Thank you, I went to the primary health care in my area, they ran test and discovered malaria. I also told them about the stooling, they prescribed drugs for me including flagyl and amoxicillin but I am still stooling at least thrice in a day, cough and cattarh has stopped.

The stooling started in December after the Xmas booze and stuffs and till now, its still here

At least you have improve in a fraction. Since you have already started treatment it would be okay to go along with it to see if there will be a gradual end to your increase stooling frequency. All the best.

Hello Dr. Good Afternoon,
I hope this meets you well. I'm a newlywed.
Dr. My period is 5days late,
I have a 32day circle, I saw my period last on the 24dec - 28 Dec,
It has never been regular for past months.
It was suppose to show up on the 25th Jan but nothing yet.
I'm not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms & no implantation bleeding, no vomiting.
I intend going for a pregnancy test on monday thats if it doesn't come.
I have never experienced late period in my life before.

Dr please what do you think this?

When Monday comes do have a serum beta-hCG pregnancy done in any of the available settings. Some delay are unexplainable (idiopathic) or stress related often times, or could be wrong cycle days counting due to sustaining irregularity. Just be patient, it will definitely show up provided all things remain the same with no hCG on detection.
If this last more than two weeks, kindly post again on this subject or seek the help of a physical doctor.

Bro,
I have don the ECG test and the result are given below:
Sinus rhythm
Normal QRs axis
No atrial enlargement
Left ventricular hypertrophy
No significant ST segment changes
No blocks seen
No QTv prolongation
Conclusion: borderline left ventricular hypertrophy otherwise .
Sir, please wat can u deduce from this result as i am so scared right now.

Apart from a left ventricular hypertrophy every other thing is okay. Common cause to a left ventricular hypertrophy is due to increase pressure load on that compartment of the heart from long stayed not well managed systemic high blood pressure. Other causes are not likely as ECG didn't give alterations that would have pointed several cardiac related pathognomonic conditions.
So, what's your blood pressure?

I mistakenly swallowed the tap water in ur compound while I was brushing, since then I have been having consistent issues:

Cough
Catarrh
Stooling

I have used ciprotab and flagyl it keeps coming back, I mean all these 3 I listed ... What could be wrong?

How are you doing now? I hope you should have done something about it or probably seek a doctor's helps on this. You should be okay now. But if this still persist let me know.

Thanks

Although I cant really figure out what could be the cause of back pain other than the fact that I sit a lot, travel a lot, sleep with stomach facing my mattress. Also, I wear shoe a lot and I hardly wear slippers or sandal(although I only use Google to find out if wearing shoe can cause back pain). While I still have back pain, I do carry some medium sized object all alone(especially my generating set but weigh around 30kg) although not to long distance but I don't know if that could contribute to why am having back pain.

As regard the body lightness, I perceive it got better today & reduced which I hope it becomes better before my next appointment

Above all, I will keep you updated about the outcome of my meeting with doctor on Thursday

Thanks so much sir

Okay.

fabulous0156:
So you mean is normal since I only notice it when I pass faeces and for the shaking hands what is the way out for that?

It is normal. It will be less disturbing with less attention given to it.
As for your hand tremor, I would advise you have an appointment with a physical doctor to know what could be responsible for it and in addition give you proper advice as to what to do or stay away from to reduce the hand shaking.

Hello, please pardon my long epistle but I want to make my issue clear

4 months ago, I had back pain and took some medication based on pharmacist & doctors recommendation and pain reduced drastically but not completely gone. I sit a lot with or without chair that has back rest, also I do lie on my bed most time during the day when am not at work. To cut the story short, this January when I realized the pain is not completely gone but very very minimal, I have to go the hospital and doctor gave me combination of anorol & tramadol, the first day I took it wasn't funny at all as I experience fatal dizziness & feeling like am gonna die so I stopped it that night. I took palm oil and drank a tin of milk. Following day, I were OK but 2days later I feel weak somehow so I have to go to another hospital. I explained everything to them from beginning and they did 7 blood test for me which at the end of the day doctor said I had malaria. They gave me 7 drugs and said I need to take injection for 3days, I could use the drugs and took the injection for only 2days because the the injection makes me weaker than before I visited the hospital. When I lodge the complaint and the doctor insist I continue the treatment I have to leave before they kill me which makes me go to another hospital. At this hospital, they gave me drip for 2days(1 drip per day) without any oral medication, the 3rd day doctor said I can go home. I left the hospital but after walking for like 5minutes I became weak badly and feeling like and gonna fall, I have to quickly rush back to the hospital and doctor said I will take another drip. I didn't complete the drip before I became feverish that night. Following morning, doctor asked me to go for medical test which includes Hepatitis B & C, FBC, & HIV.

HIV result: Negative

Hapatitis B & C: Negative

FBC RESULT
Total White Blood Cell: 10,250c/mm3
Packed Cell Volume: 44%
Haemoglobin: 22g/DL

DIFFERENTIAL COUNT
Neutrophils: 57
Lymphocytes: 43
Eosinophils: 00
Basophils: 00
Monocytes: 00


I took the result to another hospital because this doctor of mine(that gave me drip) is only available 8 - 8:30am and 9pm - 9:30pm each day ( he ran 2 hospital and not always available at the one where I was admitted)


At this new hospital(specialist hospital), doctor asked me questions and I explained everything from start to finish then they asked me to go for RBS which came out 118 then I were asked to come the following day for FBS and the result came out as 87 which doctor said that its not a case of diabete

My next appointment date is Thursday, please if there's any further test be it blood test or scan that I need to do so as to ascertain what's wrong with me please do let me know so I go for it and give you feedback. I am not saying I won't go to hospital on my next appointment date but I just need to be on safer side and fund quick solution to my predicament

Note: This is my first time of having this kind of feelings ad reason why am worried, I hardly fall sick and throughout a year I might not even experience malaria fever

Pardon all my grammatical blunders

Thank you sir

I will come to this problem after your Thursday appointment. Kindly post any reliable information you think can benefit me in knowing the cause to this problem or that will determine the course of tests to go for after seeing him.

No it does not smell is colourless and I only notice the discharge when I toilet the first urine that will come out a little bit..

Have stop taking alcohol for long now ... Thanks waiting for your response

It is a normal experience for most young growing adult male. You always observe though not frequent as you pass faeces there is few seminal release or penile discharge or even urine. It occur to most male and actually represent no ill health safe for what it is.

Educonomist:
Yeah, I just resumed sch yesterday... I have done DAT........ where I'm staying isn't Lassa affected area, as no one has come up with d virus.....

does this looks like rat urine

I am not an expert on identifying such matters.

Educonomist:
Good evening, Doc,....

Yesterday while cleaning my room, I notice a drop of fluid on my foot DAT look likes rat urine from the ceiling,,,, should I be worried

Yes o. Ah! Just do everything to prevent rodents or rats from scouring every place in the home. Not only for the fear of Lass fever but for normal proper home hygiene.

fabulous0156:
Good morning doctor I pray I get a response.... What might be the cause of shaking hands is so obvious and I get scared easily ..... What can be the cause and solution..... For whitish or colourless discharge that come out of the penis discover only when someone defecate (go to toilet)... Likely solution?

Common causes of hand tremor. seen among us are:
1) anxiety (worried or over excited)
2) alcohol abuse
3) high thyroid activities.
3) Parkinson disease
4) brain injury
5) aging
6) some medications like caffeine use and drugs for asthma.


Does this penile discharge smell awful?
Color of discharge?
Filing through this discharge does it seems to be seminal?

unixomotee:
pls doctor what the meaning of this test result, I'm 27 yrs old
thanks

It simply means, a typhoid infection and an anaemia You may do a parasite test for the malaria parasite (common things occur commonly).

Hello Doctor,

Please I need advise, I lost a pregnancy June 2019 due to Cervical insufficiency at 23-24 weeks.Conceieved through IUI due to PCOS Jan 2019. My husband and I are mentally ready to try again.The issue now is I have two fibroids but both outside my womb and my former OB/GYN believes it has nothing to do with the fibroid and advised a cerclage once we get pregnant again.

We are torn with the option of removing the fibroid or just going ahead with TTC, also added with the PCOS we are using a more natural approach based on diet, exercise and good supplements, my cycle is 33-35 days. I would appreciate any tips/advise

You have started a monthly plan with me. We will continue on my WhatsApp, not on Nairaland. Hope this is Viv?

Male
36
The lower left part of my arm (often) and atyms the lower right part of my arm
The lower part of both legs
Moderate pain.
No weakness or reddening of any of the complained part
Wen the pain started around Novem last uear, it came with chest pain and shoulder pain, bt i have not been feeling the chest pain for for almost 2 mnths now bt atyms i feel the shoulder pain.
No paleness
No yellow eyes
I dont get tired so often
No, it didnt stat after any particular sickness bt in 2011, i went for am ECG test and i was told i have a swollen heart. So i am just scared. I havent taken any medication since the diagnosis .

Oga nawa o, ECG showed cardiomegaly and you didn't shake body to ask doctor what a swollen heart means and detrimental it is to be living this life with a heart getting hypertrophied. Have you been managing your blood pressure? How is it? Do you drink alcohol or use hard drugs?
Go and do that ECG again and this time confirm the dimension. A swelling heart is a compensating heart. The heart is trying to keep you alive and so by time gets bigger until it can't do any more work. You just be appearing fine, no more symptoms than just the pain but this is one reason people just slump and die even without a warning.
Do not allow the heart to compensate any further. Your symptoms may just be slight claudication and this warning shouldn't be overlooked on your side. Please seek a doctor's help quickly as soon as you read this.
Let me know when you have done the ECG, I will send you for further diagnosis depending on the result confirmation.

Loverquin:

Gender?
Age?
Which part of your arm do you feel this pain?
When you say leg, which part of the leg do you have this pain?
How will you grade the pain; mild, moderate or severe?
Do you find weakness or reddening of any region of your body including the complaint region?
Does the pain come some times with chest pain or shoulder pain?
Do you appear pale?
Yellow eyes?
Do you get tired so often?
Did the pain started after one very particular sickness you have had then?

Hi, how probable is the risk of getting infected from a burst condom. It was until after I ejaculated that I noticed the bursted condom

It is a matter of chance. Anything can happen but if the burst was noticed earlier enough you may go scot free without any body exchanged.

Good morning doc, May Good bless you for the great job you Re doing here.
Plz I want to ask a question,i newly got married by Dec 2019 and now I want to know my mental cycle, my ovulation and the best time to have sex to become pregnant.
My menstruation started on the 22nd dec-24th dec
This January my menstruation started on the 15th-17th
Plz doc i want to know the exact day I and my husband can meet for me to become pregnant.
And again can I take paracetamol tablet during this period of wanting to conceive.

The number of days as from 22nd Dec, 2019 to 15th Jan, 2020 makes your menstrual cycle. From the total number of days, remove 14days. The days covering what is left from the subtraction makes when your follicle develop an ovum for fertilisation. The very last day and days in between ranges as your fertile period.
You can always use paracetamol during this period.

ddcfft:
Dr please i need your advice
I got married in December 2018 and i Joined my husband officially in May 2019 and since then we have been having unprotected sex but no signs of pregnancy, I went to a hospital for evaluation and the Dr said there nothing wrong with me, he even advised me to have sex with my husband every week that I shouldn't miss two days at once so there can always be sperm inside of me.
I did a pelvic scan and he said im ok, that just little fibroids outside the womb that its not an issue.
I told the Dr that I track my ovulation, he said sometimes the time we think is the ovulation is not really the ovulation time that ovulation can happen anytime that i just just make sure i have sec with my husband and i dont miss 2 days straight.
Please what do you think?
My MC is 32dayd
My period lasts for 5days

Some infertility are unexplained and it will only require patient on your side to overcome it provided all things done are alright. If everything is right with you, is everything right with your husband? Your husband still need to be examined and cleared of anything responsible for your not having pregnancy. What was the result of the tracking done on folliculometry? How many times did you do tracking of your ovulation? Did you do a full assaying of your reproductive hormone and the thyroid hormone before the tracking or along with the tracking?
I disagree on ovulation happening at anytime. If your MC is 32 days, you should expect your ovulation around the 17th-18th day of your cycle. Tracking should be able to confirm that except you have changes due to irregularity. So, ovulation will have no special timing in cases of irregularity just as your doctor may be trying to tell you. Indulging in sexual exercise in the weeks out may be the only end to getting you pregnant.

Female, the report of d x-ray shows that there is new bone formation which might be as a result of being sickle cell trait as said by doctor, bt d pain still persist now after taken the prescribed drug. Recently i was reffered to orthopaedic clinic, my question now is, does this mean surgery is the next thing or what? I'm scared

In other words, the pain at the breast region was not a breast pain but chest pain from the bones around it?
Which drug was prescribed?
I am fully yet to understand you.

i dont need to, i am smart enough to know that A) you can catch rabies from many different animals, not just dogs (like monkey, fox, wolf, raccoon, skunk, cattle, bats, and cats) and B) if/when you do unfortunately catch it from these animals, the symptoms certainly wont be howling like the animal that has bitten you... but hey, if thats what you believe then so be it.

Good morning. You may seem to have gotten away with some point but Jewessgratitude is still very correct. During my days in Meds school, the Consultant teaching us The Rabies virus had to show us a patient barking as part of its pathognomony in a rare severe cases.
Please she is right. This awareness is very important.

Prettyfaces:
Good evening Dr.
Please can someone who has had 4 abortions using misoprostol and mifepristone still conceive and have a healthy pregnancy without complications?
Is there anything that can be done to ensure everything is fine?

Provided nothing was done wrong to the minor and major architecture of the reproductive systems and tract, she can can conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.

edo3:
Thanks so much for your time sir.. Is there any immune booster drugs i can take,, a strong one at that?

Stop over using the chances that are free...

luckypato:
Here sir....
Itchy feeling is still there especially the wrists.
Second picture is my shoulders

Go and buy Visita plus and Benzoyl benzoate. Ensure that the Visita plus is applied morning, afternoon(if possible) and in the evening time. While the Benzoyl benzoate is applied allover your body just before going to bed.
Follow this up to one week consistently and report back to me soon after. Don't forget to report back to me so I could know what to advise you on when this fails.

Apart from the itching and rashes, any other symptom or sign to tell me?

Av forgotten d name of d antibiotics and i used it for only 4 days.. I consume alcohol almost everyday sir not antibiotics..


When i complained to a chemist,, he gave me a cheaper one of 500naira.. There were slight changes,, but d stool is still not strong sir.

My own conclusion is its d mucus dt comes out wt my faeces is d one making me losing my body.. Like immune system is affected..

Alright. First, you immunity is not affected in anyway. Mucus coming with your faeces may also be the reason you are loosing weight too. You need to understand it is high time you stopped drinking alcohol. It is either affecting the walls of your digestive tract or the enzymes helping in the digestion of your food. Alcohol with fatty foods does not go well in this kind condition, and you may likely stool when you drink after a fatty diet.
It is also not a bad thing to poop early in the morning. However, kind of stool(ing) matters. You may go to the lab to have your faeces analyse for cyst, larvae, mature worms or even bacterial load just to be assured of what the cause may be. Write me back when you do. But for the now, stop drinking alcohol and your faecal concentration will improve.

Gee64:
Dear Doctor,
Please I want to know if Lamictal recommended for seizure actually cures it.
Secod, I understand it has a frightening side-effect. Is it a safe medication for seizure?

Well, no medication in seizure management serves as a cure.
Lamictal is a broad spectrum antiseizure drug, it is a safe one provided all things being equal.

samuel19222:
it can be seen on both foot of mine, and some times it get itchy and when I do scratch it, it turns to wound, been battling with it for two weeks or more now, please help me out, thanks for your reply.

Go and buy any of the Miconazole or Terbinafine cream. Applied on the lesion for both morning and night. An off prescription use of Benzoyl benzoate( mainly for scabies) can be helpful to quickly dry off the surface of the lesion and allow infiltration of the mycotic creams- Miconazole or Terbinafine.
Prevention:
1) Change your stockings.
2) Avoid walking barefooted on wet floors.
3) Maintain a dry foot habit as much as you can.
4) kindly attend to your blood glucose if you diabetic
5) see that a doctor review any medication you are in for cases of immune suppression.
