<s>[INST] Brown spot on the knee. Diagnosed as Benign. Prescribed to get a Biopsy. Serious? [/INST] Hello! Thank you for the query. No doctor is able to tell if the mole is benign or malignant without removing it and sending for histopathology. Dermatologist are able to establish if the mole is in high risk of melanoma malignum. It can be done with dermatoscope. But the final diagnose can be set only when you do remove it and check for cancer cells under the microscope. If the mole changes its size, color, gets painful, redness appears around, gets more prominent, the verges are uneven, the mole is suspicious and should be removed. Otherwise, it should be left alone. Hope this will help. Regards. </s> |

<s>[INST] Does yellow in the eyes,shoulder pain and mood swings indicate liver disease? [/INST] Hi, The only way to find out for sure is to get tested. If you do have jaundice then your urine should be discolored as well. Jaundice causes brandy-like (brownish) urine discoloration. Sometimes the stool may have a pale color resembling clay. A doctor may evaluate the clinical signs and decide whether testing is necessary. If you do get tested, the most crucial test is serum bilirubin (direct and total). Pain in the back is too broad to draw any conclusions. More information is required like when it occurs, how long does it last, whether there is anything that makes it better or worse, etc. Clinical assessment is of unprecedented value for this symptom. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis, Internal Medicine Specialist </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Can I take Norethisterone after taking I-pill to delay periods? [/INST] Hello. You have to understand that I-pill is a high dose Progesterone pill, much stronger than Norethisterone. So, if your aim is to avoid pregnancy then you have to wait for the withdrawal bleeding for the endometrium to be shed out to confirm pregnancy safety. Your menses if were due in the next two days, then they are naturally likely to be delayed because of I-pill intake by about 4 to 5 days because of high Progesterone content. If you intend to delay menses and at the same time ensure pregnancy safety together then it would be difficult to ensure any pregnancy safety, because if you get pregnant then this Norethisterone would further support the pregnancy and not prevent it. The I-pill increases tubal motility and hence if Progesterone is not withdrawn, as after its single dose, pregnancy may happen and I-pill may fail. So ideally wait for your menses now within next seven days and if the bleeding is heavy then you may take antifibrinolytics to reduce the bleeding but do not delay it this time, for pregnancy safety takes an upper hand over your intended delay of menses. </s> |

<s>[INST] Suggest treatment for ADHD and diabetes [/INST] I am sorry to hear about this behavior I can understand it must be distressing to you and your daughters. It is important to assess whether he was in the right frame of mind when this behavior occurred. ADHD is usually not the cause for this. Possibly he may have been in low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) wherein his consciousness and judgment may have been clouded and hence he exhibited this disinhibited act, but there is no definitive explanation for this.Regarding the ADHD he must visit a professional psychiatrist or counselor and gauge how to maintain his focus and attention. With regards to the diabetes you must have a regular follow up with the endocrinologist and see whether his blood sugar has been controlled and whether he has ever had other times of altered judgment. If the behavior is absolutely unrelated to the diabetes, then you have even greater reason to visit a mental health professional to look into this.

<s>[INST] Feeling dizzy suddenly while standing up [/INST] Hello!Welcome on HCM!Your symptoms seem to be related to orthostatic hypotension. I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure in sitting and then after 3 minutes of standing up position. If there is a decrease more than 20 mmHg of your systolic blood pressure and more than 10mm Hg in the diastolic blood pressure this would indicate orthostatic hypotension. In such case a Head Up tilt test would be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Other lab tests would help exclude other possible causes that may trigger this situation: - complete blood count for anemia- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Aida </s> |

All the symptoms you described could be due to anxiety disorder per se and not because of medicines as they are out of your system now.

Remember, every problem has a solution. You just need to try solving it and help is just a step away. For more information consult a psychiatrist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. What is the relation between lead poisoning and heart problems? [/INST] Hello. It saddens me to hear of the whole difficulties you have gone through in the past years. I must recommend you for staying strong in the face of all these difficulties. I have thoroughly gone through all your detailed explanation and here is my view. Although I have not had clinical experience of a patient with such complications, I have thoroughly researched to find enough evidence to bring me to the conclusion that lead poisoning can lead to heart diseases and stroke, but no much evidence of asbestos causing cardiovascular diseases. These below are my findings. 1. In a study that involved 60,000 participants, it was concluded that lead poisoning was associated with cardiovascular events. Most commonly but not limited to hypertension, especially in lead blood levels below 5 μg/dL. 2. Another article also detailed the complications of lead poisoning to the cardiovascular system, although the mechanism is unknown. 3. A study by the Harvard school of public health (HSPH) also detailed the effects of bone lead to increase cardiovascular complications. In my conclusion, there is more than 50% chance of a cardiovascular complication due to lead poisoning. Although they might argue the fact that only a few cases have been reported. I feel strongly that more than 50% of it caused your heart complications. Your level of lead exposure will help your case. </s> |
<s>[INST] Suggest treatment for gallbladder stones [/INST] Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.In most cases, treatment of gallstones is considered necessary only if you are having symptoms. Of the various conventional treatments that are available, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the most widely used. Some alternative treatments have also been found to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of troublesome gallstones.When deciding what course of action to take for symptomatic gallstones, doctors usually choose from among three main treatment options: Watchful waiting, nonsurgical therapy, and surgical removal of the gallbladder.Though a gallstone episode can be extremely painful or frightening, almost a third to half of all people who experience an attack never have a recurrence. In some cases, the stone dissolves or becomes dislodged and thereby resumes its "silence." Because the problem may solve itself without intervention, many doctors take a wait-and-see approach following the initial episode.I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. </s> |

I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation.
