What are the major concerns when blood group of mother do not match with baby?
Prior to the development of Rhogam, a woman with blood type O- giving birth to a baby with blood type A+ had a 2% chance of developing an immune response and producing anti-Rh antibodies. A woman with blood type A- giving birth to a baby with blood type O+ had a 16% chance of immune response. (8 pts) pg 198A. Why do you think there such a large difference in risk?B. Why are the risks not higher In either case? | hi, friend, there are two types of incompatibility. one is ABO incompatibility. and one is Rh incompatibility. Rh negative mother give birth to the Rh positive baby. at that time risk is due to Baby's RBCs come in contact with maternal blood and produce antibody against that. that antibody cross the placenta and goes in to baby's blood stream and destruct baby's RBCs. this is the cause for Rh incompatibility. now Same can occurs for the ABO but good thing is that ABO antibody are IgM type. so it can not cross the placenta and same thing not happens frequently but rarely it may be of IgG type at that time it produce incompatibility. so the difference in the risk is due to that. and not high risk in either cases are due to the reason, the reason is that blood of maternal and fetus run in two separate circulation with the placental barrier. so Bleeding in antenatal period or at the time of delivery contact may occurs. otherwise this phenomena is out of question. that's why risk is low. | |

My baby is one year old, i dought that he is getting addicted to the smell of "gutka" intaken by one of my relatives and he takes my baby everyday. He is 70 year's old, whenever my baby sees him my baby gets crazy and after going to him baby never wants to come back easily even to his mother. Plz help wheather it is addiction to intoxicating smell or its normsl over attraction to old person. Plz help me snd my baby. | Hi, The very first thing , confirm whether your relative is giving 'Gutka' to your baby also ? What kind of Gutka he is taking ? Baby may get addiction if he has got the taste of it and started taking it orally. Addiction with smell is difficult to comment on. Possibility of a normal preference and attraction with the person where your baby is feeling more confortable, more affection or some interesting action which your relative might be having and your baby is enjoying it.

Q. Please suggest some Ayurvedic medicines to reduce fibroids.
Hi doctor, I am a 27-year-old female. Three years ago, I underwent myomectomy, and a large fibroid was removed. After that I was fine. For the past one month, I have bleeding with pain. Now the scan has shown more than three intramural fibroids. There is a fibroid which is large measuring 40 x 35 mm. My uterus is healthy in all the aspects. My thyroid test was also normal. Please suggest some Ayurvedic medicine to reduce my fibroids. | Hi. The Siddha or Ayurvedic drugs can be taken as early as possible after diagnosing the fibroids. The herbal therapy will ensure the shrinkage of the fibroid with no more growth or new formation and also prepare the uterus for pregnancy. Follow these drugs which are advised to you. Take capsule Rasagandhi Mezhugu one in the morning and one in the evening after taking food. While consuming this capsule, drink one cup of buttermilk (curd with water). Take tablet Chithramoola kuligai or take tablet Tumowin (Carum copticum with Plumbago indica) one in the morning and one in the night after food. Take Van kumari legium one spoon (five gram) in the morning and one spoon in the evening before food. Take tablet M2 tone (Ashoka and Ashwagandha) two tablets in the morning and two tablets in the evening after meal. You can take a banana flower after cooking, and jamun fruits can be consumed more if the bleeding is more. If you can collect the bark of jamun tree, then its kashayam is the best one to stop the bleeding. Make it as small pieces of the bark. Take 20 grams of the cut barks, add 250 ml of water, and boil it in a mild flame. Once the water is reduced to 100 ml, then stop firing it. Filter it, and this is called as jamun bark kashayam. Drink this kashayam every morning. Similarly, prepare a new one every day and drink in the evening before taking food. You can make together in the morning itself. Continue these drugs for three months. Then, take an ultrasonogram of the abdomen to confirm the reduction in size. | |

What causes tingling feeling in my arms?
At 3 am this morning I was woken up to use the restroom (I had to poop). As I was using the bathroom I started sweating. Don t know if I was hot or if it was cold sweats. As this happened. My arms got tingling and I felt like I was going to pass out. I also felt nauseated. This lasted about 10 minutes. Then I felt a little better. Got up at 5 to go to work. While at work I didn t feel so hot. Not nauseated. Or like headache. I can t explain how I felt. I just felt off. Not quite right. This lasted till about 1/2 this afternoon. I feel ok now. | Im sorry to hear about your ordeal. Tingling in the arms can come from multiple causes: cervical radiculopathy ( pinched nerve in the neck), peripheral neuropathy ( typically related to diabetes, AIDS, or alcoholism), or from peripheral nerve compression ( sleeping in a strange position or on an extremity). In your case with the constellation of symptoms you felt it is likely you may have had a vasovagal reaction from using the washroom. This type of reaction can occur when you strain and increase the tone to a nerve called the vagal nerve. Typically this causes sweating, nausea, and a uneasy feeling like you described. Im glad the symptoms dissipated and hopefully this will not occur again. If the symptoms do return it is best to see your physician for a thorough physical exam. I hope this answer helps. | |
Having noticed a sharp burning sensation on the knee cap

I don not feel pain when squatting, running,walking. Only when pressure is applied underneath right knee cap. | hello, thank you for using healthcare magic .

What causes cavities in the teeth and how are they prevented ?
Sorry Im not really good in english So heres my problem I have a hole in my tooth then the gums started filling the space in the hole Now Its still growing What do I do What is that called? Is it dangerous? | Hello and thank you for your questions. First cavities are caused by bacterial infections in your teeth. The bacteria produce acids that eat away at the outer surface of your teeth (enamel) and then spread to the inside of your teeth. Cavities are prevented by: -decreasing frequency of sugar intake, especially sticky, tacky snacks -avoiding beverages high in caffeine, sugar and acids: coffee, energy drinks, fruit drinks, sports drinks -following the 3-2-1 rule: brush 3 times a day, floss 2 times and gargle with Listerine 1 time daily -do not sip on soda pops or fruit drinks, drink them and then switch to water, the longer you spend sipping on a soda the more exposure you have to acids that eat away at your teeth. -go to the dentist annually and have a cleaning twice a year. -if you have cavities get them fixed right away before they progress and become worse. The hole in your tooth is called a cavity. The gums growing into the hole is called hyperplastic overgrowth. You are having an irritation in the area, the gums are swelling and growing due to this issue and filling in the void of your tooth. If the cavity is in the top of the tooth, you may actually have hyperplastic pulp also known as a pulp polyp. You need to have the cavity filled, possibly a root canal and crown, or an extraction of the tooth depending on how bad the hole is. This is not necessarily dangerous, but could lead to more discomfort and a more severe infection down the road. Don't sit on this until it becomes painful, have it repaired and addressed as soon as you can. Best wished and good health Dr. Ward | |

Ive been to the dentist and he has said i need to have all my teeth taken out but cant get this done for 8 to 10 months im on the waiting list but he sid that had nuthing to do with my jaw pain so what can it be | Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain can be infection of the tooth that had spread to the periapical tissues leading to formation of abscesses , this pain can be radiating to the jaw and ear . You need to take x-ray before extraction , better an OPG x-ray. Since you cannot do the treatment right now take tab amoxiclav 625 mg twice , tab Zerodol twice all this for 5 days . Use lukewarm saline gargles 3-4 times , Avoid eating hot and spicy food , use antiseptic mouthwash gargles like chlorhexidine or betadine twice daily . Root stumps need to be extracted, Depending upon the condition of the front tooth determine the treatment , discuss with your dentist , It will be better if you go for complte mouth extraction as there are no teeth on the upper arch . After healing of both the jaws you can go for complete dentures upper and lower. Hope this helps out. Regards.. | |

Suggest treatment for mouth ulcers with bleeding gums
last week (Thursday I think) i caught my gum while eating a cold cereal bar. I noticed a couple of days later what looked like an ulcer had formed there. It is still there and doesnt seem to be healing at all. I am unsure whether to keep treating it as an ulcer or whether it is a cut that has got infected as it started to bleed earlier | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The ulcers in the mouth could be because of allergic stomatitis or aphthous stomatitis.The other possible cause could be secondary to trauma like cut injury from food particles. It can also be from the herpes virus infection.If it is traumatic ulcer or herpetic ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food.If it is allergic stomatitis or aphthous ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in 5-7 days then consult a oral physician and get it examined.I hope my answer will help you, take care. | |

What is the treatment for chronic pain, depression and Fibromyalgia?
Currently I am on cymalta 30mg(twice) a day,oxycodone(10) every 8hrs and captopril and coq10 (100) Mg a day. I have chronic pain,depressed and being treated for fibermyalgia. I,ve been waking up in middle of nite and in am with my heart beating like crazy. Do you thing any of these meeds could be causing this.. Thanks | Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No, these drugs are not causing such symptoms. In my opinion, your uncontrolled depression and stress are the likely causes for your symptoms. But better to first rule out heart diseases because chest pain, crazy heart beats are commonly seen with heart diseases. So get done ecg and 2d echo.. If these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You may need additional antidepressants and anxiolytic drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |
After light activity, sweat, feel dizzy, paplpitations. When I shovel snow I get feverish, sweaty, cough. Have ashtma. Suggestions?
I have episodes of dripping sweat after light activity, dizziness, heart palpitations and feel like passing out. It's year round. When I shovel snow I get feverish, sweaty, cough and vomit. I have rheumatoid arthritis, chronic bronchitis/asthma. I recently had a stress test, which came back normal. I am trying to figure out what is wrong with me so I can discuss with my dr. | Hi ! As you have got asthma, any activity which triggers or worsens the attack may give rise to such symptoms due to low oxygen saturation in the blood. The feverishness, and getting sweaty could be due to a co existing respiratory tract infection. Even though the stress test may be normal, you are required to get yourself reviewed by a cardiologist if your symptoms persist. Wishing you an early recovery. | |

Could deanxit help to lower BP while having tachycardia?
Hello, my name is Nadine. I'm 32. 3 children. I had twins 10 mo ago. It was a complicated peegnancy. I had high blood pressure 145/90 at the end with high protein level in urine. I had a c section the day I broke my water. At 34 weeks exactly. Babies were doing great though. Anyway 10 months later, as today, I still have high BP. 145/90. My family doctor advised me to lose some weight and get on a more healthy diet (less salt and sugar) and avoid any medicine right now. Instead he prescribed me deanxit, being very stressed, feeling low and sad for a very long time now. Is this a good idea? Will this medicine help me get my BP lower also? I'm also subject to tachycardia and I forgot to ask my doctor if deanxit will affect my heart beats. I'm also about to start a treatment with isosupra for acne , is it compatible with deanxit? I know that isosupra affects the mood.Thank you for reading and answering me.Regards | Hello , you had pre eclampsia during pregnancy. It was wise decision to have a CS as soon as the water broke . Btw about 10 -20 percentage of patients who had hypertension during pregnancy may have persistent hypertension throughout and these are the patients who require long term medication for blood pressure. However as your pressure are just borderline we may wait and give diet and lifestyle changes ro take care of the slightly higher pressure. Also yes anxiety does push the blood pressure high and so treatment for the same may decrease the pressure is that's the predominant cause . What you are feeling is called post part um blues and it's very common after a complicated pregnancy. Peer support would be ideal here . Isospura can be taken with Deanxit. however plz note that Isospura should NOT be taken if you are breastfeeding. Also the reason for acne in you would be hormonal imbalance and iso treating in is not the best drug . Hoping I could help . Regards Dr. Priyank Mody | |

How long does burning and itching at an incision on scalp take vanish?
Had pre cancer removed off of the top of my scalp 4 days ago. Swelling has gone from scalp down forehead and now in eyes. Movement is always creating pain along incision (10 stiches). Burning and itch sensation now. No discharge, just a little blood when it pulls.... How long will burning sensation be? | These are all normal signs and symptoms of healing of a wound particularly in this area. Due to the dissection that takes place during the surgery, there is accumulation of fluid in the space created and hence the swelling. This is quite normal and will disappear in 2-3 weeks.

The burning will go in 2-3 days and be replaced by an itching and pulling sensation which will stay for another 10 days | |

What causes discomfort vein on left side of penis?
Hello, I have recently discovered a discomfort coming from a vein on the left side of my penis above the left testicle directly on my penis towards the base. It causes a sharp pain when touched and feels to be a little hard. I am a 19 year old very active athlete and I weight lift everyday regularly as well as participate in team sports. The day this pain became noticeable was the day after I was doing heavy weight on squats during my leg day, followed by football, and indoor soccer. The vein is noticeable, but isn't too severely swollen. The pain is tolerable, but has raised some concerns. Did I overwork myself and possibly cause this? I am wondering what it is and what I should do. Thank you | Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concernsYou have noticed a painful vein on the left side of your penis after doing an extensive physical work out. From you description it sounds like you may have irritated the muscle in your perineum or muscles of your groin.

If it is a muscle strain then rest and time will reduce the pain.In summary1. Pain possible Inguinal hernia or groin muscle strain2. Seek medical attention for diagnosis3. Rest for muscle strain4. surgery for repair of inguinal herniaI hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your medical questions and concerns | |
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 causes lump in the middle of bicep?
I'm a 21 year old male, 5'8, 157lbs. No notable medical history.I have found a small lump in my middle bicep (Not near any joint) that seems to have appeared after my workout today. It hurts to touch and move, and aside from the lump itself, there is no swelling, bruising or pain around it.It seems like a fascial hernia to me. If so - will it heal?If it isn't a fascial hernia - What might it be? | HI.Good question>:Fascial hernia: gap needs to be stitched, there is no alternative. If this is not a fascial hernia, the most probable diagnosis is a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma. Both are painless and non-tender to start with. Lipoma will be very freely mobile but the hernia or cyst will not be.Fascial hernia becomes prominent, fixed and taught if you contract the biceps. Well, a good clinical examination by the surgeon will confirm the diagnosis and will give you the best possible plan. | |

Irregular periods, having PCOS. Prescribed folic acid, goodova, scan on 8th day. Right treatment?
We completed the 1 years of our marriage,we are planning for baby,I have irregular periods.I consulted doctor, after all tests they said i have PCO..my doctor suggested to take folic acid tablets daily and goodova 50mg on day 3 of periods till 7th day,scan on 8th day .. is it right treatment? whether i will pregnant . i am very tensed about this..please suggest me.. | Hi, Please do not get tense as PCOS is a common problem nowadays. However there are different varieties of PCO depending upon the type of hormonal imbalance. Let me explain the problem in PCO. Normally every month one ovum is produced and released in the female reproductive organs usually 14 days before the onset of periods. If on that day the sperm unites with it, pregnancy will result. In PCO the ovum remains trapped in the ovary and hence cannot meet the sperm and so pregnancy does not occur. Tablet goodova is a good initial line of treatment for this as it helps the ovum to mature and release [helps ovulation to occur]. It must combined with an ultrasound to see if the ovum is actually released. An HcG injection may be used to help this process. If sexual contact occurs at the time of ovulation then pregnancy may occur. So this treatment may help. If pregnancy does not occur after 3 cycles a laparoscopy and drilling of the cysts has excellent results.There are a few more things that I want to clarify: PCO may be caused by any of numerous hormonal imbalances. So it is important that a complete hormonal profile called the PCOD profile must be done on day 2 or 3 of periods. If there is any abnormality it must be treated. Drugs like metformin are helpful in some cases. You need to discuss this with your treating Gynecologist. Another thing is lifestyle modification which has amazing results, regular exercise, weight loss of 3-4 kilos, no sugar, no fat diet and meditation help to decrease the imbalance and induce ovulation. So please try these along with the other treatments. Hope this was helpful. Don't worry and best of luck. Dr Madhuri BagdeConsultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist | |

What causes painful jaw with history of mandible surgery?
I had mandible surgery a year ago and had to get 2 titanium plates put in. Recently I've had pain in my teeth and jaw around the break. So bad that painkillers Dont stop it and even wakes me up in the middle of the night. What's the cause, and what should/could I do? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The pain in the site of plate or fractured site can be because of the infection near the plates or any infection from the teeth near to the fractured bone site. Following trauma usually the teeth will lose its life. So they are prone to get infected. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out the above said causes. If it is a tooth infection, then get the tooth treated. if there is infection near the plates, get the plates removed. Mean while take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole.I hope my answer will help you, take care. | |

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 --> | |
Suggest treatment for very high BP with sore eyeballs and head
My BP has been extremely high for me the past two days. The last two times I have taken it, it has read 181 over 128 pulse 95 and most recently about 5 hours from the last time it is now 167 over 110 pulse 116. Though I took a BP pill 5 and 1/2 hrs ago ... can I take another one soon. MY head and neck are killing me and my head is going to explode,.My eyeballs are so sore, | Hello,The Headache and soreness of eyes both are related to the blood pressure being on the higher side . An disturbing fact that diastolic ( lower ) blood pressure is really high .You have to take anti hypertensive medication in such setting , maybe the one you are on is not working good enough . So increasing the dose of same or adding another is the way forward. A visit to a doctor who can do the same is strongly suggested. Lastly along with blood pressure when the pulse is too high it would suggest anxiety as a common accomplishment . So try calming down as by being more anxious, the pressure would still fly to higher values . Do visit your doctor at the earliestRegards Dr Priyank Mody | |

What cause bone discoloration after hip surgery?
I just had hip surgery and my physical therapist said that when they got in the joint they saw bone discoloration. She wasn t able to explain much past that. Do you have any ideas about what it might mean? The surgery involved fixing a labral tear and sanding some bone down as well. | Hi, Firstly, sorry to hear about your hip surgery. Coming to the point, that bone doesn't get discolouration and also it is difficult to see from outside. it should be the skin which the therapist might be trying to explain you. As to see within the joint and the bone you either need a CT scan or a X-ray. Since surgery is done recently, I feel you should consider meeting the surgeon to get it assessed as he will be the right person to work on this complaint as he is the one to operate too so he knows what he has done and why this has come. But I strongly feel this will be changes related to the skin and will be a part of the healing process but still rather to ignore it is better to get it checked. There is no harm getting checked right? Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist | |
Could the swelling in cheeks be due to lump?
hi! my mother showed my her cheek today and it was swollen as if she has an abscess on the right side of her face. she said that it felt like she had a cut in her mouth yesterday and that today/this morning is when she noticed the swelling. I asked her to let me see inside and near the buccal side of the 2nd molar on the cheek, she has a small white ulcer looking lesion. | Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some infection in your salivary gland. It may be acute abscess forming infection or chronic infection. You should go for a course of antibiotics. If your lump doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Q. Why has my left testicle grown big after injection of fat into penis?
Hello doctor, I had a scrotoplasty and liposuction on lower stomach and inner thighs for injecting of fat into the penis. I have had symptoms of pain as I stand. When blood rushes to the genitals, the pain starts to build to the point where I need to lie down. When I lie down the pain goes. While feeling my scrotum, I noticed that the left testicle has grown and is hard since the operation. Maybe two inches long by 1.5 inches wide. It is not painful to touch. I have had no fever or vomiting. I am on anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, and Endone. I am not sure about testicle whether it is edema, orchitis or something else. I am wondering what my next step should be? | Hello. Considering the absence of symptoms like fever, tenderness, and pain on touching, we can be certain that there is no inflammatory process going on. Likely cause for your pain can be altered anatomical orientation of structures which are causing stretch of skin and compression of testicles. This is probably the cause of pain. This should settle with time as you gradually resume your activities. However, next appropriate step is to get it examined by a doctor and confirm the cause of pain. If something is there on examination, then you may need an ultrasound. You should try to start gradually mobilizing yourself, initially just stand for some time, then walk for some time then stop and this should resolve progressively. So just get it examined once by the doctor to be assured. If the testicle is hard as you mentioned, then you need an ultrasound of the testes.

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.

Suggest treatment for rashes on neck
I had a questionable encounter with an individual about a year ago. I took a rapid test at a local clinic about 1 month ago, I have since developed a rash on my neck. As such, my question is 2 fold.

I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. As your both urine pregnancy tests are negative you are mostly not pregnant. I hope you have very regular cycles. As you might be aware that in a woman with regular cycles day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of cycle. Your unprotected sex activity falls in this period , hence you need to cautious about possibility of pregnancy. I will suggest You to wait for 5 days after your expected date of the cycle and get urine test done. In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help. I hope this answer helps you.

Q. Can mixed spongiform thyroid nodules be malignant ?
Hello doctor, I am a female, 32 years old. I do not understand what my ultrasound report means. My gynecologist and PCP both felt a large mass on the right side of thyroid and told me that they have to refer me out and I need another biopsy. The last biopsy was a year back and it was benign. It was a solid dense nodule measuring 1.3 cm. All thyroid tests are normal. Can mixed spongiform nodules be malignant if they are hypoechoic, vascular, lobular and with peripheral calcification? I cannot find anything regarding other abnormal feature with mixed spongiform nodules. | Hello. I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that you have a thyroid nodule. According to the guidelines, if the nodule is more than 75 % of spongiform appearance, then they are benign and if less than 75% then there is a chance of malignancy which must be confirmed by FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). In your ultrasound, there is no percentage depiction of the spongiform portion. Secondly, the malignant nodule has hypoechogenicity and microcalcifications which is present in your report. Please, it is my advice to you to not come to any conclusion before an FNAC. For more information consult an endocrinologist online --> | |
Has there ever been a link between wisdom teeth extraction and something akin to seizures?
Has there ever been a link between wisdom teeth extraction and something akin to absence seizures? We are searching for a cause to some episodes my son is having and the timing with the extraction is suspect. Twilight sedation was used and only Ibuprofen for pain afterwards. | Wisdom tooth extraction can only be a cause precipitating the episodes your son would have been susceptible to it already. Extraction of teeth creates a certain stress that the body has to deal with which may also be evoked by things like heavy exercise, swimming etc. Its just that the cause would have already been and dental extraction just made it to manifest. You need not worry though, just be under proper follow ups for the seizures with the medical practitioner and do report it to the dentist in any subsequent visits so that the necessary protocol can be followed. | |

What do painless lumps on head indicate?
I have several knots on my head, they feel like bone and are right under the skin. Some of them are rather small and others are larger, they don't seem to grow or srink, but on the bright side they don't hurt. I really wouldn't know they were there except I can feel them and if I part my hair over one of them it does look like it protrudes. What could these be and why do I have so many of them? I am 56 years old and noticed the first one about 6 yrs. ago. My doctor does not seem concerned but really has no answer for me.

In case of doubts, ultrasound can be done.Hope this will help.Regards. | |

What course of treatment should be given for biceps tendinopathy and supraspinatus tendinitis?
I have been diagnosed with biceps tendinopathy and supraspinatus tenosynovitis of the right shoulder following a vehicle accident over 7 months ago and despite a steroid injection and months of physical therapy, I can barely move my right shoulder, is there any real help for this? | Hello, As you met an accident where you were diagnosed with biceps tendinopathy and supraspinatus tenosynovitis I wonder why the shoulder functions have not resumed even after 6 months. Have you taken an MRI of the shoulder? If so what was the reports? if not then please do take it. I suspect this to be a rotator cuff injury. Because any injury happening to the shoulder with two muscle injury falls in the group. The rotator cuff muscles are weak. You need to workout behind it. Shoulder function can resume only when we have good range of motion in passive for all the movements and also if we overcome the pain. In fact, I should share one of the rotator cuff injury cases of mine. It was a case of 65 years old female with the above mentioned injury. No passive or active shoulder movements. But to overcome the problems, i use to make the muscle tire by active ROM exercises and no weights. Just gravity assisted and gravity resisted ones. In fact all the shoulder movements like - flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, adduction and circumduction. At the end of the 12th week, she had the best movements without any kind of pain and shoulder was much stronger than before. I will advise you to look for a competitive physiotherapist who can help you get the best outcome score. If left untreated it will lead to other pathologies which are not accepted. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist | |

I was wondering if theres away to cure him.... to make him better.... This is his 4th or 5th time hes had to much Ammonia in his system in 3 weeks. | Hi Thanks for writing to Health Care magic Alcohollic liver disease results from damage to liver. This causes difficulty in the elimination of toxic wastes like ammonia from the blood. Their levels accumilate and cause the symptoms described by u. Ammonia is toxic to brain. The treatment of alcoholic liver disease would reverse the condition usually. But in case of a severe problem we need to get dialysis done and sometimes doctors advise for organ transplantation. Elevated ammonia can also occur with renal problem. So please get his renal parameters also checked. Tremors, confusion, anxiety, restlessness, fatigue etc canalso occur with alcohol withdrawl. Diabetes and hypertension themselves are risk facotrs for kidney and liver disease. Strict abstinence from alcohol is very important. Hope this helps u Thanks and regards | |

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 is the reason for constant crying by a baby?
Hi..my babbaby is 20 days old.. I have given her 5 dropS of colic aid because she had not burp n she was vomiting after every feed.. Nite I had given but after giving she has not slept whiwhole nite n she is crying a lot for hungry.if I feed she iis quite if I stop feefeeding she crys ... For what reason | HI...by what you quote this looks like a evening colic ans is quite common in this age group. This is because some babies in the eagerness to drink milk, gulp in air too while feeding fast and this air has to come out as belching or burping or flatus. Till it comes out, there will be mild discomfort and this is the reason why the babies cry.I usually do not recommend any anticolic medicines as the relief is only temporary and the drug effect will halt the intestinal movements temporarily which is not good.Regards - Dr. Sumanth | |

So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or LaparoscopyIf all this done & found normal , nothing can stop a pregnancy with God's willThere is no specific food which can increase fertility.Hope I have cleared your queryAll the bestDr.Balakrishnan | |

How to get rid of severe pain and numbness of leg ?
A 29 year old male presents with extreme burning and cramping pain upon exertion in the lower limbs. The patient is a competitive marathon runnerand recently ran the New York marathon despite the pain. The patient reports that the pain coincides with the start of physical activity. When the pain was first noticed, it subsided almsot immediately after the completion of physical activity. Over time, the pain has become more acute annd now it takes some time after the cessation of activity for the pain to subside. The patient also reports that recently numbness and and extreme weakness of the calf will result after sustained physical activity. | Hello, His symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve. Another possible cause to consider would be a muscle disorder or chronic venous insufficiency in the lower limbs, or a connective tissue disorder. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests: - nerve conduction studies - a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels - CPK plasma levels - complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation - ASOT titer. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist | |

I appreciate your concern for your friend. It seems she is in advanced stage of her disease and is bleeding from cancer. Palliative surgery on stomach can be done to stop the bleeding and once the bleeding stops further treatment can be planned after stabilisation. Til that she needs vigorous nutritional support.
