Question 1

do infertility and addisons disease usually go hand in hand?

Accepted Answer

Links between both: Maybe, not always. Women with primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause) are much more likely to develop addison's disease and need to be tested. The connection works the other way, with women with addison's disease having lower fertility than women the same age without addison's, but not all are infertile. 1 report of a man with addison's with low sperm, improved with treatment of addison's.

Question 2

can antibacterial products like hand sanitizer cause infertility?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: The active ingredient in most sanitizers is alcohol and does affect fertility.

Question 3

this is really embarassing but i got sperm on a cut on my hand. could i produce antibodies to it that cause infertility? i'm really scared!!

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: I do not think this would cause infertility. Of more concern is the exposure of body fluids to an open wound. Viruses such as HIV and hep B can be transmitted through open wounds.

Question 4

my scaphoid hurts. i can't bend my wrist upwards and when i touch it, a sharp pain arrises. did i break it?

Accepted Answer

More info: The most common scaphoid injury is a LIGAMENT pull or sprain (small tear)  Fracture is less common and a good deal of swelling and bruising would be seen
REST..ICE ELEVATE and Ibuprofen may help. Xray is next step
Hope this helps

Question 5

what could be the problem? daughter had a fall on wrist 3 weeks ago. yesteday the bandage was removed and she's in so much pain. xrays show no fractur

Accepted Answer

X-ray when ?: X-rays taken at the time of the fall may not reveal a crack or fracture within the 8 bones in the wrist. The scaphoid bone is the common culprit. An x-ray taken a week or two later would show some bone changes that would either confirm or exclude a fracture. The injury should be re-evaluated .

Question 6

hi. my 4yo son has a bite to his left wrist. it is hard and swollen. shows no pain to the touch. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is most important for you to find out what bit him.  If he can't tell you, or if he doesn't know, if the skin has been punctured he must start anti-rabies vaccine.  If evidence of infection, antibiotics. See if he can show you where it happened--perhaps there was a witness. Take him to your pcp, or if unavailable, an ER for evaluation and treatment.

Question 7

hi i'm a student currently sitting exams throughout the week and have begun getting shooting pains in my right middle finger upwards just past wrist?

Accepted Answer

Hand pain?: MDalal ~ pain in right middle finger radiating to wrist. Have you tried releasing the mouse and giving your hand a rest? This sounds like classical over use injury associated with exams. We've all been there. Let go the mouse, relax you've got straight As already ! Get some rest and you will still ACE the exams ! :-))

Question 8

what will ultrasound of wrist and hand show?

Accepted Answer

See details: It depends why is was ordered. The ultrasound will show if there is inflammation to the areas studied. It also may be able to show damage in some cases.

Question 9

hi. my surgery was done on the 9th of july and i still experience a lot of pain as well as limitation with movement. i can't bend my wrist upward.

Accepted Answer

I cannot : answer your question exactly since you do not mention the kind of surgery you had, however continued severe pain and loss of function almost two MONTHS after ANY surgery should REQUIRE a follow-up in persona exam with your Surgeon!
Hope this is helpful!
