00:00 Meanwhile, here is our internist and certified health and wellness doctor, Doc Oye
00:04 to answer some of your messages for health on our Facebook page.
00:11 So let's welcome him. Good morning, Doc!
00:14 Good morning, Connie, and good morning to our listeners.
00:17 For our first question, Doc Oye,
00:19 it's easy to get tired and tired of our sender.
00:24 The doctor said that he has COPD.
00:27 What is it, Doc, and is there a remedy or medicine that can help him?
00:32 COPD means Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
00:36 Commonly, we call it emphysema or bronchitis.
00:41 It's very similar to asthma, but the most common cause is prolonged urination.
00:49 Because if we urinate, nicotine will destroy the capacity of our intestines.
00:55 And it often affects the retention of our intestines,
00:59 what we call carbon dioxide, or CO2.
01:03 So it often manifests as being easily tired, easily exhausted,
01:08 and sometimes it also has a part that doesn't disappear.
01:12 So one of the most effective things to do here is to give some medicines in the form of inhaler
01:18 so that the airway can be improved.
01:22 But another thing that can help is undergoing what we call pulmonary rehabilitation.
01:28 There are also types of breathing techniques that are called,
01:32 especially when it's documented in your blood, that the rate of your carbon dioxide increases.
01:38 So there are types of breathing that you can do or breathing exercises
01:42 that can help to lower the rate of carbon dioxide.
01:48 Sometimes, there is a program that does pulmonary rehabilitation exercises
01:53 to strengthen our chest muscles.
01:57 We call it chest physiotherapy.
02:00 So if that's really going to persist, it's good to consult your pulmonologist
02:06 and to do a program of rehabilitation to help strengthen the capacity of your chest muscles
02:16 that we use in our breathing.
02:19 Back to Doc Oye, the question is from Vic Beltran.
02:22 He was diagnosed by a surgeon with diabetes mellitus and chronic wounds.
02:27 What does it mean, Doc?
02:30 And what can we do to prevent it from spreading?
02:34 And what should he eat?
02:36 Vic, diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases that we call.
02:42 A large part of this is the aspect of our nutrition or the quality of nutrition
02:47 including our weight problem, especially if you have a lot of weight.
02:54 Diabetes is a chronic disease that, aside from the medicines that are given to lower our blood sugar,
03:01 exercise, enough sleep, and sufficient and balanced nutrition will help a lot.
03:08 Especially the nutritious nutrition that can address one of the most common reasons why we have diabetes.
03:16 This is what we call insulin resistance.
03:20 Insulin resistance is a condition of our body where all the carbohydrates you eat that become sugar
03:29 cannot enter our cells, which is why it cannot convert into energy.
03:33 And if it cannot enter, it will store our body in the form of fats,
03:39 which is why our blood sugar will remain high.
03:43 Sometimes, this will cause a lot of symptoms, such as vomiting, sudden weight gain, or always feeling hungry.
03:51 And this also affects our immune system of diabetes.
03:55 That's why if you have a wound that doesn't heal easily and takes a long time to heal,
04:01 it can be one of the possible presentations of diabetes.
04:05 The good thing about this, Vic, is that you can reverse this or what we call diabetes in remission.
04:11 But you need to do a lot of lifestyle interventions and nutrition interventions to do this.
04:19 Meanwhile, back to our Facebook question, Doc Oye, from Ped Medina.
04:23 "Is there a plant medicine that can help with frequent urination? What are the other remedies?"
04:30 The symptoms of frequent urination, we should know because there are a lot of germs.
04:36 So it's not good to use a plant medicine to address the symptoms of frequent urination.
04:44 That's not the right approach to our feelings.
04:47 Especially if you feel frequent urination, there are a lot of germs.
04:51 It can be an infection.
04:54 Like I said, diabetes can also present frequent urination.
05:00 Or if you have a problem with your bladder, it can also present frequent urination.
05:07 So it's good to know the root causes of frequent urination.
05:13 Especially if you urinate for hours.
05:16 You might also have bladder irritability.
05:19 The symptoms also depend on your age.
05:22 But the most important thing is if the symptoms are an infection or what we call a urinary tract infection.
05:28 You should really consult a doctor and we should not look for a plant medicine.
05:33 We should treat the infection through the right antibiotics if it is present.
05:40 And this is the reason why you have frequent urination.
05:44 And for our last question, Doc Oye, from Eli Ronas.
05:47 Is it dangerous to have stones in the abdomen?
05:50 And what should we do?
05:52 Well, having stones in the abdomen can be asymptomatic or it can not be felt.
05:59 It's usually only known incidentally when ultrasound is done.
06:03 But if the stones in the abdomen cause symptoms, especially if it is triggered by your food.
06:10 So especially if you have a heavy or a lot of food and it causes pain in the stomach and it is still running to the right.
06:18 Well, the best solution there is to remove the stones in the abdomen through surgery.
06:26 Because if this stone will cause inflammation and will cause redness of your eyes.
06:32 Because it will cause inflammation of your eyelids.
06:35 That's where it will be dangerous. That's what we call ascending cholangitis.
06:40 But if this is asymptomatic, you can help that it will not grow and it will not cause frequent urination.
06:48 Or it will grow even more if you change the pace of your eating.
06:54 But this will be dangerous if it is symptomatic.
06:57 Especially if it causes a lot of pain in the stomach and it is still running to the right.
07:02 So if that's the case, I will advise you to consult a general surgeon to know how much and how big.
07:09 And if your stone in the abdomen can cause inflammation here and cause what we call ascending cholangitis.
07:17 Thank you so very much, Doc Oye for answering our questions from our hearts.
07:23 Just send your Facebook questions and maybe you will answer our doctors of the country next week.
