Hi, Thanks for writing in. Multiple fibrolipoma is a rare benign hereditary syn Chat Doctor. 002% has been reported. Men are affected twice as commonly as women. Being a benign condition it will not cause any risk to health in any person having it. However, there can be slight discomfort due to appearance of lumps of variable size measuring from few mm to 5 cm. Marriage is advisable as it is a rare condition and is completely benign. However, it is better if you tell your spouse about your condition and get her to understand that this condition is not dangerous to you in the future.

HelloMosquito repellent contains permethrin compound. When consumed in toxic dose it can cause mild to severe toxicity depending on the dose and body metabolism. The symptoms may be mild nausea, vomiting,abnormal movement of body, increased salivation, respiratory distress and even respiratory failure and coma. As your child has not consumed the liquid and just chewed the stem, chances of toxicity are less. But as I said it depends on body metabolism and metabolism of every child is different, be careful with the symptoms I mentioned above. Once there are toxic symptoms only washing of mouth and giving plenty of fluids is not sufficient. One should consult emergency room for proper assessment and management if needed like gastric lavage, inj atropine, IV fluids etc. I would suggest you to be careful with any abnormal symptoms and if there is any consult emergency medical room immediately.

HiT hank you for your question. One of the reasons for persistent pain is pseudoarthrosis or nonunion at the attempted fusion site. Stenosis is narrowing of the spinal canal that predisposes to paralysis. If that is the case documented on your MRI you will need to see a spine surgeon as surgery is indicated in that scenario. A CT scan of the cervical spine can diagnose the nonunion. It can be effectively treated with surgery which is a last option if pain is the only complaint, and it is not effectively controlled with pain management modalities.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Premature ejaculation is uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration. It happens with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. Most cases of premature ejaculation do not have a clear cause. With sexual experience and age, men often learn to delay orgasm. Premature ejaculation may occur with a new partner. It may happen only in certain sexual situations or if it has been a long time since the last ejaculation. Psychological factors such as anxiety, guilt, or depression can also cause it. In some cases, it may be related to a medical cause such as hormonal problems, injury, or a side effect of certain medicines. In many cases premature ejaculation gets better on its own over time. Treatment may not be needed. Practicing relaxation techniques or using distraction methods may help you delay ejaculation. For some men, stopping or cutting down on the use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal Chat Doctor. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.

Welcome to Chat Doctor, Perhaps I can give you some insight into the few labs you have given, but we don't look at labs without specificity and the entire lipid panel, not just one value and be able to give you an accurate impression of what they mean. In general, a fasting laboratory glucose test 125 mg/DL and above verified in the same manner twice is indicative of a diagnosis of diabetes. 5.7-6.4 A1C is prediabetic, but you have not mentioned whether these values are fasting or postprandial. A fasting triglyceride level is an independent risk for heart disease and standards recommend keeping it below 150 mg/DL. A level of 219 indicates a need for a low fat, high fiber, low fructose/high fructose corn syrup diet. So, I hear you are worried about your health. I do see some risk factors you can lower. A good public health diet is the Mediterranean Diet with no added sugar, no alcohol, and cut the fructose out, eat whole food and avoid added sugar. You would benefit from an exercise program to stimulate cardiac circulation. I would suggest both cardio and strength training routines. If you need to lose weight, losing it will be most helpful for lowering triglycerides, sugar and increasing overall health. Keep in touch periodically with your personal doctor to have your labs monitored and explained. You gave me a UA without a creatinine. However, I would keep my eye on the kidneys if you were my patient. A UA of 30 protein could be significant, would like to check with creatinine ratio. Possibility of decreased kidney function. What is your glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? If you are in early stages of kidney decline keeping your protein lean and low might preserve the functioning you have. In summary, if you were my patient I would counsel you on a low fat, high fiber, high water, lean low protein diet with no added sugar and limited fructose. Read labels, no high fructose corn syrup. I would also advise a full physical and referral to a Dietitian witChatDoctorplete labs, diagnosis and diet order for an individualized lifestyle plan. You will feel much better for doing something about your concerns now than later. My best wishes for your continued health. Kathy J. Shatter, MS.RUN

Hi. I can understand your concern. Yes lung injuries are seen and do take time to recover. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis.

You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi I think you should try at least for a year if your periods are regular and there is no obvious problem. But if you want, you can go for some blood test like Thyroid profile and prolactin level. You can try ovulation induction with timed intercourse for conceiving if you don't conceive in next 6 to 8 months. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chance of pregnancy. Hope it helps.

Hi, You should have mentioned the disease you are suffering from and the chemotherapy protocol in detail. For low platelet count there is definite guideline for management depending on clinical status and quantitative platelet assessment. So you should have also mentioned the exact platelet count.

Hi, thanks for writing in. Spicy foods are known to cause gastrointestinal upsets. You seem to be having two issues1. Upper abdominal discomfort. For this I would suggest you to take sucralfate suspension in the dose of one tablespoon after each meal three times a day for at least 5 days. Avoid spicy foods. Increase the consumption of bananas and cucumber which are natural antacids.2. Since the passage of stools is smooth you need not worry. Just take hot water fomentation for the perianal problem. That will relieve the symptoms. You can add half a sachet of magnesium sulfate powder to the tub of water in which you are going to sit for applying hot water fomentation. This remedy will give you instantaneous relief. Regards

Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, Urinary tract infection in female patient is challenging, if the case is associated with other medical condition as it is being stated here then it would be more challenging. Ideally giving antibiotic in Urinary tract infection without culture sensitivity test is not advisable, the test rule out the possibility of infection due to organism because it may not be the organism that could cause the symptoms, second administered antibiotic without the test could cause the resistance, in geriatric patient great care need to be taken for urinary symptom particularly in female patient it may not be the infection but the whole urinary system need to be taken under clinical consideration, the most important is source of infection it is to be found out. Hope this information helps.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description, it is not enough to diagnose. Tiredness is due to laziness (if not otherwise diagnosed). People like to do nothing if there is an option. But we do a lot of work. We can't think of sitting idle for more than half an hour. That is because we are agile. But lazy people are habituated to sit idle and do nothing. Naturally they become lazy. Lazy mind is devils workshop and other behavioral problems like anger, aggression, irritability etc. follow. The best method to get rid of all these problems are to compulsorily engage yourself in activities. Go for a job. That shall change you. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hi, I can only give general outlines of information without being there. Fortunately, that's pretty good in this case since it is like any other pain situation. First, defining what the problem is. On the one hand, it's done, you know what part is causing the pain, BUT why it is causing the pain is an issue. Mostly, this occurs with MINIMAL JOINT PROBLEMS, and it is from the hip cartilage wearing through AND the same way the brakes in the car make the most noise when ONE spot has worn through, so, the hip pain is the most when there is the FIRST spot wearing through. The pain decreases paradoxically when the hip become shot; and becomes a good case for hip replacement. So, MRI to see what's gone wrong. If something is stuck on one edge, removing it works. Otherwise surgery doesn't work well. Anti-inflammatories, physical therapy to learn ways to avoid hitting the sore place are some options. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Diabetic coma might have affected his long term memory functions severely. Recovery of memory and cognitive functions takes time and the patient requires a lot of support and perseverance from friends and family. It will be nice if he can get himself in to neurological rehabilitation clinics and take intensive lessons to improve his memory and cognitive learning. He can be helped by doing crossword puzzles, reading books, playing word games and using the brain in doing tasks which require teaching concepts newly. He might not be able to get back his old memory, but he can be taught cognitive behavior therapy methods to store and process new information in his daily life. Furthermore, he should be taught few things each day and his progress in to be monitored regularly.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion your symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety. But better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Anxiety appears more in your case. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Avoid stress and tension. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hello, As for a small girl of age 15, I don't think diuretic will be advised. Because this may lead to loss of fluid and lead to headaches as there will be a fluid loss in the body. For her having to swell in the feet you need to get a proper examination of the feet if there is any musculoskeletal injury. Also, kidney examination needs to be done as due to kidney malfunction there may be chances of swelling. I think a proper examination is to be done before putting her on to the diuretic. For headache, I will advise getting the eye checked up as due to strain in the eye muscles there may be a headache symptom. I will advise doing complete blood and urine routine, get the kidney assessed, eye examined etc., for coming to a diagnosis and then the treatment part. Hope I have answered your query.

History to say that the scan report could not explain your symptoms. Usually all scanning are performed after fasting to facilitate well distension of gall bladder and better visualization of pancreas. Gall bladder is full when there is fluid inside(bile).collapsed gall bladder means it is contracted, means no bile in it. Usually it gets collapsed after taking fried/ oily foods. Because fatty food digestion requires this fluid for absorption into body. If you want to review, go with fasting for ultrasonogram abdomen. As for your symptoms are concerned, it's not related. Small fat containing inguinal hernia or uterine fibroid are nothing to worry. Check once your thyroid hormone levels. Thank Vasundhara

Thank you for writing on Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. You shouldn't worry too much. You scheduled for CT which men that it's not an urgency to do it. As a general rule prior to do a d dimer it's been done a prediction score for the risk of pulmonary embolus. I'm convinced that your doctor is suspecting pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolic are clots that normal are formed in the veins of lower extremity that travel and block pulmonary arteries. As I see you don't have any pain in the limbs which is a good thing and lowers the risk that you might have thrombus in the lower extremities. You have had a biopsy of your thyroid but the results of biopsy are not shown. It's a great importance to know the results of it. The biopsy may be related to these high d dimer. Periods general do not increase the d dimer The cases for high D dimer excluding the clot formation include infection which increases dimer at high level. Age, whit hit increases somehow and some other causes like pregnancy, trauma, surgery. You just have to wait, and I know is not easy to stay with fear, but a CT is going to be performed and a diagnosis hopeful will come and things can go for better. Wish you good health

Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Hypertension is divided into two groups. Essential hypertension that is a chronic disease and should be treated all live long. It has not an identified cause and is frequent in older agesSecondary hypertension, meaning that it's a secondary house of it. This is found in younger ages and the cause might be renal, endocrine or any cardiovascular anomaly. Resolving the causing factor might resolve hypertension. As you explain, you are under hormone replacement therapy. This makes me thing that you might be near or in menopause. It is quite known in cardiology that hypertension does appear in women during this period. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze and a holder pressure monitoring to evaluate your values during day and niftier this we can better judge how to treat the problem. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Your symptoms can occur during a very early pregnancy or during the premenstrual phase of the period due to progesterone effect. The vaginal discharge however, is abnormal and most likely due to hormone imbalance. Since you had both blood and urine pregnancy tests negative, pregnancy can be ruled out. A trans-vaginal sonogram will help to know the status of the pelvic organs. Weight disturbances, infections, stress, polycystic ovaries and certain medications also can create this clinical picture. Please get further help from a specialist in person. Wish you good health.

Your wife will likely need monthly growth scans until she delivers. Good luck!

Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the health problems you queried-There are many causes of the lump in toe. With the limited information, there is a bit confusion about the heel lump?which is not clear from your query. The tennis ball size lump behind your toe, seems to be with a lot of infection and cellulitis around, from the data given from you. And it seems that this lump is for 1 year almost. Cause in your case-So Don't treat it on your own as it could be-Paronychia with Granuloma of the great toe/ or it could be Ingrowing Nail(Onychocryptosis with Pyoderma with Granuloma)/ or could be benign or malignant tumor due to chronicity of infected growth in the toe.Hence, would advise you to consult ER Surgeon, who would rule out other causes of such a lump and would help you out with the fist hand information. So take his Second Opinion, on the above suggestion, as he would advise you with fist hand clinical information. Remedy-So till the time you consult ER Or tho Surgeon and get his definitive opinion after above investigations, DONT WORRY AT ALL but you need to be concerned as it would complicate into some other problem associated with it.In the meanwhile, Daily Chat Doctor. Take Anti-inflammatory

Me fast (metonymic acid) and Maidens (paracetamol) are supposed to bring down fever. Cenobitic (memoir) is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic intended to reduce the gastrointestinal infection that could be causing the fever which could also have killed the beneficial bacteria of our bowels and cause antibiotic associated diarrhea. I think you wanted to say diarrhea and not dysentery which means blood stained stool. If that is really the case, you would need to consult your doctor and get it treated. If it is diarrhea, you need to give her curd/yogurt which contains beneficial bacteria and will help in restoring the balance. Alternatively, you can also give Enterogermina one sachet twice daily for 3-4 days. The diarrhea is not due to body heat. It has probably caused due to the beneficial bacteria getting killed by the antibiotic medicine prescribed.

Typhoid in pregnancy, is not a dangerous episode. Hope the doctors have confirmed the diagnosis with a Tidal Test, Blood and stool culture, Ty phi dot and Tube tests, the last two are very sensitive tests and confirmatory.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. If you feel acidity and gastric and digestion problem, the pain could be attributed to it. When you have this gastric problems, the gas present in your stomach area pushes the diaphragm upwards. Your chest cavity is already packed and has enough space for breathing movements of your lungs. This gas further pressurizes the chest cavity, and you will feel that pressure as tightness or pain. You should consult a physician to rule out organic causes. Take care.

Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a viral sore throat or a streptococcal infection. I suggest you see your pediatrician and get a rapid streptococcal antigen test done. If it is positive then the kid will require antibiotics. If it is negative then it might be viral illness and doesn't require antibiotics at all. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Warm saline gargles will be soothing and will give a lot of relief if the kid can do that. Regards -

At 22, the chance of heart as a source of symptoms is low. Low is not zero. In particular, the lining outside the heart may cause discomfort and reoccur repeatedly. I will usually review symptoms of reflux (burning, sometimes meal related, often lasting longer than 30 minutes or occurring at rest) and musculoskeletal pain (positional and localized with a finger). From what you've described, the first step that I would recommend to someone in my office is an over the counter anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen. A trial, paying attention to any improvement, even if incomplete, will be important information for your doctor should your symptoms persist.
