Sorry please, I'm a bit confused here, do I need to see a doctor or go for another diagnosis and Urinanalysis in another hospital?

Fair enough then. The doctor who diagnosed uti with the tests at his disposal would actually be in the best position to treat it and retreat as is in your case.
If I were to be of assistance, I would ask for details of the test result for a start.

Pls ma'am, is there a cure for hormonal disorder like milk coming out from the breast without any pregnancy. And its been since November last year. It comes out more when the person uses milk in her food.
Cc: frenchwine
There sure is a cure but first the cause has to be identified.
You would first have to do a prolactin hormonal assay. That would guide us as to the cause

But does it cause infertility to a fertile person?
That statement is contradictory. I guess you meant to ask if it can make a previously fertile person to become infertile.
Answer: YES!!

Scary tho...... I'm sorry for my too many questions but
Please do you know where the prolactin hormonal assay can be done and the cost?
Not many regular labs run the test. The best I can say is go to a public hospital close to you, visit the lab and ask the lab scientist about it. If they don't run it, s/he can direct you appropriately.
Cost? Ranges from about 1k5 to .......

Thank you very very much but i still have a question.
If the milk stops coming out itself, does the person still stand the risk of infertility.
And can a person that ovulates and menstruates regularly be infertile?
Yes Yes and Yes.
But going by this ur question, I should ask if she has been pregnant before. - if no then I would say she does a Fertility Hormone Profile + prolactin at once.
Has she been pregnant before but trying to conceive for some time with no success? Then she can also do the FHP test above.
Even if the milk stops , it's good to establish the root of the problem.

Health Checks. Doctor in the House

For all you Nairalanders I have decided to be your official doctor in the house. I have found this site so helpful in bonding me to my motherland I have decided to give
medical advice with the usual disclaimer. This is just advice. Further treatment should be sought from your personal physician!
Hello ..this quit urgent...my sis is about 45 and is on BP medic.
about two weeks ago ..she took coke and started trowing up and today..after taking water she started trowing up again...am afraid what could this be though she will seeing a doc today... any info to help cos am getting worried..

You could be immunosuppressed. I'm thinking in the line of a thyroid disorder or even a liver disorder which may only show up when you do organ specific tests.
You would still need to visit the hospital and get examined, as for a longstanding illness like yours, there would be some tell tale signs that would be elicited on examination.

You either go back to the dentist and lay your complain or you check on a different dentist.
Ideally you should have an xray of the jaw done to know exactly whats wrong with the tooth.
The gum and tooth may already be infected, hence, the feverish condition.
That's a red flag sign, do not waste time.
Thanks for the response. I have done the extraction, but the headache still persists. It is accompanied by feverish sensation, body temperature and general fatigue. I am bothered here. please help out, anyone.

The headache is due to nerve root irritation for which I believe you have been given appropriate pain killers.
I also believe you have been given strong antibiotics for the infection.
With time, you would be fine

Were you examined by a doctor? A proper cardiac and neurological examination would unravel much. Historically, the much I can say is there could be a perfusion mismatch meaning ur organs are getting less oxygen than they should which explains the dizzying feeling and all that.
