Hiccups are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm — the muscle that separates your chest from your abdomen and plays an important role in breathing. Each contraction is followed by a sudden closure of your vocal cords, which produces the characteristic "hic" sound.
Hiccups may result from a large meal, alcoholic beverages or sudden excitement. In some cases, hiccups may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. For most people, a bout of hiccups usually lasts only a few minutes. Rarely, hiccups may persist for months. This can result in malnutrition and exhaustion.
SYMPTOMS
The characteristic sound of a hiccup is the only sign. Sometimes the only symptom is a slight tightening sensation in your chest, abdomen or throat that precedes the sound.
When to see a doctor?
Make an appointment to see your doctor if your hiccups last more than 48 hours or if they are so severe that they cause problems with eating, sleeping or breathing.
CAUSES
The most common triggers for hiccups that last less than 48 hours include:
*Drinking carbonated beverages
*Drinking too much alcohol
*Eating too much
*Excitement or emotional stress
*Sudden temperature changes
*Swallowing air with chewing gum or sucking on candy
Hiccups that last more than 48 hours may be caused by a variety of factors, which are generally grouped into the following categories.
Nerve damage or irritation
The most common cause of long-term hiccups is damage to or irritation of the vagus nerves or phrenic nerves, which serve the diaphragm muscle.Factors that may cause damage or irritation to these nerves include:
*A hair or something else in your ear touching your eardrum
*A tumor, cyst or goiter in your neck
*Gastroesophageal reflux
*Sore throat or laryngitis
Central nervous system disorders
A tumor or infection in your central nervous system or damage to your central nervous system as a result of trauma can disrupt your body's normal control of the hiccup reflex. Examples include:
*Encephalitis
*Meningitis
*Multiple sclerosis
*Stroke
*Traumatic brain injury
*Tumors
Metabolic disorders and drugs
Long-term hiccups can be triggered by:
*Alcoholism
*Anesthesia
*Barbiturates
*Diabetes
*Electrolyte imbalance
*Kidney failure
*Steroids
*Tranquilizers
RISK FACTORS
Men are much more likely to develop long-term hiccups than are women. Other factors that may increase your risk of hiccups include:
*Mental or emotional issues. Anxiety, stress and excitement have been associated with some cases of short-term and long-term hiccups.
*Surgery. Some people develop hiccups after undergoing general anesthesia or after procedures that involve abdominal organs.
COMPLICATIONS
Prolonged hiccups may interfere with:
*Eating
*Sleeping
*Speech
*Wound healing after surgery
PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
While you may initially consult your family doctor about your persistent hiccups, he or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in neurological or gastrointestinal disorders.
TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS
During the physical exam, your doctor may perform a neurological exam to check your:
Balance and coordinationMuscle strength and toneReflexesSight and sense of touch
If your doctor suspects an underlying medical condition may be causing your hiccups, he or she may recommend one or more of the following tests.
Laboratory tests
Samples of your blood may be checked for signs of:
*Infection
*Diabetes
*Kidney disease
Imaging tests
These types of tests may be able to detect anatomical abnormalities that may be affecting the vagus nerve, phrenic nerve or diaphragm. Imaging tests may include:
*Chest X-ray
*Computerized tomography (CT)
*Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Endoscopic tests
These procedures utilize a thin, flexible tube containing a tiny camera, which is passed down your throat to check for problems in your esophagus or windpipe.
TREATMENTS
Most cases of hiccups go away on their own without medical treatment. If an underlying medical condition is causing your hiccups, treatment of that illness may eliminate the hiccups.
Surgical and other procedures
*If less invasive treatments aren't effective, your doctor may recommend an injection of an anesthetic to block your phrenic nerve to stop hiccups.
*Another option is to surgically implant a battery-operated device to deliver mild electrical stimulation to your vagus nerve. This procedure is most commonly used to treat epilepsy, but it has also helped control persistent hiccups.
LIFESTYLE AND HOME REMEDIES
If you have a bout of hiccups that lasts longer than a few minutes, the following home remedies may provide relief, although they are unproven:
*Breathe into a paper bag
*Gargle with ice water
*Hold your breath
*Sip cold water
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
When long-term hiccups don't respond to other remedies, alternative treatments, such as hypnosis and acupuncture, may be helpful.

CERVICAL STENOSIS(BLOCKED CERVIX) AND TREATMENT The cervix is the doorway between your vagina and uterus. It’s the bottom part of your uterus located at the very top of your vagina and looks kind of like a small doughnut. The opening in the center of the cervix is called the os. The cervix works like a gatekeeper, controlling what is allowed and isn’t allowed through the os. When you aren’t pregnant, your cervix produces mucus, known as vaginal discharge. During most of the month, your cervix produces a thick mucus that clogs up the os, making it difficult for sperm to enter your uterus. When you ovulate, however, your cervix produces a thin, slippery mucus. Your cervix may also soften or change position, and the os may open slightly. This is all a calculated effort to make it easier for sperm to enter your uterus. In the days before your period begins, your cervix may harden or change position. The os may narrow and prepare to close in the event of a pregnancy. If th...

ENDOMETRIOSIS AND TREATMENT Endometriosis (en-doe-me-tree-O-sis) is an often painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus (endometrial implant). Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely, endometrial tissue may spread beyond your pelvic region. In endometriosis, displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it normally would — it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. Because this displaced tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes trapped. When endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts called endometriomas may form. Surrounding tissue can become irritated, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions — abnormal tissue that binds organs together. Endometriosis can cause pain — sometimes severe — especially during your period. Fertility problems also may develop. Fortunately, effective treatments ...
