How does rheumatoid arthritis cause childlessness?

Hi doctor,

I am a 39-year-old female, and I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I am concerned about the inflammation and its impact on my joints. Can you explain how inflammation occurs in rheumatoid arthritis and what treatment options are available to manage it? I have heard that rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes impact fertility. Can you explain the connection between rheumatoid arthritis and childlessness? What options are available for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis who want to start a family?

Is it possible to correct lazy eyes in a 4-year-old?

Hello doctor,

My son is almost four years-old. I got his routine eyesight check-up with dilation today. From the right eye, he could not read the last three lines even with the lenses they put to check vision, and his number is cylindrical minus 2.5. From the left eye, he could see 6/7.5, and his number is minus 0.75. The doctor told me to get him on Saturday again, and he will give him spectacles. Also, does he have lazy eyes? If he had lazy eyes, can this be treated with spectacles? Can he see 6/6? Is lazy eye a severe problem? My only question is, why is he not able to see even with lenses?

Is it safe to spray mosquito repellent near my son's eyes?

Hi doctor,

My son pressed a herbal mosquito repellant spray close to his eyes. I am not sure whether the liquid directly sprayed into his eyes. We immediately washed his eyes and nose as he complained about a burning sensation. But soon it was over, he can see things and recognize colors. Will this have any impact in the long run?
