Kudibaby:
hello Dr Omicron,may God bless you for the good work,pls interpreted this scan result for me.
the uterus is bulky,there is a well circumscribed heterogeneous predominantly hypo-echoic mass with a brocid based attached to the anterior myometrium,measuring 6.3x5.3cm in dimension. The remaining myometrium is preserved.
The right andexium harbours an ovoid cystic mass lesion measuring 4.0x3.8cm with low level echoes seen within it.The left adnexium is within normal limits.
Other pelvic organs are normal sonographically.
Conclusion Subserosal Fibroid
Right Ovarian Cyst
kindly explain the result and tell me what to do as I am TTC.
thanks.

omicron:
Hi,

Thanks for your blessing.

First, please disregard lab results claiming you have Staph.

Your sis needs to be investigated by a competent personel. It is most likely she is having candidiasis with some underlying predisposing factors such as low immunity or overweight or some drugs.

Importantly, consumption of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ceftriaxone is a risk factor for candidiasis.

However, there are other probabilities.

Unfortunately, I do not prescribe non over-the-counter drugs here.

All the best.

omicron:
Thanks.

Yea, it is perfectly normal once in a while, especially following a longer-than-usual period of abstinence.

Nothing to be worried about.

omicron:
Hi,

Subserosal fibroid is a fibroid that grows just below the uppermost layers of the womb. They usually do not affect fertility.

You need to follow up the ovarian cysts by further scans (if this is the first scan showing it) and hormone assay.

All the best.

Hello Doctor, please what is the cause of a left groin pain that radiates to the left back and left leg after a month of miscarriage that involved a D and C. Anxiously waiting for your reply please

omicron:
TVS is transvaginal ultrasound. It's a method of doing a Pelvic scan.

It could show some evidence of a PID.

But you must see your doctor for diagnosis.

All the best

omicron:
Hi,

There are many possible causes, which may be related to the D and C or not. Any other symptoms associated with this pain?

The commonest possibility following a D and C is PID.

See your doctor, you will give more history, have an examination and some investigations. Thanks alot Doctor. I do not have any other symptom. I told my doctor and he suspected pid, he then placed me on ciprotab for 10 days, the symptoms left for like 3days and then came back again. Could it have been that ciprotab isn't effective enough for such or what?

truemommy:


Thanks Doc. but what is the best time for do TVS. OR would you rather i do pelvic scan?

omicron:
Both of them are the same thing.

You can do them anytime.

omicron:
Laralabelle,

Ciprotab is effective for PID. But usually, it is not taken alone. There are other organisms causing PID against which ciprofloxacin may not be effective.

You should report back to your doctor.

omicron:
I understand how you feel, but really actively ttc since March is not enough to panick.

Relax your mind. At least when you have tried for up to 6 months, you may begin by doing the basic tests of fertility.

All the best.

abracadabraspec:

It's really frustrating after TTC since March and still no result, even my period doesn't have Ǻ specific cycle though it comes every month, (of I sud start my period today it will end d nxt day) d tot of dat alone is sad and I don't see any fertile symptom via my vaginal discharge, I only saw it once early dis year.
Pls is dere any fertility drugs u can prescribe dat can be of help?
Pls I really need urgent help.

fearless07:
Good day. Pls what is the possible cause of pain in the left lower abdomen. Pelvic scan says all is ok, hvs and urine mcs have also been done and antibiotics taken but still the pain remains. There is no discharge nor itching. The pain is slight but enough to make one notice that it is there. What other tests can one run and do you have a clue of what is responsible for this pain?
p.s - this pain has been there for like 6 months. The last test was done in May. Scan read all is ok but hvs and urine mcs said bacteria which was treated with antibiotics. ( penicillin and levofloxacin)Thanks.

Pls my 6yrs old complained about viginal hurt 6mnth ago and i took her to hospital the scan was done which reveal infection and she was treated. But the pain is back again now, pls what can be done again?

omicron:
Hi,

Take the child back to the hospital for investigations and treatment.

However, such cases as this raise suspicions of something wrong somewhere.

True genital infections are rare in sexually inactive children, though they can sometimes have vaginal candidiasis especially the fat ones, or those who often take antibiotics.

Is it possible that she, a fellow child or an adult is abusing her (self)?

VickJames:
Hi doctors,

Can a girl miss her period for up to three months without being pregnant?

Note: she is feeling weak, pale and eating more than normal.

yemitosin:
Hi i stop breastfeeding my baby for more than two months now but my period refuse to return. Should i be worried caused it took me time to conceive my first baby due to irregular period.

omicron:
Yes, it is possible. There are other causes of missed periods asides pregnancy. How old is she? When did she see her first ever period? Any other symptom?

However, if she is sexually active, let her do a pregnancy test. Until proven otherwise, pregnancy is assumed.

If negative let her see her doctor.

VickJames:


She is 21years old. She's eating too much lately. They said she looks pale and always feel weak or better still lazy.

omicron:
Ok. Has she done a pregnancy test.

VickJames:


She hasn't. We have been convincing her to do the test but she thinks she isn't pregnant.

We feel she's pregnant because of some of the symptoms she's exhibiting. What are the chances that she's pregnant?
