If the margins of resection at the time of the 2011 surgery were not involved by the tumor, i.e. were free (this will be in the biopsy report), then the likelihood of the tumor recurring are remote. Also, more than 2 years have now passed without him having any problems. If such a cancer recurs, it generally comes back at the site of previous surgery or in the front of neck (not back). All these factors point towards this being an unrelated thing. You have not mentioned the duration of this lump. If it is recent it is even less likely to be cancer. I will suggest you to take Tab. Ciprofloxacin 500\u00a0mg twice daily + Tab. Ibuprofen 1 thrice daily + Tab. Sanitizing 150\u00a0mg twice daily for 7 days. If the lesion persists then get a FNAC (needle test) done by a pathologist from the lesion. Also, if you are a diabetic, get a blood sugar done, they may be high, which can cause infections in this area.

Hello, What I feel is that during any cardiac issue the left hand will not become stiff, but it will be painful and difficult to lift as it will feel weaker. Since the cardiac profile is assessed which turned to be normal then it's not related to cardiac. Next, the tightness you mentioned, how is it? Like you feel pain, tingling, numbness kind of symptoms? Of its just tightness of muscle? If you get these symptoms you need to figure out what is the nature of the tightness, and what is the nature of the pain? If you describe the pain and tightness nature than we can come to a proper understanding. Also, for time being you can use hot water fermentation over the neck region and do some simple exercise for the neck and upper limb. But please make sure you figure out the exact nature of the pain if at all you get in the future. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, thank you for your query. If you have missed a pill, you can go ahead and take 2 pills next day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule.

So yes, you are protected. But in future do use some other form of protection e.g. Condom when you miss the pill. Thank you, wishing you good health

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Appearance of black / dark veins around the penis shaft is quite normal and there is nothing to worry about it. In all males this blood vessels are seen on the surface of penis. The shape and pattern may be different in individuals, but it is normal. In flaccid stage these veins are not prominent. When one gets erection the blood flow the penile vessels increase. This leads to filling of them with blood, and they become prominently visible. In fact, it is the blood flowing that is responsible for erection and its maintenance. In my opinion what you have is normal and there is no need to worry. However, if you are anxious about it, local examination by your doctor is the only option. You need treatment which will not be possible without your local doctor examining you.

Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history about your son and understood the concerns. Since he is suffering since the age of 4 and now is 45 means 41 years there is some problem and as you have already mentioned the problem looks to be related to the changes that the VP shunt has caused. There would have been infection and thence formation of fibrosis and adhesion and so on. Since you have said all tests done but not mentioned any, I would advise you for the following if not yest done. Contrast enhanced CT scan and thus Enterocolitis to see if there is any intestinal obstruction. MRI of the back to see if there is any problem of the spinal cord causing neurological pain. And the best resort is to go for diagnostic Laparoscopy or laparotomy so that the cause can be found and treated.

Hello, It looks that most probably your mother had fracture near knee joint. Your local or tho doctor put traction and applied plaster. He had decided for this conservative mode of treatment due to her age and low weight. This was the need of that time as she was not fit for surgery or other mode of treatment. Probably her fracture may be mildly misaligned. This may be the one of the cause of her pain or there may be associated weakness in her bones and muscles. In my routine OLD, I used to have an X-ray of affected part to rule out disturbance in geometry of joint. In such case she may use custom-made braces. You may take help of an orthotic expert for this. Your orthopedic doctor may prescribe this after detail examination. For muscle weakness, a physiotherapist can help her with exercises like qua Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

It could be a case of childhood asthma or respiratory tract infection. It is hard to comment without examining or investigating. Nebulization is good, and you can get a nebulizer at home if recurrent usage is required. Stalin is very frequently used and widely tolerated. The only side effect could be increased heart rate, but usually it is not a cause of concern. I do not expect any long term side effects.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear about your husband who is having hepatocellular cancer. There is probably a blood clot which has developed in the IOC which is a great vein transporting blood to the right chamber of the heart. This is a serious concern and I hope you have discussed the matter with allopatry doctors and treatment might have been started to dissolve the clot. The problem happens when such a clot reaches the lung through the heart and causes complete occlusion of pulmonary artery leading to lungs not receiving blood for oxygenation. If your husband develops breathlessness then please take him to the hospital immediately. Ayurveda does not have any confirmed research on the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in my knowledge. It is important to keep in mind that the blood clot in IOC should be dissolved to extend his life using allopatry medicine and prevent sudden complications. Please do not worry.

Hi. Thanks for the query. I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that if you have a tooth that is fractured or broken then pain in other teeth on the same side can be a radiating pain from the broken tooth as there must be nerve exposure leading to nerve irritation and inflammation causing pain. Secondly pain on biting down on teeth can be due to generalized gum infection or Periodontitis while jaw joint related problems can also cause such pain. So first you need to get a clinical examination done by an Oral Physician and get a full mouth x-ray known as a Panoramic x-ray or Orthopantomogram done. The tooth that is chipped off will have to be treated with Root Canal Treatment followed by capping of tooth if it is in a position to be saved. For gross decay extraction is advisable. For other teeth treatment will depend on the cause. As of now you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, Naproxen etc. to relieve pain. Take a soft diet and avoid stress as it can cause clenching of teeth that can further cause pain. You can also send me scans of your x-rays by going to my profile and click on \"Ask Me A Question so that we can discuss in detail and I can advise you the most appropriate treatment \"Hope this helps. Regards.

Hello, It is not normal to experience severe abdominal pain, whatever the cause may be. I cannot for sure correlate your pain with an impending period. The use of an emergency contraceptive pill creates hormone imbalance, hence there can be a delay in the next natural period. Pain can be due to a possible cyst in the ovary, pelvic congestion, or an undetected pregnancy. I would ask you to have a proper evaluation if you miss your period by a week. Prefer regular contraception in the future. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

There is no alternative to Dialysis

Hallow Dear, Usually, healthy egg is released by ovary when its size is around 18 mm size. Chances of successful pregnancy are more when the egg is released from the follicles of size between 18 mm to 21 mm. One of the follicle in left ovary is of 1.8 cm; i.e. 18 mm size. So it is very likely that this follicle will rupture any day. Hence, I would suggest you to utilize every day now for sexual relations. Another option is to get in. Chat Doctor 5000 IU to induce the ovulation from this follicle of 18 mm size and start having intercourse every day; or at least every alternate day for better chances of conception. Please continue to have ultrasonography daily for few days to find out what happened to these two follicles.

Endometrium of thickness between 9 mm to 14 mm is most conducive for the implantation of the fertilized ovum. I hope this provides you sufficient guidelines.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Propranolol is beta blocker. It will cause reduction in blood pressure and heart rate. Alcohol and cocaine, both are CNS depressants (they suppress brain and its functions). So alcohol and cocaine will also cause hypotension and low pulse rate. So if patient is on propranolol and alcohol and cocaine, chances of hypotension, bradycardia (low pulse rate) and cardiac arrest is more. So better not to take alcohol or cocaine if you are taking propranolol. So counsel your husband to quit alcohol and cocaine because he is taking propranolol. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

Hello am sorry about your mothers' death. The symptoms you are having as easy navigability, shortness of breath, fainting episodes, headaches etc. are most likely due to normal grief reaction.

As symptoms are causing dysfunction in your social and personal life I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for opinion. Thanks

1) it is difficult to say role of Omnacortil on bilirubin level without knowing prior history and blood reports. If your father is suffering from acute hepatitis (due to alcohol) then yes there is role of Omnacortil in hepatitis.2) the prescribed dosage of Omnacortil which your father is taking is safe-dosage. But you can't stop steroid medications like other medications. You need to reduce dosage over few days then only can stop taking medications.

Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you are having and for the kidney that was removed at 3\u00a0years. I know how concerned you can be having just a single kidney. The symptoms you have described are very, very nonspecific and cannot be entirely attributed to the kidneys. It could be from the muscles of the back because the kidney wouldn't produce twitching and spasms. Muscles do this. If it were a kidney problem, pain is often inevitable in acute aggression and either constant or intermittent. I don't really think that is the case right now. Because you have just a single kidney, if this problem should persist beyond 24\u00a0hours, please consult a doctor and make sure all is okay especially with the remaining kidney. Excess alcohol consumption is not good for the body. Please, always try to keep your consumption as low as possible. I hope this helps and I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask more questions if need be.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry much. As your CT Thorax report suggestive of old fibrotic scar in lung and pleural thickening. Both are indicators of old disease process which has been healed. So they are not suggestive of active disease. So no need to worry much. This can be due to old tuberculosis or pneumonia. And these lesions will remain throughout the life. And no treatment is needed because they are inactive and not harmful. So nothing to manage in your case.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A hard lump on the shoulder blade is most probably a lesion arising from bone.an X-ray of the back is required to know whether the lesion is arising from the bone or from area surrounding the shoulder blade. Since, the lesion is hard, there is likelihood of the lump arising from the shoulder blade. Pain in the lesion suggests involvement of nerve by the lump. A cyst is unlikely to produce a hard painful swelling. Thus, there is more possibility of a solid swelling. An aspiration cytology is the next investigations required. In aspiration cytology, cells are aspirated from the swelling, spread on slide, stained with appropriate stains and studied microscopically. On the basis of all these investigations, diagnosis will be made and thus management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
