From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "When should I be worried about a vaginal discharge?"

Genital/Urinary, Obstetrics and Gynecology, , , , , , ,

VagDCchart

With the incidence of bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections, one would think the easy answer would be “always”, but it’s not quite that simple.
Some females normally have a discharge, and part of ‘being worried’ or not is knowing what’s normal for you. Discharges that are foul-smelling, colored, bloody, or accompanying genital rashes or sores should definitely be evaluated. Certainly, new discharges should be evaluated in an effort to help you understand if this is something physiologic or abnormal.

psychosocial

 
Our latest reader submission strikes at the heart of the age-old concern about the relationship between our environment and our mind. It is important to appreciate that mental illness is often influenced by external factors, such as environmental stimulants. When we describe psychosocial disorders, we’re talking about mental illness precipitated by these factors. These factors include everything from family, religion, friends and cultural considerations. Yes, the situations you place yourself in can be hazardous to your health!

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "My doctor said I was a high-risk asthmatic. What does that mean?"

General Health and Wellness, Respiratory/Lungs, , , , , , , ,

asthmarisk

If you have an asthmatic in your life, it’s important to know that asthmatics die.  The risk of death is higher in certain asthmatics. If you or your loved one is in this subset of asthmatics, you really must be diligent in avoiding those triggers that cause asthma attacks. You must also be attentive and consistent in taking your ‘controller’ medicines.
These circumstances define a high risk asthmatic:

  • A history of sudden severe asthma attacks
  • Prior need to be intubated (placed on a respiratory aka breathing machine)
  • Prior admission to a hospital ICU (intensive care unit)
  • Greater than one admission or two ER visits in the past year
  • An ER visit within the last month
  • Needing to use two or more inhalers per month
  • Current or recent oral steroid use
  • Illicit drug use
  • Concomitant cardiopulmonary or psychosocial disease

Straight, No Chaser: Ruptured Eardrums

Head/Eyes/Ears/Nose/Throat, , , , , , , , , ,

tmperf_c_dTMPerforation-2ndAOM

The manufacturers of Q-Tips used to run a commercial in which they said “Never place anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.”  I wonder why they stopped the commercial, because it pretty much summarizes how I feel about the situation.
Perforated tympanic membranes (aka ruptured eardrums) are holes in the sheet-like tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. They are not a lot of fun. Because the ear is responsible for both hearing and balance, rupture can cause decreases of both. Common symptoms include pain, decreased hearing and bleeding.
Several different things can causes this, including the following:

  • infections (otitis media)
  • an imbalance between the two sides of the eardrum (if it becomes too severe, you’ll suffer what’s known as barotrauma), as seen in diving and air travel
  • direct trauma from placing objects in your ear (Put those cotton swabs and down!) or from a severe blow to the head/face
  • blast injuries (called acoustic trauma), caused by sudden, loud noises (e.g. explosions and gun shots; what’s actually happening here is a sound wave is damaging the ear drum)

Most tympanic membrane perforations heal spontaneously.  If the injury causing this was penetrating, your physician may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist within 24 hours.  You must be careful to avoid getting water in the ear. You won’t typically receive antibiotics for a ruptured eardrum unless the rupture is due to infection or forceful water injury, such as is seen in water skiing.

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "Why do I get those big tender knots in my neck?"

cervical lymph-node swelling from a posterior lateral squamouscell head_lymphnodes2

First of all, thank you for the continued reader submissions.
Cervical (that is, neck) lymph nodes (small oval organs located in various parts of the body that help the body fight infections; aka ‘swollen glands’) are the topic of the day.  Cervical adenopathy (aka lymphadenopathy) is the presence of swollen, tender lymph nodes in the neck.  They can represent the following:

  • The body’s response to a primary infection in the neck;
  • The body’s response to a local infection around the neck (such as the ears or throat); and/or
  • The body’s response to diseases widespread throughout the body (such as with mononucleosis, tuberculosis, and other diseases, such as HIV).

Just remember that infections are by far the most common cause of tender lymph nodes in the neck and get them checked if your other symptoms are concerning enough to you.  Of course, you could always contact your personalized health consultant at www.SterlingMedicalAdvice.com as well, and we’ll help you work through your concerns.

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "What is a spinal tap, and why is it done?"

Hematology & Oncology/Blood Disorders/Cancer, Infectious Disease, Medical Treatment, Neurology, , , , , , ,

LP

A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed to obtain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF – the naturally occurring fluid that bathes the spinal cord) from the spinal column, usually to evaluate for the presence of infection (as in meningitis), but it can also detect other conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome or cancer involving the spinal cord. In some instances, a lumbar puncture is a treatment; medicines and anesthetics can be placed in the cerebrospinal fluid via lumbar puncture, or it can be used to lower the pressure in the brain caused when too much fluid is present.
Here’s a video that would be helpful to view before you or a family member has a lumbar puncture. It is provided courtesy of Cure Search for Children’s Cancer.

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "Why would my doctor tell me not to take a decongestant?"

Head/Eyes/Ears/Nose/Throat, , , , , , , , , ,

decon

Thanks for all the reader submissions on Blog and FAQ ideas. Here’s my first response.
Based on how ubiquitous cold and flu remedies are, you would think they were the safest medications known to man. That’s actually not the case and in some instances can be quite far from the truth. The reason for this is simple. Decongestants work by manipulating blood vessels. Specifically, they narrow nasal blood vessels, creating more room for air flow and mucous drainage while reducing swelling and other effects of inflammation. This is a major part of how you treat upper respiratory viral infections like colds and the flu; antibiotics don’t work against viruses.
Unfortunately, if you have certain medical issues, you should not take decongestants. Here’s a list situations that can make it dangerous to take decongestants:

  • Allergies to pseudo-ephedrine
  • Children under age 4
  • Diabetes
  • Glaucoma
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Prostate disease
  • Pregnant
  • Breast feeding women
  • Thyroid disease

So … even if it’s an over the counter preparation, if you’re not sure, head over to the pharmacist before you make that purchase at the store. Of course, you can always connect with your SterlingMedicalAdvice.com consultant as well.

dry socket(1)Dry_socket2

Ok.  Some of you are thinking “What is dry socket?”. Anyone who has ever suffered from it knows it all to well.  This as well as so many other dental conditions are best dealt with by appropriate hygiene (brushing and flossing) so it never gets to this point. But when it does…
‘Dry socket’ is another name for alveolar osteitis.  This is an extremely painful condition of the mouth that usually occurs within a week (say 2-5 days most frequently) after you’ve had a tooth extracted. Normally a small clot forms to protect the exposed bone.  Anything you do to cause the loss of this protective clot can lead to inflammation and sometimes infection of that bone.
Treatment involves mostly addressing the pain. Your dentist will likely rinse the socket to eliminate any offending particles and apply a medicated dressing. Prescription pain medications often are given. These measures pretty promptly bring relief, so if your pain after having had an extraction seems especially severe, get in for an evaluation promptly.

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "What is Roid Rage?"

General Health and Wellness, Mental Health, Personal Training, Toxicology/Drugs, Musculoskeletal System, , , , , , , ,

roidrageroid rage1

Excessive anabolic (muscle-building) steroid use has many well-known side effects, but one of particular interest is the development of behavioral changes.  ‘Roid rage’ (short for steroid rage) is often an early symptom of heavy anabolic steroid use.  Symptoms start off with hyperactivity and excitability (mania) that is followed by recklessness and aggressiveness.  Users also discover a diminished need for sleep.  Curiously, for some (e.g. athletes), this ‘side effect’ is a desired effect.  It gives some users the extra motivation needed to work out harder and perform more aggressively during competition.

Unfortunately, roid rage is followed by a downer phase.  The depths of the depression experienced sometimes leads to suicidal behavior.  Forewarned is forearmed.  There’s a better way.

Straight, No Chaser: Why Those Hairs Go Gray

General Health and Wellness, Skin/Dermatology, , , , , , , ,

gray-hair

This is a lot simpler than people make it.  Gray hair is a happenstance of life.  At the end of the day, genetic, racial and chemical considerations determine when you go gray.  Let’s briefly look at each and dispel a myth or two along the way.
Chemical: Your hair consists of two parts, a shaft (the visible part above the skin line) and the root (the portion located below the surface). The root contains hair follicles, which contain color-producing cells called melanin (yes, the same melanin that contributes to skin color). Any disruption in melanin production or damage to the hair follicles, such as folliculitis and especially the normal effects of aging, can cause graying. This graying may be physiologic and timely, or it can be premature. An addition consideration to graying can be the physiologic build up of hydrogen peroxide. This naturally occurring chemical actually bleaches the hair.
Racial: Bet you didn’t know different racial and ethnic groups go gray at different rates on average. Whites start graying in their mid-30s. Asians begin graying in their late 30s. African-Americans seem to begin graying in their mid to late 40s. Most people will have noticeable and significant graying by age 50.
Genetic: Simply put, graying is predetermined based on your genetic composition. You should already have a good idea if and when you’re going gray by looking at your parents and grandparents.

And now… two questions rolled into one.

Doesn’t stress make you gray?  Isn’t that why Presidents go gray while in office?

  • Presidents go gray in office because they’re at the age when people go gray while in office.
  • The stress you’re thinking of (‘freaking out’) isn’t the same as physiologic stress, which is a disruption of the body’s normal functions. Such biological stresses can cause disruption of any bodily function. This is why so much confusion exists around ‘stress’. When scientists or your physicians are describing the effects of stress, it’s much deeper than your anxiety attack, which isn’t going to turn you gray overnight.

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "What’s a PSA test, and why is it important?"

Genital/Urinary, Health Prevention, , , , , , , , , ,

GU

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein that is secreted from the prostate gland. It is important marker of disease. The higher the PSA level, the more likely it is that prostate cancer is present (this is not the same as saying that if your PSA level is high, you have or will have prostate cancer). It is useful and important as a screening tool and a monitor for prostate cancer recurrence after treatment or response to treatment.
According to the American Cancer Society, the following groups of men should consider having a PSA test.

  • Those at age 50 if they are at average risk of prostate cancer
  • Those at age 45 if they are at high risk
  • Those at age 40 if they are at very high risk (those with first-degree relatives who had prostate cancer at an early age)

Please discuss the value of prostate cancer screening with your physician. There is a fair amount of controversy about the test, which is why having the test done is a ‘consideration’ instead of a must. The specifics of this can be discussed with your physician or personal healthcare consultant at SterlingMedicalAdvice.com.

Straight, No Chaser: Bye-Bye, Trans Fats

Cardiology/Heart, General Health and Wellness, Health Prevention, , , , , , , , , ,

Toxic-Trans-Fat

In news you can use: the Food and Drug Administration has decided to eliminate trans fats from the American diet. What does this mean? Why should you care? Read on…
Substances known as trans fats, trans fatty acids or partially hydrogenated oils serve the purpose of making liquid vegetable oils more solid. You know and love them because they make food taste good. It’s largely why some of you love and crave foods that are deep fried. What types of foods am I describing? Think about French fries, pizza, pies, doughnuts, pastries, microwave popcorn, cookies and popcorn creamer. Are you using stick margarine? Not for long! Enjoy it while it lasts – or better yet, don’t.
Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels. Eating trans fats increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
This move will eliminate 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths due to heart disease per year. However,  you know what won’t die? Your taste buds. Options always exist, and food manufacturers will find healthier ways to make food just as tasty as it has always been. By the way, you can do the same even now with just a little effort.
Before you start thinking about whether you can ingest trans fats in moderation, the answer is no. Trans fats occur in sufficient amounts naturally that you’re already eating the limits of what would be acceptable. Adding industrially made trans fats simply adds to your risk of disease and avoidable death.
Now if we can only get you to exercise…

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "Is skin glue as good for stitches for laceration repair?"

Skin/Dermatology, Trauma, , , , , , , , ,

laceration_chindermabond_chinlac0

So your child has been cut.  S/he is writhing in pain and anxiety and lives in deathly fear of needles.  The doctor tells you that you have options.  Your child can be strapped down, sedated or… the laceration can be repaired with some variety of ‘medical glue’?  Let’s briefly look at what it means to use a skin adhesive for laceration repair.

  • The main advantage to skin glue is that it is quickly applied and virtually painless to use if applied correctly.  Occasionally a small amount of burning will be felt after application.
  • There are no needles, papooses, or putting the child to sleep.
  • The main disadvantage to skin glue is that sometimes the cosmetic result may not be as good as with stitches, especially if the laceration is in an area of high skin tension or if it’s in an area where the child can pick the wound apart.  It is very important to understand that if you can’t control your child to the extent to if s/he picks at the wound, you can’t come back and get stitches later.
  • In short, in most instances it’s as good of an option as stitches.

From the Health Library of SterlingMedicalAdvice.com: "If I stop smoking, what does this do to my risk for heart disease and stroke?"

Cardiology/Heart, General Health and Wellness, Hematology & Oncology/Blood Disorders/Cancer, Neurology, , , , , , , ,

Stop Smoking

There are immediate and longterm benefits to smoking cessation that extend beyond just lowering your risk for lung cancer.  Consider the following regarding lowering your risk for heart disease and stroke, and make the change to make yourself healthier.

  • Within 1 year of smoking cessation, your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke has dropped to less than half that of a smoker.
  • Within 5–15 years after stopping, your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker.
  • At 15 years after stopping, your risk of coronary heart disease is that of a person who has never smoked.

Straight, No Chaser: Bell's Palsy

Head/Eyes/Ears/Nose/Throat, Neurology, , , , , , , , ,

bellspalsy

Bell’s palsy is a paralysis of the facial nerve, caused by inflammation or other irritation to the nerve.  This paralysis causes muscle weakness in one side of the face.
Patients often find themselves unable to close one of the eyelids or wrinkle one side of the forehead/face.  The eyes may become dry due to inability to blink.  One side of the mouth may drool and droop.  The sense of taste may change.  Sounds may become louder, and headache may develop.

Bell’s palsy is treated with steroids and artificial tears.

The prognosis for individuals with Bell’s palsy is generally very good.  The extent of nerve damage determines the extent of recovery.  Improvement is gradual and recovery times vary.  With or without treatment, most individuals begin to get better within 2 weeks after the initial onset of symptoms and most recover completely, returning to normal inside of 3-6 months.  For some, the symptoms may last longer, and in a few cases, the symptoms may never completely disappear.
By the way, in case you’re wondering about the picture, the right side of the picture (the left side of the patient’s face) is the side affected.  He can neither wrinkle his forehead nor close his eye, both of which are functions of the cranial nerve.  And no, this is not a stroke.

MrBurns

Well, yes, he’s a Burns, but I don’t think that’s what we’re addressing today.  Let’s look at some burns of the traumatic variety.

burn-classification

What’s a first degree burn?
A first-degree burn (superficial thickness) only involves the first (outer) layer of skin, and that layer is still intact.  Symptoms include pain, redness, and swelling.
What’s a second degree burn?
A second-degree burn (partial thickness) involves not only the first layer of skin (which has been completely burned through) but the second layer (the dermis) as well.  Symptoms include severe pain, redness, swelling, and blistering.
What’s a third degree burn?
A third-degree burn (full thickness) involves all skin layers and may also involve fat, muscle, bone, and nerves. The skin may appear charred or leathery, or it may appear dry and white.  These burns are severe enough that complications involving the lungs–from smoke inhalation–may require breathing support. These burns tend not to be as immediately painful due to destruction of nerves. Third degree burns cause permanent tissue damage.
How are burns treated?
Depending on the severity and degree of the injury, burns are often treated with tetanus infection immunization, topical antibiotics to prevent infection, vigorous fluid replacement, and sometimes skin grafting.
