Question: What are the symptoms of adenomyosis?
Answer: While some women diagnosed with adenomyosis have no symptoms, the disease can cause: Heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding Severe menstrual cramps Abdominal pressure and bloating Adenomyosis is a common condition.
Question: Does adenomyosis cause infertility?
Answer: Because many women who have adenomyosis also have endometriosis, it is difficult to tell precisely what role adenomyosis may play in fertility problems. However, some studies have shown that adenomyosis may contribute to infertility.
Question: How is hormone therapy used to treat adenomyosis?
Answer: Adenomyosis can cause menstrual cramps, lower abdominal pressure, and bloating before menstrual periods and can result in heavy periods.
Question: How is uterine artery embolization used to treat adenomyosis?
Answer: In this minimally invasive procedure, which is commonly used to help shrink fibroids, tiny particles are used to block the blood vessels that provide blood flow to the adenomyosis. The particles are guided through a tiny tube inserted by the radiologist into the patient's femoral artery. With blood supply cut off, the adenomyosis shrinks.
Question: What techniques are used to diagnose adenomyosis?
Answer: A pelvic exam may reveal an enlarged and tender uterus. An ultrasound can allow a doctor to see the uterus, its lining, and its muscular wall. Though ultrasound cannot definitively diagnose adenomyosis, it can help to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms. Another technique sometimes used to help evaluate the symptoms associated with adenomyosis is sonohysterography. In sonohysterography, saline solution is injected through a tiny tube into the uterus as an ultrasound is given.
Question: How is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to diagnose adenomyosis?
Answer: Using MRI or transvaginal ultrasound, doctors can see characteristics of the disease in the uterus.
Question: How can adenomyosis be misdiagnosed?
Answer: However, the two conditions are not the same. While fibroids are benign tumors growing in or on the uterine wall, adenomyosis is less of a defined mass of cells within the uterine wall. An accurate diagnosis is key in choosing the right treatment.
Question: Who gets adenomyosis?
Answer: While some women diagnosed with adenomyosis have no symptoms, the disease can cause: Heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding Severe menstrual cramps Abdominal pressure and bloating Adenomyosis is a common condition. It is most often diagnosed in middle-aged women and women who have had children. Some studies also suggest that women who have had prior uterine surgery may be at risk for adenomyosis. Though the cause of adenomyosis isn't known, studies have suggested that various hormones -- including estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and follicle stimulating hormone -- may trigger the condition.
Question: How is adenomyosis diagnosed?
Answer: However, imaging technology has made it possible for doctors to recognize adenomyosis without surgery. Using MRI or transvaginal ultrasound, doctors can see characteristics of the disease in the uterus. The only definitive cure for adenomyosis is a hysterectomy, or the removal of the uterus.
Question: How is adenomyosis treated?
Answer: Your doctor may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs) to relieve mild pain associated with adenomyosis. This is often the treatment of choice for women with significant symptoms.
Question: How is endometrial ablation used to treat adenomyosis?
Answer: Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus (the myometrium). Endometrial ablation.
Question: How are anti-inflammatory medications used to treat adenomyosis?
Answer: Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus (the myometrium). Anti-inflammatory medications.
Question: Can adenomyosis be cured?
Answer: Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus (the myometrium). It is most often diagnosed in middle-aged women and women who have had children.
Question: What is adenomyosis?
Answer: Adenomyosis can cause menstrual cramps, lower abdominal pressure, and bloating before menstrual periods and can result in heavy periods. The condition can be located throughout the entire uterus or localized in one spot. !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Though adenomyosis is considered a benign (not life-threatening) condition, the frequent pain and heavy bleeding associated with it can have a negative impact on a woman's quality of life. This minimally invasive procedure destroys the lining of the uterus.
Question: When can I exercise after recovery from a stress fracture?
Answer: For the next six to eight weeks -- or until you're free of pain -- avoid the activity that caused the stress fracture, and avoid putting too much weight on the affected area. If you exercise again too soon, you could delay the healing process. You could even cause damage that may never heal properly. When you are ready to return to the activity, do it slowly. If you rush back in, you could re-injure yourself. Very severe stress fractures that won't heal on their own may require surgery. Full recovery may take months or years.
Question: How is a stress fracture treated?
Answer: The initial treatment for a stress fracture is to elevate the extremity and rest while the bone heals itself. Ice the affected area for 24 to 48 hours and reduce your activity. For pain, you may use NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin. Depending on which bone is involved, your doctor may recommend a splint or cast to immobilize the affected area.
Question: When can I go back to full weight-bearing after treatment for stress fractures?
Answer: When the swelling has decreased to the point you can see skin creases, you can begin partially putting weight on the area. In some cases, crutches or a cane is necessary. Usually, you can begin full weight-bearing at two weeks after the symptoms started, but don't do anything that causes pain. Weight-bearing stimulates healing.
Question: What diet tips can help you stay healthy after an organ transplant?
Answer: These may include: Eat high-fiber foods such as raw fruits and vegetables. Increase calcium by eating low-fat dairy products, eating green leafy vegetables, or taking calcium supplements (if directed by your doctor). Eat less salt, processed food, and snacks. Drink plenty of water (unless you are told to limit fluids). Eat high-protein foods such as lean meat, chicken (without the skin), fish, eggs, unsalted nuts, and beans. Instead of frying your food, try baking, broiling, grilling, boiling, or steaming.
Question: Which conditions are side effects of an organ transplant?
Answer: You also may experience other side effects such as: Diarrhea High blood pressure High cholesterol Elevated blood sugars Infection If you notice any side effects, don't stop taking the drugs on your own.
Question: Should I take cough medicine?
Answer: However, a persistent cough should be diagnosed and treated specifically. On the shelf you'll find numerous cough medicines with various combinations of decongestants, antihistamines, analgesics/antipyretics, cough suppressants, and expectorants. Ask your pharmacist which combination, if any, would be right for you.
Question: Is it better to take a decongestant or an antihistamine?
Answer: If you have nasal or sinus congestion, then a decongestant can be helpful. If you have drainage -- either a runny nose or postnasal drip or itchy, watery eyes -- then an antihistamine may be helpful. Over-the-counter antihistamines often make people drowsy; decongestants can make people hyper or keep them awake. Antihistamines can make secretions thick, which can be a problem for people with asthma. Keep in mind that both these medications may interact with other drugs you may be taking for conditions such as heart disease, and they may worsen some conditions. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist which cold medication may be best for you.
Question: How often should I use nasal spray?
Answer: Nasal decongestants work fast to open breathing passages. But if you use them for more than three days in a row, you may suffer a "rebound effect," and end up more congested than you were at the start. Some doctors suggest using a saline spray instead of a medicated spray. Saline spray works more slowly but has no rebound effect.
Question: What's the best thing to do for a sore throat?
Answer: But if you use them for more than three days in a row, you may suffer a "rebound effect," and end up more congested than you were at the start. However, a persistent cough should be diagnosed and treated specifically. Each type of medicine has its own set of risks, so check with your doctor or pharmacist as to which type of pain reliever or fever reducer is best for you. Drinking lots of fluids and using salt water gargles (made by combining a cup of warm water and a teaspoon of salt) can often be helpful for easing the pain of a sore throat.
Question: What should I take for fever and aches?
Answer: Keep in mind that both these medications may interact with other drugs you may be taking for conditions such as heart disease, and they may worsen some conditions. It helps the body fight off infection by suppressing the growth of bacteria and viruses and activating the immune system. Doctors no longer recommend suppressing fever for most people, except perhaps for the very young, the very old, and those with certain medical conditions such as heart disease or lung disease. However, if you are uncomfortable, it's fine to take these medications. Young people (including those in their early 20s), however, should avoid aspirin. Tylenol, or other medicines with acetaminophen, and Advil, or other medicines with ibuprofen, are best. Each type of medicine has its own set of risks, so check with your doctor or pharmacist as to which type of pain reliever or fever reducer is best for you.
Question: How do doctors look for what's causing recurrent abdominal pain?
Answer: When you or your child sees the doctor about RAP, she'll ask about symptoms and family history. She'll want to know when the pain starts and what seems to make it feel worse or better. Then, she'll do a thorough physical exam. She'll probably take samples of blood and urine to do some tests. She also can order a scan to look inside your body for a problem, such as a CT scan, MRI, or an ultrasound. If you're over age 50, you may get a colonoscopy, which is when a doctor uses a thin, flexible tool with a camera to look for problems inside your colon and rectum.
Question: What is recurrent abdominal pain (RAP)?
Answer: If you have at least three of them over 3 months, and they're severe enough to keep you from doing everyday activities, you have what doctors call ârecurrent abdominal painâ ( RAP).
Question: What's the treatment for recurrent abdominal pain?
Answer: If a specific health issue is making your stomach hurt, you'll need to get treatment for that problem. Your doctor could also suggest lifestyle changes like eating different foods or finding ways to manage stress. Often, a mix of different things helps.
Question: What causes recurrent abdominal pain (RAP)?
Answer: Adults and children can have RAP for many reasons, including some health problems. For children, they might include: Anxiety Depression Trouble digesting the sugar in milk products, called lactose intolerance Heartburn Constipation Urinary tract infection Abdominal migraines (stomach pain that comes back a lot without a known cause) Health issues that can cause RAP in adults include: Indigestion Constipation Period pain Stomach ulcers Urinary tract infection Liver or gallbladder problems Inflammatory bowel disease Irritable bowel syndrome Infection from a parasite Cancer Still, many adults and kids have RAP that's not caused by any clear medical problem.

Question: How do I prepare for a positron emission tomography (PET) scan?
Answer: A positron emission tomography ( PET) scan may be used to locate the part of the brain that is causing seizures. Before undergoing the PET procedure, be sure to tell your doctor of any medication -- prescription or non-prescription -- that you are taking, along with any herbal drugs or supplements you may be using. It is also very important that you tell the doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, since the PET scan can be harmful to an unborn child. Depending on the area of your body being tested, you may be asked to undress completely and put on a hospital gown. You will also be asked to remove any dentures, jewelry, or metal objects during the scan, because these items may affect the reading.
Question: How is a positron emission tomography (PET) scan done?
Answer: You will be asked to lie down on a flat table that is next to a scanner computer and a camera. You will then be given the tracer through an IV. After that, the PET scanner, a doughnut-shaped instrument, will move in circles around you. As this is happening, the camera will take pictures of patterns left by the tracer chemical inside your body. After the PET scan is finished, you will likely be asked to drink a lot of water or liquids during the next day in order to get rid of or flush the tracer chemical from your system. Despite this, test results can usually be given to the patient a day or two after the scan.
Question: How is earwax blockage diagnosed?
Answer: Go to the hospital if: You have a severe spinning sensation, loss of balance, or inability to walk You have persistent vomiting or high fever You experience sudden loss of hearing A doctor can diagnose earwax blockage (or eardrum perforation) by listening to your symptoms and then looking into your ear with an otoscope (ear-scope).
Question: How do you get earwax blockages?
Answer: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Earwax is produced by glands in the ear canal. Although scientists are still not completely sure why we have earwax, it does trap dust and other small particles and prevent them from reaching, and potentially damaging or infecting the eardrum. Normally, the wax dries up and falls out of the ear, along with any trapped dust or debris. Everyone makes ear wax, but the amount and type are genetically determined just like hair color or height. Smaller or oddly shaped ear canals may make it difficult for the naturally occurring wax to get out of the canal and lead to wax impactions.
Question: What complications can happen if you have earwax blockage?
Answer: Symptoms of an earwax impaction include: Decreased hearing Dizziness Ear pain Plugged or fullness sensation Ringing in the ear Itching or drainage from the ear canal See your doctor if you think you may have any symptoms of an earwax impaction.
Question: What causes earwax blockage?
Answer: Blockage, or impaction, also occurs when the wax gets pushed deep within the ear canal. Earwax blockage is one of the most common ear problems doctors see. The most common cause of impactions is the use of Q-tips (and other objects such as bobby pins and rolled napkin corners), which can remove superficial wax but also pushes the rest of the wax deeper into the ear canal. Hearing aid and earplug users are also more prone to earwax blockage.
Question: How can you prevent earwax blockage?
Answer: Earwax blockage can often be prevented by avoiding the use of cotton-tipped swabs or Q-tips and other objects that push the wax deeper into the ear canal.
Question: What is the medical treatment for earwax blockage?
Answer: The doctor may remove your earwax with a small plastic spoon called a curette, or irrigate your ear with warmed water, sodium bicarbonate, or other prescription-strength eardrops. The doctor may also use gentle suction to remove the wax.
Question: Can ear candling treat earwax blockage?
Answer: Ear candling is not recommended. The procedure uses a hollow cone made of paraffin and beeswax with cloth on the tapered end. The tapered end is placed inside the ear, and an assistant lights the other end, while making sure your hair does not catch on fire. In theory, as the flame burns, a vacuum is created, which draws the wax out of the ear. Limited clinical trials, however, showed that no vacuum was created, and no wax was removed. Furthermore, this practice may result in serious injury.
Question: How can you treat earwax blockage at home?
Answer: Over-the-counter wax softening drops such as Debrox or Murine may be put into the affected ear and then allowed to drain out after about five minutes while holding the head to the side, allowing the drops to settle. Sitting up again will let the drops drain out by themselves. A bulb-type syringe may be used to gently flush the ear with warm water. The water should be at body temperature to help prevent dizziness.
Question: What do doctors recommend for the treatment of earwax blockage?
Answer: Your doctor may recommend that you try an earwax removal method at home, unless you have a perforation (hole) or a tube in your eardrum.
Question: How should I take emergency contraceptives if I have health problems?
Answer: Emergency birth-control pills and the IUD are safe for almost all women. But if you have medical problems and you're concerned that taking emergency contraception could be risky, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
Question: Which type of emergency contraception is best for me?
Answer: You may want to ask them: There are lots of good options. But the best one for you depends on different things. Your age, for instance -- some nonprescription products have age limits. Your insurance may pay only for a prescription. When you had sex can matter, too. Some products work for about 3 days after, some for 5. Your doctor or pharmacist can steer you in the right direction.
Question: How does weight affect how well emergency contraceptives work?
Answer: Your doctor or pharmacist can help you get answers about emergency contraception. Some products work for about 3 days after, some for 5. The pills may not work as well for women who are overweight or obese. If you're overweight, Ella may work better than Plan B One- Step and generic levonorgestrel. In general, the IUD seems to work better than pills for heavier women.
Question: When is an intrauterine device (IUD) considered an option for emergency contraception?
Answer: When you had sex can matter, too. The IUD goes inside your body. If you want an IUD, a nurse or doctor needs to put it in within 5 days of when you had sex. The IUD works as both emergency contraception and as ongoing birth control. It prevents pregnancy as long as it is in place. The copper IUD is the most effective form of emergency contraception.
Question: When should I go back to regular birth control after using an emergency contraception?
Answer: When you had sex can matter, too. You should use a regular form of birth control right away. Emergency contraception lasts only for about 24 hours and may just delay ovulation, not stop it. Make sure you're protected.
