Patient discussion about sensation.

Q. What causes a warm sensation in your foot I have a warm sensation at sole of left foot lasting 5-10 second From time to time I get a warm sensation at the sole of my foot lasting about 5-10 seconds. Started about 2 months ago.

A. Frankly? Although it's tempting to try to give you diagnosis here, these kinds of complaints are so varied and can point to so many different directions I would refrain from doing it. In my opinion you should see a doctor. It's impossible to give a diagnosis based on one line. Sorry...

Q. Does vaginal infection harm the fetus? What if itching sensation is present with infection? I am expectant mom and wish to know whether vaginal infection is common in pregnancy. Does vaginal infection harm the fetus? What if itching sensation is present with infection?

A. White discharge is common in all the women and you can expect more discharge during pregnancy than before. If the discharge is clear and without odor there is nothing to worry about. Some women also experience the infection with little irritation, odor and increased discharge. It never harms the baby but protects the mom. If the discharge is yellow or green in color with bad odor and irritation in and out, you need to visit the doctor and get it clarified.
