Question: Can I have sex during pregnancy without harming the baby?
Answer: Intercourse or orgasm during pregnancy will not harm your baby, unless you have a medical problem. Remember that your baby is well protected in your uterus by the amniotic fluid that surrounds him or her. You may need to ask your doctor to clarify if this means no penetration, no orgasms, or no sexual arousal, because different complications may require different restrictions.
Question: How can I stay intimate with my partner while I'm pregnant?
Answer: Remember that your baby is well protected in your uterus by the amniotic fluid that surrounds him or her. Your doctor may recommend not having intercourse early in pregnancy if you have a history of miscarriages. Also, encourage your partner to communicate with you, especially if you notice changes in your partner's responsiveness. If your doctor has limited your sexual activity, or if you are not in the mood for intercourse, remember to take time for intimacy with your partner. You can take long romantic walks, enjoy candle-lit dinners, or give each other back rubs.
Question: How is bursitis diagnosed?
Answer: Your doctor will diagnose bursitis based on your symptoms and findings on a physical exam. Some diagnostic tests may be performed to rule out other causes of your pain. These include the following: An X-ray of the affected area to look for bony spurs (abnormal areas) or arthritis Aspiration, in which fluid is taken from the swollen bursa and evaluated under a microscope, to rule out gout or infection Blood tests to screen for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes Magnetic resonance imaging test ( MRI), although this is rare Although bursitis generally disappears in a few days or weeks, the pain may be persistent. A corticosteroid may be injected into and around the inflamed bursae (the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints affected by bursitis).
Question: What viruses can cause orchitis?
Answer: The virus that causes mumps can cause orchitis, as well. Most common in young boys (rare in boys younger than 10 years), orchitis begins four to six days after mumps begins. A third of boys with mumps will develop orchitis and end up with a condition called testicular atrophy (shrinking of the testicles). That's why it is so critical for all children, boys especially, to have shots to protect them from getting the childhood disease of mumps.
Question: What exams and tests are there for orchitis?
Answer: A urine sample might be taken to check for STDs and other bacteria that might be responsible for the infection.
Question: What are symptoms of orchitis?
Answer: With orchitis, you may have a rapid onset of pain in one or both testicles that may spread to the groin. One or both of your testicles may appear tender, swollen, and red or purple. You might have a "heavy feeling" in the swollen testicle. You might see blood in your semen. Other symptoms include high fever, nausea, vomiting, pain with urination, or pain from straining with a bowel movement, groin pain, pain with intercourse, and simply feeling ill.
Question: What are the lasting effects of orchitis?
Answer: For some of the men who have orchitis, the affected testicle will shrink and lose its function. The longer you delay getting treatment, the more likely the testicle will have long-term damage. Untreated orchitis can result in infertility, loss of one or both testicles, and severe illness or death.
Question: What is follow-up care for orchitis?
Answer: Go to a hospital's emergency department if you are unable to contact or see your doctor promptly, or if symptoms worsen despite antibiotic treatment. Your health care provider may perform a series of diagnostic tests.
Question: When should you call a doctor about orchitis?
Answer: Most cases of orchitis caused by bacteria require antibiotics right away. If you suspect that you have the disease, or notice redness, swelling, pain, or inflammation of the scrotum or testicle, call your health care provider immediately. Do not delay medical care. Go to a hospital's emergency department if you are unable to contact or see your doctor promptly, or if symptoms worsen despite antibiotic treatment.
Question: What are home remedies for orchitis?
Answer: Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen ( Advil or Motrin, for example), naproxen ( Aleve, Naprosyn), or acetaminophen ( Tylenol) may help with pain. The ice packs may be applied for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day for the first day or two. This will help keep down the swelling (and pain).
Question: What are medical treatments for orchitis?
Answer: Most men can be treated with antibiotics at home for a minimum of 10 days. Mumps orchitis will clear up over one to three weeks. Young, sexually active men need to make sure all of their sexual partners are treated. You should use condoms or do not have sexual relations until all partners have completed their full course of antibiotics and are symptom-free.
Question: How can you prevent orchitis?
Answer: Bacteria that cause sexually transmitted diseases ( STD), such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, can cause orchitis in sexually active men, usually aged 19-35 years. Men older than age 50 should have their prostates examined during their yearly physical exams.
Question: What can I expect right before and during my surgical ablation?
Answer: At the hospital, your nurse may test your blood or urine, or perform a chest X-ray to make sure you don't have any infections or problems that may hurt your surgery's success. You may be given a drug to help you relax before the surgery. Electrocardiogram ( EKG) electrodes will be attached to your chest and back to keep track of your heartbeat. You will receive anesthesia to put you to sleep during the surgery. After you are put to sleep, your doctor will connect you to a respirator that has a tube that goes down your throat. This will help you breathe during the operation. You may have a tube inserted into your throat to help collect fluid or air in your stomach during the operation. You may also have a catheter inserted in your bladder to collect urine during the operation. Your surgeon will cut into your chest during your operation, and he or she will insert instruments to make the small interior cuts or make lesions on your heart tissue. Depending on the type of maze procedure you have, your surgeon may use tiny video cameras or robotic arms to help perform the operation.
Question: What happens after my surgical ablation?
Answer: After, you may need to stay up to 5 days in a regular hospital room. There the staff will monitor your heartbeat and recovery. After surgery, you may take diuretic drugs. They help control fluid in your body after the surgery. You may also take blood thinners or aspirin to prevent clots. Open-heart surgery will take the longest to recover from. It can take many weeks to heal. If you have a minimally invasive surgical ablation, you may have a quicker recovery than with open-heart surgery. You should be able to leave the hospital in 2 to 4 days. You can go back to normal activity after a few weeks. For about a month after whichever surgery you have, don't take very hot showers. Avoid soaking in a bath or whirlpool tub. Your surgical wounds may itch or feel numb or tight. You may have chest discomfort for a few weeks as your body heals. If you notice signs of infection around your wounds, such as redness, fever, swelling, or heat, call your doctor. It may take a few months for your heartbeat to be normal again after your surgical ablation. Your doctor will monitor your heartbeat to check how you're doing.
Question: What happens during surgical ablation?
Answer: Once inside she will go into your heart and make small cuts in the tissue. Scars will form. They make a path for electricity in your heart to follow. Your heartbeat will become normal in time.
Question: How should I prepare for my surgical ablation?
Answer: Don't smoke for at least 2 weeks before your heart surgery. It may cause problems with your breathing or blood clotting during or after your procedure. The night before your surgery, bathe or shower. Don't eat after midnight the day before your surgery. Food or drinks in your stomach may cause you to have problems with your anesthesia. It can cause you to vomit and breathe it in.
Question: What is surgical ablation?
Answer: Most people who have AFib will not need surgical ablation. This is the most common type of surgical ablation. It may take a few months for your heartbeat to be normal again after your surgical ablation.
Question: What are questions to ask your doctor about B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: When your child is diagnosed with any kind of cancer, you're bound to have a lot of questions for your doctor, such as: What treatments will work best for my child's ALL? How long will it last? What are the chances that it will cure my child? What side effects might it cause? How long will these side effects last? What should I tell my child about the cancer and its treatment?
Question: What is CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: CAR T-cell therapy uses some of your own immune cells, known as T cells, to treat your cancer. Doctors take the cells out of your blood and change them by adding new genes. The new T cells can work better to find and kill cancer cells.
Question: What should you expect after treatment for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: After being cured, your child will still need to see the doctor often, to make sure the cancer doesn't come back. The doctor will also check for problems ALL treatments can cause, including damage to the heart and other types of cancers. Over time, your child will visit the doctor less often.
Question: What are symptoms of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: Children with B-cell ALL may: Bleed or bruise more easily than usual Feel very tired Get infections more often Lose their appetite Other symptoms include: Bone or joint pain Limping Fever Pale skin Red or purple spots called petechiae on the skin Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin If the cancer cells travel to your child's liver and spleen, these organs can grow large enough to make the belly swell. In some boys, the testicles can also grow larger.
Question: What is B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( ALL) is the most common type of cancer in children. It affects certain cells in the immune system, called B cells and T cells. ALL usually affects B cells in children.
Question: What causes B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: Most of the time, doctors don't know what causes B-cell ALL in children. Some things make this disease more likely, including exposure to high doses of X-rays and other forms of radiation, or cancer treatment with chemotherapy. Children with certain genetic diseases, such as Down syndrome, are also more likely to get ALL.
Question: How can you take care of your child with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Answer: Treatments for B-cell ALL can make infections more likely. Try to keep him away from anyone who is sick. Everyone who is close to your child should get vaccinated for diseases like the flu and pneumonia, and should wash their hands often. A cancer diagnosis can be very hard for a child. Your child also may need extra tutoring to make up for lost time at school.
Question: What drugs are more likely to cause an allergic reaction?
Answer: That said, some are more likely to cause these types of problems than others: Antibiotics -- amoxicillin ( Moxatag), ampicillin, penicillin ( Bicillin L- A), tetracycline ( Sumycin), and others Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen Aspirin Sulfa drugs Chemotherapy drugs Monoclonal antibody therapy -- cetuximab ( Erbitux), rituximab ( Rituxian and others HIV drugs -- abacavir ( Ziagen), nevirapine ( Viramune), and others Insulin Antiseizure drugs -- carbamazepine ( Tegretol), lamotrigine ( Lamictal), phenytoin, and others Muscle relaxers given by IV -- atracurium, succinylcholine, or vecuronium How you take a drug plays a part, too.
Question: Can bleeding gums be a sign of diabetes?
Answer: When you have this disease, your mouth isn't as powerful at fighting germs, so you're more likely to get infections like gum disease. High blood sugar levels that go along with diabetes make it harder for your body to heal, which can make gum disease worse. Bleeding gums can be a sign of leukemia, a type of cancer.
Question: Can bleeding gums be a sign of leukemia?
Answer: Bleeding or swollen gums can be a warning sign of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you have leukemia, your platelet count is low. That makes it harder for you to stop bleeding in different parts of your body, including your gums. If you have this condition, your body may not have enough platelets to form a blood clot.
Question: Can bleeding gums be a sign of hemophilia or Von Willebrand disease?
Answer: Bleeding or swollen gums can be a warning sign of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. With these conditions, your blood doesn't clot properly, so you may have bleeding gums.
Question: How safe are corticosteroids in treating eosinophilic asthma?
Answer: Inhaled corticosteroids are generally safe and are meant to be used daily. They can be used with another inhaler called a long-acting beta agonist ( LABA). The amount you absorb into your bloodstream is small. But doctors suggest you rinse your mouth out after you use them, because having steroids in your mouth can lead to thrush, a fungal condition in your mouth. But the inhaled versions may not work well in eosinophilic asthma, so you may need to take corticosteroid pills. They have more side effects than the inhaled types.
Question: How can bronchial thermoplasty help with treating eosinophilic asthma?
Answer: The drugs are: Benralizumab ( Fasenra) Dupilumab ( Dupixent) Mepolizumab ( Nucala) Reslizumab ( Cinqair) Unlike the prescription medication, bronchial thermoplasty is a procedure that's being studied to treat eosinophilic asthma. Your doctor may recommend it if other methods haven't controlled your symptoms. A lung specialist uses a special probe and thermal heat to lessen the smooth muscle in your airways. This keeps the muscles from constricting during an asthma attack. To get the most benefit, bronchial thermoplasty may require multiple procedures over several weeks.
Question: How can leukotriene modifiers help with treating eosinophilic asthma?
Answer: Their job is to keep certain cells in the lungs and airways from releasing chemicals that cause asthma attacks to act up. Medicines called leukotriene modifiers -- such as montelukast ( Singulair), zafirlukast ( Accolate), and zileuton ( Zyflo) -- relieve the effects of leukotrienes and ease asthma symptoms. It's rare, but some people get agitated and anxious when taking these meds. If this happens to you, tell your doctor. Their job is to block the chemicals that cause inflammation in your lungs.
Question: How can fast-acting inhalers help with treating eosinophilic asthma?
Answer: Depending on which kind your doctor prescribes, side effects can include dry mouth, heart palpitations, or nervousness. Unlike inhalers or pills, you get them as shots or by IV infusion.
Question: What is autism?
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(); }); } Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors. Because of the range of symptoms, this condition is now called autism spectrum disorder ( ASD). It covers a large spectrum of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment. ASD ranges in severity from a handicap that somewhat limits an otherwise normal life to a devastating disability that may require institutional care.
Question: How is Rett syndrome associated with autism?
Answer: Rett syndrome previously fell under ASD spectrum but it is now confirmed that Rett's cause is genetic. It no longer falls under ASD guidelines. Children with Rett syndrome, primarily girls, start developing normally but then begin losing their communication and social skills. Beginning at the age of 1 to 4 years, repetitive hand movements replace purposeful use of the hands. Children with Rett syndrome are usually severely cognitively impaired.
Question: How can autism affect children?
Answer: They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it very hard for them to express themselves either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch. A child with ASD who is very sensitive may be greatly troubled -- sometimes even pained -- by sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem normal to others. This is what most people think of when they hear the word "autism."
Question: How is Holter monitoring used to diagnose heart palpitations?
Answer: It continuously records your heart's electrical signals for 24 to 48 hours. It can identify rhythm differences that weren't picked up during an EKG.

Question: How can you get heart palpitations from eating foods?
Answer: Medications, including diet pills, decongestants, asthma inhalers, and some drugs used to prevent arrhythmias (a serious heart rhythm problem) or treat an underactive thyroid Some herbal and nutritional supplements Abnormal electrolyte levels Some people have palpitations after heavy meals rich in carbohydrates, sugar, or fat. Sometimes, eating foods with a lot of monosodium glutamate ( MSG), nitrates, or sodium can bring them on, too. If you have heart palpitations after eating certain foods, it could be due to food sensitivity. Keeping a food diary can help you figure out which foods to avoid.
Question: What heart conditions are tied to heart palpitations?
Answer: They can also be related to heart disease. When they are, they're more likely to represent arrhythmia. Heart conditions tied to palpitations include: Prior heart attack Coronary artery disease Heart failure Heart valve problems Heart muscle problems Your doctor will: Give you a physical exam Take down your medical history Want to know about your current medications, diet, and lifestyle Ask for specifics about when, how often, and under what circumstances your palpitations occur Sometimes, a blood test can help your doctor find the cause of your palpitations.
Question: How is event recording used to diagnose heart palpitations?
Answer: Event recording: You'll wear a device on your chest and use a handheld gadget to record your heart's electrical signals when symptoms occur.
Question: What are non-heart-related causes of heart palpitations?
Answer: There can be many. Usually, palpitations are either related to your heart or the cause is unknown. Non-heart-related causes include: Strong emotions like anxiety, fear, or stress.

They can also be related to heart disease.
Question: What should you check on the label on skin lightening products?
Answer: Make sure there is no mercury in the product. Mercury is sometimes listed under other names, such as calomel, mercuric, mercurous, or mercurio. Make sure an over-the-counter skin lightener with hydroquinone has no more than 2% of that chemical. If a label lists hydroquinone but doesn't say how much it contains, don't assume it's safe to use. Some foreign products contain more hydroquinone than is allowed in the U. S. and some labels may not be accurate. If you have any questions about a product you are considering, talk with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain it's safe.
Question: What are skin lightening products?
Answer: Skin lightening products -- also known as bleaching creams, whiteners, skin brighteners, or fading creams -- work by reducing a pigment called melanin in the skin. Most people who use lighteners do so to treat skin problems such as age spots, acne scars, or discoloration related to hormones. It is also a technique used to lighten naturally dark skin.
