The OCP is combination 3.i did a pelvic scan, hormone profile, blood count, hvs , pregnancy test. I'm 22,weigh 58,height 1.7.

Hmm. if all those tests are normal especially your hormonal profile. Anyway you can show me the results of your hormonal profile? So, you do not have genetic abnormality you know of? Are you otherwise developmentally an adult? (I mean breast and pubic hair)?

I mean, let's assume they are negative; are you athletic? What does your diet consist of? Ongoing stresses in your life now?

You don't seem too thin or emaciated (though I can't really see you). Malnourishment and starvation can temporarily shut down the cycle.

Maybe you need to try another form of contraceptive after complete evaluation that is. Also, did they get TSH, T4 (your thyroid functions?), prolactin? Did your doctor do something called progesterone test?

I assume you were having unprotected sex.

Anyway, a week is just too far out for emergency contraception. Their effectiveness is within 24-72 hours.

Let her take a pregnancy test first; then if you decide not to keep the fetus (if positive), then visit a gyn for your options in abortive procedure.

Do consider having the baby and then consider adoption (?). That fetus is a human being.

Please, Do not have unprotected sex if/when you are not in the position to keep the baby.

Take care.

First, if you are sexually active, do a pregnancy test ASAP. This will rule out uterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy.

More likely causes: Urinary tract infection, STI (chlyamdia, gonorrhea, trichomonas), PID from STD.

Go and get urine analysis to check your urine for infection. Then consider STI testing if you are sexually active.

Good luck.

Does this lady have any medical issues in particular? If she is young and healthy, then it's likely psychological. There are certain things she can do to diminish enuresis (bed wetting).
Pls like what can she do?
She may also need therapy to decipher why this has been ongoing.

For now, try: setting an alarm every so often, so she can wake up and urinate in the toilet instead.

She also needs to visit a GP
Pls what is GP

and get a basic laboratory test and exam performed to determine overall physical health.

What type of test and exam shd she do

Good luck.

Or better still is there any clinic or hospital u can recommend for her

For now, she can wear padded underwear like pads (but heavier). Set a timer every half hour, so she can get up and go and urinate. Is she having any complaints or physical symptoms that she is complaining of other than her bedwetting? She can also monitor her fluid intake especially nearing night times. She may need behavior re-conditioning.

In addition:

Get to a health center, start with simple blood work that include CBC (blood count), basic chemistry profile, and serum glucose (sugar) measurement. Consider KUB

You want to rule out: diabetes and urinary tract infection and abnormalities and diabetes and sleep disruptions such as sleep apnea.

For more in depth workup: include urodynamic testing (to determine if urological cause for her urinary incontinence. This can be performed by a GP (general practitioner or your doctor), but it is best if done by a urologist.

Can also sleep studies as well.

I do not live in Nigeria, but start with your a health clinic, from there she can obtain an evaluation and then a referral to a psychotherapist or a specialist as deemed necessary.

Wish you well.

Ok. You have anovulatory dysfunction uterine bleeding. You are not still answering my questions. Did you get thyroid tests? Prolactin?

Anyway, what OCP were you on and for how long? Did progesterone test show your responded with withdrawal bleed or?

If all those things are negative, then you need a hysterescope to visualize your uterus. Either that , or try another OCP.

Premature ejaculatio*n? If you are young with no medical issues, then it is psychological from anxiety, stress, depression, medications.. It is quite common in young male. New partner?

Communicate with your partner with the issues you may have, what it is you want out of your sexual experience and your obstacles in getting there. Take it easy and slow during intercours*e and engage in pre-coitu*s activities.

Good luck.

It depends on what is causing it. This isnt a medical emergency, so wait till your doctor appointment for exam and treatment.

Certain drugs can cause it, but do not stop any medications unless your doctor deems so.

If it is painful, then stop irritative stuff, brush gently and rinse with antiseptic mouth wash to avoid infection.

Good luck

Dear, if you are having difficulty breathing and uncontollable cough, go to hospital right away for evaluation and treatment before you pass out for inadequate oxygen.

Do you have asthma? Calm down and get deep breathe in and slow deep breath; with mouth open if nose congested. Can inhale vapor mist of hot water; add salt or menthol if you got one and inhale it.

But go to A and D if you cannot breathe.

Few weeks ago I took a HIV test, it turned out negative. I asked my fiancee to also take the test. We don't stay in the same state so there was no way we could go together. Fews days later she said she took it that she's negative too but the Doctor didn't allow her go with the result. I was surprised because I took mine in a govt clinic and went home with my result. She said she took it in a Teaching hospital. So please is this how it is done in Teaching hospitals?

Sounds questionable to not be able to receive your result. One has to wonder why they are not releasing the result to her. Is she part of an experiment or?

Anyway, I would not engage sexually with this individual until you have proven her negative HIV test result.

This test is remarkable for Anemia (low Hemoglobin) and leukocytosis (high white count (WBC).

The differential doesn't appear to be showing the nature of the leukocytosis. I would therefore, double check the number of this WBC.

Are you having fever, chills or feel ill? Or What is going on?

This test result does not show ESR.

Sir, there is no way of getting around it. Tell me a little about yourself. You may be developing serious cause for this dyspnea/shortness of breath. And how old are? You have to get checked out.

There may be re-accumulation of cysts, may require excision (different from marsupialization). If it's swollen and painful, there is also possibility of abscess formation.

Therefore, I suggest visit a gynecologist to re-examine and possibly prescribe antibiotics in case of abscess.

For vaginal dryness, try using lubricants during sex. For reoccurring yeast infection, make sure you do not have pre-existing systemic illness--see your gyn for examination and treatment.

Take care.
