigation called Enterocytes if CT indicates an obstructing lesion yet can not specify. You may need a surgery for removing the cause of pain. |
Hi, I had a Root Canal treatment (1st Sitting) done. Doctor advised to take Ciplox-Tz along with IMOL Plus. From the start of the medicine course, I have been experiencing dizziness and discomfort. Online research suggest that Ciploz-tz (Ciprolfloxin) and should be not taken with and NSAIDs like Imol plus. Please suggest if this is correct.ThanksAnil | Hello and welcome. The medication that your doctor had prescribed are correct, and they are usually given for short duration like three to five days. This reduces the infection and pain.Therefore, the root canal procedure can be done successfully.However, if you find discomfort after consumption of medication then you can definitely speak to your doctor regarding change of Chat Doctor.
