See if your home has a rotten egg or sulfuric smell. Listen for a hissing or whistling noise near your appliances or pipes. Check if the flames on your gas stove are orange or yellow instead of blue. Watch for a white cloud or dust moving near your gas lines. Look to see if your any houseplants are dying. Check your gas bill to see if it’s higher than normal. Note any physical symptoms you have while you’re at home.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Natural gases from your appliances have the added chemical mercaptan, making the gas have an unpleasant odor so you can detect it easier. If you notice the smell in your home, it’s possible that you have a gas leak near your stove, water heater, or another appliance.  Check the burners on a gas stove to make sure they’re completely turned off. Immediately turn off the gas supply line and leave the building if there is a strong odor. You may be able to hear the gas leaking from loose connections. If you hear a faint hiss or whistle that you haven’t heard before, walk around your home and listen for the change in volume. When it gets louder, you’re closer to the possible leak. The gas makes a hiss or whistle when it escapes through a tight space, so not all gas leaks will make a noise. Gas stoves should have blue flames, meaning that they have enough oxygen for the gas to completely combust. When there are yellow or orange flames, the natural gas isn’t completely burning and could be contributing to a gas leak. Gas stoves may have orange or yellow flames when they’re first lit. Only be concerned if the flame is consistently orange or yellow. While natural gas is usually colorless, a leak may stir up dust and make a small cloud near your pipes. Keep your eyes open for any mist or clouds that you can’t account for otherwise. Plants need carbon dioxide in order to survive, and gas leaks can limit the amount your plants get. If you notice your plants wilting or yellowing even though you still care for them regularly, you may have gas leaking into your home. Keep plants in areas in your home where gas leaks are common, like in your kitchen or close to a fireplace. Compare your gas bills over a 2-3 month period to see if there’s been a significant change in cost. If you notice a spike in your bill, contact your utility company first to make sure your bill is correct. If everything is right on their end, let them know you may have a gas leak in your home. Keep in mind any changes in your lifestyle. For example, if...


See if your microwave has an installation template or wall plate. Find at least one stud. Drill holes in the template or attach the wall plate. Set microwave into position or onto the wall plate. Plug in the microwave. Thread bolts through the bottom of the cabinet. Connect the blower. Test the microwave.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your model should come with a template to help guide you when installing mounting hardware. Place this on the wall, and the template should tell you where to place the hardware. Some models also come with a mounting bracket that will have pre-drilled holes so you can easily screw it in place. Use a level to make sure that the template is square and that the microwave will sit properly in place. If you didn’t reframe the installation site, you’ll need to attach the mounting hardware to at least one stud in the wall. Use an electronic stud finder, or gently tap on the wall with a hammer. When the taps sound dull instead of hollow, you have located a stud. Mark the site on the wall.  Studs are usually 16 inches (41 cm) inches apart on the wall. Once you find one, measure 16 inches to the either side to mark others. Using your template, make sure that the hardware will be mounted on at least one of the studs. If not, reframe the site or contact a contractor for help. Usually, over the range microwaves will be installed using toggle bolts. Predrilling holes for these bolts will make installation easier--just follow the guidelines on your template. If you are using a wall plate, go ahead and install that using the hardware and guidelines given in your model’s instructions. Most likely, you will need a couple of drill bits: smaller ones for the toggle bolts, and a larger one to make a hole to feed the microwave’s power cord through the cabinet above the appliance (if there isn’t already one). Check your model’s instructions, and always use the recommended tools. It will help to have another person to help you hold up the microwave. Push it up and bring it up to the bottom of the cabinet. If your model has a wall plate, fit it into the bracket that will help hold it in place. Make sure that someone keeps holding the microwave in place for now. Feed the microwave’s power cord through the hole drilled in the bottom of the cabinet above the appliance. Plug the cord into the outlet within the cabinet, but don’t turn the...


See if your pug's eyes are dry. Pay attention to your dog's behavior. Get your pug examined. Use eye drops or prescription medication.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your dog's eyes may look dull, irritated and red. If your dog has keratoconjunctivitis sicca, also known as dry eye, her eyes aren't making enough natural tear fluid. A thick, sticky discharge can also keep seeping from the eyes. Pugs are one breed that are likely to develop dry eyes which are also more common in middle-aged to older dogs. Your pug will try to blink away debris and dirt while lubricating his eyes. But, he won't be able to if he has dry eye. You'll see your dog blinking often, squinting, or keeping his eyes shut. Scratches or infections can cause dry eyes. Since dry eyes can become infected, your dog will need medical care. During an exam, the vet will examine your dog's eyes and test for tear production. The vet will insert a special paper into the corner of your dog's eye. This will show how much tear film your dog makes in one minute and the vet will use the results to make a diagnosis. Other things could be causing the inflammation, like glaucoma or corneal ulcers so the vet will check for those conditions as well. Your dog will need over-the-counter eye drops or prescription medication to lubricate the eyes. Follow the dosing instructions. But, you'll probably need to apply watery artificial tears every hour or four to six times a day if you're using thicker drops. Some medications only need a few applications a day. The vet will probably have you cut back on using medication after your dog's eyes are producing tears again. But, since dry eye is a chronic condition, your dog will probably need to use some lubricant for life.


See if your school offers basic shop classes. Talk to someone about training programs. Find out if your community offers carpentry classes for beginners. Join a volunteer group that will help you gain experience.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

High schools often offer shop classes that will teach you how to safely operate carpentry equipment such as saws and drills. It will also teach you the basics of simple carpentry and will allow you to get some carpentry experience under your belt.  If you have already taken the shop class at your school, ask your teacher if you could be the teacher’s assistant (TA) for the class. While you will have to help grade papers and projects, you will also have access to the shop class’ tools and you may be able to work on your own projects during down time. Find out if your school’s drama department offers a set building class. While this may not seem like the most direct route to becoming a carpenter, these classes will teach you the basics of carpentry while also  allowing you to be a bit more creative than most shop classes. Talk with your guidance counselor about getting into apprenticeships or vocational training programs. Chances are he or she will be able to help you find opportunities in your area that you may not have realized were available to you. Some schools offer Building Trades classes that show you all the various aspects of how to become a carpenter. Some towns have community centers that will put on free or cheap classes teaching people the basics of an art. If carpentry is not an option, talk with the person in charge of setting up the classes and ask if there is a potential for a carpentry class to be hosted in the future. You could also run a simple internet search to find out if there are any carpenters in your area that put on workshops or any classes you could attend. Volunteer programs like Habitat for Humanity sponsor construction projects all the time that allow volunteers to get hands-on experience in the construction of buildings.


See if you’re getting through to your child. See if the tantrums are related to an environmental factor. See if the tantrums persist as the child gets older.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Different children respond to different disciplinary methods. Try a few different things and see what seems to work. If your child keeps throwing tantrums no matter what you do, you might want to get outside assistance from a doctor or therapist, who can provide more ideas that suit the specific needs of your child. Certain environmental stimulants might be causing your child to have more tantrums than normal. Sometimes kids have a sensitivity to food (especially sugar), light, big crowds, music, or other factors that irritate them and cause them to break down in frustration.  Observe the times when your child has tantrums, and see if you think the tantrums are connected to something in the environment. Take away the stimulant and see if that helps. Get professional advice if you’re having trouble figuring out what’s causing the tantrums. Most kids eventually outgrow throwing tantrums when they learn other effective forms of communication. If your child keeps throwing tantrums well past the toddler stage, there may be something going on that needs to be addressed. Consider taking your child to a doctor or therapist to see if there’s a deeper issue at hand. Take your child to the doctor if tantrums are frequent or violent. If your child throws a tantrum multiple times a day, or if the tantrums are particularly violent and exhausting, it’s a good idea to have your child meet with a professional to find out if your child has a need that’s not being met. Violent, frequent tantrums may be a symptom of a developmental issue.


See that he’s the problem, not you. Take positive action in your life. Find other male role models. Build a positive support group.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Are you blaming yourself for your dad’s angry outbursts, excessive drinking, neglect, or emotional instability? Many kids think their parents behave badly because of something they did wrong. If this sounds like you, stop blaming yourself. No matter what your dad or anyone else says, you’re not responsible for his behavior. Your father is an adult, so he's responsible for himself.  If you’re having trouble realizing that you’re not to blame, talk to another adult about what you’re feeling. It may also help to remind yourself by reciting an affirmation like, “Dad is responsible for himself. I am not to blame for his behavior.” Remember that your dad’s behavior does not have anything to do with you. His behavior may be the result of how he was raised, his own trauma, a mental illness, or other factors. That way, you'll be able to sidestep his influence and avoid developing these behavioral patterns later.  To minimize your chances of substance abuse, participate in extracurriculars at school. Involvement in such activities lowers your risk.  Try to identify the unhealthy behaviors you don't want to pick up from your father. Then, look for another role model who demonstrates the types of behaviors you do want. Similarly, if you are being neglected or abused, start working with a counselor to address these issues. Getting help can help you minimize your chances of demonstrating the same behavioral patterns with your own children. You can soften the influence your terrible father has on you by seeking out positive relationships with male role models. Form relationships with male leaders in your school, work, or community. These influences may counter some of the negative effects of having a bad father.  Participate in mentoring programs like Boys Club or Girls, Inc. You might also connect with positive male role models by reaching out to teachers, coaches, community leaders, or spiritual advisors. You might reach out by saying something like, "Coach Greg, I really look up to you. My own dad is hardly ever around....


See the humor and positive in every situation. Laugh at yourself. Surround yourself with positive, supportive, and humorous people. Expose yourself to humorous situations. Set up a daily meditation practice. Sit upright and still and close your eyes. Do gentle yoga.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Even the most difficult situations likely have some positive and humorous moments. They may not be immediately clear, but being able to recognize them and laugh will help you to lighten up in the long term.  Negative thoughts and attitudes are draining and can reinforce seriousness. Seeking out the positive in any person or situation will help shift lighten up.  Some studies have found that a positive attitude can contribute significantly to success and happiness.  For example, if you fall and scrape your knee, don’t focus on the cut or a tear in your clothing, but learn to laugh at your clumsiness or something else humorous that happened in the situation. Part of being able to find the humor in any situation is having the ability to laugh at yourself. Not only can this help you lighten up and relax, but may also help keep everyone around you relaxed. Being able to see the humor in your imperfections can help you accept yourself and show others that you don’t take yourself too seriously. Having positive, supportive, and humorous people around you who can help cultivate a positive attitude and teach you to lighten up. Surrounding yourself with positive people can also help counteract negativity.  These people don’t necessarily have to agree with everything you do, but they should tell you the truth without judging you in any way.  Positive friends and colleagues not only always have your best interest at heart, but can also help you to learn to trust yourself and in turn not take yourself too seriously. Medical research supports the old truism “laughter is the best medicine.” Exposing yourself to humor through jokes or media such as movies can help relieve stress and not be so rigid and serious. Any type of laughing is good so long as it’s not at someone else’s expense. Consider watching funny movies or TV shows, reading humorous books, or simply seeing a comic to elicit laughs. All of these will give you a chance to relax and lighten up. Meditation is a powerful method to improve focus and relax. Allot a few...


See the truth about your differences. Find information about how he/she feels about you. Discover most everything about the other person. Evaluate the way this person fits into your life. Decide whether to cut the relationship off or try to make it work. Think about how long it has been.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Often you will start to fall out of this stage of infatuation once you have gone through all of the possibilities of planning a life together and notice the reality of the situation. For example, you know that you want kids and the other person does not want kids. Maybe you thought that you could work through this, but as time goes on you start to see how much more important this is to you than you thought.   The things you realize about the person after the infatuation period is over are not always incompatible with who you are or your life. For example, you may realize that even though at first you didn't think that her family living in Hawaii would be a challenge, that it is a real challenge. However, the challenge is worth it to you. Once you have enough data to know whether or not the person you are infatuated with really loves you or does not love you,  you will begin to leave the infatuation stage. Over time, even the most infatuated person will start to pick up on the patterns that they are going through with love/unrequited love. This accumulated experience will help the infatuation period come to an end. If you have spent a lot of time together, had enough talks, and done enough things together that you finally feel like you really know him/her, you will likely be coming to the end of your infatuation. Based on what you see, does this person seem like a person who would be well suited for you and who you would be good for? After infatuation, couples can successfully transition into long term, loving, and committed relationships. However, the opposite is also possible. It is possible that you were with someone who was not right for you in the long run, but you were unable to see that because of your feelings of infatuation.   Does this person share the same interests, goals, values and lifestyle that you do? Does this person bring out the good side in you? Or was the relationship all about the chemistry that you shared? Based on your knowledge, decide whether this relationship is a good choice for...


See them as they are. Focus on your partner’s good qualities. Empathize with your partner. Think about the big picture. Accept yourself.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

There are always two versions of a person: the person they are, and the person you see them as.  Sometimes these two identities are closely in alignment, while other times they are not.  It is important to recognize your partner’s faults and flaws, but also to recognize their good qualities.  When you find yourself obsessing over their deficiencies, remind yourself of how sweet, thoughtful, and affectionate they can be.  Give your partner a fair hearing when they insist they can and will change, and be open to the possibility of their doing so.  Demanding that the other person change will not make them or you happy.  They will feel trapped by your demands, and you will feel frustrated by the lack of change. Do not compare your partner with anyone else. Think back to when you first met and fell in love with your spouse.  Reminiscing about these good times will help you see their good side more clearly in the present.  If you’re constantly on the lookout for your partner’s flaws, instead of their positive qualities, you will see them in abundance. Put yourself in your spouse position.  Do you treat them with the same level of respect that you expect for yourself?  How do you feel when someone wants you to make a drastic (or even a minor) change to your personality?  Most of us resist hearing that we are doing something wrong or irritating.  We become defensive, hurt, and angry. Understanding how and why your spouse reacts to criticism will help you soften your approach.  Explaining that you feel attacked or hurt by their demands will, in turn, help them soften theirs. Nobody is perfect.  You and your spouse need to be honest with each other and with yourselves about what qualities, habits, or idiosyncrasies are truly grounds for divorce, and which are merely irritating or inconvenient.  You may think your spouse snores too loudly; walks like a duck; makes too many grammatical errors; or is a shabby dresser.  But these things don’t have to mean an end to your marriage.  Understanding your partner’s limitations...


See where the shadow line falls on your sundial. Find the center longitude of your time zone. Find the distance between|your longitude and the center of your time zone. Add or subtract 4 minutes for every degree away from the center. Add 1 hour if it’s Daylight Saving Time. Calculate the Equation of Time to find the exact time.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Once you’ve set up your sundial, take a look at it when it’s casting a shadow in the sunlight. Note the line that the shadow’s outer edge lines up with and use it to read your sundial like a regular clock. You might see different line denotations based on your sundials, but it should be split into even sections by 5 minutes or 10 minutes so you can get an accurate estimate. Your sundial can be off by up to an hour compared to clock time depending on your longitude. To fix this, first figure out how many hours you are ahead or behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is at 0° longitude. For every hour that you’re ahead, the center of your time zone will shift by 15° east; for every hour you’re behind, the center of your time zone will be 15° west.  For example, Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 8 hours behind GMT. Multiplying 8 hours by 15° gives you 120, so PST’s center longitude is 120° West. You can find the current GMT time by searching online. You can find your own longitude by looking it up online or with a GPS device. Then, calculate the distance from your longitude to the central longitude of your time zone, and note whether you’re to the east or west of it. For example, Seattle is at 122.3° West longitude. The central longitude of its time zone (PST) is 120° West, so Seattle is 2.3° away from it. Now, use your calculation to get a more accurate estimation of the time from your sundial. Multiply the difference between your longitude and the central longitude by 4. If you live west of the central longitude, add your answer to the time; if you live east, subtract it.  In Seattle, for example, you’d multiply 2.3 by 4 to get 9.2. Since Seattle is west of the time zone’s center, sundials in Seattle are 9.2 minutes behind clock time, so you need to add 9.2 minutes to make them equivalent. If your sundial reads that it’s 1:40 pm in Seattle, then, you’d add 9 minutes to estimate that it’s 1:49 pm. Why 4 minutes? Since most time zones are 15° of longitude wide, or 1 hour long, you can divide 60 minutes by 15° to...


See which video input port(s) your TV has. Get the right video cable to connect your laptop to your TV. Obtain an audio cable if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This will depend on whether your TV is a standard-definition or high-definition TV. Video input ports are typically located on the back of the TV, but may also be located on one of the sides.  Standard-definition TVs usually have composite video or S-video ports. The display will not be as sharp as through your PC's regular monitor, however.     High-definition TVs may have VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. VGA connections provide an analog signal, while DVI and HDMI connections provide a digital signal of higher quality.    If you have multiple options (e.g. VGA, S-video and HDMI), try to connect using the highest quality connection. HDMI is the standard for newer laptops and HDTVs, and will result in the best quality and least amount of work adjusting settings.  If your laptop's output port is the same kind as your TV's input port, get a cable with the same kind of connector on each end.     If your laptop's output port and your TV's input port are different, you'll need an adapter cable. Adapters are available to convert DVI to HDMI or VGA to composite video. You can also get an adapter cable to connect your computer's USB port to your TV's HDMI port if your laptop has no HDMI port. Converters, especially analog ones, typically result in a loss of quality, so avoid them if possible.     Branded HDMI cables are often marked up to be very expensive, but virtually any HDMI cable is more than capable of sending the signals to the TV with no loss of quality. Some computers and high-definition TVs can connect to the TV's audio and video with a single cable, while most require separate audio and video cables.  If you connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI, you will not need a separate audio cable as HDMI carries audio signal as well as video signal. All other connection types will require a separate audio cable.     Your laptop's audio output is a 3.5-mm jack marked with a headset icon. You can connect an audio cable from here to your TV's audio input if it has one or to external speakers if it doesn't.     When...


See women as people. Gain some perspective on the issues that women struggle with. Identify women’s accomplishments. Don’t focus so much on women’s appearance. Don’t believe that all women are materialists.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Do not place women, or any particular woman, on a pedestal.  No woman is perfect.  Women are human beings just like you, with their own struggles and challenges.  Many women are just as scared and vulnerable as you are.  Being realistic in your evaluation of women as a whole can render you less afraid of them.  Every woman has her own unique characteristics and traits.  Learn about them in greater depth to find out how to best converse with a given woman.  For instance, you might ask one woman about her favorite sports team, while you might inquire with another about her family.  Learn what each woman values in their life, and encourage her to share it with you. Accept that not all women will get along with you.  Women are individuals, each of whom has their own tastes and preferences.  Some people just don’t get along. Women confront huge problems in their everyday lives that men never have to think about.  Wage disparities, sexual harassment, abortion rights, and the double day are just a handful of the challenges unique to women.  The more you understand women and their struggles, the less they will seem to be an alien race, and the less scared of them you will become.  Read accounts of women’s liberation and struggles.  Literature by feminist activists like Gloria Steinem will enlighten you as to how women’s experiences and goals are different than -- but just as valid as -- those of men. Other important feminist literature like A Room of One’s Own, Herland, and The Yellow Wallpaper will illustrate women’s issues for you in great relief.  Understanding these differences can erode the fear you have for women and replace it with an abiding respect and admiration. Some people think women are best suited to simply being mothers or wives and doing domestic chores.  When you see that women are just as capable of greatness as men, you’ll be less likely to think of them as another, separate category unto themselves.  Think of a professional field and think about all the women who have contributed to it.  Seeing...


See your dentist. Check the fit of your dentures. Avoid irritation from orthodontic appliances. Wear protective gear. Manage your epilepsy safely.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You need to visit your dentist at least twice a year for routine treatment. If you need additional care due to biting issues, you’ll want to make more frequent appointments. Some people are particularly at risk for mouth injuries, such as those with sharp teeth or those who have lots of cavities that might cause fractures and leave sharp edges, so your dentist can suggest possible solutions. For example, if your teeth are not aligned properly, you might find yourself biting your tongue repeatedly. Your dentist or an orthodontist will be able to offer preventative suggestions. Make sure that your dentures fit snugly against your gums and do not move overly much. Your dentures should not have sharp edges. See your dentist to make sure your dentures fit correctly if you are suffering from biting injuries. If you wear orthodontic appliances, make sure that they fit in your mouth without too much movement. Ask your orthodontist about the level of movement that you should anticipate. This will help you to make corrections and avoid biting your tongue. Also, place a small ball of wax over any sharp brackets that may puncture your tongue. If you play a sport where you mouth could be at risk, wear a mouth guard and/or a helmet. These devices will stabilize your jaw in the event of an impact and lessen the possibility of tongue biting or other injuries. If you have epilepsy, provide careful instructions for those around you. Placing an item in your mouth during a seizure may do more harm than good and may lead to biting injuries. Instead, they should call for assistance and roll you onto your side until help arrives.


See your dentist. Get tests and a diagnosis. Undergo treatment. Have a your teeth cleaned. Insert antiseptic treatments. Get oral antibiotics. Take oral antihistamines. Use throat lozenges or sprays. Use an antibiotic mouthwash. Consider periodontal surgery.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you are experiencing itchy gums and home remedies don’t help after seven to 10 days, schedule an appointment with your dentist. She can figure out the cause of your discomfort and find the right treatment for it.  Itchy gums may be a product of fungal, viral, or bacterial infections; certain medications; nutritional deficiencies; improperly fitting dentures; teeth grinding; allergies; stress, or periodontal disease. Schedule your appointment as soon as possible. You may not notice any changes to your gums or mouth with some oral conditions. Tell your dentist when the symptoms started, what treatments you’ve tried, and what relieves or makes symptoms worse. Let your dentist know any medical conditions you have and medications you are taking. If you’re itchy gums, your dentist may check and test for gingivitis, which is a mild form of gum disease with a variety of causes. Once she’s determined a cause for your itchy gums, your dentist will develop the best treatment plan for you.  Your dentist may be able to diagnose gingivitis or the cause of your itchy gums by examining your teeth, gums, and oral cavity. She’ll especially check your gums for redness, puffiness, and easy bleeding, which are symptoms of gingivitis.  Your dentist may refer you to another doctor such as an internist or allergist to rule out underlying conditions. Depending on your diagnosis, your doctor may suggest or prescribe medication to relieve the itching sensation. You may also need medication or treatment to treat underlying oral or medical conditions. In many cases, itchy gums and gingivitis are caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar. Having your teeth deep cleaned can remove the cause of your itchy gums and promote your overall oral health. Your dentist may clean your teeth using one of the following procedures:  Scaling, which removes tartar above and below the gum line Root planing, in which the dentist scales the root surface of the tooth, getting rid of bacteria and infected areas. This process leaves a polished surface for...


See your doctor if diarrhea is a common problem for you. Ask your doctor about antibiotics. Try taking over-the-counter medications. Consider taking herbal remedies.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The occasional bout of diarrhea is normal, but there may be a problem if you experience diarrhea on a regular basis. Talk to your doctor if you:  have has diarrhea for more than two days are having severe pain in your abdomen or rectum are dehydrated have a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit or higher notice blood or pus in your stools or stools that are black and tarry looking Antibiotics can both trigger and help prevent diarrhea, depending on the cause. On the one hand, over-use of antibiotics can kill off the "friendly" bacteria in your large intestine, which creates imbalances and digestive problems that often lead to diarrhea. On the other hand, if you have a bacterial infection that's impacting your GI system and triggering chronic diarrhea, then short-term use of antibiotics can be helpful in helping you fight the infection. Antibiotic use is a thin line to walk when it comes to preventing or causing diarrhea, so follow your doctor's instructions carefully.  Food poisoning usually resolves itself within a few days (a week at the most), so antibiotics are typically not prescribed unless a person has a weakened immune system. If responsible antibiotic use is still triggering diarrhea, then consider supplementing with probiotic supplements (containing strains of healthy bacteria normally found in your large intestine) while you're on the medication and even continuing for a week afterwards.  Other medications that commonly trigger diarrhea include laxatives, blood pressure drugs, chemotherapy, weight loss drugs and antacids (those containing magnesium). Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications, such as loperamide (Imodium A-D) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate), may help reduce the incidence of or outright prevent diarrhea, although they are not recommended for infants and children. Loperamide combats diarrhea by slowing down how fast food and liquid move through your intestines, which allows more water to be absorbed and more solid stool to form. Bismuth subsalicylate works by directly...


See your doctor if lifestyle changes don’t help. Ask your doctor about corneal crosslinking (CXL) to stiffen your cornea. Discuss corneal inserts with your doctor to change your cornea shape. Consult your doctor about a cornea transplant if nothing else helps.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While you might be able to improve your keratoconus with lifestyle changes and corrective eyewear, this doesn’t always work. You may need additional treatment to help you heal. If your vision continues to worsen, talk to your doctor about your options.Your doctor will help you figure out which treatment is best for you. While most people only require glasses or contact lenses, your doctor might recommend CXL to strengthen the collagen bonds in your cornea. CXL is a nonsurgical procedure that takes about an hour. It’s noninvasive, but you might experience a temporary decrease in vision and sensitivity to light for 1 to 3 months. In the majority of cases, vision distortions slow or stop after CXL therapy. Have someone drive you home from the procedure, as you'll experience vision changes. In advanced or serious cases, your doctor might suggest a special plastic implant that helps the cornea keep its shape and corrects vision distortions. They’re implanted surgically, but the procedure only takes 10 to 15 minutes.  You’ll need someone to drive you home after the implantation, and you'll need to rest for a few days after surgery. You’ll probably experience a temporary decrease in vision, but you should have crisper, clearer vision within a few months. The time it takes to recover depends on the severity of your condition.  Corneal inserts don’t stop the progression of keratoconus, but they can improve vision. Because of this, some doctors administer CXL (to stop deterioration) and corneal inserts (to correct vision) at the same appointment. While rare, advanced, severe cases of keratoconus require a cornea transplant. Transplantation is usually only advised when other treatment options have failed. Your doctor will explain how to prepare for the procedure and will provide you with postoperative care instructions. You’ll be able to go home the day of surgery, but you’ll need someone to drive you home. Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition, and could take up to 6 to 12 months.


See your doctor if tinnitus symptoms are bothering you. Visit your doctor if tinnitus suddenly appears after a respiratory infection. See your doctor if your tinnitus causes other symptoms. Get a diagnostic test from your doctor. Tell your doctor if you’ve been exposed to loud noises. Ask your doctor about blood vessel disorders as a possible cause. Check if your medications may cause tinnitus. Treat your underlying condition if you have one. Get a hearing aid if your doctor recommends it for you.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You might experience short-term tinnitus that goes away. However, tinnitus that persists can be really annoying and may make it hard to live your life. Fortunately, your doctor may help you create a treatment plan to help you find relief. Visit your doctor if you have the following symptoms:  Ringing Buzzing Clicking Hissing Roaring Humming You might experience tinnitus after a cold, the flu, bronchitis, or another respiratory infection. When this happens, your tinnitus should resolve quickly. However, you need to see your doctor if it persists. Let them know that your symptoms were triggered by a respiratory infection. See your regular doctor first. However, they may refer you to a specialist such as an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (ENT specialist or otolaryngologist). Tinnitus can cause complications, which might interfere with your life. If this happens to you, your doctor may be able to help you find a treatment that gives you relief. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of the following complications: Fatigue Stress Insomnia Trouble concentrating Memory issues Depression Anxiety Irritability The doctor will likely physically examine your ears with an otoscope (a lighted instrument for inspecting ears). You may also undergo a hearing test and potentially some imaging tests such as an MRI or a CT scan. In some cases, more extensive tests may be necessary.  In general, these tests are not invasive or painful but may cause some discomfort. Common causes of tinnitus include Meniere’s Disease, Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, head and neck injuries, benign tumors, and hypothyroidism. In some cases, tinnitus can be caused by aging or age-related conditions, like menopause. Loud noises can contribute to tinnitus, so it’s important that your doctor knows if you have this risk factor. Discuss your current and past exposure to loud noises and ask if it may be to blame.  For instance, working around loud construction equipment or attending concerts may trigger tinnitus. Your doctor may recommend you...


See your doctor if you experience any of the symptoms associated with gallbladder disease. Schedule an ultrasound of your abdomen. Schedule gallbladder surgery if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If your symptoms match many of the ones above, you should definitely seek medical attention. If you are experiencing symptoms, if your symptoms are worsening, or if you develop new symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible. Some gallbladder problems, such as smaller gallstones, will not require invasive medical treatment. These can sometimes resolve on their own.  However, a doctor’s visit is needed to determine this. To determine how effectively your gallbladder is functioning or whether there are large obstructions to the organ, an ultrasound will be needed. The ultrasound technician will check for gallstones, bile flow, and signs of tumors (which are rare).  Most polyps found in the gallbladder during the ultrasound are very small and do not need removal. Your doctor may want to monitor smaller polyps through additional ultrasound examinations to ensure they do not grow. Larger polyps generally indicate a greater risk of gallbladder cancer. Removal of gallbladder polyps is at the discretion of your doctor. Many gallbladder problems are resolved with the removal of large gallstones or the gallbladder itself (cholecystectomy). The body can function normally without the gallbladder, so do not be alarmed if your doctor recommends its removal.  Gallstones are almost never treated with medicine. It takes years to dissolve the stone with medicine, and the stones that can be treated effectively are so small that it almost never worth the bother. Removal of the gallbladder sometimes have side effects, (such as loose stools) but often none at all.


See your doctor if you experience symptoms of hyperuricemia or gout. Have your doctor test your uric acid levels. Check for uric acid crystals. Ask your doctor to rule out any other issues. Follow your doctor’s instructions for care. Treat gout.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Gout or gout-like symptoms can be very painful but are normally easily treatable. If you experience any sudden joint pain, go and see your doctor for a diagnosis. High levels of uric acid in the body are the underlying cause of hyperuricemia and gout. If your doctor finds your symptoms suspicious, they will test these levels to be sure. This test normally involves a blood draw. Your doctor will have the blood sample analyzed to check how high your uric acid level is. This is another way to test the concentration of uric acid in your body. A needle will be inserted into the joint bothering you, and some fluid will be drawn out. Your doctor will examine this fluid under a microscope to see if there are crystals present. You may have hyperuricemia or gout even if there are no crystals present, however, so your doctor may order additional tests as well. Symptoms caused by gout can be similar to those of other conditions. To make a definitive hyperuricemia/gout diagnosis, these other conditions must be ruled out. For example, your doctor may have a fluid sample from your problem joint tested for bacteria to see whether or not the problem is caused by a joint infection instead. Hyperuricemia is not a disease, and many times treatment is not necessary unless it develops into gout. However, your doctor may advise you to make dietary or lifestyle changes to reduce the chances of this happening.  For example, your doctor may advise you to limit things like red meat, alcohol, dried beans, and corn syrup, all of which may contribute to hyperuricemia. You may also be advised to exercise. Good options include activities that involve aerobics, flexibility, or strength training without being strenuous, including swimming, tai chi, walking, dancing, and weight lifting. If your doctor determines you have gout, they will usually suggest medications to take that will give you relief from attacks and help prevent future ones. Always follow their dosing instructions, and ask about any potential side effects. Common options...


See your doctor if you get a positive result. Check with your doctor if you think you got a false positive result. Wait and retest if you get a negative result.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can if you receive a positive result. A positive result means the woman is pregnant, even if the symbol on the test has only changed a little bit. Talk to your doctor about what to do next and discuss how to begin prenatal care. Make an appointment with your doctor to determine whether the woman is actually pregnant or had a false positive result. False positive results are very rare but may be the result of using HCG injections for fertility. There is no pregnancy with a false positive result.   False positives can occur if you take a pregnancy test shortly after taking a fertility drug that contains hCG. False positives can also occur during menopause or if the woman has problems with her ovaries. A negative result may indicate that the woman is not pregnant, or that she tested too early. Take another test if you are not sure about the results of the test or if any of the following apply:  You took the test too early in the woman’s pregnancy. You didn’t correctly take the test. You mistakenly used an expired test. The woman consumed too much fluid before taking the test. Certain medications the woman is taking inhibit a positive result.


See your doctor if you have more than 15 acne bumps on your back.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While you can often treat your acne at home, it's more difficult to treat your acne if it's widespread on your back. Your doctor or dermatologist can offer you additional treatments to help you heal faster. Talk to your doctor or visit a dermatologist to learn about your treatment options. Then, use your treatments as directed. You may be able to use oral medications or prescription creams to treat your acne. Similarly, a dermatologist may also offer you a chemical peel to remove dead skin cells and oil so your acne can heal.


See your doctor if you have symptoms of kidney disease. Seek medical attention if you have kidney pain. Consult your doctor before making changes to your diet. Ask your doctor about taking herbs and supplements. Follow your doctor’s care instructions carefully.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you’re concerned that you might have a problem with your kidneys, it’s important to get a medical diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Call your doctor immediately if you have symptoms such as:  Nausea, vomiting, or changes in appetite Fatigue, weakness, or difficulty sleeping Difficulty urinating or a change in how much you urinate Muscle twitches or cramps Difficulty concentrating Swelling in your feet or ankles Itchy skin Chest pain or shortness of breath Pain in your kidneys could be a sign of kidney stones, an infection, or some other serious complication. Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as a persistent, dull pain in your side or in one side of your back, a fever, body aches, fatigue, or nausea and vomiting. Let them know if you’ve recently had a urinary tract infection.  Call emergency services or go to the emergency room if you have severe kidney pain that comes on suddenly, or if you have kidney pain along with blood in your urine. The dietary needs of people with kidney disease are different from those of people with healthy kidneys. Before you start making changes to your diet, talk to your doctor about the health of your kidneys and find out which foods are safe and beneficial for you. For example, most people can benefit from adding more potassium to their diet, and getting enough potassium may help prevent the development of kidney stones. However, if you have kidney disease, eating foods high in potassium can be harmful. Before taking any dietary or supplement or herb, it’s very important to talk to your doctor about the possible risks and benefits. Some supplements can interact dangerously with medications, and they can also make your condition worse if you already have kidney disease. Ask your doctor if the supplements you’re interested in are likely to be safe or helpful for you.  Before trying a supplement, give your doctor a full list of any other prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or supplements you are taking. Let them know if...


See your doctor if you suspect you have kidney stones. Drink at least 6 to 8  c (1.4 to 1.9 L) of water per day. Take pain relievers as needed or as advised by a doctor. Ask your doctor if they recommend an alpha-blocker. Attempt to collect a stone, if your doctor advises. Allow at least a few weeks for kidney stones to pass.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the sides, back, groin, or lower abdomen, as well as pain while urinating, cloudy urine, and the inability to urinate or blood in your urine. See your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to come up with the proper treatment plan. Doctors diagnose kidney stones using blood and urine tests, ultrasounds, and x-rays. Tests and imaging scans can let them know what kind of stones you have, how large they are, and whether they're small enough to pass on their own. Water flushes your kidneys and can help the stones pass. Check your urine to monitor your fluid intake. If your urine is pale yellow, you're drinking enough water. If it's dark, you're dehydrated.  Staying hydrated can help prevent future stones from forming, so drinking plenty of water every day is essential. Water is best, but you can also drink ginger ale and some types of 100% fruit juice in moderation. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice and cranberry juice, which can increase the risk of kidney stones.  Avoid caffeine or limit your consumption, as it can lead to dehydration. Try to drink no more than 1  c (240 mL) of caffeinated coffee, tea, or cola per day. While most kidney stones go away without medical treatment, passing them is still a painful process. To manage pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Check the label, and use your medication as directed.  If over-the-counter pain relievers aren't effective, ask your doctor for a prescription medication. If necessary, they'll give you a prescription-strength pain reliever (such as ibuprofen) or, in some cases, prescribe a narcotic pain reliever.  Be sure to take any prescription medication according to your doctor's instructions. Alpha-blockers relax muscles in the urinary tract and can make it easier to pass kidney stones. They're available by prescription and, typically, should be taken 30 minutes after a meal at the same time daily. Side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, diarrhea, and...


See your doctor if your foot fungus doesn't improve after 2 weeks. Consult your doctor if you have diabetes and develop foot fungus. Use an antifungal medication to clear up a persistent infection.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your symptoms should start to improve after you start treating the fungal infection. If they don't, you may need medical treatment. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and how long you've been having them. Then, discuss your treatment options so you can feel better.  Typically, foot fungus starts growing between your toes and can spread to the rest of your foot. The affected area will likely get red and may feel itchy, dry, or scaly. You may also feel a burning sensation.  Toenail fungus is also a type of foot fungus. This causes yellowish or brownish nails that thicken and crumble easily. Additionally, your nail may separate from the nail bed and come off. When you have diabetes, infections on your feet can quickly become serious and cause complications. You probably don't need to worry, but it's best to get treatment as soon as you notice symptoms. This will help you protect your feet and avoid potential complications.Since diabetes can affect your nerves, it's possible that your fungal infection may become more serious before you notice the symptoms. This means it's really important to get checked by your doctor. Look for an over-the-counter antifungal ointment, cream, powder, or spray. Then, apply the product as directed on the label. Typically, you'll need to use your antifungal product twice a day until your foot heals. If your infection is serious or won't go away, your doctor may give you a prescription-strength treatment. They may even offer you an oral antifungal medication to help you heal faster.


See your doctor if your immune system is compromised. Call a doctor immediately if the common symptoms worsen. Seek immediate medical care if you experience certain severe symptoms. Get vaccinated. Visit your doctor if you don’t get relief from home remedies. Ask about antiviral drugs.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

With most common viruses and with most healthy adults, viral infections clear without additional treatment.  If, however, an individual’s immune system is compromised, a doctor should be called as soon as any symptoms of infection occur. Immune compromise can occur in the very young, older individuals, those infected with HIV/AIDs, individuals who have had an organ transplant and cancer patients going through chemotherapy.  Watch for these common symptoms of viral infections:  Fever Joint aches and pains Sore throat Headache Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Skin rash Fatigue Nasal congestion If any of the common viral infection symptoms becomes severe, call a physician immediately.  If a physician is not available, call for emergency services. If you experience any of the following symptoms at any time, go to your nearest emergency room.  Any change in your alertness or level of consciousness Chest pain A deep chest cough that produces wet or liquid yellow, green or brownish phlegm (discharge) Lethargy or unresponsiveness to stimuli (sounds, light, touch) Any form of seizure Any shortness of breath, wheezing, or any difficulty breathing A stiff or sore neck, or a severe headache Yellowing of the skin or the sclera (the whites of the eyes) Specific treatment always depends on the specific virus.  There are hundreds of different viruses that are known to infect humans. Many can be largely prevented with vaccination, such as influenza, chicken pox, shingles and others. Talk with your doctor about getting vaccinated against certain viruses. If you experience symptoms that you think may be a viral infection for more than 48 hours without getting relief from the approaches listed, make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible. Many viral infections, like the common cold (rhinoviruses), the flu (influenza virus), measles (rubeola) or mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV), require primarily supportive treatment.   Other viruses cause serious, life-threatening diseases such as cancer and Ebola. Some...


See your doctor if your symptoms worsen. Undergo tests for viral and bacterial infections. Take medication according to your doctor’s instructions.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

In most cases, a stuffy nose or thick nasal mucus can be treated at home. If your symptoms last longer than 10 days, see a doctor. Visit the doctor if you develop:  A fever Yellow or green mucus Pain in your sinuses around your nose, cheekbones, and forehead. Blood in your mucus Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms. They may swab your nose and throat to test to see if you have a viral infection like the flu or a bacterial infection. If your doctor thinks an allergy is to blame, they may do a blood test or a skin prick test. If your doctor determines that you have a bacterial infection, they may prescribe you an antibiotic. If you have a virus, they may give you antiviral drugs. If you have allergies, you may receive an antihistamine.  Follow the instructions on the label of the medication for taking it. Get a diagnosis from your doctor and follow their instructions.


See your doctor if you’ve never had kidney stone symptoms before. Get emergency medical care if you have severe symptoms. Use pain relievers as recommended by your doctor. Walk around as much as possible. Take a hot bath or shower.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you’re not sure whether your symptoms are from kidney stones, it’s important to get a medical exam and a proper diagnosis. Your doctor can rule out any other possible conditions or complications that could be causing your symptoms. They can also help you figure out the best course of treatment for your kidney stones.  Common symptoms of kidney stones include pain (in the side, back, abdomen, or groin), painful urination, pink or brown urine, nausea or vomiting, urgent or frequent urination, and fever or chills (if you have a secondary infection). You might feel sudden, constant pain in one side of your back, which is called renal colic. Even if you’ve had kidney stones before, talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. If your doctor suspects kidney stones, they may strain your urine to check for kidney stones or to try to determine their composition. Sometimes, kidney stones can cause additional complications that need medical attention right away (such as blockages or infections). Call emergency services or go to the emergency room if:  Your pain is so bad that you can’t stay still or get comfortable in any position. You have nausea and vomiting along with pain. You have pain with fever and chills. You see blood in your urine or have difficulty passing any urine. If your kidney stones are relatively small, you may be able to manage the pain with over-the-counter pain medication. Common options include ibuprofen (Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and naproxen (Aleve).  Before taking any of these medications, tell your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking or additional health concerns you may have. Some doctors recommend combining acetaminophen with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen for greater pain relief. Ask your doctor if you can safely use these medications together. If your pain is too severe to manage with over-the-counter medications, your doctor may prescribe something stronger. While moving around may be the last thing...


See your doctor immediately. Take prednisone. Take antivirals. Use over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Treating Bell's Palsy is easiest if given prompt attention. If you have unusual feelings in your face or an inability to control your facial muscles, let your doctor know as soon as possible. They can determine if the problem is Bell's Palsy or a different medical issue, and determine the best treatment plan for you. Signs that you may have Bell's Palsy include:  Trouble closing or blinking one or both eyes Difficulty controlling facial expressions Twitching Drooping eyelids Drooling Difficulty tasting Dry eye or mouth Excessive tearing of the eye This corticosteroid is an anti-inflammatory that your doctor may prescribe. Your doctor may prescribe you to take it for a week, then reduce the dosage for the following week.  As an anti-inflammatory, prednisone may help reduce the swelling of the facial nerve causing Bell's Palsy. It may also relieve some of the pain caused by muscle tension.  Before taking prednisone, talk with your doctor about possible drug interactions, especially if you are taking birth control, blood thinners, or have pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, HIV, or heart problems, or if you are pregnant or nursing. Acyclovir is an antiviral medication that is used to fight herpes simplex (which causes cold sores), but it may also help treat Bell's Palsy. It is not certain that acyclovir alone can have this effect, but it is often prescribed in combination with prednisone as a treatment for the disorder. The combination of acyclovir and prednisone as an effective treatment suggests that Bell's Palsy may be caused by herpes simplex. Bell's Palsy may cause pain in addition to the loss of muscle control and other symptoms. Taking OTC pain relievers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen can help reduce your discomfort. To prevent harmful drug interactions, always talk to your doctor about taking any over-the-counter medications if you are currently on any prescription medications.


See your doctor or a podiatrist if pain persists or worsens. Have your doctor or specialist examine your posture and gait. Ask if they recommend night splints. Ask about ultrasound therapy. Discuss steroid or anti-inflammatory injections. Discuss surgical treatments with your podiatrist, if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If your pain doesn’t go away after 2 to 3 weeks of home care, your best option is to seek medical treatment. If you don’t have a podiatrist, or a foot specialist, ask your primary doctor for a referral.  Your doctor or specialist will perform a physical exam and ask about your physical activity, when the pain started, and if it’s worse at certain times of the day. Depending on your physical exam and severity of your symptoms, they might recommend an x-ray. The way you stand or walk can cause or aggravate heel pain. If necessary, your doctor will recommend ways to correct imbalances or gait abnormalities. Night splints keep your ankle in a neutral position while you sleep. This gently stretches your plantar fascia and calf muscle, and prevents your ankle from rolling into a position that might aggravate your pain. If your podiatrist recommends, wear a night splint overnight for at least 1 to 3 months. Continuing use even after your pain goes away can help prevent symptoms from returning. If other treatment methods aren’t effective, your doctor might recommend ultrasound therapy. In this procedure, sound waves are projected into the affected area. It could relieve inflammation and stimulate blood flow. Ultrasound therapy is non-invasive, so it’s usually recommended before injections or surgery. Your doctor or specialist will first recommend conservative treatment, such as stretching, taping, or night splints. If your symptoms are severe or conservative treatment doesn’t work, they might inject a corticosteroid or other anti-inflammatory medication into the heel. They’ll numb the area first, so the injection won't hurt. If your symptoms persist for more than 6 to 12 months and no other treatments are effective, surgery might be the best option. While cases are rare, surgery is sometimes necessary to correct plantar fasciitis, remove a heel spur, or relieve compressed nerves. People who have surgery for heel pain can usually go home on the day of surgery. You might have to wear a boot or splint, and your doctor...


See your doctor promptly if you experience serious symptoms. Get your cholesterol and blood pressure tested regularly. Ask your doctor if you should take aspirin. Discuss prescription statins with your doctor. Ask if they recommend high blood pressure medication. Discuss medical procedures or surgery with your doctor, if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Plaque deposits don’t cause symptoms until blood flow is slowed or blocked. Signs of a blocked artery include chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness or pain in the arms or legs, and nausea or vomiting. See your doctor if experience any of these symptoms, as they could be due to a variety of medical conditions. Adults over 40 should have their blood pressure screened annually, and adults between 18 and 39 should be tested every 3 to 5 years. All adults should over age 20 should be tested for high cholesterol every 5 years. If you have high cholesterol or a history of diabetes, kidney disease, or other medical issues, you’ll need more frequent cholesterol screening. Aspirin and other over the counter medications can reduce the risk of a blood clot. Ask your doctor if they recommend over the counter drugs and, if so, the dosage you should take. Generally, your recommendation will be a equivalent to a child's aspirin dosage of 82.5 mg per day. Don’t take aspirin daily without consulting your doctor. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor might prescribe a statin, which is a medication that lowers LDL levels. Take any medication as prescribed, and don’t stop taking medication unless your doctor recommends.  Ask your doctor, “Which statin is best for my particular situation? Would it interact negatively with any medications I currently take?” Even if you take a statin, you’ll still need to make lifestyle changes to manage high cholesterol, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising. High blood pressure increases the risk of arterial plaque loosening from the arterial walls, which can lead to a blocked artery. If necessary, your doctor will recommend medication to lower your blood pressure. Take any medication according to their instructions, and don’t stop taking it without their guidance. A medical procedure or surgery might be necessary if arterial plaque is slowing or blocking blood flow. Your doctor will help you decide which treatment option is best.  Angioplasty is a nonsurgical procedure used to...


See your doctor promptly if you have heel pain. Distinguish between plantar fasciitis and other conditions. Avoid stone bruises. Avoid heel spurs. Seek medical attention for pain that occurs behind your heel. Avoid injury behind your heel.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Heel pain often goes ignored, which allows the underlying problem to worsen.  If rest is possible, many conditions that cause heel pain may resolve on their own. But since most people do not have the option to stay off their feet for a week or so, the condition often continues to develop, leading to more pain and discomfort.  While plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, it is not the only possible condition that can cause discomfort in your heel area. Common causes of heel pain can be broadly divided into two areas. Those areas include problems that cause pain beneath the heel, and those that cause pain behind the heel.  Common problems that cause pain beneath the heel, other than plantar fasciitis, include stone bruises and heel spurs.  Stone bruises occur when you step on something small and solid that bruises the fat pad on the bottom of your foot beneath your heel.  This type of injury will gradually get better with rest, and staying off your feet as much as possible for the time recommended by your doctor.  Other medical conditions can also lead to pain in this area, such as infection, neuropathic pain, nerve pain from S1 radiculopathy and entrapment syndromes, such as entrapment of nerves in the tunnels of the foot. This type of injury can be avoided by wearing shoes instead of going barefoot. Selecting shoes with thick and flexible soles can also help to prevent this type of injury by preventing small, hard objects from penetrating through to your heel area. Heel spurs are small, bony protrusions made of calcium deposits that can be seen on X-ray. In many cases, heel spurs are caused by chronic cases of plantar fasciitis.  The treatment of a heel spur is the same as that for plantar fasciitis, which includes rest, stretching exercises, heel inserts in some cases, and wearing properly fitting supportive shoes.  Heel spurs can be avoided by seeking early treatment for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, and by taking the same preventive measures.  Some of those measures include...


See your doctor regularly to manage your asthma symptoms.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Asthma is a lifelong condition, and your doctor can help control your symptoms so you can breathe easily. Talk to them about your symptoms, as well as the treatments you’re using. Let them know if your symptoms worsen so they can offer you better treatment options. Don’t stop taking your medication unless your doctor tells you it’s okay. Never take more medication than your doctor directs. Only use herbal remedies if your doctor says it’s safe.


See your doctor soon if you think that you are having a shingles outbreak. Seek care immediately if the rash is widespread or is near your eye. Get treated as soon as possible if you’re over 70 or immunocompromised.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

There are a number of anti-viral medicines that you can take to reduce the severity of an outbreak, but they be need to be started quickly for maximum effect.  Some common medications used are acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex), and famciclovir (Famvir).  Pain medications can help with the painful symptoms of shingles, but these should be prescribed by your doctor. Everyone with shingles should see a doctor to prevent complications. However, get care as soon as possible if the rash shows up around or near your eye. Leaving this untreated can cause blindness. Also talk to your doctor immediately if your rash covers large areas of your body and is painful. The older you are when you are affected by shingles, the higher your risk of developing serious complications. Those over 70 are at a greatly increased risk. The same is true if you have a weak immune system from disease or medications. If you get shingles and someone else in your household is elderly or immunocompromised it is very important that you’re treated immediately to reduce their chance of getting the virus.


See your doctor to get a prescription for your gastritis. Use an herbal remedy for a more natural alternative. Try supplements that can help reduce inflammation. Avoid using NSAIDs for pain relief.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If your gastritis is really bothering you and no other treatments are working, make an appointment to see your doctor. They’ll be able to examine you and prescribe a medication that can help treat your symptoms. They’ll also be able to recommend strategies you can use to relieve your symptoms.  In some cases your doctor might decide to perform an endoscopy, which involves inserting a small tube, called an endoscope, down your esophagus and into your stomach. The endoscope has a camera to visualize lesions, and the ability to take biopsies to check for infections or other abnormal stomach conditions. Always follow the directions on the package or your doctor's instructions when taking medication. Do not take more than the recommended dose unless advised to do so by your doctor. Herbs, such as the leaves of the hardy orange, have been used for centuries to battle the symptoms of gastritis. Look for herbal remedies that can help with the symptoms of your gastritis as a natural way to treat your symptoms.  Cranberry helps to fight H. pylori infections by preventing the bacteria from attaching to tissues. Cranberry juice and pills are both effective.  Taking 1,000-2,000 mg of mastic extract daily can inhibit the growth of H. pylori bacteria.  DGL-licorice extract reduces inflammation and fights H. pylori bacteria. DGL is licorice without glycyrrhizin — a chemical with negative side effects. Peppermint taken as a tablet or as a tea after meals soothes the stomach and fights H. pylori bacteria.  Ginger helps to prevent ulcers and to reduce the amount of H. pylori in your gut. You can take it by chewing on fresh ginger, boiling it and drinking the liquid, or adding ginger powder to a drink. The right oils and vitamins can help to reduce inflammation of your stomach lining and also fight H. pylori, the bacteria that causes many cases of gastritis. Supplements that can help treat your gastritis include:  Vitamin E to reduce inflammation. Vitamin C to help eliminate H. pylori in your stomach.  Omega-3 fatty acids like...


See your doctor while you're pregnant. Get the first trimester combined test. Ask about the integrated screening test. Consider the cell-free fetal DNA analysis.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your doctor or pediatrician can tell you if your child has Down syndrome once they are born, but if you want to know beforehand, ask about the various types of screening tests. Prenatal screening tests can show if there is an increased likelihood your unborn baby has Down syndrome, but they are not a perfect estimate.  If a prenatal screening test shows an increased likelihood your baby has Down syndrome, then your doctor will recommend a diagnostic test to be more certain. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all women (regardless of age) get screening tests for Down syndrome. There are different screening tests related to how far along you are in your pregnancy and include: the first trimester combined test, the integrated screening test and the cell-free fetal DNA analysis. The first trimester combined test is done within the first 3 months of pregnancy and involves two steps: a blood test and an ultrasound exam. The blood test measures levels of PAPP-A (pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A) and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone being produced in your body. (HCG). In addition, a painless ultrasound exam is used on your abdomen to measure an area on the back of the fetus's neck called the nuchal translucency.  Abnormal levels of PAPP-A and HCG typically indicate something unusual with your baby, but not necessarily Down syndrome. The nuchal translucency screening test measures the amount of fluid that's collected there. Abnormally high amounts of fluid usually indicates a genetic disability, but not just Down syndrome. Your doctor will consider your age (older equals higher risk), the results of the blood test, and the ultrasound images to decide if it's likely your fetus has Down syndrome. Just keep in mind that these types of tests are not done in every instance of pregnancy. However, if you are over 35, then you are at higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome and your doctor may recommend testing. The integrated screening test is done during the first...


See your doctor. Allow your potassium levels to rebound naturally. Add more dairy products to your diet. Eat more high-potassium fruits. Add more vegetables that are high in potassium. Add more meat that is rich in potassium. Eat seafoods that are a good source of potassium. Add high-potassium nuts and legumes. Use molasses in recipes. Learn which foods are low in potassium.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you suspect that you have low levels of potassium, then you should see your doctor before turning to supplements or other methods of boosting your potassium intake. When straying from a standard diet, you can easily overdo it and end up with too much potassium in your diet. Experts suggest 4,700 mg of potassium a day in a balanced diet. Your doctor will run the appropriate blood tests to determine your actual potassium levels, and he will prescribe the correct course of action for you based on those results.  In most cases your treatment will involve more potassium-rich foods in your diet. Follow your doctor's recommendations closely to avoid introducing too much potassium into your diet. If you recently suffered from the common causes of low potassium, such as diarrhea, vomiting, or sweating due to an illness—or if you recently took a short-term prescription of antibiotics—your potassium levels will most often return to normal as soon as you're well again. Your doctor will likely suggest adding some potassium-rich foods until you're well again rather than taking a potassium supplement. Dairy products deliver some of the highest sources of potassium you can find in a single serving of food. One cup of yogurt, for instance, contains roughly 579 mg of potassium. One cup of nonfat milk can contain as much as 382 mg of potassium.  Opt for nonfat options whenever possible since too much full-fat dairy dramatically increases your daily calorie intake. Do not turn to dairy options if you are lactose intolerant. You can still find plenty of potassium from other sources. Select fruits are great sources of potassium. Make sure you choose a potassium-rich fruit, though, because not all fruits are created equal in this regard. Fruits high in potassium include:  422 mg in a medium-size banana 390 mg in half of a papaya 378 mg in three average apricots 368 mg in one cup of cantaloupe 355 mg in 3/4 cup of orange juice 273 mg in 1/4 cup raisins 254 mg in one cup of strawberries Fruits aren't the only potassium-rich...


See your doctor. Ask about available medications. Look into a pulmonary rehabilitation regimen. Follow your doctor’s advice regarding nutrition therapy. Ask about oxygen therapy. Talk to your doctor about surgical options.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

There is a wide assortment of options available to help treat or slow the progression of emphysema. The first step is to see your doctor who will perform tests to determine your current lung function and help come up with the best treatment plan for you. A few different medication options are available to help relieve symptoms such as wheezing or difficulty breathing. These options include:  Bronchodilators — Bronchodilators work by dilating your airway muscles, causing them to open and allow more oxygen. This decreases wheezing. There are both short and long acting bronchodilators.  Both beta agonist and anticholinergic medications are utilized. Examples include Albuterol, Xopenex, and Atrovent.  Inhaled Corticosteroids — These work by decreasing the inflammation involved with COPD to help relieve shortness of breath. Studies have shown that inhaled glucocorticoids reduce exacerbations and modestly decrease the progression of respiratory symptoms.  Combination treatment with bronchodilators and corticosteroids significantly improves response to therapy and improves outcomes. Examples are Pulmicort (budesonide), Flovent (fluticasone), Aerobid (flunisolide), and Asmanex (mometasone).  Mucolytics — These drugs (such as Mucomyst) thin mucus, making it easier to cough up. This helps reduce flare ups.  Oral Steroids —  These options work systemically to decrease the inflammation on a systemic level. They are useful in treating COPD exacerbation (flare up complications triggered by pollutants, respiratory infections, etc.), making them an acute option rather than part of your normal regimen.  For stubborn inflammation, oral theophylline and PDE-4 inhibitors may be used. Pulmonary rehabilitation therapy is an important part of managing the disease. Most notably, it includes meetings with a therapist who will teach you better breathing techniques and exercises.  Breathing techniques include exhaling through pursed lips to slow your breathing and keep your airways open for a longer duration, as well as diaphragmatic...


See your doctor. Consider the geographical limitations of dengue fever. Consider vulnerable areas in the United States. Think about your recent travel. Recognize the mosquito.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you have symptoms consistent with dengue fever, see your doctor as soon as possible to determine the diagnosis.  Blood tests are available that can help your doctor to determine if you have been exposed to dengue fever. Your doctor will do blood work that helps to identify the presence of antibodies to dengue fever. It does take several weeks to get the full results of the blood tests. Changes in your platelet count can be checked to help verify the diagnosis. People that are infected with dengue fever have lower than normal platelet counts.  An additional test called the tourniquet test can help with the diagnosis by providing your doctor with information about the condition of your capillaries. This test is not conclusive, but can be used to help with the diagnosis.  Research is underway to develop new tests that confirm the diagnosis of dengue fever, including some that are point-of-care tests. Point-of-care tests can be performed at the doctor’s office or in a hospital setting and provide quick confirmation of the infection.  Your signs and symptoms are often enough for your doctor to determine that you have been infected with dengue fever, start supportive treatment, and monitor your progress. While dengue fever is a global problem, there are areas where the infection is more prevalent, and locations where it has never been reported.  The areas of the world where you are more likely to be bitten by a mosquito that carries dengue fever include tropical locations such as Puerto Rico, Latin America, Mexico, the Honduras, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands.  The World Health Organization also identifies other areas that have cases frequently reported including some areas of Africa, South America, Australia, Eastern Mediterranean countries, and island locations in the western Pacific.  Recent cases have been reported in Europe, France, Croatia, the Madeira islands of Portugal, China, Singapore, Costa Rica, and Japan. In 2013, several cases were reported in Florida.  A recent report posted in July of...


See your doctor. Eat probiotics. Drink chamomile tea. Try psyllium. Try a marshmallow root supplement. Drink a mix with slippery elm powder. Try apple cider vinegar. Try using an astringent herb.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

For diarrhea caused by certain types of infections, herbal remedies can actually worsen instead of improve your symptoms. Consult your doctor before turning to an herbal remedy. The living bacteria in probiotics boost the number of healthy bacteria in your gut, which are often lost due to diarrhea. By reintroducing these healthy bacteria, your digestive tract can get back to normal functioning more quickly. Probiotics are available as supplements, and they’re also found in probiotic brands of yogurt. Chamomile tea has traditionally been used to treat inflammation, including in the GI tract. Drink up to three cups a day, sipping in small quantities to help your body absorb the liquid. Note that chamomile can lead to reactions in those allergic to ragweed, and it can also interfere with some medications, including hormonal medications. Psyllium is a soluble fiber (meaning that it absorbs water). It can lead to firmer stool while experiencing diarrhea. Always drink psyllium with a large glass of water. Speak to your doctor before taking psyllium if you have inflammatory bowel disease. Marshmallow has also traditionally been used as an inflammation-reducing herb. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for a supplement.  You can also cold brew this herb as a tea by putting two tablespoons in one quart of water overnight. Strain before drinking. This herb can interfere with some medications—such as lithium—so consult your doctor before taking. Slippery elm powder has also been used traditionally to soothe inflamed GI tracts. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  Steep four grams of the powder in two cups of boiling water, and allow it to steep for three to five minutes. You can drink this up to three times each day while you have diarrhea. Some herbalists believe that slippery elm can lead to miscarriage. Consult with your doctor before taking slippery elm if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Apple cider vinegar is believed to have antimicrobial properties. If used to combat diarrhea, try stirring two teaspoons...


See your doctor. Examine the symptoms with your doctor. Get tests and a diagnosis. Be X-rayed or have an MRI. Have medical treatments. Attend physical therapy. Consider cortisone injections in the affected area. Ask about a FAST operation on the affected area.

If home treatment isn't working or the tendinitis is adversely affecting your daily life, see your doctor. Tendinitis is common and very treatable, and getting a medical diagnosis early can help you get proper treatment.  You can see your regular doctor or visit an orthopedist, who specializes in treating disorders such as tendinitis.  Your doctor will conduct a physical exam to check for signs of tendinitis and will also likely ask for a health history, including factors such as what type of activities you do. Your doctor will check for signs or signs of tendinitis once you've described your symptoms. Your doctor may be able to diagnose tendinitis with a simple examination instead of ordering more in-depth tests. One common way of diagnosing tendinitis is palpation, where your doctor uses her hands and fingers to feel the affected areas carefully.  Your doctor may check for swelling along the tendon or in the corresponding area.  She may check for thickening or increase in the size of your tendon.  Your doctor may look or feel for bony spurs along your elbow, shoulder, knee or heel.  Your doctor may feel along your tendon and ask you what the point of maximum tenderness is.  Your doctor may also test the range of motion. In particular, she'll see if you have a decreased ability to flex your joint. If your doctor suspects that you have tendinitis, she may order tests after conducting your physical exam. These tests can help confirm a diagnosis and help your doctor formulate a treatment plan. Your doctor may not be able to diagnose tendinitis through a simple examination with her hands. She may order that you get an X-ray or MRI to ensure your symptoms are a result of tendinitis. An MRI is more expensive than an X-ray, but may be more effective for diagnosing soft-tissue injuries such as tendinitis.  X-rays and MRIs make images of the inside of your joint and tendon areas and can make it easier for your doctor to identify not only if you have tendinitis, but also exactly where the affected area is. This can...


See your doctor. Fast before your appointment. Wait for your results.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your doctor will have to order the blood panel (lipid profile or lipoprotein profile) needed to test your LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels—the three components that combine to form a complete cholesterol reading.  LDL refers to low-density lipoprotein, and it is actually a combination reading of LDLs and VLDLs (very low-density lipoproteins). Over time, LDLs form a plaque buildup in your arteries, narrowing them and increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. They are often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. HDL refers to high-density lipoprotein. HDLs transport cholesterol in the bloodstream back to the liver and reduce the amount of cholesterol in your blood. This is why they are commonly called “good” cholesterol. Triglycerides are another form of fat molecule found in your blood that can contribute to the narrowing and hardening of your arteries. Like LDLs, high levels of triglycerides can increase your risk for cardiovascular diseases and complications. For an accurate reading of the various components, you'll need to fast for nine to twelve hours before you have blood drawn. This is because an accurate reading requires minimum values that haven't been elevated by a meal. You can still drink water the entire time before fasting. The lab will have to run the proper tests on your blood sample before returning the results. Your doctor will typically ask you to schedule a follow-up appointment a week after you've had your blood drawn to go over your results.


See your doctor. Follow instructions for treating your infection. Do everything you can to prevent the spread of STDs.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you suspect that you have a sexually transmitted disease, make an appointment with your doctor right away or visit a health clinic. Prompt treatment of STDs is crucial to help prevent long-term effects from disease and spreading it to others. When left untreated, some STDS can cause serious long-term health problems including hair loss, arthritis, infertility, birth defects, cancer, and rarely, even death. Some STDs can be treated with antibiotics while others cannot be cured at all. Regardless of your situation, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions for how to cure or manage your condition. If you receive a diagnosis for an STD, your doctor will advise you on your treatment options and give you information on how to avoid spreading your STD to other people.  Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to treat your condition or at least to lessen the severity of your symptoms. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, or herpes. However, there are treatments available to help mitigate symptoms. There are several ways to decrease your chances of contracting an STD infection. Make sure that you choose the method that works best with your lifestyle. The methods you can use to help prevent contraction of an STD include:   Abstain. The only sure way to ensure that you do not contract an STD is to abstain from oral, vaginal, and anal sex. Use protection. If you do engage in sexual activities, use a latex condom to minimize the possibility of contracting an STD. Be monogamous. One of the most reliable ways to avoid STDs is to be in a mutually monogamous relationship. Have an open conversation with any partner about whether they have been tested before engaging in any activities. Get vaccinated. For hepatitis B and HPV, you can be vaccinated. This helps ensure that you will not contract the diseases even if you do come into contact with them during sex. The hepatitis B vaccination is usually administer to infants at birth, but be sure to check. The HPV vaccination consists of 3-dose series...


See your doctor. Get tests and a diagnosis. Get treatment for IBD. Get surgery for IBD.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you discover any of the signs or symptoms of IBD and/or are at risk for the disease, see your doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis is important to help treat and manage the disease.  Your doctor may diagnose IBD only after she rules out other possible causes for your symptoms.  Your doctor may use a variety of tests to help diagnose IBD. If your doctor suspects that you have IBD, she may order tests after conducting your physical exam and ruling out other causes. These tests are the only way to confirm a diagnosis of IBD.  Your doctor may order a blood test to check for anemia, which is a common side effect of IBD. The blood tests may also determine if you have any signs of infection, bacteria, or viruses in your system.  Your doctor may order a stool sample called a fecal occult blood test that checks for hidden blood in your stool.  Your doctor may order an endoscopic procedure, such as a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy, to examine your intestines. In these procedures, a small camera is inserted into some portion of your gastrointestinal tract. If the doctor sees areas that are inflamed or abnormal, she will take biopsies. These are especially important in making the diagnosis.  Your doctor may also order an imaging procedure, such as an X-ray, CT scan, or and MRI. These will help your doctor examine the tissues of your gastrointestinal tract and see if there are any complications of IBD, such as a perforated colon. If your doctor confirms a diagnosis of IBD with tests, she will prescribe a course of treatment based the severity of the disease. There are many different treatment and management options for IBD.  Treatment for IBD revolves around reducing the inflammation that triggers the symptoms of the disease. There is no cure for IBD.  Treatment for IBD generally involves drug therapy or surgery; most people with Crohn’s Disease will have to have some surgery during their lifetime.  Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs such as aminosalicylates or corticosteroids, to help relieve IBD...


See your doctor. Undergo manipulation tests. Get an x-ray. Get an MRI. Be prepared for other imaging tests. Have an injection test. Get treated.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible. Only a doctor can determine if your symptoms are indeed being caused by degenerative joint disease of the lower back.  Your visit will likely include a physical examination and a review or your medical history. Your doctor may want to do blood tests to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms, such as infection. Sometimes, doctors must manipulate the body in order to diagnose a problem. Doctors use specific tests that have been designed to isolate certain joints. While these tests may be a bit uncomfortable, they should not cause any further damage to your joints. For example, the FABER test, which doctors perform by rotating the hip externally while the patient is lying supine, is excellent for identifying joint disease in the sacroiliac joint, which is located between the spine and the pelvis. One of the first tests your doctor will likely order is an x-ray. This can help reveal any abnormalities that involve the bone, including fractures or growths. Bone spurs are a common complication of degenerative joint disease, and these will be visible on an x-ray. However, keep in mind that degenerative changes on an x-ray do not automatically mean that your pain is because of these degenerative changes. Approximately 90 percent of people over the age of 64 have degenerative changes, which indicates that degenerative changes are a part of ageing. While x-rays are helpful for seeing what is happening with the bone, they do not show soft tissue. Your doctor may order an MRI in addition to or instead of an x-ray. This test will help reveal abnormalities in the discs and nerve roots.  While x-rays use radiation to produce images, MRIs use magnetic force. While x-rays and MRIs are the most common imaging tests used to diagnose lower back pain, there are a variety of other tests that your doctor may want to perform. Additional tests are particularly likely if your x-ray and/or MRI fail to reveal...


See your family physician. Get a referral to a specialist. Talk to your doctor about more powerful medications.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Despite efforts to avoid a DVT, if your leg (especially your calf) becomes swollen, red and tender to touch and it doesn't resolve itself within a few days, then make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will examine your leg and foot and ask questions about your family history, diet and recent travel routine. If female, your doctor might also ask if you're pregnant, recently gave birth, taking birth control pills or undergoing hormone replacement therapy because higher levels of estrogen can easily precipitate blood clotting.  The birth control pill is riskiest during the first year of use, although modern formulas tend to be much safer than their predecessors several decades ago. Your doctor may prescribe a blood thinner (anticoagulant) such as heparin if he/she suspects a DVT. Blood thinners decrease your blood's ability to clot, although they don't break up existing blood clots  Your family doctor is not a circulatory specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training. A circulatory specialist or vascular surgeon is trained to distinguish between all the potential vascular issues that can occur in the leg and elsewhere. There are a number of serious conditions that cause leg swelling and pain including diabetic neuropathy, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles), popliteal artery entrapment, bacterial infections and cellulitis.  Your specialist may use a diagnostic ultrasound to try to see clots in the upper leg, or a venography (x-ray with injected dye) to test for clots in the lower leg. Ultrasounds are compared over time to see if a clot has grown or reduced. The specialist may also conduct a D-dimer blood test to detect if a clot exists. D-dimer is a chemical that is produced when a clot gradually dissolves. If a DVT is detected, then your doctor may decide to give you stronger, more powerful drugs to stop the clot's progression and then to ultimately dissolve it. After...


See your family physician. Make an appointment with a chiropractor. Try a massage therapist.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If the home remedies don't help or alleviate your minor leg pain, then make an appointment with your doctor for an exam and potential blood tests. Your doctor will take an x-ray if they think the problem is caused by your leg bones or joints. Bone problems can include hairline (stress) fractures, infection, tumors or osteoporosis (brittle bones). Joint problems can include arthritis, infection or dislocations.  Your doctor will prescribe you antibiotics for any infections, stronger drugs if you're having trouble coping with arthritis or muscle relaxants for severe cramps. Your doctor can prescribe you medicine (or adjust your dosage) if chronic diabetes is the cause of your leg pain. Chiropractors are musculoskeletal specialists who focus on the health of the spine, but also peripheral joints and muscles of the arms and legs. Chiropractors can adjust or realign any joints of the low back, hip or leg that may be causing or contributing to your problem. They can also recommend specific exercises and stretches to alleviate your discomfort.  A chiropractor can rule out if a spinal disc problem or joint is causing issues in your leg. Spinal adjustments can be effective for sciatica relief and can sometimes reduce the need for surgery. Chiropractic adjustments often cause a clicking or cracking sound, which does not injure bones or joints. Considering that most minor leg pain is caused by muscle strain, tightness or overuse, it makes sense to see a muscle specialist such as a professional massage therapist. Massage therapy is beneficial for reducing muscle pain and tension, improving circulation and reducing stress.  Start with a 30-minute massage and ask the therapist to focus mainly on your leg, although some work on your buttocks and low back may be a good idea too. There are different styles and pressures of massage. Deep tissue massage is often effective for muscle strains and tightness, but you may prefer a gentler form such as Swedish technique.


See your optometrist about frequent headaches. Pay attention to how much you’re squinting. Assess your eyes' comfort at the end of the day. Discuss sudden changes in vision with a medical professional immediately. Replace damaged eyeglasses.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Many people’s vision slowly changes over time. Essentially, your eyes and brain will be straining to correct your vision if they need more assistance than your glasses provide, leading to fatigue and discomfort. As such, even slight changes in your vision can lead to headaches if you don’t keep your prescription up to date. If you notice a gradual increase in the frequency of headaches you experience, schedule an eye exam with your optometrist to determine whether your vision is the cause. You may not notice it at first, but another sign that you may be ready for stronger lenses is more frequent squinting.  If you do notice yourself squinting more often, go see your optometrist for a vision exam as soon as it is convenient to do so.  If you eyes and temples ache after using a computer or reading, you may have been squinting without even noticing. At first, you may notice yourself squinting more at night. The sooner you get it checked out the better. If the muscles around your eyes and other parts of your head feel sore at the end of the day, this can be another sign that you’re straining to see throughout the day. While fatigue of this sort can have many causes, you shouldn’t be experiencing it daily. If you are, get a vision exam from your optometrist soon. Other, unexpected areas of your body may also be strained by weakened eyesight. For instance, you might have neck or backaches from leaning over or inwards to see things better. There are a few signs that you should see your eye doctor as soon as possible. For instance, if your vision is suddenly or periodically blurry, or you have trouble focusing, call your optometrist's office and let them know what's going on. They may recommend an immediate exam, or even a visit to the emergency room.  Similarly, visual disturbances such as specific spots of obstructed vision or flashes of light require immediate attention as well. If your vision is gradually becoming blurry, it's time for an eye exam, but it is not cause for immediate concern. Even if you haven't...
