Question 1

i've had a strange bite for three days and it has been excreting what i think is serous fluid ever since. i'm not scratching it. is that bad?

Accepted Answer

Edema (Swelling): An insect bit can cause a lot of swelling (edema) at the site for several days.  This happens commonly in people who have more allergies and sensitive skin.  I have seen a mosquito bite cause a severe red, swollen (3 inch wide) spot.  That swelling can cause the serous fluid to leak through for a few days.  However, if it is not getting better by day 5, see your doctor, it could be infected.

Question 2

what is central serous retinopathy?

Accepted Answer

Central serous: Central serous retinopathy is a condition of unknown origin in which the central macular area leaks fluid and the vision drops.  It is uncommon, occurs in the middle years, and is not associated with any other condition.  There is no useful treatment; spontaneous improvement is most common.  A few cases become chronic and may cause some loss of central vision. See a retinologist for this.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Cirrhosis: Weakness, decreased appetite, weight loss, nose bleeds. More serious are jaundice, confusion, impotence, swelling of abdomen & legs.

Question 4

what can cause central serous retinopathy?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: This is a condition of vascular serum leakage in the macular area occurring most commonly in the middle years.  It is painless but disturbs the vision, sometimes significantly.  No procedure  or medication seems to help except in the uncommon cases when a single vessel can be identified as leaking - then it can be laser sealed.  Otherwise we ask the patient to just wait it out.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Serous fluid: It is normal to have some fluid between the pleural surfaces for lubrication during chest excursions. If due to disease pattern the fluid accumulates- pleural effusion, it causes shortness of breath and needs to be addressed asap.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Fluid under retina: CSR is a condition in which fluid forms under the retina and if it is in the very center of vision can cause distortion and/or loss of vision.  Diagnosis needs to be made by a retinal specialist or ophthalmologist familiar with this disease.  Many times related to stress.

Endometrial cancer: Endometrial cancer is the most common gyn cancer in th us. It is usually caught early because of the typical warning sign of abnormal bleeding. It's usually detected by endometrial biopsy or d&c. Hysterectomy is the usual treatment in early stages and has a high success rate.
