Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Please understand masturbation is normal, natural and never unhealthy. Masturbation cannot lead to impotency or any other sexual problems. Your masturbation habit cannot adversely affect your child bearing ability. Therefore, don't worry about that aspect. But I suggest you to reduce the masturbation frequency to three or four times a week because masturbation is energy consuming. If you masturbate at the present rate, your energy will be very low, you will not be able to do other day-to-day duties like studying, exercise etc. As a result you will be anxious, as you are feeling now. If you reduce your masturbation to three or four times a wee, it will never affect your sexual life. It cannot cause any dermatological problems. It cannot cause any health issues except anxiety. No other side effects. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http


Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having post infectious bronchitis or lung infection. Both of them are common after upper respiratory tract infection (sinusitis) and cause similar symptoms. So consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out lung infection. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need higher antibiotic (if it is lung infection) or inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (if it is bronchitis). Don't worry, you will be alright. But first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, Prediabetes can be treated with lifestyle modification such as


Laryngoscopy is a procedure done by specialist till your neck level or upper respiratory level to view the larynx and surrounding area for problems like voice change, hoarseness of voice, dyspnea, irritation cough etc. It can not affect back spine practically. There is possibility that his spine was extremely weak due to osteoporosis and due to some improper posture while doing the procedure spine came under pressure, and he started having the problem. Burning sensation and pain in back shows damage to either soft tissue near the spine or damage to spinal nerve or disc at that level. However the conformation can be done by MRI of affected spinal level. Based in result here you have to take opinion from spinal surgeon or orthopedic doctor on further treatment planning. Boost the patient with calcium and vitamin D as directed by doctor. In severely damage spine here doctor may ask for surgical correction also. In that case you can also take secondary opinion and go ahead with needed treatment. After this consult a physiotherapist for rehabilitation part and also take suggestion in posture as well spinal exercises which will help the patient further to improve strength and stamina of spine. You can also use hot pack at home for some more relief and soothing effect on soft tissues. Take care.


Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. Meningiomas of the orbit are benign conditions, but carry the risk of compressing the optic nerve causing decreasing the visual acuity, like in your case. If such eventuality is progressing, then there is a clear indication of surgery to remove the meningioma. Maybe the vision in your right eye will not return completely normal, but for sure it will not get worse, which seems a concrete possibility if left untreated. I definitely recommend the surgery at this point. Hope this helps, please feel free using MHC for further questions

Hello and welcome, Scanty menses indicate that most likely the endometrium was affected. Unfortunately the chances of pregnancy for endometrial tuberculosis are very low. Only 5 - 10% conceive. I understand that you are trying for a baby, but it is best that you do know the chances of a successful outcome. As of now, I suggest that first a tubal patency test must be done to check if the tubes are open as TB damages the tubes. If they are open then estrogen patches can be used to help the endometrium to grow. If repeated closed is used then it also further thins the endometrium, so closed is not recommended for more than 6 cycles. I prefer to combine it with an GUI procedure if tubes are open. For the long term if these measures fail then surrogacy using your own ovum is an option as you can have your own child with it. Hope this was helpful. Thanks for the query. Feel free to ask more.

Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As the x-ray and video x-ray is performed which shows some sort of anatomical changes in the bone position looking for the further management will be possible. Kindly meet up a physical therapy, as with videotaping there ankle joint can be made stabilize. Using an android is also the another option. Performing guided physical therapy exercises for strengthening the muscles around the joint should help regain the mobility of the ankle joint. As it is a weight-bearing joint it needs a proper strength and stability. Recovery can be slower than expected as she is 60 Years old. In my clinical practice most geriatric cases respond well to physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Kidney transplant is a common surgery now, and it is done in most cities. The transplanted kidney should be from a matching donor and this is a voluntary donation in India.

Please know that even after kidney transplant the person should be on long time medicines which will cost few thousands of rupees every month. The native kidneys are not disturbed during kidney transplant. The new kidney is put in the pelvis.

Many kidney transplants are successful on patients getting dialysis. Usually kidney transplant is done before 60 years of age. If patient is healthy then it can be done at 61 years of age after getting clearance from ethical board. Please do not worry.

If your son has had lichen plans for a year, it's better to do a biopsy and confirm it because it can be diagnosed specifically by biopsy of the lesion, a simple procedure. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, It's simple to manage with antihistamines to stop the itchiness and if large lesions derogate will surely help .as long as it is limited to skin and not involved oral mucosa, flagyl is not needed.


Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor. I had gone through all the data you have posted. As you father was a cardiac patient and h/o pulmonary edema (water in lungs) he might be on ACE inhibitor (Angiotensin converts enzyme) which can cause persistent Chat Doctor.  Allergic cough starting at 64 yrs and persisting for 1 month is rare. We need more details like CBP report or chest x-ray if it was done. Take tab. Montelukast +fexofenidine 1-0-0 for 3 days and spy. Corex 2 tsp two times a day. If cough persists, discuss with your doctor and try to change ACE inhibitor to ARB. Hope this helps.


I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern regarding side effects. It would have been useful if you had mentioned also the tablet dosage, there are different Sine met tablets with different concentration of its components, so hard to judge how high a dose is what you have been prescribed. Sine met is not a curing Chat Doctor.  So not taking it won't have any effect on disease progression, it is safe. You won't have the desired effect though. Also skipping it doesn't mean you won't have side effects after the other two dosages (if you have any side effects at all). So I wouldn't skip this dose, only if you experience side effects can you lower the dose, but not by skipping one dose but by taking say 1/4 tablet 3 times daily. I hope to have been of help.


Dear friend, thank you for your consultation.it seems that you have a low pressure in comparison to your age.

So I think your blood pressure profile is not normal, and you should go for a complete clinical examination and necessary investigations to know the cause. For this you can take suggestion from your GP also.my best wishes for you, thank you.

Even if it is stroke, early treatment is must for recovery and to prevent recurrence. I hope it helped.


HelloThanks for query. Your daughter has severe pain in kidney area and ultrasound scanning and CT revealed HY Chat Doctor.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to postpartum depression. It is a very common disorder affecting women after delivery. The repeated analysis and MRI are another argument in favor of this diagnosis. This is not a neurological problem, but a psychiatric one. I would recommend you to bring her to a psychiatrist, to examine here and to choose the best antidepressant for her. I am sure she will get better after starting an antidepressant. She has anxiety too, and here twitches in the body and the gastric pain are related to that. An antidepressant in effective against anxiety too. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

Hello, As most foot correction cases need to be helped with the insoles as they help to avoid the abnormal transfer of the weight to the joints and leading to the abnormal anatomical position of the bones. If the orthopedist has advised for the same I will recommend undergoing the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.


Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With the history of trauma, possibly the lump near your eyes is a hematoma (collection of blood) due to the hit. This might take at least three weeks for it to get absorbed by the tissues. If it does not, then you might have to consult a general surgeon to rule out any chances of a continuing accumulation of blood, or an organized hematoma, which might require some kind of intervention. The hematoma might reduce with aspiration and a pressure bandage for the present, but one can not rule out recurrent accumulation of blood in it. Therefore, it would be better not to do any invasive procedure on it without any definite medical indication. I would rather suggest you to get it clinically examined by a general surgeon in your area for proper management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Yes, you are right, the concern of cancer of the colon has to be investigated immediately by having colonoscopy after a good preparation and also to have the CT scan of the abdomen and hip joints to whether the two problems are related or not. It is possible that the cause of the pain on the right side of the abdomen be due to colitis or co. Pain in the left hip looks to be a different problem as it is there for 2 months. A good physical examination by an Orthopedic Surgeon and a CT or MRI can help to get a proper diagnosis. During such a problem it is always better to have an early diagnosis.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. So get done ECG. If this is normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Uncontrolled asthma is the cause for your chest pain. And your burping can be due to HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). HERD can cause poor control of asthma. So In your case control of HERD and asthma is needed. So consult pulmonologist and start inhaled treatment for asthma and proton pump inhibitor for HERD. Once your asthma and HERD is control, your chest pain will also be subsided.Don't worry, you will be alright.


Hello, Thanks for your query. Nausea or vomiting may be side effects of the general anesthesia or I.V. sedation.  Nausea may also be caused by motion sickness during your ride home, prescribed antibiotics, pain medication, and swallowing blood. As you talk and eat more during recovery, you may notice bleeding that comes and goes or taste blood throughout the day.  This is common.  Rarely will you need to use gauze.  If a clot has formed above the level of the gum tissue, and it is bleeding continuously, carefully wipe excess clot away with gauze, push clot back into the socket site, and hold direct pressure over the site for five minutes. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Hello and, Dementia is the loss of memory. Dementia will not interfere with walking or any other physical activity. Dementia is characterized with inability to memorize things, objects, conversation, people, etc. The loss of memory can be for things in recent past or for very old memories. The urine infection would have cleared away with the antibiotic treatment. Inability to walk can be due to some other cause, e.g. muscular problems. You need to consult an orthopedic for clinical evaluation to know the cause of inability/difficulty to walk. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.


Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and Steroid medication (corticosteroids) is the preferred treatment for polymyalgia rheumatic. Don't suddenly stop taking steroid medication unless a doctor in charge of your care tells you It's safe to do so. Suddenly stopping treatment with steroids can make you feel very ill. Some people are prescribed immunosuppressant medication, such as methotrexate. This is used to reduce or suppress the immune system (the bodies defense against infection and illness). It may be helpful for people with polymyalgia rheumatic who have frequent relapses or don't respond to normal steroid treatment. Your doctor may recommend painkillers, such as paracetamol, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.


Hello, Thanks for the query, Please note that these MRI findings should be interpreted with caution as these finding are commonly seen in patients with back pain. The treatment for such patients largely depends upon the clinical signs elicited by a neurologist. If there is pain alone, the patient will improve with medications and physiotherapy. But if the patient has neurological deficit along with pain, he/she may benefit with surgical removal of the disc which is causing the problem. The cause of the problem is degenerative changes in the disc bones and muscles and ligaments. Hope this helps Best wishes Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor .com/doctors/


Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to have food from outside to prevent any kind of intestinal infections like meiosis which might cause colitis resulting in such pain.

Further management would depend on the reports of investigations. Till then, you could go for an antispasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor.

As your investigations are negative I would think of a muscular cause and may be an entrapped nerve causing the sharp pain and referred to the scrotum. I would advise undergoing the high resolution ultrasonography of the abdominal wall; mark down the site of pain when you get an attack. This will help for a pointed investigation.


Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your history, it is typical of a sebaceous cyst with a black dot on it, which discharges a smelly cheesy material on squeezing. This is a benign cyst without any fear of turning into a malignancy. However, to prevent other complications like recurrent infections, abscess formation, it is advisable to get it operated and send it for a histopathological study to confirm the diagnosis. If I were your doctor, I would refer you to a general surgeon who after examining you physically and a preoperative check-up, might advise you to get it operated soon. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

The pain is different for the two situations, sitting / pooing. If you think he is in pain the moment just before pooping then it's a probably an analysis fissure from constipation and warrants SYVICOL if you think the pain is always when he sits on it, then he probably has an injured coccyx, and this is confirmed by an x-ray.

Hello! I read carefully your query and understand your concern. If you don't have upper abdominal pain, heartburn,nausea, vomiting,weight loss, and you are eating well without problems I think your stomach is fine. This pulsating sensation in your stomach may due to your anxiety because when you are in stress your heart beat faster, the pulse increase and blood pressure in major body arterial, such as abdominal aorta and your neck arteries, is elevated, and you might feel this like a pulsating sensation on stomach and neck. Despite this I suggest consulting a physician, so he can do a physical examination and evaluate if this pulsating sensation is objective(he can feel this by palpating/touching your abdomen) or it is just your sensation. If this is due to anxiety you will feel better after the confirmation of your doctor. Hope my answer has helped. Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor.First I would like to inform you that you have not mentioned the reference rang for bun of your test result, because it varies from one lab to another. Ideal range for bun is 7-21 mg/DL. An elevated BUN in the setting of a relatively normal creatinine, which is your case, may reflect a physiological response to a relative decrease of blood flow to the kidney without indicating any true injury to the kidney. So, in your case you are advised to take plenty of fluids orally to increase blood volume. Best of luck.


Hi, Emergency contraception taken at the time of the intercourse would help to possibly prevent pregnancy, should it be the fertile period.

Hope you find this information useful. Take care.

Hi I am Chat Doctor. .  In my opinion if medical treatment by painkillers, physiotherapy, topical gels massages, muscle relaxants, steroid injection fail for 6 consecutive months I recommend for my patient to try spinal manipulation followed by minor endoscopic interventions to free nerve compression and herniation which maybe enough for some patients others may need spinal fixation and plating surgeries are needed for permeant treatment and to prevent its recurrence.

Hello, I can understand your concern. You are right in your assumption that you have developed an allergic reaction to some substance that you are not aware about. You should start taking antihistamine such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Exocet) or Loratadine 10 mg (Forfeits) once a day for about 5-7 days. This will reduce the swelling and will make the red bumps disappear. After about 10 days to 2 weeks time, go for a blood test for allergy. This test will show what substance you are allergic to so that you can avoid exposure to it in the future. If the antihistamines do not help, then it is not an allergic reaction, and you should see either a dermatologist or a dentist for examination of your lips and further investigations to diagnose and treat the condition. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best,

Hi. Morning sickness is most common during the first trimester but can occur during any phase of the pregnancy. As for the diarrhea or bowel irregularity, this can also occur during any phase in pregnancy but as long as it does not lead to deny Chat Doctor. Other symptoms of thread worm include insomnia, bed wetting, itching around the anal region, bed wetting, skin infection, etc. Diarrhea is usually not a symptom associated with thread worm, although it can occur, it is not due to the thread worm.

Also make sure you ask your husband to help with taking care of your daughter, and also use separate restrooms. Best wishes.


Hello NaghmaThanks for your query. Please understand that Egg is immunoglobulin G which is elevated in response to an old infection.The values of Egg do not indicate any recent infection. To know whether you are positive for Rubella and CMV, you have to get IG M test done, which is immunoglobulin M, which is indicative of a recent infection, if it is elevated. If your IGM levels are increased, you need to avoid pregnancy till you are vaccinated against Rubella and immune to it. Your current values do not mean anything, they merely indicate that you are already immune against the diseases. Please get IG M tests done, and if negative, you can definitely proceed for pregnancy after proper pre conceptional counselling. Take care.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) because this can cause Fluttering and twitching sensations in rib cage. So consult doctor and get done 1.

This will cause subjective wellbeing and treat your fatty liver too. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out arrhythmia. Hope I have solved your query.
