Hemolytic disease of the newborn (the condition is known medically as erythroblastosis fetal is) occurs when there is an incompatibility between the blood types of the mother and the fetus/baby. There is also potential incompatibility if the mother is Rh negative and the father is positive. Now since you are lady, what you need to know now is your own blood type to be able to determine if you will require additional medical care when you are pregnant to protect the fetus (from incompatibility). The Rh factor genetic information is also inherited from our parents, but it is inherited independently of the AGO blood type alleles. There are 2 different alleles for the Rh factor known as Rh+ and Rh-. Now, if your father is Rh+ and mother Rh- it means you will likely inherit an Rh+ antigen (your genotype will be Rh+/Rh-= the two alleles but the Rh+ will be the dominant).

Decreased platelet count may have several causes such as Chat Doctor. From the description that you have given your condition appears to be adult ITP (IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIA). It occurs due to molecules called autoantibodies on the platelets surface which destroys the platelets. Autoantibodies in simple terms is like an army that attacks the people of its own country. I would suggest that you get a peripheral smear evaluated along with your complete blood count by a hematopathologist. You may also get a Combs test done to find out if there are other immunological problems that are getting your platelet count down. I presume that your initial work up would have also included HIV testing as HIV can also cause low platelet count. However, in your case this does not appear to be the cause. The most important advice I would give is to monitor your platelet count regularly. Repeating the bone marrow test is not necessary for ITP as the problem is not in the marrow. If the platelet count falls below 50, 000/ cu. Mm then your doctor should be notified. Platelet counts below 20,000 have a risk for causing bleeding within the brain. Adults with platelet counts >50,000/mm3 do not require treatment. Treatment is indicated for adults with counts < 50,000/mm3 with significant mucous membrane bleeding. Treatment also is indicated for those adults with risk factors for bleeding (e.g., hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, vigorous lifestyle) and in patients with a platelet count < 20,000-30,000/mm3.

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.

If you have had unprotected sex during this period it does not result in pregnancy. So there is no need to take emergency contraception. Please note that the fluid released before ejaculation also contains sperms and can cause pregnancy. So even though your boyfriend did not ejaculate in you there is a possibility of pregnancy if you have had sex on days other than safe period. Therefore, you need to take emergency contraception. Loestrin24Fe cannot be used as emergency contraception. Discuss with your family physician and take emergency contraception. 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.

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.

There is no guarantee that you will be more comfortable after the surgery on our spine. At least take some time to think very seriously before undergoing surgery.

You had some problems earlier and that is why your disc material protruded and made compression on nerves. Your two times diffusion was only a mechanical correction. As a Homeopath, I would suggest you to approach an expert Homeopath and get his treatment. Most probably you had a very shocking conflict before the attack of backache and this was repeated in subsequent episodes. They are not resolved. Physical expression is only a subsequent manifestation following the mental problem. Resolve the problems in the mental level by a good counselling and take homeopathic treatment from a good Homeopath.

The post Exposure Prophylaxis of rabies depend upon the degree of exposure, and the prophylactic measures may vary from simple antirabies vaccines to the use of passive immunity, in the form of anti-rabies serum or immunoglobulins, but since rabies is a potentially fatal disease and its post exposure vaccination have shown to be having almost 99.9% efficacy, so normally doctors don't recommend taking chances, so even for trivial scratches the vaccinations are suggested quite often. But in your case, since dog is well vaccinated, and since you know the vaccination status of the dog, then it must be, a pet dog likely. So it would be still encouraging if you reconfirm the exact booster dosages and whether the vaccines schedule was followed, as per protocol. If dog is available, it can be examined by a vet to reconfirm whether it has any signs and symptoms of rabies? Also, the history that, whether it was a provoked bite or spontaneously unprovoked incidence is very important, in case of stray dogs mostly. The kind of wound you inflicted is a category 2 wound, which needs rabies vaccination normally, without any need of antirabies serum. But since dog is well vaccinated as you have described\\u2019t hen need of vaccination declines. I would still suggest you, that even if there is a little of ambiguity, regarding the dogs' status, you can start anti rabies vaccination according to regular schedule of day 0,3,7 and 21.

So do not worry about the dating of the pregnancy. More importantly since the fetal pole has appeared when compared to the previous report it would mean that there is some progress in the pregnancy. I would advise you to wait and get another scan done to check for fetal heart after 10 days of this one. This will tell for sure if the pregnancy is viable or not. Also since you have a seizure disorder and taking medications for the same, you need to consult your neurologist and see if the seizure disorder is under control.

Implantable contraceptives like the Implant and Explain, even though they have expiration dates, are effective for even a few months beyond that date. This is because the manufacturer is required to post an expiration date that is actually earlier than when the device truly becomes ineffective. When switching birth control methods, hormonal symptoms are very common. Many of the symptoms that we commonly associate with pregnancy including bloating, breast tenderness, moodiness, weight gain, nausea, headaches and others are common side effects of progesterone based contraceptives (like the Explain) and cannot be distinguished from pregnancy. The only way to know absolutely for sure that you are not pregnant is by performing a urine pregnancy test. Modern pregnancy tests are extremely accurate, and will become positive within 10 days to two weeks after conception. However, the reason your healthcare provider did not require pregnancy test before giving you your new Explain is that, because of the reason I explained earlier, you really were not at risk for pregnancy.

Though IRENA releases progesterone, it does not suppress the regular synthesis of progesterone from ovaries and that may be the reason for the elevated level of progesterone. With Chat Doctor. Progesterone will prevent the implantation of fertilized ovum in the uterus. Also, an IUD serves as a foreign body in uterus and prevents pregnancy and so the chances of pregnancy are minimal with IRENA. You are anxious about conception because of absence of periods.

It is best to clarify even the smallest doubt of cancer before taking chemotherapy. Without confirmation no one should take chemotherapy as it can cause serious side effects and damage. First he should get a CT scan or MRI scan done and then a biopsy. In this way the cells from cheeks will be studied under microscope and any abnormal cancer cells picked up. There is usually no doubt in finding a cancer on biopsy. If not conclusive then a repeat biopsy is to be done. Doing a PET scan is advised if doubt persists and this tells a cancer in most cases.

Gallstones are small stones that form inside the gallbladder. Gallstones pain (Biliary colic) usually is experienced when the gallbladder contracts in response to a fatty meal. This compresses the stones, blocking the opening. As the gallbladder relaxes several hours after the meal, the pain subsides.1. Medical therapy is an option for gallstones, though a vast number of surgeons around the globe prefer removal of gall bladder-surgical intervention. Medical therapy includes intake of ursodeoxyholic acid (UCA) for a period of 12 to 24 months.

Medical therapy is useful if mild symptoms, stones are smaller (weight reduction and low-fat diet is also a part of medical therapy.2. Surgery lasts for less than one hour (usually half an hour). Laparoscopic surgery has greatly reduced surgery time duration and surgical complications. You may travel 7 to 10 days after surgery, though the surgeon may indicate precise time.

Or there are transparent braces these days which are less visible. Treatment with fixed braces can last from 6 months up to a year varying from case to CAS.

In your case a biopsy has already been done and let us await its result. You're understanding that cancerous lumps don't bleed after biopsy is correct. But I think your presumption that if it was scar tissue it would have bled is not correct. Scar tissue also need not bleed. Needle biopsies do not usually cause any bleeding unless a blood vessel is ruptured during the procedure Since how long have you noticed this lump. Is the size of the lump increasing ? If the biopsy comes as positive for cancer then you will have to undergo a series of investigation to find out he the extent of the disease. ? Whether it is confined to the chest wall only or whether it has gone beyond the chest wall to other regions. Treatment decision will depend on the results of this If the biopsy comes as negative for cancer then there are 2 options 1- If your physician thinks it is insignificant then you need to follow it up. Just keep a check on your lump to see whether it is increasing in size and also get it checked by your physician regularly2- The second option (and my preference) is to do an open biopsy especially if the lump was detected recently and is increasing in size and also if the lump is firm to hard (and not very soft). The reason is needle biopsy can be negative, but this does not always mean there is no cancer especially if the tissue sample taken is not adequate. Also time factor is important. You may lose time keeping the lump under follow up to see whether it is increasing in size Hope you are satisfied with my reply. Anyway don't worry.

Cause for the lump in your head and throat-In my opinion both these lumps are differrent-One on the head above right ear-is diagnosed by your doctor as but bite-and is being treated accordingly. The bite seems to be infected with secondary infection.Hence, I suggest it to consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. Other lump -on the throat-is a separate lump and is not causing the headache you have. Headache you have is due to the infected bug bite and needs to be treated by antibiotics with your ER Surgeon. For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor.It's not thyroid as you think -otherwise Your doctors would have asked you to do USG and other tests to rule it out.

I understand your concerns. For ideal blood glucose control the fasting blood glucose should be less than 110 mg/DL, the 2-hour post radial blood glucose should be less than 160-170 mg/do. I am not sure of your mothers age as these values are patients who are less than 55-60 years old and who are reasonably in good health. As a person becomes older or if there is a diabetic patient who has multiple problems, then these target values would also be a little higher than too tight control of an elderly persons blood glucose will cause them to have low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) and this can cause in serious complications. I am also not sure how often your mother is taking the Glycimark M and the Logo 0.2 mg. Assuming your mother is less than 60 years old and that she is reasonably good health, if she is taking Glycimark M 40/500 only once a day then it can be increased to twice a day (15 -30 min before breakfast and before dinner). If she is already taking this tablet twice a day, then she can increase the dose of this, she can take Glycimark M 80/500 twice a day. Recheck her blood glucose levels in 2 weeks. If her blood glucose is still high then she can take Logo 0.2 mg either twice a day (if previously she has been taking it only once) or up to three times a day (if she has been taking it only twice a day). If at any point she experienced low blood glucose symptoms like sweating, hunger, dizziness, fast heart beat, mood changes etc., then it is the Glycimark-m that is causing the symptoms, and she needs to reduce the dose of this.

Decreased blood flow during menses is one of the advantage of oral contraceptive pills. In your case, it seems to be the same.

If you are having bull and blew in your lung than possibility of pneumothorax is always high. Bulla and blew can easily rupture by coughing, sneezing, heavyweight lifting etc. and produce pneumothorax. The only solution for you is to consult pulmonologist and get done bursectomy (removal of bull and bless) with pleurodesis (iatrogenic adhesion of layers of pleura). Pleurodesis will remove the potential space for pneumothorax because of adhesions. So recurrent pneumothorax can be avoided. This procedure is known as VATS (Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery). So consult pulmonologist and discuss these. Vitamin b 6 deficiencies can not cause pneumothorax. And vitamin B 6 is water-soluble and easily available in day to day food.

It suggests that you have low sperm count as well as the low sperm motility. Bear in mind that a men fertility can fluctuate a great deal from week to week. Lots of things affect male fertility. If your fertility is low you should have at least three semen analyses before reaching any conclusions. Do not be too disheartened by a single result. When sperm motility is less, then chances of spontaneous pregnancy decreases. This is one of the common causes of male factor infertility. This is also one of the most common semen abnormalities in men. It could be due to hormonal deficiency, mechanical obstruction to outflow tract, infection and many more. Treatment depends on the cause. Assisted reproductive technology like in vitro fertilization has revolutionized the treatment of infertility. Each year thousands of babies are born in India as a result of ART. Medical advances have enabled many couples to have their own biological child.

As such there is no treatment available for dengue. But you can take the fluid therapy. This can help flush the virus from the system. Checking out platelet count is also necessary. If your platelet count goes down severely you may face the hemorrhagic episode. This will be helpful in proper management. In future avoid mosquitoes bites as dengue can be spread by the mosquito bites. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

I am sorry that your breasts have developed such a painful condition. You are correct that you may have breast hypertrophy, which is abnormal growth of the breasts, due to the hormones of pregnancy. Gigantomastia describes breasts that increase in size by 2.5\\u00a0kg or greater. Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for breast hypertrophy, especially during pregnancy. Hormonal medications really do not work, and elective surgery is not recommended until at least a year after the baby is born, as sometimes the size of the breast does go down on its own. In the meantime, ice packs and supportive, stretch bras, even when you sleep, can help with the discomfort. Limiting your overall weight gain will also help slow down breast growth, as a significant portion of breast tissue is fat. Applying lots of lotion and emollients to the skin will help reduce stretch marks.

The prevention of kidney stone is a complex subject and there are loads of good information on this on the Internet. I would recommend the Mayo Clinics website as an excellent place to start. Also, you need to discuss this with you own doctor or urologist. First it depends on what type of stone is developing in your kidney or bladder. This has to be determined. If you can, develop the habit of urinating through a sieve just in case you can catch a small stone for your doctor to send for analysis. Most stones are calcium based. Dietary restrictions in calcium is however no longer recommended. This is because it does not seem to work and, in any case, calcium is an important mineral for proper bodily functioning. Some stones are composed of uric acid in which case allopurinol, to lower uric acid levels, may be prescribed. All recurrence rate of all stones can be reduced by increasing daily fluid intake. The cheapest way to achieve this is by Chat Doctor. The aim should be to increase fluid intake to the point where you are passing at least four pints of urine every day.

For this the serum creatinine must be measured, and glomerular filtration rate is also assessed. Disease in the right kidney might be in the initial stages.

It takes time. You need not do anything for this to happen. Normal platelet count is 1.5 to 4 lakh/MCL. Our body will try to produce more platelets when the count is low. I have seen many cases with platelet count even below 40000 and recovering well without any blood transfusion. Low platelet count will cause bleeding disorders. Keep watching for any bleeding from nose, bleeding in the eye, giddiness. If your mother develops any of these better to take her to an ER. A persistent low platelet count calls for further evaluation. I suggest you to take repeat platelet count. I hope that it will come normal. Take care of your mother. If you have any other queries, feel free to contact me."} {"_id": "000002396", "text": "Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.

First and foremost I cannot make any definitive decisions or a definitive diagnosis without considering your full history and undertaking a full examination, but I will use to above information to try and advice you accordingly. Pain around a tooth can either originate from the tooth itself or from the tissues surrounding the tooth. 1 -If the pain originates from the tooth itself it is usually either due to decay which is encroaching onto the pulp (the nerve chamber) or the filling is so deep that it is close to the nerve and some constituents of the filling material are stimulating pain as they find their way through the identical tubules into the nerve chamber. Another possibility is that a composite resin material was used (white filling) and as it contracts when cured (hardened) it pulls against the walls of the cavity which causes pain. One final possibility is that you may have a fracture through the tooth. I know you say this was ruled out, but in fact it is very difficult to rule out fractures in teeth. They certainly don't show up very well on radiographs (X-rays) and they are hard to identified clinically (in the mouth) unless they are extensive. I would like to see the radiographs if possible.

It is important for you to understand that at the peak of her fertility, any healthy woman around thirty years of age has approximately 1 in 5 to 6 chance of becoming pregnant during the fertile period of her cycle. This chance may become less due to a number of factors - increasing age, timing, and frequency of intercourse etcetera. In your case, the fact that you are not staying with your husband regularly, and he is based abroad reduces your chance of becoming pregnant. Besides your marriage is very recent. A guiding principle for starting to investigate for sub-fertility is when a woman has not conceived for twelve months of having regular sex with her partner. This criterion has not been met in your case. However, given your health concerns - diagnosis of horseshoe kidney and PRO, it is important to start an investigation and plan for the conception. Horseshoe kidney is a condition that is there from birth and can occur together with malformations and problems linked to the reproductive parts. It may be worth getting imaging done for the kidneys, ureters, bladders as well as for the uterus, tubes and varied. The blood tests for a renal function should be done and review of results with a Urologist or Gynecologist may be useful. Please get your blood pressure checked as sometimes this can occur with this condition.PRO or polycystic ovaries is a condition that is common, occurring in one out of three women. Sometimes it resolves with correction of weight, lifestyle changes, Sometimes medications may be necessary. Giving combined pills for 3-6 months is sometimes offered to manage irregular periods if fertility is not much of a concern. Moulton is a contraceptive pill, so it might not be the preferred method in your case. Closed and Phaeton might be a better alternative, however, the intercourse has to be properly consummated, timed to the fertile period of your cycle and occur every two days to maximize the chances of conception.

In general, a fasting laboratory glucose test 125 mg/DL and above verified in the same manner twice is indicative of a diagnosis of diabetes. 5.7-6.4 A1C is prediabetic, but you have not mentioned whether these values are fasting or postprandial. A fasting triglyceride level is an independent risk for heart disease and standards recommend keeping it below 150 mg/DL. A level of 219 indicates a need for a low fat, high fiber, low fructose/high fructose corn syrup diet. So, I hear you are worried about your health. I do see some risk factors you can lower. A good public health diet is the Mediterranean Diet with no added sugar, no alcohol, and cut the fructose out, eat whole food and avoid added sugar. You would benefit from an exercise program to stimulate cardiac circulation. I would suggest both cardio and strength training routines. If you need to lose weight, losing it will be most helpful for lowering triglycerides, sugar and increasing overall health. Keep in touch periodically with your personal doctor to have your labs monitored and explained. You gave me a UA without a creatinine. However, I would keep my eye on the kidneys if you were my patient. A UA of 30 protein could be significant, would like to check with creatinine ratio. Possibility of decreased kidney function. What is your glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? If you are in early stages of kidney decline keeping your protein lean and low might preserve the functioning you have. In summary, if you were my patient I would counsel you on a low fat, high fiber, high water, lean low protein diet with no added sugar and limited fructose. Read labels, no high fructose corn syrup.

Unfortunately the chances of pregnancy for endometrial tuberculosis are very low. Only 5 - 10% conceive. I understand that you are trying for a baby, but it is best that you do know the chances of a successful outcome.

Fertomid is a type of fertility medication used help to cause ovulation in women who have trouble getting pregnant. Because you did get pregnant (even though you had a miscarriage), unless you have been trying since then for over a year and been unable to conceive, the Fatimid medication will not likely increase your chance of pregnancy significantly. Therefore, even if you forgot to take some pills, you still have a significant chance of pregnancy as you are still very young, especially if you have regular menstrual cycles. If you and your husband have not been trying to conceive for more than a year on your own, I would not recommend using any fertility medication. Using Fatimid for more than four menstrual cycles can actually reduce your risk of pregnancy, as it decreases the effect of estrogen on your uterine lining. 80% of healthy couples will conceive within one year if they are having regular (at least 2 to 3 days per week) intercourse without contraception. One in 10 pregnancies will end in miscarriage, which means that 90% of the time couples will conceive a perfectly healthy pregnancy after a miscarriage without any form of medical treatment. So in summary, missing the Fatimid tablets this particular month will not likely affect your chance of conceiving this cycle if you already ovulate naturally. I strongly recommend trying to get pregnant naturally for one year before using any type of fertility medication, as your body has proven that you can conceive even though that pregnancy did not work out. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this additional information was helpful.

Firstly, if you took iron supplements during pregnancy or after childbirth, it may have entered the children bloodstream in uterus or through breast milk. The front teeth are developing in the uterus and matures in bone during initial months after birth, which may cause development of such lines. However, if this was the case, the line should have been present when the tooth erupted into oral cavity. As she has history of falling, it is quite a possibility that she may have damaged her front teeth. The teeth may not break or crack, but the pulp inside the tooth may have died making the tooth appear dark. Invariably, this pulp would be infected and should be treated as the tooth is going to stay in oral cavity till your daughter ages 8-9 years. If this is the case, then she might need to go for lumpectomy procedure for the affected teeth. One more possibility is presence of plaque on the teeth due to inadequate oral hygiene and lack of proper tooth brushing. This can be removed by ultrasonic scaling procedure performed by the dentist In any case, I would recommend you to visit a dentist for examination of the line as confirmed diagnosis can be made only after physically looking at the teeth and the line you have described.

As your two tooth had been pulled and you feeling sensitivity or tenderness in area around those tooth, need not worry about it. It's nothing serious, the space around the tooth from where two teeth have been extracted is empty now, and it causes deposition of bacteria, food particles. These bacteria keep on accumulating and improper brushing in that area builds them up which causes sensitivity, itchiness in that area and that is the reason your tongue keeps on going in that area due to pressure built due to bacterial deposition.

You are correct in your knowledge that breast cancer under the age of 30 is extraordinarily rare, however any lump in the breast that is present for more than short period of time really should be evaluated. It is not recommended that mammograms be performed in women who are breast-feeding because the calcium in your milk can sometimes cause abnormalities on the mammogram that mimic cancer. However, ultrasound, a diagnostic test similar to that which are baby got while you are pregnant, can be performed on your breast to see if the lump is the cyst, or a solid mass. A specialist in diseases of the breast would be a reasonable person to see for this evaluation if your GUN doctor is not willing or able to properly examine you and refer you for the ultrasound.

As per your complaint it seems that pain in gums and teeth after deep cleaning and placement of crowns even after 4 days is not a normal finding. If the treatment was appropriately done, then the pain and discomfort should have subsided by now. There is a possibility that either the area is infected still or there are nerve exposures in the crowned teeth if they are not pre-treated with root canal treatment before the crowns were placed. You need getting re-checked by consulting your dentist and getting evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray of the painful areas can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. In case if there is infection, a course of antibiotics and painkillers will relieve. In case if there is nerve exposures, then the crown will have to be removed and the teeth needs to be root canal treated and once the pain completely subsides replacing the crown needs to be done.

Unfortunately, the reason you are no longer menstruating regularly at age 48 is because do not have many viable eggs left in your ovary anymore. Once you stop menstruating for a full year, you are considered in menopause. There is no way to undo menopause nor is there a way to conceive naturally if you no longer produce eggs. Even a fertility doctor will not be able to make you ovulate if you no longer have viable eggs. Therefore, women in your situation can only conceive through in vitro fertilization, with another women eggs use as a substitute for your own. There are medications that you can take that may help you to menstruate however these will not make you ovulate nor help you to conceive.

Splenomegaly is a common complication of cirrhosis. Many cirrhotics have platelet counts in the 60,000s. It is not something to worry about. And it doesn't need to be treated. You have plenty of platelets to properly clot your blood. Blood flows from the spleen...through the portal vein...then through the liver. Scar tissue in the liver (cirrhosis) can interfere with that blood flow, causing pressure to build up in the portal vein (portal hypertension), and the spleen to enlarge (splenomegaly). As the spleen enlarges, it traps platelets. (The amount of platelets in the bloodstream is reduced because the spleen is busy trapping them). So usually people with cirrhosis end up having a problem with portal hypertension and an enlarged spleen, and a reduced platelet count in the bloodstream. As time goes by, the liver may try to repair itself by growing new cells. If there is a lot of scar tissue already present the new cells grow between scar tissue (and result in abnormal nodules). The nodules and scar tissue further interfere with blood flow through the liver. So over time people with advanced cirrhosis can end up having a problem with more and more abnormal nodules and scar tissue forming which interferes even more with blood flow through the liver which makes the spleen continue to enlarge, and the platelet count continue to Chat Doctor.

AMH is produced directly by the ovarian follicles and therefore AMH levels correlate with the number of astral follicles in the ovaries. It has been documented that women with lower AMH have lower astral follicular counts and produce a lower number of oocytes (eggs) compared with women with higher levels.AMH levels do not change significantly throughout the menstrual cycle, and it usually decreases with age. Healthy women, below 38 years old, with normal follicular status at day 3 of the menstrual cycle, have AMH levels of 2.0 - 6.8 NG/ml (14.28 - 48.55 pool/L). High levels are found in patients with Polycystic ovaries. Now, in your case AMH is low suggesting that your egg count is less. AMH cannot be improved by medication.

The bumps you likely are feeling on your cervix are most likely Nathan cysts rather than polyps. Polyps are fleshy soft growths that are just out pouching of the normal glands that line the canal of the cervix. It would be difficult to feel them, and they usually cause irregular bleeding or bleeding after sex. They do not cause infertility (uterine polyps can, but those are not the same and are not possible to feel because they are inside your uterus. Nabothian cysts are just blocked mucus glands that can feel like knobby bumps on the cervix. They also are not harmful and do not interfere with fertility. Both of these findings on your cervix can be seen on a spectrum exam, so a GUN doctor would be able to tell you what you are feeling if they looked inside you. Also, regarding the position of your cervix, this also has no bearing on fertility and does not change from month to month, so you do not need to check your cervix regularly especially if you have a yearly gynecologic checkup. Regarding BBT charting for conception, your temperature goes up AFTER you ovulate, so I recommend not checking it anymore if you know around when you ovulate in your cycle and just have sex every other day from the time your period finishes until you feel premenstrual symptoms. Some women only have sex after their temperature goes up, and they miss the actual time of ovulation. So there is no reason to suspect you will have problems conceiving, and you do not need to be treated for this because it is a normal finding in many women. 80 percent of couples will conceive within a year. If you have been having sex at the right time and it's almost a year, it might be wise to have a GUN exam and a hormonal evaluation, and also have your fianc\\u00e9 get his sperm count checked, as 50 percent of the time it can be a male factor.

It happens with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. Most cases of premature ejaculation do not have a clear cause. With sexual experience and age, men often learn to delay orgasm. Premature ejaculation may occur with a new partner. It may happen only in certain sexual situations or if it has been a long time since the last ejaculation. Psychological factors such as anxiety, guilt, or depression can also cause it.

I feel sympathy for you not because of your disease but because of your poor understanding about your disease. Lymphedema is not your disease.

Just imagine what happens when you pluck out a bud from a plant when you really want to remove the plant as a whole. Instead of destroying the plant with its roots, you are trying to remove the buds. You will only experience further growth of more buds from more areas in the plant. Just like that you are not doing anything to remove your disease in its totality. There will be surely an underlying disease that makes you suffer from lymphedema. Approach a physician who will help you to diagnose your disease after all necessary investigations. Still a conventional medical specialist cannot offer a satisfactory answer for your queries and that is why your doctor said you need not any more go to him. Very often the removal of the plant with its roots is not possible for him. He can maximum suggest another therapy, another machine or another stockings for you.

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.

It can indicate a healed scar in the lung (most commonly due to treated TB in India) or it can indicate what is medically termed Interstitial Lung Disease (OLD) . In the former (post infective fibrosis) it is not a progressive disease. The latter (OLD) encompasses about 200 different causes of fibrosis and it most cases it can be progressive. So the first thing that you should be asking your Consultant is what variety of fibrosis your parent has got and what is the exact diagnosis. Coz the treatment for various OLD is different. If there is any identifiable environmental or work related factor that has initiated the fibrosis then further avoidance of the factor is of utmost importance. For few varieties of OLD steroid works while in few it doesn't. So ask for the exact diagnosis, its extent of involvement in the lungs (whether localized or extensive, one lung or both the lungs), Ask for what all investigations need to be done to find out what OLD your parent has got, discuss the current status, treatment options and prognosis.

Small stones less than 5 mm in size, which are not causing any obstruction, can be managed conservatively with medicines to dissolve the stones. Stones 5 to 10 mm (maximum 15 mm) can be managed with lithography. Stones 10 to 15 mm can be manged with flexible ureteroscopy and laser. Stones more than 15 mm in size should be removed using PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) which is a keyhole surgery through the back. If the stone is blocking ureter (the tube connecting kidney and bladder) and is 5 to 10 mm in size, it can be treated with medicines to expel the stone. Stones larger than 10 mm usually require endoscopic removal, although occasionally ever a larger stone can be made to pass with medicines. The main issue in a young person like your brother is to find out whether there is an underlying predisposition to form recurrent stones. This is usually evaluated after removal of stones. The removed stone is analyzed to find out its chemical composition. You need to check his creatinine, electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid and PTH (parathyroid hormone) levels in blood. It is important to check 24 hour urine levels of various salts which either promote or oppose stone formation. These include urinary volume, creatinine, sodium, calcium, uric acid, phosphorus, oxalate, citrate and magnesium levels. Based on these reports we can suggest dietary modifications and specific medications to prevent further stone formation.Meanwhile, ask him to Chat Doctor. 5 liters per day. Please get back to me with the details of ultrasound report. I can guide you further based on that. Wish your brother a speedy recovery, Warm regards,"} {"_id": "000005018", "text": "Hi...

A bone spur is an extra growth of bone over a bone that has been exposed to trauma or stress. This usually doesn't cause any problem unless it grows enough to compress surrounding tissues like nerves. In your case, this would need to be removed if it is causing significant pain on nerve compression. The procedure usually involves general anesthesia with removal of the spur and any damaged tissue surrounding it. If the spine in that area is unstable after removal of affected bone and tissue, you will need a fusion or reconstruction surgery to keep your normal spinal functions. This will be followed with rigorous Physiotherapy as indicated. As with any surgery, risk of bleeding, nerve damage (for spinal surgery) and cardiovascular risks are present.

So, left axis deviation is not something to worry about. It is a normal ECG pattern in people suffering from hypertension. About infarct diagnosis, it is not made only by the electrocardiogram. To make the diagnose of infarction we rely on different characteristics like chest pain, electrocardiogram, cardiac enzymes and echo cardiograph. If your doctor said that you had this changes, it might mean that this is not an infarction but just an electrocardiogram pattern.

Don't worry, It's nothing serious. As you describe, my opinion is that we are dealing probably with exstrasystoles. These are electrical impulses generating from parts of the heart different from that of normal sinus rhythm. They cause this escaped or skipping beats. You may feel a palpitation, an anxiety sensation or like a beat is skipping. There are different reasons that may generate an extrasystol from simple emotional street to different pathologies like anemia, hyperthyroidism etc. Hypertension and exstrasystoles are independent of each other meaning that you may have extrasystoles without having hypertension, you may have hypertension without extrasystoles or both of them. The fact that you have a low blood pressure is a good news you don't have to worry about this. In fact this is our goal when we treat hypertension. Now we have to deal with this skipping beats. My opinion as a cardiologist is that we are not talking for something urgent. I will recommend you to tell your symptoms to your treating doctor in your next visit to make some simple examinations like a blood analyze, your thyroid hormones. Of course if I was your treating I will recommend a holder monitoring to register and see what happens with your rhythm during these symptoms. If you feel that your heart is beating in a chaotic way it is advisable to make an electrocardiogram in that exact moment to your nearest cardiologist. In mean time avoid coffee and caffeine products because they exacerbate these symptoms. When we document and see what kind of rhythm problem is this we can talk about treatment. Hope I was helpful.

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.

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.

Initially physiotherapy, avoiding excessive physical activities and taking over the counter painkillers help.

Hearing non-existent noises / voices (in medical terms known as hallucinations) is indicative of psychosis, which is a particular type of psychiatric disorder. The current combination of medication which he is taking, already has an anti-psychotic medication i.e. Tribune S (Trifluoperazine). In addition, he is also on a mood-stabilizing medication i.e. Divalproex. Though you have mentioned the diagnosis as depression, he is not on any anti-depressant medication currently. But remember, the word depression can often be used in a non-specific manner by many people, and I'm guessing that he may actually be suffering from a psychotic disorder.PIVOTAL (I presume, not Reversal) is a sedative medication and is used for sleep disturbances and sometimes, to calm down the patient. My opinion is that if he is having psychotic symptoms, it is advisable to treat that specifically (probably by increasing the anti-psychotic medication), rather than merely keep giving him a sedative. Of course, this has to be done only on consultation with a psychiatrist.

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.

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but I would not worry about it. Cysts in the liver are a fairly frequent finding on scans of the abdomen. Most often these cysts tend to be \\\"simple cysts\\\" and do not cause any trouble whatsoever to the patient. That is one of the reason why they can grow up to 25 CMS without the patient being aware of it. Some other causes for cysts in the liver include certain hereditary diseases (where there will also be cysts in the kidneys) and infections (Amoebas). Rarely malignancies can also appear as a cyst. But in all of these conditions, the patients will usually have symptoms from the disease. The current imaging techniques (CT and MRI scans) are very good at diagnosing the nature of the cyst without the need for biopsying the cyst.

But you should not worry, its nothing serious. As you describe, my opinion is that we are dealing with a rhythm issue. Someone can feel strong heart beats for different reasons. It may be a simple sinus tachycardia. This means that the heart is beating faster than 100 beats for minute. Its normal range in a resting condition is between 60-100 beats for minute. When it goes up you may feel a strong heart beat in your chest and a sensation like your head and body is beating too. Another reason for this sensation might be what we call an ekstrasystol.These is electrical heart impulses that generates in some parts of heart different from normal sinus rhythm. This generates that escaped beat that you feel. You have this sensation like a beat is skipping, you may experience palpitations or an anxiety sensation. This extrasistoles may happen from different reasons from simple emotional stress to other pathologies like anemia, hyperthyroidism, extreme weight change sect. So, my opinion as a cardiologist is that you have nothing to worry and you don't have reasons to precipitate your doctor appointment. If I was your treating doctor and If these symptoms are interfering your daily live I will recommend some examinations like a blood analysis to exclude anemia, the thyroid hormones, an electrocardiogram, echocardiography and of course a holder monitoring. This will help us to document and see what happens with heart rhythm. At meantime, I will recommend you to avoid coffee, caffeine products because they rise extrasistolic beats.
