Question

I'm on a birth control pill, an it's regular to miss you period sometimes. I missed mine two times in a row. What are symptoms of early pregnancy?

Answer 1

Name of BCP?: Most birth control pills have a 4th week of placebo or sugar pills. If pills taken as directed, you should have your menses/period during that last week. Assuming that you took pills as directed, then you're still "unprotected" from sexually transmitted diseases/infections. But I'm still not clear as to whether white or brown pills are active rather than sugar. Ask your prescribing doc or pharmaci

Answer 2

Depends: X-rays show bones and their relationship to each other. An x-ray will not show crushed tissue, though it will show swelling. Swelling makes nerves send pain signals to the brain. Pain medication (anti-inflammatories) will help, as will elevation, immobilization and resting the hand. If not sure what was injured, go see your local hand surgeon for expert evaluation, make sure ligaments are ok.

Answer 3

Repeat X-ray: On occasion, hairline fractures may not be initially visible on the first set of films but may take more time to become apparent on a second set of xrays obtained a week later. Otherwise rest, ice, compression, elevation and nsaids may be your best friends if recommended and not contra-indicated.

Answer 4

No: You may have some pain in the first week or so but it shouldn't be severe. You should see your doctor or surgeon.

Answer 5

No : You should have some normal post op pain, but it should be better than it was pre op.

Answer 6

Urgent YES: Both 'change of bowel habit' and 'weight loss' are alarm symptoms and require urgent workup. Take action now - it may save your life.

Answer 7

May or may not: Gross blood in the urine with flank pain until proven otherwise can be a sign of kidney stones. Uti typically starts from the bladder and if left untreated can potentially travel to to the kidneys with serious consequences. Follow where the pain the starts. Stone starts from the back vs UTI from the bladder.

Answer 8

UTI blood in urine: Uti can cause visible blood in the urine. If no x-ray were performed such as ct or ultrasound then you should have one soon. I recommend a followup w a urologist as soon as possible. A subsequent urinalysis is critical should no work up is recommended on your initial visit. If your pain worsens or you develop fevers, go to your nearest er if your primary care doctor can't see you right away.

Answer 9

Unlikely: Most likely, simple respiratory track infection- bronchitis, see your doctor for examination, may give antibiotics along with cough medicine, and possible chest x-ray., metastasis is unlikely diagnosis in stage i

Answer 10

Unusual: More likely is mild radiation pneumonitis - which can be detected on x ray. You might have a simple upper respiratory infection or bronchitis (especially if you smoke). It is unusual for an er+ tumor, stage i to metastasize that rapidly.

Answer 11

Not likely: It is more likely to have bronchitis or pneumonia in the lungs especially following treatment (radiation) for early breast cancer if you develop a cough with phlegm. Check with your doctor who might have you get a chest x-ray.
