Question 1

is slower than normal labor a symptom for a specific condition?

Accepted Answer

Longer labors: Longer labors are seen in some obstetrical conditions such as twins or larger babies. Longer labors are not associated with any specific medical conditions.

Question 2

specific gravity 1.010 and ph 5 or 6.  this was a first thing in the morning sample.  does this seem too diluted or is it within normal?

Accepted Answer

It's dilute: Especially for first thing in the morning.  You should ask whoever gave you the means to test this and who has ordered all of these tests what to make of it.  Good luck!

Question 3

once my bladder is almost or at full capacity, is there a specific time minimum i am supposed to be able to hold on to be considered normal?

Accepted Answer

No: It is not a good idea to hold on at all when you feel the bladder is full. That can predispose to bladder infections and ultimately kidney infections. The urinary tract is supposed to flow to prevent bacterial buildup.

Question 4

is it normal for palpitations to be sporadic? i mean sometimes i can have few in a minute. sometimes only one. is this characteristic of palps?

Accepted Answer

Palpitation Sx: Palpitations are an awareness of extra heartbeats which most of us have. The sensation can be single or multiple and can sometimes last minutes. Different people may feel other symptoms along with them such as dizzy, lightheaded or short of breath. The palpitations are almost always atrial or ventricular premature beats. Usually benign but they are also found with abnormal hearts.

Accepted Answer

How elevated?: Means urine is concentrated. Drink more for you and the baby.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: It is not an uncommon finding. Because we can't make any decision on that non specific change so we consider it normal, a variation. You should not worry about it, take care.

Question 7

what are the chances of a completely normal looking mole (with no concerning characteristics) being melanoma?

Accepted Answer

Can't say.: AAD Malignant Melanoma screening:  ASYMMETRY: 1 half is unlike the other. BORDER: irregular, scalloped or poorly defined. COLOR: varied with shades of tan, brown or black; or white, red or blue. DIAMETER: &gt; 6 mm. EVOLVING: mole /skin lesion looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape or color.  An irregular mole that itches, bleeds or is painful is worrisome for possible cancer.

Question 8

ive had a few lymph nodes swollen for 4 years now, slowly grew from 2cm to 3.5cm long. ultrasound shows normal characteristics. docs cant explain it, fna was clear and doctors are saying its fine. but cant fna miss lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

: Several reasons why lymph nodes may become swollen for an extended period of time. While lymphoma is a possibility, it is important to consider other potential causes as well. One explanation for persistent enlargement is a chronic infection. Certain infections, such as tuberculosis or HIV, can cause lymph nodes to remain swollen asymptomatic for years.

Question 9

neurosurgeon out there? i did an mri for non specific symptoms and basically it was normal but they found like a small arachnoid cyst. does this mean anything or is it dangerous? are mri scans definite or no theres a chance that like its a tumor?

Accepted Answer

MRI of the brain: MRI is usually pretty good at identifying brain cancer. If symptoms worsen over time, reconsult your doctor .

Question 10

urine test showed specific gravity 1.010 and the normal was 1.011. other results normal. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Dilute urine: Having coffee, tea, water or soft drinks prior to providing specimen can cause dilute urine. Some medications like diuretics can do the same. To ensure that your kidneys are capable of concentrating urine, the test should be repeated using the first urine passed after waking up.Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
