Hi, I understand your concern. The chances of pregnancy are there as the timing of insertion was late. Also, if it is inserted late, a backup contraceptive method is advised for next 7 days as it takes 7 days to begin functioning. So this is unfortunate. However, in midcycle there is no way to confirm pregnancy. Having said all this, I want to inform you that symptoms similar to pregnancy may occur with implant too. So the best way out now is to get a urine test for pregnancy. If it is negative, these symptoms are more likely due to Implant. In that case they tend to settle in a few months. If urine test is positive an ultrasound will be needed to confirm the location of pregnancy. So get a pregnancy test done and decide future plan according to the results. Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I would be happy to answer any further queries. Have a nice day.

Well with successive abortions and connected medicines, changes in lifestyle and food habits may be culprit for bringing weight gain. It may also owe to hormonal changes. Best advise in my opinion is to avoid multiple abortions. Ayurveda medicine which is safe, diet with negative caloric intake, walks/ jogs are important for you to manage weight. Ayurveda medicines such as Arogyavardhini, Anchor GGUL and Median GGUL and Trial in powder form or decoction are few suggestions which may be used even with it without hormonal disbalance. Selection should be left to Ayurveda doctor to be decided as per history and given conditions. Hope it enlightens you. But in no case use hormonal or toxic weight shredders in your own interest.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Colon cancer is curable in early stage. In early stage of cancer when cancer is restricted to colon only then we can remove that part of colon. After surgery chemotherapy should be taken. In later stage it is not curable. Surgical resection and end to end anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi. If the pain and soreness is so much even after a week, it would be wise to undergo an ultrasound to see the exact nature of the lesion, collection, muscle damage and all. Usually it takes about 3 weeks for a good recovery if there is no attendant complication; already one week, only two weeks to go. Take an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon. Follow the advice and medicines as per his advice as he is going to have a direct clinical examination.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. He is having cough with expectoration for 2 weeks. These are symptoms of tuberculosis. He is also having suspicious opacity on chest x-ray. This makes tuberculosis more likely. Get done sputum examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli). If this is positive then he is having tuberculosis for sure. He can also get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy for further confirmation of tuberculosis. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Tuberculosis is 100 % curative, so don't worry about it.

I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. It is unclear though what do you mean by feeling to have a concussion, what symptoms do you have to make you think that. The presence of the dent is not indicative of concussion, it is an external manifestation, doesn't provide any information on what is happening inside the brain. Speaking in general it is possible for concussion symptoms like headache, fatigue, lack of concentration, sleeping difficulties etc. to last for several weeks even months. To say whether that is your case though as I said you should provide more information. I remain at your disposal for other questions.

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. Usually liver enlargement may indicate some types of hepatitis or fatty liver diseases and in most cases it doesn't require any specific treatment. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required. Also, if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment. You need to check your viral markers and do liver biopsy if necessary. 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.

Welcome to ChatDoctorDont worry. As all the tests are normal except a thickened bladder wall, I would suggest a voiding cystourethrogram (CUG) after 2-3 weeks to rule out posterior urethral valve. Posterior urethral valves (Puts) are the most common congenital obstructive lesion of the urethra and a common cause of obstructive myopathy in infancy. Postnatally, definitive treatment is simple and involves transurethral ablation of the offending valve.

HelloThanks for query. You have doubt about the length and size of your penis being small. The length of the penis in flaccid state has no significance at all, it is the hardness of the penis on erection that is important from the point of view of sexual satisfaction of both the partners. The woman vagina on arousal is capacious enough to accommodate hard erected penis of the length of 4 inches without any pain. Consult qualified Urologist to measure the length of your penis both in flaccid state and on erection. This will help to allay your anxiety. Chat Doctor.

Hi Shamanic,your ultrasound needs to be redone again. Bulky uterus with distortion usually means that there is an anatomical defect like fibroid etc. There is no mention of that in the report. So the main thing here is how severe the distortion is. If your periods are regular, there may be a small chance but with severe distortion, there are high chances of miscarriage. I would suggest that you repeat the ultrasound.

Hi, Thanks for your query. Firstly the pain under the left side of the rib cage may be due to Gastritis(Inflammation of the stomach). I advise would be to avoid spicy and greasy food. Prescribe proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. A gastrostomy will help in the diagnosis. Secondly it may be due to pancreatitis(Inflammation of pancreas). Stop smoking and alcohol if any. Blood tests like serum amylase and lipase will help in the diagnosis. Thirdly kidney stones. X-ray of the PUB will help in the diagnosis. Antispasmodic for pain. Increased intake of water is advised. The size and site of the stone determines whether the treatment is medical or surgical. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Hello, Thanks for letting us know your health concern. Since her ovulation status is unpredictable owing to irregular periods, the best way out in the current scenario is to get the estimation of the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles now. If positive, you have to see a specialist for further management. If you do not wish to retain the pregnancy, preliminary investigations like blood counts, urinalysis are done and a trans-vaginal sonogram to locate the gestation sac and the age of the pregnancy and go for an induced medical abortion under surveillance. If negative, it is mostly due to the hormone imbalance which needs to be corrected. Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, let me assure you, stage 4 kidney failure is irreversible. Diet must be observed strictly, but, it cannot reverse the failure. Diabetes itself affects the kidneys, causing diabetic nephropathy. You must be careful to avoid more than 6gm salt/day, 40gm proteins/day, avoid extra potassium forming fresh fruits, coconut water, and oily fried foods. Have green leafy vegetables, and egg white. Check your B.P. regularly and take all medications as advised. If you've any doubt, send it as a direct question to me, for expert opinion. Chat Doctor. Manga.

Hi, Methylprednisolone is a steroid. Do take it as prescribed by your consultant. The information regarding oral or IM formulation is missing. Irrespective of that, it is highly unlikely that you can attribute the vague symptoms you are mentioning to methylprednisolone after 3 months.

Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.

Hallow Dear, If you recall about the fertility period, it is about 10 days around the day of ovulation and the day of ovulation is 14 days before next expected menses. Your cycles are of 32 days. Hence day 18 would be the day of ovulation. You had unprotected intercourse on that day; so that intercourse is most likely to be responsible for this pregnancy. Moreover, the other unprotected intercourse you had with someone else was just 3 days before the expected menses. It is most unlikely to have the egg still alive till that day since the egg has life of only 24 hours. So, in my opinion, the person with whom you had sex on day 18 should be the father of this child. Still, if you want confirmation, may be for legal purpose, you may opt for DNA test. I hope this helps you.

Several features of pain can be helpful in clarifying what is going on and the next steps for diagnosis and treatment. Type of pain. Burning mostly means a nerve is having problems. This can be either a sick nerve or a nerve that has had an injury. Electrical, shooting would be others implying nerve source for pain. Location of pain. There is a lot to this. First, if something goes in the pathway of a nerve, then that is the nerve involved. Nerves are long and the pain is in a belt-like long pathway. Smaller areas are smaller nerves. This also tends to say what might be going on. Obviously if there was an injury to the area and then there was pain outward from it \"hit a nerve\" would be a possibility. Sick nerves are MULTIPLE areas and tends to be the TIPS of the nerve not the whole nerveWhat hurts. Moving a particular way that triggers the pain tells what is hurting. Specifically it can distinguish outward structures like skin, muscles, tendons, joints from deep structures like organs and nerves. OF course if EATING or COUGHING triggers pain then that would imply structures involved with those activities are sore (esophagus or Lung).

Hello dairy understand your concernSpotting is not due to pregnancy. Intercourse on the first day of the period does not cause pregnancy.

If it continues in future then consult the gynecologist and undergo vaginal examination, USG scan, PAP smear to rule out the causes. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, do regular exercise and maintain proper pelvic hygiene. Hope this may help noncontact Chat Doctor for further health query Best regards

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since you are smoker, possibility of either bronchitis or lung infection is high. Smokers have poor lung defense, so infections are common in them. 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. You may need antibiotics, antihistamines and inhaled bronchodilators with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So consult doctor, first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

You have not mentioned anything about the lab investigations that were done for you. Were any samples/swabs collected from you? Was the causative organism determined? What are the results of the antimicrobial sensitivity tests? If none of these were done, and you were prescribed antibiotics just on the basis of a physical examination, then you should definitely see another doctor. Just taking one antibiotic after another without ensuring if the antibiotic is capable of attacking the causative bacteria will not help you. The lesions on your gums and lips are probably a fallout of prolonged antibiotic treatment.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your complaint the symptoms of recurring high fever seems to be due to Epstein Barr virus infection leading to Infectious Mononucleosis. It can also cause sinus infection and inflammation that can be a potent cause for gum pain as the maxillary sinus lies close to the upper jaw teeth.

Hello, I have gone through the query and understood your concern. On an average, pregnancy can occur within three months of removal of the copper IUD. Return of fertility is very soon after removal of the device. If you had normal sexual intercourse during the intervening period after removal of the IUD, you should exclude/confirm pregnancy through a HPT or the blood test. HPT should be done 3-7 days after the period. A trans-vaginal sonogram can give you a clarity on the cause. If pregnancy is negative, you should suspect a transient hormone imbalance which usually is self-corrective failing which, you should see a specialist. Hope this helps.

Hello there, thanks for using Chat Doctor. From what you've described, it seems like your baby has furunculosis or a small abscess. It should settle on its own and if it is very painful, causes fever or large, may require an incision to Chat Doctor. I would advise you to wait and match unless he develops spots around his mouth or under his nose, in which case he will need antibiotics.

My dear friend, If your cycles are otherwise regular, the missed period should point initially at the possibility of pregnancy. Moreover, you are having nausea, fatigue and sore nipples. The other symptoms you have mentioned are not specific to and most unlikely be due to pregnancy. If you have done your pregnancy test 2 weeks after missed period, it is most unlikely to give false negative results. Still, I would suggest you to get ultrasonography done. At this stage, it should provide you direct visual evidence of the fact. During ultrasonography, please request the doctor to have a look at the ovaries and the thickness of the endometrium (uterine lining). This will help to arrive at some diagnosis of the missed period.

Hello! Thank you for the query. Sudden, strong back pain is very characteristic for kidney stones. The pain usually radiates to the groin or even a leg. Such strong pain appears because a stone moves through the ureter and irritate it. Sometimes it can stick. In such case, urine blockage can destroy the kidney.

So she should rather be prescribed smooth muscles relaxing medicines and if it won't help, Pteridine instead of morphine. I suggest her to consult urologist instead of waiting for CT and consider biography. Hope this will help. Regards.

Thank you for your query. Dementia is a chronic progressive illness, in which a person gradually starts losing his memory (particularly recent memory, that associated with his day-to-day life) along with at least one other higher mental function like judgement/ planning/ executive functions etc. gradually there is change in personality and behavior, with the person becoming incapable of maintaining his activities of daily living by himself in later stages. Popular medications to manage dementia are Donepezil (Acetyl Cholinesterase inhibitors), Meantime (MDA antagonist) etc., given for managing memory and cognitive symptoms. Also sometimes atypical antipsychotics like Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Risperidone etc. are given to manage aggression and behavioral problems. Among these, Donepezil can cause itching. The restlessness (moving head, arms, legs constantly) can be due to a condition called akathisia, caused by mostly antipsychotics. The facial grimaces may be due to a condition called Tardive dyskinetic, another side effect of antipsychotics. The exact cause of the given symptoms, can however, only be clarified after a thorough assessment of the exact medications that he is having, both prescription and OTC, and their duration of use. Also, physical examination is of utmost importance in this case, as observation of the movements in necessary for diagnosis.

Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. I would like to know the name of the Chat Doctor. In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to a possible Transient ischemic attack, which is caused by a low blood flow to the brain or a seizure, a type of Epilepsy. I don't think the injection has been the cause. Because a Transient ischemic attack can be preceded by hypertension. I would recommend a brain MRI, a cardiologist consult to find out the causes in case of a possible transient ischemic attack. An EEG would be very helpful in case of a seizure suspicion. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes

Hi there. Your symptoms are suggestive of muscle spasm. The main treatment required is taking adequate rest to relax these muscles. So try taking bed rest for a couple of days. Avoid bending down or lifting heavy weights. Apply topical analgesic ointment over your back and some short wave diathermy under a physiotherapist might help. This sort of pain can occur when your muscles have been getting fatigued over a long time. Also check your vitamin D levels as well. Low vitamin D levels can cause muscle cramps and spasms. Take plenty of fluids.
