Bankyshinani:
Thank you very much. may God bless your handwork. please,what should be the next line of action for both male and female?

Male:

The need to keep a great spirit and healthy lifestyle should be a constant practice. This need to maintain an average healthy lifestyle should follow with loss in weight(in case of obesity) or gain in weight (for any case of anorexia). The use of alcohol and hard use of drugs should not be overlooked.

A stress-free life is welcome. Problems with regards to attention to the family, job and socials should be attended to or rather seek help from close associates just to relieve the burden on him. Depression is an evil spirit that eats the good of everything in itself. See that this should be avoided and factors leading to it should be sought out and dealt with it.

Fruit eating can help improve sperm count. Fruit like watermelon, banana, soursop, apple, and many others. Diet rich in red meat, fish, pork and liver can improve sperm counts. The use of fish oil is also okay.
Vitamins such as E, B6,folic acid and C with mineral elements such as Zinc, magnesium, copper and selenium can improve sperm counts.
So, he can use prenatal products covering vitamins and mineral elements obviously containing no female reproductive hormone content.
Other product worth trying are Black seeds, chestnut and panax ginseng.

If this was the first SFA another should be done elsewhere to confirm the former. The need to do a hormone test may be necessary if after doing all these within 6months and no improvement.

deeem:
Hi Doc,the miscarriage bleeding has stopped, no more cramps and the likes . My question is that should I wait for my menstrual flow before I start trying again for a baby? Or can I start trying immediately?

You can start trying for pregnancy immediately.

Bankyshinani:
This is it....kindly help analyze it. am so grateful

Man:
Oligospermia i.e. a low sperm count. Though morphology is okay, increase in sperm count will appreciate the "fast progressives'.
The scanty staphylococcus spp shouldn't be the major management for this as it may not actually be the cause to the fall in normal count criterion as it is now. However, if you choose to proper use of drug and time duration should be adhere to.
What should he do next?

Female:
Candida albican is a normal vaginal housing living element. You may not seek treatment in the absence of any clinical complaint or symptoms as it may not lead to any serious clinical consequences. Presenting with symptoms own to it, you are advised to use antifungals sensitive to it. Treating the Staphylococcus spp is also not of any primary importance since it is scanty and obviously normal in some individuals. But if you choose to, treatment should be base on sensitivity and time followed.

Bankyshinani:
can someone help me analyze dis two lab results asap?

Not bright enough.

This thread is created to allow sharing of Sexually Transmitted Disease(STDs) and Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs) related problems.

This thread is not to proffer solution to male and female infertility not in relation to the subject of discourse. Regarding the former, it is advised that one such in need should follow with other threads of significance.
Furthermore,problems should be written short and precise covering present and previous health history concern to the presenting complaint.

Queen1010:
Hello every one, been ttc for a while now. Everything seems ok from my end. However my dh sfa showed 17million count and low motility. Been wondering if that's the reason for our delay. Is it possible to get pregnant with that result? what are the best suggestions for improvement. Thanks

Let me have a view of the SFA though you wrote 17million.

elizino:
Please mamas and papas , Anyone struggling with retrograde ejaculation and how did you overcome it? Please I would really appreciate a response. Thanks

Are you experiencing a backward flow of semen just when you want to ejaculate?

FlutterDollar99:
I wanted to ask. Does staying away from sex for a while increases sperm quality ?

Yes it does provided there are no serious reproductive or urinary problems before and during break from sex.

mohsquaring:
Hello...I have been a silent reader here for a while, but I went for sfa of recent and attached is the result of the sfa.....I will the experienced ones here help out with the analysis

Count is low, oligospermia.
Other semen criteria went well.

BeautyBeacon:
My husband did a SFA test. Doctors in the house, what does it say.

Time produced- 1.45
Volume 2.3m/s
Viscosity: moderate
PH: 6.5
Morphology: 20% amorphous
Mortility: 60% actively motile
15% sluggishly motile
25% dead cells
Count: 20.5x10^6

This SFA is good to go. No qualms.

harlee:
Hello doc,pls I need ur help, I am addicted to masturbating, now the issue is that whenever I do so I don't produce as much sperm as I used to and I cum quickly, pls help,how do I get back to my old self of strong and long lasting erection and ejaculation. Thanks

What sort of help do you want, is it that you are afraid to having a poor semen volume and quick ejaculation at same time during your masturbation? Or, when having sex with a partner you just find out those problems?
Or, you want an advice on how to stop masturbation?

uobimba:
Please doctors, a woman who hardly gets sexual feelings but has been tested to have no infection,what could be a way out because dr said she will need much of pre-intimacy before she can come up

Is this woman your wife?
Is she aware of this problem of your presenting complaint?

Bankyshinani:
please doctors in the house,can you help me analyze this.....

•Normal shaped uterus(womb) with normal size dimension
•Uterine lining(the endometrium) has normal sustaining thickness
•Echo pattern is homogenous with the uterus means, it is either not high or low. This simply means, there is no other additional tissue in the uterus apart from what it is consist as at the time this USS was done. We should from this expect that there wasn't any;
a) cancer
b) tumor like fibroid or polyps
•At your right was located a bag of fluidic content primary conserved to the ovary at that side. Dimension is still quite small and may drain out if you kindly watch over time duration as advised.
• Empty uterus(womb)
• No sign of a former pregnancy too.

sharaff6:
Good Evening,Pls Am Seriously Having Mouth Bitterness & Some Kind Burning Too. Do I Need To See A Dental Have Been Using MouthWash The Bitterness Is Still There With The Burning.

Since you refused on answering those questions, my sincere advise is that go and see the doctor.

luckypato:
I asked her further about the blood pressure, She had to confirm from the nurse, its actually 100/60.

Then it is okay. I only marvelled how come her systolic pressure could get so low as 60mmhg and not even an orthostatic hypotension( fainting on trying to stand) didn't occur.

Please be cleared with your information next time, a wrong health advise is as deadly as a badly done surgery which can happen in this case.

N.B- she can take normal salty meals as against former.

tunapa4dem:
Pls doctor,which hospital can someone visit for venous ulcer of the leg.

If your leg ulcer refuse to heal perhaps due to high blood sugar or tumor infiltration or slow dynamics of venous flow or whatever the cause may be, you have to seek management from a university teaching hospital.
Clinic/Ward of relevance:
1. Surgery clinic/ward
2. Geriatics unit(depending on your age)
3. Diabetic health center/unit

OtunbaBlack:
May I suggest that those drugs are the culprit?.. I will advice she stops people on here have complained of side effects from Cipro and flagyl and tendon rupture and swollen legs are one of many I will advice she stops the drugs at once ..? Am not a doctor but am a victim of the horrible side effect of the drug.. sorry 2balls for detailing the thread but I had to for the sake of her sanity.

Otunba.

Our duty here is really not to change her physical doctor's prescription since she was physical examined before therapeutics. She has done the complaint already and the doctor has cleared her off as her complaint were side effects of drug use. Considering your own side, it is hers to observe her condition if it is improving or not. It is normal in some adult female to have swelling of either the face or leg after D n C but it shouldn't stay that long. Ciprofloxacin is actually enough and to prevent shock from sepsis and the paracetamol as paliatives. In furtherance to this, all I have said regarding this should be followed. And if no improvement, she should be taken to the clinic immediately for proper evaluation.

Curvyprecious,

You may just be facing what I term, "late-start-early-retirement", like someone that has Poor ovarian reserve.Lol.

Don't mind me, please!
Kindly do the following let's see what may be around;
1. Pelvic ultrasound.
2. Hormone profiling of your reproductive hormones( LH, FSH, Estradiol, progesterone, prolactin).
3. Antral follicle counting(not much necessary).

My differential diagnosis could likely be:
1. Asymptomatic PCOS
2. Hormonal imbalance either with
i. low level serum estrogen
ii. high level serum estrogen
3. PID
4. No known cause or just a normal body changes.

luckypato:
Thanks so much... It's actually 60/100.
Thank you.

If you are sure, her diastolic pressure is not too bad but her systolic is damn low. This may affect her cardiac output as a result of low ejection fraction. Please monitor her closely and she shouldn't involve in any serious mental and physical exercise as to avoid further health complication, and straight to the clinic should it get worse than it is now.

Improvement should me that systolic should be increasing and diastolic going down to 80. If her diastolic keep getting >100,you may observe further leg swelling and changing in breathing pattern, weakness others.

luckypato:
-Ciprofloaxin, Flagyl and paracetamol
-she does not appear pale
-her appetite hasn't changed, she still eats well
-no Whitening of the nails
-no dried mouth
-she doesn't feel dizzy
-She says its 60/100 as at Thursday
Although she seems fine and she's been going to work since the day of the D and C(she works nights).
She gets to go off tomorrow till Wednesday and actually rest. Thanks for responding.

She will be fine. Proper fluid intake and less use of salt. A little leg exercise may help to move body fluid from the swollen leg. Eating of vegetables and fruits is advisable.

By the way, did you mean to write 100/60 as her bp or 60/100?

luckypato:
Hello, i don't know if I can ask this here because I'm really confused right now....
My Girlfriend and I agreed to do a D and C as she was 3wks pregnant, we used mistoprostol at first, she only felt pain and a little whitish discharge, there was no bleeding. We went for a scan and there was still something in her womb according to the scan and we were advised to do a D and C. We did the D and C in a popular private hospital where the doctor was well-known on the 16th of this month. The Doctor wrote out some drugs to prevent any infections and pain.

Every thing seemed fine, bleeding was light and getting lighter and there wasn't any pain. But since yesterday her breasts became heavy and today her legs seemed a little swollen. I called the doctor and he just said her body is adjusting and it will all disappear after a little while.

My lady is getting scared and I don't have any explanation for this.... Please if you're knowledgeable about this kind of situation, please give me your thoughts and advice. Please nairalanders, i don't know what else to do. Please.

What were the names of drug prescribed for her?
Does she seem to appear pale?
Loss of appetite?
Whitening of the nails?
Dried mouth?
Dizzy on standing up?
Has she been eating well after the D and C?
What is blood pressure now?

Curvyprecious

I want to be well cleared about the age you observed your first menstruation? Do you mean 8 or 18?
Cervical discharge excess exudation is almost an intrinsic character with most adult female though copious cervical release during ovulation is also true. I rather would preferred having you tell me the characteristics, texture of your discharges during your ovulation experience.
Is it sticky to touch?
Does it appear firm on drying?
Is it transparent?

Some questions weren't answered. You may have to finish them over in case it was not left by intention.

Do you experience hair growth in the moustache, chest area, back?
Since you observe a gain in weight, can you tell if this gain is general over the body or focally situated around the face, thigh and hip region?

Now am having chest pain sometimes times sharp pain and mouth bitterness and have some pain in my mouth too . Pls is there anything i can do or test i can go for. Thanks your reply will be appericate

Kindly review the page before this one and give answers to questions raised during interrogation to same complaint presented by Harni and sunnp.
Both questions should be answered on separate leaves.

Furthermore, i will ask some few more questions to finalize(for the now) your issue.

OtunbaBlack:
Sorry I meant the pain and swelling have reduced no he did not carry out another test he actually just treated it like it’s nothing serious and prescribe diuflucan and some other drugs am not certain though .. no no discoloration whatsoever but if I put my hands on my stomach I can feel the inflammation like I said it’s not as severe as it was but am not satisfied.. I have searched the n t for natural ways to get rid of enteritis have not seen anything that helps that why o tabled it before you . PS: I did not take the prescribed drug

May I know why you decided not to use the medications prescribed to help your condition?
Also, you said if you placed your palm on your abdomen, you can feel this inflammation.
What can you say about what you felt?
The word "inflammation" is too general for me to grasp and a term I think you may be misusing or not knowing how to express.
Say your symptoms and if you have something I should see, post it.

Rogodo22:
Little looking tumor under my tongue beside the tooth gum on both sides ..and I don't feel any pain at all from the tumor

Since you have termed it a benign mass, I will admonish you furtherly to confirm this claim of yours by visiting a lab own by pathologist and have him examined and then harvest some of those tissue for histology.
Be encouraged that it is something you can deal with. Go now when it is early.

OtunbaBlack:
It’s after I took Flagyl for tooth extraction.. though have stopped the drugs when I noticed I reacted to it had stomach pain went for an ultrasound I was told I have acute enteritis .. it should resolve by eating clean and drinking enough fluid .. d oak as reduced but I can feel the inflammation still I need it to go fast

How do you feel this inflammation( as pain, swollen abdomen, color changes around the abdomen or anywhere or...)?
Apart from an ultrasound done to confirm this inflammation, what other lab modality were done to affirm this?
Did the doctor carry a physical examination on the abdomen?
Also, did the doctor mention if the inflammation was local to a part of the intestine or general?
Apart from just pain, you may discus other symptoms you are having now.

Finally, what do you mean by the term, "oak"?
