000001300 | Hi... I have just red through your question - I think these are the possibilities -1. Stranger - due to concentrated urine. Give him a glass of sugar water followed by 2 glasses of normal water and this will settle the issue if he passes large amount of urine.2. Balanoposthitis - please consult a pediatrician as this might require antibiotic therapy.3. Urinary tract infection - Unlikely as there is no high grade fever or vomiting. But better to get a urine routine analysis done if the symptoms are not better by suggestion number one.4. Posterior urethral valves - get an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis done. Regards - | |
000001301 | helloThanks for query. Based on the report of your semen analysis that to have posted I would state that your sperm count is very low compared to WHO standards (Oligospermia)and your semen is acidic in nature. It is vital important for semen pH to be alkaline so as for sperms to survive in acidic environment in vagina and to move forwards in to uterine cavity to fertilize female egg to result in to pregnancy. The Chat Doctor. | |
000001302 | Hello, In the current situation, the best choice of contraception for you would be the IUD and the IRENA would perhaps suit better. You can as well go for permanent contraception through vasectomy or tubal ligation if you do not want any more child Chat Doctor. To decide on the method best suited for your wife, she needs to see a specialist for a proper evaluation and after preliminary investigations, the appropriate device is given. If an IUD is inserted, regular follow up is mandatory. Hope your query has been answered. Take care. | |
000001303 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, it is possible to have breathlessness even if you are not a smoker. Not only cigarette smoke, pollution, dust, chemical Fumes etc. can also cause bronchitis. When they inhaled in lungs, they cause irritation and inflammation (bronchitis). And this bronchitis causes breathlessness. Inhaled treatment is the best treatment for bronchitis. You are not improving because you are not taking inhaled treatment. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will improve with inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |
000001304 | Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor I have looked through the question and can understand the stress that you must be facing. Based on the question, nephritic or nephrotic kidney disease. There is a chance that there is a chronic renal failure in which the body is not able to excrete the waste substances in the body. This will be most evident with a high level of creatinine in the blood. There are a few modalities of treatment for this. You can start on conservative treatment initially and if your son is stable, then he can control his diet and lifestyle habits so that he can avoid dialysis. Dialysis eventually will start as the kidney function worsens. After some time, itching of the skin and rashes will become prevalent. At this point, I would recommend him to get treated with dialysis. You can also start dialysis early to help him not develop any symptoms. Do talk to a kidney specialist, and you can confirm the Doctors opinions with me. All the best for your son. Chat Doctor. | |

000001309 | Hi, I am so sorry to hear about these not very stellar kidney function tests numbers and all the inconveniences that this has caused you. I have taken a look at these numbers. They are not ideal but somewhat just over the bar for the normal upper limit. The good news is that these numbers have been stable over the months and implies that it is not an ongoing disease process. For now, these numbers are not alarming and undergoing further aggressive testing to explore even further may not be the wisest of decisions. It is already good enough that this subtle increase has been picked up and would be monitored to see when more testing and intervention would be needed. There is no reason to be too concerned about this right now. As for water, Chat Doctor. A benchmark of 1.5Litres daily would be a good start and adjusted accordingly based on daily activities and requirements. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care | |

000001312 | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, HCT stands for hematocrit. Hematocrit is the measurement of packed red blood cells. The upper limit of packed cell volume in females is less than. Value of 56.3 is a high value. Thus, this high value of packed cell volume has to be investigated and managed accordingly. High packed cell volume is usually due to polycythemia which may be primary or secondary. You will need to consult a hematologist as suggested by your treating doctor. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. | |
000001313 | Hello, I understand your frustration. Use the words \"medical necessity\" when discussing your dental treatment. You must treat your abscesses in your moutChatDoctoring from your teeth. You have dental problems as a result of a medical problem. Your medical coverage probably excludes dental treatment except for certain surgeries. Try consulting with an oral surgeon or root canal specialist, an endodontist, to see if there are some codes that overlap between dental and medical conditions that can be utilized. In some instances, a refusal of coverage under a dental code allows submission to medical coverage. Keep open your discussion. Do not give up. This is a difficult area to ad Chat Doctor. | |

000001321 | Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As the trauma described by you was 3 weeks old, I would not consider an intestinal injury or an internal organ injury on my priority list of diagnoses. Most likely diagnosis would be a soft tissue injury of the abdominal musculature and sub-cutaneous tissue resulting in a hematoma formation coming up as a bruise which would take at least 3-4 weeks to get absorbed. However, this needs a clinical assessment to be very certain about it, and if I were your doctor, I would also recommend an ultrasound of the whole abdomen to rule out any kind of internal injury. In addition, I would prescribe an anti-inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. | |

000001324 | Hi, Thanks for your query, There may be many problems faced by patients after IRENA removal. The symptoms you have listed are one of them.

000001326 | Hello, If he fainted at night and is complaining of dizziness then, at this point I still believe he needs a cardiac workup which should include a 12 lead ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (EKG) along with a HOLDER OR EVENT monitor which will monitor his heart rates and rhythms since he may be suffering from a cardiac arrhythmia causing him to feel this way or pass out. Another specialist who may be able to help is a neurologist in order to make sure that he is not suffering from severely decreased blood flow to the brain through either the carotid artery system or the posterior vertebrobasilar system which also cause dizziness and fainting if not enough blood is reaching the brain. Yet another thing that the neurologist may consider would be a SEIZURE DISORDER that can both cause dizziness during an attack and fainting (referred to as the POSTICTAL STATE if it is a seizure event). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. | |

000001333 | No spinal stenosis does not cause FM. FM is a diffuse process of hypersensitivity in cutaneous nerves or free nerve endings which is poorly understood in terms of how it starts, what the risk factors are or even how to treat it. Spinal stenosis would be expected to cause many different symptoms than FM and be highly localized to the spinal segment or dermatome segment involving the spinal roots that are being affected. FM is throughout the whole body....not spinal stenosis. Please rate this a 5-STAR ENCOUNTER and write to me at www.bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. | |
000001334 | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Gallbladder sludge refers to a thick material that is not absorbed by bile in the gallbladder and allowing this to accumulate over time can cause stone formation which will then obstruct flow of bile and can cause further pain and discomfort. Surgery is a standard form of treatment in gall bladder sludge formation. However, you might request your doctors for a trial of non-surgical treatment with Chat Doctor. This does not work in every patient, but you can try taking it for a while and adhering to dietary restrictions. Should the medications fail to respond then a surgery is the only form of definitive treatment. | |

Actually at the back of the tongue there are some taste buds, which are known as circumvallate papillae, and they are slightly elevated from the normal tongue, so they are slightly uncomfortable and noticeable.

000001340 | Hi, thanks for the brief history. Since you mentioned your spine issues and head injury I feel its more of a nerve related issue. It won't be MS. as for MS there are different sorts of symptoms and much more to into for. Also, you will be under medication by the physician which are doing their job. What I need from your side is to think about the physical therapy. Many cases with what you mentioned spine issue I have seen with the similar symptoms. With a regular physical therapy, medication, meditation, etc. they are helped. Getting strength in the muscles during the pain and little control muscles is tough but not impossible. Kindly discuss with the Neurologist, how about doing physical therapy, and I am sure he will guide you for one, and you will be helped along with the medication as well. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery. | |

000001345 | Hi, Yes,inhalers are comparatively safer than any other form of asthma treatment like oral. The medicine inside an inhaler goes straight into the airways when you breathe in. This means that you need a much smaller dose than if you were to take the medicine as a tablet or liquid by mouth. The airways and lungs are treated, but little of the medicine gets into the rest of the body leading to lesser and lesser side effects. The advantage of inhalers over other forms are that they are causing instant relief (bronchodilatation) by relaxing the muscle in the airways. Thanks. | |
000001346 | Hello, I can understand your concern. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a nerve problem that has to be controlled with painkillers as that is the only effective management of pain instead of invasive treatment.

They can also suggest you other options that can be effective to you for long-term pain free episodes. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best, | |

Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. I hope I have answered your query, take care. | |

000001349 | I welcome to Chat Doctor. The prognosis of hepatitis c virus infection is difficult to guess without investigations like viral load and genotypic. However, as her liver enzymes are not grossly elevated and she doesn't appear to have features of cirrhosis, she's probably having a dormant infection. Diabetes complicates the issue by promoting fatty liver. Prognosis can only be estimated by keeping in constant follow up with a gastroenterologist as hepatitis can flare up at any time and condition may complicate. Hope I am clear | |

From your given history I do not think you have a ligament tear or maybe partial so i don't want you to worry.

000001354 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should get done chest x-ray and PFT (pulmonary function test). Possibility of either lung infection or bronchitis is more because both these can cause cough with chest congestion. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. You may need antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports. Don't worry, you will be alright. For speedy recovery, better to 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. | |

000001356 | Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to several problems. The main cause may be a stroke, causing loss of sensibility in half of the body, causing unsteady gait and inability to control the hand properly. Another problem would be a polyneuropathy, typical in diabetes, but it is associated with pain and tinglings in both feet and hands. Diabetic patients can also have seizures from high blood glucose, causing numbness in half of the body, but these are episodic, non-permanent. So to conclude I would recommend a good neurological examination, a full blood work, HbA1c and a brain CT scan. If these tests result normal, an Electroneurography for polineuropathy and a EEG would be necessary. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Greetings, | |
000001357 | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. Regards - | |
000001358 | Hi, Thanks for the query. Better to take folic acid from one month before the pregnancy. Usually 400 to 800 micrograms of folic acid is needed during pregnancy. But as you had previous history of microcephaly (possibly), you have to take 4000 micrograms of folic acid per day. This high dose can prevent birth defects in the baby. Ideally two years break should be there as you had cesarean section but with proper followup one year gap is enough. Take care. | |
000001359 | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of cough and stuffed nose which is due to severe upper respiratory tract infection.

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin at least for 10 days along with bucolic agents. Go for complete blood count. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods.

000001364 | Hello user, I understand your concern. Tablet propranolol is used for prophylaxis of migraine attacks, it is not useful for acute attacks. So if your sister is having occasional headaches only (less than 4-5/month) - and if she would be my patient I would have advised taking medicines like 1 tablet headset(sumatriptan+naproxen) SOS basis only - however if attacks are more frequent and troubling than propranolol can be given in the dose she was earlier maintained on (but if psychiatrist stopped it, there could be some rationale behind it so better to discuss with him/her rather than taking medicine on own) propranolol can cause hypotension, can worsen preexisting respiratory difficulties, can worsen depression, and glycemic control among other side effects- but they do not occur in all patients-hope I answered your query, any followup queries are welcome - if satisfied please rate the answer | |

000001374 | Hello thanks for asking from Chat Doctor for your health related queries can understand your concern. Loss of parent and then loss of job has probably built the significant stress which has precipitated these symptoms. The repeated panic attacks, feelings as if you had heart attack, anxiety episodes, lightheadedness, fear of sleep etc. could denote a panic disorder or anxiety disorder. As per my opinion you should consider consulting a psychiatrist for these symptoms. In most cases Behavior therapy coupled with relaxation exercises like Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercise, Breathing Exercise help to reduce these symptoms and also reduce the intensity of attacks. If these methods don't result in improvement then medicines like SSRIs along with benzodiazepines can help. Benzodiazepines in low doses can be utilized to reduce the symptoms of severe panic, and you will be able to function normally. Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care | |
000001375 | Hello, Normally couples married for one year have intercourse 2-3 times a week. But having less frequency does not point out towards any specific disorder especially when it is not associated with any problem with sexual performance (Erectile Dysfunction/ Premature Ejaculation) or other depressive/anxiety features (decreased interest in pleasurable activities/sadness of mood, hopelessness, death wishes).It's a possibility that he may be stressed out and not yet ready for kids therefore not going for intercourse. You need to talk to him and be open about your desires of sexual gratification so as you two can sort this out to resume your healthy sexual life. You may have to let him see the woman in you so as he should be attracted to you sexually more frequently. The reason for his lack of sexual desire if persists despite that may be depression, low testosterone (male sex hormone) levels, or other medical conditions such as diabetes or thyroid problem which decreases the libido. Since the reason for your depression is lack of sexual gratification by your husband, that is the treatment for you. If your depression persists, see a psychiatrist and get couple counseling. Hope the answer is helpful. Take care and feel free to ask queries. Regards. | |

000001377 | Hello ! Thank you for your question. In my opinion you have nothing to worry about it. The headache you have is caused by the contracted muscles of the scalp due to hair traction by the band in this case. It may be also aggravated by a wrong position of your head (during staying or writing, working at the computer), from psychological stress, etc. Dizziness is another feature of this kind of headache (Tension type Headache). Nothing is going to happen to your brain if you continue holding the band. Your brain is well protected! We have seen in patient who underwent brain surgery, that the bands very straight to the head can cause damage to skin in the pressure point, but it is not your case. Your band is not so tight, also you don't have it on during night. You may just make pauses (remove it) remove it during the day, so your muscles get a little relaxed. You will get pain relief. Hope to have been helpful to you. Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes, | |

000001395 | Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your moms symptoms. But based on the symptoms you have listed and the physical signs you are describing, she seems to be suffering from Acute cholecystitis (Inflammation of the gall bladder) most probably due to gall stones. I would suggest you to get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen as soon as possible and also do blood tests to confirm the same. If the diagnosis is confirmed, then the current recommendation is to proceed immediately with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This operation is routinely done in a number of surgical centers. If it has been more than 48 hours since the symptoms began, then I would suggest some painkillers and rest and plan for a cholecystectomy six weeks later once the inflammation subsides. Hope this helped and hope your mom starts feeling well soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details if necessary - rxsuresh@gmail.com | |
000001396 | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. To my knowledge, its a private hospital. You can always ask at reception. Has he seen an older scan, to notice it doubling in size.? Doubling seen on CT scan, may be due to tumor. Ask him what he suspects ? If there's a full-fledged operation theater, then only major surgery is done. Kidney surgery is done by laparoscopy routinely. Open surgery isn't done. In govt. Hospitals, therere no charges for services. In private hospitals, it varies in each. All doubts may be cleared, by sending a direct question to me. Chat Doctor. Manga. | |
