Hi, It is common for some amount of white discharge to be seen throughout a menstrual cycle and the consistency and the amount varies depending on the hormone status. The presence of an IUD is perhaps leading to the excessive discharge owing to some irritation.

A trans-vaginal sonogram is also needed to see the condition of the pelvic organs; pelvic inflammation also should be excluded. Hope this helps.

Hi, i am not a rheumatologist unfortunately, but I am an orthopedic and know about such conditions. Let me tell you what I know, that rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the bodies defense mechanism faultily fight against some parts of the body. That is for e.g. joints. When this happens your joints pain. And to detect this is a test for RA factor . But unfortunately this test is not perfect, and you may be a case where you have rheumatoid arthritis, but the test is negative ... it is an indication since ESR is high and that means inflammatory reactions are going on in the body...the best way to confirm this diagnosis is to start treating it as suspected rheumatoid arthritis ... if the medicines work ... then you know you have the disease correct and can proceed peacefully with the treatment. Otherwise newer tests are present, but they all have limitations. Like Antioch ...but I suggest carry on with your doc.regards/

Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Lactic acid arises from the glycogen stored in them muscle. When we use muscle it uses glycogen anaerobically and produces lactic acid. Being acid in nature it causes pain and numbness. The problem of this solution is regular exercise viz. running. Exercise for short time and relaxation for short time causes lactic acid to absorb in the blood circulation and pain gets relaxed. Absorbed lactic acid is than converted to other products in liver. I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here, or you can contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you, ChatDoctor

Hi, I went through the history points you have provided - I was expecting that there should have been a history of cows milk and formula feed (this too contains cows milk protein) given to the baby. I feel that your baby is having cows milk protein allergy. Unusually babies grow out of this sort of allergy by 1 year of age.  My suggestions for you - 1. Mother should go off cows milk protein completely. This means that you should avoid consumption of anything and everything related to cows milk - like - milk/ curds/ ghee/ butter milk/ chocolates/ biscuits/ ice creams etc. Even while buying commercial food products, you need to see the ingredients and if they contain milk - do not consume them.2. Feed you baby only exclusive breastfeeds till 6 months of age and then start rice based feeds. 3. If this is followed scrupulously - the baby will stop having diarrhea in another 3-4 days and then start gaining weight too.4. If you feel your feeds alone are inadequate for the baby, then Zero lac is the only option till 6 months age.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hallow Dear, Unprotected sex on the night before expected day of menses have almost no chance of resulting in pregnancy. The egg is released way back, 14 days prior to the expected day of menstruation and has life of only 24 hours. The sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, a period of about a week around the day of egg release is fertile period. Delay in her menses is likely to be due to the stress of the pregnancy. If she had any intercourse during the fertile period, then only she has to be worried about the pregnancy. Pregnancy test on urine about 8-10 days after missed period will confirm the diagnosis. The brownish discharge she is getting could be starting of her menses. If she does not get menses in few days, she may be given Tab. Devilry for 5 days and within 4-7 days she will get her menses. However, I feel, wait patiently without stress, and she will get her menses. I hope this helps you.

However, if you had penetrative sex even after a couple of times masturbation, it is better to look for the evidence of pregnancy by

Welcome to Chat Doctor! I have read your question carefully, and somehow I feel that you either have mixed seizures ( GTCS plus Dissociative) or only dissociative (due to stress) ones.

Even if now you want to confirm that whether you have GTCS, then get an EEG or serum prolactin levels, they rise in a true seizure and come to normal limits within next 24hrs, an EEG will come abnormal when you have true seizure.

HiT hanks for your query. I think you are suffering from allergic rhino-sinusitis. I think for sinusitis you are suffering from heavy head. Please go for an x-ray para-nasal sinuses to exclude chronic sinusitis and polypoid sinus diseases. If anything found on x-ray, a CT scan of para-nasal sinuses may be done to properly evaluate it. If any polypoid changes occur in the sinuses then FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) can be done to remove it permanently. Otherwise, you should continue to take telecast L, NASA but not Topped 200 for prolonged period.  In addition to that you may consult an allergist and may go for skin prick test and specific IGE tests to detect specific allergen and immunotherapy to that allergen so that you can be protected from that allergen.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Brief answer - Periodontal Abscesses per your query you have symptoms of gum swelling and tooth pain which is becoming generalized in nature it's because of presence of infection, plaque, calculus and food debris accumulated inside the gum area.

I would suggest you to visit Periodontist once and get it examine properly. Go for root cleaning, curettage and root planning as you have debris inside gums which are causing detachment of gums from arch. Scaling is not the only option as you don't have superficial rather deep debris accumulation. Use antimicrobial mouth wash. Brush twice daily with proper brushing technique. Floss daily. Do warm saline or Betadine gargles to prevent bacterial build up. Go for flap re-positioning if its is advised by periodontist. Use Sensory or any antisenstivity toothpaste to prevent generalized arch pain. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes.

Hello, I can understand your concern for hyperpigmentation and skin darkening. After analyzing your query I can get that you have the problem since a quiet long time. It can be related to simple \"Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation\" or also known as PIN or could also be due to some genetic condition. In all of these conditions the color giving cells are over active and are produce more color to the skin. The resulting situation is manifested as slightly increased pigmentation over the affected area. I generally give the latest treatment with comic acid, licorice extract, niacin amide or if required the atelier acid based creams and other latest ingredient in the treatment. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist. All the best.
