system: How do you treat ascites?
output: Your doctor may prescribe âwater pills,â also called diuretics, to help flush the extra fluid from your body. Two of the most common diuretics are: Furosemide ( Lasix) Spironolactone ( Aldactone) They both help your kidneys remove more sodium and water. If change in diet and prescription diuretics aren't effective, or your symptoms are severe, your doctor may have to use paracentesis to remove large amounts of excess fluid through a needle inserted into your abdomen. This procedure must be combined with a low-salt, low-liquid diet, otherwise the fluid will simply come back. If these treatments don't work, you may need a surgery to place a shunt in your liver or replace it altogether.

system: When should you talk to your doctor about the side effects of Tysabri for multiple sclerosis?
output: Talk with your doctor about these side effects and whether Tysabri would be a good option for you. Together you can weigh the risks and benefits and decide if you should take the drug.
system: What are serious side effects from Tysabri for multiple sclerosis?
output: After the FDA first approved Tysabri, the drug's manufacturer took it off the market due to reports of a rare but serious brain infection called PML (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy). The company introduced a program that requires everyone taking the medicine to register and to follow up every so often in order to find any possible cases of PML as soon as possible. With these safety programs in place, the drug went back on the market. Your risk for PML goes up with the number of doses you take. It's also higher for people who've taken drugs that turn down their immune systems before they use Tysabri. Because of this risk, doctors usually recommend Tysabri only for people who've tried other MS treatments that haven't worked.

system: How can you prevent a concussion by wearing a protective equipment?
output: By its very nature, a concussion is unexpected, so it is tough to prevent. But there are several common-sense precautions you can take to lessen the possibility of traumatic brain injury. Wear protective equipment. Participation in high-contact, high-risk sports such as football, hockey, boxing, and soccer can increase the likelihood of a concussion. Skateboarding, snowboarding, horseback riding, and roller blading are also a threat to your brain's health. Wearing headgear, padding, and mouth and eye guards can help safeguard against traumatic head injuries. Wearing a bike helmet can lower the risk of traumatic head injury by 85%. Ensure that the equipment is properly fitted, well maintained, and worn consistently.

output: There are some common physical, mental, and emotional symptoms a person may display following a concussion. Any of these could be a sign of traumatic brain injury: confusion or feeling dazed clumsiness slurred speech nausea or vomiting headache balance problems or dizziness blurred vision sensitivity to light sensitivity to noise sluggishness ringing in ears behavior or personality changes concentration difficulties memory loss Concussions are graded as mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), or severe (grade 3), depending on such factors as loss of consciousness, amnesia, and loss of equilibrium.
system: Should you seek medication attention about a concussion?
output: And what should you do if you have a concussion? Most people with concussions fully recover with appropriate treatment. But because a concussion can be serious, safeguarding yourself is important. Here are a few steps to take: Seek medical attention. A health care professional can decide how serious the concussion is and whether you require treatment. If you have suffered a grade 1 or grade 2 concussion, wait until symptoms are gone before returning to normal activities. That could take several minutes, hours, days, or even a week.
system: What is recovery like for a concussion?
output: A doctor will ask how the head injury happened and discuss the symptoms. Aspirin-free medications may be prescribed and you will be advised to take it easy. Experts recommend follow-up medical attention within 24 to 72 hours if symptoms worsen.
system: How long should you take a break after getting a concussion?
output: Here are a few steps to take: Seek medical attention. If you have sustained a grade 3 concussion, see a doctor immediately for observation and treatment. Definitely do not resume play the same day. Athletes and children should be closely monitored by coaches upon resuming play. If you resume play too soon, you risk a greater chance of having a second concussion, which can compound the damage. The American Academy of Neurology has issued guidelines about resuming activities after a concussion. By its very nature, a concussion is unexpected, so it is tough to prevent.
system: How effective is a cervical cap in preventing pregnancy?
output: Estimates vary, but the CDC says that of 100 women who use the cap, about 12 will accidentally get pregnant in a typical year. It's less effective if you've had a baby by vaginal birth. And you need to follow the instructions exactly for it to work right.
system: How do I use a cervical cap?
output: The woman coats the inside of the cap with spermicide, and inserts it into her vagina and up to her cervix before sex. The cap blocks the cervix and the spermicide kills the sperm. You must keep the cap in place for at least 6 hours after sex. During that time, if you have sex again, you don't need to reapply the spermicide. But you should check that the cap is still in place. The woman uses her fingers to take the cap out. It's important to do that within 48 hours (2 days) after having sex. If you leave it in, there's a chance you could get a staph infection that gets out of control and becomes toxic shock syndrome, which needs immediate medical care.
system: Where do I get a cervical cap?
output: But you should check that the cap is still in place. It's important to do that within 48 hours (2 days) after having sex. And you need to follow the instructions exactly for it to work right.
system: What is a cervical cap?
output: It fits snugly over the cervix (where the uterus opens into the vagina). It's designed to block sperm from reaching the woman's egg. That's why it's called a âbarrierâ method of birth control. The woman uses her fingers to take the cap out.
system: What causes a kidney cyst?
output: One or more may form within the kidneys. The size of these cysts may also increase with age and may double over 10 years. Simple kidney cysts usually do not cause symptoms.
