It was encased in a large blood clot the size of a tennis ball. now I have nonestop heavy bleeding, I have gone through 5 pads in a 5 hour period and have passed 11 clots twice the size of fifty cent pieces in 9 hours, the blood is a dark red. i also have discomfort, pain and lighheadedness when the clots pass. I am 22 years old, 55 and 190 lbs. | Hi, Thanks for the query. You once consult gynecologist and get examined to find out the possible cause for the bleeding. Take medicines to stop the bleeding first. The if there is any local cause for the bleeding let it be treated. If the bleeding was only due to hormonal imbalance, then you have to go for hormonal pills for few months to regularize the periods. For more details you can ask me through |
hi, male, 48 years old, 5 10 /195 pounds. The following was listed in an MRI report | Your MRE spine shows disc prolapse L4-L5 region compressing S1 root. THIS may be an incidental finding at age 48. But if you have symptom such as backache, radiating pain to lower limb back side, any weaknesses in lower limb or sensory loss, then you can consult neurosurgeon for surgery. But if you have only pain then go for medical treatment only not surgical. Severity of MRI finding depend on your clinical symptom as motor weakness on sensory loss in limb. At this age without symptom only MRI finding is non-specific |
Father 82 years old, stage 4 cancer, 2/3 of a lung, blood clot issues, needs hernia surgery. Family knows the risks of having the surgery not and not having the surgery.Not sure what to do. He is not in any pain and not having any issues other the size of hernia is growing. Started 7 mo ago with a 3 finger to now a canalope size hernia. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you should withhold surgery for hernia. He is not having any symptoms of hernia which need emergency surgery. The main reason for avoiding surgery in his case is his highly compromised Cardio respiratory system. Surgery will be life-threatening for him, intraoperatively as well as post operative. He may succumb on operation table. And hernia surgery will not increase his life span. So why to take risk of life. Better to start conservative treatment for hernia like abdominal belt, avoid coughing and straining etc. |

Ok so I am currently 18 years old and ever since I could remember I ve been a frequent masterbator, and I have never really seen any drastic changes in my testicular region until I d say about 2 to 3 years ago. And due to an increase in my masterbating habits I have slowly but surely become somewhat of an addict, and have been doing it quite excessively lately. But anyway because of all this frequent masturbation I noticed a major size change in my testicles and have become abnormally smaller almost child like, I do notice some slight to mildly severe exhaustion but I just can t stop like I said before I have become somewhat of an addict. I have also noticed that the left testicle is somewhat bigger than the right testicle & I m just wondering what exactly have I done to my self? Have I worn myself out? I just would like to have normal size testicles that function properly, Please Help! | Hifirst and foremost masturbation does not cause your testicular size to reduce that is like saying frequent ejaculation causes reduced testicular size besides I would suggest you to try to get an ultrasound of scrotum this may help evaluate the actual testicular sizes you will know if the size is actually reducedhoweverthe fact that you yourself think that you are almost addicted to the procedure and habit, I would suggest you try to curtail it by doing something constructive during the hours of your activity best of luck |
I m 19 years old , recently I observed that I have slight bent penis towards right from the very base. So I go over the internet in order to find some answers and came across Peyronie s Disease and of course without any doubt saw some shocking images. But by studying a bit more I came to realize that I don t suffer any symptoms like swelling or pain other than a turn which is definitely not that kind of a bent like the one in disease. So should I be concerned or it s just natural shape or due to the way I sleep or put my penis during clothing ? | HelloThanks for your query. You have bending of your penis towards Rt side. This could be due to scarring in the Tunica Albania an envelope that covers erectile tissue. Normally it gets cured itself without any treatment and does require treatment if the curvature is more than 30 degree and hinders penetration of vagina during intercourse. Please monitor it carefully and consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and further treatment if required. Chat Doctor. |

Im having chest pains and its worrying me. I had a heart murmur as a child but I was told it went away. But now that Im 265 lbs Im worried that it came back, or I have some other heart problem. Id say every half hour or so it would feel like my heart is bubbling like theres gas in my heart. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you should immediately consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG) to rule out cardiac diseases. You had murmured in childhood and having obesity at present. So you are at risk of heart disease like arrhythmia. Arrhythmia can cause bubbling, gaseous feeling in chest area. So get done above-mentioned tests. If all are normal than possibility of gaseous distention of stomach due to gastritis is more. So take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Lose weight. Avoid hot and spicy food. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

When ever I get a cut in my mouth I usually just let it heal on its own but because i have to wear retainers every night the cut in my mouth just wouldnt let it happen because it hurt to much. Therefore yesterday i bought some orajel to numb it while i wear my retainer. So last night i put some on then when i woke up this morning I took my retainer out to find that were my cut was the gums around it reaching from one tooth to the other was back,really dark red. normally I would go to a dentist right away but at the moment I dont have insurance.

If I am treating doctor, then I would like to examine the swelling first. Diagnosis can be confirmed after examination only. A neck lump may be a lymph node swelling and other swelling on chest me be lipoma or other cyst like sebaceous cyst. Lymph node swelling may subside itself, but lipoma or sebaceous cyst needs excision. Thank You. |
For a few days I ve woke up with a swollen gland under my chin, and yesterday I got a full blown cold sore. I was wondering if my cold sore could be the culprit of my swollen saliva gland. I m 39 yrs old and have had cold sores since I was a teenager and have never had my saliva gland swell at the same time. | Hello, It could be a swollen lymph node. It is due to infection or inflammation in the surrounding region as in case of decayed teeth or pharyngitis. Consult a general practitioner and start a short course of antibiotics. Generally, it will settle in a couple of days. If symptoms persist you can consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My husband has had chest wall pain and low platelets. I think they are related somehow. We have been to several doctors and have an many tests run, but now answers for the chest wall pain. They have been treating the low platelets. My husband hasnt worked since last october. We went to Mayo to the Pain Rehab center which has helped, but not enough to get him back to work. If he over does it,his pain is 7 or 8. A very low key day his pain is 4 to a 5. Please help us if you have any suggestions. Thanks | Cellophane you for asking in Chat Doctor. First we need to know if there is a lung disease or not that cause chest pain. Does your husband had a chest HRCT and a procedure called bronchoscopy? If these two examinations are negative the next step is to do a consultation with the hematologist for the low platelet count. There are some hematologic pathologies that cause low platelets and as a complaint is chest wall pain. So my opinion is that you should consult a hematologist and probably he/she should do a test called Pyelogram. Thank you. |

hello doctor am taking pills for my regularation of periods after miscarriage by advice of doctor but yesterday i had sex with my husband and took option72 tablet for unplanned pregnency so now my question is does that tablet stops my period for this month ? please help me | Hi, What pills are you taking to regularize menstrual cycles? Option 72 tablet will not stop your period. It helps in avoiding implantation and thus the chance of pregnancy. It is 95% effective in avoiding pregnancy if taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex. Its effect on menstrual cycle depends on during which part of the cycle you took these pills. If you have taken these pills in the first half of your menstrual cycle, your period may get advanced. If taken in the second half of cycle it may get postponed. However, if your period is delayed by more than a week, then get the pregnancy test done as there is a very small possibility of treatment failure (method failure). I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. |
hi, i m suffering from a combination of atopic dermatitis , psorisis and allergy from last 5-6 yrs..it started after the birth of my first child..my skin becomes itchy, dry and red on my face and neck..my eyes becomes puffy..i ve taken medicines, anti allergic injection also..i;ve even tried treating it by homeopathy ..initially the results r seen but again it comes back to normal..if i take 5mg. betnesol, just for 3-4 days..my skin becomes clear and normal..but i am scared as i dont want to be depended on steroid ..please help me as its been from quite a long time. | Hi! As you have mentioned your complaints are basically hypersensitive and autoimmune by nature. this kind of problems are caused by altered sensitivity and susceptibility to the environment (may in external or internal). Being a homeopath what I can say is that homeopathy is most probably more suitable to treat such condition as it treats the person, and not the disease. As you have taken Homeopathy in past there may be 2 things, 1) As psoriasis is being known for its recurrence, it may have come back but this time in less intensity and in less area of your body. 2) your homeopath needs to rework on your case, make fresh case taking and see how things unfold. I don't think other modes can give you lasting results. Regards and take care, |

Hello. We have been trying to conceive for over a year now. I came off birthcontrol over Oct 2011, and have not practiced any for of birth control since. Since then I have had very irregular periods (cycles | Hi, As you have very irregular periods, that in itself could be causing the failure in conception. I would be able to comment better if you can provide all the hormone reports and any other tests done. You should have a trans-vaginal sonogram to see if the ovaries are normal. Tubal patency needs to be tested. Your partner should be assessed. Your TSH level is normal but T4 is slightly on the higher side. Your BMI is high normal. Your ovulation status should be ascertained and intercourse timed and ovulation induction is done if natural ovulation is inadequate or absent. Please get back with reports if you need further opinion or consult your doctor for further suggestions. Good luck. |

Hi, I am scheduled to have a Synvisc injection in my knee tomorrow. I volunteer at a local animal shelter and was scratched by one of the cats yesterday. The wound looks fine, but Im having a tetanus booster tomorrow morning. Is it OK to have the tetanus booster and the Synvisc shot on the same day? Thank you | Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should go for it. Both the thing have different mechanism of action, and they do not interfere with each other. Synvisc injection is used to replace the fluids in the knee joints. It has nothing to do with antibodies in the body, intern it is inert material. While tetanus toxins generate the antibodies in the body against the tetanus bacilli. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist. |

I dont have a fever right now, dont think I have had one recently. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I have read your query and understand the concern, This could be some sort of allergic reaction due to which there is blood extravasation has occurred at your upper leg area.

I had a procedure done on Friday where a general anesthesia was administered along with oxygen mask, and oxygen tubing on the side of my mouth. When I came through, my nose was dripping like a f aucet, and started sneezing. I have already gone through 7 boxes of tissue. Help! Please | Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. If you have not had any allergy problem in the past, most probably it may be local irritation to nose by oxygen that caused running nose & sneezing. There is nothing serious, and you need not worry. It will subside by itself, I would also suggest you to take a levocetirizine (or any other antihistamine Chat Doctor. This will help a lot. However, if you have been allergic previously, there are many possible allergens in a hospital like latex, some medications, etc. In that case I would suggest you to take a combination of montelukast & levocetirizine. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you a quick recovery & best of the health. Regards. |
My 13 year old daughter has been complaining the last few days that her stomach hurts everytime after she eats. It doesn t make a difference what or how much she eats. I gave her some acid reflux medicine today to see if that made any difference. Is she too young to have gallbladder problems, as it seems most women in my family have had theirs removed. Thanks you in advance dor any advice. | Hello,.I can understand your anxiety but at this age common cause for stomach pain will be worm infestation also . If antacid has given relief to your child, then just try to modify her diet with fewer spices and more of bland diet and also more fruits and liquids to avoid further gastritis in the future,make sure she eats at regular timings . And give your child one Oriental i.e. albendazole 400 mg tab to combat worm infestation too.and coming to gall bladder problems .of course it has family predisposition but don't get tensed and modifying the diet also reduces the chances of gall bladder problem to great extent .at this age probability is very less unless your diet is full of spices and oily food,so take good diet and avoid the problem.all the best . |
I took the shot and started duphaston pills for 10 days, which r finished on the 7th of June, I got period pains right after I finished, but still no period. Does period pain mean it s coming?

I just want to know if there is still hope in pregnancy, Thanks XXXX. | Hello, Duphaston is a hormonal preparation and is advised in cases of hormonal deficiency of progesterone in woman trying to conceive. It's not common to get pain with phaeton. You can take pregnancy test 1 week after stopping phaeton tablet. The chance of pregnancy is 20 percent more than normal cycle. So, there is still a chance for pregnancy. I suggest taking the pregnancy test to confirm or exclude the pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I had a prostate biopsy done last November. Full recovery was pretty fast; took just a few weeks. However, since the procedure, I started to experience some sorts of ED (i.e., lost of sexual desire, lack of full erection, involuntary semen dropping). That seemed to go all away after 6 months. I basically went back to normal. Then I went for a follow up check up with my urologist. He did the routine prostate check (with the finger). That happened about 3 weeks ago; since then I have been experiencing the same ED problems that I had right after the biopsy was performed. I wonder if these problems are still temporary side effects or they are permanent? | Hi actually prostate is the cause for ED in your case but smoking, Alchohal and diabetes also effect for such situation and Psychological effect also cause ED.1st take good diet, just relax your mind it may be helpful if not than sildenafil 25\u00a0mg may start if their in no contraindication like you are taking any nitrate containing medicine angina stroke or peptic ulcer you can start the sildenafil for ED, and some lab test like U and E, LFT,glucose LH and FH, lipids and testosterone required if it remain permeant |
HI!im 32 yrs old who has been ttc for quite some time now. Im not sure if i have conceived now. I was actually expecting to get my periods yesterday, but i happened to take just 3 tablets of Promilut N. Im worried that if im pregnant, will it affect my pregnancy?? | Hallow Dear, Primolut N is a Progesterone preparation. The name Progesterone itself suggests that it is required to stabilize the pregnancy. During pregnancy, the levels of progesterone go on increasing to stabilize the pregnancy. Hence, Primal N will not cause any harm at this stage of your menstrual period. In fact, these pills will help you diagnose the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, you will get with Chat Doctor. If you do not get period by that time, you are most likely pregnant. I hope this helps and assures you. |
I am 27 years ord with ADD and limit depression at times. I am currently taking 150 mg bubropion/voxra and 100 mg setralin/zoloft. I feel sometimes tired and dosed, sometimes it feels great and some not. Should I just consult with my doctor to take one of those medications or do I possible need both of those? | Hello, I think that your description of how you feel with your medication is very good to carry with you to your next appointment with your doctor. I always like to encourage patients to speak frankly with their physicians about medicines they've been prescribed and to tell the doctor without fear or hesitation if something seems to be making a difference or not. He/she is the best one to determine your need for different doses, dosing schedules, or the inclusion of adjunct medications. It is especially important to realize that some of these medications used for depression and ADD can have Chat Doctor. |

I had a test done my heart beat is low and when i stand up my blood pressure is low . I have been told i suffer from from anxiety. Can i know about some treatment? | HI Thanks for posting your query. I personally feel your evaluation for your problem is inadequate. I advise you to get your ears tested by an ENT specialist, get an MRI Brain also. Also increase your salt intake, Chat Doctor. You can take Tab Vermin 8\u00a0mg as and when required for dizziness but do get these tests done and revert. Also, please mention how much exactly is your Heart rate and BP in sitting and standing position. |
I have severe (8) right shoulder pain that has been consistent for 5 days. The pain radiates down the arm to just above the elbow. There is some pain radiating to the right side of my neck. I have tried 800 mg Motrin, also a muscle relaxer but there does not seem to be any relief. Hot moist heat helps for awhile but the pain returns. I am female age 64. | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned your pain radiates from neck up to elbow, then you should get assessment done by a physical therapist, as it looks to me more of a pinched nerve pain. The nerve is pinched in the cervical region and because of it, the pain is radiating. Using a Neck collar should you relieve the pain for time being. Later undergoing physical therapy will help to improve the strength in the muscles of the neck and the upper limb. Performing the exercises taught by physical therapist at home will help for longer run benefits. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

How many cycles did you get after that? If you have had only one period after 2 months then you must suspect pregnancy. Since you are passing clots, I suggest you to see your doctor for a proper examination and treatment. Pregnancy tests, especially urine tests may not become positive when the Chat Doctor levels are low, so you have to go for a blood test or a sonogram. Take care. |

hello doctor my father is aged 70. He suffers from peripheral neuropathy for the past 5 years. He has mild diabetes. He has taken many medications but to not much effect. I have heard that 2500 micrograms of methylcobalamin injected with saline intrathecally gives good results. Also a cream called capsaicin also helps. Kindly advise the best medicine. Regards Kishore Bhargav | Hi, First, your father should take vitamin B complex, twice a day after meals and one ampule vitamin B 12 every week, besides controlling the blood sugar. Moreover, the healthy diet is essential, he should avoid fat-rich diet and too much salt in diet. The regulation of the blood pressure is mandatory besides, checking kidney functions and his eyes every six months. He could take methylcobalamin 1000 micrograms oral once per day after meals. The injection dose is too high for him. Capsaicin cream is good for him when he suffers from pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...a woman sitting in front of me on a plane recently had a loud hard cough, pulled her hair and picked at her scalp, brushed her hair (hard) for 30 minutes straight and could not sit still. Her companion was aware of this but made no comments. At first these actions were extremely annoying, but then we were worried for her. What might have been her medical problem> | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query and understand the problem of that girl. Her loud cough could be because of bronchitis (allergic or infective) or pertussis or might be a just one time hard cough etc. If she tends to cough louder and harder continuously the must be advised to investigate the underlying cause further because her coughing might be contagious. She may need to undergo routine blood count, ESR,sputum examination with x-ray chest and pulmonary function test to rule out any infective lung or respiratory pathology. She might require antibiotics (quinolones or accolades or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) with cough suppressants anti-allergic Chat Doctor. Furthermore, she must consult your pulmonologist to get diagnosed first and then treatment. |

I am pretty positive I have Lupus but out of all the series of tests they have done in the last two years only two tests have shown a marker. My doctor says that is not enough to refer me to a rheumatologist because I don t have the typical symtoms such as the classic butterfly rash. I have many symptoms including sun sensitivity, two different sets of rashes, joint pain, ibs, frequent chest pain in the right side with pain radiating down my back and into my arm, migraines and pain in my joints but no swelling. I am at a loss of what to do. I m miserable and I am so sick of being in constant pain, and my doctor keeps telling me it s all in my head. What do I do now? | Good evening MAM. Well if your test results are constantly negative, you should be happy that it ain't Lupus. The symptoms you are describing can fit into lupus but at the same time can fit into any other condition. If your ANA, DSNA are negative you need not be too worried. I will suggest you read a condition called Fibromyalgia. See if your symptoms fit into the disease, and then it can be managed accordingly. Hope the information was useful |

I ve been going to the chiropractor and he found three ribs out of place and has tried to adjust them but they do not seam to stay in. He also said that my stomic and esophagus were out of place and adjusted them back. But I m still having discomfort in my chest and flemn buildup in the larynx area. Any ideas what it might be? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest discomfort with phlegm (sputum) production is common in chronic bronchitis. So we should rule out bronchitis in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

My niece has been diagnosed bipolar just a month ago. She has attempted suicide twice and been hospitalized 4 times in the past 2 to 3 months. She is also cutting and anorexic . She was on a medicine that has seemed to help and recently wanted to Change it due to gaining 5 pounds. She was given the new medicine and 80 pills to help her sleep better. She quickly declined and called her mother to come to her aid. Her mother was on her way to her apartment (30 minute drive)and she decided to take the rest of her sleeping aid (75) pills because she was so upset with herself about going downhill again. Quickly she realized this was so stupid and she had her roommate rush her to the hospital. She is fine and being released today from the hospital. I feel her parents are going to give her an altmatuim and make her move home.mi have asked what professionals have advised and they say they are making the discussion themselves. I am worried that this will put her in a huge tail spin and send her off the deap end. I have asked them to consider a family intervention with a professional to determine what should be done next. Do you feel a person who is newly diagnosed and not yet stable on medication should be backed in a corner? I feel there is so much going on between the parents and her that they need others to help convince her what should happen next. She is 20 and can refuse all help. I feel there is just a small window of time to convince her, before she shuts everyone out. What do you think? | HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, she has underline depression or borderline personality disorder which may have been misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder, and she needs psychiatrist consultation. She needs proper treatment with antidepressant and with that, her suicidal ideation would decrease. You can also take her of psychologist for cognitive behavioral therapy in her case, that would give additional benefit. Thanks |

my 27 year old son has to walk all the time, things have to be put in certain places because he says they are in his way. If I says the words ok or good-bye he wants me to say alright or later. He also eats certain foods because he does not want to get fat. Would these behaviors be ocd or anxiety? | Hello thanks for asking from ChatDoctorOCD or obsessive compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder. Obsessions are repetitive thoughts, ideas or impulses that are dominating, distressing and occurs in mind persistently. They produce significant distress to individual. In order to prevent the distress individual tries to do some ritualistic behavior that are called as compulsions. The symptoms your son is showing like putting thing in a particular manner can be due to Obsession of Orderliness, which is a common type of obsession, though detailed evaluation is needed to make diagnosis. His habit of asking alright or later when you say words like Ok or Goodbye can also be due to some underlying anxiety. I would advise you to take him to a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment if needed. Thanks, hope this helps you. |
I m in my 28th week and a couple nights ago I felt a sharp (not painful though) sensation that sort of felt like my bladder being squeezed.

Is there a connection; should I call my doctor? As I type this, I can feel the baby moving (I just ate lunch), but the movements aren t as strong as they normally are... | Hello, You are carrying 28 was pregnancy and feeling with less/weak baby movement. Actually baby moves in specific time/situation, and you have to feel it properly. You can assess it by DFMC or Daily Fetal Movement Count which is 10 per hr. If you feel less than 10 moves/hr for 1-2 days or more, you need to consult with your doctor for clinical assessment along with USG lower abdomen for FPP. Take healthy diet, continue Iron/Calcium supplements, avoid stress, sleep properly with left lateral position and do periodic check up. Be well. |
Hi My son has ulcerative colitis and has been on a high dose ofPentasa for about 6 months. A month ago his consultant reduced his dose and since that time he has had left side rib pain, nausea and stomach pains. He says the rib pain is a football injuryI think this is connected with his condition and he should get in touch with his consultant | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Ulcerative colitis is chronic inflammatory disease of intestine. It can affect heart and lungs. So better to rule out heart and lung related diseases first for his symptoms. So get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac diseases. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung pathology. Of all these are normal then no need to worry. His pain is mostly due to football injury. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Give him painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

I had an angioplasty on December 13, 2014. I was told I have Broken Heart Syndrome. Two days after the angioplasty( they put a plug that was suppose to melt in about two weeks ) I came home from the hospital. That night I got a severe cramp in my right thigh, last about 4 minutes. My entire right thigh turned black from brusing. Ever since I have severe pain in my right groin area, severe pain in my right hip that goes down my right leg to my knee then goes down the side of my right leg into my ankle and foot. It is severe, sometimes I can t even walk. I told my doctor; his response was I m a heart doctor, only deal with the heart and seek help with another doctor. I have, but no answers. My brother and sister both have had this procedure but they needed stints however they never experienced my type of pain ever. They are fine. They both had the plug in their leg but never had any pain as I do. I have gone to 4 other doctors only to suggest I take tramadol for pain. In other other words they have no answers. Can you advise me as to what I can do. This has become a very disabling pain on a daily basis. | The keg artery is used to assess the heart artery to do angiography and angioplasty. Post procedure the sheath is removed and either a plug to seal of the artery or the manual pressure is used to close to would. Many a time there might be small leak if the plug doesn't stay properly or manual pressure was not adequate. In a rare patient this may lead to a small blood clot or pseudo aneurysm of that artery, which may give rise to symptoms you described. Its it's not increasing in size, its managed conservatively with as you say tramadol, and I will add local tomophobe ointment plus plain ice. For the pain. However, a local femoral artery Doppler to rule out any injury is advised. Your cardiology would surely know about this as it's a very common complications of angioplasty. Regards Chat Doctor. |
Hello,i worked TMT test by Bruce protocol. results are | Don't worry about your English, the information that you provided is quite complete. Ill break down your question into some key components.1. A 28-year-old with physical limitation unusual for him. The probability of coronary heart disease is low but not zero and the treadmill provides useful information. It lets you know that his limitation is not severe and risk of near term death is not high affording time for deliberation, elective evaluation and choices in the next step for arriving at a diagnosis.2. The ECG is abnormal in D3 (frontal plane lead III) with exercise but rapidly returns to normal. This is frequently a false positive finding and does not automatically indicate arterial disease.3. The treating physicians are sufficiently suspicious to recommend invasive testing. Oddly, one of the most difficult things to test in medicine but also one of the most important, is the physicians' suspicion after interview and examination. Therefore, the recommendation to look for additional information should be followed. The options that should be discussed with the treating doctor (to be sure that he or she has the information needed to make good decisions) are 1. Additional physiological testing performed with imaging methods such as nuclear imaging or echocardiography. 2. Non-invasive angiography using CT scanning. |

Hi, my boyfriend is has this recurring rashes in his chest , neck , nape , arms. He went to a doctor once and they ran tests on him they said it is an allergy . They just prescribed him celestamine. He also used momate one time. According to him momate was effective. But momate was not really prescribed to him. I forgot the name of the other cream.. But he said it did not work as fast and as good as the momate cream. His allergy seems to be triggered by the cold climate. What should we do. He is now suffering from it again. He was not able to get a lot of sleep because of it. He said it is very very itchy. | From you description it appears a case of urticaria which is usually because of allergy. He should take an antiallergen like cetirizine or Allegra for 4 to 6 weeks and apply a soothing cream like calamine lotion. He should also deform himself with mental 400- 1 tab at night for 2 to 3 days. If the allergy is very troublesome, he may take a short course of steroids orally-something like omnacortil 20 MGM once a day for 5 days, or he may go in for allergy testing. |

TIFFA is targeted imaging for fetal anomalies, and it is a detailed ultrasound in which the congenital anomalies in the fetus are ruled out. It should be done in all pregnancies at 18-22 weeks of gestation. It can tell the gender of the fetus, but whether it can be revealed to you or not, depends on the rules of your country. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor. |
Hey I am a 16 year old female who weights about 133 and is 5 5. I have been having right side pain and my doctor told me i had gallbladder polyps, and thickening wall | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. A HIDE scan is an imaging procedure that helps track the production and flow of bile from your liver to your small intestine. You must have been advised this to see if there is any obstruction to the bile flow due to the polyps. However, the decision for surgery will depend on the severity of the symptoms and how much of dysfunction they are causing you. So, please discuss this in detail with your doctor and make an informed decision. Best wishes, |
My daughter has a sever dry patch of skin on the back of her neck and on the inside of of her elbows. She has had this before and it is always after we have been to a swimming pool in a hotel. None of the rest of the family had any reaction to the pool either time though | Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but It's difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination. From the description, fungal infection seems very likely. Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way. You can reach me directly through the below-mentioned link.http |

Carl. | Hello Carl, Welcome at Chat Doctor. Your details show that you are having dark urine with increase blood count in it, with frequent back pain & others.

I am suffering extreme hayfever symptoms, runny nose sneezing etc. I started getting small lumps under the skin on and around my chin, culminating today with a large walnut size lump on my temple. They do not itch. Whilst I have had hayfever for many years, never lumps!Thanks Jan Moon | HI. This means now you have a severe symptom and this indicates the need for an additional steroid. Newer Steroid in the form of deflazacort are better, safer, cause less side effects, and you can take short courses of say a fw day to a few weeks in reducing doses. This is important as the lumps are indicative of the pending complication like angio-edema, which is dangerous if it occurs in mouth, tongue and such places. Consult a Doctor fast to get a prescription and the first shot ASAP |
hi, im a 27 year old white male ,i have been experiencing blood in my semin(hematospermia) for the last 3 or so months.The first time i noticed it i refrained from masturbation for a month and it dissapeared! a while later it returned and has not dissapeard again! My right testis is a bit sore as i bumped it a while ago.I am convinced that the injury to my groin area caused the hematospermia.Should i be worried and what can i do to rectify the problem? | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Blood in the semen is called hematospermia or Hesperia. Seeing blood in the semen can make a man anxious. Fortunately, it doesn't always signal a major medical problem. For men younger than 40 with no related symptoms and no risk factors for underlying medical conditions, blood in semen often disappears on its own. Blood in the semen can come from several sources like infection, inflammation, prostrate problems, STDs, trauma of a medical procedure etc. As you mentioned, Physical trauma to the sex organs after pelvic fracture, injury to the testicles, excessively rigorous sexual activity or masturbation, or other injury can cause blood in the semen. I suggest you not to ignore the symptoms and consult a urologist for evaluation and treatment, if necessary. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http |

My dad has been having chest pains. He just went to the doctor and the EKG, blood work and stress test was all ok. They have him scheduled Monday for a gallbladder scan. Is this a normal procedure? He has worked hard the past 2 days cleaning out his garage... could he have done something else? What do you recommend that we do to ensure proper care? | HelloYour doctor has rightly advised for ultrasound of abdomen(to scan gall bladder etc.). Many conditions like gall bladder calculus may cause chest pain. Since all investigations related to chest are normal, it is important to investigate abdomen. Abdominal pathology like problem in liver, gall balder, pancreas,spleen etc. may cause chest pain, so ultrasound of abdomen is important. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |
Hi I just found a very friendly and playful stray dog. We were playing in the back yard she was trying to jump up and lick my face. I put my hand out to stop her and my thump went into her mouth striking a tooth just broke the skin, very little blood. Should I be worried. I squeezed it to try to get to bleed and then soaked it in proxide. | Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggesting you can wait for a period of 10 days to check, if dog disappears than you have to undergo vaccination. Alternatively you can directly opt for vaccination and all the primary care. In my advice you should go for vaccination for rabies as well as tetanus and antibiotics to prevent wound infection. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you. |

Do cool water rinses Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Hi! I am 53 years old5 3 , weigh 246 pd. and I have thyroid problems (hypo) and high blood presure, sleep apnea, is it alright for me to use ChatDoctor drops, I know I can t do the 500 calories,, Itried but felt too tired,I ll eat the right foods and exercise ,which I walk 30 min. on tredmill,,Please help me ! Thank you | You are in a difficult place and doing the right thing. Your attempts to diet and lose weight will pay off. It is hard, slow and incredibly rewarding. Be sure that you get good treatment for sleep apnea first. With respect to supplementing with medicine, the answer is not simple. If you are considering that route, get help through a recognized weight loss program (not one that tries to funnel you to a surgery). Medicines to help weight loss may help in the short term but cause problems later. Your decision to use them should come after a discussion with a physician and dietician. |

I have a 14 year old girl that has a occasional fast heart beat. It suddenly starts and stops. Took her to ER, they ran EKG, xray and blood work said everything is normal. Now she has chest pains in the middle of her chest with some tightness. What is going on? | Hi, Increased heart rate and palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation and tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo and thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thanks, |
My son has been getting a rash periodically when we take him to the doctor with it they think it is viral. But he keeps getting them. I just cant see a virus lasting for years off and on. It doesnt flake, puss, or create any pimples. It is only on his face and it will spread all over his face. What could this be | Hi and welcome to ChatDoctorGiven that the rash is periodic, it is more in favor of an allergy. It could be atomic dermatitis, basically allergic causing rashes over the face, in the creases and also other body folds. Did he have similar complaints from a very young age? It could be an allergy which increases with weather changes, dust, exposure to sun, certain plants, animals etc. Also, certain foods like nuts, seafood, processed foods, etc. You will need to keep a track of when exactly the rashes come up and if there is a common cause each time. Allergies generally reduce as the child grows, but repeated exposure to the cause can make it recur often. Use a mild sunscreen when outside. When rashes appear, apply a demonize cream on the face for 5- 7 days till rash subsides, no longer. Use an antihistamine like HY Chat Doctor. To confirm you can consult a dermatologist and run tests to check allergy levels in blood, also skin tests for possible causes. Hope this helps. |
I had vertigo this morning for the first time. I felt like everything in front of me was spinning to my right. Then half hour later my voice was echoing inside my head when i was talking. Only lasted a few seconds. I feel kind of dizzy and sick to my stomach. What could cause this | Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). So, kindly consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions like getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care. |
I have been treated for PTSD and TBI but I think my Dr confuses these two issues. I got an anti anx medication and face to face cognitive restructuring program, and even vet center counseling, yet its seems as if it took so long to get the right assistance I solved some of my problems myself empirically. I got sleep via medication, understanding of my situation by counseling, and lately restructuring. Yet, even thought I have come a long way from near madness to continue to have anx events that during the day can vary from manageable, to mild, or the extremes events. From which the extreme events are the ones that continue to give me a hard time. How do you recommend dealing with extreme events, since the other ones are under control by the mentioned treatment. | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I would like to know that type of Chat Doctor. There are many types of antidepressants, which can help improve your situation. Increasing the dose may be helpful! I would also recommend trying Yoga and meditation. Meditation can help improve your situation during those episodes. Xanax can help occasionally during the episodes. But it should not be used regularly for a long time, as it can cause addiction. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, |
I am having an allergic reaction to sunblock that I used. Everywhere I put it on I am broke out in small bumps. I read where the sun interacting with the sunblock might have caused it and I feel like that is what happened because I put some on my stomach 2 days ago and it is not broke out. My question is how do I get rid of this rash , I have had it for 3 days now and have taken Benadry with no luck. I am trying to get an appointment for today but would like to know what to expect when I get there. | Hello, Thanks for the query, You have developed an allergic reaction to it, Apply a mild steroid lotion like demonize, Also take an antihistamine tablet. This will give you some relief. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https |

I had a root canal last week. I realised that a portion of my soft paplate had swollen and was very painful...one week later after antibioticsm the swelling has gone down, and notice some pus. Is this normal and when and how will the pus drian away. It ispainless now. | Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you have mentioned that you got root canal treatment done, and now you are observing pus in the same region, it means that the root canal has not been done properly, or the adjacent tooth is also infected. As root canal treatment means the infection will be healed and no pus discharge will be there if still pus discharge is there it means a re treatment should be done of the tooth to relieve the infection. You should visit your dentist again and get it treated. Hope it will help you. |
My pain doc just prescribed a pain med to replace Opana and it begins with an L and I can t for the life of me remember the name. He said it was an old medicine been around for over 30 years and just came back on market like 6-8 months ago. It will be shipped from manufacturer and I can t remember name I wanted to research its safety. Thank you | Hello, PORTAL is a narcotic beginning with L. It does not come at super high doses but has all the usual warning of addiction and dependence like any narcotic.

Hi, I m 15 years old and throughout pretty much my entire life I have had a bunch of stomach aches that sometimes result in puking. I could not go to sleep tonight because my stomach felt very shaky and unsettled So I sat up and read for a while. After I started to feel better, I decided to lie down. But as soo as I did, the stomach ache came right back. Later on, I tried laying down again and did for about 8 minutes. Then my legs started to shake, like I was really cold, and I had some abdominal discomfort and bloating. It won t go away and I m very shaky and occasionally I get a dizzy feeling. Also, on top of all that, I have had seizures throughout my entire life. The strange part is I have only had 6. They are usually a year or two apart, but sometimes closer and sometimes farther apart. I have recently become vegan because me and my parents think that a lot of my stomach issues could be from dairy. I have also gone gluten free for the same reason. But here I am with another stomach ache. The first week of being vegan was good. I felt better, because lately I had been having stomach aches after every meal. But in the past five days, I have had a stomach ace about 4 or 5 times, sometimes with the dizzy shaky feeling. As you can see, it s quite upsetting to me that no matter how I change my diet, it doesn t seem to be helping in the slightest.. I also have frequent muscle twitches, that don t hurt.. I Just hope I can get to the bottom of this as soon as possible so I can start feeling good again | Hi, Yours is a complex story and needs many more sessions for over next 3 myths time to fix and resolve the issue. Adv-1-Be on the liquid veg diet-with organic vegies-that is- without any chemical fertilizers,2-Reduce the solids in diet,3-Limit to bland -non-spicy diet,3-Tb-cyclopam-SOS, 4-Cap-Lactovita-1 cap 3 times a day-with each of the liquid feed.5-Banana shakes / rice kanji-soup/ main diet supplements.6-Wkly follow-up with many more detailed queries .7-Mail your reports if any ....tanks.

I have a pyogenic granuloma on my gum its been there for about 3 years now. I have had 2 of them before with my pregnancies. They are told to be pregnancy tumors. But with this third one i had done had my tubes tied. But anyways here a few days ago, its gotten really irritated and has gotten really loose and swollen and yucky looking. I dont have dental insurance nor do I have any money to get it removed but this is got my whole mouth sore to where I cant eat. On top of all that I have gotten 2 fever blisters on my lip. And my top and bottom gums are really red and they are hurting really bad. What should I do? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. As far as the myogenic granuloma is concerned, it occurs commonly during pregnancy, but it can also occur secondary to deposits or any irritation. Regarding the blisters on the lip and reddish gums, it is because of the herpes virus infection resulting in herpetic gingivostomatitis. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested surgical removal of the myogenic granuloma, but it has a recurrence rate of 2-3%. For the herpes virus infection, it is a self limiting infection, but you have to get your teeth cleaned once. Regarding your financial problem, you can get it treated in an educational institute, where they do the treatment under nominal price. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

My daughter has an infection in her mouth that has caused a mass that extends out of her cheek, it is red in color and is aproximately the size of a quarter. She does have a broken tooth that appears to have an abcess and will need extraction. However, our dental insurance will only pay for the extraction and our medical insurance won t pay for the out of network medical procedures. We cannot afford the cost. Is this something I can take her to the emergency room for and should I? | With your query, it would have been better you had mentioned your daughters age. I think your daughter had a periapical abscess since you have mentioned she is having a decay tooth. It would be better if you visit your dentist to decide the treatment since it can be either restored or extracted only by clinical examination one can decide. Mentioned swelling is definitely an infection for which antibiotics are mandatory along with anti-inflammatory otherwise it may lead to severe infection sometimes leading to septicemia. Kindly visit your dentist or periodontist. |

Earlier today I passed out when I stood up. My girlfriend said that I kept shaking with my eyes open. I regained consciousness after a few seconds, all that I remember happening were bright lights and a sense of euphoria. Ive always had an issue with passing out when standing up but have never been able to recall shaking or keeping my eyes open during. I was also recently in a car accident in which I hit my head when the car flipped a few times which blew my ear drum. And Ive also had major back issues since. I was wondering if the shaking and passing out might have something to do with the car accident.My medical history is fairly clean except mental illness. | His understand your concern. I guess shaking, loss of consciousness are the symptoms of neurological deficit rather than mental illness. May it is due to seizure episode most probably generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Need to evaluate by EEG.EEG means electroencephalogram. Please consult neurologist for further help. There are many medicines to control this type of episodes and usually given after head injury if do you have in car accident. I hope I have helped you and still have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. Happy to help you. |
