Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Stenting for an inoperable carcinoma of the stomach is ideal, as the patient can eat normally. But, it has been more than a week since stenting without any improvement, so it is better to be investigated. Repeat endoscopy would be ideal to know if there is any block that can be relieved or to look for any displacement.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the reports submitted (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it is clear that your father has prostate cancer. From the MRI, we can know the exact size of the tumor. It will also help in staging, and we can get to know if there is any spread to the nearby lymph nodes. As the bone scan is normal, there are no distant metastases.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As it has been only 10 days since your surgery, I suggest you wait for a few more days and see your surgeon if necessary. It is quite likely that there may be a small collection of fluid in the region which may get absorbed or may need aspiration. It is quite unlikely to have a recurrence so soon unless the surgery did not go well. If the swelling appears on coughing or straining it may suggest a recurrence.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. It would be very difficult for me to recommend anything without a clinical examination. The extent of wound infection would determine whether you could go or not. A mild infection that does not require a daily dressing will not hinder you from going. But if the infection is deeper and discharging pus, then it would not be advisable to go on such a trip.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is unfortunate that you have to undergo repeated surgeries due to the infection. A combined therapeutic approach, including surgical drainage, debridement, and prolonged treatment (more than three months) with combined antimicrobial agents, has been used in managing cases of atypical mycobacteria. In some cases, based on clinical assessment, successful treatment requires aggressive debridement of all infected subcutaneous tissues and skin. Surgery does play a major role in these kinds of infections and may have to be repeated.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per the reports (attachment removed to protect patient's identity) submitted, I understand that it was a major accident. She has multiple injuries to various parts. Usually, with such injuries, it is difficult to isolate each problem and provide a solution without seeing the patient, as multiple organs are involved. As it has been 10 days since her accident, I assume that she is clinically stable, by which I mean that her pulse rate and blood pressure are normal or near normal.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your description, I fear that you have metastatic breast cancer. Usually, the surgery is done after 4 cycles of chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer. As you have undergone 5 cycles, you must be on palliative chemotherapy to control the disease. Usually, it is reassessed every 3 cycles to know the response, and treatment is based on it, which may include a change in the type of chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, etc.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I understand your concern.Having severe pain and diarrhea post-surgery is a point of concern. From your description, there are two possibilities. Firstly, it may be a complication from surgery that needs to be clinically examined by the operating surgeon, evaluated, and managed accordingly.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com I read your query and can understand your concern. From what you have described, it seems your first episode of left leg pain was caused by your ankle sprain (talofibular ligament), which had healed. The pain you are experiencing now is most likely related to a similar issue. At 33, as a non-smoker, it is very unlikely that you have peripheral artery disease. The decreased blood flow seen on your arterial Doppler could have been a temporary vessel spasm, not a disease.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.The most common causes for a wound at the operated or treated site is - osteoradionecrosis and recurrent cancer. From your description, it seems like the wound is an effect of chemoradiation, more specifically radiation. We call it osteoradionecrosis, a complication of radiation to the mandible bone. The mandible is also affected in the radiation field for all cheek cancers.
