Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com I have read your query and understand your concern. I understand how difficult and overwhelming this situation is for you and your family. Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most treatable cancers, even when diagnosed during pregnancy. In stage 2B disease with symptoms like night sweats and weight loss, treatment should not be delayed unnecessarily, as the disease can progress and symptoms may worsen. Chemotherapy is avoided during the first trimester when possible.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your worries are valid. Such issues are quite frequent and significant for women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who plan to conceive. It is true that RA itself can affect the hormone levels and inflammation within the body. In some cases, this can lead to menstrual irregularities or painful periods.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com I hope you are doing well. A recurrence of seizures after a long period of seizure freedom should be a red flag for a full reassessment. There are a number of possibilities including sleep deprivation, increased stress, changes in the effectiveness of drugs or other underlying neurological changes. Not getting enough sleep is a frequent trigger for seizures, particularly for those who have epilepsy. Definitely inconsistent lack of sleep (4 hrs per night) can lower the seizure threshold and increase the risk of breakthrough seizures.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I hope you are doing well. The symptoms you are describing, symmetric swelling and pain in the hands and wrists, prolonged morning stiffness, warmth of the joints, fatigue, and the small nodules at the elbows, are very suggestive of inflammatory arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis is high on the list, especially with your family history. The important point is that we do not rely on a single test to make the diagnosis; we combine your clinical examination with laboratory markers and imaging.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand the concern. The symptoms that have been mentioned, such as intense thirst, extremely frequent urination, weight loss, although there was an increase in appetite, fatigue, vomiting, dizziness, breath with a sweet odor, and a level of glucose in the blood above 400 milligrams per deciliter, strongly indicate that type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has just been diagnosed. Your pediatrician is right in his suggestion of urgent hospitalization. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system destroys the body's own beta cells that produce insulin.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I understand your concern.Finding multiple cysts in both of your kidneys on imaging is indeed very suggestive of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, especially when they are present in both kidneys rather than just one. Many people with this condition feel completely well at the time of diagnosis, and kidney function can remain normal for many years, sometimes decades.It does not automatically mean that you will develop kidney failure.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for reaching out. From what you have described- needing to rush to the bathroom in the morning, cramping that comes and goes in waves, and several loose stools, along with normal stool test results and a low fecal calprotectin level- this strongly suggests irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) rather than an infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Let us understand these first. IBS-D (irritable bowel syndrome - diarrhea type) is a condition where the gut is overly sensitive and moves too quickly, causing loose stools, urgency, and cramping.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com I understand your concern. I hope you are doing well, and what you are experiencing is a very well-recognized pattern in psoriatic arthritis: improvement during pregnancy followed by a significant flare in the postpartum period. Pregnancy shifts the immune system into a more anti-inflammatory state, which is why many women feel much better, but after delivery, the immune balance reverses, and disease activity can rebound, sometimes more aggressively than before. Unfortunately, once this postpartum flare has established itself, it usually does not simply settle down on its own with time or hormone normalization, and active treatment is necessary to bring the inflammation back under control. Your current picture shows the following: A very high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and CRP (C-reactive protein).
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com I am sorry to hear about your grandmother's vision difficulties. Symptoms that you have mentioned, straight lines becoming distorted (metamorphopsia), as well as blurriness in your central vision, are very characteristic of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In the wet form of this disease, the abnormal blood vessels develop beneath the retina and start leaking fluid. Nowadays, the administration of intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs (vascular endothelial growth factor) is believed to be the most effective treatment of the condition and is commonly applied to treat the problem. Medicines such as Ranibizumab, Aflibercept, and Bevacizumab inhibit the development of abnormal vessels and leakage.
