@som Hello, Iron supplements can help treat anemia headaches, but too much iron in the body can also cause headaches. You also may feel grumpy, have headaches, and have trouble concentrating. Most people begin to feel normal after a few weeks of taking iron pills. Also, Headaches caused by IDA are treated by increasing your iron level with iron pills. Once your iron level is back to normal, your red blood cells will be able to carry the proper amount of oxygen to your brain. But you need to take the pills for several months to build up the iron supply in your body. It is better to talk to a doctor. Thanks!

@ghosh Hi, There are two main surgeries to treat knock knees: A distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) and a DFO with tibial osteotomy. Distal femoral osteotomy, or DFO, surgery involves creating a cut in the femur just above the knee to reshape the bone and realign the entire limb. It depends on what is needed to correct. If we are talking about ligament damage e.g. ACL tear or cartilage damage then yes. If the consideration is for a knee replacement, then no - that is not done until later in life (50 years old and up). Thank You!!

@linnetah Hello, Hiccup is one of the common side effects of chemotherapy. Intractable hiccups seriously affect patients' rest and eating, reduce the quality of life, and increasingly attract the attention of oncologists.

It is possible that the hiccups may be related to his renal function which needs to be looked into.

@eiv Possible association between osteoarthritis and increased risk for dementia. Frequent age-related comorbidities and physical inactivity in osteoarthritis patients increase risk for Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and cognitive impairment. Dementia and osteoporosis have similar risk factors, which is the likely explanation for this finding. However, these findings should alert health care providers caring for an osteoporotic patient to assess for signs and symptoms of dementia, and refer for screening if suspected. Early identification of dementia may improve outcomes overall. These findings should be studied further in order to optimize the care of this population.

@neona Hello, olive oil, lemon juice, and water these 3 ingredients can radically boost your immune system, detox your body, cure constipation and improve your health. Olive oil is often touted for its potential health benefits, which include lowering cholesterol and helping to balance blood sugar levels. The oil may also help treat constipation. The fats in olive oil can help smooth the insides of the bowel, making it easier for stools to pass. It can also help the stool hold in more water, keeping it softer. One tablespoon of olive oil, taken on an empty stomach in the morning, may relieve constipation for many healthy adults. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice along with some extra virgin olive oil gives you a leg up on your daily vitamin C, an antioxidant nutrient that helps the immune system work properly, but more importantly, helps the body to maintain a balanced pH. Constipation refers to the slow movement of stools through your bowels. You may only have a few bowel movements per week. Consult a doctor before trying this remedy. Thanks!!

@ence Hello, Unfortunately, the existing hair follicles have matured and treatment with oral contraceptive pills will not eliminate any existing hair on the upper lip, chest, and back. The polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common disorder affecting menstruating women. It is characterized by multiple cysts within a woman’s ovaries and is caused by a hormone imbalance that results in the overproduction of testosterone. This excess of testosterone often causes severe acne and hair growth on the upper lip, chest, and back of women (hirsutism). Treatment with oral contraceptive pills restores the balance of hormones and curbs the overproduction of testosterone. This should stop the acne and prevent further hirsutism. Thanks!!

@umalati Hello, For treating mild acne with rosacea, topical metronidazole is usually the first-line treatment and has proven to be a very effective and cheap way to control the red spots.

Rosacea is a chronic acne-like skin condition that predominantly affects adults with fair skin.

@prabha Hello, Cramping and backaches are common within the first few hours to a few days after IUD insertion. You may get some relief from both by taking OTC pain relievers, using a heating pad, or taking a hot bath. Spotting is also common and should stop within 3 to 6 months. it is common to experience heavy or irregular bleeding for the first 3-6 months after insertion of the copper IUD. The first few weeks can be the worst for bleeding and cramping and other PMS-like symptoms. As your body is adjusting after your placement or removal, copper IUD side effects sometimes include irregular periods. Unfortunately, bleeding in between periods with copper IUDs is quite normal. Please take the help of your doctor. Thanks!
