6.. Av not gone for any diagnosis..

I believed my immune is affected because my big thighs is now small n not strong.. Same to my tummy..

My heart is beating normal,, no sweating.. I used av ds toned muscles,, but all gone now..

Can I know the name of that antibiotics? What was the changes you observed?
Do you mean to tell me you drink antibiotics every day or, you drink alcohol every day?
Also, how have you been using the antibiotics?

All,

I have not really done much to cover those sending mails
even though it is still something I may eventually gives
charges on. I have an habit of not checking mails as a
person. Often, why I insist on using instant messengers such
as WhatsApp,it is so convenient for me.

Should some of you still prefers writing mails, i would prefer
you send me a Nairaland PM signal after sending the mail
( into my normal mail address) so as to signal to me a
recent mail has been sent. This will make me to check the
message and hasten a faster reply. Nonetheless, it would
have been better to get across to me faster on WhatsApp
(especially the evening hours) than through any other
medium.


Both my mail address and my Messenger's number are
located in my signature just for those lagging around in
finding them

Hello Doctors in the house. I'm on a daily dose of Amlodipine 10mg in the mornings for High BP. I also just started anti-malaria treatment today (Coartem).

I haven't been sleeping well lately and I intend to take Lexotan to aid sleep tonight.

Is it safe to take Lexotan with Coartem while using Amlodipine? I'll appreciate a response. Thank you.

Very safe though I am of the thought that the Benzodiazepines (Lexotan) may upgrade metabolic activity affecting the other drugs. This may affect Coartem blood level and the short term use to which you insist on using it may not be dully established. I would advice you make use of it hours before both the Calcium channel (Amlodipine) and Coartem just to have a stone at hand to kill two birds.

Didijiji:
just came in from seeing a doctor in a general hospital. No test,xray or scan but made the prescriptions below for me

Okay.

Flakky26:
Doctor recommended clomid for me. Can u share your experience of using clomid? How effective is it?

This question is vague. You did not tell what lead to your being prescribed a Clomid meds. Effective for what?
Is it effective for abortion? Effective for diarrhea? Or, effective for headache? (Smiles)

luckypato:
Please doc, what's the most common symptom of herpes?
Cause I've got 2 unbroken sores between my left fingers with the tips clear, like it's water inside the.
I have some itchy spots that look like mosquito bites on my wrist, under arms and shoulders, one on my waist, 2 spots below my groin and some itchy feeling around my ankles like its mosquito bites.
I have felt a little feverish for several days, the harmattan on the 2nd hit me harder than most.

I last had sex on the 15th of dec, with protection. I shaved my pubic region the morning of that day also.

Please i need ur opinion...

Since when has this been?

Aaaaarghmed:
I feel it might cause low sperm count or also cause illness in the guy.educate me if am wrong

A man's seminal quality and quantity is totally independent of a woman's menstruation. Sex during her period has no reaching arm to a man's semen character control room. Thus, the idea of low sperm is purely a myth.
Blood study done on menstruating women showed an increased in levels of white blood cells during periods covering from her ovulation and bleeding. This actually, is due not to infection per se but because of the inflammatory activities that is involve in both phases of her cycle. This wake up of white blood cells raises her immunity in one sense, and that it would be quite impossible to pass an infection provided all things being equal and balanced.

The only way to cure diabetes is to restore ur stomach acid to the normal level (ph 1 or 2)

Class for yourself you know book.

Aaaaarghmed:
pls doctor what are the side effect of having sex with a menstruating lady.

I will love to know what side effects you were having in mind before posting this question?

Didijiji:
Please Doc, its like am carrying one big stone at my back... Like central part of the back with expanded area and little pains radiating to the neck and shoulder. Atimes to the flanks.

It is worrying me o and really painful

Have an appointment with a physical doctor if this serious from your side. A physical examination should be done to know what could be responsible before anything else.

Lydon01:
Sometimes last yr i missed my period for 3 months and i was having vaginal itching and smelly discharge the Dr asked me to go for pelvic scan and it was detected that i have pid it was treated and my period resumed until last month when i didn't see it, now i don't have any itching neither do i have any smelly vagina discharge, so i don't think it's pid this time.

You can still be right but cases of asymptomatic PID that ended in causing blockage of the fallopian tube(s) are numerous. You just can't be sure until a confirmatory culturing has been done.

Lydon01:
Thanks for your help, but pls i'll like to ask for the type of signs and symptoms you are referring to

Perhaps, symptoms like irregular menstrual cycle, bleeding in between cycles, short bleeding interval, nipple discharges, frequency abdominal pains, mood swings, low sex drive, joint pains etc...

uckyra:
Hi, good day sir, i constanly have Head ache, i Need help

Have you seen a doctor about this? What did he say of it?

highbee02:
Please Dr. In case of hemorrhoidectomy, how long will the bowel incontinence last? This has been my nightmare and what are the other risks

I will appreciate if you get this information from the surgeon himself. Thank you.

Lydon01:
Good morning Dr in the house pls i need your help,i had my period in November but i didn't see it in December i'm not pregnant because i didn't have sexual intercourse and i also have vigina dryness what could be wrong with me,i need your help urgently because i'm working towards conceiving a baby won't this affect it?

A drying vaginal does not directly stand as a barrier to conceiving in anyway. Some vaginal dryness are normal and psychogenic and would only become worse with stress and fear. Most dryness are relative to several factors to which affects the normal cellular architecture of the vagina in the long run. This could be irritation from soaps, some medications, perfumes and even some lubricants.
Much extensively, other factors to have interest in may be alterations in your ovarian hormone concentration, aging and vaginal infections. The causes therefore are numerous.
If trying sex has become painful on numerous times, you may have to seek a doctor's help on it. This may welcome investigation for STI/PID/UTI. Your doctor may see the need to help with any useful lubricant while you wait for the vaginal dryness to improve provided the dryness is not infection related. If this is obviously not working out, then getting to know your ovarian hormone concentration may be important especially if the dryness is coming up with other symptoms and signs.
However, if you are patient enough most dryness selflimit on their own.

ShazamBilly:
Yes sir... That's what I' will adhere too

Good.

flexiblegrl, I may not reply your PM as I do always find it difficult to access mails sent by it.

ShazamBilly:
Thank you sir... Have done a background check on the cream... It has tablet too.

Will get it from a pharmacy today... I will update you on the progress report.

I insist on topical administration and not oral.

Happy New year everyone, I will be doing my best to cover up two more threads of this kind. On several bases I have noticed more problems on hormones in Nairaland than any other forms. I will be opened to serve in a little capacity to give explanation to hormonal medicine and diseases while I last here.
This thread should only Hormonal problems and no other. Officially, It would be nice to have done or enzymes and hormonal assay and checks before posting your problems. Nonetheless if you suspect any problem you have tight now being hormonal can also be posted.
This thread should cover explanations/diseases/solution to common cases as:
1) Diabetes mellitus
2) Cushing's disease
3) Secondary hypertension
4) Conn's syndrome
5) Pregnancy related hormonal changes
6) Obesity
7) Cirrhosis
8 ) Abnormality in growth development
9) Thyroid problems
and many more.
Your post should be simple and easy to understand. Thanks!

ShazamBilly:
Sent sir

Alright, it looks more like Tinea versicolor( refer often as eczema though is not). Try a Clotrimazole cream on your skin for at most 4weeks. You may decide to use in addition Zinc pyrithione soap for rapidity, or even alone.
You have to be patient with it, it does not go that faster from the skin as you may expect. Report to me after those times have been covered and yet no change.
You may likely stop any form of medication that is in one way affecting your immunity, you may have to allow the body have fresh air, remove dust from your clothes and take bath seriously.

Manaan:
Thank you so much Doctor, I really appreciate

.

You are welcome.

Manaan:
24years

It is a good age.

flexiblegrl:
Thank you sir, close to 2 years

So, what have you and Oga done to show all is alright? Age?

Rilwayne001:
Exactly what's been done. Thanks.

Hope she is doing fine now?

Manaan:
Thank you Doctor, I will like to know the side effects of the two treatments. The doctor mentioned weight loss and hair loss probably.

Yes! Those are the obvious effect of Chemotherapy among the others. This may cause the doctor to permit her shaving all hair on her scalp.
See Chemotherapy (on cancer treating patient) as an wholistic approach to fighting foreign cells that have gone malignant and invasive. The idea of malignancy makes every medical doctor to think there is some degree of metastasis(spreading). So, the best way to handle it is to attack the body in whole rather than just the place of clinical presentation.
This means Chemotherapy attacks both the normal body cells and the foreign one. If it's just as I explained then the following may seem to be effects on Chemotherapy treatment:
1) Loss of hair
2) loss of weight
3)loss of appetite
4) tendency to suffer infection
5) anemia
6) amnesia
7) lethargy
8.) can worsen some conditions if not known as at that time.

How old is she?
