000000400 | Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. Chemical peeling is a simple procedure which causes controlled burning of skin leading to exfoliation superficial skin layers, decreases acne and pigmentation and gives you a rejuvenated skin. Usually post peel, redness and crusting is common and usually moisturizer and sunscreen is enough to take care the post procedure sequela. Sometimes, chemical peels may cause excessive redness/crusting due to deeper penetration of peel, but It's difficult to rule out without proper clinical examination or pictures. Anyway, start applying a cream containing demonize (Disown cream) twice a day gently over red/irritated skin followed by good quality moisturizer like Detail DAM. Always make sure you use your sunscreen before going out in sun and repeat application after every 3 hours and use proper clothing to cover face. Avoid pricking/scratching/peeling of skin. Use gentle cleanser like Detail cleanser for sensitive skin for regular face wash. Take some antihistamines like Exocet if excessive itching is there. Hope this will take care of your query, Thank you Chat Doctor. | |

000000403 | Hello! Thank you for the query. According to your description, you probably suffer from heart arrhythmia. This is a condition when heart spontaneously beats irregularly. This is a very common heart condition. In most cases hearts gives an extra beat from time to time and after that beat, there is while for the heart to come back to normal rhythm. This is what you find a lack of pulse for a while. Such condition in most cases is harmless however it should be diagnosed, and it is necessary to find what kind of arrhythmia it is. Moreover, pregnancy is very often associated with heart arrhythmia, and so is anxiety. So we can find pregnancy, anxiety, and ions shortage (especially magnesium and calcium) as an often reasons of such condition. Short ECG can not find it, you should have Holders 24 hours ECG, it should tell if and what type of arrhythmia you suffer from. To ease your symptoms it is advisable to have magnesium supplementation and visit psychiatrist if you can not deal with your anxiety. Hope this will helpRegards | |

000000408 | Dear Think, Since you are under ultrasonography ovulation monitoring, it is very easy and simple for you to plan sexual relations. The egg is usually released when the follicle is between 18 mm to 21 mm size. In fact this sized follicles release the best quality eggs. Probably, your follicle has reached that size, hence your doctor has given you injection Ova max which will bring about ovulation and also help the pregnancy to stabilize if conception takes place. Attention should be paid to thickness of the uterine lining (endometrium). Endometrial thickness between 9 mm to 13 mm is most conducive for implantation of fertilized ovum. When you are given injection for ovulation, you will release egg(s) within 24 hours. So utilize this and next two days at the best for sexual relations which may help fertilization of the egg. I hope this helps you. | |

000000413 | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I will try to explain you something. As you explain, your symptoms has to do with a rhythm issue that we call extra systolic beats. These is electrical impulses that generates from different parts of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm. They cause a premature heart contraction that it is followed by a pause and then a normal heart contraction. In these cases you experience a palpitation, a skipped beat, anxiety, difficulties in breathing deeply. They might have different causes to simple emotional stress, coffee and alcohol consumption. Also, pathologies like anemia, hyperthyroidism or ischemic heart disease might be other causes. If this extrasistoles are frequent they are treated with medications like beta blocker. Metoprolol is one of them. They help to reduce the frequency of extra systolic beats. Along with your medications you should avoid caffeine products, energy Chat Doctor. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good healthiest regards. | |

Hips take care of the alterations in gait and hence the prominence of hips while walking with increasing age the angle of scoliosis increases.

000000421 | Thank you for contacting Chat Doctor. First thing which I Think in this scenario is a condition called Bells palsy where facial nerve is involved. Mostly this is result of some kind of viral infections. We have 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Facial nerve is one of them which carries taste sensation from the tongue. Each Half of the tongue is carried by one facial nerve. This nerve travels from the brain and supplies the face. When it is involved close to the face we see something like this. Please watch for eye closing issues, Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to see a doctor and in case if they can't come up with the diagnosis please remind them of this. Take care | |

000000423 | Hi.what is the generic name of Apri21, and is it FDA approved? Personally, I am not against but I do not recommend taking in of supplements/medications if they are not FDA approved or hasn't passed the clinical trials recommended for approval. Majority of the medications/supplements we are taking in, whether with medical indications or none, will pass through our liver for metabolism, and kidneys for clearance. This may cause problems, maybe not now, but in the future. It is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation first. Diagnostics and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. For gallstones, definitive treatment is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder. It could be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor. | |

000000428 | Hello ! I went through your question carefully. I understand your concern. There are many points in your situation that need to pay attention. The lost weight and frequent diarrheas can cause nutritional deficiency, causing your memory problems. There are some main disorders that may be the cause of your problems. A hyperthyroidism can cause this clinical situation, so I would strongly recommend thyroid hormones' analysis to rule this out. This would explain also the hot flashes. A rare disorder, called pheocromocytoma, which is a tumor of the renal gland can cause similar troubles. I would like to know if you have measured your blood pressure during your troubles. If these episodes are associated with high blood pressure and tachycardia I would recommend the analysis of metanephrines in your urine, to exclude this disorder. Another point would be a food intolerance like gluten intolerance, so you should also be checked for anti-gliadine antibody. But this would be exceptional at this age, as it begins since childhood. If all the above tests result normal, a neurological evaluation and a head MRI would be necessary. Hope to have been of help! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Greetings, | |
000000429 | Hi, I understand your concern. Backache on right side of lower back could be associated with kidney problems.

Craving dill pickles and the juice could be related to both stomach and kidney issues at your age (73). So, better check first. All the best. | |

The only increased incidence is of bleeding. But than also the risk benefit ratio is towards benefit. Regards | |

You should do alternate hot and cold packs over the lump. Apply Thrombophob gel from outside as it helps in faster dissolution of clot.

Periventricular involvement in the brain is serious. Seizures can be controlled as of now with AED like Phenobarbital but the effect of the condition on the neonatal brain can't be judged at present. What symptoms the child might develop in the future cant be judged right now. | |

Other rare causes of abdominal pain and how to diagnose them - median arcuate ligament syn Chat Doctor. MRI is the most accurate way to diagnose this.

I also believe that the blood and urine work were normal, and it is the least of your concern.

I hope you visit with a doctor however if there is any other history that you should let them know. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day! | |
000000453 | Hi, Actually it is very common and happens with many patient researches may show that Radioactive Iodine-131 is used in patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer for ablation of residual thyroid tissue after surgery and for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Patients with medullary, anaplastic, and most Hurtle cell cancers do not benefit from this therapy. External irradiation may be used when the cancer is unresectable, when it recurs after resection, or to relieve pain from bone metastasis. Sorafenib and uniting, approved for other indications show promise for thyroid cancer and are being used for some patients who do not qualify for clinical trials. Numerous agents are in phase II clinical trials and XL184 has started a phase III trial. Please consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask. | |
000000454 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. And no need to take oral steroids as in bronchitis only few indications need oral steroids. So avoid oral prednisolone. Start inhaler having long acting beta 2 agonists (LAB) and corticosteroids. It is having action for 12 hours so only twice daily given. And inhaled corticosteroids are far, far better and safe than oral steroids. You may also require anti-allergic, anti histamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. So consult pulmonologist and diagnose first. | |

I just wanna to confirm how many times you have taken ovulation induction. Have you tried timed intercourse. I do not think you should straight away jump to IVF.if you are not comfortable with HSG you can go for diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy with chromopertubation this is a day care procedure where your tubes can be very well checked for their patency. I hope I am able to solve your query, you can revert to me with the confirmations of history I asked from you. | |

000000462 | HelloI may suggest having serum prothrombin time (PT), bleeding time clotting time and platelets counts done for any abnormality there which could point to some other reasons or pathologies. Petichae in sensory loss areas may not be due to nerve sensation deficit, yes long duration sensory loss does make skin vulnerable to bruises and may make it brittle and easy petechial formation may occur secondarily. It is best if sensory loss is suspected as a cause, to massage skin daily with Clemens oil and limb exercises for improving or maintaining vascularity and skin tone to prevent bruising. Take multivitamins, calcium and vitamin D supplements, vitamin A etc. You may consult a physician for your symptoms. Physical therapy is the mainstay for lumbosacral issues, for cervical reasons too, using collar and isometric cervical exercises, unless your surgeon decides for discectomy and fusion surgery best wishes | |

000000481 | Hi Amy, Sensitivity of teeth after crown preparation is a common occurrence but as you have mentioned that even after the placement of the new crowns (assuming that the margins are proper) it persists and is severe then the only option you have is a root canal. If there is an exposed area around the teeth not covered by the crown causing sensitivity and its not severe then placing a desensitizing agent may help. Pls consult your dentist on that. Regards | |

000000484 | It is important that you consult a psychiatrist for your complaints and tell her about these symptoms of hearing threatening voices of people and that you fear that they may harm you. You may need a different set of medications than paroxetine or sertraline. You may need antipsychotics such as risperidone, haloperidol etc. in appropriate doses. Smoking pot is a double-edged sword. You may feel less anxious and relieved when you use pot. However, the pot can make these voices appear with even more intensity, and you will find yourself trapped in a vicious circle. Do discuss this issue with your psychiatrist too. Hope it helps. | |

You should always keep a hand onto the affected area while sneezing and coughing. Try doing costal breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises by placing a hand over the top of the painful area. Once your muscles become strong I think you should be fine with the relief of pain. | |

000000490 | Hi and thanks for the query, Itchy rashes and lymph nodes around the neck region might most of the time be due to viral infections. It could be necessary to actually trace what is causing the rash. A history of a recent change in the environment, diet, sleeping room, job site should worth considering. Other accompanying symptoms like fever, wheezing, rhinitis are important to consider knowing if it's an allergic reaction or not. An initial response to anti biotherapy could indicate an infectious cause. Persistence of symptoms should warrant an appointment with the dermatologist for a proper evaluation. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD. | |

000000493 | HelloThanks for usingChatDoctor for your health problems. I read careful your question and understood your concern. You doesn't explained clearly why your dad was prescribed the antibiotic and antimicrobial therapy anyway I presume that it has an infection when he was discharged. The infectious disease and maybe the psychologic stress that is caused by the infection can raise the blood glucose in a diabetic person. His blood glucose is high and nausea can be a symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. For this reason my advice is to check his ketone level in the blood and in the urine. If the result is positive you need to take him in an Emergency Room as soon as possible because it can be dangerous if it is not treated. In most cases, people with diabetic ketoacidosis need to be treated in hospital. If the test of ketones in his blood and urine is negative, i suggest consulting an endocrinologist in your area because in my opinion the metformin monotherapy is not effective, and it is necessary to add another antidiabetic Chat Doctor. I want to remember that the diabetic diet and more physical activities(if not contraindicated)are other important elements for the control of your dads' diabetes. I recommend to not be negligent. Hope I have answered to your question. If you have further queries, feel free and ask. For treatment recommendations, and individual therapy, you can ask me at Chat Doctor at my private link | |
000000494 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you are mostly having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of gaseous feeling in stomach, burning pain with stomach pain. So better to start following steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 7. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if you are having these habits. 8. Lose weight if you are obese. Don't worry, you will be alright. | |
000000495 | HI. This is most probably a condition called Gynecomastia and the best way is to get this operated, removed and subjected to histopathological examination. Although this is usually a bilateral phenomenon, it is not rare to see like this. Cancer has to be ruled out by doing histopathology of the removed specimen and X-ray has not much role to play in the diagnosis. Radiography in the form of CT scan of the lesion, chest and maxillae is of help. | |
000000496 | Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Pain and burning in the upper abdomen, with altered motion is usually caused by acid peptic disease.

000000497 | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor MRSA (methicillin resistant star aureus) refers to the presence of a bacterium that is resistant to standard antibiotics. It occurs mainly in persons with a history of frequent antibiotic use though it can also be spread from one person to the other. There are some persons who have these resistant bacteria and are not aware of it. As her doctors mentioned, it may be spread by contact with the infected area. I hope this helps | |
000000498 | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. White spots on MRI (also called as hyperintense lesions) are not specific for multiple sclerosis (MS). These lesions can occur in other neurological conditions including migraine, infections, stroke, etc. Doing an MRI of spine would help, as if lesions are found in the spine, it would favor a diagnosis of MS. Spinal tap would also help, as presence of oligoclonal bands in the CSF would also favor a diagnosis of MS. However, with just two lesions, and normal spinal tap, MS is unlikely. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/ | |
000000499 | Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Your description of the rash and associated pain does seem to suggest a possibility of Shingles; more so if the rash is arranged in a stripe like pattern across one half of the body, with a sharp mid-line cut off. Shingles may initially start either as rash or as raised patches and subsequently may develop fluid filled lesions. Therefore, absence of fluid filled lesions from the start doesn't rule out shingles. Pain is more of a feature of herpes Zoster; irritation to the muscle rub would have been associated with a burning sensation rather than pain. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis. A dermatologist would be better able to confirm it or rule it out. There is usually associated pain which may be shooting or stabbing in quality. If Shingles is confirmed to be shingles on visual inspection, treatment would be with an oral antiviral e.g. acyclovir or val acyclovir. Associated pain also need to be managed appropriately with NSAIDsFirst step would be to visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosisRegards |
