btw bro wizard, i think it would be better if mag konsulta ka with a nephrologist, kasi the bubbles that form when you pee can be an indication that there could be a problem with your kidneys... you might be excreting protein through your pee which is not normal... this tells you that your kidneys are not reabsorbing or filtering the protein in your system... normally kasi you should not have protein in your urine...

 

:mtc:

 

 

btw doc can regular masturbation be a factor in the existence of protein in my urine? tnx.

Good day MTS Doctor's,

 

ask ko lang kung ok lang po ba kung ang gagawin ko na pampakulo ng tubig para Termos eh yung mga basura sa loob ng bahay instead of using uling or kahoy or mga used papers kasi na-try nmin inumin yung hot water to drink coffee in the morning is yung gamit eh basura to boiled water kaso iba ang lasa.....compare of using the m-gas na kalan..... need your advice to proof ko sa matigas na ulo ng erpat ko.... wait ko nlang cguro yung reply nyo....

 

 

 

maraming salamat, :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley:

nope, i don`t think there`s any connection between masturbation and proteinuria bro, don`t worry `bout it...

 

you can jack-off as often as you want... it`s good for you and totally harmless...

 

in fact, studies seem to point out that masturbation can help reduce the risk of getting prostate cancer...

hmm.. bukod sa masama ang lasa ng tubig na pinakuluan sa apoy na ginamit na panggatong basura, delikado gamitin ang basura sa panggatong bro...

 

puro lason ang laman ng usok na galing sa basura... halo-halo kasi na kemikal ang lumalabas pag nagsunog ka ng basura, mapanganib sa tao kung malanghap o mahalo sa tubig na pinapakulo... baka cancer ang abutin niyo...

 

huwag nalang kamo kayo gumamit ng basura sa pagpapakulo... kahoy, uling, electric stove o LPG na lang gamitin niyo...

I recently join a fun run. I ran for 10KM last Sunday. I don't usually run. After the run, I know, common muscle pains might occur. Areas in the calves or hamstring. But what I encounter is a pain in my left knee, just above the right side of the knee cap. The very first time it happened to me.

 

Its a little stingy while walking (para na ko si Dr. House maglakad) and it is very excruciating going down the stairs. Also, there is a slight swelling.

 

Did I just tore a ligament? will the pain will go away with cold or hot compress? Should I get an x-ray?

 

Thanks

did you hit your knee or suffer any kind of trauma during the run bro..?

 

it could be just a knee sprain or you tore a ligament nga... since you said that you don`t usually run either for exercise or recreation...?

 

i would suggest that you consult an orthopedic surgeon for proper examination of your knee...

maybe ang ibig mong sabihin bro e yung laki ng balls ay mukhang pabago-bago..?

 

madalas depende sa gaano kainit o kalamig ang kapaligiran kasi.. pag malamig, umuurong ang balls to conserve heat loss... kapag mainit parang nababanat siya para hindi mag-overheat...

 

kung may mga gusto kang i-konsulta, suggestion ko pumunta ka sa isang urologist...

good day peeps!

 

let me clarify some things about your consultation.

 

1. how old are you? some injuries to the knee or some sports injuries are more common in some age groups

2. is there swelling and a presence of a hematoma?

 

with the limited data you have given, what i could surmise is that you've injured your quads...most probably you have a quads tendinitis or a simple inflammation of your quadriceps tendon. you said that you don't normally do running activities... you probably didn't do enough stretching before your 10K run. Anyways, just to be sure, an orthopedic consult would be enough to tell you what kind of injury you sustained. Other differentials would be a tear of the quadriceps tendon or muscle, a stress fracture of the distal part of your femur (thigh bone) or proximal part of your patella (knee cap). A simple physical exam would be enough to tell the orthopedic surgeon if an xray would be needed or not. The best thing for now is not to put weight on your injured extremity , immobilize it in a splint, apply cold compress and elevate it. This would lessen the swelling and pain...but, as was said earlier, you better see an orthopedic surgeon right away.

 

hope this helps.

Hi doc,

 

1. Im 29, 5' 10". 180 lbs. a little bit overweight from the height weight ratio.

2. No hematoma, just a slight swelling on the right side of the left knee (my right side).

 

Actually, im guilty of not enough stretching. When I reached the 7km mark. Dun na nag simula sumakit. I lowered my pace kasi sumasakit na. I'm not sure if there was a popping sound. tumutunog din kasi yun shoes ko while running. Today medyo nawawala na gano ang sakit while walking. But still going down the stairs is torture. Im scheduled tom to meet a ortho.

 

Thanks

Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Infection with this virus can cause scarring of the liver, liver failure, liver cancer and even death.

 

Hepatitis B is spread by infected blood and other bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, saliva, open sores, and breast milk

 

 

In most cases, hepatitis B causes limited infection. Usually people manage to fight off the infection successfully within a few months, developing an immunity that lasts a lifetime. (This means you won't get the infection again.) Blood tests show evidence of this immunity, but no signs of active infection.

 

However, some people don't get rid of the infection. If you are infected with hepatitis B for more than 6 months, you are considered a carrier, even if you have no symptoms. This means that you can transmit the disease to others by having unprotected sex, deep kissing or sharing food or drinks. Being a carrier also means that your liver may be more prone to injury.

 

For unknown reasons, the infection eventually goes away in a very small percentage of carriers. For others, the infection becomes chronic. Chronic hepatitis is an ongoing infection of the liver that can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis. Cirrhosis, or hardening of the liver, causes liver tissue to scar and stop working.

 

If you are carrying the virus you should not donate blood, plasma, body organs, tissue or sperm. Tell your doctor, dentist, and sex partner that you are a hepatitis B carrier.

 

 

If you get to a doctor within 2 weeks of exposure, you'll receive immediate immunization with the hepatitis B vaccination and a shot of hepatitis immune globulin to boost the immune system to fight off the infection.

 

But if you get sick, bed rest is usually necessary to speed recovery. Some doctors recommend a high-calorie, high-fat diet and suggest that sufferers try to eat as much as possible despite the nausea.

 

Also, if you are infected with hepatitis B, take extra care of your liver. Do not drink alcohol, or take Tylenol (acetaminophen) as they can harm the liver. Check with your doctor before taking any other medications, herbal remedies, or supplements as some of them can worsen liver damage.

 

If your hepatitis persists beyond 6 months and is in an active state (chronic active hepatitis , your doctor may prescribe much more aggressive treatment. If it is not active (inactive carrier state), your doctor may just watch you closely.

 

People with chronic hepatitis are treated with a combination of drugs. These include:

 

Interferon. The immune system-boosting medicine interferon alpha is injected for at least 6 months. This drug does not cure the disease, but improves liver inflammation. Long-acting interferon (peginterferon) has also been shown to be useful. Interferon does have some undesirable side effects, including: malaise, depression, and loss of appetite, and it can lower the number of white blood cells.

Epivir. This drug is taken orally once a day. Usually, the drug is well tolerated. Viral mutations often arise after prolonged use.

Hepsera. This drug works well in people whose disease doesn't respond to Epivir but, in high doses it can cause kidney problems.

Baraclude. This is the newest drug for hepatitis B

 

Currently, there is no cure for hepatitis B. Luckily, the disease is limited in most acute cases and occasionally disappears in those with chronic disease.
