I've got a bit of a sensitive issue and not sure how to handle it. Lately, I've been having these intrusive thoughts about my mom, and it's really distressing me. I find myself feeling aroused in the evenings and imagining things I definitely shouldn't be about her. I'm worried if this is normal or if theres something wrong with me. It's really confusing and I just want to understand why this is happening and how I can stop these thoughts. Could you help me make sense of this?

Jaw Surgery for Class 3 Malocclusion (Underbite)

Safety and Risks

  1. General safety: Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a common and generally safe procedure.
  2. Long-term risks: As with any surgery, there are potential long-term risks, such as:
    • Nerve damage (temporary or permanent)
    • Bone resorption or relapse
    • Dental problems (e.g., tooth decay, gum recession)
    • TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders
    • Scarring or facial asymmetry
  3. Age consideration: At 23, you are considered a young adult, and the surgery can be performed with minimal risk.
  4. Growth consideration: Since your facial growth is likely complete, the surgery can provide stable long-term results.

Important Considerations

  1. Choose an experienced surgeon: Select a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with extensive experience in orthognathic surgery.
  2. Discuss risks and benefits: Thoroughly discuss the potential risks and benefits with your surgeon to make an informed decision.
  3. Follow post-operative instructions: Adhere to your surgeon's instructions to minimize complications and ensure optimal healing.

Next Steps

  1. Schedule a consultation: Meet with an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon to discuss your treatment options.
  2. Get a second opinion: Consider seeking a second opinion from another qualified surgeon to confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm planning on moving to Kanchipuram from the U.S. this June and I've been taking Vyvanse for my adult ADHD. I'm a bit anxious about how to continue this medication once I'm in India. Could you guide me on finding a doctor there, what the costs might be for appointments and medication, and what other treatment options are available?

I'm glad you're taking proactive steps to manage your nausea. _Doxinate Tablet_ Doxinate is a combination of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) and Doxylamine, an antihistamine. It's commonly used to alleviate nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. _Taking Half a Tablet Daily_ While it's understandable that you want to manage your nausea, taking half a tablet daily without consulting your doctor may not be the best approach. _Potential Concerns:_ 1. _Doxylamine dosage_: Taking half a tablet daily may lead to inconsistent Doxylamine levels in your body, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. 2. _Interactions with other medications_: Doxinate may interact with other medications you're taking, including prenatal vitamins. Taking half a tablet daily may increase the risk of adverse interactions. _Recommendation:_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your nausea management plan with your doctor. They can help you determine the best course of action and adjust your medication regimen if needed. 2. _Follow the recommended dosage_: Adhere to the recommended dosage on the label or as advised by your doctor. 3. _Explore alternative nausea management options_: Your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as acupressure bands, ginger, or other natural remedies, to help alleviate your nausea. Remember, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
