kinakabahan ako kung ano to .... may sakit ba na ganito ang symptoms?

 

Well, looks like tinamaan ka nga sa kinain mo.

 

Diarrhea is a part of the body's defense mechanisms. Like in your case, that is to flush out the toxins that you ingested. The problem with this is that if your diarrhea is massively watery, you may end up with dehydration.

 

The mainstay of diarrhea treatment is rehydration. Just let it all out and try to replace your losses with a rehydrating solution (e.g. hydrite, gatorade). What Loperamide (Imodium) does is try to stop yung paglabas ng stools mo which may not be healthy. You're holding in the toxins,etc. Another thing is that yung production ng watery stools mo might still be ongoing pero di lang sya lumalabas increasing the pressure in your bowels. This could explain bakit sumasakit pa yung tyan mo.

 

Your fever may be part of an infectious process which might be causing your diarrhea and in part by dehydration. Other signs of dehydration includes sunken eyeballs, dry mouth, dry underarms. Likewise, take note of your urine output baka maghapon ka nang di umiihi, this would alert you to the possibility of involvement of your kidney because of your dehydration.

 

You can try antibiotics - quinolones would have good coverge but rehydration is still the best way to go. If you can't take sufficient oral rehydration for whatever reason or if you really feel weak, better have yourself confined.

i would like to ask for opinions regarding my current condition right now. i had been experiencing chronic localized muscle pains (mostly strains) on my left triceps, my legs (right and left) and left calf for two months already. The pain that I experience on my left calf is actually on and off thesame with my left triceps. I have not engaged in any physical activity prior to the beginning of the pain, it just happened. I've had CPK test (normal), blood test (normal but with high ESR), C-protein test(negative), spec m blood chem(high globulin) and EMG/NCV which I think overall is normal. High ESR and globulin, as far as i Know, indicates inflammation but doesnt actually points to the cause. i am considering acupuncture treatment, will this help?please help..

 

Have you seen any specialist in the musculoskeletal field (Orthopedics, Rehab Med, or Rheumatology)? One of them might be able to shed some light to your problem after taking a proper history and physical examination.

Is your lower back pain a result of a particular exercise? I had lower back pains when I did rows at the gym. What I did was to make sure I sufficiently did stretching exercises on my lower back before and after doing the rows (or any other exercise that affected the lower back). I don't experience lower back pains anymore

 

nope..matagal n sya and i dunno kung ano talaga cause...

 

Best all around aids for common back pains:

 

1. Like Peoples' recommendation... lower back strengthening exercises. Add some abdominals to that. You need midsection strength for support.

 

2. Proper posture while walking, standing, and sitting.

 

3. Proper back support, especially for office chairs if you're stuck indoors for work. Or for the bed, whether you're active or inactive.

 

4. Bend your knees when you pick up things off the floor.

 

thanks for the list of aids...

Does drinking 6 liters of soda pop a day really lead to UTI?

Does drinking 6 liters of soda pop a day really lead to UTI?

 

6 liters of soda (and knowing Filipinos, mostly Coke) will dehydrate you and predispose you to UTI. Exchange the 6 liters of cola for 2 liters of water and you'll be richer and healthier.

Thanks for the advise saer sunking, other than giving up the soda, is there anything else I can do to prevent UTI?

you could take either buko juice, cranberry juice or drink sambong tea.

And if you're sexually active, more condoms... and avoid multiple partners if possible...

is it okay for one of my balls to be bigger than the other? or should i go see a female doctor so she can cup my balls and tell me if im ok or not?

 

Actually your balls are equal in size for both sides. It is just that the left is lower than the right (mas lawlaw) due to the fact that the left balls descended from your body earlier when you were still in the womb. Do not worry about this. This is normally the case.

 

If one of your balls inside the sac is really significantly bigger than the other then I think you should consult a urologist.

 

About the female doctor, good luck.

Does drinking 6 liters of soda pop a day really lead to UTI?

 

There is actually no ball park figure as to how much is excessive soda for you. But I believe that 6 is way too much.

 

By drinking one can, Imagine 10 teaspoonful of sugar entering your system. You dont notice the overwhelmiong sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the taste. Now, multiply this by 6 times and you have the answer.

 

As far as UTI is concerned, the basis is because calcium levels are lowered by drinking soda due to the influx of phosphorus. And calcium is then spilled in the urine which adds more risk to urinary stone development presidposing one for UTI. Also, because of its high sugar content, sodas become a diuretic which makes you more dehydrated and makes your urine more concentrated again predisposing it for UTI.

Slowing down on your soda intake is actually not easy but you can at least start.

 

Easy

I have a friend who is in hemodialysis at least twice a week; confined in hospital a couple of times, he has lost more than 40 lbs and is now a lot weaker. The family is poor and he doesnt want to be confined again in a hospital. Any helpful suggestions on how he should go about it?

depende sa specialty. and kung sino, syempre. Average i guess, is 400 to 500 per consult.

 

So why be anxious if the results were negative? dyou have symptoms?

Help! My girlfriend's about two weeks delayed with her menstrual period. Since she usually has her a regular cycle, we had an over the counter pregnancy test during the first week of her delay. The result was negative (not pregnant). However, she still doesn't have her period until now and it's been two weeks and counting. Should I still be worried? Could you also enlighten me as to the other causes of delay? thanks.

The family can try asking for financial assistance from either the local government or other charitable institutions such as PCSO.

The worst thing the family can do really is to let it things be the way they are i.e. give up on treatment.

 

Also, it may be prudent to consult c/o National Kidney Institute to check options that may be available for his case.

 

I know this is easier said than done because I've had a lot of patients just like your friend but take heart in the fact while there's life, there's hope.
