Could venous malformation show changes when the body is in zero gravity?
Hi doctor, I did an MRI last year and they found a vein abnormality suddenly. They told me that it remains dilated in infratentorial. They told me that it does not show any symptoms. I lived my life without noticing it. Is this thing can be affected by gravity? Can I have any danger when my body experience zero gravity? I have a normal size ventricular system. There is presence of congenital venous malformation with multiple dilated veins achieving medusa head appearance at the right occipital level draining to a manifold and then at homolateral sinus. Median structures remain in place. There is an absence of parenchymal signal abnormality or abnormal enhancement. There is an absence of intra or extra-axial hemorrhaging stigmas. There is presence of permeable duremerian sinuses. I conclude my issue that I have a developmental venous abnormality at the right occipital level draining into a manifold and then into the right lateral sinus without any associated abnormality.

My mom has persistent UTI and E.coli infection for almost a year. Can she take Nitrofurantoin?
Hi doctor,
I require your kind advice regarding my mom's medication. She is 53-years-old. You see, my mom had persistent UTI and E-coli infection for almost a year. Her health deteriorated due to which she had a fall last year and got fractures in her spine and right shoulder, for which she was operated with screws and rod insertions, i.e., dorsal spine fixation and proximal humerus plating. However, she had incidents of granulation tissue pouring out on the spine suture area twice after the initial surgery, due to which she had been operated on two more times to sort out the problem. The reason for the granulation tissue pouring out was described as being due to high UTI and E-coli infection. She took IV antibiotics for seven weeks and was also prescribed Nitrofurantoin 100 mg for a year which would completely eliminate her UTI and E-coli. My mom, however, had it only for five months and quit. It has been four months now since she quit, and now suddenly, she is experiencing frequent urination, overactive bladder, and urine incontinence for three days. Also, there is inflammation during urination. Kindly suggest to me if there is no harm if she starts Nitrofurantoin 100 again and for the remaining seven months or any other period?

Why do I get frequent nose bleed?
Hello doctor,
I am a 27-year-old female. This query is all about my frequent nose bleeding. It started when I was in grade school, I got nose bleed when it is very hot, or when the air is dry and it only happens once a month or once every two months.
For the past three months, I got frequent nosebleed for two to four times a week. I am doing the basic list to prevent it such as, lean a bit forward, pinch the nose, put ice packs, and use petroleum jelly. But the thing is, it is stressing me out. I panic when I see blood, I have asthma as well and I do not think that petroleum jelly can help me with it.
I am taking vitamin C (500 mg) per day, and I use Seretide 250 (Diskus) for my asthma. Please help.
