Hello, My husband is taking Oxycodone due to a broken leg/surgery. He has been taking this pain medication for one month. We are trying to conceive our second baby. Will this medication afect the fetus? Or the health of the baby? Or can it bring birth defects? Thank you. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, and I hope I can help you today.First, there is no medication that can be taken by the father that has any way to get into your system or a baby if you conceive. Medications can only affect a fetus if you take it while pregnant. The only issue is that certain medications may decrease a men sperm count and affect fertility, however pain medications like Oxycodone do not have this effect. So there is no reason for you to worry about conceiving while taking this medication. The best way you can prepare for a healthy pregnancy is to follow a well-balanced diet, limit alcohol consumption and avoid cigarette smoke, and take a daily prenatal vitamin or folic acid, as folic acid supplements in early pregnancy helps to prevent certain types of birth defects. I hope this answers your question and best wishes for your upcoming pregnancy, |

You have not provided your age on the details. I would have been able to help u better had you mentioned your age. You have complaints of chest pain radiating to back with strong family history. So in your case it is better that we evaluate you for presence of heart disease. I recommend an ECG and 2d echo initially.

This will show if the heart blood supply suffers while you are exercising which indirectly predicts whether you have blockages in your heart. Please do the above tests and revert. Wishing you good healthRegards. |

Isn t it true that sharp pain in one s right shoulder could indicate parasites in the small and/or large intestines (i.e. amoebic dysentery) which could be seen by the host (amoebic cysts and trophozoites...all stages of development) in one s stool, cause bloating, gas, stomach distention, terrible abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation and progressively get worse if not treated with the appropriate antibiotics and eventually cause the death of the host? Fact or Fiction: Amoebic dysentery has been eradicated in North America. Amoeba and trophozoites cannot be seen by the naked eye. Amoeba generally float on top of the toilet water, easily visible. Standard O&P lab tests cannot detect amoebas and trophozoites. The infected stool must be submitted to a lab that has the special equipment and appropriately trained personnel in order to detect amoebic dysentery disease. Two or more antibiotics will be necessary to eliminate such parasites; long term if the host has been infected over a long period of time. Thank you, Edward DeBusman | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, There is no direct relationship between intestinal infection and shoulder pain. Reasons for both are entirely different.

hi,,,,,i am 32 years old woman....trying to conceive from last 1 year.....got the follicular study done couple of times and was found ok....now my doc has referred me for iui....please let me know what could be the reason for not conceiving after every thing being normal.... my hsg test was also normal.. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. Among couples trying for pregnancy, 80% of them conceive in the first year and 90% by the end of second year. So don't be worried. You will conceive. Since your doctor has already started treatment I presume that all baseline infertility investigations including semen analysis are normal. Then this is called as unexplained infertility. The cause cannot be found with available investigations. What your doctor has done is right step. Have GUI after induction of ovulation with Gonadotrophin. You can have 3-4 cycles of GUI. I hope and pray you conceive with the help of GUI. If you do not get pregnant with this treatment, the next option would be IVF (in vitro fertilization). I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, do contact me through Chat Doctor. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week. I hope this is helpful. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor. |

I am 18 years old. I got my period on October 15th and had unprotected sex on October 27th. On October 28th I took plan b. I am on birth control but took it at different times (within a few hours) the few days leading up to October 27th. (8 pm one day, 11:30 pm the next day, and 10 pm the next day) so I was very nervous and took the pill especially because it was around the time Im supposed to be ovulating. Then, I had unprotected sex on November 1st really late at night and the day before that I took my birth control 3 hours later than I normally do.

I have been dealing with kidney stones since 1979. Recently I was in the emergency for pain from a kidney stone blockage. The ER doc ordered a CT scan to confirm the stone. When the results came back he informed me that I had stones in my liver and my spleen . My questions are: What causes spleen and liver stones; and is any treatment advised? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Linda, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Since you have stones in the kidney, liver and spleen, you will need to do thyroid function tests to rule out hypercalcinosis, which is a condition in which there is above normal levels of calcium in the blood, which can lead to stone formation in various organs. If hypercalcinosis is detected, then it will need to be treated. Liver and spleen stones don't need to be treated. If there are stones in the Gall Bladder and if they are causing problem, then surgical removal of gall bladder is required. Wish you all the best. |

I break out after taking a shower, sweating, and swimming.

You get disease free.2 get a definite diagnosis. So please go ahead with the excision-removal. |
I had a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with the beginning of stomach ulcers , I was put onto a 2 week course of antibiotics (Moxypen & Klarithran) which I m still taking as well as Topzole, for the last 3 days I have had severe swelling of my ankles and feet and even my eyelids are swollen and I feel flushed all the time, could there be a relation between the symptoms and the medication?? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. The swelling you have in the ankles, feet and around the eyelids is not related to the stomach ulcers or the medications you take.

My mother is having lightheadiness and heart palpitations and sometimes her hear races. This has been over the last few days. She just checked her blood pressure and it is normal and her pulse rate is 72. Could she still have a heart attack with normal blood pressure and pulse rate? Thanks, Kelli | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Lightheadedness associated with palpitations can be caused by irregularities in heart rhythm. Heart rate and blood pressure can be normal in these cases, but it is important to know what her heart rhythm is, and what is usually done is an ECG which documents the electrical activity of the heart. It may not be a "heart attack" per se, but it is noteworthy that she may undergo tests as part of the work-up. And I would suggest a consult with a doctor to be able to check other causes of dizziness such as a musculoskeletal problem in the neck, as well as problems in the eyes and ears which may cause dizziness, apart from a problem in the heart. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Respected Sir,My name is Nishanth singh gurung. I have undergone a root canal treatment 8 months back. One of my teeths in the bottom section is growing at 70% angle outwards. It is causing a problem in the gums. I always feel some sensitivity there and not able to study properly. Please tell me what i have to do. Its urgent | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The sensitivity in the tooth can be because of the cervical abrasion(Wearing away of tooth structure) since it is in an abnormal position, more force will be applied when you brush. The other possible cause can be a dental caries in between the teeth. So consult an oral physician and get it evaluated and take a radiograph to confirm the diagnosis. If the tooth is a wisdom tooth, then get it removed. If it is some other tooth, you can get it restored a cement material. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query...the pain could be because of the tooth infection.the analgesics you are taking is enough for the pain to come down, but you have to take a course of antibiotic like penicillin and metronidazole...if the pain is unbearable then you can take intramuscular injection of an analgesic. I hope injection is not required.just take the analgesics what you are taking and consult your dentist in the morning... I hope my answer will help you.take care. |

My left testical on the very top feels mushy and strained out, but feels normal towards the bottom. The right one is completely normal. I read a few similar things about this.. So far I gathered that it could be testicular cancer or that my left nut could be sterile.Could you please help me! Im a little frightened. | You are a doctor.

Doctor my baby is 2 months old..From birth she is feeding Lactogen1 no breast milk. I tried a lot of medicines for breast milk but failed.The matter is that the stool of baby is having foul smell. And her motion is too difficult hardly one times in a day. Is there any problem. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Most formula milks are cow milk based and hence difficult to digest. When the child is unable to digest it, the undigested remains are degraded by intestinal bacteria to produce foul smelling gases. I would suggest getting a stool routine microscopy (including test for reducing substances) to be done. Treatment will depend on the results. In any case, I would suggest changing the formula to a soy based formula and see if there is a difference. |
