Hi lybrate-user, many patients have congenitally single kidney. They usually have no problem. However, it is important to take certain precautions. 1. Avoid drugs that can injure kidneys, eg. Pain killers (like diclofenac, brufen etc.), some antibiotics like gentamicin, amikacin etc. 2. Prevent lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension that can damage kidneys by taking healthy diet and walking regularly. 3. Protein intake needs to be reduced only in certain stages of chronic kidney disease. In your situation, you can take 50 to 60 grams protein per day. 4. Please do ultrasound of kidneys and get serum creatinine & urine protein test done every year. 5. Reduce animal proteins, drink 3-4 lite fluid per day and increase fruits and vegetables. Wish you good health,

Myotonia congenita (Thomsen disease and Becker type) What is myotonia congenita? Myotonia congenita is an inherited myopathy, a disease that causes problems with the tone and contraction of skeletal muscles. It doesn’t cause muscle atrophy (shrinkage); instead, it sometimes can cause muscle enlargement and increased muscle strength. There are two types of myotonia congenita: Becker-type myotonia is the most common form, while Thomsen disease is a very rare, relatively mild form. What are the symptoms of myotonia congenita? The main problems faced by people with this disease are delayed muscle relaxation and muscle stiffness, typically provoked by sudden movements after rest. What causes myotonia congenita? This disease is caused by mutations in the gene for a chloride channel that’s necessary for shutting off the electrical excitation that causes muscle contraction. The Becker type is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning it is produced by defective genes contributed by both parents. The Thomsen type is autosomal dominant, meaning it is produced by a defective gene contributed by one parent. What is the progression of myotonia congenita? Myotonia congenita has its onset in early to late childhood and does not progress. Someone who has myotonia congenita can lead a long, productive life, and can even excel at sports where strength is more important than agility. Homoepathy is excelling in treating these types of congenital diseases. You need a detailed case history taking to select an individulaised genetic constitutional remedy.

Yes it is true In semen analysis along with sperm no. and motility, fructose presence is also analysed The absence of fructose may mean either the vas deferens are obstructed at or before the ejaculatory ducts, or the seminal vesicles are absent.

Having some fluid around testis is not abnormal. Sometimes with time that fluid gets absorbed. If fluid continues in abnormal quantity around testis, then surgery is advisable. The urgency of surgery is desired more in case of a congenital hernia.

Is your vision good? Surgery on muscles can bring the null point to the front, so that you do not need to tilt head as much. It will not improve the vision though. Both eyes can be operated together in the same sitting. May cost you around 35 to 40K. Insurance may not reimburse this amount, as it is a squint procedure. Gives fairly good results.
