I saw a doctor about petechiae, spontaniously appearing on my thighs and calves, the CBC i got was normal. However my legs continue to be covered with diffrent petechiae. Its been over three weeks that this started, and it comes on in large patches about twice a week, covering about half of my thighs, or all of my calves. Could we be missing something?

I’m (…). My younger brother that is 1 year and 7 months has a medical problem. He swallowed a battery and it has affected his Esophagus.

Hi I am in a confusing situation. I have a defect in the base of my skull and my doctors have said this is the reason I have contracted meningitis twice. I have had an intermittent csf leak for the past 8 years and I have one surgeon saying operate and the other saying don’t as the risk o me losing my sense of taste is 80%! The leak is currently not active and my e n t specialist wants to do a cisternogram but I’m worried if I start leaking again then they will have to operate!
Hello I’m a sixty year old femail . I have been experiencing sharp lancing pain behind my right ear in the mastoid area for some months. My GP sent me for physio and I had six session and three sessions of acupuncture. Pilates was recommended. I had my first Pilates class yesterday, I had no pain during or later that day. This morning I awoke with the sharp pains and have experienced this all day , now I have the pain if I touch the area, I have not had this before. The pain is sharp shooting and very frightening. Thank you
Good afternoon. I managed to get Epididymitis after a fall whilst showering. 2 days ago. I did a short work shift afterwards in absolute agony. My question is how long would it be wise to remain at home resting until it is safe to return to work? I work in a commercial kitchen as a kitchen porter, and some degree of heavy lifting, as well as a large amount of walking around is required. My pain is still present, and severe today, with pain relief barely helping, and my next work shift is tomorrow morning. What should I do?
Yesterday I was in contact with a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) patient. He put his hand on my head to pray for me about three minutes or so. He did not touch me anywhere else and I had my gown and gloves on. He was diagnosed with MRSA by nasal swab. Am I infected? How can I get tested to find out if I am? I know the signs and symptoms of MRSA and do not have any, but I’m just afraid I am infected know.
Hi. I have a history of knee injury. I was a competitive cheerleader for almost a decade. A couple years ago, I shifted my knee cap. I went to a specialist and was given a brace to wear for a month. After that, it was fine and I didn’t go through physical therapy. Then, I had a knee arthroscopy 9 months ago for two meniscus tears in my left knee. One was tiny and the other was like a bucket handle tear. I changed specialist from my original one a few years back. My current one doesn’t think my original injury was treated properly. Anyway, I went through some physical therapy, but my doctor said I did not need to continue since I had my full range of motion back. There was also no signs of cartilage damage or arthritis in my knee. The past few days, the outside of my knee (near one incision scar) and the side of it has some pain and tightness. The knee is a bit swollen and feels like it’s heartbeat. I think I overworked it, but it too sure. I’ve been icing it, elevating it, and started using my knee stabilizing brace again today. I’m hoping it’ll pass with some rest and some pain relievers. Also, I’m just hoping it’s the frequent changes in weather somehow affecting me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Sir, my mother has fibroid from 2-3 years ,from 24 th feb she started bleeding and bleeding continued for 10 days due to which her haemoglobin level decreased to 4.4 , she once fainted due to such low haemoglobin so we took her to gynecologist and she immediately advice blood transfusion (4 units of blood in span of 26 hr)
Now after transfusion her haemoglobin level is 9.2
I have 2 question
Firstly i will tell you she is in completely bed rest at home from 2 days now i.e no work no walking (she used to do evening walk of 1/2 hour) no exersise and yoga.
1. After blood transfusion she is normal (apart from weekness) , doctor also gave medicine and injection to stop bleeding
Now question is she started drinking water all time after blood transfusion i.e 2 litre during night time from 10 pm to 6 am. Is this normal (nothing strange apart from this )
2.related to fibroid, what should we do next , gynecologist at 2015 suggested removal of vagina ,but my mother is afraid of doing so , hence we moved to ayurvedic doctor who gave medicine now fibroid size is reduced to 1/4 th (i think 1/2 mm now), but bleeding is getting worse as time passing -should we continue ayurved or do the operation.
Question: 29 M. Is (estim) safe? I have been using a TENS unit for estim, but not applying the pads directly to the testes. I put one pad on the base of the penis and the other on the buttocks or by the anus. The TENS unit I have puts out 6 milliamps of current at a max of 70v. I have not seen any articles online saying that it is not safe, with the exception to the source below.
“Lateral electrical surface stimulation therapy has been found to destroy Leydig cells”
(Bomba G, Kowalski IM, Szarek J, Zarzycki D, Pawlicki R (2001).Link to original research article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11386010.
Will doing estim on the prostate gland be safe (with an approved electric estim prostate stimulator or TENS unit power to the toy)? Is electrical current from an electro-sex toy harmful to the prostate gland? Are there any risks of infertility or harm with prolonged use? I will attach a picture of my TENS unit. Thanks.
Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query.
Well, there are no evidences of Infertility or other drawbacks like injury to testicles with the use of Estimmers..
They are designed to stimulate the prostate for handfree ejeculations..
It should be placed as such to provide proper stimulation to the prostate and for targeting the same it should be placed with one pad above the penis and other in the anal region..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
hi,
yes it is safe and has no reported side effects.
electrodes need to be placed above penis,below and behind the testicles for better results.
thanks
Hi,
You can consider tens is the most safe pain relief modality ,if used properly,the electrode placement should be either on the lower back and rectal ,or above the penis and under the testicles..
Hi
There is no evidence that tens can harm your testicles in any way, for prostate pain you should apply electrodes behind your testicles and just above penis
Good Luck
Regarding your question,
As per practicing, it’s okay as it’s widely used now and giving promising results, but evidence based wise , no conclusive studies has identified whether it’s hundred percent safe or not…

Hi i am dealing with a throat bacterial infection, my doctor prescribed me some antibiotics and pain medication. This has been going on since last friday and just last night i noticed that my ears have begun to feel clogged. This morning now only one ear wont pop, it clearly feels like i have a fluid or something in my ear. Do you think the throat infection has anything to do with it ? What other medication would you recommend ?
