hello doctor I am 38 years old and my wife is 36 years old we are married for the last two years and trying for a baby for the last one year almost by our gynecologist advise we underwent an I cycle which resulted in missed abortion at seven weeks due to no growth of fetus after five weeks done and karyotype of abortion showed a chromosomal abnormality remarks as below aborted fetus karyotype 69 ex banded metaphase shows triploidy wife condition a age 36 years no issue yet has a subserous uterus fibroid of size 68 62 my and bulky uterus had thyearoid and she takes thyearoxin 50 my every day last ash is 48 sugar is under control and tac is normal in childhood she had one occurrence of epilepsy husband condition a age 38 years nonsmoker and non drinker semen analysis result is normal fertile specimen shaving a bit high uric acid in the last one year under medicine karyotyping results of partners husband 46 xy banded metaphase shows normal karyotype wife 46 ex high frequency of banded metaphase shows telomeric association of chromosomes 3 16 my questions are is it possible that after fibroid removal she can conceive a baby in a normal way can there be any bad effect on baby health physical and mental due to the dna abnormality found in her report | hello welcome to icliniq com as far as the subserous nature of the fibroid is concerned which is around 7cm am it per se is not going to have an effect or cause hindrance in conception but it is likely that it can cause problems during the pregnancy and in the late third trimester due to abdominal pain so it is advisable that it should be removed anyways as the size is a concern here and can cause incoordinate uterine contractions during labor later and also chances are that it would further grow under estrogen effect hence better get it removed as the fetus showed triploidy banded metaphase which as per the mother report she has high chances of replication of similar results in future pregnancies as well which may not be compatible with life and likely missed abortions may occur in future hence it is suggested that both of you should try for an if in vitro fertilization with ovum and sperm harvesting and in vitro fertilization of the egg by your sperm and subjecting the embryos to preimplantation genetic screening with fish fluorescence in situ hybridization technique or per polymerase chain reaction or comparative genomic hybridization cgh before selecting the embryo for transplanting into the uterus though the frequency of banded metaphase telomeric association is high for 3 16 and chromosome the chances of the fetus getting triploidy are very high another best option for you as a couple would be to opt for a donor egg from another woman which can be fertilized in vitro by your sperm and then the embryo after pre implantation genetic screening can be implanted in your wife womb to improve the chances of having a healthy conception I hope this helps |

hello doctor I had seven teeth extracted today just the roots anyway over two of the teeth the dentist said there was an infection I did not get any antibiotics but she cleaned the area after there is a lot of swelling in that area and the gums are real red and like an ulcer but not much pain is this normal how do I know if it is infected or dry socket or anything else it could be | hi I have seen the photos nothing to worry about for the swelling give cold pack from the outside of the extraction area do not spit or rinse the mouth for a day drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated do not suck anything such as ice cubes using a straw to have liquid etc because it will lead to dislodgement of the blood clot do not see the extraction site every time it will heal in seven to ten days after 24 hours of extraction rinse your mouth with lukewarm saline water three to four times a day it will help in healing do not smoke or chew tobacco do not drink alcohol or sodas have semi solid food for two to three days dry socket is caused by the dislodgement of the blood clot from the extraction socket in your case white color film is there that clot is covering the socket wait for one more day if the swelling does not reduce consult your dentist if you could provide me your age gender and medical history I will be able to advise on medication as well |

hello doctor I am trying to understand my recent prescription I received and no longer can contact the doctor od 75 50 x070 os 75 50 x010 these are computer reading glasses is it normal if things are blurry at a distance even three feet starts to look weird on reading online I read this as slightly farsighted with slight nearsighted astigmatism in both eyes how is that possible | hello welcome to icliniq com in the prescription you have mentioned there are two components the spherical 75 and the cylindrical 5 at axes 70 10 respectively the important thing to note here is that reading glasses per se are given to people above 40 years of age in your case I feel that this power is probably your distance correction the doctor might have felt that they may be a bit cumbersome to wear all the time and would have given a small magnitude of power and probably have told you only to put them on during intense visual activities like watching computers reading books etc an accurate way to say whether these were meant for distance or for reading is to recall how you were tested at the doctor office in the first place suppose they made you sit at a distance and asked you to read out the letters on a screen then these are distance vision glasses if they had tested the power by giving you a book in your hand and asked you to read it then these would be reading glasses so coming back to your question firstly reading glasses are meant only for distances around am from you for the books and around 100 am for the computers and you would not be able to see beyond this second the far sighted power of 75 is determined by the length of your eyeball in case of far sightedness the eyeballs are shorter compared to normal and in near sightedness they are longer the astigmatic power is determined by the curvature of your cornea in your case myopic astigmatism the corneas are steeper at axes of 70 and 10 degrees respectively compared to the rest of the cornea in hypermetropic astigmatism they are flatter in that particular meridian compared to the rest of the cornea I hope this helps |

hi doctor recently been concerned about a carbon monoxide leak in my pick up recently after a hour interstate drive I stopped and did a carboxyhemoglobin blood test the results came back at 3 I felt that was on the high side of normal so I took it to another exhaust place he claimed it had a small leak and repaired it so this past week we took it on another hour drive this time my wife and I both tested again mine came back at and the wifes at 8 is this normal after driving this distance or should I be concerned | hi welcome to icliniq com carboxyhemoglobin level is raised by various reasons and the inhalation of carbon monoxide is one of the reason our body has many mechanism to increase carboxyhemoglobin level for you and your wife the level is normal and nothing to worry lab to lab variation intro instrumental variation human physiological variations are the reason for different values at different time points in case of carbon monoxide poisoning breathing difficulties bluish discoloration of body blood are commonly seen in such case just inhalation of fresh air can be helpful in such cases the carboxyhemoglobin level is higher than your levels so I suggest to leave the worry go for brisk walking in fresh air daily and practice pranayama to balance the carboxyhemoglobin levels if you want to repeat the blood test can be done after some days if the value is not doubled below the doubled level then it is normal if values are doubled or more only then it is the toxic influence |

hello doctor I recently bought new glasses with a different prescription but I genuinely feel no difference between my glasses I have tested it at in daylight and also during night time numerous times I just see the same I tried to look for the cause myself but it came to a dead end thanks for taking the time I have put the prescription changes down below for some more details right eye left eye spy 50 spy 50 cal 50 axis 175 vis 85 vis 85 after eight months right eye left eye spy 0 spy 25 cal 50 cal 75 axis 175 axis 175 vis 80 vis 78 | hello welcome to icilniq com from your attached prescription I can tell you that there is a very definite change in the power of your glasses and also in the amount of how much you can see the best to make that difference stand out that you can do yourself is to cover each eye and look through the other ideally at an object or letter just visible to normal people around six meters or 20 feet away you can also try this in different levels of light just as you have compared before the impression I get from your prescription is that while your myopia has increased in both the eyes there has been some decrease in the amount of vision in both your eyes that is to say that the power has increased and the amount you see has come down as always testing of glasses is a subjective assessment and varies depending on your suggestion and the optometrist performing the test in case you are not happy with your current glasses you can always return to the same place for a re check I hope this helps |

hello doctor I am having spherical and and 5 cylindrical power in my eyes I have a border line eye pressure doctor said I cannot take laser or ice surgery but can have relax smile for that power but it also needs some cornea tissues which is a risk factor for glaucoma I do not know what to do now which treatment is better for me and the doctor just gave normal lubricant drops is there any treatment for me for refractive surgery by controlling eye pressure | hi how much is your eye pressure did the doctor measure it with an instrument that puffs out air at you or was it a blue light instrument that he used to touch your eye with from what you have told me I understand that you are interested in refractive surgery but the doctor refused to operate on you saying your pressures are high and that your power is too high for lasik it is true that your power is on the higher end of the patients we usually consider for surgery so doing lasik and park photorefractive keratectomy is not possible on the eye with 9d but can be done on the eye with and 5d putting an ice implantable contact lens in your eye might increase your eye pressure so I will not recommend that relax smile can be tried in both your eyes if the surgeon is confident I am guessing that he would have asked you to come for a follow up to re check pressures if the pressures were too high he would have asked for visual fields and a few other tests for glaucoma in either case it all depends on the surgeon experience and your eye pressures if you can tell me about your eye pressure and your vision in each eye with 9d and 1 5d I could help you better |

hello doctor I am 30 years old I have always been a bit clumsy and a slow learner I easily get lost in details given to me and go completely blank I had a hard time understanding maths but I do alright in languages as time passes I have become increasingly clumsy and have poor eye muscle coordination this is making me frustrated at myself what could be the reason | hi I can only answer in broad terms as there so many things that could lead to the symptoms you are describing then I can put you in the direction medically you should follow going forward the fact that you note you have always been a clumsy person and it worsening now indicates that your problem has been a chronic long term one that seems to be progressively with time you mention you were a slow learner and that you are still having cognitive thinking learning memory up unto this day shows me you that there is definitely something wrong and needs to be medically investigated some unknown uninvestigated cognitive problem since early childhood has been missed and caused serious harm to your life and it is not your fault you were a child and it is the clear responsibility of the adults in your life to note the problems and take them further there is an entire range of things that could be causing your symptoms from undetected poor hearing vision or a specific learning disability or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but also including a huge range of psychiatric neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms then the fact that your neurological motor or sensory functioning poor eye muscle coordination has been affected and your feeling clumsy has also been since childhood that difficulty been chronically clumsy from childhood to adulthood and was never investigated further should be not an acceptable way of schooling or raising children so the bottom line is that now you need to take control and investigate these symptoms kindest rest further to at least know the cause of serious problems the doctor I would send you to first is a neurologist or a neuropsychiatrist they can examine you for the right medical investigations like blood tests of rays and it scans etc they should be able to put a possible diagnosis together and all of these symptoms can be explained and understood consult a neurologist as soon as possible follow up according to neurologist advise |

hello doctor I am a 19 year old medical student this year I lost my right tests to testicular torsion resulting from late diagnosis as a precautionary measure a contralateral orchidopexy was also done this involving a part so intimately connected to me shattered me a lot and I am recovering slowly from that mental trauma besides the fear of a retorsion in the left one and its subsequent loss keeps lingering I am also concerned about orchidectomy impacts on my fertility and hormonal levels can you please allay my fears also my surgeon report says the left scrotum was exposed left tests exposed very mild hydrocele version of sac done using 0 monofilament suture left lateral wall of tests fixed with 0 monofilament suture at two points skin closed is this fine why was the sac everted and what about the hydrocele I have heard the 0 monofilament used was absorbable if so then how can those two sutures on the left tests prevent it from further torsion will there be some tissue formation eventually that will hold the tests in place or is it because by then the tests will get naturally attached to gubernaculum as I presume the sutures were made into tunic albuginea however I read somewhere that this might have impact on sperm production is it true lastly can I by any means ascertain whether my left buddy is fine at home by physical examination does the presence cremasteric reflex always rule out a possibility of necrosed tests | hello welcome to icliniq com first of all relax and do not worry at all we had done orchidectomy due to torsion in many patients they are absolutely fine and doing well physically as well as mentally having one tests remaining is perfectly fine you will have no problem regarding sperm production or testosterone levels your left tests can produce enough sperms for fertilization only one sperm is required for fertilization the surgeon has done a perfectly good job in the right tests version of the sac was done for hydrocele so that in future you do not develop hydrocele also fixation with 0 monocryl is perfect it just requires fixation at two points so that is cannot twist in the future if suture are absorbable also no problem as it will cause fibrosis at the suture site so your tests remains fixed in the correct position so do not worry everything is fine |

hello doctor I am a 62 year old female I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis following colonoscopy biopsies I started on entocort three days later I have severe swelling in feet and ankles I am fatigued the next day on the seventh day I had swelling of lips and a strange feeling in the throat I called the doctor and he stopped the medication my blood report shows hemoglobin 6 do rec 38 million m3 iron saturation fecal stool sample postive I went to the er I was given two units of blood my hemoglobin raised to 5 the next day I was discharged endoscopy was performed and my biopsy report is negative I had minor stomach inflammation my next bloodwork shows hemoglobin 1 do rec 05 million m3 iron 51 saturation 12 vitamin b12 648 immunoglobulin a and are pretty low gastroenterologist says need to do small cap endoscopy to see if there is bleeding in the small intestine my new stool sample results are not back yet but stools have not been dark what other tests need to be done to determine the cause of anemia list the possible that medication caused anemia since I had such a severe reaction current medications no prescription only supplements vitamin do coq 10 methyl b12 and curcumin | hi entocort budesonide is a corticosteroids it is very unlikely to cause anemia especially to the extent that you had what was your hemoglobin prior to the colonoscopy if it was near normal and then dropped to 6 that would be a huge drop if you had gastrointestinal bleeding leading to such a huge drop in hemoglobin in a short span of time I would expect that you would have noticed the blood in your stool minor bleeding over longer periods can lead to anemia and in those cases serum ferritin a storage form of iron would be low acute blood loss anemia usually does not cause serum ferritin to drop did you have a serum ferritin level done along with your other iron studies if the serum ferritin is less than 15 it is almost definitely iron deficiency iron deficiency is either due to dietary reasons or blood loss dietary iron deficiency is rare in developed countries so blood loss has to be ruled out if no obvious reason is identified on upper gi endoscopy or colonoscopy then small bowel pathology has to be ruled out by capsule endoscopy other reasons for a rapid drop in hemoglobin would be hemolysis where the red blood cells are destroyed for various reasons this would be diagnosed by tests like peripheral blood smear serum haptoglobin direct and indirect bilirubin direct coomb test lah lactic acid dehydrogenase please attach any reports you have with you that may help me give you a better answer |

hello doctor I tested negative for ana but positive for anti dsdna my go diagnosed me with ankylosing spondylitis when I have many symptoms of lupus just not the rash my sister also has lupus and did not test positive for ana she has seronegative lupus I am under the impression that anti dsdna has nothing to do with ankylosing spondylitis is that correct I am currently taking gabapentin tizanidine naproxen levothyearoxine | hi you are right anti didna antibodies are specific for she systemic lupus erythematosus especially if the titers are high ankylosing spondylitis does not give you any kind of antibodies anti smith antibodies are the most highly specific antibodies for lupus but only a small percentage of people with lupus have them did you get that test but it is strange that your ana antinuclear antibody was negative anti didna is a type of ana I believe it is a false positive a normal sedimentation rate essentially rules out inflammatory pathology lupus is an inflammatory disease to begin with we need to know more about your symptoms she is diagnosed based on the symptoms and signs along with laboratory tests it is not diagnosed just on the basis of an antibody test you can get false positive tests positive test in the absence of disease so please get back to me with details of your symptoms based on the information you gave I do not think you have lupus there are no blood tests that can diagnose ankylosing spondylitis as ha b27 is more common in people with as but it is not diagnostic as diagnosis needs clinical and radiological criteria I hope this helps |

hello doctor I have trouble sleeping but when I do get the chance to sleep I often wake up still feeling exhausted my thoughts keep me up at night and as a result I am always thinking about tomorrow or worrying | hi most causes of sleeplessness are due to wrong habits and the good news is that it is easy to cure them you should have a natural circadian rhythm try to go to sleep and get up at the same time every day and wake at the same time do not take coffee or tea after am milk can be taken cover the windows and doors with curtains and avoid light avoid watching to lying in bed and avoid mobile phones do exercise walk for 45 minutes after dinner take a bath after that I hope this helps |

hi doctor my 19 year old brother was suffering from ocd and it started kicking back in for the past 20 days he basically has a checking problem he is currently a freshman at a university and was doing well for the first two months last month he went back home and was returning back to the university and that is when he started feeling homesick during the journey he felt for a moment that he going back to an unsafe place this feeling was because of a crime movie that was shot in the city his university is in that made him feel uncomfortable and at the same time the results of his mid term were told to him and he misinterpreted them and thought he scored less but the real scores were very good and he did the best among his class but he was affected by all these thoughts throughout the journey and right now he fights homesickness and is scared about the place he lives in and also checks continuously if he is able to understand what he is being taught in the class rather than listening to the class I am scared for him and his future | hi his current symptoms are also probably due to ocd obsessive compulsive disorder he has fear due to a crime scene of a movie and is feeling very homesick this is happening because of severe anxiety due to ocd if he has never consulted a psychiatrist then he should visit for evaluation fluoxetine or fluvoxamine which are sari selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs are the drug of choice for severe ocd the drugs help to control ocd symptoms in about four to six weeks for very severe symptoms low dose antipsychotics can also be used visit a psychiatrist for help |

hello doctor I am 24 years old I had my kidney stone removed a year ago for causing mild hydronephrosis at my right kidney during the treatment I was exposed to full of radiation abdominal it scan lithotripsy fluoroscope and another fluoroscope during stent insertion I am not sure how the doctor manages the radiation I did my treatment abroad and it is not really a well developed country he might not even care bout it I studied some about radiation when I was in dental school so I am very scared of the side effects so if I am to have another case of hydronephrosis should I just remove the kidney rather than undergoing such radiation which may cause me high risk of future cancer because as you can see I am still so young and I just started my career what do you suggest do the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa is there another less risky treatment in terms of radiation how about invasive treatment is the risk higher aside from the slow healing and I am serious about the removal if indeed it has lower radiation risk even though I know kidney is very important please suggest | hello there are enough studies and literature which prove that though there is radiation exposure during it computed tomography scan in the removal of kidney stone it is in low dose and chances of cancer do not increase so do not worry about that I do not think removing kidney to escape from radiation exposure is a good option you should not think of that if there is again stone formation then there is a treatment called ultrasound guided lithotripsy eswl which can break your stone from outside without any radiation exposure so you can do eswl extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy if required later but no need to remove the kidney |

hello doctor I have been having off and on ear pressure in my right ear and have some cold symptoms the last 5 weeks chillish runny nose body aches etc my kids have battled the cold as I have my office I noticed my right submandinbular lymph node was slightly swollen I went to my go and he prescribed antibiotics which has not helped I have had sinus issues in the past I noticed that my right tonsil is bigger than the other which is the side of the pressure and lymph node can a viral illness cause one sided swelling could this be tonsil cancer I go to the dentist every six months whom I assume checks out my tonsils I am concerned it is one sided my throat has not really been that sore | hello I went through the pictures it seems you have inflamed tonsils one side does appear to be larger and more red than the other it does not mean you got tonsil cancer it is a routine infection that needs strong antibiotics the symptoms with regards ear swollen node etc all signify infection how many days amoxicillin course has been completed what dosage did you take did you take any gargles along with the antibiotics any nasal or oral decongestant any nasal sprays did the go check the insides of the ear using an otoscope usually when one has tonsillitis or pharyngitis the pain gets radiated to the ear and sometimes the infection also passes into the ear through the eustachian tube causing fullness and swelling inside the ear the nearest nodes also get swollen when the infection is severe I would suggest you take a course of clarithromycin appropriate for your weight for days and take betadine or benzydamine gargles take otrivin nasal spray for five days and steam inhalation if the infection is not subsiding and the nodes are increasing in size you may need some blood tests and possibly intravenous antibiotics do you smoke or drink what sort of a diet do you consume is there any fever or weakness alongside |

hello doctor would dry eyes cause cloudy vision with little nonmoving black dots this is my normal vision and every once in a while I can see perfectly the eye doctor said everything in the eye looks perfect I have noticed when I sleep one eyelid does not close all the way but this is the vision in both eyes I did have a vitrectomy in one eye and the other is still in need of cataract surgery | hi yes dry eyes can cause blurring of vision as you said you feel your one eye is not closed properly while sleeping so there is a greater chance of getting cornea dry and can lead to exposure keratopathy but you have not mentioned any history of stroke or bell palsy did you have any did your doctor notice that you are unable to close one eye properly your mi body mass index is also high so with obesity there is a condition related to floppy eyelid in which eyelids are more elastic and get averted while sleeping that can also cause dry eyes you said you had vitrectomy in one eye please explain why was that advised are you having diabetic retinopathy or you had a vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment or you had similar black spots in that eye too these black spots in vision may also be due to vitreous liquefaction and condensation which is age related problem jelly in the back of your eye starts becoming liquid after 50 years of age so you can use artificial tear drops or dry eye and the eye you feel does not close properly you can also patch your eye while sleeping with simple tape so that your cornea does not get dry out your eye doctor is doing a great job he has examined your eyes so he knows better and he will do the best you can discuss with him if anything missed like if you have not told him about incomplete closure of the eye during sleep |

hi doctor I have an 18 month old daughter my daughter has had trouble with her bowels since she was months old she finds it impossible to do a normal stool she strains and screams to the point she falls asleep from exhaustion and still does not pass stool she does have a regular bowel movement but she is in constant pain while doing it her stool has got to the point of having blood in it I have taken her to numerous doctors and tried just about everything possible to help her current specialist has given her the same medicine which I have stated does not work it does not matter what the dosage is I have contacted him to tell him it does not work and he has just said to change her to another type of laxative laxatives do not work for her I feel it is something more serious so I was just wondering if you could take the time out to give me some advice on what I could do or what might be wrong with my daughter I cannot handle watching her be in pain anymore | hi she has chronic constipation as you have noticed blood she also may have fissure in anus due to which she has extreme pain give her lots of water and a high fiber diet dry fig milkshake dates and prunes in any form help a lot give either one of them every day along with fruits and vegetables you can try lactulose suppository for a few days which may prove more effective than syearup secondly make her sit in a tub of lukewarm water with few drops of salon put on it this is called a sit bath which will help if there is fissure wound due to peeling of skin in the anal area do this three times a day also encourage her to pass stools immediately after every meal as it is the ideal time to try when bowels are in action for the digestion of food if you do not find any improvement in five to seven days please consult a pediatric surgeon to check the fissure and investigate further |

hi doctor I am 34 years old I have had pain in both of my legs when sitting for about 12 years the pain starts 15 minutes after sitting and it is pretty bad there are itchy and burning pain between my calves and ankles and it feels like my legs are squeezed in this area at the same time there is dull and a kind of bursting pain in the feet and dull and itchy pain in the back and the middle of upper legs nothing in the buttocks sometimes there are tingling sensation starting in the middle of upper downwards it feels like I need to raise my feet a little bit from the floor and move them all the time there was minor varicose vein removed on my right leg no more visible veins there since then and you can see the vein on my left leg but they are not varicose when I stand up it feels like 70 90 of the pain is gone there is no pain when I walk also there is a tingling sensation when I lay down and bend my knees so I feel these sensations from knees downwards it feels like there is a problem with circulation but why it starts straight away after sitting I know some people who have pretty bad veins on legs but they do not have that bad pain like me it drives me crazy please suggest | hi leg pain can have so many causes but from your history of aching after sitting suggest a possibility of dot deep vein thrombosis dot is the formation of a blood clot in a deep leg vein blood vessel the pain is typically a burning or cramping sensation immobility is one of the cause of this immobility results in slow blood flow from the leg to the heart slow blood are more likely to clot than normal now you have to consult a surgeon immediately and do a doppler study of both legs to check the blood flow they will provide you with medicines |

hello doctor for a while now I have had a terrible odor that comes out my mouth and nose the odor is somewhat subtle whenever I am not around a fan ac etc but whenever I am around one of those the smell seems to spread all around me I am positive the smell is coming from inside my stomach I have realized a lot about leaky gut and candid but neither one mentions a smell my diet before has been poor lots of packaged sugary foods but I have always been a healthy weight I feel terrible riding in a vehicle with others I will sometimes hold my breath to try and stop the smell but it does not work most of the time my symptoms started when I was a working nightshift job stress might have been a factor although I did not feel like I was I have not worked there for almost six months and my condition has worsened could the amount of sugar I consumed destroyed my stomach lining I also heard when candid is starved it digs into the lining and essentially makes holes which can cause food to leak could this be the source of the smell I am currently taking probiotics | hi welcome to icliniq com there is nothing like leaking gut in the medical dictionary the bad breath you are experiencing in medical terms is called halitosis it is majorly because of poorly kept oral hygiene it could be an indicator of gum infection tooth decay smoking alcohol etc sometimes it is because of organized infection of tonsils my suggestion is to consult a dentist first to find out the cause as in the majority of patients it is related to the oral cavity the remedy is simple maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily in your case after every feed do regular flossing avoid smoking and alcohol if you do so you can use flavored mouthwashes regularly which are easily available with chemists |

hi doctor I have been experiencing some very unusual problems at the moment and I am getting a bit concerned about them I have not gone to my doctor about it yet it is hard to explain but I will try it is as if the connections between my hands and my brain become muddled and I have trouble telling which part of my fingers or hands is being stimulated it all kind of blurs into one numb sensation my hands feel heavy and become harder to move as if I am trying to move them through a viscous fluid this weird experience has been happening mainly when I am at work and when I am stressed but I am noticing it now slightly as well while typing this it is a really bizarre feeling and it can extend through my arms and my legs when it gets really bad I also have a constant tinnitus but I only notice it at night when trying to sleep or if I am in silence I also feel that my heartbeat has started to become irregular and I always feel tired and dizzy at the moment I went to my doctor about the dizziness about months ago and got a blood test done and that was fine but he said my blood pressure was slightly high for my age two years ago I very stupidly took a legal high bk 2cb and I had a full blown visual and auditory trip that lasted about 18 hours once it wore off I was fine but then about weeks later I started to have visual problems I had really bad after images and reality just looked very strange to me especially when looking at other people these visual symptoms seemed to have faded now but I still have brain fog and after images I am just messaging because I am concerned about the problems I am having with my sense of my hands in particular and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the stupid mistake I made years ago when taking that drug | hello the sensation in your hand can be because of compression of the nerve at elbow while typing but it is unlikely to spread to your legs stress anxiety can cause such symptoms tinnitus at night when it is very quiet outside is common and normal phenomenon but when it is present when you are in a noisy environment that is abnormal dizziness and tiredness may be a part of your stress slightly high blood pressure will require regular blood pressure checks and there is nothing to worry about on that front drug effect does not last for years if you have taken it for a very long time the it can cause psychiatric problems but I do not think your problems are related to that I would suggest you take a psychiatric consultation because I do not feel it is a neurological problem and there is nothing to worry about |

hello doctor what will my doctor exactly do while examination when I tell him I am having erection problems | hi it depends on what all positive findings you give while giving history for example the doctor will ask you for diabetes high blood pressure any regular medicine intake psychiatric medicines low hemoglobin symptoms etc these diseases usually cause ed erection dysfunction as a secondary cause then depending on what comes out of the conversation the check up will consist of general body workup for the ed part the doctor will surely look for a local problem the size and consistency of tests the shape and size of the penis he will then try to check for erection as a reflex on touching and will also check for skin retraction the next step can be a stamp test or a penile doppler where the blood supply of the organ will be checked there can also be a nerve conduction test done if the doctor thinks that the nerve supply is deficient I hope this helps |

hello doctor I am a 19 year old male I am active and never had any serious condition of unhealthiness as a part of the ongoing project I had to work for almost 14 days in burning hot sun when I returned home I identified white spots on my face and quickly searched the internet for a narrow down of the condition thanks to this site I have identified it as tina versicolor and used an ot clotrimazole ointment and it faded away in less than a week just after that my friends pointed out a rash on my neck and I thought it was probably the same as my previous infection it was white in color and looked like a fungal infection with four small patches and so I applied the same cream unfortunately I could observe no change and kept trying home remedies like turmeric and honey paste etc it has now come to look black and dry as in the attached image there is no sensation whatsoever at all I only know it is there when I place my hand over it please can you help me identify what it is I have already looked at a lot of conditions and was unable to match it with mine it is been almost six months and it looks like one has faded and the other three have mated | hi I have seen the pictures the condition in the picture is not tina versicolor at the moment this is skin thickening as a result of allergy to sun exposure this is quiet common in the neck area you must use a good quality sunscreen till the allergy resolves completely as such it is not something you should get scared for as most of the sun allergies resolve on their own sun allergies mild topical steroid cream like desonide cream application at night only over the patch for not more that 14 days spy 50 sunscreen every three to four hours throughout the day time eat lots of carrots and paya as they have beta carotene which will protect you from sun allergies internally follow up after seven days for assessing the improvement of the treatment |

hello doctor my friend gets frequent fever and weak bone problems she is not able to gain weight and strong bones she belongs to a poor family though she has been visiting many ayurvedic homeopathic my no one is able to figure out the exact reason there might be chances of bone cancer she had already spent lots of money and now she is losing hope please help | hi it seems from what you have mentioned that your friend is a 30 year old lady with frequent episodes of fever and bone pain assuming that the bone problems you mentioned are bone pains at multiple locations if she is indeed only 70 labs then it is likely that she is cachexic this along with the frequent fevers gives us a major red flag for two serious conditions that she might have tuberculosis to or tumor anywhere in the body let us discuss these two possibilities tuberculosis is endemic and is more common than we think most individuals already have the bacteria in them and the disease occurs when their immunity reduces long standing low grade fevers loss of appetite and weight history of contact with someone who had active to and low socioeconomic living conditions are quite likely to cause to while to most commonly involves the lungs causing a chronic cough to can affect almost any system in the body one may have musculoskeletal to involving the spine joints and any of the bones if your friend bone pains are related to she should have pain at only a few locations in her body unless she is immunocompromised tumors or cancer anywhere in the body can cause loss of appetite and weight low grade fevers may occur in some tumors while the spread of tumor tissue to bones will lead to bone pains and pathological fractures tumors arising from the bones are a definite possibility finally besides to and tumors there are other rarer causes cachexia and bone pains these include nutritional deficiency disorders like osteomalacia hiv infection certain medications that reduce immunity etc it might be a good idea for her to take pictures of all the tests that she has undergone and also any rays or imaging that she may have got done till now you may upload these on this platform and we could discuss her issues further I understand she may be losing hope from any medical intervention and such disease related depression is quite common if she has consulted only ayurvedic doctors till now it may be prudent to take opinions from allopathic doctors it is quite possible that her diagnosis may have been missed lastly I would sincerely suggest that you take at least verbal consent from her before discussing the specifics of her case on this platform I hope this helps tuberculosis malignancy |

hello doctor I am a 25 years male before two months back I got into a very fearful situation and I felt panicked at that time I consulted a psychiatrist and he gave me clonezopam propranolol and anti depressants after using it for seven to ten days I stopped them by knowing that they are addictive and after stopping I felt new kind of problems such as heart palpitations whenever I try to sleep in the day time and I get irregular sleep at night feeling anxious for many days I kept tolerating them after many days now the symptoms have diminished but still I get palpitations whenever I try to sleep then I took medhavati for 12 14 days my sleeping time at night somewhat increased but I did not use to get a refreshed sleep I consulted a general doctor he told me it is just a phobia and gave me stalopam clonezepam and escitalopram for 15 days and multivitamin tablets then I consulted an ayurvedic specialist he gave manasamitra vatakam stresswin and saraswatiristam please help me whether I should take these ayurvedic medicines or take antidepressants for 15 days are manasamitra and saraswatiristam safe for me and do not have side effects and what time does it take to show effects and for much duration should I take them now I am almost fine but unable to sleep at daytime due to palpitations and getting some negative fearful thoughts at some times does manasamitra increase serotonin in the brain and give enthusiasm I am thinking of going for allopathy for 15 days or will ayurveda medicines show early results please help | hello I could understand how much confusion you experience and your mental pain so far fewer studies have been done if we combine allopathy drugs with ayurveda or siddha drugs in your case I feel you should continue the allopathy drugs for 15 days or above as per physicians instruction I feel you can also have propranolol to reduce the palpitation you can continue the allopathy drugs for particular days in order to avoid the addiction the gradual stepwise dose reduction of tablets should be followed for example from day 16th onwards half tablet to be continued for next one week then every alternate days half tablet for next one week then every ith day half a tablet for next week then stop it this can be done with the advice of the physician few research in animals has proved that manasamitra tablet could increase serotonin levels but not 100 guarantee given many clinical sharing concludes that these three ayurvedic drugs are useful if the patient starts the therapy in the early stage of the disease and also good for long term treatment hence in your case adding these drugs will surely have some beneficial role you do not stop these ayurvedic drugs continue it for the next six months you join for a regular yoga class or training class daily continuously for the next six months in my experience after six months you can stop all medications including ayurveda and can run the best life only with yoga practice yoga practice at home is free of cost many people got miracle relief from anxiety depression and can focus on the studies or business or particular work with good sleep and good diet you find out your interested hobby be it plants pets color fishes walking playing picnic temples etc focus on these you will come out of the stressful anxiety I hope this helps |

hello doctor my grandmother had a big goiter that she did not get it removed later she got a large cyst on the ovary I mean keg when she removed it she found out she had ovarian cancer she removed it and is healthy today now I am terrified that this is hereditary what do you think I am so scared for my mother the doctor told my grandmother to remove the goiter a lot of times it was huge and she had hyperthyearoidism I have read somewhere that there might be a link to hyperthyearoidism and ovarian cancer I think that the body is trying to tell something when she got all this stuff my grandmother was smoking for almost 30 years before she got this and was when she was diagnosed do you think it is hereditary she is the only one in the family with this type of cancer no breast cancer known in the family my mother was on a check before a few days but she is and has irregular bleeding and has an appointment with a specialist next month I am terrified my grandmother had an early menopause and the doctor thinks the same is going on with my mother if she got the menopause from my mother I think she also can get the cancer but it is very normal to get the menopause on the same age as your mother is it my mother is years has kids never tried a smoke do you think she is in danger I also have ocd and terrifying thoughts all the time | hello first it is perfectly normal if your grandmother had and now your mother is started having premenopausal irregular cycles at age of there is no harm in having menopause at this age and studies have concluded that early menopause protects from breast and ovarian cancers second since your grandmother had ovarian cancer then here are a few questions what was the age of your grandmother when it was diagnosed what was the histological type and grade of the tumor has she underwent screening for other cancers that are common in this age group and your complete family history with cancer history in family members the use of hormonal replacement therapy or other erogenous hormones third thing is that being concerned sometimes over concerned about the health of family member should not be considered as ocd or any other disorder until and unless the thoughts makes you sick one suggestion that I can give to you to relieve of your anxiety is that you should take advice of a medic if in doubt rather than ruminating on thoughts of impending doom and last thyearoid swelling can be tackled with a simple surgery so convince your go |

hello doctor in the past several months I was diagnosed with anterior uveitis in my right eye several weeks later I was also diagnosed in my left eye in addition I experienced some achilles heel tendinitis and back pain I completed the week treatment program dilating drops for the first week and slow recession of steroid drops and about weeks later symptoms began reappearing in the left eye followed by the right I began another round of steroid drops in both eyes and slowly tapered the consistency I am down to drops per day and I have begun experiencing severe back pain which had previously quieted down also in the past weeks I have had a pityeariasis rose attack the and attack in 4 years I was also treated for bacterial vaginosis a few weeks ago and prescribed antibiotics it seems to me that everything is connected but I tested negative for inflammation in my blood and no doctor has been able to link everything or look at all my symptoms as a whole any help or input is greatly appreciated | hello it seems from the history that you are having recurrent attacks of uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the eye and it can be because of infections allergies systemic diseases skin diseases like pityeariasis can be seen associated with uveitis however there is no definitive relationship between vaginosis and uveitis back pain because of arthritis is a common association with uveitis the treatment for uveitis is by steroids and cycloplegic dilating stops as you are taking now and you can continue same treatment since the episodes of uveitis are recurrent I advice for a systemic evaluation the common tests need to be done are complete blood count ear cop since you are having backpain we need to rule out arthritis and spondylitis as a underlying cause hence you require ray of spine and ra factor there is definitive and proven link between back pain and uveitis hence I advice you to get evaluation done to rule out spondylitis and arthritis |

hello doctor I am years old and weighs about 86 keg my whole body hurts I got pain all over the body pain in legs and hands pain is persistent all the time mostly in the lower feet and hand I am having pain for the past three months I just had an appointment with my doctor he ordered some blood work and told me everything is fine and he told me to see the rheumatologist once for my peace of mind I have attached my report do you see anything abnormal in my blood report what is the cause of my body pain is anything wrong with my body do I have any underlying conditions such as leukemia lymphoma or any other cancer do I have any liver disease or thyearoid disease that can lead me to pain before three months I did a blood test and my rheumatoid factor was 1 iu my and now it is iu my why it is going up with a short duration of time what do I need to do I am eating healthy and getting good sleep but I am not losing weight my vitamin level is 40ng my and I am taking vitamin b12 I am taking vitamin for almost one year I taking 400 iu for five days a week please explain in detail the treatment plan | hello well I have gone through your history and the reports attached all the reports are normal I could not find the reports of liver function tests there but I suppose your doctor had already looked into it do not worry you do not have any cancers at the current time if any cancer would cause pain it surely would have affected your blood counts as well as for rheumatoid factor or can be lab variation or instrument variation but as long as you do not have joint swellings or pain it is insignificant my diagnosis for pain would go for fibromyalgia it is more of a diagnosis of exclusion and one only considers it after ruling out the other causes which they have done so far I will give you a link you can go through it and let me know if your symptoms match this as treatment will depend on your being convinced about the diagnosis I hope this helps fibromyalgia |

hello doctor I am a 20 year old female I am pregnant and suffering from depression and my main trigger is lack of sleep and tiredness I am aware that I am having a child I am signing up for sleepless nights so my main concern is antidepressants and the effect they might have while breastfeeding | hi I have read your post thoroughly and I have to tell you that depression during pregnancy must be dealt with carefully pregnancy itself causes mood swings and there are episodes of depression as a consequence of hormonal fluctuation the best ways to deal with this during pregnancy vary from patient to patient depending on their level of depression provided your history with this and the suicidal attempts you may need to be on antidepressants which even though are generally considered unsafe for the fetus a few are of pregnancy safety category meaning category drugs may be given when benefits outweigh the risks in your case needless to say these are prescription medications and I recommend you to see a psychiatrist who can evaluate your present situation and decide on that please note that if you ever feel like you need medication during pregnancy do not hesitate to consider the safer options because harboring something like depression can make it worse and cause more harm to the fetus than the drug itself I hope this is helpful |

hello doctor I have an eye infection for six months initially it started with the left side under eye and now it is with both the eyes currently my right eyelid and both under eyes has swelled whenever I touch or rub my eyes also I get itching sensation I have stopped using all eye cosmetics since then every doctor I have consulted says it is dust allergy and gives different eye drops tablets and ointments and says to use it until one month continuously I have used precisely as each doctor suggested till date but still could not get rid of my eye infection even now my eyelids and under eyes are swollen please explain to me why is this happening for the past six months and please help me to get rid of this suffering | hello unfortunately allergy is not a disease as much as it is a reaction to some factors the purpose of any eye drop that we use as ophthalmologist can recommend is merely to suppress that reaction the main treatment would be to detect the factor that is causing this condition and escape it in order to do so you will have to go in your memory six months back and find out what new factor has been introduced into your life another option would be to undergo an allergy test and find out what are the main factors you have an allergy to it would of course help me more to visualize the changes that you currently have in the eyes you can upload several good quality photos of your eyelids and invert them so that I can see the conjunctive the inner layer of the eyelids it is very important to inform me whether you have any other symptoms such as sneezing dry cough or any other symptoms that started at the same time with the changes in your eyes |

hello doctor my crown has become loose as there is decay inside the crown and around half the edge but not visible I was told that tooth is stable underneath I saw one endodontist who said to rule out implant and he would do root canal but bone and gum are less than ideal and 50 chances are there that it will work he also did not clear all the decay did not take the crown off but drills straight through a wobbly decayed tooth underneath crown did not do the post or crown there is a long standing chronic access at root for years current root canal was done years ago I do not have any other molars left in lower I am in shocked sad anxious and 60 years old I feel tempted to go to an unknown dentist just to see if he could do a hemisection as the endodontist I talk to no longer do them as implants are available and semis tend not to last long does anyone reading this please see any hope for this tooth I chew on it and have no sensitivity and no pain no symptoms at all there is gum recession I have complained to dentist about for the last couple of years I am concerned I will regret not trying to save this tooth if at all possible also told to see prosthodontist to ensure a crown could be made if I get the retreatment I have two tracks I am pursuing I will see an oral surgeon tomorrow to rule out implant and then see prosthodontist I am attaching rays concerned in this decision making process about any further damage being done to gum and or bone impeccable hygiene history | hello seeing the recent rays it is obvious that the distal root has abscess and should be removed hemisection might be a good idea but it alone cannot withstand the biting force and if you can afford then go for a molar implant behind this tooth so that you will get one extra molar to chew on a hemisection to retain the menial root of this tooth along with another implant behind it will give adequate tooth structure to have a normal biting force if you cannot afford both then go for extraction of this abscessed tooth and an implant as hemisection alone is not strong unless it has more support behind it |
