Am loosing weigth after recovering from malaria. Pls Doc is there is there any test i can go for to know what is happing with me. Also feeling some pains in my mouth . Thanks

Lapses in weight gain is normal during a malarial illness and into some days-weeks into recuperation. This depends on many factors which is not in scope by me to cover.
How long did you suffer this malaria fever?
How long have you been recovering from this sickness?
What kind of mouth pain?
Swollen gums?
Soreness?
Swollen jaw?
Pains passing food down the gullet?
Soreness of the tongue?
What?

I hope she is alright and the pregnancy is alive and kicking. But with no yolk sac in view at the 5th week is a slow motion to conception exit. Or, there was not implantation at all which is a principal mechanism of Levornogestrel containing contraceptives as orchestrated by Postinor.
Hope for the best and be around your woman as much as you can.

Chilead.
That part of your excessive yawning escaped me. When you get this mention me, so I can ask some few question. Apology I bother you once again after those plenty JAMB questions (laughs!).

jamesbridget13:
thank you doctor. Your response has gladen my heart because fear don dey catch me incase u say otherwise. Bless u sir. So grateful

You are welcome.

royaltown:
yes, started my period already.

CD5 of your cycle falls under the Follicular phase.
What to expect in early days into your cycle:
1. LH should be normally low
2. FSH should be expectedly low cause it just 5days into the cycle.
3. Progesterone should be expectedly low.
5. Estradiol should also be expected low but increases to its peak 1-2days to ovulation.

Your profiling followed as expected.
Yet, this profiling is not promising enough to implicate anything, why?
1. Using one single cycle day may not show the significance of almost all the hormones.
2. If you chose to run more than one hormone then more than one cycle days should be applicable. For example, you choose to run FSH, Estradiol at CD3-5 and then LH/progesterone at CD 21.
3. If you desire to do as you present before us now, this result only become useful when more tracking is done in same cycle. After this CD5,you do another tracking midway into your cycle and lastly a third one at the 21th day. You will be presenting 3 sheets and not one as you did here.

Prolactin is okay, your nipple discharge after a hard press on your breast is normal. Anyone likely pregnant before may suffer that fate.
As touching your LH/FSH ratio, it is 1:2. A moderate LH that does not show PCOS.

Hello Good afternoon. There is a bit of confusion that besiege me as I type.

Here is the summary of my wife's story

She began to feel some symptoms like nausea,fatigue and something that resembles implantation bleeding. We ran to the hospital to test and her blood tested positive. We came home but her urine tested negative.

Since blood gives a more legit information about hCG, we weren't perturbed about her urine.

But to our surprise, she had her menstrual period the next cycle, that is about 2 weeks time. We rushed back to the hospital to complain. The doctor did an ultrasound scan, but nothing was found. Not even the embryo sac. He asked us to come back after two weeks for another scan, since it might be an early pregnancy.

We rushed back to the hospital when it was about 5weeks, blood still testing positive, urine testing negative, and the scan couldn't pick anything up. I also need to say that she hasn't missed any menstrual period.

What could be likely for all of these?? Please help. The suspense is killing me

.

How old is the pregnancy?
I am suspecting this is a case of Blighted Ovum or any other chromosomal anomaly that comes during an ovum activation.

jamesbridget13:
Good evening doctor
To d glory of God, d boil has burst on its own today. The pain doctor can only be imagined.

But pls doctor i have a question. A mum assisted me in pressing d boil n lots of pus/blood was removed but d place is still swollen, my question now is can i just leave it to be coming out by itself gradually while i continue to take d ampiclox d doctor prescribed or must i press everything out myself? D pain i passed through when dat woman was pressing d boil hmmm!

Dooh! Doooh!!

Don't worry about draining it, it will drain out itself.
Remain on the ampiclox;you can apply a warm compress to fasten healing.

If you say no to all these I don't think you have problem with excess salivation but problem with decrease clearance of saliva. This is usually common with those having inflammation with the Waldeyer's ring at the back of the oral groove- tonsillitis.
However, I am not suspecting a nerve failure anywhere though you have problem making speech it may have resulted due to the excess salivation but if it is not, then a doctor still needs to check up and examine the nerves that control the muscles of the tongue and essential for salivation reflex.
Besides, please see a doctor to carry out special check on your mouth and to the laboratory to have a check on your WBC. For the sake of the metallic taste, you also need to have a check up for excess copper in the blood.
For the now:
1.Reduce your intake of starch especially before going to bed.
2. Use good toothpaste and a mouthwash.
3. Eat pepper fruit( I don't know the common name but it's a small seed fruit)
4. Keep away from welding environment that could expose you to metallic fumes.
5. Have a regular use of Vitamin B3.
6. Some antibiotics may be of help in cases of infection but first check your WBC.
7. Drug such as Amitriptyline can be helpful . Meet doctor for prescription.

Let me be well cleared, you meant all the reproductive hormones were done at your CD 5?

Chileads:
Yea

Are you the one affected?
Do you suffer drooling sometimes?
Do you have problem moving food from the corner of the mouth to the central oral cavity?
Do you have problem with facial expression?
Do you forget things easily and perhaps have a scratchy skin and then mouth sores either in the mouth or corner of it?
Does problem of yours started with dryness of the mouth before now?
Do you have problem making speech?
Do you find it difficult to roll your masticated meal in your mouth?
Do you vomit frequently or have a feel to?
Have you once suffered peptic ulcer disease and was it well treated?
Do you observe an early bitterness of your mouth in the morning?
Any case of constipation?
Do you use any medication, can I know medications you have so far been on since this started or before it started?

Please give answer to all questions.

Chileads:
Mouth that produces excessive saliva and excessive yawning even when you had enough sleep. Have been happening since 2016

This is a case of Sialorrhea.

tpapi:

The semen quality is supercrazy and great.
Presented with a semen analysis sheet, quickly run through all the other parameters leaving aside count. If the other parameters entered as expected then the count will definitely legit. That's the secret.

Chileads:
Sir, can you provide solution or answers to patient with question on throat and mouth related problem?

Post it. I don't know all... Just post, any with sufficient knowledge and experience can still be of help to you.

Please mail me with kog315@yahoo.com. I can't figure how to read PM from Nairaland.

bossto:
According to her,the discharge smells offensively!

Simple! To the lab, she needs to have her vagina swabbed to know the cause of the offensive vaginal exudation.
Treatment is usually by sensitivity. Please no self-medication.

Bossto

It is normal to have whitish discharges (leukorrhea) passing through the vagina in an adult female. This is essential to keep the vaginal system working well. Just like a mouth with no saliva becomes pathetic so does a vagina without those discharges. Copiousness of flow depends on intervals within her cycle, as she is most likely to see more of this discharges as she nears ovulation and dries off frequently during her safe days.
A health discharge change characteristics within cycle too. Whatever, a normal discharge( whitish or yellowish in some) should be well off without an offensive odor and less cheese-like.
But if it the opposite and comes with other complaint such as itching, soreness of the Instruments and others, she is candidly advised to seek help a doctor's help to diagnose a cause to the abnormal. This may cover a laboratory swab of her vagina/cervix leading to knowing the cause for which a medication sensitive to it will be prescribe.

ennydammy11:
my eyes always turn red and tears do flow out whenever I am reading on my smartphone. What can I do or use to prevent it?

Please, use the thread that is concern with eye problems to seek help. I can't really put out something to this. I wish I could help.

jamesbridget13:

Management :
1. No shaving of the Instruments for the now.
2. Allow aeration of the pubic zone
3. Application of warm compressor on the side of complaint and the boil.
4. Native method: Mix rub and potash( ekanwu) together. Apply mixture on the boil, it will sooth the pain over and cause it to ripe. Both in the morning and afternoon.
5) In the evening after using your bath, apply a Visita Plus cream once.
6) Follow as directed for 2-3 days.
7) Perform lanceting with a clean hand, a wool to clean up and during period of healing use a sitz bathing, or take a warm bath.

chibliss212:
I will be participating in an athletic event and d organizers wants me to bring a medical result showing that i'm physically fit.. Which test should i go 4 and how much will it cost me?

This question should be given to the organizers and they will pass a list of tests you should run in for to ascertain if you fit for the event. Doing it on your own count to random doing and money wasting in trying to cover so much for relevance.
If you choose to do it randomly, the above test can prove your fit:
1) Blood sugar test
2) Blood cholesterol
3) Know your blood pressure.
4) thyroid function test
5) Urinalysis.
6)others

Consult an Exercise physiologist for further briefing.

JedidahGold:
This is my first time having this kind of pain. And according to menstrual calender, I have few days to my menstrual period. I am not nursing a child at the moment. I am also not pregnant because i have not had sexual contact for a while now. There is no colour changes or nipple discharge. Though the I am no longer feeling the pain in my breast and shoulder region, I am now feeling it at the back. I used paracetamol last night and this night too.

It is a normal pain. Pain should subside after observing your cyclic flow, hopefully.
Kindly, allow a free rest and movement of the breast. Use a nursing bra preferably when going out or bras with extra support, not too tight as usual . Reduce (caffeinated) tea of any kind to avoid pains from fibrocystic changes. Low fat diet during breast pain is welcome. Using a cold compressor on the spot extra to the breast having this is okay too. The PCM used by you is an appropriate management, continue it use during this duress to alleviate symptom.

Lilyjudy:
Please can someone help me to read this result? Its a TVS Result that I did today the day 6 of my cycle. I decided to go for the scan because I saw my period on the 1st of January and another on the 22nd of the same month. Later this month, it came on the 17th of this month and lasted for two day and half. Attached is the result.

Interpretation to your result sheet:
UTERUS(Womb):

1) Your uterus carries normal size and dimension.
2)The small hypoechoic nodules denote growth of soft tissues or mass located both in the front(anterior) and back(posterior) of the muscle layer of your uterus.
3)Though the level of thickness of your endometrium( Womb lining) is within a functional limit.

OVARIES:

1) Follicular cyst shows you are in your reproductive age.
2) An ovulation was on and on both side though the right showed a high tense to.

Finally, you can see you have a fibroid( as a soft tissue) located in the muscle layer of your womb. And then the Follicular cyst.

JedidahGold:

Hello Docs.
Anytime I'm seated in a relaxed mode and my legs vertically placed I do experience sort of internal leg vibration though not visible but I could feel it within me.
.
.
Secondly I could recall a time last year I boarded a public transport and had my bag (a school bag, was a bit heavy) placed on my leg. On getting down my left leg was Heavy, Unresponsive that I didnt know I had left my slipper from that same leg inside the vehicle. I felt it was paralysis but it took less than a min before the leg became normal again.
.
What was it and what do I do to prevent future occurrence as it was embarrassing and disturbing

I may not give you a better explanation to this but I need to tell you that this sort of thing happens nearly to everyone. When the leg is left vertical for a long period for any any occasion that allows a no movement of the legs such as sleeping on a desk after a tired day or work, after a good of period time the leg stuff up and stiff, this carries a painful vibrations until it finally subside. This is normal.
That of the bus carries same implication as in not moving the leg for long can cause it to appear heavy due to poor lymphatic return and increase back pressure leading to tissue fluid leakage in the leg tissue cavity space. Overstuffiness of the leg can lead to that internal vibrations and some person also feel a needle-like pinch on the leg until when a free flow is sustained.

To avoid this, avoid sleep over work on your desk when tired, When tired take a proper nap, and when traveling especially on long distances try and always stretch on and off within hours.

I grow up having scar,my mum told me i was sick when i was baby and that the scar is as a result of healing wound that refuse to disappear .
I have since try my best to make sure i get rid of it by buying many skin cream and some tablet but all prove abortive .Though i have not consult any dermatologist but i want to know weather there permanent solution to scar or i should just leave it in the hand God. The worst part is that it is beside my mouth.

Can we see the scar?

Adexmerry,

Endometritis- inflammation of the uterine lining of your uterus (womb). It a case of infection but may not be responsible for the gas around your cervix. It is recommended you do a cervical swab to confirm this inflammation, else it will only go down to something not to bother much about.

Sewasaunt:
I seriously don't know why I took part in your poll but abeg oga, ply your trade elsewhere.
There are real professionals mamas can contact if need be not some uncertified 'medical professional'.
If you are so interested, create your own thread, let whoever wants your assessments contact you there but leave this place sane for women who have enough to deal with abeg.
Thank you
