Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of your husband. As he is suffering from vascular dementia, I will advise to undergo a clinical neurological examination. Maybe an MRI will be required to understand the brain areas better. As medicine helps on a symptomatic relief and too much medication will not be good for the general health of the kidneys. Prednisone on a longer run also has some negative effects and the GP may not prescribe anymore. Also, in my clinical practice most patients with neurological illness, responds well to physical therapy along with medication. As with physical therapy exercises the metabolism is improved and so the vascular blood flow to the brain by improved cardio respiratory endurance. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hello...thanks for trusting the Chat Doctor doctors for your health related queries. I guess your concern is about.should I try for natural conception or IVF after third miscarriage...right.well...my answer is.YES. U can try for natural conception after third miscarriage. As u told that u had conceived for two times naturally. So there is HIGH CHANCES of conception by natural method.u can go through it without any doubt in your mind. Secondly let us discuss the miscarriage u had. U told that u had miscarriage at 4 n 11\u00a0week....right. So most of the time it is usually happening if there is any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities having in embryo, or any infections in mother, or sometimes it is unexplained. So DON'T LOSE HOPE...KEEP PATIENCE. U can get pregnant with natural methods. If u r come under the reproductive age group(women from 15-45 years are come under this group. In this group chances of getting pregnancy is high) and you are having regular menses then chances of getting pregnancy is DOUBLE.bur u didn't give info regarding your menses n your age. So it is difficult for me to comment on this. If u have both then RELAX, NOTHING TO WORRY.with the above discussion u can try out my suggestions-1. There is high chances of getting pregnancy with the natural method. So RELAX, RELAX.2. Try to do coitus during fertile period(it is from 10th to 16th day of menses) during this period chances of getting pregnancy is high. So do coitus as much than possible during this period.3. If u r in hurry then visit nearby gynecologist or infertility specialist. He/she can help u. I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for u.regards- Chat Doctor. EVERY PROBLEM HAVE SOLUTION. I pray the God that u will be blessed with a cute n healthy baby.hopefully TWINS)

Hi... I feel this is an early marker of hyperactivity. Does anybody in the family was hyperactive as a kid. If not I don't see anything harmful going on in your son. Kids of this age need mothers attention throughout. If possible you can try staying with him all through and start working after he starts going to school. This is only a suggestion and I have seen many of my own patients and even neighbor skids getting better after this. Regards -

Hi. Thanks for the query. Your explanation is pointing towards tooth abscess formation that is due to deep infection in the tooth leading to pus formation below the root tip of the tooth. It can spread to the soft tissues of the face leading to Cellulitis and Space infection. So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist and get evaluated, and a clinical examination should be done along with an IOP AR [x-ray] of the tooth to confirm the diagnosis. You can be advised a course of antibiotics and painkillers to reduce infection and along with it the tooth has to be treated. If tooth can be saved then root canal treatment can be done and if there is gross decay extraction is advisable. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Raised ESR level is not a disease but an indication of an underlying chronic disorder. Associated headache raises possibility of temporal arthritis. Temporal arthritis is characterized by inflammation of vessel wall of temporal artery. Definitive diagnosis of temporal arthritis can be made after biopsy of the vessel wall. However, the biopsy is negative for evidence of temporal arthritis. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic autoimmune disorder which can also cause raised ESR.ESR responds to treatment of underlying disease. Thus, treatment for ulcerative colitis will improve the ESR levels. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi Sorry to hear about your problem. You have a condition called COCCODYNIA. This is basically inflammation of the tip of the tail bone. The tip of the tail bone has a set of three very small bones with joints between them. People who sit for long periods of time involving perhaps, a desk job can transmit considerable pressure to the tip of the tail bone. Treatment involves sitting on a ring cushion with a hole at the center of the cushion. You should sit with the tip of your tail bone in the hole and buttocks on either side. Also, injections given at the spot can reduce inflammation at the point. Hope this helps, Do let me know if you have any more queries on this one, Chat Doctor. Hyderabad. India

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You are right rib fracture generally heals in 2-3 months. But sometimes healed fracture may remain painful for many months. Don't worry about swelling. It is callus formed in the process of healing of fractures. It will gradually reduce in size and may disappear. You can take analgesics(Diclofenac sodium 100\u00a0mg slow release tablets) for pain relief. He is advised to check his serum vitamin D level and if it is low then supplement this. I think this will be of use to you.

Hello, I can understand your concern. Bactrim is not associated with twitches in the scrotum. If your doctor said that you are suffering for epididymitis, then these spasms may be associated with the epididymitis and not the antibiotics. You can wait until the course is complete and infection is eliminated. Most probably it will go away with the infection. In addition, try to do some changes in your lifestyle so that if the spasms are muscular, it can help. You can try to avoid prolonged sitting and try to do some exercises like swimming or brisk walking. If you do not find any relief yet, then consulting a neurologist to diagnose muscle related problems is advised. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best,

Dear patient First you have not mentioned type of fracture and what treatment was given for fracture ? Because treatment depends on type of fracture and displacement. You will be investigated with CT scan of sacrum with 3D reconstruction of images. This will give accurate description of fracture and its displacement and also status of union. Since its two months post fracture union may be started. Now if report shows fracture is displaced and not uniting surgery may be required. If fracture has started uniting, but sacral nerves are compressed then also surgery to free nerves may be required. All the best.

Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about this. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that this skipping beats have to do with rhythm issues. There are some electrical impulses that generates from parts of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm. They cause a premature heart contraction that you feel like a skipped beat, and you might experience palpitation, flattering sensation, pauses, anxiety, difficulties in breathing deeply. Normal, when this extra beats are in high frequency than we treat them medical. Atenolol is one of the alternatives. As you still feel this extra beats, and they are interfering in your daily life than in my opinion we should do some examinations. If I was the treating doctor I would recommend some thinks to find the possible house like a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and valves, a full blood analyze to exclude anemia, hyperthyroidism or electrolyte imbalance and a holder rhythm monitoring under Atenolol to see the frequency of this extra beats. After all this we can better judge if it is necessary to do something like rise atenolol dosage or change it with another anti-arythmic Chat Doctor. Hope I was helpful. Best regards,

Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The possible cause in this case could be ductal Eurasia (dilated ducts). Next possible cause is adenoids - mass lesions, lastly cyst.2. In your age I would suspect ductal pathology - due to hormonal imbalance, cyclical issue.3. In this case I would recommend you to get an ultrasound - non-invasive, no radiation scan for assessment of the lump.4. Ultrasound will help to assess the nature of the lump, source and extensions. If mass lesion an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be helpful to assess the nature of the cells involved in the process.5. I would recommend seeing your GP, get examined, investigated and needful treatment. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask do not hesitate to ask.http

Hello, there are several reasons for the kidney to shrink in size. Usually in chronic kidney disease, the size of kidneys shrink. Does he have any other complaints? Like decrease in urine output? Or swelling over feet or face? Sometime even with age the kidney size can shrink a little. I would suggest if there are no other complaints associated, no need to worry about the size of kidney. Just a regular follow up with USG abdomen to look for size changes will suffice. But if there are other related symptoms, it would be better to get urine examination and renal function test to get it diagnosed and treated accordingly. Thank you

Hello, I can understand your concern. As you are feeling that gum around your wisdom tooth is sore, it is possible that your wisdom tooth on lower left side is impacted, meaning it wants to erupt into oral cavity, but lack of physical space is not allowing its eruption. In such situations, the food you are eating gets lodged into the fold of the gum around that tooth making the area infectious and painful. This pain can be felt up to the ear as referred pain. However, this condition is not associated with the tingling of the hand, which might be related to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D or Vitamin B12. I would advise you to start antibiotic CEA Chat Doctor.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Pain around the belly button and hearing heavy pulses at the same site is suggestive of a vascular pathology. Aorta is the big blood vessel which runs from the thorax to the abdomen before dividing into renal arteries. Any abnormality of the vessel especially aneurysm will cause turbulent blood flow and loud audible pulsations. You need to get an MRI of the abdominal area to know the status of the aorta and other structures. Consult a cardiovascular expert for clinical examination, ordering investigations and hence management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Start high fiber diet, including fruits, green leafy vegetables, salads etc.3. Go for walking at least after meals. 4. Avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm. If by above steps, you are not improving in 5-6 days then get done ultrasound of abdomen and serum potassium level. This is to rule out paralytic illus.

Hello, You may have not broken any bone. But for a safer side, an x-ray is good. Using cr\u00eape bandage or immobilizing the part in ankle brace or stocking will help. Do hot water fermentation and keep it elevated. If it's a fracture you will get to know in 3 days of time. But usually, it never fractures so easily as lower limb muscles are too strong.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint a bad taste in mouth with a medical history of taking antibiotics seems related as the bad taste in mouth is a common side effect of taking antibiotics and as the antibiotic intake will stop gradually the taste in mouth will become normal. Sore throat can be due to either viral throat infection [bacterial infection is not probable as you are already on antibiotics] or can be due t aid reflux caused due to antibiotic intake as antibiotics can cause hyperacidity and acid reflux which in turn cause sore throat. You should chew flavored sugar-free chewing gums, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations, can anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and avoid spicy food. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause of solid lump below breast -This lump seems to be fibroadenoma with blood flow and tender sore mass due to surrounding stenosis. Possibility of sebaceous cyst is not there, as the USG showed solid tumor and not the cystic tumor. And for the sebaceous cyst blood flow would not have increased and its USG appearance would have been of Cystic swelling, and hence possibility of it being a sebaceous cyst is not there. I would suggest consultation with ER Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will mostly improve in 1-2 weeks. If not improving then get done chest x-ray to rule out internal pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi there, first you have to relax and stop worrying bout getting cancer. Gastritis gets engraved by stress, and it is no solution to your problem. If you are so anxious about getting cancer then visit a gastroenterologist who will do an endoscopic examination and if required will take a biopsy from the esophagus which can be examined microscopically to rule out malignancy. It will relieve you of the anxiety and decrease your stress. Look for solutions to a problem instead of worrying about it. This approach will help you in other aspects of life. Take care

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your ECG clearly suggestive of inferior wall ischemia. There are three walls of heart which are supplied by three coronary arteries. Whenever there is obstruction in any of the coronary artery, blood supply to one particular heart wall is reduced and hence patient is having chest pain. So on the basis of your ECG findings, possibility of obstruction in the right coronary artery and hence inferior wall ischemia is more. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 2d echo and coronary Angiography for the diagnosis of this. No need to worry about death as timely treatment in coronary artery disease have excellent prognosis. So don't wait at home, consult cardiologist and discuss all these. You may need angioplasty and blood thinner medicines. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Dear, the cream that you're applying is it being prescribed by a dermatologist?well, if not it could be dangerous to experiment with your organ. Moreover, such creams are prescribed if there is any local fungal infections or itching. A cut on penile shaft is not at all an indication for it. Probably it's a Chat Doctor. Washing it repeatedly or using soap will only make it worse. In this case an application of simple petroleum jelly or cold cream will work wonder. Yet, I still strongly advice you to show it to any general psychic or dermatologist, and not take chances.it appears to me highly likely from your complaints, that the present you are taking is not correct. Hope you find my advice useful. Thank you

Hithank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned that pain is in the index finger a thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed. Now to understand this, that the pain is triggered on activity and subsides on relaxing. As you mentioned the nature of the pain is sharp in nature on the tips, what are the other associated symptoms along with the pain. Like any kind of numbness or the pain is just restricted to one location and of one kind.to assess further, are you a higChatDoctorputer usage person? Or a high smartphone usage person? Any injury or skin color changes in the painful area, are the nail beds intact? Since it is totally a sensory symptom, we need to assess two things here. One is to assess the nerve with Nerve conduction velocity test and the other is the MRI of the cervical spine. Nerve conduction study will help assess the course of the nerve and its functioning also any carpal tunnel compression is present will be revealed. Incase this test is negative than an MRI of the cervical spine is guided to see the soft tissues' compression on the nerve roots. Also, how are your motor functions of the strength. Is there any difference in the strength of both the hands? If so than a musculoskeletal assessment will help further. Now since it is a sensory issue of the radial nerve, as radial nerve supplies the index finger and control the motor and sensory functions of it, assessment done in detail will help come close to diagnosis and guide for further rehabilitation plan. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recoveryregardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for the query, Before I respond to your questions, let me tell you that the management of disc problem whether medical or surgical depends upon the clinical and investigations findings. It should never be based upon the MRI findings. If a patient has pain and neurological deficit (documented by a neurologist) and pain has not responded to medical management and MRI shows problem with clinical correlation, then surgery is the best option. However, if a patient has pain alone and there are no other neurological deficits, initial treatment should always be conservative with medicines and physiotherapy. Persistent pain despite treatment is another indications for surgery. If you feel that you have tried medications and physical therapy and the pain still continues you may opt for surgery the way your doctor has advised. I agree with your doctor in the sense that this will not result in any permanent damage to the nerve. You may even wait if you do not have any other symptoms except pain. Waiting will not cause permanent damage to the nerves in this type of situations. Hope this clarifies Best wishes Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor .com/doctors/

Symptoms of orthostatic hypotension include lightheadedness, weakness, blurred vision, and syncope or passing out. Leg stocking, proper HY Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. There is stage 4 cancer in the above case. The colon cancer might spread to the liver in half of patients during or after chemotherapy. It is important to know the number and size of liver lesions. A single lesion might be further treated, but multiple lesions have low response rates to treatment. Since the oncologist has told that surgery is not possible therefore I consider the lesions to be multiple and difficult to be operated up on. There are techniques like radiofrequency ablation and trans arterial chemo embolization which might not work for every patient. The prognosis is difficult and survival might be 2 years in most of the patients with colon cancer and having liver spread. Please do not worry.

Hello Mr Ashish, and welcome to ChatDoctorFirst thing to consider is if you have a family history of hair loss, if there is male baldness in the family. In this case you will be more prone to similar problems. Other causes to consider are hormonal(thyroid etc.), any lifestyle or residence change, stress, any history of recent illness like typhoid, any chemical procedures, etc. These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth. For now, you may apply hair Minoxidil solution to scalp with hair supplements daily like Collinear. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months. Do consult a dermatologist as well, to assess your type of hair loss and to give you treatment based on the results. They may also suggest some routine blood tests if required.is medical, methods do not work well for you, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP.hair transplant etc., as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation. Hope this helps you.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. The FNAC from lungs and liver are most important to decide the future course of treatment. Cancer cannot be confirmed unless a FNAC or biopsy test is positive. For vomiting and pain he must be given symptomatic treatment and his general condition is to be improved. A complete blood count is advised to know if he is having anemia. This has to be discussed with the doctor and if he is having low hemoglobin then it has to be treated first. If secondary cancer is confirmed then it is probably stage 4 disease. Treatment must be started immediately to extend survival and regular follow up with oncologist is required. Pain relief medicines should also be given with nutrition and supportive care. Please do not worry.

Having said that, it seems likely from your description that you may be suffering from condition called as polycystic kidney disease which may progress gradually inspire of treatment, finally needing removal of the enlarged n infected kidneys in SOME cases(not all). Those patients will need renal replacement therapy of some form.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and I understand your concern. I feel very sad to inform that there are currently no effective pharmaceutical treatments that can stop deterioration or reverse the deficits caused by the post polio syn Chat Doctor. However, a number of controlled studies have demonstrated that non fatiguing exercises may improve muscle strength and reduce tiredness. Non fatiguing means, exercise that don't let you fatigue - mild to moderate exercise. My dear friend I want to share here that exercise is safe and effective when carefully prescribed and monitored by experienced health professionals, and you must also consult nearby physiotherapist. Exercise is more likely to benefit those muscle groups that were LEAST affected by polio. Cardiopulmonary endurance training is usually more effective than strengthening exercises, especially when activities are paced to allow for frequent breaks and strategies are used to conserve energy - means do not fatigue yourself while exercising. Heavy or intense resistive exercise and weight-lifting using polio-affected muscles is not advised, as this can further WEAKEN rather than strengthen these muscles. Hope you find the answer helpful, please do get back for further queries I will be happy to assist you. Please rate 5 stars as you find some benefits with this information, it will ignite me to help more. Wishing your good health. Regards

Hi Linda, thanks for asking from Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The continuous fluid oozing from spine could be due to- Chronic osteomyelitis- Fungal or tubercular infection (chronic infection)The ideal way of approach is- CT of involved spine area with contrast image-Culture sensitivity of floodlit will help in confirming diagnosis. After confirming diagnosis, it can be treated by surgical exploration and antibiotics for prolonged duration. You should consult spine surgeon for the above. It is unlikely to be related to hip replacement if that area of spine is far from hip. Hope it will help. Thanks. Take care

It can be easily closed with a device, and it is a procedure without any significant risk. Generally a TEE is done before device closure to determine the exact size of defect and select an appropriate device for closure. I would suggest you should get it closed as the procedure is non-invasive safe and can prevent any future complications. The best doctor in Chennai and probably India for the same is
