I'd go for infectious disease specialist, a subspecialty of internal medicine rather than a urologist.

A urologist is a surgeon therefore specializes more on surgical cases of the genito urinary tract but they do have knowledge about the medical side such as STD.

 

You're problem is medical in nature not surgical. That's why I choose the infectious disease specialist. It's really up to you since I know both can help you with your problem. There is no such thing as a 'mild' tulo by the way.

sir rcko21 is right... to an infectious specialist or an IM. a urologist could do, but its not usually his field. and yes, there is no such thing as mild na tulo, since a STD not treated could climb and infect the brain! please remember that.

@ scalpelexpert...this is not the place or venue to air your grievances of what happened to your mother. specifically because, WE WERE NOT THERE! its easy to quarterback after the game. we do not have any data to say what actually happened. and yes, the practice of medicine is sometimes imprecise, thats why its called PRACTICE. the older and more experience you get, the better you get.

 

also, as ma'am Mwah pointed out, your mother is already undergoing dialysis. this means her kidney, which helps gets rid of toxins in the first place, is not around to help her. it also means she has a chronic condiiton, i.e. Diabetes. many of these conditions also have neurological symptoms when it has been in a chronic state.

 

as sir rcko21 has also pointed out, clotted blood in the dialysis machine does not equate with causing a stroke. a patient usually has difficulty of breathing as the clot almost always affect the lungs and not the brain.

 

if you feel that there has been a disservice, get your mother's records and lab files and seek a professional opinion.

that means you're taking a s@%t.

you're fissures might have recurred. visit a gastroenterologist to have yourself check. Eat lots of fiber to make your stool soft. A hot sitz bath will help if it is anal fissure or hemmorhoids.

Try looking for a family medicine doctor. This guys go for holistic approach in patient care focusing on primary prevention of illneses. Check out the private clinics of any reputable hospital. Ang nagpapamahal ng executive check up are the laboratory work ups. So as long as the doctor doesn't tell you that you need expensive workups such as CT Scan/MRI/PET you wont be charged an executive price.

St. Luke's Medical Center in Global City has a wellness center. It performs executive check-ups according to package. The good thing with this center is that it has its own diagnostic facility which is separate from the main hospital facility, meaning they dont combine well-patients with sick patients. Ang sabi nga nila, it is a hospital within a hospital. It is a one stop center where blood extraction, x-rays and ultrasonography, endoscopy, ecg, stress test and all other diagnostic procedures are done in one convenient floor. It has individual consultation rooms with dedicated doctors to attend your needs. It is a hotel like facility complete with a spacious lounge, buffet area (healthy foods siyempre), internet cafe, free wifi, Ask them and they will try their best to provide for you. If your executive check-up package includes an overnight stay, you will be admitted in the complex which is again separate from sick patients.

 

You will receive a narrative report explaining all findings in layman's terms. Your wellness doctor will also sit down and explain all findings with you.

first and most important of all don't lick your lips, use lip balm or petroleum jelly (to moisten your lips especially the corner) as often as needed maybe 5 or more times a day.

 

Wait for the crack to heal completely and minimize opening your mouth (if you can) you can use povidone iodine mouthwash to paint the crack (5 x a day)

 

if after a week you don't see any improvement please see your ENT-HNS doctor for consult.

Docs, pwede po bang ma detect sa lab exam(blood,urine sample) kung na infect ako ng rabies?

if not, sang ospital(metro manila) po ba na medyo mura ang magpavaccine? worried lang kasi ko dahil habang pinoforce feed ko sya, sa pagsara ng bibig nya nadale ang daliri ko(not too deep pero may maliit(ga tuldok) na sugat)(hindi kasi updated ng anti rabies vaccine ang dog) kagabi lang, ngayon, masama pakiramdam ko. many thanks.
