The first question will be how sure you are that what you have is panic attack but moving on in a lot of cases the exact cause of the panic attack cant be isolated is there anything you notice that happens around the time you experience the attacks That could be a pointer to what might be triggering it Taking care if it will require you to go see a doctor who will asses you and recommend best line of treatment drugs or therapy Panic attacks are totally treatable dont fret

Is it a must to get a crown after my my root canal therapy

0.999997
Its compulsory but it advisable you do so In most cases integrity and structure of the remaining crown of the tooth is not as strong as what it was before the Root Canal Therapy was done getting a crown will help improve this and reduce the possibility of fracture of the remaining crown structure or failure of the treatment done

31

0.999997
The recurrent itch could be aa a result of different things but there are cases of people reacting to the water used for bathing so it could be as a result of the water you use remedy could revolve around heating the water for bath adding dettol to the water scrubbing gently usage of moisturisers after bath these steps should bring some remedy but if the itch persists you might need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation I hope you find thus useful

0.999997
The question will be why the friend wants to gain weight overall there is no special benefit from gaining weight except the person is presently underweight The person should calculate hisher BMI and compare to standards to know if the weight is appropriate With respect to gaining weight ill advise the person to not take any weight gaining drug offered by anyone it could be potentially dangerous to the overall health Eat well live well and adopt an healthy lifestyle as long heshe is not underweight no cause to worry

0.999995
If there is a new pain you were not having that has just begun and if you do feel a hard mass like you said my advice will be for you to go see a doctor for assessment some tests will be ordered to ascertain why you are having that mass and what it might be the results will influence the course of action to be taken Pains in the breast during menstruation is a known occurrence in some groups of women if it is something that is just occuring you can try to do a self breast examination to look for a lump if there is one also present to a doctor for further assesment Thanks

Hi there Mouth odour otherwise known as Halitosis can really be distressing and embarrassing so we perfectly understand what your friend is going through Bad breath is usually caused by poor oral hygiene you however mentioned your friend brushes twice daily It is safe to assume that he probably is getting his technique wrong or there might be another cause Your friend can try flossing after each meal and use a nonalcohol based mouth wash too It is important he visits a dentist for proper education of teeth brushing and also further evaluation for other possible causes of bad breath such as gum disease tooth decay or mouth infections We hope he finds a lasting solution Glad to have you here on Wellvis

If someone has unprotected sex and there was ejaculation is there anything that can be done to ensure the person does not get pregnant
25

0.999997
Hi there You can get an emergency contraceptive to prevent pregnancy options include the popular postpillpostinor which contains Levenogestrel this should be used within three days of the unprotected sexual intercourse Other options include Ulipristal acetate 30mg using an IUCD note this can be used within 5 days of unprotected intercourse The best advise however remains to use a condom and it will not only protect against unwanted pregnancy it also will help reduce the chances of you getting a sexually transmitted infection such as HIV

0.999997
Teething doesnt cause stooling if your child is stooling then the child must have eaten something or drunk something that infected the child In such cases buy ORS they are easily available at any pharmacy or chemist and give the child to replace any fluid lost If stool gets too frequent or she vomits along with it take the child to the health centre Finally teething is a normal thing in the growth of the child it is not an illness or a sign of one

Usually teething age is the exploratory age for toddlers and their number one tool for exploring is their mouth They tend to put a lot of dirty objects in their mouths at this period that coincides with thevtime the maternal immunity is wearing off too Their guns itch also at the period hence the need to put things in their mouth So try as much as possible to keep the environment clean for the child and remove stuff it can put in the mouth

Occasional light or social smoking though not as regular smoking still has attendant risks for anyone engaging in it Yes the risks are lower compared to regular smokers but it is still there risks of heart disease lung disease and other cancers women are not exempt and women who are occasional smokers are susceptible to this too There is also the problem of people thinking they are occasional smokers but not knowing they are taking too much to just be occasional smokers Smoking generally has no overall benefits its best avoided Even people who are around smokers are at risk It is best for us to shun smoking in any form or level of occurrence

I am at first curious by what short of blood means but in most cases i have heard it used people imply that they dont feel as strong as they expect so they indulge in the consumption of blood tonics which is not a totally reasonable thing to do Stress and fatigue can make you have these kind of feeling including body pains at times all you might need is to take some rest or break The human body is not a machine it needs rest too then please dont make an habit of using painkillers there are attendant bad effects that come with overusing them If the body pains are persistent do see a doctor for better evaluation If you are still worried that you are short of blood go run a blood level test and ask for what it says

Right said by Ayomide Another perspective is to define weight gain versus adding on subcutaneous fat Gym and body building exercises can help to increase muscle mass and bone density leading to overall weight gain This may be healthy But if your friend wants increased fat mass no benefits here at all

All of a sudden I have been having episodes of panic attacks who can help me understand the cause and how to prevent them
24
121
0.999996
First off it is completely natural to panic when you find yourself in a situation that is dangerous or stressful But if you find yourself panicking frequently for no apparent reason then you might be suffering from a panic disorder Panic attacks are sometimes triggered by certain memories or events in your life Other times they can happen spontaneously without any trigger So to understand the cause you need to try and remember if you had any specific thoughts or experienced certain things before your previous panic episodes occurred As for treatment firstly you need to understand that panic attacks are not life threatening meaning that you are not likely to die or be physically harmed from having a panic attack So relax The next time you have a panic attack do the following 1 Stay where you are 2 Breathe in and out deeply and slowly 3 Remind yourself that it is just another panic attack and it will be over in a few minutes Panic attacks usually resolve on their own within 5 20 minutes However if your panic attacks are so frequent that they prevent you from having a normal day at work or at home then you need to visit a psychologist The psychologist may ask you to perform some exercises on a regualr basis and may also prescribe some medications to help Overall you should be fine eventually

0.999998
First off you cannot be sure that you are short of blood unless you can actually see a significant amount of blood leaving your body That said if you feel weak and you think it might be because you are short of blood Again you cannot know that for sure There are several other reasons that can explain the weakness youre feeling What you need to do is to see a doctor who will then ask you to explain your all symptoms in detail You may be asked to do some tests the doctor will explain the results to you and the doctor will let you know what to do afterwards depending on whether or not your blood turned out to be short Lol

27
118
0.999995
Hi good morning I guess this stooling episode is not his usual pattern hence your worry In a situation like this the best course of action is to ensure he keeps eating and also you can buy ORS at any chemist and prepare as directed on the body of its package give him to drink anytime he passes stool once you ensire these therw wont be any issue with dehydration which is one of the major problems when a child stools excessively no need for antibiotics it is just a waste of resources bit if the frequency of stool increases and he stops eating or drinking the ORS then please take him to the hospital asap As things stand just ensure he eats and drinks his ORS and after a few days the episode will stop

Migraine is a medical diagnosis if you have been diagnosed of migraine then tou must have drugs whicu you have been placed on to use routinely or relieve the headaches but if you arw having this severe headache which paracetamol has failed to relieve you can try Naproxen or Ibuprofen i believe these will help In the long term you should eat well sleep well try to exercise and avoid stress also staying in a place with lesser light taking a beverage coffee will be helpful during the headache episodes Let me know if any of this was helpful

31

0.999998
Hi so the safety limits for alcohol vary from place to place but a generally acceptable one is thay one shouldnt take more than 14 units of alcohol in a week Using a bottle of Heineken in Nigeria which is 33CL you shouldnt take more than 10 12 of it in a week It is best to speead this out though This is the same for all 5 beer of the same size With bigger bottles like 5054 cl you will be looking at 5 6 bottles safely for a week

I will cautiously say this might be just a pain in your muscles could be occuring due to maybe your posture how you sit at work how you sleep or at times could just happen for no obvious reason Mostly the use of topical analgesic creams like Neurogesic could be helpful but you should also consider adjustments to your pillow seat at work and posture Those could be helpful longterm in preventing recurrence If these dont work and it persists then see a doctor for physical evaluation

Stretch marks usually appear when there is a rapid weight gain which leads to a stretch of the skin as against what might happen in an incremental weight gain that allows the skin to adjust So like you would like to know a new appearance of it will point towards weight gain but the best way to know if there is a change in body mass is to measure your weight and compare over time

Hello Wellvis Thanks for the great job on here Id like to know if theres any such thing as a burst uterus and under what conditions such may occur
34

0.999996
I guess you are talking about ruptured uterus and it is a rare event The uterus is made up of a mass of muscles so depending on its state integrity and rate of contraction it could tear and this will be described as a rupture It can also happen in uterus that have been breached before due to ceaserean section

0.999997
From your question I guess you either percieve there is a smell during intercourse or your sexual partner complains The truth is the vagina has a particular smell and yes it shouldnt be foul but this will occur as a result of an infection most likely and along with this there will be discharge Washing the vagina also known as douching is not a good idea it messes with the way the vagina is and can actually increase your chances of getting infections Continued on next comment

And also condoms have a particular smell so what you are smelling mig6ut actually be the condom So my guess is its not an odour from your vagina per se If you perceive odour having a discharge and there is itch then to go see a doctor for evaluation and appropriate management NB responses in threads are not anonymous so to ask a follow up kindly post it as a new question to protect your anonymity

Hi good evening I will like to know the pattern of this stomach ache and what seems to trigger them How frequently they occur and what you might have used for it in the past Recurrent stomach aches could be due to different reasons one of the commonest around here is the usual ulcer and while it is quite discomforting it is easily manageable and with good decisions can be prevented from recurring Your answers to some of the above questions will help get some clarity

It could be just an irregular upset that has no far reaching consequences it could also be a case of the usual ulcer like i stated above I wil advice that if the episodes become more frequent or the severity of the pain worsens then going to see a doctor for a more appropriate evaluation will be a good idea In the interim having some antacids in hand to use might be helpful
