A 44-year-old member asked:
Can I get pregnant after i've had a miscarriage?
4 doctor answers • 13 doctors weighed in
Dr. R. Wayne Inzeranswered
Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Yes: There are a number of reasons for a miscarriage. Most, however, are a random event and a single miscarriage does not predict future problems. The fact a patient has a miscarriage at least indicates the ability to get pregnant. Repeat miscarriages should be evaluated. There may not be a solution or the solution may be easier than one thinks.

If I had a body scan today, when can I restart taking my hormone medicine?

Depends on hormones : I think that would depend on the type of hormone you are talking about and the scan you had. If you didnt get instructions then check with your doctor first. Did you have a thyroid scan? Was it a bone scan or a density scan?

I ve had hbp ranging from 170 /110 and pulse at about 100 120 most of the time for about a week despite taking BP drugs. Ekg was negative. Thoughts?

Check with the doc: Many blood pressure medications take longer than a week to have their full effect. Check with your doctor as you may need a higher dose or another medication. Hbp is damaging over the long term most of the time and not over a few days so check with your doctor.

When a person had a seizure, does it mean he has epilepsy?
1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in
Dr. William Goldieanswered
Pediatric Neurology 48 years experience
Not yet: A single seizure does not epilepsy make! a careful history and neurologic evaluation may determine that it was an incidental event. Recurrent seizures with specific findings on eeg, examination and MRI may lead to a diagnosis of epilepsy. Epilepsy is the clinical condition of a risk for seizures.

Mouth Blisters: Zilactin is an over the counter product that helps relieve the pain associated with mouth sores/ blisters/cold sores and apthous ulcers.
If someone has any of these sores in their mouth they should stay away from citrus juices and spicy sauces, as well, to help prevent painful episodes.
