I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on medication for schizophrenia for the last two months. Initially, she was taking 1 Trinicalm Plus and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 1 Trinicalm Plus at night. They upped her dose after two weeks to 1 Trinicalm Plus and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 2 Trinicalm Pluses at night. Now they're saying she needs 2 Trinicalm Pluses and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 2 Trinicalm Pluses with 1 Topirol 50 at night. I'm concerned because she's also dealing with obesity and high blood pressure. Does this sound okay to you?

The loose motions have stopped since last night, but the stomach pain is still there, and I'm experiencing a lot of gas. I tried taking Ocid 20 and Pudin Hara, but they didn't help. I even ate some dahi, but that didn't do anything either. Could you please suggest any medicine that might help with the stomach pain and stop the excessive farting?

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Back on January 6th, I had some tests done that showed minor typhoid and a high TLC of 12500. I was on treatment for about two weeks, and afterwards my fever went away and my TLC went down to 11000. I felt pretty good then, but a few days later, I started feeling like I had a fever again, even though my temperature and BP were normal. Yesterday I noticed my temperature was 96.8, but it went back to normal on its own. This morning, the feverish feeling came back despite an okay temperature. I took a Dolo 650 after breakfast and felt better during the day, but then my fever spiked to 100.2 in the evening. I'm just at a loss about what's going on here. What could this be? Could you suggest which tests I should get done to find out why this keeps happening?

I'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back.

I'm really worried about something that's been on my mind for a while. Back in 2002, I got bitten by a dog but didn't get any rabies vaccination at that time. Then in 2008, after getting concerned, I decided to get 3 anti-rabies shots, and because of some psychological stress, I ended up getting more. By 2011, I had taken a total of 12 rabies vaccines. So I'm really anxious now and need to know: Is there any chance I could still get rabies from that bite in 2002 because I didn't get vaccinated immediately? And is it possible to experience any reactions or side effects due to the number of vaccines I've received over the years? Previously, a doctor mentioned there's a very remote possibility, less than 1%, of getting rabies, but I'm just so nervous and can't stop thinking about it.

My friend had a medical abortion at six weeks. Initially, she didnt bleed for more than a day, but when the bleeding started, it was really heavy and lasted about four days before stopping all of a sudden. Is it normal for the bleeding to stop after just a few days like that? Since it stopped, she's been having severe stomach pain along with fever and headache. Could you help us understand why the bleeding might have stopped so quickly and what might be causing her to have these symptoms?

It mentions a mean sac measurement around 19.73 and biometry CRL at 7.8 mm, with a single intrauterine nonviable gestation estimated at 6 weeks 5 days, and multiple uterine fibroids.

The issue we're having is with nighttime as soon as he lies down to sleep, he starts producing sputum and has to cough it up. He doesn't have problems sitting up, and there's no orthopnea or nocturnal apnea, just sputum, so he's been taking Levocetirizine and Montelukast for that. I'm wondering if we should add back TIOVA?

I've been dealing with pancreatitis and the stress from my personal life is really getting to me. I'm wondering if there's any way I can still have a drink now and then?

Alcohol consumption should be avoided completely if you have pancreatitis, as it can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. It is important to prioritize your health and well-being by abstaining from alcohol. Instead, focus on managing stress through healthy coping mechanisms and seeking support from healthcare professionals or counselors.

My uncle's dealing with some heart blockages and is being advised to undergo this new MICS technique heart surgery at Apollo Bangalore by Dr. Sathyaki Nambala. He's a bit uneasy about it since this is a newer technique and he's anxious about the results. I couldn't find many reviews or info online, so I thought I'd check here to see if any doctors could share some insights. What are the risks involved, and is there anything specific he should be concerned about? Should he just stick with this new procedure, or go with the traditional method? Would love any advice or thoughts you might have.

In the case of your uncle's heart blockages, the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) technique is a modern approach that offers several benefits compared to traditional open-heart surgery. The MICS technique involves smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery time, and lower risk of infection. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved. Some potential risks of MICS heart surgery include bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding tissues, and the need for additional procedures. It's important for your uncle to discuss these risks with Dr. Sathyaki Nambala and understand the specific risks based on his individual health condition. In terms of concerns, your uncle should be aware of the learning curve associated with newer techniques like MICS. While Dr. Sathyaki Nambala is experienced in this technique, there may be a slight increase in operative time during the initial learning phase. Your uncle should also inquire about the success rates of MICS at Apollo Bangalore and discuss any concerns he may have with Dr. Sathyaki Nambala. Ultimately, the decision to proceed with the new MICS technique or opt for the conventional method should be based on a thorough discussion between your uncle and his healthcare team. Considering the potential benefits and risks, as well as your uncle's individual health status, Dr. Sathyaki Nambala will be able to provide personalized guidance on the most suitable approach for your uncle's heart blockages treatment.

I've noticed that my penis, when flaccid and stretched, tends to bend to the left at about a 30 to 40-degree angle. I'm worried if this is normal. Is there any way to fix it, maybe some device that could help straighten it out? I'm really looking for some guidance on how I can get my flaccid bend straightened. Any advice would be really appreciated.

It sounds like you may have Peyronie's disease, which is a condition where scar tissue forms in the penis, causing it to bend during erections. To help straighten your flaccid penis, you can try using a vacuum erection device like the brand name "Vacurect" or "Erec-Tech" under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like "Xiaflex" may be prescribed to help break down the scar tissue. It's important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been having this mild, intermittent pain in the middle of my left palm, just at the bottom part. It was odd because it would last only about 30 seconds before disappearing, and then it would come back again after a few minutes. It didn't spread anywhere else and was just in that one spot. This happened last night, but by this morning, the pain was gone. I'm puzzled about what could've caused this. Could it be something related to a heart issue?

"Based on your description, the intermittent pain in your left palm does not seem to be directly related to a heart problem. This type of localized, mild, intermittent pain is more likely to be musculoskeletal in nature. It could be due to overuse of the hand, a minor injury, or even a nerve issue. To alleviate any discomfort, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation."

I'm experiencing something concerning when I eat. After meals, I tend to get heartburn, feel nauseous, and have gas issues. Could you tell me if it's safe to take bifilac and sodium bicarbonate capsules for this?

When you experience heartburn, vomiting, and gas problems after eating, it may indicate acid reflux or indigestion. Bifilac capsules can help in regulating your gut flora and sodium bicarbonate can help in neutralizing stomach acid. You can take Bifilac capsules (containing probiotics) one capsule twice a day after meals and Sodium Bicarbonate capsules (containing sodium bicarbonate) one capsule after meals as needed. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms.

I'm dealing with chronic anxiety and the allopathic treatment I'm on doesn't seem to be doing much for me. Is there something Ayurveda offers that could help with anxiety?

In Ayurveda, there are several herbs and formulations that can help in managing anxiety. One commonly used herb is Ashwagandha, which is known for its calming effects. You can try taking Ashwagandha capsules or powder, usually in a dosage of 300-500mg twice a day. Another herb is Brahmi, which is also beneficial for reducing anxiety. Brahmi capsules or powder can be taken in a dosage of 300-500mg twice a day. Jatamansi is another herb that is used in Ayurveda for anxiety. You can take Jatamansi capsules or powder in a dosage of 250-500mg twice a day. It is important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to get the right dosage and combination of herbs for your specific condition.

I had a right-sided pleural effusion back in July 2015, and even though I'm off medication now, I still feel pain on the right side when I take a deep breath or yawn. It doesn't feel normal. My last ESR was 10, done in January 2016. Can you help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing residual pain from your previous pleural effusion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you may benefit from using a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like diclofenac (Voltaren) gel applied to the affected area for localized relief. It's important to follow the recommended dosage instructions for any medication you take. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with some bothersome allergies from dust and smoke, and it's making it tough to breathe. I'm getting the feeling these might be signs of asthma. Could you help me out with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing asthma symptoms due to your allergies. To help with your breathing difficulties, I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to provide immediate relief. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from a maintenance inhaler like Flovent (fluticasone) to help control your asthma symptoms in the long term. The typical dosage for adults is 2 puffs twice a day. It's important to use these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal management of your asthma symptoms.

I'm an unmarried woman dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome and it's really starting to affect my daily life. What are some effective ways to treat the symptoms?

Poly cystic ovaries syndrome in unmarried women can be treated effectively with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. To manage the symptoms of PCOS, it is important to focus on maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Additionally, hormonal contraceptives such as Yaz or Yasmin can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms like acne and hirsutism. Metformin, a medication commonly used to treat diabetes, can also be prescribed to help with insulin resistance often associated with PCOS. In some cases, spironolactone may be recommended to manage symptoms like acne and excess hair growth. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally inhaled a small piece of rice while eating yesterday. Could this cause any harm, and is there a chance it might dissolve on its own? I'm also concerned about the possibility of getting an infection. What should I do?

A small foreign body, such as a piece of rice, getting into the lungs can potentially cause irritation or infection. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you are experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or fever. In some cases, the foreign body may need to be removed by a medical professional. I recommend visiting a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

We went to the doctor, and they prescribed her zagoozlomofen, hyocimax, and florazn. Could you tell me if this is the right treatment? I'm concerned because she doesn't seem completely better yet.

I'm dealing with some mild neck pain for about four months now, and I've noticed my SGPT and SGOT levels are high. I've checked for hepatitis and all results were negative, and a sonography indicated mild fatty liver disease. My doctor prescribed some medicine to bring down the SGPT and SGOT levels, but I'm not really sure about any specific instructions or steps I should be following. What should I do next?

It's super painful when I walk or move, and the area is all red wherever there's pain. It's been like this for a week. Any idea what's going on with my leg?

I'm 24 and had typhoid fever about six months ago. Ever since, I've been feeling unusually cold, like I can't handle even a bit of cool weather, while everyone around me seems fine. Lately, I've been getting mild chest pains and sometimes, out of nowhere, I start shivering and getting goosebumps, even at normal room temperature. I feel sleepy all the time and get tired very quickly, even after light physical activity. Walking long distances has become challenging. I got married two months ago, and after the first few weeks everything was okay, but my health has been getting worse lately. I'm working but can't keep up like everyone else, and it's frustrating because even when it's not cold, I'm in a sweater and still can't shake off the chills. Why am I feeling like this, and should I be worried?

I've been feeling these twitching sensations in my chest for about 11.5 months now. It's like a really minor shock or spasm right in the center but a bit below my chest, and they last for less than a second. It used to happen less often, but in the last few days, it's been like 5 or 6 times a day, if not more. I've never felt anything like this before. I should probably mention I smoke, but not too heavily, and I've decided to quit after feeling these twitches. I used to go to the gym regularly before I quit a month ago, and I don't think I had this issue when I was lifting weights. I've also noticed that these twitches happen more if I haven't eaten or slept for a while, though that might just be a coincidence. It's stressing me out and making me really uncomfortable.

Prolonged bleeding or irregular cycles for two months is abnormal and requires medical attention. The underlying cause could be hormonal imbalances, structural issues (like fibroids or polyps), or an infection. A gynecologist will be able to conduct tests and determine the appropriate treatment to address the cause of your irregular bleeding.

I've noticed something strange happening whenever I use the toilet. After I pass stool, the water in the toilet quickly turns yellow, even though my stool itself isn't yellow. On top of that, I've been dealing with some pain in my right abdomen for the past few days. I got a sonography done, and everything looked normal according to the reports. Could you help me understand what's going on?

The changes in the toilet water color and right abdominal pain are not typical symptoms and could indicate a deeper issue related to bile production, liver function, or malabsorption. Even though your sonography was normal, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation, especially if symptoms persist. Keep track of any other associated symptoms, such as nausea, fever, changes in stool consistency, or appetite loss, and report them to your doctor.

Seconil is typically used as a tranquilizer and anti-anxiety medication. It is commonly prescribed for managing anxiety, stress, and certain psychiatric conditions.

My husband and I timed our intercourse for three days, and from the fourth day, I started taking Susten SR 200 daily for 10 days. On the eighth day of taking Susten, I tested positive for pregnancy, and its still positive after finishing the 10-days course.

Mild cramping after stopping progesterone (Susten) does not necessarily mean theres a problem, but you should keep an eye on the symptoms. The pregnancy will likely progress well if your body is producing enough progesterone naturally at this stage. However, please continue regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your pregnancy and ensure that all is well.

So, I was playing badminton yesterday and ended up twisting my ankle at a weird angle, and now it's pretty swollen. It's not hurting too much, but the swelling is definitely noticeable. What should I do to take care of it? I'm not sure if it's serious enough to see a doctor. Do you think I really need to get it checked out?

Although the injury may not seem severe, it's important to see a doctor if: Pain increases or becomes sharp. You have difficulty walking or bearing weight on the ankle. Theres a change in skin color or you notice severe bruising. The swelling does not decrease after 48 hours or gets worse.

I've been experiencing frequent headaches, especially after traveling to my university or another workplace. It's becoming a real concern for me. Could there be a specific reason for this recurring issue, and what can I do to manage or prevent these headaches?

Its likely that your headaches are triggered by factors related to stress, posture, environmental changes, or sleep deprivation associated with your travel and work schedule. Making some simple adjustments to your hydration, posture, stress management, and sleep can help alleviate these headaches. If they persist or worsen, its best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really worried about something that happened today. I was walking in the rain and accidentally stepped on a dead mouse. Im not sure, but it seemed like it may have been killed by a rabid dog. Now Im concerned because my shoes touched a lot of things like my car seats, the gearbox, AC control, and even my phone cover, and Ive touched all of these with my hands. After that, I ate and even talked on the phone, holding it close to my face. Could this be a serious health concern, or am I just overthinking things?

Its highly unlikely that youre at risk for rabies from this situation. Rabies transmission requires direct contact with infected saliva, usually through bites or scratches, which doesnt seem to have happened here. If youre still feeling anxious, you can consult a healthcare provider, who might give you peace of mind and provide further guidance based on the specific circumstances.

I've been dealing with this weird stomach pain that kinda comes and goes since yesterday. It's like it'll hurt for a bit, stop, and then start again later. I already tried taking Pudhin Hara twice, but honestly, it didn't seem to help. What could be going on, and should I try something else or see a doctor?

Since the pain has been persisting for a day or more, its important to keep track of your symptoms. If the pain continues or is accompanied by other troubling symptoms (like nausea, vomiting, or fever), its best to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. They can help identify the cause of your stomach pain and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Can you tell me if it's safe to take four Tiniba 500 mg tablets all at once, since that adds up to 2000 mg? I'm just a bit worried about such a high dose.

Typical Doses: For infections, Tinidazole is often prescribed in doses like 500 mg twice a day or 1000 mg once a day depending on the condition. Possible Side Effects: Common side effects of Tinidazole can include nausea, metallic taste, dizziness, and headache, which might be more intense with a higher dose. If in doubt, it's always a good idea to clarify with your healthcare provider before taking the medication.

I'm dealing with some dizziness and recently got a cervical spine MRI. The results showed a bulge in c5 c6, but there's no nerve compression. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatments are available? Also, I'm experiencing a stiff neck on the left side.

A bulging disc at C5-C6 without nerve compression is usually not a major cause for concern, but it can cause discomfort, dizziness, and stiffness. Physical therapy, good posture habits, and self-care (heatcold therapy, pain relief) are common treatments. However, if you continue to experience persistent symptoms, its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further management and to rule out other potential causes of your dizziness.

I'm dealing with drooling for the past few months and I've heard it might be from worms in the stomach. I've had worm issues before, so I'm concerned this might be related. How can I put an end to this problem once and for all? Also, I've noticed a big gain in weight over the past couple of years. Could these be connected? What should I do?

Drooling may be related to various causes, and its important to get an accurate diagnosis from a healthcare provider. Worm infestations are treatable with medications, but they are unlikely to be the direct cause of drooling. For weight gain, a combination of dietary changes, physical activity, and medical consultation is necessary to manage the condition effectively.

I've been dealing with a dry mouth and a burning sensation when I urinate since I started taking eptoin for a stroke I had a few months ago. I'm also diabetic, so Im not sure if it's a side effect of the medication or related to my sugar levels. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

It seems that the dry mouth and burning micturition youre experiencing could be related to either your Eptoin medication or your diabetes. While these can be side effects of Eptoin, they could also be exacerbated by high blood sugar or a UTI. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to review these symptoms and make adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar and maintaining hydration can help manage some of these symptoms as well.

your symptoms could be related to a variety of illnesses, with the flu or a viral infection being the most likely causes. Rest, hydration, and mild pain relievers like paracetmol can help you manage symptoms in the short term, but if they persist or worsen, it's important to see a healthcare provider

I've been having this breathlessness issue for a while now. It's strange because I don't have asthma and my blood pressure is normal. The doctor did some kind of small lung test using this tiny machine on my finger, and that came out normal too. But I keep getting this really frequent cough and have problems with acidity. Could they be related? I'm wondering if this is something serious. What's your take on it?

While your symptoms might not necessarily indicate something major, it's important to address them proactively. GERD, post-nasal drip, or even stress could be contributing to your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation to rule out other conditions

I'm really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?

The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.

I had unprotected sex with a commercial sex worker, and it's been six months since then. I already took an HIV test using the CMIA method at an ICTC, and it came back non-reactive. Is this result 100% conclusive, or should I take another test after a year just to be sure? I'm a bit anxious about the whole situation and want to make sure I'm in the clear.

Since your 6-month HIV tests (CMIA, ICTC, and HIV rapid tests) were non-reactive, these results are considered conclusive and accurate, and you do not need another test at 12 months unless you are experiencing symptoms or have had another exposure. However, if you remain anxious or have concerns, you can consult with a healthcare provider for further reassurance. Please keep in mind that safe sex practices, including the use of condoms, are important in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) moving forward.

I'm dealing with some bowel issues for about a year now. Sometimes things seem to get better, but then it starts acting up again after a few days. My colon just doesnt seem to empty properly. Sometimes the bowel is really hard, and other times there's a mucus-like thing, which causes gas and acidity. No matter what type of bowel movement it is, I struggle to pass stools and have to apply a lot of pressure, which sometimes leads to rectal pain. Even then, my colon still doesnt feel empty. I'm wondering if there might be some kind of obstruction or if it could be irritable bowel syndrome. It's really affecting my daily life, and the discomfort is too much to handle. Can you help clarify what's going on?

While Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a likely cause of your symptoms, its important to consider other possible conditions, such as intestinal obstruction, IBD, or pelvic floor dysfunction. Given the persistence and discomfort of your symptoms, I highly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist to undergo a thorough evaluation, including tests like a colonoscopy or imaging, to rule out other potential causes and get a proper diagnosis. Treatment may involve a combination of dietary changes, medications, and possibly physical therapy for pelvic floor issues.

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just got my Dual Marker test and Ultrasound done. I'm looking at the results, and I'm a bit confused. The Age Risk for Trisomy 21 says 1546, and it shows Screen negative at 124906. There's also Trisomy 18 with Screen negative at 1100000. The Free BHCG is 14.1 IUL at 0.78 MOM, and the PAPP-A is 3.64 IUL at 0.99 MOM. The Ultrasound shows the yolk sac, CRL is at 78.8 mm, which matches 13 weeks and 6 days, NT measurement is 1.7mm, and the nasal bone is seen at 0.89 MOM. I'm really concerned about what all these numbers mean. Could my baby possibly have Down Syndrome based on these results, and what should my next steps be?

there is no cause for concern regarding the risk of Down syndrome or other chromosomal conditions in your baby. The next step would likely be a routine follow-up ultrasound and continued monitoring throughout your pregnancy. If you have further concerns or if your doctor feels it necessary, they might recommend more specific tests such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) or amniocentesis for more detailed risk assessment, but based on these results, that is generally not required.

I'm currently in the hospital, and I'm really worried about how risky this situation might be. Could you please help me understand what those measurements mean and what I should expect?

While your condition does carry some risks, especially for preterm birth, many women with similar conditions go on to have successful pregnancies with the appropriate treatment and monitoring. Your healthcare providers will be the best source of advice to manage this situation and minimize risks to both you and your baby. Stay in close contact with your doctor, and follow their instructions carefully.

I'm really stressed out about my health right now. I've been dealing with hemorrhoids and started taking Himalaya Pilex tablets because I heard they could help. I was taking two tablets, twice a day, but after 14 days, my hemorrhoids got worse instead of better.

I've stopped taking the Pilex tablets, but the swelling and noise in my ear keep getting worse. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to stop the effects and what I should do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Your symptoms may be multifactorial and could involve both a side effect from the Pilex tablets and a potential thyroid issue. Stopping the medication was a good first step, but a thorough evaluation by a doctor is essential to rule out other health concerns and guide you on the next steps for treatment. It's crucial to monitor your thyroid function and address any potential underlying issues. Please get medical attention as soon as possible.

I've been having these vertigo episodes over the last six months, and despite seeing an ENT and getting all sorts of tests like VNG and audiometry, everything came back normal. The ENT even said it might not be vertigo and suggested I see a neurologist. I had an MRI done, but that was fine too. I've been on stuzeran 25 and renerve plus for about four months, and while there's a bit of improvement in my dizziness and motion sickness, it's nothing significant.

With all these doctor visits, nobody's been able to pinpoint what's actually causing my problems. Any idea what's going on or what could be the reason for these headaches?

in conclusion, while many tests have come back normal, its still possible that issues like posture, stress, or medication side effects could be contributing to your ongoing symptoms. Its important to maintain open communication with your healthcare providers, and exploring physical therapy for your neck and posture might be a useful next step.

I'm really worried because I've been having trouble with my periods this month. They're delayed by 12 days, which hasn't happened to me in over four years. My cycle's been super regular for the last two years, almost like clockwork. Four years ago, I had PCOD and took medication for it, and then three years ago, I had issues with my endometrium thickening, but medication helped with that. These last couple of years have been normal with regular exercise and good eating habits. But this past month, I've been really stressed and haven't exercised properly, which messed with my appetite too. Now I'm just spotting and having some white discharge, but then nothing else. It keeps repeating like that, with severe body pain and mood swings, plus bloating, but still no periods. What can I do to fix this?

While the delay in your period is likely linked to stress and lifestyle changes, given your history of PCOD and endometrial issues, its best to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, focusing on stress reduction, proper nutrition, and light physical activity may help improve your symptoms.

I'm looking for some advice regarding my mom's health. About a year and a half ago, she had a heart attack and went through angiography and angioplasty, where they found a blockage and put in a stent. Since then, we've been going for regular checkups, and her health reports have been mostly fine. But recently, her blood report showed her creatinine levels were at 2.47, which the doctor said might be due to heavy medication. They suggested that stopping the medication could reverse this and help her kidneys recover. After consulting a nephrologist, she started on a new treatment and diet plan, and her creatinine levels went down to 1.79 and then to 1.59. Even though her creatinine is decreasing, I'm worried because she's still experiencing swelling. Could there be another issue that's causing this? What should we be looking into or asking at her next appointment?

While her creatinine levels are improving, swelling could still be due to kidney or heart-related issues, medications, or dietary factors. It's essential to continue working closely with her healthcare providers, and follow the prescribed treatments and diet plan. Regular check-ups, blood tests, and open communication with her doctor will help guide the best course of action.

I'm a little concerned about my beta hCG levels. I had my last menstrual period on September 19, and I ovulated around October 5. I just got my beta hCG test results back, and they came in at 558 mIUmL on the 34th day since my LMP. Is this normal? Should I be worried or is everything okay with these numbers?

Your beta-hCG result of 558 mIUmL is normal for this stage of pregnancy. If you're concerned or experiencing symptoms (e.g., spotting, cramping), or if youre unsure about the results, its best to follow up with your doctor for further guidance or a follow-up blood test to check how the levels are rising. An ultrasound can also provide a more accurate assessment of the pregnancy's progress.

I'm in my 35th week of pregnancy and I'm a bit concerned about eating poppy seeds payasam. Is it safe for me at this stage? Also, are there any other foods or suggestions you might have that can help me sleep better at night?

While poppy seeds are generally safe in moderation during pregnancy, it's important to be cautious and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns. If you're looking for other natural ways to improve sleep, there are plenty of alternatives like milk, bananas, herbal teas, and almonds that can help you relax and get better rest during pregnancy.

I'm kinda worried because I want to make sure the treatment has actually worked and that no new growth is happening. Can you give me some guidance on what to expect or how I might notice if it's all settled down?

To confirm that your lipoma has stopped growing or forming new ones after homeopathic treatment, monitor the following: 1. Size: Measure and track the lipoma's size regularly. 2. Growth rate: Observe if the growth rate has slowed or halted. 3. New lesions: Watch for any new lipoma formations. 4. Consistency: Check if the lipoma's texture or consistency has changed. 5. Symptoms: Note any changes in symptoms like pain, tenderness, or inflammation.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 38, and for the past two years, she's been dealing with knee joint pains. She's not too keen on going to the hospital, but the pain isn't too severe. Last year, the doctor told her that her knee joint's starting to rub after a scan. He also suggested she try to lose some weight. The pain gets worse when she walks a lot or climbs stairs frequently. I usually apply oil to her legs, and sometimes she wears a knee cap. The pain is more intense in one leg than the other. Can you suggest some ways to help reduce her pain and maybe offer some diet advice?

To alleviate your mom's knee joint pain, suggest she: loses weight (aiming for 55-60 kg) through a balanced diet and exercise like walking, swimming, or yoga; strengthens surrounding muscles through physical therapy or exercises like squats, lunges, and leg press; uses proper footwear, knee caps, and walking aids as needed; applies heat or cold therapy; and considers alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage. Dietary recommendations include: increasing omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, nuts, and seeds), vitamin D (dairy, sunlight), and calcium (dairy, leafy greens) intake; avoiding processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats; and drinking plenty of water.

What exactly is this viral load thing I've been hearing about? I'm stressing about my health a lot. Is hepatitis B something that can be cured? My test results came back saying HBsAg is provisionally reactive, and the lab suggested I get an HBsAg confirmatory test. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms I've read about online, but I'm feeling very tired and have lost a lot of weight, going from 68 kg to 58 kg. Could this be because of hepatitis B? How do I find out if this is an acute or chronic infection, and is it something fatal or life-threatening? I'm really worried here.

Viral load refers to the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) present in your blood; a confirmatory test will determine if you're infected; Hepatitis B can be managed, but not completely cured; symptoms like fatigue and weight loss can occur, but it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment; acute HBV is typically self-limiting, while chronic HBV requires ongoing management; it's not immediately life-threatening, but if left untreated, can lead to liver damage or cancer; schedule an appointment with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss your results, determine the stage of infection, and develop a treatment plan.

I'm genuinely concerned about the heat in my body and how it's affecting my health. I've been getting ulcers in my mouth or on my tongue almost every month. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm starting to wonder what's causing them. Is the heat in my body connected to these frequent ulcers? How can I reduce this heat or prevent them from happening so often? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

To decrease body heat, try: staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, taking cool showers or baths, practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, and avoiding spicy or heavy foods; regarding ulcers, the main reasons include: stress, hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron), acidic or spicy foods, and underlying conditions like gastrointestinal issues or autoimmune disorders; to prevent monthly ulcers, consider keeping a food diary to track triggers, practicing good oral hygiene, and consulting your doctor or dentist for personalized advice.

I've been dealing with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies for about a month now and it's causing me some issues. I've noticed that I don't have much of an appetite and Im having trouble with digestion, like my motions aren't normal. I also feel really tired and my joints are aching. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

Considering your Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, lack of appetite, digestion issues, tiredness, and joint pain, consult your doctor about taking supplements, and also focus on dietary changes, such as incorporating Vitamin D-rich foods like fortified dairy products, mushrooms, and fatty fish, and Vitamin B12-rich foods like dairy, eggs, and plant-based milk, while also addressing digestive issues through probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and adequate hydration.

Having piles (hemorrhoids) as a teenager is uncommon, but not unheard of, and it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like constipation, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease, and in the meantime, try home remedies like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and applying warm compresses or witch hazel to the affected area to alleviate symptoms.

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I've been dealing with pain and a burning sensation in my right nipple for about 45 days and mild pain in my right armpit for a few days. I've taken a lot of medicine, but nothing seems to help. I had a mammogram and an ultrasound done; the mammogram was all clear, but the ultrasound showed a well-defined oval hypoechoic lesion measuring 63 mm in the 34 clock position of my right breast. It also noted some bilateral axillary lymph nodes with preserved fatty hila that they said were insignificant. I also had my right ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst, and my left ovary is normal in size but shows multiple peripherally arranged follicles, and they said it appears polycystic. I'm really anxiouscould this possibly be cancer?

Based on your symptoms and test results, it's unlikely to be breast cancer, given the clear mammogram and ultrasound findings describing a small, well-defined hypoechoic lesion, which may be a benign cyst or fibroadenoma; however, the persistent nipple pain and burning warrant further evaluation by a breast specialist or a multidisciplinary team to rule out other conditions like ductal ectasia, periductal mastitis, or hormonal imbalances, which may be related to your history of ovarian issues, including the removed dermoid cyst and polycystic-appearing left ovary.

I've been a bit worried since I recently had some blood work done. My total bilirubin was 1.77, so I took Livopill for 10 days, and my repeated test showed total bilirubin at 1.62, with DB at 0.63 and IDB at 0.99. The other results were total protein 7.6, serum albumin 4.9, globulin 2.7, AG ratio 1.8, SGOT 24, SGPT 25, alkaline phosphatase 92, GGTP 12, and my HBsAg was 0.24. Now, I've been told to take Ensules Plus for a month, but I feel this discomfort or pain just below my right rib. Should I be thinking about taking any other medication or is the pain something to worry about? Feeling a bit unsure about all this.

Your liver function tests show mild bilirubin elevation and normal liver enzymes, and the HbsAg result suggests you're not infected with hepatitis B; considering your symptoms and test results, consult your doctor about adding a liver protective supplement like silymarin or ursodeoxycholic acid to Ensules Plus, and for the rib pain, consider adding an antacid or acid reducer like omeprazole or ranitidine to alleviate discomfort, but only under medical guidance.

I'm really worried and looking for some guidance. If a miscarriage happens around the 4th week, what should the HCG levels typically look like at that point, and how do they change after a miscarriage? Also, I'm curious about what the HCG levels are when someone isn't pregnant. How long does it usually take for the HCG levels to return to normal after a miscarriage?

The normal hCG levels at 5 weeks LMP is 18 7,340 mIUml. The hCG level in your blood doubles every two to three days when you're pregnant. If your hCG doubling time is slower than expected, or if it decreases over time, this may be a sign of a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. An hCG level of less than 5 mIUmL is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25 mIUmL is considered positive for pregnancy. It can take a variable amount of time for hCG levels to come to normal after miscarriage but it usually comes to normal within 2 weeks after miscarriage.

I've been thinking about using ashwagandha, shatavari, kaunch beej, and safed musli powder as supplements, but I'm worried about how safe they are for my liver and kidneys if I take them for a long time. I'm 24, male, and unmarried. Could you let me know if it's safe and how I should take them?

As a 24-year-old male, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Kaunch Beej, and Safed Musli powder are generally considered safe for kidneys and liver in moderation; to use them long-term, consult an Ayurvedic expert for personalized guidance, but a common approach is to cycle them for 3-4 months, followed by a 1-2 month break, and start with a small dose (12 teaspoon) twice a day, mixed with milk or water, and gradually increase as needed and under expert supervision.

I'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?

Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.

I'm curious, is it normal to find traces of protein in a complete urine test when you have a fever? Can you explain if that's something to worry about?

Traces of protein in the urine means a small amount of protein ,which could be normal or due to urinary tract infection.But a larger amount of protein indicates serious disorders of kidneys. You could repeat the urine analysis after few days and if it shows presence of protein , you need to go through further tests.

I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife is 20 weeks pregnant and her screening tests for Down syndrome all came back fine, except for the nuchal fold measurement, which is at 6.7mm. I'm wondering if we should be concerned about this? What could it mean for the baby?

The most accurate test for detecting latent TB is the Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA), such as QuantiFERON or T-SPOT.TB, which measures the immune response to TB proteins; the Mantoux test (Tuberculin Skin Test) is also used, but it has some limitations, such as cross-reactivity with BCG vaccine and false negatives in immunocompromised individuals; sputum AFB (Acid-Fast Bacillus) smear is used to diagnose active TB, not latent TB, so it's not relevant in your case;

I'm worried that I might have caught TB from a friend who's being treated for it, but I don't have any symptoms yet. I'm trying to figure out which test would be most accurate to detect latent TB. Can the Mantoux test and sputum AFB both find it, or is one better than the other?

I'm 50 years old and just got my bilirubin test results back. The total is 2.4 and direct is 1.1. I'm really worried. Is this considered very high? What should I do next?

Your bilirubin test results, with a total bilirubin of 2.4 mgdL and direct bilirubin of 1.1 mgdL, are slightly elevated, but not alarmingly high, as the normal range is typically 0.1-1.2 mgdL for direct bilirubin and 0.2-1.3 mgdL for total bilirubin, so consult your doctor to discuss potential causes, such as liver inflammation, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis, and determine the best course of action.

I've been feeling this intense heat on the top of my head whenever I place my hand there. Some people mention it might be due to body heat, so I've tried doing an oil bath 3 to 4 times, but it hasn't really helped. I'm just wondering what might be causing this and what kind of doctor I should see about it?

The persistent heat sensation in your head, despite frequent oil baths, could be related to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions, such as hypertension, thyroid disorders, or neurological issues, so consider consulting a neurologist

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and I recently got a reading of 121 over 68. I know that typically the lower number should be around 80, so I'm a little concerned. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I'm wondering if I should be worried about that lower number being 68. Could you give me some insight into whether this is normal or if I should be doing something about it?

A diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 68 mmHg is actually considered within the normal range, as the American Heart Association defines normal DBP as less than 80 mmHg, and a DBP between 60-79 mmHg is generally associated with better cardiovascular health, so your reading of 12168 mmHg is considered normal for a healthy 23-year-old male.

Could surgical mesh be visible in imaging tests like X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans? I'm kind of concerned because I had a procedure with mesh recently, and I'm wondering if it shows up in these tests or if something might be wrong.

Surgical mesh is typically made of synthetic or biologic materials that can be visible on imaging tests, with varying degrees of clarity: X-rays may show mesh as a faint outline, CT scans can provide more detailed images, and MRIs may show mesh as a signal void or low-signal intensity area, but the visibility of mesh on imaging tests depends on the type of mesh, its location, and the imaging modality used.

I'm dealing with a 3mm stone in my left kidney. I'm curious if there's any general medicine in homeopathy that could help me pass it. Also, is there something preventive I could take to avoid future stones?

3mm stone will usually pass through urine on its own, no need of any treatment, but keep yourself well hydrated all time so that you can avoid formation of stone further, Regarding alternative medicine sorry I have no knowledge in that so cannot advice you.

I'm experiencing something a bit oddmy feet swell up every evening but then go back to normal by the morning, and there's no pain with it. I usually go for walks both in the morning and evening. A while back, my right knee was swollen and painful, and I massaged it with sarson oil, which helped the knee, but now my feet are having this issue. I did the RA factor test, and it came back negative. My cholesterol is at 215.11 mgdl, but otherwise, my reports were normal. I'm just wondering what could be causing this swelling in my feetany insights?

Consider consulting a md physician to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, try elevating your legs above the level of your heart while sitting, reducing salt intake, staying hydrated, and wearing compression socks to alleviate evening foot swelling, which may be related to your evening walks, improved knee condition, or elevated cholesterol.

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and just got some blood work back. My SGOT is at 35, SGPT is 65, and alkaline phosphatase (AP) is at 167. Plus, my platelet count is 110. Should I be concerned about these results?

Your elevated SGPT (65) and low platelet count (110) may indicate a potential liver issue, such as preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome, which can be concerning during pregnancy, so it's essential to discuss these results with your obstetrician and closely monitor your condition to ensure the health and safety of both you and your baby.

I've had PV malaria three times this year and each time I took Lariago DS. I can't take PQ though, because my G6PD enzyme levels are on the lower side. Is there any permanent way to get rid of this? I'm really worried it might keep coming back.

Given your recurrent Plasmodium vivax (PV) malaria and G6PD deficiency, which prevents you from taking primaquine (PQ), consider consulting a specialist for alternative treatment options, such as a higher dose of chloroquine or a combination of chloroquine and other antimalarial medications, and take preventive measures, including using insecticide-treated bed nets, wearing protective clothing, and applying insect repellents to minimize the risk of future infections.

Hey, I've been wondering if masturbating twice a day could be bad for my health. I came across an article saying it helps reduce stress and acts as a great stress reliever. But I'm also seeing other articles and hearing from some counselors that masturbating too often might affect sperm production and could cause a burning feeling during urination. Could you let me know what you think? I'd really like to understand if there are any long-term health implications of doing it regularly. Also, please keep this conversation private between us. I'm just trying to be proactive about my health.

Well sir masturbation is a normal physiological process and it's healthy as long as you are not obssessed to it or it disrupts your normal life...So just keep it in limits.

I'm really concerned about my Sgpt level being 107, even though all my other levels are normal. Can you let me know if this is something I need to worry about, or if it's just a minor issue? I've been feeling anxious about it and would appreciate any advice you can offer.

An SGPT (ALT) level of 107 is mildly elevated, and since other liver function tests are normal, it may indicate mild liver stress or damage, possibly due to fatty liver, alcohol consumption, or medication side effects, and it's essential to consult your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate course of action, which may include lifestyle modifications, medication adjustments, or further testing.

I'm dealing with this persistent dry cough that's just not going away, and it's been happening every couple of months. I've seen a few doctors, and none of the medicines they suggested have relieved it. They've mentioned it might be bronchitis, but I'm not so sure anymore since nothing seems to be helping. I've tried antibiotics, various syrups like Ascoril and Brozodex, inhalers like Seretide 250 and Foracort, and tablets like LCZ Plus and Gramocef 200 mg, but it's like I'm not making any progress. There's no sputum coming out, and it's causing a lot of discomfort in my chest. It's gotten to the point where I'm not even sleeping well at night. I'm really worried and could use some guidance on what else I might try. Any advice?

Considering your persistent dry cough and lack of relief from various medications, it's essential to revisit your diagnosis and treatment plan; consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, or even gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and consider further investigations like a chest X-ray, spirometry, or an acid reflux test to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

What are the success chances when transferring a grade 2 embryo? I've got three of these, each being a grade 2 on day 3. Could you also explain how the grading works and what my chances of conceiving might be?

The success chances of a grade 2 embryo transfer are relatively good, considering day 3 embryo grades are categorized into four quality levels. - Grade 1 (poor quality): More than 25% fragmentation - Grade 2 (fair quality): 10-25% fragmentation - Grade 3 (good quality): 1-10% fragmentation - Grade 4 (excellent quality): Less than 1% fragmentation Studies have shown that embryos across all grades can lead to healthy births, but higher-quality embryos have better success rates. For day 3 embryos, the success rates are generally lower compared to blastocyst-stage embryos. To give you a better idea, here are some general success rates for embryo transfers based on the embryo's quality and stage of development : - Excellent-grade blastocysts: 65% pregnancy rate and 50% live birth rate - Good-grade blastocysts: 59.3% pregnancy rate and 49.7% live birth rate - Average-grade blastocysts: 50.3% pregnancy rate and 42.3% live birth rate - Poor-grade blastocysts: 33.3% pregnancy rate and 25% live birth rate Keep in mind that these are general estimates and actual success rates can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific fertility clinic. Given that you have three grade 2 embryos, your chances of conceiving are still relatively good, but it's essential to consult with your fertility specialist to discuss the best course of action and determine the most suitable embryo transfer strategy for your specific situation.

I've been dealing with a cold, fever, and a respiratory cough and the pharmacist suggested I take paracetamol and Novaclav 625, twice daily for two days. However, I've already taken it for three days now. I'm wondering, how many days is it safe or recommended to continue taking Novaclav 625?

Novaclav 625, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, is typically prescribed for 5-7 days for respiratory infections, so taking it for only 3 days may not be sufficient to fully clear the infection,

I'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I've heard that consuming Kurkure and then taking Eno can be really dangerous and might even be fatal. Is there any truth to that? Should I be worried about mixing these two?

No, it's a myth that consuming Kurkure (a spicy snack) with Eno (an antacid) can be fatal; while it's true that the combination may cause discomfort, bloating, or gas due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can kill a human.

I'm dealing with a grade 2 varicocele and I'm really into my gym workouts. Is it okay for me to continue going to the gym? Also, are there any specific things I need to watch out for or avoid while exercising? On top of that, are there any medications or treatments I should consider to help reverse or manage this?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting or continuing exercise, as they may recommend specific exercises or restrictions based on your individual condition; regarding medications, Varicocele often requires surgical treatment, but pain relief medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be prescribed to manage discomfort, and hormone-regulating medications like clomiphene may be considered in some cases, but only under medical supervision.

I'm having this recurring issue where every time I sleep, whether it's night or just an afternoon nap, I wake up and immediately start sneezing. This sneezing goes on for about 12 hours, and sometimes it even turns into a full-blown cold that lasts for a day. I'm curious and a bit worriedwhy does this keep happening? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

The recurring pattern of waking up with sneezing and catching a cold, lasting 1-2 hours or sometimes a whole day, may be due to allergies, dust mites, or mold exposure while sleeping; consider using allergen-proof bedding, washing pillows and blankets regularly, and keeping your sleeping environment clean and dry to reduce allergen accumulation; also, try using a humidifier or saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and alleviate congestion.

I've been told by my doctor to get both an ESR and a CBC done. But a friend mentioned that ESR is actually a part of the CBC or Complete Hemogram. Can you clarify this for me? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I understand what tests I need.

ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is not a part of CBC (Complete Blood Count) or Complete Hemogram, although both tests are often ordered together; ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, indicating inflammation or infection, whereas CBC provides a broader analysis of blood components, including red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and platelets.

I'm really worried about my 23-year-old wife. She's in her 31st week of pregnancy, and her hemoglobin level is at 9.3. Earlier, her doctor had her on Lupiheme twice daily, but now she's switched to RicherCR and recommended two Revofer injections with NS as IV. I'm concerned if the Revofer injections are safe during pregnancy. We noticed her hemoglobin didn't really go up with just the tablets. Should we go ahead with the injections, or is there hope her levels might increase with the tablets? Can you help us out with some guidance?

Given your wife's low hemoglobin level (9.3) at 31 weeks pregnant, the doctor's recommendation to administer two Revofer (iron sucrose) injections with Normal Saline (NS) as IV is a common practice to rapidly increase iron levels; Revofer is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to monitor for potential side effects, such as allergic reactions or hypotension; since oral iron supplements (Lupiheme and RicherCR) haven't significantly increased her hemoglobin levels, IV iron may be necessary to prevent maternal and fetal complications associated with iron deficiency anemia.

I'm really anxious about making sure everything's safe before getting married and I want to be extra careful about not getting pregnant right now. Could you give me some advice on what precautions we should take? And, just in case, if I do end up getting pregnant, what should I do next? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

For premarital safe sex and pregnancy prevention, consider the following: use condoms (malefemale) consistently and correctly, explore other contraceptive methods like birth control pills, patches, rings, or IUDs after consulting a healthcare provider; if pregnancy occurs unintentionally, options include: 1) continuing the pregnancy and preparing for parenthood, 2) adoption, or 3) medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) within the legal timeframe and under medical guidance; prioritize open communication, mutual respect, and informed decision-making with your partner.

I'm really curious about the benefits of taking an hCG injection during the 5th week of pregnancy. Are there any potential downsides to it? I'm just looking to understand what impact it might have, both good and bad.

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) injection in the 5th week of pregnancy may help support embryonic development, maintain pregnancy, and prevent miscarriage, particularly in cases of threatened abortion or history of recurrent miscarriages; however, potential disadvantages or risks include multiple pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and allergic reactions, although these risks are relatively low when administered properly under medical supervision.

I'm dealing with some sexual issues and I'm really unsure about which route to take for treatment. Should I consider homeopathy or maybe ayurvedic methods? Really need some guidance on this.

Both Homeopathy and Ayurveda offer effective treatments for sexual health issues, but the best approach depends on your specific condition, medical history, and personal preferences; consider consulting a qualified practitioner from either field, as Homeopathy focuses on individualized remedies, whereas Ayurveda emphasizes holistic lifestyle changes, diet, and herbal supplements to address sexual health concerns.

I'm really worried because both of my feet have been swollen since yesterday. I've been working from home for the past two weeks because of the lockdown during the COVID-20 crisis. Even though I haven't injured myself, I'm also experiencing a burning sensation in my feet and in my urinary tract after urinating. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

The sudden swelling and burning sensation in your feet, along with urinary tract discomfort, may be related to reduced physical activity and prolonged sitting during the lockdown, potentially leading to poor circulation, fluid retention, and increased urine concentration; other possible causes include dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or underlying medical conditions like kidney stones, urinary tract infection,

I'm feeling a bit worried because a few weeks ago, I started experiencing this tingling pins-and-needles sensation in my feet and hands. It seems to happen in my feet mostly when I'm sitting cross-legged. I went to my doctor, did some tests for vitamin B12, vitamin D, and thyroid, and it turned out my vitamin D was really low, at 29 nmolL. I've been taking vitamin D tablets, but the tingling is still there when I sit a certain way. Plus, my hands get super dry at night. Could all these be related to the vitamin D deficiency?

The tingling sensation in your feet and hands, especially when sitting with legs crossed, and dry hands at night, may be partially related to Vitamin D deficiency, but other factors like poor circulation, nerve compression, or peripheral neuropathy might also contribute; continue taking Vitamin D supplements and consult your doctor to rule out other underlying causes and consider additional tests or referrals to a specialist if necessary.

The swelling on your lower left waist without pain could be due to constipation, water retention, or a possible kidney issue; consult a general surgeon for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, try increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and managing urine flow to alleviate symptoms.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with my recent diagnosis from Apollo Hospital. They found 5 ulcers in my digestive tract and said I have IBD, specifically Crohn's disease, along with cough variant asthma.

I would advise you to visit the ER, it is likely that your platelets have dropped down to a dangerous level. So kindly go to the ER and get evaluated at the earliest and take the necessary treatment for it. Drink pappaya leaf juice which will help increase the level of platelets.

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back.

I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?

Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions

We even tried two months of massage and Ayurvedic treatment, but there's no improvement. The swelling and pain are so bad she can hardly walk. What do you suggest we do next?

Most leg pain results from wear and tear, overuse, or injuries in joints or bones or in muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Some types of leg pain can be traced to problems in your lower spine. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation. .. . To relieve mild pain and swelling: Stay off your leg as much as possible, Apply an ice pack to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day, Elevate your leg whenever you sit or lie down, Try over-the-counter pain relievers .

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I just found out that the yolk sac is measuring 7.8 mm in diameter. I'm a bit worried about what this means for my pregnancy. Is this something I should be concerned about, and is there a chance the yolk sac size can return to normal?

A yolk sac diameter of 7-8 mm at 7 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy is slightly larger than expected, as the normal diameter is usually around 3-5 mm by the sixth week. This could potentially indicate a problem with the pregnancy, such as an early sign of miscarriage. However, it's essential to note that a single ultrasound measurement is not conclusive, and your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the yolk sac size and check for any other signs of a healthy pregnancy. consult gynaecologist

I've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

The pain in your right hip, radiating down to the leg and pelvic area, especially when sitting, could be indicative of sciatica, piriformis syndrome, or a herniated disc; consult an orthopedic specialist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and consider applying ice, stretching, and over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate symptoms in the meantime.

I'm really worried because I've been taking paracetamol every 5 hours like they told me, but it's the third day now and I still don't see any improvement in my dengue fever symptoms. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get this under control?

It takes some time for the fever to come down.Take paracetamol as prescribed and drink 3-4 litres of water everyday. Keep checking your platelet count regularly and if there is drastic fall in the count then immediately contact your doctor again for further advise

I'm 20 days postpartum after a normal delivery. My external stitches have dissolved, but the internal vaginal stitches haven't yet. How long does it typically take for these internal stitches to dissolve?

Typically, internal vaginal stitches from a normal delivery take around 4-6 weeks to dissolve, but can vary from 3-8 weeks; if you're concerned or experiencing discomfort, discharge, or other symptoms, consult your healthcare provider or obstetrician for a check-up and guidance.

I've been dealing with dizziness for a while now, like it started some years ago and it's happening again. I'm really worried about why this dizziness keeps coming back. Do you think it could be something serious? What should I do to figure out what's going on?

Recurring dizziness may indicate an underlying condition, such as inner ear problems (e.g., benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), migraines, or vestibular issues; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a neurologist to rule out any underlying conditions and develop a treatment plan to manage your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my wife's kidney function test results. Her SGPT is at 322, SGOT is 206, GGT is 235, and ALP is 379. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what we should do next?

The elevated liver enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, GGT, and ALP) indicate liver damage or inflammation, potentially due to hepatitis, fatty liver, or other conditions; schedule an immediate consultation with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss further testing (e.g., liver ultrasound, hepatitis screening), lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet, exercise), and possible treatment options to address the underlying cause.

I've got a small cut on my frenulum; its not bleeding, but its a bit painful. I'm just wondering, is it okay to apply Neosporin on it?

For a small, non-bleeding cut on the frenulum, apply gentle care: clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to promote healing and prevent infection; however, if pain increases, or you notice signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus), consult a healthcare professional or urologist for further guidance.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She recently had an ESR test, and her result came back as 40mmhr. Could this indicate that she might have a TB infection? Also, I'm curious to know what the normal ESR range is when there's an infection involved.

An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) result of 40mmhr is elevated, indicating inflammation or infection, but it's not specific to TB; ESR can be elevated in various conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancers; in infections, ESR can range from 20-100 mmhr, but a diagnosis of TB requires additional tests, such as chest X-ray, sputum smear, or PCR; consult a doctor to interpret the results and determine the next course of action.

I'm really worried about my 70-year-old mom. She's been on levatin ib tablets for her thyroid cancer treatment and recently we've noticed this white mucous discharge. It's been going on for about two weeks now, but there's no foul odor. She just had a PET scan two days ago and it didn't show anything unusual. She's also bedridden and uses diapers. Could this discharge indicate an infection or something more serious? Wouldn't the PET scan have picked up on anything serious if there was something wrong?

The mucous white discharge in your 70-year-old mother, who is bedridden and undergoing thyroid cancer treatment with Levatin IB, could be indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI), especially given her age, immobility, and use of diapers; although the PET scan didn't reveal any abnormalities, UTIs may not always show up on PET scans; it's essential to consult her doctor or oncologist about this new symptom, as they may prescribe antibiotics or order additional tests, such as a urine culture, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned about this report I got that mentions "fatty liver" and says something about "parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous." Could you explain what these terms mean and if they're something I should be worried about? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it and just need a bit of clarity on how serious this might be.

The medical term "fatty liver and parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous" indicates that your liver has accumulated excess fat and its tissue structure appears irregular and non-uniform on ultrasound imaging, which may suggest a condition like hepatic steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss the diagnosis, potential causes, and appropriate treatment plan.

I'm pregnant and I've heard that aspirin is safe to take. Can you tell me how many weeks I should be taking it? Should I take it for the entire 9 months or just part of the pregnancy? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Aspirin is not recommended for routine use during pregnancy, but low-dose aspirin (60-100 mgday) may be prescribed by a doctor for specific conditions, such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction, typically after 12-16 weeks of gestation and under close medical supervision; however, it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor, as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and other complications, especially in the third trimester.

I'm really confused and worried right now. Yesterday, I had a really bad stomachache and ended up going to the hospital. They gave me an injection for the pain, and after some time, I started feeling better. The doctor took an X-ray and showed me that I have three kidney stones, about 8mm each. He prescribed medicines for 5 days but recommended that I get laser surgery to remove the stones. I'm not sure if I should go through with the surgery. Is it possible to avoid surgery and get rid of the stones with just medication? I'd really appreciate your advice.

Given the size (8mm) and number (3) of kidney stones, laser surgery (lithotripsy) is a common and effective treatment, but it's not the only option; your doctor may consider medical expulsive therapy (MET) using medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stones naturally; however, the success of MET depends on the size, location, and number of stones, as well as your overall health, so it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits of both surgery and medical treatment with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I've had a fever for the past three days, with my temperature fluctuating between 98.6 and 102. I get really cold in the evenings, probably because of the sweating, and I'm worried it's making the fever worse since I don't change my shirt soon enough. I don't have any body, joint, or muscle pain, but my nose is a bit runny and my throat hurts slightly. Could this be something serious, or is there anything specific I should do to get better quickly?

Your symptoms, including fever, sweating, chills, runny nose, and slight throat pain, suggest a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold or flu; however, to rule out other causes like bacterial infections or pneumonia, consider consulting a doctor for a physical examination, and possibly, a rapid antigen test or chest X-ray.

Every time I take medicine, I feel better for a few hours, but then the fever just comes back. What could be causing this, and how can I get it under control?

Your recurring fever and cold symptoms, despite temporary relief from medication, may indicate a underlying infection, such as a viral or bacterial infection, sinusitis, or a secondary infection like pneumonia or bronchitis; consider consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, blood tests, and possibly a chest X-ray, to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-inflammatory medications

I'm going through a really tough time with my kidney stones and I have surgery set for March 9. Theyve got me on 800mg of ibuprofen, but I've been down with what they suspect is the flu for over a week now. My blood work showed AST levels at 103 and ALT at 158 on Feb 14, then a week later they were up to AST 135, ALT 182, with Alkaline phosphate at 126. My potassium levels are also low, and to add to it, I don't have a gallbladder, but an ultrasound didnt show anything unusual. I'm also struggling with obesity and trying to get that under control. It feels like it might just be fatty tissue. Any thoughts on all this?

Given your elevated liver enzymes (AST and ALT), low potassium, and upcoming kidney stone surgery, it's essential to consult your doctor about adjusting your ibuprofen dosage, as it may be exacerbating liver strain, and also discuss potential underlying causes, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is common in obese individuals, and ensure your potassium levels are monitored and managed to prevent complications.

I've had a few tests recently and I'm a bit concerned about my liver results. I got tested on March 16th and my SGOT was normal, but my SGPT was at 83.5, and my platelets were 79000. When I tested again on March 17th, the SGOT was still normal, but the SGPT went up to 87.8. I just had another test on March 19th. I've been trying to manage things by drinking 23 liters of water and taking some supplements like Liver 52, Gaumulive, and papaya leaf extract. Could you help me understand these results, and if there's something else I should be doing to lower the SGPT level?

Based on your test results, Munish, your SGPT (ALT) levels are elevated (83.5 and 87.8), indicating liver inflammation or damage, while your SGOT (AST) levels are normal; your platelet count is also low (79,000); continuing to stay hydrated with 2-3 liters of water and taking Liver 52, Gaumulive, and Papaya leaf extract may be helpful; however, consult your doctor to discuss the test results, potential underlying causes, and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

After piles surgery, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged sitting (more than 30-45 minutes) for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing; since you have a 5-hour journey home, consider the following: break the journey into smaller segments with regular breaks (every 1-2 hours) to stretch, walk, and rest; use a doughnut-shaped cushion or a pillow to reduce pressure on the surgical site; and follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions regarding travel and activity.

I'm wondering why my stool is always loose in the morning. Each day I drink a lot of water right after I wake up, and then have a cup of tea which really makes me want to go to the toilet. I usually drink water before sitting on the toilet to pass stool. Could all this be the reason for my loose stools? What can I do to have a more normal, smooth, and long stool thats easier to pass?

Drinking lots of water, especially on an empty stomach, and consuming tea in the morning may contribute to loose stools; to achieve normal, smooth, and well-formed stools, try the following: drink water in moderation, avoid drinking water immediately before passing stools, eat a balanced breakfast to help firm up stools, incorporate fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), exercise regularly, and consider reducing or avoiding morning tea or switching to herbal tea to minimize caffeine's laxative effect.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I was on Duphaston 10mg once a day from the 15th to the 28th day of my cycle. After that, I did a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. I even got a Beta HCG test on the 28th day, which was also negative, and another urine pregnancy test on the 32nd day, and it was negative again. Normally, my cycle is pretty regular at 27-28 days. So now Im wondering, how many days after stopping Duphaston should I expect my period to start?

After stopping Duphaston, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, as Duphaston is a progesterone medication that regulates menstrual cycles, and its withdrawal typically triggers menstruation; given your regular 27-28 day cycle, you may experience your period around 3-5 days after stopping Duphaston, but this can vary from person to person.

The red thread-like shape in your urine could be a blood clot, a urinary cast, or a thread-like piece of tissue; given the absence of pain, itching, or other symptoms, it's likely a harmless anomaly, but to rule out any underlying conditions, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or bladder issues, consult a urologist

I'm a 31-year-old male and I recently got a hyaluronic acid injection for chondromalasia. I've noticed a bit of swelling in my leg, from my knee down to my foot. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just part of the process? Also, how long does it usually take to see the full benefits of the injection?

Mild swelling in the leg from knee to foot after hyaluronic acid injection for chondromalacia is a common and temporary side effect, typically resolving within 1-3 weeks; the full therapeutic effect of the injection usually becomes apparent within 4-6 weeks, with optimal results often seen after 2-3 months, but individual responses may vary, so follow-up with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns.

I recently found out I have HSV1, but I tested negative for HSV2. I think my partner also has HSV1 and not HSV2. If he performs oral sex on me when he's not having an outbreak, is there a chance I'd end up with HSV2 genital herpes, or would it just be HSV1 genital herpes?

Since you and your partner both have HSV-1, the risk of transmitting HSV-1 to your genitals through oral sex is present, but you will not contract HSV-2; if infected, you may develop genital herpes caused by HSV-1, which tends to be less severe and less likely to recur compared to HSV-2.

I'm planning to donate blood and want to make sure everything is okay.

To check your HIV status, you should undergo a 4th or 5th generation HIV combo test, also known as a HIV DUO or HIV TRIO test, which detects both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and p24 antigens, providing accurate results from 18-24 days post-exposure; this test is safe, confidential, and usually free at government-approved testing centers or hospitals.

I recently got a haircut and accidentally ended up with a small cut from the barber's scissors. I'm really anxious about whether this might transmit HIV. Could scissors carry the virus like that?

The risk of HIV transmission through a minor cut from barber scissors is extremely low, as HIV cannot survive for long outside the human body, and the virus is not transmitted through casual contact or minor cuts; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting a doctor or getting a HIV test after the window period (3-6 months) for peace of mind.

For breastfeeding mothers, the World Health Organization recommends using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), such as Ulipristal acetate (not available in India) or Levonorgestrel (available in India as Unwanted-72 or similar formulations), which are safer than combined estrogen-progestin pills like i-pill; however, it's essential to consult your GYNAECOLOGIST before taking any ECP while breastfeeding.

Stopping progesterone supplementation at 17 weeks is a common practice, as the placenta typically takes over progesterone production by this gestational age; however, it's essential to follow your gynecologist's guidance, as individual circumstances may vary, and abruptly stopping progesterone can increase miscarriage risk in some cases.

A cervix length of 2.9 cm at 21 weeks is considered short, increasing the risk of preterm labor; your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage, progesterone supplements, or pelvic rest; exercises like Kegel's and pelvic tilts may be beneficial, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercises or treatments.

I'm just a bit worried after my abortion started on April 10th, and even after the medicine course, my bleeding didn't stop. When I visited the gynecologist, the ultrasound showed an incomplete abortion, and she advised going for a vacuum aspiration to prevent any infection. But honestly, I didn't want to go through that procedure, so I took more misoprostol for three days, around 400 mg twice daily, making it 8 mg per day. After that, I experienced more bleeding and cramping, but everything seems to have stopped after a week. There's no more bleeding, no cramping, and the only discharge I'm noticing is the usual natural white discharge. It's been 12 days now, and everything feels back to normal. So, I'm curiousdoes this mean my abortion is now complete and there are no leftover tissues? Could you give me some advice on this?

Although you've experienced bleeding and cramping after self-administering additional misoprostol, it's crucial to schedule a follow-up ultrasound with your gynecologist to confirm complete abortion and rule out any remaining tissue or complications.

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating since I was 18. I usually do it at least once a day, sometimes twice, and I've stayed healthy so far. But I'm starting to worry it might start affecting my life negatively, since I'm having trouble concentrating on other things. Is too much masturbation bad for me? And if so, how do I stop?

Excessive masturbation, defined as interfering with daily life, relationships, or work, can negatively impact mental and emotional well-being, despite physical health remaining unaffected; to stop or reduce masturbation frequency, consider these strategies: set realistic goals, identify triggers, practice self-care, engage in physical activity, seek professional help from a therapist or counselor, and consider mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, to manage stress and urges.

The doctor thinks it might be a reaction to the Meftal or maybe because she was dehydrated. She's doing better now, but should I be really concerned about this?

The seizure-like episode your mother experienced, likely due to a reaction to Meftal (Mefenamic acid) and dehydration, is a serious concern, as it may indicate a predisposition to seizures or a neurological issue; schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the incident, and consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance to prevent future episodes.

The recurring painful pimple in the butt crack, accompanied by hard stools, could be related to anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or perianal abscesses, potentially exacerbated by chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or irritation from coffee consumption; levocetirizine may also contribute to dry, hard stools, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist

I'm really worried about my mom because she's got these dark blue vein patches showing up on her thighs, and shes complaining of a bit of pain there. Could this be something serious? What could it possibly be?

The dark blue blood veins patches on your mother's thighs, accompanied by mild pain, could be indicative of varicose veins or spider veins, which are common conditions characterized by enlarged, twisted veins. These veins can become visible due to weakened valves, allowing blood to pool and cause discoloration. Other possible causes include hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, and age-related factors. It's essential to consult a general surgeon

Any advice on whether laser surgery is effective for this? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance.

Both laser surgery (pilonidal laser treatment) and traditional surgery can be effective for pilonidal sinus. However, laser surgery may not always fully resolve the issue, and there's a chance of recurrence. Traditional surgery, while more invasive, typically offers a higher success rate for complete recovery. It's best to discuss with your doctor to determine the most suitable option for your condition.

It sounds like there might be an infection at the incision site, which can happen after surgery.

I'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.

I'm just wondering if it's okay for someone who recently had an open surgery for piles to eat foods cooked in mustard oil. Also, what are the foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and drinks she should avoid after this surgery? Any home remedies that could help her with the recovery? And is there a way to treat piles permanently without having to go through surgery again?

Yes, a patient who has undergone open surgery for piles can consume mustard oil in moderation, as it does not directly affect recovery. To aid healing, she should avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods, as well as alcohol. Focus on a high-fiber diet with fruits like papaya and vegetables, stay hydrated, and avoid constipation by drinking plenty of water. For prevention without surgery, maintain a high-fiber diet, regular exercise, and avoid prolonged straining during bowel movements.

A TSH level of 18.24 suggests hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones. It's good that you've undergone comprehensive tests, including T3, T4, and anti-thyroid antibodies, to assess the cause. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a tailored treatment plan to bring your levels into balance.

I'm 32 and have a cyst in my left breast. After seeing a doctor, they said it's fibroadenosis and mentioned surgery as a treatment. I'm really unsure about having surgery. Are there other options besides surgery that I could consider? And if I do go through with surgery, what kind of impact might it have on me? I'm a bit worried about these next steps.

Fibroadenosis is a benign condition, and in many cases, surgery may not be necessary. Non-surgical treatments, such as monitoring, medications for pain relief, or changes in lifestyle, are options to manage the condition. If surgery is recommended, it is generally safe, but its important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your doctor for personalized advice.

Sabudana (tapioca pearls) can cause a spike in blood sugar levels due to its high carbohydrate content, so it should be consumed in moderation by people with type 2 diabetes. If you choose to eat it, limit the portion size to a small serving (around 14 cup) and monitor your blood sugar levels. Its also important to pair it with protein or healthy fats to help balance the glycemic impact.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection, which can cause itching, swelling, and a white, curd-like discharge.

I'm really struggling with anal fissures because of constipation for over a year now, and I've been in a lot of pain. I tried seeing a gynecologist, and they gave me some meds for five days, but nothing's changed. I'm usually on a routine in the morning with bowel movements, but it's been painful for so long. I've switched up my diet to include more fiber and fluids, but I still feel the pain. The only relief I get is from using Cremaffin Plus syrup at night and nifecaine cream around bowel movements, but if I miss the syrup even for a night, the pain is unbearable the next day. We're thinking about having kids, but I'm concerned if these medications might affect conception. How long can I keep using the syrup without any long-term effects? Is there a solid solution for my situation, and what can I expect if there's a treatment?

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic pain due to an anal fissure, which can be aggravated by constipation. Despite your efforts with diet and medications, if the pain persists, it might be worth seeking a second opinion, as other treatments like topical nitrates or botox injections could help. Regarding conception, Cremaffin Plus and nifecaine cream are generally safe for short-term use, but it's advisable to discuss them with your doctor during the planning phase. Treatment duration and improvement vary, but typically, with proper management, healing can occur in a few weeks to months.

It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm a bit worried because I did two beta HCG tests 48 hours apart, but the numbers didn't double.

Im just really anxious to knowdoes this mean I'm pregnant or not?

Yes, you are pregnant, as a yolk sac and a single intrauterine gestation have been visualized. However, the absence of a fetal pole and a suboptimal rise in beta HCG may indicate a need for close follow-up. A repeat scan in 7-10 days is recommended to confirm viability and check for the fetal pole.

I'm starting to worry because I've heard there's no cure for Herpes type 1. Can you help me understand why my levels are so high even after treatment, and is there anything else I can do?

A positive herpes simplex virus (HSV) IgG result with a COI of 18 indicates a past exposure to the virus, as IgG antibodies typically appear after the initial infection. While there's no cure for herpes, antiviral medications like acyclovir can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks.

I've been experiencing some mild itching on my scrotum, but it seems to get worse at night. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to really bother me. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I can do to fix it?

Mild itching on the scrotum, especially at night, can be caused by fungal infections like jock itch, irritation from sweat, or allergic reactions.

It sounds like your nipples are bruised and irritated from the rough handling. To ease the pain, avoid touching or rubbing the area and wear a soft, breathable bra.

Masturbation is a natural activity, but if it feels like an addiction and interferes with daily life, it can have emotional and psychological effects, such as guilt, anxiety, or reduced energy. To reduce or stop, its important to focus on healthy coping mechanisms, like exercise, hobbies, and managing stress, while seeking support from a counselor or therapist if needed.

The report concludes there's a chronic inflammatory process in both upper lung fields. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a little concerned and would appreciate your insight.

Based on the X-ray findings, the calcified fibronodular densities in both upper lung fields suggest scarring from a past tuberculosis infection, which is common after successful treatment.

Its possible that your father has COPD even without smoking, as other factors like exposure to pollutants or genetics can contribute.

They are typically not serious if stable and not causing symptoms but should be monitored with regular imaging and lung function tests. Consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions or active disease.

I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath, and it seems to come out of nowhere but then just disappears after a little while. Could this be a sign of asthma or something else I should be worried about?

Sudden shortness of breath that resolves on its own could be related to asthma, but it can also be caused by other conditions like anxiety, panic attacks, or cardiac issues, so it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist or an allergist, for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm feeling this uncomfortable pain right under my right breast, kind of like a bruise, especially when I press on it. It's right on the rib below my breast. There's no lump or swelling, but it's just been bothering me a bit. I haven't had any injuries or anything that might explain why it's hurting. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

The pain under your right breast, feeling like a bruise, could be related to costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone), intercostal muscle strain, or even gastrointestinal issues like gallbladder disease or acid reflux, so it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I recently had a chest X-ray and it came back saying that there are prominent bilateral hilar shadows. I'm a bit worried and would really like to understand what this means. Could you explain it to me?

Bilateral Hilar Shadows being prominent on your chest X-ray typically indicates enlargement or prominence of the lymph nodes in the hilar region of the lungs, which can be caused by various conditions such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or other inflammatory or infectious diseases, and further testing or evaluation by a specialist is usually required to determine the underlying cause.

I took an HIV 1 and 2 antibodies screening and an HIV 1 and 2 p24 combo test 86 days after I was exposed. The results came back negative. Can I be sure that's conclusive at this point?

A negative HIV 1&2 antibodies and p24 combo test after 86 days (approximately 3 months) of exposure is highly suggestive of non-infection, but not conclusive. Here's why: Reasons for Caution 1. Window period: HIV antibodies may take up to 3-4 months to develop. 2. False negatives: Rare, but possible due to laboratory errors or test sensitivity. 3. Viral load: Low viral load may not trigger antibody production. Next Steps 1. Repeat testing: Schedule another HIV test 3-6 months after initial exposure.

I'm trying to understand the best sperm count and motility needed for a successful IUI. My husband's count is only 3 million and his motility is 20 before washing, but it goes up to 40 after. Is this considered good for IUI? We've already tried four times, so I'm wondering if there's still a chance for success on the fifth try.

For IUI success, optimal semen parameters are: count > 10 million, motility > 32%, and post-wash motility > 40%; your husband's count is low, but motility is adequate after washing, and while chances are lower, you may still consider a 5th IUI attempt.

I'm Arindam, 22 years old, and I've been really struggling with some ongoing digestive problems. Back in August 2015, I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia, and before that, in January 2014, I had a superficial stomach ulcer. Now, I'm dealing with a loss of appetite, acidity, and stool problems, plus I feel nauseous after every meal for about 20 to 30 minutes. I'm really tired all the time and always feel like my stomach is full. It's gotten so bad that I can't keep up with my studies. Do you have any advice on how I can start feeling better?

Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your acidity.. Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals... If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas. Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines

I just found out my TSH level is 9.25, but I read that the normal range is around 5.5. I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any medication I should consider? By the way, I'm breastfeeding my 8-month-old baby. I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health and my ability to care for my child. What would you recommend?

A TSH value of 9.25 is slightly above the normal range, indicating potential hypothyroidism. Since you're breastfeeding, it's important to consult your doctor to assess whether medication is needed. They may recommend further thyroid function tests and suggest a treatment plan that is safe during breastfeeding.

For optimal effectiveness, you should take the 150 mg ranitidine capsules about **12 hours apart**. This means taking one dose in the morning and another in the evening, ideally after meals or as directed by your doctor. If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to check back with your doctor for specific timing instructions.

I'm curious about drinking water and sleeping; does drinking water before taking a nap or going to sleep at night affect digestion? How long should I wait between drinking water and sleeping to avoid any issues?

It is generally fine to sleep after drinking water, both during the day or at night, as long as you don't drink excessive amounts right before lying down. Ideally, it's best to wait 30 minutes to an hour after drinking water before going to bed to avoid discomfort or indigestion. Drinking moderate amounts of water does not typically cause digestive problems, but drinking too much right before sleep can sometimes lead to bloating or frequent urination during the night.

I'm having trouble holding a pen properly and writing because my index finger doesn't seem to grip it right. My finger itself seems fine, though. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing difficulty with fine motor control, which could be due to issues with coordination or muscle strength, even if there's no apparent problem with the finger itself. I recommend consulting a specialist, such as a neurologist or occupational therapist, who can assess the underlying cause and suggest exercises or treatments to improve your grip and writing ability.

I just ate a mango and then realized I accidentally consumed 23 small white worms. I'm a bit worried now. Should I be concerned about any health issues from ingesting them? Is there anything specific I should do or keep an eye out for after this?

Ingesting small white worms while eating a mango is generally not a cause for immediate concern, as these are likely fruit flies or larvae that may be present in the fruit. However, its advisable to monitor for any signs of discomfort, like stomach pain or nausea. If any symptoms develop, it's best to consult a doctor for further advice.

I'm a bit worried about my current ovulation induction cycle. Last time, my follicles grew just fine and reached 19mm, but now my dominant follicle went from 14mm down to 12mm. Is it normal for follicle size to decrease in a cycle? What's causing this to happen?

Yes, it is possible for follicle size to reduce in certain cycles. This can happen due to factors like hormonal fluctuations, poor response to stimulation, or changes in the body's environment. While a reduction in follicle size, such as from 14mm to 12mm, isn't typical, it can occur and may not necessarily indicate a problem. It's important to follow up with your doctor to understand the specific reasons for this change.

On top of that, my periods have been irregular. I'm really starting to worry about what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing these issues?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of vertigo and weakness, which could be related to several factors, including hormonal changes given your irregular periods. Since youve started taking Vertinstar, it may help with the dizziness, but I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation, as these symptoms could indicate an underlying issue like dehydration, blood pressure fluctuations, or an inner ear problem.

The presence of a "water ball" in the stomach could refer to fluid accumulation, possibly indicating a cyst, ascites, or another condition. It's best to consult a **gastroenterologist** first, as they specialize in digestive system issues, including the stomach. If it's related to gynecological causes, the gastroenterologist may refer you to a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Growing a beard at the age of 15.7 does not directly affect your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which usually close around the age of 18 to 21. Puberty typically starts between ages 10 and 14 for girls and 12 to 16 for boys, during which growth and physical changes occur.

I'm having this issue with dizziness, like when I get up from watching TV on the sofa, I feel really light-headed. It's been going on for about six months now. My diet seems fine, and I recently checked my blood pressure, which was 90 over 110, and they said that's normal. But if my blood pressure is okay, then what's causing this dizziness? I really need to figure out what's going on and how to treat it.

It sounds like you may be experiencing **orthostatic hypotension**, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, causing dizziness. Even though your BP is within a normal range, this condition can still occur. Its important to stay hydrated, rise slowly from sittinglying positions, and avoid sudden movements. If the symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out other causes, such as inner ear issues or blood sugar imbalances.

I'm really worried about this pain I've been having.

It's been about 5 days now, and I'm getting concerned that I might have injured my spleen or if it's just a muscle tear. Could you shed some light on what this might be?

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles around your lower left rib cage, especially since the pain worsens with movement. While a spleen injury could cause pain in the area, its less likely unless there's significant trauma, such as a direct blow. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor for an evaluation.

It doesn't last long, just a few seconds, but sometimes it hurts too. It's really starting to freak me out. Any idea what might be causing this?

The burning sensation you're experiencing, occurring at different times and locations, could be related to nerve irritation or inflammation, such as **nerve compression** or **neuropathy**. However, it's important to rule out other conditions like muscle strain or even stress-related issues. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and to address your concerns.

Hi Naresh, fatty liver grade 1 can often improve with lifestyle changes.

Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are key in managing and potentially reversing fatty liver. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for personalized guidance and monitoring.

The symptoms your mother describes could indeed align with **Meralgia Paresthetica**, which occurs due to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.

In the meantime, measures like avoiding tight clothing, maintaining a healthy weight, and physical therapy may help alleviate symptoms.

If the pain in your leg is mild and seems related to the coughing itself, it may be a temporary strain or discomfort. However, if the pain is severe, accompanied by swelling, redness, or other unusual symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice to rule out more serious conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I had a cerclage done at 20 weeks, and now I'm thinking about heading back to my hometown. The doctor mentioned it might be okay to travel after 28 weeks, but I'm still feeling unsure. I'm considering a long car trip of about 45 hours sometime during my 28th to 32nd week. Do you think that's safe?

Traveling between 28-32 weeks is generally considered safe for most women, but since you have a cervical cerclage, its important to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider. If your doctor gives you the go-ahead and you are feeling well, taking necessary precautions during travel (frequent breaks, hydration, proper seatbelt use) should be fine. Avoid traveling if you're experiencing complications, and always have a backup plan for medical assistance.

I'm 34 now and will be 35 when I give birth. I just had my 20-week anomaly scan and two soft markers showed up: Echogenic Intracardiac Focus and Bilateral Renal Pelvis measuring 4.1mm and 3.5mm. I went for a fetal echo and thankfully they didnt find any other issues. I also did the NIPT and it came back low risk. Im kinda worried and want to understand more about the Bilateral Renal Pelvis. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?

Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF): Likely a benign finding, not a concern especially with the normal fetal echo and low-risk NIPT. Bilateral Renal Pelvis Dilatation: Mild dilation (4.1mm and 3.5mm) is usually not a major concern and often resolves after birth.

I've been having some trouble with my breathing lately and went for a lung X-ray, which came back normal. I also had an endoscopy, and the report mentioned issues like 13rd lower oesophagitis, lax cardia, and pangastritis. It also noted mild erythema in the stomach's fundus, body, and antrum. I'm trying to understand what all this means. Is this something that might lead to cancer? And how could something going on with my stomach be causing me shortness of breath? I'd really appreciate any insight or advice you might have.

A gastroenterologist may need to monitor your condition, and if necessary, perform further investigations such as a 24-hour pH study to assess acid reflux or endoscopic ultrasound to evaluate stomach issues more thoroughly. gastritis and acid reflux can contribute to your symptoms of shortness of breath, these conditions are manageable with the right medications and lifestyle changes. Addressing your stomach issues through medication and lifestyle modifications should help alleviate your symptoms over time.

I'm experiencing vomiting every 34 days when I brush my teeth. This has been happening for about 34 weeks now. At first, the vomit was yellow, and I assumed it might be related to a bile digestion issue, so I didn't see a doctor. However, more recently, it's been coming out white with a really strong sour taste. Is this something common with bile problems, or could it be something else?

My husband has been having a really bad pain near his anal area. We noticed what seems like a skin tag. It's making it hard for him to sit comfortably and also, it becomes quite problematic during bowel movements. Could it be something more serious, or just a skin tag causing this much trouble? What should we do from here?

Warm Sitz Baths: Soaking in warm water for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and inflammation, especially if hemorrhoids or an anal fissure is the cause. Topical Ointments: Over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams or anal pain relievers (e.g., hydrocortisone or lidocaine) can provide temporary relief. However, these should be used cautiously and not for long periods without consulting a doctor. High-Fiber Diet: To avoid constipation and straining, encourage your husband to consume a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and drink plenty of water. This can help soften stools and reduce pain during bowel movements. Pain Relief: If the pain is severe, he can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to manage the discomfort. Avoiding Prolonged Sitting it would be best to consult a proctologist or a general physician to get an accurate diagnosis.

I'm having some trouble with gastric issues and I'm trying to figure out if itopride is a safe option. Also, are the modes of action for itopride and levosulpride the same or are there some differences I should be aware of?

itopride is primarily used for gastrointestinal motility issues and has fewer neurological side effects. Levosulpiride is also used for gastrointestinal issues but can affect mood and has stronger sedative effects at higher doses due to its impact on dopamine and serotonin.Both drugs block dopamine D2 receptors, but Itopride also has cholinergic effects, stimulating acetylcholine release to aid digestion. This may make Itopride somewhat more specific for treating GI conditions. Levosulpiride, in addition to its prokinetic effects, has a neuropsychiatric effect, which makes it more effective for treating conditions like anxiety or depression at higher doses

_Broken Condom and Plan B: Assessing Pregnancy Risk and Next Steps_ Given the situation, here's a summary of the risks and recommendations: _Pregnancy Risk_ 1. _Low risk_: Although the condom broke, your partner had not ejaculated, and he had urinated multiple times after his last ejaculation, reducing the likelihood of sperm being present. 2. _Pre-cum risk_: Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, but the risk of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low. _Plan B Effectiveness_ 1. _High effectiveness_: Plan B (levonorgestrel) is highly effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. 2. _Repeated use_: Although you've taken Plan B multiple times, its effectiveness remains high. However, it's essential to consider alternative birth control methods to avoid frequent emergency contraception use. _Next Steps_ 1. _Wait for your period_: Monitor your menstrual cycle and wait for your period to confirm that you're not pregnant. 2. _Consider alternative birth control_: Discuss alternative birth control methods with your partner, such as hormonal contraceptives, IUDs, or condoms with a higher failure rate. 3. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider to discuss your birth control options and any concerns you may have. _Important Notes_ 1. _STI risk_: Although you used protection, it's essential to consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Discuss STI testing with your healthcare provider. 2. _Regular check-ups_: Regular health check-ups and open communication with your partner are crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and addressing any concerns that may arise.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 65 and had open heart surgery last June. He's also been dealing with some CLVA on his left side for about 8 years. Just last week, he started having swelling in his legs. Can you help me understand what's causing this?

Swelling in the legs could be due to several factors, including heart-related issues such as heart failure, especially after open-heart surgery. It could also be related to his history of CLVA (Chronic Left Ventricular Aneurysm), which can affect circulation. I recommend getting a medical evaluation to determine the exact cause and ensure proper treatment.

My puppy is really young and going through the teething phase. It seems to bite everything, including my hands and feet. Just a day ago, it tried to bite me, and when I moved my hand away, its teeth scratched me, causing a bit of bleeding. On the same day, it also scratched me while playing, and it drew blood again. I know the puppy's mom is a stray and she wasn't vaccinated, but the puppy hasn't had any other contact with outside animals except for her. Do you think I need a rabies shot because of these scratches? Should my siblings be concerned if they've played with the puppy and were bitten, even if there wasn't any bleeding? It's been two days since the scratch. What should I do?

Rabies transmission from a scratch is very unlikely, especially if there was no saliva contact with the wound. If the puppy seems healthy and is not exhibiting symptoms of rabies, you do not need a rabies shot at this time. Your siblings are at low risk as long as they were not bitten deeply or exposed to saliva on open wounds. It's always safer to clean the wounds well and seek advice from a doctor or local health authorities if you are still concerned.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and recently moved to stay with my mom. My new doctor here advised me not to take Ecosprin, but my previous doctor had prescribed me Ecosprin 150 mg after my double marker test showed something about FGR before 37 weeks with a 1 in 643 ratio. Now, I'm confused about whether I should continue taking Ecosprin or not, and if I do take it, when should I stop? I'm really unsure about what to do and would appreciate your guidance.

It's understandable to feel confused. Given your doctor's advice to stop Ecosprin, its important to follow the current recommendation. The initial prescription of Ecosprin might have been due to specific risk factors, but if your new doctor feels it's not necessary, trust their expertise. You can clarify the exact timing for stopping the medication during your next appointment.

The doctor's concerns warrant further investigation. Consult a pediatrician or a pediatric nephrologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out kidney issues. Allergy testing and growth monitoring can also help identify underlying causes. Request diagnostic tests like urinalysis, ultrasound, or blood work to determine the cause of the puffiness under your son's eyes.

I'm really concerned about my friend's situation because his wife's vaginal area is too tight and it's making sex really difficult for them. He reached out to me for advice and I suggested they try a water-based lube since I had read about it online somewhere, but I'm not sure which one is the safest or most effective without side effects. What would you recommend for them?

Taking expired Augmentin may reduce its effectiveness, but it's unlikely to cause harm. However, as a breastfeeding mother, it's essential to consider the potential impact on your baby. Augmentin is generally considered safe for breastfeeding, but expired medication may affect its safety profile. Consult your healthcare provider or a lactation expert for personalized advice on continuing breastfeeding.

I've been having this shifting back pain for a while now. Sometimes it's below my right shoulder, other times it's above my waist or even right on the waist. It's not unbearable but definitely bothersome. I've tried using Crocine Advance, Move ointment, and Fast Relief but they haven't really helped. I usually take Bcosule Z and Atenol50, and for the past month, I've been on Ostocalcium. Should I be worried or try something different? What could be causing this shifting pain?

It sounds like your back pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues, posture, or even early signs of bone health concerns like osteoporosis. The calcium you're taking is a good step, but a full evaluation by a doctor (likely a orthopedic specialist, or neurologist,physiotherapist) is recommended to get to the root of the problem and receive appropriate treatment. Make sure to continue with gentle stretching, focus on posture, and consider physical therapy if the pain continues. If the pain worsens or new symptoms develop, its important to consult a specialist for further evaluation.

The combination of elevated TLC and ESR suggests inflammation or infection, and the pain could be related to that.

I'm dealing with hemorrhoids for about a year and a half now, and I'm really eager to find a solution. Could it be an issue if I start going to the gym or playing sports? Any advice would be great!

Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day..... Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol. Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling. With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week.

It sounds like you have a medium-sized, hard, and painless lump in your armpit that has been present for quite some time. While it's reassuring that it isn't red or painful, it's important to get it checked by a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and ensure proper care.

The persistent fever despite various treatments and normal test results suggests an underlying infection or inflammatory condition. The elevated CRP (43mgL) and mildly abnormal LFTs indicate ongoing inflammation.

I'm really confused about my H. pylori infection results. I've been dealing with gastritis for about three months now. After finishing two rounds of antibiotics, the first test still showed a positive result for H. pylori. I just had an endoscopy and the RUT test came back positive too. But then, on the other hand, the histopathology report from six biopsy samples says there's no H. pylori colonization. Which one should I trust?

It seems there is a discrepancy between the RUT (rapid urease test) and the biopsy results. The RUT is positive, suggesting H. pylori presence, while the biopsy shows no colonization. In such cases, the biopsy results are generally considered more accurate as it involves a deeper tissue sample. It would be advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation, as other factors could influence these results.

I'm really worried about my brother. He had his first seizure about 6 years ago and it turned out to be a small non-cancerous tumor in his brain. They operated on him back then and hes been on medication ever since. We were told the meds would stop any future seizures, but hes had three in the last year. The first two happened because he accidentally missed his meds, but the third one is a mystery because hes been following his medication routine perfectly. I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these seizures. Could you help me figure out all the possible reasons why this is happening?

I've been having some trouble lately. Whenever I do physical activity, I end up pulling muscles like my hamstring, and I feel like my joints, bones, and muscles are just weak. Its frustrating because I'm experiencing so much pain all overlike my low back, fingers, elbows, knees, you name it. A couple of months ago, I visited an orthopedic surgeon, and after some tests, it turned out I had high uric acid levels, so they gave me medicine for three weeks. But it didnt really help, and I'm still dealing with these issues. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

In my opinion your uric acid levels have not become normal so you need to continue with the medication for a month and den you need to get it checked once again.. as you are saying that you are getting pain everywhere in the body you must also go for calcium vitamin d and vitamin b 12 levels checked I think that will be deranged as well... so if they are deranged then you need to take medications for that...and stop masturbating on a regular basis... becoz body becomes weak if anybody does it daily...get well soon take care...

I'm really worried and need some advice. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and we tested on the 34th day, which came out positive. On the 35th day, the doctor administered HCG 5000, and the following day I noticed some spotting. I rested and the spotting reduced, but after receiving another HCG 5000 yesterday, the spotting returned after 4 hours. During a consultation with a doctor online, I was told it's normal and nothing to worry about, but the amount of spotting has increased now. Is there any way to stop this bleeding? It's our first child, and I'm really anxious about this situation. What should I do?

Spotting in early pregnancy can be common, and the HCG injections are often given to support the pregnancy. However, if the bleeding increases or you feel concerned, its important to follow up with your doctor for further guidance. Resting, staying hydrated, and monitoring the situation is key, but dont hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider if you notice any significant changes. Stay positive, and take care!

I've been struggling with masturbation since last year and I'm really wanting to stop. It feels like it's getting worse. Can you help me with some advice or tips on how to quit?

Understand the Root Cause: Reflect on why you're engaging in this behavior. Is it due to stress, boredom, loneliness, or another underlying issue? Understanding the triggers can help you address them more effectively. Set Healthy Boundaries: Gradually reduce the frequency of the behavior. If you're engaging in it daily, you could try reducing it to every other day, then every few days, until you reach a frequency you're comfortable with. Develop other healthy habits: Engage in activities like exercise, hobbies, reading, or socializing to redirect your energy into positive outlets. Mindful Sex Practices: Practicing mindfulness during sexual activity can help you be more present with your partner, enhance emotional connection, and improve overall satisfaction. Incorporate Stress-Relieving Practices: Exercise: Regular physical activity can reduce stress, anxiety, and excess energy, which might otherwise contribute to habitual behaviors. Meditation or Breathing Exercises: These can help you manage urges and develop a greater sense of self-control. Therapy: If you're feeling guilty or conflicted about your sexual habits, speaking with a therapist or counselor (especially one experienced in sexual health or addiction) can provide valuable support. Seek Professional Help: If you're finding it difficult to reduce or control the behavior, a sexual health professional, therapist, or counselor can provide specific strategies and support."

My wife has been dealing with TB since February 2017 and she's been on 3 FDC treatment. A few months after starting, we went through a biopsy and she continued with medication. Now she's having some trouble with her legs. Have you seen something like this before or is it common for TB medication to cause leg issues? What should we do next?

Its important to inform her TB specialist about the leg symptoms. They can determine if the issue is a side effect of the medication or if it's related to something else. Evaluate for Peripheral Neuropathy: If the leg pain or weakness is due to nerve damage (which is common with Isoniazid), they might consider giving Vitamin B6 supplementation (to help with neuropathy), or they might change her medication regimen. Nerve or Bone Imaging: If there is suspicion that the TB has affected her bones or joints, further imaging (like X-rays, MRI, or bone scans) may be needed. Blood Tests: To check for any liver toxicity or vitamin deficiencies (such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, or calcium).

Initially, after just taking Telma AM 40, there was swelling in the feet, and the doc switched to TELMA 40 which was alright for a while, but then my blood pressure got high again. Now they've got me on TELMIKIND 40 H S and NUMLO5 for the past 8 days. But after taking them, I start feeling really weak and lethargic just a few hours later. Is this normal side effect or should I be concerned about this change?

I'm dealing with some pretty bad pain in my calf muscles and knees and I've been trying allopathy for 8 months now without any real relief. My MRI, Doppler, and rheumatoid factor came back okay. I've also been dealing with low vitamin D levels. Can homeopathy help with this pain? Is it actually effective for these kinds of issues?

While homeopathy may provide relief for some people, especially when traditional treatments have been ineffective, its essential to first address your vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, vitamin D supplementation, physical therapy, and appropriate lifestyle changes should be your primary focus for managing muscle and joint pain. If you choose to explore homeopathy, it can work well as a complementary treatment alongside conventional medicine, but you should not solely rely on it for immediate relief from chronic pain. Consulting a professional homeopath or doctor for a personalized treatment plan is advisable.

Hey, so about a week ago, I accidentally got a piece of guava stuck in my windpipe. At first, some of it came out, and I didn't really feel like there was anything left. But now, for the past two or three days, it feels like something is still there, and it's starting to hurt. I looked it up online and came across the Heimlich maneuver.

Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

I'm feeling a bit anxious about my upcoming hair transplant surgery because of my recent blood test results. They found my Bilirubin level was 2, and then my SGOT and SGPT were 102.70 and 136.2, which led to the doctor refusing to proceed with the surgery. They mentioned I need a certificate from an MD in medicine, but I'm confused about if these levels are really that worrying. Can you give me some guidance on whether these results are considered moderate? I'm not sure if it's safe to go ahead with the surgery or not. Looking for some help on what I should do next.

SGOT and SGPT are double normal level, it willl be difficult to give physician consent for surgery.

I'm experiencing belching on an empty stomach and feeling nauseous really early in the morning, around 4 a.m., usually when I'm sleeping. Plus, I've been having loose stools about once a week, though they're not super liquidy. Seven months back, I had an endoscopy that showed gastritis in my stomach's antrum and bile stasis, but it wasnt H. pylori. An ultrasound also showed multiple small peripheral follicles in both ovaries. I'm really scared that this could be something serious, like cancer. Can you help me figure out if I should be worried?

I've done a beta hcg test because my periods are late, and the result came back as 0.861 mIUmL. I'm confused about whether this is positive or negative, as my doctor mentioned it should be above 5 mIUmL. Why might this low value show up? I'm really stressed about it and could use some help understanding what's going on.

These are Hormonal Fluctuations so the result is negative for pregnancy. Typically: Non-pregnant levels: < 5 mIUmL. Positive for pregnancy: 5 mIUmL. Low beta hCG can sometimes appear in women of reproductive age, but it doesnt indicate pregnancy.

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep.

Oddly, when Im sitting or sleeping, it sometimes feels like nothings wrong. If I poke that spot though, the pain is pretty severe. Ive been walking slowly to avoid putting pressure on it, but now thats messing with my knee. What could this be? Any advice on what I should do?

I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?

Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe. No specific gap is required, but consider: 1. _Digestion time_: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion. 2. _Blood sugar levels_: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to: - Dizziness - Lightheadedness - Shivering To be cautious: 1. Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing. 2. Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system. No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.

Increasing height after growth plates have closed (around 18-25 years old) is challenging. Available medications and supplements claim to increase height, but their effectiveness and safety are questionable: 1. _Growth hormone injections_: Only prescribed for growth hormone deficiencies, not for general height increase. 2. _Ashwagandha_: May help with overall health, but no conclusive evidence supports its height-increasing claims. 3. _Speed Height capsules_: Lack scientific evidence and may contain untested ingredients.

Missing the 3rd shot and taking it later with the 4th shot might slightly increase the risk of rabies, but the overall risk is still low. The prompt washing of the wound with soap and immediate initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) reduced the risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends completing the full PEP course, even if delayed. Monitor yourself for any symptoms of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbness, for the next few weeks. Consult your doctor for guidance and reassurance.

Consult your doctor before adding flaxseeds to your diet, especially with kidney problems. Flaxseeds are high in oxalates, which can worsen kidney stone formation or exacerbate existing kidney issues. However, flaxseeds also have anti-inflammatory properties and omega-3 fatty acids, which may benefit kidney health. Your doctor can help determine if flaxseeds are safe for your specific kidney condition. If approved, start with a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) and monitor your body's response. Regularly follow up with your doctor to adjust your diet and treatment plan as needed.

So, I got an abdominal ultrasound and the report says my endometrial cavity is empty. Does that mean I'm not pregnant? I'm a bit confused about what this really means.

Severe burning, itching, and bleeding in the anus can be debilitating. Piles (hemorrhoids) can be treated without surgery, but it's essential to consult a doctor (proctologist or gastroenterologist) for proper diagnosis and treatment. Medications like stool softeners, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory creams can help alleviate symptoms. Lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements, can also help. In some cases, non-surgical procedures like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or infrared coagulation may be recommended. Complete cure without surgery is possible, but it's crucial to work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized treatment plan.

I'm dealing with this problem where every time I have a bowel movement, it always feels like I'm not done. It's like, I eat or drink something, and then I immediately feel like I have to go to the bathroom again. The stools are really mushy, sometimes thin, and not in that regular bulk shape. Plus, they come with this burning sensation when passing through. I've tried taking ofloxacin oridazole tablets, and that seems to stop these frequent bathroom trips for a bit. Also, I get cramps under my left rib cage, kind of where my stomach is, and I tend to burp after eating or even just drinking water. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my body?

I'm struggling with these holes from past pimples on my face, and they just won't seem to go away. I've also got these whiteheads on my nose that are really stubborn. I'm really curious if there are any home remedies you could recommend to help with these issues. Would love to hear what you think!

You can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. This can help improve skin texture and promote collagen production to fill in the indentations over time. To get rid of whiteheads on the nose, you can try using products containing salicylic acid. A good option is Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, which contains salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce whiteheads. Use it as a face wash once or twice daily. Additionally, you can make a homemade face mask using honey and cinnamon. Mix one tablespoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Honey has antibacterial properties, while cinnamon can help improve blood circulation to the skin. Remember to patch test any new products or ingredients on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions before applying them to larger areas of the face.

Can parents have sex if their child has chicken pox? Are there any risks involved or precautions we should take?

Parents can still have sex when their child has chicken pox, but it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Chicken pox is highly contagious, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the child's rash and any fluid from the blisters. It is also important to practice good hand hygiene before and after any contact with the child. As for safe ways for sex, it is advisable to wait until the child is no longer contagious, which is usually once all the blisters have crusted over. Using condoms can also help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. If either parent has not had chicken pox before or has not been vaccinated, they should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.

I'm really worried about my friend. She had quite a bit to drink last night like 6 vodka shots and a few whiskies. She vomited then, which seemed like just from drinking too much. But now, it's the next day and she can't keep any food down. Whenever she tries to eat, she pukes it all up. She insists she's okay, but it's really concerning. Is this something to be worried about? Could it be serious?

Your friend may be experiencing symptoms of alcohol poisoning, which can be very serious. Since she is unable to keep any food down since this morning, it is important to seek medical help immediately. She may need intravenous fluids to rehydrate and medications to help with nausea and vomiting. Please take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.

I've been having really bad pain inside my right rib cage for a few days now, and it's been so intense that I can't really sleep at night. I went to see some doctors nearby and got an X-ray of my rib, but they couldn't figure out what's causing it. There's been no injury, no vomiting, and no cough. The pain gets a lot worse whenever I inhale, sneeze, laugh, or even yawn. What could be going on?

To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the rib cage muscles can also help. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

My mom's been having some pain in her upper abdomen for the past few days. It only seems to happen when we press around that area or if she does some unusual movements. I'm really worried about what's going on there. Could it be something serious or should we just wait it out?

Your mother may be experiencing some musculoskeletal pain in her upper abdomen. This type of pain can be due to muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend she take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a bit concerned after an ultrasound during my wife's health checkup showed a small gallbladder polyp. The doctor mentioned it's around 15mm and said not to worry too much, but I'm still wondering about the implications. Can you suggest a good doctor in Bangalore to consult for a second opinion or further advice? Additionally, I'm curious about what role homeopathy treatment might play and if there are any reputable homeopathy doctors you recommend.

A small gallbladder polyp of 15mm size is generally considered to be low risk for malignancy. However, it is important to monitor it regularly as there is a small risk of it developing into a cancerous growth over time. In Bangalore, you can consult with a Gastroenterologist or a Hepatobiliary Surgeon for further advice on the management and monitoring of the gallbladder polyp. As for homeopathy treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support its efficacy in treating gallbladder polyps. It is always recommended to follow evidence-based medical treatments for such conditions. If you still wish to explore homeopathy, you can consult with a qualified and experienced homeopath for personalized treatment options.

I've been having nipple erection, and they seem really puffy. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or something like that. Whenever I wear t-shirts, my nipples stick out and it's super embarrassing. A pulmonologist suggested I take Augmentin 625mg twice a day and Rantac 150mg both after eating. I'm just wondering if this is the right treatment for this problem. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

Nipple erection and puffy nipples can indeed be symptoms of gynecomastia. However, Augmentin (625mg twice a day) and Rantac (150mg after food) are not typically used to treat gynecomastia. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Rantac is used to reduce stomach acid. For gynecomastia, the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. It is important to follow up with your pulmonologist or a specialist in gynecomastia for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm dealing with ongoing dysentery and constipation issues and nothing I've tried is working. Spicy foods just make it worse by causing a lot of acid and more dysentery. Even meds like O2 aren't helping. I've started using Aloe Vera juice and green tea to see if it makes a difference. I'm feeling really weak and am losing weight. What else can I try or what should I do to improve my situation?

For chronic dysentery and constipation, you can try taking Loperamide (Imodium) for dysentery and a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) for constipation. In addition to Aloe Vera juice and green tea, you can also try probiotics like Align or Culturelle to help with your digestive issues. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet with plenty of fiber. If you continue to feel weak and lose weight, it is important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with gas issues for the past three years, and it's been pretty uncomfortable. I keep burping a lot, and if I press on my stomach, more gas comes out. I've noticed mucus in my stool toosometimes it's like a yellow jelly, sometimes it's white, or sometimes there's nothing at all. On top of that, I experience mild stomach and abdominal pain and constipation. A few months back, it was this weird mix of loose stools and then suddenly hard stools. It's kind of normal now, but still, sometimes it's hard, and when I pass stool, I get even more gas and mild upper stomach pain. There's also some bloatingnot always after eating, but just randomly. And occasionally, with the yellow mucus, there's this long worm-like thing about 3 to 5 inches long. Any idea what might be going on with me? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastrointestinal issues such as gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even a parasitic infection. To address these symptoms, I recommend the following: 1. For frequent burping and gas: You can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg tablets as needed to help relieve gas and bloating. 2. For mucus in stool and abdominal pain: You can try a probiotic supplement like Align Probiotic Supplement to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. 3. For constipation and irregular bowel movements: You can try a gentle laxative like MiraLAX (Polyethylene Glycol 3350) to help soften stools and promote regular bowel movements. 4. For possible parasitic infection: It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper testing and treatment with medications such as Albendazole or Mebendazole, if necessary. Please note that these recommendations are general in nature and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm kind of worried because, for the last couple of days, every time I go to the bathroom, there's been a lot of mucus in my stool. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of inflammation in your intestines. I recommend taking a probiotic like "Align" once a day to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. Additionally, you can try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like Mesalamine to reduce inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a diet high in fiber to help with bowel movements. If the symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to regulate your bowel movements.

I've been having these sudden blackout episodes lately, and it's a bit worrying. Sometimes when I stand up too quickly, everything just goes dark for a few seconds. Just the other night, I got out of bed to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, then I blacked out and collapsed for a moment. Do you know why this might be happening or what I should do about it?

These symptoms could be indicative of orthostatic hypotension, where a sudden drop in blood pressure occurs when changing positions. To help manage this condition, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and slowly changing positions to allow your body to adjust. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Fludrocortisone to help regulate your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.

I accidentally swallowed a housefly the other day and my friend told me that it could lay eggs inside my body. I'm really worried about this. Is there a chance that something bad could happen? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned or not?

Accidentally swallowing a housefly is unlikely to cause any harm. The acids in your stomach will most likely break down the fly. There is no need to worry about the fly laying eggs in your body. Just drink plenty of water to help flush it out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms, please consult a doctor.

I've recently had some blood work done and found that my ALT and AST levels are off, even though everything else seems to be within the normal range. I don't have any stomach pain or anything unusual like that, so I'm a bit confused about what might be going on. Last month, I took Augmentin 625mg, Emanzen D, and Pan 40mg for five days, and about a year ago, I was on some medication for hair treatment that lasted around four months, though I can't remember the name of it. Could you help me understand what might be causing these abnormal numbers?

Based on your test results showing elevated ALT and AST levels, along with your history of recent medications such as Augmentin 625mg, Emanzen D, and Pan 40mg, it is possible that drug-induced liver injury may be a contributing factor. Additionally, the previous medication for hair treatment taken one year ago could also have played a role. To address the elevated liver enzymes, it is important to discontinue any potentially offending medications. In this case, Augmentin 625mg, Emanzen D, and Pan 40mg should be stopped. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your liver function.

I'm really worried about my friend who smokes a lot. Do you have any suggestions on how he could quit smoking? Also, he doesn't eat much and is really thin. What can he do to gain some weight in a healthy way?

To help your friend quit smoking, I recommend using Nicotine replacement therapy. He can try Nicorette gum or patches to help reduce cravings. Additionally, he can try prescription medications like Chantix or Zyban to help with withdrawal symptoms. It's also important for him to seek support from a counselor or join a smoking cessation program for additional help and motivation. To address his concern about not eating much and being thin, he can try consuming calorie-dense foods like nuts, avocados, and nut butter. He can also try drinking protein shakes or smoothies to increase his calorie intake. Additionally, he should focus on eating frequent small meals throughout the day to help with weight gain.

Got my blood work back, and it turns out my iron levels are on the low side, measuring 41 ugdl when it should be between 60 to 150 ugdl. Should I be worried about this, and what steps can I take to improve it?

Low iron levels can lead to anemia and other health issues if left untreated. To treat this, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take Ferrous Sulfate tablets. It is important to take it on an empty stomach for better absorption. Also, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and fortified cereals. Additionally, consuming vitamin C-rich foods or supplements can help enhance iron absorption. Regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and adjust the treatment as needed.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've been hearing a lot about this detoxification therapy in Ayurveda. Is it something I really need to consider? When's the right time to go for it, and what's the process actually like? I'm curious how effective it really is, and if it comes with any benefits or potential side effects. Just trying to get a clear picture, you know?

In modern medicine, detoxification is not typically necessary for everyone, as the body has its own natural detoxification processes. However, if you are looking for a detoxification therapy, you can consider using over-the-counter products like Milk Thistle or Dandelion Root to support liver function. These can be taken as directed on the packaging for a short period of time. For a more structured detox program, you can try a cleanse kit like Renew Life Total Body Cleanse. This kit usually includes capsules or powders to be taken over a specific period, along with dietary recommendations. The benefits of detoxification may include improved energy levels, clearer skin, and weight loss. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these benefits is limited. As for side effects, common side effects of detoxification programs may include fatigue, headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. It's important to stay well-hydrated during any detox program and to consult with a healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

I'm 35 now and really don't want to take any risks when it comes to my baby. Could you help me figure out the best steps to take from here?

The NT scan is a risk assessment tool, not a diagnostic test.

I'm feeling really confused and worried right now. I had a fever and took a paracetamol tablet at night, then ended up sweating a lot. I thought it might be some reaction to the tablet, but the next morning I woke up feeling really cold. I decided to go to the hospital, and the consultant told me its because of viral fever. Ive always thought that the main symptom of a viral infection would be a runny nose. Am I wrong about that? I got a blood test done, and the results were all normal, but the doctor still wants me to come back in two days to check my platelets. What do you think is going on?

I've been getting these sharp, quick pains in my lower chest, kinda like a prick behind my rib near the chest area. I've gone through a whole bunch of tests like the treadmill test, ECG, coronary calcium scoring, and lots of blood tests for heart stuff. Also did an endoscopy and got tests on urine, serum, stool, and more blood work, but nothing's been pinpointed by the doctor yet.

So, I got this tattoo and I'm worried about the risk of infection. I went for an HIV test on the 12th day after exposure, using the HIV 12 ELISA method, and the result was negative, with a score of 0.415 SCo.

Your son is due for the IPV and Hib vaccines, but unfortunately, they're not available right now. Don't worry, I've got some advice to help you navigate this situation. Firstly, *delayed vaccination is not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either*. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids receive the Hib vaccine at 12-15 months, and the IPV vaccine at 12-18 months . Since your son is already 2 weeks overdue, *you should consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action*. They may recommend alternative vaccination schedules or provide guidance on when the vaccines are likely to become available again. In the meantime, *make sure your son is up-to-date on all other recommended vaccinations*. This will help protect him from other serious diseases. Lastly, *don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a vaccination specialist for further guidance*. They can provide personalized advice and help you make informed decisions about your son's vaccination schedule.

Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?

pregnancy test with two lines, one faint, is generally considered a *positive result*. Here's why: 1. *Two lines indicate pregnancy*: Even if one line is faint, the presence of two lines suggests that the test has detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. 2. *Faint line may indicate low hCG*: A faint second line can be a sign of low hCG levels, which is common in early pregnancy. 3. *Test sensitivity*: Different pregnancy tests have varying levels of sensitivity. A faint line may be more noticeable on a more sensitive test. To confirm your result: 1. *Retake the test*: Try another pregnancy test, preferably with a more sensitive brand, to confirm the result. 2. *Wait a few days*: If you're testing too early, wait a few days and try again. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: If you're still unsure or have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

I'm currently in the hospital for a bad pain I was having, and they found a 5.7mm stone near my kidney. It shrank to 3mm, and now I'm thinking about switching to homeopathic treatment.

I've been noticing a slight whitish scum that builds up under the foreskin around the base of the head of my penis.

I'm not sure what this is, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment or something specific I should do about it. Can you offer some advice?

Leaving the Hospital and Homeopathic Treatment_ 1. _Medical supervision_: Since you've been hospitalized for severe pain and diagnosed with a kidney stone, it's essential to complete your treatment under medical supervision. 2. _Stone size reduction_: The reduction in stone size from 5.7mm to 3mm is a positive sign.

I'm really struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for a week now and the pain's becoming unbearable. I first tried smily cream for a couple of days but it didn't help at all. Then a friend gave me some kenacort gel and I've been using that for a couple of days along with taking a B complex capsule. Just today, an MBBS friend of mine suggested I try pantop 40 and BBiotic capsule, plus apply zytee gel. I started this new treatment tonight, on the 15th of September.

I'm really worried about my brother. He got diagnosed with Typhoid because his fever just wouldn't go down, and it turns out his Typhoid level is pretty high at 162. He's been on medication since Thursday, and today is Monday, but the fever hasn't completely disappeared yet. During the day, the temperature seems normal, but in the evening or afternoon, it shoots up to 99. I'm trying to figure out how many more days it's going to take for this fever to totally go away. Is this normal? I read somewhere that Typhoid fever can take about 15 days to subside entirely is that true? Today marks the 5th day he's on the medication for Typhoid. He's taking Enteromycetin 250 capsules three times a day and omnacortil 5, also three times daily. Does this medication sound right, or could it be that it's not strong enough, and that's why it's taking longer? Could you please help out and let me know what you think?

I'm a bit worried because my wife is about six weeks pregnant based on her last menstrual period, although the doctor mentioned it might be earlier. We had an ultrasound today and the gestational sac and yolk sac are visible, but the doctor wasn't sure if the fetal pole is there. I've got the ultrasound picture with me. Does it look like there's a fetal pole in this image? Can you let me know what you think?

Based on the ultrasound image, a fetal pole should be visible around 5-6 weeks gestation. However, without visually examining the image, it's challenging to determine visibility. To clarify, consult the ultrasound specialist or radiologist who performed the scan.

I recently had sex for the first time and I'm feeling a bit worried. Whenever I pull back the skin on my penis, it hurts, and I'm also concerned because it seems smaller than average. I think there might be a specific condition related to this. Could you tell me what might be going on and if theres anything I should do about it?

A study was done on it according to it the average length of a flaccid penis was 9.16 cm, whereas the average lengths of a flaccid stretched penis and an erect penis, respectively, were 13.24 and 13.12 cm, In addition, the average circumference was 9.31 cm for a flaccid penis and 11.66 cm for an erect penis... In addition to this concern, referred to as small penis anxiety, some men who are preoccupied and severely distressed with the size of their penis may be diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder...Penile shortening is a phenomenon that is associated with certain medical and surgical conditions. These conditions include prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy, Peyronie's disease and congenital anomalies. There is also some evidence that erectile dysfunction may be an independent risk factor for shortening... Standard measuringtechniques are necessary to determine the results of penile lengthening procedures...you need clinical examination to deal peeling issue...consult urologist they will examine and explain you about treatment modalities

I've got an sgpt level of 56, and it seems like all the other tests in my master check-up came back normal. Should I be worried about this? My doctor mentioned that I don't need any medication for the increased sgpt level, but I'd like to understand if there's anything else I should be considering.

An SGPT level of 56 is slightly elevated, but your doctor's reassurance suggests it's likely not a cause for concern; mildly elevated SGPT can be due to various factors like fatty liver, muscle damage, or alcohol consumption; since your other test results are normal, your doctor may recommend monitoring your SGPT levels periodically and making lifestyle adjustments, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol intake, to help bring your SGPT levels back to normal.

I've been having issues with acidity and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have milk, honey, chapati bhaji, rice, and idli sambhar regularly. Can you help me figure out if any of these foods could be contributing to my acidity problems and if I should avoid them?

To control acidity, consider avoiding or reducing the following items from your daily diet: none of the listed foods are inherently acidic, but chapati bhaji (if the bhaji is spicy or made with acidic ingredients) and Sambhar (if it contains acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus) might exacerbate acidity; however, the primary culprit is likely something not listed; also, consider avoiding or reducing other common acidity triggers like citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.

It feels like someone is harming my body, and it's really frustrating not being able to identify who might be doing this. I'm convinced it's something external causing harm and even have proof to support my concerns. Can you offer any guidance or suggest what steps I can take to address this situation?

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis for the past year and someone suggested that I should see a pulmonologist. I'm not sure what I should do next. Could you help me understand if seeing a specialist is the right move here? Or is there something else I should be considering?

Visiting a Pulmonologist is an excellent step in managing your allergic bronchitis; before the consultation, maintain a symptom journal, note down your medical history, and prepare a list of questions to ask the doctor; expect the Pulmonologist to perform a physical examination, review your test results, and possibly order additional tests like spirometry, peak flow, or allergy tests to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medications, lifestyle modifications, and avoidance of allergens.

I'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having. It seems like whenever I think about or even just see anything related to lovemaking, there's a sticky, watery fluid that comes out of my penis. Even when I talk to my girlfriend, I notice it happening. I haven't gotten married yet, and this problem is honestly scaring me a bit. Is there any treatment for dhatu rog and premature ejaculation that you could suggest?

Your symptoms suggest a possible condition known as involuntary semen leakage or seminal emission, often associated with dhatu rog; to address this, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner or a sexologist for personalized guidance; in the meantime, try practicing stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety and emotional arousal; also, consider herbal remedies like Ashwagandha, Shilajit, or Kapikacchu, which may help improve semen quality and reduce leakage, but always consult a healthcare professional before adding new supplements to your regimen.

I'm 22 and have been dealing with external hemorrhoids for over a month now. I've tried controlling my diet and exercising regularly, but whenever I have to go to the bathroom, they pop out, and then they go back on their own after a while. It's really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of them for good? And is this common at my age?

Developing external hemorrhoids at 22 is uncommon, but not unheard of; factors like genetics, constipation, poor diet, and inadequate exercise may contribute; to manage and potentially remove hemorrhoids permanently, consider: increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, avoiding prolonged sitting, and practicing good bowel habits;

Hey, I've been dealing with some issues for the past few years and I'm a bit worried about what's going on with my body. It started about four years ago with dark yellow urine and a burning sensation, sometimes it even looked cloudy and foamy. I'm not sure if it's dhatu rog or maybe a urine infection. Then after a year, I began to experience leg pain, muscle aches, and back pain, especially after sitting or standing for a long time. Now, things have gotten worse. My legs hurt all the time, and sitting on a chair makes it worse. I also feel a lot of rectum pressure, leg aching, and discomfort in the genital area, particularly between my testicles and the anus area with pain and burning. My urine feels oily too and there's constant rectum pressure, plus I often feel the need to pee urgently within 10 minutes. There's also this feeling of stomach fullness. When I sit on the toilet, my legs ache, my testicles get tight and swollen, and my penis feels very small with a burning sensation. Could this all be a vitamin D issue or something else? Any advice you can give would be helpful.

Kindly get your urine test done . and get back with result

I've been feeling really off lately. My head gets super heavy whenever I start talking, though it's weird because it doesn't actually hurt. Sometimes my hands start shaking, and I've been feeling pretty dizzy too. During conversations, my mind just goes completely blank for a bit, which is really worrying. There's also a bit of neck pain happening. I've been on some tablets for about 20 days now, but I'm not seeing any improvements.

I'm really worried about my situation. It seems like my left fallopian tube is blocked while the right one is open. I went through 18 months of AKT for the blockage issue, and then we tried IUI at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for three cycles. During the second cycle, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy that lasted two months, but after that, the IUI just hasn't worked for us. Could you guide me on what should be the next step in treatment, besides IVF?

Considering your history of unilateral fallopian tube blockage, 18 months of Akt treatment, and three unsuccessful IUI cycles after an ectopic pregnancy, the next steps to consider before IVF could be: Laparoscopic tubal cannulation or tuboplasty to clear the blockage in the left fallopian tube; Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation to assess and potentially clear the blockage; or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with ovarian stimulation using Gonadotropins or Letrozole to enhance egg production; consult a fertility specialist to discuss these options

I'm dealing with a pretty low vitamin B12 level, around 72Pgml, and I've been having some back and shoulder pains. Sometimes I even feel a bit dizzy. Could this be linked to the low B12? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I've been struggling with this issue for months. Whenever I stand for a long time or walk a bit, I get this weird sweaty feeling around my anus, and I notice stains on my underwear that match that pattern. Also, when I poop, there's this white foam in it, and it just won't go away. The doctor had me get a perianal ultrasound, and everything looked fine, probably because they only checked the outside. They also mentioned it wasn't a fistula. I'm at a loss about what to do next. Can you help me figure this out?

Your symptoms, including the sweat-like sensation, anal staining, and white foam in stool, suggest a possible anal gland or fistula issue, despite the external perianal ultrasound being normal; consider seeking a second opinion from a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist for a more thorough evaluation, including a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or MRI, to rule out conditions like anal fistula, abscess, or proctitis, and to develop an effective treatment plan.

People say it might be due to anxiety, and yeah, I do worry about my career and family like everyone else. I don't eat junk food, and I drink about 3-4 cups of tea a day max. I'm just really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Could it really be just anxiety, or should I be looking into something else?

My dad's been dealing with this really painful crunch feeling in his stomach that sometimes moves to his back and ribs. He's tried seeing a lot of doctors, but nothing seems to help much. At first, he was on mabicon, rifagut, rablet, and pregeb M 75, but now he's taking drotin and nexpro 20. Sadly, none of this seems to be working, and the doctors are now suggesting an endoscopy. I'm really worried and was wondering if we should go ahead with the endoscopy or try something else. Are these medicines he's taking okay? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Itching After Masturbation: Possible Causes and Solutions_ The itching sensation you're experiencing after masturbation could be related to several factors. Before we discuss medication, let's explore possible causes: 1. *Allergic reactions*: You might be allergic to your own semen or lubricants used during masturbation. 2. *Skin conditions*: Existing skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can be triggered by masturbation. 3. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to itching sensations. 4. *Nerve stimulation*: Masturbation can stimulate nerves, causing itching or tingling sensations. _Medication and Treatment Options_ To alleviate the itching, consider the following: 1. *Antihistamines*: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin) can help relieve itching and reduce allergic reactions. 2. *Topical creams*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can soothe itchy skin. 3. *Moisturizers*: Keeping your skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers can help reduce itching. _Lifestyle Changes and Precautions_ 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wash your hands and genital area before and after masturbation. 2. *Avoid harsh soaps*: Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers to minimize skin irritation. 3. *Reduce frequency*: Consider reducing the frequency of masturbation to see if the itching subsides.

ESR Levels* 1. *Initial high ESR (120)*: This indicates inflammation, which can be caused by various conditions, including infections, arthritis, or cancer. 2. *Reduced ESR (20)*: This suggests that the inflammation has decreased, which is a positive response to treatment. *Possible Causes* 1. *Arthritis*: The initial high ESR and back pain could be indicative of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. 2. *Infections*: Infections like tuberculosis or osteomyelitis can cause high ESR and back pain. 3. *Cancer*: Although less likely, cancer (e.g., multiple myeloma) can cause high ESR. However, a single ESR test is not conclusive for cancer diagnosis. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult her doctor*: Discuss the reduced ESR and any changes in symptoms with her doctor. 2. *Further testing*: Her doctor may recommend additional tests (e.g., blood tests, imaging studies) to determine the underlying cause of the initial high ESR and back pain.

Greenish stools can be normal in breastfed babies, but in formula-fed babies, it might indicate a change in gut bacteria or a reaction to the formula. Possible reasons for greenish stools include: 1. *Introduction of a new food or formula*: This can alter the gut microbiome, leading to changes in stool color. 2. *Foremilk-hindmilk imbalance*: If the baby is not getting enough hindmilk (rich in fat), it can cause greenish stools. 3. *Gastrointestinal infection*: Although less common, a viral or bacterial infection can cause changes in stool color. *Changing Formula* Before switching formulas, consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. They can help determine if a formula change is necessary. If you do switch to Nan Pro, monitor your baby's stool color, consistency, and overall health. Some babies may take time to adjust to a new formula.

The pain doesn't last long, maybe just 3 or 4 seconds, but it's accompanied by a burning sensation sometimes too. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Aciloc 150mg and Digene Syrup_ 1. _Aciloc 150mg_: Ranitidine, the active ingredient in Aciloc, is an H2 receptor antagonist that reduces stomach acid production. 2. _Digene Syrup_: Digene is an antacid and anti-flatulent medication that helps neutralize stomach acid and relieve symptoms of indigestion. 3. _Combination therapy_: Taking Aciloc 150mg before meals and Digene Syrup after meals may help alleviate symptoms of indigestion and acid reflux. _Pantocid 40mg vs. Ranitidine_ 1. _Pantocid 40mg_: Pantoprazole, the active ingredient in Pantocid, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production. 2. _Ranitidine_: Ranitidine is an H2 receptor antagonist that reduces stomach acid production. 3. _Comparison_: Pantocid 40mg (Pantoprazole) is generally considered more potent and longer-acting than Ranitidine. However, the choice between the two medications depends on individual factors, such as the severity of symptoms, medical history, and potential interactions with other medications. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a healthcare professional_: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of treatment. 2. _Follow prescribed dosage_: Adhere to the recommended dosage and administration instructions for Aciloc 150mg and Digene Syrup. 3. _Monitor symptoms and side effects_: Keep track of your symptoms and any side effects experienced while taking these medications.

I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?

It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.

I'm really concerned about my father-in-law, Mr. Sukesh Das, who's 61. He's been diagnosed with erosive antral gastritis after his recent endoscopy. The local doctor has prescribed some medicine for 14 days, but we're still unsure about the situation and would love a second opinion. What exactly is erosive antral gastritis, and is it something we should be really worried about?

I've been feeling a bit off lately and a friend mentioned it might be a vitamin D deficiency. Is there a specific test I can take to check for this? And what should the ideal levels be if I'm looking at the results?

Yes, a simple blood test, specifically the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) test, can diagnose vitamin D deficiency; the ideal level is generally considered to be between 30-50 ngmL, with levels below 20 ngmL indicating deficiency, 21-29 ngmL indicating insufficiency, and above 50 ngmL potentially indicating toxicity

My wife's just entered her first month of pregnancy and we're curious about whether it's safe for us to have sex. If it is okay, could you please suggest what positions might be safe during this time?

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy! In the first month, it's generally safe to have sex unless advised otherwise by her doctor. Comfortable positions, like side-lying or her on top, can help avoid pressure on the abdomen. Always communicate with your wife and check with her doctor for any specific concerns.

I'm really worried because I took vaginal misoprostol two days ago, and there's still no bleeding. Is this normal? Should I be thinking about taking more, or is there something else going on?

If there's no bleeding after taking misoprostol, it could be due to individual variations in how your body responds to the medication. It's important not to take more without consulting your doctor, as they can assess your situation and determine the best course of action.

I've been feeling this heaviness in my right cheek and I'm not sure why. I also have neck pain and sometimes a bit of pain in my head. It's making me feel really anxious. I occasionally get this weird sensation on my lips where it feels like palpitations, usually once or twice a month. I'm confused about which type of doctor I should reach out to. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I'm worried about my right cp lungs being blunted. I've had a cough for the last 30 days. Can you recommend a good medication for this?

A blunted right CP lung could indicate some underlying condition, like pleural effusion or lung inflammation. Given your persistent cough for 30 days, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Medications like antibiotics or inhalers may be prescribed based on the diagnosis, but a proper assessment is needed to determine the right treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about the price of my uncle's medication. He's been using Stamlo T to control his BP, but it costs INR 100 per strip, which seems quite steep. I found another medicine, OZOTELAM, that reportedly has the same composition and only costs INR 20 per strip. Why is there such a big price difference between these meds if they have the same ingredients? Also, would it be safe for my uncle to switch to OZOTELAM since it's more affordable, and is the composition truly identical, or am I missing something? Looking forward to your advice.

I'm trying to figure out if it's okay to take calcium, iron, B12, and D vitamins with milk in the morning, afternoon, and night. I've heard that taking calcium with milk might reduce its effectiveness. Is that actually true? What do you suggest I do?

You can take calcium, iron, B12, and vitamin D supplements, but consider the following: take calcium supplements with water, as milk can interfere with its absorption; take iron supplements with vitamin C (e.g., orange juice) to enhance absorption, but avoid taking iron with milk or calcium; take vitamin B12 and D supplements with milk or food to enhance absorption; space out your supplements throughout the day to minimize interactions and maximize absorption.

I'm a bit concerned about the mild fatty infiltration of my liver and the multiple lipomas found in my recent ultrasound. Also, my blood test showed Bilirubin at 1.58 mgdL, SGPT at 57 UL, and SGOT at 36 UL. I drink alcohol about once a week and my doctor prescribed ME12 OD tablets due to a low vitamin B12 level of 232 pgmL. Could taking this B12 supplement affect my liver condition negatively? Would love your advice.

The prescribed ME12 OD tablet, containing vitamin B12, is unlikely to have a negative impact on your liver condition, as vitamin B12 deficiency can actually exacerbate liver damage; in fact, correcting the deficiency may help improve liver function, and the mild fatty infiltration of the liver and elevated SGPT levels may benefit from vitamin B12 supplementation.

I recently had my uterus polyp removed on the 23rd, and I started my period after three weeks. It's now the fourth day, and I feel like I'm still bleeding, but I'm not sure if it's regular period flow. Normally, my cycle used to last 5 days, but for the past two months, it's extended to 7 days. Typically, by the fourth day, my period would be much lighter, but now there's still a flow, and I'm uncertain if it's just part of the period or actual bleeding. I'm currently taking antibiotics and infection medication after the procedure. Is this normal after having a DC for polyp removal, or should I check in with my gynecologist?

Its normal to experience some changes in your cycle after a D&C or polyp removal, as your body is still recovering. However, if the bleeding seems heavier than usual or if you're feeling uncertain, its always best to consult your gynecologist to ensure everything is healing properly and to rule out any complications.

I'm really worried and a bit confused. Is there any chance of pregnancy from non-penetrative sex? We only rubbed, and he didn't have a full erection or ejaculate. But now she's experiencing some brown spotting after 19 days. Her periods are usually irregular, and she hasn't had them for the past two months. We did a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. Could you help us understand what's going on?

While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible to get pregnant from non-penetrative sex, as pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm; however, given the circumstances you described, pregnancy is unlikely; the brown spotting 19 days after the incident could be related to various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or other medical conditions; considering her irregular periods and missed periods for two month

Try taking an over-the-counter antacid or anti-gas medication, drink warm water, and avoid heavy or spicy foods. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor to rule out other causes.

Elevated MPV indicate an increased production of platelets, which may be linked to various conditions like inflammation, bone marrow disorders, or iron deficiency anemia. Elevated PDW indicates variability in platelets similar to an elevated MPV.Elevated PLCR could be linked to increased platelet production or bone marrow disorders. It can also be associated with inflammatory conditions.A low vitamin D level like this can lead to weakness, and fatigue. It can also affect immune system functioning. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to numbness in your hands and legs and may also be related to muscle weakness.Low HDL cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. HDL is the good cholesterol that helps clear LDL (bad cholesterol) from your arteries. A low level might be influenced by diet, lifestyle, or genetic factors.Based on the physicians assessment, you may be referred to a specialist such as an endocrinologist, hematologist, neurologist, or dietitian. nubness can be due to vit b12 and vit d deficiencies .

Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.

I'm having trouble sleeping and it's really starting to stress me out. Can you give me some advice on how to get a good night's rest? I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

I understand your desire to increase your height. However, it's essential to understand that height growth is largely determined by genetics and hormone regulation during puberty. _Age and Height Growth_ At 19 years old, your growth plates have likely closed, making it more challenging to increase your height significantly. _Realistic Expectations_ While it's unlikely to grow 3 inches (5'7" to 5'10") at your age, you can focus on maintaining good posture, exercising regularly, and ensuring adequate nutrition to support overall health. _Tips for Optimal Posture and Health_ 1. _Exercise regularly_: Focus on stretching, yoga, or Pilates to improve flexibility and posture. 2. _Maintain good posture_: Be mindful of your posture throughout the day, avoiding slouching or leaning. 3. _Eat a balanced diet_: Ensure you're getting adequate nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, and protein. 4. _Get enough sleep_: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support overall health.

A "salmonella typhi TH = 240" means a high level of antibodies against *Salmonella typhi*, indicating a possible ongoing or recent infection. Your "TO = 60" suggests a lower antibody level, but it does not exactly represent a 1:40 ratio. Given your very high fever, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

Fibroadenomas are typically benign and often dont require treatment unless they cause symptoms or grow. Since your tumor has remained stable at 1.8 cm for 3 years, it's generally safe to monitor it. However, I recommend a follow-up ultrasound or consultation with a specialist to assess any changes and discuss your options for management.

I'm really confused and a bit worried about something I've been experiencing for the past year. I've been having this floating sensation and imbalance when I walk. I got an MRI done for both my brain and cervical spine, but they came back normal. What's weird is that sometimes it goes away for about 15 days and then just comes back. It's driving me insane! I dont have headaches, blurred vision, hearing issues, high blood pressure, or diabetes. It all started with this spinning feeling when I got up from bed, but now it mostly feels like imbalance. I consulted an ENT doctor who said it's not BPPV. I've also been to 3 or 4 neurophysicians and tried some medications but they didnt help. One of them suggested it might be anxiety, but I'm really lost here and dont know what to do next. Could you please suggest any other possibilities or any other steps I should take?

Sure, I came across my medical report and it mentions terms like "marginally enlarged", "diffusely increased echogenicity", and "small hypoechoic sol with irregular wall" in my liver. There's also something about "tiny cystic changes" and a similar "smaller sol" at the left lobe. I'm really anxious about what all of this means. Are these findings something to be concerned about, and what kind of follow-up or action should I take?

The ultrasound report suggests that you have two liver lesions: a 46mm x 25mm x 29mm hypoechoic solid mass with irregular walls and tiny cystic changes in the right lobe, and a smaller 21mm x 15mm x 19mm solid mass in the left lobe; these findings may indicate benign liver lesions, such as hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia, but further evaluation, such as a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan, and consultation with a hepatologist or radiologist are necessary to determine the nature and significance of these lesions.

Hey, I'm 34 weeks and 2 days along, and my ultrasound shows a cephalic presentation with the placenta anterior. This is my fourth pregnancy. My first baby was a C-section at 33 weeks, second was a full-term SVD, and my third was a C-section at 36 weeks. It's been eight years since my last pregnancy. I'm currently on insulin with a dosage of 5050, 20 units in the morning and 10 at night. Do you think it's possible for me to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery this time around? I'm really curious about what would be safest for me and the baby.

Given the symptoms of cold, cough, and vomiting for 3 days, along with the medication already taken (antibiotic and cough syrup), here are some suggestions: 1. *Consult the pediatrician again*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with the pediatrician to reassess the child's condition and adjust the treatment plan if needed. 2. *Monitor vomiting*: If vomiting persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure the child stays hydrated with small, frequent sips of an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte). 3. *Cough syrup usage*: Continue administering the cough syrup as directed by the pediatrician. However, be aware of the potential side effects, such as drowsiness or stomach upset. 4. *Antibiotic course*: Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed by the pediatrician, even if symptoms seem to improve before finishing the medication. 5. *Supportive care*: Provide comfort measures, such as: - Offering a warm, comforting drink, like tea or broth. - Using a humidifier to relieve congestion. - Encouraging rest and relaxation. 6. *Watch for warning signs*: Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following: - Difficulty breathing - Severe vomiting or diarrhea - Fever above 104F (40C) - Severe headache or stiff neck - Refusal to drink fluids

I had a fissurectomy about a year ago, and lately, I've noticed that my stools are really thin. I was looking this up online and came across some scary stuff about rectal cancer. Could this be related or something I should be worried about?

It's understandable to be concerned, but thin stools alone are not necessarily a sign of rectal cancer.

I recently had a collision while playing football, and unfortunately, I didn't wear my guard. I got hit on my shin bone, and now it's swollen and painful to walk. I've had shin bone injuries in the past, but this one is the worst. What can I do to help it heal?

Considering your obstetric history and current pregnancy, I'll provide a brief assessment: *Obstetric History* 1. *Previous deliveries*: 1st C-section at 33 weeks, 2nd SVD (spontaneous vaginal delivery) at full term, and 3rd C-section at 36 weeks. 2. *Gap between 3rd and 4th pregnancy*: 8 years. 3. *Current pregnancy*: 34 weeks 2 days, cephalic presentation, placenta anterior. *Key Considerations* 1. *VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section)*: Given your previous C-sections, VBAC is a possibility, but it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider. 2. *Gestational diabetes*: You're on insulin (5050, 20x10), which indicates gestational diabetes. This condition may impact delivery options. 3. *Placenta anterior*: This placental position may increase the risk of placenta previa or postpartum hemorrhage. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a healthcare provider*: Discuss your obstetric history, current pregnancy, and delivery options with your healthcare provider. 2. *Assess VBAC eligibility*: Your healthcare provider will evaluate your suitability for VBAC based on your medical history and current pregnancy. 3. *Develop a birth plan*: Create a birth plan that outlines your preferences for delivery, pain management, and postpartum care. 4. *Regular prenatal check-ups*: Continue with regular prenatal check-ups to monitor your pregnancy and adjust your birth plan as needed.

I'm really worried because my total blood protein is 8.6 and my doctor didn't mention much about it. I'm also being referred for a high calcium level, and the doctor is thinking it might be a hyperparathyroidism issue. Is the high protein something to be concerned about too? Should I ask more about it?

That's an interesting habit! Eating raw tea powder can have both positive and negative effects on your health. _Possible Negative Effects_ 1. *Excessive Caffeine Intake*: Raw tea powder contains high amounts of caffeine, which can lead to: - Sleep disturbances (insomnia, daytime fatigue) - Increased heart rate and blood pressure - Dehydration - Anxiety and jitteriness 2. *High Tannin Content*: Tea powder contains tannins, which can: - Interfere with nutrient absorption (e.g., iron, calcium) - Cause stomach upset, nausea, and diarrhea 3. *Other Potential Issues*: Excessive consumption of raw tea powder may also lead to: - Tooth decay and staining due to high acidity - Interactions with certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) _Correlation with Your Symptoms_ Considering your symptoms: 1. *Bad sleeping pattern*: Excessive caffeine intake from raw tea powder could be contributing to your sleep disturbances. 2. *Hunger at night*: Caffeine can suppress appetite during the day, leading to increased hunger at night. 3. *Low stamina*: Dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, and sleep disturbances can all contribute to low energy levels. _Reduce or Quit Raw Tea Powder Consumption_ To address your concerns, consider the following: 1. *Gradually reduce your intake*: Try to decrease the amount of raw tea powder you consume each day. 2. *Switch to brewed tea*: Brewed tea generally contains less caffeine and tannins than raw tea powder. 3. *Explore alternative energy boosters*: Engage in physical activity, practice stress-reducing techniques (e.g., meditation, yoga), or try a power nap to help manage energy levels.

I recently burned my leg with a bike silencer about three days ago. The skin in that area has turned black, and while there's no pain, there's this clear liquid on a popped blister that keeps coming back after I clean it with a cotton. Should I be worried about this? Do you think it's necessary for me to see a doctor?

Given the burn's severity, appearance, and discharge, it's essential to consult a doctor or visit a burn care clinic to assess the wound's depth, prevent infection, and promote proper healing; the transparent liquid and recurring discharge may indicate an infection, and the blackened skin could be a sign of a third-degree burn,

I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?

The liver is of normal size (14.0 cm) and demonstrates mild diffuse fatty changes, which are likely grade I in severity. There are no signs of any focal masses or bile duct dilatation. This suggests early-stage fatty liver changes without any significant abnormalities.

I'm dealing with hyperacidity and GERD for the past couple of years and have been on PPI meds for about a year and a half.

I've been hitting the gym consistently for the past couple of months and can definitely feel myself getting stronger. But I've been reading online and I'm worried I might have low testosterone since a lot of the symptoms match what I've been experiencing. How do I go about testing my testosterone levels? Also, is there any medication to boost testosterone that wont come with major side effects? Just so you know, I've got hypertension and I'm overweight, though I've been shedding some pounds slowlycurrently at 88 kgs and I'm 5ft 7inches.

To test your testosterone levels, consult an endocrinologist who will recommend a blood test, typically taken in the morning when testosterone levels are highest, and may also perform a physical exam and review your medical history; if diagnosed with low testosterone, treatment options may include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) via gels, patches, or injections, but be aware that TRT may have side effects, such as acne, sleep apnea, or prostate issues; given your hypertension and weight status, lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, weight loss, and stress management, can also help boost testosterone levels naturally.

What would happen if someone took 10 Dolo 650mg tablets all at once? Is it really dangerous enough to cause death, and what other side effects should I be worried about?

PPIs and Their Limitations* 1. *PPIs are not a cure*: Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) only manage symptoms by reducing stomach acid production. 2. *Dependence and rebound effect*: Long-term PPI use can lead to dependence and rebound hyperacidity when stopped. 3. *Underlying causes*: PPIs don't address underlying causes of hyperacidity and GERD, such as dietary habits, lifestyle factors, or anatomical issues. *Exploring Alternative Solutions* 1. *Dietary modifications*: Avoid trigger foods, increase fiber intake, and eat smaller, more frequent meals. 2. *Lifestyle changes*: Maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and manage stress. 3. *Natural antacids*: Consider using natural antacids like ginger, aloe vera, or licorice root. 4. *H2 blockers or antacids*: Your doctor may recommend alternative medications like H2 blockers or antacids. *Next Steps* 1. *Discuss alternative treatments with your gastroenterologist*: Explore other treatment options and lifestyle modifications. 2. *Consider a comprehensive diagnostic workup*: Rule out underlying conditions that may be contributing to your symptoms. 3. *Keep a symptom journal*: Track your symptoms, diet, and lifestyle habits to identify potential triggers.

I've been told I have a couple of stones in my left kidney and gallbladder. The kidney stones have dissolved, but my latest ultrasound shows the gallstones are still forming. I'm really hoping to find a way to treat these gallstones without having to remove my gallbladder. I'm currently on UDILIV 300. Do you think there are other options?

While surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, there are alternative treatments for small, uncalcified gallstones in the early stages of formation; Udiliv 300, which you're currently taking, contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid that can help dissolve small, cholesterol-rich gallstones; other non-surgical options include watchful waiting, dietary changes

I have a friend who took 6 paracetamol tablets of 500mg all at once because he was really stressed out last night. Should I be worried? Im freaking out after reading some stuff online. He hasn't gone to see a doctor yet, and the only thing he's felt is a bit of vomiting today around lunchtime. He told me about it this morning and mentioned he tried to make himself throw up when he realized what he'd done. I'm really stressed for him. Do you think he'll be okay, or what do you suggest we do?

Your friend's action is considered a serious overdose, and immediate medical attention is crucial; paracetamol toxicity can cause liver damage, and the risk increases with doses above 10g; since your friend took 3g (6 tablets of 500mg), he's at risk; despite feeling only mild vomiting, liver damage can be silent and only apparent through blood tests; strongly advise your friend to visit the emergency room or a nearby hospital for immediate treatment, which may include activated charcoal, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and liver function tests.

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?

It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!

I've had this discomfort in the middle of my penis corona for quite a while, and it's really starting to bother me. It's not super painful, but it's irritating enough that I've had to change how I masturbate, and it's been swollen for a long time. I've also noticed that the pain tends to get a bit worse after each time I masturbate. I have had sex before, but that was quite some time ago, long before all this started. What could be going on here? Should I be worried about this swelling and irritation?

It sounds like you might have inflammation or irritation of the penis, potentially from overuse or unnoticed trauma. To help it heal, try reducing masturbation frequency, avoid tight grips, and keep the area clean and moisturized. If swelling or discomfort persists, please see a doctor to rule out infections or other concerns.

I'm 94 and have been dealing with prostate issues. I've been on Urimax 0.4 mg at night for about a year. Since starting it, I've noticed that I end up needing to pee more often during the night, which means I can't really get a good night's sleep. Do you think it would be okay if I switched to taking Urimax during the day instead? I'm really hoping for a way to sleep better.

You can consult your doctor about taking Urimax (Tamsulosin) 0.4mg in the morning instead of nighttime to minimize nocturia (frequent urination at night) and improve sleep quality; however, it's essential to discuss this change with your doctor, as they may need to monitor your prostate symptoms and adjust your treatment plan accordingly to ensure optimal management of your benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Both **Tri-Dot** and **ELISA** are used for HIV screening. **ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)** is more sensitive and specific, detecting HIV antibodies or antigens in blood. **Tri-Dot** is a rapid test, easier for quick results but less reliable than ELISA, especially in early infection.

Based on your symptoms of fatigue, sleepiness, occasional fever, weight loss, hair loss, and headache, along with the ultrasound report showing decreased echotexture of the liver suggestive of hepatitis, this points to possible liver inflammation.

I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and my TSH level is 5.15. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything I need to do or watch out for?

A TSH level of 5.15 during pregnancy is slightly higher than the recommended range, which is generally 0.2 to 3.0 mUL in the first trimester and up to 3.5 mUL in the second and third trimesters. Its important to discuss this with your doctor, as elevated TSH may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can affect both your health and your baby's development. They may recommend further tests and possible treatment.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got a really high white blood cell count at 22,000. He's around 80 years old and gets really exhausted even with just a little bit of effort. Any idea what's going on or what we should do next?

A high WBC count can be indicative of various conditions, ranging from infections to more serious diseases like leukemia. The key to managing your father's health right now is thorough medical evaluation, so I strongly recommend discussing these concerns with his primary doctor or specialist to get the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation. A week ago, I had a throat infection and was on medication for it, but then I started having stomach upset and loose motions. I decided to stop the medication, and I tried arrowroot powder to help. It seemed to work, but now, for the past three days, I've had stomach pain on both sides. I dont usually have issues with gastric acidity, but the pain gets worse when I walk, go upstairs, or take a deep breath. What should I do about this?

If the pain is severe, constant, or associated with symptoms like vomiting, fever, bloody stools, or significant tenderness, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, such as an intestinal infection or inflammation.

I've been having some concerns after a medical camp at my office where my BP was checked. The first reading was 120180 and the second was 110170. The doctor suggested I take Lasix for a day and then start on Telma 40 mg for 10 days. I've just started the medication yesterday. Over the past week, I've reduced my salt intake and started doing yoga. Before starting the medication, my BP readings were 110150, 105145, 110150, and 115155. Yesterday I took Lasix at 3 pm and today 1 tablet of Telma 40 mg at 8 am. My BP reading at 7:30 pm today was 14090. I'm feeling a bit different after the meds and am wondering if they're too strong or just right. What do you think is happening?

It seems like your blood pressure is gradually stabilizing, which is a positive sign, but a reading of 14090 is still on the higher side. It's normal to feel a bit different when starting medication, but if you're concerned or feel any discomfort, its important to check in with your doctor to ensure the dosage is appropriate for you.

I was in an accident a couple weeks back and got some injuries on my elbow, forearm, and knee. Initially, my knee swelled up, not exactly where the injury was, but close by. All the injuries have healed now, but there's still swelling in that spot. I'm concerned whether it's just swelling or maybe some blood clotting. I couldn't bend my knee before, but now I can, although there's still some pain where the swelling is. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?

It sounds like the swelling near your knee could be due to a soft tissue injury or internal bruising, which can sometimes take longer to heal. Since you can now bend your knee, that's a positive sign, but the pain and swelling might take a little more time to subside. I recommend applying ice and elevating the knee, and if the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and possible imaging.

I'm really worried about my knee. I hurt it while walking and now I can't seem to stand up straight on just one knee. The pain is intense, like a shock every time I try to walk after the injury. I did see an orthopedist who just twisted my leg a bit and I felt better for a while, but once I got home, the pain came back even worse. It's like a sharp jerk in my knee whenever I move.

I'm really worried because I've just been diagnosed with a grade 2 fatty liver and my sgpt is at 70.05. I've started feeling a dull abdominal pain, and even though I've cut out oily junk food and now walk about 3-4 kms daily, I'm struggling to get a good night's sleep, probably because of stress. Lately, I've noticed that after eating cabbage sabji for dinner, I can smell cabbage in my stool the next day. Could this mean something, or am I just overthinking it? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Its great that youve made positive changes like walking and avoiding oily foods. Fatty liver can cause mild discomfort, and stress might be affecting your sleep. The cabbage smell in your stool is likely due to digestion, which is normal, but if the pain persists or worsens, I recommend consulting your doctor for further guidance. Managing stress and improving sleep quality can also help with your overall health.

To address your concerns: *Vaginal Discharge and Abdominal Hair* - Vaginal discharge can be normal, but if accompanied by itching, burning, or a strong odor, it may indicate a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. - The black line of hair on your abdomen (linea nigra) can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, which may be related to pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances. *Lip Kissing and Pregnancy* - Lip kissing does not cause pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg, typically through vaginal intercourse. *Recommended Actions* 1. Schedule a gynecological exam to assess the vaginal discharge and abdominal hair growth. 2. Practice safe sex to prevent unintended pregnancy and STIs. 3. Consider taking a pregnancy test if you suspect you might be pregnant.

I recently got an HRCT scan of my chest, and the results showed minimal ground glass haziness in the posterior parts of both lungs, especially in the dependent zones. It also mentioned some small lymph nodes near the trachea and a few other places. I'm trying to understand what all this means. Should I be worried?

minimal haziness and small lymph nodes, especially if not associated with other symptoms, often do not indicate serious problems but should still be monitored. If you have any chronic symptoms (like a cough, difficulty breathing, fever, or weight loss), or if the doctor suggests any follow-up, its important to follow their advice closely.

Persistent Cough with Blood-Streaked Sputum and Dizziness _Concerns and Recommendations_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: Azithral (azithromycin) for 5 days might not have fully cleared the infection. 2. _Blood-streaked sputum_: This symptom warrants further investigation to rule out underlying conditions, such as: - Pneumonia - Bronchitis - Pulmonary embolism (less likely, but possible) - Tuberculosis (TB) 3. _Dizziness_: This could be related to the underlying infection, smoking, or other factors. 4. _Smoking_: Your frequent smoking habit may be exacerbating the condition.

I'm a bit worried because my SGOT and SGPT levels are 53 and 67, and I read online that this might indicate something like hepatitis or cirrhosis. I don't drink alcohol, and I'm unmarried. Can you tell me what these numbers could mean for my health and what steps I should take next?

For a 30-year-old male, both laser and conventional circumcision methods are available. *Laser Circumcision* This method is preferred for its quicker recovery time and minimal bleeding . The procedure is more precise, reducing the risk of complications. Laser circumcision also has the advantage of less post-operative pain and discomfort. *Conventional Circumcision* This traditional method involves using a surgical blade to remove the foreskin. While effective, it may lead to more bleeding and a longer recovery time compared to laser circumcision. As for specialists in Mumbai, you can consider the following options: - *Dr. Pattnaik's Urological Hospital*: Offers laser circumcision services with experienced urologists . - *House of Doctors*: Provides laser circumcision and conventional surgery options with a team of specialists . It's essential to consult with a urologist or a specialist to determine the best approach for your individual needs. They will assess your overall health and provide personalized advice on the most suitable circumcision method.

I've been dealing with a pretty concerning issue of drooling in my sleep, and a friend mentioned it might be due to worms in my stomach or intestines. So I'm a bit worried and have a few questions about this. Is it really possible that worms could be causing the drooling? Also, it's quite severe for me, so how can I reduce or even completely stop this drooling problem? And if worms are the issue, what's the best way to get rid of them? Are deworming tablets a permanent solution, or should I consider an ayurvedic option?

Drooling while sleeping is usually not caused by worms in the body. It could be due to issues like nasal congestion, sleeping position, or excessive saliva production. To reduce drooling, try sleeping on your side and address any nasal blockages. For worms, de-worming tablets can be effective, but it's important to follow up with your doctor for the best treatment plan. Ayurveda can also be an option, but consult a healthcare professional before starting any alternative treatment.

I'm really struggling with IBS, and it's been about five years now. I had a colonoscopy three years ago, but it didn't show anything. I've tried Colospa and some other medications, but nothing seems to be helping. I have diarrhea and then normal stool, but it's happening like five to six times a day. Lately, I've been experiencing a burning sensation after using the bathroom, and it lasts for an hour or two. It's really concerning, and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?

Given your symptoms:_ 1. _Episodic vertigo_: Your vertigo episodes last 3-4 seconds, triggered by changes in movement. 2. _Morning exacerbation_: Vertigo worsens in the morning, making it difficult to stand properly. _Consider the following:_ 1. _Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)_: Your symptoms suggest BPPV, a common inner ear disorder. 2. _Inner ear problems_: Despite a normal CT scan, inner ear issues like labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis might be contributing to your vertigo. 3. _Vitamin deficiencies_: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or vitamin D might exacerbate vertigo symptoms. _Current treatment:_ 1. _Vitcofol, Neurobian Forte, Stmetile, Verin 16_: These medications are often used to treat vertigo, but their effectiveness varies. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Consult an ENT specialist or a neurologist_: Seek a specialist's opinion to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo. 2. _Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)_: VRT can help improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms. 3. _Consider canalith repositioning procedure (CRP)_: If diagnosed with BPPV, CRP can help alleviate symptoms.

Can ayurveda or homeopathy actually heal retina holes, and how long would that kind of treatment usually take? Or is laser treatment the only option that really works for this? I'm just worried and trying to understand the best course of action.

While Ayurveda and Homeopathy may offer supportive treatments to promote overall eye health, there is limited scientific evidence to suggest that they can effectively cure retinal holes; conventional medical treatment, such as laser photocoagulation or vitreoretinal surgery, is generally considered the most effective way to treat retinal holes and prevent vision loss, with treatment outcomes and duration varying depending on the size, location, and severity of the retinal hole.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but an SGPT level of 56.2 UI is slightly elevated and may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation, especially if there are any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort, to rule out liver-related conditions.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing giddiness off and on for the past year. Last year, an X-ray showed my cervical spine is straightened. Then in March this year, tests showed my vitamin D and B12 levels were really lowat 6 and 190, respectively. After taking supplements for two months, I expected some improvement, but I'm still dealing with the same giddiness, plus pain and depression. It's really impacting my ability to focus at work because I'm constantly anxious about this. I've been told to keep up with the supplements for another two months, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help myself mentally cope and gain the confidence to go out alone. Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really appreciated.

Stay Consistent with Supplements: Continue your vitamin D and B12 supplementation, as per your doctors instructions, but follow up in a couple of months for additional testing. Neck Exercises: Try to incorporate neck stretches and gentle mobility exercises to improve spinal health. Practice Relaxation: Incorporate some mindfulness exercises like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation into your routine to manage anxiety and tension. Small Steps: Try to gradually engage in small activities that take you outside your home. You could start with something simple, like going for a short walk or sitting in a park, and work your way up from there. This can help you regain confidence and reduce fear.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's better to drink milk in the morning or in the evening. Is there an ideal time for it health-wise, or does it not really matter? I'm just a bit confused about what the best practice is.

Drinking milk in the evening is considered more beneficial than in the morning, as it helps promote better sleep quality, relaxes the muscles, and supports bone health, due to the presence of tryptophan, calcium, and magnesium, which have a calming effect on the body.

I'm dealing with vertigo for the past four months, and it's really bothering me. Every time I change position, even for just about 34 seconds, this dizziness hits. My family doctor suggested I take Vitcofol, Neurobion Forte, and Betahistine 16, and I got some injections too, but it hasn't helped much. The vertigo seems to be worse in the morning, and I'm struggling to stand properly. I'm only 20, and my CT scan came back normal. Could there be something else causing this, or should I try different treatments?

You've taken the right steps: 1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain. 2. _Ice compresspack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain. _Current situation:_ 1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbingstinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought. 2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment. 2. _Topical creamsointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection. 3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks. 4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.

Is that a good option, or should I consider something else? Can you advise on any other treatments or pain relief methods that might work for piles?

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with piles. Meftal Spas 250 mg can help alleviate pain and discomfort, as it contains an analgesic and antispasmodic. However, it's best to consult with your doctor for a personalized treatment plan and to ensure it's the right option for your condition.

I've been dealing with hepatitis A since last month, and I've noticed my SGPT levels are all over the place, sticking around 60-90 for the past two weeks. It's like they go down a bit and then shoot back up again. I'm trying to be careful with a bland diet and haven't been physically active, just doing stuff on the computer. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for SGPT to take a while to stabilize?

SGPT fluctuating after Hepatitis A is fairly common as your liver heals. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months for the levels to normalize, depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. Keep following your doctor's advice on diet, rest, and lifestyle, and avoid any additional strain on your liver. If you continue to see fluctuations or have concerns, your doctor may recommend further testing to ensure full recovery.

Feeling your 3-year-old son's heartbeat by placing your hand on his chest can be a normal finding, especially if he's active and healthy. _Possible explanations:_ 1. *Thin chest wall*: Children's chest walls are thinner, making it easier to feel their heartbeat. 2. *Normal cardiac anatomy*: Some people's hearts are more prominent or closer to the chest surface, making the heartbeat more palpable. 3. *Increased cardiac output*: Active children may have a higher cardiac output, making their heartbeat more noticeable. _No cause for concern_: Unless your son is experiencing other symptoms such as: - Shortness of breath - Fatigue - Pale skin - Dizziness - Chest pain

I've been waking up every morning feeling like I'm going to puke, but I don't actually vomit. It's just gagging, and sometimes a little bit of spit comes out. This has been happening for a few days now. I dont smoke or drink, and I eat a pretty normal dinnerabout four chapatis with sabji. I usually get about 6 to 9 hours of sleep a night. What's going on with me, and how can I stop this from happening?

It sounds like you might be experiencing morning nausea or acid reflux, especially since you mention gagging and saliva production. This can happen due to the stomach acids irritating the esophagus after a long night without food. I recommend avoiding heavy meals late at night, and consider eating a lighter dinner. If this persists, you might want to consult a doctor to check for reflux or other underlying causes.

Penile traction devices*: These are FDA-approved, non-surgical devices that may help increase penis length. However, results are generally modest (around 1-2 cm). 2. *Penile exercises*: Some exercises, like jelqing or penile stretching, may help improve blood flow and potentially lead to slight increases in penis length. However, these claims are largely anecdotal and not scientifically proven. 3. *Surgical options*: In some cases, surgical procedures like penile lengthening or enlargement may be considered. However, these procedures carry risks and are typically reserved for individuals with micropenis or significant penile trauma. _Important Reminders_ 1. *Be realistic*: Understand that significant increases in penis length are unlikely. 2. *Prioritize overall health*: Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and good mental well-being. 3. *Avoid unproven products*: Steer clear of products or supplements claiming to dramatically increase penis length, as they are often ineffective and may be harmful.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can sometimes be addressed with homeopathy, but its effectiveness varies based on individual cases.

While Sinarest (a combination of antihistamine, decongestant, and pain reliever) and Cetrizine (an antihistamine) can provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms, taking them together may increase the risk of drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects; however, if you still want to take them together, the typical dosage is Sinarest 1 tablet 3-4 times a day and Cetrizine 1 tablet 1-2 times a day, but please consult your doctor

I'm experiencing some weird stomach issues and I'm a bit concerned. I used to have a stomach ulcer, which is thankfully better now, but for the past few months, my stomach's been gurgling a lot. I also feel really full and get a ton of gas after eating. It's like I can actually feel the gas forming, and there's this constant growling sound in my stomach that only seems to go away when I have a full meal. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. On top of that, my stool has been green and soft most of the time. I used to take pantotab every morning for my ulcer, but I stopped because it was making me super drowsy. Any idea what's going on? I'm kinda worried.

Your symptoms of constant stomach gurgling, feeling full after eating, gas formation, and green, soft stools, especially after recovering from a stomach ulcer, may indicate issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastroparesis, and the drowsiness you experienced from Pantoprazole (Pantotab) tablets may be a side effect, so it's essential to consult your gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms,

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there.

Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.

SGPT (ALT) levels may not decrease quickly with Liv52 alone, as it primarily supports liver health but doesn't directly treat underlying causes.

Is it safe to have surgery and continue feeding my baby?

A 7mm gallbladder stone may require surgical removal, especially if it's causing pain or complications. If you need surgery, it's essential to discuss with your doctor whether its safe to breastfeed post-surgery. In most cases, you can resume breastfeeding once you've recovered, but your healthcare provider will guide you on the specific timing.

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?

Normal Causes* 1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge. 2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus. 3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Abnormal Causes* 1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor. 2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor. 3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge. 4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Solution* To address the issue: 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. 3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment. 4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

Is it okay to give Sizodon syrup to my 3.5-year-old who has autism? The doctor recommended it for his hyperactivity, and he's been on it for the past six months. I'm worried and don't really want to continue with it. If I stop the syrup, will there be any side effects, or should I just keep going with it? I'm really looking for advice on this.

Stopping the medication abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the symptoms for which the medication was prescribed (hyperactivity, agitation). It's essential to consult with your doctor before stopping Sizodon. A healthcare provider may suggest gradual tapering off the medication to avoid withdrawal effects and to reassess the management of your child's symptoms.

The discrepancy between your gestational age based on LMP (8 weeks) and ultrasound (5 weeks 4 days) is concerning, and the absence of a fetal pole at 5 weeks 4 days is a potential indication of a non-viable pregnancy or a miscarriage, so your healthcare provider may recommend waiting for 1-2 weeks for a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the presence of a fetal pole or heartbeat, but the prognosis is uncertain, and emotional preparation for a potential miscarriage is essential.

Avoid common irritants such as cigarette smoke and sudden temperature changes. Drink plenty of water. Use a humidifier. Try nasal saline sprays or rinses. If the runny nose is a persistent, watery discharge, particularly if accompanied by sneezing and itchy or watery eyes, your symptoms may be allergy-related and an over-the-counter antihistamine may help...take OTC antipyretics along with above... If symptoms persists more than 3 days even after OTC medication consult physician they will help you.

I'm kinda confused about the USG report I got. It mentions that my uterus is normal in size and texture, and no myometrial SOL is seen. The endometrial echo and thickness seem normal too, and the cervix is fine. My ovaries also look normal, with no SOL, and no free fluid in the POD. But the thing is, I just really want to know if this means I could be pregnant or not. Could you help me understand what this report actually says about my pregnancy status? I'm really unsure about what all this means.

Based on the ultrasound report, there is no indication of pregnancy, as there is no mention of a gestational sac, embryo, or fetal heartbeat, and the endometrial thickness of 5.2mm is within the normal range for a non-pregnant woman, so if you suspect pregnancy, consider taking a urine pregnancy test or consulting your gynecologist for further evaluation and confirmation.

You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.

While it's challenging to significantly increase height after adolescence, you can try to optimize your growth hormone levels through lifestyle modifications, such as: getting adequate sleep (7-9 hours), exercising regularly (high-intensity interval training, stretching, and strength training), reducing stress (yoga, meditation), maintaining a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamin D, and zinc, and considering supplements like arginine, glutamine, and GABA,

I'm really struggling with my vertigo, specifically BPPV. I had an episode in the past and was on Vertin 16mg and Stugen for about 20 days, and it seemed like it went away completely. But then, after stopping the medication, it came back a week later. I've done all the tests, like CT scans and X-rays, and they're all normal. I'm worried because the vertigo just won't go away permanently. Could you suggest any way to get rid of this for good?

To achieve permanent relief from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), consider the following steps: 1) consult an ENT specialist or a vestibular rehabilitation therapist; 2) undergo the Epley maneuver or other canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) to help relocate the otoliths in your inner ear; 3) perform vestibular rehabilitation exercises (e.g., Brandt-Daroff exercises) to improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms; 4) consider lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding triggers (e.g., sleeping on your side), reducing salt intake, and increasing water consumption; and 5) if symptoms persist, discuss with your doctor the possibility of a vestibular suppressant medication, such as betahistine, to help manage symptoms.

I've been really worried about the window period for HIV testing. I got tested after 140 days, and my result came back non-reactive. I'm wondering if that means Im definitely in the clear, or if there's a more accurate test I should consider for better peace of mind. Could you shed some light on the best test option for HIV detection?

The window period for HIV testing varies depending on the type of test used, ranging from 10 to 90 days. For a non-reactive result after 140 days, it's likely that the test has detected the absence of HIV antibodies and antigens, indicating a negative status. The best test for HIV detection is the 4th generation antibodyantigen test, which can detect 99% of samples within 45 days. However, if you're still concerned, consider a nucleic acid test (NAT), which can detect HIV within 10-33 days.

Drinking amla juice offers numerous benefits, including boosting immunity, enhancing digestion, reducing inflammation, improving skin and hair health, and supporting liver and kidney function; to maximize benefits, drink 20-30 ml of amla juice: on an empty stomach in the morning to kickstart digestion and immunity; or 30 minutes before meals to enhance nutrient absorption; and consider drinking it 1-2 times a day, ideally with a gap of 6-8 hours

Taking I-pills (emergency contraceptive pills) multiple times does not significantly impact future pregnancy chances, but frequent use can lead to menstrual irregularities, including infrequent or lighter periods; however, fertility typically returns to normal after stopping I-pill use, and most women can conceive within a year of stopping, but consult a gynecologist for personalized advice on managing menstrual irregularities and optimizing reproductive health.

But my monocytes count is nil, and lymphocytes are at 30. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Could you explain what this might mean for my health?

Moderate alcohol consumption, defined as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men, may have potential health benefits, such as reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer, due to antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties found in some alcoholic beverages; however, excessive drinking can lead to numerous health problems, including liver disease, certain cancers, and injuries

I've heard some people say that drinking alcohol in moderation can be good for your health, but others argue that even a little bit isn't beneficial at all. I'm feeling a bit confused about this and would love to get some clarity. Is there any truth to the idea that a small amount of alcohol can actually be good for you, or should it really be avoided completely?

I've been dealing with these more than 50 lipomas for years now, and they're just getting bigger as time goes on. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm wondering what my options are to get rid of them. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from growing further or any treatments that can help?

.lipoma isn't cancer and usually is harmless. Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma bothers you, is painful or is growing, you may want to have it removed.... Most lipomas are removed surgically by cutting them out...Recurrences after removal are uncommon.

I've been noticing recently that my urine flow seems to be slower than usual, and even after I finish urinating, it feels like I'm not completely done. It's a bit concerning because I keep expecting to have to go again soon, but it never really happens. Any idea what might be going on? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might resolve on its own?

I went through your query...... Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out..... Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder. ....Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your problem has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate...... Consult Physician....

I'm a 19-year-old guy and I'm currently 5'2". I'm really hoping to grow a couple more inches. Is it possible at my age?

At 19, your growth plates have likely closed, making significant height increase challenging; however, some methods may help optimize your posture and potentially gain a small amount of height (up to 1-2 inches), such as: exercise routines focusing on spinal flexibility and strengthening core muscles, like yoga, Pilates, or swimming; proper sleep and nutrition to support bone health;

I've been dealing with a mild itch around my anus, so I put some Dettol on it. Now it's a bit swollen and there's this weird sticky feeling that won't go away, even after I clean it with water. There's no pain, though. Could Dettol have caused this, or is it just something from the itch itself? What can I do to get rid of that sticky sensation?

Discontinue using Dettol, as it can be too harsh for anal skin, and instead, try the following to alleviate the sticky feeling and swelling: clean the area gently with warm water; apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic soap or a mild cleanser specifically designed for anal care; pat dry, avoiding rubbing or scratching; apply a thin layer of a soothing cream or ointment, such as hydrocortisone or aloe vera gel; and consider taking an oral antihistamine or applying a topical antihistamine cream to reduce itching and inflammation.

Consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a breast specialist, as soon as possible, as a nipple bite can lead to infection, abscess, or even nipple necrosis; although it's been 5 days, seeking medical attention will help assess the injury and provide guidance on wound care, pain management, and preventing potential complications, such as mastitis or breast abscess.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

I just turned 17 and accidentally swallowed a jamun seed. I'm kinda freaking out about it. Do you think it's harmless, or could it be something dangerous for my health?

Don't worry, accidentally swallowing a plum seed (jamun) is generally harmless, as the seed's toxic compound, amygdalin, is released only when the seed is crushed or chewed, and the digestive system can pass the intact seed without issues; however, to be cautious, drink plenty of water and monitor your health for any unusual symptoms, and if you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea, seek medical attention.

I'm really worried about my recent exposure and I'm not sure about the window period for an HIV test. Can you tell me how long I should wait before getting tested? Also, I'm looking to find an ICTC government center in Bangalore. Could you advise on where I might find one?

The window period for an HIV test is typically up to 12 weeks after exposure, as it takes time for the body to develop antibodies that can be detected by tests like ELISA. In Bangalore, you can find ICTC (Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre) and government centers at various locations. Some options include: - National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Bengaluru Branch: This branch offers HIV testing and counseling services. - Government Hospitals: Many government hospitals in Bangalore have ICTC centers that provide free or low-cost HIV testing and counseling services. - Private Labs: Some private labs, like those listed on the Practo website, offer HIV testing services, including home sample collection.

I've been having this abdominal pain in my lower groin area, and it seems to get worse when I feel like I need to pass stool, which has been coming out black. There's also a lot of gas and I feel hungry, but every time I eat, I feel an immediate urge to use the bathroom again. It's been a bit worrying, and Im wondering what could be causing it?

Try to identify and avoid the foods that affect you the most. Foods that cause gas problems . Try cutting back on fried and fatty foods.Often, bloating results from eating fatty foods. Fat delays stomach emptying and can increase the sensation of fullness. Reduce your use of dairy products. Try using low-lactose dairy foods, such as yogurt, instead of milk. Try smaller portions-Many of the foods that can cause gas are part of a healthy diet. So, try eating smaller portions of problem foods to see if your body can handle a smaller portion without creating excess gas. Eat slowly, chew your food thoroughly and don't gulp. Don't smoke Cigarette smoking can increase the amount of air you swallow. Physical activity may help move gas through the digestive tract.

I took some medical pills for an abortion when I was about 5 weeks pregnant.

So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely.

I'm thinking about getting a full body check-up, like from head to toe, and I'm kind of worried because I've been a heavy smoker for a while. What tests should I consider to find out how much damage smoking might have done to my body? Also, does a regular body check-up include smoking-related tests, or should I look for specific ones? Could you also suggest some good hospitals where I could get this done?

The cost of a full-body check-up varies depending on the hospital, but it generally ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 in India. For a smoker, essential tests include lung function tests, chest X-ray, and heart-related tests. Most full-body check-ups cover these, but it's best to confirm with the hospital. I recommend visiting reputed hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, or Medanta for comprehensive screenings.

I'm wondering if having a bowel movement 3 or 4 times a day is something I should be worried about. Could this be a sign of a stomach problem, or is this totally normal?

Passing stool 3 to 4 times a day can be normal for some people, especially if the stools are well-formed and you're not experiencing any discomfort or other symptoms like bloating, pain, or diarrhea. However, if you notice any changes in consistency, color, or feel unwell, its a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

Any idea what could be causing this and how I can treat it?

It sounds like you may have developed sebaceous cysts or a similar skin condition on your scrotum. These bumps can occur when hair follicles or sebaceous glands become blocked. I recommend seeing a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options, such as warm compresses, or in some cases, drainage or removal.

I'm really worried because I've been rejected for a medical check for Kuwait due to two white spots on the left side of my lungs. I feel stranded since I can't fly even though I think I'm medically fit. Is there any hope of getting rid of these spots? I had TB when I was almost 3 years old22 years ago now. I'm 24. Is there any treatment I can consider?

I understand how frustrating this situation must be for you. The white spots on your lungs are likely scar tissue from your past TB. While treatments like bronchoscopy or surgical options can sometimes help, they may not always clear the scars entirely. Consulting a pulmonologist for a detailed evaluation is the best step.

The ultrasound findings indicate that the uterus is bulky and contains two solid masses. One mass, measuring 4231 mm, is located in the posterior uterine wall, while another smaller mass of 1615 mm is found in the anterior uterine wall.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned because after masturbating, my foreskin isn't going back up and it's a little swollen underneath. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing temporary swelling or tightness in the foreskin after masturbation, which can happen occasionally. If there's no pain or severe discomfort, it should improve on its own. However, if it persists or causes more concern, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance.

I'm 27, weigh 72kg, and have a bit of a belly. Could this be why I'm having trouble breathing, even when I'm just sitting? It's definitely different from how I felt before I had the belly.

I'm a 16-year-old girl and I've read on Google that girls stop growing two years after they get their period. But I've also seen other research saying that's not true, and now I'm really confused. Can you tell me if it's still possible for me to grow taller at 16? I'd really appreciate some information on this, so I can know what to believe.

It's a common misconception that girls stop growing after two years of menstruation. While growth typically slows down after puberty, many girls can still grow taller in their late teens, up to around age 18. It depends on individual factors like genetics and nutrition. If you're 16, there's still a chance for some growth!

I've been using Krimson 35 pills for a week, starting from the 10th day after my period began, up until the 17th day. Then I stopped taking them and had unprotected sex. A week later, I noticed some bleeding. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is it just my irregular menstrual cycle acting up? What are the chances that I might be pregnant? Since my periods are usually pretty irregular, I'm feeling a bit anxious.

The bleeding you noticed could be breakthrough bleeding from stopping the Krimson 35 pills, rather than implantation bleeding, as it typically happens after ovulation and would usually occur around the time of your expected period. Given your irregular cycles, it's hard to determine your exact fertile window, but there's still a chance of pregnancy, so it's advisable to take a pregnancy test after a missed period or consult your doctor.

I'm really concerned about this back pain I've been having around my waist area for about a year now. It hurts whenever I stand or sit in one spot for over an hour and it gets worse if I lift something heavy or bend over to do stuff for like 10 to 20 minutes. The weird thing is, it eases up when I rest or lie down. I haven't had any injuries or medical conditions that I'm aware of, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this just be a muscle sprain, or is there something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like your back pain could be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially if it worsens with prolonged sitting or lifting. It might also be due to muscle imbalances or tension. If rest helps, that's a good sign, but I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to rule out other possible causes.

I've been experiencing a tickling sensation when I urinate, along with the frequent urge to go every 30 minutes, for the last 56 days. Every time I finish, it feels a bit like a mini orgasm.

It sounds like you might be experiencing mild irritation or possibly a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the sensations you're describing. Even though there's no burning or blood, the frequent urge to urinate and tickling sensation can still be signs of a UTI or another issue. If it persists, I would recommend consulting a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

My wife has an 18 mm stone in her gall bladder and sometimes she feels pain because of it. I'm wondering if there are ayurvedic treatments for this or if she will have to rely only on allopathic medicine.

For an 18 mm gallbladder stone, Ayurvedic treatments like certain herbs (e.g., Gokshura, Triphala) may help manage symptoms, but they might not dissolve large stones. Allopathic treatment, including possible surgery or non-invasive methods like lithotripsy, is usually recommended for stones of this size. It's best to consult a doctor for a personalized approach.

I'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks.

To help reduce your CRP level and manage the symptoms you are experiencing, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. It is important to also follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to further improve your condition.

I've taken the HIV antibody and p24 antigen tests at the 5-month mark, and again after 6 months, and they both came back negative. I'm really anxious about whether this 6-month window period is enough to be sure that I'm HIV negative. Can you give me some clarity on this?

Based on your negative HIV antibody and p24 antigen tests at 5 months and 6 months post-exposure, it is highly likely that you are HIV negative. The window period for these tests is typically around 4-6 weeks, so testing at 5 and 6 months post-exposure provides a very reliable indication of your HIV status. It is recommended to continue practicing safe sex and regular testing for sexually transmitted infections for overall health maintenance.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health because her vitamin D levels are super low; it's only at 8 when it should be around 40. Our doctor has prescribed her these vitamin D3 sachets, each containing 60,000 units. She's supposed to take one sachet a week for six weeks, and then after that, it's one sachet every two weeks for another six weeks. That seems like a lot to me. I'm curious if 60,000 units is too high of a dosage for her?

The dosage of 60,000 units of vitamin D3 once a week for 6 weeks, followed by once every two weeks for the next 6 weeks, is a common treatment regimen for correcting severe vitamin D deficiency. This high dosage is typically used to rapidly increase vitamin D levels in the body. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen as directed by the doctor to effectively raise the vitamin D levels.

I've been feeling really dizzy for about two months now, and it makes keeping my balance while walking pretty tough. After the first week, things got a bit better, but I still went to see a neurospecialist who gave me some medication. The dizziness just doesn't seem to go away, and it can be different at different times, mostly when I move my head around in a rotational way. It's weird because it doesn't feel like the room is spinning, just my head feels off, and walking becomes difficult. Things seemed to calm down for a while, but it's been acting up again for the past 23 days. Now it gets worse when I move my head up or down. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and if there's a way to treat it?

Vertigo can be caused by various underlying conditions such as inner ear problems, vestibular migraines, or Meniere's disease. Since your symptoms have persisted despite medication, it is important to follow up with your neuro-specialist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking Betahistine. Betahistine is commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks. It is important to continue communicating with your neuro-specialist to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo and to adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I'm taking regestrone 5mg tablets because my gynaecologist suggested them since my periods got delayed. We had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside. I'm really worried about getting pregnant now. What are the chances of becoming pregnant while taking regestrone? Just so you know, I did a pregnancy test before starting regestrone and it came back negative.

Regestrone is a synthetic progestin that helps regulate the menstrual cycle. While it can help with delayed periods, it is not a contraceptive method. The chances of getting pregnant while on regestrone are still present, especially if unprotected intercourse occurs. It is important to use additional contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you may consider emergency contraception like Levonorgestrel 1.5mg as a precautionary measure within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

The time it takes for a person to wake up after an overdose of sleeping pills can vary depending on the specific medication taken, the amount ingested, and individual factors.

Depending on the severity of the scratch and the risk of rabies transmission, a booster dose of ARV may be considered.

The healthcare provider will assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

It is unlikely for the baby to gain 2.6 kg in just 3 weeks, but steady weight gain is expected in the third trimester.

You can expect some changes in your menstrual cycle after taking Unwanted 72. Your period may come earlier or later than usual, and it may be heavier or lighter than normal. It is difficult to predict the exact timing of your next period, but it is common for women to experience a delay of a few days to a week.

You may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your knee. The sensation of coldness could be due to nerve irritation or compression.

I take Tazloc Trio 40 mg in the morning right after breakfast, and I've noticed that about 10-15 minutes later, when I start driving to work, I get this drowsy feeling. It's a bit concerning, especially because I do an intense workout on my bike for an hour before breakfast, and my heart rate is usually around 145-150 bpm. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night because of restless legs, but I still push myself to cycle every morning before taking my medication. My blood pressure used to be pretty high at 160120, and my doctor switched me from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio. Could this drowsiness be related to the medication or my morning routine?

I'm experiencing this strange heaviness on the right side of my stomach, especially when I'm walking or running. It's there even when I'm sitting, but not as intense. I know I have a gastric issue with GERD, could it be related to that? I don't drink or smoke, and there's no pain, just this heavy feeling. Strangely, I have no issues on the left side. All my tests, like blood tests and the stomach ultrasound, are normal, they only found GERD with the endoscopy. I'm really stressed out thinking about what this could be. Is it a big deal? Would love some insight.

Symptoms you are experiencing are due to acid reflux from GERD. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Tums as needed for immediate relief. It is also important to avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms, such as spicy or acidic foods, and to practice stress-reducing activities like deep breathing exercises or yoga.

However, frequent and aggressive masturbation can lead to: 1. _Desensitization_: Reduced sensitivity due to over-stimulation. 2. _Inflammation_: Mild inflammation or irritation, which can cause temporary swelling or changes in penis size. _Thinning and Shortening of the Penis_ The thinning and shortening you've observed could be due to various factors, such as: 1. _Normal fluctuations_: Penis size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, and overall health. 2. _Erectile dysfunction_: Infrequent or inconsistent erections can cause the penis to appear smaller. 3. _Peyronie's disease_: A condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue, leading to curvature or shortening of the penis. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or hormone imbalances, can affect penis size. _What to Do_ To alleviate your concerns: 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or a primary care physician to discuss your concerns and rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. _Reduce masturbation frequency_: Try to reduce your masturbation frequency to 2-3 times a week to give your penis time to recover. 3. _Practice gentle masturbation techniques_: Avoid aggressive or rough handling of your penis during masturbation. 4. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management to promote overall health and well-being.

I've just had an ultrasound, and it shows a dominant follicle measuring 18 mm in my right ovary. I'm really worried about whether this is something serious. Is there a risk I should be aware of? What steps can I take to manage or recover from this?

A dominant follicle measuring 18mm in your right ovary is a normal finding, especially if you're in your menstrual cycle's follicular phase . This typically occurs around day 7-10 of a 28-day cycle. The dominant follicle is the largest follicle that will release an egg during ovulation. Having a dominant follicle doesn't necessarily indicate a risk. However, it's essential to monitor its growth and development to ensure it ruptures and releases an egg. If the follicle doesn't rupture, it may lead to issues like ovulation disorders or cyst formation. To support follicular growth and ovulation: - *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. - *Follicular monitoring*: Schedule regular ultrasound scans to track the dominant follicle's growth and development. - *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your scan results and any concerns with your gynecologist or fertility specialist. They may recommend additional tests or treatments to support ovulation and fertility.

I've been dealing with ulcerative colitis since 2013, and I'm really struggling to find something that works. I've been on medication for the past three years but haven't seen any improvement. I even tried homeopathy for a year, but that didn't help either. Do you think Ayurveda might be able to cure this disease? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Ayurveda may offer complementary treatments to help manage Ulcerative Colitis (UC) symptoms, such as dietary changes, herbal remedies like triphala, and stress-reducing practices like yoga, but it's essential to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner

I'm really concerned about my recent blood test results that showed a high lymphocyte count of 3.65 and 42, as well as an increase in platelet size with high values for PDW, MPV, and PLCR. I'm worried about what these numbers could mean. Could there be a specific health issue causing these changes?

A high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) of 3.65 and 42% can be caused by various factors, including viral infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or blood cancers, while an increased platelet size (PDW, MPV, PLCR) may indicate a platelet disorder or a bone marrow response to inflammation or infection, so it's essential to consult a hematologist for further evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned about finding reliable HIV testing methods. I've read about the 4th generation HIV 12 Antibodies and p24 Antigen test with a shorter window period of around four weeks after exposure. I live in Chennai and have tried to locate a lab or medical center that offers this test using the CMIA method but haven't had any luck so far. Do you have any suggestions on where I might find this test available in Chennai?

The 4th generation HIV 1 & 2 Ab and p24 Ag test by CMIA method is indeed a latest test for HIV testing with a short window period of about 4 weeks from exposure. Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific labs or medical centers in Chennai that offer this test. However, I recommend searching online for "4th generation HIV test in Chennai" or "CMIA method HIV test in Chennai" to find relevant options. You can also check with local hospitals or pathology labs to inquire about the availability of this test.

I've noticed my vagina is red and itchy on the outside of the lips, and the skin is peeling off. It's white in some areas. I've been putting powder and Vaseline on it for the past two days, but the itchiness hasnt gone away. What can I do to make it better?

For a red, itchy, and flaky vaginal area, especially on the outer lips, consider using an over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal or anti-itch cream like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and avoid using powders and vaseline as they can exacerbate the issue; also, practice good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and consult a gynecologist if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I even took a picture just in case, but I'm not sure what it is. Also, no bloody stool or anything like that. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I recently found out I have typhoid 1120, and I'm really worried about how long it's going to take before I'm fully recovered and feeling better. Could you let me know what symptoms I should expect and how soon they might go away? Also, I'm a bit unsure about what foods are safe to eat during this time and if there are any specific diet precautions I should follow.

Typically, typhoid fever lasts for 2-4 weeks with proper treatment, and symptoms may resolve within 7-10 days, but this can vary depending on individual factors and treatment response. To manage your diet, focus on consuming bland, easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, apples, and vegetables, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or high-fiber foods that can irritate your stomach.

I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss lately and I'm thinking about starting biotin capsules. Should I just go ahead and start taking them, or do I need to consult with a doctor first? Also, are there any side effects I should be concerned about?

You can consider taking biotin capsules, but consulting a dermatologist is recommended, especially if you're experiencing excessive hair loss, to rule out underlying conditions, and biotin is generally safe, but high doses may cause mild side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, or skin rashes, so start with a low dose (2,500-3,000 mcg) and monitor your body's response.

For a 10-year-old with asymptomatic gallstones (2.5mm to 4mm), treatment options vary, but since the child is asymptomatic, doctors may recommend watchful waiting with regular ultrasound check-ups (every 6-12 months) to monitor stone growth, and surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) may be considered if stones grow larger,

I've noticed that almost every time I shout or scream while at church, I start feeling really lightheaded and dizzy, almost like I might pass out. It's like I have to close my eyes and hold onto something just to stay steady. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of something more? What's going on with my body when this happens?

The symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, and feeling like passing out after shouting or screaming at church may be related to a vasovagal response, a common condition where the nervous system overreacts to stress or excitement, causing a temporary drop in blood pressure and heart rate, and it's recommended to consult a md medicine to rule out other potential causes, such as dehydration, anxiety, or underlying heart conditions.

Are there specific foods I should avoid or things I shouldn't do while I'm going through this? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to feel better soon.

I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count since my recent battle with a viral fever. It dropped quite a bitfrom 94,000 down to 64,000, and then to 43,000. Now that I'm feeling better, I know I need to keep an eye on my platelet levels. But should I really be doing blood tests every day, especially while I'm on my period?

It's not necessary or recommended to do a blood test every day, especially during your periods, as this can lead to unnecessary stress, expense, and potential infection risks; instead, follow your doctor's advice and schedule blood tests at intervals they recommend, typically every 2-3 days or weekly, to monitor your platelet count, and consider discussing with your doctor the possibility of thrombocytopenia or other underlying conditions that may be contributing to your low platelet count.

I'm having this really uncomfortable issue with gas that seems to flare up after lunch and gradually gets worse by the evening. It's like my digestive power just isn't what it used to be. I feel hungry, but when I eat, it doesn't seem to digest properly, and my stomach feels tight. Even if I eat just a little bit, I start burping a lot. This has been going on for about 4 to 5 years. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

Your symptoms of gas, bloating, reduced digestive power, feeling uneasy, and difficulty digesting food, which have persisted for 4-5 years, may indicate underlying conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroparesis, small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or enzyme deficiencies, so it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and improve digestion.

A small bump or boil on the outside of your anus could be a perianal abscess, a skin tag, or an anal gland infection, rather than piles or hemorrhoids, which typically occur inside the anus, and given that it hasn't reduced in size after four days, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist

I didn't know it was used for dental problems too. Could it have any effects on my heart because I'm seeing a cardiologist as well? I just want to make sure everything's safe. What's the usual reason dentists would prescribe this?

Dentists and cardiologists may prescribe the Ofloxacin + Ornidazole combination to prevent or treat bacterial infections that can occur during dental procedures or in patients with certain heart conditions, such as endocarditis, as Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that targets a wide range of bacteria, while Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal agent that also has antibacterial properties, making this combination effective against various types of infections.

Around 4 am, there was a little bleeding but it stopped quickly, though I'm still having on-and-off cramps. Ive been advised to take another dose of misoprostol again at 9:40 pm tonight. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of an incomplete abortion?

Based on your symptoms, it appears that the misoprostol is taking effect, but the abortion process may not be complete, as evidenced by the moderate cramping, initial bleeding that stopped, and the need for a second dose of misoprostol, which is a common practice to ensure complete abortion, but it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider within 24-48 hours to confirm the completeness of the abortion and rule out any potential complications.

Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.

The sharp stabbing pain in your right biceps, exacerbated by outward or upward arm movements and radiating to your neck, may indicate a potential issue with your rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or neck (cervical spine); possible causes include bicipital tendinitis, shoulder impingement, or cervical radiculopathy; consult an orthopedic specialist

I'm really concerned because my baby has fallen off the bed three times now. Each time, he landed on his tummy, and thankfully his head didn't get hurt. He's in his ninth month and seems active and normal now. I'm just worried if these falls might cause any problems in the future. Should I be concerned about anything?

If the baby is active, no bleeding and no vomiting, then usually no need to worry. Keep a close watch for 48 hours.

My wife went through gall bladder surgery back in 2014 for acute gall stone pancreatitis. Since then, all her blood tests and ultrasounds have come back normal, but she still sometimes gets really bad leg pain at night and in the morning. On top of that, she deals with loose motions and a burning stomach about once a week. Do you have any idea what could be causing these issues and how we can help her feel better?

Your wife's symptoms of severe leg pain at night and morning, along with weekly episodes of loose motions and burning stomach, could be related to her previous gallstone pancreatitis or gallbladder removal surgery; possible causes include pancreatic insufficiency, bile salt diarrhea, or fat malabsorption; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation

I've been having a lot of trouble with acidity every night around midnight, right at 24 am. It's been so hard for me to get any sleep after it happens. I always thought I was eating a normal and balanced diet, so I'm puzzled why this keeps happening. Do you have any advice on how I can stop this acidity or maybe some solutions for getting rid of it completely?

To alleviate midnight acidity (2-4 am) and promote permanent relief, try these measures: avoid lying down after dinner, elevate the head of your bed by 6-8 inches, eat a light dinner, avoid trigger foods (citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, spicy or fatty foods), incorporate alkaline-rich foods (ginger, cucumber, melons), stay hydrated, manage stress through relaxation techniques (yoga, meditation, deep breathing), and consider natural antacids like aloe vera juice, coconut water, or ginger tea before bed.

I'm worried about what this color change could mean. Is this something serious? What steps should I take to address this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

A temporary yellowish discoloration of the penis head after masturbation is likely due to irritation, friction, or minor trauma, and may be accompanied by swelling or redness; apply a cold compress, maintain good hygiene, and avoid further irritation; if the discoloration persists, is severe, or accompanied by discharge, pain, or difficulty urinating, consult a urologist

I recently had a minor accident and got some scratches on my feet where the skin peeled off. I went to the hospital to get it dressed and, a couple of days later, began using this Megaheal Ointment. But now I'm noticing that the ointment forms this layer over my wound, almost like gum. I'm curious and a bit concerned because the wound seems like it's still wet. Every time I apply more ointment, it keeps forming this thick layer. Should I be cleaning off the old layer before putting on new ointment, or is it okay to just keep adding it on top? I'm wondering if this layer is actually helping my wound to heal or if I should be doing something differently. I'm also a bit worried about the pain I might feel if I have to peel off that thick layer from the ointment. Am I doing the right thing for healing, or is there something I should change?

You're using Megaheal Ointment correctly, as it forms a protective barrier, promoting a moist environment for wound healing; to manage the thick layer, gently clean the wound with saline water or a mild soap solution before reapplying the ointment, rather than peeling off the layer, which can be painful and disrupt the healing process.

I've been on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.

What could cause someone to pass away if they were laying on their side in the recovery position with blood that had come from their mouth and coagulated on the floor, and had a greyish skin color with a deep purple bruise on their forehead or cheek? I noticed they were told to start compressions until the ambulance arrived, but when I tried to roll them, they barely moved. I'm really concerned, and I'm trying to understand what might have happened.

Based on the description, possible causes of death could include cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, or a severe head injury, potentially caused by a fall or blunt trauma, which may have resulted in the observed bruise and stiffness in the body; other potential causes could include a pulmonary embolism, stroke, or an aneurysm, but a thorough investigation, including an autopsy and toxicology report, would be necessary to determine the exact cause of death.

I'm a bit confused about my baby's blood group. My husband has a B blood group and mine is A, but somehow our baby's blood group is O. Could you help me understand why this might be? Is it something I should be worried about?

The inheritance of blood type is based on mendelian genetics. For ABO blood typing, if you are A and your husband is B, there is 25%chance of your baby being O. This might be because your genotype would be AO and your husband's might be BO. So based on probability, 25%probability each of baby being A, B, AB or O. Similarly for Rh factor inheritance, assuming you both were Rr, you have 25% chance for RH negative baby. To conclude.. its possible for a A+ and B+ couple to have O- baby. You are proud parents of a universal donor

I've been following up on that injury I mentioned before. Do you think it's a good idea to use Betadin and let the wound stay open to air? I ended up putting turmeric powder on it, and now it's sort of caked on the wound. I'm worried that if I try to clean it, it'll take off the part that's already healed. That wound on my leg from the bike accident, about a month and a half ago, mostly healed but theres still a small area thats raw. It keeps getting this clear, watery fluidnot yellowish thoughthat seems to stop it from healing fully.

I've been using Augmentin D and Betadin as instructed, but I'm still using turmeric since it's ayurvedic. What should I be doing differently to finally heal this completely?

To promote complete healing of the remaining raw wound area, consider the following: continue regular dressing and antibiotic treatment as advised by Dr. Prashanth BN; gently clean the wound with saline solution to remove the accumulated turmeric powder; apply a thin layer of Betadin ointment, but avoid keeping the wound open, instead cover it with a sterile dressing; and maintain good wound hygiene and monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or yellowish discharge.

Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.

all reports are normal it can be due to anxiety

I'm having this stomach pain for the past two weeks, and I can't seem to figure out why. It doesn't seem to matter what I eatwhether it's homemade rice and dal or even spicy or sweet foodsthe pain just keeps coming back. It feels a bit like gastric pain sometimes, but there's no diarrhea or vomiting. Even with light or non-masala meals, the pain persists. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?

The urge to poop after eating is usually caused by the gastrocolic reflex, a naturalHere are some lifestyle changes that may help with gastrocolic reflex: Eat smaller meals: Eat several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. Avoid certain foods: Limit or avoid foods that make symptoms worse, such as deep-fried or spicy foods, or meals high in fat. Drink fluids: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, to keep things moving. Take probiotics: Take a probiotic supplement or eat foods rich in probiotics, like kimchi, sauerkraut, or low-fat yogurt. Manage stress: Try yoga, breathing exercises, guided imagery, or meditation to reduce stress. Exercise: Increasing physical activity can help. Take stool softeners: If stools are hard, take stool softeners with meals. Try peppermint: Take peppermint oil before meals or sip peppermint tea after meals.

I've just gotten my MRI results and I'm feeling anxious about what it all means. It says there's a diffuse disc bulge at L4-L5 causing thecal sac indentation and compression of both existing nerve roots. Also, at L5-S1, it mentions a similar disc bulge with indentation and nerve compression including bilateral neural foramina. I'm worried about what kind of symptoms or issues this could lead to. Could you explain what this might mean for my health and what steps I should take next?

I'm a bit worried and could use some advice. So, about 20 days ago, I got bitten by a dog and went through the whole rabies vaccination process with the 4 shots. Am I okay to be intimate with my wife now?
