Do you really answer the questions, Dr? Is there a radionecrosis treatment for the brain? What is the latest technology? Oncology and neurology are your areas of interest. I would be very happy if you could answer me.
Dişi | 45
Radionecrosis in the brain can occur due to previous radiation therapy, leading to symptoms like headaches, seizures, or cognitive changes. Current treatments include corticosteroids to reduce swelling, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and advanced surgical options. Innovative technologies, such as stereotactic radiosurgery, are also being explored for targeted intervention. It's essential to speak with a neurologist who can tailor your care plan effectively. Please consult a neurologist for personalized guidance, as they can provide the best advice based on individual circumstances.

Hence it is important that anyone suspected as having MND must immediately consult a neurologist or an MND specialist for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Why Am I Experiencing Frequent Headaches, Weakness, Dizziness, and Ice Cravings? Frequent headache and weeknes and dizziness and ice craving
Female | 16
If you’re experiencing frequent headaches, weakness, dizziness, and cravings for ice, possible causes could include dehydration from not drinking enough water or anemia from iron deficiency. To improve your symptoms, try drinking more water and eating iron-rich foods like spinach and red meat. If symptoms persist, consider seeking medical attention from a neurologist.

It's the middle of the night and I keep stretching my legs my arms and everything continuously and it's driving me crazy and I don't seem to fall asleep what's wrong with me??
Female | 15
You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.

Hi sir/madam, I'm Suffering from right eye swelling,redness from past 25 days... recently I have visited a hospital and got my cerebral Angiogram test done...it was found that there is Dural arterveinous fistulae along bilateral cavernous sinuses nd clivus draining into bilateral petrosal sinuses and right superior opthalmic vein...which is causing swelling of eye,redness,watery eyes...They have suggested an exercise near neck(compression) for this problem. my question is does this problem go away with this exercise? How common is this problem?Any medical emergency required?What is the cost for stereographic radiation therapy? Thank you.
Male | 52
The answer to your question depends on the cause of the dural arteriovenous fistulae. If it is caused by a congenital abnormality, exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but it is unlikely to completely resolve the condition. If the cause is a tumor or an aneurysm, then exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but a more comprehensive treatment plan may be required. The cost of stereotactic radiation therapy varies depending on the institution providing the therapy. It is best to seek advice from a specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

I am 23 years old. I am feeling dizzy all of sudden. what should I do doctor.
Female | 23
Dizziness strikes out of nowhere. Causes range from dehydration to blood sugar drops or even ear infections. If hit with dizziness, sit or lie down, sip water slowly, and relax. Maybe munch on a snack if low blood sugar's suspected. But persistent dizziness warrants seeing a doctor; determine the real reason.

I have vertigo problem .I done some m r i lot's of treatment but no results also I done physiotherapy but no results .with vertigo i hav ear ringing problem.i done hrct scan but it's normal.
Male | 28
When you have vertigo, you may feel like everything is spinning around you; however, this can be very frustrating if accompanied by tinnitus. These two symptoms have been known to persist even after an MRI scan or physical therapy has been done. It’s a good thing that your HRCT scan was normal. In this situation, I would advise you to see an ENT specialist so they can find out more about what might be causing them internally and from outside sources like infections, etc.

Female | 26
If you are getting the feeling of your mind becoming cloudy and urinating frequently, with your hands feeling cold and having dubious thoughts, it's natural to be a health care provider. These symptoms could be a result of different things, including sleep disorders or even hormonal imbalances. Trying remedies and talking to a medical practitioner will be very helpful in clarifying what is happening, you could be directed to a specialist.

I am 68 years old and I had craniotomy surgery last year due to stroke related diabetes and the numbness had gone but now days it has began I don't feel some parts of my arm I can't even manage to carry something or else it will fall and my legs tend to swell what can I do
Male | 68
These issues could stem from nerve recovery after surgery, or they may relate to circulation and fluid retention. I recommend elevating your legs whenever possible and incorporating gentle exercises to promote circulation. Staying hydrated and reducing salt intake can also help manage swelling. However, it's crucial to discuss these new symptoms with your healthcare provider. They can assess your condition and provide tailored advice.

I am a 23 year old female who has been having headaches since I've given birth but still no changes of it going away even If I use painkillers. I'm alsohaving chest pain and throat pain for two weeks now, what should I do?
Female | 23
It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

I have bilateral hippocampal hypertension Any treatment needed
Female | 17
Bilateral hippocampal hypertension refers to raised pressure on both sides of the hippocampus in the brain. This can be unveiled by memory failure, headache, or seizures. At other times, high blood pressure is the usual cause. One possible solution is to change one's lifestyle to include a healthier diet and fewer quiet periods. Medications may also be recommended to bring the pressure under control and alleviate the symptoms.

Hy. More than one month ago during shower I have washed my anus and ( probabile also my colon). I have removed the shower head and i have put the nozzle into my ass...like 3 or 4 times. Like 10 minutes later started a flash stabbing pain in my left big toe. Next days better little bit after i have niumbness, flashing sometimes prickling and tingling in my legs and arms. In this moment I have burning in my all upper body. ( in my back and arms burn , hot.) I don't have fever! So probabile I have neuropathy ( polyneuropathy) symptoms. My question is the anal douching it could have been caused this symptoms ? Or it's caused by something else?? I am 28 years old. I don't have other sickness. Sorry for my english.
Male | 28
Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

Previous president’s name I remembered after 7,8 hours without anybodys help. Forgets names , days , dates. This problem I have from 2,3 years . more than 3 years back I used to take Alprax( sleeping pills ) every two hours at night( about 6 to 8 tablets at night, only when I used to have migraines, it was very very bad so I had to take it ) and I think because of this medicine I have the side effect like memory loss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was reading about latest medicine for Alzheimer Lecanemab (Leqembi) but the side effects are like brain swelling , blood leakage in brain etc. (ARIA) same way I was reading about a lot of medicine and all have very bad side effect like (ARIA)Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities…..

Some medicines can have memory side effects. Memory can be improved with non-tropic options, for example, CDP-Choline, L Theanine, Huperzine A, B6, and Piracetam; these can be considered. You mentioned another option, Vipocetine. It is best to talk to a neurologist before trying all of these together to make sure they are safe for you.

Female | 79
Accidentally taking two doses of her night medication could make her feel sleepy, unclear, or unbalanced. It's wise to watch over her and ensure she's alright. Remind her to relax and drink plenty of fluids. Should any odd signs appear, don't delay in seeking medical guidance. Most likely, she'll be okay but keep observing her condition for now.

Hello! I was diagnosed with OCD a while ago, and one of the compulsions to certain thoughts was to hold my breath for time. It all started from here. I entered medicine, I am passionate about the field and I was always a 10th grade student. My question is if my brain was affected, if there was any cerebral hypoxia. There were times when I held my breath for quite long periods (until I felt that I had to do it), other times when I was not breathing enough and had that feeling of suffocation (the biggest fear here is, I don't know exactly how much). I had a native brain MRI, 1.5 tesla, nothing negative came out. However, on a micro level, was my cognition, my intelligence, my memory affected? The SpO2 value is 98-99% now, should I go to a doctor? I haven't slept much in my life, I always stay up at night to study and I wonder if my brain is more sensitive to such things, also I was born prematurely. I had read on the Internet that people can get hypoxia and not see it on an MRI, that really panicked me. I'm starting college in a week and I'm constantly thinking about this. If I'm going to forget certain details, I won't remember certain things, I'll always think it's because my brain was damaged, not that it's normal not to remember everything. I managed to overcome these compulsions. But I think that there are no after-effects on the brain. What do you recommend? I am very panicked that I might have hurt myself because of some senseless compulsions. I don't feel myself anymore, after reading or many things on the Internet. Is there anything to do?
Male | 18
Holding your breath for a long time can sometimes make you dizzy or suffocate, nevertheless, it is improbable for you to suffer from a permanent brain injury. Your brain which requires oxygen is doing well because you have been receiving good oxygen levels. If you're feeling worried, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or talking to someone you trust.

Hello ,I'm 16 years old.Have had headache for 3 years now.It never goes away.Even with enough rest I still yawn during day time.It becomes severe especially during daytime.
Female | 16
It's understandable to feel concerned about persistent and severe headaches, especially at your age. These symptoms may indicate various factors, such as tension, stress, or even dietary choices. Yawning frequently may suggest fatigue or inadequate sleep quality. I recommend keeping a headache diary to track triggers, frequency, and intensity. Prioritize relaxation techniques and routine sleep patterns. However, since your headaches have lasted for an extended period, it's important to consult a neurologist. They can offer tailored advice and evaluate any underlying issues that may need attention.

It looks like you are suffering from a disease called tinnitus, a noise or buzzing sound that persists in your ears. It can be the effect of exposure to loud noise, ear infections, or age-related hearing loss. The main thing is to protect your ears from loud noises and consult an ear or neurologist doctor for further evaluation and treatment options.
