Dear Abdul Ji,

Aapke left side chest me dard gas ki wajah se ho sakta hai, lekin agar gas ki dawai lene ke baad dard sirf temporary thik hota hai aur phir se wapas aata hai, toh isse ignore karna theek nahi hai. Chest pain kabhi-kabhi heart ya lungs se judi problem ka bhi sanket ho sakta hai.

Aapko kya karna chahiye

1. Symptoms ko closely observe karein

   • Kya dard ke saath sans lene me dikkat, paseena, ya thakaan hoti hai?
   • Kya dard khaane ke baad ya kuch specific activity ke baad badhta hai?
     
     

2. Doctor se consult karein

   • EKG (Electrocardiogram), chest X-ray, ya blood tests ki zarurat ho sakti hai heart ya lungs ki problem rule out karne ke liye.
   • Agar ye sirf gas ya acidity ki wajah se hai, toh lifestyle aur diet changes recommend kiye jaa sakte hain.
     
     

3. Lifestyle changes

   • Spicy aur oily food avoid karein.
   • Chhoti-chhoti meals lein aur heavy meals avoid karein.
   • Stress aur alcohol consumption kam karein.
     
     

HexaHealth kaise madad karega

HexaHealth aapko experienced physician ke saath consult karne ka option dega. Hum, aapki proper diagnosis aur treatment ke liye end-to-end support provide karte hain.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Pain in the knee, calf, and back during walking can indicate several potential conditions, depending on her age, medical history, and activity levels.

Possible Causes

1. Osteoarthritis: Common in older individuals, especially in the knees, leading to pain during walking.
2. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Reduced blood flow to the legs can cause pain in the calves during walking (intermittent claudication).
3. Sciatica: Nerve compression in the lower spine can cause radiating pain in the back, buttocks, and legs.
4. Vitamin Deficiencies: Low levels of Vitamin D or B12 may lead to muscle and joint pain.

Next Steps

1. Consult a doctor to evaluate her condition with proper clinical examination and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, blood tests, or a Doppler scan (if PAD is suspected).
2. Encourage mild physical activity if tolerable, along with rest.
3. Maintain a balanced diet and hydration.

Additional Information Needed

• Does she have a history of arthritis, diabetes, or other chronic conditions?
• Are there any associated symptoms like swelling, redness, or numbness?
• Is the pain constant or worsens with specific activities?

How HexaHealth Can Help

We can connect you with experienced specialists for a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan. From managing arthritis to addressing vascular or nerve-related issues, HexaHealth ensures comprehensive care.

Hello,

Intermittent claudication, often caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD), can be managed effectively with proper treatment and lifestyle changes. The treatment plan typically focuses on improving blood flow and relieving symptoms.

Suggested Treatment

1. Lifestyle Changes

   • Quit smoking (if applicable) to improve vascular health.
   • Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
   • Regular moderate exercise, like walking, can improve circulation and reduce symptoms.
     
     

2. Medications

   • Blood thinners (e.g., aspirin or clopidogrel) may be prescribed to prevent clots.
   • Statins to manage cholesterol levels.
     
     

3. Advanced Treatments (if required)

   • Angioplasty or stent placement to open blocked arteries.
   • Bypass surgery in severe cases.
     
     

Additional Information Needed

• What symptoms are you experiencing (e.g., pain in calves, numbness, cramping)?

Hello Jeyasingh Ji,

Thank you for your question. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) indicates that there may have been reduced blood flow to the heart during the stress test. However, a normal angiogram suggests no significant blockages in the coronary arteries. It is important to note that coronary angiogram is considered the gold standard for detecting blockages in the coronary arteries. This discrepancy can occur due to several reasons:

Possible Reasons:

1. Microvascular Angina: Small blood vessels in the heart may be affected and may not show up on a standard angiogram.
2. False Positive TMT: Factors like anxiety, technical errors, or certain medications can lead to a positive TMT result even without significant blockages.
3. Coronary Spasm: Temporary narrowing of coronary arteries due to spasms can cause TMT changes.
4. Other Conditions: Issues like anaemia or electrolyte imbalance may mimic ischemic changes.

Next Steps:

1. Further Tests: A repeat TMT or a stress echocardiogram can help evaluate your heart function under stress conditions.
2. Lifestyle Management: Focus on a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management.
3. Follow-Up: Regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor your heart health.

Request for Additional Information:

To provide better guidance, could you share:

• Any symptoms during the TMT (e.g., chest pain, breathlessness)?
• Medical history (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)?
• Any medications or family history of heart disease?

Hello Ajay Ji,

Dorsal neurectomy is a surgical option that aims to reduce penile sensitivity by severing specific nerve branches. However, it is important to note that most medical guidelines do not recommend surgery as the primary treatment for PME. This is because:

• Surgery is generally considered only in specific and severe cases where other treatments have failed.
• There is a lack of robust clinical evidence supporting its long-term effectiveness.
• The procedure carries risks, including sensory loss, altered sexual experience, and complications.

Instead, first-line treatments for PME often include

• Medications (e.g., SSRIs or topical anaesthetics),
• Behavioural therapy and counselling,
• Lifestyle changes to manage contributing factors like stress or anxiety.

To provide more specific advice, could you share

1. How long have you been experiencing PME?
2. Have you tried non-surgical treatments such as medications or therapy?
3. Are there any ongoing medical conditions or previous treatments?

How HexaHealth Can Help

At HexaHealth, we ensure a thorough evaluation of your condition by connecting you with leading urologists and sexual health experts. We can assist you with:

• Comprehensive consultation to explore all treatment options.
• Expert second opinions to determine if surgery is appropriate in your case.

Feel free to reach out for further assistance. Our goal is to help you make the best-informed decision for your health.

Hello Ajay ji,

Penile Implant Surgery for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Penile implants, such as the RIGICON RIGI10, are devices surgically placed inside the penis to allow men with ED to achieve an erection. This option is typically considered when other treatments for ED have failed. The procedure involves risks and benefits that should be discussed in detail with a urologist.

Epididymal Cyst Management

Epididymal cysts are usually benign and asymptomatic. However, if the cyst is causing discomfort or other symptoms, surgical removal may be considered.

Additional Considerations

• Semen Infection: Active infections should be treated appropriately before considering surgical interventions to prevent complications.

Next Steps

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: A thorough assessment by a urologist is crucial to determine the underlying causes of your symptoms and to discuss the most appropriate treatment options.

2. Diagnostic Tests: Additional investigations, such as hormonal profiles, imaging studies, and semen analysis, may be necessary to guide treatment decisions.

Hello Saloni Ji,

Thank you for reaching out. Based on your report indicating "massive ascites" (an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity), it's essential to determine the underlying cause to recommend appropriate treatment. Ascites can result from several conditions commonly related to liver diseases, cancers, or heart and kidney conditions.

Suggested Treatment Options

1. Initial Management

   • Reduce salt intake to help manage fluid retention.
   • Medications may be prescribed to help remove excess fluid.
   • In cases of severe discomfort or difficulty breathing, a procedure such as paracentesis or an ascitic tap to drain the fluid may be necessary.

2. Treating the Underlying Cause to reduce fluid-up.

3. Regular follow-ups to monitor fluid levels and kidney function.

To provide a more personalized recommendation, could you share

• Any known history of liver disease, heart problems, kidney issues, or cancer?
• Symptoms you're currently experiencing (e.g., abdominal discomfort, bloating, difficulty breathing) with duration.
• What are the results of liver function tests, kidney function tests, or other imaging reports?

Hello Cafinia Ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern. Based on your report indicating an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tear and your three years of knee pain, it's essential to address both the chronic discomfort and the structural damage for the best outcomes.

Treatment Options

1. Non-Surgical Treatment (if not yet attempted or for partial tears):

   • Physiotherapy: To strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve joint stability.
   • Lifestyle Modifications: Reducing activities that stress the knee.
   • Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroid injections for temporary relief.
   • Knee Brace: A supportive knee brace can provide stability and reduce strain on the ligament during daily activities.

2. Surgical Treatment (recommended for complete tears or when non-surgical methods fail):

   • ACL Reconstruction Surgery involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, either from your own tissue (autograft) or a donor (allograft).
   • Arthroscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure to repair or reconstruct the ACL with quicker recovery times compared to open surgery.

Request for Additional Information

It would be helpful to know:

• When the imaging report was done—was it recent, or does it reflect the status from three years ago?
• The severity of the ACL tear (as mentioned in your imaging report or doctor's note),
• Whether you've already tried any non-surgical treatments,
