Question 1

Hi Doctor, I've been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, especially when something sudden happens like a phone ringing. My doctor prescribed Mitocent 30 mg, an antidepressant. I'm worried about whether this medicine might have any long-term side effects. Also, how long would I need to continue taking it? Could you guide me on how to manage or overcome this issue?

Accepted Answer

Mitocent (30mg) is an antidepressant commonly prescribed for anxiety, and while it can be effective in managing symptoms, long-term use may have potential side effects like weight gain or changes in sleep patterns. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance on the duration, and alongside medication, practicing relaxation techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can significantly help in managing anxiety and panic attacks.

Accepted Answer

Excessive masturbation does not directly cause an increase in prolactin levels, which can affect testosterone production. However, chronic stress or certain medications can lead to elevated prolactin levels. To help regulate testosterone levels and promote beard growth, you can consider taking supplements like zinc and vitamin D. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can also support hormone balance.

Accepted Answer

Since the wound was minor and you removed the pin instantly, the risk of tetanus infection is low.

However, it's always best to err on the side of caution, especially if you're unsure of your tetanus vaccination status.

Consider consulting a primary care physician or an urgent care center for further evaluation.

They may recommend a tetanus booster shot as a precautionary measure.

Additionally, they can assess the wound and provide guidance on wound care and pain management.

If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention to rule out any underlying complications.
