Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The AB + blood group suggests presence of both AB antigen in and absence of Rh factor in your blood. Reactions can occur when there is mismatched blood transfusion and a genus with different blood group. In case the fetus has different blood group, anti D immunoglobulin factor is given within 72 hours of delivery. As you have mentioned you have had the antiserum at the time of delivery. Mixing of blood (as you have mentioned) does not cause transfusion reaction. So, there is nothing to worry about the reaction. However, there is risk of reaction in subsequent pregnancies in which case you have to take anti D immunoglobulin again. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi.noted history of gallstones and kidney stones. Unlike your kidney stones, gallstones have lesser chance of being dissolved by medications especially when it has been there for a long time already. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Other diagnostics (such as repeat ultrasound, liver function tests, blood counts, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. If your symptoms are becoming more frequent, I advise you to consult with your surgeon with urgency and schedule surgical intervention electively, as emergent surgeries or procedures has higher risks and chances in developing post-operative complications. Definitive treatment for gallstones is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of your gallbladder along with your gallstones. It could be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat and low salt diet is also advised. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise your daughter to avoid trying to hold urine for a long time frequently.

Hi sadiqa786, your periods are not heavy and the flow you have described may be normal. The pains that you experience could be due to varied reasons most commonly may be due to polycystic ovary disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis or no explained cause. As you are also trying to conceive it would be best to visit a gynecologist and get yourself evaluated for the same and during the course of investigation they will be able to find any cause for dysmenhorria(pain full periods) if any. In the meanwhile you could start doing some exercise or yoga to keep yourself fit and to lose weight if you are overweight. Yoga helps in receiving cramps and helps in decreasing pain during periods. Take care!


Hello! Thank you for the query. If the pain is only in the bump area, and no swelling, redness of surrounding tissues, no need to visit a doctor earlier. Such bum is most likely a ganglion. It's a kind of cyst filled with gelatinous fluid. This fluid comes from the joint as ganglion is kind of joint herniation. It does not increase the risk of cancer. So you can wait till the scheduled surgeon consult. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done. The lump should be removed. Hope this will help. Regards.


Hello Amit, Thanks for posting your query. I understand the concern regarding your problem. You have a feature to upload the reports by yourself on the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better. I have gone through your reports. It suggests that you have low sperm count as well as the low sperm motility. Bear in mind that a men fertility can fluctuate a great deal from week to week. Lots of things affect male fertility. If your fertility is low you should have at least three semen analyses before reaching any conclusions. Do not be too disheartened by a single result. When sperm motility is less, then chances of spontaneous pregnancy decreases. This is one of the common causes of male factor infertility. This is also one of the most common semen abnormalities in men. It could be due to hormonal deficiency, mechanical obstruction to outflow tract, infection and many more. Treatment depends on the cause. Assisted reproductive technology like in vitro fertilization has revolutionized the treatment of infertility. Each year thousands of babies are born in India as a result of ART. Medical advances have enabled many couples to have their own biological child. I suggest you to see the good gynecologist for further treatment options. Eat nutritious food. You can take Vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, E, and Selenium. These supplements are available in single capsule also. I hope I have answered your query. I will be available if you have any follow-up queries. Wish you best of luck.

Gold is one of the metals which is least allergic so is titanium therefore these are your options.

Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will give you my opinion and explain you something. You should know that heart pains have some characteristics. Usually they are retro-sternal pains like squeezing, tightness, heaviness. They may irradiate to arm, shoulders, jaws, last from 5 to 20 minutes. They might be associated with fast heart beats, nausea. A prickly sensation, lasting day and night it's not a typical heart pain. If it was a heart pain, something should have happened till now. It seems much like a muscular, schematic or neurotic pain. My opinion is that this is not serious, you should not worry. You don't mention your age, but if this really bothers you a lot you should go to the emergency, and they could check this. Or, if this continues you can make a full check up. I will recommend an electrocardiogram, the cardiac enzymes, a cardiac echo and after this a stress test to exclude heart problems. Hope I was helpful. Best regards.

You will need repeat ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). On the basis of these reports, suitable anti arrhythmia Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.


Hi Nicolai have gone through the details provided by you of your husband. Its quite unfortunate that no diagnosis has been made and still he is suffering. As he had an injury to the chest I would like to recommend CT scan of chest for him as we might be missing something which could show up in the test.

Initially during and after the radiation treatment, there is swelling of tissues and that may actually worsen the symptoms. Also, it can cause infection of the bladder area leading to these symptoms. Eventually the size reduces, and the patient is relieved. Important thing is to know if the disease is under control. Get a serum PSA done and if it is normal then don't worry. The symptoms will ameliorate with time. If it is raised, then he may need some other form of treatment like hormone therapy.


Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The first problem that you have mentioned- hemorrhagic is most commonly caused by hormonal imbalance.

Dear, We understand your concerns went through your details. You are doing good. Masturbation twice a day is not at all harmful directly to your health. Masturbation cannot reduce your muscle growth directly. There are no direct health side effects of masturbation. But there are some side effects indirectly. When you masturbate, energy is spent by your body. Naturally, after masturbation you feel tired. The more time you masturbate, the more you are tired. Physically and then mentally you will be tired. This is also mental stress. Lack of knowledge about masturbation can also cause anxiety and depression. These are the indirect side effects of masturbation. I suggest you to reduce the masturbation frequency to thrice or four times a week and engage in physical activities. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

Hello! Thanks for posting your query. The course and treatment for pleurisy depends on the cause of pleurisy. Pleurisy due to some causes like viral infection do resolve with just supportive medications and time. With only chest x-ray it's sometimes difficult to differentiate pleurisy from pleural effusion (where fluid gets collected around your lungs) Hence, it is advisable to get an ultrasound of your chest done just to ensure there is no effusion. For the pain due to pleurisy, short course of simple analgesics, chest physiotherapy and breathing exercises will give symptomatic relief. Just give it time until it resolves. Hope my reply is of help. Do Chat Doctor.

Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the itching during pregnancy can be physiological or abnormal. Usually itching is present in pregnancy in 3rd trimester i.e. between 29-40 weeks. But it might not be associated with raised serum bilirubin and liver enzymes. Other condition called obstetric homeostasis of pregnancy (OCP) where there is severe itching and jaundice associated with raised liver enzymes and serum bilirubin. I suggest you to get serum bilirubin done to check for any OCP.OCP might be associated with preterm labor.Don't worry. With good monitoring the complications can be prevented.

Hello, thank you for your concern and question regarding your boyfriend. My opinion is that the surgery should be the last step for herniated disc and only after all other treatment alternative have been used and failed. I do not know the grade of the disease and what are the complaints (pain, numbness of arms or weakness of muscle and reflexes) but usually I start the treatment with pain relieve and some sort of collar for immobilization of the neck for few weeks. Then continue with physiotherapy procedures such as ultrasound magnet therapy and tens but not manipulations. Most of the time the hernia will shrink down and absorb. If your situation is the same or worse after 6 months you can start to think about the surgery which nowadays is done with small incision and the complication rate is very low. I wish you a quick recovery.

You are not saying what was the cause for the paralysis. I'm assuming it's a stroke. If that is the case usually most improvements are expected during the first 6 months, given her young age you can expect a better outcome. However, how much of her functions will she recover is hard to say without knowing the exact extent of the damage. While you should conserve hope as it is a several months long process, if the damaged area is big you should also be aware that some disability may persist.

Side effects may be nausea, mood changes or visual disturbance.  If visual disturbance is there, you should stop the medicines. Track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles.  Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks.  Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that.  Hope I have answered your question.

I presume the infection is in the testes and not limited to skin of the \"ball sac\" as you call it. If so the common causes are spread of infection from the urinary tract or occasionally affection from mumps among other causes. My practice would be to do an ultrasound of the urinary tract as a minimum to make sure there are no abnormalities there. Your physician is right in saying that it takes some time for the infection and pain to resolve after giving proper antibiotics for proper duration. Occasionally it might take 3 months for the swelling and pain to settle completely.


Normal levels of ALT range from about 7-56 IU/L. Normal levels of ALP ranges from 44 to 147 IU/L. In your child values of both ALP and ALT are within NORMAL range.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concerns. The pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) does contain few sperms. As the genitals did come in contact (even though there was no penetrative sex), there is a small possibility of pregnancy if this is your fertile period now. When was your last period?Therefore, take Pill immediately. Pill taken within 24 hours is 95% effective in preventing pregnancy. Pill does not have any long term side effects. So don't worry. Please consult your doctor and start using regular contraceptive pills. They are more effective than Pill in preventing pregnancy. If you think you are at risk of STDs barrier contraceptives like condom should be used during sex. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.

Hello dear, I understand your concern In my opinion it appears that the urine pregnancy test was done early. Usually the urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period because Chat Doctor the hormone responsible for positive test starts appearing in urine around that time. And even the symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, vomitings, increased urination, sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period. The first sign of pregnancy is missed period. So I suggest you to check for the period. In case if it is delayed go for a urine pregnancy test. It is too early to test for pregnancy and also to feel any pregnancy symptoms. As there is pain abdomen I suggest you to get physical examination done and also if needed ultrasound to rule out the cause for pain. There can be possibility of urine infection also. But chance of STD might be rare as you don't have any altered vaginal discharge and no lesion over genitalia. Anyway physical examination helps in accurate diagnosis so kindly consult doctor. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day to prevent urinary tract infections. Avoid stress. Relax. Hope this helps. Best regards...

Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, it is necessary to perform a comprehensive differential diagnosis of different causes that may mimic this clinical scenario (cardiac arrhythmia, chronic anemia, thyroid dysfunction, etc.). Anxiety could also be related to this symptomatology. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x-ray and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, cortisol plasma levels, fasting glucose, inflammation tests, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests). An ambulatory 24-48 hour ECG monitoring and a closely monitoring of your blood pressure are necessary to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. If all the above tests result normal, the most probable cause of your symptomatology would be anxiety and a consult with a specialist of this field would be necessary for the proper therapy. Hope to have been helpful! Best regards,

Hi, Thanks for writing in. The liver is a large organ where bile generation takes place. Bile is an important digestive juice and is essential. For the bile generated in the liver to reach the intestine, it has to flow through dedicated biliary channels. First the bile from both lobes of liver collects in the gall bladder and from there it is again let out in to the intestine through the common bile duct. This common bile duct is a tube like structure and is surrounded by the head of pancreas at its termination. Therefore, any pressure in or around the pancreas will cause hold up of bile. The cholangiocarcinoma can cause blockage to biliary passage within the liver leading to pooling of bile in intrahepatic location.

Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Since you are currently having Orthodontic treatment (braces), there are regions where your toothbrush might not reach for effective cleaning.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are diagnosed to have cellulitis of the leg, which is a bacterial infection of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia. It is swollen, red and the surface shows crusting. Minor trauma or cracks/breaks in the skin provide a portal of entry for the bacteria. Stasis dermatitis predisposes to infection. If I was your treating doctor I would have advised an oral antibiotic for a week (preferable penicillin group e.g. Amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid, 375 mg thrice daily for a week). A topical antibacterial like 2% mupirocin can be applied at the site of blisters. An OTC painkiller like ibuprofen twice or thrice would help you with the pain. Thank you.
