Patient:I want to give my introduction first.I was asthma patient(allergic to dust).So in my childhood i was not normal like other child to play around.Since i was allergic to dust and some kind of foods(especially cool items) i used to sit in the house watching tv.I didn t have friends to play with.My father is having transferable job so i never had constant relationship with anyone.Now my problem comes,it started when i was at the age of 13 or 14.I saw a movie in which there was a kissing scene which created some type of sensation in me.Actually i liked it.Then at the age of 17 i saw some another english movie in which they had some nude scene,it gave me more sensation and a type of satisfaction.Whenever i see these type of movie i feel like more satisfied and feels it as if happening with me,i crosses my leg tightly till i get some type of satisfaction.I don t understand why its happening and how.Now i am 21,my friends watch porn,which i don t like to watch.I have a boy friend, i think to make love with him but in reality i scares and run away from the situation.Whenever i watch i tries to watch porn it makes me sick,uncomfortable and depressed.I am very conservative type of girl.I feel disgusting to see me,touch me.I want relationship but not sex.Now i had problem a with my parent they want me to marry someone which i don t want.I cant able to tell this to my parent.I really don t know what to do.Is it related to my past that i was alone in my childhood?Is it psychological disorder? [/INST] Doctor:DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your description in itself says that you just have fear for sexual activities, which so many young unmarried ladies have. When they get married and start liking husband, this shyness goes away and everything becomes normal and you start enjoying sex. Your current situation is not related to psychological disorder which needs any treatment. You are anxious and apprehensive about your sexual future just because you did not have any such relations. Almost half of the total women population across the world enter married life without sexual experience and shyness. Therefore you are not alone. Consult a psychological counselor.Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck. </s>

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.

Cause for pain? Patient:i have suffered lowe back pain since i was 22,23. I have had many scans over the years to see what was wrong but always came back normal. In 2010 i had been said in a report that i had spondylolisthesis being caused by severe degenerative change in the facet joints bilaterally. There is uncovering of the intervertebral disc without herniation. Prominent calcification of the free margin of the disc at the right lateral aspect. There is mild central canal stenosis. Lateral recess is adequate. Nominal mild foraminal stenosis bilaterally in L5/s1. degenerative changes in the symphysis pubis.

<s>[INST]<<SYS>>You are a Bot identify the response from Patient and give medication as a Doctor <</SYS>> Description: Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? Patient:Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? [/INST] Doctor:Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

The pain in my ankle is also deep pain as if an injury to a bone and the pain circles the ankle. In addition to that, there is a bulge in the Achilles tendon that was extremely painful a couple of months ago. I have been fairly active as a 51 year old female, however I have already had total knee replacement on my left knee and disc fusion, rods, screws and cages placed in my low back.

Is there anything that could account for all of those symptoms, assuming it isn t due to stress & over use? This doesn t feel like pulled or strained muscles and I haven t had any falls or other injuries. [/INST] Doctor:Dear Patient,With the history of knee replacement on the left side the possibility of having osteoarthritis on the right side is too high, also possible that your right ankle is also showing arthritis changes, what you need to do is get your joints screened with X Rays to see the status of your joints, may be your other knee will also need a replacement. As far as the status of one knee replacement and spine surgery goes, this is no more unusual, as with changes in lifestyle and increased life expectancy these are becoming a routine. So just relax and get yourself screened, also if you are overweight than you should also reduce it as that will solve a lot of your problems.I hope I have been helpful in your understanding of your disease.Thank You </s>

Thanks in advance. [/INST] Doctor:Hi. One's skin color has 2 components. First one is genetic, which cannot be changed. Every skin color is beautiful in its own way and we should learn to love our skin color and augment it and not hide or lighten it. The second component is acquired, which is due to the influence of environment, sunlight, hormones, aging, etc. We can only target the acquired component of fair skin color while attempting lightening procedures. I suggest you antioxidant capsules like capsule Antoxid HC (Beta-carotene) and apply sunscreen lotion Lashield gel at 8 AM and 12 PM. Also, you can apply Glyaha koj lotion (Hydroquinone) at night time. Start with an alternate night application initialy as it may irritate your skin a bit and after a week or so, shift to daily night application. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the treatment with consent. You can go for chemical peeling or microdermabrasion from your dermatologist which will help in exfoliating and give you a clearer skin tone. All these treatments are free of side effects. You may use them for three months. For further information consult a dermatologist online --> </s>

Patient:I am 32, (5ft 6in, 8 stone) with 2 children and have had the contraceptive implant for well over a year. Since having it fitted I have suffered from mood swings, periods of extreme sadness, feelings of worthlessness and most of the time feel completely detached from the world around me. In between these periods I have felt extremely happy and excited about the future. It is probably also worth mentioning that just before I had the implant fitted my youngest son was diagnosed with autism and my husband lost his job this caused a huge amount of stress and could be the cause for my depression. I know my Grandma suffered with depression at the end of her life and my Mum has periods of it. I also suffered from depression as a child (from about age 10 to 15) and then I had post natal depression after my first child. Could the implant be the cause or could I be bi polar?

Medical conditions as panic attack or anxiety, hyperthyroidism, caffeine intake , are some examples of rapid heart beat. You need to see your doctor for a checkup, electrocardiogram and 24 hr holter monitor trying to identify why type of arrythmia you have. Some valvular conditions as mitral valve prolapse can give you rapid heart beat too.I hope that my advise has been helpfulDR.Sara </s>

First of all, birth control pills itself help in controlling your PCOS with added lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet and physical exercise. So keep up the good effort but now you need to stop the pills. Check if you are ovulating regularly or not with the urine ovulation kits available in the market. If you are still not, you may need some fertility boosting medicines. Secondly, you need to do the following to prevent the BV to recur: 1. Avoid any kind of vaginal douches. These wash away the good bacteria as well, clean with normal water while taking the bath. 2. Have probiotics for two weeks to grow back the vaginal flora. 3. Use cotton panties and avoid using tampons. Use pads preferably. 4. Avoid oral sex from the male partner. 5. Need to use Metronidazole vaginal pessary for a week to clear the BV.

With your clinical background , the multiple clots in lungs were reported as pulmonary emboli? Was it detected on plain CT or CTPA (CT Pulmonary Angiogram)? CTPA is the best modality to detect pulmonary emboli. Consult a physician and get autoimmune profile tests of blood done - like Anticardiolipin antibody, lupus anticoagulant, Antiphospholipid antibody , beta 2 glycoprotein antibody coz presence of any these is associated with increases risk of abnormal clotting in blood vessels. Also the spot in the lower lobe of your right lung can be due to infection or lung tumour. Kindly consult a chest specialist and take opinion in person . Despite antibiotic and antifungal medications, if the spot continues to grow , it is a concern. so it is essential to grow for bronchocoscopy and CT guided biopsy of the "growing spot" .

One fine day morning, I walked over to get him and noticed abnormal breathing inhaling but not exhaling. His body was solid gray and unresponsive.I immediately called emergency service. He was transported to an emergency room. He is in a coma, on life support, the red blood cell count is dropping, fluid on his brain, having seizures, and his blood pressure was at 320 when he was transported. They have run every test for primary infections plus more, and all comes back negative. The pediatric unit has never seen anything like this. They have contacted other specialist, and there has been no diagnosis. If anyone might have any clue of what it could be, please help me. We want him to come home and return to our happy lives. [/INST] Doctor:Hello. With the information you have given, I would try to analyze his condition. First, turning gray or blue means the oxygen levels in his body are low. Reasons could be many. From what you mentioned. He seems to be bleeding in the brain, that is why his red blood cells are coming down. Bleed in the brain also causes seizures and high blood pressure. Or sometimes high blood pressure itself can cause seizures, but the number 320 is very odd, I do not know if it is that much. This condition could be due to 1) infection, 2) Abnormal bleeding disorders, where the body cannot stop the bleeding process, due to deficiency of some factors responsible for it. It needs special tests. Ex; late hemorrhagic disease, deficiency of factors 8, 9, etc. 3) High BP could be because of the bleed itself, or high BP could have caused the bleeding, then reasons for high BP should be looked for.this needs special tests and scans, hormonal tests also. 4) Bleeding can be controlled by given FFP, cryoprecipitate in specific conditions. I know I can only provide you information, because the condition is serious, requiring a lot of tests, and treatment is not so simple. He needs treatment to control the bleeding, control BP, seizures. It involves a few specialties and can be life-threatening also. </s>

In this procedure the selected nerve roots are blocked and this reduces the pain. As you have been having this neck pain for 7 years and now headache and tingling have also started therefore it will help to go back to your neurosurgeon and get a MRI scan of cervical spine done. This will show any new developments and disc changes that require attention and treatment so that your pain is treated. New procedures like laser assisted disc surgery and radiofrequency ablation are in use to release pressure over the pinched nerve roots and block the pain sensations in the area. These are well accepted by many patients and please discuss these treatments as you have already had a neck surgery without much relief in symptoms. Since it might be surgically difficult to decompress the nerves at various levels, doing radiofrequency ablation of nerve roots might be a better choice. </s>

You get an erection and can do intercourse because you are (probably) excited at the prospect of having sexual interaction with this woman, who you seem to have good chemistry with. But, you also probably did not realize at that time that she is not the right sexual mate for you, though a great intellectual companion. Although your body responded through erection and other bodily reactions, your mind remained cold and unresponsive because the sex appeal is missing or you just see her as an intellectual companion but not as a soulmate. This happens, and maybe a reason why there was very little sexual excitement during intercourse or upon touching her. That way, your guess that one is compatible with only certain type(s) of women is valid. What does this lead to? At least two possibilities are there.

I really hope it s nothing really serious... [/INST] Doctor:earWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely opine that these could be signs of anxiety and apprehension. These could arise out of obsession also. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. I sincerely think, you need expert medical / psychological advise. Please consult a psychologist.If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck. </s>

Patient: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. [/INST] Doctor: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.---> </s>
