000004833 | Dear Concerned., Thanks for writing to us. In a c/o Cerebral Arms, in addition to Cybercafe, radiological embolization as an adjunctive therapy also. The Cybercafe allows delivery of high doses of targeted radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy, such that the lesions surrounding normal brain is subjected to very minimal harm. Such accuracy is critical for preserving as much brain function as possible. Most patients experience minimal recovery time and can return to normal activities following their treatment. Depending on the tumor type, size and location, many patients need only one treatment with the Cybercafe to destroy their tumor. Before the Cybercafe Surgery., the patient will be admitted for observation, then taken for CT navigated embolisation procedure for reducing the blood supply the size of the lesion. Before a patient is treated he or she may undergo a series of tests such as MRI, functional MRI, CT, and CT angiography. A multidisciplinary team of physicians including a neurointerventionalist, neurobiologist, neurosurgeon, and stroke neurologist carefully review this data to propose the best plan. The process of embolization is done under general anesthesia. An artery in the groin is punctured and catheterized so that guide catheter is pushed up to the neck and up into blood vessels supplying the AVM. Embolus producing agents are then injected into blood vessels supplying the AVM so that the clot artificially produced will block blood supply to AVM and the same regresses in size. As an elective procedure the patient will stay for 03-05 days. The embolisation is done in stages to prevent thrombosis and hemorrhages from occurring in normal parts of the brain. After regressing of AVM lesion, adjunctive Cybercafe therapy and Radiation therapy is done to achieve total removal of AVM. Levipil 500 mg (Levitiracetam)is an antiepileptic Chat Doctor. | |

000004842 | Dear Rash mi, Travel by air is safe in the second three months of the pregnancy (14 weeks to 28 weeks). After that the uterus goes on becoming more and more irritable and the risk of premature delivery goes on increasing in flight. Though, the airplanes have controlled pressure inside, the risk of preterm labor cannot be completely ruled out. So after 28 weeks of pregnancy, air travel, particularly international air travel should be avoided. The airlines also do not accept the pregnant passengers after 30 weeks of pregnancy without certificate from an Obstetrician; and my experience tells that most of the Obstetricians are reluctant to issue such certificate. If the delivery process starts on the board, there are constraints of availability of the facilities for conducting delivery on board. Moreover, according to the international rule, the problem of nationality of the baby arises for them. Of course, being Indian, you can opt for the Indian citizenship for you child, however, depending up on the aerial zone of a nation where the delivery takes place, you can opt for the nationality of that country; or the airline itself being an area of the nation to whom it belongs to, you may opt for that nationality also. This is all greatly complicated, hence the airline rules. I feel you should avoid international travel after 30 weeks of pregnancy. If you are less than that period (7th month), you may choose to travel; however do consider the date of return. If your return is within this time, you may travel. I hope this provides you a clarity in taking your decision. | |

000004863 | Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical knee assessment is advised followed by an MRI. As you have pain in the medial side of the knee, this could be related to two issues. One - medial collateral ligament injury, or Early OA knee.

In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. | |
000004864 | Hi, There does not seem to be any connection for taking pill and then having this. It seems to me that you have a prolactin. This is a prolactin secreting tumor and thus accounts for your high prolactin level. The prolactin level then causes inhibition of the FSH in some cases. Thus, you need to meet a gynecologist who needs to operate and remove the tumor or at least give you some therapy for it. You might also have some symptoms like blurring of vision. I hope this helps you. Chat Doctor. | |

000004868 | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. The greatest likelihood in your situation is that you have gestational diabetes. The majority of the time during routine prenatal care for diabetes somewhere between 24 and 28 weeks. Ketones, a byproduct of sugar metabolism being present in your urine along with sugar backs up the diagnosis. If you're test for gestational diabetes was performed more than a month ago, or if you never had one, I suggest you share these results with your healthcare provider as they may want to repeat the test. Gestational diabetes can be controlled sometimes with diet, however many women require oral hypoglycemics or insulin to control their blood sugar. This risk is increased in women who are obese or who have a family history of diabetes. So needing additional help in reducing your blood sugar during pregnancy is common and is not the fault of an inability to properly follow a proper diet. So I suggest for the benefit of the health of your pregnancy that you make an appointment with your prenatal care provider and that you discuss your results with them, they may want to do more intensive screening for diabetes and depending upon the level of your blood sugar may prescribe medications. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, | |

000004875 | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is possible that your symptoms of severe pain in the head and neck regions are due to irritation of nerve roots in the cervical spine. This is known as radiculopathy. It happens due to nerve root irritation due to slight movements including when you are asleep. This causes pressure on nerves roots and pinching of the nerves. This is followed by sudden shooting pain from the neck to the head and can also be experienced behind the eyes. Please avoid use of pillows when sleeping and sleep on a hard mattress. Avoid making sudden head and neck movements. If you feel severe pain at night then apply a little ointment containing pain reliever and muscle relaxant.

000004880 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. 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. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. If PFT is normal than no need to worry much. Stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out bronchitis. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

000004883 | Hello Maria. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern. An ultrasound scan can easily detect scarring of kidneys, due ti infections. A dialysis is advised only when, theres very poor kidney function. A kidney transplant is the other option. Kidney failure causes anemia, for which, blood transfusions(3), were given. It also causes nausea and omitting, as creatinine rises in blood. Block of kidney due to stone, is another cause for the omitting. Renavive isn't advised by Urologists, due lack of scientific study. Maintain low salt, low protein diet, no dairy products, and limited fluids. If you've any other doubts, send it as a direct question, to me. Chat Doctor. Manga. | |
000004884 | HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor Dear patients' son, as your mom is suffering from Potts spine, her low grade temperature is because of that only, though she has been taking AKT4 for last one month and generally fever stops with in one or two weeks after starting AKT4 but sometimes it may take 2 to 3 months for the temperature to subside, so you need not worry about that, her LFT report showing SGPT of 182 is a bit high and if it is more than 3 times the baseline SGPT value which is there in previous LFT then it may Warren to hold AKT 4, if previous LFT is not available, then you continue with AKT4 and get your LFT repeated after 1 week, if that shows SGPT of more than 540 i.e. more than 3 times the current value then AKT4 will need to be held till hepatitis subsided and then ATT can be reinstituted again, this will be done by the doctor who is treating her for POTTS spine.

000004885 | Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern I think that it may be caused by a second stroke, in the posterior part of the brain or a vertebral artery insufficiency. If the CT scan you did, resulted in no new strokes from the old CT scan, it means that the problem may be a vertebral artery insufficiency. It is caused by a narrowing of this artery causing low blood flow to the brain. Another cause of repeated falling may be the HY Chat Doctor. I would recommend you to have a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries and to take aspirin for the prevention of a second stroke. I would encourage you to continue with the physiotherapy. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! | |
000004886 | Hi thanks for the query.IUD's usually don't cause gas/ bloating. As you told you are taking coffee in the morning, that may be the cause of your problem.

Hope this information is helpful and informative to you. If you have further queries you can directly reach out to me on the following URL | |

000004897 | Hello, I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident please. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually, rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4 to 7 days. So, do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |
000004898 | Thanks for putting your query up at Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns for your 4-year-old son. Many child Chat Doctor. Cold depresses our immunity and in the meanwhile certain viruses that are always around, do the harm. It also has an allergic component wherein non-harmful agents like dust are treated by the body with apprehension and results in cough. The tonsils which are located at the back of the neck, often become enlarged and play an important role in cough and cold. The tonsils regress with age and I guess you would have to wait till then when the tendency to catch cold would automatically come down. There is an internal connection between the throat and ear and hence during cold we often feel a pain in the ears. But that is probably not a cause for concern. There is no medicine that can change the genetic makeup of a person. I insist that you try to make your child gurgle with lukewarm water and if required give him some antiallergics after consulting your doctor. I hope that answers your query. Feel free to revert in case of further queries. | |
000004899 | Hi, Thanks for your query. Based upon your description, I suspect that you might have injured the ligaments around the ankle joint. An initial X-ray of the ankle joint is necessary to rule out any bony injury. If X-rays are negative for any fracture, then MRI scan is needed to know the status of the ligaments around the ankle joint. I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and further management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |
