Page 2-B SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS August 25 1977 Your Health By George C. Thosteson. M.l). Piles not controlled can recur Dear Dr. Thosteson: Please send me your booklet on hemorrhoids.

I'm enclosing a quarter and stamped, addressed envelope for it. My husband was referred to a surgeon for his piles, but surgery was not recommended for him. lie was told to stay off work a while and take three hot baths a day and lay in bed, which he did. They went away and the doctor said they wouldn't come back. They did.

Now he cannot sit comfortably. Will he need surgery now? Mrs. O.K. This sounds like a success story turned sour. It sounds as though your husband got.

some good advice. Most adults are troubled to some extent by piles (or hemorrhoids), which are varicose veins in the rectal area. In some cases radical treatment (surgery) is not required to keep them under control. The surgeon wisely chose the conscrvation approach therapy of rest, hot baths, etc. the doctor said they would not come back, he undoubtedly meant they wouldn't if he continued to avoid things that can bring them back.

I suspect your husband did not follow through. Piles do tend to recur, but this chance can be minimized by avoiding straining at stool, constipation. and long periods of standing. The hot baths might have been continued even after the problem subsided, perhaps on a reduced schedule. Now, your husband should return to the doctor who diagnosed the piles earlier.

It they have passed the point of no-return, it could be that surgery is the only alternative. Perhaps injection to "dry out" the wills is still possible. And there is always the chance that he will be started on the same program of control that worked before for him. The booklet you asked for might help him tn carrying out such a program Vasectomy Dear Dr. Thosteson: My husband had a vasectomy four years ago after our second child was born I now want to adopt, but my husband doesn't want to.

I want him to go through the operation to reverse the vasectomy so we can have a baby. Is it possible to extract sperm from his testicles so that I can be artifieaially inseminated Mrs. L.M Prior to attempting reversal of a vasectomy surgeons usually perform a biopsy to study the vitality (or lack of it) in sperm still being produced. It is usiiallv lower alter the vasectomv. This is not done lor artificial insemination.

Some men do have some of their ''perm frozen prior to a vasectomy as a hedge against the future. Chest pains Dear Doctor: Is an occasional tight feeling in the chest an indication of anything? 1 haven't gone to a doctor for several years, and can't bring myself to go without more definite information. I am 69. .1 AT' I hope by the time you read this you will have seen your doctor for an investigation of these pains. The classic sign of an impending heart attack is a discomfort in the chest.

Some describe it as pain, others as a tightness in the center of the chest beneath the breast bone. In an actual attack the sensation may last as long as an hour. However, about a third of those who eventually have full-scale attacks report these earlier, but ignored warning pains that were more fleeting lasting only a moment or two. No plivsician would think you silly for reporting such significant symptoms, especially at your age. So.

reporting such significant symptoms, especially at your age So, without panic, go to the doctor, whether you have any repeat episodes or not.

The series is loosely based on the movie of that name which wasn't a big box office smash, but was notable for its fantastic sets and special effects. If you saw the movie, probably wondering who Rem was. Wonder no more Rem in the movie. In the series, Logan and his girl friend wander out of the doomed city and, each week, they find some new settlement.

At the first of these, they come upon an android civilization, and Rem is the most sophisticated of the androids and goes with them the rest of the Interesting Moffat isn't quite sure yet how lie'll play Rem. He does know that, because Rem is so advanced. technologically, he will speak and think and react as a human would. That makes him more interesting to play than if he were, say, a monotone-talking, non- reacting assemblage of nuts and bolts. Moffat himself is that strangest of creatures Englishman who has lost his English accent, lie says that is because of two considerations.
