Hello, and I hope I can help you today. The bumps you likely are feeling on your cervix are most likely Nathan cysts rather than polyps.  Polyps are fleshy soft growths that are just out pouching of the normal glands that line the canal of the cervix.  It would be difficult to feel them, and they usually cause irregular bleeding or bleeding after sex.  They do not cause infertility (uterine polyps can, but those are not the same and are not possible to feel because they are inside your uterus. Nabothian cysts are just blocked mucus glands that can feel like knobby bumps on the cervix.  They also are not harmful and do not interfere with fertility. Both of these findings on your cervix can be seen on a spectrum exam, so a GUN doctor would be able to tell you what you are feeling if they looked inside you. Also, regarding the position of your cervix, this also has no bearing on fertility and does not change from month to month, so you do not need to check your cervix regularly especially if you have a yearly gynecologic checkup. Regarding BBT charting for conception, your temperature goes up AFTER you ovulate, so I recommend not checking it anymore if you know around when you ovulate in your cycle and just have sex every other day from the time your period finishes until you feel premenstrual symptoms.  Some women only have sex after their temperature goes up, and they miss the actual time of ovulation. So there is no reason to suspect you will have problems conceiving, and you do not need to be treated for this because it is a normal finding in many women.  80 percent of couples will conceive within a year.  If you have been having sex at the right time and it's almost a year, it might be wise to have a GUN exam and a hormonal evaluation, and also have your fianc\u00e9 get his sperm count checked, as 50 percent of the time it can be a male factor. I hope I was able to answer your question and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes and good luck with your pregnancy plans,

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disease of the brain, and it requires medications lifelong. Despite medications, the disease continues to get worse in severity leading to disability. Syn dopa (levodopa) is the main medication used for treating PD, as it provides dopamine (which is deficient in brain of PD patients). Postural giddiness-giddiness that occurs on standing-is a common side effect of syn dopa. To avoid this, she should be sitting up slowly, from a sleeping posture, and then try to get up slowly and walk. If she still has side effects, the dose of syn dopa may be reduced.

Hallow Dear, It seems from the medicines that have been prescribed to your wife that she is having Polycystic Ovarian Syn Chat Doctor.  In this condition, the eggs from the ovary are trapped within the ovary and they're not released; hence any cysts are formed. This leads to irregularly delayed heavy menses with infertility. This condition also is characterized by high insulin and high male hormone levels. Due to this, there is obesity, hair on unwanted areas like face, chest, abdomen, legs, etc. Medicines like Metformin and/or MYO inositol help reduce the levels of these hormones. For achieving pregnancy in such cases, some medicines have to be given for releasing eggs from ovary (induction of ovulation). To start with, usually Camphene citrate is used. This medicine can be used for maximum 6 cycles. If it fails to give desired results, BMG/Chat Doctor combination may be tried. Concomitant use of Metformin and/or MYO inositol give better results to Camphene citrate. Valet Tablet contains L-Methylfolate, Myo-Inositol, and Vitamin D3 as active ingredients. Therefore, it helps to achieve ovulation by Camphene citrate and usually does not have any ill side effects. However, this medicine should be given along with Camphene citrate. In addition to the medicines, please pay attention to her weight and BMI. Please maintain her BMI under 23.9. I am sure this will clarify your concepts about the treatment she is receiving and the ideal treatment for such condition.

Hello, The symptoms that you are describing can be caused by rapid breathing (hyperventilation) with or without low blood calcium. Is it possible that you were breathing heavy (like sometimes one does when nauseated) before these things started at that particular time.

It is also a good idea to get you calcium levels checked. Good luck.

So along with antacids you should follow these too for better symptomatic treatment.1. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.2. Avoid hot and spicy food.3. Avoid stress and anxiety.4. Go for walk after meals.5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.6. Avoid smoking or alcohol if you have these habits.7. Lose weight if you are obese.

But better to rule out above-mentioned causes. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Thank-you user for your query. I understand your concern. As per your query all I want to suggest is that diabetics may develop leg cramps as in diabetes there happens weakness of muscles mostly in legs and forearms. For this you can start taking methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily, and it should be continued for at least 15 days continuously. You should also start taking calcium in form of tablets daily and vitD3 60,000 IU once weekly. Kindly mention how many units of insulin you are taking. So far as your chemotherapy is concerned 5 years ago, well it may also cause pain in legs as chemotherapy reduces the potassium in body thereby causing leg cramps. For this I should have asked you to consume banana but since you are a diabetic, so I can't ask that. Start having high protein diet in form of soybeans, you may also consume fenugreek seeds as well. If at all pain worsens then tablet of diclofenac potassium can do your work. But you may consult any endocrinologist for your diabetes and any hematologist to check for your All too. God bless

Hello, The increased fluid in the bowels is because proper bowel preparation was not done before sonography.  I mean they didn't give you any laxative to clear the bowel. Its normal finding.

Antibiotic metronidazole can be taken for 5 days if you are in India / Africa. Let me know if any further clarification is needed. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello! Thank you for the query. Tampon is not a natural thing. So you insert something that does not belong to your body. Sometimes it can cause an irritation or even an inflammation of the uterine or urinary tract infection. Pain while inserting a tampon can be also a symptom of uterine cancer. With urinary tract infection you may also have frequent urinating and burning while urinating. Uterine infection can give bad smelling discharge. I suggest you to consult gynecologist, have transvaginal ultrasound. Urinalysis should be also done. Hope this will help. Regards.

Tumors that rapidly increase in size over a short period of time with associated enlarged cervical lymph nodes are usually malignant. If a patient had presented with these features in my clinic, I would have advised a FNAC of parotid swelling and an MRI scan. FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of parotid swelling will give a diagnosis if malignant cells are seen. MRI scan would give better tissue contrast and involvement of deeper lobe or facial nerve (which traverses through parotid gland). I hope it helps. Please discuss it with your doctor.

Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Most of the people sense the heart beat as normal and understand this and accept it as a normal, physiological phenomenon. Some people, like yourself, sense this as a pathological phenomenon. I understand that. Every minimal change in perceived \"physiological\" or normal functioning, is interpreted like pathological things. This is a cause for anxiety or fear (situational anxiety) in these people and may or may not be followed with a panic attack due to one questioning him/herself \"am I going to die?\" \"What is wrong with me?\" etc. Every time we assume a lying down position, our heart, that beats by vibrating our chest wall, comes closer to a certain area of the rib cage. If lying on the left side it is so close to the chest wall that can even vibrate the bed you are lying on. All the other symptoms you mentioned are triggered by the anxiety attack you have, because all types of anxieties have one thing in common

Hello, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, it is the function that is the indicator of how serious the knee problem is.  So, difficulty in straightening out, fluid distending it, it's moving in the wrong direction are some of the indications that something is broken.

Small problems still might be fixable with surgery like a loose tendon or a chip falling off of cartilage. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello Caroline, every pathogen is contagious. Pseudocodes is no exception. The infectivity and transmission mode may differ between pathogens though. Pseudocodes in particular can be transmitted by touching surfaces exposed to it, like the patients body or objects the patient handled. What you can do is to make sure there is clean air in the room, use gloves and avoid unnecessary contact with the patient and any object. Washing your hands afterwards is very important. Pseudomonas infections can be difficult to treat so you've got to take the aforementioned measures. I don't mean to scare you though, because in most cases - even if pseudocodes colonizes your body - you won't get sick. I hope I've helped! You can contact me again, if you'd like more information or clarifications. Kind Regards!

Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concerns. This is a common problem experienced by women taking birth control pills. Wat you are taking is a combined pill(levonorgesterl and ethinylestradiol) which contain both estrogen and progesterone. It will take 90 days(3 months) to restore your normal ovulation and periods, once you stop the pills. So hopefully you will have ovulation by mid-March and bleeding by last weeks of march. And be warned that this can vary from person to person. So don't do unprotected Sexual intercourse, as you can still become pregnant these days, if sperm reach your uterus. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

Hello. Thank you for writing to the cream that you kept on using for 4 years contains a super potent topical steroid i.e. clobetasol propionate 0.05%. This strong steroid is not recommended for face and never for such a long duration. Two weeks is the upper limit for it if in case it has to be used on face.

I suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day to protect your skin from sun. Reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours whenever outdoors.

Your skin would take some time to recover back and sunscreen and moisturizer is all that is recommended, right now. Regards

Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy is helpful, as women use calcium to make breastmilk for the baby. Vitamin C is an important part of normal healthy diet as well. However, the type of calcium or of vitamin C really doesn't matter as they all are effective and safe supplements for pregnant women. The most important type of supplement that a woman requires during pregnancy is that of folic acid. Woman must take at least 400 mg folic acid per day to help prevent certain types of birth defects.

There is no need to take additional supplements unless specifically prescribed by the doctor. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,

Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this chronic kidney disease that your mother has and the need of frequent dialysis. Increasing the interval of her dialysis sessions would just make things worse by causing a sharp rise in the creatinine levels again. The best way forward is to strongly consider her for renal transplant as this is the single and most effective treatment of this condition. Dialysis does help in the short run but very unlikely to be an excellent method for long term purposes. I think her diet is too restrictive, and the doctors should consider increasing her daily calories. I hope this helps. Furthermore, I wish her well.

Hi ! From your history, the first diagnosis to exclude is a pelvic inflammatory disease, which may give rise to pain and cramps in the lower abdomen apart from low grade fever along with nausea and dislike for food.

The upper abdominal pain could be due this as well, or may be an independent entity. You may go for an antacid, a proton pump inhibitor and if not relieved may go for a review by your family physician. Wishing you an early recovery.
