9,900 | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? | Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | Patient: Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS).

9,904 | Q. What could be the reason for my acidity and chest heaviness? | Hi doctor, 9 years before, I delivered my first baby. Since after delivery, I have suffered from breathing problem. Only when I release the gas or pass motion, I use to feel relieved. I underwent all the tests and everything was normal. It lasted for 2 years and then subsided.

9,906 | 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.

9,907 | 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.

9,910 | 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.

9,923 | 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.

9,924 | 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 --> |

9,927 | 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.

9,929 | Q. My teeth are rough after accidentally swallowing Harpic. How should I treat it? | Hello doctor, I accidentally swallowed Harpic (toilet cleaner) but immediately puked it. It did not go in my stomach. But my teeth are feeling rough even after brushing.What should I do? Will this roughness last for a long time? How should I treat it? | Hi. I have read through your query and the relevant details. The Harpic cleaner contains various chemicals which are acidic and these when exposed to tooth surfaces would cause enamel roughness. That is the reason you have such a feeling in spite of brushing. I cannot guarantee that this roughness will fade away. But, the best home remedy is to do oil pulling twice daily with coconut or gingelly oil and avoiding any acidic food such as lemon or any citrus fruits or fizzy drinks. Apart from these, you could also visit your nearby dentist to get a professional polishing done. It is a special white powder used to polish teeth with a machine called pumice polishing.

9,930 | Q. What is the reason for head spinning and heaviness? | Hello doctor,My mother is 75 years old. She is suffering from head spinning and heaviness problem since the last six months. Her BP, sugar, thyroid and other blood test reports are normal. After getting a suggestion from a doctor (Medicine) she had gone on an MRI test. The MRI test (non-contrast) of brain report was given with a doubt of evidence of blooming in GRE in the left parietal lobe and right basifrontal lobe without evidence of perilesional edema and advised for further evaluation with contrast to rule out calcified granulomas and other etiologies. Also, MRI report findings include:Small vessel white matter ischemic changes.Chronic lacunar infarct in the right external capsule.Mild cerebral atrophic changes.The Doctor of medicine gave medicines for the treatment of vertigo and nerve but suggested to show immediately to a neurologist. My mother does not know the brain problem and she refuses to go to a doctor for further checking due to her fear. So, I need your help. | Hello. I have gone through the detailed query and understand your concerns. In my opinion, there is a definite need for face to face consultation as it seems to me that there is a need for cognitive evaluation. The MRI changes observed are indicative of vascular pathology and should be treated if concomitant symptoms are present. Regarding the doubtful observation over MRI, nobody can help with this. Either one sees the MRI report or you get contrast MRI. This will unearth the true pathology of blooming in the parietal and frontal lobes. Since there is no edema, it can be concluded that there is little possibility of malignancy or recent changes but it does not rule out the chronic healed granuloma.

Is it possible for gay parents to raise a child normally? | Hello doctor, I have a cousin who is gay and her and her partner just recently adopted a child and I am fearing for that child's future because of the problems it could face as an adult which is they have a greater chance of committing suicide, suffer from obesity and depression, become dependant on drugs. | Hello. I understand your concern and worries. You are right in saying that a child needs the love and affection of both parents but at the same time, it is just love and affection which matters the most. The person who is giving it becomes secondary. There is no hard and fast rule that children of gay people will have a distorted future. The point is if the child is being brought up with love, affection, care, understanding, and support, he or she will adjust with environment easily, will develop good coping skills and good caring parents are more important than the gender of parents. Parental counseling can be done. Good care, support, understanding, nurturance of the child. | Patient: Hello doctor, I have a cousin who is gay and her and her partner just recently adopted a child and I am fearing for that child's future because of the problems it could face as an adult which is they have a greater chance of committing suicide, suffer from obesity and depression, become dependant on drugs. || Doctor: Hello.

9,936 | Q. I have been trying to conceive. I stopped birth control pills. I have spotting. Please help. | Hello doctor, I have been trying to conceive since 9/11/2014, which is when I stopped birth control pills and started prenatal vitamins. My cycles before BCP (Birth Control Pills) were always regular, about 30 days +/- 1 day with a 7 day period. And on BCP, my cycles were always 28 days, with a 5 day period. When I stopped BCP, I had a 5 day period, which began my first cycle of 31 days. The next cycle began with a 6 day period and the cycle lasted 37 days. Then this current cycle, which began with a four day period, a bit lighter than normal. I am currently on CD 27 and I believe I ovulated 3-4 days ago. So, the problem here is that I start spotting on CD 25, along with light cramping. It was only a very little bit of light brown blood, so I did not think much of it. Yesterday, CD 26, I had a little more throughout the day, then quite a bit right before bed. This morning, I am still spotting but much heavier than the past two days, and am starting to get a little alarmed by this. The blood is still brown. Any ideas on why this is happening, presumably 3-4 days past ovulation? Is this cause for concern? I have never spotted ever before. Also, I started taking Vitex at the beginning of this cycle in hopes of shortening my cycle a bit. Thank you in advance for any advice. | Hi. This could be ovulation bleeding. Usually it may take about 6 months to conceive after stopping the birth control pills. But your cycle has become irregular after stopping the pills and it is difficult to predict the ovulation time now. If spotting does not stop or if you experience pain, then you should get an internal scan done to see the cause of spotting. There is possibility of DUB (Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding) or ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion. It can be seen once your period date is over. Or you may get beta HCG levels tested to confirm this along with the scan (TVS - Transvaginal Scan). If everything is fine, then you may take progesterone support in the second half of cycle to clear this.

Revert back with the reports to an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | patient: hello doctor, i have been trying to conceive since 9/11/2014, which is when i stopped birth control pills and started prenatal vitamins. my cycles before bcp (birth control pills) were always regular, about 30 days +/- 1 day with a 7 day period. and on bcp, my cycles were always 28 days, with a 5 day period. when i stopped bcp, i had a 5 day period, which began my first cycle of 31 days. the next cycle began with a 6 day period and the cycle lasted 37 days. then this current cycle, which began with a four day period, a bit lighter than normal. i am currently on cd 27 and i believe i ovulated 3-4 days ago. so, the problem here is that i start spotting on cd 25, along with light cramping. it was only a very little bit of light brown blood, so i did not think much of it. yesterday, cd 26, i had a little more throughout the day, then quite a bit right before bed. this morning, i am still spotting but much heavier than the past two days, and am starting to get a little alarmed by this. the blood is still brown. any ideas on why this is happening, presumably 3-4 days past ovulation? is this cause for concern? i have never spotted ever before. also, i started taking vitex at the beginning of this cycle in hopes of shortening my cycle a bit. thank you in advance for any advice. || doctor: hi. this could be ovulation bleeding. usually it may take about 6 months to conceive after stopping the birth control pills. but your cycle has become irregular after stopping the pills and it is difficult to predict the ovulation time now. if spotting does not stop or if you experience pain, then you should get an internal scan done to see the cause of spotting. there is possibility of dub (dysfunctional uterine bleeding) or ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion. it can be seen once your period date is over. or you may get beta hcg levels tested to confirm this along with the scan (tvs - transvaginal scan). if everything is fine, then you may take progesterone support in the second half of cycle to clear this. revert back with the reports to an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |

9,939 | 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.

9,940 | 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.

9,943 | 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 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.

9,951 | Q. My friend is suffering from neuropathic pain after a thalamic stroke. Please help. | Hi doctor, My friend, who is a 48 years old female, suffered a CVA three years back. She was diagnosed with a right thalamic hemorrhagic stroke with pericardial effusion, left hemiparesis, autoimmune thyroiditis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ischemic unstable angina, grade 3 obesity, altered glucose tolerance, and depressive disorder. She suffered a CVA after a high blood pressure episode, and her BP was 240/120 mmHg. Subsequently, a right side adrenal nodule and Cushing's syndrome were discovered, for which adrenalectomy was performed, following treatment with Glucocorticoid. The cerebral CT performed three years back showed thalamic hemorrhage. Now, she has left-sided spasticity in the leg and arm, left-sided sensory loss, and neuropathic pain. For endocrine problems, she was given Prednisone 5 mg and Synacthen 5 mg. The remaining adrenal gland does not work properly. My friend is under observațion for endocrine problems. For neurological and depression symptoms, she was given Gabaran and Rivotril 0.5 mg, twice a day. Gabaran was interrupted after approximately a month when the pain almost disappeared, but the treatment was resumed after six months when the pain was very strong. This time it had no effect, so the doctor advised her to take Carbamazepine. She took it several weeks with no improvement and interrupted the treatment. She tried Lyrica, but it did not work because of some side effects. She followed Cymbalta, with the same result. So, she returned to Gabaran 400 mg again, but the pain persists, so she started taking Zoloft 100 mg. She is also taking Cerebrolysin from 2 to 3 months and Actovegin in between. Lioresal for spasticity and she takes kinesiotherapy three times a week. Even with all these treatments, there was no improvement with the pain.

9,956 | 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.

9,957 | 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.

9,960 | 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.

9,965 | Q. Can holding wet toilet door handles lead to STD? | Hello doctor, Just wanted to ask if you can get an STD from wet toilet door handles. I live in a place with shared toilet and was having a standing up urinating. I received a text message whilst urinating and got out my phone to check whilst I was still urinating and I noticed the back of my phone felt a little damp. I am not sure why it felt damp possibly my hand may have been a little sweaty or I may have got my own pee on my hand a little but I am now really worried in case it was water from the toilet door handle.

9,966 | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? | Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally.

9,968 | Q. Am I suffering from schizophrenia? | Hi doctor, I am 25 years old. One night, when I tried to go off to sleep, I had racing thoughts that I had no control over. I did not hear any voices, just thoughts. I could not track them or process them. I was really scared as a result. This phenomenon has been happening whenever I try to go off to sleep or wake up from sleep. Now, very recently I moved abroad. I felt extremely depressed and stressed about this. I started having sleep problems all of a sudden. Being a hypochondriac, I thought this must be something fatal. This led me to be stressed, anxious and depressed. I have been searching on the internet obsessively for five months and I came across schizophrenia. I was terrified. Ever since then, I started searching for schizophrenia obsessively and my symptoms worsened. I thought I started to hear voices after reading about them. But actually at most, they are silent thoughts that occasionally mock me. I have random words pop into my mind at odd occasions. After reading about paranoias, I seem to be developing them too. I get scared or threatened by people for no reason. I am more concerned about the fact that why am I getting scared of people, rather than actually scared of them. I feel extremely detached from reality like I am just going through the motions. I am extremely tired and sleepy throughout the day. My appetite has declined completely. I cannot do anything. I visited four doctors and all told me that I have extreme anxiety and depression. Can anxiety and depression cause these symptoms? Can being a hypochondriac lead to this? When I talk to a friend on the phone, I have an engaging conversation, laugh and cheer up. And then I think, should I feel threatened by him? Am I losing control? I speak fluently and I go about my activities fine. Most of the symptoms that I have developed have been after I got to know about the symptoms on the internet and obsessed over them. I constantly cry about what has happened to my life and why did this happen to me. So, what is happening to me? Moreover, these symptoms come and go in 7-10 days. | Hi. I read your query with keen interest and understand your concerns. First of all, I must assure you that there is no evidence of disease called schizophrenia in your case. Schizophrenia is often presented with different kind of prodromal symptoms and they do not match to your current symptoms. Having said this, the symptoms are more indicative of anxiety disorder with added obsessive and compulsive behavior. This is more likely as you are already suffering with hypochondriasis, which is again a disorder from same spectrum of psychiatric disorders like obsessive compulsive disorder. I also like to inform you that stress, anxiety and depression can present with symptoms mentioned in the query and there is no doubt about that. For your clarification worsening of symptoms and spontaneous remission of symptoms are indicative of obsession rather than psychosis such as schizophrenia. In my opinion, it is time for you to engage in therapeutic process rather than moving from one doctor to another as constant approach will bring out the positive outcomes.

9,969 | Q. I have raised white lines in my mouth that I can scrape. Is it leukoplakia? | Hi doctor, I went to the ENT for a sore throat. He ended up saying I have leukoplakia. It is mainly in the gap where I am missing the tooth. He said it was in other areas around my lower gum but it pretty much wiped off of there. I then went to my dentist who said it was not leukoplakia. I then went to an oral surgeon who also does not believe it is, but says if it is not gone, to get a biopsy. I just wanted your opinion because you have always been right with the oral problems I had. Some of the white lines are raised and hard, but some I was able to scrape off with my fingernail. I also noticed a red spot. So, I am hoping it is not speckled leukoplakia. I did get a VELscope done which was fine. I have an appointment for a brush biopsy but that says not 100 percent. Do you think I should get the brush done or wait to have a real one because the brush biopsy removes the leukoplakia and then it will not be there to get a real one? In the meantime, before biopsies, what is your opinion? Do you think it is specked or regular leukoplakia?

9,971 | Q. What are the ways to get rid of high cholesterol? | Hi sir, I am 30 years old male. I am working in an insurance company. No habit of smoking or drinking. My height is 5'10" weight is 84 kg. I am getting left-sided chest pain since two years. I also have left-sided shoulder pain which radiates in the upper back and left hand pain. I had a CT angiogram last year which was normal. I had an ECG two weeks back which was also normal. When I had a blood test done last week I got to know my cholesterol levels are too high. My last cholesterol report is as follows: Total cholesterol 231 mg/dL (normal range 125 mg/dL-200 mg/dL)HDL cholesterol- 31 mg/dL (normal range 35 mg/dL-80 mg/dL)LDL cholesterol - 99 mg/dL (normal range 85 mg/dL-130 mg/dL)Triglycerides 590 mg/dL (normal range 25 mg/dL-200 mg/dL)TC/HDL cholesterol ratio calculated 7.5 (normal ratio 3.0-5.0)LDL/HDL ratio calculated 3.2 (normal ratio 1.5-3.5)VLDL cholesterol calculated 117.9 mg/dL (normal range 5 mg/dL-40 mg/dL)Non-HDL cholesterol calculated 199.9 mg/dL (normal range <160 mg/dL) I am more anxious about my condition. I am pleased for your advice. | Hi. From your query I understood your concern. Epigastric pain radiating to back and shoulders should be evaluated for gastric discomforts like gastritis and cholecystitis which is very common in deranged lipid profile. I believe this is due to hyperlipidemia. Your lipid profile is out of proportion. You need to bring these values down. Also you need investigations and thorough assessment to rule out other hereditary causes of hyperlipidemia. Below mentioned measures have to be followed to maintain the cholesterol within range, Management: A good and most important start would be to lose weight at least 15 kg. Your current BMI (body mass index) is 27 which means your are obese, reduce it to less than 25. The key is healthy diet and lifestyle, regular exercise, weight balance, etc. Choose healthier fat like omega 3, omega 6, mono and polyunsaturated fat (olive oil, canola oil, almonds, walnuts, etc) and say good bye to bad cholesterol like saturated fat. Planning diet with limited fat intake will also help. Make sure that you get no more than 300 mg of cholesterol a day. Select grains with more fiber such as wheat, pasta, cornflour, etc. Prefer fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid processed and canned products as well as fries. Eat heart friendly fish with less fat content like tuna, mackerel, salmon, halibut etc. Avoid alcohol, if impossible keep the intake to minimum and never exceed moderation levels. Avoid smoking. Doing exercise regularly for 45 minutes a day and 250 minutes a week should be your main goal. Artichoke, garlic, oat bran, sitostanol (stigmastanol), blond psyllium, margarines, etc., help. Lipid lowering agents like statin analogues can be considered too. Talk to your doctor for physical examination and let them help you in this regard. 1. Abdominal ultrasound. 2. Serum amylase, lipase, amylase to lipase ratio. 3. Urinary amylase. 4. GI endoscopy. 5. 24 hour pH monitoring. 6. Work up for hereditary causes of hyperlipidemia. 1.

9,974 | 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.

9,975 | 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.

9,978 | 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.

9,980 | Q. I took Flonase for hay fever and had chest tightness. Can I continue taking it? | Hello doctor,I started taking Flonase at night for hay fever and when I wake up in the morning I am having wheezing and my chest is tight. I do not want to stop taking it because it is so helpful for my allergy symptoms but I am really worried about this side-effect. Current medications are Cymbalta 120 mg/day and Suboxone 5 mg/day and Sprintec. I am a 29-year-old female with height 5’1" and weight 108 lbs. | Hello. Flonase (Fluticasone) is an intranasal steroid spray that has very less systemic absorption. It will help relieve allergy symptoms and will not cause wheezing. In fact, for wheezing, you may need another steroid, like an inhalant steroid using inhaler or Rotavap (rotary evaporator). Budesonide or Seroflo and Salbutamol are such inhalers. The other medicines you are taking, namely Cymbalta (Duloxetine) and Suboxone (Buprenorphine), are they prescribed by the same doctor? Usually antidepressants are not combined with the deaddiction drug. Do you experience any other symptom? Since when are you taking the two drugs together? Is the wheezing only after starting the Flonase? Or along with hay fever, you got wheezing as well? Please write back.

In fact, for wheezing, you may need another steroid, like an inhalant steroid using inhaler or Rotavap (rotary evaporator). Budesonide or Seroflo and Salbutamol are such inhalers. The other medicines you are taking, namely Cymbalta (Duloxetine) and Suboxone (Buprenorphine), are they prescribed by the same doctor? Usually antidepressants are not combined with the deaddiction drug. Do you experience any other symptom? Since when are you taking the two drugs together? Is the wheezing only after starting the Flonase? Or along with hay fever, you got wheezing as well? Please write back. For more information consult an allergy specialist online --> | patient: hello doctor,i started taking flonase at night for hay fever and when i wake up in the morning i am having wheezing and my chest is tight. i do not want to stop taking it because it is so helpful for my allergy symptoms but i am really worried about this side-effect. current medications are cymbalta 120 mg/day and suboxone 5 mg/day and sprintec. i am a 29-year-old female with height 5’1" and weight 108 lbs. || doctor: hello. flonase (fluticasone) is an intranasal steroid spray that has very less systemic absorption. it will help relieve allergy symptoms and will not cause wheezing. in fact, for wheezing, you may need another steroid, like an inhalant steroid using inhaler or rotavap (rotary evaporator). budesonide or seroflo and salbutamol are such inhalers. the other medicines you are taking, namely cymbalta (duloxetine) and suboxone (buprenorphine), are they prescribed by the same doctor? usually antidepressants are not combined with the deaddiction drug. do you experience any other symptom? since when are you taking the two drugs together? is the wheezing only after starting the flonase? or along with hay fever, you got wheezing as well? please write back. for more information consult an allergy specialist online --> |

9,982 | Q. I was informed that my baby's head is not yet fixed for normal delivery. Please explain. | Hi doctor, I am 26 years old, and this is my first pregnancy. I am in my 39th week, and my due date is by next week. When I consulted my doctor, she said that the baby is healthy, and the head is in down position only, but the head did not fix yet. She asked me to wait till due date and then she suggested for C-section. Is there any possibility to avoid C-section? | Hi. Let me give you a few basic facts of pregnancy and delivery. As it is your first pregnancy, the uterus is experiencing the process of delivery for the first time. Baby's head is the only thing in the whole world which can decide if the outlet of your pelvis or the hip bone or the way out through the bone is enough for this baby, it may be different for next baby with different weight. Delivery is not those few hours which you spend in the labor room. The uterus starts to contract more and more frequently, gradually the cervical canal opens, becoming softer day by day and on the part of the baby, the head turns a few mm in angles and directions trying to fit into the bony pelvis. It is like trying to fix a tight cover to a cushion. It has to be manipulated in all different angles till the right angle is got. Usually, God sends baby that fits the mother, unless you have some other problems changing the size of baby or mother's pelvis. It is called engagement. If the size is not fitting well, then baby's head will keep floating above the pelvic bone. If you force it, then it can cause distress in the baby. In this time keep a watch for four things. If none of these are seen, then you can wait till due date and definitely try for vaginal. Happy motherhood in advance. All the best.

9,984 | Q. What shall I do for heavy periods and anemia? | Hi doctor, I am 24 years old. I have had irregular and painful periods since I started my first periods in 13. I have a kid, who is 3 now. It was a normal vaginal delivery and I did have a fibroid that came out later that day. But as of lately, I have been having a very pink tinted discharge with pain and uncomfortable. My last menstruation was very heavy and painful. I got up from bed to go restroom to change and my thighs were trickling with blood. I felt horrible with painful lower back pain, nausea and I almost threw up from it. I got in the shower hoping to feel better, but as soon as I got in, it felt like someone flipped my switch off. My arms and neck went limp and everything started to go white. My mother helped me to lie down in bed. Then, I felt cold, clammy and shivering. I took two Tylenol to help the pain, which it did. I went to the doctor that day and she just drew my blood and said I was anemic and not pregnant. I followed up with a gynecologist, he said it could be endometriosis and everything else is fine. He also told me that I have high risk HPV. I have had a transvaginal ultrasound that showed everything pretty much fine except for the follicles on my ovaries. I am so confused about my health condition. Please help. | Hi. I hope you are feeling better now. Have you been started on Iron tablets? I would suggest tablet Livogen XT (combination of Iron, Folic acid and Zinc sulfate) once at night with a glass of lime juice for better absorption. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Continue the above for three months minimum. You will feel better in about one or two weeks. I also suggest a deworming medicine tonight and skip Iron tablet. A single dose of 400 mg Albendazole is sufficient. From tomorrow onwards restart the Iron tablets. This should take care of the anemia. With regards to the endometriosis, this is something that can only be confirmed by seeing with the eyes under a laparoscopy. If your doctor wants to take a look under laparoscopy, then you should consider it once your hemoglobin is back up. The advantage is that any endometriotic lesions can be burnt with cautery at the same time and if it is a fibroid which is causing these symptoms, then it can also be treated simultaneously by laparoscopy if it is average sized. Endometriotic cysts can also be treated if found at the same time. The rest of your scan sounds normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity) so do not worry.

Get your blood pressure regularly checked and take your medicines to keep BP under control.

9,987 | Q. I am an alcoholic. Do I have the risk of liver cancer? | Hello doctor, I am a 34 year old male. During recent times I am feeling a fear of having liver cancer due to my history of heavy alcoholism. I have mentioned my risk factors below: My body weight is 89Kg and my height is 166cm. I had mumps at an age of 5 years. I have kidney stones (as per the reports attached). I had hepatitis A in 2004. I was a heavy alcoholic from 2008-2012 with a daily intake of almost 300mL hard spirit daily. I reduced alcohol intake after being diagnosed by grade 1 fatty liver in 2013 October. Presently, I have pain or sensitivity on the upper right quadrant, a day after drinking alcohol. I have alcohol weekly twice and the pain goes away after 3-4 days of abstinence from alcohol. High calcium level as per attached blood report. Low vitamin D level as per attached blood report. I have sensitivity in the neck area. Although I have been having a good appetite, I still feel that I may have a very initial stage of HCC (Hepatocellular carcinoma) or any other liver complication. My questions are: What is your opinion towards the risk factor of having HCC on the basis of attached reports and above mentioned risk factors? I am using Livatone plus since last 4 months, one capsule 2 times a day. Do they interfere with alcohol drinking 2-3 times in a week? I have recently started to take multivitamin tablets (Ranbaxy Revital) once daily, without any prescription, after feeling tiredness and fatigue. Is it fine to take these tablets? Is tiredness and fatigue a cause of long term alcohol abuse? Do you suggest any further test and if yes, then within what time limit can I do it, as I am planning to go for a whole body check up only after 3 months due to insurance restrictions? If I have very initial stage cancer, will it reach to a complicated level after 3 months? I feel breathless after having food, is this due to the reason I am asthmatic as this symptom relieves once I take a puff of Asthalin? Or, is it due to any liver complication? I feel darkness under eyes, is it due to any liver disease which may be progressing? Do my high albumin level and low alkaline phosphatase levels signify any liver complication? Does a normal LFT rule out HCC or Cirrhosis at early stage? | Hi. Final advice is just forget alcohol and any other bad habits as well as HCC.

9,989 | Q. Will combined oral contraceptive pills help treat acne and female pattern hair loss? | Hello doctor, I am a 38 year old female, and I am currently taking Tetracycline tablets 500 mg, twice a day for my adult acne. I have been taking them since last year. Previous to this, and sometimes still, I use Duac 10 mg or 50 mg topically. I used this on my back and face for about a year before the Tetracycline. I was put on Marvelon when I was 15 years old, for acne as a teenager. I was on it until I was 36 years old, with a couple of small breaks to be put on antibiotics because the acne came back. I resorted to the combined pill when I was 35, and I visited a dermatologist since my hairline was receding. They did a biopsy of my hair and told me I had female pattern baldness. When I came off Marvelon two years ago, I lost about three-fourth of my hair. It is traumatizing since I knew I might lose some but just did not realize how much. I was told by doctor after doctor, that it would grow back, and none of them would refer me to a dermatologist about it. I am still waiting to see one, my appointment is after two months. Some of my hair grew back, but it has since fallen out again. My hair and skin distress me all the time. From the research I have done, going on the pill so young and for so long, with female pattern baldness was one of the worst things I could have done, but of course, this was not known back then. My dad had acne his whole life, and my sister has PCOS. My dad also has type 2 diabetes, so I am aware we may have issues in our family with excess androgens. There is hair loss on both sides in the family, male and female. My doctor and dermatologist will not prescribe Spironolactone. I am aware my options for my skin and hair are limited. I have had stomach issues since being on the antibiotics as well as candida in my mouth and vaginally. I take probiotics. I do not want to be on the antibiotics much longer if I am honest, my skin does not heal as well as it should while on them. I am wondering if I am not absorbing my nutrients well enough since my hair is still falling out. Could the Tetracycline be causing more hair loss? I have had my iron tested. My ferritin is about 50, and I take iron when I can since I know it needs to be about 80 for supporting my hair. The doctors here would not test for anything else since they deem my iron and thyroid to be at acceptable levels. I am considering going back on Marvelon again simply to have a break from the antibiotics, and other supplements I am taking and also because maybe it will have a good effect on my hair. What would you recommend? Do you think going back on the combined pill will help my hair grow back or at least stop it from falling out further? Will it fall out again though when I come off of it? I am not in a relationship right now, but it is my hope to still meet someone and have a family. I know my skin was always really good on Marvelon, and my sex drive is not so much. I also wonder, will coming off Tetracycline mean that if I take it in future it would not work again or will take longer to work? Will it cause me problems with building up resistance? I read a lot about how people's acne comes back with a vengeance once they come off. I do not want to start with a treatment such as Minoxidil since there are side effects and it is a lifetime treatment, any gains I make will just fall out again should I decide to have a family. For this reason, I have not tried Accutane, but could not start this until I have seen the dermatologist anyway. I would be concerned with this anyway since I heard it can cause hair loss in itself. I have started derma rolling and use a laser on my hair too. I take silica and MSM for my hair but have not tried Biotin since it can cause acne. I am just very frustrated and sad about the lack of interest or help that is been offered here in my country. Hence, I am asking a question here. Any advice you may have would be really appreciated. Is Marvelon the best to go back? Are there others I could consider, which are also anti-androgen? What are the long term effects of something like Spironolactone? | Hi. For more information consult a dermatologist online --> | Patient: Hello doctor, I am a 38 year old female, and I am currently taking Tetracycline tablets 500 mg, twice a day for my adult acne. I have been taking them since last year. Previous to this, and sometimes still, I use Duac 10 mg or 50 mg topically. I used this on my back and face for about a year before the Tetracycline. I was put on Marvelon when I was 15 years old, for acne as a teenager. I was on it until I was 36 years old, with a couple of small breaks to be put on antibiotics because the acne came back. I resorted to the combined pill when I was 35, and I visited a dermatologist since my hairline was receding. They did a biopsy of my hair and told me I had female pattern baldness. When I came off Marvelon two years ago, I lost about three-fourth of my hair. It is traumatizing since I knew I might lose some but just did not realize how much. I was told by doctor after doctor, that it would grow back, and none of them would refer me to a dermatologist about it. I am still waiting to see one, my appointment is after two months. Some of my hair grew back, but it has since fallen out again. My hair and skin distress me all the time. From the research I have done, going on the pill so young and for so long, with female pattern baldness was one of the worst things I could have done, but of course, this was not known back then. My dad had acne his whole life, and my sister has PCOS. My dad also has type 2 diabetes, so I am aware we may have issues in our family with excess androgens. There is hair loss on both sides in the family, male and female. My doctor and dermatologist will not prescribe Spironolactone. I am aware my options for my skin and hair are limited. I have had stomach issues since being on the antibiotics as well as candida in my mouth and vaginally. I take probiotics. I do not want to be on the antibiotics much longer if I am honest, my skin does not heal as well as it should while on them. I am wondering if I am not absorbing my nutrients well enough since my hair is still falling out. Could the Tetracycline be causing more hair loss? I have had my iron tested.

9,990 | Q. Which is the best medicine for rosacea? | Hello doctor, I am 32 year old female. My past medical history includes rosacea (15 years), perioral dermatitis (7 years), melasma and hyperpigmentation in the upper cheeks for three years and ADHD. I am currently under Noritate, occasional Elidel during flare up and Adderall 2.5 mg daily. My hyperpigmentation on my upper cheeks has been progressively getting worse over the last several months. The pigmentation is well demarcated with areas of normal skin. I work indoors and the most sun I get on a daily basis is my short 15 minutes car ride from home to work. I cannot pinpoint the cause of the hyperpigmentation and melasma. I am not on any type of birth control and do not believe the source to be hormonal. I am hesitant to try lightening agents as I have had adverse effects in the past. I am going to trace back the pigmentation for you and maybe you can help me out.Before three years, I applied Noritate and Ziana to my face. My skin in general was fine. I had only one area of pigmentation on my face, right side of face 1 inch x 1 inch. As that was noticeable I asked a dermatologist if there was anything that I could do to lighten it. She gave me Tri-Luma. I decided to put the Tri-Luma on the affected area and also a few freckles on my upper cheeks. The next day I became extremely red and out of fear of triggering my rosacea I dropped Tri-Luma immediately. Then after a month, I stopped taking Ziana, because I moved back to a colder climate and my face was getting too dry.After some eight months, the area of pigmentation (right side of cheek) was started getting darker. So, I decided to give another try for Tri-Luma. I again applied it to the larger area of pigmentation and to the tiny freckles on my upper cheeks. The decision to apply it to the freckles was purely a cosmetic decision. The next day those freckles turned into full blown pigmentation. I immediately stopped the Tri-Luma and the pigmentation in those areas has basically been there up to present day. At that time, a local dermatologist had suggested me to apply some cortisone cream to the areas to lighten them up. The pigmentation subsided very minimally. I did not apply the cortisone cream thereafter. The pigmentation from this point waxed and waned in intensity up until two months back. Then, it has remained prominent. There were a few times during this two year span where my perioral dermatitis flared up and I was told to restart Ziana, which also made the pigmentation worse. I was unsure whether the Ziana was bringing the pigmentation to the surface or whether it was in fact making it worse. I went to two dermatologists who had differing views of stop Ziana and keep using Ziana. I decided to stop as it appeared to be getting noticeably worse. Again, I do not know if this was a whole process of bringing the pigmentation to the surface or not. Please share your thoughts. | Hello. Well, here I discuss everything one by one.

9,991 | 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.

9,992 | 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.

9,993 | Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion. | Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. | Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> | Patient: Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water.

9,995 | 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.

9,998 | Q. Our 2 months old baby poops all the time. Please suggest some medicine. | Hi doctor, Two months ago, my wife delivered a baby boy. 10 days before, we brought the baby home from my wife's place. Since then, he poops all the time and it is mostly mucus-like with a little odor and watery. I guess there is some fungal infection around the baby's anus. We went to the doctor and he prescribed a few antidiarrheal syrups. But, there is no recovery at all. The baby is crying most of the times. They also suggested to use a dusting powder, but it seems that it is not helping much. He still has pain. We cannot seem to find where we went wrong or the doctors we went to do not take their jobs seriously. Everyone at home is so tensed for the baby's health. Also, from birth, the baby is making some sound when inhaling. The doctors used nebulizers and the suction machine. But, the sound is still present. The pain issue has been present for two weeks and the infections have worsened after medications. Please help. | Hi.
