I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 71 seconds  

Dulcolax is not a stool softener. It is a stimulant laxative. Generic name is biscodyl and while Dulcolax brand is not available in Thailand there is a locally made equivelent called Biscodyl YSP. Same thing. The Senna I recommended is also a stimulant laxative but because it is classified as herbal medicine it can be legally sold outside of pharmacies whereas Biscodyl cannot.

As above. Also a myth that colonic irrigations or use of laxatives will get rid of them. The "white strings" seen after a colonic is not a worm. It is mucosal lining of the colon which is best left in place. Sennokot/Senna is not fiber. It is a laxative.

Per thread in the Visa forum, to do 90 day report online you now need your last TM30 to show same address.

Way beyond my ability to interpret. Needs to be read by the specialist who ordered the test and in the context of the clinical picture.

A nonsensical post has been removed.

Any pharmacy (staffed by actual pharmacist) will have bisoprolol. It is not expensive. And doxazosin is not an adequate alternative especially for cardiac purposes. I suggest you not follow local hospital recommendations when it comes to your heart. Adhere strictly to what cardiologist at Red Cross Hospital prescribes.

Do not allow your BP to get anywhere near that high, it is angerous. I would go back to 50 mg a day since 25 seems not to adequately control it (and indeed is too low to have much effect) With regard to the low readings are you staying well hydrated? And do you have any known heart condition?

To be clear -- you mean a travel policy to cover you while in France on a temporary trip? For what duration?

Rutnin is definitely best place for eye problem. But whlle eye condition should be ruled out, quite possible this is just allergy or reaction to air pollution.

Note that may mean you still have urinary retention. Which puts you at risk of urinary infections.

Typo. Of some sort.

More likely your bladder had just become de-sensitized to fullness.

They will surely have ond or more urologists, all hospitals do, but I can't recommend a specific one. Really suggest you see the doc I recommended at Bangkok hospital. As you have already gotten a PSA only likely test is a urinalysis which in inexpensive. Whetever you go, don't buy medication at the hospital, these meds ard sold without prescription at pharmacies.

I have not heard of people being asked to show return ticket if traveling from Thailand but technically IATA database says you need it if you don't already have a visa. If you want to be completely surdle of no hassle get an e-visa. Extremely easy to do. Siem Reap these days has more range in restaurants and accommodation. If you will be there after the end of the rainy season a visit to one of the islands is worthwhile.

Yes a one time 30 day extension of tourist visa is possible and almost any travel agent can do it for you. If you are going to get a tourist visa can get it online. Costs about $5-6 dollars more but saves a whole page in your passport and time on entty. You can also get ordinary (non-tourist) visa on arrival and then get longer (up to 1 year) extension for retirement if aged over 55y. This allows mutiple entries.

Where jn Thailand are you located?

P.S.Forgot that old stand-by, prunes. Available on most supermarkets. Try 3-5 pieces daily along with more fiber.

There are 2 classes of medication used for BPH: 1. Alpha blockers like tamsulosin, doxazosin and other "...osins". These work by relaxing the neck of the bladder making it easier for urine to pass. Takes effect almost at once. These drugs tend to lower blood pressure so if you are onBP medx may need to adjust dosage. 2. Finasteride/dutasteride and related drugs reduce prostate size over time. Takes 6 months or more to see results but will help prevent progressiln of yhe condition. Usual to take both tipes of drug. There are preparations that combine them into 1 tdblet but this is more expensive than taking two separate pills.

I recommend yhe Senna tablets you can get in any 7-11 in the section with Thai herbal treatments. Not for daily use either, but gentler than ducolax. You should also adjust your diet to get more fiber, or take a fiber supplement. even just a bowl of oatmeal daily will help.

Many -- I would even guess most -- AN members are on medication for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) which is most llkely what you have (but need sowcialidt to xonfigm). In terms of CM urologists I havd had good feedback on https://www.bangkokhospital-chiangmai.com/en/doctor/dr-wittawat-rawiyotai-m-d/

As you get older the risks of the procedure vs potential benefits change. Most doctors would agree that for a 79 year old if all prior colonoscopies were normal, can cease doing them. But you could do periodic flstool tests for occult blood.

No, they don't. They do their best to just translate what the doctor or other personnel have said. I have occasionally seen them privately give money saving tips to the patient. The main drawback is that the translator/facilitators are usually not medically trained so do not always fully grasp what doctor said/meant, so detailed discussions around diagnosis, treatment alternatives, prognosis etc can be difficult. Not a big issue for English speakers as doctors willing and able to go into that level of detail and shared decision- making almost always speak English well. But can be a big problem for speakers of other languages. In particular, Cambodian, Lao, Vietnamese Bangladeshi, Nepalese etc often get only the most cursory (and sometimes garbled) explanations.
