question:Hello doctor,As I have PCOD problem and also cyst, I take tablets for period. My friend suggested Kalachikai powder. I used it for 30 days continuously, but no use. How many days should I take that powder and how to overcome this problem?
answer:Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online -->
question:Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods?
answer:Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

question:Hello doctor, My 36 years old cousin has a problem lately that whenever he masturbates his right hand becomes numb and suddenly he cannot move it for few seconds and after some time it gets fine. Is it a serious problem?
answer:Hello. It does not appear to be a serious illness. Does he get any other symptoms like neck pain or arm pain? This may occur due to compression of the nerves supplying the right arm leading to the symptoms. You should get cervical spine AP (anteroposterior) or lateral view. Till that time he can have tablet Neurobion Forte (vitamin B1, B6 and B12) once a day which is a nerve vitamin. If this is not helpful then you need to take tablet Pregabalin 75 mg bedtime, which is a nerve stabilizer. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take medications with their consent. So overall, it does not appear to be serious and worrisome but should be evaluated.

question:Hi doctor,My wife's double marker test results are as below. Age 32 years old, hCGb - 53 ng/ml and Corr MOM 1.08, PAPP-P 653.6 mU/ml and Corr MOM 0.36, T21 - 1:224 age cut off 1:596 and cut off 1:250. What is the risk of Down's syndrome?
answer:Hi. She is 32 years old. I do not have her complete gynecology, obstetrics, medical, previous family and drug history actually but at 32 years of age, the risk is not as much as elderly pregnant ladies at 40 years of age or above. So age-wise low risk as you have described report 1:596 means one in around 600 children will be affected. So least risk. For previous history in her and your family of Down's syndrome you have not mentioned actually but if it was significant (means if you had any relative with Down's syndrome) it should be mentioned them in the report as well. The biochemical risk they have mentioned one in 224 children in her laboratory report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) they made risk value. Normal cut off value for biochemical risk is one in 250 children actually below this doctors just have to describe petient that your risk is one in 224 children. But this risk is not all over for her it is just biochemical results in the laboratory that can have some fluctuations as well in results. All over her age, the previous history is not having any significant risk and biochemical markers also not very abnormal. It is better to have a scan around 13 weeks for nuchal translucency to have a more clear idea as this also need to check for Down syndrome for safe side. It is measurement 2.98 mm or below is normal. At 20 weeks better to have detailed anomaly scan with expertise hands and at 22 weeks better to check hearts and its flow tracts for develping baby via scan. In case of any abnormal symptoms like bleeding, pain or dizziness or palpitation report to the hospital. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
