Hi Doctor I have had to babies born prematurely and they both passed away shortly after giving birth. The obstetrician have confirmed that I have an incompetent cervix. Its coming on a year now that I lost my last baby, I have been trying to fall pregnant again but no luck. Prior to falling pregnant the first time my period was irregular and regulated for about 2years, in the last four months I have not had a period (I am not pregnant). Im in my early twenties, I do not smoke, I exercise regularly, eat healthy and have a normal bmi..should I be very concerned.


I had colon sectioning surgery last December and a week later went back to surgery for a small bowel obstruction.  My stomach was dying ; as air had backed up into it.  I had 3 surgeries to resolve my problem within a 2 week period.  Now almost a year later I am having terrible lower back and hip and lower stomach pain.  I think that it could be related, but am not sure.  Would having to cut the stomach muscles and operate so many times cause my sciatic nerve to get irritated?  I had a spinal for pain control.  I hurt really bad sometimes.  My lower abdomen has separated and I look like I have a backside in the front.  Can I do something to make this look better and what can I do about the pain?

He is 41 in good general health and a ex smoker.

I have a bump on my butt crack that is redish/purplish in color and it at first looked like a zit or bug bite, but it didn t seem like there was anything to pop. It itches only sometimes and the past 2 days it s been very sore to the touch. When I press on it I can now feel something inside of it but it hurts too much to try and pop it. I also noticed today when I went to the bathroom that there s this green slimy stuff that came out with my stool. I didn t notice it until I wiped, it looks a lot like snot only a little darker. The stool itself wasn t green, just this stuff. I m trying to figure out if I should be concerned or not.

Hello Doctor, I have an odd question. I was a U. S. Marine and while in the service I suffered an injury to my lower back. A very long story shortened, I would like to know why sleeping in my recliner alleviates most of the pain I feel compared to when I sleep in my bed. I have tried all kinds of mattresses from expensive to cheap and sleeping on a bed always kills my lower back upon wakening. Can you give me an explanation on why a recliner helps alleviate my back pain and if there could be any issues in the long run (other than a mad wife) lol. Thank you for your time. V/r, Jay

I woke up this morning and was washing my hair and felt a knot like bump on the bottom left side of the back of my head. I have been around a lot of sick people at work and then had sick kids last week. I rarely get sick (haven t been in 4 years).I ve been nervous all day, and with any medical symptoms research done online, I ve made myself a nervous wreck. I ve seen everything from a swollen lymph node from an infection or head cold to a tumor to cancer to HIV to cyst, etc.My neck is a little stiff and a bit foggy, I ve a bit tired, but otherwise feel fine. I think I ve got myself stressed to not feeling well more so than actually really not feeling well.Should I get in or see if a head cold develops? I m scared a bit, but not really - as I tend to think it s more a swollen lymph node. I swear it wasn t there Friday and not, as of Sunday morning, I noticed it. If it s a swollen lymph node, how long do they last and am I contagious right now?

Hi,I am feeling something stuck in my mouth while swallowing saliva for the past 2 weeks. I am able to eat well but I fear of cancer.. When I consulted the doctor, I had been told that it might be due to acid reflux and provided me ulgel-A, Pantocid (before food in the morning) an Phlogam/disperzyme/bidangen forte in the morning and night. Now I am feeling more saliva at mouth after starting to take ulgel from today morning.. Will this be a symptom of any cancer? Please reply.

hi... I fell over a few weeks ago and twisted my ankle and grazed/cut my right knee. everything cleared up except my knee. some swelling on the inside of the leg just below the knee. there wasn t any sort of pain. them last sunday it started to swell more and pain was felt directly under the knee when i stood. with waking this pain was very brief... couple of steps. now it is larger the swelling and there is associated dull pain as well as the severe pain when I stand up. I started putting ice packs on it and strapped it last night. unfortunately i started looking online and found inflamed synovial fluid... then inflamed bursa-bursitis and now I am alarmed. I had an X-ray last week and the report is no broken or fractures however the report did say .... mild degenerative changes seen in knee joint with mild degenerative osteoarthritis lipping. It is sunday and i am probably being a panic merchant. Any advice or immediate home remedy would be very much appreciated Thankyou, Linda


5 days ago....I tripped and fell, with my chin bone hitting a piece of angle iron (on a trailer)...with most of my weight behind it. It was, of course, extremely painful and left what looked like a cut, but never bled. Although it doesn t look that bad from the outside, barely bruised, it is still extrememly sensitive to the touch and now feels as though it has fever...this is probably 2 inches below my knew, with the blow being directly on my chin bone....should I be concerned...seems silly to go to the dr. for a bruise.

My 27 year old son living in another state had a cauliflower shaped golf sized cyst removed from the back of his scalp yesterday.  He said it was yellow-white in appearance.  From the outside before surgery, it looked to be the size of a quarter, was raised, red, and very tender to the touch.  It had come on in a weeks time.  Is this a cyst or a tumor -- any ideas?


I have a painful lump on my scrotum, just at the base of my penis. I think its an ingrown hair or a large pimple, but im not 100% positive. Is there something more sinister that I should worry about? There are no other symptoms present. Im 29 years old and married, with no reason to suspect an std. I dont have a picture to upload, but it just looks like a red lump roughly the size of a kidney bean. it is freely moveable, and it travels from the top of the scrotum to the bottom of the base of my penis when im erect. Its only particularly painful when I poke or squeeze it. I have no reason to suspect an STD, and Im 29 years old with no other health concerns, sans being overweight.


I have experienced gallbladder attacks off and on for the past couple years. So far the have been infrequent and until recently was not seen by a doctor for them. The last attack I experienced went on for many hours longer than usual, so I was seen by an urgent care physician. Unfortunately, I was not able to get in for an ultrasound until 3 1/2 days after the onset of the attack. I am still experiencing some pain 5 days later, but not as severe. The report shows that everything is normal except 2 large (1.7 cm) mobile gallstones present. Is it possible that there were further issues at the time of the attack that would not be visible on this ultrasound? What is the common treatment for this type of situation? Also, note that I am on the pill and suffer with IBS. I understand that these are risk factors for gallbladder disease.

My 3 month old breastfed girl was quite healthy and she was used to poop just one time per day until her aunt came to see us with her 4 month old son who had a mild diarrhea. 2 days later my little kid started to poop 8 to 10 times a day without any other symptom. I went to 2 doctors but they just prescribed zinc,AD vitamine, and folic acid and adviced me to wait while assuring me that she will get better by herself. Now after 18 days she just poops 4 to 5 times a day. Her poop is green and I saw a little mocus and a track of bright red blood on her diaper yesterday. We did a stool and urine test and the results indicated sever infection and blood in both, we decided to repeat it because we are not sure about the labs in here they are used to give wrong results without feeling any responsibility. My little baby is still lively, she gurgles, smiles,plays and feeds well without any other symptom, I m really worried and depressed what do you think, is she really sick? Thanks for your help Anita

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...Our family is starting to worry about my father. He is 73 and has become very emotional. He seems to cry at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it is something as simple as someone getting killed in a car wreck but yesterday my cousin (who we dont know very well as they live far away) miscarried and is in intensive care and he couldnt stop tearing all morning.  We had people scared enough that they thought something had happened to our immediate family. He had been like this once before and had gone on Testosterone and seemed to get better but then he stopped taking it.  He is taking it again but I dont know how much. Should he go to a doctor and what kind.  What questions do we need to ask? He is also very easily distracted and also has become very forgetful. We cant tell if this is partly because he has a radio in his ear a lot or if he just doesnt remember. Thank-you very much for helping, Bonnie


I have had diarrhea now for 8 weeks. I go between 5-8 times per day and its very loose and mucusy. I have been on codeine to help the diarrhea which helps and the mucus stops but recently i have been on antibiotics for 10 days for cystitis , my diarrhea worsened during this time. I finished the antibiotics yesterday and am waiting for my diarrhea to settle down again. I have had a colonoscopy , my colon is totally normal and there is nothing to worry about. I am a type two diabetic and have been for 4 years now. Can you shed any light on this and tell me if taking antibiotics would stop my codeine from being as effective?

I had back surgery last December 18, 2012 and was diagnosed with a enlarged S1 root nerve the surgeon went in to remove what appeared on a Mylogram and MRI a cyst but found out when he got in there that it was an enlarged root nerve he did not remove it because of the fear of leaving me with no feeling in certain parts of my legs and feet. He said he just made space for the root nerve in hope that it was just inflamed and would help if not my next option would be Mayo Clinic... well here it is May and all my pain has returned, just looking for some additional options. Thank You.


We have been trying for a baby for the last two years and not yet got success. My semen analysis report as follows


My daughter (22 months) has been having foul smelling grainy/ loose stool, about 3-4 times a day. A pimply like diaper rash has developed. She has been easily adjetated/ moody. She also has been having a hard time sleeping. Waking for 3-4 hours in the night.


I have had the Mirena for nearly 4 years now. I do not have periods. However, if I am very stressed out, I get horrible cramps and spot for a day or two. My concern, more, is that I have a clear, mucus , sticky discharge from my vagina . Comes out all times of day and night (I ve began to wear pantiliners because of this) and more recently, when I am using the toilet, quite a lot comes out. I ve read that mostly, this would occur during ovulation . But I am concerned/curious as to what is causing this and if I should be worried. There is no pain or itching, aside from occassional cramps that I have considered normal since I had the Mirena placed.


I am a 23 year old medical student from Europe. I saw a neurologist 3 weeks ago because of my fear of MS i MG. My reflexes are normal,no Babinski sign,bulbomotorics is fine.

I dont even know if my tounge really twitches or its normal movements since I never took the time to notice it.

Hello, Im a 30 yo Caucasian female with a pea sized lump over the right side of my hyoid bone. Its been there for several years, it gets sore and difficult to swallow food at times. I can move the hyoid back and forth. I can feel it grind but the pain subsides afterwards. Feels like its rubbing and caught on cartilage. Is this something I should be concerned about? The doctor said it was fine, but no one else I know has this issue..? They tested my thyroid and TSH levels, and all came back normal. Chem profile 2 and CBC also have come back normal. No X-Rays or anything else has been done to determine what it is. It has not grown, its just irritating and its a bit concerning that no one else has it, and it wont go away.

I have been experiencing asthma for the last two years. I was initially advised to take Seroflo for six months. While on the medication , I was fine, but after I stopped taking it, the asthma returned in a month and since then I have been using mainly Asthalin (for SOS). However, there are times when Asthalin stops working and I need to take Seroflo again for a month or so. Wanted to check if it is safe to use Seroflo for prolonged periods of time


I am a nurse and have a patient who is unsteady on his feet and having miniblackouts. He has ESKD and has been on dialysis for 10 years. The medications I am concerned about are Lyrica 75 mg nocte, oxycontin 30mg nocte and cialis 5mg. I think the issue may be the lyrica as he sometimes takes double the dose at night. Any suggestions on how to manage this? He has quite severe peripheral neuropathy and chronic pain. tks

I got hit with a baseball pitch in my hand. I went and got it checked out and got x-rays done and they said it was just a contusion. They allowed me to play as long as I could bare the pain, so I continued to play and just dealt with some bruising and swelling where I got hit. Now it s about a month later and I have a hard bump on my hand that feels like bone. It s right below the knuckle of my ring finger, but it doesn t hurt at all even when I press down as hard as I can on the bump. What could the bump be?

I have bad breadth since my childhood. Now i m 33 years old.I brush my teeth as many times as possible,clean my tongue,use mouthwash.I visited Dentists many times .But nothing helped.Pls help.


I awoke with a hard lump on the left side of my skull.  Approximately 2 1/2 inches from my left ear, and right at the base of my skull.Very hard to the touch.  Pain when touched is very sharp, like an electrical shock.The mass doesnt move or drift--also causing some irritating neck sensations.I ABSOLUTELY do not attribute this to a spider bite, or muscle pull of any kind.Has been 2 days now with no signs of any improvement.  Im not sick in any way, so an infected lymph node also seems doubtful, but I understand still a possibility.Wondering if a tumor can appear that fast?Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.  Ive done as much research and diagnosing as I could.  Next step obviously is med attention.  Thx 4 taking time to read this

For the last 2 weeks I have been having unknown origin seizures. They are on the verge of being grand mal seiures but also are what the doctors are considering tonic-clonic seizures. I do not remember anything about the seizure itself but can often times tell what is going on around me but just cannot respond to anything. My body is basically paralyzed to where I cannot move. I am so frustrated right now that I don t believe that anyone cares what is happening to me. I have been taken to the emergency room 4 times now in the last 2 weeks with these episodes. I was placed on Keppra, Klonopin and Dilantin along with taking Lyrica for my severe fibromyalgia . I have been seeing a doctor, whom I thought was a neurologist only to find out that he had only studied neurology , and they only thing he ever wants to give me is Percocet for the degenerative disc disease that I have. I am to the point now where nothing matters anymore. I understand that depression and stress can be factors in all of these symptoms but when I have been fighting them for over 2 years, it gets to the point where nothing matters!! Can you please make any suggestions to me on which other way to look as far as a diagnosis? They have ran cat scans and MRI which all show negative results. PLEASE, I am desperate at this point!

My daughter woke up yesterday with a rash all over her body and swelling in the area of her nose and eyes. Hospital told us its viral and that is her body s reaction to it. Today she has increased swelling in those areas, rash is still present. Has a runny nose - yellowish discharge. Itchy/no pain and no fever.

Hi Dr!I woke up 2 days ago and took a shower, after exiting the shower i rubbed the inside of my thigh on something and felt some pain. I looked down at it and it looked to be a white head zit with a red circle about 1inch in diameter around it. I popped the zit and 2 days later the red circular area is getting bigger. The red area is about 4 inches long and an 1 inch wide. It seems to be moving down my leg toward my knee. Im not sure if I got bite by something or not. I dont know if I should get medical help or not. The area around the white head that I popped is hard. How do I get rid of this?


My throat has been hurting for the past couple of days, and I went to the doctors because I thought I had strep throat but they tested a culture which said I didnt. I dont know what it could be because I have white patches on my left tonsil and it is all red and swollen. I also have bumps on the back (near my throat) of my tongue, and some on the left side near the back as well. The left side of my whole mouth has been hurting the most, and everything has just seemed to be swollen and irritated. It hurts to swallow almost everything and it prevents me from going outside and doing anything. I would really like to know what it is.

hi! my name is Aswin, studying in 12th class. i think i have some psychological problem. but i am not sure about it. Actually, my problem is that i use to imagine a lot, something about my life. Actually , its my hobby.Everyday i use to imagine about something. This has become a daily routine in my life. when i saw a movie i use to imagine such situations in my own life and create a new story. because of this i am facing a lot of problem. Like when i am imaging something very sad, i use to be emmotional, and happy in the case of a happy occasion in my imagination. Also i was having a girl friend but i was not so close with her due to some situations. But i was loving her sincerely.Even though she was not so close to me, when she left me i was felt so bad that i don t know what is just happening to me, idon t what to do and what i am feeling at that time. i think this is because i use to imagine a lot about her that a strong affection was created in me for her. when i discuss these with my friends, they told me that you are feeling this because may be i am having these type of experiences first time in my life. but its not the true i experiences these type of situations more than 5 times, as i was having many girl friend before. now, i want to conform whether i am having a psychic problem or not. so, please me.

dear doctor my son has just turned 4yrs old and for the past few months he has got very thin. His stools are always soft and sink to the bottom of the toilet, on occasion they are diahorea. He recently has complained of his bum being itchy and it is red. He is at nursery school and I know he is active and growing but has always had a good appetite and we would eat healthy home cooked meals, however the food in school is somewhat processed and I think at times he does not eat a lot of his dinner in school and this may be a contributing factor in the weight loss. Also about 2 weeks ago he seemed to be having bad nightmares, sweating/fever and his body was twitching a bit. He was like that for 3 nights running and then it stopped. he has night sweats regularly but this was more like a fever. I am concerned about his weight, and was wondering if you would have any advice, or would this give you an idication of any possible diagnosis?

I have a root canal and a crown on my lower right side. The crown just fell off for the 3rd time. I thought I had an absess, but now know that the bad taste was from bacteria between the loose crown. My dentist did an x-ray and say a pocket at the end of my tooth and said it was absessed, but it was never painful, so I didn t think it was. He sent me to an implant specialist who sent me to a root canal specialist. I have spent close to $10,000 on my mouth with root canals, crowns and cavities constantly. What is the worst case scenerio if I just pull the tooth? I fear my teeth shifting to the right, but I have a crown and root canal on my left lower tooth too, can I just pull both? my bottom teeth are crowded anyway.

My husband had an over exposure to OC Pepper Spray Fogger while working as Sergeant a prison. He can now descirbe his symptoms in more detail than when this happened. He had a brian injury with many lasting problems, neg mri/ct but lots of health issues. Loss of vision & hearing, right side weakness, etc... He now can say that when he was in this struggle with the inmate (in a Pepper Spray filled small wet shower 3handhelds 2 foggers) where sprayed, he stood up and felt like he was going to pass out, his sides felt like cement he said, like they wouldn t expand. He said his chest was tight, he pushed himself to finish with the inmate, he felt like he was going to throw up, and started spinning again, he was getting confused. To make a long story short, we are struggling to find a doctor who can undertand the toxic/anoxic effects of this stuff, he has over the 9 yr carreer been exposed countless times. This time he nearly died, he became unconcious shortly after. Could he have suffered anaphylactic shock??? His face and lips were red and swollen, bottom lip drooped.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I am 19 years old. 5 6 height, about 144 in weight and I take dance class and long walks plus, I do like eating healthy. What I m going to tell you is what I think is wrong with me but you may prove me wrong and give me a better answer so here I go. First off, I have to start off with my first problem, I have Brachial plexus injury in my left arm due to the fact that my doctor pulled me out of my mother s womb when he should of done a c-section. Always he ripped my shoulder tearing a nerve cause me to lose control in my arm. Due to great parent, the worked with my arm so by the age of two I regained control of my left arm again. Though I can only half feel in my arm and half control my arm, I m not that mad about it. However, this is where your going to think I m weird, but please continue to follow with me. Due to being sick for a while I went to a doctor to get some meds. (I did get better but not with the doctors meds just to let you know) Anyways, this doctor, not my normal family doctor,(he was on vacation) keep asking about my period every time I came back to the doctor about the meds. (Big thing is I ve always had a tough time with my period, I was on birth control when I was in grade 9 to help with the heavy cramps and pains during my period, however I ve always had one period that s fine and one that is late over and over again, I never know when I m going to have it. It could be a few days or 2 to 3 weeks after it s due.) So the doctor ask me if my period has started and I told him no, cause this was the one that was always late. So after going to the doctors three times, he gives me the birth control pills for 3 months to take without taking any breaks between them. I m on my 2nd one of the 3 and I am leaking old period stuff. WhicChatDoctores to the place where your going to think I m strange, I have less control over the whole left side of my body from my head to my left foot . I can do grab and shake faster with my right side then my left side. Example

Hello. I m 30 years old, 1.67m tall and weight 71Kg. During the last 4 years, I started to drink daily; the last 2 years I ve been drinking the equivalent of 2 liters of beer (5% alcohol) per day and also take alprazolam due to physical dependence (I had a depression and that was one of the meds I was prescribed). I measured today my ALT and GGP values and they were 54 and 144 respectively. I decided to stop drinking alcohol altogether. Even taking benzodiazepines, can I expect to see those values decrease to a normal level with alcohol abstinence? Thank you very much in advance.

My 16 year old daughter her wisdom teeth removed today. She has developed a very mild rash on her arm above the site where the iv line was placed. Is this related to the iv or an allergic reaction to her painkiller (Vicodin) or antibiotic medication (amoxicillin). I m mostly worried about the latter as the presented after the first antibiotic dose and spread a little following the second one.


Good evening Doctor, I have a question regarding the clinic/dermatologist in Dubai? I have faced the hair loss problem and I would like to know the reason. My hair falls with black ends at the the root-foliculs, which means it will not grow any more. I know I have a low iron in my blood and my hemoglobin is 76. Can it be the reason? Can you also suggest me a good dermatologist in Dubai?
