Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would recommend taking a statin (atorvastatin, simvastatin, etc.) and daily aspirin 80\u00a0mg, to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis and prevent for possible ischemic events. From the other hand, I would recommend periodically scheduled follow-ups with ultrasound every 12 months and routing check up (blood lipid profile, resting ECG, chest X-ray study and further lab tests) every 6 months. It is important avoiding possible risk factors

i HAVE A 9 YR OLD SON WHO IS DISRUPTIVE IN CLASS. THE TEACHR SAYS HE DOESNT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND SEEMS LIKE HE SPACY OR NO THERE AND DOESNT FOCUS. HES BEEN TALKED TO, HAD THINGS TAKEN AWAY & PUNISHED. WE DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, PLEASE HELP. HES A VERY SMART BOY .
|
Hi, I can understand your concern for your son. From your description, it seems that your son has some behavioral problems which includes hyperactivity and inattention. More details regarding his behavior will be required like how does he remain at home to make a confirmation diagnosis. In any case, punishment is not the way to take care of his problem. The best way out will be to seek a psychiatric consultation for him. In case he is diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), he will need treatment with stimulants like methylphenidate. In addition, behavior therapy measures like token economy will be useful for him. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.

Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorI understand your concern. Your symptoms are suggestive that you are suffering from Tina corporal infection. It is a superficial fungal infection of the arms and legs. However, it may occur on any part of the body. It is caused by a tiny fungus known as dermatophyte. They usually thrive in the wet and moist areas. So.I would advise you to use topical antifungal medications likeclotrimazole, ketoconazole or fluconazole for twice a day for at least 3 weeks. Along with this take oral antifungal medications like itraconazole for 7 days. Also keep these ares Chat Doctor. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you

I have been having constant pins and needles in my right leg which have now developed into cramp like pains, ive also noticed many bruises down my right thigh/ leg. Ive also been having lower back pain. I had spinal surgery on 2 discs in my lower back a number of years ago.
|
Low back pain and pins and needle sensation in the leg may due to disc prolapse or spinal canal stenosis. Complete bed rest for a certain period of time is the initial mode of treatment in low back pain. Pain can be controlled by medication, exercise, weight reduction, lifestyle modification etc. take paracetamol 1 gm twice or thrice daily as required initially for some days. Have an MRI of LS spine done to diagnose spine problem. Bruises in the leg, I feel, is probably due to some other cause. There are many reasons of purpura.

hello doctor. i have a warm sensation every now and again on the outside of my right leg it goes away after a few seconds i had this about 2 years ago on my right leg . i do have a sciatica problem and thats causes my leg and back to ache. not sure if it is connected. hope you can help me on this. thank you sue.
|
Hi, Yes this is connected to sciatica. As the nerve carries two function - sensory and motor. When motor is involved there is weakness. When sensory is involved you will have touch, temperature, pain etc. as symptoms. The change in feeling of the hot and cold sensation is carried by nerve and so as you mentioned you had sciatica than it is one of the reason. Kindly do regular exercise which you may have been doing in past for your sciatica. Symptoms should subside sooner. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi I have a daughter that is 11 months she has only two teeth growing in at the bottom but I noticed at the top of her gums right above the bottom teeth I see a little cut or a bruise then I started checking the gums on the too and they kinda look weird to me I dnt know what to do
|
Hello, I can understand your concern. When a tooth is erupting into oral cavity, the gum over the tooth becomes red, inflamed and swollen. It also becomes slightly sore making the child irritated and annoyed. The gum that you are explaining seems cut as the tooth is erupting through the cut and the gums looks weird because the teeth are still erupting. Once the eruption will be complete, the gum and teeth will resume normal appearance. The child may stick out tongue often and can also produce lots of saliva and Chat Doctor.

Hi, I think your follicles are growing at a slow rate. But it happens sometimes. If you have not taken any medication for increasing growth of your eggs then next time try some medicines like camphene for that. It may help you. If your eggs become more than 17 mm this cycle, then there is a good chance of getting pregnant. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.

Hi, I m always thirsty during the night. I keep a glass of water by my bedside &easily go through 3 glasses. I keep having to go to the toilet to pee a lot as well, it s really bad at night and keeps me awake for hours. Also I sometimes feel out of breath a lot &recently I ve been getting sharp stomachs pains. What can be causing this? Thanks.
|
Hi there, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Increased thirst and increased urination especially in the night could be signs of diabetes mellitus. You need to check your blood glucose levels to rule out diabetes mellitus. There are many causes for abdominal pain. With symptoms suggestive of diabetes mellitus, this abdominal pain could be due to urinary tract infection. This infection can also explain increased need to urinate. Urinalysis may be done to confirm it. So as first step, get your blood glucose level checked and get an urinalysis done. Is this answer helpful?

What is the mode of inheritance for galactokinase deficiency?
|
Galactokinase deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to be affected by the condition. With autosomal recessive inheritance, there is a 25% chance that the child of two carriers will inherit two copies of the mutated gene and develop the condition. Galactokinase deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to process galactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. This can lead to cataracts in the eyes, liver damage, and other symptoms if left untreated.

What is the tonicity of pancreatic secretions in relation to plasma, and does this change with flow rate?
|
Pancreatic secretions are an important component of the digestive process, and they are produced by the pancreas in response to food intake. These secretions contain a variety of enzymes and other substances that help break down food in the small intestine. One important characteristic of pancreatic secretions is their tonicity, or the concentration of solutes relative to plasma. It has been found that pancreatic secretions are iso-tonic relative to plasma, regardless of flow rate. This means that the concentration of solutes in pancreatic secretions is the same as that in plasma, which helps to ensure that the body can absorb nutrients from the small intestine without any disruption to fluid balance. The iso-tonicity of pancreatic secretions is maintained by a variety of mechanisms, including the regulation of ion transport across the epithelium of the pancreatic ducts.

Hello! Thank you for the query. Generally alcohol is known to cause gastrointestinal issues including stomach pain (upper middle pain), lower abdominal pain and diarrhea (due to intestines irritation) and in some rare cases, also acute pancreatitis (upper OD middle abdominal pain with back pain). As pain itself is very nonspecific symptom, It's hard to tell what exactly has happened. That is why I suggest you to visit your doctor and have some basic tests like abdominal ultrasound, blood work, liver tests, pancreas tests and urinalysis. Hope this will help. Regards.

HelloThanks for asking query on Chat Doctor. Don't get confused. I assume you have been told to have chronic hepatitis C based on Anti HCV positive report, which is usually a screening test. To confirm and to guide treatment plan you need to undergo HCV genotype and viral load, which will tell the doctor, what is the level of virus in your blood and also tell what type it is.

In cases of ectopic pregnancy, where is the most common site of implantation?
|
The most common site of implantation for ectopic pregnancy is the fallopian tube, specifically the ampulla. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. The ampulla is the widest and most common part of the fallopian tube for implantation to occur. However, ectopic pregnancies can also occur in other locations, such as the ovary, cervix, or abdominal cavity. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious medical condition that requires prompt treatment, as it can lead to life-threatening complications such as internal bleeding. Treatment may involve medication to dissolve the pregnancy or surgery to remove the affected fallopian tube.

Could the memory loss be related to his current situation?

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Surgery for hemorrhoids generally doesn't leads to memory loss. It is not related to your current illness.

How do proteasomal inhibitors work as antineoplastics and at which phase of the cell cycle do they inhibit cell cycle progression?
|
Proteasomal inhibitors, also known as "-zomibs", are a class of antineoplastic drugs that work by blocking the activity of the proteasome, a cellular structure that is responsible for degrading proteins. In cancer cells, proteasomal inhibitors can disrupt the normal functioning of the cell cycle and prevent the cancer cells from dividing and proliferating. Specifically, proteasomal inhibitors inhibit cell cycle progression at the G2-M phase, which is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares to divide. By blocking this phase of the cell cycle, proteasomal inhibitors can prevent cancer cells from dividing and potentially promote cancer cell death. However, proteasomal inhibitors can have significant side effects and must be used carefully under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

The last couple years I seem to be ill having more and more incidences of teeth, joint, swelling general aches and pains. I don t understand why. Example, last month I have had ankle swell painful, bad pinch nerve in neck and just on Tuesday dad to have tooth pulled cause it dead. Could drinking coke zero cause any of this? I can t think of anything else done differently past 5 years. It seems like once a week I have to stay home from work because of some issue. Why do I keep getting these things happen? Please help! Thanks for your time!

Hello, The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. And if it is ALL small joints it would certainly imply an overall inflammatory process and if it is ONE joint then either gout, infection, or doing something bad to the joint mechanically. Coke zero isn't going to cause this. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi, It seems that due to having your local scrotal problem you are disappointed. There might be having some local scrotal skin problem like fungal infection or dermatitis and this can be treated very well. The problems you think are due to psychological upset of having serious problem with your genitals. Consult dermatologist and get examined. Afterwards with proper treatment you will be alright.

Hello, I understand how you are feeling. It could be scary to have a feeling of a fast heartbeat. It is normal for the heart to beat fast after physical activity. As much as exercising is good, you should avoid over stretching the limit your body can go If for example you usually run 400 meters, it is better to gradually ascend to 500 or 600 meters before getting to 800 meters this way you can avoid injury and exhaustion.

What is the likely diagnosis in a patient who had pharyngitis and impetigo recently and now presents with RBC casts in the urine?
|
A patient who had pharyngitis and impetigo recently and now has RBC casts in the urine may be experiencing post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. This is a type of kidney disease that can occur as a result of a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or impetigo. The infection triggers an immune response that can cause inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, which are the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste products from the blood. This can lead to hematuria, proteinuria, and other symptoms such as hypertension and edema. Treatment for post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis may involve medications to manage symptoms and prevent complications, as well as antibiotics to treat the underlying infection. In most cases, the condition resolves on its own within a few weeks to a few months.

What is the most important factor that affects the prognosis of astrocytoma?
|
The most important factor that affects the prognosis of astrocytoma is the tumor grade. Astrocytomas are a type of brain tumor that can range from low-grade tumors, which are slow-growing and often treatable, to high-grade tumors, which are aggressive and difficult to treat. The tumor grade is determined by the appearance of the tumor cells under a microscope and is a measure of how abnormal the cells look and how quickly they are dividing. Higher-grade tumors are associated with a poorer prognosis, as they are more likely to grow and spread quickly and are less responsive to treatment. Understanding the importance of tumor grade in the prognosis of astrocytoma is important for guiding treatment decisions and improving outcomes for individuals with this type of brain tumor.

What is the relationship between clear cell renal carcinoma and renal cysts?
|
Clear cell renal carcinoma is a type of kidney cancer that is often preceded by the formation of multiple renal cysts. These cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the kidneys and are usually benign. However, in some cases, they can become cancerous and lead to the development of clear cell renal carcinoma. It is important to note that not all renal cysts will progress to cancer, and many people with renal cysts will never develop clear cell renal carcinoma. However, individuals who have a family history of kidney cancer or who have been diagnosed with renal cysts should be monitored closely by a healthcare provider to detect any changes or signs of cancer early on.

Hi my dad was just diagonised with prostate cancer ....His psa was 4 last year and it jumped up to 9 this year...A biopsy was done 5 of the 12 core came back with a posiitve result...my dad has a small prostate...the doctor has recommended surgery. My dad is 62 very healthy and has had no problems intil now...Is surgery the best option?
|
Your dad can undergo surgical removal of the prostate, or prostatectomy, which is a common treatment either for early stage prostate cancer or for cancer that has failed to respond to radiation therapy. The most common type is radical retropubic prostatectomy, when the surgeon removes the prostate through an abdominal incision. Another type is radical perineal prostatectomy, when the surgeon removes the prostate through an incision in the perineum, the skin between the scrotum and anus. Radical prostatectomy can also be performed laparoscopically, through a series of small (1 cm) incisions in the abdomen, with or without the assistance of a surgical robot. Regards and take care

Hello, It seems that you have developed an abdominal muscle strain. It may have been caused because of excessive strain on the abdominal muscles due to the planks you have performed. I would advise you to apply ice pack on the affected area to reduce the inflammation. Also, alternate it with applying heat to help in muscle relaxation. Take an over the counter painkiller like Advil or Naproxen Chat Doctor. After you recover from the pain you can perform abdominal muscle strengthening exercises like curl-ups and pelvic tilts which are good muscle therapies.

What are the recommended screening modalities for breast cancer for patients with normal risk and high risk, respectively?
|
For patients with normal risk, mammography is the recommended screening modality for breast cancer. Mammography is a low-dose X-ray that can detect abnormalities in breast tissue, such as lumps or calcifications, that may indicate cancer. For patients with high risk, such as those with a family history of breast cancer or who have received radiation therapy to the chest, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is the recommended screening modality. MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the breast tissue, which can help detect cancer at an early stage when it is most treatable. In addition to mammography and MRI, other screening modalities such as ultrasound and clinical breast exams may also be recommended for certain patients based on their individual risk factors.

Hello, The ultrasound indicates you have hernia on the left side (your bowel portion is coming inside your scrotum). In most cases, it needs surgery. Minimum HY Chat Doctor. You need to observe if the testes increase in size. Otherwise, nothing is needed. The \"solid nodule\" is probably small spermatocyte.

I have a pituitary tumor and in the process of consulting with neuro-surgeons regarding its removal. I feel a moderate amount of pressure, especially at bedtime, on the top and front left-side of my head. Will percocet reduce the inflammation and pressure I believe this tumor is causing until Im able to go in for surgery?
|
HI Thanks for posting your query. Percent contains Oxycodone which is a narcotic painkiller. It has no anti-inflammatory properties and will not help in reducing the inflammation. But due to its analgesic effect you may feel relief from pressure in head. (But sometimes it can worsen the feeling of heaviness in head). Percent also contains Paracetamol which has mild anti-inflammatory effect but I don't think it also is any use to you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The lump can be because of the inflammation secondary to the extraction. If any bone cutting has been done or any damage to the lymphatics can cause swelling over the gums or cheek region. Nothing to be panic, take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and, metronidazole(if you are not allergic). You can also take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

When my baby was 6 months old, he got a tiny pink spot on his forehead that slowly got slightly raised, and very red. He is now 17 months and I went to the Dr s who told me it was a blood spot (which she said was similar to a strawberry birthmark, which I thought disapeared around 6 months, not appeared) she said blood spots in babies are very common and completely safe. But i ve read that they are common in over 40 s, and may turn into something serious. If it is a blood spot, what causes them? Is it a trauma of some sort? Thank you

My husband has elevated liver enzymes and now has pain in his liver area on his back side. He can feel the pain in the front when you push on his back. His doctor just took him off his cholesterol medicine thinking that this will lower his enzyme levels. What can cause this?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. Elevated liver enzymes can occur in a number of different conditions like viral infections, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic liver disease, autoimmune diseases, certain medications and toxins. Yes the medications taken to control cholesterol which is called statins is one of the common cause of elevated liver enzymes. His doctor did the right thing by stopping it. But tests should also be done to rule out the above-mentioned causes. I hope that answers your question. Regards.

What are the common symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) commonly presents with urgency, which is an intense feeling to void, and increased frequency of micturition, which is the need to urinate more often than usual. These symptoms are caused by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can put pressure on the urethra and affect the flow of urine. Other symptoms of BPH may include weak urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and the feeling that the bladder is not completely empty after urination. BPH is a common condition in older men and can often be managed with medications or other treatments.

Hi I am enquiring about my 10 year old who woke crying last night with abdominal pain and pain in the lower right side, she was already admitted to hospital in May with something very similar but they found nothing even though she had been passing out and all, I am quite worried about her but they have ruled out celiac and appendix, what else should I be looking for do you think
|
Dear madam, celiac disease isn't actually the first thing to think about. Did she have some other symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting? There are many causes of abdominal pain at this age, but the most common are abdominal cramps, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, gastritis, intussusception, food allergies, pyelonephritis, Gynecological, Referred pain. If it already happened as you said than she should do detail work up including some imaging tests such as US or CT scan. You should check that there is no some particularly food that trigger this pain. Wish you good health,
