Have u done HIV test

no av not done it, am even scared to do the test

its always the case, before l did it, l was scared to death even having dreams that l was positive. But guess what? am negative!!

so you may not have it. l am not a doctor, but feel u shd do it, am not saying its the cause of ur illness. Doctors on the forum will advice you better.

thanks for the advice, i will summon courage to do the test. the positive result is not my problem but the stigma attached to it, because there is no way people around u won't know

Kiesara, important to note that the advice given by mypeace is not a medical advice as she has mentioned. One of the docs will try and interpret your symptoms and might need to ask more questions! Like what your job is, how old you are. Any investigations done yet for your symptoms. Have you seen any doctors yet. Are you taking medication. List of questions endless for fatigue and headaches

what your job is-     my job is not stressful (office job)
how old you are-     am 32yrs old
Any investigations done yet for your symptoms-  no
Have you seen any doctors yet-  av always been seen doctors but treated for malaria & typhod.

Thanks

@Balogun

Hi, read some of your post.
can u advise me on what to do . Hormonal immunoassay says am low on one of the hormone(LH or FSH) but cant remember which one for now.
i use some birth pills 8yrs ago to normalise my irregular period,it was prescribed by a gyneacologist, some months after stoppage of the pills my period siezed for almost 5months instead of controlling it. Have also done several test which costs me about 50k.(scans,HSG,immunoassy,pelvic scan e.t.c)

Now i always have iirregular flow which wonts stop, i was then given primolut N & after this my period comes like a regular one after 5days.
Have also use herbal remedy, once i stop the drug or whatever remedy it goes back to continous flowing until i use the primolut, have been on primolut N for about 5 yrs now.
Am not too bothered cos am not married and not ready for pregnancy.

Cos they say i have to be on fertility drugs which am tired of.

Doc can u help?

Got married abt a year ago my wife and i ve bin trying for a child but no luck. she ovulates cause we use test kit to determine and i ve a kid from my previous marriage so wot could be the problem?

@ manuch
im not a doctor but a year is rather too soon to start fretting.

Thank you spoilt. You are right. You dont need to be a doctor to realise not getting your wife pregnant in a year is no reason to fret. I am sure she will concieve at the right time

I beg to differ on this issue of not getting your wife pregnant after about a year.

After 12 months of adequate coital exposure if a woman is not pregnant then its the right time to start checking for answers.

You can start with "Adequate coital exposure" thats what its called in gynaecology textbooks from medical school days

By now, I think its ok to "fret"

Gentleone, with pregnancy ligaments in the body tend to stretch a bit. Some women have enough discomfort in their hip and back that they sometimes need crutches. Most of these will return to normal after child birth. Trust your doctor

ok doc, everywhere seems to be stretching. now its my upper tummy and back that i feel the pains. but its just on one side, my left side. my doc again said no probs that the baby is coming up and pushing my uterus thats why.
but doc, i feel so uncomfortable sometimes, is this gonna go on till the baby comes?

I am really fretting and its begining to affect our marriage we ve gone for a scan and everything seems to be normal.

Manuch, I think we are waiting for instructions/advice from styrax! He has suggested you should fret

Hi Doc,
I get this frequent irritation of my bladder, a case where i feel like urinating frequently( up to 60 times in a day) and little urine comes out accompanied by pain, pressure and spasms.I checked on the net and i was made to understand its called cystitis. It happens to me so frequently and really makes me useless and uncomfortable, the other day i had to leave work and its becoming so embarrasing, i use antibiotics for it and it keeps reoccuring, please can you help with a final solution to this problem . I also intend to see a doctor but i will appreciate your advice.

please i need to know, if a guy is a virgin does he feel sexual urge? if yes, what can he do to reduce the urge especially whenever is with his fiancee since he did not want to have sex until they are legally married.
thank you.

@Manuch pls no offense

Being almost a father sometimes in the past is really no guaranty for anybody's state of fertility.

Pls you should work at it alongside with your wife.  You should consider comprehensive fertility screening, this goes beyond just scan.

Seminal fluid analysis for you, HSG, hormonal assay and scan for your wife.  While counselling will also go a long way to help the two of you.

Trust me, I know what it is like to be going through this.

thank you.

Sexual urge is normal.

I don't recommend taking anything to help you 'reduce' your sexual urges.

However, postponing sex till marriage is a plausible goal, try discussing the issue with your fiancee.

With very limited information on this case, and considering the severity of possible causes of this symptom, I would recommend that you go in for a detailed history and physical examination.

Your age, medical history, use of tobacco, cardiovascular condition, as well as neurological status are very important factors that must be evaluated.

If you're my patient I would call you in ASAP.

Goodday doc in the house. I have some health issues disturbing my mind.For some years my body will be hot inside and after much examination from the docs they say is malarial fever.That gives me concern cos i cann't longer concentrate in things i find myself doing.It goes from sleeplessness to chest and back pain.Right now i feel pain all over my back especially on my left brest down to my waist. I go to see my doc often ,he says i am too emotional that any little thing disturbs my mind.For now i cann't really say what is wrong with my body and it affects me psychologically.

@Masteruwem

Your profile does not fit a typical picture of Major depressive disorder, instead you appear a bit anxious, worried and nervous.

You really should not take any medicine without consulting a qualified MD.

What medication do you take that helps relieve your symptoms?

Do you smoke, take any drugs, or drink alcohol? Do you have any medical problems, any illness runs in your family?

What type of job do you do? Have you ever been sick, hospitalized, or operated upon?

How is your sleep, feeding, defeacation and urination?

You can email me privately at yahoo, or make plans to go see a qualified physician.

Good luck.
