I've been nursing a bump on the back of my head for a few days now, after slipping in the bathroom and hitting a tiled wall. I've noticed the swelling is almost gone, but the area still hurts when I touch it. Should I be concerned about a potential internal injury or is it pretty normal for this kind of thing? Would love some advice on whether it's wise to get it checked out.

- Misoprostol administration: You've taken 600mcg of Misoprostol.
- Ultrasound findings: Remaining products of conception (POC) detected.
Next Steps
- Consult a healthcare provider: Discuss your situation with a doctor or obstetrician.
- Surgical management: Consider a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure to remove remaining POC.
- Medical management: Alternatively, your healthcare provider may prescribe additional Misoprostol or other medications to help expel the remaining tissue.
- Follow-up ultrasound: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound to ensure the uterus is empty and the abortion is complete.
Important Considerations
- Infection risk: Incomplete abortion can increase the risk of infection. Monitor for signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or heavy bleeding.
- Bleeding and cramping: Expect some bleeding and cramping during the completion of the abortion process.

View allMy niece has been experiencing moments where she blacks out for a second or two every now and then. It happens really randomly and even during her sleep. She almost collapses for a brief moment and then regains control. She has no idea when it'll happen next, and we're really worried about it. What kind of specialist should we see for this? Could this be a sign of something more serious in the future?
Your niece's symptoms sound like they could be related to fainting or syncope, which is a brief loss of consciousness caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. Given the random nature of the blackouts, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions. I'd recommend visiting a pediatric cardiologist, as they specialize in heart problems in children, which could be a potential cause. Additionally, a pediatric neurologist might also be helpful in case the issue is related to the nervous system. While most cases of fainting are harmless, it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially since your niece is experiencing these episodes randomly and even during sleep.

My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but it's really important to speak with a healthcare professional to discuss your options. A doctor can guide you on the best approach for your condition and provide the support and treatment you need. Please reach out to a medical professional for proper advice and care.
