|
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.Testicles are usually not of same size so this is not worrying. Only if there is significantly smaller testicle then it may be sign of atrophy. However in your case this type of pain and location is suggestive of epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances. MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

How to treat partial humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament(HAGHL)?
I have a partial humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGHL) and there is a small locular subcoracoid bursal effusion. My question is are there any other treatments out there beside surgery? Right now I have very little use of my Right arm without pain.
|
HiThe gleno humeral ligament tear has to be repaired,there's no alternative.The sub coracoid bursa may be infiltrated with depomedrol injection for now, but if open repair of glenohumeral ligament is undertaken, this bura may be excised in same sitting once the area is exposed in surgery.Support arm in a sling and avoid all movements of shoulder and plan for earliest repair.Take tramadol100mg sos for severe pain and ace -proxyvon tablets1 BD for 5 days .Apply voltaren gel locally on shoulder.

Q. I consumed alcohol and walked for one hour, my heart rate increased. Why?
Hello doctor, I had wine and beer at a dinner party, after which I decided to go for a walk for about one hour. While walking, my heart rate increased to 133 bpm, then lowered to 116 bpm. I went home and sat down, waiting for my rate to recover under 100 bpm. It was 112 bpm after two to three minutes and dropped to 103 bpm. Then it took 17 minutes to drop down to 93 bpm. I did stress echo, echo, ECG, full blood panel and holter monitor. All results are clear.
|
Hello. This is likely due to the effect of alcohol, coupled with your baseline anxiety and activities. Normally, the heart rate goes up whenever one does activities like walking. But due to the effect of alcohol, heart rate elevation was persistent. Also, there must be some component of anxiety, as well. So mere heart rate elevation does not suggest any particular abnormalities. Most of the times, this is physiological and in response to the bodily factors. However, alcohol may cause cardiac arrhythmia like atrial fibrillation, which also involves heart rate elevation. But it is unlikely to be fibrillation because fibrillation involves sudden elevation and sudden offset rather than gradual onset. One would have palpitations and irregularities in heart beating in this case. It will not follow activities. It would be associated with other symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, sweating, or shortness of breath.So, I do not think there is anything to worry about it. If you also have a baseline elevated heart rate at other times as well, then you should do regular exercises to increase the vagal tone and lower the heart rate. I hope this helps.

Pimples on face, having hard waxy cores, recurring condition. Using gentle cleanser. Treatment?
I have several pimples on my face that have hard waxy cores. Sometimes they squeeze out and other times I pull them out with tweezers. I wash my face regularly with a gentle cleanser. But they keep coming back. I had perfect skin until 7 years ago at age 35 I developed acne . Help what are they and how do I make it better
|
Hello Dear Thanks for your query. Your words suggest you are having Acne vulgaris. Dont worry too much .... Do not squeeze or scratch the pimples.Keep your skin clean,Have healthy diet & lots of fluids.Avoid too much oily foods.Apply topical Clindamycin gel over the pimples for a month.You can use topical tretinoin over the comedones [ but be careful as sensitive persons develop burning sensation and redness after application]..and if have you are having too much of nodulocystic acne you can use oral Isotretinoin for 4-6 months [but always under supervision of your dermatologist] Hope this helps you. Stay in touch with your dermatologist. Take care :)

Can I take diaformin instead of metformin when having PCOS?
I'm a pcos patient, dr told mi to get metformin and clomid so i went to pharmacy and ask for it and they gave diaformin(metformin hydrochloride), i want pregnancy for 4 yrs so i need your help if i take this dose will i be getting positive ans.. Tank you
|
**1. Diaformin/metformin are same and is prescribed to those with high blood sugar [diabetes], and is often seen/observed in women with PCOS who have insulin issues which affect weight gain and fertility.. Clomid [clomiphene] is a fertility drug given to help women for ovulation, with irregular cycles.2. Because PCOS can occur independently or secondary to other disease thus do check with your thyroid profile [under active thyroid], and since PCOS is due to low metabolism (digestive fire) thus drugs given to you will work/function by increasing the Metabolism by acting as deepana, pacahana,ushna,tekshna, sukshma,lekhana drugs and thus reducing the symptoms.3. Avoid fatty food,curd,late night work,soyabean,milk,mustard oil,cabbage, and take moong dal,tambul,saindhav,tandulodak,coconut water, vegetable soups

How to cure a lump inside the inner arm?
I have a lump inside my inner arm, where my elbow crease is. It is approx 30-40mm, perfectly round, and somewhat moveable. The lump itself is hard, but it moves a bit inside my arm. It is not on a joint/bone/etc, sort of floating around in the skin/fatty area on the inner part. It is painful to the touch, feels similar to a bad bruise. I haver had any trauma to the area that I can think of (though I am active with my 2 and 4 year old so it s possible). It s appeared in the past 48 hours and is becoming slightly more painful (slight numbness on that area of my arm). Help! Any ideas? No health issues, female 32 years old.
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymphnode, benign cyst, lipoma or other soft tissue tumor like neurofibroma. You should go for biopsy of that lump. 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.

Moving ball in lower back. Painful. Lipomas? Alternate for surgery?
Hello , i have a smalll ball like thing floating in my lower back . It barely causes any pain until it is moved. Although sometimes when i lie down they are painful . Is that something serious. How can i get it checked?I have read people posting similar problems, they have mostly been told about lipomas. Is this a lipoma? If so , the only way to get rid of it is a surgery , i already have a surgery scheduled next month , if you can please tell me any other way to get rid of it , probably by antibiotics , if any?Thanks Ishaan
|
Hello and welcome to HCM, A mobile (floating) mass on the back can be due to proliferation of adipose tissue, connective tissue, other soft tissue, etc. A proliferation of adipose tissue is called lipoma. A soft and mobile mass on the back can be a lipoma but few investigations need to be done before planning the treatment. A fine needle aspiration of the mass needs to be done. This test is an office procedure which samples the cells in the mass. These cells are examined microscopically and the nature and origin of the lesion is determined. On the basis of result of this test, further management will be planned. In case this mass turns out to be a lipoma, surgical treatment is the only modality of treatment. It cannot be treated by antibiotics or by any conservatively. Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal

What is the treatment for rotavirus infection and diarrhea?
my baby(10 months) was having rota virus infection and he suffered from diarrhoea for about a month. then our Dr suggested us urine test(complete and culture) when my baby developed fever . the report says that urine is full of pus cells , globulin is ++, culture test has detected the presence of E. coli bacteria. we are giving him Taxim o syrup and he is much better now..what else is required plz suggest...

Nerve pain due to C5-C6 ruptured disc, taking anti-inflammatory medication
I am in so much pain need advice being seeing a Nurosurgeon for c5-c6 ruptured disk which is giving me nerve pain Bad. Been on anti inflams for 5 months. Had quaterzone needle in my neck helped for 2 weeks now last week and a bit pain is so bad taking oxycodne 10mg and panadol oysto. Have had 3 oxy since 5 last night still haven t sleeped.
|
HiThank you for your question.Seems like you have tried antiinflammatory medications. This is a first line treatment option. Most of the patients respond to this with or without physical therapy. You also had epidural steroid injection (cortisone) which is a second line. The pain is worsening even after these which is an indication for surgery. Please consult a spine surgeon.Wish you the best.

What does this scan report of thorax indicate?
the patient's ct scan report of thorax says the following: minimally enhancing mixed enhancing attenuating mass lesion across posterio-lateral aspect of right upper lobe with right axillary lymphadenopathy. TNM STAGING T3 N1MO. Opinion required urgently.
|
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the report you're have mentioned. This report clearly suggest that patient is having malignant looking lung mass in right upper lobe. Patient is also having mediastinal Lymphadenopathy. So possibility of lung cancer is more. Next step would be, Biopsy from the mass to identify the type of malignancy. On the basis of the type of malignancy, further step in treatment is decided. Chemotherapy should be given to reduce the tumour size and make it more resectable (operable). Enblock resection is treatment of choice. So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks.

Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD?
Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well.
|
Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help.

What causes lower back spasms with pain and fatigue?
Lower back spasms, pain, chills, fever, and fatigue. Fever at 104 now. Contraction like spasms ever 5-8 hours. Three weeks of pain. Doc keeps saying its just a back spasm but the muscle relax, pain med and anti immflam aren t fixing anything and barely keeping my husband functional.

Can sensation of tightness in the upper thigh a referred pain from a pinched nerve in a person with scoliosis?
I have scoliosis. A very mild case that was diagnosed when I was 9. Since then I have been an accomplished athlete and dancer and have made my living as a personal trainer-Pilates instructor for 25 years. I have always been aware of a bit of QL issues on one side from the scoliosis. The last few years I have been aware of a new sensation of tightness in the upper thigh on the same side. is there a referred pain fro ma pinched nerve that could be occuring?My core is strong and I'm flexible. There is not over use with athletics.

Hi,Thank you for posting your query.Yes, your symptoms are most likely due to a pinched nerve in the thigh region. The nerve most commonly affected is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh, and it commonly gets pinched under the inguinal ligament in the groin region.Your mild scoliosis is probably not related to your current problem.Please consult a neurologist for evaluation.I hope my reply has helped you.I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

What causes child to scream, pass frequent urine and frothy stools?
hi doctor i have a male baby who is 5 1/2 months old, for the past four nights he screams suddenly for sometime and passes urine and also has increased frequency of passing frothy stools for more than 10 times since three days please help me in this regard. he also intakes 1 scoop of cerelac twice a day.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).Regarding diet - You can use cerelac...any flavour will do. Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,

I am unable to hold any food down and shivering like crazy
It started with a sore throat (10pm) which then ended up in partial voice loss. four hours later (2am) after I had gone to bed, my sore throat was gone, but I was vomiting like crazy and shivering so badly it hurt. I took some advil which helped the shivering, but now I am still unable to hold my food down wether it be toast or water. Is this some possesed form of a stomach flu?
|
Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic. Fever with chills(shivering) & vomiting indicate that you have some infection. Soar throat & voice loss with the above shows that the infection could be in your throat. Severe vomiting, could again be due to an infection in your intestines. A physical examination & some tests could help pinpoint the site of infection.

Q. Should I seek further treatment for my septic joint?
Hi doctor, Before 10 days, I got a cut on my knee. Two days later, I swam in the contaminated water. Then, I realized that my knee was extremely red, inflamed, tender and spreading outward from the site of the cut (first image). I cleaned the wound with alcohol and did not seek treatment. The following morning, the redness had gone down, and there was less tenderness. Three days later, I started on antibiotics (Cephalexin) four times a day for 10 days. The doctor who prescribed the antibiotics said he was concerned it may be a septic joint. The second image was taken last night. Should I seek further medical treatment for the septic joint? I can walk, run and bend my knee. However, it is a bit stiff. I am not sure if this is just the scab. I do not want to leave this and allow the condition to progress. I also have seven more days of antibiotics to complete, so I do not want to jump to conclusions. Please advise.

Hi. I have gone through your history and the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Ultrasound knee. For further information consult a rheumatologist online.--->

What causes lower back pain with thick white discharge from vagina?
I am having pain on my left side and lower back and I have been feeling like i need to urinate but only void less then 50 ccs. After the last time I voided I had thick brown discharge. I am not on my period haven't been for a lest one week maybe two. Is this a sign of my kidneys
|
No, this is not a sign of kidney problem. Low back pain with discharge per vagina suggest pelvic inflammatory disease. I would suggest you to have Tab Norflox-TZ twice daily for 7 days along with Tab Diclomol. Drink plenty of water and maintain good local cleanliness. If symptoms doesn't relieve after that also, Get a gynecologist opinion.

Have radiating pain in the flank. Test show minor infection in WBC. Puffed eyes. Green stool, sore anus, smear blood. Problem?
I'm 23-year-old woman, went to the ER 9 days ago with severe, radiating pain in the flank, running a low fever for a week or more prior to that. Dr. in the ER ran CT scan of the abdomen and did urine and blood test. Minor infection identified in the white cell blood count (he said that only when I inquired about it) and said that he thought i have a kidney stone, but could not find one on the scan. Sent me home with an antibiotic which I took for 7 days. During this time, the pain went away, but I showed sign of water retention and puffyines around my eyes like I have never seen before. The day after I finished my antibiotics, I started having green stool and sore anus, a little bit of smear of blood. The next day the same. The I have a bowel movement a few days a week. I eat healthy, home-cooked meals. I'm scheduled to see my family doctor tomorrow but I'm really worried. Sharp pain, cramps, pressure in the abdomen comes and goes and is awful!
|
hi.. thanks for using HCM..you had pain in the renal angle, probably had renal stone with urinary tract infection which was treated with antibiotics..now you have green coloured stools and sore anus.. suggest antibiotic induced diarrhea and lactose intolerence (transient) leading to acid stools which causes excoriation of skin..now take some probiotics, and follow milk free diet for 1 week..for renal stone.. get one more ultrasound/ct scan done..see your urologist for this..all the very best..

I have been told after testing by a cardiologist that I have a heart murmur and given three daily prescriptions which I take faithfully ever day.

red spot found after the tab test , what is the remedy ?
8 months ago I had a tab test done because I am a deputy and work inside a jail! There was no effect at all on my skin! I had another done yesterday and I have a red spot were it was injected which didn t happen last time! Could this still be a negative result? There is no bump just redness!
|
Hi,I can understand your concern for the tab testing and its different results. YOu should know that it is a screening test and is used to screen certain people who are at high risk for TB exposure.Positive results mean that a person is likely to have been exposed to TB. They may be due to a latent or active TB infection, or occasionally due to a false positive.Negative results for either test may mean that a person has not been exposed to TB, that the person is not infected with tuberculosis, that their immune system has not responded to the antigen in the test, or that it is too early to detect exposure.Hope this information relax you.Take care.

Had purple-brown discharge. On Sronyx birth control. Related?
I'm definitely not sexually active, but yesterday I found this purplish brownish discharge in my underwear. I'm supposed to start my period in about a week and am on birth control for my migraines. I put a tampon in and took it out later to see if I could figure out if it was blood or whatever it was. But it didn't smell right or look right. When I put it in the toilet it filled up with water and definitely showed that it was, in fact, a purple. Could you tell me what it possibly is? Maybe a side effect of the sronyx(the birth control I'm using)? I'm going off of that soon because of other side effects, so is that a possibility?

Hello,If you are not sexually active, then above features may be presented as side effect of the pill. It is quite common for the beginners.Other reasons are hormonal imbalance, vaginal/ pelvic infection, over wt, stress, old endometrial tissue etc.You need to get examined once by your gynecologist to make sure. Maintain your genital hygiene properly. Good luck.

You have an ADJUSTMENT DISORDER, To overcome it You need some PSYCHOTHERAPHY mainly. A counselling will help you to get out of it.

But it needs support from your husband also. Nothing to worry just go to a psychiatrist with your husband. He will show you the right way.

What causes swelling in lower jaw, dizziness, fever and vertigo?
Hi. last several days I've noticed the left side on bottom jaw is swullon pretty sure its a lymph node bout the ipsize of a quarter moves around like a ball slightly tender more noticable when i turn my neck but. only on the left bottom jawline. Infection? I do suffer from allergies and as of two wks ago had a steroid injection i am positive it has nothing to do with bad teeth or gums i have been feeling rather dizzy last several days and runnning low grade tempi have had vertigo. my eyes would rapidly twitch and full blown head spinning feeling along side with facial spasms and often get swullon eyes and eye headaches.
|
Hello,Thanks for consulting HCMRead your query as you have swelling in lower jaw with swollen lymph node this can be due to infection in gums may be periapical infection or periodontal infection causing submandibular lymph node swelling, or it can be due to rise in body temperature . For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for oral examination and lymph node examination , inmeantime do warm saline gargle .Hope this will help you.

What causes joint pains?
painful joints I have pain in almost all of my joints, my knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, shoulders, hips, back, and neck. Does this mean that i could have RA. If I am on my feet for a while my ankles start to hurt. My elbows hurt if they are bent for a while or just straight. some times my fingers get numb, it will start with my pinky finger, then go to my ring finger, then it will just be my whole hand.
|
Hello, Please perform a blood test to rule out RA. If the test is positive then RA could be the diagnosis, but if it's negative then we need to look out for other factors like nerve impingement. An MRI will be advised and post which the treatment shall begin with anti-inflammatory Medications or pain killers. In either of the case above - I will advice you to use cervical soft collar, do hot water fermentation, perform static neck exercises, shoulder stabilization exercises, inter-scapular muscle strengthening exercises, upper limb strengthening exercises, core stability exercise, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, static Quadriceps, static hamstring, straight leg raise etc to improve the joint stability and muscle strength. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist

On implanon. Missing periods, painful sex, cramping, pain in the back and legs. Miscarriage?
I am on implanon, it's been 4 yrs without my period. Yesterday something felt no right down there, irritated.. But not yeast infection, sex last night was very painful and never is. Today I woke up with heavy bleeding, cramping that feels like contractions and causes me to breathe heavy and pain in my back and legs. Is this just a period or am I having a miscarriage?
|
Hello,thanks for using health care magicImplanon is a progestin based hormonal contraceptives. The most common side effects are changes in menstrual patterns including absence of menses which is the case with you. Other possible side effects is the formation of clots that produce that produce severe pains in the location affected. The calf muscle and lungs are frequently being affected by clots and clot formation could be potentially dangerous and lethal. The risk of clot formation is even more in women with other risk factors such as obesity, cigarette smoking etc.Generally, it protects for a period of three years. After which the effectiveness is no longer guaranteed. Haven been on the implanon for over four years, the bleeding you experience could be due to a miscarriage or an abnormal bleeding related to implanon decrease.However, it is necessary to do a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy and to see a doctor to rule out a deep venous thrombosis ( clot).Best regards and hope this helps you.Dr Achuo

Please recommend the cure for this treatment,A good hospital and doctors. Thanks
|
HelloAs you mentioned that your step mother is having initial stage of tuberculosis . She is also having high blood pressure , weakness , weight loss.Weakness , weight loss may be due to fever for three months .I have seen that once patient starts anti tubercular treatment , respond very rapid. From day ( as an anti tubercular patient ) one appetite improve , fever subside .So there are so many hospitals.But , since she is a tubercular patient , take it easy , consult a "CHEST& TUBERCULOSIS SPECIALIST" and get treatment .Mind it don't stop treatment without doctor advice .Usually I have noted in my patient that they once improve , stop treatment , this causes many problems .For hypertension , take regular treatment .Good luck.

Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex?
Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods?
|
Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->

What causes heaviness on right side of the body?
My dad aged 65 had an haemorrphage stroke three months and his whole right side of the body is paralyzed. Though he is now able to recover after 3 months of medication, and able to walk on its own, for the last two weeks, he is having lot of heaviness on his whole right side of the body and stopped doing the physiotheraphy. Consulted with all the doctors on the heaviness but no help. Day by day,his sleep had decreased because of the heaviness in his body (when I touch his hip or leg, it s as if touching the rock). He is not able to tolerate the heaviness. Because of this, his BP is on a higher level now. Consulted with many surgeons but the medication didn t work. Not sure of what s the problem on his heaviness.
|
Hello,Welcome to health care magic. I am Dr Alok Sinha, MD Psychiatry from India. I can understand your concern. I will try my best to answer your query.I have carefully read your question and could understand that your dad is suffering from haemorrhagic stroke since 03 months and gradually he has recovered, but suddenly experiencing heaviness of right half for last 2 weeks.Firstly, let me tell you that these are not good signs as these point towards another episode of stroke.On scrutiny of the information provided by you, it appears that your father is also having uncontrolled hypertension. Hypertension is a main cause of bleed and results in haemorrhagic stroke. Re-bleed may recur if hypertension is poorly controlled. This has happened with your father. Because of recurrence of stroke he had suddenly developed motor and sensory weakness leading to heaviness feeling in right side of body. He is also having poor sleep which points more towards recent insult to brain (a fresh stroke). Please consult a neurologist who may advise you to get a fresh MRI done for diagnosis and then may advise you accordingly.Hope it answers your question. I wish your father a better health.

What is endometrial receptivity array report for?
I have been under 2 IVF (6 embryo transfer) cycles that were all not successful - I have visit a new IVF center and again 2IVF (2 embryo transfer) cycles that were all not successful. After that doctor has sugeested for Era report before going for next ivf. That Report is normal as per doctor it is p+5. I have visited doctor at second day of my period and he has done a scan on my whom and ovaries. And suggested to visit again at 12th day of my period for checkup and he said that tranfer will be on 15th-16th day of period. i would like to know that in this case what is meaning of ERA because earlier in 2 cycle they have transfered on 15th or 16th day so what is meaning of ERA. And i want to know that what should be the uterus size before transfer and miprogen or progaynova is useful to increase size of uterus please answer as soon as possible
|
Hello there, Thanks for writing in. I learnt from your writing that you have so far undergone 4 ivf cycles which were unsuccessful. Let me help you understand in this scenario the meaning of 'implantation failure'. When pregnancy test comes negative in two or more ivf cycles where 6 or more reasonably good quality embryos are transferred then it is assumed to be implantation failure which means the embryo has failed to get burried in the soil(which is endometrium). When the embryo is transferred, the endometrium needs to receive it with the help of finger like microscopic structures to help it get burried . And the endometrium can do it only within a very short time frame, usually 6 to 7days post ovulation. Sometimes this timeframe within which it can receive seems to be shifted either early in the cycle or later. By doing an ERA(Endometrium receptivity array) test we are able to predict this timeframe much precisely so that the embryo transfer can be timed accordingly. 2. The size of the uterus doesn't matter for pregnancy unless its extremely small. 3. Progynova is not being used for increasing the size of uterus.Hope your question is satisfactorily answered. Good luck.

Is there any side effect for ocid 20 tablet for testis pain?

HelloThanks for query .You have pain in testicle.Ideally you need to consult your family physician or General Surgeon to find out the cause of pain in testicle .You need to get following basic tests done to establish diagnosis.1) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum2) Routine Urine Test.Ocid 20 is antacid and helps to relieve pain due to gastric discomfort which is associated with testicular pain.However the primary cause has to be dealt with after proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.Dr.Patil.

Q. Excessive masturbation is resulting in nightfall and early ejection. Why?
Hello doctor, I am a 25-year old male. My problem is excess night fall as I am masturbating since around the age of 13-14. Now I ejaculate within 30 seconds and I am scared of marrying now thinking of failure on the bed. So please tell me what to do? And the physical health of my penis is not as I expect and the reason behind it is masturbation?
|
Hi. As per your history, you are suffering from chronic masturbation. Nowadays, masturbation is very common in the younger generation. If you masturbate two times a week it is normal. But if you do frequently it is bad for your health. How to stop the addiction of masturbation? Stay busy and less alone, find another outlet for your time and energy. Fill your life with engaging activities. The excitement of doing something different can help replace the urge to masturbate, and you will have a go-to distraction next time when you are tempted. Stop punishing oneself and do not be despondent. Remove triggers that tempt one to masturbate. Be persistent and patient. You should be busy with your daily routine. Do regular exercise and join the gym. I hope this helps.

What causes chest pain and fever after altitude travel?
Hello, I recently traveled up to Mammoth (elevation between 7900 - 8900 ft) for the Memorial Day Weekend. We arrived on Friday evening. I felt fine all day Saturday and Sunday. After going in to bed on Sunday night I was restless and had a hard time sleeping. I started shivering and had chills. I think I started to scare myself and started having some anxiety which was making me feel like I wasn t breathing right - though I know I wasn t really breathless, didn t have shortness of breath nor was my heart rate irregular. I ended up taking my temperature at it was just under 100 degrees (normal for me is in the 97-low 98 degrees). I could tell my temperature rose a bit more as I got really warm then sweaty. I felt very dehydrated and kept drinking a lot of fluids. I was somewhat dizzy and felt a slighly nauseated. I couldn t sleep for most of the night. I took some ibuprofin and finally dosed off around 4 in the morning. I woke up around 6/7 am and didn t feel any better. My fever had come back (still low grade) and then I had a headache and body aches. I did start having some chest tightness and aches in my chest area too - similar to when my asthma acts up. As the morning went on I felt a little bit better but still had a headache, body aches and low grade fever. We left the area around noon and went back home (which is close to sea level). I felt much better still had some of the symptoms. My fever rose to almost 101 during the night (last night) but dropped after taking ibuprofin this morning. I still have had a slight headache but it and the aches have improved. Temperature hasn t risen since the night again. Question - does this sound more like a flu or virus or could it have been altitude sickness? or something else? Some of the symptoms sound like it could have been but not sure since I did have a fever and it came on after 48 hrs of being at that elevation (we slept at the lower elevation).
|
Hi, Your chest pain and fever look more like flu than altitude sickness, when fever is present body aches will be there and heart activity will be increased so that chest tightness and pain you have felt. Your headache also favours more towards flu, just if you get another episode of same just consult a physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Pusarla Naga Sai Lakshmi, Cardiac Surgeon

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 -->

Suggest medication for persistent asthma
My son is 5 yrs old and is asthamatic since he was 2 yrs 3 months. we started giving him homeopathy since then. 4 months back he was admitted in hospital since homeo medicine dint work & he had very serious attack. after then we started giving him allopathy also. doc presribed him montek lc kid for 3 months. we are giving homeo medicine also. but when he gets attack we give asthalin inhaler and he gets relief. i am in a state of confusion whether we are going in a right path. what is better for him. homeo medicine is slow in response when he gets attack and we dont want him to suffer coz of this. Doc pls suggest is there is something better for him than wht we are doing.which pathy is better
|
Hello.Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for your son:1. As long as allopathy is concerned, I would agree to use montelukast & levocetirizine (Montek-LC-Kid) on regular basis. However, at 5 years of age, dose of montelukast may need to be increased.2. I would also agree that your son would need to use asthalin (salbutamol) inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for wheezing/breathing difficulty symptoms. However, if he needs to use it frequently (more than twice in a week), I would suggest him regular inhaled corticosteroids.3. I would suggest your son allergy testing for air-borne and food allergens. It will help you identify the substances causing allergies to him and also to know the measures to avoid them.Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe him allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually improves allergy symptoms by working on immune system.4. I would also suggest him a nutrition rich diet.Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.Wish your son the best of the health.Thank you & Regards.

Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD?
Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well.
|
Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help.

Suggest medication for pain on right elbow due to an injury
Earlier today I was getting out of a trailered boat and my shorts got caught on a cleat causing me to fall from the deck of the boat to the ground. I landed on hands and elows with most of the pain in my right elbow. For a few seconds I thought I might have broken my arm but the pain subsided much more quickly than I would have thought, given how far I fell. What I did not expect was the nausea that followed. I did not vomit but thought I might. This lasted for several minutes and I am just curious what that was an indication of. Within about a half hour I was mostly back to normal. I am a 65 year old woman. Thanks.
|
Hello,Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, at your age and with the type of fall you describe, its must to have an X Ray of the elbow done, I hope it comes out to be normal, but there are chances that you would be having some undisplaced fracture which might later displace, and cause trouble.I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.Thanks.

Trying to conceive, both partners have low fertility. Will progynova increase fertility?
My husband and I have been trying on and off for 7 yrs to have a child. We have been to many doctors and though have both been tested for infertility . All I was told is that my monthly ovulation count was down for someone of my age (I m currently 24) and that I have a slightly higher than average testosterone count for a woman of my age. After two years of online research, the drug Progynova has come to my attention. Can I take progynova to increase my chance of falling pregnant?
|
hi aztec, I have read your question, Progynova tablets contain estradiol valerate , Progynova contains estradiol valerate, an ester of the endogenous female estrogen, which following regular oral administration eliminates the characteristic estrogen deficiency symptoms in the postmenopause or after oophorectomy or radiological castration for non-carcinomatous diseases. This drug is used only to reduce premenopausal symptoms , and after oophorectomy , not for infertility , so you need not use this drug. I recommend you to consult an gynecologist for further advice, Wishing you a good health, DR.G.Gayatri devi.

Hi, Stone is rare after Whipple as we will remove gall bladder and almost entire portion of pancreas. It may be due to spine related problems. You can consult a surgeon and get an ultrasound to rule out any abdominal conditions causing pain. As of now you can take analgesics like ibuprofen or Tramadol for pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD?
Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well.
|
Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help.

HelloThanks for query .Based on your statement you seem to have low sperm count (Oligospermia ) and have been prescribed multiple drugs .Truly speaking there aare no medications invented so far that can help to increase sperm count .So many drugs are being prescribed by Dr community but not a single drug has been proved scientifically effective by clinical research and none of these drugs are approved by WHO.I would suggest you to consult qualified Infertility specialist to explore the possibility of pregnancy with the help of newly assisted reproductive techniques like IVF or ICSI.

Is there any need of surgery in case of disc protrusion?
I was just advised that i have at level c5and c6 a 5 mm left paracentrl/ intraforaminal disk protrusion with annular tear, causing moderate left neural foraminal narrowing with probable impingement on the existing left c6 nerve root. I have had severe left arm and hand pain for two weeks. I am going to see a surgeon, i have had surgery on lower back in the past, will this require surgery?
|
Hard to say if it will REQUIRE surgery since my usual recommendation to patients in this situation is that they go through either PHYSICAL or AQUATHERAPY to see if the nerve can be released or treated conservatively before embarking upon surgery. However, your question cannot be properly answered without examining you neurologically and seeing where things such as sensation, strength, and mobility are with respect to what we would expect from the GOOD SIDE, make sense?

Q. I want to gain weight very fast. Please suggest a medicine.
Hello doctor,My age is 28, height is 176.78 cm and my weight is only 56 kg. I do not have any type of disease. I want to gain weight very fast. In five to six months up to 10 kg. Please suggest me a medicine, syrup, or protein supplement.
|
Hello. Looking at your BMI it is slightly below normal. You must better see a gastroenterologist and get some basic tests done which is quite possibly a diagnosis even if you do not have any other symptoms. Thyroid profile, CBC, anti-Tg antibodies are some test you should get done. If all the reports come out to be normal then I would advise you to take tablet Longifene DS (Buclizine) 1 HS which has some role in improving appetite. Test increase your calorie intake. Regards. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->

Suggest Crocin dosage for fever in children
My 11 year old would not take crocin tablet. So have given her 11 ml of crocin ds. Her weight is about 35 kg. Is this the right dosage? Also she trembles a lot at the onset of fever. But the trembling stops in a few mins after giving crocin. Is it normal?
|
Hi.... you have given the right dosage of Crocin DS suspension for your child.Trembling and shivering during high fever is also very common, do not worry about this.Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 650mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.Regards - Dr. Sumanth

Is cannabis or hash oil only treatment for pancreatic cancer?
Hello, Im writing from Latvia. My friends father has a pancreatic cancer in IV stage. The doctor told him, that the last hope and chance that could help is Cannabis or Hash oil. I would like to know is it possible to get ir from India? Or maybe there is a possibility to go to You country and treat him there? Please help us..it is realy our last hope..
|
Hi,Thanks for writing in.Pancreatic cancer is one of the most feared diseases and gives no time to the patient for survival. Almost every patient of pancreatic cancer will survive for months or few years at most unless it is detected at early stage and resectable.Cannabis is being studied in the treatment of pancreatic cancer since the last decade. This has been with some positive reports in some patients. However a lot of research is still to be done on the topic to say with conformation that cannabis oil is a certain cure for pancreatic cancer.Cannabis is a banned substance in India and procuring it is not easy. Even after procuring it the quality and purity might not be good enough for medical use. I suggest your friend gets medical grade cannabis with a prescription if possible and go ahead with treatment.

What causes severe leg pain in a diabetic patient?
Hello sir We are leaving in kashipur (Uttarakhand). My father suffering from leg pain (Thai) He is diabetic patient from last 2 year. Need your guidance for the treatment ... What is your recommendations over this Is there any treatment available at haldwani / Moradabad / bareily etc Waiting for your promptly reply .. Thanks & regards Pankaj kumar singh Mob:- 0000
|
HelloI have gone through your question and understood your concern.Pain in the legs can occur as a result of conditions that affect bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, or skin. Leg pain can occur at night, while lying down, or while running or exercising, depending upon the cause(an in jury or a chronic disease.)Since the leg contains a number of different structures and tissue types, a wide variety of conditions and injuries can cause leg pain.In your father's case ,in my opinion the cause can be Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).This is a common cause of leg pain in diabetics.Anyway my recommandation for you is to consult his doctor because for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, it is important to differentiate the exact type and location of his pain in the leg.Apart Diabetes other potential causes of leg pain are:Peripheral artery disease ,Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), arthritis conditions, The pain of sciatica (from disc disease of the spine).All these alternatives should be taken in consideration for the right diagnosis and only after the righnt diagnosis your father can have the right treatement.Hope this is helpful.Thanks for using HCM for your health queries.Wish you all the best.

What causes anger and how to stop it?
I have a 7 year old son who has anger issues. He has always been difficult, but is more so at some times than others. For the past several weeks he has been getting angry because he Doesn t have anything to do. So instead he will turn everything into a problem, start arguments with the other children in the house, and it all ends with him screaming incoherently until he starts to hyperventilate. I have tried everything. I have tried time out. I have tried talking to him about it. I have tried ignoring it. I have tried spanking him. I don t know what else to try. These moods can last for an entire day, and they just seem to be getting worse with time.

Hello! Thank you for writing us here.Well its his growing age and such issues are common. He might be having some issues with his studies or present day to day routine.You can help him by keeping him busy.

I suggest keeping a voiding diary where you measure how much she drinks and how much she urinates and show this to her MD so they will be guided.

Suggest treatment for persistent sore lumps on the back of the head
My 6 year old son has been ill for over a week now with headaches, and lumps on the back of his head. Been to A&E and was told it was swollen glands and was given calpol. A few days later he was still very poorly and lumps had got bigger. Went to my GP who said it is a scalp infection and gave antibiotics and antihistamine. Finished course of medicine and lumps are still present and sore! What do i do next!!?
|
HI,Welcome to HCM.I studied your query.I understood Your health concerns.Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-Boil with lymphadenitis,with resolved nodes after antibiotics.Remaining lumps indicates Chronic Adenitis with fibrotic changes in it.Reason of antibiotics not giving regression of these lumps is due to the accompanied Chronic furuncle- lumps with its lymphadenitis.FNAC biopsy / or Excision Biopsy / or CT study -of the persistant lumps, would give the exact cause of these persistant/ non-regressive lumps.Other causes like infectious mono, or viral lymphadenitis/or TB lymphadenitis/ NHL/HL lymphoma- needs to be ruled out.As the facts are very scanty,I would also suggest you to take Second opinion from Surgeon,to rule out other causes which would cause such symptom/complaints,after physical/clinical examination.Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.Good Day!!
