Do you have itching with the rash? Any other symptoms you get at all? If the cream isn't working, stop it. Is anyone else in your contact, household etc have the rash?

I think it is harmless rash. It's probably some irritant you are not aware of yet. Do you have long artificial hair?

Regards.
Thanks. No it doesn't itch me and I noticed something like that on my sister's back but it's not quite the same. No other symptom though I had malaria but that was like a month after I noticed the rash.

Seborheic dermatitis at least. You have several options. There is over the counter selenium sulfide (selsium blue) 1%, ketoconazol.e (nizoral) 1%, hydrocortison.e 1%.

If those don't work, then can proceed to prescription strength and more potent ones, but will need a doc visit.

Is she gaining weight? Have her weight herself. The breast is mainly adipose tissues or fat. If she is gaining weight, could be.

Another thing: clinical breast exam would be beneficial to rule out breast tumor. How old is she? Perhaps breast is getting dense, which can be normal for growing young adult.

I need know more of the headache. So, the headache wakes you up from sleep or that you feel it when you wake up in the morning? How long has this been going on? Does it go away eventually as time progresses? Do you take anything for it, does it help?

Your previous posts show that you got a stool culture/ova/parasites and it lists that you have salmonella and shigella.

So, you likely are dealing with infection that needs to be treated first if the lab result is accurate. That's the antibiotics I provided.

Try that first.

I feel it when I wake up.
I have been feeling it for the past 8 days.

So, you have never had headaches in the past at all?

How is your sleeping habits? It may be due to inadequate or impaired sleep. Do you snore at night? Do you feel tired or fatigued or yawn a lot during the day as if you didn't get adequate rest etc? You feel particularly stressed, anxious or worried or depressed?

Try these techniques first:

Have a consistent time that you got to bed and arise
Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep
Avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol or heavy meals before sleep
Avoid or limit television, reading, internet or texting right before sleep
Create a dark, quiet and comfortable sleep place
Can try calming methods like meditating or taking warm bath before sleep- if stressed.
Hydrate more with water.

Try these for at least 4-6 weeks and see if it helps headache. Do limit the use of paracetamol as it can cause rebound headaches from overuse.

Regards.

Hello Dr,

My Fiance's last period started on 24th August. She still had blood coming until friday 28th Aug. We had sex early on sunday 30th Aug but I didn't Erupt into her. However, I suspect some pre-Erupt fluid may have gotten into her somehow (still doubting that happened). She took a post pill on 01st Sept.

By 6th Sept. she told me of some light cramps she's feeling. By 7th Sept she told me she saw little blood in her urine.

She drank undiluted lime juice in the morning on 7th Sept and told me she started seeing blood like her regular period coming later the same day.

8th sept, the blood still coming like she's having her period again. She just finished her period two weeks ago.

She took a home test in the morning of 09th Sept and she said she has a faint second line. Note: She took post pill about two days after sex (tue 01/09).

The cramps have stopped early on 10th Sept but the bleeding is still coming just like her normal period.

Is there a possibiity that she's had a chemical pregnancy?

Is it safe to say the bleeding she's having is as a result of the post pill she took last week?

Please enlighten me

Check your thyroid hormones: TSH and T4 and sugar levels. Have to rule out medical issues first before screening for anxiety

Anal fissures in the setting of hemmorroid is possible!

He really needs to see a colorectal specialist or general sugeon for evaluation and treatment.

For now, he can use stool softeners to ease constipation and try anusol and sitz bath which will relieve pain and sooth anal area

Keep area clean to avoid bacteria infection or super infection.

Post pill as in emergency contraception?

Some experience bleeding vaginally as side effect

If bleeding does not remit, then see a gynecologist.

Take blood pregnancy test

This analysis is a bit confusing. There is no growth but gram stain is plus or minus gram positive cocci? Contamination or?

Well anyway need to isolate the bug responsible and treat appropriately or treat empirically for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

The semen analysis itself isnt too bad, get on antibiotics promptly and much of fertility follow suit.

Good luck

Your prolactin is normal.

For best interpretation of the rest, i need to know if the test were done during your follicular, luteal or mid cycle phase of your cycle. Do you know?

Thanks for your response . But what will I know to treat when there was no growth after 48hrs. I thought I was infection free . Am really confused here because if u say I should treat for chlamydia and gonorrhea what antibiotic do u think will be sensitive to treat them since nothing showed up after 48hrs of incubation. I thought I was really free . Anyway am on some antibiotics that contain amoxicllin and another antibiotic drug call clarithromycin. hope that will do to take care of any infection. Thanks again.

Alright, fair enough. Are you symptomatic at all? I mean, why did you obtain this analysis and culture in the first place. Is it for conception/fertility issues or? Why are you taking antibiotics.

I did say this result is confusing. I think PUS cells of 1-2 HPF can be normal, but only if it is incidental discovery.

I would say repeat test in a few months and culture fluid again.

Good luck.
