Does taking i pill frequently cause weight gain?
I had consumed I pill for almost once in 2 months for past 2 years. But now from last 4 months or so I have not consumed. But compared to past to years I have gained a lot of weight and my weight continues to increse eeven now. Is this because of I pill? | Hello,I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Definitely, your hormone milieu must have got disturbed due to the frequent use of the high dose of progesterone emergency pill intake in the past. Weight gain is a side effect of hormone use. However, other causes also should be explored. You need to monitor your work-diet ratio, use a calorie-counter to adjust your needs, get an assay of hormones including thyroid profile, serum Prolactin and blood sugar. Restrict the use of emergency pill to one or two occasions per year. Hope this helps. | |

Q. Is Mometasone dangerous to use on Face to clear my acne pimples?
Hello doctor, I am seriously facing acne pimples problem. Sometimes they occur on my face when I masturbate. If I use Mometasone, it gives a good result. Is it okay to continue this? | Hello. Acne is a universal issue in the age group of 15 to 25 years due to hormonal changes in adolescents. However, there are multiple effective treatment options depending on the grade and severity of the problem. Mometasone is a topical steroid and is to be avoided strictly on the face and for acne as it can harm your skin in the long run. Acne is dependent on hormones hence excess masturbation may sometimes lead to an increase in the problem. I would advise you to stop Mometasone immediately and kindly upload appropriate images to help us assess your current grade of acne and treat you better. Regards.

Suggest medication for heart murmur
My 5 year old son is very healthy, we eat unprossessed foods, he plays outside alot. We live in the Tropics of Australia. He was diognaised with an innocent heart murmur at 2 years old. In the last few weeks he has been very tired, had pale stools & had dark rings under his eyes. He is a really good eater, having sugar free cereal each morning, snacks on fresh & dried fruit during the day & pasta, rice or meat & salad/vegies for dinner. He sleeps 11-12 hours each night. Am very concerned. Please help xoxo | Good Evening,Let me start by saying I am very sorry to hear about these symptoms your son is experiencing. Having said that, from personal experience these symptoms may or may not be separate from the heart murmur itself. Most diagnosed innocent heart murmurs are as their title suggests "innocent." They can and most often will go on throughout an individuals life without causing any issue, except for that of a unique sound heard on physical exam.As for the symptoms you describe, these sound seperate but nevertheless certainly more serious. Very tired, pale stools, dark rings? It sounds to me like a systemic illness that requires complete workup with at a Complete Blood Count and Basic Metabolic Panel. These will let us know if he has an infection, if his blood is healthy and strong and sufficient, if there are any electrolytes and or nutrients out of balance, and or if particular organs and or tissues in the body are ill. Based on his symptoms, and age, I must admit there are a variety of potential causes; Viruses and infections such as Mono or the Flu typically can cause gastrointestinal and generalized effects such as those you describe. Nonetheless, as it can indeed just be a virus, even more benign than the Flu or Mono, it can also be a completely different entity entirely, and thus a formal test really needs to be done to hone in on exactly what that is.My suggestion is to make sure your son hydrates often and as soon as possible schedule a visit with a primary care physician. I would not rush him to the Emergency room unless a primary care physician could not be reached in an adequate period of time, or if your son starts to appear toxic and or the symptoms you are describing start to worsen. I truly hope for the best and believe you and your son will come out of this strong and well cared for.Warm Regards. | |
What causes severe pain in legs?
My seventeen year old daughter complains often of growing pains in her leg. Only ever one leg and it appears to be in the upper shin/knee area. She doesn t exercise, is neither thin nor overweight, and can pinpoint no specific trauma that could have caused it. Should I get this checked out? | Hello, What it appears to me that there will be some vitamin deficiency in your daughter which is common in many kids nowadays. Taking an oral supplement of Vitamin D along with Sunbath regular for a few days will help improve the symptoms. Rest assured, there is nothing much to worry and your daughter will be fine soon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist | |
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 --> | |

Q. For how long should I take Kalachikai powder to overcome PCOD problem?
Hello doctor,As I have PCOD problem and also cyst, I take tablets for period. My friend suggested Kalachikai powder. I used it for 30 days continuously, but no use. How many days should I take that powder and how to overcome this problem? | Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online --> | |
Using Epiduo for acne. Redness and dryness. No pain or itching
I ve been using Epiduo for my acne , but when a patch on my jawline turned flaky, I used less and far away from the site. It was healing fine, then halfway through today the dry spot turned bright red and splotchy, kind of like a hickey. It doesn t hurt or itch , and nothing changed between when the spot was just dry and when it turned red. | Hi, it seems that due to use of epiduo due to excessive dryness it has led to irritation . I recommend you to stop the use of epiduo for few days and use of a non comedogenic moistoriser at that side. if it does not subside in 5 days add a mild steroid like desonide lotion and it will be fine. take care | |

I have an allergic reaction after using Just for Men hair color for my beard. I'm experienced itching which led to me shaving off my beard and washing the affected area.

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.

I have severe back pain in my lower back it hurts terribly No major issues identified in MRI Scan | Hi, Welcome to healthcaremagic community forum... If no nerve compression, disc prolapse or canal stenosis is seen on MRI scans, its probably muscular pain.

A course of physiotherapy -infrared, shortwave diathermy with back exercises are very helpful. | |
What is the bump on the scrotum?
My son has a 3rd bump in his scrotum. He is 2 and today I have first noticed. IT wasn't always there. Note, in the NICU he had a hydrocele that went away within months. At age 1 he was diagnosed with kidney reflux that was said to be cleared at age 2. | Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns. The word bump doesn't explain anything to be diagnosed in. You need to upload pictures and ask a detailed question. Or go to a general surgeon and get him checked in-office there.Usually, there may be a skin infection due to staphylococcus bacteria if bump is allocated only to the skin area. Otherwise there are far many reasons of the bump if its inside the scrotal skin. It may be a swelling of testes, testicular torsion, epididymitis, or scrotal hernia caused by inguinal hernia. Some more likely, some less likely.Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions, feel free to contact me anytime. If satisfied, please give a five Star rating and don't forget to Close the discussion.Have a wonderful time ahead. Best Regards!DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIFUSA | |
Suggest treatment for cough & chest congestion
Hi, My son is 1.4 yrs old, weighing 12.5 Kgs. Today, he is suffering again from chest congestion and cough, today morning when we measured his temperature it was 99.7 F, so a little fever too. History ======= In the last week (8-Aug to 17-Aug 14) he was having high fever 101-102 F (8-13 Aug) with cold and cough. One of the Pediatrician to whom we consult gave following medicine to him, after which by 14-Aug he was recovering well, in-fact there was no fever after 14-Aug, and he was all good by 18-Aug. Medicine: ========== 1. Clamp KID from Dr. Reddy s (3.5 ml twice a day for 5 days) 2. Relent + (4ml twice a day) for 3-5 days 3. Ambrodil S (6ml twice a day) for 3-5 days Now, that he is AGAIN have cold and cough with a little fever too, wondering what should be done next. Thanks, Paresh | Hi...I think that your kid is getting recurrent viral illness and doesn't need antibiotic at all. I will clarify certain issues regarding viral illness and if these are suiting your kid, that means, he was having only viral illness and nothing to worry as such.Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.While recovering from viral illness, it is quite common to have cough and cold and that is how the phlegm comes out while vomiting or in motion.Regards - Dr. Sumanth | |

What is the treatment for broken ribs in a child?
My son and his wife took their baby back to Dr. thought he may have a lung infection so they wanted him x-rayed. The first time they treated him for an ear infection...anyway the x-ray showed 3 broken ribs in the back area, what would cause this??? They are going to their baby Dr on Monday with DHS. I really dont believe it could be child abuse, but it hurts my heart to know he has broken ribs, and as you may imagine my son and daughter-in-law are sick!!!! | Hello, I can understand your problem. You are absolutely right. I think reason for broken ribs would be TRAUMA only, beside that no any reason for that is reasonable. You already did CHEST X ray. Good. So consult with paediatric orthopedician. Till that time you should wath for any symptoms like breathlessness in your child. I think this is helpful to you. Review back. Thank you. | |

Q. I am having small black spots on my toenail. Does it indicate melanoma?
Hello doctor,I am 21 years old. Today I noticed a small black spot on my toenail, I did a little research and found out that it might be a melanoma cancer, but also it could be a fungus infection. After a bit more research, I noticed that an unusual cystic pimple between my chest that I have had for two months now might also sign of melanoma. I spend little to no time in the sun. Do I have melanoma? The black spot on my toenail might be because of the tight shoes I have been wearing lately, my toe also hurts a little bit from those shoes. The red pimple between my chest appeared five to six month ago, then disappeared and reappeared multiple times, I squeezed it, and blood and fluid came out of it. | Hello. I understand your concern. The thing on the chest looks more of a sebaceous cyst, (attachment removed to protect patient identity) which comes and goes even if you pop out the contents as it needs to be excised completely to prevent the recurrence. For the toenail spot, I am not sure that it is melanoma, it can be other things like a subungual traumatic hematoma, or pseudomonas nail infection. Nonetheless, you need to keep observing it for any color or size changes. The two conditions you mentioned do not seem to be related, though. Use the following medication for two weeks, and if it is because of infection it will improve 1. Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for two weeks. And avoid tight footwear. | |
Bladder discomfort, swollen and tender nipples, swollen vagina, unpleasant urine smell. Have microhematuria. What to do?
Hello, I've had approx 4 days of bladder discomfort that eases when drinking cranberry juice, then noticed nipples swollen & tender and area outside and forward of the vagina swollen. For several months before this happened, I noticed urine smell unpleasant even after douching (although not as bad). My doctor has tested my urine twice and there is no infection at all. Background: I'm in menopause and not had a period for 4 yrs, I've had micro-hematuria for 3 yrs and had multiple test (sonograms of kidneys, blood work, etc.) and there is no reason known for the hematuria (it is micro--cannot see it). One other symptom that is odd, around the front of my neck, in the fold of the skin a rash (looks like heat rash) comes and goes--does better if it is kept hydrated with lotion. Not sure if any of that is related, but I am tired of having an uneasy feeling not knowing what is going on. It actually feels like it would if there was infection present. Anything I should do? | Hi,From your history it seems that you might be having Menopausal syndrome.During this time there is hormonal imbalance giving rise to different,unexplainable symptoms.Attend Menopausal clinic and go for counseling.Take plenty of water.Avoid stress and relax.Ok and take care. | |

Please advice is it safe to continue?thank u | Hi,The name and composition of the pills has not been mentioned which makes it difficult to give a detailed explanation. Slimming may cause dehydration since some pills contain diuretic like substances. Duiretics increase salt and water excretion thereby reducing weight by reducing fluid retention.These drugs may or may not affect the fat collection in the body and can also cause side effects like dehydration, low BP and collapse.

My Doctor said im having F.20, What is F20 ?
My Doctor said im having F.20 What is F20? Kindly help me Hi, I am 30 years male. I always had some kind of problems from my childhood and i consult a psychologist after then a psychiatrist at the age of 18-20 [i cannot recall the exact year]. I easily forget and i am unable to understand what is happening with me, like what is real and what is unreal. I used to think i have extra ordinary powers, like i can fly, some kind of power releasing from my eyes or body and a problem staring eyes. I stared at a woman in a feast at a church, i was unable to take my eyes from her, my brain was so free-zed and some friends helped me, pushed me to get out from that place. I saw a flash light when i close and open my eyes, like when we take picture using a camera. I was unable to move my body, unable to move my legs or hands to get away my eyes from her. I was cursed for that, nobody understood what was happening with me. I was staring at all woman and suddenly i heard a voice asking me to suicide . I wanted to jump in front of train and suicide but somehow i reach a meditation center, i spent few days there. I felt like i am St.George and i still have many thoughts like that. After a few days i start to stare at both woman and men, i stare at legs, i still cant help myself, so i don t appear in any public places. I tried to wear sunglasses but nothing helped me. I always hear people talking to me, i see them like i watching a movie, i talk to them continuously all day and night. I had frightening dreams while taking pills . Some times they curse me and ask me to suicide. I consult another doctor and he said it is something F20 psychosis . What is it? Is it anything related to schizophrenia? I am still having the problem for last 10 or more years, hearing voices of people, i see them, staring problem and also i see objects that are not really there. Like i see someone standing in a place but when i ask to my friends if you see him, they say they don t see it. l was unable to continue my education because i was unable to concentrate when i hear people talking to me, asking me to run out from the class rooms, also staring at people to their private parts or legs was a big problem as society doesn t accept it and many stay away from me. I was alone and i was isolated, i am working from home for a living, i am unable to understand whats happening with me, what is real and what is unreal. At present i am taking Sizodon Plus[Resp | Hello. F20 is the code for Schizophrenia. This code is used in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10. Your symptoms do suggest that you are suffering from Schizophrenia. Your eyes are not the problem, but the thoughts, delusion and hallucination make it appear as if there is some problem with the eyes. Even though no medicine seems to be helping you currently, you should follow up regularly with your treating Psychiatrist and try different doses, medicines and combinations, whichever shows adequate clinical efficacy. Hope this helps. Best Regards Abhijeet Deshmukh, MD | |

What causes low lymphocyte count in a child?
My son is 5 years old and recently had preop blood work done for tonsilectomy and adnoids. His ptt was 38 with the limit being 34. His absolute neutrophil count was 3000 above and his lymphocytes are low. His MCH and MCV were slightly elevated as well. He is not currently sick. But I would say his energy level is low and has been for a few months now. His blood work 6 months ago was perfect. Should I be concerned? We are seeing a hematologist on Wednesday as suggested and his surgery was cancelled. | OK, let's start with PTT : 38 is not considered prolonged since PTT is highly dependent on blood sampling , any reading above 40 should be repeated before making any diagnosis, so I think 38 is acceptable and don't warrant cancel of the surgery .the neutrophil count is normal( above 1500 ) , I need to know the total leukocyte count and the number of lymphocytes , lymphopenia or reduced absolute lymphocytic count sometimes can follow an infection , its not a must to have an acute infection .i think repeating the cbc after 2 weeks is the next step , and I highly suspect it to be normal . I hope this helps | |
What could be the reason for having tingling in my penis and frequent urination?
Hello. 5 days ago I had protected vaginal and oral sex with someone. I had unprotected hand stimulation and she rubbed the head of my penis very hard for a long time. Since then, I've had a slight tingle in my penis. No pain, no discharge. Just a strange feeling. I've had a little frequent urination, but nothing I would call worrisome. What could this be? | HiThank you for asking HCMI have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to urethritis. It can be due to mechanical cause due to massaging of tip or due to infection. Urine routine should be done to rule out infection. If you had sex with a risky partner even though it was protected better to run STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Urine test for these are available in labs. In case of infection antibiotics will be helpful. Take more water. Cranberry juice and barley water is good to take also.Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.Thanks. | |

Is HbA1c level of 6.9% a cause for concern?
Hello, I took my first A1C test. The results is 6.9% My doctor want's me to retake the test next week. I have a family history of diabetes. I'm 48 years old, don't smoke, 6ft tall and weigh 240 lbs. I exercise at least 5 days a week mainly cardio - some strength. And, I make good efforts at eating healthier meals. My total cholesterol is always in a good range (140 MG/DL taken 3-23-17). My HDL is 34 MG/DL. Should I be concerned so fast about this first A1C test? | Hello, Thanks for the query.HbA1c% is considered normal when it is less than 5.9%, between 5.9 to 6.4 % is considered as pre-diabetic. >6.5 % is confirmed diabetes. So your HbA1c% of 6.9 is showing that there is presence of diabetes. Therefore it needs treatment.Further looking at your weight and height it is clear that with a BMI of 32.59 kgs/M2, you have grade 1 obesity. Your ideal body weight should be 182 lbs. That means you are over weight by about 58 lbs. This itself can be a major contributor for inducing diabetes. HbA1c% hardly changes in just few days. If you start treatment for diabetes then it takes about 3 months for HbA1c% to show the change. My suggestion is, better to start treatment for diabetes in consultation with your physician or a diabetologist. Plus follow all the dietary advise and consider weight reduction seriously.

Recommend treatment for gall stone removal in patients with cerebral palsy
I have a 23 yr old son with severe cerebral palsy who is confined to wheelchair and can not communicate. He had a scan the other day of his organs and they found a 1.7cm gallstone. He can t tell us, is this very painful. He has been grinding his teeth last few day very badly and we can t figure out anything else. | Hello and thank you for asking HCM.I have read your son medical history,and i am sorry to hear about his condition.Every doctor, when they see a patient,they need to talk with them,because this way we will be able to be more accurate about the possible diagnosis. Also pain is the reason why most of the times,we get to the ER. Since your son can't communicate, it's impossible to say if his gallstone is effecting his liver, or if it causing a cholecystitis (infection of the gallbladder). To be sure, we need to do some blood tests and a surgeon to visit your so. That is the only way that we can be sure for the condition of the gallbladder. The lab tests will show the white blood count (in cholecystitis they increase) the liver enzymes, pancreatic enzymes. Even an ultrasound of the gallbladder can give us a lot of information about its walls (thickening walls means infection most of the time)Meanwhile your son need to have a healthy diet. Products with low fat. Fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meat, poultry, and fish.If you have any other questions,please feel free to contact me.Wishing the best for your son,and good health.Dr.Endri Katro | |
Suggest treatment of bruising and discomfort around the spleen area after an injury?
i had a bad fall on my left side about three months ago in the shower i was quite unwell for a while. i had a lot of internal bruising. i have MS as well. i recently had an ultrasound which showed bruising still but the radiographer mentioned my spleen was not in the right place now. It has been pushed right up under my ribs. i cannot see my Gp till the end of January. Can you tell me if they would have to move it back to where it usually belongs. thank you | Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.The repositioning of the Spleen could be due to persistent internal bruising. Further tests are needed including abdominal CT-scan and laparoscopy to evaluate the changes.Furthermore, complete blood count is recommended to see the status of your blood elements.Yes, they will bring the Spleen back to its normal position, but before we should understand what is causing this.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Albana Sejdini | |
In intracranial hypertension, how will they measure pressure ?
i know essential hypertension where there is high blood pressure and is measured by BPapparutus. in intracranial hypertension. how will they measure pressure? | It depends on your signs and symptoms. Testing involves brain scans (CT/MRI) to rule out certain known causes like an SOL (Space Occupying Lesion) though in many patients, these scans may be normal. Venography / Cisternography with or without contrast agents may also be done to rule out thrombosis/ blocked flow. A Guarded Lumbar Puncture with all aseptic precautions may be done to measure / relieve CSF pressure and to test the CSF for known causes. Continuous monitoring is possible, if required, If your intra-cranial hypertension has existed for more than four to six weeks, an eye examination may show papilledema (swelling of the optic disc). A detailed history may also help solve the issue. | |
Delayed periods, painful, tender, heavy breasts. History of missing the follow up injection of petogen. Possible pregnancy?
Dear Doctor I'm a 25 year old married woman. I've been on the petogen injection for 4 years. My follow up injection was suppose to be in March 2013 but I didn't go as my husband & I are planning to have another baby. I didn't get my period yet & for the last two weeks my breast has been so painful, heavy & tender so bad I'm finding it hard to get up. Could this be because I stopped the injection or can it be something more serious? Another question I have is can I fall pregnant if I didn't get my period yet?Please advice as I am really worried | Hi, The Petogen injection is for contraception. It's a hormonal preparation.On withdrawal of the injection,the time taken for the periods normalis 4-6 months. The breast discomfort & the delayed period is mostly due to the hormonal changes brought about by stopping the injection. The pregnancy is possible only after menses come back to normal. If you are very much eager a USG can give the clear picture at the moment. Thank you. | |
What is the best treatment to get pregnant?
have been trying for a aby for 10-11 months came off my pill last april and have been having regular sex since( everyother day sometimes everyday for the last 3-4 months) everyone around me gets pregnant in only a few months is there something wrong with me? | Hi there, I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options options. 1 ) First of all do not panic. 2 ) For any woman to get pregnant, 3 things need to be in normal limits. A ) Semen analysis and spern count and good motility sperms.Please get your partner's semen analysis done with at least 4 days gap of sex activity. B ) PLEASE get tubal patency test like HSG done. This is X ray test to be done within first ten days of your period C ) To determine about structural normalcy of your uterus and tubes and ovaries, USG will be of help. Also from day ten of the cycle you can do a USG test to know the day of ovulation called as follicle study. You can have sexual activity on at least alternate days between day 10 to 20 of the cycle, this is the most fertile period of cycle. Or ovulation study can tell you day of egg formation and you can have Intra uterine insemination or sex activity on that day. I will suggest you to take B 12 and Folic acid supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar | |

How can low sperm count be treated in a person diagnosed with varicocele?
Am Jayan from kerala 41 aged married man, 7 years completed I have low sperm count and quality. now am consult a doctor after scanning varicocele confirmed . Kindly give me an advice to recover my problem Test Result on 17/01/2017 Total Sperm Count 7.0 Total Sperm Number 11 | Hi Jayan , Male factor is the commonest cause for infertility . Varicocele alone is not a cause for infertility. Only when all other possible causes have been ruled out, varicocele should be blamed.I assume that repeated semen analysis showed a poor count & quality. Before going for higher management try to remove the cause for the poor sperm quality. Only healthy sperm can give a healthy baby. Kindly confirm if1.your blood sugars/ Serum Thyroid & Prolactin are normal 2. Reduce body weight , if your on to overweight 3. Avoid smoking( even passive smoking ) / alcohol/ any other substance abuse4. Have cold water bath 2-3 time / day if possible5. Try methods to reduce mental stress( I know it's easy to say , but tough to practice)- by meditation , Yoga6. Kindly repeat semen analysis from an infertility centre- with abstinence not less than 3 days & not more than 6 days.If they report any infection / WBC/ Pus cells above normal , you will need a course of antibiotics for 2 weeks.Expecting your wife's tubal factor & ovulation factors have been ruled out.Since you are married for 7 yrs, after this basic evaluation & treatment you can try IUI with good hormonal induction & support. In IUI they wash the semen & separate the healthy sperms & keep it close to the waiting egg. Pregnancy chances are 4 times.Even after 3 IUI if you don't get a positive result you can go for IVF, where only the healthy sperm is selected .Don't worry , The lowest count for which I could get a pregnancy was 5 million.All the best Dr.Balakrishnan | |

Eosinophil count 492 cells, montus kid tablet
i daughter has got esonophil count of 492 cells .please advice what to do? our doctor has given l montus kid tablet for my kid and asked to take for 3 weeks and again asked us take a test. | Hello, Welcome to Healthcare Magic forum. The normal range of the absolute eosinophil count is 0 - 450 /µL. So your child has mild elevation of eosinphils which can commonly be either due to allergic conditions or parasitic infestations in kids. If there are any symptoms of allergy like rhinitis, frequent cold cough, itching, wheezing etc then the treatment given is appropriate.Tablet L montus kid contains antihistamine levocetrizine and mast cell stabiliser monteleukast.Together this combination acts as an antiallergic and helps in bringing down the allergic response of the body like elevated eosinophil counts.So you may take the course and repeat the test for assessing response. However if she has minimal or no symptoms of allergy it is worth taking a deworming medicine like albendazole and ivermectin combination as single dose treatment and watch for any improvement. Also both the treatment can be safely taken together if needed as per your doctors advice. Wishing your child a speedy recovery. Regards | |

How do you test for histamine intolerance? Have allergic rhinitis. Had nasal polyps
Age 54, weight 195, type 2 diabetic, menopause , - How do you test for histamine intolerance? Allergic rhinitis my whole life, recently had nasal polyps, allergic to aspirin, ibprofen, sulfa drugs and mizicorium (an anastethic) Allergist finds very little: slight allergy to cats, goose feathers, tomatoes, dust mites. Loratadine and air conditioning helps. Also saline and a lower histamine diet. Any advice would be helpful. I believe the histamine problem is in my family for 4 generations. Thanks. | hi, you seem to be allergic to many thing also its severe.. i suggest you visit immunologist /allergy specialist and you have to under go a test called skin prick test..which will identify most of the allergens you are allergic to..once this is done then there is a treatment called immunotherapy. it is highly effective treatment.. you have to take it for arround 3-4yrs and your allergy will reduce by 80-90 percent. it is done for drugs too. histamine is a substance produced by the body itself once you come in contact with the allergen.. which causes symptoms immunotherapy is currently best treament and also very effective. thank you | |
Fell, hurt back of head. Unable to walk. Having memory loss. Prescribed Valprol CR, Pacitane. Opinion?
my Mother 79 years old now had a fall in Sept 2011 when she had an injury at the backof the head and a clot developed. She wasin I.C.U for 5 weeks when she was in deep sleep almost like being in a coma . then she came out of this state to being a normal person again. BUT she couldnot walk. She has been under going physiotherapy for last 1 year with no positive results . over the last 6 months she has tremors in her hands and now for the past 3 months or so she has a memory loss for most part of the day everyday. she has been prescribed VALPROL CR 2 times per day & PACITANE 2 times a day. Is the treatment allright ? THANK YOU. Yasmin Ahmed. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on your information, it is obvious that your mother has suffered brain damage in September 2011. However, it is not clear what was the nature of brain damage. If you can upload a pdf copy of MRI or CT scan of brain report, it would be helpful. Her inability to walk and imbalance could be related to the brain damage that she suffered earlier. Whether her current medications are correct or not would depend on complete clinical information, such as whether she had fits, or does she have features of parkinsonism. Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) Senior Consultant Neurologist |
