What surgery is needed after a heart attack?
The answer to your question depends upon the amount of blockage in the heart blood vessels (coronary arteries). . Sometimes nothing is done and patients are medically managed. Other times, the doctors need to put a stent in to open up narrowed blood vessels. If there are too many areas of blockages and stenting is impossible or inappropriate, a Cardiac Bypass surgery is performed to replace the closed blood vessels with other open blood vessels. This surgery can often be done with robotics rather than opening up the chest. Hope this answers your questions READ MORE
Can stomach ulcers be an emergency?
Stomach ulcers can be a problem in two instances. 1. If they break through the stomach from acid, it can spill stomach acid into the belly and cause peritonitis (an infection inside the belly) 2. If the ulcers bleed heavily, one can have a hemorrhage or dangerous loss of blood. If that occurs, the stool will become black. In that case it's essential you reach out to your doctor emergently. Usually, ulcers are simply treated with a variety of medications available to decrease stomach acid and allow the ulcers to heal. TSZMD READ MORE

Condyloma Accuminatum is the medical name of these warts which are caused by the HPV virus (HSV2 is responsible for herpes) READ MORE
