Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician/ Neurologist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint and presentation of symptoms it seems your father is suffering from ORAL SUB MUCOUS FIBROSIS [OSF] which is caused commonly due to tobacco chewing habit or in chronic betel nut chewers. It leads to reduced mouth opening due to formation of thick fibrous bands inside the cheek mucosa leading to stiffening. There is also burning sensation over the cheeks even on taking less spicy food due to atrophy [thinning] of the buccal mucosa. Improvement in case of OSF to tell you frankly is uncertain and there can be slight improvement to no improvement at all. You should consult an Oral Physician and get him evaluated so that he can rule out the exact condition of your father and treat him accordingly. The physician can advise him to take another course of steroid injections along with adding HYLURONIDASE as hyluronidase helps in breaking of the fibers. Topical application of steroid ointment and hyluronidase ointment can help. A numbing gel containing Lidocaine can be applied over the inner cheeks especially during eating to prevent burning and pain. Mouth opening exercises can also be demonstrated that has to be done 3 to 4 times a day. In case if he has any alphabet of smoking, chewing tobacco or betel nut etc. it has to be completely stopped. In case if there is no improvement surgical approach can be planned to break the fibers, but it can be decided only after thorough clinical evaluation and medical history of patient. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .

Treatment of tongue cancer stage 3 presurgery should be considered for locally advanced disease; however, definitive radiation therapy, concurrent chemoradiation, and induction therapy are alternative options for patients who are not candidates for surgery The decision to treat the patient with concurrent chemoradiation therapy rather than surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy individually should be made by a multidisciplinary tumor board.

A canker sore can be triggered due to high stress, long periods of acid reflux disease or just some tooth edge trauma. If you have a fever with a swollen lymph node then it is an indication for active infection. Otherwise, sometimes a swollen lymph node is just the body fighting off some insect bite on the area of Chat Doctor. If your tonsils are painful, or you have difficulty swallowing then you should see a doctor who would examine you and take appropriate action like putting you on antibiotics. Otherwise, you can wait it out and let the tonsils recede on its own. Thank you for your query

Dear Ma'am, Sorry to hear about your husbands condition. Considering that he is suffering from metastatic renal cancer, the presence of hypodense lesions in the liver can be suggestive of cancer. The only way to confirm this would be by doing a PET scan or a USG guided biopsy (which is not required because he already has Mets in the lungs). I hope he is receiving treatment for the metastatic disease. Hoping for the best.

Hi, How are you? 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. In your case, it appears to be a simple cyst (based on what you have written). Although mostly asymptomatic, simple cysts can also produce symptoms when 1) they enlarge to a big size 2) when there is bleeding into the cyst or 3) when they develop an infection in the cyst. In your case, none of these symptoms exist. Since the cyst is small, I would recommend a followup scan at a later date to see if the cyst is enlarging. Hope this helps and hope you start to fell better soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details - [email protected]

Hi. Because of many unethical procedures govt has laid strict guidelines in choosing donor for kidney donation. And each state has different protocols followed. As for as I know unrelated transplant is done in few places in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. But it as to be unequivocally proved that kidney donation is only by altruistic purpose. Cost of procedure varies from hospital to hospital. Approximately it will cost you anywhere between 3lac to 10 lac. For documents, once you chose the hospital, they will guide you further.

Hello what, and I hope I can help you today. The contraceptive implant is actually one of the most effective birth control methods available, and has a lower failure rate than even sterilization. Unfortunately, it is also very common to have irregular bleeding, mood changes, food cravings, and weight gain as a side effect of the hormones in the implant. So just in case, I would perform a urine pregnancy test to make sure that you are not pregnant, however the most likely explanation for your symptoms is general side effects from the hormones in the implant. Most people eventually stop menstruating completely with the implant and have minimal hormonal changes, but this may take 6 to 9 months to develop. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having accessory rib. And this can cause chest pain and pressure. So better to apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Try all these in your day-to-day life. You will mostly improve. But if you don't improve then surgical removal of that rib is the only option. So better to first try above-mentioned nonsurgical measures. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Thank you for the question, and thank you for visiting our site. When you have intercourse, there is bumping of the cervix. The cervix is very prone to small amounts of bleeding. This blood, after intercourse, can make its way out as a brownish discharge. Given the strong association of this discharge with intercourse, I believe that my answer is the most likely. It is never wrong to consider a visit with an OB/GUN to perform an exam and confirm that everything is otherwise normal and that there is no concern regarding infection. I hope that this helps and good luck!

Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and understand your concern. 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. I encourage you to have physical training because sometimes it helps in reducing extrasistoles, tachycardia, even making them disappear. Wish I was helpful. Take good care. Best regards

Hi, I think it is normal for the semen to come out of vagina after contact. This will not prevent pregnancy, because sperms can swim up into the uterus even if it is in contact with your vagina for few minutes. Lie down after contact for 10 to 15 minutes. Lets tablets help in the growth of your follicles and induce ovulation. So, it increases the chance of pregnancy. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound or ovulation detection kits. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray to rule out chest infection. Since you are on antibiotics but not improving, lower respiratory tract infection (LETI) should be ruled out in your case. And LETI is very common after viral upper Respiratory tract infection (URI). So get done chest x-ray. Ifon x-ray, infiltration or consolidation is present then get done sputum culture and sensitivity to guide antibiotic therapy. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.

Hi I am Chat Doctor. . From your given history your swelling could be due to an old trauma, cardiac or renal problems. If your edema is bilateral this is a sign of underlying systemic disease if cardiac output exceeds its output (heart failure) or your kidneys cannot wash or flush your venous system .in rare cases your medication may cause such symptoms if used for long periods. You have to maintain leg elevation, avoid standing or bending your knees for a long time and use hot foments with topical gels of anti-inflammatory.wearing compression stockings will be helpful to push up blood towards the heart and increase your venous return. If you have not examined your arterial system by Doppler U/S you may need to check them up in very rare cases arterial system clots or atherosclerosis may occur and cause such edema. I recommend full lab investigations and follow them up with your physician for proper evaluation and management of the exact underlying cause.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns today. Nordette can be used as emergency contraception. You have taken them correctly. When used within 5 days of unprotected sex it reduces your chances of conception by 75%. There is a slim possibility of pregnancy due to method failure. Therefore, get a pregnancy test done if you miss your period. In order to avoid such unnecessary stress, I suggest that you consult doctor and start regular contraception like birth control pills. They are more effective in preventing pregnancy than emergency contraception. If you feel that you are at risk of STDs, always use condoms during sex. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, contact me through Chat Doctor. Best wishes,
