I would have liked to know your age and the age at which your relatives developed ovarian cancer. Anyway, what you should do is get a blood test done called CA-125. If it is elevated then the chances of you having ovarian cancer are high (the higher the level, the more the risk). In that case you will have to undergo surgery for ovarian cancer by a cancer surgeon. If it is normal, then the chances of you having ovarian cancer are much less (though not zero)., in which case you should repeat the CT scan after 2-3 months. If the cysts persist or increase in size, then also you should undergo surgery. If they decrease or disappear, forget them. Meanwhile, take adequate painkillers for the pain.

The common side effects of metformin are gastrointestinal, including a metallic tests in the mouth, mild anorexia, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and soft bowel movements or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild, transient, and reversible after dose reduction or discontinuation of the Chat Doctor. Although metformin is generally well tolerated, patients taking metformin may develop gastrointestinal side effects even after many years of use. If gastrointestinal symptoms develop while taking metformin, we institute a metformin holiday, which may lead to resolution of symptoms.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety is a disorder and not a disease. You must understand that disease needs medicinal intervention and disorders not. Panic disorder always follows anxiety. Extreme panic disorder might also cause vomiting. Anxiety is subjective. Anxiety is apprehension about a future event which we apprehend as embarrassing or fearful and fear the incident today itself, whereas there is no surety that such thing may happen in the future. We all know that it is foolishness (don't misunderstand me). You are doing that foolishness again and again. Please understand. Becoming aware of the foolishness is the first step of cure. Relaxation is the key. Now you need to do as per the advice of the physician who is treating you. If you do not have insurance, you should find other means. Sitting and lamenting about your fate shall become more dangerous than the panic attack. Please understand. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you in short term. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, I think you are having bronchitis. The most common cause for this is lung infection. So I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators, antihistamines and antibiotic Chat Doctor. So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.

Greetings. Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thank you for your question. I understand your concern. If it was something heart-related, at your age there are rare conditions that can be inherited disorders, that would have palpitations for symptoms. However, these disorders are almost always caught in the EKG, and each one of them has specific EKG signs. Therefore, we ruled that out. You mentioned that the \"jump-starting\" of the heart happened in the gym. It is normal for the heart rate to go up while being physically active. In your case, it is tolerated up to 200 beats per minute (220 - age, is the formula). The anxiety or panic attacks are almost always triggered by some event, such that, the person experiencing them, knows which places or venues will trigger their attack, such as public speaking or performance, crowded places, narrow pathways etc. It works in that way that a certain phenomenon causes the panic attack. From that moment on, every single symptom you experience, comes from anxiety

Hello! Thank you for the query. Finding enlarged appendix with 19k WBC and fever and sending you home is more that risky for you and for the doctor who did this. You obviously may be suffering from appendicitis and the only way to diagnose it is to rule all other possible reasons of such conditions. The lump in your belly button can be an umbilical hernia (if it has gotten stuck, may be causing such symptoms as well, and should be treated right away) or persisted Uranus (this is a connection between urinary bladder and umbilical cord which should disappear). Persisted Uranus gives umbilicus discharge and urinary tract infections. It is advisable for you to go again to the doctor and have abdominal ultrasound with abdominal wall view, full blood work (CRP and WBC will tell either infection is rising or not), abdominal X-ray (stuck hernia can cause intestines obstruction), urinalysis. Hope this will help. Regards.

It is better to get an appointment with dentist and get his opinion also as it is difficult for me to give the advice with clinical examination

Hi, The changes described are degenerative (related to aging and lifestyle). A disc osteophyte complex occurs when the intervertebral disc moves backwards (slip disc) and the adjacent bone enlarges to try and keep the disc in place. This leads to compression of the spinal cord and adjacent nerve roots which cause symptoms. Uncovertebral arthrosis and facet join hypertrophy simply represent degenerative arthritis of some joints in your cervical spine which may cause pain by itself or cause compression of your nerve roots. Foraminal stenosis means that there is narrowing if the neural foramen which is the pathway through which your nerve roots pass. Treatment usually depends on your symptoms. If you have severe symptoms of nerve root compression (tingling or shooting pain along an arm, weakness of one hand, etc.) you may need operative intervention. However, if pain is your only symptom, you may improve only with medication and physiotherapy. You need to meet an orthopedic surgeon to evaluate your problems and discuss various options. Sincerely, Vamshi

Hello, Your Description sounds like it may be in your joint called the TMJ. Some anti-inflammatory medicine is recommended. Try a soft diet as well. Do you hear any clicking or feel your jaw shift to one side when you open? There is a disc that can be not moving correctly or damaged in this joint. Stress on this joint can occur from trauma, grinding one's teeth or an unusual use. If it persists or gets worse, consult an oral surgeon for a Andrew X-ray which will show the jaw.

The headache is present chiefly on top of head and is associated with chest and epigastric discomfort.

With due course of time there will be healing of these disturbed nerves and other tissues and then gradually your symptoms will wash off. Hope your query is answered. Thanks

Hi, In Hodgkin lymphoma no role of surgery is there. Probably you wanted to mention surgical biopsy. Now, stage II Hodgkin lymphoma is managed by chemo radiotherapy. As already 5 years have been elapsed chance of recurrence is lower but at this stage main concern will be chance of developing second cancer due to previous treatment and late toxicities due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. If radiation to neck and/or mediastinum (chest) was given previously, annual chest imaging (high resolution CT scan) is an option to identify any early thoracic cancer. Testicular swelling seems to be unrelated to the disease entity. It may be due to epididymo-orchitis. Ultrasound should be done for proper diagnosis. Take care of your son.

Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. From the description you have given, it appears as though you are passing concentrated urine and hence the smell and color. To clarify, you can get a simple urinalysis. This presentation cannot be related to the insertion of the IRENA. The intake of several foods and also mineral and vitamin supplements can give specific color and smell to the urine. You have to increase the intake of water per day to at least 2 liters. If you notice improvement, the cause is obvious. If not, you should check with a specialist for further management. Hope this helps.

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. From the history provided by you, I would think of a right sided ureteric colic. The stone in the ureter causes severe pain, sufficient to roll over, and can be referred to the upper thigh region. Another least possible reason can be ovarian, appendicular problem. Ultrasonography and relevant blood and urine test may help. I think she needs injectable form of antispasmodic like Tuscan or so.

HelloThanks for the query. Since pain is from one year and still persistent. May be due to .1 Right renal stone, sometimes transparent stone don't visible in scan and only history will find out .2 The next possibility may be right ovarian cyst or fallopian tube infection. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of right ovary with clinical and physical examination. 3 Right side bone tuberculosis, diagnosis can be confirmed by blood for E S R examination with clinical and history of illness. In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion. If you are a female patient then consult gynecologist and get his opinion. Sometimes first opinion don't find any disease but in 2nd opinion we can find out the exact reason of illness, so 2nd opinion is necessary. Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear about the cancer your mother is having. Cancer is a difficult condition, but she must fight till the end. Unfortunately survival for more than 2 years is rare, but please do not give up hope and continue treatment. Stage 4 stomach cancer is a difficult condition to treat, but she should be maintained on treatment to make the disease stable and prevent disease progression. It is difficult to do surgery in a patient having stage 4 cancer stomach. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the choices available to extend her survival and slow the disease process. With limited choices, radiation therapy might help. Please continue to give her nutritious food and also give her plenty of water and fresh juices. Giving her soft diet will be beneficial for her digestion and help her to put on weight and feel stronger. Please do not worry.

Hi, Lets start from the surgery. Your doctor may have explained to you that in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy the heart muscle gets very thickened. Such thickened muscle may produce life-threatening arrhythmias, that's why defibrillator was implanted, which is the most efficient way to prolong the life of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Also, in some cases, the thickened muscle obstructs a part of the heart from where blood flows from the heart to the aorta. Two types of surgeries, who mentioned are done in this case. They are meant to reduce the thickness of the muscle in the heart septum, thus, give a chance to blood flow to the aorta. Heart failure in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have two causes 1. The obstruction I have mentioned above 2. When heart thickened heart muscle starts work weak, and heart can't pump enough blood to the body. You can talk to your doctor to find out which one is the case of your husband. In the first case, the surgery may help. In the second case, only medications are indicated. The life expectancy of heart failure patients depends on many factors, one of them is how weak is heart muscle. But usually if you can achieve good results with medications, his 5-year life expectancy may be quite high, especially if he has a defibrillator. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, This would have to be done by a physician of course. The blocker in Suboxone is short-acting and 2 days at the very most (and more likely 12 hrs) would be enough to get the blocker out of the system. The Suboxone is still there. It is a strong narcotic. It often helps the pain. The first thing which you may have already done is to go with a heavy dose of anti-inflammatories since this does not interact with the Suboxone and is a strong pain reliever for dental pain. The Suboxone could be stopped BUT anyone on Suboxone is a high risk of having addiction problems when not on it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

This condition is called hyperglycemia it is because the protein in the body should be metabolize so uric acid is the by product of this metabolism. The uric acid is excreted out by kidney normally uric acid is increased in the body. Take a diet with lesser protein intake. It can be caused because of less enzyme in your body which under excretes the uric acid. So you go to maintain strict diet principles go to a dietician and get the right diet you have a normal life if you follow the dietary restrictions as of pains. You are given painkillers and a medicine for long term called colchicine which you have to use long term and keep checking the levels of uric acid.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. In case of spacing or irregular teeth, they are not treated individually but as entire dentition. I suggest you get an OPG and Lateral cephalogram done and visit an Orthodontist. If rest of your dentition is fine and the gap is the only thing and if it can be closed by their movement only, then your treatmentvwont require permanent braces. But usually this is not feasible as moving a tooth ultimately require whole dentition adjustment. You can go for capping or veneers for only gap closure. Or there are transparent braces these days which are less visible. Treatment with fixed braces can last from 6 months up to a year varying from case to CAS. And you may need to have a retention wire on inner side of your teeth to prevent relapse. This all needs to be decided after proper case study only. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!

Hello can understand your problem, and I am sorry about your husbands' death. You feel guilty that you couldn't save him due to panic. You missed the important hours. See just ask yourself who is most affected due to death of your husband. Your intentions were to save him. This is just because he died you have started blaming your self. You loved him very much, and could have done everything to save him from death if it was possible. There are a lot of things in world which are not under control of anyone. Death is one of them, what happened was bound to happen. Don't blame yourself as you have to look after yourself. The more you blame yourself more you will feel depressed. Please don't think about this thing again and again. Try to relax yourself with yoga or meditation. Thanks, wish you a good health.

Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I read your query and understand your concerns. The presence of recurrent leg pain and chest pain clearly indicates that the deep vein thrombosis is still going on despite the use of medications. Although there are multiple causes for it but blood disorders and interrupted flow of blood in venous system is most important. In addition, it is possible that prescribed dose of income is inadequate. I will request you to get PT and INR from nearby laboratory to know the commutability of blood. This will help you in deciding the optimum dose of Income. I hope this answers you. Thanks again.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathlessness and tachycardia (rapid heart rate) are commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. So better to 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) to rule out bronchitis. If all these investigations are normal than probably anxiety is the cause. Stress, tension and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out Pulmonary causes. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi there. Thanks for your question. It is not uncommon to have radiating sciatica kind of pain at rest. Pain which is present on sitting and lying down, relieved on movements, suggest an extrapyramidal kind of disc herniation, which is particularly common in people above 50 years of age. It is quite distressing since rest exaggerates the pain. I would suggest you to get an MRI and re confirmation the finding. Aonce its confirmed injection shots give considerable relief. If no pain relief with injection, the next step would include surgery. But surgery would surely be the last step in the ladder. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards. Chat Doctor.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This is probably a fibroadenoma which is a benign breast growth and usually there is a slow size progression over the years. I think that at this point you should do breast ultrasound and have a biopsy to be sure that this is not something more serious. Then it can be removed under local anesthesia by a general or plastic surgeon. In every case it doesn't sound serious to me if this lasts for more than 5 years. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Pain in the last molar will be due to acute peritonitis usually caused due to the impaction and infection in the gums around the erupting tooth.

If not wait for the complete eruption of the tooth. For pain ibuprofen will provide relief (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and Metro lag 400 will help in infection reduction on prescription. Do salt water gargling. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

Hi there Dowser, To my mind, there is no real appreciable difference between 2%, 5% & 10% as regards hair growth especially in women. As a dermatologist I generally avoid giving women more than 2% topical minoxidil to limit the side effects that most women face on minoxidil. It is true that in some cases when one stops minoxidil, the hair that is grown tends to fall. I would suggest you pay your dermatologist a visit. Xxxx.

Hi, How are you doing ? I don't agree with this management. Closed is Camphene is hormone which causes increase in hormone which makes the follicular growth better. But its main side effect is it will reduce the inner lining of the uterus. If this is reduced, the pregnancy chances is reduced, as this lining is needed for the embryo/ baby to get good attachment to uterus. So the better option is to have dose of hormone injections to increase the follicular size. It will be safe to increase dose of Closed in next cycle. But by just increasing dose of tablet, problem will not be solved. Better to take hormone injection from the beginning & you will get a much better follicular response. Hope I have clarified your queries All the best Chat Doctor.

Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. You should know that your symptoms are not typical of Parkinson's Disease. Depression or PTSD could explain your symptoms. Anyway, it is true that a careful physical exam from a neurologist would help exclude other possible disorders like Parkinson or any brain injury. A brain MRI would also be necessary considering the fact that you have gone through a head trauma. For this reason, I agree with you on the fact that consulting with a neurologist would help exclude other possible causes of your symptoms. But if the neurological exam and brain MRI are normal, you should continue to follow up with your attending physician. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
