Should I Worry About Numbness After Treatment?
I feel numbness near the treated area; is this temporary or should I be concerned?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd Sept '24
Numbness in the treated area is normal after surgery. This may be because the medicine used in the process has some temporary effect on the nerves. Apart from this, you may have a tingling or pins and needles sensation. Usually, this numbness heals by itself as your body recovers. If the numbness symptom lasts for a long time or increases, you should notify your doctor.

Household chores after hysterectomy?
Female | 41
To start with light household chores after a hysterectomy and avoid the strenuous activities. For the first weeks, do not lift anything more than 10 pounds to avoid putting stress on this area of surgery. Reintroduce activities such as cooking or light cleaning gradually, but never bend, stretch or lift heavy weight. If you feel uncomfortable or tired, listen to your body and rest. Generally, 6 to 8 weeks after the doctor’s recommendations a gradual return to normal activities is prescribed.

I am Manish, 20 years old. I have high fever (100°) and mild headache since yesterday. Please recommend some medications.
Male | 20
Having a high fever and mild headache can make you feel pretty crummy. These symptoms can be due to an infection, like the flu or a cold. Taking acetaminophen can help bring down the fever and ease your headache. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and keep an eye on your temperature. If your symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's important to reach out for further advice.

Headache and have yellow mucous
Male | 18
Headaches and yellow mucus often suggest a sinus infection. Sinuses get blocked, causing head pressure and pain. Yellow mucus indicates your body is fighting an infection. Try using a humidifier, drinking water, and saline nasal sprays. If the mucus doesn't clear, see a doctor.

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.

Mera laparaotomy karwane ke liye doctor ne bola hai per mujhe ye bho bola jaa raha hai ki is operation me mere pait ko beech se poora khola jayega. kya ye sach hai?
Male | 37
Laparotomy is a type of surgery where the doctor makes a large incision in your abdomen to see inside and fix any issues. It is done for serious problems such as a blocked intestine, organ health issues, or tumors. During the operation, the doctor opens your abdomen and carefully checks and treats the problem. Following your doctor's advice is the best way to achieve the health results.

Male | 80
It looks like your grandpa’s Foley catheter might have a problem. The balloon could be causing the bleeding because it’s coming out. There’s no pain, so that’s good. We’ll watch the bleeding for now. Keep the area clean and dry. If the bleeding doesn’t stop or you have other worries, call your health care provider right away for advice.

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.

Male | 27
Slight white discharge following fistula surgery is a common phenomenon. This may be due to the healing of the wound. Keep the area clean and dry. Change your dressing regularly as advised by your doctor. It is wise to inform your doctor at once if the discharge develops a foul smell or green color, or if you have a fever.
