Tender & sore nipples, sickness are suggestive of pregnancy. Specially after having unprotected sex after normal period. If it was around ovulation. . Day. (Ovulation day is 14 days before the expected date of menses)But Such symptoms are seen in hormonal imbalance too. So though your symptoms suggest pregnancy but needs to be confirmed by urine pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods. Thanks. ### END

I have a dull ache there most of the time and cannot do things like riding a bike without extreme pain that radiates to my abdomen. However, every 6-12 months after having lots of sex (wife, no STD) the pain gets worse and i feel nauseous all the time. Is this caused by an infection in the cyst? ### REPLY: Hi welcome to forum. Thanks for asking a question to . F. You had a cyst on the epididymis of around 3 cm size. It has continuous dull pain, especially in movement. Pain is horrible and vomiting feeling after sex. The cyst appears to be attached to the epididymis, and the pull is felt up to the abdomen through the cord. Sex is expected to be vigorous, so it shows more pull and nausea. As it appears to be fixed, better consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have surgery for pain relief. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards. ### END

On 16th day i had 18mm follicle in my left ovary.i took ChatDoctor on 17th day and IUI on 18th day. And was told to have intercourse on 19th and 20th day. today is my 19th day.I had intercourse yesterday. Will i have my egg still active should i have intercourse today? ### REPLY: Hallow dear, I have understood your concern. Usually the follicle is mature to release healthy egg at 18 mm size. In. was given to you when the follicle was 18 mm size. So it was well the timed. The egg is released usually within 24 hours of injection. Hence, immediately on the next day, very rightly GUI was performed. Now daily intercourse for two days after that is advised for additional coverage, in case the egg is released late. After the ovulation life of an egg is 24 hours. So any intercourse after that may not be of use from fertility angle. Continuation of ultrasonography for confirmation of ovulation might have been useful to decide how long daily or alternate days' intercourse is to be continued. However, there is no harm in continuing daily intercourse even otherwise also. I hope I have clarified your doubts. This information may be useful to you if needed (which I wish should not be required) for future cycles. ### END

If yes what should be his best treatments.If not then what is his survival rate?His age is 57 and his weight is 62kg. ### REPLY: With this information it is impossible to answer your questions. Where is the metastatic cancer and where did it start from. These are the 2 main factors that will determine his outcome. Yes, it is the last stage technically, but in certain cancers, the patient can survive for years with proper treatment. e.g. prostate cancer patients can live as long as 5 years in the last stage. The treatment also depends on the primary site but is mostly based on chemotherapy. ### END

I started having severe pain near my right ovary . She did a physical exam and she thought I might have a cyst . The ultrasound showed no cyst so they took my blood to check for white blood cell count in case I may have appendicitis . I m not ovulating and I am not on my period. Do you have any ideas? Let me know. Very concerned. ### REPLY: Hi!thanks for posting a question on health care. Well, as far as pain near right ovary is concerned, it is the pain in right inguinal area. There are multiple possibilities for the pain in right lower abdomen. These could be:1.-a ureter calculus,2-appendicitis, 3-a ovarian cyst,4- nephritis (swelling in the fallopian tube.). A thorough ultrasound scan and blood cell count will help you out to decide about the further action plan. Hope this answer will help you in deciding about treatment. You are most welcome any time for any question. ### END

Somtimes he complains about pain in his leg (left leg currently) and he can t straigten his leg and can t walk properly. It happened twice in last six months and we went to doctors including sepcialists but after all the tests they didn t find anything. This morning he complained again and we also noticed little swelling around his kee. It goes by it self sometimes in few hours and sometimes in couple of days. We are very worried and want to know how should we go about it. ### REPLY: Hi, Is the overlying skin hot/red? A sudden onset of pain and swelling over knees along with limping and difficulty in straightening indicates acute arthritis. Kindly take him to doctor, as this need immediate evaluation to rule out septic arthritis (bacterial infection of the joint cavity) which needs rapid treatment with antibiotics. If the same features are recurring, we need to evaluate for causes of recurrent arthritis. Since I am not aware of previous investigations done, your pediatrician will guide you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. ### END

I have no clue what this could be ### REPLY: Hello. Thank you for asking on . I read your query and understand your concern. Now, the description of the heartburn you provided, is with the highest probability from the stomach, as the origin. This symptom is called paresis, and is produced when the highly acid content of the stomach is returned to esophagus or, sometimes, throat and mouth. This can happen from various reasons, mostly from a disbalance between acid-producing and acid-inhibiting factors in the stomach and from the lower esophageal sphincter insufficiency. Without digging further more into theoretical details, I would suggest you to refrain from certain food and beverages that favor acid production and/or inhibit acid-inhibiting factors and/or lower the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter:- alcohol and tobacco-chocolate- tea, coffee (Anthony derivatives)- spicy and grilled food, and pickles would also recommend you to start a course with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI): omeprazole 20 mg x 2 tb/d for the first two weeks, then 20 mg x 1 tb/d for four other weeks, and accompanied by risperidone x 3 tb/d. Also, you should not lie down, but sit up or stand, for at least 90 minutes after you have had your last meal. If the symptom persists after all these measures are undertaken, I would recommend an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, for further investigation. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Best regards. ### END

Not tooth pain, but seems a pain of inflammation/throbbing. What could it be and should I see a doctor or dentist? ### REPLY: Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Every symptom that you have mentioned here are due to single cause, the infected last molars or wisdom teeth. Please see your dentist soon. Get the x-rays done and starts with antibiotics upon consultation. Next step is to take antibiotics and get the extraction done. This will solve all your worries and present symptoms. For now please take tablet Coquitlam every eight hourly, for immediate relief until you see your dentist. Follow good oral hygiene measures and do take good care of yourself. Let me know for further doubts. Thanks. ### END

What cough syrup should i give him. He is doing all his daily activities well with no intereference due to his cough. ### REPLY: Hi, Mujumdar, Thanks for query, It seems that your child is having allergic bronchitis so may remain for long time. You can continue any good cough syrup. I would suggest you to go for blood report for Eosinophilic as this condition can prolong cough and cold for long time. If there is high eosinophilic count then go for simple course of Di ethyl carbamide medicine after consulting your doctor. Avoid giving cold . Ok and bye. ### END

It all started when my tooth was damaged through a basic root canal treatment. I was referred to a specialist and 9 months later I was told it would have to be extracted, meanwhile I had faced a number of infections and 2 courses of antibiotics. At the time of the extraction the root was infected. After the extraction, dissolvable stitches were put in place as I was flying overseas and the sinus was exposed. Now, 4 weeks later, my dossolvable stitches are still in place and seem to be surrounded by a white gooey substance. When I touch with a Q tip the white substance moves about, attached to the stitches and is adding to some slight irritation of that area. Is this normal? Thanks! ### REPLY: Hellooo...read through your query....I must say that as far as u don't have any pain or problem with that area its healing normally....if any pain is there then u should suspect something abnormal...the stitch will resort in few weeks along with the socket.so don't worry .yellowish thing will be the clot and other cells working for healing....and I must say that don't touch that area with anything(brush, finger,pin, toothpick etc.).your hampering the healing process...don't bite that with that area... . .don't spit hard...it can dislodge clot and hamper healing...do salt water gargle as many times as possible.....follow all this and be happy...stress-free and cool that can heal anything...hope your benefitted something with this reply.have a healthy day!!! ### END

Both my husband and i were treated with the 4 pill dose of antibiotics to kill this std. i was instructed to not have sex for 10 days however on the morning of the 8th day we had sex. Do you think there was enough time in that seven days for the treatment to have fully worked? or should i be worried about reinfection? ### REPLY: Hi, I understand your concern. You were advised to follow abstinence for 10 days following treatment for trichomoniasis. This was to ensure complete irradiation of the Richmond from both partners systems. Incomplete recovery in either of parents leads to reinfection. Many a times second course is needed for full recovery. You're having a short period of abstinence, there remains a possibility of reinfection. You can use a course Vaginal pessaries to avoid it. In case you still have the symptoms visit your doctor for further management. Thanks. ### END

As you mentioned of facing issue with shoulder pain, neck pain, balance issues etc. I will recommend first to take the detailed clinical assessment. Based on this we can understand as what MRI needs to be performed. But on a safer side taking and MRI of the cervical spine and brain in contrast will make some insight. The pain in the neck and shoulder - this looks more of the Neuromuscular issue. Like if there is any pinch of the nerve root in the cervical spine then there is a possibility of the radiating symptoms and pain. For which physical therapy is a choice to get solution for. Evidence of research has a good support. For the balance issue - it should be assessed in detail as this can occur due to two issues. One any vestibular related issue or any cerebellar related issue. Understanding the proper clinical examination and the MRI should help assist further by which the help can be initiated. For anything more you can surely ask me I will be happy to assist you.

I went years ago , to an oral surgeon who said it was very close to a facial nerve and i should put hot packs on my jaw. the pain went away but now its back, I have been putting hot packs, on my jaw, i see the dentist this week. im very nervous i dont want my face or jaw, or mouth to be numb what should i do? ### REPLY: Hi Dear, Welcome to . Understanding your concern. Thanks for your query. This is very common condition when impacted tooth presses a nerve. This is the reason for pain. You should continue giving hot packs. Such impacted tooth should be removed otherwise they keep troubling you with on and off pain episodes. It requires very skillful and experienced oral surgeon as there is involvement of nerve. I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon (as there is already an appointment) for proper evaluation of condition. Doctor may take X-ray or CT scan to access the position of the tooth and may perform surgery under local anesthesia to remove the impacted tooth. For pain ibuprofen(if not allergic) or acetaminophen and do warm saline rinses. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, ### END

She s had them off and on since (she is now 20), but now she finds that she also has intermittent swelling and tenderness in her armpit areas. What should be done? ### REPLY: Hi, Thanks for your query. Lump in this location can be enlarged lymph node, infected sebaceous cyst or ganglion cyst. Lymph node is usually movable and rounded. It is not quite soft, rather hard. Can be painful. Infected sebaceous cyst is a kind of benign soft tissues lesion. It tends to get infected. In such situation it becomes reddish, swollen and painful. Fever can be present as well. Ganglion cyst is connected with a joint (shoulder in this case) and filled with joint fluid. Pain is characteristic for this lesion especially when moving the limb. I suggest you to consult general surgeon with these issues. Soft tissues' ultrasound should be done to diagnose it. Cyst or ganglion can be removed. If it's a lymph node, biopsy should be done. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care ### END

The mean dimensions of the kidneys upon maturation are: length-about 12 cm, breadth-about 6 cm and thickness-about 3 cm. The weight of one kidney averages about 120-150 g. Any decrease in size is abnormal. Prominence of the pelvocalyceal system means that maybe because of distal blocking (probably due to a stone)there is collection in the pelvocalyceal system and hence the CT scan of the kidney, ureters and bladder is suggested. This is a more precise form of investigation. The urine forms in the kidneys and flows into the bladder through the ureters. Any blockage in the ureters will cause accumulation of urine in the kidneys. Hope this helps you. ### END

Pl help ### REPLY: Hi Jimmy, I hope that your Doctor has ruled out male infertility. Whileyou are taking these Medicines, you must be doing test for ovulation to see the effects of these Medicines on your Ovulation. There are certain ways to confirm ovulation like trans-vaginal Follicular study, Home Ovulation test, and hormonal levels in your blood, besides some simple method like BBT, Cervical Mucus test. If you are ovulating with these medicines, and still not able to become pregnant in 3-4 months time, then you should go for further tests for tubal patency test, uterine factors, immunological factors, and so on. For infertility, you must go step wise approach and proper follow up. You should be knowledgeable about the management you are going through, and talk to the Doctor frankly. One positive point, i would like to tell you is that, it is easy to treat infertility if it is due to ovulation dysfunction. Best of luck. Best of luck. ### END

I understand your concern. For headache and fever - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For nausea - Tablet Ondansetron 4 mg thrice a day 30 minutes before food. But Ondansetron is a prescription medicine, and you will need one for it. Regards - ### END

I had an ultrasound done last Tuesday, and followed up on Friday. The doctor told me that the sonographer found a predominant left ventricle. She then said its not larger or protruding, it is only assymetrical, so she is referring us to a specialist. That appointment is not until November 3rd. She said everything was probably fine and not to worry. But naturally. as a first time mother and a pediatric occuoational therapist by trade, I am worried. ### REPLY: Hello In fetus right ventricle is the prominent ventricle. An experienced fetal monologist or echocardiography can detect the defect. If left ventricle is enlarged it is an abnormal finding. Many a times' sonographer assessment is not accurate. Conditions like single ventricle or persistent trucks can cause dilated left ventricle. So I would suggest you to consult an expert for the proper evaluation. Regards ### END

It moves as nd is painful, the pain burns and radiates to my shoulder. My doctor checked my lymph nodes and said they were normal, thinks i strained my neck and shoulder. Sending me to chiropractor. Is that the right course of action? ### REPLY: Hello, It could be soft tissue swelling. You should not go to a chiropractor before making a diagnosis. You can go for an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. A fine needle biopsy may be required in case of diagnostic confusion. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. ### END

Now its almost 10years I am not pregnant. IUI, polycystic, harmones level is being checked. But still no positive. Request to help/guide me. ### REPLY: Hi Museum, From you history I gather that all your investigations are normal. Except for removal of left fallopian tube. Your other risk factor is age of 38 yrs. Tubal pregnancy is due to some sort of damage to inside of tube, may be infection or surgery etc. Usually if one tube is damaged by infection, other one also s at risk of damage, you never get cold in one nostril !! So no matter what you do, GUI or injections Sperm & egg may not be meeting at all. Keeping history of failed treatments, History of tubal damage & most important age of 38 yrs, I would advise you to try IVF. Once you reach 40 yrs, your ovaries will not have healthy eggs enough to have pregnancy. In IVF tube is not needed & pregnancy chances are high. It is costlier than other methods but has definitely higher pregnancy chances. Hope I have clarified your overall the best . ### END

After 4 weeks I noticed a swelling which has subsequently got to the size of my hand and gets bigger by night. It throbs intermittently a few times an hour. My incision itself looks good. I have a lot of pressure (new) on my bladder. It feels like when I was pregnant and the babys head was going down into the birth canal. I have backache like pyelonephritis on and off, and I have heat running through my body, sweating on the back of my neck yest cold and clammy on my forehead. Yet no high temp on the thermometer. I am so uncomfortable that I can only manage to be out and about for a couple of hours at a time. Im normally a workaholic but cant bear the thought of going to work as a nurse. I have had 5 previous abdominal surgeries prior to this. What can all this mean? ### REPLY: Hello, Thanks for the query to . Forum. Swelling is there about the size of hand, but where it is ? 2nd swelling is there at the hand ? So please exact the site where swelling developed. Also write down the type of cancer (benign or malignant) in kidney (squamous or columnar or other type). Pain behind neck and in pelvic region may be due to metastasis ( from renal carcinoma). Also mention the type of surgery performed five times for evaluation of diagnosis. Cold, clammy forehead is not due to any particular disease, but due to tension (stress) through which going. Still I will advise you please consult an Oncologist and C T scan as well M R I are very important for you. Good luck. ### END

I suggest you not to worry much. The details are not enough. I think your version of the details are not enough to have a proper diagnosis. He uses marijuana in itself is enough to create euphoria and mood swings and depression. There may not be any paranoid ideation or dual personality or schizophrenia. Talk to him over dinner about these happenings and you might get a clear answers. Maybe he is also troubled as you are and searching for answers about your behavior? Talk to him in peace.

As prescribed by doctor she has undergone an MRI cervical spine where the findings are as under: Mild posterior protrusion of C4-C5, C5-C6, & C6-C7 discs causing mild thecal cmpression but no remarkable spinal or neural foraminal stenosis As prescribed by docttor she is undergoing traction for the last week but still the pain does not seem to reduce.. She gets relief when she is sleeping or applyting hot pad . Request you to please suggest ### REPLY: Hi Amiga, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, I would suggest that you should continue physiotherapy and traction as advice by your doctor. You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice a day after meals along with muscle relaxant chloraxazone along with an antacid. Doing hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel on the neck will give some relief to the symptoms. Also, donor use a very thick pillow. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks. ### END

Started out as one but over the last two years it became three and now two are marble sized and one is oblong and about the size of a walnut. I also noticed that now below my Left knee there is a larger oblong area that protrudes noticeably...even more than on the Right leg. Very noticeable. No pain or tenderness. Is this a cause for concern or should I just keep an eye on it. ### REPLY: Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Painless movable lump around your left knee could be either Meniscal cyst or Sebaceous cyst or Bakers cyst. Meniscal cyst may result from trauma, hemorrhage, chronic infection, and mucoid degeneration. The most widely accepted theory describes meniscal cysts resulting from extrusion of synovial fluid through a peripherally extended horizontal meniscal tear, accumulating outside the joint capsule. They arise more commonly from the lateral joint margin, and occur most often in 20 to 40-year-old males. Sebaceous cysts originate from sebaceous glands in skin and contain sebum. Bakers cyst: A swelling or cyst at the back of the knee which is usually associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Regards ### END

I have ADD, ADHD and epilepsy in case that has anything to do with it ### REPLY: Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I think this is a new development for you. With anxiety disorders, such fear is common. Anxiety disorder patients slowly develop irritation towards noises and in due course the irritation makes them obsessive towards noises. Some specific noise irritation takes up center stage of the obsession, and they feel such noises. There is nothing to worry. This will be there for some months and slowly disappear.

I dont know how to handle him anymore and need to know what to do to help. ### REPLY: Thank you for writing to ! From your question it looks that your husband has a psychotic illness, he is on separate sprinkles and risperidone 3 mg but still has auspiciousness and talks out of context. Dosage of separate is not mentioned. From my clinical experience I can say that either the dosage of the medicine is low or maybe he is not taking it regularly. So, if you are sure of compliance, it will be very helpful to increase TH dose of risperidone to 4 mg - 6 mg in a day. Along with it, I have seen clonazepam 0.5-1 mg effective in case when patient is difficult to manage /gets very angry/unable to sleep, on as and when required basis. It is advisable to get sodium valproate levels done, to ensure that the sprinkles are providing adequate among of . Please donor loose hope, it is not at all difficult to manage such cases, what is needed is dose adjustment and make sure he takes the medicine daily, and he will start behaving normally once again. You have said that your husband developed this illness after he was given date rape ### END

It is a constant hurt but more intense when I move, talk till give out of breath, bending over, turning head to left or right. This has been going on for several hours now. What could it be? ### REPLY: Thanks for your question on . I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, your upper left sided chest pain is mostly due to muscular cause but better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Muscular pain appears more in your case. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Also avoid movements causing pain. 4. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don't worry, you will be alright. ### END

I have been through your question and understand your concern. Frontal lobe atrophic or shrinkage is quite common after the sixth decade while less common before. It is generally a benign situation, but unfortunately it is progressive and there is no treatment to prevent or treat this condition. Generally this is associated with cognitive impairment but not always. You should have radiologic follow up to monitor this condition. Hope this helps. Best regards ### END

Like choking and waking up , feeling of heat attack or vibrations starts in my body and then when i wake up and sit down it vanishes.. These things really doesn t allow me to go off to sleep but once i go off to sleep nothing bothers.. These episodes doesn t happen every time it happens mostly when im tensed or worried the entire day .. In 2012 i had some severe vibrations starting from my back and then every where including my head whenevr i try to fall asleep .. It lasted for 4 days..thn I visited a neurologist he gave me. Etizolam and revotril .. Asked me to take those med for 3 months but made me very slow and Sleepy that after a week i left them and fortunately i didnt experience any kind of trouble for a year .. On and off the episode happened after a year but not that often.. But now for past few months im constantly worrying about something and these things hs started again from last 8-10 days Whenever im falling asleep vibrations and twitching in my body starts and doesn t allow me to sleep .. I started etizolam .25 mg again for 3-4 days i didnt experience any thing but last nite i had the med around 1 and slept aroun 3 but couldn t sleep as i had some thoughts n my mind and then the vibrations started .. Please let me know the cure and is this any kind of disease im suffering from? Thank u ### REPLY: Holloway you are describing seem to be panic attacks that feel like bouts of anxiety, palpitation, breathlessness and a fear that something bad is going to happen. The anticipation of these attacks causes further anxiety. If these attacks are very distressing I would advise you to start a SSRI preferably Paroxetine (Part CR 12.5 mg) at bedtime and continue it for at least 6 months. It can be increased further with a psychiatrist advice. You should not take Mizoram unsupervised for so long. Also get one ECG and TSH done to rule out any other physical cause of anxiety. Hope your query is satisfied. ### END

The area should be cleaned with an antiseptic solution and topical antibiotics applied. She may need to have it reviewed by her doctor at intervals to make sure that it is healing well.

The bump is symmetrical and round. When it is healing it appears to have an indention in the skin (like a little skin is missing). It may start to dry up and appear to heal, but then the itching starts again and the whole cycle repeats. Topical steroids are less effective for itch than triple antibiotic oint. I am desperate and have even switched from goats milk soap to pine tar soap. I have allergies/ asthma . I take allergy shots, but these areas are not hives . The only secretions that come from these bumps are blood (or clear fluid). If they ever do manage to heal, my skin is left scarred. ### REPLY: Hello, It does appear that you may have eczema, although they are not intensely itchy. I hope these have not happened after the allergy shots in which case you need to get the concentration and content of the shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy, I suppose) reviewed by your Allergist. Long-acting antihistamines are recommended as a trial in the first instance. If you wish to exclude a fungal infection, a skin scraping needs to be taken and KOH preparation under Woods lamp will reveal this. However, this is unlikely. I was not sure what you meant with the soap, but soaps are not recommended in . ### END

Wouldnt the echo have shown something if there really was a problem. I really hate doing these things unnecessarily. ### REPLY: Hi, If you there are a suspicion of high blood pressure, then we perform ECG, echocardiography, some obligatory blood tests to rule out other organ problems which could cause high blood pressure. We measure blood pressure at the hospital, but in the majority of cases it is not enough, and we need to know how the patients blood pressure behaves during the day, to decide out strategy of patient management.

Welcome to . I am . I understand your concern. This is difficult to comment without clinical and laboratory testing. However, dengue presents with fever, malaise, eye pains, bleeding manifestations.

Malaria antigen3. Dengue serology.Don't take any painkillers except Paracetamol for fever. This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.

Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your health issues submitted in your query. I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them. Based on the facts of your query the reply of your query is-Your current health issues seem to be due to -the Cold aggravating your asthma with accompanied bronchitis. This would create more problems like the one -straining of neck muscles and chest muscles from repeated coughing and asthma causing dyspnea. The neck soreness is thus from strained neck and with accompanied? Viral Myalgic, which would recover with time and treatment of Asthma by -Antibiotics/ Bronchodilators/ Plenty of fluids and proper bronchial . This is therefore more alarming condition and situation needs to be dealt by urgent Consultation with Chest Physician for ruling out TB / and other causes for this. The fact that hot showers and massage helps in relieving is more rewarding as this Myositis from Strain would resolve with Pain killers and NSAIDs supplements for few days timeTherefore Cause of these complaints in your case needs to be investigated by Chest X-ray and by blood tests and if need be by CT Chest.

My Dr prescribed Fertodim-50 and said I should take it on day 2 of my cycle for 5 days. My cycle is 25-28 days. I took it this month and started intercourse on the 9th day according to my Dr and fertility calculator. We had sex for 3 consecutive days. Should we have proceeded after the 3rd day and how exactly should I be taking the pill if I m not pregnant ? ### REPLY: Hallow Dear, Fatimid pills are the tablets of Camphene citrate. I would have appreciated had you taken some more scientific steps as described below:1. From day 9 onwards, subject yourself for the ovulation monitoring by ultrasonography. Usually the egg is released when the follicle attains the size of 18 mm to 21 mm. So you can plan your sexual relations accordingly. Ultrasonography also will provide an evidence of egg release. 2. Some prefer to give In. when the follicle is matured to have guaranteed and planned egg release. So from a couple of days before that to few days after injection, sexual contacts are advisable. 3. Camphene citrate should not be taken for more than 6 cycles. If it does not result into pregnancy, you may have to change over to HMG/ combination for induction of ovulation. If all these fail, you may have to go for Artificial Reproduction Technique. I hope this provides you brief and still apt guidelines. ### END

He has given medicines for 1 month. but still my father is finding pain in his left chest ### REPLY: Hi thanks for asking question. Usually with chest pain we think about ischemic heart disease, and we do ECG for it. Your ECG is normal so HD chance are less. Second this could be because of musculoskeletal pain. Heavy exercise, heavyweight lift or improper bed posture can be the cause. Simple analgesic and hot compress helpful for that. Prolong acid reflux also lead to such pain. Omeprazole taken for it. Here you have symptoms since 1 month so better to rule out respiratory cause by doing chest x-ray if coughed, fever also present. Take enough rest. I hope my suggestion will help you ### END

I recently just realized that when I cough I feel a slight pain for about a second in my left side of my head or near forehead. Ive read some stuff online saying that it can be a tumor is this true. It only hurts for a second that I cough and Im not sure how long its been going on. I just noticed it today. I have no other symptoms. ### REPLY: Hi there ~I understand your concerns. Having something unusual happen to you can be quite discomforting. I am glad you got an MRI brain done, and no tumor was detected. The clicking in the left part of your head might be due to a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) misalignment. A lot of people have this kind of issue. If you have not other symptoms other than this clicking and some pain which may be related to the TMJ issue, I advise you to not be too concerned about it. However, if the pain gets worse, please consult a doctor. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day! ### END

According to your symptoms, I think that you suffer from arthritis. Even though you have two different reports, they are basically the same thing, because the extra spine is an indicator of arthritis. Even though you have taken an X-ray, you should take some more, such as:- Fibrinogen test-ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)- neck CT-scanner (computed tomography)The therapy consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and chiropractic procedure. Contact your neurologist to discuss more about the diagnosis and treatment. Feel free to ask for anything unclear. All the best, ### END

Is this a good time to take it. I am afraid whether there will be any side effects because of it. Is there any different types of copper t. Can you please suggest which one if any and let me know approx price of it. Kindly clarify my doubt. ### REPLY: Hello, Thanks for your query. As you have already got a baby so Copper T can be safe and most effective contraceptive method, make sure your wife did not have Postpartum infection or PID in last three to four months. Copper T is effective for about 10 years. Other IUD is IRENA which unlikely to Copper T contain harmony and is effective for 5 years. Only 1% of failure has been reported with these IUD's. Usually IUD's like copper T are safe, but copper may trigger allergies in some women and may cause unusual heavy vaginal bleeding and cramps. Rarely it may perforate uterus. Cost is reasonable but can vary depending on product company. Hope it helps. Take Care! ### END

I also miscarried at 5 weeks ( just a couple of days ago). I have a ten year old daughter from previous relationship. Is my body trying to tell me that I m too old for another pregnancy. Should I try ivf ? ### REPLY: Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the problem in your case is maintained of pregnancy but not formation of embryo. Usually IVF is suggested to those who are not able to conceive naturally. But in your case the pregnancy occurred naturally both of the times, but first one got terminated due to ectopic and 2nd one due to miscarriage. The cause for ectopic cannot be pinpointed, but the miscarriage might be due to genetic anomalies or hormonal insufficiency like thyroid abnormalities or progesterone insufficiency, diabetes etc. So I suggest you to rule out thyroid abnormalities, diabetes etc. Also give a gap of 3 months for next conception. And start taking folic acid tablet starting one month before planning the pregnancy. And as you are 36 years get screened for Down syn . Nothing to worry. Untoward effects might not repeat in further pregnancy. Relax. Avoid stress. As stress also might hamper the normal hormonal balance in body leading to untoward effects. Hope this helps.

So, I suggest discussing with his doctor if your son is suffering from gastritis or HERD in order to start appropriate treatment. You are also saying that your son is a college boy. Being stressed out/anxious of exams and other college-related stuff would also affect him negatively leading to such problems. I suggest being close to him and support him, letting him know that you are proud of him whatever results he gets in the exams. If you cannot be close to him, you can ask to get helped by his friends or by medical team (psychotherapy). At the end, I also suggest going to his college, ask his teachers and classmates about his behavior to understand more his current situation. I also suggest getting blood/urine sample for . ### END

I have noted your daughters symptoms. She has absence seizures, which seem to be well controlled with sodium valproate. However, she is also putting on weight.

I went to see a doctor about 4 days ago because I was on amoxicillin treatment due to tonsil infections and after I forgot to finish my dosage I went in for another one because the symptoms and signs were starting to show again. the doctor gave me an injection on my buttocks and now I feel numb around the hips and when I try to press the area I was injected I feel like some stringy thing around the numb area. what can be the cause of this numbness? ### REPLY: Hi. Welcome to . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that you have got a nerve injury with the pricking needle that is used in the injection and due to nerve injury there is numbness in the injection site along with the adjoining area supplied by the nerve leading to numbness. The stringy substance that you are feeling can be due to infection leading to pus formation. Mostly nerve injuries caused by needle prick are transient and the sensation almost completely recovers. As of now you can take vitamin B complex daily as it helps in nerve regeneration and healing. Do warm compresses over the numb area. If there is any stringy discharge you should consult a Physician and get evaluated so that he can give you oral and topical antibiotics for resolution of infection. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. . ### END

I appreciate your generosity and gesture towards your friend. You will not be considered as an eligible donor unless you stop smoking for at least 8 weeks prior to donating the kidney. This is because there are many known health risks from smoking1. It can cause potentially life-threatening respiratory complications during or immediately after anesthesia. 2. It may also increase the risk of developing blood clots in the leg veins which can break loose, travel to the lungs and potentially cause death. 3. Furthermore, it causes increased mucus production and a decreased ability to clear the lungs which can lead to pneumonia. 4. Furthermore, it causes decreased wound healing. To be eligible you must quit smoking first and after 8 weeks you can donate the kidney to your friend after getting the pre-operative medical fitness. Since smoking is associate with a number of diseases of the heart and the lungs and various cancers so, it's better to quit smoking ASAP. Hope I could answer your query. ### END

I had non hodgkins lymphoma three years ago and I am still having booster treatments evert three months. the swelling first started after I had a biopsy on on the lympb node in the liower back can dr Mathew Mintz reply ### REPLY: Dear, There must be the recurrence of the disease or must be residual disease after the initial treatment for non Hodgkin lymphoma. The swelling of the leg is because of the pressure on the lymphatic vessels by the tumor. If the chemotherapy has not relieved it, did your doctors advise local radiotherapy in the inguinal area. You can discuss it with your doctor, and he will be the right person to tell you whether you could be benefited with it. Residual disease after chemotherapy is most of the time taken care with Radiotherapy. Truly, ### END

Anytime if you feel the pain is increasing in intensity and there is no relief then consult or tho or physiotherapy doctor and take the necessary steps for evaluation like x-ray. As well follow the treatment as per the report suggested by or tho. In physiotherapy there is a treatment called ultrasound which can also be helpful for soft tissue healing. Consult your physio for this. I hope this will be useful for you. Thank you. Take care. ### END

A fast pulse rate can have many causes. To name a few common ones: anxiety, emotional stress, panic attacks, exercise, fever. You mentioned that you were not feeling well. Based on the tests you were advised it seems that the doctor was suspecting an infection. Were you down with fever since that could elevate the heart as I have mentioned? Fever can also cause the appearance of protein in the urine, which would disappear once the fever settles. In my opinion fever seems to be the most probable cause for you having both a fast heart rate and protein in the urine. Please do not get worked up. I think you will be fine. ### END

Do you know of any medications or creams that would enable me to go outside and walk around during the day?? ### REPLY: Allergy can occur anytime at any age with anything if you are prone it can be due to soaps shampoo oils cooking oils creams ointment clothes body application materials foods or pollen sit can be due to medicines used for other ailments need to find the cause by going through allergy tests after consulting allergeologistand treat accordingly for control can use antiallergic basting and local antiallergic ointment on affected part ### END

The other day, I bit too hard into the gum that is still on the impacted wisdom tooth and created a sore lump. Now I cannot chew on the left side of my mouth or close my mouth all the way. ### REPLY: With your query, as you mentioned that you have impacted tooth that means the tooth hasn't reached to its causal level and still covered by gum that is technically called as periodontal flap. Coming to your swelling I mean the lump could be a periodontal abscess which may be due to forceful food impaction in to gingival called as pseudo pocket. Treatment for this are by two means initially it has to get irrigated by an antiseptic solution then either you should go for a procedure called operculectomy which means removal of gingival or gum that is present over the tooth. This decision will be made by examining the tooth eruption status by radiograph and your age. In some instances if they decide tooth development is complete and chances of recurrence is more than you may have to undergo extraction for the impacted tooth. I would suggest you to go and visit oral surgeon for time being you can start using antibiotics along with painkillers and visit dentist as early as possible for complete treatment. It is unethical to prescribe antibiotics without knowing your . Hope this is informative ### END

In previous cases, heart beat very fast and/or hard. ### REPLY: Thanks for your question on . I can understand your concern. Left sided chest pain, radiating pain in the left arm and fast heart beats are more suggestive of heart diseases like Coronary artery disease (CAD). So immediately consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo 3. Stress test (trade mill test) 4. If required Coronary Angiography.

Other forms of therapy is available but may not be suitable in acute stage, and you have to discuss with your treating doctor. Lithotripsy. This procedure uses ultrasound waves to break up gallstonesContact dissolution therapy.

Pills are hormone based and can alter the concentrations of your natural hormones there by leading to menstrual irregularities. Since you changed abruptly your initial birth control and introduced a new one, it is possible that it is the change that lead to this. Menstrual irregularities e.g., spotting, breakthrough bleeding or amenorrhea can occur during its use. Most of these side effects are mild and usually disappear after a few months of contraceptive use. So I suggest you worry less than stress on its own can lead to menstrual irregularity. Hope this helps ### END

My boyfriend and I just started having sex again after months of no sex because we had a miscarriage and D&C. Do you know what this might be? ### REPLY: Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in . Bumps in pubic area are very common because of increased hair present in this region. It might be just a folliculitis that is infection of hair follicle. It may also be an enlarged lymph node or blocked sebaceous gland present enormously in this area. I would advise you to keep the area clean and give hot fomentation to the affected area as frequently as possible. Pain and swelling will come down. If it doesn't get relieved, you need to see your treating doctor for physical examination. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you. ### END

I dont think this should hurt so much. ### REPLY: Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint you have got two crowns placed and pain after this can be due to either of the following reasons. One reason can be in case if the crowns were placed without root canal treatment of tooth (it is a treatment in which the nerves and blood vessels present in the tooth are cut off either to relieve pain due to infection or as an intentional procedure to avoid complications like pain and sensitivity after crown placement) the preparation of the tooth for seating the crown if done in excess can lead to opening of nerves and when the crown is placed over opened nerves it can cause inflammation of nerve and hence severe pain. In case if the crowns are placed after root canal treatment for an infected tooth pain can be due to persistent infection leading to pus formation and pressure which is not subsided or there is some vital nerve tissue left out in any missed root canal can cause severe pain on crown placement. I would suggest you to consult an ENDODONTIST and get evaluated clinically as well as by getting x-ray done to rule out the cause of pain. In case if root canal is not done and pain is due to irritated nerves the crown needs to be removed followed by Root canal treatment and medicines and once pain is completely subsided crown can be placed again. In case of root canal treated tooth also re treatment will have to be done. You can take painkiller like Eugenic plus or Retool DT (one tablet dissolved in half a glass of water) to provide relief.
