Thanks Dr Kathy for what you are doing in this forum, God alone will reward you.My wife gave birth about 6 weeks ago by C/S and she is recuperating and doing fine.My sister suggested she takes Stout(Alcohol) to help her stomach/womb.I don't know the medical implications if she takes it and if she doesn't take it.

How long after delivery by c/s can a woman start having sex again.

Thanks a lot.

DEAR NINJA KING & KATHYEKITI,
You guys are doing a great job.
To be honest I wish I studied medicine(Laugh), Want to serve pple the way you do.

I need to be enlightened:
What is/are the effect(s) of hormonal drugs on the body esp the reproductory organs.
I took gynaecosid about a year ago and ever since my period has been irregular.

Pls refer to my post on page 26 to see what my doctor recommended,

I need to regulate my period so that I can get pregnant.

Thank you for your anticipated help.

Dear doctor,
You are doing an amazing job here.
Please my best friend cannot afford to go to the doctor in london now,
and she has a problem.
Recently,she noticed that sometimes when she pees,her urine goes in different directions.She has googled it and they call it forking urine but hasnt seen a solution yet,
Please what is the problem?thank you.

@oluwawunmi

You might need to go to your gyn to give you clomid so you can ovulate. The length between your periods is abnormally long

@olaedo & wumine

I am sorry but I no longer reveal my email. I am still in the throes of the daily 419 emails I receive.

@chief S

Congratulations! Please don't give your wife alcohol, she will only get dehydrated and it can affect her breastmilk production. In general, she needs at least 6 weeks before she can start having sex

@ izzabett

I replied you already. Check the prior posts

@ pained gal

This is not a medical problem unless she has other associated symptoms

thanks doc.
i feel rather stupid tho cos im a med student.
Been chilling ere to tell you that you are wonderful.
My fiance is doin his residency in O and G and reading what you write and how you write it just makes me admire you all the more.
God bless you.
I won't be specializing in your field tho,ur far too brave,
This is not medicine related,but i'd like to ask u wat field of specialty would be advicable for me seeing dat my man is already too busy and i'd like to have time for d kids?
i'll be graduating in a year and half.
I was thinking psychology or psychiatry but in nija,its a bummer and i intend to go back there, any advise?
i totally love psychology,physilogy and endocrinology.

@ wumine and Olaedo

Thank you for being understanding. I used to have my email on here and apparently got on some "list" I hope you will post your questions here.

@ missditto

Where are you located?

@bolajigirl

This sounds like an excellent plan. Clomid takes away the impact of the different days in your cycle. Did he also give you progesterone?

@ painedgal

Endocrinology is a good choice as is psychiatry for lifestyle. No emergencies. Ob/gyn is a tough mistress. Wishing you the best in your studies

Dear Doc,
I have been trying to get preg for a while.
I was supposed to see my period on the 12th but it has not come up till now.
I feel cramps once in a while to b precise every 4hrs or thereabout.
Could this be the signs of early pregnancy.

When can I go for a test?
Thank you.

@davinchi

It sounds like your landlord's wife might have a condition called endometriosis which can cause infertility and pain with menses. Has she had an ultrasound? She may also be suffering from fibroids.

@itiade

You take a test now. Good luck

Obesity causes many serious diseases like heart attack, diabetes, cancer, renal disorder or hemorrhage. They are generally the causes of a fat person’s death. Obesity is a major factor that reduces life expectancy. Let discuss in brief how obesity affects different organs and systems of the human body.

- Muscles of fat persons are soft and weak. If the muscles are loose and weak, they cannot support the internal organs of the body and therefore the organs do not remain secure in their proper positions and easily get displaced. Therefore fat persons often become victims of different types of hernia.

- In fat persons, the coordination between muscles and the nervous system is inadequate. Consequently, they are slow in their reflex actions. As a result of this, they are more prone to injuries and accidents.

- Fat persons consume more energy for doing physical works. This affects their efficiency. They get breathless after the slightest physical exertion. Therefore they are generally found to be lazy or inactive.

- Fat persons complain of severe pain in the feet or soles which are crushed under the weight of their heavy bodies. Fat persons also suffer from flat feet. Similarly, weight bearing joints like the ankles, hips and the spinal cord are also strained constantly on account of the heavy weight they have to carry. Consequently, fat persons are susceptible to degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis at a very young age.

- The joints of the body are surrounded by muscles. Muscles lend support to the joints. As the muscles of fat persons are weak, their joints are not adequately supported. This is the main reason why fat persons often complain of chronic backache. Besides this, the joints of fat persons are stiff and therefore, their bodies are less flexible and they cannot bend their bodies easily.

- Compared to normal children, fat children are more prone to congenital and acquired deformities of bones and joints.

- Generally the level of cholesterol is high in the blood of fat persons. With the passage of time, this cholesterol gets deposited on the inner surface of blood vessels. As a result of this, blood vessels not only become hard and narrow, but also lose their elasticity. Like other blood vessels, arteries which supply blood to the heart, are also narrowed in the case of fat people. Such a situation creates circumstances conductive to ischemic heart disease.

- High blood pressure is also associated with obesity. In the case of a fat person, high blood pressure develops at an early age.

- Fat persons are more prone to varicose veins. Varicose veins are an indication of slow blood circulation.

- The act of breathing involves the movement of several parts of the stomach and chest. Two types of muscles are mainly responsible for this: some muscles of the chest and the diaphragm. When fat person breaths, he has to lift his heavy chest every time, and besides this, he also finds it difficult to push the diaphragm towards the fat stuffed belly and stomach. It is because of this that a fat person gets tired and breathless easily.

- As the cholesterol is generally high in the blood of fat persons, this high cholesterol causes stone formation in the gall bladder.

- Obesity creates many problems during pregnancy also. It creates many problems like toxemia, difficulties in delivery, post delivery bleeding, death of the mother or the child, etc. Fat women, generally, do not have normal deliveries. A caesarian operation is required in the cases of most of the fat women.

- Any surgical operation of a fat person surrounds with many dangers. The patient has to be given anesthesia before the operation is performed and it is not only difficult but also dangerous to administer anesthesia to a fat person. The breathing of a fat person is generally shallow as the movement of his diaphragm is hindered. Anesthesia is likely to affect his breathing adversely. The chances of developing embolism in the veins are also more in obese.

- Post surgical recovery is also very slow in fat persons. Their convalescence period is usually very long.

- Obesity disrupts the proper functioning of endocrine glands.

- The liver too is adversely affected by obesity. It has been found that degenerative diseases of the liver and cirrhosis of liver strike fat persons more often.

- Fat women suffer from menorrhagia, infertility and several other disorders of menstruation.

- Degenerative changes in the kidneys occurs more severely and early in fat person.

- Possibilities of developing cancer are directly proportional to overweight. This fact applies particularly to those who are aged above 45.

- Fat persons are often made targets of fun, gossip and ridicule among friends and in the society. As a result of this, many fat persons develop an inferiority complex or suffer from other psychological disorders.

I second that!
You should see the controversy in the Pharmacy Advice thread: we need a qualified health section moderator. If not, people we continue to post pseudo-science, abracadabra, tai-chi as sound medical information/advice on this forum.

Dr. Kathy will be with you later, but while you wait avoid ibuprofen. Instead, take some acetomenophine/tylenol or panadaol for you pain, and keep in touch with your doctor every week.

Dr Kat,

My wife is 25 weeks now and she is planning to travel by road for an 8 hour trip. Although I have tried to dissuade her from that, she still insists that she will be alright. Please, I will need your professional advice on this.

We also noticed that her skin is becoming so light and tender. Is this normal and is there anything that can be done? Pepper as a spice is ok, but she is beginning to like too much of it. I dont know if it is the pregnancy thing that is causing it but is too much of it harmful to the baby?

Many thanks again doc for the good u've been doing.

Cheers!

i mean transverse position pls
