PCOS, fertyl, polyphene injection, no ovulation, now on fertyl super, 3 polypene injection, ovulation possible ?
hi... i m 26 year old. i have Pcos . I am married from 6 months. last month i was put with fertyl 100mg once a day for 5 days and polyphene injection . i did not ovulate. this month she has put me with fertyl super and 3 polypene injection on 7th , 9th and 11th day. will i be able to ovulate this time? | you need to undergo serial ultrasound examination for follicular study,and see when the follicle ruptures. After few ovulation induction trials for about 6 months if still it doesn't work, you can go for diagnostic laparoscopy, chromopertubation and laparoscopic drilling of ovarian cysts.However it needs to be carefully accessed by your healthcare provider. | |
Can precum overflow to the base of condom. Any chance of pregnancy?
Please help. My bf & I had sex with a condom, but for some reason (sry to be graphic) ..video taped it. He didn't ejaculate, checked the condom w/ water & it was fine. Decided to watch the tape & saw a thick white fluid at the base of the condom. Likelihood of pregnancy? I just realized it is the middle of the month & I'm due for my next period in less than 2 weeks. I have been very stressed due to a loss in my family. My last period was Sept. 16th & lasted a week. I'm nervous & need reassurance that the fluid was mine & not his. Can pre-cum overflow to the base of the condom like that? | Hi,From history it seems that fluid you saw might be due to normal vaginal discharge at the time of sex due to sex excitement but at the same time having some semen coming out from condom is equally possible.And again you had sex during your most fertile period which again increases the risk of having pregnancy.Ok and take care. | |
Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex?
Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |
Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion.
Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. | Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> | |

Suggest treatment for shortness of breath and pleural thickening seen in chest x-ray
I have an x ray finding; Pleural thickening at left, and I experience shortness of breath sometimes and mild but usual back pain, I have an allergic rhinitis, and been treated from acute bronchitis and newly had mild asthma.Please! What is the basic treatment this kind of problems? Am I still capable to work as a skilled worker? | Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, your all these problems are treatable but you need to take drugs for longer period of time. No need to worry for pleural thickening. It is not a disease. For asthma and bronchitis, in my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is not only diagnostic but will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of these diseases is based on severity only. You will need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Oral combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs are also indicated in your case. Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |
What causes chest pains with blood in mucus?
hi,i am 22 years old,female and i am smoking from 1 year and from 2 weeks i was suffering form cold and cough,sometime my chest also starts paining while coughing violently and sometime i throw while coughing but to my surprise today while coughing i throw again and when i spit over my vomit i see two drops of blood on there,i am so afraid please help me!and i have no medical history too as far as i know!thanks! | Brief Answer:Your symptoms are more likely caused by acute bronchitis.Even though, you should see a pneumologist.Detailed Answer:Hello,Thank you for using HCM. I understand your concern.A cough is a common cold symptom. It's the body's way of getting rid of phlegm or mucus. But as your cough persists and is associated with dyspnea (respiratory difficulties) and coughing up blood, you need to see pneumologist. He will make a accurate physical examination of the lungs and will guide you into further examinations needed.You may need a chest radiography, full blood count and sputum examination.There are different causes of coughing up blood such as: bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, some reumatologic disorders, pulmonary thromboembolism ect. Bronchitis is the most common cause and the most probable in your case. Coughing up blood due to bronchitis is rarely life-threatening. So don't be to much worried. Your symptoms can be made worse by smoking. So, don't smoke and don't allow others to smoke in your home.Stay away from or reduce your time around things that irritate your nose, throat, and lungs, such as dust or pets.Hope this is helpful.Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.Kind Regards, Dr. Juarda | |

If you had the induced medical abortion under the surveillance of a specialist and had a follow-up sonogram to exclude residual products, this spotting is not related. It is possible that you may have conceived again without having a period after the abortion. It is also possible that you may be experiencing hormone imbalance or some local causes resulting in the spotting. A proper evaluation by an expert will clarify the situation. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Shanti Vennam | |
Paralysis, gastrostomy, tracheostomy. Blockage of urine catheter, milky white urine. Home remedy?
DEAR SIR My father is suffering paralysis with gastrostomy and treachstomy Form last one week we are facing blockage of urine catheter due due to white milky urine (I think it should be pus cells ) so request you please advice me which home remedy to reduce pus cells and how to flush this catheter ( RS saline and Bitadine is sufficient to flush the catheter ?) thanks Sunl | Hello Sunl adn welcome The cause of blockage of catheter is most probably a Urinary track infection. You cannot do much at home to remove this but by flushing the catheter with normal saline every hrly will help you. Also change the catheter after every 4-5 days. Also give plenty of fluid to flush the urinary pathway but keep a record on total intake and output of fluid. In my opinion you must consult your doctor and give him a proper antibiotic to overcome from the infection. Hope this will help you. Best Wishes | |

What causes pain in knee and heels?
age 31 height 165 and weight 68.6. Hi doctor .. for the past few months i am having severe knee pain and also in my heels too , what could be the reason i took an x ray and they say its due to some muscles problem ,,bone getting slightly pushed to a diffrent angle by the muscles.. could you please help me.. that doctor asked me to do som eexercise to strengthen ,, now that my other line is paining very badly could you please help me | Hi, As you hadn't mentioned any causative factor for this pain like jogging or running we take it to be of idiopathic in nature. The most common cause for such pain is vitamin-D deficiency or early arthritis. Since as per your doctor you don't have any features of arthritis in your X-ray, so we are left with vitamin d deficiency alone. All you need to do is to take vitamin-D supplementation along with calcium for a period of 6 weeks after confirming the diagnosis with vitamin-D estimation. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon | |

I have always had panic attacks and stress and I am not sure where to go from here.My blood pressure and heart rate are great. I do get exhausted when climbing stairs.

What causes pain in the mouth post a crown lengthening?
I had crown lengthening 1 year ago and stilll have mouth face pain. It was done on the bottom back tooth. I went to see a couple of maxillo facial surgeons. None would give me a cause or diagnosis of the problem. My GP said I had neuralgia. He put me on nerve medication. I even feel burning in the eye. I was not told of these possible after effects ...Could all this be because of removing too much bone ? Anyhow all these dentists cover for the brotherhood of dentists. I would never recommend this procedure to anyone. I don't think these so-called professionals should be ruining the body to save a tooth. I don't know if something wrong was done or it is just this procedure that causes these awful after effects of burning, pulling etc... | Hi,Thanks for posting the query, I would suggest you to relax sometimes pain can reccur after dental procedures you need to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics, take tab almox TDS tab Dicloserratiopeptidase BD , tab omee BD for three to five days and look for the results.Also take an x-ray of the tooth and take a second opinion from another Dentist.Take care! | |
Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD?
Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | |
Will surgery help the chronic pancreatis?
I have been diagnosed with gall stones and chronic pancritis. I am 85 and do not have pain,but they suggest that I have surgery to remove the stones. I also have Diabetes (no meds) just diet and exercise to keep the blood sugar down. It is fine. Will the surgery help the chronic pancritis? That worries me more than the stones. I have a small cyst on the Pancreas which they say is benign. | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.You see, chronic pancreatitis is characterised by calcification of the pancreas, hence the stones.It often destroys the insulin secreting apparatus and hence often worsens the blood glucose control mechanism . There are many operations like Puestow's operation , distal pancreatectomy , Whipple's operation depending on the portion of the pancreas affected. Surgeries definitely help in chronic pancreatitis.The cyst in the pancreas is probably a sequale to the acute pancreatitis which you had initially. Do not worry about that.Do not worry.I would suggest you to visit a gastro-surgeon. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically and guide on the management options.Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health. | |

What causes indicated lesions on the pancreas and liver?
My brother recently had a CAT scan of his liver, pancreas, lungs and prostrate at a respected local Providence, RI, hospital. Some of the results, I was told, indicated lesions on his pancreas & liver, with his lungs flat on bottom/each lobe; his prostrate numbers were slightly elevated. Also informed by his doctor that his liver looked irritated . He has since been scheduled for a liver biopsy 6/18 and PET scan 6/20. Can CAT scans show inaccurate results? | Hi and welcome to HCMWell, I am not sure what liver irritation means exactly but I suppose this is fibrosis or cirrhosis and in this case this is caused by alcohol, fatty liver or hepatitis.

Q. How long should my husband and I wait to try for a baby if we did cocaine?
Hello doctor,I am trying to conceive but my husband and I did cocaine a week ago. How long should my husband and I wait to safely continue to try to get pregnant? How long until it is out of our system? How long does cocaine stay in sperm? Thanks in advance. | Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD?
Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | |

What to do for the abnormal behavior?

Suggest treatment for dry, chesty cough of a 18 week baby
My 18 week old son has recently developed a dry chesty cough and sounds croaky when he babbles. Is this something I should be worried about or just a case of a simple cough/cold? It doesn t seem to bother him other than his grizzly behaviour, but it does sound like it should be hurting. Is there anything I can do to help relieve these symptoms? | Hi..can you elaborate the symptoms further? I mean is there increased abdominal movements or chest in drawing? Does the child have fever? Is there irritability or lethargy or decreased breast feeding? If everything is fine then this can be simple coryza. I would advise you to watch for the danger signs which are mentioned above. Also you should visit a pediatrician and get the child examined to rule out any significant chest findings. In the meantime continue with breast feeding so that the hydration is maintained. Thanks. Please let me know if I can guide you further. | |

What probiotics is suggested for patients with yeast infection?
Just had my embryo transfer done on Friday. What type of probiotic should I take for my yeast infection...which was caused from the antibiotics?Today I bought produra 10 billion bacillus coagulans...walgreens brand probiotic pro gels is this safe for implantation | Hello Madam,Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases, but human body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. Yeast infections often follow a dose of antibiotics, since in addition killing the bacteria that's making you sick, the medicine also kills bacteria that are normally found in your body, and leading to the overgrowth of the yeast.Regarding your implantation, the usage of probiotics doesn't cause any problem, on the contrary. You can use safely the product you bought.Hope I helped with my answer. Feel free to ask again.Take Care,Dr. Ina Zaimi | |
Q. Please suggest some remedies to prevent the shrinkage of anus.
Hi doctor, I am a 24-year-old woman suffering from hemorrhoids. I have a feeling that my anus is reducing in size. My doctor has advised me to do a surgery for removing it.

If the pain is severe, then an oral anti-inflammatory drug can be taken. Topical Lignocaine jelly can be applied if there is severe pain. You can use anal water sitz bath in lukewarm water for piles. | |

Also spinal cord is about to be compressed or about to be damaged due to protrusion of cartilages which are part of the back bone. Spinal cord is extension of brain into back bone and if it gets damaged(not at present) this may lead to paralysis in future | |
Q. I was informed that my baby's head is not yet fixed for normal delivery. Please explain.
Hi doctor, I am 26 years old, and this is my first pregnancy. I am in my 39th week, and my due date is by next week. When I consulted my doctor, she said that the baby is healthy, and the head is in down position only, but the head did not fix yet. She asked me to wait till due date and then she suggested for C-section. Is there any possibility to avoid C-section? | Hi. Let me give you a few basic facts of pregnancy and delivery. As it is your first pregnancy, the uterus is experiencing the process of delivery for the first time. Baby's head is the only thing in the whole world which can decide if the outlet of your pelvis or the hip bone or the way out through the bone is enough for this baby, it may be different for next baby with different weight. Delivery is not those few hours which you spend in the labor room. The uterus starts to contract more and more frequently, gradually the cervical canal opens, becoming softer day by day and on the part of the baby, the head turns a few mm in angles and directions trying to fit into the bony pelvis. It is like trying to fix a tight cover to a cushion. It has to be manipulated in all different angles till the right angle is got. Usually, God sends baby that fits the mother, unless you have some other problems changing the size of baby or mother's pelvis. It is called engagement. If the size is not fitting well, then baby's head will keep floating above the pelvic bone. If you force it, then it can cause distress in the baby. In this time keep a watch for four things. If none of these are seen, then you can wait till due date and definitely try for vaginal. Happy motherhood in advance. All the best.

Suggest treatment for hair fall
hi, i am 21 year old i am facing hairfall from 7years.hairfall happens more on applying oil ,after oiling on rinsing with shampooand combing.iam very much worried plz help me .i also face the problem of irregular motion or late motion.right now i am taking evion capsules daily. | Hello,Thank you for posting on HCM.I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, acute or chronic medical conditions,drugs,cosmetic products etc.Since you have not mentioned relevant history and description like sex, pattern of hair loss(patchy/diffuse), family history etc, its difficult to put a definitive diagnosis. Still, it seems you are suffering from either Androgenetic alopecia (due to hormones and genetically determined) or Telogen effluvium (Due to any recent stressful event or any other medical condition)If i were your dermatologist/trichologist, i would like to take through history including family history, history of recent major trauma /illness/ stress/ medications etc, your menstrual history and recommend some basic investigations like CBC,blood sugar,Thyroid function test.Also some other special tests like trichogram and dermoscopy can aid in diagnosis and prognosis.I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals (Tab. Follihair new) for minimum 6 months. Also, would put you on solution containing 5%/10% minoxidil once a day and a hair serum/gel containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera, Grocapix etc). I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.Also enquire from your dermatologist about upcoming treatment options like mesotherapy and platelet-rich plasma.Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryers and hair-color/dyes. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life.Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.Thank youDr Hardik Pitroda | |

Its been 3 days & I have had major headaches , back pain & a little bit of nausea . Is there any chance I could get pregnant ? | Dear Ms, the days immediately after your period are not the days of ovulation . this means that your ovary doesn't produce ovum in the days just after your period. there is no need to worry as even if your boyfriend has ejaculated inside you there is no chance that you get pregnant | |

Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion.
Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. | Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> | |

What to use for radial nerve palsy,wrist splint & shoulder sling?
My son has radial nerve palsy & can not extend his wrist. The emergency room gave him a basic wrist splint & shoulder sling.

He starts occupational therapy In 3 days & has had this condition for 5 days with no improvement. Now has some clawing deformity & 4th & 5th digits crossing over. We do daily passive ROM & gentle massage to upper extremity. | If your son has a new radial nerve palsy without a preceeding trauma or a bone fracture, you should see a neurologist today.

Was out of breath, have complex partial epilepsy. Seizure risks?
I have complex partial epilepsy and night before last I woke up completely out of breath. I got to the hallway and called out for my husband because the feeling I was having was exactly like prior to a seizure. For the first time ever I was able to get my breath back and calm down and did not go into seizure. I think I am holding my breath while sleeping. | Hello, This episode could have been an aborted seizure. Sometimes a seizure starts and doesn't go on to the full typical attack and stops early and that is called an aborted attack. It means that the medications you are taking is not adequate for you. For a good control even aborted attacks should not occur. And on other hand it means that the medication is acting and thats why you didn't have full attack. I don't think it has anything to do with holding breath while sleeping. You can visit your neurologist and he will advice the necessary change in medication. Good luck. | |

Suggest remedy for pain in the left side of my chest
Hi Dr,I'm a 29 yo rather active mail who the last week have sensed an increasing chest pain on the left side of my chest. It's at a point where I now have trouble moving at certain angles. It might be related to an exercise I tried at the gym a week ago but unlikely. I went on a flight yesterday after a weekend in Spain with lots of alcohol etc. I just want to know if you think this is a muscle I've stretched or if people who suffer eg. sudden cardiac death often sense symptoms a while before. Ps My lifestyle is as said active; I jog, go to the gym but also drink alcohol at weekends and smoke cigarettes at times. I work as a sales manager of a smaller team but don't feel overloaded at work. Thank you for your answer | Hello dear, thanks for posting your query here.Most likely your pain seems musculoskeletal for which you should not worry much. But still you must see your doctor and get an ECG done and take some muscle relaxants.Now coming to your lifestyle, you are having good active lifestyle but your alcohal binges are not at all good, so you try to cut down it as binge drinking is very harmful. And of course, smoking is the worst part of your lifestyle which you should completely quit without any delay even if you smoke only occasionally.Hope this would help you and all the best for your more healthy lifestyle. | |
