Hi Docs,

 

I have a recurring pain on the back of the head across the back of the shoulder. Do what kind of medical specialist to I go to have a consultation (Orthopedics, Rehab Med, or Rheumatology)? Could you refer someone, preferably who is accredited with maxicare. Thanks and happy holidays!!

 

you can see an orthopedic surgeon or maybe a neurologist, just call maxicare for a list of accredited orhto or neuro doctors in your area.

Hi Docs,

 

 

Tanong ko lang po kung pwede nyo ipaliwanag sa akin yung "Granuloma". Last week po kasi nagpamedical ako for work abroad at nakita na may bukol daw ako sa left-mid lungs at granuloma daw ang tawag dun, yun ang sabi sa akin ng officer sa agency na nag-aasikaso sa papers ko. ang nagsearch ako sa internet about it at maraming klaseng granuloma ang lumabas at may nakita ako na isang malapit sa case ko which is a fungal infection na tumatama sa lungs at wala akong mahanap na ibang info kung pano magamot or maprevent ito dahil wala na po ako pera pampagamot dahil sa mga gastos ko sa paglalakad ng papers for abroad. sa pagkakaalam ko, bago lang po ito dahil 3rd time ko na nagpamedical for employment from june to december, yung first was august for local employment, the second was last september for local employment din po then the third was just last week at yung erd medical ko lang po nagkaron ng resulta na iyo.

 

 

Pwede nyo po ba ako bigyan ng mga information about granuloma sa baga ko, ano po ang epekto nito sa akin, nakakamatay po ba agad ito, kung ito man ay nakakamatay, gaano po katagal ang gamutan, anong pwede ko gawin para maiwasan ang pagkalat habang wala pa ako pampagamot, may mga nabibili po ba na gamot over the counter?

 

last question ko po, nabanggit ko kanina na 3rd time ko na po nagpamedical in six months time, ilan beses lang po ba dapat magpa X-ray ang isang tao at my age of 29, ano po ang epekto ng too much x-ray exposure sa kagaya ko na nagkaron ng 3 x-ray in six months time?

 

 

Maraming salamat po mga doc!

You have to see a pulmonologist, sir, who will tell you if that is indeed a mass (or bukol) or not. A lot of factors have to be considered, including size, location (sa gilid lang ba, o sa gitna, etc...) for us to suspect if the mass is benign or malignant. The next probable step in your case is a chest CT Scan. Pero as i've said, magpunta ka muna sa pulmonologist.

you might be suffering from temporal arteritis (not arthritis), means that your artery located in your temple is inflamed due to several reasons..... you may consult the following doctor/s if you like (not in any particular order) ent-hns,neurologist or rheumatologist....

paano mo nalaman na hindi nya period ito ? pregnancy test and ultrasound will help you in your problem. :mtc:

[Guest byanmaximo]

kasi kakatapos lang niya magperiod

 

so dt means buntis tlga cya?

[mwah]

I personally don't believe in so-called "safe days" (ie. 5 days after the last day of the period, etc. etc.). The thing is, a woman can get pregnant any time. If she had some form of unexpected bleeding some time after you've had contact and there's a very strong reason to suspect that she's pregnant, then better do your pregnancy test. Meron tayong tinatawag na implantation bleeding - and this happens when the egg has been fertilized and implants into the lining of the uterus. Please ask your lady friend if she took any medications too as some pills can cause menstrual bleeding to occur earlier than expected.

 

Pero ang bottomline dito, pregnancy test po at ultrasound dahil yun lang ang makakapagsabi kung buntis sya o hindi.

simple logic will tell you that bleeding per vagina only suggest that your gf is not preggy (anymore).....

kung preggy sya, di wala sana mens

probable reasons for bleeding per vagina

1. mens

2. abortion or incomplete abortion

3. threatened abortion

 

again, bili ka preg test kit...3 mins or less lang alam mo na sagot

[Guest byanmaximo]

so that means buntis tlga ung girl at wla ng ibang explanation?

 

kelan pwede magpa pregnancy test?

 

after the missed period db?

WHEN: When a girl misses her period, you can check if she's pregnant in the week after the expected days of the period that was missed.

 

OTHER EXPLANATION: implantation bleeding (nabuntis yung girl), dysfunctional uterine bleeding (abnormalities sa menstruation ng girl), abortion (threatened=simula pa lang, incomplete=nag-aabort na, completed=nawala na)

 

PEACE OF MIND=preg test at ultrasound

Pregnancy tests can be bought over the counter and available naman sa mercury drug or sa watsons.

I remember most tests cost around 200-300 Pesos. Most tests are quite accurate, but they have different sensitivity levels.

Please help me.

 

1 of my co worker got cataract surgery last Dec. 4, my questions are the following;

 

1. How long does it take to heal?

2. Is he allowed to carry heavy stuff?

When will his life be normal?

 

It's been almost a month now and he's still giving me that lame excuse.

Have you established your girl's pregnancy in the first place?

 

In my experience, abdominal discomfort is a common pregnancy complaint. It may be harmless but it could be a sign of a serious problem. Severe and persistent abdominal pain should never be ignored. Kung madalas na sumasakit ang puson ng girl and she's been experiencing spotting or bleeding, then you should see an MD right away so you can have appropriate tests done. Baka ectopic pregnancy na yan or miscarriage.

 

Minsan sumasakit din ang puson ng girl due to other problems such as urinary tract infection.

[Guest byanmaximo]

so kht sumasakit ung puson ,ibig sbhn hindi magkakaroon ng period?

 

kasi pagsumasakit ung puson ng girl un ung before siya mag kaperiod

 

kung buntis cya,,,bkt pa sumasakit ung puson db?

 

whatdoes ectopic mean pla?

Well, it's like this. Buntis man ang babae o hindi, puwede naman sumakit ang puson nya, puwede siyang magkasingaw, puwede siyang makaramdam ng kung anu-ano pa.

 

Isang simpleng pregnancy test, isang simpleng ultrasound puwede mo nang malaman kung buntis sya o hindi.

Ito lang ang magpapakampante sa loob mo.

[Guest byanmaximo]

are you a doctor by any chance?

[chemistmd]

are you a doctor by any chance?

 

byanmaximo, lahat ng mga sumasagot sa post mo ay mga doctor. doctor din ako pero hindi pang OB ang linya ko. but i can see that you are really bothered by your 'problem'. nothing beats a face-to-face consultation with your doctor. i know it can be intimidating, pero lahat ng tanong mo sigurado akong masasagot at maliliwanagan ka. mahirap kasi mag-explain sa message boards. try the pregnancy tests or kung gusto mo mas sigurado, punta ka sa hosp or laboratory para magpa-test ang partner mo. para ma-reassure ka nang husto, kailangan mo gawin ang preg test, ang mouth sores, abdominal pains etc are just manifestations of some changes that are happening to any woman who's either menstruating or carrying a baby. so ibig sabihin, hindi predictive ang mouth sores at abdominal pain sa pagbubuntis. ang predictive: preg test at ultrasound
