10 days after your stent still is a bit soon for strenuous activities. Sexual intercourse candy and at times, considered a strenuous activity. Normally, if you’re having some sort of Genito urinary procedure, there is about a six-week waiting period before the games can begin again, so to speak. You can ask your primary care physician, You might be able to contact the on-call physician because it’s the weekend and ask the question, or consider abstaining and not going backwards so you can go forwards.
Thank you for your question and I hope that I was able to be of service.

Why does my son punch doors when he's angry?

I would discuss this with your primary care provider and/or his pediatrician and most importantly his psychiatrist (if he doesn’t have one, he needs one). Depending on his age, he could be in the beginning of a schizophreniform or a schizophrenic type of disease. And it’s treatable early without problems. That is my recommendation and suggestion. I wish you well and safety of the upmost importance. Sometimes a little bad needs to happen for something good to occur. And bad is not intended for you to be hurt, if he gets put away for his behavior activities and actions, he would be screened appropriately, he will be tested appropriately, and then be put into the appropriate type of program. Pending drugs, psychiatric, alcohol, or both, I meant all three.
Thank you for requesting my opinion suggestion and recommendation, I wish you and your son nothing but health and happiness.

I don’t know your age, comorbid conditions, or any other issues that would affect your activities of daily living. Examples of that would be such as, do you live alone or with somebody, do you have a cane or railings available around you. Is the light sensitive to your eyes? Do you have any rigidity in your neck? Do you have any difficulty with vomiting because of the vertigo with and or without your eyes closed? These are just some of the questions that need to be answered little loan laboratory and physical examination. I would suggest that you go to the emergency department in urgent care Center or your primary care provider in order to assess this fully. You might need a neurological evaluation or an ENT evaluation.
Thank you for your request and I wish you nothing but wellness.

Polycystic Kidney Disease?

Another consideration of polycystic kidney disease, there is a familial component. There’s other issues that are associated with it, there should be other family members that are associated with it. Diabetic kidney retinopathy and diabetic kidney nephropathy are very reasonable diagnoses. Not polycystic kidney. Now, if the CAT scan showed multiple cystic areas on the CAT scan in the kidney, that’s a different story. You need to check the consistency of the fluid in order to biopsy it in order to make sure that it’s not malignant or benign. There’s still a whole lot more that is needed in order to give that diagnosis. Or I don’t have all of the information or to say that the physician is or is not correct, albeit, I would highly recommend that you go see a nephrologist.
Thank you for your question and I hope that I was able to help. Best wishes, cheers mate.

Bilateral adrenal adenomatous hyperplasia?

Concern is not the word I would use. Understanding speaking with your physician, writing things down on a notepad, and the such is what I would be focusing on. You’re welcome to get back in touch with me regarding further diagnosis and possible treatment. It’s hard to let somebody know treatment protocol without having all of the data, labs, CAT scan results and be accurate. If you ever have any questions, make sure your treating provider is aware, date, time, length, site, and more. The more you learn about what you have, the more comfortable you will feel. Knowledge is power and also will help you with treatment, care, diagnoses, follow-ups, and the rest.
God bless, take care, and I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for requesting my opinion.

Vitiligo is not necessarily something that would result and/or via causative agent for repeated cellulitis. Albeit, if you have cracks and/or breaks in the skin, you now have a portal of entry in order for cellulitis to occur. If you’re on any type of immunosuppressive agents, that would also add to your increased likelihood of getting an infection/cellulitis.

I am stopping everything cold turkey today, will I be ok?

That’s difficult to answer without knowing any other prescribed medication that you might be taking. Those, and now I’m in themselves. You should not have any significant withdrawal READ MORE
That’s difficult to answer without knowing any other prescribed medication that you might be taking. Those, and now I’m in themselves. You should not have any significant withdrawal issues. Maybe a little agitation, a little sleepiness or inability to sleep. But for the most part, they were relatively benign in regards to any type of withdrawals. Before I stop any medication, I would consult with my own physician to make sure that he or she is aware that you’re actually taking the supplements, and you’re going to be removing yourself from them. A suggestion could be that you withdraw yourself from two medications every two weeks so you’re not dropping everything all at once and “shocking your system.“
Be safe, be well, and thank you for asking me. Please always consult with your provider about anything over the counter and anything being prescribed by anything other than that primary care physician

Test result meaning?

Elevated urobilgin levels in your urine is an indication of abnormal liver function. There’s a multitude of causes that can result in that, but the most common cause is due to an increased amount of red blood cell breakdown. Urinary tract infections are not in particular associated with elevated urobilgin. Gallbladder disease, hepatitis, and a multitude of other rare illnesses can be associated with elevated urobilgin levels. Medication can also do this as well. My suggestion would be finish your course of anabiotic’s, have it retested, and if there are problems, see a urologist. Or, speak with your primary care physician and see if they want you to see a hepatologist first.
Best of luck and be well.
