Thanks a lot, I appreciate Doctor. I will go get the necessary medication to treat myself and dh. Because I was worried, its a discharge that comes and goes on its own once in a while and only when myself and dh bd, that's why I took the test.
Pls doc I wanted to ask if the candidiasis could cause miscarriages, cos I have had some early once.

Not likely that miscarriage is due to candidiasis. You can visit a gyn for further investigation for miscarriage event.

Best.

i weigh 22.5kg,1.7m tall,male nd I'm 18yrs.i really look lanky.i just eat all i can nd compliment with calories supplements.i just want to put on little fat

You are still quite young to be worried about this. Have you visited a doctor lately to ensure you are fully healthy and cause of underweight not medical?

If so; you need to keep eating calorie dense foodstuff and eat every 2-4 hours, consume more than you expend.

Also, lift weights/work out. I cannot over emphasize the importance of genetics. Keep your genes in mind.

Menstrual cycle is just that a cycle; there are two main phases of the cycle. One remains fairly constant, the other half varies monthly depending on a number of factors: emotions, physical and mental stress, hormone fluctuations, foods you consume etc.

Thus, it is normal for dates to be off by even up to 2 weeks.

I will not worry about it at all---the important thing is that it came--unless you were not expecting it. In that case, sorry!

Enlarged liver? need more info. Do not take anything. You've been diagnosed or? Tell me more about this enlarged liver. The treatment depends on cause.

Dadsonaval,

Please see a doctor who will take thorough history from you to determine cause of your enlarged liver; if not already done so.

You can tell more about your overall history and health. But, I advise not taking anything until you have been properly examined; and obtain consult from a physician.

Good luck.

What exactly does the doctor say is the problem?

Acycor is analgesia/anti-inflammatory for pain control
meta-b-fort is vitamin complex; in case it is vitamin deficiency. Vitamin B 12 especially can manifest as neurological symptoms.
Diazepam is a muscle relaxant presumably for your muscle tremors

Try the vitamin complex, see if symptoms resolve. If you can get tested for Vitamin B12 (or folate) deficiency.

There is an autoimmune condition the collection of your symptoms resemble named myasthenia gravis, but not to worry. Could be simpler.

Don't hesitate with further questions.

Sorry to hear. This individual needs a hearing/speech assessment test performed by a professional. Search for an audiologist and/or speech therapist. They will be able to perform hearing test and offer recommendations for hearing or speech aid/therapy if needed.

Good luck.

Did this start all of a sudden? Taking any medications, allergic to something? What triggered it?

Sounds like it could be allergy to something rather.

I am assuming you mean fallopian tubes? A patent tube means open and not blocked. By definition, in most cases, a patent fallopian tube is a functioning one in terms of its function in reproduction--transit for sperm.

There are not much other things that can cause a non functional patent tube.

Yes and No. It is not necessarily that she is slim per se, it is the lack of sufficient fat/cholesterol/adipose tissue that is the reason.

Estrogen is biochemically derived or made in the body from cholesterol/fat.

So, if you do not have enough cholesterol, you do not make enough estrogen.

Estrogen is responsible for secondary sex characteristics: brea*st development, pubic hair, menses.

She needs to eat perhaps. But, I would suggest visiting a doctor for basic exam and tests too.

yes,the girl does nt eat much.
she has being taken to an endocrinologist has advised by u.

she was asked to run some tests which include:
1. bones age
2. pelvic abdomen scan
3. LH, FSH, Estradiol (hormonal profile)

the 1st is to ascertain if her bone structures tally with her age. the 2nd is to check if she has a womb nd d likes while d 3rd is for hormone level.

she is going 2 b referred 2 a dietician in her nxt visit.
i want 2 ask if all dis tests are called 4.
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 4:27pm On Apr 26, 2015
Ok. Those tests are essentially for checking causes of lack of estrogen.
Bone age is to actually see if she has developmental/growth delay
Pelvic/abdominal scan to check female structures abnormality and/or tumor
Hormonal profile to detect if abnormality. This can give you clue as to where the problem lies: brain, adrenal or ovary.

Best. I hope it's just dietary. In that case, a dietary/nutritionist consult would be good.

Do you have diabetes per chance? Or any medical issues/surgeries?

There is a condition called gastroparesis. But, I doubt it is it.

I would suggest: gas relief medications such as beano, gas-x or tums. If this continues, go and obtain abdominal x-ray.




I don't av diabetes and no medical issues.
no symptoms of gastroparesis.
though d pains and gassing av reduced. I ll check pharmacies this week. THANKS.

Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 11:49pm On Apr 27, 2015
Hello:

Yes the first lab set is definitely not right somewhere.

The second set of lab set shows subclinical hypothyroidism.

For your TTC events, I would highly recommend to start treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone in the form of synthyroid (or the equivalent in your country).

Hypothyroidism, if uncorrected, can lead to fetal abnormalities.

Keep the appointment with your doctor. I hope s/he recommends therapy.

Best.

I doubt an infection is causing amenorrhea. Gynecosid is estrogen alone. You need both estrogen AND progesterone in order to restore your normal cycle. Additionally, an unopposed estrogen is not recommended either due to risk of endometrial hyperplasia.

Please, so back to do and request for combined hormone (estrogen + progestrone)
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 11:55pm On Apr 27, 2015
This is a consequence of gastric (stomach) acid reflux. So follow recommendations for Acid reflux:

Avoid spicy, highly acidic or fatty foods
Loose weight if overweight
Avoid alcohol, smoking or caffeinated beverages
Eat at least 2 hours before lying down (at night)
Sleep on an inclined head of bed, or stacks of pillows.
IF he has allergies, avoid allergens or treat with anti histamines.

Good luck.
