Is there any surgery for migraines?
Thanks for your question – there is no surgery for migraines, or headaches in general, unless they are caused by a mass/tumor, or abnormal blood vessel (and these are pretty rare causes of most migraines). On the good side, there are new medications coming out that are very effective at both turning off the headache and preventing new ones. Your doctor can review if those are an option for you! Good luck. READ MORE
Prescription medicine?
300 mg of metoprolol (either long acting or immediate release) is above the usual recommended dose for that medication. Your doctor may have some specific reasons for using a dose that high, and it can be used in higher doses if the proper monitoring is done to ensure the heart rhythm is not altered at this dose. I would not increase the dose over 200 mg without specific guidance and follow up from your primary care provider or cardiologist. READ MORE
What does spleen: no splenomegaly mean?
Splenomegaly is a fancy way of saying “enlarged spleen.” “No splenomegaly” in a radiology report usually means the spleen is normal size and shape for a given person’s age/body size. And it’s a reassuring thing to see in a report! READ MORE
Can radiologists diagnose ovarian cysts?
Simple answer: yes, radiologists can diagnose ovarian cysts! Depending on the size and type of cysts, they can be seen on an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI of the abdomen and pelvis. Rarely, they can be seen on a simple X-ray, but good visualization of the cyst(s) usually requires one or more of the above tests. Each test has advantages and disadvantages. An ultrasound does not require an IV or oral contrast agent, has no radiation associated with it, and usually just requires a full bladder during the test. The best view of the ovaries does require both an abdominal probe (similar to an ultrasound when pregnant – probe moving across the abdomen), and a transvaginal probe (the ultrasound viewing instrument is inserted into the vagina similar to a pelvic exam). A CT scan may require contrast, does have radiation associated with it, but otherwise, you just lay down and let the scanner do the work. An MRI has no radiation, is noninvasive, but is the most expensive and generally used only if another test didn’t give enough information. The radiologist diagnoses the cyst based on its appearance, location and size. Based on these three factors, they can suggest possible causes for the cysts and recommendations for further workup. In order to treat the cyst, you would have to see your primary care physician to review options. OB/GYN’s are specialists in the primary care of women as well as the surgical experts on women’s reproductive organs. You may require a referral to an OB/GYN (if you aren’t already seeing one) for further management. LuAnn Moraski, DO READ MORE
