Question 1

reading the news on cnn and i saw they got a cure for hepatitis c i have hepatitis c is this true ? its a new drug they said ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: We've been able to cure hepatitis c for several years now, but the treatments were difficult.  Two new drugs approved in the last month make it much easier.  However, each must currently be taken with interferon, so at best, you have to put up with interferon side effects for 3 months.  In the fall of 2014, we may have regimens that don't require interferon.

Question 2

is there a cure for ed?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes: First you need to find out why the ed is happening. Stress, anxiety, insomnia, low testosterone, diabetes, hypertension, etc all can contribute. Depending on the cause, your doc can help you fix the problem. Ask for help. If your family doc can't help you, then ask for a referral.

Question 3

any cure for angioeadema?

Accepted Answer

Symptom not disease: Angioedema is a symptom of a variety of diseases. There is no panacea that treats all causes of angioedema. Angioedema may accompany hives. It may be a symptom of anaphylaxis. Aspirin, ibuprofen, antibiotics, & some blood pressure medications can cause angioedema. There are inherited disorders. Your pcp & board-certified allergist can help you with this. Cure depends on the cause.

Question 4

any cure for hypetitis b?

Accepted Answer

No reliable cure: Teens or adults who catch hepatitis b get sick, and then recover on their own, but about 5% become carriers and always have the virus. Babies who catch hepatitis b become carriers of the virus. The antiviral medications block the virus, so the patient has fewer and fewer numbers of virus if the treatment works. A few patients are called "cured" in that blood tests don't detect the virus any more.

Question 5

what are the cure for pile?

Accepted Answer

May not be cured?: Piles is another term for hemorrhoids.  This is usually internal hemorrhoids though some will say external hemorrhoids are piles.  This is a "varicose vein" of the anal area.  It is treated with hot sitz baths, topical like "preparation-h", other topicals, prescribed medications like corticosteroid creams/suppositories, witch hazel compresses and maybe surgery.  See pcp, colorectal surgeon, etc.

Accepted Answer

No celiac cure: Unfortunately, there is no cure.  The best possible "treatment" is avoidance of foods containing gluten.

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

For cure: Only surgery or banding.  But symptomatically, things like preparation h or witch hazel help.  Also stool softeners and diet rich in fruits and veggies.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Vitiligo?: I do not think there is a cure or way to slow its progress unless something has changed; perhaps a dermatologist will have a better answer.

Question 10

Varies: There are some medicines and surgical treatment.  Avoid staring with bm's and stool softeners may help. Symptomatic treatment consists of hemmorhoidal cream and sitz baths.  If they are extremely painful, more urgent treatment may be required.
