There are specific emergency contraceptive pills available like Plan B, I Pill, next choice etc. If these are not available in your country, your doctor will advise based on the contraceptive pills available. It is important to take the pills at the earliest after unprotected sex. The earlier the pill is taken, more effective they are (95% effective if taken within 24 hours). After taking the emergency contraception, if your period is delayed by more than a week you must get a pregnancy test done. It is good that you have realized it is dumb not to use contraception. Discuss with your doctor and start regular effective contraception like hormonal contraception or get an intrauterine devise inserted. I also advise you to use in addition barrier contraception like condom to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. | |

000000556 | Dear parent, Many thanks for your question with Chat Doctor .com. There are many causes for frequent urination in a child. The most common cause is behavioral. She may have just got used to going to the bathroom regularly, and you may have to gradually encourage her to increase the time between visits until she increases her ability to hold her urine. However, before you can label it as a behavioral problem, you have to rule out the other, more serious causes of frequent urination. For this she will need a few tests at your family doctor.1) You need to rule out a urine infection - for this she will need a urine test. 2) You need to check for diabetes - the symptoms of this are usually frequent urination, thirst and weight loss. For this she would need a urine and blood sugar test.3) You need to check that her bladder and kidneys are all structurally normal. For this she would need an ultrasound scan. If the results of the above are all fine, you can then be reassured that it is nothing to worry about, and just work on her gradually increasing the amount of time she can hold her urine. I hope this helps you, good luck with the tests. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me and if you found this helpful, please leave a rating! | |

000000561 | Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor Firstly, the abnormality of red blood cells which you have mentioned indicates normocytic normochromic anemia. This can occur from many conditions of which most common is hemorrhage. In your case, hematuria is the causative agent. Normal WBC and platelet exclude any malignant condition of blood. But you did not give us any bone marrow report. Hematuria can occur from many conditions but in you case it is the neoplastic condition present in bladder. So, my diagnosis is the urinary bladder problem. Regards. | |
000000562 | Hello, If your cycle span is 28-30 days, ovulation can happen mid-cycle, two weeks prior to the onset of the next period. Since you had the intercourse in a mingled fashion, it is difficult to predict the biological father now based on the dates of intercourse unless your exact date of ovulation is known. A DNA test performed after the delivery can be done to identify the paternity. This is the only way out in the current scenario. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you safe motherhood. | |
000000563 | Hello, Your problem is a common one faced while treating someone who is either head of the family or high earning member of family or well settled in society.

As he is a doctor, you can contact some psychiatrist and discuss his case and may be asked him to meet the patient without his knowledge and let him start the treatment which can be added to his food. With passage of time Chat Doctor. 2. You can ask someone whom he still trusts and listen to and that person can take him to a psychiatrist and get his treatment moving.3.

This has certain disadvantages that it might just spoil his carrier and difficult to go with. Wish you good luck. | |

In infants absent bowel movements is normal for as long as 14 days provided that their abdomen is soft, and they are otherwise well.

Female on top with active role.3. Double condom4. Medicines like Fluoxetine 20 mg day or Paroxetine CR 25 mg per day. (To be taken under medical supervision only)5. Keel exercise also helps in some cases. You can learn the same from internet. (As if try to hold urine intermittently during voiding)6. Penile squeeze technique applied at the point of ejaculatory inevitability.7. Applying a local anesthetic ointment to glans penis prior to penetration.8. Leading partner to orgasm by exploring and stimulating other erogenous zones. (Other than vaginal containment movements only)One can gain ejaculatory control over a period of time by practicing behavior methods mentioned above REGULARLY. Practice makes a man perfect.

000000574 | Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. I don't think that your seizures are related to a high level of Emilia. A viral infection and fevers can cause seizure aggravation. Epilim can cause seizure exacerbation in high levels, but it is also associated with other symptoms like nausea, headache, dizziness, confusion. A lower dose is more often associated with seizure aggravation. Although I would recommend you to have a full blood work and a plasma tic level of Emilia, and to adjust the dosage if needed. I don't think that there are any serious interactions between Emilia and the other Chat Doctor. Hope to have been of help! Greetings! | |
000000575 | Hello Lalit and. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern.1. A semen culture reported normal, means, there's no infection in it.2.

So, repeat the semen test, at a reputed lab, and send the report.5 An ultrasound scan (Doppler) of scrotum, is advisable.6.FSH, LH,testosterone, and sugar also needed. Get examined by a Urologist. You may send the reports to me, as a direct question, for an expert opinion. Chat Doctor. Manga. | |
000000576 | Hi, Life expectancy in a cardiac patient is less than the same age population. It depends on the current status, the surgery she has undergone. If she already had an open-heart surgery, opening the chest again for redo surgery will be definitely risky and will be more difficult as compared with the previous surgery. But it is not impossible and is being routinely done. It depends on the probability of life expectancy with disease and after surgery. If there is not much difference, we keep the patient on medical management. AF has a risk of clot formation which requires blood thinners to prevent clot formation. It is not essential to convert it into sinus rhythm as rate controlled AF is equivalent to sinus rhythm. So don't worry about that. Finally, be cheerful as nobody knows how long he or she will live. It is our attitude towards life that make our life long. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |

000000586 | Hello, You must visit the dentist if the gum has detached itself and is attached at some point above the teeth as the dentist can excise that part of the loose tissue. But if a considerable part of the gum tissue is still attached and not hanging loose, then there is a possibility that it will heal. Because excising a part of gingival can sometimes cause contraction the healing tissue and result in shortening of the gums and since it is the front teeth it doesn't look aesthetic. I suppose that's the reason the doctor must have waited to heal on its own. I would also like you to take soft food and not to traumatize the area while brushing. Fingers can be used for massaging the gums in that area or soft toothbrush can be used for brushing the teeth. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |

Avoid lifting heavy wights, and stop your gym at present and only result after your doctors advise. I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back. | |
000000588 | Hi there, Vomiting black liquid seems most likely as altered blood though bile may be brownish sometimes as well. It looks like he is in final stage of cancer. Morphine is a painkiller and if he is not in pain he is unlikely to be started on it. The perception that morphine is given to put someone out of misery, is rather for pain really. Many patients' morphine is given short time and is stopped when pain is relieved. Do speak to your hospice nurse and get a clear picture, and usually they explain the situation on day-to-day basis.

000000597 | His understand from your description that you are experiencing palpitations on and off for the last three months. Palpitations could arise because of certain electrical disturbances in the heart which are termed as arrhythmiaWhen you visited the hospital did they take an ECG? Was it normal? Sometimes certain arrhythmias cannot be detected on an ECG and you might then require a Holder Monitor. As far as your cholesterol is concerned it is well within the normal range. Even your hematocrit is in the normal range and I would not be concerned about it. I do not think you should worry too much at the moment about your calcium score if you are not currently diabetic, hypertensive and doing regular exercise as you do. Your calcium score will not be having any bearing on the fluttering that you are complaining of. If you really are getting disturbed by these palpitations, get yourselves examined by a cardiologist for cardiac arrhythmia so that the exact cause can be identified and treated accordingly. Usually Holder and a physical examination may reveal clues besides ECG. Hope I answered your question | |
000000598 | Good morning. Your father seems to be suffering from cancer of unknown primary, and he has already taken two lines of chemotherapy.

You should go ahead with this trial form of therapy as only this can lead to best results. Regards | |
000000599 | When was your last period? There are many choices for pill initiation. What the pharmacist at pharmacy has told is one such method. It is called quick start method. You can start taking pills on any day of the cycle as long as you are sure that there are no chances for pregnancy. But with this method you should use back up contraception like condom for diaphragm for the first seven days. Please note that with this method your census will be delayed until you complete active pills in the pack. Starting contraceptive pills on the first day of cycle is another choice of starting the pill. First day of cycle means first day of normal menstrual flow. When you start taking contraceptive pill on the first or second day of cycle there is no need to use back up contraception. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. |
