my husband foreskin is stuck after he pulled it back while urinating what can be done for the pain | hello it looks like your husband is suffering from a condition called phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head or glans of the penis now this can happen due to a number of reasons and can be diagnosed only after examination this usually happens when one does not clean under the foreskin can lead to bacteria fungus or other germs accumulating there when this happens for some time it can lead to balanitis inflammation of the glans or the head of the penis has this happened before tight shiny skin on the glans redness around the glans itchiness or irritation of the glans an unpleasant smell tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back etc when this happens it can lead to phimosis after examination only I will be able to diagnose whether it is balanitis or phimosis and whether this is due to bacteria or fungus or some other cause the treatment varies depending on the findings therefore if the pain is severe it would be best to take him to a urologist and get it examined on the other hand if the penis is red and swollen you should take him to the emergency room if you want I can give you a cream for the pain but if there is infection there is a chance it will become worse I understand there is lockdown but if the pain is not too severe you can wait until lockdown is lifted let me know what you decide and any other queries you may have | hi doctor my husband is having pain in penis head the foreskin got backwards and now it not coming back to original form and not covering head of penis yesterday when my husband was urinating he tried pulling foreskin and it went backwards after that it not coming to front before also he was not able to pull it backwards so while having sex and wearing condom there was no problem once when we had unprotected sex his foreskin went backwards and he was in pain the foreskin was coming forward he is in pain what can be done is it normal or not we had sex a month ago with precaution | medium severity |

I have recurrent epistaxis with bruxism and etd could it be due to sinusitis | hello welcome to icliniq com you have recurrent epistaxis and you have been cauterized also a number of times there does not seem to be any obvious pathology on examination by endoscopy I must point out that epistaxis can be idiopathic in more than 50 patients this is because certain patients tend to have nasal mucosa far more friable than others and susceptible to even most trivial trauma like nose picking or forceful blowing even minor colds can cause epistaxis however one has to be careful to rule out other causes hypertension is an important cause but that is usually an affliction of elderly at your age one would like to rule out bleeding diathesis did you ever have bleeding from any other site have you done a coagulation profile though you have mentioned blood tests what about liver and renal function tests are you on any medication other than this further deviated nasal septum with spurs can cause epistaxis did mri mention anything like that in case there is nothing to suggest any underlying cause it is likely to be idiopathic and role of precautions become all that necessary one important thing is to prevent your nose from becoming dry as occurs in dry weather and colds you can use liquid paraffin nasal drops to prevent mucosa from becoming dry and friable further you need to avoid blowing hard or frequent cleaning of nose you can also use topical decongestant like xylometazoline 02 if you develop a bleed avoid using them for more than seven days at stretch you can go for a it computed tomography nose and pins para nasal sinus for having a better information on sinus details | hi doctor I currently have recurrent epistaxis this has started since four years on a yearly basis to a daily basis since six months I have been seeing an ent consultant but due to couid 19 I am unable to see him until august I had recent blood tests and mri which came back all clear I had an endoscopic examination that said there was some crusting on the left side and rest all fine believing it is posterior and not anterior epistaxis this is affecting the quality of my life I have also developed bruxism and end with blocked ears now and then I have also got gingivitis as well no hayfever or allergies I am aware of I have had suspected sinusitis but this was not confirmed but every day I have a watery eye especially on the right eye | medium severity |

will medications for gout interfere with values of liver function test | hi I have seen your blood works it is all normal usually during the acute attack of gout we do not start allopurinol or uric acid decreasing medications as it can exaggerate the situation we usually start after the acute situation is treated with drugs like nsaids non asteroidal anti inflammatory drugs allopurinol is started with caution if there is liver disease kidney disease diabetes congestive heart failure and high blood pressure are you pregnant or breastfeeding are you receiving chemotherapy drugs allopurinol can decrease the number of blood cells in your body that causes blood clot and that help you fight infections which can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick when exposed to others who are ill it can increase liver enzymes to decrease the blood elements but I have seen your blood works and it is fine if someone has kidney stones due to increased uric acid or recurrent gout episodes or uric acid deposition on soft tissues that is the time usually allopurinol is started and continued I think you do not have these problems you need to decrease your protein intake like less meats fish lentils eggs and avoid diuretics which are used to treat high blood pressure alcohol intake to be reduced as well you told your hba1c glycated hemoglobin is 7 that is pre diabetes or borderline diabetes so better check your fasting sugar and sugar after two hours of eating you need to do exercise even if it is just walking for one hour daily stop or reduce carbohydrates especially sugar in tea and sugary juices bread rice pasta and potatoes intermittent fasting can also help in decreasing weight and controlling sugar lifestyle modifications can help a lot in your case have you done any ultrasound abdomen | hi doctor I would like to know what does my lab tells you about my current liver function I began to struggle with daily gout pain a few months ago and finally gave in to taking the traditional drugs about one and a half months ago both allopurinol and probenecid caused worrisome impacts on my body I began to experience flank pain confused thinking and fatigue around this time I was also compelled to have my arc checked because I was struggling with headaches insomnia and various degrees of itching after eating my arc turned out to be 7 I stopped taking the drugs and did a lot of research and was fortunate to find some supplements that seem to be effective at the intersection of both metabolic syndrome and gout presently I have found that berine approximately 100mg day works gout pain is essentially gone and blood sugar seems to be coming under control with each day though my caloric intake in unsustainable low admittedly I have taken some hesperidin ala chromium nac ecgc nigella sativa oil or triple strength turmeric occasionally if I was having a momentary concern not all at once or even all in a day but occasionally my concern is for my ongoing liver function though things seem to be getting better as the day goes on and I have taken some supplements I will start to feel pressure in the middle of my back kidney area and left flank discomfort it tends to have gone away by the time I wake up in the morning on looking at my labs the markers for liver function have fluctuated but my primary care doctor never made mention of them is there anything you can tell me about what the changes in these ratios say | medium severity |

I have a small palpable swelling under the right side of my jaw please help | hi you have assessed the condition in the best manner any patient could do so considering the problem out there like you have rightly put it looks like we are dealing with an infected gland sialolith or a traumatised duct in all three cases I suggest you to follow the advice mentioned below hydration is the key keep drinking to litres of boiled warm water every day whether your thirsty or not salt water gargles to 10 times a day for month will definetely go a long way you can consider antibiotic clindamycin 300 my three times a day for days this antibiotic has the property of getting excreted majorly through the alive and majorly reaches the salivary glands a shade more than other antibiotics please eat on time spicy oily and junk food have to be avoided at all times for the next one month an ultrasound of the glands is definitely mandatory to see if there is any impacted stone parenchymal issue etc but to be done only once the pandemic subsides considering that you should not be going to hospital for risk of acquiring an infection this will take a while for it to subside but chiefly depends on how much you happen to follow the above advice hope this helps get well soon | ten days ago I was eating some soup when some got under my tongue and I felt a sudden sour twang through the right side of my mouth and jaw it gradually subsided in intensity and I examined the inside of my mouth for any tender areas or asymmetries under my tongue there was a very slight swelling of my submandibular duct on the right side but no tenderness or anything strange palpable later that night I was eating some chips when I noticed rapidly increasing discomfort in my right jaw earache and pain when swallowing I felt my throat and discovered a golfball sized swelling under my right jaw on the advice of my father who said it sounded like a blocked salivary gland and said he recently had one as well I used warm salt rinses and external warm compresses within a short period of time the swelling reduced by about half and with repeated rinses gradually reduced over the next day until it was minimal since then I have still had a palpable asymmetry when feeling both sides of my jaw and my submandibular gland has not returned to its ordinary size last night I felt discomfort in that area and realized on examination that it was beginning to swell again I quickly used more salt rinses and a compress and the swelling stopped but it remains a bit more enlarged than it has been over the past few days this morning it seems to be fluctuating slightly in size but I hit it with more salt rinses and compresses and it appears to be stable for now though with a slight referred earache the submandibular duct has not seemed particularly swollen since shortly after the first day of symptoms when I noticed a small white spot forming at the head of the duct which disappeared shortly after using salt rinses I infer that this may have been a very small salivary stone pushing its way out I have been eating and drinking somewhat infrequently for the past few weeks due to a major housing disruption that has only recently been resolved so it is my hope that due to a combination of dehydration and infrequent stimulation of the salivary glands I may simply have developed some small salivary stones that could resolve on their own if I am diligent with salt rinses and compresses at no point have I had any sort of fever or foul taste in the mouth nor any symptoms in any other salivary gland besides my right submandibular gland I also recall eating some hard sharp food 10 days ago that had cut my gums here and there through miscalculated bites so it also seems possible that I traumatized the duct at that time although it is strange to me that swelling would be recurring now after relative reduction of symptoms for over a week though as I noted the gland has never fully returned to a non palpable size even at its best I suppose it must sound like I have self assessed the situation reasonably well but due to the recent resurgence of symptoms which I confess may be due to getting lax with salt rinses or proper hydration I just wanted to seek some qualified medical advice as to whether I am doing the right things so far and at what point I should seek treatment if it does not completely subside the only local ent is not available by referral for 10 months so my only alternative would be to go to the er for assessment or attempt to find a general practitioner in the area we just moved here so we had to leave our old go behind both options are bad for exposure given the current pandemic and my wife is a very high risk individual so I am doing my best to limit exposure unless I cannot help it thank you for listening and for any advice you can lend | medium severity |
