9,800 | Q. Is repetition of image popping into mind a symptom of OCD? | Hi doctor, I am a 25 year old male. I am scared of turning into a gay or homosexual. In the past, I had senseless and intrusive images popping in my head that I am kissing a guy whenever I used to be with my male friends. I never felt an attraction towards any guy. It happened six years before, but never thought about the reason. This thing stopped when I asked about this issue to a doctor and he said it as OCD. Everything was fine for over six to seven months. But, when I over think about why I am getting those images in my mind then the thing gets worse. I check every time when I see a guy whether I am attracted to him or not. Indeed, it sounds like I have gone mad. In my office there is a guy who is very attractive. But, when I fantasize him just to check whether I am normal or turning into a gay, I feel weird. But, I cannot stop myself looking at him. I envy him too, because I always wanted personality, health and voice like him. Whenever I see him I feel something different as if I am looking a girl. I am scared now. Please help. | Hello.

9,801 | Q. Is it normal to have multiple migraines in a week? | Hello doctor,I need your advice, please. I am a 44-year-old working mother of three children and normally in great health. In the last 20 years, I have had about three visual migraines. There is no headache and I get back to normal 30 minutes later. This week, I had a visual migraine on Monday, felt a bit nauseous afterward for the rest of the day. I woke up on Tuesday and felt normal. Then about 8.30 AM started with another visual migraine. Then, I had a terrible headache and vomited. The right cheek and right arm went numb that lasted all day. I had another one on Wednesday and a fourth on Thursday. The thing that is worrying me is that I am still not back to normal. I could not remember people’s names at work on Friday and felt totally spaced out and at times confused. I did not remember speaking to my mother on the phone this morning. In fact, I rang her and when she answered through the car speaker I had forgotten it was me that rang her. I saw my GP on Friday and she said no red flag symptoms but she has referred me to a neurologist as I have had multiple migraines and this is unusual. My appointment is on the 20th. The thing that I want to know is should I be going to the ER sooner for a scan? I know myself I am not behaving normally and my close family and friends have noticed. | Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms could be related to status migrainosus, which causes a temporary dysfunction of some brain regions related to persistent migraine attacks. For this reason I would recommend performing a brain MRI (which would be better compared to the CT scan) and some blood laboratory tests to investigate for possible causes which have triggered these frequent migraine attacks as follows: If a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) cannot be performed in a short period of time, a brain CT (computed tomography) scan would be an option in case of persistent migraine attacks.

9,802 | Q. I have neck and shoulder pain that go away when I lie down. Any suggestions? | Hello doctor,I complained of neck and shoulder pain. It was diagnosed to be muscle spasm by a doctor. X-ray has been taken. I was given cream and Muscadol tablets. I used ice and some exercise. It worked over 90 % but the problem is I feel pain after sitting on a chair for 10 minutes continually. It goes away when I lay on my back. Any suggestion please? Note it is an old problem approximately four years. Also, nine years back, I suffered from neck stiffness. | Hello. Your young age makes arthritis (wear and tear) unlikely. And you did not mention any history of traumatic injuries to your neck. The issue seems to be postural as the pain appears after sitting up and resolves on lying down. It would be useful to check the Xrays to confirm there are no bony issues. You will then need to have your desk and chair adjusted to allow support for your neck. There are also some neck braces that you can use for added support. I hope you find this answer helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions. For more information consult an orthopaedician and traumatologist online --> | Patient: Hello doctor,I complained of neck and shoulder pain.

These will give a permanent solution for your nasal block and sinusitis. For further information consult an ayurveda specialist online --> | Patient: Hi doctor, I am a 23 year old male.

9,804 | Q. I have problem with erection after using penis extenders. Have I done irreversible damage? | Hi doctor, About four years ago, when I was self-conscious about the size of my penis, I started looking into ways to increase the size of my penis. Never long-term, but I tried penis water pump and penis extenders. A few times that I used the penis extenders, the ring may have been very tightly packed around my penis while I was using it and due to the stretch it caused, and tightness, I lost circulation to my penis tip to a point the tip went numb and cold. After that, I started noticing my erections are much weaker and sensitivity has gone down significantly. Besides that, I also became very self-conscious and psychologically worried that I may have made my ED worse. I did not have problems getting an erection, but maintaining one was more difficult and my erections were softer. I stopped having sex. After three to four years, when I masturbate, the quality of the erection is much better and I am able to keep the erection but the sensitivity is not quite back. Also, my climaxes are much weaker and they do not feel as good. In the last year that I have masturbated, I have not had issues maintaining an erection when I am masturbating but I believe the sensitivity is not back. I am worried having sex, I will begin to lose the erection fast. I have red skin marks under the skin at my penis tip that is not going away. Is this due to dead cells? Have I done irreversible damage? Is there any treatment as I now am hoping to become sexually active? Many of my problems are from using the extenders and penis pump aggressively even though it was short usage and regretful decisions. | Hello. I saw the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The penis looks almost normal. As you are able to masturbate, post-marriage, sexual activity will not be an issue (rather it is better). Aggressive stretching may have caused some damage but from your description, it appears it will not affect your married life. Feeling an orgasm is also dynamic. It may become better after marriage and is unrelated to stretching. Do not worry. If after marriage there is any issue, you can consult again at that time.

9,806 | 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.

For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | patient: 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. || doctor: 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. for more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
9,807 | 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.

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.

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.

9,810 | Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? | Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

9,814 | Q. I cannot read the fourth line on the eye test chart. Is my condition amblyopia ? | Hello doctor,I have done my eye test. During the test, I cannot read the fourth line of letters even with the lenses they provide. All the lenses I have tried. Is it serious? What is the problem? I am very tensed. | Hello. In order to answer you, I need little more details. If you noticed this all of a sudden, then I have to think of something like keratitis or severe dry eyes. But If you do not have any other problems like gritty eyes, red eye with blurred vision, an inflammation (like keratitis), is unlikely which is a kind of a swelling in your cornea. If you are a frequent computer user and mostly live in air-conditioned rooms, dry eye can be an issue. Then you feel a discomfort in your eyes as if you got sand in your eyes. If so, there is no harm in using a tear supplement like refresh tears. It will make you at ease. Next, if you have been using glasses before or you should have been using but you ignored it then there is a problem. There is a condition called amblyopia where if your eyes have a problem since childhood that is ignored the brain starts forgetting your eyes. If you start full correct glasses at a very young age hopefully before 10, then there is a chance of reversing but after 17 years it will not correct and it is not possible to do anything. At your age, we have to consider keratoconus where your cornea is getting weaker, making it protrude like a cone. Usually, there it is present as a frequent need to change spectacles. There we need to see a map in your cornea with its thickness which is called a topography. And further, we need to see the back of your eyes to see your retina and optic nerve. I suggest you consult an eye doctor not a family doctor to sort this out for you. You need to be physically checked with an instrument called a slit lamp with lenses and sometimes may need investigations.

9,817 | Q. Why do I have sleep problems when not on melatonin supplements? | Hello doctor, I am a 32-year-old female and overall in good health. Starting last month quite suddenly, I started having insomnia issues. The symptoms were difficulty to fall asleep, sensations of adrenaline, waking up scared when falling asleep, a sensation of weakness or numbness in both arms, mental agitation, restless legs syndrome, falling asleep late, waking up several times per night, unable to get back to sleep and having very vivid dreams. I just felt very weird altogether. I had this pretty bad for about a week last month then starting feeling a bit better with just one to two wakes during the night usually around 4 to 5 a.m. At the end of last month, I started taking melatonin supplements before going to bed, around 1.5 mg before going to bed and it made me sleep very well. I fell asleep within 40 minutes of taking it and then sleeping well throughout the night. Yesterday, I stopped the melatonin since I did not think I was supposed to take it for a long time and I had a horrible night. I woke up six to seven times, staying awake between 10 to 40 minutes each time, dreaming very vividly, being aware that I am dreaming while asleep, did not feel like I managed any deep sleep at all. I do not know what exactly is the matter with me. I am now fearing sporadic fatal insomnia and that is not helping things at all. I feel very distressed now.A bit about my context. I am a mother of a 1-year-old who sleeps in the same room with me, but he sleeps well throughout the night. I do check him whenever I wake up from sleep. I have done that since he was born but only had insomnia in the last one to two months. I am a bit stressed with all the work involving staying at home with the small child but nothing extreme. Last summer, I started having migraine with an aura all of a sudden during the stresses of starting solids and having to employ my non-existing cooking skills. I had an MRI and an angiogram and it was clear. I was diagnosed with migraines with aura and had a few of them for a few months and then they seemed to have stopped two months later. In the last three to four months, I also started having occasional hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations with visual patterns appearing, pulsating with my own pulse and.or rotating my vision. I can only see them when there is dark and they disappear in about 5 to 20 minutes.I also have autoimmune hyperthyroidism, which only occasionally acts up. I have had this for 13 years. I only take medications when my thyroid acts up. I never had insomnia with this condition and I do not feel like being hyperthyroid at the moment with normal pulse, not a lot of anxiety, no panic attacks, not losing weight but I will check it tomorrow just in case. However, even if I am hyper, I would still not be sure the insomnia is related to that since I never had insomnia as a result of my thyroid condition. I have no one in my family with fatal insomnia, but my mother did have insomnia as a result of her anxiety and depression. This started when she was over 40. I do not have depression and have only mild anxiety related mainly to this new onset insomnia. First of all, can this be sporadic fatal insomnia because this scares me a lot during the night? Also, can this be some sort of psychosis or whatever? Something neurological? During the day, I feel and function normally. Today I do feel especially shaken up and feel unusual. What else can this be? Is the melatonin working well for me? What should I do? Any advice? | Hello. If you are suspecting something like sporadic familial insomnia, it is wise to see a neurologist with your specific complaints. This is because it is very difficult to diagnose on the basis of symptoms only. It needs investigations like genetic analysis and sleep studies to confirm. My advice would be to not get overly anxious but to see a neurologist and get investigated properly. Also, melatonin is completely natural and safe and if you were feeling so relieved with it, it is wise to continue it for now. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take it.

9,818 | Q. My mother's oxygen level is 70 % even after treatment. What to do? | Hello doctor, My mother is 63 years old. She is having severe cough from more than a year, and last year, she was admitted to the hospital. The doctors gave O2 therapy and BiPAP for four months, and she was fine for few months.

9,823 | 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.

9,824 | 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 --> | patient: 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? || doctor: 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 --> |

9,827 | Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? | Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

9,830 | Q. Why am I not interested in studies? | Hi doctor,First time, when I was in the hostel I acted like fainting. So, they took me to the hospital and after checking BP, the doctor said it was low. The next day, I got very high fever and came home. Then after some days, I went hostel as I had kidney pain. I was brought here and had a scan. The report said that I have hydronephrosis. So, I joined as a day boarder. While studying I do not understand anything. I got zero in mathematics and I informed my mom that I cannot understand anything. My mom asked me to practice, but I am not getting interest. My exams are getting near and I do not know anything. Whenever there is an exam, I am not going college on that day. Sometimes, when I am alone, I feel something different in my body and I feel as if I am missing the past. When I see a situational scene or a song, I feel bad. I want to make my parents happy by seeing my marks. Please suggest me some ways to interest in studies. | Hi, Welcome to the icliniq.com. I completely understand that you are feeling a lack of interest in studies and unable to focus on your studies. According to research, there can be various reasons behind the lack of interest in studies and low concentration. 1. It can be due to learning difficulties in children. 2. It can be due to negative past experiences such as having failures, something negative related to study environment or teachers or fellows or due to any other academics related factors. 3. There might be psychological causes behind your lack of interest, avoiding exams and getting affected by past memories. You need to specify your age, level of study and for how long you are experiencing these problems, both academic and emotional issues. You also need psychological assessment of the symptoms you mentioned as feeling something different in body, missing past experiences, getting emotional by watching particular scenes or listening songs. First of all you need a complete psychological assessment by a clinical psychologist. It will include testing related to your academic problems and psychological issues like lack of interest, avoid studying, negative past experiences and unusual sensations in the body. You will get a feedback of your assessment and then you will be better able to understand the reasons of your problem. On the basis of assessment results, your psychologist will recommend an appropriate treatment plan for your academic and emotional problems. Here, I am advising you a relaxation exercise. You can do it before starting your study. Relaxation exercise helps to improve concentration. It also relaxes your mind and body out of stress and problems. Do a relaxation exercise or deep breathing to calm yourself and focus. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a deep breath and focus on the air going in and out. Focus on your muscles from head to toe of your feet and relax every muscle. As your body gets completely relaxed, imagine something positive, watch yourself studying and enjoying the material you are reading or writing. After your necessary adjustments open your eyes. Do this exercise every day. I appreciate you consulted for your problems at initial stage. Do get your assessment done as soon as possible. Delay in the treatment or ignoring your symptoms may increase your problems.

9,839 | 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.

9,840 | 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.

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.

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.

9,843 | Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? | Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out.

9,854 | Q. How to deal with teeth grinding that developed due to brain tumor? | Hello doctor, My nephew is 2 years and 5 months old and he had a brain surgery two months ago to extract a brain tumor. It was an anaplastic ependymoma on his fourth ventricle. After brain surgery, his awareness was low and he was on a ventilator for 50 days. He is doing well know, but our main problem is his teeth grinding (bruxism). It started five days before the surgery and it got worse after surgery. His teeth grinding made us extract three of his teeth and it is getting worse and it makes him cry and while crying he goes out of breath. His doctors do not know what to do about it. Please help us if there is any drug to make it better. | Hello. Sorry to hear about your nephew. Due to the tumor for which he was operated, the cerebellum (small brain) was affected. Due to that, he has developed bruxism which is a rare complication. Unfortunately, there is no effective established recommended treatment. Some have tried different groups of drugs like short course of L-dopa, Bromocriptine, and Baclofen. Out of all these, Baclofen has the least side effects which can be tried. Baclofen can be given as 10 to 15 mg per day in two divided doses. Let me know if the bruxism is more during daytime or while sleeping.

9,855 | Q. I have red patches on both legs with tingling. Are these early signs of DVT? | Hello doctor, Is red warm patches on both legs, with tingling early stages of DVT? I went to the ER and they sent me home. I am currently on L-carnitine, L-Argentine, Suboxone, Aspirin, Fluoxetine, and Buspirone. | Hello. No, it is not an indication of DVT (deep vein thrombosis). The earliest symptom of DVT would be swelling, which is usually unilateral associated with pain. Rash may occur but in later stages and associated with swelling/pain, which may occur due to venous congestion. Also, I guess there are no risk factors for DVT like bedridden state, lower limb surgery, long haul flight, etc. So I do not think this is DVT. Now, why are you on Aspirin and other medications? Do you have any systemic disease which could explain these symptoms? Regarding possible causes, these are inflammatory skin rashes, which may be due to due to allergies, insect bites, viral infections, skin irritation due to clothes and more likely possibility is of drug-induced as you are on medications like Aspirin, etc. So try to correlate with the above-mentioned factors. I hope this helps. | Patient: Hello doctor, Is red warm patches on both legs, with tingling early stages of DVT? I went to the ER and they sent me home.

9,857 | 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.

9,858 | 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.

9,859 | 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.

9,861 | Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? | Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

9,863 | Q. How to know if abortion was successful or not? | Hi doctor, I found out that I was four weeks pregnant last Tuesday. I took Misoprostol sublingually three times on three hours interval. Later that evening, I had serious cramps and diarrhea. I bled a little and passed out blood clots twice. Then the next day, I noticed I was passing out blood tissues. I felt the drug did not work. Two days after, I took another 4-pill of Misoprostol. I had fever for some few hours plus diarrhea and cramps. I bled a little few hours later. Was the abortion successful or not? | Hello. Medical abortion is available once a pregnancy is detected via ultrasound (usually around five weeks) up to nine weeks (63 days) gestation. The abortion is achieved using a combination of two medications which work together to terminate a pregnancy. If you feel it is incomplete abortion, I suggest you meet your doctor and get a scan done to confirm that the abortion is complete. If it is not complete, the doctor may advise you what to do next. If it is crossed nine weeks, he may plan a surgical method. Please consult your gynecologist at the earliest. He/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

9,870 | Q. Is it necessary to shave beard before a general anesthesia? | Hello doctor,I am scheduled next week for out-patient surgery to have a malignant tumor removed from my bladder via a catheter inserted into my urethra. Before that, the anesthesiologist will administer a general anesthetic as well as a muscle-relaxant to keep me from kicking when under. The procedure also involves administration of something. I am not clear whether it is anesthetic or just oxygen via face mask. Here is my question. I have invested the past couple of years in growing a full, bushy beard. The RN assigned by my HMO told me I would have to shave, or trim down (way down), my beard in order to get a good seal for the mask. Is this really necessary? Is it possible that the nurse was speaking on the basis of a hygienic or even aesthetic concern about my beard rather than on the basis of a sincere concern about the possibility of a little gas (be it anesthetic or oxygen) escaping out the side of the mask? I mean, if the concern is really a hygienic one, I will be happy to shampoo the beard the night before as I had planned to do anyway. | Hi. That is worth a concern for both for your anesthesiologist and you too. Let me elaborate it to you. General anesthesia involves making a person unconscious and making him totally relaxed by giving a medication called muscle relaxant. With unconsciousness and muscle relaxation, a person cannot breathe by himself under general anesthesia so he has to be administered oxygen with help of a bag and mask ventilation supplying positive airway pressure so that his lungs expand during controlled inspiration and relax during passive expiration. Hence this procedure requires a good mask fit on your face so that your anesthesiologist is able to ventilate your lungs with life-sustaining oxygen. Also as I read in your history you are weighing 97.52 kg with a BMI of 41.99. You are considerably overweight which means you would require more concentration of oxygen during general anesthesia. So an overweight patient with a bushy beard is always a challenge for an anesthesiologist. To achieve a good mask fit in such a patient is always difficult in order to provide oxygen and other inhalational anesthetic agents effectively. So, it is not that hygiene is a concern but it is a safe administration of general anesthesia a major concern in your case. I would suggest, consult your anesthesiologist for a spinal anesthesia which involves anesthetizing lower half of your body in which bladder tumor surgery can be performed. This would avoid general anesthesia and would also save your beard.

9,872 | Q. My wife and I started having fever and chills at the same time. Could it be HIV? | Hello doctor, For the last two days, I have a headache, fever, chills, sweating, and body ache. On contacting my doctor, he advised me to go for a dengue test in which NS1Ag came positive, and the doctor has advised for an ELISA test which is yet to be done. Now, I am worried as the HIV symptoms are same as that of dengue. Am I infected with HIV? Also, I traveled back to my country 10 days back to see my wife. She started having the same symptoms as me at exactly the same time. I have been sexually active outside my marriage for the last couple of year. I had unprotected oral sex, as well as protected penetrative sex with sex workers a couple of times. The last time my wife and I had sex was nine months ago, after which she conceived and gave birth to our baby last month. Her last HIV test was done seven months ago, as part of the pregnancy check up. As I can see from the reports available it was negative. But, since she is having similar symptoms, I am extremely worried for the three of us. Please let me know if all is well. | Hello. I read your query and understood your concern. Hope it was helpful.

Now, I am worried as the HIV symptoms are same as that of dengue. Am I infected with HIV? Also, I traveled back to my country 10 days back to see my wife. She started having the same symptoms as me at exactly the same time. I have been sexually active outside my marriage for the last couple of year. I had unprotected oral sex, as well as protected penetrative sex with sex workers a couple of times. The last time my wife and I had sex was nine months ago, after which she conceived and gave birth to our baby last month. Her last HIV test was done seven months ago, as part of the pregnancy check up. As I can see from the reports available it was negative. But, since she is having similar symptoms, I am extremely worried for the three of us. Please let me know if all is well. || Doctor: Hello. I read your query and understood your concern.

9,873 | 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.

9,874 | 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.

9,875 | 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.

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.

9,877 | Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? | Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

9,882 | Q. How to remove the scar in my face following a skin infection? | Hi doctor, I am a 29 year old male. I developed a skin infection on my face. It is in three places. One on the right corner of forehead, one just near below my right eye and then one just below my right lip. Symptoms started with some itching and redness. Below my lip some kind of small blisters were first seen. Then later I felt more tingling, itching, burning sensation and crawling on the skin. I went to a dermatologist in my locality and he prescribed tablet Teczine and Flucort cream for a week. Then on my second visit, he prescribed Zanclav and Cortimax. And in my recent visit, he prescribed Alaspan and Tendrone cream. I will be visiting him again after a month. Now, all the symptoms have gone and it subsided with the help of the medication being prescribed. But, the thing is that I have big scars remained which making me worried and uneasy. The scars on the forehead and lower lip are like a kind of cut incision being made. The skin got separated. The one below the eye is just a pinkish red scar. I am worried about the scars. Will those scars return to normal skin as those skins are separated each other deep inside? I am sending the picture of my scar. Kindly give a suitable advice and suggestion how to go about it. I want my normal skin back. My immunological investigation, hematology analysis and liver function are normal. Thank you. | Hi.

I am a schizophrenia and heart attack patient. | Dear Doctor, I am being treated for Schizophrenia which was diagnosed 10 years back, and suffered heart attack during December 2013. I underwent angioplasty (PTCA + Stent) during the same month. I was taking psychiatric drug Sizopin 200mg before the attack; and was asked to abruptly stop the drug after the attack. Currently I am on psychiatric medications as Arip MT 30mg (0-0-1), Oleanz RT 5mg (0-0-2), Ativan 2mg (0-0-1).

Now, I suffer from anxiety attacks which are of a sudden onset. During anxiety attack, I breathe heavily, and I feel detached from the surroundings. I feel like I am losing control of my self and fear that I will go mad. I find it difficult concentrating on work during anxiety attacks, and also I am feeling very tired and weak during the day.

Part of schizophrenic illness - If you have these attacks irrespective of medication status that it is likely that these are the part of your schizophrenic illness. Withdrawal effect of one or another drug- If you are inconsistent in taking your medicine then this reason is a strong possibility. The duration of anxiety attacks is one of the strong factor that determines the diagnosis. Before we proceed for medication or treatment of these attacks you are requested to post more information about it. You can also book for an online phone or video chat consultation, so the problem can be evaluated in detail.

9,890 | 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.

9,891 | 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 --> | patient: 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? || doctor: 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 --> |

9,894 | Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? | Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

DVT (deep venous thrombosis) that is a blood clot in the legs does not cause burning sensation but causes swelling of the affected leg and you are already on blood thinners.

9,897 | Q. Please suggest some treatment for abscesses, which look like an insect bite. | Hello doctor, I have two abscesses, which looks like an insect bite with a dark spot at the center. Both the abscesses are hot to touch with acute pain. One of them is filled with pus and has started to drain slowly. I have attached the photos. Please suggest some medicine. | Hi. It would not be an insect bite unless it appeared overnight. After reviewing the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it looks like an infection of the hair follicle. For such a skin infection, overweight and diabetes are the risk factors. I would suggest you the following medications. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicines with their consent. Follow the above medicines only if you do not have any other diseases, and not on any other medications. As some people are allergic to Amoxicillin, in such a case stop the use of the medicine and consult a doctor. Applying ice and washing the area with ordinary soap and water will help with the pain. For the pus discharging site, cover it with a disposable dressing like Primapore adhesive dressing. Also, get your fasting blood sugar level checked.

9,898 | Q. Is it safe to take oral contraceptive pill? | Hi doctor, My girlfriend had irregular periods and USG pelvis showed PCOD. So, she is taking COCP. In spite of taking the drug properly, she missed her period this month. Is anything wrong with her? What to do now? Does she need to continue the drug? Or should she stop it? I heard that COCP may cause cancer. Is COCP safe for her to use? How long she can use it? Or please prescribe a medication for her which she can continue safely to solve the problem of menstrual irregularity. | Hi. Combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) is absolutely safe for her. It does not cause cancer (low dose COCP). Just check the content of COCP which she is taking. If dose of Estrogen (Ethinyl estradiol) is 20 or 30 mcg, she can safely continue the medicine. In fact, COCP in such a case prevents endometrial cancer due to its progesterone content. Regarding missed period, it normally does not happen with COCP. Normally period starts between 3 and 15 days of stopping the last tablet in the pack. If it has been more than 15 days since last tablet, consult a gynecologist. If it has been less than 15 days, she can wait till 15 days from last pill for periods to come. In any case, she cannot start next pack without having periods unless instructed by doctor after examination. Do not forget to tell her to use another form of contraception like condom if she is sexually active.
