What's up Doc? IV

[DocShe_713]

Hi! Sorry for the late response, freelancer babe-there are many mass we can consider . Most common would be a Lipoma, sebaceous cyst or even a Hemangioma just because you described it a bluish in color but then only a physical examination will help with the diagnosis. Just the same, it looks benign on your description.
Regarding the rashes, may be contact dermatitis or simply allergy but still best to have it checked coz there are a lot of skin condition we can consider. Update us once you visited your Doctor. Take care!

Hi Doc She,

It's alright! I guess both conditions I've mentioned won't get me dead the next day *knock on wood* .. hehe!

I've actually consulted one doctor for both. I just like to hear a 2nd opinion.

With regards to #1, he said that it could be benign in nature.

With regards to #2, he had prescribed me Loratadine 10mg/1 tab/day. I'm on my 7th day of taking that tablet. I'm also applying Caladryl to the area as well. I'm not sure if it improved or not, but the itchiness had definitely lessened - as long as I am taking the medicine on time.

I was also asked not to wear metallic belts, as the metal had started all that allergy. Good thing I was able to find a non-metallic belt this weekend - a bit expensive though and it almost didn't fit my expanding waistline.

Thank you!

Hi Doc, I have a question po.. may pain po kasi ako na nararamdaman sa left eye ko everytime I blink, nung Sunday pa to.. Im wearing contact lens.. is it possible na may scratch sa cornea ko? if so, delikado po ba? kinakabahan kasi ako.. pero magpapa check up na din naman po ako bukas.. I just want to be reassured lang po..


and another pa po, lulubusin ko na.. di ba normal naman po talaga yung nagkakapasa pbefore yung monthly period? pero ako po ever since I was a kid pasain na po talaga ako, kahit wala naman akong ginagawa at kahit hindi naman ako nauntog sa kung saan nagkakapasa ako.. lalo na po kapag parating na yung monthly period ko, ang dami ko po maliliit na pasa, as in madami po talaga tapos pakalat kalat sa katawan ko.. normal pa rin po ba eto? thanks doc!

Devilish- the contacts may have irritated the cornea and scratch it yes it is important to have it checked by an ophthalmologist.
Regarding the hematoma, have you blood examined for clotting time and bleeding time. Also platelet count.

[DocShe_713]

Dhee- monitoring of your myoma usually by ultrasound once a year. Yes, even with myoma or retroverted uterus it is still possible for you to get pregnant. Good luck!

Hi DocShe_713,

Nadiagnose po ko ng amebiasis last week, on my 6th day nagka side effect yung metronidazole nagka tingling sensation po ko sa arms and severe nausea kaya pina stop na ng OB ko meds. Nawala na kaya yung parasite nun kahit 6h day ko na siya inend? Tska foerever daw po ba ang amoebiasis? Thanks

[DocShe_713]

Purple sassy- you can check if you're cured by doing a repeat stool examination. Yes, it's curable.

thanks po Doc She..

Dhee dhee- once a year is enough but you can do short term follow up of every 6 months.

Hello Doc, ask ko lang po kung bakit di ako nataba? or nag ggain ng weight, malakas naman po ako kumain. as in mala construction worker. Ang pagpupuyat or pagtulog ng late po ba ay pwede ring cause ng di pagtaba? thanks po

Sweetie- may be in your genes. Different people have different rate of metabolism, you may be one of those blessed with fast metabolism .

First if you have on and off nasal congestion and colds, better have it examined. It may be allergic rhinitis and treatment is different.

Hi doc, I had UTI 3wks ago, 33-35 pus cells ko, den I was given antibiotic, had another urinalysis, nagdrop sa 6-8 pus cells ko pero may rbc na 16-18. What does it mean? May UTI pa rin ako?
Thanks!

[DocShe_713]

June break- your uti is clearing , however, are you expecting your menstruation? Or doyou have menses when you had the urinalysis done? Another to consider is to rule out kidney stones.

[jesrora]

Doc my husband urinated blood twice for the past 6 months. First was around November last year - he had Urinalysis, KUB, and some STD exams all came negative. Then again this February - again Urinalysis and KUB was clear. Yung mga doctors sa health card namin just said change lifestyle. Like stop eating salty foods or lessen it, lessen alcohol intake and soft drinks. Drink water always. Pero I'm still bothered. He had a history with kidney stones when he was around 21 years old daw. Kidney stones lang ba to? Bakit wala sa KUB?

[jhenbreak]

Thanks sa reply doc.
I had the urinalysis done 8 days before my period pa. Hindi po ba nakikita sa urinalysis kung may kidney stones? Kapag recurring na po yung uti, should I consult a urologist or ob? The last time I had recurrent uti kasi siguro 5yrs ago na yon and was diagnosed of endometriosis, I don't know kung may connection ba yon. Thanks po.

[Dhee-Dhee]

Papacheck ko po, baka nga allergy. Thanks, DocShe.

Salamat po Doc

Doc She, ask ko lang po kung ano po ba possible reason why 4 of us in the family are having rashes and itchy skin. Sabay sabay kasi kami. We tried taking celestamine kaso walang effect. We're thinking baka sa pabago bagong weather pero kasi first time na ganto katagal. One week na kasi. Hope you can answer my question. Thanks po!

[DocShe_713]

Free- are there any pets in the house? Sometimes mites from house pets can be transmitted to human and cause that. Are there itchiness and rashes also I'm between the fingers and toes?
