Question

Hi, my father is suffering from a stroke for 4 years already. He couldn't talk, eat or move. He's in the nursing home now, what can I do?

Answer 1

False Positive : There are a variety of common medications (some over the counter, some prescription) that can give a false positive result for Methamphetamines: Metformin (glucophage), Trazadone, Fluoxetine (prozac), Labetolol (trandate), Psuedoephedrine (sudafed), Buproprion (Wellbutrin), and Quinolone antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin) Talk to your Dr about meds you take that could cause this.

Answer 2

No: Most women who have had breast reductions will find it difficult to nurse, and some may find it impossible. There's no harm in trying but it is important to be realistic. The operation relocates the nipple and disrupts the nerves that signal the brain to produce and release breast milk when the baby sucks. Sometimes there is adequate nerve function and with persistence nursing can succeed.

Answer 3

Yes: Yes you should since most of them are 'nipple-sparing'.

Answer 4

No: During a breast reduction, it is common to have to move the location of the nipples as the excess breast tissue is removed. In doing so, the milk ducts are cut across and this makes it harder or impossible to breast feed.

Answer 5

Yes: Most women who have undergone breast reduction surgery have good preservation of breast ducts to nipples, especially in the upper half of the breast which are usually not resected. Likewise breast feeding after augmentation (breast implants) works fine as these are placed under the pectoral muscles.

Answer 6

Possible, but: There are several different ways to do the surgery, and some leave more breast tissue behind the nipple than others. It is still definitely a low chance that you can successfully breast feed after reduction.

Answer 7

Benzoyl peroxide: Most of the OTC skin products for acne are safe in pregnancy. Simple soap and water works great, as long as you understand that the high Progesterone levels in the first trimester are the cause for acne -- by the end of the third month, most major flare-ups are over.

Answer 8

Skin care: Seek the advice of a dermatologist for a good non-medicated skin care regiment.

Answer 9

Check with your doc: You need to make sure it's not from a urinary tract infection. There are many reasons women may leak urine and the best treatment approach depends on the cause.

Answer 10

Yes: You can decide which, as both will help with that. Need to see urologist for exam / management plan.

Answer 11

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.

Answer 12

Get off it: Dilantin should be relegated to history. It is an old drug of high toxicity and major problems with use. Talk to your doctor about getting off or at least changing to a newer and safer seizure medication.

Answer 13

Yes, hypnosis: Hypnosis would be safe for you to try. You have been posting multiple questions concerning your worries about seizure many years ago, about drug use now causing seizures, etc. So most of all i hope you do see a psychiatrist and therapist to help you with your anxiety. Hypnosis may help also, and it is safe. Please stay away from recreational drugs, though.
