So please advice doctor | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. In my opinion she needs to take a home pregnancy test for this to rule out pregnancy. If it gets ruled out as she is weak there might be a lot of stress and that is the reason of not getting periods and give her iron pills so that she may get periods. If still she didn't get her periods then she needs to have an ultrasonography abdomen to rule out organic causes. Thank you. |

hi, my eight year old son has stomach ache. he says that he feels like he has been punched in his stomach. he vomited, and his food looks like it hasn t been digested. It happens regularly as soon as he eats ice cream or any kind of fast food. I keep him on soups but once in a while he gets something different that causes this condition. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for putting up your query at Chat Doctor. Your 8-year-old son might be having gastritis. If I had a patient like him, I would give him Landon Junior 1 tablet to be taken in the morning in empty stomach for one and a half months. I would also ask him to exercise and play regularly as that increases the movement of our bowels which would ease the situation. I would have also asked him to take Isabel husk regularly at night at fiber rich food improves gut motility and thereby eases digestion. Avoid fast foods and fat rich food. No need to keep him on soups. You can give him normal food containing fewer spices, oil or chili. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert with further queries if any. |

I suggest you see your pediatrician and get a rapid streptococcal antigen test done. If it is positive then she will require antibiotics. If it is negative then it might be viral illness and doesn't require antibiotics at all. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards - |

It is a condition in which the liver is damaged, and the liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue. Though in your case it is due to alcoholism, tests for Hepatitis B and C should be done as these are the other common causes. This condition can lead to complications like blood vomiting, black stools, fluid collection in the abdomen called ascites (which you already have developed), leg swelling, altered sleep pattern due to involvement of the brain, kidney failure and infection of the fluid collected inside your abdomen. Hence, you need to be under constant follow up with gastroenterologist/hepatologist. Few tests need to do which include the following -1. HBsAg2. Anti HCV3. Ascetic fluid analysis4. PT/INR5.

Your blood sugar is within the normal range, while triglycerides are almost twice higher than the upper normal border (50 - 150 mg/DL).

You should eat a low fat meal the night before the test. Restrict food and fluid intake after midnight the night before the test. Repeat the test respecting the rules above-mentioned. If the result is still high, then you should see an endocrinologist, in way to begin a treatment with vibrates. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications.

Read your query. Yes, if you go for extraction of the tooth, the opposite tooth will lose its opposite forces and tend to move down, unless you get missing tooth after removal replaced. It may fall out gradually. I would advise you to get the tooth root canal treated if it can be saved, as that is better than extraction of the tooth. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards. |

My friends father got an injection of tpa and now has bleeding into his brain and is on life support, he also has a fever and high blood pressure. What does this mean? Will he ever recover? Does it take time for the effects to go away? Is it too late for him from having blood in his brain and from maintaining a high temp of 105 which has decreased to 102? Is there anything at all that can counteract tpa or generally be done to help bring him back? He has been on life support for 5 days. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Tissue pepsinogen activator (TPA) is used for treating acute brain stroke (lack of blood flow to brain) and is generally safe and effective. However, in about 5% of cases, bleeding does occur. If the bleeding in the brain is large, a surgery can be done to remove it. Fever is most likely due to unrelated causes such as lung infection. This can be treated with antibiotics. The ultimate recovery depends on the damage caused to brain due to his initial brain stroke as well as bleeding in the brain. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Hey, I just need help and advice on an obsession of the way I look. Im 19 Years old, unemployed and Iv had a baby last January, after having my baby I got postnatal depression so I had anti-depressants and im still on them now, I don t think its the postnatal depression any more. Its how I look what s depressing me, I hate my teeth... Desperately would like to have braces or veneers. Its getting to me that much im very underweight, I wont go to family gatherings, Wont go out in public places, If I do see people I know and they make me smile, I will hide my teeth with my hand. I just cant cope.. I wont even go to the doctors because I know they will just turn me away. All I want is my top teeth straightened. I had braces when I was 17 and then I had the invisible brace but I got pregnant and at 25 weeks I lost my baby so I wasn t thinking of putting my invisible brace in so that s why my teeth have kind of moved back. Im so self conscious of the way I look. Even my dad is trying to get me to the doctors because he thinks I have a problem. Iv even thought of getting a loan out to pay for them but I don t think they will let me as I don t work. Is there anyway you could help me please. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The best way to overcome the cosmetic obsession is to be aware about yourself. You are no more than a mere human being. As you know, your body cannot be attractive all the time. When you age, your body shrinks, and you lose your current looks. You are what you are. Every person has his own cosmetic problem. But just 5% worries and of those 5%, 99% understands the facts and ignores. You also should learn to ignore. Just ignore it. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in thisXXXXXXXX. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

Hello, im a 19 year old girl, and my boyfriend and i were fooling around with no clothes on when he cummed on my butt not in it , i have no idea whether the cum slipped to my vagina or not, however im still a virgin and never had intercourse,we were dry humping,meaning his penis was rubbing against my thing! Any chances for me becoming pregnant? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there is rarely any chance of pregnancy. Usually there is scope for pregnancy when semen is ejaculated inside the vagina during the fertile period or unsafe period. Ejaculation around the vagina leading to pregnancy is a very rare possibility. So ejaculation on buttocks and it's coming in contact with vagina is a rare possibility. And just touching of genitals also doesn't result in pregnancy. So relax as the intercourse was not done and not ejaculated inside the vagina. So relax. Avoid stress. The first sign of pregnancy is missed period. Wait and check for the period. But anyway the pregnancy chances are very, very rare. Hope this helps. Best regards... |
hi, about 10 years ago i fell off a horse and shocked my lower back and hips. i was unable to move for a few hours and it took about a week for me to be able to walk properly.

If report shoes arthritis need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon nearby you and get yourself examined. If report is normal start physiotherapy with hip range of motion exercises from physiotherapist. All the best. |

Hi. When I have a cold and cough hard, I sometimes get a painful stinging, prickly sensation in the lungs (i think), which radiates all across my back. A couple of days ago, I swallowed down the "wrong tube" and coughed hard, and that happened again. This time it was very painful and the cough was so hard that pain radiated down my arms to my hands. The pain goes away quickly but leaves me sort of beaten up. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, From history it seems that due to swallowed down in the wrong tube might have given strenuous hard cough bout leading to stretching and strain of intercostal muscles giving this problemNothing to worry, gradually it will be alright within 2-3 days.Meanwhile, you can take some analgesic, muscle relaxant medicine as needed. Take cough suppressant syrup to get symptomatic relief from cough.) Ok and take care. |
allergy symptoms started monday and has progressed to extreme coughing with green mucus. ENT doc gave me prednisone and musonix cough suppressent/expectorant. I have been up ALL night wtih the worst coughing of my life. What else can i do. He would not give me an antibiotic. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should definitely rule out lung infection (pneumonia) in your case because you are having excessive coughing with green mucus expectoration. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is showing pneumonia then you should definitely start higher antibiotics like amoxicillin clavulinic acid or levofloxacin. Chat Doctor. |
Hi there, i am on medication to manage my bipolar disorder. I keep getting a strange sensation, like creepy crawlys in my head, accompanied by goose bumps throughout my body. I was wondering if this has anything to do with too much seratonin in my brain caused by the various phsyciatric meds that i take. Thanks | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, I am not sure which exact medications you are on at present. The medications commonly used for Bipolar disorder are not known to cause creepy crawlies or goose bump sensations. Also, antidepressants such as SSRIs (e.g.: fluoxetine) are not usually prescribed to those with Bipolar disorder. These are the ones that increase serotonin in your brain. In those patients where a SSRI is used, a mood stabilizer medication is also added. None of the mood stabilizer medications have been reported to cause these symptoms. If I was your treating physician, I would go through all the medications you are currently on to achieve more clarity whether this is a medication side effect. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care |

I had blackout on MDMA and alcohol. Can t remember anything after getting kicked out of club but girlfriend said i acted like kid n got home safely - amazing but scary. Was it too much alcohol? I probable had 7-8 drinks in 5 hours before dropping mdma | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Blackouts can happen due to high levels of alcohol in your system. Since you also had MDMA therefore the action of alcohol is more potentiated, and you might have had certain brain dysregulation and then alcohol switches off some cognitive functions in the brain. These symptoms are more in some people, and you should be careful the next time you are Chat Doctor.

The person can no longer remember things happening around and is unaware and disoriented. This is what happened to you. When alcohol levels in blood decreases, the encoding areas start functioning again and the patient comes back to normal. However, there is no memory for past events that happened soon after |

I stop taking the pill for 2 days to figure out what is causing the problem but i was still seeing the dark liqiud appearing i took back the pills in other same way and it is still that way.. So please i am urgently seeking a reply from you i am so very concern about this situation and thank you in responce.. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Minigynon pills are an effective birth control method. It has both female hormones (estrogen + progesterone). From the way you have described, it appears that you started the pills in the right way - from the first day of the period. The period that one gets after starting pills is not the same that one gets when not using it. The dark colored blood could have been old blood which took time to come out of your body. This should not change the way you take pills. You have to take it continuously as instructed. Stopping in between interferes with the blood levels of the hormone in body. It can produce irregular bleed. It can also lead to failure of method and pregnancy can occur. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Hi, I am 34 yrs old and trying to conceive for 3 yrs now but with no luck. I have undergone all tests before proceeding to IUI treatment and all seems fine with me and hubby. I have regular periods and both tubes are open. I have done IUI 3 times but not successful. The doctor told me to undergo laparoscopic operation this time to investigate further but I am so scared to undergo this laparoscopy operation. Doctor here also said that after laparoscopy operation and everything is fine, i must go back to IUI again but with FSH drugs for 3 cycle and if its not going to work, will proceed to IVF . What s wrong with me? and I don t understand why to go for laparoscopy or back to IUI when it already didn t work for 3 times. and why not directly go to IVF procedure? Is laparoscopy operation really necessary? I am very afraid to take the risks of this kind of operation | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor As per your history you are suffering from unexplained infertility. As you are already 34 yrs (with increasing age and time to conception fertility further reduces) and have been trying for 3 yrs, you need to be thoroughly evaluated by doing a laparoscopy+ hysteroscopy. Why Laparoscopy?? Sometimes few patients may have minimal endometriosis or mild adhesions which may affect the function of tubes and leads to infertility. By doing laparoscopy adverse factors if any can be ruled out or treated. Also tubes can be evaluated under direct vision Hysteroscopy is the procedure where inside uterine cavity is viewed using a camera and if any pathology found can be treated at the same time. Laparoscopy is a day care procedure where you can go same day or next day morning. Don't get scared. As your doctor already said you can try GUI after laparoscopy because immediately after surgery there is good chance of conception. If 3 Luis fail after laparoscopy you can go ahead with IVF. IVF can be done directly, but you need to undergo hysteroscopy before IVF for the reasons explained above. Trust your doctor. All the best |

Hi doctor,I am 24 years old. I am suffering from a neurological disease and due to this I am getting weak day by day. My toes are gone almost numb since last two years and the same things are now happening with the upper limbs. I had this disease from childhood, but in a progressive state. So, with time my health degraded constantly. It started affecting my lower limbs. Now, I cannot even walk or stand properly. Now, it started affecting my upper limb as well. I cannot lift heavy objects due to weakness in grip and cannot do any manipulation by fingers quickly such as typing, writing, etc. I have been treated in various hospitals since my childhood. Currently, it was predicted as vasculitis neuropathy and getting treatment accordingly. I have gone through various treatments till now, but unfortunately nothing worked. Now, my doctor suggested me an injection called Rituximab, which can possibly stop the growth of this disease. The two dosages of this injection are quite expensive and due to this we are worried that how much safer is this injection to me. Hence, I thought that I should take an opinion from you before taking this injection. Could you please suggest me your opinion by looking at my attached reports, Is there any possibility to cure this rare disease or at least to stop the growth of this disease? Should I go for this Rituximab injection? I know, it would be a challenging task, but please spend some time and share your thoughts. I have attached my reports, prescription and life history from childhood. Any suggestions would be really helpful to save my life. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. I am here to help you. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you for your excellent narration and detailed documentation of the prescriptions and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), which has enabled me to have a good understanding. |
2 months ago i had an elevated d dimer of 6.3. it was redone not even 2 months later and it was 7.3. i now had neck pain, night sweats and bad headaches. i have a very low blood pressure of about 92 over 63. that drops even lower. i am really worried about this d dimer test. pls help | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. High D-dimer levels signifies increased fibrinolysis.2. Malignancy needs to be evaluated, as along with increased d-dimer levels, night sweats also signifies malignancy. Autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis also require evaluation.3. X-ray of neck and CT scan of brain could be helpful.4. Take more fluids to improve blood pressure. Avoid sudden change in position as postural hypotension additionally can increase risk of fall. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Pls explain in simple english and what are are chances of conception?.she is 39yrs. Thank you. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi thanks for your question.HSG that is Mystery salpingogram report of you wife is analyzed as under:The cervical that is the lowermost part of uterus is irregular and has filling defects means she had cervices that is inflammation of cervix in the past which might have resulted some amount of scaring leading to irregularity and filling defects. Uterine cavity is spacious means size of uterine cavity is slightly increased than the normal. Irregular contour again means that he wall of uterine cavity is not smooth as in case of normal uterus. This again could be due to infection or endometriosis. Both fallopian tubes are visualized means both tubes are patent and spill of dye into peritoneal cavity means there is no block in either tubes, which is a good sign. Well since the both tubes are patent cervical canal is also patent, chances of pregnancy are there, (How much difficult to predict)if all other factors are normal like ovulation and husband semen analysis. Hope this answers your question. |

I have increase of cortical echoes according to my reportThis is likely to be vascular in aetiology unilateral Excess fluid in the bowe which is overlying the kidney Can u please let me know what to do As I am having pain everyday after eating anythingThanks | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, The increased fluid in the bowels is because proper bowel preparation was not done before sonography. I mean they didn't give you any laxative to clear the bowel. Its normal finding. The increased cortical echo texture of kidneys per se may suggest some kidney injury. Bilateral renal artery Doppler (one kidney which has increased echo texture may have some blockage in flow) and S. Creatinine and maybe comprehensive kidney function test should be considered. However, I would like to point out that none of the above may cause pain post meals. A plain antacid like cesium 40 mg once a day in morning before breakfast should be taken for 6 weeks. Antibiotic metronidazole can be taken for 5 days if you are in India / Africa. Let me know if any further clarification is needed. Regards Chat Doctor. |

As you show more concentration in your activities, you will do them better. Eat a healthy diet. Wish you good health. |

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. Regards - |
Hi, I have experiencing toothache in my lower right side molar and at the same time a headache, sometimes twice a day. The dentist told me there is nothing wrong in the area after taking X Rays and has provided me with a tooth guard at the same time, But the pain continues. I wonder if this have to do with a brain nerve or heart disease?? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. You have to consult an oral physician and get yourself examined thoroughly to rule out the cause of pain. The pain in the tooth could be because of the decay or the surrounding gum infection or impacted tooth. The headache could be radiating pain from temporomandibular joint disorder or from impacted tooth. Please take a second opinion from oral physician and take radiograph like OPG. I hope my answer will help you. Take care. |
I m a 21 yr old young woman and I have bronchitis, my doctor said. Each time I get cold or fever, I have symptoms like temperature rise, running nose, throat pain etc. These symptoms reduce and are eventually cured. But when cough starts, it doesn t reduce as fast as the other symptoms. If antibiotics are not used, then the cough can last upto a month or so before its completely gone. Doctor says I have bronchitis which is causing this. When I told him about my problem, he prescribed glemont F for three weeks. Is that the solution for my problem? What can I do to prevent this kind of long lasting cough again? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you should 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. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines. Lemont is oral bronchodilators and having side effects so better to start inhaled bronchodilators. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. |

He gave me cream it hasnt touched it | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear, welcome on Chat Doctor, Rashes may also be associated with skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis and impetigo. The elbow is a common location for psoriasis eruptions, which cause scaly white spots and inflammation. Some chronic skin conditions may flare up for a time, then resolve. Other causes of rash include autoimmune disorders that occur when the body is attacked by its own immune system, which normally serves to protect it from foreign invaders (antigens) and can be treated with medications, including over the counter creams and ointments containing the steroid HY Chat Doctor. . |

Thanks for your query. I understand that you have been facing a lot of difficulties regarding your memory and learning. It is very difficult to pinpoint a diagnosis without a detailed evaluation. But with the brief history of your symptoms, it is possible that you could be having a learning disability.

Further management needs to be planned according to the diagnosis, and the nature and severity of your problems. Wish you all the best. |

I m very concerned but I wanted to see if I could out answers first before taking the next step. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptom. As cardiac issue can present with problem, below typhoid process. So get done ECG to rule out this. If ECG is normal than no need to worry much. This can be due to gaseous distention of stomach. So try to follow these steps. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed. 7. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.8. Lose weight if you are obese. |
Hi doctor,I have acne scars. What are the treatments followed to make the acne scars go away? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.

It can be treated with TCA CROSS (Trichloro Acetic Acid chemical reconstruction of skin scars) procedure. Rolling scar needs subcision (minor surgical procedure) and fractional Co2 laser. Hypertrophic scar requires treatment using an intralesional injection of Triamcinolone acetonide to flatten it. Please attach your clinical picture soon so that I can guide you further. |

Female 34 year old, 176-180 lbs, fibroid tumors, chronic sinusitis. 2 prior surgeries to remove nasal pollups. Third most recent surgery x 2 weeks ago to remove nasal pollups. Surgery went well, seeming normal recovery. However, developed two blood clots in r leg ( below the kne in calf area.) Blood clots were discovered a week following surgery. Immediatly started on Lovenox. 24 hours after beginning lovenox tx, exhibited siezure like symptoms, inclusing headache, aura, muscle spasm and slurred speech. Admitted to hospital, all ct scans and blood work were negative. Seizure symptoms decreased significantly following the 18 hours after the initial seizure/hospital admission. Seizures returned after about 5 hours later. Hospital did not discharge as the seizure persisted continously. Is there possibility that the seizures are side effect of surgery to remove sinus pollups? Speculated that it could be side effect of Levenox because she does not have bleeding in brain. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, There is an increased risk of seizures following anesthesia, but typically the individuals already has a risk of having seizures if they occur. It is highly unlikely that Lovenox would cause seizures, unless as you said there was bleeding into the brain, but that could be seen with a CT scan or MRI. The symptoms you describe, although they can be seen in seizures, don't particularly strike me as such. A typical seizure involves convulsions with loss of consciousness. The period after seizures however can present as you described. There are more focal seizures that again can show up as you describe. Continuous seizures would cause significant harm, most likely loss of consciousness as they often spread to involve the whole brain. In any case, an EEG should have been done on you to evaluate for true seizure activity, and if you haven't had one done, you definitely should. The description of the symptoms could easily be due to a migraine as some types of migraines can actually result in neurological symptoms with confusion, slurred speech, weakness, vision loss, and numbness/tingling. I feel that this would be more likely, unless an EEG was done, and it showed true seizure activity. Surgeries can cause stress on the body which can result in both headaches and seizures. I don't think it is Lovenox would cause either unless as you note there was bleeding in the brain. If an EEG was done and there is seizure activity, then she should be started on a seizure medication such as Kendra 750 mg by mouth twice a day. If this is the case, then she has likely had a propensity for seizures, which was simply unmasked by the surgery. None them less an MRI with and without contrast with an epilepsy protocol (thin T2 cuts through the temporal lobes) should be obtained to evaluate for any lesions in the brain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Iam 56 yrs.old working lady and my height is 5 3 . From the last six month, i am having severe pain in left knee. I have got x-ray of both knee, in left knee gap is seen thin as compared to right knee while walking or standing i am receiving severe pain in my left knee.pls. advise. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Taking your age in consideration and considering your x-ray picture described by you, I am of opinion that you are suffering from osteoarthritis.It's an age related condition and tends to worsen with activities. Treatment for this condition is both non-operative and operative. Usually people are managed non operative by exercise to strengthen muscles around knee, lifestyle modifications like not to sit cross-legged and abolishing or modifying activities which cause stress in knee joint, Use of walking aids like walking stick and adequate pain relief.However, if nonoperative treatment fails and pain is so severe that affect patients life activities very much we advise surgery In my opinion please visit orthopedic surgeon so that he can assess you clinically, radiologically and provide appropriate treatment considering severity of your illness. |

Hello doctor,I am a 32-year-old woman. My latest pelvic IRM imaging showed that I have a 4 cm subserosal fibroid that is undergoing myxoid necrobiosis. My question is: Does this type of fibroid need to be removed? If yes, does the surgery have any risks for the uterine? Is it fine to get pregnant while having this fibroid? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Fibroid in pregnancy may be increased in size and can hamper baby growth by occupying space. Subserosal fibroid does not affect conception but in your case, it is undergoing degeneration. This is a problematic part. Red degeneration is a fibroid degeneration in pregnancy which causes severe abdominal pain throughout pregnancy and surgery cannot be done. So I would suggest getting it removed. Subserosal fibroid removal has generally no effect on the uterus. But if it is deeply situated then uterus wall may become weak. |
Thank you for doing this. My sister aged 47 has been having seizures for the past 5 months. She was being treated for rheumatoid arthritis. In the last 4 years she has been on different meds, latest being mexatreate. Her seizures are frequent sometimes 3 daily. She can feel them coming on and is conscious during them. Some last 5 minutes while others may last 20 minutes. She has had an EEG and MRI. Both have showed nothing. She has recently started to urinate and has no sensation till she feels it on her leg. She has seen a neurologist. I am so concerned. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Rhonda | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. It is unclear what do you mean by seizure, does she have shaking of the limbs, abnormal sensations etc.? At times what you may consider to be a seizure the doctors may consider to be a different phenomenon. If your doctors agree it is a question of seizures then even if EEG and MRI are normal she should start treatment as epilepsy is first and foremost a clinical diagnosis, it's not made by tests. There are many treatments for seizures like Valerie acid, Aborigine, levetiracetam, carbamazepine etc., the choice depends on seizure symptoms and should be discussed with the following neurologist. I hope things will work out for the best. |

Good After noon. I am having a problem and my GP isn t really listening to what I am trying to explain and I am now getting very stressed about it. I have 3 different kinds of contraception previously. At age 16, i took the tablets for about 6 months, in 2007 for 1 year I had the quarterly injections and from July 2011 to sept 2012 I had the implant.

I have even informed them that on one occasion I was informed that I should have a TV Ultra sound , however it has fallen on deaf ears. Both my partner and I are getting stressed about this and not having an answer to any checks done to determine what my problem is. Could please you advise?? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | First don't worry and relax, get a TVS ultrasound as was advices to you or get a whole abdomen sonography done.

With the sonography and a simple urine test to rule out urinary infection might give an answer to your queries, so get them done and consult your doctor for further advice. |

Hi I have recently read that shortness of breath and chest pain can be a symptom of a thoracic bulging disk, but also have seen other medics say this does not cause shortness of breath so which is it? I ve already had 2 emergency spinal surgeries in l2 & l4 area and have a disc that feels like it s popping between my shoulder blades regularly and I m recently becoming more and more short of breath even while lying down. I have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and I am very fatigued all the time. Chest X-ray and ECG normal today as are blood work. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, bulging of Thoracic intervertebral disc can not cause breathlessness. Since your chest x-ray and ECG are normal, no need to worry about lung infection or heart diseases. Bronchitis can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is suggestive of bronchitis then you need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for breathlessness. If PFT is normal then no need to worry about bronchitis. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
hi doctor,my son was going to complete his 3rd month within 3 days.from 2 days he started sudden body tightining with 5 to 10 secs crieng.he is doing every thig fine like a normal baby except this one.please give me the cause and suggestion for my baby s problem. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I just read your query. As you have mentioned body stiffness of your baby and if it is frequent then the possible cause can be cerebral palsy which is the most common cause behind this condition.* Other cause might be hypertonia where the rigidity is due to miscommunication between brain and nerves related to muscle.* Sometimes child is rigid without any cause. These all things can be differentiated only with clinical examination by a pediatrician. So do visit a nearby pediatrician to know the proper cause and get proper treatment accordingly.* I hope you find my answer helpful. Thank you. |

I lost my dad in 2002 with liver failure and it scares me to think that could be me too.oh I will come back when I have the money to pay ok right now I dont have a way to do this.Have a blessed morning | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello Rennin, Thank you for posting your query through Chat Doctor. Liver is situated on the right side of the upper abdomen. Therefore, the hurting which you have on the right side is nothing but liver pain. Please clarify the statements that you have stage III fibrosis and on X-ray and on blood work, everything is found normal. If you have liver fibrosis of third stage, there will be relevant findings in X-ray and in blood examinations. Your pain must be originating from your liver due to the inflammatory changes in it. The fear of the same fate as that of your father is frightening you very much as is understood from your query. This will only aggravate your physical conditions including pain. Therefore, remember that just getting scared of the fate of your father is not going to help you in any way. You need a treatment method that will take into consideration your genetic and constitutional features and will relieve your pain immediately. You are advised to take Homeopathic treatment from an expert Homeopathic physician at the earliest. Homeopathy is basically a genetic constitutional method of treatment. It will relieve your pain now and will cure your genetic tendency to get severe pains in the future. I can also help you provided you get back to me with more details about YOU.

My daughter has been running a low grade fever (between 101-103) for three days (since Tuesday afternoon). This morning, she has a temperature of 98.8. However, she woke up with a very sort jaw line only on the left side. Any chance these things are related. The only other symptom she has had this week is vomiting (for the first 24 hours). Last week, on Monday, I took her to the doctor and she was diagnosed with strep throat and put on Amoxicillan. Her 10th day would have been WEdnesday, but we stopped on Tuesday night since she was vomiting. She doesn t have any kind of rash on her body anywhere so I don t think it s Scarlet Fever. What do you think could be causing her jaw pain? I don t feel any swollen glands under her chin/neck area. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi.... the jaw pain your daughter is experiencing could be referred pain from the inflamed and enlarged tonsils or congested pharynx. I suggest you continue the antibiotic therapy for a total of 10 days which is the appropriate duration of treatment for streptococcal sore throat. The jaw pain can be managed with appropriate dose of Paracetamol, but if it is so severe as to restrict the movements of the jaw then it requires evaluation by physician. Regards - |
My husband is 47. Relatively good health till recently. There has been no trauma, no illness, no allergic reaction. He has been suffering from chronic pain in the right shin area. It presents at all times of the day or night and usually is accompanied by swelling of the ankle. The pain was relieved by naproxen till recently. His blood pressure was slightly high recently... 140/90 but overall does not have a significant history of any health problems. MRI, Ultra sound and xray all negative and blood work negative . We are stumped. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As the MRI, Ultrasound and x-ray are normal, then the injury is not major and the symptoms are totally muscular. Also, pain the shin are and swelling are related to the venous insufficiency and also the fatigue. The shin area of the leg, hardly contain much of the muscles and due to which possibility of getting pain is common. Checking with the physical therapy, and undergoing sessions under them, should provide good result. Usually, in my clinical such cases are more of the chronic and over use injuries, which gets treated well with physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |
Hi I have been in pain with two teeth, shooting pain like nerve pain haven t slept for last couple of days I have took neurofen every 4 hours I find sipping cold water helps when I have the dart of pain is there anything else I can do until I see a dentist kind regards | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if there is such a severe pain in your teeth that is relieved by sipping cold water it probably explains that there is inflammation in the nerves of the teeth and needs immediate treatment. You should consult a dentist and get an x Ray done and in case of Decayed teeth involving nerves of teeth root canal treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers will relieve. If the pain is due to any cracks in teeth caused by any traumatic injury or caused by biting on something very hard then the treatment that is root canal treatment or extraction will depend upon the location of fracture where crown fracture are treatable while root fractures mostly needs extraction of tooth.

My baby has the flu yesterday and I took her to our dr. He wanted to try gravol before he admitted her. ... she stopped puking last night around 8 and that was pure bile... I gave get 2oz of pedialite then she slept I woke her up at 3 have her agravol and tylonal for a fever and laid her down again. .. she had not peed yet. .. when I changed her diaper2 hrs later there was blood in her urine not a lot but it was def blood was red and In the front of her diaper notthe back. .. she just spit up a bit more pediatite on me and I went to go change her diaper and all and there was blood again. .. that s not normal is it? ? She s 5 months old | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi.this is not normal. In view of throwing up, I feel that she might be having a urinary tract infection or a renal colic too. Other option (though remote) is that, blood could have been from the stools. In such case the possibility of bacterial dysentery has to be considered. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. But I suggest you take her to her pediatrician. Regards - |
I have a very very bad itch that comes and goes around my perineum, and base of my penis. With loss of pigment in the most itchy areas. It feels amazing when I scratch, until I break the skin and cause pain. Any of ideas what it could be?

Hi doc, yesternight what exactly happened was that I and My partner were naked and hugging each other and i had a pre-cum earlier at that time but didnt proceed as our wish but now we both arent sure whether my penis touched her slit or not, even if it would have done then on the top or so side of the vulva [we both are virgins]. Will see get pregnant?ase type your query here... | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. In the heat of excitement, there is every possibility of the pre-cum containing sperms. When in close contact with the vagina or vulva, its deposition cannot be ruled out. Therefore, there is a possibility of getting pregnant even if you did not have penetrative sex. I suggest your partner take an pill if it is still within 72 hours from having your incident. Hope this helps |
Dear Dr. Siegel, I am a female, aged 47 and experienced sudden back a few days back. The pain occurs while getting up from a chair or the bed. On showing to a doctor, I was asked to get a spine x-ray, which showed some problem in L5 and S1. Among other medicines, I have also been prescribed Meganeuron OD plus ( methylcobalamin , alpha lipoic acid and vitamins), which I understand is a supplement , Are there any side effects of taking this medicine? Thank you. Sinecerely, AAAAAA, Delhi, India | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorI, Chat Doctor. The history of backache which is more on getting up from chair or bed and X-ray findings of a problem at the level of L5-S1 indicates disc herniation or disc protrusion or prolapse. A disc made up of fibrocartilage is present between two BNY vertebrae. It acts as a shock absorber. Sudden getting up can cause this disc to move out from its normal position. The protruding the disc causes symptoms of pain by compressing the various nerves in the vicinity. Its management is conservative initially consisting of rest and supplements if required. Supplements mentioned by you does not have any side effects if taken in prescribed dosage. A displaced disc is at high risk of prolapse if there is no prolapse initially. You should avoid picking up heavy weights and no to bend/ stand up from a bending position suddenly. This may aggravate the problem. Take rest and further an MRI may be required. Stay in touch with your treating doctor. Thanks and take care |

im taking althea oral contraceptives. on the first day, i took the pill at 4pm. on the second day at around 6pm. and on the third day at around 5pm. and from the 4th day onwards, ive been taking it at 4pm everyday. ive been taking it for 10 days now. On the first week i was taking it, i was experiencing lightheadedness, i get tired easily, and really bloated. My partner even noticed i gained weight so quickly. But what most alarms me is that i would sometimes get light sort-of-painful sensations around my belly where i would experience cramps when i have my period before. And with this, i would have a brownish discharge and (sometimes) urine, too. Is this normal? What should i do? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hallow Dear, You seem to be from the Philippines. Althea is mainly available in the Philippines. These pills contain Cyproterone which is a progestational agent, and Ethinylestradiol which is an Estrogen product. Both these medicines cause nausea, sometimes vomiting and pain in abdomen due to the fact that they increase acidity in the stomach and secondly due to the fact that they are intoxicated in the Liver. From your history, it seems you are not consuming these pills after dinner. Please change the timings of these pills to post dinner time. On full stomach, the gastritis effect is much minimized. Stick to one specific time for consumption of these pills. Moreover, you may take some proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole every morning on empty stomach which will help you control the gastritis. All the gastro-enteric symptoms you are experiencing are known with the birth control pills due to hormones in them. Usually they stop after a month or so; however if they continue, you may try Pantoprazole. If still they persist, you may change the brand with the help of your Gynecologist. The brownish discharge you had is known as breakthrough bleeding which is a hormonal effect. If it continues, you may take two pills on that day which will stop the bleeding. Yes, putting on weight is a known (side) effect of birth control pills. It is due to water retention as well as fat deposition. You may try to control it by restriction on salt intake and consuming high protein, low fat and low carboy Chat Doctor. I am sure this would help you. |
Hello. For about a couple of months, my left pinky seems swollen at the joint closest to the fingernail (the top joint). It seems enlarged and starting to curve in toward the ring finger. When I squeeze it, it hurts but does not hurt just on its own. I can still bend it. It seems a bit red at the joint. I feel like it coulb be arthritis but it seemed to come on quickly. Mabye I broke it but I don t remember doing anything to break it. I am 57 and I don t smoke or drink. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a finger injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. Furthermore, I recommend maintaining the finger immobilized. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor. |
