Hi. I like your frankness. An Operation to remove the diseased portion of the Stomach is usually a last resort remedy for severely painful, intractable Ulcers. Surgery would unlikely be recommended otherwise.

Maybe you should consider curtailing your drinking and smoking habits - are known Ulcer-aggravating factors. You mentioned throwing away caution to what you eat, too. Consider also, getting a full Ulcer prescription once more from your physician. Have you been placed on tablet Omiprazole for a full 1 month?

Im on Omeprazole 20 mg/day prescribed for two weeks. I can continue for the extra two weeks if you ask me to since its slow in healing this time around as compared to the generality of my previous attacks. I have also promised myself that i will quit the drink thing if i survive this attack. The pain is excruciating. There is also much association between stomach gas and the pains i experience during my crises. Recent use of Mist Mag has only resulted in vomit. What chances are there for an ulcer to develop into cancer for a middle aged patient?

Hi Doctor

I observe that when i consume sugary products, there is blood in my stool. So i stopped, but anytime i take coke or anything like that it starts again. Please what is the cause for this

Thank you

The only way Sugar is connected to a change in stools in some individuals, is that it changes the consistency of the stools - makes them soft, sticky and generally more difficult to move along the bowels, hence causes the defaecation to be more difficult; usually with straining and invariably some bleeding at times. Unlike Fibre-diet such as diets rich in Fruits and Vegetables - these cause one to stool with ease and efficiency because they add bulk to the stool and bulk greatly aids the peristaltic (pumping) action of intestinal motility.

If I am correct, you would notice a change in the manner and consistency of your stool. Otherwise, it is not Sugar causing the bleeding, but something else.

Add more Fibre to your Carbohydrate/sugary diet. This should help correct the problem.

Hello Doctor,

I noticed some rash over my body a couple of moths ago. They seemed harmless at first and i just wash with medicated soap and dettol. It seem to disappear but soon got worse

The rashes reappeared in clusters - like ringworm- and would turn into lump-like itchy and painful sores.

Doctor i visited said it was a fungi infection and prescribed ketoconazole, fluconazole, gentamycin, doxylin - all of which i've taken but they don't seem to be going and instead comes out worse and leaves dark patches especially on my legs and feet.

Please what do i do next? I'm so worried!

May be it was an omission in certain details as to the usage of your medication, on your part, or that of the health-service provider.

Long and short - see your doctor again.

Sometimes when stools are little and watery, they become a nuisance in terms of the method the intestines adopts to empyt them. The intestines are convoluted loops of many meters length an so you can imagine fluid faeces hiding here and there in the various troughs within the loops.

The intestines function better with bulky stools. With loose stools they work inefficiently with the individual having to strain automatically as an aid. This is why the anus soon becomes oedematous(engorged) from all the straining, which may then lead to engorged veins (Haemorrhoids) that may then bleed. Therefore, one can develop Haemorrhoids both from Constipated stools and Diarrhoeal stools - the common factor is straining.

This is all in a general sense. In some cases of Diarrhoeal Disease, watery stools run out very easily with no difficulty whatsoever.

hi surgeon
thanks for your suppport
as a final request please could you suggest specific food items rich in fibre as you suggested.

The green stems of plants (vegetables), their leaves and their fruits - humans cannot digest the cellulose contained in the cell wall of these plant structures. As such, they remain as[i] bulk[/i] in the stools.

So, in general, we say fruits and vegetables are rich in fibre. Even the squeezed-out juice from Citrus fruits such as Pineapples or Oranges - they still contain lots of tiny pulps from the fruit-flesh, hence are rich in fibre also.

Hello. I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I get the feeling you only assume you have low blood pressure. Prove me wrong: was this told you by a doctor? What solution did they profer?

Is it a must for women to take WELL WOMAN and then what is the functions it renders to the body. Thanks

I assume you refer to the Vitamin suppliment from Vitabiotics_{I did a quick search}. It is just that - it adds vitamins and other mineral substances needed for a balanced diet.

It isn't a must. It all depends on ones state of health and dietary needs. If one is eating a fairly balanced diet and is in general good health, vitamin suppliments are not a MUST. The extra that the body will not absorb would be passed-out in the stools.

An active sports woman on the other hand, would need more vitamins because she has a higher turn-over of these minerals due to a higher metabolic activity during regular training and competition, etc. Same thing applies to a pregnant woman - her Gynaecologist would recommend some mineral suppliment or the other.

Thx Surgeon, Yes by Vitabiotics. For very long time i av been taking Ventolin and predisolone tablet due to challenge on my health and this makes me to loose weight and affects my menses i,e not flowing regularly, it comes on interval of 2 or 3 months. Though im advance in age and not marry, i tried Phamaton capsules but not really get the result i wanted. I surf on internat and discovered that an ailment can cause irregularities in woman circle. In a conversation a lady said that she takes WELL WOMAN and good for her skin, menses etc. Pls is there anything i can use to make my menses flow well. Thanks

Some of our women folk wrongly believe that it would result in a problem, if their menses doesn't flow well - meaning that the waste-products that's supposed to flow out, still remains in their system. Well, like I said, this is absolutely wrong thinking. The menses is no waste product at all. It is the endometrial lining shedding-off due to the newer one growing beneath. So, if there is no new growth beneath, their would be no new flow - doesn't mean danger or any retained waste, etc.

I'm saying this because I have noted you mentioned being advanced in age and unmarried, hence I assume you aren't trying to get pregnant - this would have been the only reason I would have been concerned about your irregular menstrual cycle.

If you still are concerned about this aspect of your health, I would suggest you see a Gynaecologist

Thx, i will

How is goiter cured?Which drug can one take to overcome goiter?.

[pre][/pre]NNNNNNNNNNN

It would be determined first whether the Goitre is a Toxic Goitre or a Non-Toxic one.

There are drug-based, Medical remedies and then there are Surgical remedies when indicated.

Quote from: surgeon on September 27, 2010, 12:13 PM
Here's a prescription that should help: Capsule TETRACYCLINE 500mg every 6 hours for 2 weeks.


i got TIVASICLINE 250MG can i take that? since its 250mg can i take two every six hours?

Can you list the type of drugs advisable to take for both toxic and Non- Toxic goitre?

I often have boils in my private organ, bladder and the penis and on my laps I have taken strong anti-biotics to no avail. my test says absence of baterial infection, but my puss cell is between 3-5, sperm count very low; oligospermia.

What drugs can increase the count. Note My hormonal balance is ok.

Is clomid good for the man, a friend took it and his count increased from 4-7 million in one month.

tunslove94:

I could. However, I'm worried it may be abused without having a doctor's imput in making an informed diagnosis before subsequently getting a prescription.

Your need for more information, added to all the data you seem to have already, by now any doctor would be concerned as to whether you are seeing a doctor one-on-one to sort through all of the information.

Half-knowledge is dangerous. Especially in a zero-regulated health environment such as ours, where one can pick-up [i]Clomid [/i]or any drug for that matter, just like that; without a doctor's prescription. Dangerous indeed.

Let the specialist do the job.

@the doctors in the house.

What is the cause of my unusual ache when I go jogging? Over the summer, I was an active daily jogger, then I stopped. Nowadays, am trying to pick it back up with much difficulty. Everytime I go jogging, a mild ache starts up from the right lateral side of my navel, and eventually moves up to the my ribs. Sometimes the pain is so severe that I have to stumble home.
And sometimes my ankle gets painful, that it becomes hard to jog.

What could be the cause? Lack of proper nutrition, is my body getting used to exercising again, or some other internal problem?

thanks.

altavista:

Docs, for some months now I've had this hotness and heat in my body and it's particularly concentrated around the privates and the spinal cord at the back.

Please, what is the cause and what do you advice cos it gets really uncomfortable at times.

Thanks

I'm afraid I cannot decide what the problem can be with only one variable to work with - the symptom of heat that you mentioned.

Whereas, if I were to see you one-on-one, I'd ask a lot of questions then do a clinical examination of several systems of your body. I'd then have much more data to allow me reach a conclusion.

I'm guessing that you are simply lacking your old stamina. Heavy breathing causes pain under the diaphragm, and this seems to be what you described. Pains in your ankles can be explaned by the srain from the jogging.

However, to be sure, check with your doctor to rule-out a possible heart condition - I'm taking caution of the sometimes "so severe" chest pains you mentioned.

TO ALL DOCTORS ON THIS THREAD:

I must say that i am totally impressed by the way you are responding to peoples queries. Even though i have not asked any questions, i wish i am able to reward you all for your selfless service.

Continue the good work. No good deed goes un-rewarded.

Cheers!

Hey doc. I've got scabies making my fingers, toes, wrists, ankles and Instruments rashy, inflammed and sore due to intensive itching and scratching. I was told vecuten cream, endix g and tabs prednisolone would cure me but they are all just anti-inflammatory and wont actually kill the scabies mite. Oral ivermectin and acticin cream should do the trick but i dont know if they are sold in nigeria and if they are not in nigeria, what drugs do you recommend i use to get a cure. Thank you very much.

Scabies is successfully cured in our environment, with [i]Benzyl Benzoate [/i]ointment, applied to the affected areas twice daily after bathing, for 1 week. Avoid the ointment getting into the eyes.
