Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology

@follyflash

There are several reasons for decreased libido.  Are you stressed? How old are you?

@kechai
The culture would grow gardnerella but this is not considered an infection.  Has the discharge improved?

 @demi2008
Then I would suggest a blood test to be done on the 3rd day of your period to make sure your ovarian reserve is good. How old are you?

I am 28yrs old is there anyway i can do d blood test without it being through my GP because she is not as anxious as i am she said i'm less than 35 so i should be less bothered but in fact i am bothered

Hi, I've gotten in touch with a private clinic who could do the test for me but they want to know what my GP advised if its FSH or ESTRADIOL i want to do. Its a private clinic and the test is very expensive do u advise i spend so much money or follow my GP'S advise and be patient

@kahyetti

i am 33yrs what can i do to increase my libido

hello ma,

you re really doing a good job for fellow nigerians

,does eating of sweet food realy contribute to low  sexual performance

I usually can't do more than one round at a time without having to rest for like 4 hrs.My wife usually demand for at least 2 rounds

Yet one more thing to add doc,

Does fingering my wife has any side effect on her reproductory life because i like doing it so as to rev her up into the mood before penetration

Also when i finger my wife i usually use my hand to feel a little protution in her vigina deep down there,though i av not told her,what do you think this protution is

After sex, i usualy have my wife lay her butt on a pillow for some minutes in such a manner that her vigina faces up.Is this a good pratice to enable the semen travel into the vigina,because i notice that after sex the semen usually comes out of her vigina

Are you from EKITI STATE

You have to be understanding and not take it personally.  Reassure him that he will not be hurting the baby.  Perhaps it might help if your ob could explain things to him.  good luck and congrats

@kechai
The reason you noticed it the first time after having sex is because of the semen.  Semen is alkaline.  In the office, we keep KOH to amplify the smell.  As I stated before, it is not an infection per se.  If it happens again, a brief course of antibiotics would clear it up

Hi doc.

It's been a long time since I posted in this forum.You are really doing a very good job. God bless you.

please I have some questions. 

1. Can PID cause a fetus to abort sponteneously?.

2. if YES, can antibiotics correct it

3. When is the right time to take clomid,  2nd day of one's period or the 5th day?

Thanks and God bless you.

Hi Doc
I'm 7wks4days preggers but I don't feel pregnant at all On pregnancy chat forums women complain of morning sickness, cravings, mood swings etc and they imply that if you feel sick then it means 1) you're still pregnant and 2) your baby is doing fine. Had a checkup 2 days ago and saw the heartbeat of baby  but I can't help obsessing about something going wrong. Is it normal to not to feel pregnant at all?

Dr. Kathy,
How do I know a woman is ovulating? what are the signs?

Thanks doc.

@shalata
sorry about the miscarriage but congrats on the pregnancy.  What is your blood type? Rh isoimmunization is only considered ifyour blood type in negative.  It is also not associated with first trimester miscarriages.  The most common cause of first trimester miscarriages is genetics.  I highly recommend omega acids with prenatal vitamins.  There are several brands but I use prenate DHA and primacare one because these are single pills.  Go to your gyn immediately.  Do not wait and make sure they test your progesterone level.  If it is low, they will suggest supplementation which is a good idea.  I am not familiar with the lagos hospitals but I recommend going to one that has good word-of-mouth.

@ngcom
I am a little confused because a bartholin cyst is located in the vulva/vagina and not in the uterus.  It is not dangerous but can get infected and surgery is the only way to remove it.

dear doctor,
                please kindly assist in rendering an opinion that could help a good friend. i have a friend in Lagos whose wife has had four miscarriages in about six years.The last one happened about a month ago.she usually carry the fetus to about four months before the miscarriage.usually the miscarriage is preceded by vaginal bleeding.she doesn't work so not in any stressful condition.with this last pregnancy she was told she had a weak cervix and she had a procedure to close the cervix and was later placed on bedrest for about a month before the losing the baby right there in the hospital.so,i need a medical advise.does anyone know a specialist ob/gyn in Lagos or Nigeria?should they seek the advice of a fertility expert?i heard  there is one in Lagos.should they try again without knowing the cause of these miscarriages.does any one has any recommended test/opinion that could assist her Nigeria doctors.i look forward to answers to all these questions from men and women of goodwill. it will delight my friend's wife to know that the world cares attempt her condition and that collectively we will try and solve this misery.i will print all responses to her to read.i thank u all.
