Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: I am 4 days late on my period and have no signs that it is coming. I have a pretty regular schedule, so it s weird that it is late... I have been having slight mild cramps, nausea, fatigue, backaches and headaches, increase in appetitie, frequent urination, and thick white vaginal discharge. Could I be pregnant? ### Response: Hello, and I hope I can help you today. If you are having unprotected intercourse, then you have a risk of pregnancy. However, pregnancy symptoms vary widely in women, and the majority of women have no symptoms at all other than a missed period. And your period can even be delayed from the stress of worrying about pregnancy. All of your symptoms can be caused by other reasons, including vaginal and urine infections and premenstrual syn Sadiq. So the only reliable way to know is to perform a commercially available urine pregnancy test and follow the directions. Your first urine of the morning has the highest hormone concentration and is most reliable for testing. I hope this answer was helpful and best of luck with your situation. Sincerely, |

The blue dots are only bruises from your injury or contusion the palpitation feeling you have may subside within first 3 to 4 days. For now, I suggest icing it for the first 48 hours, massages with topical gels, painkillers like ibuprofen tab when needed and use an arm sling will be helpful. If pain persist ask your physician for Doppler ultrasound on your left upper limb venous system to exclude varicose veins and x-rays, MRI, if needed for proper management.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: Hi I was wondering, If I got 2 stitches in 2 spots (total 4 stitches) near my calf area, how long should it take for it to heal and be taken off? They said 14 days but my volleyball tournament is coming up and I need practice!! I was hoping 10 days? or do I have to wait the full 14 days? Can I play with it on? ### Response: Hi, Thanks for writing to Sadiq. Usually in body when sutures are put it takes different time to heal at different places. Since calf region is weight-bearing area you need to keep sutures for 14 days. After that if there is no infection or redness then sutures will be removed. I would suggest you not to practice till your sutures are out. As it may cause separation of sutures due to tension or again trauma to the site and bleeding. Hope I have been helpful.

A few days earlier I had unprotected vaginal sex. i went to my doctor who was unsure of what it was but said it was most likely contact dermatitis and prescribes a steroid cream and said to come back if it spread. 2 weeks later the rash had basically healed and i woke up with what looks like a cluster of mosquitoe bites in the same area. 2 days after another night of drinking beer. this rash is not the same as before as it resembles mosquito bites insteas of the bright red rash i had before but it seems as though it is spreading when i scratch it. it is far itchier this time as well. any ideas as to what this may be? ### Response: Hi, Since the rash is spreading & you have itching with irritation it can be due to pin-worms, untreated yeast infection, allergic rash (lichen sclerosis), genital warts & STD.

Leg cramps are mostly related to electrolyte imbalance mainly low potassium.2. Since she is already on potassium supplements, you can get serum potassium levels checked to see if she is getting right dose.3. Lumps and cramps in elderly may also be because of varicose veins, which is quite common with sedentary lifestyle.4. If there are too many prominent veins, then she needs to get a Doppler study for varicose veins.5. You can try using elastic stockings to reduce the swelling and improve venous Sadiq.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: I have just had a fertility check and have been told that I have an antral follicle count of 22 and AMH level of 28.22 pmol. I was reassured that these are not results that would give cause for concern but as the consultant usually sees results for those with fertility issues he wasn t able to give me an indication of whether these results are typical for a woman of my age (34). Also, I have seen on my report that my right ovary has a volume of 5.4cm 3 but the left has a volume of 8.2 cm 3. Should I be troubled by these volumes? In addition, the size of the antral follicles is 2-5 mm in the right ovary and 2-6 mm in the left ovary. Again, this was not discussed with me so any light you could shed on this would be appreciated. ### Response: Hi, As per the reports, you have the values in the normal range and as such there is not much reason to worry. Your left ovary is slightly on the higher side, but this would be significant if accompanied by high astral count of more than 30. As such, the values are very much near normal for your age, and they should not be a in Sadiq. The size of the astral follicles is normal and not to be worried about. Hope your query is answered.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: Doc, My son aged 10 years has been told by the orthodontist that he has lesser space in the jaw than required leading to uneven teeth line. The dentist has advised that there is a requirement to remove four Permanent Teeth to make space for waiting teeth. Is it a correct line of treatment. Thanks (SK Didwania) ### Response: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The removal of the permanent first premolar is commonly done during orthodontic treatment to accommodate space and pull back the maligned teeth. Nothing to worry, if the proclaimed teeth has to be pulled back, if there is no space in the jaw, then the premolars has to be extracted. It is a correct line of treatment. But I would like to suggest consulting a good orthodontist and take an opinion, since your sons age is 10 years, all the permanent teeth might not have erupted particularly canines and premolars. Get a radiograph like OPG and Lateral rephotograph done and assess the status of teeth and bone, later start the treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

It hurt so badly on my right side, it went up to my jaw and actually my gums hurt as did my ears. I thought I had water in my ears they hurt so badly. It lasted approx 1/2 hour and I was scared to death that I was having a heart attack, but the pain was on my sternum and towards the right. I also have breast cancer, been going through chemo (Halaven). Had a oxgen test today - was 100%; had chest x-ray- nothing showed. Do you have an idea of whats going on. ### Response: You probably had an attack of bronchospasm last night. You need to take bronchodilators at that time to get relief. Such attacks are not common either due to cancer or due to chemotherapy. You need to get pulmonary function tests to check lung reserve. Heaven is not know to cause such side effects. You probably had an allergic reaction. Re check your diet and environment and list of medications carefully and try to identify the allergen which has precipitated the attack. Be careful to avoid exposure to that allergen again |

I need to know what kind of doctor to see. i have brought this up with my general doctor but they say it is nothing. if it is nothing then why is my arm tingling. it seems to be getting worse. ### Response: Hi ! Good evening. I am Sadiq answering your query. Whatever the lump might be from, the tingling sensation / numbness in your arm could be due to its pressure on the brachial plexus (nerves of arm and hand). If I were your family physician, I would refer you to a general surgeon, who after a local and general examination might consider a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) to arrive at the origin of the lesion. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Sadiq to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Sadiq. |

I wasn t able to pull my foreskin all the way back until I was about 17, which took some serious effort. When this was done there was some white/yellow stuff under the foreskin, I washed it off and have washed it with soap and water on a regular basis since; however, almost ten years later, if I miss even a few days of washing it while on a camping trip or something, the yeast looking stuff comes back. Is this a yeast infection or what? ### Response: Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. The white and yellowish stuff you are finding around your penis head is simply a mixture of urine, dust, may be some sperm cells and other atmospheric and fabric impurities. The best alternative is to keep the area clean. If you start worrying about this, the worry might lead you towards anxiety disorders. You might need psychological counseling., I am more than happy to provide telephone psychological counseling through Sadiq. Contact me through customer care, www.Sadiq .com.

My doc said I needed a massage. I went for a massage and had no relief. Over Christmas, my arm and hand started to tingle and go numb. I went to doc after Christmas and he gave me painkillers. I started physio therapy treatments, and they started dry needling treatments. I am presently going for massage and dry needling, still no relieve. I have since developed a large red patch under my arm. I saw another doc on Saturday who said I am suffering from neuropathic pain and prescribed lyrica. I am starting to suspect that I have shingles. What do you think? Please cancel this query I didnt realize there was a charge for it. ### Response: I understood your concerns no need to worry, just be calm and relax.... Neuropathic pain (also called nerve pain or neuropathy) is very different from pain caused by an underlying injury.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: I am just trying to understand where my back pain is coming from. I feel at the end of 2011 and have had progressing problems ever since.. I had a MRI done 2 yrs ago...it says at L2-3 there is a 1.8mm left lateral disc protrusion that causes mild to moderate left sided foraminal stenosis...At L3-4 there is a 1.4mm Left lateral disc protrusion. this causes mild to moderate foraminal stenosis. At L4-5 there is a 1.5mm bulging disc and facet hypertrophy. this causes mild to moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis...At L5-S1 there is a 1.5mm bulging disc and facet hypertrophy this causes canal and mild to moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis. I went to a few drs they told me nothing was wrong. I had sent my images to the lazer surgery center and they told me that I would need a fusion in this world but that drs would help me...I have been to 3 different nuerosuregons..the last one sent me for a myleogram because I have a spinal stimulator that does not work and he told me that I only have one slight bulging disc and hes not sure where my pain is coming from and to modify my stimulator. My pain management dr told me from my MRI looked like I had a few herinated discs...he then touched my SI joint and I jumped so I know that there is an issue there and he wants to do injections. So what does this MRI tell me? Do u think that the Nuerosuregon is not being completely honest because he doesn t want to do anything because I am too young? The pain is getting progressivly worse and what he is telling me that the Myleogram says does not mesh with my mri or what I feel. My symptoms are like sharp pain in my lower back. Im at an 8 pain all the time. I do get soreness down my butt.. I feel like my nerves are pinched causing leg aches. I haven t gotten any better just worse and we are going on a few yrs. I cant work cuz I can t sit up at a desk like I used to. I also have Fibromaylgia. So any info that u can give me would help.

I gave her Benadryl, tylenol, ibuprophen. She used ice. She is still crying in pain. She feels anything cold hurts more. If I touch her arm she feels like it vibrates down iinto her finger causing more pain. She really is in a lot of pain. There is no swelling beyond her finger being a little swolen. I see no stinger. Is there anything else I can do? I feel like the swelling might be affecting a nerve in her finger. ### Response: Hi, From what you said, your daughter has an insect bite reaction. Usually this will respond to analgesics and antihistamines, which you have already given. In cases not responding, I used to give an injectable antihistamine like Pheniramine and sometime steroids. Kindly see your doctor as these medicines can't be prescribed online. Meanwhile, continue Ibuprofen and keep the limb elevated. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

About 5 month ago some blood came from my chest and after two month again but this time with cough. I went to a doctor and did some test. In my chest X-ray there is a small nodal found in the left mid zone of my chest. I smoke for 10 years. After this I didnt. In last 5 months it happened four times. ### Response: Hi thanks for asking question. This nodule should be concerned as you have also history of smoking since 10 year. First possibility of common infective condition has to be thought like pneumonia or tuberculosis. Chest x-ray and sputum examination along witChatDoctorplete blood examination seems to be useful for rule out this two condition. They are treated accordingly. Second it could be hematoma like lesion. Third it could be benign or malignant tumor. For above two condition USG guided FNAC useful for further work up Fourth it could be fungus ball infection.

I have taken appointment at Columbia asia for 13 Mar 14, as todays appointment was not available . my wife is house wife. pls. suggest emergency medicines for her, sleeping problem, anger and anxity. negativity , endless negative thoughts of past and future . ### Response: Hello, It seems your wife is suffering from depression. Feeling sad, irritable, having sleep disturbances are all symptoms of depression. Most probably, she will need anti-depressants which will take care of her problems. Since most of the anti-depressants take a bit of time to show effect, she can be given some benzodiazepine in the initial phase of the treatment. As a psychiatrist, I would however strongly advise against any self-medication and would suggest meeting a local psychiatrist as soon as possible. Best Wishes |

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: So about two weeks ago on the last day of my period me and my boyfriend almost had sex. He didnt ejaculate anything at all. the tip of him did go inside of me for about 2 seconds. He may or may not have had pre cum but his last ejaculation was about 5 days before this incident so from the research ive done there shouldnt be any sperm in the pre cum right? is there even a chance i could be pregnant? ### Response: Hallow Dear, If any part of his penis has entered into your vagina, the chances of expulsion of pre-cum into your vagina cannot be excluded. Pre-cum do contain some sperms in it which are capable of swimming towards the ovum and cause pregnancy. So if your intercourse was in the fertile window, you have to take precaution by taking emergency contraceptive within 24 hours but not later than 72 hours after the sexual intercourse. Egg release happens 14 days prior to next menses. Considering 24 hours life of egg and 72 hours active sperms, a period of about one week around the day of egg release is considered as Fertile window. If you miss the period, get the urine tested for pregnancy after 8-10 days of missed period. Before that, the test may give false negative results. Beta Sadiq tests are more sensitive and specific which can give you reliable results within 2-3 days of missed period. I hope this helps you. |

My arch hurt a little bit the next day but after motrin and ice felt better. However I am a hairstylist and am on my feet most of the day. A week later my foot is still swollen and purple can this be a fracture or just a tendon that is strained? ### Response: Hello, As per the history, you mentioned it sounds to be a bone hurt. But a hair line fracture cannot be observed from outside, so an x-ray should be taken for confirmation. Hope that should reveal a lot about your injury. Also, if it's a fracture than based on that the treatment plan will be made and if it's not a fracture than with just a brace and little rest for a week or so you should do fine. But do consider that x-ray is a must if your pain doesn't subside for more than 48-72 hours. Better conscious than being predictable. Hope I have answered your query.

You are having pain left side of abdomen with mild fatty liver changes along with kidney stone. The pain could be due to fatty liver which needs life still modification that is weight reduction and diet low in fats. As for as kidney stone is concerned, you have not mentioned the size of kidney stone. If the stone is small that is less than 0.9 mm,chances are that it may pass of itself by taking plenty of water. But if stone is bigger than what I said above, it may need surgical intervention. Homeopathic treatment has no scientific proof may or may not help you. Hope this answers your question. |

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: My lower Right and left quadrents feel like they are tearing. It started with the lower right now has progressed to both sides. I get naseous more at nights, and usually after eating. I feel every once in a while the urge to have a bowel movement, but nothing. I am a 21 year old Female. It is getting to the point where it is waking me up, and hurts to walk. Is it time to see a doctor, or is it something not serious at all? ### Response: Hello! I read carefully your query and understand your concerns. There are many possible causes of this pain in your lower right abdomen that has progressed to both sides .1)It might be related to a problem in digestive tract: it might be appendicitis, diverticulitis, irritable bowel syn Sadiq. 2)It might be due to a condition of urinary tract : urinary tract infection, kidney infection, kidney stones, cystitis etc.3) Or it might due to a condition of your reproductive tract :Problems with the cervix, such as a cervical infection, pain associated with ovulation, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease etc. Since there is this large number of possible causes, associated symptoms, specific characteristic of the pain (the moment of the initiation, the severity, radiation of the pain, the relation with the periods etc.) provide very important information to get to the right diagnosis. Since there has been some days with this pain, and it is getting stronger, I think it is time to consult a physician. A detailed medical history and detailed physical examination are needed. You should run some tests including:-Complete blood count (to evaluate WBC count for a possible infection)-Urinalysis (to exclude urinary infection)-Abdominal ultrasound. I suggest consulting a physician and get examined. Hope my answer has helped. Take care. |

He fell down from the baby cot (3 feet high) 1 month ago, i did not found any bump or swollen part on his head after he fall down and he looks ok and everything act like normal. 1 week later, he fall sick, with fever and vomitting, I brought him to Doctor and told doctor he fell down from bed 1 week ago. Doctor said the sickness due to my baby got frightened and not because of the falling down form bed. 1 month later, we only found out his left side, above the ear part has a big soft bump, I am so worry and bring him to pediatrician. doctor said the bump was due to the fell down from bed and ask us why we only noticed now. she said the soft bump is actually the bleeding in the tissue part, it can only go off several months or remains a smaller size thereafter. she said we can choose to go for CT scan if we worry the bleeding go into the brain. She said since our baby acting normal, we can ignore the scan. Doctor, i am really worry and need more opinion and advice. I really worry the bleeding will affect his growth in future ### Response: Hi, Welcome to Sadiq, I understand your concern. I would like to reassure at the outset not to worry about your child. The sift bump could be due to fall, and it must have been there before also which was not noticeable. The reason you are able to feel it means it's only under skin and not deep inside which is good. Vomiting very unlikely is because of that as it's more than a month since bleed. However, the best thing is to get a Ct brain, so that we can be fully sure her brain is not involved. I would suggest you consult a neurologist or a neurosurgeon for the same. Hope I answered your query and happy to provide any further help. |

We take her to the doctor, they check ears, flu, strep and even pnemonia, always negative. The say must be a virus. Usually goes away in about a day, but then happens again the very next week. She is not in daycare. She stays home with father and 4 year old sister. Why might she be gettin sick so often? Do I need to take her to the doctor every time? ### Response: Hi...by what you say I feel that your son is having recurrent viral illness. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. KIDS GOING TO CZECH ARE MORE PRONE TO THIS SORT OF RECURRENT VIRAL ILLNESS. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Sadiq. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 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 cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25 mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal |

Mind you i am a 28 year old female and only 4 7 at 70 lbs and also have heart issues such as a thickend. Leaflet. A target on the ventriculer of arotic valve, pulmiary hypertebtiin shown in echo, ### Response: 1/-Your high RBC count means your bone marrow is actively trying to produce more & more red cells. This might mean your red cells have short life span & the marrow is trying to compensate.2/-Your low MCV mean that red cells are smaller than usual. This commonly happens in iron deficiency and thalassemia (a hereditary type of anemia associated with short red cell life span due to increase tendency to die in spleen & bone marrow.3 /-Lows MCH means each red cell contain hemoglobin that is less than normal.4/-Your platelet count is definitely normal.5/-Hemolytic anemia is a disorder in which the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the bone marrow can produce them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is hemolysis. There are several causes of hemolytic anemia which can be clarified by further relevant tests. Your heart condition is probably unrelated to hemolytic anemia. Hope you found the information useful. |

My cousin and I are EXTREMELY close, her boyfriend, her, myself, and my boyfriend hang out a lot together. Her and I are 11 yrs apart, but we do everything together. I just moved to Virginia from South Florida about 3 months ago and we have always been close since I was young but now since I am up here and we live together now everything we do is together. She is about 6 weeks pregnant, I have been there since the day we found out she was pregnant. She has symptons such as excessive farting, cramps, is tired a lot her boobs hurt all the time and are getting bigger. She says that she is always hungy and craves vegtables, all the time. Also, she gets her fair share of morning sickness, and crazy dreams. She also trips over her words and forgets things, and her eye twiches. Now, I seem to be having some of these same symptoms, but because I am a girl, I am wondering if I am just having sympathy symptoms or is it a possiblitly that I am indeed pregnant. It is to early to take a pregnancy test, it is to early to test myself becuase I am not supposed to get my period for another week or so. But I know that her boyfriend is having a few of these sympathy syptoms, and he doesn t live with us. But in my case I am wondering if I can have these symptoms even though I am a woman. ### Response: HI, I understand your concern. Sympathy symptoms are called Courage symptoms in male partner of a pregnant lady due to psychological involvement in pregnancy leading to some hormonal changes in would be fathers body. Causing few similar symptoms like pregnant woman. However same hormonal changes are not expected in a near & dear female friends body & are. Not reported. However, intense desire to conceive can cause such changes in a female body longing for childbirth Here also hormonal changes result due to psychological factor is called as Pseudosyesis. IN your case the pregnancy can be confirmed / excluded by blood Sadiq test around expected day of periods /after delay in periods by 8 days (Home pregnancy test). Thanks. |

I have not been on interferon. My problem is severely swollen feet accompanied with redness beginning at the tops of my toes and extending to my lower ankle. could this in any way be attributed to hepatitis or a 10 day cessation of my propranolol? ### Response: Hello, crash, Thanks for contacting Sadiq. You tell us that you have had the diagnosis of Hep-C for over ten years. You also say that you are not on any interferon therapy. I am not sure if you were treated with any anti-viral therapy before. I am also not sure about your liver function tests and viral count. You need these to assess the status of the activity of the virus. There are very effective Sadiq. There are a number of options that you can discuss with a specialist who deals with hepatitis and has experience. Propranolol is a Beta Blocker and can reduce your pulse rate and help anxiety. Swelling of the feet may indicate fluid retention from liver disease, and you may have fluid build up in the abdomen as well. This needs to be checked with a sonogram of the liver and abdomen. If you have not seen your doctor recently, please make an appointment and you can discuss the things that I mention above and take appropriate action to get healthy. I wish you the very best. |

This burn is not regularly happening but its happening once in every 3 months or near to tht interval.I am a 24 yr old , i am very much disturbed with this poblem - please give me a reply sir ### Response: Dear user, Thank you for writing to us. I understand your concern about burning pain after ejaculation. This suggests possibly inflammation of the structures near the urine tube like prostate or other sex organs. Kindly take plenty of fluids orally and sees a urologist or general surgeon near your area to rule out possibility of infection. This can be treated successfully. Use barrier methods (condom) during sex with your partner. If your partner has any symptoms like burning, discharge or itching, then she does require treatment. Wish you good health. |

Sorry to hear about your problem. As far as your question is concerned. Perhaps you know the answer already. Yes if you are having something wrong (infection/inflammation) with your shoulder joint, it is a wise choice to give some rest. It's better that you should visit a local orthopedic surgeon (for investigations for confirmation diagnosis of shoulder joint pathology and an appropriate prescription most probably of anti-inflammatory agent). Also, you mentioned two episodes of having heart attack. So as being a cardiac (ischemic heart disease) patient, it's better to refrain yourself from vigorous exercises (hockey) and heavy weight lifting. Such type of activities can provoke further cardiac event. I would suggest having some brisk walk rather than these exercises. Hoping these few lines might help you. Wishing you best of health.

I can walk on it but for the last few hours it has been painful to do so. It is the front and back sole of the foot causing the problem I think. Can you offer any advise or remedy please.Thankyou,James ### Response: Hello It can be a symptom of condition called plantar fasciitis. However, we have to rule out other conditions before making a diagnosis. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. Soaking the foot in hot water will also help in symptomatic relief. If pain persist, you have to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.

Secondly, try to catch hold the area with fingers and see if you can feel separate lymph. These two tests can tell whether this is gynecomastia or accumulation of fat alone. Ultrasonography of the area can help further. If this is Gynecomastia, only surgical removal can cure it. If this is an accumulation of fat, it can be removed surgically or by liposuction. If this is due to obesity, reduction of the body fat by diet control and increasing exercises can help to reduce this. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: HI doctor, i am 30 yr old male, weighing 83 kg and height of 5.10 feet and non-alcoholic. and have undergone blood test recently in that my SGPT level is High and cholesterol is of 259 in that LDL indicates 173, kindly suggest me to reduce the SGPT as well as cholesterol to normal, ### Response: Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. You are possibly suffering from Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.2. In this condition due to being overweight/obese, fatty accumulation will occur in liver. This fat accumulation occurs due to increased cholesterol and LDL.3. Due to fat accumulation, SGPT levels will raise. A liver biopsy will confirm the diagnosis and ultrasound will show liver enlargement. You need to reduce weight, along with moderate exercises and importantly a nutritional diet, low on fat. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: Hi. I am Kate. My age is 33 years. I have PCOS and usually need to have a withdrawal bleed. Last cycle i went in for fertility treatment and was treated with 100 mg clomid for 5 days + 150 mg Gonal F for 3 days + 225 mg Gonal F for 4 days and on Day 15 was given a trigger shot. But i did not conceive. I also had mild OHSS. THis cycle i visited another doctor on Day 15 of my cycle. He gave me 60 ml of some injectable to release the egg from a follicle 18 mm in size. he said it is not Sadiq . what can it be? Also in the scan he said one follicle is leftover from last time and one is new. Is it possible for him to know this if he hasnt seen the previous scans? He has also asked me to take duphaston 2 tabs from Day 18 to 28. Many thanks - Kate. PS: My height is 5 feet 3 inches and weight is 68 kgs. ### Response: Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. The fact that you always need to be induced to get a period makes me think that you are probably not ovulating naturally. A proper clinical evaluation is needed before initiating medication, more so, as you developed ovarian hyperstimulation with induction. Also, it is important to stay with one doctor whom you find comfortable. Else, your treatment gets haphazard. Metformin is often used before trying induction to see if natural ovulation is possible thus avoiding unnecessary HSS. You are overweight and need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Taking progesterone in the latter half of the cycle in micronized form is safe. A maximum of six cycles with proper monitoring is given for induction of ovulation. Gonadotropin or Sadiq is the medication given to facilitate ovulation. Follicles in different stages of maturity can be seen but cannot be differentiated if they are from a previous cycle. Hope this helps. |

They did not hurt initally, however now after 5 days they are getting painful when i touch them. I am also feeling numbness and tingling on my head. My doctor thinks they may be cysts and has given me an antibiotic. If not cleared up in 2 weeks or becomes painful I should go back. I am just wondering what you think it may be. Both areas are on the left side of the head. one on the back side and one on the top left side of head almost like an L shape. ### Response: Hi! Good evening. I am Sadiq answering your query. Yes, possibly your doctor was right in labeling them as cysts. In the starting, they were not painful, but these got secondarily infected later on giving rise to the pain. These could subside with antibiotics, but could recurrently get infected. Therefore, I would advise you to get these assessed by a general surgeon and get these removed once the infective phase was over on consuming the antibiotic and anti-inflammatory Sadiq. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Psychosis is a chronic and severe psychiatric disorder with remission and exacerbation of symptoms during its course. Due to illness patient have hallucinations, thought disturbance and mood symptoms. All these things make patient to live in imaginary world. In symptomatic phase of illness patient do not have insight regarding illness as they do not consider themselves ill. Due to that they even deny need for any treatment.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: my name is Noor im 26 years old , i had missed abortion and went through D&C last April .. i had my period after 32 days and today im in the 13 day of my cycle .. i did ultrasound my egg is 20mm and my endomertrium is 8mm,, what is my chances to get pregnant again this month?? ### Response: Hi, Welcome to Sadiq. I am Sadiq. I will be answering your concerns today. The ultrasound report is very good. You have a mature follicle. It suggests that may have ovulation in a day or two. From your notes it appears that you have conceived spontaneously earlier. So there is no need to take any medications to initiate ovulation. The endometrial thickness of 8 mm is good too. Do have intercourse either daily or on alternate days starting from today so that you get pregnant. Your husbands' semen analysis is apparently normal as you have conceived before. Not all women trying for baby get pregnant in a menstrual cycle. About 25% of them get pregnant. So your chances of pregnancy in this month are one in four. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer. Best wishes, Sadiq. |

The medications which she is on are for control of seizures. But I am of the opinion that these medications are too much and are in a higher dosage than is required for a child of her age. The giddiness and change in behavior are likely to be due to side effect of these medications. You need to consult a neurologist for optimization of the medications. Good luck |

Ichoke when I eat and have to go spit it out. This is very bothersome. I don t go out to eat anymore because Im afraid I will choke in front of everyone. I do have many allergies but never had this problem. What can I do. ### Response: Thanks for your question on Sadiq. I can understand your concern. Choking in patients with allergy is mostly due to angioedema. It is sudden spasm of muscles of wind pipe and food pipe. Most common cause for angioedema is uncontrolled allergies. So in my opinion, you should consult allergy specialist and get done allergy testing. Best treatment of allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it. So to know the allergens, allergy testing is must. You also need anti-allergic Sadiq. So consult allergist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Infection in the throat may lead to ear by the tube connecting between throat and the ears. Infection in the ear may be presenting with ear pain.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: I developed lung issues after using a cpap machine (had really bad sinusitis duing this time). Now I have been diagnosed with eosinophilic bronchitis, but my lungs feel really bad and when I cough I can taste infection. When i was on amoxycillin for a root canal my lungs felt better, now they are worse again. ### Response: Thanks for your question on Sadiq. I can understand your situation and problem. Eosinophilic bronchitis is mostly allergic in nature. You should first get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. Oral antihistamine and anti-allergic Sadiq. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

They began on his elbows, knees, and palms first. They were very small and his ped. suspected a virus of some sort. In the last week, they have spread and are slightly itchy. They vary in size. The ones on his elbows and knees now look like small warts, however the areas where it has spread look like a rash on his face (without color, just bumps) and his belly. The rash on his belly is red and looks like a heat rash. He does have a problem with dry skin mostly on his legs and feet. He has been using Aveeno body wash for about 2 yrs. This has helped the dryer areas. I have been looking on-line to see if I can find pictures that resemble the bumps, but most of them are too red, purple, or the surrounding skin is affected. In my sons case, the areas are not red, just skin colored, dry feeling bumps. ### Response: Hello, Thanks for the query, It might be a viral rash. It is quite common in chi Sadiq. Treatment is usually symptomatic. No antivirals are needed. Keep applying Aveiro, This will help in faster cure.

Please consult qualified Gynecologist for clinical and per spectrum examination and get culture and sensitivity of the vaginal secretion done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.In the meanwhile start taking antibiotics like Augmenting and Metronidazole twice daily and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

He will play but tires quickly and will lay down. Could his cough be developing into something more serious, such as pneumonia?

Pneumonia can cause weakness and this can cause lower limb pain. Since he is coughing and not improving with treatment, better to rule out pneumonia first.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: My son who is 8 ,has every spring a flare up with asthma and his condition starts to flare into pneumonia, his first attack he ended up in hospital with micoplasma, it appears to happen every spring as the same symptoms occur only last year we got him to the doctors early before things flared up. What is causing this , should I be concerned about his health? He does suffer enviornment allergies. ### Response: Hello. Thank you for asking at Sadiq. I went through your sons' history. From your history, I would suspect allergies first rather than repeated cytoplasm pneumonia infections. I would like to ask a few questions: At what age did his asthma symptoms started? Does he have symptoms only during spring or other part of year also? Is he on any regular medications? Do his symptoms start with fever or without fever? How, in every spring, cytoplasm pneumonia was diagnosed? Does he have allergic rhinitis? Does any of his family members have allergies/asthma? However, from your history, personally I would like to investigate him for allergies to air-borne allergens. Depending upon the reports of the allergy testing, he may be advised avoidance measures and allergen specific immunotherapy if indicated. So my personal opinion to you is to consult an Allergist-Immunologist for identification and management of his allergies. However, if he is really having repeated cytoplasm pneumonia, you should be really concerned about it as it is uncommon in child Sadiq. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish your son the best of the health. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Sadiq. Regards. |

Im now 18 and I worried that it might have returned. I also have a cold at the moment and I have wheezing at night. What should I do? Is it just a cold? ### Response: People with history of asthma have exacerbations with seasonal viral illness of upper and lower respiratory tracts and allergies of upper respiratory tract In your case, it seems upper respiratory tract involvement by viral illness/ allergy with mild wheezing due to exacerbation of pre-existing asthma.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: Hi, I am married for 5 years and planning for a baby. I had irregular menstrual cycle and visited a Gynecologist in a local clinic. I am undergoing treatment from 8 months and now menstrual cycle is regularized, however not conceived yet. Doctor prescribed to take Gestmate 200, Natural Micronised Progesterone Soft Gelatin Capsules. I am little confused about its side effect and its preventing me from getting pregnant. Please let me know if I can continue taking it. ### Response: Hi, Thanks for posting in Sadiq. I understand your concern. Gestate belongs to a class of hormones called progestins, which is a C-21 steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, supports gestation and embryogenesis of humans. Progesterone also does the same function, which helps the implantation of fertilized ovum and further carrying pregnancy further. One of the reason why you might be still having delay in conceiving despite taking these medicines could be issues related to the following: 1. Patency of Fallopian tubes, which needs to be assessed by Hysterosalpingography. 2. Status of the ovary and timing of ovulation by doing follicular studies. 3. Semen analysis of your partner. Kindly consult Infertility specialists with the reports after undergoing the above tests for proper evaluation and management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. |

It has been recommended (by a doctor specializing in Metabolic disorders) that I follow a very strict diet that begins with a liver detox for 6 weeks....and no exercise. Is this a common "treatment" and does it make sense that they want to do blood work every 5-6 weeks as a follow up? ### Response: Hi thanks for contacting Sadiq. Our main aim in fatty liver is to cut off oily diet as liver is site for lipid metabolism. In liver detox diet fatty diet avoided and main focus Is providing zinc, antioxidant etc...so to prevent effect of free radical that has role in fatty liver pathogenesis.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: hii my father was diagnosed with GE junction cancer in may,2010. after diagnosis he went thru operation and then six cycles of chemo. on doing PET scan, it was found that cancer has spread to lungs, and near by spleen.and also near the esophagus. but on doing biopsy of the esophagal region, it shows ulcer. i want to know is it possible that inflammation in lungs and other parts are any other thing, not cancer. what is the prognosis in this case. ### Response: Hi, Thanks for writing in. In simple words, cancers cause inflammation, but every inflammation is not a cancer. Inflammation is a process in which there is a response of the immune system in your body to any undesired condition. Inflammation can be due to infection, loss of blood supply, injury, toxicity and cancer. An ulcer is defined as a break in the surface of skin externally or lining membrane of organs internally. Your father might have an ulcer that is inflammatory but not necessary a cancer. The inflammation in lungs can be non-cancerous but for this a FNAC or biopsy must be done and confirmed. In disease that has spread to lungs and near the spleen it is stage 4 cancer and with recommended treatment and supportive care survival can be extended by up to two years. Please do not worry. |

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Input: Is knee pain while sleeping a common problem ? . It seems when I sleep on my side ( and do most of the time ) my left knee will start to pain me , so then the pain will wake me up , and once that starts it goes on all night . What can I do about this ? . Thank you ### Response: Hello, What I understand by the history is there is some imbalance within the knee joint leading to such symptoms. Firstly I would like to know what is your age? Are you having high blood pressure? Are you diabetic? Have you met any accident or injury to knee recently or in the past? Since all this question remains unknown what I feel is there is instability of the knee joint and that needs correction. Trying out wearing a knee brace in the night before sleeping should help avoid any unwanted pressure on the internal structures of the knee. Next, I will recommend you to do a checkup with an orthopedist for physical examination of the knee. Also, doing strengthening exercise for the knee will be of great help to get the stability of the knee joint and avoid unwanted abnormal pressures. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Sadiq. |

Overall healthy. My right side shoulder hurts when I move it towards should level. It hurts when I sleep on my right side. It also hurt when I look to the right (towards the end of the rotation). It has been 3 months. I do not remember any injury hapenned. I just woke up and it hurts. I took neck x-ray and my chiropractor said it will take time to heal. All he did was crack my neck to left and right and do the machine that vibrate on my shoulder. He told me to ice it and take warm shower. Is there anything else I could do? ### Response: Hi, Thanks for your query. Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of Adhesive capsulitis(Frozen shoulder) or Calcific tendonitis. These conditions are easily managed by regular physiotherapy (Range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises). Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedic nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Your doctor after diagnosing the condition might refer to you a physical therapist. A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query.

The ulcers have healed superficially by crusting but when she cries the stretching causes the deeper areas to open up and bleed. I am not sure what blood tests were done, but it is worthwhile to have a specialist pediatrician see her and take a swab of the culture and add a Sadiq. And some soothing creams to lessen the pain. |

I have a bad head cold. Its slowly getting better but I have tons of mucous coming from all areas. My nose is blowing thick almost glue like mucous, coughing some of it up (all of this gradually clearing up), but my question is about the extra drainage coming from my eyes and the thick white vaginal mucous ( non fish smelling, non itching but slight almost ammonia smell and lots of it). Is all of this extra mucous and discharge normal from a strain of this bad cold/virus or do I have a few things going on? Thank you! ### Response: Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorYou may want to consider the use of a bucolic. This is a medication that helps to break down mucus so that it may be more easily expelled. There are different types including: goofiness, bipolar, Mucomyst, Aeroflot. You can speak to your local pharmacist to find out which one is available in your area. In addition, it is important to make sure that you use enough fluids because this would also help to decrease thickness.Thank you. |
