The pain is now focused On my upper back and on my spine there was swelling a few days ago, unbearable to touch it. That spot has now turned into a bruise , but the pain is so annoying. I got checked out at the E.R. And the dr. Said it was nerve related and the best option is to see a chiropractor. is this correct
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The swelling that you had near the spine is likely to be due to a hematoma or a local infection. The symptoms are likely to be due to a nerve root compression. It is best to consult an Orthopedician for proper examination and investigations. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal [email protected]

Hello,Welcome to HCM,typhoid fever is known to have convalescent Carrier (Sheds typhoid bacilli for 3 or more months after onset illness) and Chronic Carrier( Sheds typhoid bacilli for more than 12 months after onset of illness).As you are having typhoid for last 3 months you have become a potentially long-term carrier of the typhoid infection, and you may need to have a further 28-day course of antibiotics to remove all the bacteria.Until test results show that you are free of bacteria, avoid handling or preparing food. It is also very important that you wash your hands thoroughly after going to the toilet.Thank you.

Done MRI scan. Can online doctor help?
Received copy of MRI scan of my brain without contrast. It states areas of FLAIR signal identified in the left, frontal and temporal lobes do not enhance. What does this mean? The impression states no enhancing lesions are identified with brain parenchyma. The differential for non enhancing lesions include gliosis from inflammation or ischemia (chronic) versus a demyelinating process. What does this mean? Is it serious? mS?
Hi,Your MRI brain shows hyperintensity in flair sequences involving L) frontal and temporal lobe.Lesion is not enhancing with contrast indicates the lesion is not activeDifferential include gliosis from inflammation or ischemia (chronic) versus a demyelinating process.Gliosis is a nonspecific reactive change of glial cells in response to damage to the central nervous system (CNS). In most cases, gliosis involves the proliferation or hypertrophy of several different types of glial cells, including astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes. In its most extreme form, the proliferation associated with gliosis leads to the formation of a glial scar.Gliosis can occur either due to inflammation of brain secondary to infection or trauma and it can also occur following decrease blood supply to brainOther differential is demyelination .Regarding the possibillity of MS depends on the history and clinical examination and comparison with serials of MRI done previously and other tests like VEP , CSF oligoclonal band.You should consult Neurologist for further plan of actionRegardsDr Sandhya ManorenjNeurologistHi Tech city Hyderabad

What causes stomach ache and fever in children?
My duaghter, age 5 got out of the hotel pool saying she didn t feel good. When she went to bed she said her tummy hurt and she had lots of gas and began running a fever. We are giving her Tylenol to reduce the fever and put her in a wa bath for awhile. She said her tummy feels better but still had a fever. I don t know how high since I don t have a thermometer with me at the hotel. Right now I have her laying in bed with a cool towel on her back while she is covered up to try and lower temp. Any other suggestions b
Thank you for following up. In view of above , I believe she has infection in tummy after swallowing water in pool. I appropriate your attention to her condition. It can be also viral infection with intestinal syndrome . You can try to give her niftas(nitrofurantoin) 1 tablet 3 times 7days, econorm(saccharomyces) 1 paket 2 times 3 days. If her pain will not decrease, then start to give antibiotic-cefixime in the dose of 4mg/kg/dose 2 times during 5 days Best regards Dr.Svetlana Shrivastva

What could be the reason for mild memory loss?
I have been taking elavil 50 gm for over 9months but recently I notice some memory loss. e.g the right words do not come naturally. Another example is I wanted to say " I ate oats," but the word oats does not come naturally. I keep thinking the name of the product.
Hi, tab elavil is antidepressant and you are taking 50mg for 10 months.It does not usually cause memory loss so you are advised to consult neurologist for memory loss. Thanks

Q. For how long should I take Kalachikai powder to overcome PCOD problem?
Hello doctor,As I have PCOD problem and also cyst, I take tablets for period. My friend suggested Kalachikai powder. I used it for 30 days continuously, but no use. How many days should I take that powder and how to overcome this problem?
Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online -->

Sharp pain in chest on left. Why do I get short of breath yielding pain?
Hello I am 17 and I have this really really sharp pain right under my left breast and everytime I take a short or deep breath I am in excruciating pain! It has been over an hour and Ian s getting any better! I don t know why to do! I looked it up and people re saying that it called periodical catch syndrome but I don t know. Please gelp
Hi, Thanks for posting your querry. After reading your symptoms i feel that you are suffering from muscle spasm. These generally do not last long. I would advice you to apply any local analgesic ointment at the site of pain/catch while breathing along with any anti inflamatory painkiller drug with a muscle relaxant. Hot foamentation may also help relieve the discomfort. If the pain does not subside then you must see a physician for a. examination as he will then prescribe the drugs accordingly. Hope you feel better soon. Regards

Suggest treatment for accidental inhalation of mold cleaner fumes
My 2 year old figured out how to open doors in the middle of the night. She left her bedroom and went in the small bathroom and shut the door. She knocked over a spray bottle of mold/mildew cleaner and it spilled, leaving her trapped with the fumes with no ventilation. She seems fine now, but should I still be concerned?
Hi... I understand your concern. But usually this type of chemical irritant inhalation may have its effect only after 6 hours of the incident and I suggest you be on the lookout for the next 48 hours. I will explain you the danger symptoms when you need to take her to the nearest Emergency Room or physician.1. Breathing difficulty or fast breathing.2. High grade fever.3. Inability to feed.4. Chest wall retractions.5. Excessive uncontrollable cough.Regards - Dr. Sumanth

The major concern with this ultrasound is the cirrhotic liver with ascites. When the liver is badly damaged with scarring (cirrhosis), it doesn't work very well. Blood flowing through the scarred liver gets backed up and creates high pressure in the liver, which in turn results in fluid leaking in to the abdomen (ascites). Unfortunately, cirrhosis with ascites may be an indication that his liver is starting to fail. The kidney shows that a stone is present, but that does not seem to be causing any problems. No other findings are of significance. What needs to be done now is to take a sample of the ascites fluid and determine if it is truly related to the liver cirrhosis or something else. Liver disease is the most common cause of ascites, but other conditions may cause it as well, and treatment may differ. Further investigation of the liver status may also be needed, such as a biopsy. Usually the spleen is enlarged when ascites develops with a cirrhotic liver, and his spleen is normal, so perhaps another more treatable condition is present. Liver failure from cirrhosis is the worst case scenario. Further evaluation should help define his situation better. Hope this helps.

Can Implanon cause blood in stools or is it diet related ?
Hi, I've had the implanon inserted on the 23/Dec/2013 and this is the first time I've used contraceptive. I left for a holiday across the country about 5 days after I had it inserted - my diet and eating routines have changed, and have noticed recently that parts of my stool has become bloody (almost a bright red), and I'm experiencing no pain. Could this be because of change in biological routine because of my diet or an effect from the implanon?
Hi, Insertion side effects of implanon include local irritation,itching ,bruising at the site of insertion. bleeding in stools is not expected after implanon insertion. - ideal time of insertion is within 5 days of periods.If it is after 5 days post menses, additional protection is needed for one week. - Implanon causes irregular vaginal bleeding which may be mistaken with blood in stools. Please confirm it. Please consult your doctor if you find that blood is in the stools only & not vaginal. _ blood in stools can be possible with some intestinal infections, piles, fissures. Thanks

Q. Please suggest best medicine for hypothyroidism in diabetics person.
Hello doctor, My father is suffering from hypothyroidism and was having thyroxine 137.5 mg for the past four months but on his own started 125 mg from the past two months. Report readings: T3 - 1.04. T4 - 12.60. TSH - 0.11. He is a diabetic and even had angioplasty done. Please suggest the best for him.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that your father has overcorrected his thyroid. He must take 100 mcg Thyroxine only. Repeat his thyroid test after three months, only TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). His diabetes is not controlled. I would like to know his medications name, dose, and times per day. He has some urine infection. Likely because of high blood sugar, once sugar gets controlled, the infection will resolve. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily. Please do not change the dose of Thyroxine on your own as it can be risky in patients with heart disease like your father. I hope this helps.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...According to latest WHO guidelines sperm count should > 15 million per ml ...Motility >40%,Morphology at least 4% normal...In your report all normal except motility somewhat defective as it is 35% here....Fully motile sperm should be usually greater then 25% ....Here it is slight less.....But I don't think it will create much problem in conception...If no conception occurs cause searched for like.....Stress/excess heat exposure / tight undwear /vitamin and mineral deficiency /smoking / alcohol etc....For that you can consult psychiatrist or andrologist...Take care

What causes excessive throat mucus and bumps on labia?
Iam having problems.I have been producing some excessive throat mucus everyday for the past two years and i often find some bumps on my labia, They used to have pus but recently have been just painful with no pus. They jus harden and scar.WHAT COULD IT BE?
Hello and welcome to HCM,Presence of bumps on the labia filled with pus suggests presence of infection- bacterial infection on the skin covering the labia.The pus filled lesions can be due to folliculitis, boils etc.A clinical assessment and antibiotic therapy is required for treatment of these lesions.Production of excessive mucus in throat can be due to inflammation of throat mucosa.Infection is the most common cause of production of excessive mucus.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal

Delayed intake of pill caused bleeding and brown spotting. What to do ?
Hi there, I have been on the pill for over a year now. And take the pill perfectly the other day I took the pill 6 hours late and have bleeding and brown spotting (took a pregnancy test) came back negative. I'm not meant to take the sugar pills for another 4 days…. what do i do?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magicEven though you took the pill 6 hours late, there should still be contraceptive protection.It is unlikely that you would conceive even with this delay. You should continue taking the pills as they are suppose to be taken.Breakthrough bleeding can occur as a side effect of using oral contraception.This is likely the reason for the bleeding that you are seeing.I hope this helps

Is the BHP treatment for reducing the prostrate size advisable?
i m under treatment for BHP with very successful therapy for reducing prostate size from 144 cm3 to 94.6 cm3 with a Rx. over a six month period. I m uncertain what Rx to re-order, urologist office doesn t take direct calls (Mt. Sinai) can t get ahold of urologist and the PBM unilaterally alters Rx and uncertain which pharma was the effective. Avodart, perhaps?
Hello and .As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.I must advise you to continue the treatment, but, also keep in mind that present medical treatment, is probably not the right treatment.Avodart will not help much. As your prostate gland is significantly enlarged, you should consider change of the medical treatment. You should get certain tests like, Hb,creatinine, sugar, PSA, urine routine and culture, and an ultrasound scan of abdomen. You can send a copy of the reports here, in my name, for an expert opinion.

How frequently does stage 5 kidney disease patient need dialysis?
My husband has Stage 5. He also has a poor heart, with less than 20% EF. He is on BP meds to lower his BP. However, with his low BP (average 83/54) his dialysis center is afraid to remove the fluid that is necessary. So he is gaining weight. We went to his PCP who has ordered a paracentesis for him for this week. He is very swollen and having uremic spots on his body, along with severe nausea. He has both Zofran and Reglan. We are new to dialysis. Started on June 13, so I don t know how much to advocate for him or just trust the dialysis center. I will be calling the M.D. tomorrow. He also is having a hoarse voice now, which I am reading can be due to the ESRD.

Does having copper IUD cause gastritis?
One month ago, I had a copper IUD fitted. In the past week I have excess gas and feel very constipated like I never have before. What can I do to relieve my symptoms, and what can i alter to change the root of the problem - is this linked to a copper iud?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Copper IUD doesn’t cause any gastritis or related problems. It might be something unrelated to copper IUDs. IUDs release the copper irons in the vagina and prevent fertilization. However you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for gastritis. If symptoms persist, then consult a physician and get evaluated. Wishing all the best. Thanks.

Can infection fro handling pigs cause haemophila parainfulenza?
Hi, my husband has just been diagnosed with haemophilas parainfluenzae. He also suffers low white cells of 3.01 being his recent reading. He works in a pig factory and is in contact with pigs blood on a daily basis, is it possible that he got this from the pigs?
Hello,It is unlikely that the haemophilus parainfluenza infection your husband has is directly related to his job at the pig factory. This bacteria often lives in our bodies without causing infection, but can cause pneumonia, upper respiratory infections and even heart infections. You mentioned that your husband's white blood cell count is low, this bacteria is thought to be especially active when the general immune system is compromised so it could be something else led him to get sick with this. There is also a chance that the haemophilus parainfluenzae was reported on a sample but is not causing his underlying symptoms, since as I mentioned it is a normal component of some parts of our bodies. I hope I answered your query, please let me know if I can be of further assistance,Dr. Patel

Could it be the tension that led to the pre ejaculation?
Hi. I am not married but I had sex with my girl. We were short of time and had to do it quickly. We were tensed too. When I inserted my penis to her vigina, sperm came out and I cannot do much. Is this because of the situation we had or tension that we faced. Will I be able to do better next time when we have more time and a relaxed mind?
Hi, I have gone through your query. There is reason to be too worried now. This is very common. Next time please keep some time for yourselves. Start with some foreplay. That should ease the tension. After that you can do much better. And be confident. This happens to most people at some point of time. So relax and do not be too worried. If you still have any query I will be happy to help.

Q. My diabetic father had heart block and underwent surgery, the wound has not healed. What to do?
Hello doctor, My father is diabetic and had MI with a heart block. He underwent CABG surgery and sternal debridement before three years. The wound has not healed still now. He is on Meropenem 1000 mg medication, and Colistimethate Sodium is also being used. Please help.
Hello. As your father is diabetic, he has low immunity against infection. Wound healing may take some time. Deep sternal wounds are very common after CABG (Coronary artery bypass grafting). Both antibiotics he is using are very powerful. If they are not effective, then I would advise you to stop antibiotics for three days and do a wound culture and sensitivity test. This will show the type of microbes present and the antibiotic sensitive to it. Have the evidence and treat it accordingly. Take other general measures like: Keeping the wound clean and dry. Apply povidone iodine solution daily. Remove the cloth that rubs against the wound and keep the patient's environment clean.

What could explain persistent cough and soreness in stomach?
Hi. I moved to Dubai and havent stopped caughing for the last 3 weeks. I started exercising again and my stomach muscles got sore. After a week my stomach muscles are still sore and its getting worse. I cant stretch or lean back. It hurts very bad. What could it be?
HI.It looks you have done the exercises at the wrong time - the time of viral / bacterial infection . The body gets so down by resistance and all the tissues of the body are in a stage of recovery.Yet get the blood reports done particularly for typhoid ( widal). It may not be possible for you to get a full bed rest- if possible get it.If Widal is positive get the proper treatment under the guidance of a Doctor, If negative - symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medicines and supportive medicines would help. Remember the bed rest is very important , or at least avoid any strenuous activity.

Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion.
Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect.
Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.--->

Has brain tumor, possibly astrocytoma, mixed cystic, hemorrhage component. Done MRI. Serious?
hello DoctorMy father in law who is 64 years old and height possibly 5ft 6in, weight under 60 is diagnosed with Brain Tumour possibly Astrocytoma. His MRI report says that Right temporo parietal lobe white matter well defined large T1 hypo/T2 hyper intense signal multiloculated mixed cystic/solid peripheral enhancing SOL measuring 7.5(AP)/5.3(TR)/5.6(TR)cm seen with T1 hyper intense signal dependentsub acute haemorrhagic component. also uncal herniation. What does this mean? should we opt for biopsy or surgery. Is this really serious??thank youTammy
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. MRI report of your father-in-law is most likely indicative of a brain tumor. However, the exact type needs to be idetified to plan further treatment (total removal of tumor, radiation therapy , etc). The first step should be to do a brain biopsy of the lesion. This can be done by either stereotactic method (minor surgery) or open biopsy method (major surgery). Sometimes, if the tumor is big and is pressing on the vital brain structures, doctors may prefer an open surgery method so that the biopsy as well as tumor removal can be done in the same sitting. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) Senior Consultant Neurologist Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, My personal URL on this website: My email: [email protected]

What causes stomach pain in a child?
my son and daughter had the wish bone part of the chicken on sunday. My daughter put hers in the bin and my son ate his without me getting to him first. He is 2 and a half and although he has been for a poo a few times, he is complaining of a sore belly. Do you think he could have hurt himself? what should i do?
Hi.... even if he has swallowed the part it is likely to get digested, so do not be concerned about this. I feel that he might have a mild stomach flu or viral diarrhoea. Unless your son is having very low urine output or blood in the motion or green coloured bilious vomiting and abdominal distention with other signs of dehydration you need not worry about this.Regards - Dr. Sumanth

She has hyperventilated before, before her lung collapsed. We, her 2 sons and boyfriend are telling her to let us help by going to the hospital. She is 44.

Further doctor suggested for MRI scan (there was leak) in which we can see open hole. After which we consulted neuro surgeon they confirmed hole is still there and we need to open brain to fix it. So looking this to be big and complex surgery I consulted ENT team and they again did endoscopic (as I mentioned this CSF leak is intermittent, so during endoscopic check up there was no leak) and mentioned there is no leak. As per them this intermittent leak can be due to high CSF pressure and suggested for diamox 500 mg. So just wanted to check: 1) only having diamox can this heal. 2) is this possible that due to CSF pressure she is seeing intermittent leak. 3) should we go for suggestion provided by neuro team. Thanks.
Hi,I have read your case details .Before giving my opinion, I would like to know that Ct cisternogram has been done or not .If it is not done I would advise you to do it.I. tab diamox can reduce csf rhinorrhea but can not heal it.2.No, she is having csf rhinorrhea due do bony defect at he base of skull not due to csf pressure.3.You should go with advise of neurosurgeon .Plan should be ACF repair to stop it as she is having recurrent rhinorrhea after failed endoscopic repair. Thanks
Can the medicine, Diamox, cure intermittent CSF Rhinorrhea or is surgery required? and for more details, Last year my mother had issue of csf rhinorrhea. So ENT doctor suggested for endoscopic surgery after which everything was fine for 6 months. After 6 months she had intermittent complain of CSF coming via nose. We checked with ENT team but as per there endoscopic report they didn t find any open hole. Last week she had problem of high fever and was unconscious.

How can pain in the lower back be treated?
I was having lower back pain that I believe started from bad shoe support. The pain seemed to radiate up the left side of my back and now I have stabbing pain on the mid-upper part of my back on the left side of my back bone. It burns and feels like a stabbing pain and then feels like there is a vice squeezing my back bone.
hi sir/madam,Let me advice you for your problem.Low back ache may be a pre-monitory (prodromal) symptom in fistula in ano, sciatica, gouty arthritis, hernia, emaciation disorder etc. Pain is confined to lower part of the spine (back bone) especially lumbar region or lumbo-sacral area (rarely sacro-iliac region also). If it is secondary, earlier history of fall or injury may be associated. Rarely, radiating pain may be complained by the patient towards lower limbs. But it is quite common in low back aches if the defect is in the discs between vertebrae (back bones). Often the movements of lumbo-sacral region like flexion and rotation are hampered either partially or completely.Low back pain may be found in mild form in case of anemia, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, hemorrhoids, urinary calculi, uterine disorders etc also.Line of treatment as per Ayurveda:-The general principles of treatment of vata dosha are adopted in case of katishoola (low back pain). It includes various measures to suit its varied clinical entities, stages and associated complaints.1. Snehana (oleation) – by sneha dhara (pouring oil), abhyanga (oil massage), avagaha (tub bath with oil or oleaginous medicaments), kati basti (retaining medicaments on the back) etc.2. Swedana (sudation) –avagaha sweda (sweating treatment with tub bath), pizichil (kayaseka), nadi sweda (sudation through a tubular device – local sudation), panda sweda (sudation through medicated paste or powder) etc.3. Mridu Samshodhana -mild purgation.4. Basti (medicated enema) like eranda basti, vaitarana basti, pippalyadianuvasana basti etc.Formulations indicated in Low back ache as per Ayurveda:-1. Dashamoola kwatha.2.Maharasnadi kashaya.3. Rasnaerandadi kashaya.4. Sahacharadi kashaya.5. Gandharvahastadi kashaya.6. Trayodashanga guggulu.And for local application these oils will help:-1. Ksheerabala tail.2. Mahanarayana tail.3. Dhanwantaram tail.4. Maha narayan tail.Avoid these for better results:-1.Bitter, astringent and pungent food2.Cold water3.Fear4.Exhaustion5.Standing6.Driving7.Cold food and beverages etc.Hope i was helpful.Have a healthy day.

Are braces for teeth really needed for a perfect smile?
i want to know if i need braces?my dad said that when i get a little older he's going to get me braces,but my mom said that i don't really need them.so now i want to know if really need them or not.i want braces because there cute and i want a cute/perfect smile,but i want to know is it worth having my mom or dad pay so much money to get me braces i don't really need
Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.I read your query. The decision of getting braces depends upon the mal allignment of your teeth. You have not specified your age.After eruption of all of your permanent second molars, if there is still irregularity in teeth or crowding, I suggest you to visit an orthodontist. After checking your dentition and doing some x-rays only, he will be able to advice whether to go for braces or not.Braces are worth their cost as they help in improving aesthetics and more important the functionality of teeth. If orthodontist suggest braces, go for them.Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!

What are the reasons for having swollen lymph nodes above arm with a family history of having lymphoma?
My 54yo husband has swollen lymph nodes on each side right above the crease in his arm, my mother had lymphoma close to that area and we are just a little worried. He has an apt with the doctor in 3 days, any ideas would be appreciated many thanks?
There are many other causes of lymph node enlargement other than lymphoma. if they are tender they may be inflamatory, if they have a rubbery feel one could suspect of lymphoma. if the lymph nodes are matted they may be tubercular. Examination of these is important and may need to be investigated.Dr. J. Ticku

Abdominal bloating, diarrhoea, gas, vomiting, headaches. Appendix, gallbladder removed. History of diabetes. Causes for symptoms?
Mom has gotten sick and had the same symptoms for 3 to 4 times now. Her symptoms are painful abdomen bloating around her belly button, (she feels like her belly would pop) diarrhea, smelly gas from both ends, (worse than rotten eggs ) and grey vomiting. They have told her everything from a blockage, (which further testing proved to not be the case) appendix or gallbladder (which she has had removed in her 30 s) She is a diabetic and they mentioned her pancreas was shutting down or malfunctioning, and sent her a specialist that said it was not. She has gotten dehydrated, so they put her on a clear liquid diet , and the illness seems to last about 2 weeks and only about a week apart before symptoms return. She also gets a slight headache with black and white zigzags in both eyes that appear bright like lightening bolts (that she never had before till she got this stomach issue) then nausea, then comes the vomiting and other symptoms. They told her it is related to her migraines but during this time she only remains to have a slight headache.
Hi. Please furnish details: - Age? - Exact time since the problem began? - During the so-called pain-free interval, is she absolutely alright, or do the symptoms of indigestion persist even during the pain-free interval? - Does she get pain in the back? - Exact nature of pain? - colicky / constricting / burning / twisting / vague? - Loss of weight? If yes, how much? - Appetite - lost or maintained? - Does she pass excessive mucus (sticky substance) and/or blood and/or pus per rectum? - Any urinary symptoms? - Had she undergone any abdominal operation in the past? - Is she suffering from this peculiar problem for the 1st time ever, or else did she suffer from similar problem few years earlier? Thanks.

How to get pregnant with endometriosis ?
Hi, im 22 years old.Asian. about a month ago, my Gyno tells me that i had an endo, she gave me Dusphaton, once a day for another 20 days. she took a swab test, and insert something like a rod to my vagina. took 2 photos. she measured the wound of 2 cm. can i still be pregnant with endometriosis?Regards,Ann
Hi Ann , How are you doing ?Let me start by saying that you will surely get pregnant. Endometriosis is a progressive condition. Every month when you have periods , little blood will enter the abdomen through tube. This will cause collection of blood around uterus & causing adhesions , this can lead to block in tubes & prevent egg from coming out of ovaries. So the treatment is to stop the periods , The best method to do that is have Pregnancy !!!. 10 months of no periods will resolve endometriosis. Don't worry about the lesion on cervix , picture was mostly of an erosion on cervix , which is normally seen on any sexually active lady's cervix. Do check if any of these investigations is missing , which could be a hindrance to your pregnancy. Husband- Semen analysis at least 2- done 4 weeks apart preferably in an infertility center ( examination done by andrologist), Blood sugarsWife - Blood Sugars, Thyroid profile Ultrasound scans to evaluate Uterus , Ovaries & adnexa Confirm tubal patency- most important- Tube is the connection between uterus & ovaries( the bridge where sperm meets the egg & forms a baby) this is size of hair follicle & cannot be seen on scans. So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or LaparoscopyIf all this done & found normal , nothing can stop a pregnancy with God's willOnly advise would be never delay pregnancy & once you deliver , never delay the second pregnancy. You can have as many pregnancy as you want, don't give a big gap between pregnanciesAll the best, do write back if any more queriesAll the bestDr.Balakrishnan

Back problems, degenerative changes, central disc protrusion, moderate central canal stenosis. Surgery is important?
My ortho doctor and surgeon recommended PT for me. Do you think PT can help this situation or do you think surgery is more suggested. I am 73 year old male. with back problems for 50 years.My MRI Impression states:1 Progressing degenerative changes most prominent L4-5. At L4-5 there is broad based central disc protrusion with moderate facet hypertrophy concentric moderate central canal stenosis. The thecal sac is narrowed to 8mm. There is narrowing of the lat4ral recesses bilaterally with contact with the traversing nerve roots. Moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis. Since previous examination, there is increasing loss of disc height, increasing degenerative changes overall.At L5-S1, there is broad based central disc protrusion, minimal impression upon the ventral thecal sac. Narrowing of the left lateral recess with contact of the traversing nerve roots. There is moderate marked left-sided foraminal stenosis with conact of the exiting nerve root. Increasing left-sided foraminal stenosis since previous examination.
Hello, Welcome at HCM.I have read complete details of your question.It looks that you are having broad based disc prolapse at two levels of your spine.There is also narrowing of foramina. Looking at these details i assume that you are having pain at your both legs specially it should be on leg & feet & should be aggravated by walking.The changes in spine are significant & if no any other contra indication for surgery exists then i will advice you to have surgery for relief.You should consult to your neurosurgeon for that.Till then i will advice you to take care & not to bend over your back.It will be better for you to take rest.Hope this all will help you.With best wishes.

Is it safe to travel after skull injury and bleeding in brain?
my friend has had a bad fall down a flight of 14 steps, he has a cracked skull and some bleeding on the brain, He was taken to hospital by ambulance, This happened 4 days ago, He was told that he can be discharged and can fly back to South Africa as soon as he wants to. He is still vomiting and confused, - is this safe
Traumatic brain injury.Needs observation till resolution of bleed or hematoma.Even discharged vomiting and confusion are not a good signs. To be decided whether really signs of intra cranial hypertension are still persisting secondary to hematoma or whether is resolving or expanding and to take a decision accordingly for a repeat ct brain.Traveling is very unsafe at this stage.

Suggest treatment for hair loss and thinning of hair
Hi,I am suffering from hair loss and thinning of hair. I am looking for a good dermatologist in Bangalore, who can help me to reduce the hair loss process and regrow my hair. I have a family history of hair loss, but I believe I can slow it down with medicines. I have been using Minoxidil 10% from past one year, I think its effectiveness has reduced with the passage of time. I would be grateful, if you can help me out. Am quite tensed, thanks
hello, i can understand your concernit would be very helpful if i could know your age and gender and see some pictures of your scalp.you may have telogen effluvium of female pattern hair lossor androgenic alopecia.hairfall may be due to lack of neutrients like iron or protiens in body, it may also be due to derranged thyroid levels. so to rule out telogen effluvium i would advice you to get your hb , serum ferritin and thyroid levels tested.it may be genetic too.application of minoxidil and oral biotins once a day can really be helpful to you. minoxidil is slow method, it takes time to show results and you have to be compliant with its use, leavingg it abruptly can again result in hair loss. so be patient and keep using it.still if you dont find any results you can go for procedure like prp (plasma rich platelet) therapy, it could help you as results seen are very good.and you can consider hair transplant too.hope it would help.thank you

Is there any chance that I may get pregnant?
I ve been using loette coc for the last two months as per the instructions on the leaflet. The first month was normal.21+7 followed by withdrawal flow. But the second month, I didn t get any withdrawal flow following 21+7 cycle. It s been 10 days. Is this normal? Is there any chance I got pregnant? Should I start the next blister pack even without the withdrawal flow? Should I be worried? Please help me. Thank you, Jessica.
It will be better , you get the pregnancy test before you start the new pack. Since this is the second month you have skipped your period.

Can medication for BP cause high heart beat rate?
I am 60 yrs old, 5 ft 5 in, and 197 pounds. I have had high blood pressure for the last 9 years and for the last 5 months I have had heart rate increases up to 140; for which I went to the hospital and after a couple of tests [one of which was the nuclear stress test] told me that my heart is fine. I am now wearing an event monitor and have had a few episodes of heart rate over 100. My normal heart rate has been 80 for several years. Last night my bp went down to 106/57 and this morning it has been ranging between 112/81 and 134/80 but the thing that concerns me is that my heart rate is ranging between 74 and now it is down to 60. I take two Metoprolol (50mg) per day plus a Losartin/HCT 100-12.5 mg once per day. I also get very weak spells. Is it possible that the bp meds are causing this problem?
hello,current bp medicine can cause low pulse rate but not high pulse rate. If you have episodic high heart rate then it can be a cardiac arrhythmia like psvt or atrial fibrillation, in which heart rate suddenly goes up and also suddenly decreases. Blood pressure falls during these episodes and one has dizziness, fainting, blackouts, sometimes syncope. Usually ecg is normal as it is usually done in between the episodes. ECG done during episodes will show abnormality. You will need 24 hour holter monitoring and event monitoring which you are having and we ll probably get answers out of it. Also, hemoglobin and thyroid test should be done. ln order to abort such episodes you should try to cough hard.Is there any stress or anxiety associated. You can discuss with your doctor regarding reduction in dose of metoprolol as pulse rate is low. If none of the above is successful then last option is of electrophysiological studies which is invasive test which can diagnose and treat the arrhythmia permanently in most of the cases.

Can swollen gum and lump on neck be gum infection?
My son - age 14 - with no other health problems - has suddenly (overnight) developed swelling between 3 of his lower front teeth and two painful marble-sized lumps on his neck. One of the lumps is directly under his chin, in the middle, approximately beneath where the problem with his gums is. The other lump is directly under the end (farthest back) part of his jaw. I assume it's the lymph node there. He gets regular dental checkups and had dental xrays done only 2 or 3 months ago, with no cavities or other issues. Does this sound like a tooth or gum infection and would it be better to see a dentist or a doctor? Thanks.
Thanks for using Health Care Magic.Read your query.The lumps can be due to abscess in relation to any of the three anterior lower teeth mentioned ( periodontal abscess) thus triggering the enlargement of the lymph nodes in the sub mandibular region.I would advice you to visit your dentist and get it checked to rule out the abscess,thus getting the needful treatment done.For the pain ,brufen can be given ,He may also require a dose of antibiotics.Do saline gargling.Thanks and regards.

Undergoing dialysis weekly twice. i am taking cresp once in 10 days and iron once in a week my urine out put is 5-6 times a day iam not taking any diuretic to increse can i take ZYTOR or FRUSINEX 100 can i take cresp once in a week how to naturally control potassium at present iam consuming daily cucumber and pine apple is it ok please advice
Hi Thanks for the query. 1) Dytor can increase the urine output. However it needs to be administered under the supervision of a nephrologist 2) The dose of cresp has to be adjusted by the nephrologist to target a Hemoglobin between 10-12gm/dl 3) Citrus fruits, bananas, tomatoes , green vegetables are rich in potassium. One of the ways is to cut and boil the vegetables and discar the water before eating. Hope this helps Good luck.

Suggest medication for itchiness in scalp,dandruff and hair loss
I have been losing hair for the past two years. It comes of in clumps everytime I comb or simply run my fingers through it. The condition is worse when I wash it. I have dandruff but haven't taken any medicine so far. My scalp is itchy at times. My hair is one quarter of its original thickness. What should I do?
Hello dear,Before initiation of treatment for hair fall, the problem of dandruff needs to be addressed.Dandruff is basically Seborrheic dermatitis & can be treated with shampoos or lotion containing salicylic acid, coal tar, ketoconazole, or selenium.The causes of hair loss/thinning of hair are:1. Environmental factors2. Stress3. Deficiency of certain minerals, vitamins & amino acids in diet. e.g. zinc, Vit B complex, lysine.4. Any incidence of surgery, shock, etc.Management includes:1. Treating the underlying cause2. Avoidance of stress3. Dietary modifications4. Minoxidil solution to be applied locally to stimulate the hair follicles5. Multivitamin & mineral supplementationSo, it will be better to consult a Dermatologist to find out the underlying cause & start treatment accordingly.There is no need to worry. Your hairs will grow back again.Wishing you a Good HealthTake care.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The feeling of pressure in the rectum along with a low back pain may be related to a nerve root irritation or a muscular spasm. Adequate bed rest with a combination of pain killers and muscle relaxants help in relieving the symptoms. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal [email protected]

Hi,You seem to have erectile dysfunction. In your case performance anxiety may be the cause. It is psychological in origin. You should relax and avoid negative thinking. You may take anxiolytic like tab fluoxetine 10mg daily for few months. You may take tab tadanafil 10mg 2 hours before sexual activity. Take treatment after consulting physician,dermatologist or psychiatrist.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist

What causes shaking, chills, dizziness and sweats?
My daughter has been having what starts out shaking and has cold chills and then changes to sweats and then dizziness and the final step is dry heaving. This has happened to her once she has gotten to work the last three days she has worked which are Sunday, Monday & today. I took her to our family physician Monday who said she thought it was the flu although she is not experiencing any other symptoms of the flu. She can eat and then dry heave but not vomit up what she has eaten. Our family physician prescribed her some anti-nausea medication and said she take 2 days off. There have been no episodes at all the last 2 days. She returned to work today and only an hour and a half after being there, I just got a call from her 15 minutes ago. She said the chills and shaking has started again.

What causes painful lump on collar bone?
I have a painful lump on my right collar bone right at the end by the sternum and it radiates pain to my arm, shoulder, neck. I have had this lump for about 4 years now and it is sometimes painful other times not painful but still present. It is very obvious and can even be seen through my sweaters. I have had night sweats badly for about 2 years now but was pregnant so just figured it was that. I have experienced a great deal of unexplained weight loss for over a year now to the point I dropped to 105 lbs (normally around 120). I figure the lump is probably just muscle nots since I feel it in my neck and shoulder blades but should I be getting it checked it is getting to the point I can barely move my arm.
Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump with weight loss and sweating. It can be enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. Or it can be some soft tissue tumor like neurofibroma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.

Suggest ways to cure erectile dysfunction after becoming sexually active
Sir I am married aince 2 months and I am facing the prob of ED, I did smoking and drinking for almost 10 ywars and completely left now, my height is 5 9 and weight is 95. I feel tired after office. I am not able to maintain erection during intercourse. i had thyoroid too but that is now under control. please advice me sir. i want a in-person counselling from you. i want the treatment for this since my life ia in danger sir.
Hi, I think you should consult a urologist for complete evaluation. It can happen due to stress also. But you need to rule out other causes. You may need some blood tests like a thyroid profile, prolactin level, serum testosterone, blood sugars and a lipid profile. A penile Doppler test may be needed. Depending on the cause, treatment is available. Also try to relax for sometime. Don't take stress too much. Hope it helps.

Noticed inflammation of bile ducts due to kidney stones
Hi, I am a 39 year old male and have advanced MS. I usually take oral Medrol for 3 to 4 days every two months to help with MS symptoms. It's time for my next dosing but I have inflammation of the bile ducts. My Primary physician ordered an ultrasound and the results said it was inflamed and also there is a small chance (unclear image) of a small kidney stone. Pain is dull and lessened considerably over past few days, and was clearly coming from bile ducts according to sonogram technician's examination. The lab tests and urine test reveal no blood in urine and everything but cholesterol looks pretty good. I have appointment with my physician in a week.... he won't be able to see me sooner. His staff told me if it gets bad I have to either wait for the appointment or go to the ER. The attending nurse said she wouldn't be able to help me any further unless I went and got a CT. I simply cannot afford that. I don't like to go to the ER for diagnostic purposes either--that's not what they are there for. I am not one to go to ER unless it's life threatening. I've had my gall bladder removed and have had bile duct inflammation before. This feels just like it. Last time prednisone and antibiotics worked miracles. I'm don't want to wait because not only it is very uncomfortable but I stand a chance of getting an infection if the plumbing gets bad in my body. Will taking my dose of Medrol (oral) be beneficial or harmful for the inflammation I am experiencing? My doctor won't prescribe antibiotics unless he sees me and he's just too busy for his office to squeeze me in any sooner. So it's either wait or go to ER... I have MS Contin that I take for nueropathy so I can make myself reasonably comfortable, but I would like to treat the inflammation in any way I can. I already am drinking tremendou amounts of water, pineapple iuice, cranberry juice and eating plenty of veggies. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time, Mitchell
Hi Sir,I understand your query and concern.As per your clinical description of pain,it usually points to renal stone located somewhere in the lower ureter.For this you need to have a CT scan of the abdomen for accurate assessment.Gelusil cannot control this pain.I advise you to have Tab Tramadol and Tab.Pantop 40 mg,a course of antibiotic taken under medical prescription to control this pain.Further expert management depends on the outcome of the CT scan result.If the size of stone is more than 5 cm then depending on the location of stone Extra corporeal lithotropsy can be done.Meanwhile you need to take soft and less spicy foods.Drink 3-4 litres of water everyday.Fruits,fruit juices,vegetable salads,soups should be taken.Post your further queries if any.Thank you.

What is the use of nikoran in a heart patient?
the artery in the heart of my 64 years old mother which provides blood to three-fourth parts of the body is about 80% blocked. the cardiologist has advised her to stop using Nikoran 5. Is the cardiologist right in stopping Nikoran 5? what is the use of Nikoran 5 to a heart patient.
cannot say in her particular case. In general it causes vessels of the heart to relax and allow more blood past it. In general an 80% lesion in the main heart artery is one of the few indications for heart bipass when someone is otherwise fine.

What is the redness and swelling of labia majora in a child?
My 21 month old daughter has had diarrhea for 3 days. Very loose and acidic. Taking Pedialite. drinking and eating well today. My concern is now her labia majora are red and swollen, bilaterally. Could this be related to the diaper rash, or something else?
dear parent, this is most probably due to a fungal infection. you need to keep this area as clean and dry as possible. you should apply a zinc oxide cream together with an antifungal ointment 3 times daily for a whole week

How can creatinine levels be reduced?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My nephew is 23. His creatine reached 15.8 and his pressure was also very high 195/119. He was put on dialysis three times a week and was given amlopin 5 mg and concor 5mg twice a day. He has been on dialysis for 4 months and his creatine has come down to 8 and for the past month his pressure has been normal without taking pressure tablets. He is a 6 ft tall and weighs 100 kg. His is on a salt free diet and has limited protein intake. He mainly has vegetarian food and a hard boiled egg thrice a week. Can he reduce his dialysis to twice a week? How can he reduce his creatine further? Kindly give me your advice.
Hello and welcome to HCM.As an Urologist and transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety.Your nephew has kidney failure with H.T.and now on maintainence dialysis.He needs to undergo a kidney transplantation or continue with dialysis.As his kidneys have failed,till a transplant is done,a dialysis is only option.The kidney function is reflected in the creatinine level,so it's done regularly.If his dialysis is reduced to twice weekly,his general condition will worsen.If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.

What causes blood in urine with bladder cancer?
my father is diagnosed with bladder cancer 4 months ago, he refused to take bladder out or any treatment. he was told 10-11 months to live. he has continued to urinate blood and now it is everytime he urinates and he said it is alot of blood. how long can he bleed before something happens to him?
Blood in urine is one of the presenting symptoms of bladder cancer. This is common because the tumor is like a raw surface that can bleed spontaneously or with the passage of urine over it. It is not smooth like the rest of the bladder. I am afraid to say but with no treatment and with the blood that he is loosing not being replaced he will not even last the predicted 10-11 months. He will have a massive bleed someday and expire that very day. There are other options besides getting the bladder removed. This includes radiotherapy to the bladder area. This will stop the bleeding and also have a certain chance of cure. I think you should counsel your father about it. It is a painless procedure.

Dear Subrata, If I understood your problem correctly: your mother has been started on anti-tuberculous medication on the basis of a CT and MRI scan of the brain. Even with the medication you are worried that her convulsions are continuing and the right sided weakness is continuing. All medicines take some time to act and for the limb weakness to improve it would take some time. However, the diagnosis of tuberculoma has been made on imaging grounds and if the disease is not responding to medications, then it would be appropriate to consider to get a tissue diagnosis- i.e operate to get a sample of tissue from the brain to confirm the diagnosis. Hope this answers your question.

Have allergic reaction to wine and fruit and developed numbness in foot. Have seizures from coughing. Advise?
Hello,I'm an artist and writer who just spent more than five years living in a very damp, moist room. The room is a very old (700 year old) stone and plaster room in Austria. During the time I lived there I seemed to develop allergic reactions (sneezing, runny nose) to ordinary substances like wine and fruit. I also developed numbness in the ball of my right foot and toes (the smallest and its neighbor). I do smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Since I was living in a famous wine village, I drank a lot more wine than usual. I developed a hacking cough that has been so severe at times that I actually had a seizure (convulsing fingers then fell to the floor with my head and knee banging against the wall for about 20-30 seconds in a semi-conscious state)... the seizure only happened once. I moved out of the old flat and into a modern flat in Germany 3 months ago. The numbness continues, the coughing and sneezing too & I just had a second seizure from coughing. I read some things about "mold sickness" on the internet. Is that a real possibility or just nonsense? I know I should see a doctor and will as soon as I am financially able. Can you offer any temporary advice? I forgot to mention that there was a lot of mold growing visibly on the walls (it was an old wine cellar).
Hello,Thanks for posting on HCM,First of all we would need to keep allergy aside as an exclusive causes, then consider the risk factors at hand that could predispose you to a potential lung diseases. Allergy could be considered with runny nose and sneezing, but i fear cough might be due to another underlying lung diseases.You were: - living in a moldy old house- heavy smoking and drinking- had a seizure episode- your symptoms are cough and sneezing/rhinorrheaMold sickness could be traduced into simply traduced in medical terms as inflammatory process of an organ tissue, which could be of the lungs with infection with fungi, bacteria, mycobacteria/tuberculosis. Mold illness/sickness is not an allergy. It is inflammation within the body which is caused by an immune system that has gone haywire. The term "mold illness" is a subcategory of biotoxin illness, called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). If they were molds were you lived, then aspergillosis could be the origin or even mycobacterium.At your level, there is little you can do to relief yourself of the condition and it is best you see a doctor as soon as possible.There are other possibilities that needs to be ruled out, such as tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasia etc.Hope this helps and wish you the best

Is Mucolite and Atarax vaccine safe to be given for cough?
Hi my daughter is 3 months old, she has been having cold since birth. Now she has started coughing and sneezing too, I feel she has blocked nose too for which doc has recommended nasal drops. At night I can hear weezing sound while she is asleep. Recently my pediatric checked her and told that she doesn t have cough but still she is coughing . She also suggested 8 drops of Atarax drops twice a day for 3 days and Mucolite drops thrice a day for 3 days. I just want to confirm if the drops are safe for my child. Also I have asthma problem since my childhood.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best. Thanks

Have severe pain, depression. Took lupron, zoloft. Right medication?
Hello I am a RN helping my niece with information gathering. She was on Lupron in the past and side effects were horrific but did perserve thru it to no avail. Still having severe pain and she is awaiting a consult with a Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis clinic. In the mean time her Gyne doc gave her a RX for Visanne. She has hx of depression is on zoloft. Can you shed any light on the the similarities with Lupron and this new med.
HelloLupron is luperolide and it is a drug that is mainly used in various conditions like endometriosis. The drug act on pituitary gland and thus suppresses the GnRH, a hormone of pituitary. Zoloft is sertaline and this is an antidepressant and anti anxiety drug of SSRI group. Both these drugs are different in mechanisms of action and are of different groups.Visanne is a drug that is introduced recently for long term management of endometriosis. It is a progesterone derivative that is free of serious side effects and it has some androgen action also. It is different from lupron if we consider mechanism of action.Thanks

Q. Do HIV antibodies disappear after a period of time?
Hello doctor, I need a help. I was involved in a risk a few years ago. The only reason I was aware of this risk is because of chronic diarrhea I have been getting. I did the rapid antibodies HIV 1-2 test at a clinic and there were no antibodies found. This test was done possibly a year and a half to two years after possible exposure. I am thinking there were no antibodies present in the system or have disappeared. I also went to a clinic for blood work but I have not heard back from them in over a month and I am getting really nervous because I do not know how long exactly before I would hear a response from the doctor. Do antibodies disappear and how long would I have heard from the doctor if something was present? Please help.
Hello. Your test is negative. Now go for stool culture and sensitivity test. It will tell you which medicine you may respond to. So treatment is easy. Go for western blot test before going for fourth-generation CMIA kit test for HIV. This test may tell you the truth. Till then, Bifalac sachet you can take two to three times a day. Tablet OZ (Ofloxacin, Ornidazole) two times a day after food for five days.

Q. How long should my husband and I wait to try for a baby if we did cocaine?
Hello doctor,I am trying to conceive but my husband and I did cocaine a week ago. How long should my husband and I wait to safely continue to try to get pregnant? How long until it is out of our system? How long does cocaine stay in sperm? Thanks in advance.
Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

Q. I get palpitations and irregular heartbeat. Is it due to hyperthyroidism?
Hi doctor, I have been having difficulties breathing. It feels like mucus is blocking my airways. I also have this feeling that something is stuck in my throat. I did a thyroid blood test, TSH, and T3 which were normal but T4 was high. I did thyroid scan, it showed a soft cyst of 10 mm × 8 mm in my left lobe and another one in my isthmus about 6 mm. I am having a serious stomach acid, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat, and my pause ranges between 40 to 45 each time I check it. I always feel hot, feel tired easily when doing a hard job. I would like to know if I have hyperthyroidism and for the cyst, do you think I need a surgery or is my problem something which medication can solve.
Hi. You are likely to be having thyroid cyst with hyperthyroidism and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). As far as thyroid problems are concerned, they are managed by medical treatment followed by surgery. Your other problem of thick mucous and hyperacidity can be managed by a change in lifestyle, dietary habits, and medication. You have to consult your doctor for a thorough examination and necessary investigations to manage it properly. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->

Is there any treatment to increase my penis size?
hi doctor. iam raj i masterbuate since 14years.. or more per day 3 times i masterbate now my age is 27.. an seeing unseen movies to masterbate past 3 years.. now i stopped to masterbate last 1 year 6monts.. but when i sexually arousal my penis is fully erected.. about 5 inches.. past my penis size is 6 inches.. now is there any treatment to increase penis size.. pls sugesst
Hi, there are various methods to increase your penis length. The best one is to stop frequent masturbation which you have done and I must congratulate you for that. There are various enlargement options available like appliances to increase it or weights, etc. all available online. But, I firmly believe that penis enlargement is not required at all. You are quite well endowed as you say and none of the methods available have been proven for their efficacy or safety. The medical profession has not devised any treatment for this as it is absolutely not required.Take care, Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
