A doctor

Not really accepted as a riskfactor to having breast cancer.

Hello doctor,. for three months now i have been experiencing scanty period. on the first and second day i bleed half a pad which is very unusual as i bleed heavily using more than two pads for the first three day, now i dnt bleed at all on the third day. i went for a pelvic and abdominal scan on day nine of my menstrual cirlcle, resuld showed i av minute fluid in my POD, suggestive of of PID. i felt d result was okay and went ahead to do a culture and urine test on my own. it showed i have a heavy growth of staphylococcus aerues, gps+++, pus cells++. i am currently treating with augumentin 1g and gentamycin. can staphylococcus be the cause, can this treatment i am on cure it. i jus got married and i am nervous if i am going to b fine

It could be or may not. But I am certain if it is not then it is probably hormonal. Treating yourself of those heavy growth is all about writing off infection to look where else could be standing up against all odds.

It is therefore necessary to have your reproductive hormone distribution profiled to check for imbalances with estrogen and progesterone. Attend to your stress, keep proper body nutrition and weight. These may improve your bleeding as well.

Regarding sensitivity, I advise you stay on drugs that were highly marked sensitive after diagnosis. If those you have at your disposal carried those features, then you are good to go.

Is this helpful?

Good morning doctor, someone said metal bra causes cancer one should avoid wearing it. Please how true is this?

Who said that?

Hi doctors in the house. Is there any danger in taking a brand of sidenafil citrate daily or any other day to treat weak erection? Taking it makes me strong and able to last a while. Is there any inherent danger I Could be in. I am 52 years.
Thank you.

You will likely be faced with:

1. Drug tolerance or tachyphylaxis: The more you use it the less useful it becomes. This is one common issue you will soon come up with. This will cause you to push up dosage but it will fastened the tolerance the more. The implication as you think is well written as it may cause a full blown loss in erection or into an exact former state.

2. Hypotension: Ensure to maintain daily dosage, also to avoid using Sildenafil with many other antihypertenisves. You will like face hypotension as you aged with it.

3. Others are not so bad, you may check the drug leaflet for more info.

Hello 2Ballz.... Should I be worried?

Apology, I forgot to give answers being carried away by newer ones.

She should see her doctor immediately, ciprofloxacin group of family have been known to cause minor to serious peripheral (not from the brain or spinal cord) neuropathy, which may be responsible for the numbness especially if she is susceptible to it by other ways around.

Gabaleve:
For a week
She started complaining after 2weeks and she's 25

You didn't tell me the result of the urine microscopy and culture, and the sensitivity used by her formerly used.
It is likely a sequelae and once again, you are advised to do a urine microscopy and culture or Urethral swab in a medical laboratory(not in the former place) as to compare the former result with the present.
This is to rule out infection(especially recurrence). But if it is, then you are advised to follow sensitivity and keep strictly to duration of treatment.

Let me know when the swab is done.

Gabaleve:
Yes she saw a doctor and a urine test was conducted and was treated for UTI and the pain disappeared for a while, she went back to complain n she was asked to go for a scan

What was implicated from the Urethral swab or urine m/c/s done?
How long was she in the treatment?
And how long gone before she started complaining?
How old is she?

Mikolion87:
This is not an argument on who should see her or not bro, that is why investigations would be carried out too.

By the way, from your comments, I can tell you know little or nothing about dentistry or dental specialties (You probably didn't have dentistry in your school). What do you think Oral Medicine specialists or oral and maxillofacial pathologists study? Teeth alone? And you probably think dentists set out to start studying the "teeth" without training in Medicine too.. Funny you. Go and read about the Curriculum of dentistry in Nigeria. It's not just about the "teeth", it incorporates being "medically trained" as well (mbbs exams).. And I hope you're not thinking dentists are same as dental technologists and hygienists (dental auxilliaries). If I start lecturing you on arrays of medical disorders managed by oral medicine specialists, you'll be amazed that most of these have nothing to do with "the teeth". In my opinion, I think the name "dentistry" is a misnomer..

Anyways, let's Focus on the patient here. So, which specialty do you think should handle this case? #smiles. Bear in mind that the patient did not make any mention of any chest pain or what have you (pointing to a primary or local cause rather than a secondary or systemic cause). Whichever is the case, the oral medicine specialist is medically and dentally trained to diagnose and treat the ailment, or make appropriate referral if a secondary cause is implicated.

I am very sure you wrote BMS not reading his posts before now. In fact, the reason he mentioned me was problem with Chest pains and bitter mouth symptoms( he gave on clerking him). He has also history of hypertension too.
I have known this man to provide answers incompletely and the very reason I shifted to annul in providing help.
There was a time he created a thread on a complaint on hypertension, I placed him on clerking and it ended in futility. No responds. Weeks later, he came into this thread and complained of chest pain. I had to asked him to give answers to already made questions I had thrown to some persons who had similar complaints. The questions were in two part, he answered one group of questions and left the other. Go up the pages you will see things yourself.

I am not a magician, if I should help anyone here they should be ready and open to answer all questions that comes from me, if he couldn't, it is better I attend to other people that are ready. In this same vain, you brushed in quickly without asking for history and place BMS on him.

Try and see it yourself!

Regarding whom he should see, a trained medical doctor is enough. If he chooses for Dental doctor, it is okay too.

Gabaleve:
Good morning, I have been experiencing right abdominal pain and waist pain for some months now went for an ultrasound and nothing was found, please what could be the cause

Have you seen a doctor on this before?
Or, you went ahead to do an ultrasound?

LaGirlKesha:
Thank you for your advice. I started my flow today and I already feel much better.

Okay, you're welcome.

Mikolion87:
Because of the burning sensation and bitter taste she complained of. Sometimes the taste can be metallic. Other symptoms are xerostomia (dry mouth) and increased thirst...

Though it is called BMS does not mean the Dentist should be one to see for the fact that BMS are many group of causes and little a dental complaint get to do with it.
Symptoms such as HBP, chest pains, bittermouth taste and others which he answered in agreement plus these(dry mouth and increase thirst) or minus them does point him to a medically trained doctor than a Dental doctor.

kidscamp:
Good morning, please am experiencing pain at the end of my urinary organ. Doctors in the house what could be the cause and solution to this problem.

Kindly tell us where you are having the pain, the term "urinary organ" as used by you is insensible for me to understand you.

Misspure:
Nothing, just see myself not having appetite for food. Any help?

You may do the following to help cause you to increase your appetite for the want of food:

1. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Have something to do to keep your head and mind going. Keep yourself away from home.

2. Intake of little alcohol can helps freshened your want from food.

3. Eat snacks, biscuits and little of soft drinks especially some hours before meal.

4. Early morning exercise and a good sleep can raise up your appetite threshold.

5. Eat your likes, eat your affordable likes and little worry about what you can't afford.

6. Make use of useful food substitutes to enrich your appetite. For example, instead of eating rice all the time, prepare a nice lovely jollof with a spaghetti. Instead of garri flakes, you may try on yam, corn or wheat flour for your soup. Place variety over conservative staple food in a completely sense.

7. Spice up your food. Go into the market enough chicken, goat meat, pomo and many others, lace the surface of the food to your liking.

8. Care for others. One way to enrich your appetite is actually to care for others. When you choose to cook for a friend that is willing to eat your food, you will be joyous to eat your food. Your appetite will come up when you eat with crowd than ypu eating alone.

9. Learn to cook should you haven't.

10. Are you stressed in anyway? Is there anything really bothering you? You lost someone or job? You are preparing for an exams or anything? Do you have some bills yet to pay?

Apart, from this loss in appetite what other symptoms do you have?

IamZod:
I did a chest scan already and my chest was clear. Can i go to a lab and asked them to do the rest for me? Thank you Doc.

Sure!

IamZod:
Age: 27

Yes i do experience heaviness to stand after lying down for a while.

Yes it comes and go especially if i sleep and wake up i feel better for a while bit it comes again and i also feel dizzy too.

No. I have treated for malaria and thyphiod.

The chest congestion felt like my chest was so tight that i just couldn't breathe. I had to take ventolin for a while to open my airways.

My work was laundry and dry cleaning but i have stopped it now.

No i haven't been missing meals.

I don't sweat much.

Yes i pass urine alot but maybe because i started to drink water more often.

Yes i personally started to drank water more often.

Last i check it was 130 over 75.

My dad had Asthma but he's outgrown it now.

Thanks.

For the now maintain hydration as much as you can. Common cause of lightheadedness are dehydration and postural hypotension. You pressure may be okay on sitting down but falls on standing. This may just be a reason for the weaning on standing for a long time. However, lack of certaing minerals can stand as contributing factors. If I were you, I would try to:
1. Do a chest scan
2. RBC and WBC count with differentials
3. Thyroid hormone activities profiling
4. Knowing your blood concentration of iron, calcium, sodium and magnesium.

Hello
Good Morning
I don't know if this is related to the Cipro my lady took but she's been having a kind of numbing/weak feeling in her left leg and left hand and sometimes her left side since 27th April. She feels it around the left bicep, left wrist, the left leg itself(feet and lap not included) and then her left side, It goes and comes but it isn't going away completely....I
Any advice would be appreciated...
She took Ciprofloaxin for 5days 2perday
2nd of this month she took a pain reliever(orphesic) as recommended by a doctor.... It still persisted after this.

Evening. How can you tell this is resulting the ciprofloxacin drug? How was this administered to her? Does this presenting complaint started the drug use?

Domlayomi:
I have taken some herbs, not working, yet to try any tablets.

If all you have done was to take herbs then you haven't started anything. I prefer you see a doctor first before any input from me.

Mikolion87:
I don't know if you've already attended to the problem. If you have not, you should visit a dental specialist referred to as Oral Pathologist or Oral medicine specialist. I think you may have what we call "burning mouth syndrome". Not every dental ailment is all about mouthwashes.. Some (such as this) require some investigations and actual medical treatment by the doctor (dental surgeon/specialist). Visit a teaching hospital with various dental departments

Why BMS?

dudesexy111:
Good evening doctors in the house please i dont know what is wrong with my girlfriend she has been complaining of abdomen pain recently and there was even a day she said when she went to unirate it was deep yellow and her abdomen started to pain her and we just had sex 2times this month and i never released inside and i made sure the withdrawal method was perfect and please what could be the causes of the abdomen pain and deep yellow urine sometimes she complain of back pain too.

You and your sexpartner should do a Urine m/c/s in a reputable medical laboratory center not actually because of the urine color but speculation due to suspicion. A home dipstick test can also be helpful to know other causes of the deep yellow coloration apart from infection.
Should you are suspecting a leading with pregnancy if at all she has not seen her period after the did was done, a home pregnancy tes can be of a simple trial.

LaGirlKesha:
I still get quite bloated and gassy. My abdomen is distended. I still can't draw a full deep breath, it seems one of my nostrils is always blocked. The palpitations are still experienced but I didn't get pain in my lower abdomen and lower back today. I had slightly sore breasts today tho and I'm expecting my period to start today. So far, it hasn't started yet.

Back home or still in the clinic?

Domlayomi:
I'm 27 years

it's very flat doesn't erect by itself, and the size is kinda alarming very small.. though I do hv erection Wen I intend mkn love but doesn't last at all.

it's becoming irreversible sir

You are yet to answer the question, sir. Please,give answer simple and straight.
You may have s small p.enis does not meant it is shrinking.
Alright, what have you done so far on this?

LaGirlKesha:
Doctor please I had an unusual light period in April and since then have not been feeling like myself. I experienced bloating, shortness of breath, palpitations and painful cramping in my lower abdomen and lower back. I was sent for abdominopelvic scan and the result say no cyesis seen or product of conception. But I've noticed since then my breasts are bigger altho they don't hurt. And so is my abdomen. The bloating isn't going away. I suspected pregnancy but I've done 3 urine strip and 3 blood test all negative. The scan also showed fluid in Pod and I was put on antibiotics since last week Wed, but I'm not feeling much better. Through all this, no physical exam was done and I fear I might be pregnant. Am I just being paranoid? Please help if you can. Thanks

I am encouraged to tell you that you will recuperate soon. I am also of the expectation that you may experience normal monthly bleeding not as you might have been expecting. This is to encourage you to relax and fix your mind in getting better.
Should this bloating and flatus removing consist over some period of time, kindly call for help. That should not be any problem. But for the now relax and enjoy the best of life while you wait to carry pregnancy with time.

digital2018:
Thank you for your reply.

I am a male adult Nigerian of 29years old.I have not suffered from any of the above illnesses (seizures or any heart problem, infection or blood pressure,blood sugar or experienced any accident).
The tests are for the numbness. He just said I should go and do the test even when I subtly asked why I should go and do the above tests, his reply was that I should go and do it.
The only sickness that took me to hospital in the time past was malaria/typhoid, which normally surfaces once in blue moon.

Thank you.

The doctor told the check for varices and hormonal assay were to check numbness?
Which hormones were assayed?

IamZod:
Good day doc. For weeks now i have been having this lightheaded feeling. It will be like my head and neck are shaking a bit and any noise makes me shock too.

When it started i went to the hospital and was diagnosed with malaria and thyphiod, which i have treated already.

Now i just sit at home, rest and sleep but i still feel lightheaded.

What could be the issue.


Note: Before my being sick, i was working so hard and i feel the stress broke me down.
I started having some shortness in breath and chest congestion of which i was prescribed zannit antibiotics and that's all gone now.

Age?
Do you experience as well a kind of heaviness to stand after lying down for sometimes and when you eventually does, you feel like slipping off?
Does it come and go, the lightheadedness?
Does it come sometimes with dizziness?
Are you recovering from any illness?
What do you mean by a chest congestion, describe it for me.

What kind of work you do?
Do you think, you are being stressed?
Have you being missing meals?
Do you sweat often?
Do you find yourself thirsty often?
Do you pass urine in greater frequency?
How much of water do you take daily?

Do you know your blood pressure?
Any history of any health problem you have had before?

Curvyprecious:
pls how much does hormone profile and fsh costs

Just know that price varies with places. But then, holding up 20k-25kk can fix it up.

Domlayomi:
please doctor in the house, I think I need help, my penis has been shrinking the past few months, like I don't even have morning erection, let's say no erection not unless I try playing with my manhood before it gets hard a Lil. tried hvn sex I come almost immediately... told a doctor friend he prescribed Viagra, hvnt made use of it. but I need to ask what test can I go for to know what wrong. I hv done diabetes test it's in the normal range. thanks

How old are you?
How can you describe vividly to my understanding that your penis is shrinking?
Is this assumed penile shrinking reversible or irreversible with the time you have observed it so far?

LaGirlKesha:
Thank you for responding. It was on April 12. The 1st day was just spotting but by the 2nd day I filled about 3 pads. 3rd day was light bleeding and 4th and 5th day was spotting.

I called it a light period because usually from day 1 to 3, I would have used almost 2 packs of always.

How are you faring now?
Okay, when are you suppose to see your next menstrual flow?

LaGirlKesha:
Doctor please I had an unusual light period in April and since then have not been feeling like myself.

Relax! Relax!!
When did you see that last light menstrual period of yours?

Shimia:
Hi Doc,

Thanks for this thread. I have had Bell's Palsy in the past and I had to use Prednisolone. Then I started gaining weight and recently put on 16kg within a year. I stumbled on an article about Cushing syndrome and disease. The symptoms are similar to some challenges I have like rapid weight gain, moon face, buffalo hump. Please what do I do next?

These are Cushingoid, are you sure about these features?
How long were you in Prednisolone and when did you stop using it?
Your age? Sex?
If you are a female, you may tell anything to consider on your menstrual health.
Do you also have much/several hair growth in male peculiar zones of the body?

digital2018:
What I mean by right leg is from right foot to right buttocks.
By numbness I mean feeling of weakness. I can't start on my right leg for 10seconds. I can't carry anything on my right lap alone. I think that particular leg is always shaking or vibrating inside more than the left leg.
I am referring to the middle of left buttocks.
I went for scrotal ultrasound, to check for varicocele and hormonal analysis. But lab result showed that I am fine.
He just examined me physically by examining(looking at)my leg and my scrotal sacs.

Age?
Sex?
Why were you checking for varices and doing hormonal assay, was it for the numbness or some other complaint?
Did you have any accident, perhaps a simple fall?
Suffered any infection before?
Blood pressure?
Blood sugar or any related blood sugar analysis?
Any heart problem or any health problem that have warranted your seeing a doctor most of the time now or before apart from this numbness?
Have you suffered seizures before?

I may examine you on just 3 systems after but I alter in this decision depending on how you give reply. Apart from this, you will still have to see a doctor for full prep.

Leonardomike:
Doctor please I have been suffering from insomnia, I can't get a nice night rest, can bacteria b the cause of my problem ?

This is not the right thread to ask this sort of question. Why not use thread for General health comaint by Balogun and let's see what comes out of it.

digital2018:
Good evening sir. I feel numbness in my right leg and my buttocks, to the extent that I find it difficult to walk sometimes. Recently, I have to go for lab tests as recommended by a doctor at UNTH, Enugu after physical examination but the lab results shows that I am OK. This sickness has nothing to do with my bones as I don't feel pain in my bones at all. The doctor finally prescribed some drugs like paracetamol, vitamins and intravenous injection for me and reassured me that I will get well after taking those drugs but I still feel same numbness in my right leg, buttocks and at times in my right hand up till now.
Please what do I do in this case?

First, let me get to know your definition of what you meant by the term, numbness?
When you write "leg", do you mean your thigh(lap), the leg(holding your calf) plus your foot? Or, which part?
When you write "hand", do you mean your arm, your forearm then joining the hand(containing your palm) together? If not, which part?
When you write "buttocks", which side/part(upper/down[left/right]) of the buttocks?
Is it both side of the buttocks?

Can you recall what kind or sort of physically examination he did for you?
Can you tell what lab work he did with respect to your complaint?


Let's start here before I take proper history.
