Dog Bite: What Should I Do Now?

bitten by dog , Please help me doctor Fast

Answered on 29th May '24

When you have a dog bite, the area may hurt, swell, and turn red which could also bleed occasionally. Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages. Make sure you visit a doctor for some checkups to ensure everything is okay since there might be more treatment needed like a tetanus shot among others.

As a healthy 30 y/o male with normal blood-coagulation, and not currently on drugs, what should I drink after suffering a finger laceration that leads to blood loss? Approximately a teaspoon, as I quickly applied pressure and administered aid on myself. Normally, I'd drink water, but given the small appendage damaged, I don't want to thin my blood out too much.

Male | 30

If you cut your finger and it bleeds a little bit, the best thing to do is drink small sips of water. Don’t worry too much—this will not greatly thin your blood. It will keep you hydrated and aid in recovery for the body. If you start feeling faint or dizzy, take a seat for some time while elevating your legs so that blood can return flowing towards the brain.

Symptoms of ovarian failure after hysterectomy?

Female | 36

The symptoms of ovarian failure following a hysterectomy may include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Menstrual patterns may change, and if ovaries were taken out, they will stop menstruating. Mood changes may include mood swings and irritability. Besides, low levels of estrogen may cause changes in libido. Ovarian failure can also impair bone health, which may influence bone density. If these manifestations occur, it is critical to seek the advice of your health care provider for proper assessment and intervention.

Ive had a ruptured appendix surgery last Sunday. Yesterday, I noticed that my incision produces fluids. I am taking celecoxib, cefuroxine and metronidazole. Is my incision infected?

Female | 19

If you notice any fluids leaking from it, this could mean there’s an infection. Other signs of infection may be redness, warmth, swelling, and pain around the area where the incision was made. Usually infections are caused by bacteria. It’s crucial that you get in touch with your surgeons as soon as possible so that they could adjust your drugs or give you additional treatment if necessary.

I had a gallbladder removal surgery and my scrotum is swollen and filled with fluid after that. Is it normal or I need to take some treatment ?

Male | 33

It’s common to feel concerned if your scrotum enlarges after gallbladder surgery. This condition, known as a hydrocele, occurs when fluid accumulates around the testicle. It happens because your body needs time to absorb the fluids used during the surgery. Fortunately, most hydroceles resolve on their own within a few weeks. However, if the condition persists or causes discomfort, consult your doctor. They can recommend treatments such as draining the fluid or surgery if necessary and will guide you to the best option.

For painful endometriosis and multiple fibroids best option is laparoscopic hysterectomy.  With ablation of endometriotic patches . The parts which need to be taken out is uterus including cervix and sparing the ovaries for better hormonal function . We need detailed reports and history for better evaluation .

How long do ovaries work after hysterectomy?

Female | 35

If the uterus is removed, as in a hysterectomy with preservation of ovaries, they usually work normally until natural menopause. But this may differ from person to person and the surgical approach. You should talk to your gynecologist and with the surgeon that did your surgery for details about you case. They will inform patients about post-surgery ovarian function recovery.

One of my friend got two cuts from blade but he showed only one cut to the doctor and didn't showed the other cut so doctor injected him a tetanus shot,is one tetanus shot enough for two cuts of blade?

Male | 19

Tetanus is a serious infection caused by bacteria that may enter the body through wounds. Perhaps your friend was cut twice by a blade but only got one tetanus shot. Therefore, there's a risk of tetanus developing in the other cut. One tetanus shot may not be sufficient for two cuts. Tetanus symptoms usually include muscle stiffness and trouble swallowing. As a precaution, your friend should visit a doctor again and get a second tetanus shot for the other cut.

I am concerned about it.

Female | 13

A hernia is when an organ comes out of a hole in the muscle, making a bump and hurting you. After the surgery, it frequently occurs. The recommendation is to consult your physician without delay. Your doctor might also propose surgery if the hernia is not corrected. Do not lift heavy stuff or strain your belly as it may worsen the hernia during this period.

Why doctors refuse hysterectomy?

Female | 46

In some cases, doctors may refuse hysterectomy due to ethical or moral objections like in sterilization surgeries. Some doctors may also be bound by institutional or legal guidelines that restrict certain surgeries based on age, medical necessity, or other factors.
