question:My sister is 79 years old and she is suffering from memory loss for quite some time. She has been prescribed for BP and livogen. She feels bad in her throat which we have to surmise as she is not able to say about her discomfiture and is not taking diet properly.My email id is YYYY@YYYY
answer:HIThanks for using healthcare magicLivogen is multi-vitamin, so she can take it. In case of sore throat, she should consult a physician for proper investigation and diagnosis. For memory, she can use donepezil or mementine after neurologist consultation. It would take time in her case to get some result. Rest, you can discuss with her physician or neurologist.Thanks
question:Hi, About 18 months ago I had blood in my semen and then was symptomless for the next year until I had a bout of prostatitis that was very painful. Today, I feel no symptoms or pain/discomfort, but I just discovered I had blood in my semen again. STDs are out of the question as I have been practicing safe sex and have been tested recently. I am a 23-year old healthy male.
answer:Hi, Your diagnosis is paroxysmal intermittent Benign hematospermia. The underlying cause for that is a prostate infection. For that, I suggest you take Levofloxacin like the antibiotic course for 2-4 week. Drink more water and more fruits. The chymotrypsin containing tablet also should be taken for two weeks. If still, blood persists than MRI pelvis can be planned for further workup. Meanwhile, try to ejaculate semen every 4 days to decrease inflammation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
question:Typing this feels like an excuse and further adds to the feeling that I am procrastinating but I need to ask. I am in university now and since I can remember, have always found it difficult to sit down and study. Right now I am trying to prepare for my third year in advance and sitting down for only five minutes, leaves me feeling really irratated. I want to shake this feeling off. I would love to be able to just sit down and study like some of my friends who are getting first classes but I truly struggle to do so. I always pull through at the end but I know I can do better and want to do better. Is there a way to train yourself to do so?
answer:HiThanks for using healthcare magicIf you have problem in making concentration while study, then you have to evaluate yourself for attention deficit disorder. You can either use some drug like methylphenidate or psychotherapy to improve your attention. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management.Thanks
question:I have anxeity and panic attacks started recently or so I think. I WAS PRESCRIBED clonazepam .5. Jus today I pulled a muscle in my upper back. Towards my shoulder. Im having trouble swallowing cause it hurts, hurts to burp and back and chest pain. Any idea if that could be connected?
answer:HiThanks for using healthcare magicMuscle pull may be due to some spasm. It has no co-relation with anxiety or panic disorder. Psychological disorders do not lead to such kind of physical symptoms. In that case, you need consultation from a orthopaedician. You have take some pain killer with muscle relaxant, that would help to resolve the problem. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
question:hi Dr Monnica, iam facing a very different problem, i always take wrong decisions and regret after everything is out of my hands, i dont stick to one decision always floats with multiple ideas ultimately resulting in all troubles and failures. What should i do to improve my concentration pls suggest me madam
answer:HIThanks for using healthcare magicIn your case, you need some psychotherapy. There is no medicine that would increase your decision making power. Whatever ideas come in your mind, write them in a paper and then think, which idea is more suitable for you according to your resources. You can also do some relaxation exercise like JPMR that would keep you calm and relax.Thanks

answer:HIThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you have some neurological disorder, may be spinal cord compression. In that case, better to get your MRI scan done and try to find out the severity of compression. Nerve usually irreversibly gets damage, in that case, chances of recovery is less. Better to consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for proper diagnosis and management.Thanks
