Signs and symptoms of primary ovarian insufficiency are similar to those of menopause or estrogen deficiency. They include: Irregular or skipped periods, which might be present for years or develop after a pregnancy or after stopping birth control pills Difficulty getting pregnant Hot flashes Night sweats Vaginal dryness Dry eyes Irritability or difficulty concentrating Decreased sexual desire When to see a health care provider If you've missed your period for three months or more, see your health care provider to determine the cause. You can miss your period for a number of reasons — including pregnancy, stress, or a change in diet or exercise habits — but it's best to get evaluated whenever your menstrual cycle changes. Even if you don't mind not having periods, it's advisable to see your provider to find out what's causing the change. Low estrogen levels can lead to bone loss and an increased risk of heart disease.

Behcet's disease symptoms vary from person to person, can come and go or become less severe over time. Signs and symptoms depend on which parts of your body are affected. Areas commonly affected by Behcet's disease include: Mouth. Painful mouth sores that look similar to canker sores are the most common sign of Behcet's disease. They begin as raised, round lesions in the mouth that quickly turn into painful ulcers. The sores usually heal in one to three weeks, though they do recur. Skin. Some people develop acnelike sores on their bodies. Others develop red, raised and tender nodules on their skin, especially on the lower legs. Genitals. Red, open sores can occur on the scrotum or the vulva. The sores are usually painful and can leave scars. Eyes. Inflammation in the eye (uveitis) causes redness, pain and blurred vision, typically in both eyes. In people with Behcet's disease, the condition can come and go. Joints. Joint swelling and pain often affect the knees in people with Behcet's disease. The ankles, elbows or wrists also might be involved. Signs and symptoms can last one to three weeks and go away on their own. Blood vessels. Inflammation in veins and arteries can cause redness, pain, and swelling in the arms or legs when a blood clot results. Inflammation in the large arteries can lead to complications, such as aneurysms and narrowing or blockage of the vessel. Digestive system. A variety of signs and symptoms can affect the digestive system, including abdominal pain, diarrhea and bleeding. Brain. Inflammation in the brain and nervous system can cause headache, fever, disorientation, poor balance or stroke.

Most healthy people who are infected with CMV may experience no symptoms. Some experience minor symptoms. People who are more likely to experience signs and symptoms of CMV include: CMV CMV Newborns who became infected with CMV before they were born (congenital CMV). Infants who become infected during birth or shortly afterward (perinatal CMV). This group includes babies infected through breast milk. People who have weakened immune systems, such as those who have had an organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant, or those who are infected with HIV. Babies Most babies who have congenital CMV appear healthy at birth. CMV A few babies who have congenital CMV who appear healthy at birth develop signs over time — sometimes not for months or years after birth. The most common of these late-occurring signs are hearing loss and developmental delay. A small number of babies may also develop vision problems. CMV The following signs and symptoms are more common in babies who have congenital CMV and who are sick at birth: CMV Premature birth Low birth weight Yellow skin and eyes (jaundice) Enlarged and poorly functioning liver Purple skin splotches or a rash or both Abnormally small head (microencephaly) Enlarged spleen Pneumonia Seizures People who have weakened immunity If your immune system is weakened, you might experience serious problems that affect your: Eyes Lungs Liver Esophagus Stomach Intestines Brain Healthy adults Most people who are infected with CMV who are otherwise healthy experience few if any symptoms. When first infected, some adults may have symptoms similar to infectious mononucleosis, including: CMV Fatigue Fever Sore throat Muscle aches

Some people with a dAVF may not have any symptoms. However, noticeable symptoms can be characterized either as aggressive or benign. dAVF Aggressive dAVF symptoms can result either from bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) or from neurological effects of nonhemorrhaging neurological deficits (NHNDs). Aggressive dAVF symptoms dAVF Bleeding in the brain often causes a sudden headache with varying degrees of neurological disability related to the location and size of the hemorrhage. By contrast, an NHND usually develops more gradually, over days to weeks, and typically produces symptoms related to its location. NHND These aggressive symptoms can include: Difficulty walking, falls Seizures Speech or language issues Facial pain Dementia Parkinsonism Coordination issues Burning or prickling sensations Weakness Apathy Failure to thrive Symptoms related to increased pressure such as headaches, nausea and vomiting. Other dAVF symptoms can include hearing issues, such as a bruit behind the ear, also known as pulsatile tinnitus. Other symptoms include vision problems such as: Other dAVF symptoms dAVF Visual deterioration Eye bulge Swelling in the eye lining Eye-related palsies Cavernous sinus syndrome. In rare cases, progressive dementia may occur due to venous hypertension.

Shingles is characterized by pain or a tingling sensation in a limited area on one side of the face or torso, followed by a red rash with small, fluid-filled blisters. Shingles symptoms usually affect only a small section on one side of your body. These symptoms may include: Pain, burning or tingling Sensitivity to touch A red rash that begins a few days after the pain Fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over Itching Some people also experience: Fever Headache Sensitivity to light Fatigue Pain is usually the first symptom of shingles. For some people, the pain can be intense. Depending on the location of the pain, it can sometimes be mistaken for problems with the heart, lungs or kidneys. Some people experience shingles pain without ever developing the rash. Most commonly, the shingles rash develops as a stripe of blisters that wraps around either the left or right side of the torso. Sometimes the shingles rash occurs around one eye or on one side of the neck or face.

The severity of signs and symptoms of radiation sickness depends on how much radiation you've absorbed. How much you absorb depends on the strength of the radiated energy, the time of your exposures, and the distance between you and the source of radiation. Signs and symptoms are also affected by the type of exposure — such as total or partial body. The severity of radiation sickness also depends on how sensitive the affected tissue is. For instance, the gastrointestinal system and bone marrow are highly sensitive to radiation. Initial signs and symptoms The initial signs and symptoms of treatable radiation sickness are usually nausea and vomiting. The amount of time between exposure and when these symptoms develop is a clue to how much radiation a person has absorbed. After the first round of signs and symptoms, a person with radiation sickness may have a brief period with no apparent illness, followed by the onset of new, more-serious symptoms. If you've had a mild exposure, it may take hours to weeks before any signs and symptoms begin. But with severe exposure, signs and symptoms can begin minutes to days after exposure. Possible symptoms include: Nausea and vomiting Diarrhea Headache Fever Dizziness and disorientation Weakness and fatigue Hair loss Bloody vomit and stools from internal bleeding Infections Low blood pressure

Signs and symptoms of familial Mediterranean fever usually begin during childhood. They occur in bouts called attacks that last 1-3 days. Arthritic attacks may last for weeks or months. Signs and symptoms of FMF attacks vary, but can include: FMF Fever Abdominal pain Chest pain, which can make it hard to breathe deeply Painful, swollen joints, usually in the knees, ankles and hips A red rash on your legs, especially below your knees Muscle aches A swollen, tender scrotum The attacks generally resolve spontaneously after a few days. Between attacks, you'll likely feel back to your typical health. Symptom-free periods may be as short as a few days or as long as several years. In some people, the first sign of FMF is amyloidosis. With amyloidosis, the protein amyloid A, which is not typically found in the body, builds up in organs ⸺ especially the kidneys ⸺ causing inflammation and interfering with their function.

Tetralogy of Fallot symptoms vary, depending on the amount of blood flow that's blocked. Signs and symptoms may include: A bluish coloration of the skin caused by low blood oxygen levels (cyanosis) Shortness of breath and rapid breathing, especially during feeding or exercise Poor weight gain Tiring easily during play or exercise Irritability Prolonged crying Heart murmur Fainting An abnormal, rounded shape of the nail bed in the fingers and toes (clubbing) Tet spells Sometimes, babies who have tetralogy of Fallot will suddenly develop deep blue skin, nails and lips after crying or feeding, or when agitated. These episodes are called tet spells. Tet spells are caused by a rapid drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. Tet spells are most common in young infants, around 2 to 4 months old. Toddlers or older children might instinctively squat when they're short of breath. Squatting increases blood flow to the lungs.

Patellar tendinitis causes pain in the patellar tendon, which runs from the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). Pain is the first symptom of patellar tendinitis, usually between your kneecap and where the tendon attaches to your shinbone (tibia). Initially, you may only feel pain in your knee as you begin physical activity or just after an intense workout. Over time, the pain worsens and starts to interfere with playing your sport. Eventually, the pain interferes with daily movements such as climbing stairs or rising from a chair.

Basal cell carcinoma usually develops on sun-exposed parts of your body, especially your head and neck. Less often, basal cell carcinoma can develop on parts of your body usually protected from the sun, such as the genitals. Basal cell carcinoma appears as a change in the skin, such as a growth or a sore that won't heal. These changes in the skin (lesions) usually have one of the following characteristics: A shiny, skin-colored bump that's translucent, meaning you can see a bit through the surface. The bump can look pearly white or pink on white skin. On brown and Black skin, the bump often looks brown or glossy black. Tiny blood vessels might be visible, though they may be difficult to see on brown and Black skin. The bump may bleed and scab over. A brown, black or blue lesion — or a lesion with dark spots — with a slightly raised, translucent border. A flat, scaly patch with a raised edge. Over time, these patches can grow quite large. A white, waxy, scar-like lesion without a clearly defined border.

The signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis vary from person to person. If you have interstitial cystitis, your symptoms may also vary over time, periodically flaring in response to common triggers, such as menstruation, sitting for a long time, stress, exercise and sexual activity. Interstitial cystitis signs and symptoms include: Pain in your pelvis or between the vagina and anus in women Pain between the scrotum and anus (perineum) in men Chronic pelvic pain A persistent, urgent need to urinate Frequent urination, often of small amounts, throughout the day and night (up to 60 times a day) Pain or discomfort while the bladder fills and relief after urinating Pain during sex Symptoms severity is different for everyone, and some people may experience symptom-free periods. Although signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis may resemble those of a chronic urinary tract infection, there's usually no infection. However, symptoms may worsen if a person with interstitial cystitis gets a urinary tract infection.

Symptoms of sepsis Symptoms of sepsis may include: Change in mental status. Fast, shallow breathing. Sweating for no clear reason. Feeling lightheaded. Shivering. Symptoms specific to the type of infection, such as painful urination from a urinary tract infection or worsening cough from pneumonia. Symptoms of sepsis are not specific. They can vary from person to person, and sepsis may appear differently in children than in adults. Symptoms of septic shock Sepsis may progress to septic shock. Septic shock is a severe drop in blood pressure. Progression to septic shock raises the risk of death. Symptoms of septic shock include: Not being able to stand up. Strong sleepiness or hard time staying awake. Major change in mental status, such as extreme confusion.

Bad breath odors vary, depending on the source or the underlying cause. Some people worry too much about their breath even though they have little or no mouth odor, while others have bad breath and don't know it. Because it's difficult to assess how your own breath smells, ask a close friend or relative to confirm your bad-breath questions.

The signs and symptoms of granuloma annulare can vary, depending on the type: Localized. This is the most common type of granuloma annulare. The rash borders are circular or semicircular, with a diameter up to 2 inches (5 centimeters). The rash occurs most commonly on the hands, feet, wrists and ankles of young adults. Generalized. This type is uncommon and usually affects adults. It causes bumps that form a rash on most of the body, including the trunk, arms and legs. The rash might cause discomfort or itchiness. Under the skin. A type that usually affects young children is called subcutaneous granuloma annulare. It produces small, firm lumps under the skin, instead of a rash. The lumps form on the hands, shins and scalp.

Placental abruption is most likely to occur in the last trimester of pregnancy, especially in the last few weeks before birth. Signs and symptoms of placental abruption include: Vaginal bleeding, although there might not be any Abdominal pain Back pain Uterine tenderness or rigidity Uterine contractions, often coming one right after another Abdominal pain and back pain often begin suddenly. The amount of vaginal bleeding can vary greatly, and doesn't necessarily indicate how much of the placenta has separated from the uterus. It's possible for the blood to become trapped inside the uterus, so even with a severe placental abruption, there might be no visible bleeding. In some cases, placental abruption develops slowly (chronic abruption), which can cause light, intermittent vaginal bleeding. Your baby might not grow as quickly as expected, and you might have low amniotic fluid or other complications.

As stones move into your ureters — the thin tubes that allow urine to pass from your kidneys to your bladder — signs and symptoms can result. Signs and symptoms of kidney stones can include severe pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills and blood in your urine. A kidney stone usually will not cause symptoms until it moves around within the kidney or passes into one of the ureters. The ureters are the tubes that connect the kidneys and bladder. If a kidney stone becomes lodged in the ureters, it may block the flow of urine and cause the kidney to swell and the ureter to spasm, which can be very painful. At that point, you may experience these symptoms: Severe, sharp pain in the side and back, below the ribs Pain that radiates to the lower abdomen and groin Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity Pain or burning sensation while urinating Other signs and symptoms may include: Pink, red or brown urine Cloudy or foul-smelling urine A persistent need to urinate, urinating more often than usual or urinating in small amounts Nausea and vomiting Fever and chills if an infection is present Pain caused by a kidney stone may change — for instance, shifting to a different location or increasing in intensity — as the stone moves through your urinary tract.

Fecal incontinence may occur during an occasional bout of diarrhea. But for some people, fecal incontinence happens a lot. People with this condition may not be able to stop the urge to defecate. It may come on so suddenly that you can't make it to the toilet in time. This is called urge incontinence. Another type of fecal incontinence occurs in people who are not aware of the need to pass stool. This is called passive incontinence. Fecal incontinence may happen with other bowel problems, such as: Diarrhea. Constipation. Gas and bloating.

A double uterus often causes no symptoms. The condition may be discovered during a regular pelvic exam or during imaging tests to determine the cause of repeated miscarriages. Women who have a double vagina along with a double uterus may initially consult a doctor for menstrual bleeding that isn't stopped by a tampon. In these situations, the woman has placed a tampon in one vagina, but blood is still escaping from the second uterus and vagina. When to see a doctor Seek medical advice if you have a menstrual flow despite the insertion of a tampon, or if you have severe pain with menstruation or experience repeated miscarriages.

The main symptom of transient global amnesia is being unable to create new memories and remember the recent past. Once that symptom is confirmed, ruling out other possible causes of amnesia is important. You must have these signs and symptoms to be diagnosed with transient global amnesia: Sudden onset of confusion that includes memory loss, seen by a witness Being awake and alert and knowing who you are, despite memory loss Normal cognition, such as the ability to recognize and name familiar objects and follow simple directions No signs of damage to a particular area of the brain, such as being unable to move an arm or leg, movements you can't control, or problems understanding words More symptoms and history that may help diagnose transient global amnesia: Symptoms lasting no more than 24 hours and generally shorter Gradual return of memory No recent head injury No signs of seizures during the period of amnesia No history of active epilepsy Another common sign of transient global amnesia due to the inability to create new memories includes repetitive questioning, usually of the same question — for example, "What am I doing here?" or "How did we get here?"

Signs and symptoms of a poison ivy rash include: Redness Itching Swelling Blisters Difficulty breathing, if you've inhaled the smoke from burning poison ivy Poison ivy rash often appears in a straight line because of the way the plant brushes against your skin. But if you develop a rash after touching a piece of clothing or pet fur that has urushiol on it, the rash may be more spread out. You can also transfer the oil to other parts of your body with your fingers. The reaction usually develops 12 to 48 hours after exposure and lasts two to three weeks. The severity of the rash depends on the amount of urushiol that gets on your skin.

Septic arthritis typically causes extreme discomfort and difficulty using the affected joint. The joint could be swollen, red and warm, and you might have a fever. If septic arthritis occurs in an artificial joint (prosthetic joint infection), signs and symptoms such as minor pain and swelling may develop months or years after knee replacement or hip replacement surgery. Also, a loosening of the joint may occur, which causes pain while moving the joint or while putting weight on the joint. Typically, the pain goes away when at rest. In extreme cases, the joint may become dislocated.

In Reye's syndrome, a child's blood sugar usually drops while levels of ammonia and acidity in the blood rises. The liver also may swell, and fats may build up. Swelling may occur in the brain. This can cause seizures, convulsions or loss of consciousness. The symptoms of Reye's syndrome usually start about 3 to 5 days after the onset of a viral infection. This may be the flu, known as influenza, or chickenpox. Or Reye's syndrome may develop after an upper respiratory infection such as a cold. Initial symptoms For children younger than age 2, the first symptoms of Reye's syndrome may include: For children younger than age 2, Diarrhea. Rapid breathing. For older children and teenagers, early symptoms may include: For older children and teenagers, Vomiting that doesn't stop. Being sleepy or sluggish. Additional symptoms As the condition progresses, symptoms may become more serious, including: Irritable, aggressive or irrational behavior. Confusion or seeing or hearing things that aren't there. Weakness in the arms and legs or not being able to move them. Seizures. Excessive sluggishness. Decreased level of consciousness. These symptoms need emergency treatment.

Most people infected with the virus that causes polio, called poliovirus, don't get symptoms. Abortive polio About 5% of people with the poliovirus get a mild version of the disease called abortive poliomyelitis. This leads to flu-like symptoms that last 2 to 3 days. These include: Fever Headache Muscle aches Sore throat Stomachache Loss of appetite Nausea Vomiting Nonparalytic polio A more severe form of the disease, called nonparalytic polio, affects about 1% of those infected. While the illness lasts longer than a few days, it doesn't cause paralysis. Besides having more-severe flu-like symptoms, nonparalytic polio symptoms may include: Neck pain or stiffness Aches or stiffness in the arms or legs Severe headache A second phase of symptoms may follow, or a person may seem to be getting better for a few days before a second phase starts. These symptoms include: Stiffness of the spine and neck Decreased reflexes Muscle weakness Paralytic polio This most serious form of the disease is rare. The disease begins much like nonparalytic polio. But it progresses to more-severe signs and symptoms, including: Intense pain Extreme sensitivity to touch Tingling or pricking sensations Muscles spasms or twitching Muscles weakness progressing to a limp paralysis Any combination of limbs may experience paralysis. But paralysis of one leg is most common, followed by paralysis of one arm. Depending on the severity of disease, other signs or symptoms may include: Paralysis of muscles involved in breathing Difficulty swallowing Post-polio syndrome Post-polio syndrome is the appearance of new signs or symptoms or the progression of problems. This usually happens decades after having polio. Common signs and symptoms include: Progressive muscle or joint weakness and pain Fatigue Muscle wasting Breathing or swallowing problems Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea Lowered tolerance of cold temperatures

During a hot flash, you might have: A sudden feeling of warmth spreading through your chest, neck and face A flushed appearance with red, blotchy skin Rapid heartbeat Perspiration, mostly on your upper body A chilled feeling as the hot flash lets up Feelings of anxiety The frequency and intensity of hot flashes vary among women. A single episode may last a minute or two — or as long as 5 minutes. Hot flashes may be mild or so intense that they disrupt daily activities. They can happen at any time of day or night. Nighttime hot flashes (night sweats) may wake you from sleep and can cause long-term sleep disruptions. How often hot flashes occur varies among women, but most women who report having hot flashes experience them daily. On average, hot flash symptoms persist for more than seven years. Some women have them for more than 10 years.

The main sign of male infertility is the inability to conceive a child. There may be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some cases, however, an underlying problem such as an inherited disorder, hormonal imbalance, dilated veins around the testicle or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm causes signs and symptoms. Signs and symptoms you may notice include: Problems with sexual function — for example, difficulty with ejaculation or small volumes of fluid ejaculated, reduced sexual desire, or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction) Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area Recurrent respiratory infections Inability to smell Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia) Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality A lower than normal sperm count (fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or a total sperm count of less than 39 million per ejaculate)

The mildest forms of histoplasmosis cause no signs or symptoms. But severe infections can be life-threatening. When signs and symptoms occur, they usually appear 3 to 17 days after exposure and can include: Fever Chills Headache Muscle aches Dry cough Chest pain Tiredness Some people with histoplasmosis also get joint pain and a rash. People who have a lung disease, such as emphysema, can develop chronic histoplasmosis. Signs of chronic histoplasmosis can include weight loss and a bloody cough. Chronic histoplasmosis symptoms sometimes mimic those of tuberculosis. Severe histoplasmosis The most severe variety of histoplasmosis occurs mainly in infants and in people with weakened immune systems. Called disseminated histoplasmosis, it can affect nearly any part of your body, including your mouth, liver, central nervous system, skin and adrenal glands. If untreated, disseminated histoplasmosis is usually fatal.

Many people with peripheral artery disease have mild or no symptoms. Some people have leg pain when walking (claudication). Claudication symptoms include muscle pain or cramping in the legs or arms that begins during exercise and ends with rest. The pain is most commonly felt in the calf. The pain ranges from mild to severe. Severe leg pain may make it hard to walk or do other types of physical activity. Other peripheral artery disease symptoms may include: Coldness in the lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side Leg numbness or weakness No pulse or a weak pulse in the legs or feet Painful cramping in one or both of the hips, thighs or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs Shiny skin on the legs Skin color changes on the legs Slower growth of the toenails Sores on the toes, feet or legs that won't heal Pain when using the arms, such as aching and cramping when knitting, writing or doing other manual tasks Erectile dysfunction Hair loss or slower hair growth on the legs If peripheral artery disease gets worse, pain may occur during rest or when lying down. The pain may interrupt sleep. Hanging the legs over the edge of the bed or walking may temporarily relieve the pain.

If you're allergic to latex, you're likely to have symptoms after touching latex rubber products, such as gloves or balloons. You also can have symptoms if you breathe in latex particles that are released into the air when someone removes latex gloves. Latex allergy symptoms range from mild to severe. A reaction depends on how sensitive you are to latex and the amount of latex you touch or inhale. Your reaction can become worse with each additional latex exposure. Mild symptoms Mild latex allergy symptoms include: Itching Skin redness Hives or rash More-severe symptoms These include: Sneezing Runny nose Itchy, watery eyes Scratchy throat Difficulty breathing Wheezing Cough Life-threatening symptoms: Anaphylaxis The most serious allergic reaction to latex is anaphylaxis, which can be deadly. An anaphylactic (an-uh-fuh-LAK-tik) reaction develops immediately after latex exposure in highly sensitive people. However, it rarely happens the first time you're exposed. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include: Difficulty breathing Hives or swelling Nausea and vomiting Wheezing Drop in blood pressure Dizziness Loss of consciousness Confusion Rapid or weak pulse

Symptoms of depression after childbirth vary, and they can range from mild to severe. Baby blues symptoms Symptoms of baby blues — which last only a few days to a week or two after your baby is born — may include: Mood swings Anxiety Sadness Irritability Feeling overwhelmed Crying Reduced concentration Appetite problems Trouble sleeping Postpartum depression symptoms Postpartum depression may be mistaken for baby blues at first — but the symptoms are more intense and last longer. These may eventually interfere with your ability to care for your baby and handle other daily tasks. Symptoms usually develop within the first few weeks after giving birth. But they may begin earlier — during pregnancy — or later — up to a year after birth. Postpartum depression symptoms may include: Depressed mood or severe mood swings Crying too much Difficulty bonding with your baby Withdrawing from family and friends Loss of appetite or eating much more than usual Inability to sleep, called insomnia, or sleeping too much Overwhelming tiredness or loss of energy Less interest and pleasure in activities you used to enjoy Intense irritability and anger Fear that you're not a good mother Hopelessness Feelings of worthlessness, shame, guilt or inadequacy Reduced ability to think clearly, concentrate or make decisions Restlessness Severe anxiety and panic attacks Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby Recurring thoughts of death or suicide Untreated, postpartum depression may last for many months or longer. Postpartum psychosis With postpartum psychosis — a rare condition that usually develops within the first week after delivery — the symptoms are severe. Symptoms may include: Feeling confused and lost Having obsessive thoughts about your baby Hallucinating and having delusions Having sleep problems Having too much energy and feeling upset Feeling paranoid Making attempts to harm yourself or your baby Postpartum psychosis may lead to life-threatening thoughts or behaviors and requires immediate treatment. Postpartum depression in the other parent Studies show that new fathers can experience postpartum depression, too. They may feel sad, tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or have changes in their usual eating and sleeping patterns. These are the same symptoms that mothers with postpartum depression experience. Fathers who are young, have a history of depression, experience relationship problems or are struggling financially are most at risk of postpartum depression. Postpartum depression in fathers — sometimes called paternal postpartum depression — can have the same negative effect on partner relationships and child development as postpartum depression in mothers can. If you're a partner of a new mother and are having symptoms of depression or anxiety during your partner's pregnancy or after your child's birth, talk to your health care provider. Similar treatments and supports provided to mothers with postpartum depression can help treat postpartum depression in the other parent.

With appropriate treatment, cutaneous anthrax is seldom fatal. Signs and symptoms include: A raised, itchy bump resembling an insect bite that quickly develops into a painless sore with a black center Swelling in the sore and nearby lymph glands Sometimes, flu-like symptoms including fever and headache Gastrointestinal anthrax A gastrointestinal anthrax infection results from eating undercooked meat from an infected animal. It can affect your gastrointestinal tract from your throat to your colon. Signs and symptoms include: Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Headache Loss of appetite Fever Severe, bloody diarrhea in the later stages of the disease Sore throat and difficulty swallowing Swollen neck Inhalation anthrax Inhalation anthrax Open pop-up dialog box Close Inhalation anthrax Inhalation anthrax This illustration shows how the spores that cause inhalation anthrax — the most deadly form of anthrax infection — enter and affect the body.

This illustration shows how the spores that cause inhalation anthrax — the most deadly form of anthrax infection — enter and affect the body. Inhalation anthrax develops when you breathe in anthrax spores. It's the most deadly form of the disease, and is often fatal, even with treatment. Initial signs and symptoms include: Flu-like symptoms for a few hours or days, such as sore throat, mild fever, fatigue and muscle aches Mild chest discomfort Shortness of breath Nausea Coughing up blood Painful swallowing High fever Trouble breathing Shock — an acute medical condition involving collapse of the circulatory system Meningitis Injection anthrax This recently identified route of anthrax infection has so far been reported only in Europe. It's contracted through injecting illegal drugs. Initial signs and symptoms include: Redness at the area of injection (without an area that changes to black) Significant swelling Shock Multiple organ failure Meningitis

The disease can be present with the appearance of a single chancre (shown here on a penis) or many. Syphilis develops in stages, and symptoms vary with each stage. But the stages may overlap, and symptoms don't always occur in the same order. You may be infected with syphilis without noticing any symptoms for years. Primary syphilis The first sign of syphilis is a small sore, called a chancre (SHANG-kur). The sore appears at the spot where the bacteria entered your body. While most people infected with syphilis develop only one chancre, some people develop several of them. The chancre usually develops about three weeks after exposure. Many people who have syphilis don't notice the chancre because it's usually painless, and it may be hidden within the vagina or rectum. The chancre will heal on its own within three to six weeks. Secondary syphilis Within a few weeks of the original chancre healing, you may experience a rash that begins on your trunk but eventually covers your entire body — even the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. This rash is usually not itchy and may be accompanied by wartlike sores in your mouth or genital area. Some people also experience hair loss, muscle aches, a fever, a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. These signs and symptoms may disappear within a few weeks or repeatedly come and go for as long as a year. Latent syphilis If you aren't treated for syphilis, the disease moves from the secondary stage to the hidden (latent) stage, when you have no symptoms. The latent stage can last for years. Signs and symptoms may never return, or the disease may progress to the third (tertiary) stage. Tertiary syphilis About 15% to 30% of people infected with syphilis who don't get treatment will develop complications known as tertiary syphilis. In the late stage, the disease may damage the brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones and joints. These problems may occur many years after the original, untreated infection. Neurosyphilis At any stage, syphilis can spread and, among other damage, cause damage to the brain and nervous system and the eye. Congenital syphilis Babies born to women who have syphilis can become infected through the placenta or during birth. Most newborns with congenital syphilis have no symptoms, although some experience a rash on the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. Later signs and symptoms may include deafness, teeth deformities and saddle nose — where the bridge of the nose collapses. However, babies born with syphilis can also be born too early, may die in the womb before birth or can die after birth.

Common symptoms of esophagitis include: Difficulty swallowing. Painful swallowing. Swallowed food becoming stuck in the esophagus, also known as food impaction. Chest pain, particularly behind the breastbone, that occurs with eating. Heartburn. Acid regurgitation. In infants and young children, particularly those too young to explain their discomfort or pain, symptoms of esophagitis may include: Feeding difficulties, such as irritability, arching of the back and not wanting to eat. Failure to thrive. Chest or belly pain in older children.

Signs and symptoms of calciphylaxis include: Large purple net-like patterns on skin Deep, very painful lumps that ulcerate creating open sores with black-brown crust that fails to heal — typically in skin areas with high fat content, such as the stomach and thigh, although they can occur anywhere Infections from wounds that don't heal Causes The exact cause of calciphylaxis is unknown, but recent studies have revealed that most people with the condition have abnormalities in blood-clotting factors. Blood-clotting factors are substances in your blood that help stop bleeding. These abnormalities can lead to small blood clots forming more often than they normally would. In addition, people with calciphylaxis have an imbalance in the metabolism of calcium. This causes calcium to be deposited in the smallest parts of the arteries (arterioles), which eventually leads to the formation of blood clots in the arterioles. Blood clots can cause fat tissues and skin to be deprived of oxygen and nourishment.

Swimmer's ear symptoms are usually mild at first, but they can worsen if your infection isn't treated or spreads. Doctors often classify swimmer's ear according to mild, moderate and advanced stages of progression. Mild signs and symptoms Itching in your ear canal Slight redness inside your ear Mild discomfort that's made worse by pulling on your outer ear (pinna or auricle) or pushing on the little "bump" in front of your ear (tragus) Some drainage of clear, odorless fluid Moderate progression More-intense itching Increasing pain More-extensive redness in your ear Excessive fluid drainage Feeling of fullness inside your ear and partial blockage of your ear canal by swelling, fluid and debris Decreased or muffled hearing Advanced progression Severe pain that might radiate to your face, neck or side of your head Complete blockage of your ear canal Redness or swelling of your outer ear Swelling in the lymph nodes in your neck Fever

Signs and symptoms of CAH vary, depending on which gene is affected and the level of enzyme deficiency. The imbalance of hormones the body needs to function may mean too little cortisol, too little aldosterone, excess androgens or a combination of these imbalances. CAH Classic CAH Signs and symptoms of classic CAH may include: CAH Insufficient cortisol. Classic CAH causes the body to produce an insufficient amount of cortisol. This can cause problems maintaining normal blood pressure, blood sugar and energy levels, and cause problems during physical stress such as illness. Adrenal crisis. People with classic CAH can be seriously affected by a lack of cortisol, aldosterone or both. This is known as an adrenal crisis, and it can be life-threatening. Atypical genitalia. Female infants may have atypical genitalia appearance, such as an enlarged clitoris that may resemble a penis, and a partially closed labia resembling a scrotum. The urinary opening (urethra) and the vagina may be only one opening instead of two separate openings. The uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries usually develop typically. Male infants usually have typical-appearing genitals. Excess androgen. An excess of the male sex hormone androgen can result in short height and early puberty for both males and females. Pubic hair and other signs of puberty may appear at a very early age. Severe acne also may occur. Excess androgen hormones in females may result in facial hair, excessive body hair and a deepening voice. Altered growth. Rapid growth may occur during childhood with an advanced bone age. Final height may be shorter than average. Fertility issues. These can include irregular menstrual periods, or not having any at all, and having infertility problems in females. Fertility issues can sometimes occur in males. Nonclassic CAH Often there are no symptoms of nonclassic CAH when a baby is born. Some people with nonclassic CAH never have symptoms. The condition is not identified on routine infant blood screening and usually becomes evident in late childhood or early adulthood. Cortisol may be the only hormone that's deficient. CAH CAH Females who have nonclassic CAH may have typical-appearing genitals at birth. Later in life, they may experience: CAH Irregular menstrual periods, or not having any at all, and problems getting pregnant Masculine characteristics such as facial hair, excessive body hair and a deepening voice In both females and males, signs of nonclassic CAH may also include: CAH Early appearance of pubic hair and other signs of early puberty Severe acne Rapid growth during childhood with an advanced bone age and shorter than expected final height

Although your body can harbor the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, your immune system usually can prevent you from becoming sick. For this reason, doctors make a distinction between: Latent TB. You have a TB infection, but the bacteria in your body are inactive and cause no symptoms. Latent TB, also called inactive TB or TB infection, isn't contagious. Latent TB can turn into active TB, so treatment is important. Active TB. Also called TB disease, this condition makes you sick and, in most cases, can spread to others. It can occur weeks or years after infection with the TB bacteria. Signs and symptoms of active TB include: TB Coughing for three or more weeks Coughing up blood or mucus Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing Unintentional weight loss Fatigue Fever Night sweats Chills Loss of appetite Tuberculosis can also affect other parts of your body, including the kidneys, spine or brain. When TB occurs outside your lungs, signs and symptoms vary according to the organs involved. For example, tuberculosis of the spine might cause back pain, and tuberculosis in your kidneys might cause blood in your urine.

Normally when you blink, your eyelids distribute tears evenly across your eyes, keeping the surfaces of the eyes lubricated. These tears drain into small openings on the inner part of your eyelids (puncta). If you have ectropion, your lower lid pulls away from your eye and tears don't drain properly into the puncta. The resulting signs and symptoms can include: Watery eyes (excessive tearing). Without proper drainage, your tears may pool and constantly flow over your eyelids. Excessive dryness. Ectropion can cause your eyes to feel dry, gritty and sandy. Irritation. Stagnant tears or dryness can irritate your eyes, causing a burning sensation and redness in your eyelids and the whites of your eyes. Sensitivity to light. Stagnant tears or dry eyes can irritate the surface of the cornea, making you sensitive to light.

With a peripheral nerve injury, you may experience symptoms that range from mild to seriously limiting your daily activities. Your symptoms often depend on which nerve fibers are damaged: Motor nerves. These nerves regulate all the muscles under your conscious control, such as those used for walking, talking and holding objects. Damage to these nerves is typically associated with muscle weakness, painful cramps and uncontrollable muscle twitching. Sensory nerves. Because these nerves relay information about touch, temperature and pain, you may experience a variety of symptoms. These include numbness or tingling in the hands or feet. You may have trouble sensing pain or changes in temperature, walking, keeping your balance with your eyes closed, or fastening buttons. Autonomic (aw-tuh-NOM-ik) nerves. This group of nerves regulates activities that are not controlled consciously, such as breathing, heart and thyroid function, and digesting food. Symptoms may include excessive sweating, changes in blood pressure, the inability to tolerate heat and gastrointestinal symptoms. You may experience a range of symptoms because many peripheral nerve injuries affect more than one type of nerve fiber.

Tics — sudden, brief, intermittent movements or sounds — are the hallmark sign of Tourette syndrome. They can range from mild to severe. Severe symptoms might significantly interfere with communication, daily functioning and quality of life. Tics are classified as: Simple tics. These sudden, brief and repetitive tics involve a limited number of muscle groups. Complex tics. These distinct, coordinated patterns of movements involve several muscle groups. Tics can also involve movement (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). Motor tics usually begin before vocal tics do. But the spectrum of tics that people experience is diverse. Common motor tics seen in Tourette syndrome Simple tics Complex tics Eye blinking Touching or smelling objects Head jerking Repeating observed movements Shoulder shrugging Stepping in a certain pattern Eye darting Obscene gesturing Nose twitching Bending or twisting Mouth movements Hopping Common motor tics seen in Tourette syndrome Simple tics Complex tics Simple tics Complex tics Simple tics Complex tics Eye blinking Touching or smelling objects Head jerking Repeating observed movements Shoulder shrugging Stepping in a certain pattern Eye darting Obscene gesturing Nose twitching Bending or twisting Mouth movements Hopping Eye blinking Touching or smelling objects Eye blinking Touching or smelling objects Head jerking Repeating observed movements Head jerking Repeating observed movements Shoulder shrugging Stepping in a certain pattern Shoulder shrugging Stepping in a certain pattern Eye darting Obscene gesturing Eye darting Obscene gesturing Nose twitching Bending or twisting Nose twitching Bending or twisting Mouth movements Hopping Mouth movements Hopping Common vocal tics seen in Tourette syndrome Simple tics Complex tics Grunting Repeating one's own words or phrases Coughing Repeating others' words or phrases Throat clearing Using vulgar, obscene or swear words Barking Common vocal tics seen in Tourette syndrome Simple tics Complex tics Simple tics Complex tics Simple tics Complex tics Grunting Repeating one's own words or phrases Coughing Repeating others' words or phrases Throat clearing Using vulgar, obscene or swear words Barking Grunting Repeating one's own words or phrases Grunting Repeating one's own words or phrases Coughing Repeating others' words or phrases Coughing Repeating others' words or phrases Throat clearing Using vulgar, obscene or swear words Throat clearing Using vulgar, obscene or swear words Barking Barking In addition, tics can: Vary in type, frequency and severity Worsen if you're ill, stressed, anxious, tired or excited Occur during sleep Change over time Worsen in the early teenage years and improve during the transition into adulthood Before the onset of motor or vocal tics, you'll likely experience an uncomfortable bodily sensation (premonitory urge) such as an itch, a tingle or tension. Expression of the tic brings relief. With great effort, some people with Tourette syndrome can temporarily stop or hold back a tic.

The main symptom of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a very fast heartbeat (100 beats a minute or more) that may last for a few minutes to a few days. The fast heartbeat may come and go suddenly, with stretches of typical heart rates in between. Some people with SVT have no signs or symptoms. SVT Signs and symptoms of supraventricular tachycardia may include: Very fast (rapid) heartbeat A fluttering or pounding in the chest (palpitations) A pounding sensation in the neck Weakness or feeling very tired (fatigue) Chest pain Shortness of breath Lightheadedness or dizziness Sweating Fainting (syncope) or near fainting In infants and very young children, signs and symptoms of SVT may be difficult to identify. They include sweating, poor feeding, pale skin and a rapid pulse. If your infant or young child has any of these symptoms, ask your child's care provider about SVT screening.

Some people carry C. difficile bacteria in their intestines but never become sick. These individuals are carriers of the bacteria and may spread infections. Signs and symptoms usually develop within 5 to 10 days after starting a course of antibiotics. However, they may occur as soon as the first day or up to three months later. Mild to moderate infection The most common signs and symptoms of mild to moderate C. difficile infection are: Watery diarrhea three or more times a day for more than one day Mild abdominal cramping and tenderness Severe infection People who have a severe C. difficile infection tend to become dehydrated and may need to be hospitalized. C. difficile can cause the colon to become inflamed and sometimes form patches of raw tissue that can bleed or produce pus. Signs and symptoms of severe infection include: Watery diarrhea as often as 10 to 15 times a day Abdominal cramping and pain, which may be severe Rapid heart rate Dehydration Fever Nausea Increased white blood cell count Kidney failure Loss of appetite Swollen abdomen Weight loss Blood or pus in the stool C. difficile infection that is severe and sudden, an uncommon condition, may also cause intestinal inflammation leading to enlargement of the colon (also called toxic megacolon) and sepsis. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues. People who have these conditions are admitted to the intensive care unit.

Sleep terrors differ from nightmares. The dreamer of a nightmare wakes up from the dream and may remember details, but a person who has a sleep terror episode remains asleep. Children usually don't remember anything about their sleep terrors in the morning. Adults may recall a dream fragment they had during the sleep terrors. Sleep terrors generally occur in the first third to first half of the night, and rarely during naps. A sleep terror may lead to sleepwalking. During a sleep terror episode, a person may: Begin with a frightening scream or shout Sit up in bed and appear frightened Stare wide-eyed Sweat, breathe heavily, and have a racing pulse, flushed face and dilated pupils Kick and thrash Be hard to awaken, and be confused if awakened Be inconsolable Have no or little memory of the event the next morning Possibly, get out of bed and run around the house or have aggressive behavior if blocked or restrained When to see a doctor Occasional sleep terrors aren't usually a cause for concern. If your child has sleep terrors, you can simply mention them at a routine well-child exam. However, consult your doctor if sleep terrors: Become more frequent Routinely disrupt the sleep of the person with sleep terrors or other family members Lead to safety concerns or injury Result in daytime symptoms of excessive sleepiness or problems functioning Continue beyond the teen years or start in adulthood
