Flank pain, burning sensation, tingling. Caused due to messed up TSH?
I had thyroid cancer and removed in 2005. But now I have 0.038 tsh 4 free and normal TSH- the doctor said I was being over treated and decreased the dose. That is Ok. But I have flank pains, burning sensations, and tingling . I went to ER to have brain MRI to rule out MS/TIA and had xray on my side and stomach areas. Everything was normal. Is it possible that flank plans, burning, and tingling were caused by messed up TSH (I had a baby 7 months ago, got IUD and it got messy--I was on BC 2-3 times a day for 8 weeks and decided to take out IUD and stopped BC when the flank and burning showed up. Now bleeding is just fine. but still burning and flank pains.) I asked my endocrinologist and said it s not TSH related. Is this correct? | These symptoms are not likely related to TSH or thyroid hormones. Have they done a urinalysis to rule out infection? | |
What causes abdominal pain?
I have intermittent, sharp burning pain on my lower left abdomen radiating down into my upper thigh. I am a female athlete (aged 55 today!)--daily vigorous spin classes and 2 hours of weight lifting a week. I am hoping it is a sports hernia instead of ob/gyn. I am post menopausal with a history of uterine fibroids. I had a successful myomectomy (minimally invasive) in 2008 with no complications. I have had a small ovarian cyst for years which has never been troublesome. I have had an unremarkable menopause. Thank you. | Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a detailed clinical examination I would advise you for a routine blood sugar and CBC, routine/microscopic/and culture sensitivity test of your urine, and an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out a UTI (urinary tract infection) and any other intra-abdominal/pelvic pathology. Further management would depend on the results of investigations.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 health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef. | |

Does frequent masturbation affect in future?
hi sir..... im pramod aged 28 years from karnataka(INDIA)....i had habbit of masturbuting. since 10 year im doing the same....is there any problem in future.... plz suggest me is there any proper treatment for the problems if it cause....n plz will u tell me wat kind of treatment i'll get from experts | HiThank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Masturbation doesn't cause any problems in future. But if you do it in excess it should be controlled. In such case it will have psychosocial issues. Getting yourself involved in some hobbies, talking to some one, making friends all help. Avoid being alone as this can create the feeling for masturbation. Playing games like badminton or volleyball , doing exercises like jogging or swimming etc will exhaust your excess energy in body and there by decrease the feeling to masturbate. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks. | |

It does not happen a lot and does not seem at all predictable. Also, it does not go on for a long time, just a couple of seconds. | Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Ideally ecg and 2d echo should be donedone first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases. It could be anxiety induced as well if everything else is normal. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

Protruding growth on tongue, prescribed mouth wash cured, again came, had Kidney infection stone and cyst. Cancer?
I had a large protruding smooth growth on right side of my tongue. It was painful so I asked my dentist to look at it while he was doing some dental work. He gave me some mouthwash and said if it doesn't go away come back. It went away within a couple of days. Tonight I noticed a white skin tag under my tongue. I looked because it was painful and I thought it might be a cold sore. I have not had a coldBut I recently had a kidney infection. I also have a lkidney stone and a kidney cyst. What is this whir skin tag? I want to know that it is NOT cancer. I've never smoked. | Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. If this white bump ( skin tag ) is on the same site of previous growth then it is a cause of concern. If this is fresh then it may be ,1 candida infection . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a an E N T so consult an E N T and get his opinion and treatment . In my opinion this is not a cancer ulcer according to history.You mentioned that there are kidney infection and cyst. If you are taking antibiotics for kidney infection then this may be a side effect of antibiotics . In that situation you have to consult your treating physician . So deal according to condition. Good luck. Dr. HET | |

Can i go for artificial insemenation at home? Is it safe? | Hi welcome to HEALTHCAREMAGIC.i have gone through your question.As your husband suffers from phimosis then I would advise that it should be treated surgically with operation. As phimosis also causes urinary infection sometimes.

Stopped Nordette due to migraine and weakness. Had sex. Is it still effective?
hi i have a prob im just a student en me and my gf had sex and right aftr that night few hours aftr sex she take nordette she has taken it for 7days then she stop because of severe migraine and weakness then today is her period and she missed she takes nordette again my question is, is it ok or still effective to take nordette? is she pregnant ? ? because she missed her period? we did it feb. 1 she taken nordette for 7 day aftr we had sex then stop continued again feb 10 is she pregnant? bcoz she missed her period? plsss i BEG you answer my question pls? thanks alot doctors i beg 4 ur help :( | Hello, Nordette is not an emergency contraceptive and as such, if ovulation had already occurred prior to its use, conception can occur. It is a regular oral contraceptive. If she has regular 28-32 day cycles, you had intercourse during the fertile period, and so, the chances of conception are higher. I advice you to get a pregnancy test and follow it up with a trans-vaginal sonogram, if positive and get further help from your doctor. Take care. | |

What causes dizziness?
While I was away, my husband woke up in the night to use the washroom and was so dizzy that he fell to the ground. He felt dizzy until he went back to bed. He was fine in the morning and has been ok ever since. He did not go to the hospital. He thinks he had this spell, because he had been working long and late hours. He is 64 years old. | Hello dear,I am getting it like your husband had this single episode of dizziness and as you mentioned that it improved once he went back to bed, it appears to be somehow related to posture.It may be an episode of postural hypotension or syncope.Cardinal features in an episode of syncope are premonitory symptoms of palpitations,excessive sweating and paleness on face just before the episode.Characteristically,patient with syncope have a transient loss of consciousness,for a few seconds following which he regains consciousness.Another differential to think of in this case can be of an atypical form of seizure,but that is a remote possibility.Was this dizziness associated with sudden neck flexion or extension or lateral flexion?If yes,possibility of a benign vertigo can be considered.Is your husband having any ear problems like ringing in the ears,hearing loss?If yes,this may be associated with such an episode.Is your husband a diabetic?Diabetics may have autonomic dysfunction,which may cause this.Some drugs can also cause this type of problem.Please visit a neurologist,he may examine and take detail history and do simple firstline tests like screening for hypotension with postural drop.He will definitely be of help.Please ask further if you feel so. | |

Q. Can Neurontin be the reason for high WBC count?
Hi doctor, My husband, who is 49, had blood work done. It shows a WBC count of 40,000, which has been checked twice now. His doctor wants to send him to see a specialist. He has had no recent infections. There is no change in his appetite and no weight loss. He feels fine. He has been on Neurontin for 3-5 months now for neuralgia and in researching it; it says it can cause an increase in WBC count. He had been on Tegretol for neuralgia before. Could this cause it? Of course, our main concern is, could it be leukemia? | Hi. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: Yes, Neurontin - Gabapentin is known to cause high WBC (white blood cell) count. If there is no infection, then it is common to worry about leukemia when the WBC count is high. At present, the best idea is to get a peripheral blood smear report done. If there is no increased immature form like blasts, then it is a Neurontin side effect. If immature blasts present, then he will require further evaluation.The cause is probably Neurontin; however, get a peripheral smear to calm your mind. For further information consult a hematologist online --> | |

Q. l got a sore hard lump after the removal of wisdom tooth. Is it normal?
Hello doctor,I just got one side of my wisdom teeth removed both upper and lower six days ago, and I have another one scheduled after two days for the left side. The upper is 100 % fine, which they pulled. The lower they pulled the tooth without removing the root because it was too close to the nerve. I do have some stitching in this area currently on the lower cheek. Noticed a hard lump about 1 inch between my lower jawline and cheek area. Is this normal because of swelling or something else. Currently taking Amoxicillin 500 mg and Ibuprofen 600 mg. Please let me know what this hard lump is, also generally on the lower side where this lump is, remains sore. | Hello. The lump is mostly a hard swelling which forms postsurgical removal of the wisdom tooth or maybe even by swollen lymph nodes due to infection. It takes a week or two for the swelling to subside. Sometimes, if the root is still inside, the infection may be remaining there causing swelling. Get an X-ray done to find out the exact problem and stronger antibiotics like Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) along with a painkiller for a week. For more information consult a dentist online --> | |

What causes chronic hip/lower back pain and constipation?
hi my dad has severe pain on left hand side hip/lower back area.initial x-ray showed possible hip bone crumbling but physio has since said she thinks it may be a slipped disc pushing on a nerve. his left leg is so weak he cant walk on it,he is also constipated and keeps losing his balance. he has been waiting nearly 2 months for a scan. What do you think it could be? | Hi,The symptoms your dad is experiencing is due to lumbar radiculopathy. However a complete neurological examination is required so that he can be assessed more clearly. There must be huge protrusion of a disc which is compressing the nerves that supply his leg causing severe symptoms. (Although there can be various other causes but this is the most likely). You should definitely get a MRI scan done of his lower back immediately and follow up with the Neurosurgeon/ Spine surgeon and he will require decompression surgery as soon as possible. | |
Trying to conceive. Prescribed ovaa shield, folic acid. History of irregular periods. How to increase fertility?
hi, i have irregular periods problem. now trying to conceive. my doctor suggested ovaa sheid ds, apcod, folic acid and ycst tablets. will there be any side effects due to this tablets. my last period is on 28th Dec 2012, please let me know when is the best time to have intercourse to increase pregnancy chances. thanks. | Hello thanks for your query There are many causes of irregular periods. You should be investigated thoroughly to rule out all of them Exercise, stress, anxiety, fluctuations in weight and age around 40 are chief causes. Polycystic ovaries can cause irregular cycles for which various hormonal assays are necessary for diagnosis. Thyroid disorder, adrenal disorder can cause this. Also, some disease within the uterus or ovaries can also lead to irregular cycles. The medications prescribed to you act empirically, and are not known to cause any side effects. However, you should consult a proper Infertility specialist, to get all investigations done, also your partners semen testing and tests to know if both your tubes are open. As your cycles are irregular, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the days of ovulation, around which, intercourse leads to maximum chances of pregnancy. Also with irregular periods, it is very likely that you might not be ovulating at all. Please consult an infertility specialist, who would perform follicular monitoring by ultrasound for you, and hence advise best days for trying to conceive, as well as treatment for anovulation. 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. | |

What causes weight gain and lightheadedness with a decayed molar tooth?
I have a molar tooth that will need to be extracted. It has decayed to where half the tooth is damaged/chipped. My question is I have gained a lot of weight even though I work out and track calories and have had lots of light headedness. Could these symptoms be connected with the tooth? | Hello,I can understand your concern. Tooth decay is never associated with weight changes and lightheadedness. Tooth decay can be associated with food impaction in the tooth, sensitivity to hot and cold food, pain during chewing, at night or all the time and referred pain can be felt in ear or temple. Other than these, other symptoms are not associated with the decayed tooth and should be checked by a physician for other diagnosis related to hormonal system and blood pressure. I would recommend to consult a physician before tooth extraction as lightheadedness due to blood pressure changes can cause complications during extraction and hormonal issues such as thyroid and diabetes should also be cleared or kept under control with medications, if present, before extraction. If the tooth causes pain by the time other issues are solved, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg or Ketorolac 10 mg up to thrice a day for pain relief. Do not do heat compressions or hot/warm water gargles.I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.Best,Dr. Viraj Shah | |
I have a lump in my neck throat, how to get rid off it
I have been a cancer patient since 2006, with Lymphoma, however have been in remission since late 2008. I have just discovered a new lump in my neck/throat area that has brought on swelling and pain to the area. With that, I don't have insurance to go see an oncologist currently, and with the pain from the lump from simply burping or swallowing, difficulty breathing at times, and difficulty talking (the vibrations send pain extremely horribly). I have a very high tolerance level for pain but at times its unbearable. Furthermore, my husband heard me wheezing while I slept a bit. I have checked my tonsils, nothing out of the ordinary there, no sore throat. Mainly the symptoms are pain in the neck/throat, a lump or two in that area, swelling, difficulty breathing, swallowing, talking. I am on the verge of going to the ER without any other options. I have tried Tylenol for pain, and IB Profen for swelling, ice wet rag, and none of it has worked for me. I'm concerned that when I go to the hospital they will send me home because I don't have a current oncologist for admitting me to do any tests. If I can get any help, advice or anything on what to do, what to try, whether or not to go to the ER, and what to expect, possible causes I would appreciate it. There was no trama or injury at all to that area. Please Help. Sincerely, In Pain | since you are a cancer patient the swelling and the pain seems to be the reactivation of the cancer of the lymph. you need to visit ER and get the basic emergency tests done to rule out the other possible causes and as such you have breathing difficulty it is strongly advocated to have a visit to ER | |

Is pregnancy possible after tubectomy done?
Hi mam good afternoon!My name is K.Sujatha 28 yrs and I have 2 female children age 10 and 6 (two scissors) and kids and Tubectomy done. My periods were irregular from last few months, this time 45 days no periods yet, I have reported in hospital, they asked to go for a pregnant test? Is pregnancy possible after tubectomy done? Dr . Sir advised for some another tests such as TSH,FSH,LH,PRC and USG " pelois "? Please advise me ? | Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If you had a tubectomy (which I'm assuming is a procedure performed on your fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy), your chance of conceiving is close to zero. That is why tubectomy is regarded as a method of permanent sterilization.Many hospitals routinely do pregnancy tests on women of reproductive age regardless of their history when they are initiating treatment of some other issue. This is usually done because many types of other physicians are uncomfortable in treating women who are pregnant, and they want to find out about the pregnancy early before you receive any other medical treatment.Irregular periods can happen to any woman and can because by hormonal irregularities. That is the reason why your doctor advised for those other tests like the TSH, FSH, LH, and others. A USG (gynecologic ultrasound) of your pelvis is simply a test to look at the shape and size of your uterus tubes and ovaries. This is sometimes used in evaluation of an irregular menstrual cycle.So in summary, the pregnancy test you received in the hospital is more due to hospital policy than your actually having a risk of pregnancy. The other tests- the hormonal tests and ultrasound (usg) are simply part of evaluation of your irregular periods.I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was reassuring. Let me know if I can assist you further.Best wishes,Dr. Brown | |

Suggest remedy for the fallen part tooth
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... PLEASE HELP! Part of my tooth fell out on the lower right side of my mouth months ago-no insurance or finances to pull the rest out. There is a piece that was left with a point that has been rubbing against the right side of my tongue and irritating my tongue-making it quite sore and causing some pain and bleeding. The right side of my throat and into the right side of my head aches so much at night I am finding it hard to sleep. I think I am infected and could die. I am alone much of the time so I am frightened. Also I had a cyst about the size of a nickle removed 12 years ago from the center of my chest. It was benign. Several years later it grew back and it is bigger now. Please tell me what I need to do about these problems and please suggest a doctor or a hospital in New Orleans where I can go to get some type of inexpensive help. | Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. When a part of tooth is fallen the rest of its cusp becomes sharp, that is why it is causing soreness of tongue.

You should also start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better.I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes. | |
What causes tiny bumps on the jaw?
Hi, I believe i m being a bit paranoid lately, My first child was recently born and i ve suffering anxiety over my issue. My wife tells me it s nothing but over my right side top teeth located on my gums, i noticed a small raised bump painless and to the right looks like a small painless flesh colored raise of tiny bumps on the light. I really had to focus on it to see it in the mirror. I occasionally smoke, and not really an alcohol drinke, and recently ate spicy foods. I also noticed the same tiny cluster on the corners of my mouth not really visible to the eye until i use my tongue to raise my lower lip to see it in the light. Please regard my question it been driving me nuts. !!! | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The tiny bumps over the gums could be because of parulis(pus discharging sinus tract) or exostoses, or frictional keratosis.Nothing to worry, consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. If these is a pus dischrging sinus tract then get the cause treated. If there is exostosis, nothnig to worry, it will not trouble you.I hope my answer will help you, take care. | |
What is the treatment for loose motion in a baby?
I have a 6 weeks and a day old son. His poop for the last couple of weeks has been a little on the watery side. He is not showing any discomfort and has no symptoms of any illness. But it has not stopped but has not gotten any worse. He is on formula. Drinking 3.5oz every 4hrs. Weight is about 8.12 to 9lbs | HiPassing stool once in 4 days or 7-8 times a day is normal in early infancy,if it is not associated with vomiting,abdominal distension or poor feeding.The weight of your baby is appropriate for this age and the amount of feed is also normal.I would like to know if there is any recent change in formula or is the dilution of formula milk is proper.Improper dilution or change in formula can cause some alteration in bowel motion.Giving probiotics(helps in maintaining the gut flora)helps in normalisation of bowel motion.So observe the baby,watch for signs of dehydration like decreased urine output,poor activity or decreased feed and don't get worried if baby is otherwise normal.Regards | |
What causes ganglioneuroblastoma?
Hi, my son has been diagnsed with Gaglineuromablastoma- Doctor said it has benign cells, Pathology and Histology are favourable and my son has no symtons - there is a mass of 7 by 10 cm in sympathatic nerves - doctor said he is not too worried - doesnt recommend surgery and says he will monitor it in 3 months with another MRI. I am worried as I read evrywhere that surgery is the best treatment for this. Please advise. | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.Yes, surgery is the only option for cure so I am sure that there was some missunderstanding with doctors. Sometimes chemo and radiotherapy may be chosen ut surgery is first option and should be done initially. The quicker a ganglioneuroblastoma is diagnosed, the quicker it can be treated and prevented from spreading. Treatment usually begins with surgical removal of the tumor. Chemotherapy and radiation are then used to prevent regrowth.If a tumor contains only benign cells, surgery is most likely the only treatment needed.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. | |

Suggest treatment for bed wetting in kids
hello good morning sir i have some query about my son my son is 8 years old but he still bed wetting habit sometimes i can spot stool mark on his inner wear he is very introvert sometimes i lost my control and scold him for that but i want to know how can he get control of this? | Hello! Thank you for writing!Nocturnal enuresis, also called bedwetting, is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs. Most bedwetting is a developmental delay—not an emotional problem or physical illness. Only a small percentage (5% to 10%) of bedwetting cases are caused by specific medical situations. Bedwetting is frequently associated with a family history of the condition. Treatments range from behavioral-based options such as bedwetting alarms, to medication such as hormone replacement, and even surgery such as urethral enlargement. Since most bedwetting is simply a developmental delay, most treatment plans aim to protect or improve self-esteem.[1] Bedwetting children and adults can suffer emotional stress or psychological injury if they feel shamed by the condition. Treatment guidelines recommend that the physician counsel the parents, warning about psychological damage caused by pressure, shaming, or punishment for a condition children cannot control. Motivational therapy in nocturnal enuresis mainly involves parent and child education. Guilt should be allayed by providing facts. Fluids should be restricted 2 hours prior to bed. The child should be encouraged to empty the bladder completely prior to going to bed. Positive reinforcement can be initiated by setting up a diary or chart to monitor progress and establishing a system to reward the child for each night that he or she is dry. The child should participate in morning cleanup as a natural, nonpunitive consequence of wetting. This method is particularly helpful in younger children (Bedwetting alarms: Physicians also frequently suggest bedwetting alarms which sound a loud tone when they sense moisture. This can help condition the child to wake at the sensation of a full bladder. These alarms are considered effective, with study participants being 13 times more likely to become dry at night. There is a 29% to 69% relapse rate, however, so the treatment may need to be repeated. But before this better see a doctor in order to rule out the medical conditions that can cause this. Thank you. Wish your child good health. Best regards. | |
Will it be safe to take Bronchorex for cough and breathlessness?
My husband has been choking (on his saliva?) while speaking, eating and laughing. He becomes breathless and the cough produces no phlegm or mucous. He had relief on being prescribed Bronchorex but it recurred on discontinuing the same. He is not sure if he is experiencing reflux. What can be done? | Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should should first rule out bronchitis in your husband's case because his symptoms like breathing difficulty, cough, not able to expectorate etc are commonly seen with bronchitis. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. He will need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Only bronchorex cough syrup will not be effective. Don't worry, he will be alright. First diagnose him and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks. | |

Is my ovulation too late to conceive and when should I go see a doctor about this? | Hi , Sorry but your history is not clear.Let me tell you the basis of ovulation & periods .Normally periods are 28 days +/- 7 days , bleeding of upto 7 days is normal.To know the exact date of ovulation, Subtract 14 days from Average length of cycle , eg- if periods every32 days, 32-14= Day 18 is day of Ovulation. If your cycle is regular , don't worry about any other hormones. Because if you have abnormal levels of Thyroid or Prolactin hormones, you will not ovulate , hence your periods will be prolonged or irregular.Repeat Prolactin (early morning around 6-7 am, empty stomach ).Do consult infertility specialist if level is too high ( upto 30ng/ml or mcg/lt is normal ). Prolactin can rise for varied situations eg - lack of sleep, anxiety, after sex, anxiety even seeing the syringe !If your cycle is regular rule out other causes for infertility like Husband - Semen parametersWife- Tubal patency- HSG ( X ray with dye) or SSG ( Scan with dye) or laparoscopy.All the bestDr.Balakrishnan | |
Bad acne. Due to lot of masturbation. Which is the best cream to reduce this?
All right so the problem I have right now is acne .... Bad acne. I masturbate a lot so my idea is that its probably because of that since it started along with the ejaculation routine. I have tried different medicines , face washes etc. But they don t work. Sometimes the acne grows bigger and more in number and sometimes it dulls. I don t have an image that I could show you but please give some advice and good prescription. Thanks. | Thanks for posting question on HCM, You are probably suffering from acne vulgaris which has no relation with masturbation , Acne vulgaris appear at puberty and lasts for 25-30 years , it present with blackheads,whiteheads,pustules , nodules and cysts on face and shoulders. It has no relation with any food you take. Apply ISOTRETINOIN gel at night ,clindamycin lotion bid in day and oral doxycycline 100 mg for 1 month and let me know. Hope this will alleviate your anxiety Regards Dr sher bhutto | |
Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? | Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

What causes dizziness and headache while on Remicade?
I am a 39 year old female. I am not pregnant. I have crohn s disease. I also have high blood pressure. I was on remicade for my disease until 10 weeks ago when I started having complications with it which I was on it for over 3 years so its to to be expected. However for the last two weeks my head has been feeling really dizzy. I also keep getting headaches. The headaches are not constant but the dizziness is and sometimes it feels like there is pressure on the top of my head. I just started taking entyvio for the crohns but my first dose was last Thursday, so I know that s not the problem. My question is though could the remicaid along with the steroids that they were giving me at the time be causing the dizziness and the headaches especially since we had to just stop it or could there be something worse going on? I m supposed to do an MRI but were waiting on the insurance company to give the ok. It s just this dizziness keeps getting worse and I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what might be causing it? Thank you Sincerely Darlene Emmett | Hi, Headache and dizziness may not be due to Remicade or a steroid but it can be due to a migraine. The condition can be managed with Ergotamine or Carbamazepine before you go for an MRI. If headaches and dizziness are still there then an MRI can be considered. Till then it can be managed as a migraine headache. It is a kind of functional disorders and not the pathology of any kind. Certain precipitating factors are there which can be responsible for a headache, like psychological disturbances, stress, anxiety and sometimes diet too (spicy, fried, high-calorie diet). Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance. | |
Q. What are the chances of a nevus being melanoma?
Hi doctor, I have some questions regarding what the dermatologist told me yesterday, when I was visited with dermoscopy to check my nevi. I asked the dermatologist to focus on an atypical blue nevus (on my right arm) which has increased in size during the last nine years. He told me that the nevus pigmentation does not allow the dermoscopy to provide a conclusive diagnosis of melanoma. He adviced me to remove the mole but with no priority Now, I have some questions. 1. The fact that I have no priority means that there is a low probability that my nevus is a melanoma? Or it is due to the limitation of the instrument? 2. Would the dermoscopy have allowed to classify my nevus as a melanoma, if the nevus effectively was a metastatic melanoma? I do not know what to think. | Hello. Dermoscope is of different types. Some are more good than others. Using this instrument requires a lot of practice and experience. Sometimes the person performing it cannot appreciate all the features of a particular disease. In your case, the conversion of blue nevus to melanoma is very rare. On the safe side, the doctor advised you to remove it so that no confusion left. If he or she has picked up melanoma, they would immediately treat it. You should go for excision of your nevus and histopathology will reveal the exact tissue diagnosis. | |

What causes swollen,itching lump on belly button?
I just found a swollen lump on my belly button. Im not sure how long it has been there, I noticed it now because it is itching really bad. Looking online it seems like it could be a harmless umbilical hernia, so I was going to wait untill next week to go to doctor. I am wondering if thats the only possibility you could think of or is there a chance that its something else and I need to go immediately? | HiWelcome to hcmYou have not mentioned the exact location. If it is arround the umbilicus then it can be hernia but less likely to cause itching. Hernia will disappear on laying down and becomes prominant on caughing. You should show it to your surgeon once ffor confirmation. If it is hernia it needs surgery. Skin infection can cause itching.Regards. | |

What is the persistent bruise on my son s spine?
My 4 year old son has a small, faint bruise on his spine (lower thoracic, upper lumbar region). It is small, faint, but has been there for about 8 months. I just noticed tonight that it had not yet gone away. Could this be a result of a bone bruise? Should I be concerned? He is a typical toddler and gets many bruises from bikes, soccer, etc...all which heal very quickly. | Hi,It would be more easy if you can send us a picture. A lesion which is there for 8 months is unlikely to be bruise. It is likely a capillary hemangioma/nevus.

K., Pediatrician | |
What is the lump growing on the forearm?
hi, i was diagnosed with idc stage 1 last year no lymph node involvement.rads and arimidex. right side. i now have a lump on left fore arm has been there about 10 weeks growing slightly. one doc says its ok only a ganglion other doc says i should see a surgeon to investigate.what is your opinion i am 50 years old. | Hello!Thank you for the query.Its hard to say not being able to see it. If the lump is hard and in the vein area, your forearm is larger than the other one (swollen), veins thrombosis can be the reason.If the lump is soft and bit tender, present close to the wrist, ganglion cyst is a possibility.Veins thrombosis is a serious diagnosis and can not be left alone. That is why it would be reasonable to consult general surgeon.Hope this will help.Regards. | |
Suggest treatment for shoulder pain and fever
My son, age 7, got up at 2 am this morning crying with shoulder pain. I questioned him to see if maybe he had fell at school or bumped it in any way during the day. He said no and said it had hurt all day at school. This is a child that does not complain about being sick or hurting. His body felt really warm but his face was cool. I gave him some advil for pain and laid down with him until he fell back asleep. I then woke him up for school at 6:30 and he didn t mention his shoulder until we were on our way to school and he said his shoulder really hurt. The school nurse called me at 11 and said Cooper had a fever of 102.2. When I picked him up his color was off, he said his side and tummy hurt and his head hurt. The nurse said there was a fever virus going around and that was probably it. He has not had fever since about 1 but I have a concern about his shoulder hurting all of a sudden. Thank you for your time. Paula | Hi....this looks like a reactive arthritis or a transient synovitis. With fever going on along with so intense shoulder pain in a child who you say is very tolerant and never complains.... I would also like to rule out infectious synovitis.I suggest you consult your pediatrician or pediatric orthopedic surgeon.Regards - Dr. Sumanth | |

What causes sharp pain in lower left abdomen?
I just had a very sharp pain (sort of a sharp pinching feeling) in my lower left abdomen when I sneezed. It's happened similarly before when I cough or sneeze, but not for a while now.

Just take antispasmodic for two days. If the pain is nonspecific, you will be alright. Whether there will be any bulging when you cough over the abdominal wall. Don't lift heavyweight. If the pain persists, you need an ultrasound scan. Anyway, hopefully, you will be alright.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Niranjan G | |
What is the best treatment for throat cancer?
I am looking for info for my 59 year old brother with incurable throat cancer. I saw something about a stent in the throat and think he should try it as he isn't able to swallow food right now. Looks like he is starving to death while they do radiation. | Hi,Thanks for writing in.Initially throat cancer is treated by surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also given to kill any cancer cells that are still present after surgery. If your brother cannot get a surgery done due to the disease stage then he should be treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.You have also mentioned about his inability to swallow. This can be solved to some extent by giving him liquid and semisolid foods. This will easily pass through any narrowed passage in the throat without pain and difficulty. Inserting a nasogastric tube and then feeding him through it will prevent starvation. Parenteral feeding through veins should also be given to maintain his essential nutrition requirement. Please do not worry. | |

From what i understood, your marital relationship is strained and the in-laws are adding to the problem. You visited a psychiatrist 2 years ago and were prescribed oxtin (? dose). Now Oxtin is Oxatomide, which is an anti-allergic drug with some sleep inducing property. So probably it was prescribed to help you fall asleep.Regarding the problems that you are facing, i would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist/clinical psychologist or a qualified marriage counselor. Marital, Interpersonal and family therapy might help you cope with the situation, as well as improve the situation at home. Regarding medicines, though their role is limited in this case, you might benefit from antidepressant medications. Hope this helpsDr A Rao Kavoor | |

What are the chances of pregnancy if had sex just after the periods?
Hi I didn t take my pill for two weeks because I had to undergo a planned surgery, and after the surgery I was told not to take the pill until I had recovered a good amount. Now in these 2 weeks me and my boyfriend had unprotective sex, right after my menstruation (a day or so). From what I know, the eggcell leaves my body with the menstruation, which means I should be safe, right? I haven t had any of the symptoms yet (vomiting, tender breasts and such) but I ve heard of friends becoming pregnant without knowing it. The reason why I haven t used a pregnancy test is because I m currently on vacation and I haven t had the chance yet to buy one, and I m rather paranoia about this.

How does Naturogest help to conceive?
Hello I was pregnant year before and had misscarriage now since 8 months have passed m not able to conceive so m going for checkups my doctor noticed cyst on my right ovary and also prescribed me toh have Nautrogest 300 sr can you suggest how the tablet will help me to conceive | Hallow Dear, Nautrogest sr 300 contains Natural Micronized Progesterone. Progesterone is needed for stabilising the pregnancy after conception. If by any chance the levels of Progesterone are less in the body, then the pregnancy cannot get stabilized and gets aborted before missing a period; which is perceived as no conception. In such cases, this medicine can support stabilizing the pregnancy. I would advise you to get your ovulation monitoring evaluated. If you are releasing the eggs regularly, this medicine will help stabilizing the pregnancy after conception. If you are not ovulating, you may need ovulation induction treatment. Also get your tubal patency evaluated by Hysterosalpingography and Laparoscopy. If there is block, you may need surgical recanalization. Get husband's semen examination done after 4 days of sexual abstinence. I hope both of you get evaluated thoroughly instead of taking any empirical treatment. Dr. Nishikant Shrotri | |
