question:Hello doctor, I am currently facing the problem of total loss in sexual energy and stamina. The body feels very tired and energy-less. Do I have to take some medicine for it? I have been watching lots of porn for years now but have stopped it. There is no stamina left. Is this something serious or I need some medications? My sexual performance has gone down considerably. Please help me overcome it as it has started to affect my personal life.
answer:Hello. Yes, you need treatment for this but before that, you need to be evaluated by a doctor to find the cause of it. As medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction and psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety can cause such symptoms. So these conditions need to be ruled out first. Watching porn does not cause such issues. Secondly, do you face an erectile problem, poor desire, or premature ejaculation or all of them? I need clarification as your concern does not clarify it. I am offering you a free follow up for it. For more information consult a sexologist online -->
question:Hello doctor,My wife is 29 years, 4 ft and 11 inches. She is now 39 weeks pregnant and her weight is 56.8 kg. I am attaching today's scan report. The doctor said her AFI is 8.2 (low) and fetal weight is 3 kg which is a little high for her. So, the doctor is suggesting induction labor. My question is, is the induction necessary? Also, I am confused with the scan report as it is showing gestation age as 36 weeks and EDD is 5th of next month. How is it possible as our delivery date is given as 17th of this month?
answer:Hello. I have gone through your query and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The due date keeps changing, but the EDD given at early pregnancy is only to be followed. So, according to which your due date is 17th only. Yes, according to the scan induction is required. Please listen to your gynecologist and go ahead with the decision. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
question:Hi doctor,My eyes twitch a lot. I started experiencing it last year. It lasted for a good three months and then subsided on its own. This year it has started again. It is very annoying and hampers work. I wear spectacles and got my vision tested a while back. So my power is correct. Can you please help me on this? What medication should I use to make it go away?
answer:Hello. Do you feel any kind of fatigue also along with the twitchings? Did it start last year after any kind of systemic illness like viral fever or any trauma? Any kind of treatment you take for any disease? Your symptoms may purely be due to weakness without any associated pathology but may be associated with some local or systemic disease like blepharitis, or myasthenia gravis. You can try using multivitamin specifically rich in vitamin B12 and Folic acid. You can also use lubricant eye drops three to four times and do warm compresses.

question:Hello doctor,My 4 month old baby has jaundice. The doctor is suggesting surgery. After seeing the report, can you please guide me what is better for us and is surgery the only option?
answer:Hello. As per your description, the child is having jaundice and as per the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it is obstructive jaundice. It could be biliary atresia as per the ultrasound report. Treatment for biliary atresia is only surgery and surgery should be performed as early as possible within two to three months or else the surgery will be a failure. Please take a second opinion with other pediatricians and pediatric surgeons too, it is a serious issue. Please do not neglect. For more information consult a child health specialist online -->
question:Hello doctor, For the past five years, I have been getting a stuffy nose and itchy eyes. On top of these symptoms every time I get a stuffy nose, I get lightheadedness, dizziness, stomach upset, diarrhea, and headache. I also noticed that when this happens, if I move just my eyes to the left or right, I get this literal pulse of dizziness and I can also feel a buzz in my ears and they feel full. These symptoms come all at the same time and are non-stop for about two to three days and it is during all seasons. A stuffy nose is always an indicator that I am going to get all of the other symptoms. Right now, I am on my second day of this type of episode. I have been to numerous doctors and other specialists, and I have had MRI, CT scans and x-rays, but no one has ever been able to give me a diagnosis or treatment that works. I have tried dozens of medications that either do not work at all or only work for about a month. I am desperate for help at this point. I just cannot take this anymore. It makes it impossible for me to do anything, work, school, travel, and I am even starting to lose weight. Do you have any idea what could be going on and how I can fix it? I am currently on Venlafaxine, Simvastatin, Vyfemla, Flonase Propionate Nasal Spray, and Afrin.
answer:Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your nasal symptoms are more suggestive of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. The dizzy feeling and associated changes are more suggestive of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). There is no direct relation between both symptoms, but an allergic exacerbation may aggravate BPPV. For allergy, the treatment of choice is skin prick test and immunotherapy. Please contact an allergy specialist. That is the only way to cure an allergy, with everything else symptoms may exacerbate on and off. BPPV is a condition that may not show any findings on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography). Treatment of choice is vestibular rehabilitation exercise and maneuvers like Dix-hall pike and Epley,s. Antivertigo medicines are mainly supportive only. In your case, you have to get both the conditions treated simultaneously. I hope this helps. Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, BPPV. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises.
question:Hello doctor, My 18 month old son is very choosy and eats very less. He eats everything one day and almost nothing another day. I am worried about his health. He frequently gets cold and congestion too. What can I do? Can I give him any appetite booster? What is the best food for him?
answer:Hello. This is a common concern that every mother has. Kids are fussy eaters and we should inculcate good food habits in them. Try giving different food items to him on different days, keep changing, and experimenting with food - this might help him eat something. Never try feeding the same item to your child. Kids are bound to get infections - at least one in a month. It can be from other kids in playschool or park. They will develop immunity once they cross 5 years of age and infection will be less thereafter. Hope this has been of help. For more information consult a paediatrician online -->
