There are several causes, so it depends. It’s best to consult your gynecologist. But yes, some are dangerous like cancer.
There are no studies yet to be published in the medical society about alkaline water. Alkaline water simply assures you that you are drinking water within the alkaline pH range, not acidic. To be honest, I would still drink regular water. Unless maybe you skip meals often or is very fond of eating sour/acidic food. :)
Hi there! Cold intolerance is a symptom of hypothyroidism. Feeling of fatigue or weakness is also a symptom of this condition. It doesn’t explain the tingling sensations you have though. Patients with hypothyroidism usually have weight gain and have a feeling of lethargy. I advise you to have your thyroid hormone levels checked because if it indeed Hypothyroidism, it can be easily managed, unless you already had it for so long. You don’t have an anterior neck mass/lump by any chance?
How long has your period become prolonged and heavy? You have menorrhagia. The normal period is 3-7 days, and usually just consume around 3 soaked pads a day. It depends when your symptom started. Is your period still coming in at regular intervals? If it is already irregular, then you have menometrorrhagia. These are both under an umbrella diagnosis which is “abnormal uterine bleeding”. There are several causes for these, from structural, to hormonal, to hematologic, to metabolic. It is best for you to consult a gynecologist so you can be worked up on. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
Hello ~ Nope, astigmatism, in itself, won’t cause one to go blind. Astigmatism means that the surface of your retina is shaped irregularly, hence there is a refractive error, causing your vision to become blurred. This is usually diagnosed when your eyes need different grades of correction lenses or when one is near/far sighted. You just have to go to an ophthalmologist and it can be diagnosed by using direct/indirect ophthalmoscopy. Astigmatism can be corrected using glasses/contact lenses or surgery. I advise you to consult an eye specialist because this condition worsens over time, especially if neglected :)
Chapped lips is cause by internal (dehydration) and external (hot, cold weather, acidic food, etc) factors. You can increase your water intake to help hydrate your lips. Avoid drinking too much juices and eating sour/spicy food as they contribute more to the dryness. You can also apply petroleum jelly on your lips at night to lock in the moisture while you’re sleeping. Avoid licking your lips because saliva is acidic.
“Kung kaya mo pang lumaban, lumaban ka…pero kung pagod ka na, hindi kita pipigilan. Ayaw kitang makitang naghihirap..parang pinipiga ang puso ko…”
Sounds like some lines lifted from a drama series, right? But when I heard this from my patient’s wife today while I was monitoring his vital signs…I was trying so hard not to cry. Then it hit me, things like this do happen in real life….
The ringing you’re experiencing is called “tinnitus”. You need further audiologic tests to confirm and ascertain its etiology because there are a lot of possible causes for it. It may or may not lead to deafness, depending on the reason behind it so better go to the doctor soon.
Are you sure it’s bone pain? Not joint or muscle pain? Because generalized bone pain is rare..it is usually due to bone metastasis which I doubt you have. Where is the pain in particular? When is it aggravated? When is it relieved? Sorry, I have too many questions. Please tell me more about it so I could advise you better.
